Yay! We passed 11000 views! That's amazing! I want to thank you all for coming this far!

And here are the reviews!

thor94: Thank you! I try to make battles as fair as I can, but I'm just not good at writing them! Mew is more of comic relief. She won't do much battling excpet when needed. And I do have plans for Ash. Just you wait!

.18: As I said, they're not going to use the lengendaries often. This may even be the last time you see them. I just wanted something funny and unexpected in there. And yes I took your suggestion. I'm sorry if I didn't tell you beofre, but it was just so good I had ot put it in! I'm sorry! Blue actually battled against Sabrina and Brycen, hence the ice part. Amber? And Mewtwo? Don't be ridculous! I have something else for the two of them.

keaton-furman-prower: Don't worry. Ash would never have a Ho-oh! Gold has one already! Heh, just wait a few more chapters. A few new characters to the mangang will show up and I know you know who. I'm not being mean or offensive here or anything, but by your logic, then they would just be their cousin's cousin's former roommates. A father's brother would just be their uncle and their uncle's nephew would be their cousin. Just pointing it out there! I don't mean anything by it, I swear!

A big thank you to everyone who has reviewed, faved, and/or followed this story. What was a side project became the main focus and I have all of you to thank for that! Sorry for the long Author'sNote and I know you've been waiting for the chapter, so I'll shut up and let the show go on!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or anything I will refer to. I only own my OCs.

Chapter Thirty-Five

Blue's POV

What the hell?! What's going now?! I know this was not supposed to happen! Who cut the power?!

"Gary!" I hissed. "What's going on?!"

"How should I know?!" he snapped at me.

"You were in charge of supervising the light effects!" I retorted.

"Ask Emerald! He did all the work!" he countered.

"Fine!" I stormed off to find the little pipsqueak. But that was easier said than done. I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black. The only light I could see was nothing. I wish I brought a flashlight or something. I could hear some of the girls starting to scream and panic while I swear some of the boys were out hunting, if you know what I mean. Finally, some trainers with some sense decided to call out their fire and electric type pokémon.

"Summer!" I called out to the girl. She looked around. Her Pichu, Rin, was on her shoulder, using Flash, allowing the both of them to see. I walked closer over to her.

"Blue! What's happening?!" she exclaimed when I was near her.

"I think know, but I'm determined to find out." I told her. "You want to help me find Emerald?"

"I see him! Yeah he's right next to Yellow." she pointed a few yards over to where Yellow and Emerald were standing. Yellow had Chuchu out and using Flash as well.

"Hey! Crescent Head!" I yelled at him as I stormed towards him.

"Uh oh!" I saw him gasp with wide eyes as I got near.

"Tell me! What did you do to the lights?!" I demanded as I picked him up by his collar, bringing him up to my eye level.

"I didn't do anything! I just did the things you asked me to! I didn't plan this to happen!" he frantically said as he struggled in my grip. Boy, his short legs didn't do him any good here.

"Blue! Settle down." Yellow comforted me.

"How? This night is going to end in a disaster." I exclaimed as I suddenly let go of Emerald. "The tournament was going so well, but then this! I'm going to make a fool of myself!"

"Can't you think of any other explanation for this?" Emerald asked me as he rubbed his head.

"No! I made sure that everything was perfect." I told him. "There was no way anything could go way, unless..." my mind drifted off. I know the ranger kids were scared out of their wits when Serena told that story, but to be honest, I found a couple of Banette masks in some of the school old records. And they looked really old.

"Blue? What are you thinking about?" Yellow asked.

"Keep everyone in here. Tell Ash's gang, our friends, and our ranger pals to go outside. We can't have widespread panic." I ordered. Yellow and Emerald nodded before running as Ditty transformed into a Shuppet to go off and help spread the word. As for me, I hardly have any light to go by, but I pushed passed many people to get to one of the exits.

It was long and hard. By I was able to get outside, I took a deep breath of the crisp cool air and it helped energize my lungs. I took out a pokéball and let out the pokémon within. "Moltres! Come on!"

Moltres appeared in a flash of light before letting out a great cry. His wings, ablaze, provided all the light I needed. I looked behind and me and noticed every one of my friends running up to meet me. Of course, a huge bird with wings made of fire wasn't that hard to miss in a pitch black night. Ditty, as a Shuppet, flew up to me before transforming back into a Ditto and landed on my shoulder.

