Pokѐmon Journey III: Jezabel's Voyage

by Halloween Witch

It was a quiet and dull moving experience for Jezebel Emery-Twin who moved from one side of the Hoenn region to another to be closer to her father and start her pokemon journey. Instead of going to her father for a first pokemon like was planned, she ended up receiving one of Professor Birch's pokemon when he's attacked. Full summery inside!

36. The Pyramid's Maze

Pokѐmon Journey III: Jezebel's Voyage

Chapter 36: The Pyramid's Maze

Rose's Point of View (A couple hours before Violet calls Jezebel):

At last… I could breathe again… I felt the last of the girl's energy slip out of her body and she collapsed to the ground, dead. Her body was pale; her entire life force was sucked out of her body one piece at a time until the withered body of the young girl was nothing more then a pile of skin stretched over bones.

With my energy back, I rose to my feet and made my way over to the entrance of our little cavern. I knew Violet was in these caves, searching them with the young girl named Levy. With the smergle here under my hypnosis, it made it easier to keep tabs on her while I recovered.

And now was the time to strike.

Razi was quick to appear through the wall with my pokemon at his side along with his own. He grinned as he saw me standing and gave me a bone crushing hug when he got close enough.

"Sis, it's so good to see you up and evil again!" He grinned and pulled back from me. "I bet you're ready to roll, right?"

Beyond. I had to use the psychic power of my pokemon in order to communicate now with my voice dead, which is why I particularly wanted to go after Jezebel first. A part of me is gone now because of her. Where can I find Jezebel?

"In the Battle Pyramid, let's get out of here before the IPHP League shows up and we'll go sneak into the pyramid and get her." Razi grinned. "Ready to kill some people Sis?"

I couldn't help but grin. Hell yeah.

Jezebel's Point of View:

Shortly after Violet had called me, we arrived over at our last challenge here at the Battle Frontier, the Battle Pyramid. Blaze and I were more then excited to face off in this place. It was a literal pyramid that had mazes on each level that you had to make your way through until you made it to the top. At the top stood Brandon Greke, the king of the pyramid.

Although once we were done with him, his pyramid will be beaten, just like we have the rest of this park.

It didn't take us long to make it up to the building that was made of large, yellowish stone. Once up there, we stepped inside the building. Upon the inside was a dimly lit area with a few trainers standing around. A larger man in an explorer outfit stood before some pillars that had round pans with fire in the center of them on top of them. A neon blue teleportation tile sat behind him that probably led up to the other levels. The walls had a blue tint to them from the tile and the darkness of the room with the flames. There was a bridge that separated the blue tile away from the main area, which the guy stood before. A large gap of so many feet was under the bridge from what I can see. It could be a few feet, or many feet. I wasn't about to find out.

We walked up to the larger man and he just about laughed when he saw us. An ear splitting grin covered his face as he quickly opened up the space to the bridge behind him.

"Welcome champion and companions! We've been eagerly awaiting your arrival here!" He allowed us through and closed the line behind him as another man took over.

"Come inside, I will explain the Battle Pyramid to you." The man led us to the section just before the blue teleportation tile before he stopped next to it. "Your journey begins as soon as you step on the platform. There are seven levels to the pyramid, each with their own teleportation pad. To proceed to the next level of the pyramid, you must find and step on the tile. Each time someone steps on the pad however, the pad will move. There is no rule to say you can't work together with friends, if you manage to find them." He paused for a moment and took a swig of water from his canteen. "The levels get smaller as you head higher up, so it's harder in the beginning when if comes to finding your way, but the trainers inside tend to be stronger the higher up you go. Also…" his face fell as he glared at the ground for a moment. I blinked at him before he took a step closer and whispered to us. "Champion Violet has left a request for you."

"I assume it has something to do with my challenge?"

"Yes." He growled to the air, but it wasn't directed at me. "Rose and her brother are apparently on the move, and we're evacuating the island. There are still trainers up in the pyramid, please defeat them and force them out to be evacuated."

"Understood. Approximately how many people are inside?"

"Twenty eight."

"Got it, can we be sent in as pairs?"

"I will bend the rules to you because of this operation. Please get those trainers out of there and if you see Rose, take her down. Brandon doesn't want her here in the pyramid, or her brother, and he's quite furious that she could be here. Brandon will meet you at the top. He's hoping that a battle will draw her out if she's nearby."

