Keiths' P.O.V

I frowned as I looked out the window. Barlow hadn't really estimated how much time we had until we sunk, but with the panic attack he was soon to have; I'd say it wouldn't be long. Flint frowned as he looked towards the door Kate had left from….wait, I looked at my styler, she had been gone almost fifteen minutes.

I mentally worked out how long it would be to the king stone valve, add on a few minutes here and there, give or take a few…my eyes shot wide open as I ran towards the door.

"Where are you going Keith?" Barlow asked as he looked at me.

"If my calculations are correct, which I highly doubt they are, Kate should have been back over five minutes ago, something's wrong," I answered as I ran out of the room, completely ignoring the calls from Barlow, Cynthia and Flint. I didn't even wait for Buizel or Glaceon to run after me as I began running through the hallways.

"Why does it always seem like Kate's the damsel in distress?" I muttered to myself as I ran along green crates. I saw a panicked Machoke at the end of them. My eyes narrowed as I looked at the pokemon, it had been with Kate.

When it saw me its eyes filled with slight relief, but instantly refilled with worry. I picked up my running pace, ignoring the water on the crates as I tried my hardest not to slip.

I reached the Machoke; he began leading me on crates to the centre of the other room. I looked at him before looking into the water, it was pretty dark, there was some dirt in it, but I could make out a figure. I couldn't make out who it was, but they were in trouble.

I frowned as I held my breath before jumping into the water. It didn't take long to reach the bottom, heck it was pretty shallow, but it was quite hard with the pain in my shoulder to swim.

My hand grasped the persons who was under the water as I began swimming upward. I pulled the person up so I had them around the waist, I instantly recognised the thinness of the person I was holding, it was Kate.

My eyes shot wide open as I breached the surface of the water before coughing a few times. I handed Kate to the Machoke, who laid her on her back. I checked her breathing, nothing, her pulse; I panicked for a second before I felt a weak pulse. I placed my head on her chest as I heard the faintness of her heart beat.

I mentally sighed as I placed my lips on her before giving her CPR. I was lucky I knew how to do this. I carried on breathing air into Kate's lungs before I began pressing down her chest. The water rose as I did so, it was almost covering the green crates.

I pressed onto Kate's chest two more times before water came from her mouth; she began coughing as she took in a deep breath of air before looking around.

Her eyes landed on me before she smiled slightly. I looked at her with relief on my face before pulling her into a tight hug.

"Don't you ever do that again," I whispered into her ear as I hugged her. I felt the water begin to cover my knees; I pushed Kate away from me to look at the water.

"We need to get the valve back in, and quick," Kate whispered as she looked at the water, I nodded my head as we rose to our feet. I looked at the Machoke, who nodded its head. We began running again towards the valve, hopefully everything would be ok from here on out.

…

I spoke too soon, the water had completely covered the crates in the first room, the valve had also sunk to the bottom of the water. I mentally growled, Kate grabbed my hand before looking at me; the Machoke was panicking slightly but looked determined.

"We're going to have to swim; Machoke will need help putting the valve back with all this water. We have to do it now, otherwise we'll all die," Kate stated as she looked around, for someone who's just been brought back to life, she's pretty determined.

I nodded as I squeezed her hand; we looked at the Machoke before jumping into the water. Quickly we located the valve before we began pulling or pushing it back to the hole. I gritted my teeth as I tried to pull it, it was too heavy.

Kate pointed upwards; I nodded as we swam to the surface of the water. We both coughed before taking in a little more air, the water was coming in quickly, even the Machoke could see how serious this was.

"SHARPEDO!" Kate yelled as she opened her pokeball, "We need help," she stated as we swam back down. Machoke began lifting the valve, Kate and I also began lifting it, Sharpedo used a water gun to send it towards the hole. Machoke then jumped in the water before jumping down in the valve, making it go into the hole and stay there.

Kate smiled as Sharpedo help us both out to the next room. Machoke made a happy noise as he jumped onto the green crates that were covered with a foot of water. Kate coughed before she thanked Sharpedo and returned him. I sighed as I rested for a moment or two.

"So, how'd you drown?" I asked, Kate looked at me before coughing.

"The ship jerked, I was at the edge of the crates, I fell in," she answered as she stood back up. I stood with her as we began walking towards the deck. My shoulder was killing, but that was probably nothing compared to Kate's body.

We arrived back on deck without any trouble; Cynthia and Flint were at the top of the steps waiting for us. Without warning the ship suddenly jerked to the left, sending Kate and I towards the railing of the ship. Luckily Kate only hit the railing, I however, went over.

I felt a hand grasp mine as they tried to pull me back up. I looked up to see Kate; on Kate's hand were Flint and Cynthia's. Their eyes told me to hold on, but I knew I would slip.

"Don't you dare let go Keith," Kate whispered as she looked at me, I smiled slightly as I looked into her blue eyes.

"You won't be able to hold on," I replied as I looked at her, Kate's eyes filled with anger when she heard that.

"Don't let go," she ordered, this time louder, Cynthia and Flint both looked around the deck before running back into the cabin, probably to get Barlow.

"You can't hold me Kate," I shook my head as I felt my hand slip.

"Please don't let go," Kate whispered, I looked up to see her eyes fill with tears as she looked down at me. One escaped from her eye as she closed them before opening them again, the tear landed on my cheek as she did so. I smiled softly as I looked up at her.

