New chapter! Sorry for the long wait, guys! Christmas was busy yet wonderful! I got a new IPhone, a kindle, a new car, and Photoshop cs3! I'm looking for a job and used the free time to improve the bios of all my OCs in my Deviantart account! Also, the government has been debating on passing the SOPA bill; if it does, then fanfiction and Deviantart will be deactivated! Do whatever you can to stop SOPA!
Before we get started, there's one more note I should point out. The Jewel of Life has been hiding with the Lapras twins after Crystal was revived. There is a better explanation as soon as you read the chap!
Other than that concern, enjoy the new chapter! But warning; there is angst.
New Divide
Chapter 36: Angst and Pain
Laureen hums cheerily as she places an abandoned antique on a display windowsill. She smiles slightly as she carefully turns it to face the window. It was an old grandfather clock that has been lost to the sea along with the cruise ship where she found it in. Laureen and her twin sister have gotten a lot of hidden treasure out of the ship; treasure that they can use to help with their business. The lost money helped them pay for an upgrade in their jewelry store.
Laureen smiles as she swims towards the counter while her sister wipes some smog off the window. She swims through a cavern that leads to their storage room and pulls out a box of small various shells. She is about to swim out of the cave when a glowing object catches her eye. She peers over a hidden corner and sees a green orb glowing brightly behind a purple shell.
Laureen smiles slightly at the objects. The great creators of the world have called the Lapras twins (courtesy from Crystal, of course) and asked them to keep the objects hidden underwater. The heroes believe that Darkstar wouldn't think that the objects would be hidden in the sea and think that it would be fine that the duo would keep them in a hidden area. The Lapras were honored by the opportunity and promised Arceus that they would protect the objects with their lives.
Laureen smiles again and shakes her head as she pulls out a few shells from the box and puts the box back onto its shelf. Then Laureen swims out of the hidden cave and shuts the entrance with a large boulder. No one would suspect two legendary objects being hidden in an underwater cavern inside a jewelry store.
Soon the sound of thunder rumbles from above the sea. The Lapras pause to look out the window and realize that a storm is brewing soon. They smile widely at each other. A storm approaching means that some lost cargo would wash up in the beach. Luckily for the duo, their store is nearby a large beach.
Laureen places the shells onto the counter. "You ready to go, dear sister?"
Laura smiles as she grabs a large bag and places it over her long neck. Then she picks up a large poster and faces the side that says 'Closed' against the window. "Certainly. I can't wait to see what washes ashore this time."
With wide smiles on their faces, the Lapras close up their shop and slowly swim towards their destination. The sound of thunder grows louder as they approach the surface. As soon as their heads rise above the water, they yelp when a large tidal wave harshly crashes upon them. The duo splutter as they rise above the water again.
"Laureen!" Laura cries as she floats beside her sister. She looks around cautiously. Rain is pouring heavily from the black sky and it was almost difficult to see anything. The waves were moving around in frantic patterns. Thunder is also striking dangerously low near the water. "I don't know if this is a good idea! I think that this storm might turn into a hurricane!"
Laureen grimaces when a loud thunder strikes. She shakes her head. "We'll be fine, dear! The beach isn't that far! Besides, the stronger the wind, the better chances that we'll have at finding good treasure!" Then she turns and floats away with some difficulty. "Come along, now!"
"Can't we wait until the storm passes?"
"If we do, then all of the good stuff will be lost to someone else!"
Laura sighs and shakes her head. If there was one thing different about her sister, it is her determination.
The duo continue to float towards their destination. It was difficult considering the massive waves and harsh winds. After about twenty minutes, they see the beach and sigh in relief. Soon they crawl towards the sands but shiver when the cold wind brushes through their wet skin.
"Let's look around quickly and get out of here!" Laura cries. She looks anxiously at the sky. "I don't want to stay out in this storm for too long!"
Laureen forces herself to smile at her sister despite their situation. She crawls forward and her eyes glint when she sees large waves pushing a few items into the beach. She sees a large chest and opens it. To her curiosity, she sees various elegant human dresses, suits, and some priceless treasures inside. She places aside the clothing and takes out some of the treasure. She inspects some of them while Laura crawls up to her and waits patiently. Finally Laureen takes out a small pearl bracelet, a silver tiara, a gold necklace, and a large emerald. She places the four items into her sister's bag.
Suddenly Laura grows stiff as she sniffs around. Laureen frowns at her. "What's wrong?"