"Oh it will." I nodded to him and took Mattie's hand. "Shall we?"

"Yes, let's go." He nodded to me and I stepped onto the pad, as soon as my foot hit it, Mattie and I were gone from the area that we were at only moments ago. Casey and Aria were gone and so was the man who had explained the operation to us.

"Alright Mattie, let's go find those trainers and get them out of here."

"Coming Jezebel." We kept our hands interlocked as we began to move about the area. Stone walls were made to separate off certain areas. It was dark in here as well. Not much light was being used to show us the way. It gave a blue/black look to the stone when I'm sure it was actually a tan color.

"Ha ha! Trainers!" I blinked as I saw a set of two trainers standing before Mattie and me once we got to the end of a section. "We can finally battle!"

Both of them appeared to be male and both were more then overly confident in their abilities. Either they didn't notice who Mattie and I were, or they were just dumb.

I snorted a laugh. "Be prepared to lose then." Blaze appeared from my pokeball and Guardian appeared from Mattie's. The other two trainers threw out their pokeballs, which were a crawdaunt and a ludicolo.

"Attack!" The two trainers across from us shouted and the two pokemon rushed at us. I merely rolled my eyes and turned to Mattie.

"Do you wanna take this?"

"Sure." He glared at them and threw out his hand. "Shock wave!" Guardian glowed with a bright yellow light and suddenly lit up the area before she tossed electricity right at the two water types. They bother cried out and the voltage turned their bodies black and forced them to drop. Both trainers were shocked at the power and that they were down and out with one hit.

"Bummer, but at least that two out of all the trainers, only twenty six to go." I stretched my arms and took hold of Blaze's hand next to me, reaching out for Mattie's. "Shall we go on?"

"Yep." He grabbed Guardian's hand before taking mine as well. We watched the two trainers angrily grab their pokemon and rush to the exit where guards were waiting for them. Mattie and I moved on then with our pokemon, looking for the next set of trainers that we could get out of here.

Alexander's Point of View:

Violet finally found her; only a few moments ago did she give me the news that she found a body left behind by Rose that looked like it had been sucked of all of its life. It only made the fight to get people off of this island faster. Scott left on the boats with most of the attendants of the Battle Frontier as well as all the people who came here for entertainment and fun. The Frontier Brains were the only ones remaining behind because of their strength and to help us round up anyone who hadn't gotten out yet.

What the really hard part was to get Jezebel's family off the island. The only one I permitted to stay was her father, who was a registered gym leader and a powerful man. The rest were forced to leave while Jezebel's ninth pokemon, Courage, refused to leave without his trainer. Norman took him in while we watched the boats set out with hundreds to nearly thousands of people being carted off while this place was turned into a battlefield.

"How bad do you think this is going to be Alex?" Norman dared to ask me as we stayed at the docks, watching the boats heading out and more coming in to take the many people still here.

"This place is about to be turned into a battle zone by many changeling Norman," I sighed. "This place is going to be torn to pieces. It's going to be millions of dollars in repairs."

"How can you tell?"

"I've faced Rose before, and her brother. They're a violent pair." I ran my hand through my hair. "One of the first major fights we had with her, I was attacked and nearly died at her hand. Violet was forced to make the ultimate choice of saving me or capturing Rose. I think you can figure what she chose."

"You…"

"Yeah…"

"I'm sorry to hear that…"

I glanced at the ground. "It just… it irks me really. Sometimes I wish she would have chosen Rose all that time ago, even if I had died, then she wouldn't have to be chasing her around the world and trying to stop her destruction…"

"But then she wouldn't have you. I've watched that woman, and you're the glue that holds her together in all of this mess." Norman snorted a laugh. "Violet wouldn't be herself without you."

"I guess your right. I still just can't help feeling that way, you know?"

"I still blame myself for not noticing all the shit that happened to my wife, my family, and my daughter. I know exactly how you feel, even if it's not the same circumstance."

"I think it is, in a way." I shook my head and looked behind me to the empty island. Hardly anyone was here, not, all buildings had been evacuated other the Battle Pyramid, which Jezebel was taking care of as we speak to the stubborn trainers that just wouldn't go. They were slowly emerging from that area, one by one. Her group was taking care of it well.

"How many more people are we waiting on?" I turned my head back to Norman.

"Not many, just the workers and the remaining trainers of the Battle Pyramid. Your daughter is making work quick for them and getting them out fast. Looks like she and her friends are dominating them from how fast their flooding out now."

