Pokѐmon Journey III: Jezebel's Voyage

Chapter 37: A Final Test of Power

Jezebel's Point of View:

I was shocked to hear from Alex and Gwyn later on that I would be facing my final test of power, a battle between Violet and myself. I'd long dreamed of this moment as I rested in the hospital with Mattie and my father at my side and fighting with each other all the time (to the point where I had to hurt them both to shut them up.)

I'd just been released from the hospital and we were all on our way to the mountain. Alex had explained to me some rules before I could climb to the top. I wasn't allowed to use my flying types to carry me to the top, only to cross impassable ways. I had to wait until everyone else was atop the mountain before I could travel. I was also supposed to travel with only my pokemon, no human companions. It sucked a bit, but I'd live. It just meant that I'd make a fool of myself with my pokemon to stay entertained.

I was traveling now with my friends as we headed to the base of the mountain. I was to remain while they climbed on their flying pokemon to the top to wait for me. Mattie was at my side now, he held my hand as we landed and all stepped off our pokemon for a moment before we would go our separate ways.

"Be careful as you head up Jez," Casey noted as he looked up the mountain. "I can't see the top, and who knows who's the last person to ever be up there. Could be really dangerous."

"I'm sure she'll be fine! We always are in the end!" Aria giggled and came over to hug me. "You will be, right?"

"Of course Aria, I'll be up there and you all will see an amazing battle." I smiled at her and the others.

Mattie came up next and we shared a small kiss, one that still made me burn hotter then a white flame. I hope it always feels like this…

"We'll see you at the top Jezebel," he said as he squeezed my hands. "Please be careful."

"I do what I can Mattie, but you know me, not always good at 'careful'." I pulled him in close for a hug and he held me to him with all of his might, I was shocked at just how much stronger he'd become over this year, does his heart problems not bother him anymore? I honestly never asked him about that since we first met. I should later on…

"Well, we'll see you soon Jez." The others backed away from me and they soon left on their pokemon up to the top of the mountain. I waved and watched them leave before I sat down on the ground.

"And now we wait until everyone's gathered at the top, and then we'll go."

I had to wait for many hours before I saw that I had gotten a call from Mattie to let me know that everyone was at the top. I let out a breath after I ended the call with him and I made my way up to the entrance that I had been at before when we trained here all that time ago.

Once inside, I saw the dark stone that had a blue hue to it. They crowded around the entrance before extending into a larger space where I saw many pokemon moving about the floor. Most of them ignored me as they saw me, but some actually ran or would angrily fire off an attack. I ignored it and simply stepped to the side and continued to move forward while the pokemon would still growl at me angrily as I passed.

"So it seems that the pokemon here aren't too happy we're back." I snorted a laugh and grinned. "Oh well… too bad for them…"

I shook my head as I made it further inside and noted how everything looked the same. As I approached the waterfall in the back stone room, I smiled at the memories of camping out next to the roaring water to keep most pokemon away from us in the night. It was a while back and it had me laughing, because this was before any of us got together and it was funny to think back to the arguments Aria and Casey would have.

As soon as I saw the waterfall, I was pretty pleased with myself. An easy way up part of the mountain in no time at all… sounds good to me.

"Alright then, Acey, wanna give me a hand?"

Silky's Point of View:

I was happy to be one of the only ones out while Jezebel slowly started to ascend to the top of the mountain. Her first obstacle seemed to be that of the waterfall she used to hang out and around with all the others. Man had it been a long time since we'd been here…

"Alright then, Acey, wanna give me a hand?"

My sister was on it only seconds. Acey called herself out of her pokeball and grinned when she saw the sheer size of the thing. The waterfall was very wide, ranging for many hundreds of feet. It rose over at nearly five times that size and I almost couldn't see the end of it.

"Alright!" Acey was quickly before Jezebel and stuck her head through the human's girl's legs before allowing her to slide on her neck down to her shoulders. "This is awesome! I can't wait to go!"

Without even waiting on an order, Acey jumped up into the air and took off. She soared against the edge of the waterfall before she pulled back a bit and I dared to look over my shoulder and down. The floor seemed to fade before long, and it made me glad that heights never bothered me. Jezebel was laughing below me while Acey continued her fast trek up.

We were about halfway up when things got messy…

A sudden flock of golbat suddenly sprang out at us with their fangs exposed. I gasped when I saw the sheer number of them, it was a horde. Hundreds, maybe even thousands seemed to be before us as we made our way. There was no way to see the top of the waterfall with how many of them there were. They blocked out the area above.

"Take them out Acey!" Jezebel lowered her body closer to Acey's neck and grabbed on tight. "Fire blast!"

Fire erupted from the dragon's mouth and soon it was evident that the golbats were falling rapidly from our assault on them, but that didn't seem to the stop them from coming at us. As their numbers went down, the many that remained seemed to only fly faster at us until their bodies soon grazed our own, I could feel their wings hitting Jezebel and Acey. I tried to cover Jezebel's head as best I could, but I soon felt myself grabbed by with a wing and thrown off into the mix.

"Silky!" I heard Jezebel call, but in the moments I was thrown off, she had become invisible to me. I couldn't see her through the horde that surrounded me.

"Damn…" I hissed out and created a ball of fire in my hands. "Sunny day!"

I threw it up into the air and all the pokemon around me shied away from it. They cried out from the bright light where their eyes were not accustomed to it and backed off. Fire soon came racing around me and I saw Acey zip in and Jezebel was quick to grab my body and hold me close to her chest while Acey dived once more toward the sky. She threw out her fire blast, which had doubled in power thanks to my attack, and it seemed to take out most of the damn stragglers that were after us.

"Everyone alright?" I looked up to Jezebel as she looked down at me worriedly.

"I'm fine." I shimmied my way up her body and placed myself on her head again while Acey turned back and grinned.

"I'm more then good; I bet those idiots will think twice before messing with us again!" Acey grinned as she soon pushed against the wind with her wings faster and in a few seconds, we had made it to the top of the waterfall. Jezebel grinned when she saw it and pointed over to a spot of land she wanted Acey to set us down at.

Once Acey was on the ground, Jezebel jumped off her back and I gripped back onto her head. I saw that the path ahead was really dark, I couldn't see any light.

"Thanks Acey." Jezebel rubbed the sides of her head and Acey grinned.

"No problem! Call me out if you need anything else! Otherwise I'm saving my energy for Violet!" Acey returned herself to her pokeball and Jez seemed to smile at the mention of battling Violet.