"I'm sorry, Kate. Take care of Buizel for me," I whispered as I let go of her hand. I looked into her eyes as I fell, they filled with horror, sadness, and I think I saw betrayal in them.

I felt the force of the water take over my body as i began seeing black spots in my vision. The last thing I heard was Kate screaming my name, before something began carrying me away.

Kates' P.O.V

"KEITH! SHARPEDO GO GET HIM!" I yelled as I pulled my pokeball out, Sharpedo instantly went into the water, but I couldn't see him. I felt my heart drop as Cynthia and Flint ran out to look overboard; they both shook their heads when they couldn't see Keith.

I felt tears escaped my eyes as I began crying, Flint instantly took my into his chest as Cynthia joined in the hug, both trying to comfort me. The ship shook as we rammed into something. I looked up from Flint's chest to see we had hit land.

We all walked off the ship; Barlow was explaining to Mr Lamont and Ms April what had happened. Crawford rushed over to Cynthia, Flint and myself before hugging our two older siblings. Luana looked around as she walked up to us.

"Where is Keith?" she asked, at that I began to cry again, my head had been down, no one had been able to see my cry. Crawford instantly hugged me along with Flint and Cynthia, Barlow walked over to us in confusion, Luana looked at us in confusion as I cried.

"Keith, he's, he's gone," I mumbled as I cried, Barlow looked at me with wide eyes, as did Crawford and Luana, I could tell they were.

"What? What do you mean gone?" Barlow asked.

"When the ship jerked, Keith went over the railing, Flint and I rushed into the cabin to get a pokemon to help, but by the time we made it outside, he had fallen," Cynthia explained as her eyes began tearing up, she hadn't known Keith that long, but she was still sad about it.

Ms April gasped when she heard, while Mr Lamont lowered his head in silence, which we had all fallen into. Luana began crying as she looked at the sea, while Buizel was silent, in shock; even Glaceon had fallen silent at the news.

"We are sorry for your loss, if there's anything we can do for you, please just asking," Ms April smiled sadly as she and Mr Lamont walked back into the school. I looked at Barlow, who frowned before taking a deep breath.

"Let's head back to base, we need to tell the others," he stated as we began walking. I sniffed as I looked at the ship before walking towards it.

"Kate?" Flint asked as he looked at me, I picked up something red before holding onto it, somehow Keith's jacket had washed up on shore.

Crawford placed his hand on my shoulder as he took me form the ship, out the school and towards base.

Late that night, we all gathered in the reception of the Base. Seren and Kellyn had come from Fiore to see us. When they heard the news Seren instantly burst out in tears, and Kellyn apparently hasn't spoken since then. Rythmi was the worst, at first she laughed, trying to shake it off as a joke, but when she saw my pain stricken face, she burst out into tears, she was still crying now. Isaac at first had also thought this was one of Keith's pranks, but when he found out it wasn't, he fell into silence, like Kellyn had.

Cynthia and Flint told my parents and Remi, who were all upset; he had looked after me, even if his father was out to kill me. I sniffed as I looked up towards Barlow, who was stood in front of a large picture of Keith.

I sighed as I tapped my necklace, I can't believe I've already lost him, he's my best friend.

"We are gathered here today to say goodbye to a fabulous Ranger and friend, Keith Dazzle," Barlow began, "Keith was a friend to us all, to some of us, almost family, to other a secret crush," I blushed a little at that, was it really that obvious? "Unfortunately, we have lost Keith. For this brave soul died on a dangerous mission during a sinking cargo ship," I gritted my teeth, I would kill Dim Sun, "Now, we shall have a moment of silence for the young Ranger, who hoped to be a Top Ranger," Barlow finished as everyone fell into a silence, the only thing heard was the girl's crying, along with a few boy's wanting to tear up.

I clenched my fists as the tears came rolling out of my eyes. Ben, who had been sat next to me during the funeral, pulled my head onto his shoulder as I began to cry on him. It probably looked weird, Summer sat on the other side of him, her eyes tearing over as he held her hand, which she found comforting.

The funeral ended, but it dragged by, I felt like I was reliving it in slow motion. I slumped into my bed; I couldn't believe he was really gone. I frowned as I pulled my knees up to my chest, what about Sharpedo? I had sent him in to get Keith, was he gone too? This thought just made me cry harder.

"Maybe Keith's not dead," Glaceon stated as she sat next to me, running her head along my arms, Buizel sat in front of me as he looked at me. I looked up at both of them.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, think about it, you didn't really see his body, or Sharpedo's body, so they might still be alive. The only person to really ask is Arceus," Buizel answered, I looked at him, he was right, how could I have been so stupid as to forget about Arceus.

"You're right," I smiled as I jumped to my feet, "Maybe he's not gone, maybe Arceus knows where he is," I added as I tapped the necklace Arceus gave me, "Please Arceus, I need answers," I sighed as I felt the all too familiar feeling of being pulled through to Arceus.

"Kate, how are you?" Arcues asked as he looked at me, a smile played on his face.

"I'm not so good Arceus," I answered before looking down, I clenched my fists before gritting my teeth, "Is Keith really gone?" I asked as I looked up. I saw Arceus' face turn emotionless, which answered my question, Keith really was gone, there was nothing I could do about it.
