What Am I?

by Angelicdemonichybrid

Jen has always wanted to be a Pokemon trainer, but her mother has forbidden her from choosing a Pokemon for unknown reasons. This is not the same for her older sister, who like countless other children, left home with her Pokemon at age 10. Jen is now 18 and anxious to explore the world, but what she may discover just might make her question what she really is.

35. More Explosions and Surprises

"Team Rocket is firing at us. Am I right?" Jen growled icily.
"Damn." Kenji muttered.
"How did they know where we were?" Jen asked just as bitterly, turning her head towards Kenji. "Did they follow you?"
Kenji shook his head. "Not possible."
Another light ignited in the distance, but it was much closer and faster than the last time. Jen was ready to project a force field around the Ferris Wheel, but to her dismay, the light split into ten different lights, and they were all headed in ten different directions.
"Oh no. Mew, Mewtwo, help me, please! Red, get your Pokemon and mine and get out of here!" She cried as she tried to mentally throw the blasts off course. Unfortunately, she was panicking too much to concentrate.
The fiery blasts neared their targets.
"NO!"
Red and his Pokemon, along with her own Pokemon, shot out of the lower baskets and rushed at some of the lights. Both Charizard and Vulpix lashed out at the blasts with flamethrowers, while Pikachu zapped a missile out of the sky with a thunder shock. Haunter flew at another missiles and launched two shadow balls at it, but there were still a handful of missiles headed towards a couple rides.
Jen forced herself to focus on one of the missiles that was headed for the roller coaster she rode earlier and willed it to fall apart. The missile exploded in the air just as Jen had willed it.
She looked for the others that were nearing their targets and saw them explode into flames as they slammed into a purple and pink force field. Jen sighed with relief. "Thank you."
She slowly looked back up in time to see one last fiery blast flying right at the Ferris Wheel.
She felt Kenji grab her by the waist and jump towards the other side of the basket. Using himself as a shield, Kenji landed on top of Jen as the missile crashed into the ride. The Ferris Wheel exploded into flames as the basket containing Jen and Kenji fell. They spun in the air for a moment before painfully landing on the ground.

Red watched as the last missile crashed into the Ferris Wheel and silently gasped.
"Charizard! Hurry! We need to find Jen before the ride collapses." Red signed.
Charizard obeyed and flew at top speed towards the burning ride. Haunter sped on ahead, but neither Haunter nor Charizard could reach the ride before it started to fall apart.
"No! Master!" Haunter shrieked.
"Jen!" Vulpix cried.

Kenji slowly crawled to his feet and looked around the basket. The basket was in flames and he could barely see anything inside or outside, but that didn't concern him at the moment.
"Jen? Are you alright?" He coughed. Smoke was filling his lungs. "Jen?!"
He searched the dark, smoke-filled basket for her, and found her crumpled up near the back. She was out cold and her head was bleeding.
"No, no, no! Jen, please be alright!" He begged as he crawled over to her and checked her pulse. It was faint, but who knew how much longer she had.
Kenji lifted her up into his arms and crawled over to one of the windows. He kicked at the glass with all his might, and the glass shattered, but a couple metal bars from the Ferris Wheel had fallen in their way.
"Damn it." He growled.
A low groan sounded from above them, causing Kenji to look up through the windows. The whole entire Ferris Wheel was starting to collapse.
Kenji turned back to the broken window. He could see a way to safety through the flames. The only thing that was keeping them from reaching it were the bars.
Just when all hope seemed lost, the metal bars were flung out of the way by a purple glow, and the flames seemed to part before Kenji and Jen. Without hesitating, Kenji, with Jen still in his arms, bolted out of the basket and out of the smoke and flames. The fresh air hit him like a wall, but he didn't stop running until his legs gave out from under him.
Some paramedics rushed over to him, and tried to pry Jen away from him, but he only clung to her tighter. "Don't." He growled.
"It's okay, son. We're here to help." They said as they tried to reassure him.
Kenji still wouldn't let her go.
A hand grabbed him lightly on the shoulder, and Kenji glanced over his shoulder. "Red?"
He felt Jen stirring, but found that it was only Vulpix nuzzling her arm. The fox Pokemon must have been trying to wake her up. Jen's Rattata and Haunter, on the other hand, looked on in worry.
"She's going to be alright, son. We just need to give her an I.V. and an oxygen mask. It might even help her wake up sooner."