"I smell something strange…" Laura murmurs as she looks around the beach. "But I can't tell if it's sea water or blood-"
"Blood?" Laureen exclaims. "Laura, don't be absurd! No land creature in their right mind would come out in this storm! It's too dangerous for them!"
"Then what is that I'm smelling?"
Laureen sighs before she begins to sniff the air. She pauses when she smells something off and frowns. After looking around the beach carefully, she shakes her head. "Maybe it's just the storm. Don't worry about it."
Laura looks unconvinced as she follows her sister through the beach. They look around cautiously and find a few seashells in the sand before they continue. They flinch when thunder strikes again but pause when they see something strange before them.
They see two large palm trees in the beach. The storm must have torn them off. But that isn't what caught the duo off guard. It is what is surrounding the trees.
Blood...
The duo glance at each other warily before they slowly crawl towards the trees. They stare at the foliage for a few moments before throwing aside the trees and staring down at what looks like a patch of seaweed. Their hearts stop when they see a pair of black lizard legs sticking out of the pile.
Suddenly a groan catches their ears and they stare in shock as the form of a black and white Grovyle rolls onto her side away from the seaweed. The physical state that she is in was positively horrendous. She had large purple bruises all over her back, neck, and thighs. Her wrists and ankles are swollen. She has deep cuts on her forehead, biceps, and stomach. Her digital watch seems to have been blasted and is beyond repairable. Blood was heavily pouring out from between her legs.
"Crystalline!" The Lapras shriek as they move the seaweed away from Crystal's form. Their shock turns into worry, horror, and panic as they surround her and look for any more wounds. Laura throws aside her bag as she frantically checks for broken bones while Laureen checks for a pulse. Laureen lets out a sigh when she feels a very weak pulse.
Crystal groans again as she weakly opens her eyes. The Lapras look down at her with wide eyes. "Crystal! You're alive, thank Arceus! Who is the monster that has done this to you?" Laura cries.
They notice that Crystal's eyes are no longer gold, but look almost orange and bloodshot. She weeps silently as she looks around in confusion and fear. When she sees the Lapras, her tears flow even more. "Girls…?" She croaks.
"We're here, darling. Don't you worry." Laureen gently wipes Crystal's forehead. Crystal winces when the pain in her forehead grows extreme. "You're safe now."
Crystal's eyes begin to close. But before she faints, she manages to say, "Eclipso… Rape… Torture…"
The girls' hearts sink as they take in the words. Then they look down at the lizard's groin and feel their hearts breaking when they realize what has happened. Crystal was raped, tortured, and left on the beach to die. But who is this Eclipso? That doesn't matter. What matters is that their friend is hurt and she needs immediate medical help.
Laureen trembles and breathes heavily as she looks around. To her slight relief, she sees a small cave nearby the shore that is big enough for the Grovyle to fit inside. Wordlessly she looks at her sister and points at the cave. Laura gets the drift and nods. Laureen then slowly but gently places Crystal onto her back before the duo crawl towards the cave. Thunder strikes but the duo refuse to get caught off guard regardless of the fear and anxiety now plaguing their hearts. As soon as they are near the shelter, Laureen gently lies Crystal inside the cave. The duo shield the entrance from the heavy rainstorm and take a good look at Crystal. Their hearts plummet even further when they realize that Crystal's friends are far away. They don't have any materials that can help Crystal heal overnight or to even stop her bleeding. What can they do?
Then Laureen's eyes narrow and she glares at her sister. "Laura, go underwater and grab the strongest seaweed that you can find. I'll use my affinity to heal Crystal's wounds as best as I can."
Laura gives her sister a look of disbelief. "But seaweed isn't strong enough to wrap around anything, least of all keep wounds bandaged!"
"It is the only chance that we have! Crystal might die if we don't do something and there isn't anyone around here that can help us! We have no choice!" Laureen snaps. Laura stares at her sister for a moment before she nods and turns to leave. As soon as she jumps into the water, Laureen turns to Crystal and gently turns her to rest onto her back. Then she breathes deeply as she focuses on the seawater and reaches out for it. Suddenly the liquid floats out from the sea and comes towards the Lapras. Laureen turns to Crystal and carefully inserts the water into her bloodstream to start cleaning the infections.
Crystal's eyes squint and she grimaces. Laureen then remembers that the seawater is salt water and that it is painful to use to clean wounds. Then she shakes her head; she has no fresh water. There is no alternative.
