Author's note: Nothing much to note this time other than, I'm going back to school in less than two weeks, and I haven't finished writing this damn story finish. Not to worry, I'm giving this project full attention this time. Ooh! Ice cream break! Whoops! Look's like I have a good note to say! I just got a near $70 Japanese Pokemon CD!! Comes with rare Jap. trading cards (I finally have a Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard) and others! The tracks are a bit of a disappointment -_-0 But if I complain to my bro who bought it for me for Christmas...Eek! Anyway, the Rocketdan and the Pokemon rock theme song are my favs. Kojiro's seriyuu actually sounds suave, gentleman-like and overall cool, not like that whiny, high-pitched, mama boy's voice the English James has! Musashi's voice is also more woman-like and when they say the motto, you-don't-find-it-annoying amazingly! They sound GREAT together on the track or it may be disillusion caused by being Rocketshippy :) Oh! I must ask you for help with some names, please. Can someone give me an unusual but acceptable name for a girl who is cold, stern and antisocial? She's also a master martial artist and ninja and she wears a tight ponytail/bun in her hair. For people who watch Digimon, like Rika+Janine (G/S, Koga's daughter{who's the mum?}). Thanks! Oh! And plus she's a...um...wait a minute...yeah! She's a...um...darn! Okay, okay, she's a quarter werewolf and three quarters human! She's in the fic, future that is!
'Oh! What's this light?' wonders Sam, shielding her eyes.
She is sitting on the ground, miraculously untouched by Elementroar's attack but weak, pale, sickly, spent and helpless from using so much of her remaining strength for her last attack.
The light slowly dissipates and Sam can spot a figure within it. But as the light becomes softer, she sees clearly who the figure is and her eyes open wide in shock and she gasps a tiny cry of fear and quickly edge away.
Standing right in front of her, is Elementroar, his back to her.
Sam doesn't know what to do, she is so tired she can barely lift her head up. What is she going to do now? What CAN she do? Everything she's tried just ended up failing or ended making the whole situation worse! She is useless! What right did she have to stay on this world?!
"Summoner, I do not know HOW you manage to do it but tell me, what was the purpose of creating a mirror image of me?"
"What?"
In shock, Sam looks pass Elementroar in front of her, only to see Elementroar talking back at her.
"Oh heck, there're TWO of them?!?!?" screams Joe, clutching his head and starts screaming hysterically.
"Sam! Get out of there!" shouts Ash and running to her side, trying to pull her up.
"Come on!" Tai, Matt, and Brock, try to pull her to her feet, all the while glancing nervously towards the second Elementroar.
"Wait!" exclaims Sam, stopping them from pulling her to her feet.
"This one's...different. Somehow,"
Sam examines the second Elementroa, and though he is in every psyhical way, identical to the first Elementroar, she notices some differences. For some reason, light, an aura she would say, radiates around him, starting from his head and flowing down the rest of his body. The aura is not of one colour but of many, many different ones, very much like a rainbow. The aura moves like silk over the beasts form and as Sam traces where the aura comes from, she looks at the beast's head and strangely enough, the beast turns to look at her, giving her a good look of it's face.
It's face is in everyway the same as the first Elementroar. However, perched on it's nose, shining in the bright light of the evening sun, is a silver horn. It isn't round, it is more of a slashing horn, like a sword's blade. From it, the strange aura eminated, but in distinct colours first before spreading out and blending to form the light, almost transparent aura around the creature. The already noble bearing of the creature, added with the beautiful rainbow aura, puts Sam in a daze.
"This Elementroar...isn't the same," she says, gaping a bit in awe of the majesty of the creature.
The beast nods it's head and turns to face the other Elementroar.
"You filthy copy! There is no way a duplicate will be able to defeat the original! There is only one...only one Beast of the Elements! Only ONE!" Elementroar shouts and roars hysterically, shooting out flame and stomping the ground in fury.
"I'll kill you! I'll destroy you! I'll destroy you all!"
The second Elementroar lowers it's head, pointing it's horn at the original Elementroar.
"Come on, Sam! Let's go." says Ash.
Sam is too much in shock, both from the previous experience and the appearence of the second Elementroar and all she can do is continue to stare at the second Elementroar as her friends struggle to bring her to her feet and to safety.
Elementroar's Hydro Cannons rise up again, his unnatural yet natural tail arches up, poised to strike. Preparations for his Elemental Blast start again.
Sam wakes up.
"Get out of there! Get out there, Elementroar!" she shouts, pulls herself out her friends' grasps but falls to the ground again.
"Get out! He's going to attack you!"
The second Elementroar turns his head again but just nods. He tosses his head forward, urging Sam to go to safety.
"Hurry! Sam, let's get going...oof!" warns Brock, being the biggest and strongest, is trying to lift Sam from behind by lifting her shoulders but to no avail.
"Elementroar! You're the real one, aren't you? You're the real Elementroar!" Sam suddenly exclaims as realisation hits her.
