Now To Answer Some Reviews:
ClawofBeta- Dang, I think this review is one of the longest to this date! Cool! I am glad that my Cilan can help your Cilan in your story. It's always good to be helping. Critiques: That was one reason why I had Luna leave the group. I didn't want to write all of Ash's battles with the same Gym Leader. I might be able to have Luna watch one of Ash's battles and then her thoughts on it when she either battles a day before or after him. I shall take your ideas and put them in for later use. Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
xAmethystFox- Luna will travel with the others soon (most likely after her fourth gym battle), I swear, or else I'll eat my hat. It was fun to write Trip angry at Luna. Why did you quit Luna x N? I thought you loved them... Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
ultima-owner- I know~! Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
Guest- Well, on behalf of everyone here and myself, I would like to welcome you to the world of Fanfiction! With Cilan and Luna, they're the ones who have a more brother/sister relationship. He cares for her quite a bit; though she doesn't actually see it. I'll take your other ideas (they're pretty good ones too) into consideration and we'll see from there. To answer your question on continuing it after this one is done... Well, I've got somethings in mind but they can change in a heartbeat. So, we'll see then. Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
AWPlays- "Jolly good show." I haven't heard that phase in such a long time and I grew up with old school. Wanna know what would be funny? Chapter 25 being 25 pages... Get it? He he. But to say the truth, it's not the longest chapter ever I've written. There are four actually that're over 23k in my Soul Eater story, Half, in a row. So... Yeah... Anyway, Servine and Lucario are going to be so much fun to write. He he he. I know what you mean with Absol and will think on it. Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
Jose- Sí, Servine evolucionará de nuevo pronto. Tengo que cepillada en los capítulos posteriores. Estoy feliz de tener su pleno apoyo y si alguna vez escribir historias y publicarlas, aunque para un sitio como este, o un pequeño pedazo corto, estaré detrás de ti todo el camino, así! Gracias por el review. Espero que les guste el capítulo.
UsagiAngelRabbit- Luna will join Ash and the others after her next Gym Match so there's that. Did you like the picture? I honestly had a hard time deciding to do this when I had thought of it (that was like chapter 10 or something). But now, I am glad that I did it and will continue to do it until the story ends. When the next Pokémon poll comes up, I'll be sure to add an Ice Type or two just for you. Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
bella- That's a new record for this story! Your hands may either be asleep or are just cramping. Did you trying massaging them? That's helped me in the past. Especially after typing for a long period of time. Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
Chapter 25
A Frosty Dream
Place: Dirt Path, Near a Mountain Range Area, Near Nimbasa City, Central Unova Region
TThe day after the Pokémon Club Battle Tournament, the set of seven Wings had vanished, a white feather tipped with red and black had replaced it. A sign. It was nice that my family was watching over me.
Now, the sun was setting from another day of walking on the path way to Nimbasa City. I had just left the Pokémon Center, where I had gotten some food and a checkup for my Pokémon after having a battle with some not-so-nice wild Pokémon. Servine and Lucario were able to chase them off just enough as we all got away. I didn't want any fighting.
It was going to be nice sleeping under the stars, having my friends out to sleep around with. But...
"What did you just say?!"
Brown and red eyes glared at each other as sparks flew in the air between them. You could actually see flames surround the two.
"I guess your hearing is failing you, old man!"
"Oh I see, well I guess I'm not a shrimp like someone here..."
"At least, I don't look like a girl!"
"Why you little..."
And the two babies continued on. I pinched the bridge of my nose, groaning out when I heard the bickering nonstop. Why did this happen almost every time Lucario and Servine were both out?
"Why me?" I asked myself, eyes rolling upward, shoulders slumped. I stopped, turning around to glare down at them, eyes cold as ice. "If both of you don't stop, I'm going to do something that I will not regret." This made them stop abruptly, both of them staring at me. My nostrils flared. "Understood?"
