**Look! I've got it done! (cheers) This chapter is really confusing if you don't know your pokemon well, so umm.. go an learn about pokemon and then come back to it... actually you don't really need to know. But it helps, I guess. Oh, right! I do not own Sailor Moon or Pokemon... yet ^^ **
It was a beautiful pokemon, a phoenix made out of every hue of the rainbow, glowing a brilliant golden light. From the way the pokemon held itself, to the gigantic wingspan, everything about this bird pokemon had the air of majesty and grace.
Usagi could only stare gape-mouthed at the creature, her heart pounding and mind yammering a thousand thoughts that mingled and echoed within her. As if sensing her, the pokemon, easily as large as a minivan, flapped its wings, spiraling majestically until it landed on the ground. With illegible intelligent eyes, it looked at Usagi.
:You called me. Why?: It demanded, although its voice was calm.
Usagi opened her mouth to answer, when a sudden blur interrupted her thoughts. Sabrina had obviously lapsed back into time, and did not seem to want to wait to see who this new intruding pokemon was. With a swift gesture, her Hypno rammed Usagi over, causing Usagi to break eye contact and hit the ground with a painful thud. Trembling, Usagi forced herself to look at this attacking pokemon, her eyes defiant. As a response, the Hypno waved its pendulum and began glowing a blue light.
With only that minute warning, Usagi gasped as a force that threatened to squeeze her and rip her apart at the same time hit her. Choked out of every thought and emotion except pain, Usagi doubled over, the world around her becoming vague and hazy. Sabrina only smiled and the Hypno waved its pendulum harder, glowing the same blue aura that now surrounded Usagi.
At first, it seemed like the earth was shaking, causing a strange wavering echo around the terrain. But, it was not the earth but rather a roar, so deep and intense that it shook the very ground. That pokemon, Ho-oh, connected to Usagi by a Bond that she had Summoned, felt her mistress's pain, and seemed to bellow it to the world. And with that pain, came a rage, a deep hatred and power that sprouted from Usagi and into her pokemon, filling them both with incredible strength and desire.
Sabrina looked, shocked, as Usagi broke the spell of pain that Hypno had caused on her, without even breaking a sweat. The normally cheerful blonde stood up, shakily, and turned hate-filled eyes to the gym leader of Saffron City. And, at the same time, the Ho-oh glared in the identical manner. Sabrina didn't need to be a psychic (even though she was one) to know what was about to happen next.
"Hypno, cast a psywave now!" Sabrina barked at her pokemon, fearing a bit for the power the new pokemon could possibly yield.
The Hypno closed its eyes, and waved its pendulum. From the pendulum, large dark waves of blue psychic energy lashed out, like a psychic tidal wave of force. It reached out to grasp and shove back Usagi and her Ho-oh, dancing with rippling power...
... Only to be stopped with a flap of Ho-oh's wings, that countered every wave of the Hypno's attack with a single burst of intense-white flame. And even though the Hypno was visibly scared, the Ho-oh seemed not in the least preturbed. This pokemon had power, and it would use it.
"Sacred fire." Usagi heard herself say, in a tone that was at the most devoid of all emotion. Perhaps it was because her mind was now as one with the Ho-oh, attacking and feeling the power of the pokemon, rather than in her own body. What she had said only reflected what she was thinking inside her pokemon at the moment.
Usagi/Ho-oh flapped high into the sky, and released a shower of sparks, which burst into high combustion when they reached the ground, surrounding Sabrina and her pokemon in a wall of white flames.
The Ho-oh landed gently onto the ground, and glared at the trapped gym leader.
"Give up now?" Usagi asked, her voice harsh and reprimanding, like the Ho-oh's had been.
Sabrina simply glared back. "You wish!"
Actually, Sabrina was in a state of complete loss. All her pokemon, save one, had been wiped out just by that Ho-oh's single attack, and she was trapped by a barrier of fire that cut off all her escape, even restricting her from teleporting away. She looked at the blonde-haired girl and her new pokemon, which had so effectively cut her off when she was in a state of success. But how had they done it? And where did this new pokemon come from. She knew that such pokemon did not just appear out of thin air, and the last Ho-oh was heard to be living in a sacred Tin Tower in Johto. It couldn't be the same Ho-oh living in the Tin Tower, could it? Sabrina narrowed her eyes, and as she did, she invoked her psychic-senses, reading the life energy of the golden bird pokemon. Something was wrong about the energy of that Ho-oh, as it was clearly not the same life energy as that of a pokemon - it was simply too bright, too pure. Sabrina's eyes fell on Usagi, whose body glowed with the same brilliant energy. And she knew.