The numbers of the trainers seemed to increase soon and attendants were slowly showing up as well. Soon, this place would be a clean slate for the battleground of this soon to be war.

I was startled away from looking at them when I saw my girlfriend claw her way up the side of the wall of stone next to the boat. She set down Levy next to me and Norman before turning to look at me.

"How many more are left?"

"Not many Vi, almost entirely cleared out, Jezebel is cleaning the last place, the Battle Pyramid."

"Good, we'll be heading out soon to-" my girlfriend cut herself off and looked in the direction of the Battle Pyramid and she gasped before she grabbed my hand. "Get the rest of them on the boat Norman! Have Levy stay with you! Tell any of the others to meet us at the Battle Pyramid!" She didn't give the man a chance to reply as she dragged me off, racing with the speed of her charizard's wings.

"Violet! What is it?" I didn't hear her answer me, but she didn't need to. I felt it, that sickening, dead like feeling that came over my body like all the many times we've encountered Rose and her brother.

"Shit!" I hissed out. Rose was at the Battle Pyramid, she was after Jezebel…

Third Person Point of View:

At the very top of the Battle Pyramid stood a man as he watched the sun for a few blinding moments before looking at the vast land of the Battle Frontier. It had been his home for a while now, and suddenly it was to be turned into a battlefield to face one of them most murderous people in this present century.

An attendant soon came up at the exit of the top of the pyramid. He gasped for air, with his larger size and all, and hurried up to his superior. "Sir, Champion Jezebel, Matthew, Casey and Aria have removed the trainers from inside the pyramid."

"Good, now get out of here then, get to the boats."

"But sir, what about you and the other Frontier Brains?"

"We'll be staying to assist the league in any way possible. Rose Agustino is a threat to all humanity and must be stopped."

"…Will you be alright sir?"

"Casualty will not matter in this battle, just taking that woman and her brother down." The man never looked at his attendant, just kept looking out word. "Jezebel and I will set the stage for the woman, and then we shall take her down with the help of all the changeling and pokemon here. Now you get out of here, I don't want anyone else to get hurt."

"Yes… sir…" The attendant turned on his heels and retreated back the way he came, but stopped at the doorway. "Please take her down, but don't die sir."

"I won't make a promise I can't keep." The man sighed, and the two went their different ways. Brandon continued to stay atop of his pyramid and waited for the girl and her friends to show up to lure Rose out of hiding.

Things were silent again, all up to where the man turned and saw who he was waiting for.

Rosalie's Point of View:

Being silent all the time and not being able to talk actually did have its perks. Any pain I felt, any emotion I had, I couldn't let out a sound as I dealt with it. No one could hear me scream, no one would hear me cry again. I no longer had to be worried about being found. I was now a master of stealth, all thanks to the little girl that ruled this region.

But even though I'm grateful of the gift she gave me, that didn't mean I wasn't still pissed. I missed my voice, my laughter. I missed being able to talk to my brother… Talking through my mind wasn't the same. Even after only a little while, I was forgetting what my voice sounded like.

I shook my head. Focus what little is left of your mind Rose, Jezebel is waiting for you.

My brother and I were inside the Battle Pyramid as of the moment. He and I were using our ghostly powers of our pokemon to search each floor and find her. She was close, I could feel it, but I wasn't sure just how close or where. Power just isn't direct like that, and it sucks.

"Just a few more corners and we'll have finished this room Rose," my brother was quick to reply to me. We were on one of the higher up levels, almost at the top as we continued in our search for Jezebel and her friends.

She's not on this floor Razi, she's not one to hide in a corner, nor her friends. I shook my head. Let's head up to the next floor.

My brother nodded and we quickly made our way up to the floor right before the top of the pyramid. I nearly gasped out in shock, and I was glad for no voice when I saw Jezebel walk right before me toward a door that led to sun that was filtering in. I grinned as I saw her and her three little friends. Adrenaline started to pump wildly through my veins and my powers taking over…

I found you… Jezebel Emery-Twain…

Jezebel's Point of View:

We soon made it to the top, the end of the pyramid. When we stepped out into the warm sun, I noticed a man was standing there at the tip of the pyramid. He was dressed entirely in green, while his top seemed to be buttoned up with large white buttons; he had a thick black belt which attacked a bag to his side and held down his shirt, giving it a pressed look. His longer shorts were the same color while white socks covered his exposed ankles. Hiking boots were on his feet with short hair and thick eye brows to match all in color of a lighter brown were on him. His dark black eyes looked at me and my friends before he approached.