Crystal begins to squirm even more. Laureen frowns apologetically at the lizard. "Crystalline, I know that it hurts. But there is no other way. I'm sorry."
The cleaning continues and tears leak out of Crystal's eyes as she feels even more extreme pain from her bloodstream. She lets out a breath when it suddenly stops. Laureen summons out the dirtied seawater and dumps in into the sand behind. Right on cue, Laureen submerges from the sea with lots of seaweed in her mouth. She quickly crawls up to her sister and places the seaweed down before her. The duo waste no time in wrapping the seaweed around Crystal's wounds as best as they could. Crystal winces when they tighten the bandages around her, particularly around her head.
As soon as they are done, the duo look Crystal over. Her bleeding has slightly stopped, but it won't be long before she gets a cold from the storm (if she isn't already sick). The duo shield the entrance from the storm and stare around the beach. They could feel their hope slimming when they realize that the storm won't let up anytime soon and that no one is around to help them.
It looks like they are on their own throughout the night.
-ooo-
In the underground medical laboratory of the Garden of Eden, Zoroark hastily taps his foot impatiently. He paces around the room with his arms crossed while everyone stares at the floor with bored interest.
"I'm worried…" Zoroark's eyes flash with anxiety as he stares at his feet. "Crystal and the exiles haven't come back in hours… What if something happened to them? What if they got lost in the storm?"
"Eclipso and the exiles would never let anything happen to Crystal." Lily assures the fox gently. She sits on a clean medical bed with Raven beside her. "They would have found shelter. They'll be fine. I'm certain of it."
"But why isn't Crystal answering any of our calls?" Scalene frowns as she points at her digital watch. "Every time I try to call her, it always states that such a watch number doesn't exist. What if she broke her watch?"
"They'll still find shelter. Don't worry. They'll be back by morning." Ribo smiles even though his own eyes display slight worry.
"I swear, Crystal loves going out only to worry the hell out of us." Violet grumbles as she crosses her arms. "If this keeps up, then I might as well install a GPS into her watch and know exactly where she is and who she's with."
"So overprotective, Violet." Rocky chuckles. "You act as if you're her mother."
"She's my friend." Violet hisses. "I have every right to be worried about her."
"You're not as worried about us as you are with her. What's up with that?" Rocky teases with a toothy grin. "Can you stand to watch us getting hurt?"
"Don't be a wuss."
Raikou, Darkrai, and Ash couldn't help but snort. Watching Crystal's friends arguing is more or less amusing, but they have to admit that they are worried about Crystal. Didn't she leave just to set things straight with Eclipso? Darkrai is certain that his brother wouldn't hurt the Grovyle; the other exiles wouldn't let him anyway. But the boys have to be honest when they say that it probably wasn't a good idea to let Crystal be alone with the exiles, particularly since they have cybertronic machinery installed into them. They aren't sure if there are side effects to the machinery, but they know that they can't be good. Based on how upset Eclipso has made Crystal, they know that it probably would end with more tears.
But that doesn't excuse the fact on why they have been out for hours. If things ended badly, then Eclipso and Crystal would try to avoid each other as soon as they return. But what could have happened to where Crystal couldn't come home instantly?
Suddenly extreme pain strikes the heroes brains. They cry out as they fall down to their knees and clutch their heads. Instantly everyone glances at them and grow concerned.
"What's wrong?" Pikachu asks as he places his paws on Ash's lap. Suicune, Entei, and Cresselia gently nuzzle their counterparts and ask the same question with the same amount of concern.
The boys say nothing as the pain worsens and they cry out. They sweat as several dark images flash through their minds. They could see Darkstar laughing evilly while Eclipso's eyes flash dangerously. Thunder strikes behind them and a girl's agonized screams echoes through their ears.
"Boys… Help me…" A familiar voice croaks. The boys then see an image of two gold eyes flashing in pain and tears flowing. Then more flashes of random images flow through the boys' minds. They see darkness before two Lapras stare down at them in horror. Then the image changes and displays the Lapras setting Crystal into a small gave. When they see the sand, they automatically assume that the trio are at a beach someplace.
Then everything hits the duo and their eyes snap open wide. They breathe heavily as they stare at each other warily and ignore their friends' questions. They continue to breathe heavily before they shake their heads.
"Crystal…" Darkrai breathes before he glances at Violet. She is giving him a strange look. Without warning, the phantom launches forward and snaps the watch off her wrist. The female clone protests in alarm.