Red nudged Kenji's shoulder and nodded.
He sighed and reluctantly allowed the paramedics to take Jen to one of their ambulance. They laid her on a gurney and placed an oxygen mask over her mouth. Some of them turned to Kenji and handed him an oxygen mask as well.
He placed it over his mouth and breathed in deeply. The fresh air from the mask forced him to cough violently as his body began to expel the smoke that clouded his lungs. "Gawh!" He groaned.
"Keep on using that. I know it's uncomfortable, but you want to get as much of the smoke out of your lungs as you can." One of the paramedics said.
Kenji placed the mask back over his mouth and looked over at Jen. She was breathing, which was good, but she didn't look like she was going to wake up anytime soon.
A couple paramedics got in his way and examined Jen. "I see some blunt force trauma to the head. Major concussion. She'll need to be taken to the emergency room immediately."
Red and Kenji flinched when they heard the paramedics say this.
"Are you two related to this girl?" The paramedics asked.
Both boys nodded.
"Alright. Get in and we'll take you too."
Red summoned his Pokemon back into their Pokeballs, while Jen's Pokemon hopped in the ambulance beside Jen. The paramedics shut the back doors and drove off with the teens towards the hospital.

Two hours later
Red, Kenji, and Jen's Pokemon were waiting outside of Jen's room when Libby arrived at the hospital with her Pokemon.
"Where's Jen? Is she alright? Who hurt her? I'm gonna kill them!" She shrieked.
"They said that she was okay, Libby. She is resting right now. We just need to give her some time to wake up. Okay?" Red said as he tried to calm her down.
Libby looked at him with a stony gaze and took in a deep breath to calm herself, but there was still anger in her eyes. "I still want the heads of those who hurt my little sister."
"I know. I do too, and they will pay for what they did to her, but not now." Red signed. He then gestured to a seat next to him. "All we can do now is wait."
Libby sat down next to him, but she was not still. Who could blame her for being fidgety? She tapped her fingers on the seat and looked around the hallway. Her gaze eventually landed on Kenji, who was staring at the ground. "Who is he?" She signed to Red.
"That's Kenji. Jen's boyfriend."
Libby did a double take of Kenji. "He's cute. Is he Jen's teacher too? I think I talked to him earlier."
Red shook his head. "Her teacher is elsewhere."
"So he's available?"
Red stiffened in his seat. "Libby? Oh, God. If only you knew…"
"I'll take that as a no." Libby signed.
One of the doctors walked out of the room and turned to the group. "Jen is awake and she is doing fine. She remembers everything and there doesn't seem to be any sign of mental damage. If you want to talk to her, then go on in, but she may be still be high on the anesthetics we gave her earlier."
The group stood and walked into the room to find Jen sitting up in her bed. She turned and smiled at them. "Morning." She chirped.
Her Pokemon ran to her side and laid next to her.
"Mah buddies!" She cried as she hugged each of them.
"Morning? That's all you can say?" Libby cried. "Jen, you almost died last night! You need to say more than just morning."
Jen frowned and cocked her head to the side. "Whatcha talk'n bout?"
"Jen, you drugged weirdo, you could at least try say, 'sorry, Libby, for nearly giving you a freaking heart attack?' I wake up thinking that you and Red are sleeping, and then I get a call from the hospital saying that you were nearly killed last night while riding the Ferris Wheel. What the Hell happened?"
"I donno. We were on the ride and then…Team Rocket showed up." Jen groaned.
Libby frowned at her. "Why is Team Rocket after you? Wait…are they still mad at you for stealing their uniform?"
"They gave me that uniform! Ask Rattata. He was with me." Jen cried dopily.
"We should probably give her some more time to recover, Libby." Red signed as he watched Jen's gaze move towards the ceiling.
"Hey, Jen." Libby said, drawing Jen's attention back towards her. "We'll talk later."
Jen nodded woozily.
The group began to leave, but stopped when Jen called out to them.
"I…want to talk to…Kenji."
Red and Libby looked at Kenji and shrugged.
"We'll be back later, kay?" Libby stated as she, Red, and Jen's Pokemon left the room.
Kenji walked over to the side of Jen's bed and sat down in one of the chairs. "How are you feeling?"
"We're not doone talking doode."
Kenji chuckled at her slurred speech.
"Quit it!" She whined.
"Sorry. What did you want to talk to me about?"