I turned back around before they could answer. We walked on before we ended up in a clearing, my blanket laid out; all my Pokémon out. After some introductions where done with Milotic and the rest, I pulled in for the evening, my family laid around me. After many arguments on where each of them would sleep, it was decided. Lucario was on my left side, Servine on my right, while Zweilous was near my feet on left, one head laid itself over the other as Espeon was curled up near Servine. Milotic's long body curled around us on the outside, which I used as a pillow.
I fell asleep moments after I closed my eyes.
Place: Unknown
We had to fight. It was just as it was. The war that had started it all. We had been One before we became Three. The Yin, the Yang, and the Wuji. The Fire, the Yang, and the Ice. All the same in a way but never were since the beginning. The Third had vanished right after it had appeared, devastation written all over their face when they knew we could never be put back together. We all had wished it didn't have to be like that.
The Yang and the Yin had chosen a side between Ideals and Truth; to each a brother we sided with. The older was mine while the younger was my brother's. Even when everything was over, no outcome was decided. It still hurt. Nothing was decided.
Nothing...
We still fought. Nothing was solved. Everything was destroyed. We vanished when everything was a barren waste land.
We never even said good bye-
Wait... This wasn't my memory. Why were they there? Why was I watching this?
Because this is what has happened.
Were you the one who showed me this?
Yes...
Why? What was it supposed to mean? Why did you show me them?
The memories of the shall lead you to the many questions you have. Those memories... are the key.
But why?
I cannot answer that question. That is something for you to figure out.
Are you just going to talk in riddles?
...
...
You're waking up...
Wait!
I will see you again...
Hold on! Answer me!
Good bye Luna...
Place: Rocky Path, Mountain Range Area, Near Nimbasa City, Central Unova Region
A few days passed on and I had to cross a mountain to get to Nimbasa City. Once passed it, I would have finally made it to the city.
"This path surely is uneven," Lucario commented, stepping over the large cracks on the path way that was broken up. Splintered trees were scattered everywhere.
"The storm yesterday sure was rough... Almost everything is destroyed." I couldn't help but say as I looked around. I jumped from one rock to another, going after Lucario.
"Ah," he began before his narrowed eyes looked to the ground. "Luna, look." He jumped down, kneeling next to an injured and barely conscious Cubchoo, a white and light blue Pokémon with a darker blue muzzle that had a considerable amount of light blue nasal mucus drooping from it. It had rounded forepaws and a small round tail.
Jumping down next to him, Lucario had the small Pokémon in his arms. "It must have gotten caught up in the storm." I took the little one from his arms. "Go and find some berries so it can gain some energy."
"Right." He nodded, turning and running into the forest of damaged trees to find some berries.
I moved my body around, careful of the precious cargo in my arms, so I could sit down, leaning my back up against a broken-off rock.
"Ah..." Cubchoo groaned weakly as black, round eyes opened slowly. "Wh... What?" Half-opened eyes looked around before they landed on me. "Who..."
"It's alright, young one. You are safe. There's is nothing to worry about," I told it, giving it a soft smile.
"Safe..." It grumbled out, the snot from its nose becoming more watery.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
"I... became separated from my... family... Must find them..."
It must have happened from when the storm happened. The poor thing.
"Okay, okay. Go to sleep. I won't let anything happen to you." I ran a hand through its blue fur. I glanced up when I heard branches cracking, thinking it was Lucario, but it turned out to be three Beartic all around me.
Shit!
And boy, were they angry. It only grew worse when I stood up and tried to scoot away. Suddenly all three of them opened their mouths and the inside of them started to glow light blue and light, bluesparkles gathered inside. I jumped up when an icy wind with snow hit the area, freezing where I once was.
Landing on the top of the rock I had been leaning against, I shouted angrily at the three Pokémon, "What the hell?!"
Just when they were about to send out another attack, I jumped, landing on the head of the middle one, kicking off it and propelling myself into the air. I landed quite a ways away from them and ran with Cubchoo in my arms. I needed to get to Lucario. The Beartic went after me.
"Lucario!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the trees. I wouldn't be able to keep up this speed for long. A pulsating bright red energy tornado appeared rotating around that came between me and the Beartic, stunning them. Stopping, I turned to see the tornado stop spinning and a Pokémon appeared, poised to attack.