"What are you doing?" She demands. The boys ignore her as they huddle together. Darkrai presses random buttons onto his watch until he sees a holographic image of the beach. When he selects it, a portal opens before the heroes. Everyone blinks in confusion as the trio jump into the portal and disappear. As soon as the portal closes, everyone stares in bafflement.
What just happened…?
-ooo-
Soon the boys arrive at the beach. They yell out when the cold wind hits their bodies. They shield their eyes and wince when thunder strikes. Then they look around their surroundings and squint. The storm is far too fierce to see anything.
"Hello?" Ash calls out loudly. "Is anybody out here?"
The waves crash against the heroes. They yelp and splutter as they rush back into the shore and shiver at the sudden coldness.
"HELLO?" Raikou bellows. "CRYSTAL, WHERE ARE YOU?"
The boys are silent until they hear distant cries. "Who is there?"
The duo pause before they rush towards the source of the voice. "Keep speaking! That way we can find you!" Raikou shouts.
The voice then makes a beastly howl that startles the heroes. But they continue forward with their hearts pounding frantically in their chests. Soon they find a small cave covered by two tall Lapras. The duo look a bit defensive for some reason.
"Laura? Laureen?" Raikou blinks in surprise. The Lapras stare down at him in surprise. "Legendary Raikou?" Suddenly their expressions turn into relief and joy. "Oh, thank Arceus that you're here!"
"I'm surprised that you're out in this storm!" Raikou's eyes glint in relief.
"But what are you doing out in this storm anyway?" Laura tilts her head in confusion.
"We're looking for a close friend." Darkrai floats up and narrows his eyes suspiciously. The Lapras were in the vision he saw earlier. "A black and white Grovyle named Crystal. Do you know where she is?"
The girls' expressions turn into shock before they glance at each other. Their expressions turn into grief before they crawl aside and show the boys the tiny cave. The boys' breaths hitch in their throats as soon as they see the unconscious lizard.
"Crystal!" Raikou cries as he rushes forward. Darkrai and Ash rush forward as well and the boys kneel around Crystal. They stare at the lizard with horrific eyes. Then Raikou glances at the Lapras. "What happened?"
"We found her on the beach when we came to look for treasure." Laura explains sadly. "She was under two palm trees and a pile of seaweed. Crystal woke up and said 'Eclipso… Rape… Torture…' to us. We don't know who this Eclipso is, but we know what damage is done." She lowers her head in shame. Laureen nuzzles her sister comfortingly.
Darkrai could feel something in his chest tighten as he stares down at Crystal. Raikou and Ash could feel tears threatening to flow from their eyes. "Eclipso… Did this…?" Darkrai mutters hoarsely. He sees the blood between Crystal's thighs and turns his head away with a groan. "No…"
"HEY! PHANTURD!" A furious feminine voice shouts. The heroes jump in surprise and turn to see Violet storming towards them with a bewildered Ribo behind her. "WHAT IS THE BIG IDEA STEALING MY WATCH? YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE OR I'M GONNA-" Violet stops abruptly as soon as she sees Crystal. Ribo almost bumps into her but stops right when he sees her stare. He looks up and his eyes widen when he sees Crystal.
There is silence as the boys watch the duo's expressions turn from deadpan into a mixture of shock, horror, and fear. "Crystal…?" Violet's voice is barely above a squeak as she stares at her friend. Suddenly she lets out a shriek and rushes forward. She pushes Darkrai aside and cradles Crystal in her arms as she cries and hyperventilates. Ribo only stares numbly at Crystal as if he is trying to process the fact that his friend is possibly dead in front of him.
Crystal lets out a groan. Violet gasps and pulls away as Crystal slowly opens her eyes. Everyone hastily surrounds her as she looks up with pained confusion. When she sees Raikou, Darkrai, and Ash, she smiles very weakly. "You heard my call…" She murmurs.
So that's what happened, the boys mused. Crystal has called out to them through her unconscious state with her telepathy and alerted them that she was in trouble. Instantly Violet begins asking questions.
"CRYSTAL, HOLY F**K! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? WHO DID THIS TO YOU? WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL FOR HELP? WHERE ARE ECLIPSO AND THE OTHER EXILES?"