"Welcome champion and friends, though I apologize for the conditions that you had to meet me under. I wish it was not this way so we could have had a fair battle." He lightly bowed his head to me. "I'm Brandon Greke, king of this pyramid."

"Hopefully we will at a later point, but for now, we need to deal with Rose first."

"Of course. Follow me and I will lead you back into the pyramid to where the battlefield is." I nodded to him and the man led us to a secret passage he seemed to have. He pulled a flashlight out of his bag and motioned for us to follow.

I noticed that the passage seemed to move along the edges of the pyramid. It moved down at an angle that seemed to go on for a while before it led us down to another hidden door. Brandon opened it and led us to what appeared to be a dark battlefield. It was shrouded in darkness with only a couple eerie flames of blue color. My friends and I moved to one side of the field and Brandon made his way to the other box.

"Do you think it will take long to lure her out?" Mattie questioned me from behind my shoulder. I let out Blaze and sighed.

"I don't think so, after all this time, I'm sure she's after some revenge for what we've done to he-"

I cut myself off then. An eerie feeling of sickening power came over me and I could feel it as it was so close to me. Why didn't I feel it before? My eyes went wide as I felt it from below me. I looked down and an icy eye appeared through the ground.

"MOVE!" I shoved my friends back and suddenly Rose appeared with Razi at my feet. Blaze was quick to turn and me to transform before we blasted them both with a fire blast and the pyramid went up in flames.

Third Person Point of View:

Jezebel Emery-Twain had been startled by the fact that Rose had grabbed her from below, but that wasn't about to stop the girl. She merely changed her form and fired a flame attack at her with the help of her blaziken. The rest of Jezebel's team were quick to release themselves as did the other three teams of her friends.

Aria's newest pokemon, Deoxys, lifted both her and Casey into the air to keep them safe due to the fact they weren't changeling like their two other friends were. Mattie was the other human that remained as he took on the form of his delcatty. Pointed ears appeared don his head while his eyes turned black and a couple tails appeared behind him with claws and sharp teeth appearing too.

In the middle of the field, where Razi and Rose reappeared, both were in changeling forms of their own. Rose was in her classical gengar changeling form while her brother was in a new one, his persian. Rounded ears appeared on his head while a curled tail appeared on the back of him. His eyes were thin now, the pupil that is, and was red in color. He hissed out and a piece of gold appeared on the top of his head.

Razi was quick to dive in then, heading after the other feline changeling. Mattie was soon engaged in a fight with the older male and was pushed off to the side where all their pokemon and them were in a deep fight. That only left Jezebel and Rose.

Brandon had since moved away from his trainer block as to not get in the way. Deoxys easily carried him out of the way while Brandon released his three pokemon to help out. Legendary golem pokemon appeared. One made of ice, one of stone and one of steel. All three of the pokemon threw their hands onto the ground and upset the ground of the pyramid. Everyone jumped into the air as the attack on the ground seemed to crumble the walls and the area around them.

"Jezebel! Mattie! Look out!" Aria cried out helplessly from the air while her pokemon held onto her with its tentacle like arms. Deoxys took the three humans out of the building by using teleport and from the outside of the building, it could be seen that the entire Battle Pyramid came crashing down on top of all the pokemon.

"You guys alright?" Casey called out to the pile of rubble. "Jez! Matt!"

An explosion went off next and debris from the Battle Pyramid was scattered great distances as many parties appeared from in the rubble. Mattie was off to the side, still facing off with Razi and easily holding his own with the strength and determination of his feline pokemon. Mattie's pokemon then along with a few others were facing off to Razi's three. His persain hissed as it brought down its claws to some of the pokemon while the mismagius and yanmega backed it up with ghost, bug and flying type attacks.

Looking to another section, Rose and Jezebel were at it, clawing at each other and using other attacks on each other. Jezebel would blow fire while Rose would become intangible and sink through the ground. Rose was dodging as she tried to get close and lay a mark on the younger woman. Close to them was an all out brawl on Rose's pokemon by Jezebel's and some of the others that were lingering around. The genger and hypno were well at holding their own. Curse attacks held most of the pokemon at bay while Darkness was able to fire one back, a first for the duo. The two fighting types jumped in then to deliver powerful strikes which threw the pokemon for a good distance and into the set of woods then.

