The Messenger part 7: Fight the Land, Seas, and Darkness
By Xen
Maximus was walking along a dock. "What's with these trainers and being around water. You think that these land-based masters would want to be on solid ground? But no, they have to be around water. This jacket can't get wet you know. Well let's see the fighting master should around here. Ah there he is." Maximus walks up to a guy in a tank top. "Excuse me are you Umio?"
"That's me. What you want?"
"I'm a messenger, I'm here to give you a message."
"Well what kind of message?"
"You're summoned for Training."
"Training? Me? Don't you know who I am?"
"Well I can tell you that you are the fighting master."
"Fighting master? You must dumber then a sack of bricks. I'm a water pokemon trainer. That's why I'm training at ocean. If I was a fighting pokemon training I be at a gym."
"You think you're a water trainer, but you will see your true path once you remember." Maximus unsheathed his sword.
"Whatever you plan on doing with that, you're not going to do. Gyarados, sick him." Maximus looked around.
"Um, where is it? You didn't throw the pokeball. I don't see it." A large bubbling sound came for the shore as the Gyarados emerged. "Ah, it was in the ocean. Clever."
"Bite his head off." The Gyarados lunged towards Maximus, but Maximus leaped out the way.
"Now that's not very nice."
"Gyarados, hyper beam." The Gyarados threw its head back and unleashed a beam of energy. The beam stuck Maximus and when it faded, nothing was there. "Good Gyarados, you got him."
"That's it now I'm ticked." A voice said form above. Umio looked up to see Maximus high in the air. Maximus quickly came down. "That almost burned my boots off." Smoke came form Maximus boots.
"I don't believe that! That beam hit you."
"It almost did, and now there is punishment." Maximus jumped up into the air and slash down at the Gyarados. The blade glowed white as it cut off the head of the Gyarados.
"My Gyarados... You killed it you murderer!"
"It almost killed me. And I don't like dying. Now to business." Maximus pointed the blade at Umio. "Unlock." A beam came form the blade and stuck Umio. The light became a deep red color. "And now a parting gift." Maximus threw Umio a pokeball. A Machoke stood before Umio and turned white. The body of the Machoke surrounded Umio. When the glowing stopped, Umio was wearing a pair of spiked gloves on his hands and armored boots on feet. "I can't believe this! I almost burn off my boots and brand new ones. Life just ain't fare." Umio bowed down to Maximus
"I am sorry that I attacked you, great messenger." Maximus raised his eyebrows.
"Okay you're a strange boy. Let's just go."
------------------------------------------------
Maximus walk down a road till he got to a large tent. "Man that's an ugly tent. Let's see AJ pokemon gym. Four hundred and twenty seven wins no losses. Well if this guys isn't cut out to be a master, I don't know who could." Maximus entered the tent. A boy with green hair was cracking a whip to a Sandslash that was lifting weights.
"Come on Sandslash! Lift those weights. You're starting to slack. You almost lost to an Oddish last week. An Oddish! Now lift!"
"What in world are you trying to do to that pokemon. I've never seen a buffer pokemon in my life!" Maximus said behind AJ.
"What the? Who are you? What do want?"
"I'm a messenger. I've come to give you a message."
"What kind of message?"
"That you are the ground master. And that I've come to take you for training."
"Me? Training? Now, why do you think I would need training?"
"For the war, what else."
"A war? What you talking about?"
"You'll see in time." Maximus unsheathed his sword.
"Hey don't you go puling that kind of stuff on me. Sandslash attack!" The Sandslash dropped its weights.
'Dam I can't kill it, Its the ground masters pokemon. I guess I got to subdue it.' Maximus lunged forward and punched the Sandslash in the head. The Sandslash still stood. "That not good."
"My Sandslash has armor tougher then steel. Your little punch wouldn't do anything to him. Now Sandslash attack!" The Sandslash leaped forward and slashed at Maximus. Maximus managed to avoid the slash attack.
'I hope this works.' Maximus swung his sword in the air creating a mass of pollen to appear form the blade. Sandslash came into the pollen and fell to the ground.
"Sandslash! What did you do to it!"
