CHAPTER 15: Hope Lost?
K. was blacked out for at least an hour. During the fall, K. had hit her head, but that was the least of injuries. Kiou, on the other hand, had a sprained ankle and cuts on him. He was, by far, the worse off. Dark Demon was the first to awaken. "Brreee-on?" It said it in a harsh, shrill voice. T had just awoken from a nap; it wasn't really hurt at all. Cerberus was nowhere to be seen. K. startled as she opened her eyes. "Cerberus! Where are you-uuu?" K. called. A mourning whine came from the shadows. Green eyes pocked through the darkness. "Here I am, shug. I was looking for the ball you dropped. It's...lost. I'm sorry. I'll search more-Oh my gosh! Your head! It has a huge bruise, and a bump! How is Kiou looking, shug?"
K. got up, slowly and dizzily, and looked at Kiou. He was still out. Of course he would be, thought K., He fell twenty feet down. Then again, we all did. "Kiou! Wake up! Your bleeding bad; we need to get out of here!" K. hollered as she pulled herself off the side of the ledge she was on. Kiou squirmed and said, "K.. K.! I landed on these rocks, I can't get up! Where's Dark Demon?! Dark Demon, come here boy!" Kiou gasped. "K.!!! OH MY GAWD! IT'S SUICUNE!!!!!" K. was joined up by Cerberus. Cerberus was holding an Item. "Here, I always hold Moo-Moo Milk for occasions like this. Share with Kiou, shug." K. drank, and passed the milk to Kiou. K.'s eyes never left the rocks---the shaped gargoyles. Kiou drank. "Now then. I have never seen Suicune. Is it the God yer looking fer? I heard a lot about Entei and Raikou. Suicune too, " Cerberus said. K sniffed loudly. "Suicune ....Wake up! You...You have dust all over you." "It's not dust, K. They somehow have turned into rocks." Kiou explained, knocking on a shaggy looking dog Pokemon statue.
"What are these Mon doing turned stone for? Cerberus? Explain, please," said k. Cerberus's eyes turned pale. She began to say, slowly but surly, "There is legend that there were once three rulers under Human God that watched Earth from above for millions of years. These "look outs" where placed on Earth when Earth was created. Alas, they were very powerful. One was an Ice god, and whatever did something bad, lest be slaughtering a lamb for sacrifice, or men quarreling over land, the God would lie Ice upon them and then leave them alone. The God wanted Peace for everyone, so it punished anything wrong, mean, or anything bullish.
"There was also was an Electric God, Riakou, and it was swift and logical. He thought things through and planned plans for the Humans, hoping that the humans would listen and obey. And perhaps the strongest Mon, Entei. Legend claims that the guardian Entei was the one that made it and it's friends names 'Gods' instead of 'Guardian.' Entei is very power-hungry, and he loves war. But, so they claim, Entei has a caring heart and is most kind to its fellow Gods. But if Humans get involved with Entei, proverb says it will destroy Earth if it is too angry. 'Nother proverb says that he will not destroy earth, but lead the Humans to war until Peace has risen and Entei and it's God friends shall return to earth. They will ONLY return to earth, however, if peace is broken, and it must be restored." Cerberus concluded. "Sooo... The Gods came top earth to make peace? By turning into stone?" K. said. "I guess that their power powers were to strong so they had to contain them, right Cerberus?" Kiou suggested. "No. Legend Pokemon have many a-great abilities.
"Another Proverb of Legends and Ancient Gods claims that if Suicune, Entei and Raikou turned to Earth fleeing from capture, then they would hide and turn to stone. This way, even if they are caught, they are useless for they are now gargoyles." Cerberus implied. K. started to wail. "So now they will be stone forever? Suicune may be a God and I mortal, but I wanted us to be friends. I never even thought of catching Suicune. Heck, I won't even give Suicune a nickname! Now it's stone! Forever!" "No, no, shug. Sorry to make you wrong, but they only way they-Suicune, Entei and Raikou can be turned back to flesh, is if a pure hearted person touches them. The pure hearted person has love, and the love flows through the fingers to the now-stone Pokemon, and the love revives the Gods." "Oh! So lets try this! K., touch them! I'll touch them too! Heck, maybe even our Pokemon can touch them!" Said Kiou. K. gasped.
"OH NO! I dropped one of my Poke balls! What now?" But along came Dark Demon, drooling all over a bent up Fast Ball. He dropped the ball at K.'s feet. "Bree! Umbreion! Hsscccth!" Dark Demon said. K. pushed the release mechanism. Out popped Sparkz, the Quilava. It appeared un harmed, but not afraid either. "Leevee-ah!" Sparkz said. She hopped on K.'s knees, laughing in her own language. She was very happy to see K. was not hurt, along with everyone else. Hey, I'll put my paw on one, sounded like "Lava lava lee. Quill. Quilava." K. got the message, though, and lifted Sparkz up to a dangerous tiger-looking Pokemon that had a spark for a tail. "This must be ... Riakou?" K. asked, and Cibberous nodded. Sparkz started his head and butt flames as he touched the face gently of the God. Light shimmered across the, then died. Not the one. "I don't think it will work on the others then. Thanks, girl. You tried. That's what mattered." K. said. Umbreion touched Raikou, and the same thing happened. Soon all the Mon touched the Gods. None of them had the "magic touch." Kiou went up and petted Suicune. "wake unto me! Cammanding you is Kiou!" Not even light flickered across the body of Suicune. Definitely not the One. K. went next. Sparks flew from her fingers and for a moment, Suicune's eyes glazed. But that was all. Cerberus had hoped K. would be the One. The Houndoom sighed. K. cried in despair. "Now what?" she said. "I guess we wait until the Rockets are defeated in a few years or whatever, then ask the planet's population to touch the Gods until we find The One," Kiou said, defeated.
What was there left to do? Maybe the crew should just find away out of this pit and leave. K. had finally given up hope. And hope is all K. had left.....