It was a yellow, bipedal, mustelid-like Pokémon, with round ears, red eyes, and a pink nose with a whisker on each side. I scanned it with my Pokédex. It said:
Mienfoo, the Martial Arts Pokémon. Mienfoo's sharp claws strike quickly and precisely. It also overwhelms opponents with its skillful combination attacks.
A man in a green suit with a brown belt appeared. He had an army cut brown hair. Grey eyes looked at me as he said, "Come on, let's run while we still have the chance!"
"Luna!"
Place: Cottage, Base of the Mountain Range Area, Near Nimbasa City, Central Unova Region
The man's name was Cliff, the chief ranger and a part of the mountain patrol in the area. Lucario had come back just as we had run off. After introducing ourselves to each other, the Aura Pokémon had given Cubchoo the Oran Berry along with some milk. It was back up to health in no time.
"I'm glad you're feeling well again," I told the small one, smiling at it.
"I wonder why it was at the base of the mountain," Cliff wondered. "This one must belong to a different sleuth than the Beartic earlier."
"What do you mean?"
Cliff walked over to a map of the area. "On this mountain, there are two Beartic sleuths, you see," he explained, pointing to where the darkest brown was. "One lives near the mountain top..." The finger moved over to a much lighter brown. "...while the other lives close to the base."
"So the ones on the base were the ones to attack me."
"But it's strange," he muttered to himself, "I haven't heard any reports that the sleuths don't get along."
"I wonder why those Beartic were so angry then?" I thought aloud. "There must be a reason to all of this." I looked up at the Human. "We need to return Cubchoo as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Cubchoo danced happily around on the floor of the cabin, the snot swinging around. "Yes! I'll be back with my family! Yay!"
Place: Somewhere in the Mountain Range Area, Near Nimbasa City, Central Unova Region
We overlooked a part of the forest on a cliff traveling to the mountain's summit. "The territory of the Beartic at the base extends to this area for the most part." Cliff pointed to the right then to the far left. "It's a slight detour, but if we pass this forest, we should be able to reach the Beartic at the mountain top without running to them."
Soon, a path was taken led by Cliff and his Mienfoo. I held the Cubchoo in my arms. It was so cute, I just could eat it up! Yes, I could! Yes, I could. With all its furry furriness and the adorable nose with those black, round eyes. Who wouldn't find this adorable one cute? (Well there was Iris and her fear of Ice Types...) He he he.
"You'll see your friends soon, Cubchoo," I told him, smiling down at the hope-filled look it gave me.
"Really?" Black eyes sparkled.
"Really," I promised. I wanted to squeal so much at the cuteness it was unknowingly exposing to me. We stopped when Cliff held out his hand, motioning me to stay silent when he showed two Beartic close to the path leading to the summit searching for something
"So many..." Lucario mused over. "But why are they over here?"
"Those are not my family," Cubchoo uttered sadly, ears drooping.
"So it's the base sleuth? Then why are they so close to the path?" There were many unsaid questions Cliff held under his tongue.
"Behind us!" Lucario warned. A Beartic stood high behind us and before it was known, we were surrounded by three Beartic, the same ones from before.
I took out a Poké Ball. "Espeon, Flash! Lucario, use Copycat on Espeon when uses she Flash," I commanded and then told the Human and his partner, "Cover your eyes!"
The red gem on Espeon's forehead shined brightly, giving off a blinding, bright light. Lucario saw this and became surrounded in a waving light gray aura of light. Placing his paws together, the same light that Espeon gave off shined in between his paws.
"Let's get out of here!" I grabbed Cliff's hand under the light and made a break for it. The Pokémon followed as we left behind three blinded Beartic.
We only ran into another group of three Beartic and soon became surrounded on both sides of the path from the three before. Crap! When they charged up for an attack, ice blue coming from the mouths, we ran blindly into the forest, Cliff and I separating from each other on the way. I stumbled down a sloping, rocky hill and ended up losing Lucario and Espeon when they fell another way. Closing my arms around Cubchoo, making sure it wouldn't get hurt, I squeezed my eyes shut as I tumbled to the foot of the mountain. A groan escaped when I felt my side hit the rugged surface. My body rolled a few more feet until it was finally over.