Haruka was more-or-less quite shocked when she had seen the strange energy in the form of Ho-oh rise from Usagi in a brilliance of golden light. She had also witnessed the pokemon's incredibly powerful attack, and could have pinched herself in her disbelief. However, as prepared as she was for all these strange events, she was caught completely off-guard when that same silver Espeon, which had almost impaled Minako during the beginning of the battle, attacked Usagi, knocking her off balance and causing her to lose her concentration.
In that moment that Usagi lost her concentration, the Ho-oh seemed to flicker and fade, as if it was just an illusion, even though it had proved to be somewhat of a real pokemon during battle. And Haruka immediately knew - the pokemon could only exist through Usagi's life-energy, and since Usagi had used almost all of it up during her attack, the Ho-oh would soon again flicker out of existence.
And surely enough, it did, in a glimmer of white and gold feathers that turned to simply fading sparks as Usagi collapsed unconscious on the ground, having used up too much of her energy.
Michiru and Setsuna also stood beside Haruka, viewing the scene with relative tension.
And as Sabrina sent out her Espeon to finish the prone Usagi off, Haruka decided that she really couldn't wait any longer.
Minako watched, helpless, as the Espeon leapt to finish Usagi off just like it had almost did to her, her body still completely paralyzed even after that battle. And as she closed her eyes in fear of her friend, something hit the Espeon in a lightning blur, knocking the Espeon forcefully of its course.
The psychic pokemon flipped back onto its feet and snarled, its voice dangerous.
And the intruding pokemon simply reacted by slamming into the Espeon again, with a speed that Minako could simply not follow. Furious, the Espeon launched a psychic blast at the attacking pokemon, a blast that vibrated from all directions.
"World Shaking!" Commanded a rather masculine voice, and the attacking pokemon, hovering enough in the air to be noticed as the steel bird-type pokemon Skarmory, opened its plated beak and a dark golden sphere launched itself from its beak, penetrating Espeon's attack and hitting the psychic pokemon.
Espeon literally flew backwards from the impact of the attack, and hit the ground, unmoving. Yet, before Minako could even begin cheering, a pitch-black pokemon, similar in structure to the Espeon, launched itself at the Skarmary, ramming into the steel bird in a furious bodyslam. Shocked to the point of being caught off guard, the Skarmory lost its balance, allowing the black pokemon to lock its jaws into the soft underside of the Skarmory's steel plates.
"Deep submerge!" Screamed another voice. And an Azumarril leapt from the bushes, shooting out a intense sphere of water from its mouth, which hit the black pokemon - an Umbreon - full force, causing the Umbreon to back away.
The Umbreon leapt until it stood right by the Espeon, and closed its eyes, glowing a deep violet-black energy. Just moments later, the Espeon stood up, revived and healed the point of being able to attack again. And Minako could have sworn she heard a voice in the bushes swear loudly, even though she could not see the source of the voice. She assumed it was the owner of the Skarmory.
The Umbreon and Espeon began to create a mixed shield of violet-black and blue energy, the combined energy slowly growing and expanding until it threatened to consume the unconscious form of Usagi as well as the Skarmory, which had realized that physical attacks did nothing to stop the shield.
The Azumarril, spraying a stream of water at the shield, was also irked to find its attack useless.
"Dead scream." Came a voice, and a sphere of lavender energy shot out and hit the barrier. At first, it seemed like the attack did nothing, but then, the shield began to waver. And an unknown pokemon shot into the sky, attacking the shield with a burst of psychic energy, the same type of energy that half the shield had been created with.
With no warning, the shield gave a final shudder, and exploded into a million fragments, which created an explosion of their own when they hit the ground.
The world around the girls and the pokemon began to waver and shake, and ruptured into a brilliance of colourless light. Everything else simply ceased to exist.
**Done, done, done, done DONE (for this chapter)!!! Yay! I gotta run cause I have a paino - I mean piano - recital tomorrow. Soooo... here's this chapter, and sorry that its confusing. I'll edit it - someday ^^... Hmmm.. I'm gonna separate the people, one outer and one inner (there will be someone left over), but I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.. ja! Its funny, cause I think the only person who reads this is Myst_Lady, but you've inspired me, so I can't really stop, can I? ^^
