Roy was advancing closer and closer to me and Rokon with that gun in his hands. I snarled at Roy, and tried to scare him back a little. I felt my silver fur bristle and stand on end.

All of the others, Calypso, Fireburst, Shadow, Lunar, Kirin, everyone's been hit by those weird sleep darts, I thought. It's down to me and Rokon left to battle these guys.

"Ohhh, you think you're soo tough, huh?" laughed Roy. "You can't do anything to help your little buddies over there!" he said, gesturing at the cages and bags containing the others. Derek was beside one of the bags, laughed, and gave it a swift and hard kick in the side. I heard Calypso and Flameheart whimper with pain. The cries were muffled by the bag.

I felt my insides boil with anger and a weird fire burned inside me, a fire that I'd never felt before.

"Attack!" I heard an unfamiliar voice yell. I saw a weird bug-like pokémon spring from the treetops above. It was blue, with a weird smiley face on its back. It attacked Roy from behind using some weird stringy stuff, which it shot from its mouth. The stringy stuff wrapped itself around Roy and Derek, immobilizing them both.

Now was my chance! I felt all of the firey anger and energy build up inside me, and I shot a huge fire/psychic energy blast right at them. Rokon also let out a stream of fire at the same time, which mixed with my fire/psychic combination, and made it even larger and hotter than it was.

The energy blast flew towards Roy and Derek, and striking them hard. It was so hard that it hurled both of them into a tree far across the clearing. The impact knocked them both unconscious, but for how long, who knows?

"Hey, is everyone all right?" I yelled, running over to the bags and cages and releasing everyone, with Rokon and that mysterious bug's help, of course, but none of them awoke. I started shaking Calypso and Shadow.

"Hey, wake up, you guys, or they're gonna come back and get us!" I yelled frantically, shaking them hard. Both of them didn't even acknowledge that I had said anything. Rokon was over by Blade, Kirin, and Fireburst, trying to wake them up like I was doing.

"Please wake up, Blade!" cried Rokon. "No luck over here either, Aquafire," she said softly. "It's like they're all...dead or something, but they're still alive."

"How do we wake them up?" I asked.

"They've all been hit by the same type of chemical, one that puts a pokémon to sleep for at least 24 hours," said the bug. "I may know a way to awaken all of them," said it continued. "My name is Redyan, by the way."

"Well, what is it, Redyan?" I asked. "Because we have to get them all out of here, or we're all goners!"

"There is a special plant about half a mile away. With the juice from its leaves, they can instantly awaken any pokémon," Redyan replied. "We'd better move everyone to a safe hiding spot first, however, or those big guys will capture them all!"

"I can handle that!" I replied. Mustering up most of the remaining energy that I had, I managed to pick up about everyone in a psychic field, and put all of them in a medium sized cave hidden by dense shrubs located right by the pond. I wasn't able to pick up Kirin or Blade, because they were too heavy for my psychic powers to pick up, but Rokon and Redyan were able to drag them inside the cave. They came out of the cave, and I made sure that the entrance was well hidden. When standing ten feet away, the cave blended in perfectly with the surrounding forest.

"We'd better get going now, before those two big lummoxes wake up and try to attack us," said Rokon.

"All right then, Redyan, lead the way!" I said.

The three of us took off into the forest, Redyan leading the way. Boy, was that bug amazingly fast! I had a small problem trying to keep up, since Redyan was leaping from tree to tree.

~~~~~

"Damn, those pokémon are strong," said Derek, rubbing his head where he had smacked it into the tree. "I see why the Boss wants them so badly. Look, they're all gone!"

"Shaddap, and look for those damn pokémon already!" yelled Roy. "They can't have gone far, because after all, that stuff was concentrated Parasect Spores! Guaranteed to keep a pokémon asleep for at least 24 hours!"

They both took off into the forest, tranq gun ready in hand.

~~~~~

"How much farther?" panted Rokon. I was exausted too, from all of the running, but I wasn't ready to admit that.

"We're nearly there!" called out Redyan from above. Suddenly, the ground on which Rokon and I were running on suddenly dropped off a steep cliff overlooking the rest of the valley.

"Whoa!!" I cried out, slipping on the dirt trying to stop. I barely managed to stop before falling.

"Why didn't you tell us that was coming up?!" yelled Rokon.

"Oops, sorry, I'm not used to leading others around in the valley," came the reply from the treetops. "Do you see that tree down at the bottom there, the one with the red and blue tinted leaves on the right?"

"Yeah, is that the tree?" I asked.

"Yup, that's the Awaken Tree," said Redyan.

"So in order to get to the tree, we have to climb down this huge cliff?" Rokon asked.

"Unfortunately, yes," Redyan replied. "Don't worry, though, I'll go down first, and let out a rope for you to climb down on." With that, Redyan launched into the air, a thick piece of white silk flaring behind it. The rope was attached to a thick tree branch, which leaned over the cliff edge. I saw a very small Redyan land on the ground below, and the rope became taut.

"Climb down!" I heard the bug yell from waaay below us.

"I can use my psychic powers to jump down," I said to Rokon. "Go ahead and use the rope."

"Ok-kk," she replied. "But I'm scared of heights!!"

"Just don't look down," I said. I launched into the air, and fell down like a rock. I set up a psychic bubble below me, and landed softly on the ground. A few minutes later, a rather frazzled Rokon came sliding down the white rope.

"I'm never doing that again!!" she said nervously.

"Let's go get some of those leaves!" I said. "Lead the way, Redyan!"

~~~~~

"They went this way!" said Derek, pointing to some paw prints in the soft ground.

"That's toward Suicide Cliff!" said Roy. "That Growlithe is pretty smart, trying to lead us off the trail, but we're smarter! Follow those tracks!"

The two big men went tearing through the underbrush, gun shining and loaded with darts, toward the cliff edge.

~~~~~~

"Okay, you have to pick the reddest ones, those have the most powerful concentrations of the antidote in it," said Redyan. I used my powers and brought down a whole bunch of firey red leaves to the ground, and into a little net that Redyan had made. It only took a few minutes to fill the entire net.

"Is this enough?" asked Rokon, a bunch of th eleaves in her mouth.

"Oh yeah," said the bug. "We'd better get back now."

Just then, I heard a loud crashing sound coming through the forest, and coming right for us fast.

"Oh shit, hide!" yelled Redyan. I definitely didn't need to be told twice. I jumped into a big scruffy bush, and Rokon leaped into a hollow tree stump. Redyan took the bag and climbed in to the Awaken Tree's branches.

"I know I heard them around here somewhere!" I heard Derek yell.

"I did too, you dumbass!" yelled Roy. "They must be around here somewhere!

The two men took off into the underbrush again, away from the cliff face.

"Hey, now's our chance!" I yelled, running to the cliff face.

"How are we gonna get up there fast, though, Aquafire?" Rokon asked. I didn't reply. I felt my powers charge up again, and felt my body lifting into the air. Beside me, I also saw Rokon and Redyan rise into the air. We all travelled up faster and faster, and I landed all three of us right on the top of the cliff. Rokon was busy chanting, ''don't look down, don't look down.''

"Umm, hey Rokon, we're on solid ground now," I said.

"Oh," she replied meekly. "I knew that."

"Hey you two, we'd better get these leaves to your friends," said Redyan, taking off into the forest and leaping from trees like before. I carried the bag on my back.

~~~~~

"Hey, Roy, isn't that the pokémon over there?" asked Derek, pointing to the cliff face.

"What the hell?! How in the world are they way up there?!" yelled Roy. "Never mind, let's get back to the top of the cliff!"