"You seem excited." I noted to my human trainer.

"Of course I am!" Jezebel laughed as she turned toward the dark path and started to walk down it. "This is something I've wanted to do for forever now! And now I can't even believe its finally coming true!"

The girl seemed to be gushing with energy, but so were all of her team. We were all looking forward to facing the strong trainer that would really test us and see how powerful we were compared to her.

"Do you think we can beat her?" I dared to ask my human trainer after a moment or two. Jezebel looked at me worriedly for a moment.

"I'm not about to give up my fighting spirit, because we're going to give it our best shot no matter what, but as for beating her… I honestly have no idea." Jezebel sighed. "Ever since we met Violet at Dewford, her power I knew was always so beyond everyone's league, even ours back then. I feel like we match up now, but I can't honestly tell you if we'll win or not. We'll just have to go all out and give it our best shot."

"I think that's the first time you've said we can't win…"

"It is… but you remember how powerful Violet felt to us back in Granite Cave? I could have been tossed all over the place." I saw Jezebel shiver. "I still remember that feeling… it was intense…"

I watched as she soon shook her body out and clenched her fists. "Regardless, we'll fight our hardest and do our best to beat her, like we do any battle!"

I grinned. "Sounds good to me Jez!"

"But these tunnels are getting darker, I can't see anything now." Jezebel sighed before she reached down and grabbed a pokeball off her belt and threw it out. "Help me out Darkness!"

My ghost type brother was soon released from his pokeball. He glanced around at the lack of light in the room before he glanced back us, who could barely be seen. I was on top of Jezebel's head and I could barely see her below me.

"Yes…?"

"Do you think you could lead me through this dark path? I can't see, but I know you can."

"Of course…" He allowed his hand to gently take Jezebel's and he slowly began to led us through the void of black. "Watch your step… there's many jagged edges before you…"

"Thanks Darkness."

Jezebel's Point of View:

Darkness had led us for a good many hours. He told us when to watch our footing more often then not. He could see the path clearly, and when there was a fork in the road, he'd describe each path and show me a mental image so I could choose. Eventually it must have paid off for soon enough, a light could be seen. I grinned as I could finally see where I was going and ran slightly ahead of Darkness.

"Light!" I grinned and rushed up to the opening. I saw that there was a space just outside of the opening. I was shocked to see how many thousands of feet we were above the actual ground. I could see the ocean past the edges of the island region while Mt. Chimney glowed with heat and the lava of its center. I could see the soot and desert routes as well as the thin forest that surrounded the edges of this mountain.

"Wow…" I couldn't help but gush at the view. I'd never been this far up on the island before. Even when flying I'd never been up this high. It was incredible to feel cold air on my skin, which actually brought bumps to my arms from the cold wind. It felt… really nice. I wish I had been exposed to this kind of weather before; it might have calmed me down a lot in the past.

"Beau!" Silky cheered on the top of my head, but she was quick to hold her body closer to me to keep warm.

"Why don't I return you for the time being to keep you warm Silky?" My eyes narrowed a bit as I saw her shiver. "You look cold."

"Beau…"

"Don't worry about it." I pulled out her pokeball. "I'll let you know when we get there." I returned her then and turned my head back to Darkness who slowly made his way out from the black void of where I came out of. "Thanks for the help Darkness. I'm going to take a break here and give you guys one too before we keep moving up and before it gets colder."

He nodded. "Dusk…" I returned him then and took a moment to enjoy the cold breeze before it settled down and I figured a good break for us would be in order. I had all day to climb, and it looked like I was already halfway up the mountain. But part of it seemed like I would have to climb it outside.

As a distraction, I pulled out the last diary of my mother's collection. I'd read through all of them in the time frame of her death until now. It was incredible to know her entire life, but it still hurt that I would never hear it from her lips. My mother only made it through a few passages into this book, not even a fourth of the way through. I'd read a few of them this morning, and it was of my mother recording that she had just been taken in by my father after she'd broken free of Rose's control. If I remember correctly, it was the last entry before she died…

I opened up the book and made it to the last passage I'd yet to read. It was marked with a green bookmark, which I pulled back and held between my fingers as I looked to the last entry.

"Man has it been a long time since I felt this content… maybe it's because I'm free of that devil woman… no, it's more then that. Maybe it's because I'm finally ready. I'm more then finally ready to die.

I can't believe I just said that.

The thing I regret the most is never telling my daughter that I loved her. If I never say anything to her, to show her I care, then I will die with the guilt that I never got to say it. One time, one time before I die I will tell her I love her. And when I do… I will never hurt my loved ones again. I will always help them to heal what is broken, because if I am the cause, I do not want our final separation to be that of hatred. I will not die and leave them with nothing but tears and an aching heart. There is true strength in forgiving others when it wasn't your fault. And if it was your fault, then forgive yourself when you're ready.

I should have forgiven myself long ago, but I always felt it was my fault because that woman got to me, but there was nothing I could do, I was powerless. I should have known that from the start.

We're heading to Sootopolis tomorrow. I'm more then worried about my baby and her friends, but I have a deep feeling in my gut that it's going to be alright, and that I need to just let go…

I don't know why, but I feel like this may be my last entry to write. Whether it is or isn't, I'll say this now, to whoever is readying this, please let my baby girl know just how much I loved her, even if I was unable to show it. Let my words in these books of my past experiences guild her on her way through life.

And if its you reading it Jezebel… know that I loved you with all my heart, and nothing that happens to me is your fault. I know I must have caused you so much grief, so please… forgive me, and if you blame yourself, don't. It was never your fault. Forgive and move on. I know you'll get her.

Get that devil woman for me.

Love you…

Love Mom

I couldn't help but freeze as I read the last passage. No more words for me to hear from my mother, it was all done now.

There is true strength in forgiving others when it wasn't your fault. And if it was your fault, then forgive yourself when you're ready.

I never blamed my mother once I found the truth behind everything. She was never at fault. Rose was. And yet, I felt I was partly responsible too. My mother lay dying before me, Rose escaped, twice, and I couldn't do anything. It made the claw like burn ache on my face.

I felt my team let themselves out of their pokeballs and quickly surround me. I felt their arms and bodies wrap around me.

"Forgive myself…?" Could I? "I guess… I can do it since you did Mom…"

That last phrase my mother left me with, that one that was so quote like, I put my bookmark on that page and stood up. My team looked at me worriedly, but I smiled back at them.