"Blue! What the hell happened in there?!" Gary yelled at me.

"How should I know?! Do you think I wanted that to happen?!" I snapped back.

"Everyone shut up!" Scarlett shouted. "I get that whatever happened in there was unexpected, but we don't need to blame each other!"

"It's the legend! It is!" Serena shouted.

"She's right! It's midnight!" Lyra exclaimed.

"Oh my Arceus! We're all dead!" Keith yelled out.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Silver roared. "Or I swear, I will sick Entei on every one of you!"

"Now, let's think of this rationally and calmly." Crystal said coolly. "We can't go running around like headless Farfetch'd."

"Right." White nodded. "We should split up to see what exactly is going on."

"Are you crazy?!" Gold grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently. "We can't split up! We'll only get picked off one by one by the Headless Horseman!"

Somehow, he got knocked off of her, but later, I saw that it was Lack-Two.

"We won't be alone. We'll stick with partners and we have our pokémon." Whi-Two pointed out.

"Right. To be safe, we should split off like this; one trainer with a legendary goes with a ranger and if there are extras, stick with one of us. But no trainers who both have legendaries go together. The others won't be as protected that way." Lucas explained.

"Seems good." Kate nodded. She picked off a pokéball off her belt and threw it in the air. In a flash of light, a Cresselia popped out. "Now who's going with me?"

We all blinked at the rangers as they all brought out different legendary pokémon. Keith had a Heatran at his side while Kellyn's Darkrai was floating behind him. Rhythmi and Isaac each had a Lucario standing in front of them while Summer's Latias and Ben's Latios stayed near their trainers. Lucy had Celebi in her arms while Brent had Victini sitting on top of his head. I definitely don't remember giving them those pokémon!

"Um, how did you guys get legendaries?" Ash asked them, still awe-struck.

"They're our guardians. We were assigned them one night at the Ranger School back in Almia, but we never had to call upon them for help since only we know about them." Rhythmi explained.

"And you two never told us?!" Lucas and Brendan yelled at their younger siblings.

"You never asked!" Lucy smiled at them.

"Next time you ask us how school went, ask about our pokémon!" Brent added.

We're just full of secrets today, now aren't we?

Scarlett's POV

"Rio, stop messing around and keep that Aura Sphere in one paw." I told her.

Aw, you're no fun. Rio pouted as she stopped juggling the sole Aura Sphere we're using as one of one of our light sources and kept it in one paw. Mew was floating above us, a light shining from her body.

The group decided to split off. Some went with two other people, but most went in a larger group. I was in a group with Gary and X. Blue was with Serena, May, and Dawn. Ash decided to go with his cousins, Brendan, Lucas, Lucy, and Brent. Kate, Keith, and Kellyn went in a group while Summer and Ben went with Rhythmi and Isaac. The Unova gang went with each other as well the Johto gang, but Lyra also went with them. Emerald, Yellow, Max, and Barry went together as the last group.

"Are you sure this is a smart idea?" X asked me.

"Why would you ask that?" I replied.

"We left a building filled with students who don't know what the hell is going on and we locked them in there." he pointed out.

"I didn't lock them in there. Gary did." I answered.

"Blue told me to. She forced my hand." he shrugged.

We each have some kind of pokémon out with us. I had Rio, Sol, and Mew out while Gary only has his Sableye out and X had his Lasma. The Ghost types would be able to sense if something wicked this way comes. I wish I brought Pika, she could've helped out somehow.

"Mew, can you see anything?" I asked her.

"Nope. Not a soul except for your friends." she answered.

"Not a very good answer though." X protested. "The Headless Horseman is a ghost."

"X, that story is just a legend." I told him. "He's not real."

"If you say so." he rolled his eyes. "But he's the only explanation to the lights suddenly going out."

"Wait." I stopped walking. I spotted something on the ground in front of us. "Stay here." I told the boys. I motioned for Rio, Sol, and Mew to follow me as I stepped forward. I kneeled down as I picked up the unknown object. Rio moved her Aura Sphere closer so I could see it better. It was made of black fabric. Old black fabric. A yellow zipper stretches across with two smaller opened zippers above it. I stood up as I realized what it was.

"A Banette mask..." I said slowly. I could see my hand tremble a bit. This must be a joke. Blue must have left this here. I turned around to face the boys, but when I looked up, they were gone. Only Sableye and Lasma were there.

Where are they? Rio asked.