Jen leaned towards him. "We fell. How…how did we get out? We were riding the ride…and then…what did you do?"
"What?" He asked with a slight snicker.
"Stahp! H-How did we…how are we alive?"
"I carried you out of the fire."
"Yoo're so brave." She cooed. "Yoo were also going to tell me soomthing else. What was it?"
Kenji shifted in his seat uneasily. "I want to tell you, but I don't know how you'll react while you're in the condition you're in now."
Jen smiled at him and leaned even closer. "Promise to tell me later then?"
"I promise."
Jen grinned at him. "I'm tired."
"Then lay back down." Kenji smirked.
"Okaie!" She giggled, but instead of lying back down, she fell off of her bed.
Kenji dove out of his seat and caught Jen before she could hit the ground. "You should be more careful, Jen." He said picking her up bridal style.
She didn't seem to be paying attention to what he was saying. "You…have beautiful eyes. They're a strange color…I like them."
Kenji smirked.
"When can we leave?" Jen asked sluggishly. She was starting to fall asleep again.
"We can leave once the doctors give you permission to leave."
"B-But…I'm feeling…better." She said as she rested her head on his chest. "Don't…leave, please?"
Kenji smiled and kissed her forehead. "I'll stay."
"I…I don't want to leave…you."
"You don't have to, Jen."
She looked back up at him and sighed. "I…wish I could-"
Kenji sat down on the bed with Jen still in his arms and lifted her face up to his. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her. "We'll talk some more when you wake up."
Jen barely nodded as she fell asleep in his arms.
Kenji smiled down at her and laid Jen down on the mattress, but froze when he noticed something move away from the window. Something or someone had been watching them.

Later on the roof of the hospital
"Alright, Mewtwo, spill it!" Mew half ordered, half giggled.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said bluntly as he sat down near the middle of the roof.
"Quit lying!" Mew pouted. "You like Jen!"
Mewtwo didn't respond.
"Wait until Arceus and the others hear about this. I wonder how they'll react." Mew grinned slyly. "Arceus is waiting on us to tell him how Jen's training is going by the way."
"Then we'll tell him that her training is going well, and that we are all doing fine."
"Correction! I will tell him about her training. You will tell her how you feel about her."
"Mew-"
"If you don't tell her sooner or later, she'll completely fall for Kenji, that is if she hasn't already, and then she will never know the truth!"
"I understand that, Mew." Mewtwo growled.
"Then tell her!"
"I will."
"When?"
"The fact of when does not concern you, Mew."
Mew scowled and thought for a moment. "How about-"
"No."
"Just listen!" Mew hissed. "I'll give you two days to tell her, but if you don't tell her…I'll tell her!"
Mewtwo glared at her. "That's not even funny, Mew."
"I'm not laughing. I'm being serious. You have two days starting…now."
"Why are you doing this?"
Mew folded her paws across her chest. "I'm only looking out for you. Now start thinking about how you're gonna tell her."
"You think I haven't been thinking about that for awhile now?"

Later that day
Jen was finally allowed out of the hospital once she had woken up, but she had to be escorted out by Libby.
"Alright, Jen, we've got to talk." Libby said as she dragged her sister along the sidewalk with her. "Why did you skip all the other regions and come to Unova? And why is Team Rocket after you and Red? And did you finally give mom the slip? Is that why you came to Unova?"
Jen felt like her head was spinning once Libby had finished asking her questions. "I left Kanto so mom would stop following me, and so I could find my friends. Team Rocket is only after me because they want my Pokemon and because I managed to piss off some of the grunts who are now after my head."
"Congratulations you idjit. Only a skilled trainer could do that."
"When I first ran into them I didn't know that it would become a habit to run into them during every other city I entered."
"I was wrong. Only you could manage to piss off a couple of Rocket grunts enough to have them go on a frigg'n bloodlust hunt for your head."
Jen snickered. "Thanks."
"Now onto the matter of you having a boyfriend…"
Jen stopped dead in her tracks.
"Red told me all about you and Kenji. I think you two make such a cute couple." She said as she took out her phone.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm curious to see what his name means. Duh!"
Jen rolled her eyes. Libby had never really gotten through the phase of finding out with people's names meant. "Libby, really?" She giggled.
Libby stared at her screen and frowned. "Oh. Okay." She then put her phone away and proceeded to lead Jen back to her apartment.
"What did his name mean?"