"Sleep powder. Now for you. Unlock." The blade shot a beam and stuck AJ. The color changed to a to a light brown color. "Now your pokemon." Maximus picked Sandslash up and handed it to AJ. The pokemon changed when AJ touched it. What had once been a Sandslash was now a mace. To be more precise a ball and chain. Upon the chain, were a bunch of spikes, which looked like a Sandslash when, curled up.
"I must train now. Take to me to my training ground."
"Ok. ok. Don't be in such a rush. We going now." Maximus raised his sword. "Teleport." The two vanished form the gym.
--------------------------------------------------------
Maximus appeared in front of a pokemon center. The sun was down and the forest around was covered in a blanket of night. "This is were the dark master is. I know she's here, but I don't know who? Why can't you pin point where she is?" Maximus asked his blade. Well maybe its because her pokemon is with her. It's preventing me form seeing her, but why?" Maximus entered the pokemon center. The center looked pretty much empty. "Hello is anyone here?" A nurse Joy came out form the back.
"Yes, how may I help you."
"Um, yes I'm so post to meet someone here. Is they're anyone else here?"
"No, I'm the only one here. Other then the pokemon."
"Oh, I see. Then I've come for you."
"For me? Who are you?"
"I am a messenger. I've come to give a message."
"A message?"
"Yes, a message. You are to come with me." Maximus took out his sword.
"What do you want form me?" Joy said as she backed away slowly.
"You shall see, when you remember." Maximus pointed his sword at her. "Unlock." The beam shot forth form the blade and stuck Joy, knocking her down. The light turned form white to a black, as dark as night itself.
"No no no no no NO!" Nurse Joy said as she rocked back and forth. "I'm that kind of person. I can't be that, there must be someone else. I am not the darkness."
"What the?"
"I can't be that. I can't be that. I'm not that at all." Nurse Joy quickly ran out of the pokemon center.
"Dam it. Her memories must have surfaced without her weapon." Maximus said as he ran after her. "And just my luck she found something she doesn't like. To bad, I have no idea what could make her life like that. I just hope I find her and get her back. After all I don't get paid, if I don't get her!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nurse Joy continued running till she fell to the ground. "I can't do that. I can't do that. I'm not the darkness." She kept saying to herself. Suddenly a noise came form the bush. Joy looked up to see a small dark figure coming towards her. "No. Not you. Stay back. I don't want you." The Figure came closer to reveal itself. It was a black cat like pokemon, with spikes down its back and large forearms. The pokemon kept coming closer. "No stay back. I don't want to. No! Just stay away." The pokemon leapt onto Nurse Joy. The pokemon then stated to glow and change shape. When the changing stopped Nurse Joy was holding a large scythe. The entire scythe was black and the blade looked like it was absorbing the light near it making the area around Joy darker. "Why did you? Why? I don't want to do this. I'm a healer I can't be that. I can't be death." Nurse Joy broke down and started weeping. Maximus came up to her shortly after. When she got close, she held her weapon to him. "Stand back. I'm not going with you. I don't want to go."
"And what are you going to do? You going to try and kill me?" Maximus could see the look of sorrow in Joy's eyes. She stood there keeping the blade in position that could slice Maximus in two. The blade of the scythe trembled in the air. Finally, Joy lowered her weapon.
"I can't." She sobbed.
"But you will learn in time." Joy backed away and raised her weapon.
"I don't want to. I can't do that. I can't."
"But you must. It is your destiny."
"My destiny is same of all Joy's. I am a healer. I can't kill. I'm not that kind of person. It is my destiny to help others."
"That is still your destiny. However, to help you must destroy the coming evil. That is why you must learn to kill, other wise it would all be for nothing."
"How can you say things like that! No one should die so things maybe better."
"But that is the way things are. Besides your to be coming with me."
"I won't."
"And what are you going to do? Kill me? You said yourself you can't do it." Joy's scythe began to waver in her hands. Finally she lowered her weapon.
"I can't." Maximus held her.
"Do not worry, you will in time. Let us go, the others are waiting."
"But I can never kill."
"You will, when the time comes. Wait till someone's try to kill you, then say you can't kill. After all that what makes us human."
