About an hour later we got back on the road. I returned the others to their Pokeballs. It was just Kirlia and I. As we walked, we got confronted by a couple of Pokefans. I let Kirlia have her fun with them.

"Well someone looks happy." I said as I grabbed her hand.

"Yep." She replied.

"And why's that?" I asked.

"Am I not allowed to be happy?" She asked in response.

"No, you are, I was just curious." I said.

"Oh, okay." She said. "But, if you must know, it's because I like to battle and I'm having a blast."

"Sounds good to me." I said.

"Mm-hmm." Kirlia hummed. "Those Plusle and Minun were easy though."

"Yeah but the desert is coming up, so it should be a little tougher. I said trying to reassure her.

After a few minutes, we saw the little desert area. We decided to start going. I saw a bunch of what looked like archaeologists. there were a bunch of people having what looked like picnics too. All I could think was: "Are you crazy?"

We didn't get challenged by too many people, except for a guy with a Sandslash. We did get attacked by a wild Trapinch though. I decided it would be good to catch. I decided to give Swampert another go.

"Swampert get its attention with Mud Shot." I called.

The Trapinch then dug underground.

"Aww it ran away." I said upset. "That sucks I wanted to catch that."

But then as I was whining, Swampert got knocked over. The Trapinch didn't run, it was using Dig.

"Okay, that was dirty." I commented. "Swampert, Muddy Water!"

I got a direct hit as it jumped back up and countered with Crunch.

"Use another Muddy Water!" I called again.

But, this one missed as Trapinch used Earthquake. As that hit a had Swampert use another Muddy Water. When this hit, Trapinch started to glow.

"Oh crap." Was all I had time to say as I chucked a Great Ball at it. The currently evolving creature got sucked into the ball and then, I watched it shake. Once, twice, but then the ball opened up and out came an enraged Vibrava.

"Swampert use Rock Slide!" I called.

Vibrava dodged as a single rock seemed to slightly graze its wing. It then countered with Dragon Breath.

"Use Mud shot to counter." I said.

The two attacks collided but then a flying figure flew threw the smoke, landing a Crunch and taking down my Swampert.

"Kirlia you're up." I said as I recalled Swampert. "Use Confusion."

As the bluish light surrounded Vibrava and closed dealing some damage. I saw a bunch of Rocks fall down onto Kirlia. She looked to be okay. Despite my uneasiness at her getting her, I decided to leave her in.

"Use Psybeam!" I called.

Vibrava countered with Dragon Breath.

"Teleport behind it and use Disarming Voice!" I said.

I saw Kirlia disappear and the reappear behind Vibrava, then I covered my ears as she opened her mouth and let out a deafening sound. I could see Vibrava in pain from it so as soon as she stopped I threw another Great Ball. This one shook all three times, then went to the PC.

"Woo, that one was tougher than I thought it would be." I said.

"Yeah, you're telling me." Kirlia replied sarcastically.

"Here, drink some of my water, you look thirsty." I offered.

"Okay thank you." She replied as she took it. "Ah that hit the spot. That really helped."

With that we continued walking. We were moving kind of fast as to get to a Pokemon Center to get Swampert some help. We made some decent time too. We were nearing the edge of the desert when we were targeted by a Cacnea. I know that Cacnea can use Poison attacks so I was going to use Mawile because of her immunity due to being Steel type. But, before I could do so, Kirlia was already in place.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked. "I mean, you did just take down strong Vibrava."

"Yeah, I'm sure." she replied.

"Okay." I responded.

The Cacnea jumped forward with a Drain Punch. It hit Kirlia dead on.

"Use Psybeam!" I called.

The colorful beam hit Cacnea who got close to use needle arm. I thought I saw it spit something but I ignored it.

"Kirlia dodge and use Confusion." I yelled out.

She did as I told her and the Cacnea went down.

"Wow that one was weak." i commented.

I decide to throw a Pokeball at this one too. It doesn't hurt to catch more.

"Whew." Kirlia sighed as she went to catch her breath. "Let's get the heck outta here."

"Yeah." I agreed completely. "This place sucks."

With that we headed out of the desert and I grabbed her hand again.

"Kirlia, are you feeling alright? You look weak." I asked

"I do feel a little down but I'm fine I don't need the Pokeball." Kirlia replied

"I could carry you if you want then you don't have to walk or be in the ball." I offered being genuinely worried for her. "Then we will stop by the next pokemon center we see."

"Okay that sounds goo-" She started to answer but cut off early.

She stopped her sentence short and her hand slipped from mine. When I turned to look, she was face down.

"Oh no! Kirlia!" I yelled.

By yelling I was attempting to get an answer from her. It was all in hopes that she was pulling a cruel joke. I tried shaking her a little while yelling her name more. "Kirlia! Kirlia!" But to no avail. I was terrified at this point. My girlfriend was lying on the ground unconscious.