Things soon changed though as Rose silently screeched and barely dogged a fist. Violet had quickly joined the battle and her pokemon appeared at her side and spread out among the field. With the two changeling females together, they charged at Rose.

Violet, being the faster of the two, reached her first and was quick to swipe her claws at Rose in the form of her shiny charizard. The claws barely missed their mark as Rose pushed herself backward, but Jezebel was right behind Violet. The youngest female threw her fists together up into Rose's back and it shot her up into the air. Rose silently coughed out as she was tossed and tried to regain herself as Violet came crashing into her again, but this time, Rose was able to throw her back. Rose tossed Violet, from where she had grabbed her arms, into Jezebel and the two of them crashed into the ground.

The two males saw the display of action as they fought each other off to the side and Mattie watched as Razi grinned.

"Those two bitches are finally gonna gets what's coming at them, and so are you, now hold still you little shit!" Mattie dodged the attack as Razi lunged forward and Mattie took advantage of that and kicked him in the back as Razi flew past him.

"Rose won't win! None of us will let that happen!" Mattie snapped back at the man. Mattie was quick to change his form to that of his legendary beast. He could feel the orb sending power throughout his body and red markings soon appeared while his eyes glowed blue and a his legs vanished and turned into fins. Mattie brought upon water to the area. Razi quickly saw this and changed his form to that of his yanmega and wings sprouted from his back and his eyes covered over with red coatings to protect them and an armor covering his body as well. A tail came out of him and he flew up into the air to avoid the water. Mattie easily sunk his body in and swam around, circling around Razi's body from below. Mattie suddenly disappeared and Razi raised an eyebrow before Mattie flew out of the water and used his tail to throw Razi down into the water, sinking him in. Mattie dived back in and raced to hit Razi while he couldn't breath and the air was knocked out of him.

From above, the women were still battling. Out of the rubble came the two champions that jumped up into the air and they both changed their forms. Jezebel was quick to turn to her shiny flygon's form while Violet changed to that of her articuno. Violet rushed forward and Rose wasn't expecting that sort of speed from her, the force of Violet's body crashing into Rose's threw her back, and like a second wave, Jezebel flew in next.

But Rose was ready this time, and she threw out her arm as Jezebel came in…

And Rose stuck her arm through Jezebel's abdomen.

The world froze when this happened. Rose was grinning as she finally got an attack in on one of them while Jezebel was barely holding onto her as the blood came flying out of Jezebel's mouth and rolling down Rose's body and arm. Violet was frozen for only a moment before her face turned into pure rage and fire overcame her body.

Violet's pokemon and all those on the island could feel the rage coming off the female and it instantly threw everyone into action, sending them toward where the woman was.

Violet was about to make her move when Jezebel somehow turned Rose toward her. Rose was shocked that the younger girl still had so much energy and when she looked down to look at her, Jezebel was glaring at her with a mad look in her eyes. The whites of her eyes glowing behind the blue coatings over then. Her wings flapped heavily as Rose tried to pull away and Jezebel grabbed on with her claws, digging them into Rose's new arm and using the crevices to hold her in place. Rose cried out as it pulled on the remains of her real arms.

"Violet! Get her now!" Jezebel cried out from where she was trapped with the evil woman. "Don't worry about me! This is our only shot!" Jezebel coughed up more blood and Violet was torn between her rage and shock as she floated there with the black aura all around her, practically lifting off her like heat in the cold.

Violet cursed herself at the difficult decision she had, but she knew she had no other choice. Jezebel had accepted the possible fate of dying, and she was willing to hold Rose in place to use the attack and take her down.

Violet let the rage consume her just as others arrived at the area to watch. One look at the situation forced them all to gasp as Norman ran forward before them all.

"VIOLET! NO!" But the cry was too late. Violet had made her decision.

"BLAST BURN!" From Violet's mouth came an exploding amount of white fire. Rose watched in horror as the flames came at her and she tried to pull away. Jezebel took no chances and sunk her teeth into Rose's shoulder. The woman cried out as the fire attack overtook them both.

Seeing the explosion above, Mattie rushed to the surface of the water as Razi was floating in the water. Mattie broke the surface and with his advanced eyes, he looked through the fire to watch as his girlfriend get hit by the flames along with Rose.