Crystal and the boys visibly flinch at hearing the mention of the traitorous exiles. Crystal's eyes begin to water and she suddenly lets out a cry of anguish. Without warning, she wraps her arms tightly around a bewildered Violet and holds onto her tightly as she continues crying. Violet stares at Crystal in absolute bewilderment before she holds the Grovyle tightly and lets her friend cry on her shoulder. Ribo seems to be trembling as he kneels beside the clone and wraps an arm around her shoulder. He has never seen his best friend cry out of anguish or fear. Seeing her in such a state… He has no idea what to do to fix the situation.
Crystal continues to cry for several minutes until she is quiet. Violet looks down at her and realizes that the poor girl has fainted from stress and physical weariness.
"Get her out of here." Laureen suddenly says. The Pokémon look at her in surprise. The Lapras hold stern glares. "Crystal needs professional medical care. You'll all get sick if you stay in this storm!"
"Go quickly!" Laura adds. "The storm will only get worse!"
The heroes stare at the Lapras before they nod in agreement. Ribo carefully picks Crystal up into his arms while Violet snatches the watch from Darkrai and presses a few buttons on her watch. When she finishes, a portal opens. Wasting no time, the heroes jump into the portal. However, Laureen holds Raikou and Darkrai back. The Legendaries give the Lapras a questioning look.
"Take good care of Crystal. Don't let anything happen to her." The Lapras' eyes flash in a stern manner. The boys stare at her for a moment before they slowly nod and jump into the portal after their friends. The Lapras watch as the portal closes with a flash of light.
-ooo-
As soon as the heroes appear back in the valley, they rush towards the cave with a blurring speed. They pass by several soldiers and ignore their horrified stares as they reach to the medical lab. As soon as they reach down the stairs, their allies turn to them.
"About time you came back." Rocky snorts as he turns to them. "We thought that the boys might have overreacted and-" Rocky turns silent as soon as he sees Crystal. His eyes widen in disbelief.
Instantly everyone turns silent as they drop what they were holding (which were mainly berries) and stare in horror. Ribo wastes no time and pushes his way through the stricken crowd as he gently places Crystal onto a free medical bed. He and Violet begin to activate several medical devices while the boys stare at Crystal with fearful expressions.
Suddenly two shrieks break the silence. Laki and Lily rush forward and grab Crystal's hands as they begin to cry. "CRYSSY!" Lily cries as she takes in the state that her twin is in. Laki begins to cry hysterically and shakes her head while muttering something in Spanish.
Finally everyone reacts and let out cries of horror, disbelief, and fear. Several of the heroes try to get to Crystal but are pushed back by Violet and Ribo. Eventually the situation became too stressful and the duo forcefully push everyone excluding Laki, Rocky, Scalene, and Gallade out of the medical lab. Zoroark stubbornly refuses to leave his mate but had no luck and was told to wait with the others. Laki decides to give everyone her watch and opens a holographic screen of the medical procedure so they can watch and overhear everything that the commanders say.
While the heroes watch in anxiety and fear, the six commanders do their best to clean up Crystal with everything that they have. Scalene and Rocky inspect all the wounds for any possible clues while the other four clean and bandage the blood and wounds that are already checked. Each Pokémon feels anger, fear, and grief knowing that their dearest friend is in so much pain. But the question is how did this happen? And where are the exiles?
Then Ribo decided that now would be the best time to use his telepathy on Crystal. It would go against his promise to never use his powers on her, but he needs to know exactly what happened. After bandaging a wound on her stomach, he closes his eyes and places a hand gently over her forehead. Soon his power takes him into Crystal's mind and he sees the memory flash before him. It starts when Crystal takes the exiles into the beach. Then she and Eclipso have an argument until she notices that all the exiles are frozen for some reason. She was about to call for help until Darkstar arrives and destroys her watch. The duo exchange snappy comebacks before Darkstar reveals his advantage over the exiles and uses them against Crystal. He possesses Eclipso to beat and rape Crystal and Darkstar laughs at her torture before he decides that it was enough for one night and leaves Crystal to die on the beach. The exiles follow the demon with little choice.
Ribo gasps and stumbles back into his medical chair. He trembles as he places a hand on his head before he looks at Crystal's groin. He hesitates before he looks at her womanhood and sees the damage done. He closes his eyes and groans. "Oh… S**t…."
The other commanders glance at him in confusion before Rocky mutters, "What the hell?"
The cybertronic Rhyperior reaches towards his medical tools and holds up a pair of tweezers. He carefully leans over Crystal's forehead and digs inside until he takes out a sharp mechanical piece out. The Pokémon stare in confusion while Rocky cleans the item out and stares at it.