"I think I got an idea of a second tattoo I want besides the IPHP League tattoo." I stretched, my short break was over and it was time to get back onto the road. "Let's go you guys. Blaze, Blade, want to go with me?"

"Blaze."

"Gall."

I returned the others and my two fighting types stood at my sides as we started to move up the mountain.

Blaze's Point of View:

I'd never seen the snow before. I was surprised to feel the cold, white pieces floating down from the sky and landing on my body. They melted on my body and turned to beads of water before they became steam, no different then my breath as we kept moving forward. I tried to keep the area around me warm not only for my own body, but for Jezebel's as well, though she seemed to be handling the cold well with little clothing. She seemed more then excited, as well as warm.

Now that we were out in the cold, she seemed to be running all over the place, but she also seemed at peace as well. It seems that the final passage from her mother must have given her some closure of sorts and allowed the girl to forgive herself. Blade could see it as well, and I saw it brought a small smile to his face.

I'm glad to see her smile… His thoughts traveled to only me. It is not that we wanted to keep Jezebel out per say, but in case we said something that would upset her, we didn't want her to hear it. It was not often that we saw her give us a sweet smile like when she was younger or before such horrible events had taken place.

I agree, I nodded. Maybe now that she has forgiven herself, she may do so more often. She has us, and Mattie, and Aria, Casey… all of their pokemon as well. She has so much now…

I know, and I hope it remains that way for a long time.

"Blaze! Blade! Look at all the snow!" Jezebel was acting like a young child, which I'm sure she hasn't been able to do in a long time. She picked up the powdery snow in her bare hands and threw it up into the air. It glittered in the sun as it floated back down and landed all over her. She laughed and fell back into it. I heard her yelp from the cold snow against her skin and more sensitive places.

"Wow that cold!" She laughed and made a snow angle by swinging her arms and legs. When she was done, Blade lifted her up with his powers and she was set over into my arms to warm her up a bit.

"Looks like I did a good job." She turned to us. "Do you two want to try?"

"I'd melt the snow as soon as I'd touch it." I shrugged. "Maybe when we have more snow then this."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Besides," Blade grinned at her, "Don't you want to make it to the top and battle Violet?"

"Oh yeah!" She grinned and grabbed our hands and pulled us along. "Let's keep moving then! I gotta stop stopping or else we'll never get there!"

Jezebel raced with our hands in hers as we made it closer to another entrance to the mountain. We had moved up much further then before, and at first glance, I could see the top was getting closer. I could feel the power of my opponent. My opponent, the fire dragon known as Amethyst, I would face at the top. I could feel her intense fire from here, and it was burning me to the core.

I was more excited then ever.

"Look, there it is!" Jezebel brought me from my thoughts then and pointed out another doorway to lead back into the mountain. Jezebel hardly gave us a moment to look it over before she dived inside with our hands still in her own. As soon as we arrived inside, I saw that there was a pathway that led up the sides of the walls. Jezebel sprang toward them, but I was faster and pulled her back just as something shot into the wall before us.

"What the hell?" Blade jumped before me while I held Jezebel before myself. "What was that?"

"Stay back!" Blade looked over his shoulder to look at Jez before he charged into the dust cloud that emerged and I quickly heard rock bodies clashing with his sword like hands.

"Blade!" Jezebel called out worriedly to him. "Take them out!" She turned to me. "Blaze, help him!"

"But I can't leave you-"

"Go!" She hollered and that made me move. As much as I didn't want to let her go, she slipped from my grip and shoved me forward. I used my foot then to push myself next to my fighting brother and claws landed on a rock hard body. A lunatone showed up out of the dust while a solrock flew over my head. An army of the rock bodied, psychic types were coming at us.

They flew past us in an easy succession. I gasped and turned as they headed for Jezebel. Blade grabbed me and teleported us right before her and I let loose thick flames of white fire and it sent the group packing away from us or on the ground, blacker then a onyx. I watched as more of them showed up and started to circle around us.

I looked back at my trainer. "Get back Jezebel!"

"What? Blaze! What's going on? Let me help you!" I could feet her rushing forward toward us and Blade was quick to think fast and push her back and out of the cloud. I heard her curse at that before Blade made his way back over to where I was and helped me fight off the pokemon.

"Watch them on the right! They're going after Jezebel!" Blade nodded to me before rushing out back toward our trainer. Those things had incredible speed however and dived right for her with no remorse. My eyes widened as I watched them only feet away.

"Jezebel!" A sudden white light appeared around my trainer and Empyrean let herself loose from her pokeball. With a roaring crying, she glared at the wild pokemon that dared attack our trainer and sister. Empyrean wrapped her body around Jezebel and prevented the pokemon from getting to her while Empyrean blasted them with fire. Even with their hard bodies, they were considered rock and psychic types, which made her attack effective. It pushed them back heavily until Blade and I could make our way over to Empyrean and Jezebel.

"Nice Em!" Blade leapt over the end of her tail and punched a solrock with an ice punch. It fell backward and was knocked out. More of them swarmed around us and Empyrean seemed to get quite pissed. Her eyes narrowed and I watched as she roared and the entire area froze.

"You will stay away from my trainer and sister!" The legendary beast shrieked as she glared out at the swarm around us. Part of them actually stopped and stood still as they watched her in fear. I snorted a laugh as I jumped up on top of her coiled body and allowed the markings to appear.

"Blast burn!" I short out the white fire attack at the swarm before us and the pokemon were submerged in it.

Blade jumped up next to me with a bright light emitted from between his arms. "Focus blast!" The white blast joined the fire in the air. The two attacks molded together.

"Blizzard!" Empyrean shouted behind us. I watched as the three attacks came together up above and illuminated the entire cave. The very size of it shook the walls around us and caused Jezebel to cry out and lose her footing under Empyrean's body.

An explosion like sound went off and part of the walls and ceiling started to collapse. Empyrean let Jezebel go and I reached down to grab her while Blade was before me, knocking away pieces in my way. Empyrean kept the smaller ones off of me and hovered over my head as we took off up the path of the walls of the mountain while we still had a chance. Blade and I jumped nearly a few hundred feet into the air and patches of light were coming in from where all the pieces of rock fell. Jezebel breathed deeply as she looked at the decent and the fallen rocks and pokemon.