"JEZEBEL!" Two bodies feel from the fire and Jezebel's form returned to normal, as did Rose's. Their bodies came crashing down into the earth and Mattie's eyes went wide. He ran from the water, his form changed back to that of his gardevior and he teleported up into the air to catch her. He didn't stumble this time, but as soon as he saw her condition, his eyes started to let loose a river of tears.

The wound in her lower abdomen was torn to shreds, it went right through. On her face, streaks of fire had left burning scars upon her left side of her face. One of them streaked right over her eye and another over her cheek bone, almost like a two fingered claw mark. Mattie set her down on the ground and was quick to change form again, taking on that of his roserade. "Roza! Help me!"

His grass pokemon quickly appeared at his side and the two of them started to heal the girl that lay dying at his hands. Mattie didn't even care if he had won the battle, all that mattered was Jezebel.

From above, Violet let loose her own tears, feeling so guilty for what she decided to do. While Mattie and many of the others that had soon arrived to the battlefield hurried over to the girl to help heal her, Violet watched the areas where there were still pokemon to beat, with both their trainers gone. Jezebel's quick decision just may have taken down Rose for good.

Rose's pokemon quickly saw what happened and it soon became relevant that the battle was over, but not won in the way Violet would like. Hypno teleported all members of both their teams and their trainers out of sight. Violet's eyes glared, but soon calmed themselves. She knew that in order to stop Rose she have to take down her pokemon next time before she could take down the woman. They were her ticket to escaping.

But Violet didn't really care about that right now. All that mattered was that Jezebel was alright. Violet flew down to the ground and landed next to the girl and instantly changed her form to start healing the girl too.

"Why did you do it?" Violet could hear the strain of the father's voice that hung over her head. She could feel the rage shaking off of him as he held himself back from punching her.

"Jezebel told me to. It was one of our only shots at getting Rose…"

"AND YOU HAD TO SACRIFICE MY DAUGHTER?!" the man roared out and Violet flinched at his tone. But she took it; she deserved it after what she did. She was guilty, she didn't want to make that kind of decision at all, but Jezebel had begged her to do it, to avenge her mother. It was one of the most important things to Jezebel, and Violet knew the girl would do anything, even giving her own life, to get back at Rose for the death of Brittany Emery-Twain.

It was one of the hardest decisions she had to make, other then when she had to choose between saving Alex all those years ago or capturing Rose.

"You stay the hell away from my daughter!" Norman pushed Violet away. He punched her in the face and everyone was stunned silent and powerless to stop him. The champion did nothing to stop him as she took his hits.

"STOP IT!" Mattie cried out as he held bloody hands over his girlfriend's body. "JEZEBEL DOESN'T WANT YOU TO FIGHT! SHE ASKED VIOLET TO DO WHAT SHE THROUGH WAS RIGHT!"

"AND THAT MEANS KILLING MY DAUGHTER?!"

"I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HER!" Violet finally spoke up as he body shook with sobs. "I didn't want too… she begged me to do it while she held Rose with her own wound! Do you think I wanted to do it?"

"Well clearly you did because my daughter is dying!" Norman threw another punch, but it never hit Violet. No, something else jumped into the way and caught his fist. Norman's eyes bulged out of his head as his daughter stood there before him, hatred in her eyes.

Everyone was shocked, but none so more then her father when the thirteen year old girl pulled his fist out of the way and threw her's into his face, tossing him back and onto the ground. Just as quickly as she had stood, she fell. Jezebel strained for air as she tried to remain at least half way up, but it took the added help of Mattie (who rushed over to her) to keep her sitting upwards.

"Don't touch her…" Jezebel breathed out. Her words were icy to the ears and made everyone shiver. "I told her to do it… don't put this on her."

"Jez…" Her father quickly got back up, his daughter had socked him good, blood was trailing out of his nose as he watched her strain, using only determination and her own stubbornness to keep her going. Jez slowly rose to her feet and stood before her father, a pained smile on her face.

"It's my fault… I told her to do it…" Jezebel gasped out. "Don't blame Vi… I wanted… to avenge Mom… and our family…" She smiled up at him. "And I will…"

Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and both males that loved her unconditionally had to race to stop her decent.

"Jezebel!" her father gasped as he held his little girl in his arms. He cried a bit before he looked up at the champion he'd hit. "I'm sorry… please help my daughter…"

Violet only nodded before helping him again, she refused to touch the fist mark on her own face, or let Alex touch it when he came close.

