"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" I screamed.
… As you may recall, my part of the story left off with me jumping off of a colossal moving Ferris wheel head first to get a pokeball I know nothing about so I can catch the homicidal Rampardos trying to kill us… Yeah, extremely poor planning on my part. Anyway, let's get back to me plunging to my doom.
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I thrashed my hands out in a feeble attempt to grab onto something. I looked directly in front of me. I was going to hit one of the steel beams holding one of the carriages. Face first. "There's no way in hell I'm going to die like this! I'm gonna die honorably on the crapper like Elvis!" I turned on to my side in midair so that it was my left arm that was going to crash into it first and at full force. It was gonna hurt like hell but at least I wasn't gonna hit my head…
"Ouch…" Lily cringed at the resounding CRACK and cursing that followed my impact.
"SON OF A BITCH PUSSY JAWBREAKER DICK IN A BLENDER CUNT DOORKNOB DOUCHE PISTOL TREE PENIS!" I screamed out of agony. "HOLY FUCKING JESUS, SOMEONE HELP ME! MY ARM DIDN'T JUST BREAK, IT FUCKING SHATTERED! OH GOD, I'M DYING!"
"Shouldn't we help him?" Lily asked Darkrai.
"Nah, it's what he gets for being a dumb shit… Aw crap! We've got company!" The Hazard Wheel had just finished half of its revolution, so that Lily and Darkrai's carriage was at the bottom and Rampardos' was at the top. The steel beam that I crashed into was turned vertically, sending me sprawling down to the ground once more.
"Oh god not again…" I snapped my eyes closed and waited for the impact to come again… But it didn't. I opened my eyes again to see that I somehow had stopped in midair. "Why do I suddenly have the urge to sing "Defying Gravity" from the musical Wicked?"
"Please don't…" Darkrai muttered. I turned around in the air to see Darkrai staring up at me from down below with one of his hands outstretched to me. It finally dawned on me that he was the one keeping me in the air with his Psychic attack. "What the hell were you thinking kid? I told you that I need you alive you dumb shit! If I lose you then I lose my home, damn it!"
"It's so comforting to see your concern for me…" I said sarcastically. Darkrai was about to say something back when Rampardos shot down at us with another Flamethrower attack. Darkrai lost his hold on me, letting me drop unceremoniously next to Lily (who fainted again when she saw the Flamethrower attack…).
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! MY OTHER ARM! I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GONNA LOSE THEM IF THESE KEEPS HAPPENING (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)!" I hadn't hit this arm nearly as bad as the other one but the combined pain was making feel lightheaded… I gritted my teeth so I could fight back the tears and rolled onto my back.
"Stay here," Darkrai commanded, slowly drifting higher into the air. "I'll take this thing out in a few minutes…" His fists glowed bright blue momentarily before he sped off towards the top of the wheel. Rampardos noticed this and made its own fists start glowing as well. I looked towards the center of the Hazard Wheel again.
"We could end this so easily if I can just get to that damn ball…" I thought. The ride was almost three quarters of the way through its first revolution, meaning that our carriage was almost horizontal to the center of the wheel… "Quick! Jenie, shoot a Water Gun at the generator Darkrai activated earlier. It didn't really feel right commanding Lily's pokemon but now wasn't the time to get picky.
(Why the hell should I help you?) She asked crossing her arms.
(Don't be such a bitch Jenie. Just do what he says.) Grith replied.
(What did you just say?!)
(Geez, get the corn out of your ears… I said quit being a bitch and do what he says!)
(That's it! You're dead!) She fumed before firing a stream of water at her companion. Grith nonchalantly ducked under the blast, only getting the tip of his tail wet in the process. The Water Gun ricocheted off of one of the steel beams and hit the generator below, just as I planned. The ride came to a full stop at last.
"Nice job Grith!" I said scratching him behind the ears. A surge of pain went up my arm as I did that but I tried my best not to show how much pain I was in. "Uh… I'd run if I were you," I warned. Grith ran out of the way as a second Water Gun soared over our heads. The two pokemon ran in circles around the unconscious Lily shooting Water Guns and Flamethrowers at each other.
"How come every pokemon I come in contact with is a useless prick?" I asked myself. Oh well, I didn't really need those two now. Cautiously, I stepped onto the steel beam supporting our carriage. Just as I expected, it was horizontal to the center of the wheel. All I had to do now was walk across and get the Hazard Ball… Easy, right?
Wrong…
Darkrai's and Rampardos' Focus Punches collided with each other, sending out a shockwave throughout the Hazard Wheel. The ride lurched, causing me to fall backwards onto my ass and all the other carriages to sway violently. I looked up at the fierce battle taking place up top.
At first, it looked like Darkrai was winning very easily. His superior speed allowed him to get the upper hand. He was punching so fast that it looked like it had several more arms than he actually did. One particularly nasty uppercut sent the Rampardos careening over the edge of the carriage they were fighting on.
"Too easy…" Darkrai said gloatingly. It cupped its hands together and a sphere of black energy formed in its hands. I recognized it as a Shadow Ball attack right before Darkrai rammed it into Rampardos' chest, sending it falling over the side. I cringed when I heard it smack against some of the steel beams as it fell and finally crash landed into the ground.
"Oh yeah! Who's bad ass? I'm bad ass!" Darkrai gloated flexing his nonexistent muscles. "Does any lady Darkrai want to feel these guns?"
