"Alright. I'll pay," said Jason, and he tossed me a pokéball. I opened it right there. I wasn't going to be swindled. It was a Growlithe. I nodded to Simon.

He held the stone out to Jason, and he took it. Soon enough, Flareon was an Eevee again, but I knew that wouldn't last.

"This game's not over yet, Keya!" said Jason as he, Leria, and Eevee climbed on to a Dragonite and flew away, the sky brightening as they left.

"The Darkness Master strikes again!" I heard Kayse say, and I turned around to find smiles on all my friends' faces. I smiled, too, and signaled to Brian.

"Right, Keya! Present time, Juilee!" he said, and everyone brought out their presents. Juilee mostly got Pokémon, but Brian gave her a pokégear, and Kayse gave her a new pokèbelt. Finally it was my turn.

"Juilee, I know you've gotten a lot of Pokémon already but...I want you to have Chikorita. I could never train him with the way I travel." I handed Juilee Chikorita's pokéball, and she smiled.

Suddenly a Spearow flew in the window and dropped a message in my hand. I opened it and read it out loud.

"To Keya and Brian-Don't think we haven't heard about him! We'd like it if you two came up here and helped build a shelter here. It'd be nice, since not that many people even come here anymore. See you soon!-Lily and Chris from Fuchsia, and hopefully soon from Cinnabar! PS-Cinnabar is where we'll meet you!"

"Well," said Brian, "I guess we're going to Cinnabar!"

"Wait, there's another PS: The Spearow also is carrying a pokéball. It's our present for Juilee." Juilee eagerly called the Spearow back into his pokéball.

"I guess we should leave now. Cinnabar's a long way away," I said, and Brian nodded. We called back our Pokémon, even Eve, who had agreed to become my Pokémon. Umbreon quickly appeared, and I went into the back room to look at what was there.

All the Pokémon from the destroyed Mahogany Town were there, still looking like they'd been through the wringer. I grabbed my backpack and went outside, where Brian and Umbreon were already waiting.

"Bye! See you soon!" I called as both of us got on Pidgeot. She took off, and we waved until we couldn't see them anymore.

We flew over Mahogany Town, and I was delighted to see that people were already rebuilding it.

"To Cinnabar, Pidgeot!" I said, and she turned east, and I could only hope that Jason wouldn't come to a mostly-deserted island.

-_-_-_-_-_-
The end!!! But there'll be more, I promise!!!! Coming up next: Cinnabar: The Island Of Pokémon! ~The Darkness Master
