~~~Aquafire's p.o.v. before the cave-in~~~~~~
I was charging up all of the power I could muster up to hurl at those people who were trying to capture everyone. I had ordered Calypso and Fireburst to try and stall them while the others went through the back way. I was still charging up when I saw Calypso and Fireburst come back in, coughing hard.
"Aquafire, we have to run now!" Calypso cried. "They're starting to pump gas in here!"
"Both of you go, I'll catch up!" I replied. I could feel the hair on my back rise and immense power inside me start to gather.
"But..." began Fireburst.
"Just go!" I yelled at them. They both exchanged strange looks at each other, and me, but they complied and took off for the back of the cave.
I knew that this was what I had to do. I couldn't travel much in my condition anymore. I think Calypso was suspecting something, but I couldn't be sure. Using this much power would most likely kill me, or at least hurt me pretty severely.
A dozen people came barging into the cave.
"Look, Brian, there's that silver Growlithe that the Boss wanted so badly!" said a female voice. "We're sure to get bonus now!"
"Send out all of your pokémon!" said Brain, the guy the woman was referring to. Each person sent out five pokémon, making the odds sixty to one, definitely not in my favor. But I stayed back, and I would never let these assholes get my friends. Luckily, my psychic/dark/fire energy was ready. I hurled the entire thing, a gigantic energy ball a good ten feet in diameter into the ceiling, creating a huge explosion as the energy impacted on the bedrock above. The explosion released a torrent of giant rocks which rained down onto the people and me. I managed to run around a little and dodge most of the largest boulders. I dimly heard the people scream as the rocks and boulders fell on top of them. I think some were saved because of their pokémon. Darn…
Unfortunately, I was totally out of energy. As the rain of rocks ebbed and stopped, I collapsed on the cold ground.
This is it, I thought. All I can hope for is that everyone else got out before the blast. With that, my vision went dark.
~~~Flameheart's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I took a look as the collapsed tunnel. There were boulders and rocks of various sizes blocking the entrance. The dust that was kicked up was slowly settling to the ground. All of us were to stunned that after all that we had been through, Aquafire was gone.
"Oh, god..." moaned Kirin, surveying the collapsed tunnel.
"He's gone, after all this," said Arbiter. "What are we gonna do?"
"We have to dig him out!" cried Larissa.
"I dunno, but I guess we can stay here for the night," said Shadow. No one objected to this. They were too depressed over the most recent turn of events. Rokon, who was standing beside Blade, was crying. Just then, a huge black shadow flew overhead, and landed in front of us. The huge frame of the black dragon blocked out part of the setting sun.
"Astroleon," said Shockwave, "what are you doing here?"
"To lend guidance, of course," Astorleon replied.
"Can't you tell that Aquafire is gone?!" said Fireburst with sudden strength.
"Yeah, what do you mean by coming here and 'lending us guidance' when we are mourning our friend?!" yelled Lunar angrily. Astroleon gave one look at everyone, and started laughing heartily.
"What the hell are you laughing at?!" Firestrike yelled.
"Aquafire isn't dead," Astroleon replied, still laughing. "I know when pokémon die, and he isn't one of them, at least, not yet anyway."
"What kind of pokémon are you?" I asked. But then the realization dawned on me. "Aquafire isn't dead?!"
"Of course not!" laughed Astroleon. "In fact, he should be appearing at any time now from the collapsed cave."
We all looked at the cave. As a matter of fact, we all could hear something coming. The rocks cleared, and...
~~~Aquafire's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up suddenly. the dust which had been disturbed in the rock shower had settled on the ground and over the rocks. I stood up slowly, and made my way to the back of the tunnel, which was nearly totally blocked with rocks and boulders. I somehow had some strength still, and shot a psychic blast at the rocks. To my amazement, it blew a pretty good sized pile of rocks right out and clearing the tunnel for about ten feet. I walked into the cave, and systematically started blowing the rocks away with my psychic blasts. It wasn't long before I dimly saw tiny specks of light appear between the rocks. I let out one last psychic blast before stepping through into the light.
~~~Firestrike's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all just stood there, dumfounded as a huge, majestic Arcanine emerged from the blown away rubble into the sunlight. It was as big as any other, but its fur was silver.
"Hi guys!" said the Arcanine in a royal sounding voice. "What's wrong, do I have too much dust in my fur? Oh, hi Astroleon!"
"A-Aquafire?" stuttered Fireburst.
"Who else would I be?" asked the Arcanine, who was in fact Aquafire.
"You evolved?!" said Rokon.
"What are you all talking about?" Aquafire asked curiously.
"Take a look in that stream over there," said Blade. Aquafire went over to a little slow stream about ten feet away, and looked into his reflection in the water.
"Wow," said Aquafire in amazement. "I evolved, but how? I thought that in order to evolve, my kind had to use something called a Fire Stone." No one replied to this, because we didn't really know either.
"I know why," said Astroleon. "You were willing to sacrifice yourself in order to save your friends, a very noble act."
"Stranger things have happened," I heard Redyan mumble.
"Interesting," I said. "This is definitely gonna take some time to get used to."
"Which direction are we all supposed to head next, Astroleon?" Aquafire asked.
"Head south, towards the place known as the Rainbow Valley," said Astroleon. "There will be some pokémon there able to lead the way to Fuchsia City." With that, he took off into the air, and flew off.
"I guess we're heading south then," said Shadow.