It wasn't long before Jezebel was healed enough to remove from the sight and take to a hospital. She was carefully transported to Evergrand City for recovery where her friends and family waited for her to wake.

HalloweenWitchHalloweenWitch

Far off, on a cruise ship did the five pokemon of Rose and Razi decide to hide away their trainers. Within a large cargo hold, Rose's pokemon easily slipped food from the rest of the ship to bring down for their trainers while Razi's pokemon kept an eye on them. None of them were able to heal others, not without sucking the life out of someone, but that was too dangerous. They couldn't do it while they were so wounded. Only two people of the IPHP League faced them. It would be suicide to do so. The rest of them were all more then prepared for battle.

It was in that moment that one of the two of them rose. Razi coughed heavily and sat up from where he was laid out. His pokemon watched as he sat up and he looked around, not recognizing where all of them were.

"Shit…" He hissed out as he looked around. His eyes suddenly fell on Rose and he gasped. "Sis!"

He dived for her then, checking the pulse and was shocked to see it holding so well. She was still knocked out of it and her body was entirely covered in burns on her backside, which was facing upward. He saw her breathing move the cracked pieces of skin holding on by a thread. The slightest movement would cause the skin to break and her to bleed out.

"Damn…" he groaned as he assessed the damaged. "She won't be moving for a while… Wait, where are we anyway?"

"Miss…" His pokemon slowly approached him and used her abilities to update her trainer on what had taken place. Razi slowly nodded his head and looked out the small window next to them.

"So that's what happened. I got beaten by a kid… and a weak one at that…" He smacked his head and sighed. "Any idea where we're going? Looks like we have to start all over again."

"Meow…" his persain said.

"Sinnoh huh?" Razi questioned with a smirk. "I think Rose will like that. She put a spell on someone all that time ago when we were doing research on legendary beasts… I guest its time to pay him a visit and up the crime there."

"Gen…" Gengar hovered closely to Rose, worried that any humans would come here.

"Just hypnotize them Gengar, we won't let them get to her. We'll heal when we get to Sinnoh." The ghost pokemon only nodded as she worriedly looked down at her trainer.

The pokemon looked like she wanted to kill for her trainer…

Violet's Point of View:

It was a few days after the battle and Jezebel was slowly recovering in the hospital in Evergrand City. Her friends and family visited her daily as she healed and it wouldn't be long before she would be back on her feet.

For the bravery she showed during the battle, Brandon wanted to give his symbol to her without a fight. It was more then fair, but I told him to hold off on that. He could give it to her later, after my final test of power.

I sat over on a bench at the bottom of the hospital and sighed. It wouldn't be long now.

"Vi? What are you doing out here?" I turned my head to see my boyfriend and eldest younger sister champion. Alex had his arms crossed when he saw me before taking the seat next to me. Gwyn looked at me worriedly before she sat down on the other side of me.

"Nothing… just… preparing myself mentally for what's to come next."

"What do you mean by that?" Gwyn questioned. "Rose is gone, but she's in no condition to fight, neither is Razi…"

"You going fight her, aren't you?" Alex could read my mind before I could utter a word. I grinned at him before I stood. I gave him a light peck to the lips.

"Looks like it." I called out Amethyst and she prepared herself for me to sit atop of. "Tell Jezebel that I'll be waiting for her at the top of Meteor Falls, where she trained all those months ago. Its time I end this chase she's been on and give her an ending and a new beginning."

I hopped onto Amethyst after that and had her race to the mountains while the others were forced to wait behind. I smiled to myself. I was more then excited to finally face this powerful opponent.

Witch's Note:

OH MY GOD! CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS LATER CHAPTER?! I CAN'T AND I WROTE IT! Man… but I liked it a lot! I've been waiting to get to this point for forever! I'm so happy to finally get to this point and look back on it.

But this is the first time I've majorly hurt one of the main characters. What did you think of all that drama? Or what Jezebel did? I can't believe I made her sock her father… But it was fun!

Now we move onto the last part of the book! JEZEBEL AND VIOLET BATTLE! Oh I can't wait to get started. In fact, I better run so I can do that!

So I'll see you all next week! Love you all and send in Reviews and Questions since you ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK LEFT! After I post the last chapter, you have until midnight on the day I post the questions to get them in. If you don't get them in, I'm sorry, but they won't be accepted!

See ya!