"Eh, nothing." Libby shrugged.
"Oh, come on, Libby. Please tell me?" Jen asked.
Her sister shook her head. "If you want to know what your boyfriend's name means, then look it up yourself."
Jen frowned at Libby. "Please tell me!"
Libby looked at Jen slyly. "How about you tell me more about your teacher. Did you leave him somewhere back in Kanto?"
"No, he came with Red and me to Unova."
"And where is he? Why are you with Kenji and not with him? How did you meet Kenji again?"
"We met at the Hero Ball in Rota and he followed us to Unova."
"Followed you? Aww! He loves you enough that he followed you across regions. You did tell him where you were going, right?"
Jen began to slow her pace. "I didn't tell him. I was following Team Rocket to their base in Unova to retrieve Vulpix and Haunter after they were kidnapped. How…he didn't tell me how he knew about the base."
"Lucky guess?"
Jen was completely stopped now. "He promised that he was not apart of Team Rocket, but how did he know about the base? And how could Team Rocket have found us as quickly as they did?" Her head began to hurt again, but her main focus was returning to the apartment and warning the others.
"Jen? Hey, wait! Slow down!"
Jen ignored her sister. She walked faster and faster until she was practically sprinting. "Red, where is Kenji?"
"You sound slightly out of breath. You're not running are you?" He asked. "You could hurt yourself even more."
"Answer the question, Red. Where is Kenji?"
"He's here at the apartment. He said that he wanted to tell you something, but won't say anything else." There was a moment of pause. "Should I be worried?"
"He never did tell me how he knew where the Team Rocket base was or how he snuck inside. I had some difficulty finding it even with my future sight."
"I'll keep an eye on him until you and Libby get back."
"Thanks."
"Jen, stop!" Libby cried.
Jen glanced over her shoulder at her sister, only to see that she was still a couple yards back. "I'll meet up with you back at the apartment!"
"Jen! Ugh!" Libby groaned. She couldn't keep up with her younger sister. "I wonder what's wrong? She was fine a while ago. Why must everyone in this family be so strange?"
"Excuse me, miss, but was that your sister who just ran off down the street?"
Libby turned to see a sandy haired boy standing next to her with an Exploud by his side. "Um, yeah. That was Jen. Why do you ask?"

Jen threw open the door to Libby's apartment and stormed inside to find Red and Kenji waiting for her.
"Don't worry, master. We've kept a close eye on him." Haunter said in a soft voice.
"Thank you, Haunter." She said as politely as she could, but it was a bit hard to use a kind tone when she was so mad. "I want you, Vulpix, and Rattata to stay on your toes. I don't want to lose you guys again to Team Rocket."
Her Pokemon nodded and followed her into the living area of the apartment. Both Kenji and Red sat on opposite sides of the area in silence.
"He hasn't said anything, and both of the Mews are silent." Red reported.
Jen nodded and stomped over to Kenji.
The boy looked up at her and smiled. "Hello, Jen." He said softly.
"You had better tell me the truth right now, Kenji. How did you know where the base was and how did you get in without drawing any suspicion?"
He looked confused at first, but his expression slowly turned into a slight grin. "I didn't know where it was."
"And I suppose you just magically teleported into the base?"
Kenji shook his head and stood up from his seat. "Just let me tell you, Jen."
The whole room went silent as everyone waited for him to explain.
"Alone?"
Everyone seemed to flinch and raised their guard at the sound of the word.
"That's not going to happen!" Haunter growled.
"Like we're going to trust you." Vulpix spit.
"You are not going to be alone with her ever again." Red signed bitterly.
"It will only be for a moment." Kenji said sincerely. "And you know, Jen, that I would never want to harm you. You can trust me."
"How can I if you're hiding things from me?"
He sighed.
Just then Libby came bursting through the door, and fell unconscious onto the ground.
"Libby!" Jen cried as she tried to run to her sister's side, but Haunter, Vulpix, and Rattata stood in her way.
"Don't worry, Becca, or should I say Jen? Your sister will be alright." Sal snickered as he entered the apartment. "What a quaint little hideout you chose."
Jen and Red glared at him.
"You know, it wasn't easy for my partner and I to find you guys, but with a few phone calls and a little bit of hacking and what-not, we managed to track you guys here. Did you like our little fire show last night? I'm sure all of Nimbasa did."
Jen glowered at Kenji. "You can never trust love can you? In the end, you'll always end up with a broken heart."