The battle was over, and things had calmed down. The only sound we heard now was Jezebel's breathing and the strong wind against the rocks from the holes created above. Light was pouring in many different directions and allowing us to see clearly where we could and couldn't go. We were only a short ways from the end of this area.

"What the hell was that about?" Jezebel glared to the area below before she turned it back over to us.

Blade rubbed the back of his head. "I'm guessing they were mad at us for intruding…"

"No, why didn't you guys let me fight?" Jezebel scowled. "We're a team, aren't we?"

"Of course we are." I set the girl back down on her feet, now that I knew the ground was steady and she was safe again. "But even with everything that's happened to you, we didn't want you to get hurt, or lose the smile on your face."

She blinked at us. "Huh?"

"You've finally showed us a rare sweet smile that we haven't seen since you were young Jezebel," Empyrean started to explain. "We only wanted to keep that smile on your face and keep you from danger."

She sighed. "Okay, I understand, but next time let me help out." She glanced back at us. "I'm apart of this team for a reason, okay? I'm not dead weight."

"We never said you were, you're one of the most important people on it." I smiled at her. "So shall we move on? We're nearly at the top from how much we had to travel in that short time frame."

"Sure, oh look! There's the path!" Jezebel pointed to the doorway a short ways ahead of us. She was more then right. I saw on the path she had pointed out that there was a light that showed up, the entrance out of this section and most likely to the top of the mountain. She raced to it wit us right behind her. Empyrean smiled and easily returned herself to her pokeball while Blade and I caught up with her.

At the exit, we saw the mountain smooth out before there was a peak right before us, only so many feet away. I saw that many people were here all waiting and looking at us as we exited the cave. I saw the young green haired boy light up as soon as he saw Jezebel and rushed toward her.

"Jez!" Mattie crashed into her and the two of them were sent flying toward the ground. She laughed and the two shared a small kiss before others soon joined them, praising Jezebel for making it all the way to the top.

"Good to see you made it Jez." We turned our heads to the voice that stood out, Gwyn Jalen. She approached with a jacket in her arms for Jezebel to wear. A simple bright green color. Jezebel took if from her, but didn't put it on yet. She was still fuming with heat. "Now that you're here, we can start. Ready to battle Violet?"

Our trainer gave a wild grin. "Hell yeah!"

Third Person Point of View:

A short while later from when Jezebel finally made it to the top, she was situated on a open battlefield while many observers from gym battles, the Battle Frontier, friends, family and all others came to watch. At one side stood Jezebel, her entire team stood behind her as she looked to the other side of the tundra.

Violet was on the other end, a jacket now over her shoulders, the same one that she had used the past four years. Her chocolate brown eyes glanced into Jezebel's green ones, the two of them were locked in their gazes, waiting for one another to move or say something.

Finally, Violet broke the silence. "I've been waiting a long time to face off against you Jezebel. I always knew you would be powerful, but never did I think it would be difficult to overpower you. Reminds me of the days when I was a beginning trainer and most everyone was stronger then me, and I had to push past them to get stronger."

"I know what you mean, you felt like that to me when we first met. I remember when we met in the Granite Cave; I knew I could never beat you, even before I knew who you were. I felt the intense power rolling off of you and Gwyn, and I instantly wasn't sure what to do in case you were going to toss Aria and I around." She shook her head. "But I know differently now, and I am stronger now. I'm more then ready to face you and see how my power compares to yours."

"Then let's not hold that off any longer Jezebel, you and I have both been forced to wait an entire year for us to be ready for this battle, and it's beyond time we've had it." Violet was quick to pull out her glittering, snow covered pokeball and throw it out. "Start this off Sapphire!"

From the pokeball came the legendary bird of ice. The articuno looked down on the icy field and grinned. From around her body, ice crystals seemed to glisten on her body at the same time as flaking off her soft feathers.

"Then let's start out with the legendaries!" Jezebel grabbed the emerald covered pokeball and threw it out to the air. "Come on Empyrean, let's take them out!"

The legendary beast of the sky soon emerged and towered over the legendary bird of ice. The rayquaza glared down at the tiny bird and whipped out her tail before her, hissing lightly. The marks on her body glowed brightly on top of the mountain while the sun gleamed off her emerald green body.

"Alright Sapphire, start out with hail! Let's get a storm going!" The bird of ice screeched at the air and suddenly the wind picked up and Jezebel could feel the cold icy hitting at her skin. Jezebel hissed at it. It was a good and a bad cold. She could bare it, but not her dragon. Ice was super effective to her dragon and flying type pokemon. It would make for a horrible match up.

"Let's heat it up instead!" Jezebel threw her arm before her. "Use flamethrower!"

Fire blasted from the dragons mouth's and the ice bird screeched as she felt heat rather then cold.

"Into the air!" Sapphire took off and the attack missed just in the nick of time. The ice bird cried out while a trail of ice followed behind her. "Now use blizzard!"

"Kya!" Snow suddenly appeared and the winds tripled. Jezebel had to cover her eyes from the snow, an element she was not used to in the region of Hoenn. She glanced through the small hole in her arms to see her dragon suffering in the cold.

"Shit!" She cursed. "Empyrean! Hang on! Fire Blast! Warm this place up!"

Empyrean responded to her trainer, fire bursting at her mouth to warm the area us. With a screeching cry, fire suddenly lit the area and the younger trainer could see the snow instantly melting as the fire hit it. Jezebel heard a screech out on the other side of the field and soon enough, things went quiet.

The snow and the wind soon quieted down. Both pokemon could be seen. Emoyrean was coated in thick patches of ice all over her body while Sapphire suffered from thick burns that left black spots on her wings. Both were still standing and ready to go though and both trainers were just as ready to fight.

"Sapphire, can you fly?" The ice bird nodded to Violet and the woman nodded. "Then take the sky and use aerial ace!"

The bird raised its wings, cringing at some of the pain, but took off none the less and raced in the air to pick up speed. Empyrean watched it and waited on an order from its trainer.

"Can you fly as well Empyrean?" The beast nodded. "Good, then use extremespeed!"

The beast smashed its tail into the ground, knocking most of the ice off its body before it leapt into the air. The two pokemon then used their speedy attacks to clash into each other before rushing past. A few times did it happen before Violet flinched.