My grip around the Pokémon inside loosened, and the Cubchoo raised up to sit on my stomach."Luna!" It whined, nearly crying when I cracked open an eye. "Don't die, Luna, please! I don't want to be alone! You promised me you'd help me get to my family! Luna!"
I sweat-dropped at the dramatic pleas. It was only a small tumble... Well, now calming a crying Pokémon was at the top of my to do list. "Cubchoo," I said, a hand raising up to stroke the fur on the back of its head, "there's no need for tears. I am fine. See?" Sitting up, the small Pokémon slid down my chest and onto my lap.
"You're alive!" It cried, white front paws tried to hug me as it teared up against my chest.
"Yes, yes, I'm alive." Seriously? I was fine. Maybe a bit battered and a few bruises here and there but I was completely, otherwise, fine. But I still stroked the little one's fur until it calmed down. I gave it another smile. "Better?"
"Un!" It nodded. "Sorry for getting your shirt wet..." It had a bashful look, glancing away to the left. I waved it off, saying it was no big deal. Really, just something to wear was nothing on me.
I looked at the top of the cliff. It was too high to jump and no one was there. I was parted from Lucario and Espeon. I had to look for them. Calling out would be a bad idea; it could give away our location to wild Pokémon. It was better to stay out of the way than be attacked. Especially with the little one with me.
Its stomach then rumbled. "I'm hungry," it stated, rubbing its belly. I wished I had a camera to take the cute picture the Chill Pokémon just gave.
Standing slowly, I made sure nothing was broken or cracked. I would be sore later on though. "Let's go find some food then. I can't leave you hungry now, can I?" I asked, grinning down at the Chill Pokémon.
"Un!"
After searching my bag and finding nothing, (making a note that I would need to stock up when I hit the next Pokémon Center) I picked the little one up and we were in search of food.
Place: Clearing, Somewhere at the Base of the Mountain Range Area, Near Nimbasa City, Central Unova Region
There was little to no luck in finding any food until we came upon a pile of berries and fruit on a tree stump. The storm really did a number on the forest. Barely any food had survived.
"Food!" Cubchoo giggled, clapping its paws. It tried to wiggly out of grip to try to get the different type of fruit and berries. "Food! There's food, Luna!"
"I can see that, Cubchoo," I noted, looking around. Why were they just sitting on a tree stump out in the middle there? When Cubchoo had gone to get one, I pulled it back. "That food can be someone else's, Cubchoo. If we take it, then whoever owns them can get mad and attack us. Do you want that?"
It deflated, head bowing as the snot from its nose swung side to side. "No..."
"Then we can go find some other food. I am sure there's bound to be something somewhere. Okay?" It agreed with me, looking at the mixed berries and fruit longingly. "C'mon let's go."
But just as we were about to leave, a group of Beartic with a few Cubchoo riding on their backs appeared behind me. We each froze when we saw the other. I paled when they glared and growled at me.
"What is a Human invading our territory doing here?!" One growled, presumably the leader of them all.
Turning around slowly to face the leader, I looked up at it. "We were passing through, that all." A few members looked though the berries. "If you're thinking that we took some, we didn't. I know not to steal from another's stash."
I could still remember burns I got when I tried to take food from Lady Ninetales one time. I had to stay in bed, recovering from burns, for a week. Never take food from a Pokémon, especially one who could cook you in a crisp in seconds.
The leader didn't see reason. "How can I be for sure that you didn't take the food we collected? The food my sleuth needs to survive!"
Really?
"I know! From the damage the storm had done there isn't much food that isn't destroyed. You can't just accuse me of something that I didn't do nor even thought of doing. I-" I had begun to say when another voice resounded in the area.
"Leave the Human and my young one alone," it boomed. We all looked up on a lowered cliff just near us where the other Beartic group.
"Papa! Everyone!" Cubchoo cried tears of joy upon seeing its family. "You came for me!"