Kenji looked at her with hurt in his eyes.
"You have ten seconds to get your ass and your damn partner out of here, or I swear I will kill both of you without batting an eye." Jen hissed darkly.
"Ooh, I'm so scared. What are you going to do, Jen? My partner and I aren't scared to die. In fact, we've both got this place loaded with all sorts of fun toys that can make this whole place go boom." He sneered. "So I suggest you all do as I say, or this whole entire building, and possibly block, is going up in flames."
"You sick, twisted-" Vulpix growled as she tried to bite Sal's foot, but his Exploud roared in her face. The roar caused Vulpix to slide backwards a little.
"Now be a good little girl and mute boy, and tell us where the Mews are hiding."
Red and Jen glanced at each other and nodded.
"I warned you." She growled before mentally throwing Sal and his Pokemon out of the room. Or…that was what she wanted to do. Someone was blocking her.
"Jen, not now. Find a way to get outside with your Pokemon and cousin. Mew will lead you away from here." Mewtwo ordered.
"And what about you?"
"Don't worry about me."
"I'm waiting." Sal muttered impatiently. "How about we go for a little walk on the roof. You don't seem to believe me about the danger you are putting not only yourselves, but the rest of the residence here in." He then proceeded to take out a gun and point it at Red and Jen. Not a stun gun like the other grunts had, but a real gun. "Now, up we go."
Sal and Exploud led the group up onto the roof to get a slightly better view of the city. Jen and Red looked around to try and find how Sal was planning on destroying the building.
"Having a little bit of difficulty locating our bombs?" Sal cackled. "You won't have to worry about any of them if you just tell me where to find the Mews."
Jen and Red glared at him. Red flicked him off and cussed him out in sign.
"Well that wasn't very nice." Sal muttered. He pointed his gun at Red and smirked. "You're quite eager to die aren't you?"
Jen stepped in front of Red, using herself as a shield. Kenji flinched and moved to pull her away, but Sal turned the gun on him and fired a shot that wiped past Kenji's head.
"Back off, bub." He turned his attention back towards Jen. "It would be a shame to put a bullet through a beautiful head like yours, Jen."
Jen scowled at him.
"We never did finish our dance."
"I'm not dancing with you, you filthy prick." Jen spit.
Sal put a hand over his heart and pretended to look hurt. "That hurt, love. Exploud, grab her Pokemon!"
Exploud obeyed and snatched up Vulpix and Rattata in its large hands before Jen or any of the others could react. It moved over to the edge of the building and held them out.
"No!" Jen screamed as she and Haunter tried to run for Exploud.
Sal pointed his gun at her head. "I wouldn't do that, love. Now, give me what I want."
"The Mews' location? Sorry." She spit. "I don't know where they are."
Sal cackled. "Oh, no. Not that. Not from you, darling." He lowered his gun and pulled her into a very close hug and kissed her.
Jen bit his tongue and lip until she felt blood in her mouth, and shoved him backwards as hard as she could.
"Feisty little bitch. That's going to cost you a Pokemon." Sal growled as he wiped his bleeding lip.
"That was disgusting. Can I please hurt him more?" Jen asked Mewtwo. "Please?!"
There was no answer, but she could feel some sort of dark and horrifying emotion coming from him. It scared her.
Kenji came up from behind her and sucker punched Sal in the mouth with such anger and brutal strength that it caused Sal to collapse onto the ground. Something on Sal clicked and the ground began to rumble.
Jen and Red stared at each other worriedly.
The whole entire building began to shake as the bombs began to go off inside the building. Windows shattered and flames began to dance from the openings. Exploud dropped Jen's Pokemon and grabbed Sal before jumping off the building, and making a run for it.
"Not good. Mew, Mewtwo, where are you guys? We're going to need your help getting residence out of the building." Jen yelped. Her thoughts went to all the people trapped within the apartment building, and then to her sister who was still probably unconscious in her apartment. "Oh no, Libby!"
"We can go get them." Red said as he summoned his Pokemon. "Let's hurry before it gets any worse."
Jen nodded and proceed towards the stairs, but was stopped by Kenji. "Jen…"
"I have to get my sister, Kenji. And who knows how many more people are in danger or who could be hurt. We have to help them." Jen said sternly.
"I know." He said. He lifted her chin up and kissed her one last time on the lips. "Find your sister and get out of here. I'll help get as many as I can."