The elder champion could see that the two legendary pokemon were very close in power, there was hardly any difference. Jezebel had become very strong, strong enough where it put Violet on the edge. It had been a long time since it happened last… She hadn't felt this rush since the last time she faced Gwyn…

"Alright, I'm done playing this game! Finish this up Sapphire! Use sheer cold!" The ice bird screeched in the air before the temperature dropped below anything anyone could imagine and thick shards of ice shot up out of the ground, making its way toward the other pair.

"You're right, let's end this one!" Jezebel grimaced as she watched the battle. No way was Empyrean making it out of there with any strength left. "Use draco meteor!"

So why not take them out in one hit?

Meteors crashed down from the sky above and a screech could be heard from the icy bird. A roaring cry also came out from Empyrean, but no one knew how bad they both were with the dusty cloud of white that covered the field, preventing anyone from seeing everything.

The trainers were both stiff as they waited to see the result of their battle between their first two pokemon. The dust was slowly being cleared as the wind blew it away and to their shock, everyone saw that both pokemon were down.

"Damn… you are strong…" Violet returned Sapphire to her pokeball before pulling out the next, this one being a safari ball. "You ready for the next one?"

Jezebel quickly returned her pokemon and pulled out the next. "More then."

"Alright then, let's go Ruby!" Out came next the furious scizor. She threw her arms around with such force that the air whistled and was more then ready for a fight.

"Okay, let's go then Darkness!" The ghost pokemon was quick to come out and gazed down at Ruby with his one eye. The two met glaring eyes and both were ready for the next fight.

"I'm starting out this time, fire punch!" Darkness wasted no time executing his trainer's order and fire coated his fists and arms before he charged at the pokemon. Ruby was quick to jump out of his way and leap up into the sky with her wings, but the ghost pokemon kept right up after her. She was quick and crafty, able to avoid his punches, but the fire was starting to catch her on the edges of her armor. Slight singed markings, that she could hardly feel, began to show.

"Push back and silver wind!" Violet's cry was clear and Ruby was quick to respond. Using the fire of Darkness' fists, Ruby pushed back and sent the silver wind flying at him. The attacks met and the fire instantly exploded, forcing the two parties away to their sides of the field. Both had some markings, but the explosion wasn't all that big… yet.

"Now Ruby, let's coat the field!" Ruby was back on her feet and spitting out powder from her wings as fast as she could. It glittered all over the field and fell to the ground. Darkness refused to allow the stuff on him and hurried to where he wouldn't get covered or became intangible.

"Now Ruby! Light her up!" Ruby turned around on her wings and where she was just at the edge of the silver wind powder she had produced, she knocked the sides of her pincers together. The sharp blades met and made a spark, and that's all it took.

The battlefield lit up in flames as the entire silver wind powder caught fire and expanded. Darkness was thankfully not covered in it, but it was at his feet.

"Protect!" The younger female cried out. A shield was quickly over his body and it was soon evident that Ruby couldn't get him from the way she was fighting.

"Okay, a new strategy…" Violet looked around, seeing the explosive battlefield calm down for a moment as Ruby landed back next to her again. "Ruby, use fury cutter on it!"

The bug pokemon raced forward and threw her pincers down before the ghost pokemon. Darkness cried out as the attack hit, right over his chest and Jezebel couldn't stop herself from crying out.

"Darkness!" Jezebel gasped. "Sucker punch and fade out!"

The pokemon did as such. A quick blow to the pokemon's jaw was more then enough time to startle the pokemon and force her to close her eyes, allowing Darkness to fade away. When Ruby opened her eyes again, the pokemon was gone.

"Watch out Ruby! He's here, somewhere!" Violet called out.

Jezebel grinned from across the field and looked toward the area where Ruby was. "Darkness! Grab her and take her down!"

The ghost pokemon finally appeared then. His arms appeared out of the ground and grabbed Ruby's legs before dragging her under.

"Ruby!" Violet screamed.

"Now!" Jezebel screamed. An explosion went off under the ground and from the hole that suddenly appeared, dark spirits and strong glittering winds blasted into the sky before the blast suddenly vanished and the gaping hole began to crumble at its edges. Both trainers rushed out to the edges and looked below. Under many piles of rocks, Ruby was crushed and Darkness lay there with rocks floating through his ghostly body, but also knocked out.

"Damn…" Violet returned her pokemon before she pulled out another pokeball. "This is getting good…"

"Hell yeah it is!" Jezebel followed the older woman's actions and soon enough, another set were thrown out onto the field. "Let's go Acey!"

"Go Zircon!"

The two dragons were then summoned to the battlefield. Both took to the sky on their wings and suddenly crashed into each other without any warning. Their heads pushed against one another until the force was too great and both were shoved away to either side of the field.

"Easy their Zircon, don't rush into it too badly." Violet grinned from her side of the field.

"And why not?" Jezebel chuckled on the other side of the field. "Don't hold back Acey! Jump in with dragon claw!"

The ground dragon cried out before her claws glowed with the eerie color and the beast dived for her opponent. Just as the claw was about to make contact with the face however, the dragon pokemon looked pumped and ready to strike back.

"Now Zircon, dragon rage!"

Zircon's eyes suddenly turned red and the beast suddenly rushed toward the speeding flygon and slammed his fists into her, but not before a swipe was made across the face by said flygon. Both cried out and caught themselves in the air as they prepared for the next strike. Both dragons glared at one another before moving without the orders of their trainers.

Zircon came in first with his outrage taking control of his body. He sent his fists together and flew over Acey's back. Acey shifted the air under her wings before moving out of the way and then going in for another swipe at the other dragon. She dived and managed to collide her body with his and they both slammed into the ground. A dust cloud emerged over them.

Shadows could be seen through the icy dust. The dragons were wrestling and shot out of the cloud. The crashed into another set of rocks, both of them trying to overpower the other and throw the other into the heavy rocks around. An upper cut was delivered with the claws of Acey. She hit her mark of the under side of Zircon's chin before his tail whipped around and slammed into her body. She cried out as her body raced to the ground and crashed while Zircon hovered above.

Though things changed at that moment. Zircon, the dragon that was over powered by his outrage attack, was sawing and holding his head in pain. Acey pushed herself from the rubble and grinned when she saw this.

"Nice! He's confused himself!" Jezebel grinned and looked at her pokemon. "Get him Acey!"

"Rha!" The female dragon leapt into the air and slammed her body into the male one.

"No!" Violet cringed as she watched her baby dragon get hit. "Zircon! Take them out with draco meteor!"