"Lasma, Sableye, where are your trainers? What happened to them?" I asked quietly.

"Gen! Gengar! Gen!"

"Sa sableye! Eye! Sableye!"

"They just disappeared?" Mew was deathly pale.

"What do you mean disappeared?" I asked.

"Gen gen gengar! Gen gen!" Lasma exclaimed.

You say a blue flame washed over them before they vanished? Rio translated.

A shiver went down my spine. I looked at the mask in my hand. It couldn't be, could it? The legend isn't real. It's only a story. But, where did Gary and X go? Both Lasma and Sableye are freaked out. Clearly, they are not joking about this. I could see both of my hands tremble. I clenched my fists tight, but in the faint light, I could see myself getting pale. Oh Arceus, this is worse than the Honedge.

Suddenly, a neigh filled the air. I snapped my head up to see a flicker of a blue flame in the distance. Laughter followed after. A wicked, evil laughter. I felt the air drop ten degrees as the laughter and neigh died out.

"We have to move." I said quietly. "We have to go. And no one takes their eye off of each other. We only each other now."

We continued on. Once in awhile, we would see that blue flame and that laughter would fill the air right after. In total, I counted a total of eight blue flames, including the one that swallowed Gary and X. Each time we saw a blue flame, they were different sizes. It could mean more than one person went with them. I really hope everyone's okay. I don't want them hurt.

My pokémon as well as Lasma and Sableye formed a circle around me, as to protect me from anything to happen, but it was also to make sure everyone else was in view.

Scarlett, are you okay? Rio asked me.

"It's my fault." I said quietly. "I told them to stay back. I left them alone. They're gone because of me!"

"Snap out of it!" Mew appeared in front of me. "Stop blaming yourself. We all had a part in this. We couldn't stop it anyhow. There's a bigger force behind this."

"Sol. Absol." Sol growled as she glared ahead. Everyone got in a battle stance as the thing in front of us approached.

"White! Whi! Lack! Where are you guys?!" I recognized that voice. My eyes snapped open as I broke free of the circle of pokémon. I ran straight ahead before I saw the light of Whi-Two's Candela-chan.

"Black!" I yelled towards him. I saw him look up and his eyes grew bright. He ran towards me. I nearly fell, but he caught me in his arms. "Thank Arceus I found you! I thought I was going to be alone!"

"Scarlett!" he exclaimed. "Where's Gary and X? Weren't they with you?" he asked as my group of pokémon caught up with me.

"Gone." I shook my head. "Disappeared in a blue flame."

"Same thing with me." Black said. "White and her siblings just vanished. Only their pokémon are left." he looked behind him. I saw Candela-chan, Musha, Barbara, and Beheeyem there. They all looked worried as well.

"We have to find the others." I said as I stood up straight. They might also be all alone."

"You're right. We have to find the others quickly." I saw Black had something in his hand.

Black, what's that?" I asked him.

"A Banette mask..." he held it up to me. I gasped quietly as I raised the one I had in my hand. He looked as alarmed as I was. With a shared look, we ran off to find the others.

It felt like forever since I felt this way. Pure terror filled my worst fears as the cold air filled my lungs. I can't feel my legs, but that's fine. The wind doesn't bother me. I have faced colder air. My heart was beating loudly, so loud; I felt each thump as I took a step forward. Eventually, I could see a great orange fire in the distance. As we got closer, I could see it was a Moltres. Blue's Moltres.

Happiness replaced that fear for just a second as I realized my friend could still be here. That hope went away soon though. Blue wasn't there. In her place was Serena.

I stopped dead in my tracks. If Serena was here, then everyone in her group was gone. Including Blue.

"Oh my Arceus! I am so glad I found you!" Serena exclaimed when she saw us coming. She ran up to us. I saw that with her were Moltres, Blaziken, Sylveon, Glaceon, and Lopunny.

"Serena, did everyone else-?" I asked her quietly. I couldn't even finish my question.

"Gone. I saw it. They were right in front of my eyes! I couldn't even stop it!" she cried. I looked down at her hands to find it clutching a piece of black fabric. She moved her hands a bit to see three yellow zippers.

"At least they still left some of their pokémon out." Black spoke up. "We still have Moltres."

"No. It's not him." Serena shook her head. "It's just Blue's Ditty. Blue called back her Moltres when we started searching." Ditty transformed back into its blob from before landing on Serena's shoulder as she said that.