"What the hell is that…?" Violet asks as she stares at the item. Rocky doesn't respond as he continues to stare at it. Scalene looks at it carefully. "… That is a piece of titanium steel…"
"So? What does it mean?" Violet demands impatiently.
"Darkstar said something about using titanium steel to operate his robots…" Scalene says carefully. Her eyes widen in shock. "That means a cybertronic robot must have attacked her!"
"But that doesn't make sense," Gallade shakes his head. "All the cybertronic Pokémon have been taken to the human scientists. They would have alerted us if one of them escaped. There's no way that it could have been their doing…"
Suddenly Laki's breath hitches. Her expression turns pale as she looks at the commanders. "… Crystal was with the exiles. They are cybertronic Pokémon. They are made from the same material."
"Are you saying that the exiles did this to her?" Violet demands. "Ridiculous!" She turns to Ribo. "Isn't that right, Ribo?"
Then the heroes see Ribo's position. He is leaning on his elbows with his hands in his face. His shoulders are shaking and he is breathing heavily. Violet places a hand on his shoulder. "Ribo?"
Finally Ribo looks up at the heroes with the dullest and saddest expression they have ever seen. "I've seen Crystal's memory. She was raped and tortured. Darkstar possessed Eclipso to hurt her while the other exiles watched."
Silence.
More silence.
Even more silence.
A ridiculously long silence.
Finally Laki lets out a shriek of agony and buries her face into her paws. Gallade instantly rushes to her while Violet stumbles back and shakes her head in disbelief. Scalene and Rocky begin to weep. They could hear the heroes shouting out but ignore them as they take in the painful news.
"I should have known…" Laki cries as Gallade hugs her. The warrior tries to hold back his own tears but fails. "Crystal kept saying that something about Eclipso was different. It's as if he transformed into someone else; a stranger."
"But HOW could he DO this?" Violet cries. She sounded distressed as she tries to hastily wipe her tears away. "We TRUSTED him and he HURT her! HE HURT HER!" Violet begins to punch the wall behind her as she cries out. Ribo quickly floats over to her and pulls her into a tight hug. The clone protests and beats at his chest until she surrenders to his hold and cries in his chest. Ribo begins to cry as he holds Violet's shaking form and rocks her gently.
Suddenly the door slams open and the commanders look up. They feel their hearts plummeting when they see Zoroark rushing in with a look of pure despair. He lets out a roar of agony as he takes Crystal into his arms and holds her tightly against him. He rocks her back and forth as he continues howling in grief.
-ooo-
Outside of the lab, everyone else has overheard Ribo's declaration. Their expressions range from rage to fear to pure sorrow. Lily was fighting with Raven over seeing her sister and was crying desperately about being the worst sibling in history. Several Pokémon lower their heads in remorse and begin to shed tears while some were shaking their heads in disbelief, hoping that the whole thing was a horrendous dream that would go away. Zarko expressed no reaction although he did close his eyes and lower his head with a grim frown on his snout.
The worst blow was upon Ash, Raikou, and Darkrai. The boys have never felt so afraid for their friend's life or so guilty about not knowing of what could have been prevented. Seeing Crystal in such a broken state… It would take more than emotional and physical therapy to save her. And how would the Legendaries take in the news? What would Arceus say? The boys shudder at the thought. They know for a fact that the God would not take in the thought of his daughter being ravaged by an exile he used to trust in very well. Darkrai could not believe that his younger brother would stoop so low regardless that he was forced in committing the crime.
It was too much to bear. It was the last straw for the heroes. Darkstar and the exiles have gone too far.
Crystal might or might not survive from this attack. Regardless if she does or not, the Pokémon know what they must do. They must put a stop to Darkstar's reign before he forces more evil upon innocent Pokémon.
The final war will break out soon. When, the heroes aren't quite sure. But they are certain about one thing; they will not go down without a fight. They will win the battle and avenge Crystal.
No matter the cost, they will put an end to this tyranny and bring Earth back its peace.
Finally done! So what do you think? Leave a comment please! And there's something else all of you should know; I'm thinking about ending this story by chapter forty at the most since it is getting close to the ending. But I need some advice as to what will happen next!
Also, be sure to protest against SOPA; if the bill passes, then this story will never have an ending! Fanfiction will cease to exist! Say no to SOPA!
Read and review, please!