Even with all the damage and pain induced on his mind and body, Zircon was able to hear the order of his trainer and understand the possible sacrifice he would make in this battle. He cried out and the portal appeared above all their heads as color meteors fell from the sky and landed on the battlefield Acey cried out as one hit her right on her tail, trapping her on the ground.

"Acey!" Jezebel cried out in alarm. "Use dig and get out of there!"

But the pokemon did not have enough time to do so, another one landed on her in a second as she began to dig downward. Meteors crashed all over the field, and even the one who summoned them was hit. Violet clenched her fist. She knew it was possible for her beloved baby dragon of four years to be hit, but she had no other choice to at least give Zircon the option of not losing to his opponent.

As soon as Zircon was down, the meteors stopped. Violet rushed out to her dragon and held him in her arms as Jezebel did a similar action, looking for Acey. She had been piled over with the meteors that had come crashing down on her while she was trying to escape. Jezebel shoved aside the debris and soon enough found her poor dragon at the base of it all, her tail still trapped and her body bruised. She was knocked out.

"Sorry I wasn't faster Acey, he got us." She returned her pokemon before returning to her side of the field. It was halfway over now. Three pokemon were down on either side. Now it was down to the next set.

"Alright, its time to take it up a notch!" Violet grinned wickedly as she threw out the next pokeball. "Let's go Chalcedony!"

The umbreon was soon to appear on the battlefield. He held his own to the harsh winds that soon took over the peak and his body glowed against the dust clouds of ice. A grin was set on his face as he slowly approached Jezebel's side of the battlefield before he sat and waited.

"Get ready! Let's go Silky!" Jezebel through out her pokeball and out came the shiny butterfly pokemon. Her colorful wings sparkled as the glitter rolled off of them. The two pokemon locked eyes before jumping to other sides of the field.

"Alright, we're over the halfway point. Things are going to get heated real soon…" Violet snickered as she looked over the field. "Now let's start out Chalcedony! Psychic!"

A rush of energy filled the field as the beautifly was forced to endure the horrid attack upon her mind. The female pokemon screamed out and her trainer looked just as horrified.

"Attack Silky! Silver wind!" The female pokemon screeched out and suddenly, strong winds of glittering dust started to cyclone around the field. Chalcedony looked upon them in fear before he was grabbed and thrown up into the air, crying out in pain and releasing Silky from the imprisonment of her mind. "Good job Silky!"

"Chalcedony!" The attack was super effective against the dark type pokemon, Violet was in trouble with this one. Jezebel's bug type had the advantage over her dark type. "Chalce, dispel it with dark pulse!"

The dark type hissed before his body was wrapped up in himself and even the glowing marks all over his skin vanished as darkness surrounded him. A cry rang out as the dark pulse was sent flying and the silver wind shattered, flying in all directions and nearly hitting the crowd. Alex made a quick dive from where he was and pulled up a chuck of earth to protect them all.

Jezebel and Violet stood still and silent as they wanted for Alex's call if everyone was alright. The eldest of the IPHP League slammed the stone back into the ground and grinned at his girlfriend.

"Careful Vi…"

She merely stuck her tongue out at him.

Alex shook his head and gave a wave of his hand, indicating to continue with the battle.

"Chalcedony, barrage of shadow balls!" The dark type grinned as he jumped backward and started to throw out surges of ghost energy into the air. Soon, as Violet had demanded, a army or such of shadow balls appeared and hurled themselves at Silky.

"Counter with whirlwind!" The beautifly suddenly threw up the power winds before her and the shadow balls were thrown high up into the air. They crashed into one another before breaking and ghostly dust fluttered down to the pokemon below. Chalcedony merely sat there as it fell on him, ghost types had no effect on dark, but Silky was another story. The powerful move had left her hurt as the dust touched her body. She screeched out as the dust sent painful dark energy through her body.

"Silky! Another whirlwind!" A great shove of energy from the beautifly's wings and the dark dust was sent toward Chalcedony. He merely sat there again. The wind may have been strong, but its contents, un-harmful to him.

"Damn it… this is getting annoying…" Jezebel hissed as she watched the battle slowly progressing. "I don't know how, and I'm sorry Silk, but that dark type is stronger then you… we gotta take him out."

"Beau!" The beautifly make her way over to where her opponent was and Jezebel sighed, knowing what Silky wanted to do. It was the only way to take down that dark type, since all other attempts had failed.

"Now Silky! Silver wind!" The silver wind hit the pokemon, but even with it being super effective, it seemed to have little effect on Chalcedony.

"I'm ending this poor battle now Jezebel!" Violet looked at her pokemon. "Now Chalcedony! User head butt and take that pokemon out!"

The dark pokemon charged headfirst into the silver wind and was only inches away when Jezebel chuckled.

"Sorry Violet, but I have a different idea in mind." Jezebel silently apologized to her pokemon in her head before she glared at Violet. "Now Silky, use sunny day!"

"No!"

But it was too late…

The bright, shining attack of fire hit the silver wind that covered the entire field and all its air and went up in flames. Both trainers shielded themselves from the attack, only to look moments later and see both of their pokemon black, burned well, and done.

"Mew damn it!" Violet huffed as she saw her pokemon, who was once winning, now down and out. She returned Chalcedony with a regretful sigh before she pulled out another pokeball. Never had she been so frustrated since she first started her journey, and she liked it and hated it all at the same time. "I'm not giving up yet! Let's go Amber! Take her out!"

The next pokemon out was the electric mouse pokemon of Violet's, her riachu. Amber's cheeks sparked heavily as she glared to Jezebel's side of the field, waiting on her opponent.

"Alright Blade, you're up next!" From Jezebel's side came her fighting and psychic pokemon. Blade threw down his arms, ready to swing at the electric mouse before him. The blade pokemon eagerly waited for the next battle.

"Go Amber! Start us off with thunder!" The raichu hissed out before it let out a whopping amount of energy and threw it into the sky before a beam of lighting shot down and moved its way toward Blade.

"Protect!" A shield suddenly covered the blade pokemon. The lighting strike hit, but did no damage to Blade. His shield kept up just long enough for the electricity to fade, where the shield was let go and it shattered. They were back at square one again.

"Now use quick attack!" The electric mouse quickly dashed forward and Jezebel was shocked to see how fast that pokemon actually was. She hissed.

"Teleport!" Blade vanished then and Amber looked all over, trying to find him. A sudden thought came to her through and she looked up. Blade was hovering in the air above. "Psycho cut!"