The one dubbed 'Papa' nodded, the members agreeing with it. "Of course, young one. We've been so worried about you. We had searched everywhere for you."
"Luna, there you are. Are you all right?" Lucario asked as he came up next to the mountain top group.
"I am fine, Lucario."
"I told you she'd be okay. There was nothing to go all mother hen over," Espeon sighed, walking gracefully next to the male Pokémon.
"I didn't go all mother hen," he growled out, eyes narrowing when she giggled. He sniffed, arms crossed. "I was simply worried that I couldn't find Luna at all."
The mountain base group growled and roared at the other, daring them to attack.
"Wait, you're wrong," Cliff proclaimed, "These Beartic from the summit don't want to steal your food. They only came to get Cubchoo back!" The group leader agreed, asking them if they could get their young and leave.
But they did not listen.
Three of them opened their mouths. They then released a wind with snow inside of it from their mouths at the summit group. Mienfoo was quick to jump into action as it jumped and put its hands together in front of it with its palms touching. It became outlined in red when it puts its arms forward. It was floating as a pulsating bright red energy shield appeared in front of Mienfoo's hands and went around itself and the others, protecting them from the attacks.
The leaders from both side attacked at the same time.
Both Beartic's body were outlined in a light blue aura as they pulled their heads back and opened each of their mouths. When they did, a spinning orb of bright blue energy formed before each of them fired a powerful light blue beam of energy with light blue snowflake-shaped sparkles. Both beams collided, knocking everyone off balance, even the boulders. Three of them started to roll down the side of a larger cliff.
"Espeon! Lucario! I need you!" I told them as they both raised up and jumped in front of me. "Espeon, use Swift! Lucario, use Focus Palm!"
"Right," they said in unison.
At the left boulder, Espeon opened her mouth and yellow stars shot out of it, breaking it apart. For the one on the right, Lucario ran up the side cliff, appearing behind the rolling boulder, and placed both palms on it. He then fired a huge light green blast from its paw to make the boulder crumble apart.
"Ah!" Cubchoo shouted as the middle and final one fell. I was about to move away when a Beartic pushed me down and crouched over me. Closing my eyes shut, I head multiple roars and blasts then the sound of freezing. Cracking open one eye, then another, I looked over the shoulder to see the boulder covered in ice, frozen against the cliff.
The base leader rasped out, "Thank you."
"You're not that bad..." The summit leader admitted. "And thanks, for protecting the young one." Both of them grinned at each other, finally coming to some kind of understanding.
"Ah..."
The base leader looked down at me as I sat up, using its body as a back rest. I let out a breath of relief. That was too close.
"Luna!" Lucario ran over to me, kneeling in front of my body. He fretted over my body, asking if I had any injuries. Yup, always the mother hen.
"As you can see, I am perfectly fine, Lucario, Espeon."
"Good." Espeon nodded, eyes closing as she sat in front of me and gave me a smile. "Thank you for saving my Trainer's life." She bowed her head slightly to both Beartic. Lucario copied her, saying his thanks as well.
Both sides had come to an understanding finally and the issue was finally resolved with Cubchoo back with its family, the summit group. With the forest destroyed though, the other group would have to move on. Thankfully, Cliff knew a forest where they dwelled, making them pleased. We said our good byes with wishes of wanting to see each other once more and resumed our way towards Nimbasa City.
Author's Note: I just wanted to thank everyone who've read, reviewed, followed, and faved this story. It wouldn't be without all your support that this story keeps on going. But now... I finally finished it! It was supposed to be up last night but things happened and I lost interest to write that night so I finished it up today real quickly (when I remembered) and posted it. This was a pretty cute chapter to. I laughed at Luna whenever she gushed when I reread the chapter.
Random Question: Luna needs a new outfit. What do you want her to wear? (Suggestions are wanted as I have yet to make the final choice.)
Next Chapter: There are strange things happening in Nimbasa City's Underground Subway. Pokémon are being stolen and Team Rocket is up to no good once again. Ash and Iris want their partners back. Cilan is acting crazy. Luna is just plain annoyed.