Jen nodded and disappeared with her Pokemon down the stairs to find Libby.

Red started on the upper floor (floor fourteen), while Kenji started on one of the lower floors (floor five). Jen on the other hand started on the eight floor to look for her sister. The lower she went, the smokier the rooms became, and the more debris were blocking her way. There were also some residence in the hallway, trying to run past her, but the wreckage too trapped them.
"Master?"
"Haunter, use shadow ball, but be careful. We don't want to bring this place down, got it?"
Haunter nodded and tossed a few shadow balls at the debris.
The residence watched on in awe as their path suddenly became cleared, but their moment of hesitation only lasted a second as they pushed forward towards the stairs. They were all eager to get to safety.
"Libby?!" Jen cried.
Her sister didn't answer her.
"Libby?"
She could hear her sister's thoughts stirring.
"Libby, I'm coming for you, but you have to wake up and get to the hallway." Jen said as she tried to push her way towards Libby's apartment.
"Jen? Where are you? How can I hear you?"
Jen chuckled. "I'll have to tell you later." She then turned towards her Pokemon and then at the remaining residence who were running for the stairs.
"Oh, no, master, we are not leaving you. We are sticking together." Haunter said before Jen could say anything.
"Yeah, you might need help getting your sister." Vulpix said.
Jen shook her head. "You three need to see that these residence make it out alright. They may run into more debris that they can move, and you will need to be there to help them. Once I get Libby, I promise, I will be right behind you guys."
Her Pokemon looked at her. "Promise?"
"I promise."
They looked at each other and reluctantly ran after the fleeing group of people. Jen sighed as she watched them leave. "I know I'll see them again…I just want to make sure they get out first."
She tore her gaze away from them and ran down the hall. She quickly spotted her sister's home and tried the knob, but found it to be broken. Again, using her telekinesis, Jen threw open the door and ran inside to find Libby trying to push a heavy pipe that had fallen from the ceiling off of her, but the pipe had both of her legs pinned to the ground. Her home was a disaster area just like the hallway.
"Libby!" Jen cried as she rushed to her sister's side.
"Jen, please see if you can get this off of me. If not, then you must leave me and get out of here before the rest of the building falls."
Jen grabbed the pipe and lifted it off of Libby. It wasn't easy and the pipe was nowhere near light. She groaned as Libby crawled out from under the pipe, and let the piece of heavy metal crash to the ground once Libby was in the clear.
"Thanks, Jen." Libby sighed. She let out a choked cough as more smoke began to fill the room.
"Come on, Lib. We've got to get out of here." Jen said as she tried to help Libby to her feet, but Libby gasped in pain and fell to the ground.
"My legs hurt, Jen. I think they're broken or something. I'm sorry." She sobbed. She looked like she was in a lot of pain. "Leave me and go get some help."
"No, no. It's alright, Libby." Jen said as she lifted Libby onto her back. "We'll both get out of here together."
Libby smiled slightly. "Thank you, Jen."
Jen moved uneasily towards the living room, and grimaced. They were so close to an exit, but her sight was starting to blur as her eyes stung from the smoke and instantly began to fill with tears. "Dang it." She growled as she rubbed her eyes, and blindly made her way to the balcony.
"Jen, watch out!" Libby shrieked.
Jen stopped just as the floor cracked under her feet. "Where the heck did they put all of these bombs? Libby, I suggest you move into a more stable apartment next time or just buy a damn house!"
"Be careful where you walk, Jen. The whole entire floor could give at any minute." Libby said.
"No, duh, Libby." Jen said weakly. Her legs were starting to get wobbly and her vision was all, but completely dulled. "I…can't…"
"Jen!" Libby cried as Jen fell forward.
They both collapsed onto the ground and fell halfway through the floor. Libby, who was the only conscious one of the two, looked down through the hole and saw that the next two floors were just about gone. If she didn't pull herself and Jen back out through the hole, they would both fall to their deaths and be devoured by the flames that were already consuming the building.
"Jen, you moron, get up! Please!" Libby begged as she dragged Jen onto what she hopped was more stable flooring, but that too quickly gave way. Libby clung to Jen's waist as her younger sister danged above the hole. "Damn it, Jen! Wake up!"
Jen continued to dangle over the hole as Libby's grip on her began to loosen.
"No, Jen…Someone please help us!" Libby screamed. "My sister is about to fall!"