Blade threw out a brightly lit cut that slammed down into the air below him. Amber just barely dodged the attack and bounced back, but she was tiring out, as was Blade, their powerful attacks and dodging took their toll, even if none of them had hit each other yet.

"Alright, that's it!" Violet was getting impatient with the battle, shockingly so. It had been a very long time since she'd been so heated and prone to rush forward with her most powerful moves. "Amber! Finish this off with volt tackle!"

The electric mouse quickly rushed around the entire field, denting in the ground as she raced it over it. Electricity soon left her body and coming off her, making a yellow line around the entire field.

Jezebel hissed and threw out her hand toward her pokemon. "Its time Blade! Use close combat!"

The fighting type suddenly rushed forward with his body coated in a bright light. Just at the same moment, Amber turned her course and jumped toward Blade. His fist was thrown out as her body came in contact and a bright, yellow light blew up in the middle of the field. On Jezebel's side, through the cloud of dark smoke and smoldering ground, from being fried, Blade was thrown back to her feet. He rolled over his own limbs before landing in a pile.

On the other side of the field, Amber was hurled from the cloud and shot through the sky before her body came crashing in on the ground and she was left to toss and turn before she landed in Violet's arms, who readily caught her pokemon. Looking down upon the poor pokemon's face, Amber had given it her all, and was hit with all the male pokemon had.

"You did good Amber; we'll get her next time." She returned her pokemon and watched as Jezebel did a similar thing to one of her two strong protectors.

This was it… the last pokemon for both of them…

"You ready for this Jez? I'm boiling with excitement!" Violet grinned as she pulled out her old and weathered pokeball, the first one she'd ever received.

"More then. Bring it." Jezebel did the same action, pulling out her first pokeball.

The crowd watched, speechless, as the last pokeball for both were in their hands. All were on the edges of their seats, watching, to see who would be the winner.

"Let's go then Amethyst! Burn her black!"

"Kick her ass Blaze! We can do it!'

Both fire types appeared on the field then. The shiny charizard took to the air while the blaziken was jumping on his feet and kicking back and forth. He waited on her move.

"Alright Amethyst, let's kick this off with dragon claw!" The charizard's claw like hand was covered in that multi-colored energy before she charged forward, using the air under wings to help her dive at the pokemon.

"Counter with double kick!" Blaze quickly went into action and threw his legs up a the dragon attack coming in. His leg landed against the incoming claws and shoved them out of the way before a second leg flew up and over her claws. Amethyst just barely moved out of the way for his leg to hit the ground. Upon impact, the ground dented inwards and shattered, falling many feet below. Blaze brought his foot back up next to him and continued to jump from foot to foot to stay on his toes.

"Not bad, but let's see you try this! Flare blitz!" The charizard pushed itself back before becoming encased in a cloak of fire and racing toward Blaze.

"Counter with blaze kick!" Amethyst's head and Blaze's foot came in contact with each other and the two of them halted each others' attacks before being shoved to the other side of the field. Hardly any damage was on them, they weren't the strongest pokemon on each of Violet and Jezebel's teams for a reason.

"Good to know this won't be an easy battle." Jezebel grinned as she looked to Violet on the other end of the field. The older woman grinned back at her before calling out her next move.

"Now Amethyst! Air slash!" Amethyst jumped back up into the air before throwing her wings before her in a slashing movement. Air suddenly turned sharp and took a physical form before rushing at Blaze.

"Counter with brave bird!" It was a new move that would protect her fighting type from being harmed. Blaze gathered the air around him before bending close to the ground and wrapping his arms around himself. He then took off toward Amethyst.

The two attacks quickly made their way to each other before Amethyst's attack hit the brave bird, but was brushed off instantly. Violet was shocked and her eyes widened. Her pokemon had a similar look before she watched the fighting type close in.

"Now jump!" Jezebel cried out. Her pokemon compiled with her request and suddenly leapt into the air, inches away from Amethyst as the attack was closing in to hit.

"Fire spin!" The flying pokemon coated herself in fire and spun just as the attack hit her. The two attacks hit and the pokemon were thrown back from the explosion. Each pokemon landed by their trainers once more, and the two humans glanced at each other.

The two pokemon rushed to their feet, Amethyst being the first. As soon as she got good footing, she cried out, letting out an ear piercing roar. It shook the entire area and the ground visibly shook. Blaze was next to his feet and followed the other pokemon's lead. He cried out as well, the sound echoing everywhere on the peak. All the humans had to hold their ears from the destructive noise that gave the pokemon power through their frustration.

"Now Blaze!" Jezebel screeched over them.

"Amethyst!" Violet screamed.

"BLAST BURN!" Both pokemon refused to stop their screaming, so instead, they infused their attacks into it. Markings appeared on their bodies, and before anyone knew it, white fire shot out and the entire battlefield turned white in color, where no one could see anything.

Many people screamed from the blast, others were left frozen in fear from the destructive force that these two had. Only a few were left in wonder and excitement to see who would be the winner over the two destructive attacks.

Everything soon turned quiet after that. The cries of the pokemon stopped, the humans stopped screaming, even the cheering was over too. The entire battlefield was covered in a grey smoke. Everyone was left wondering what happened.

Then, a sound could be heard. The shuffling of a set of feet, two actually. Through the smoke, the crowd watched in shock as Violet and Jezebel were making their way towards the middle of the field, where they're pokemon were. Violet and Jezebel stopped a few feet from each other, just in arms reach, when they're pokemon appeared behind them, fallen to the ground. Neither Blaze nor Amethyst had emerged victorious.

The battle was a tie…

"A tie…" Violet was stunned as she looked at her pokemon. Amethyst barely opened an eye to look at her trainer. "I guess we need to work harder, don't we girl? Don't worry, you and the others did more then well today, she was just really strong."

The fire and flying pokemon nodded before closing her eye, accepting the tie.

"Damn it… we'll get better and stronger then, won't we Blaze?" Jezebel turned back to her pokemon and smiled. "We tied, that's more then I expected today from us. I'm just glad you guys are alright and did you best. Good job." Blaze lightly nodded his head and gave up, allowing sleep to overtake him.

The two girls turned back to each other. Violet was the first to make a move, holding out her hand for Jezebel to shake. "Well… I believe you've more then proved your place among us. You and your friends are more then welcome to join us; we could use all the help we can when it comes to Rose." Jezebel took it.

