Chapter 19 - Memories long forgotten.
"No! Kemper is gone!" D-5 said as he clenched his fists together. He reached into his backpack and pulled out the golden blade. It began to emit a bright glow, almost as if it were radioactive. The sword twitched with every step he took.
"I think it's trying to tell us something." D-4 said.
"What do you mean? It's a sword! It can't talk." D-5 answered trying to be smart. Although he still went in the direction the sword was going.
"Are you that stupid?" D-4 said to D-5's remark.
"Well I am your twin."
"Just, continue to go in the direction the sword is going."
D-5 does so and eventually the sword stops. It begins to glow even stronger as it neared the Pokéball that Trevor carried.
"What's it doing?" D-5 wondered out loud.
Suddenly the sword jerked forward and hit the middle of the ball realising the Suicune that was held within.
"Hey what's going on?"
Suicune sits down in front of D-5 and he bowed his head in respect for the Golden Blade.
"I am in your command." Suicune said to D-5 who was holding the Golden Blade.
"What?" D-5 asked. "I wasn't the one that caught you."
"But you are the one holding the Blade, unfortunately the others won't obey you." Suicune said in reply to his question.
"But I was the one that caught Raikou, will he listen to me?"
Suicune shook his head left to right in reply. "Nor will he listen to D-3. You do not posses they're power controller."
"Power Controller?" D-1 asks the dog of water.
"Yes, Power Controller. Mine is the Golden Blade. There are two more spread across the world. For Raikou, you need to posses the Staff of Ruins."
D-5 broke into a cold hard sweat when Suicune mentioned the staff of ruins. No one knew why his face turned so white. But D-4 was eager to find out why.
"What is it D-5?" D-4 asked, "Is it that part of your past?"
D-5 looked up with the sweat running down the side of his cheek. "Yes," he said as he took in a deep swallow and a sigh. "Long ago in my past."
"Well, don't just stand there tell us." D-3 said as the rest sat down to listen.
"It all happened after the children division of the Olympics, when I was eleven."
"Oh I remember that." Peter said. "I watched it on TV. You won gold in the floor exercises. You were doing amazing flips."
"Yes, thank you," D-5 said. "My friend Tao, who won Gold in the girls floor exercises, possessed something that enhanced her abilities to win. After the awards banquet she brought me to her room and showed me the staff. It was a thing of beauty…" D-5 finished before D-4 interrupted.
"What was a thing of beauty, Tao?"
"Well, she was," D-5, said with a twinkle in his eye. "But I'm referring to the staff. It appeared to be made out of wood, and had a metal brace around it to hold. The wood it's self had a few notches in it. But atop of the long staff was a giant gem, it glowed with the colours of the rainbow, through each prism-like structure came a different colour. She said it was called the aurora stone."
"Really? The Aurora stone?" D-4 asked him as he interrupted once again.
"That's what I just said stupid."
"Oh, Yeah that's right." D-4 said as he finally clued in. "Continue with your story."
"Anyways, she showed me her gloves, in them were small pieces of the stone which she had used to enhance her ability. I didn't know that was what they did at the time though, I just thought she liked them. When I got back home to Pallet Town, and when she went back to Viridian City, we really didn't stay in touch. But about a year later Professor Oak sent me on the Ho-Oh Journey, because he heard something about a Mystical bird from Ash Ketchum, and he was very interested in it. I told him I would go on the quest. But when I arrived in Viridian I got into a Pokémon battle with a trainer named Kane. I defeated him and allowed him to join on my quest, although every City we arrived in he wanted to battle their gym leader. I agreed, but before we managed to get out of the town we bumped into Tao, she wanted to come to. I allowed her to come as well as our cousin Kurt."
"Oh yeah, Kurt!" D-4 said, interrupting once again. "How is he know a days?"
"I don't know?" D-5 snapped back at him. "I was twelve in this part of the story, so stop interrupting!"
"Okay."
"Where was I?"
"I was asking about Kurt and then you got mad." D-4 said as the retort to his question.
"Oh yeah, that's right." D-5 said before continuing with the story. "When we managed to return to Viridian city Tao and I had made a small relationship and we had all managed to win all the badges. But I had yet to find the Ho-Oh so I had one last chance to look for it, and that was at Indigo Plateau and Victory Road. We all journeyed up through the cave known as Victory road and had reached the Indigo Plateau where the Elite four welcomed us. Just before I could go in I seen some rainbow flashes, there it was, the mystical Ho-Oh. I had to decline the offer to go into the stadium because I had to chase that bird. I did manage to catch up with it but I never knew how powerful it was at the time. I was still very young, I wasn't very skilled as a trainer but I knew my I couldn't stand up to that bird. As I drew closer to it , he raised his wings and began to growl at me. At that point I knew I had to run. Unfortunately, the Ho-Oh picked me up in a gust attack and blew me all the way to New Bark town."
"Oh yeah, that's when you caught up with me." D-3 said. "Right before I went to Professor Elm for my training."
"Yeah, when I finished the Johto League I called Tao, she appeared to have been going out with Kane all that time I was away."
They all stood up, from the ground and released their flying Pokémon.
"Go, Articuno!" D-3 said.
"Go, Pidgeot!" D-5 said.
"Go, Fearow!" D-4 said.
From out of the three Pokéballs appeared three bird-like creatures. One had a body full of brown feathers, with white tips on the end of its wings. Is face was white except for the black that surrounded it's eyes. It also had long hair that came from the top of it's head, with white in the middle and on either sides was purple. The same was with it's tail feathers, although the colours were switched around with purple in the middle and white on either sides. That was why D-5 favoured Pidgeot.
The bird that D-4 called out a light brown texture to it's ruffled feathers. Even its wings had the same texture apart from the frosted tips of white. On it's head was a marvellous red crest that appeared to be made from bone then feathers. It also had a long, thin beak, which it used to pluck and eat insects that hide under ground.
Out of the last Pokéball appeared a rather tall bird. One of the most valued at that. It's gentle shade of blue made it blend in with the afternoon skies. Its long tail sparkled in flight as it chilled the moisture of the atmosphere to create snow. It had a rather small beak and the crest atop its head is formed from three blue feathers.
D-5, D-3, and D-4 all jumped on their flying birds and took off, leaving the golden blade, Suicune, D-1, Peter, and Trevor left.
"So now we'll go out for the last Power Controller." D-1 said to Suicune. "But what is it?"
"No! Kemper is gone!" D-5 said as he clenched his fists together. He reached into his backpack and pulled out the golden blade. It began to emit a bright glow, almost as if it were radioactive. The sword twitched with every step he took.