She heard something growing closer, but she didn't dare to check to see what it could be. She tried to fix her grip on Jen, but her attempt was in vain, and Jen fell.
"No! JEN!" She shrieked as she watched her sister fall.
Just before Jen hit the ground, Kenji, who appeared seemingly out of nowhere, slid under her and caught her. He looked up at Libby, who sighed with relief.
"That was a close one." He said. "Everyone, but the three of us are out of the building."
Libby nodded. "I may need help getting out. I think the pipe broke my leg…or both of them."
"Alright. Just hold tight for a moment. Red should be coming."
Just as he spoke these words, Red and his Charizard burst through her glass door and landed a few feet away from her. He jumped off Charizard and helped her onto the dragon-like Pokemon. (I know Charizard is not a dragon type.)
"Let's get the hell out of here, Red." Libby sighed as Red patted Charizard on the side of the neck.
Charizard ran towards the balcony and leapt into the air. Libby looked over her shoulder to see Kenji carrying Jen out of the apartment complex via a firefighter's ladder. They were then both led away from the building, and towards a large group of soot covered residence, but Kenji carried Jen through the group and towards another street that was clear of the chaos.
"Red, please land somewhere near Jen. I want to make sure that she is alright."
Red nodded and tapped Charizard again. His Pokemon obeyed and landed next to Jen and Kenji. Vulpix, Haunter, and Rattata rushed over to Jen's side as Charizard landed in front of Kenji.
"Is she alright?" Libby asked from Charizard's back. "Please tell me that she's okay."
"Would you believe me if I told you that she has been through much worse recently?" Libby was about to say something, but Red continued. "I'm not talking about last night. She's gone through a lot during these past few weeks."
Libby looked at him confused. "What do you mean by that?"
Jen slowly began to stir.
"Jen/Master/Trainer!" Her Pokemon cried happily.
Jen squinted at them and smiled. "Did everyone get out?" She asked.
"Yes, you are Libby were the last two left in the building. Red, Kenji, and the Mews helped get the others out of the building." Vulpix answered.
Jen slowly looked around and rubbed her stinging eyes.
"Do you think you can stand?" Kenji asked.
Jen looked at him with red eyes and nodded.
Kenji let her down, but her balance was a bit unstable, and she collapsed to the ground.
"This is just not our week, huh?" Vulpix teased.
Jen giggled. "No, it's not." She said to her Pokemon and Red. She then looked around and squinted again. "Where are the Mews? My eyes still hurt, and I can barely see a thing."
"They were helping us get everyone out, but they stayed hidden. I'm sure they're around somewhere." Haunter said.
Jen tried to climb to her feet, but had to be helped up by Kenji.
"We should probably go get some help for you, Jen." Libby suggested.
Jen shook her head. "I'll be fine, sis. You, on the other hand, need to get your legs looked at, especially if they are both broken."
"I'll take her over to one of the paramedics." Red signed and mentally said. "Just stay here with your Pokemon and Kenji."
Jen nodded as she tried to stand on her own, but it was no use. Her legs were still weak.
"Don't worry, Jen." Kenji said as Red led his Charizard and Libby away. "I won't let you fall."
"I'm sorry I didn't trust you…" Jen said slowly.
"Jen, I have not told you everything yet. You deserve the truth, but…I want to be sure of one thing."
Jen looked at him curiously with blurred eyes.
"Do you still love me?"
Jen blinked.
"We should probably give them some space or something." Haunter said as he picked Vulpix and Rattata up and drifted a little ways down the street.
"I do." Jen replied. "I do love you."
Even though she couldn't see his face very well, she could tell that he was smiling. He closed his eyes, leaned his face forward and kissed her. Jen smiled softly and kissed him back.
"I love you, Jen." He said before kissing her again.
"Alright, Jen. Libby is with the paramedics, and I already told her that we were heading out so…Oh. My. God. Jen?! WHATJAFOISJEWINJ?!"
Jen pulled away from Kenji and looked at her spasmodic cousin. Her vision had recovered enough for her to see the utter shock on his face. Her Pokemon share the same expression on their faces.
Jen felt Kenji's arms drop from her waist. "What's wrong with you guys?" She asked crossing her arms across her chest.
Haunter lifted a floating hand and pointed at Kenji.
Jen frowned and looked over at Kenji, only to see that he was gone. In his place, though, stood Mewtwo.

A/N Kenji means Two. ;P