"We need to find whoever's left. We have power in numbers. We're not safe broken up like this." I said. I felt Lasma move under my hand. I looked down at him and saw a faint smile on his face. It was as if he was reassuring me. I smiled back. If X's pokémon thinks that we can find him, than I think so too.

Someone's coming towards us. Rio alerted me. I looked up to where she was facing to see another lone person with several pokémon surrounding them running to us.

I spotted the red hair and called out "Silver!" Said boy looked up and ran faster. With him were Honchkrow, Exbo, Xatee, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, and a Mismagius who I guess belongs to Lyra.

"What happened to your group, man?" Black asked him.

"Take a guess." he glared at him as he panted. He spotted Serena standing with us. "If she's here, than where's Nee-san?"

Everyone became quiet. Clearly, no one wants to tell him, but can you blame us? He can be a bit unstable with his emotions. I thought I would be the one to tell him. "Silver, I 'm sorry, but Serena was the only spared from her group."

"What?!" Silver looked shocked. "Nee-san is gone? She got taken away by, whatever that thing is?!" anger was rising.

"Silver, calm down." My voice hard for the first time since I stepped out here. "We couldn't help whatever happened to our friends and don't you dare you go blaming any of us for not helping her. We all know we had no power over what happened to her."

His fists eventually went limp and from them, a black mask fell to the ground. We decided to stay in one spot as we waited for the others to find us. One by one, they did.

Lucy was left stumbling alone. With her was her partner pokémon, Piplup, Brent's partner pokémon, Treecko, Staraptor, Swellow, Ash's Eevee, Celebi and Victini. Barry nearly tackled into us. When the pokémon caught up with him, I saw there were only Max's Gallade, Chuchu, Jirachi, who Emerald and Yellow both befriended a while ago, and his Heracross. Kellyn was by himself. He only had his and his sister's Pachirisu, Keith's Buizel, Cresselia and Darkrai with him. Summer was the last one to reach us. She had Rin, Len, and Rhythmi and Isaac's Lucario travelling with her.

Each of them had a Banette mask with them. Clearly, we were all visited. But the real question is why we were the only ones left? Why not take all of us at once?

"Okay. Everyone who's left is here. What do we do now?" Silver asked.

"Stay together. We should minimize the amount of pokémon we have out with us." Kellyn suggested. We agreed with him. Black returned all of his pokémon who he had out as well as Silver, save for his Entei. Serena called back her Sylveon while Barry returned his Heracross. Lucy's Piplup just climbed up her shoulder as Celebi rested in her arms. Her other shoulder was occupied by Treecko and on her head was Victini. Eevee was sitting at her feet. Kellyn had both Pachirisu on his shoulders while Cresselia and Darkrai was floating behind him ominously. Buizel curled up around his feet. Summer had both Pichu on her shoulders while both Lucario were standing guard around us. I didn't bother returning any of my pokémon. They all could help in some way.

As for the others, well, we can't help them. We don't have their pokeballs to return any of them. Instead, they just milled around. Suddenly, the Three Beasts were engulfed in a flare of blue flames. Everyone gasped. We backed away from the spot. When the flame died, nothing was there. The Beasts were just, gone.

"Entei!" Silver cried out. Now they're going for pokémon? Great, this has just gotten worse. I heard a scream and turned around. Right were Lucy, Kellyn and Summer stood were three pillars of blue tinted fire. The screams died when the fire vanished. The three of them and the pokémon they had on them were gone.

"Okay! This is getting bad now! Really bad!" Barry exclaimed. "It's that stupid Horseman I tell ya! We have to get rid of these stupid masks somehow!"

"Scarlett, you have any idea?" Serena asked me.

"I-I..." I stuttered. My entire body was trembling. I felt my blood run cold. I could see my breath in front of me. I can't feel a thing. My arms, my hands, they feel like they're made of ice. My legs, I can't move them. I was frozen in place. Terror filled every ounce of my body as I dropped to my knees. I held my head in my hands. I can barely breathe.

What the hell's going on? Why are we getting picked off?! Why is it after us?! I closed my eyes shut. Suddenly, screams filled my head. Th-they were my screams. But I know I'm not screaming. Where are they coming from then?! Why does this fear feel so familiar?! Images flashed in my mind. I can't see them clearly. They didn't last long. Each one was only a split second, but I saw them long enough to know they weren't good. What the hell is this?!