"I accept." Jezebel smiled at her. "Thank you Violet, for everything."

The older champion smiled. "Its no problem, now let's get back to your father's house, we have a few things to take care of as well as a party to celebrate on your job well done!" She then leaned down next to my face. "And to say good-bye, we leave for a new region called Sinnoh tomorrow. Things are getting dangerous over there, and that's where we know Rose is heading next."

The younger woman nodded. "Got it."

Jezebel's Point of View:

It had been an hour or two since Violet and I tied up on top of the mountain. We'd been partying every since then at my father's place in Petalburg. It had been a long day, with traveling up the mountain and then the major battle. It was crazy! But the real hard part was now, at this party. I was joining the IPHP League with my friends to go after Rose and take her down, and that mean leaving my father and the rest of my family behind. It was going to be one of the hardest things I do in my entire life, especially since my father and I only recently started to get to know each other in this past year. I finally got the rest of my family back, but now I'd have to leave… it was a tough event over all. And it sucked…

Violet had already talked with us about getting our tattoos for the league, as well as that special other one I wanted to get for my arm. Violet through it was more then appropriate to honor my mother, even showing me the elaborate one on her back to show how much dedication she had to her team and family. I was more then excited to get them, it was actually going to be right after the party, and my father still didn't know…

Not exactly something I wanted to tell him… but I'm sure he would have figured it out in time, with every member of the IPHP League getting one. Hell… even Levy plans to get one when she becomes of age in two years.

Mattie was at my side, holding my hand the entire time. He knew just how nervous I was about telling my family. He was nervous about telling his own, that was another thing he had to take care of before the day was over. They were here celebrating with us as well, but got lost in the crowd.

"We should probably face the music now, shouldn't we?" Mattie glanced over at me worriedly as I spoke.

"Yeah…" He sighed and pulled his hand out of mine. "I-I'll see you in a bit."

"Hey," I pulled him back. "Kiss for good luck." He smiled and pecked me on the lips before he took off to find him family. Once he was out of my sight, I sighed and slowly started to make my way over toward mine, who were mostly in the kitchen. I was also shocked to notice that all of the Frontier Brains were here as well, with the owner of the park, Scott.

"Hey there Jezebel!" Scott was the one to great me. "Enjoying the party?"

"Yeah, my dad always seems to put on a really good meal." I saw my father beam at me in pride. "How about all of you? Recovered from the attack yet?"

"We're still working on repairs; my pyramid needs to be entirely re-done." Brandon groaned and crossed his arms. "But all other locations seem to be, for the most part, entirely intact. But during the time of the rebuild, we plan to close off that section of the island, because we want to introduce new places, new Frontier Brains to the park."

"Oh?" That got my attention. "Who would be your new Frontier Brains?"

"Well… that's the thing; we only offer positions to new possible Frontier Brains if they beat all of us at our own games." Anabel smiled as she sat on the counter next to Greta. "We already asked Casey and Aria, but neither of them wanted to join, and you know the IPHP League has said no to us already."

"So… that means…" I blinked at them, not really sure if I was right in what they were saying.

"We wanted to ask you and Mattie to join us!" Tucker threw out his hands and grinned. "We'd love another set of Frontier Brains!"

"Yeah, and we can battle and train against each other in our down time or when we wait for people to make it to us!" Greta grinned as she looked at me.

"I'd like an opportunity to get stronger and crush you." Lucy's venomous voice touched my ear from the side and I could only grin at her misery in losing to me.

"Well… this is such an honor…"

"Its nothing compared to being a champion of course." Spencer grinned. "But it still means something to us and many trainers."

"No, I know that." I nodded to him. "I'd love to, but…"

"But?" Norland questioned as all of his co-workers looked at me in question.

"I don't know if I can at the moment, because of Rose." I looked up at them and I saw the reflection of my dark look from speaking her name. "She killed my mother, ruined my family, its only right that I pursue her. But do want to join…"

"Well, it's going to take us a while to get the place fixed up, and we can always save yours for when you beat Rose." Anabel noted as she stepped off the counter towards me. "You want to, but you're busy now. We get it. I think we should still let her in, even if we have to wait a few years for her or more. Jezebel is worth the wait."

"Now hold on a second." I turned over to look at my father who stood behind Scott. The shorter man quickly got out of his way and hid behind Brandon while my father approached me. "You're leaving?"

"Yeah… Dad, I have to go after Rose, for Mom." The second I brought up my mother, a dark look was in my father's eyes.

"Jezebel… not again! I just got you back!"

"And who said I was leaving for good?" I cursed at myself as the tears slowly made their way down my cheeks. "Dad, I'm not leaving forever, I'll be with the League, they'll help me and we'll keep each other and everyone else safe from her. But I need to avenge our family after what she's done and stop her from doing this to some other poor child! If I can stop this, trust me, I will! No one should have to lose a parent because of that woman!" I sighed before I got overly emotional. "No one should lose a parent, a husband, a wife, a child, or a friend… that's beyond cruel."

"Jezebel…" My father couldn't come up with an answer this time; he just sulked as he stood there. "Fine… just message me to let me know your okay, call, I wan to hear from you as often as I can."

"I will Dad…" Before I could stop myself, I rushed into my father's arms. He hugged me back just as harshly, crushing my body to his, no differently then when we lost my mother and his wife that day…

"Then we'll keep in mind that we have two new Frontier Brains!" Anabel cheered. "Oh this will be so exciting!"

"What? Two?" I blinked at her from the inside of my father's arms.

"Mattie." Greta grinned. "We talked to him earlier, he agreed, but only would join if you did."

"Really?" My eyes widened. "Wow… I never thought he would agree…"

"He actually was thinking about doing a tag team thing with you, so you two would be together." Brandon snorted a laugh. "But you can work that out later, you need to finish your good-byes, and I owe you this." The man walked over towards me and handed me a small symbol in his hands. My seventh battle symbol I never got: the brave symbol. It looked like a square that was cut into four wide triangles. I held it in my hand before I looked back to Brandon.

"But I didn't battle you."

"No, but standing up to Rose and willing to give your own life for all of us… well, that seems a bit more worthy of the symbol then any, that's why your friends got one too, because they all fought." Brandon chuckled. "We'll be waiting on having you at the Battle Frontier with us, but until then, Champion Jezebel, take Rose down."

I nodded to him. "I will, if it's the last thing I do."