The second Elementroar turns his face half-way and gives her a sidesway glance but doesn't make any indication whether he admitted or denied it.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU AS CRAZY IN YOUR BRAIN AS IN YOUR HEART!? HOW COULD HE BE THE ORIGINAL?! I WAS FIRST! I AM THE TRUE ELEMENTROAR!" Elementroar roars a ground-shaking roar that revebrates in the air as well.
"YOU WILL ALL NOT LIVE TO SEE THE SUNRISE ANYMORE!" Elementroar fully finishes his move's preparations and gathers fire energy in his mouth as the finishing touch.
"ELEMENTAL BLAST!"
The multi-coloured behemoth of energy and destruction flies rapidly towards the second Elementroar who does not make any move to retreat and stands between the children and imminent death.
"ELEMENTROAR! Get out of there!" screams Sam, trying to break free from her friends' grasps but only succeeds in weakening herself further and collaspes again.
The blast makes contact and burns and collates around the second Elementroar.
"NO!" Sam screams, raising her hands up to try to pull herself up.
Her marks flashes and glistens in different colours, like a pool reflecting the colours of the rainbow.
"RWAARRRR! GGRRRAARRR! RWWWEEAAAA!"
Roars eminate from within the cocoon of elemental energy, as the second Elementroar struggles.
"It isn't any use Summoner! That imposter cannot survive the most powerful attack from the one, true Elementroar, Beast of the Elements! HA HA HA!" jeers Elementroar, tossing his head in the air.
Suddenly, the second Elementroar's sword-like horn peeks out of the raging energies and shines bright. The energies then swirl and become as if sucked into the horn, making the horn change a variety of colours, and leaving the second Elementroar apparently unscathed.
"What's this?" Elementroar growls, his confidence shaken by the sudden change of events.
The second Elementroar has it's head raised in the air, it's horn in full splendour as it continues to shine off the conflux of colours within it. Then, it snaps it's head to glare at Elementroar and speaks!
"I'll show you what is the most powerful attack that only the one, true Elementroar can perform!"
The second Elementroar jumps up and arches it's head back, it's horn shining its brightest.
"RAINBOW SLASH!"
The true Elementroar snaps its head forward and down, tracing a bright arch in the air that does not dissipate. The arch streaks from the horn and towards the first Elementroar, changing to red (fire), green (grass), light green (bug), yellow (electric), light blue (flying), blue (ice), dark blue (water), brown (rock), light brown (ground), dark mahogony (fighting), dark purple (poison), purple (psychic), light purple (ghost) and finally, white (normal).
"NNOOORRROOAAAA!" Elementroar screams as the energy blade slashes through him down the middle.
Immediately, the first Elementroar's body is engulfed in a ball of bright light and explodes.
"AAHHH!!!"
Ash, Tai, Matt and Brock drop their hands away from Sam for a moment as they shield their eyes from the blinding light. The light strikes them head-on, making them look like shadows.
Sam is left helpless on the ground.
Elementroar moves in immediately to shield her from the light.
Finally, the light disappears and as the children open their eyes, they see little crystal-like, sparkling particles falling down on them like light rain.
"Oh my! Their so pretty!" gasps Mimi, holding out her hands to try to catch some of the falling particles.
"Hey! Sam! Sam! Wake up! Hey!" T.K shakes Sam to try to wake her.
She had become unconcious.
"Matt! She's not waking up!" says T.K worriedly.
"Do not worry," says a deep voice.
Elementroar walks to Sam and T.K. Matt tries to intervene, not fully trusting the new Elementroar just as much as the first one.
"T.K! Be careful!" warns Matt.
Elementroar bends his head down to nudge Sam.
"She just needs some rest."
Elementroar breathes on Sam and the moment his breath touches her, her wounds mend immediately.
"It will be dark soon," continues Elementroar, raising his head again to talk to the rest of the children.
"Prepare for camp. All of you need to rest tonight,"
Elementroar walks towards the Pokeball and taps it with his horn. The ball immediately dissipates and slowly, groups of Pokemon appear on the field once more.
"All of you, go home to your trainers, your forests and your rivers. There is no more war here!"
All the Pokemon start to leave steadily. Seperating from a group of Arcanine, a single fireball runs towards Elementroar.
The Arcanine bows in respect before Elementroar when he reaches him and barks out his query.
"She is over there," replys Elementroar, looking towards the children.
S.K quickly races towards them, surprising a many Digimoners (and horrifying Joe).
The children had started putting up camp around Sam and S.K advances towards his master and friend.
He nudges her and licks her face before going behind her and laying beside her, propping up her head slightly like a pillow.
Sam rouses a bit and instinctively digs into his fur as she tries to get closer to the warmth.
S.K nudges his master affectionately again before looking towards the moutains.
The sun is setting over the mountains as Sam dozes, setting over a great battlefield where the fight has left.