A blood-curdling scream snapped me out though. I jerked my head up to see Black, Barry, and Serena and the pokémon with them erupt in that evil blue flame. I stared at where they once were to find nothing. I was alone. Save for my pokémon of course. They were the only ones left. Them and Silver.

"T-this can't be happening." I whispered.

"Scarlett? Scarlett! Get a hold of yourself!" I heard Silver right next to me, but he sounded so far away. So distant.

"Scarlett!" I finally snapped to attention when he started to shake me by my shoulders.

"What?" I looked at him.

"Don't worry about the others. We'll be fine. I know they're fine." he looked around at the darkness. "I've faced something like this before. If we just stayed calm, than we have nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about?!" I exploded. "What the hell are you talking about?! Our friends are gone! Your pokémon are gone! Everyone's gone!"

"Will you shut up?!" Silver yelled at me. I never saw him this mad before. I quietly closed my mouth. "This is not a time to panic. If you do, then you'll have your emotions take over. And trust me, in this situation; you don't want your emotions to take over. You can't think clearly or what you're doing."

"Than what do we do?" I asked him.

"First thing is that we stay calm. That's very important." Silver sighed. "Then we have to stay together."

"I think you already established that," I rolled my eyes.

"Listen, this is not a time to act sarcastic." Silver said. I raised a brow at him. "Okay, I'm a bad example, but still. We have to be calm and serious."

"Okay, I'm fine now." I took a deep breath.

"Are you sure you're good?" Silver asked me.

"I'm definite." I nodded.

"Okay, we only have your pokémon out with us. I think that should give us enough protection with the two of us here." Silver said.

"Silver?" I asked him. "How are you so calm in situation like this? I know you have a cold exterior, but you should still be somewhat scared." I said.

"I don't like to say it, but I've been through something like this before." he answered.

"You have?" I replied.

"Yes. Both me and Nee-san." he nodded. "It was when she was five and I was only three. We were both kidnapped from our families. We were brought to this strange castle in the middle of nowhere and we had to work for this Shadow Lady. Let me tell you that I wouldn't have made it through if it wasn't for Nee-san."

"Wow. I never knew that about you. I'm sorry." I shook my head.

"Don't be. It's not your fault. It was the Shadow Lady's fault. After a few years under her control, Nee-san and I escaped. It wasn't until she was ten and I was nine was when Red took us in.

"I see." I looked away. Somehow, the name shadow Lady sounded familiar to me, but I don't know how. And that castle, why does it look so familiar in my mind? It's almost like I could see what it actually looked like.

"Scarlett!" I snapped my head up. Right where Silver stood was a pillar of blue flames.

"Silver!" I screamed. I tried to reach out my hand to him, but he was gone in a flash. Just like that. He was gone.

It was just me. Alone.

"A-Ashley? Are you okay?" Mew floated down to me. Her light was the only thing that brought any kind of calmness to me. But it wasn't working this time. When I opened my mouth to reply, Sol was drowning in that blue fire. Rio was set ablaze next. Finally, Mew. Instead of words, a scream came out of my mouth. I reached out for my pokémon, my closest friends, but the flames died. I was left alone. I was truly alone.

Why. Why is this happening to me?! What did I do to deserve this kind of punishment?! What sin have I committed?! Tell me Arceus, what evil deed did I do to backlash this torture?!

I felt tears well up in my eyes. I closed them tight, sensing those tears rolling down my face. I placed my hands on the dark grass in front of me. I was crying so hard. I can't remember the last time I ever, ever felt this way. No. Wait. There was that one time, but I just can't-

The sound of a crackling fire brought me back to reality. I snapped my head up to see the top of the Performance Hall glowing like a red and orange flower. On the very top was a man on a black Rapidash with a fiery blue mane. Him. He was the one who caused this! Legend or not, I don't give a fuck, he was the being who ripped everything from me.

Terror quickly replaced by fury. I rose to my feet. I felt energy coursing through my veins. The cold was gone. I could only feel the rage building up. I felt my eyes flash a dark blue, maybe a purple, as I gathered up that energy in my hands. I'm not letting anyone else pay for whatever I have done.

I set my feet apart. I gritted my teeth together as I focused the aura in me into a concentrated sphere. I raised my arms in front of me that held the Aura Sphere in place. I aimed right for the Headless Horseman. Rage flowed through my veins. I witnessed my pale blue Aura Sphere swirl before deepening to a dark purple. I don't know what that means, but I don't care. He. Must. Pay.