At this point I stopped thinking. I picked her up and took off sprinting full speed towards the nearest Pokemon Center. It took about two hours with the breaks I had to take like every ten minutes or so. I was so exhausted but worried at the same time. When we got there it was crowded but lucky the other trainers were just hanging out. So I fought my way up to the front counter.

"Nurse, Nurse! Please help, my Kirlia fainted out of the clear blue. We were just walking and she fell over. I'm scared, can you help her?" I spat out all at once.

"Just calm down and we will see what we can do. I'll take her into the back and run some tests." Nurse Joy said with a soothing tone.

"Thank you very much." I replied much calmer now.

I just waited outside of the E R for what seemed like hours. Then I heard the dinging from the light above the E R room. Which meant that they were done. I saw Nurse Joy come out of the room with a very serious look on her face.

"Do you have any more Pokemon on you?"

-Nurse Joy's Point of view-

I was watching the center of the lobby because it was packed. This was a weird time too normally it isn't even this full at night. Then, I saw a boy rush in and push past everybody. He looked terrified.

"Nurse, Nurse! Something is wrong with my Kirlia we were walking and she just fell over. I think something might be really wrong. Can you please help her, please." The boy sputtered while out of breath.

"Yes just calm down and wait out here. I'll take her into the E R and run some tests and tell you once I've fixed the illness." I replied.

I took her in the E R and started the tests. At first it looked like she was just overworked, but then I found it. There was a kind of poison.

"This couldn't be a poison from a Pokemon attack." I thought to myself. "She is a Psychic type Pokemon, there is now way that a poison from a Pokemon attack could have affected her this much. She could be in serious danger."

I worked at it for about and hour. Then I eventually cured it. It was unsettling that a simple antidote didn't work for some reason. But, all in all it's taken care of so everything is fine.

"The only way a Psychic type Pokemon can get a poison like this is if a person injects it into their body." I thought to myself again. "He isn't going to get this Pokemon back. We need to keep it safe."

I got a hold of the police and told them of my situation.

"Hello, Fallarbor Police Station, what seems to be the issue?" Asked the familiar voice on the other end.

"Hello, Officer Jenny, it's Nurse Joy." I replied.

"Oh, hello." Jenny said slightly less enthusiastic. "Another underage drinking that I need to take care of?"

"No, not at all." I replied again. "A trainer brought in an unconscious Pokemon. Upon check-up, I found that the Pokemon had a poison that was injected by its trainer. The Pokemon was a Psychic type and was getting effected by said poison really bad. There is no reason it should have hit her that hard."

"Okay, try to stall him there." Jenny instructed. "When we get there, we will take him for questioning."

"Okay, thank you." I said.

With that, I hung up and got ready to go out to him. I worked up to the most serious face I could and then confronted him.

"Do you have any other Pokemon by any chance. Your Kirlia was poisoned and it was contagious. So we would like to check on your other Pokemon."

"My other Pokemon haven't left their Pokeballs today. Kirlia battled a wild Cacnea and fainted about a half an hour later."

"Okay but while I'm at it should I give them a check up?

"Okay, I guess." He reluctantly agreed.

He said okay so I took his other Pokemon and waited for Jenny. I signaled for her to come on in to get him as soon as she arrived.

-Tony's PoV-

"Tony you are under arrest." Jenny started. "For injecting a fatal poison into your Pokemon."

That just happened out of no where. I was sitting there eager awaiting an answer on what's going on with Kirlia and to get my other Pokemon back.

"You're not referring to me? Are you?" I asked.

"Is there anyone else here?" She asked sarcastically.

She gave me a cold stare. Then she walked over to me and grabbed my arm. Then she put a cuff on my wrist.

"Hey, let me go!" I yelled.

"No, you're done here." She said.

"I didn't do anything like that though, I'm just getting my Kirlia help after a battle. Let me go." I demanded.

She then proceeded to pull me out the door and towards her car. Then I felt something grab my leg and hold me back, as well as some slack on my arm. I turned around to see Kirlia holding onto my leg. Then she jumped into my free arm. I wrapped my arm around her to hold her.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Jenny asked. "Put her down let's go."

I could hear Kirlia in my head now and i could tell that Jenny heard too.

"No." Kirlia said.

"What?" Jenny asked back.

"I'm not letting go, I love him, he's my mate." Kirlia said.

"Oh so he makes you say this with abuse." Jenny assumed.

"What? NO!" Kirlia replied.

"Enough, Joy! Get her Pokeball." Jenny yelled.

Right after hearing that, Kirlia pulled me into a kiss while she could. I closed my eyes for it and then all of a sudden the girl I was holding onto, was lost from my arms. I was ready to cry. Then I got pulled into the cop car. I had lost my last chance to fight it. I was getting taken away, and may never see her again.

Sorry shorter chapter, it's been a while and I should have something put up for the few people who still have faith. This just seems like a decent stopping point. Like I said earlier though, I have no intention of letting this story die.