"Dumb shit…" I said. I looked back towards the ground to check if the Rampardos was truly dead. "It… Disappeared!?" I jumped back onto my feet and rubbed my eyes. It was nowhere to be found… "Nothing can survive a fall like that and even if it did, there should at least be a fucking body…" I took yet another look. I could have sworn I saw a few flashes of light but I ignored the thought. It was probably just sparks of electricity coming off the generator…
Oh man was I wrong…
With no reason to go after the Hazard Ball anymore I backpedaled a few steps until I hit a wall. Wait a minute. There are no walls on a Ferris Wheel… I put my less damaged arm behind me to feel this 'wall'.
"It has scales…" I said. I moved my hand farther up. "It has a snout… And an egg-like protrusion from the top of its- Oh shit…" I don't know how but… The Rampardos had found me…
(You're next…) It whispered in my ear. I don't know what scared me more, the venomous quality to its voice or the fact that I could actually understand it… Momo said something about telepathic connections between trainers and Hazard pokemon but didn't I have to catch it first…? I spun around on the spot but it was already gone…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Darkrai shrieked from above. I looked up to see it free falling through the air with a large gash on its side. I'm sure he doesn't have blood (or organs for that matter) so it looked like something ripped a chunk out of him… Just before he hit a steel beam, a gray and blue blur appeared under him. The blur materialized into the Rampardos. It smirked fiendishly to itself as its tail started glowing…
"DARKRAI LOOK OUT!" I yelled. It was too late. Rampardos had already sent Darkrai soaring back into the air with its Iron Tail attack. It was kind of like baseball. Rampardos' tail was the bat and Darkrai's face was the ball… Darkrai flipped in the air and came to a full stop just above the top of the Hazard Wheel. He clutched at the gash on its side and his face. He was breathing heavily and cursing under his breath.
"What the fuck just happened…?" He thought out loud. "Just when I thought it was down, it appeared next to me and hit me with a Dragon Claw when I had my guard down… Does thing have the power to teleport?"
(Nope.) I heard Rampardos say. It had reappeared behind Darkrai just like it had done with me but one thing was different… It was floating.
Darkrai spun around and shot a Thunderbolt at it at point blank range. Rampardos merely smirked and took the attack head on. It stood its ground (er… air) even though the attack ripped through the scales on its chest. It wiped some of the blood off and licked its blood stained claws.
(Yes… Blood! I want to see blood!) It roared. It had returned to the savage nature we saw from before. I remembered something I learned in school about lizard pokemon (and the occasional Sharpedo). Being voracious meat eaters, all kinds of lizard pokemon's instincts for battle are multiplied, making them extremely beastly hunters. This bastard let itself bleed on purpose to heighten its power…
Rampardos pseudo-teleported behind Darkrai once more and knocked it down into one of the carriages with a Focus Punch. Now prepared this time, Darkrai shot a Dark Pulse attack at the carriage to retard his fall. He flew backwards due to the kickback from the attack. It turned in the air and tossed a Thunderbolt in the shape of a javelin at Rampardos. Rampardos' became a blur, disappeared and reappeared at Darkrai's side and swiped at him with a Dragon Claw.
Darkrai ducked under the Dragon Claw and counterattacked with a Dark Pulse at point blank range; sending them both sprawling backwards through the air. Rampardos flipped backwards and came to a full stop, mirroring what Darkrai did before. Darkrai, however, was too weak to come to a stop and crashed into the windows of the adjacent carriage. It supported itself by clinging to one of the window's frames.
"How-How are y-you able to-to fight me in the air?" Darkrai asked in between his own deep breathing. Rampardos smirked maliciously at his opponent. Its entire body shined bright white for a second.
(Hehehe… It's simply amazing what a little shine could do to change a battle…) It replied. Not exactly getting what that meant, I pulled Sophie out of my pocket.
"Sophie? Can you scan that thing for any abnormalities?" I asked the distressed pokedex.
"You mean besides the fact that it's a freak of nature and a sin against God himself?"
"Yes…"
"Scanning… Hmm… Its speed has increased dramatically from when we first encountered it…"
"Speed?" I looked back towards the ground. Those flashes I saw earlier… They were eerily similar to the way Rampardos just flashed. "That's it! It's been using Rock Polish to increase its speed ever since Darkrai knocked it down!" I realized.
(Bingo! Ding ding ding! We have a winner!) Rampardos said. (The meat bag's (Me: …Meat bag?) absolutely correct. I am moving so fast that I defy gravity itself!) It flew up even higher and taunted us by cart wheeling and dashing around so randomly that it became nothing more than a blue and gray blur. It was cackling madly all the while. This thing was insane…
"Let's see… Rampardos plus stupidly high strength plus uberly high speed plus the mind of a criminal genius plus a sadistic nature plus a thirst for blood equals…" I said.
"DEATH! DEATH TO ALL THAT EXISTS! TREMBLE IN FEAR AND PRAY FOR SALVATION, FOR THE ANTICHRIST HAS BEEN BORN!" Sophie promptly finished for me. I couldn't say I disagreed with her either…
(HAHA! Now you fools are getting it! I AM GOD!) It shouted before bellowing out a loud, savage, unintelligible roar. (… And this god desires blood! I WANT TO SEE IT! I WANT TO SMELL IT! I WANT TO TASTE IT! I WANT TO BATHE IN IT! GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD!" It opened its maw wide open. A sphere of pulsating blue energy appeared in between its top and bottom jaws. I immediately recognized it as a Dragon Pulse attack. I watched in horror as the blast rushed down towards Darkrai. Instead of hitting him, it sailed over its head and through the window that Darkrai collided with. The attack hit the floor of the carriage, causing the entire carriage to explode on contact.
"DARKRAI!" I screamed as my friend became engulfed in the cloud of smoke, fire and twisted, burning metal…