Pushing the last of my energy in that Aura Sphere, I launched it. The orb sailed through the air before it collided with the phantom. The aura trapped inside was released and showered over the building. The flames flickered before withering away. The Horseman was blasted off the roof. The Aura Sphere broke into several smaller ones before scattering.

I fell to my knees. That attack took most of what I have inside of me. I raise one of my hands to my face. I thought I saw it flicker, but when I looked at it again, it was solid. Good, I'm not going to be gone yet. Not yet. I fell on my back and looked up and saw the stars above shining. Huh, I don't remember the stars shining that bright before. But it was so beautiful. I can't remember the last time I have seen anything like that before. I closed my eyes and blacked out.

"Scarlett. Wake up."

"Is she okay?"

"I don't know."

"She's been sleeping longer than the others have."

"Scarlett."

My eyelids fluttered open. I was blinded by the sudden bright lights. When I was used to it, I looked up to see my friends surrounding me.

"Hey! She's awake!" Black exclaimed.

"Scarlett? How are you feeling?" Yellow asked me.

I gasped. I shot up, but only to regret that decision when I felt something hit my forehead. I winced in pain as I placed a hand over it. I looked up to see that I butted heads with X. Whoops.

"Ow..." I groaned.

"Geez, what do you have? A metal plate in your skull?" X complained. I forgot the pain I was in and widen my eyes. I threw my arms around his neck.

"Thank Arceus you're here!" I whispered in his ear.

"Whoa!" he said. "Scarlett. It's fine. I'll always be here."

"I'm guessing you also experience the same dream as everyone else did." Max concluded.

"Dream?" I let go of X and turned towards him.

"Yes. Dream." Max nodded. "Seems like we all got a nightmare. Somehow, our rather large group here got a different, shared nightmare than everyone else."

"Is that possible?" Blue asked.

"Kellyn. Did your Darkrai get out again?" Kate glared at her twin.

"Heh, it would seem so!" Kellyn sweatdropped.

"At least no one got really hurt." Crystal sighed.

"But it was really cool though!" Lucy exclaimed.

"As long as that Headless Horseman wasn't real." Summer sighed. Suddenly, blue flames erupted on the main stage. I screamed when I saw them and grabbed X's arm tightly. The rest of the girls got the same idea as me and grabbed to whoever was the closest. I felt something under my hand and picked it up to see a Banette mask. I screamed again and threw into that forbidden fire. When it died down, I saw Dad all covered in burn marks and holes in his clothes.

"Sorry guys!" he yelled out. "Just an attempt at a grand entrance gone wrong!" he shouted before limping off stage.

"Oh, at least it wasn't the real Headless Horseman!" Lyra placed a hand over her heart.

"Say, what happened at the end of the dream?' Serena asked me.

"Oh, nothing." I said. "I guessed I just blacked out after you guys disappeared. Honestly, I don't remember a thing that happened!"

"Scarlett? Do you think you can let go of my arm? I can't feel it." X tapped my on my hand. I looked down to see X's arm turning blue.

"Sorry!" I cried as I let go of it.

"It's alright." he waved it off as he stood up. "Hope you're ready for a battle though. We still got those battles." he held a hand out for me to grab.

"I'm all up for it." I accepted his hand. He pulled me up as everyone else stood up. "Blue, I just hope you got an idea on how to explain this to everyone."

"I'm working on it!" Blue exclaimed. "Gary! You're taking half the blame if I get blamed for any of this!"

"Oh joy." he rolled his eyes as she picked him up by the collar.

Everyone else just laughed before walking towards the main stage. I thought I saw a dark purple flash on my hands, but it wasn't there anymore. It's nothing to worry about. I didn't even worry about that short second where my hand was fading.

Was it all a dream? Or was it real? Who knows? Maybe I don't even know?

And if anyone was wondering about the rangers, the same thing applies to the trainers. The legendaries will have their very brief spotlight in this chapter. That's it. They probably won't even make anotehr big appearance. Just tiny snippets here and there. They don't even add much to the story. I ust added them in there because I feel like it. So don't question it any further. Please. I'm tired of repeating myself.

Again, thank you for reading this. I am so grateful to see that people aare willing to read what I ave to write. Tahnk you all. As I said for two years, dont' forget ot review.
