Short chappy. Simply put.
~~~Flameheart's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I awoke the next morning totally refreshed. I stood up and stretched out my cramped muscles. I saw that Aquafire was already awake, along with Calypso, Kirin, Lunar, and Shadow. Everyone else was still asleep and snoozing around the dim room. Strangely, everyone who was awake was in a semi-circle around Aquafire. Puzzled, I went over to the group.
"Get out of Aquafire, Darkpsy!" shouted Kirin to Aquafire.
"No. He willingly gave up his freedom in exchange for all of your safety," said Aquafire in a dull voice. I felt a shiver go down my spine. That voice wasn't Aquafire's! "I get to stay in here until I feel like leaving, which I can assure you, won't be anytime soon!"
"What is up with that idiot?!" said Shadow angrily. "Everyone knows you're not supposed to negotiate with ghosts!" Aquafire turned to him.
"He heard that, and he's telling me that he had to, because it was his duty as leader," laughed Darkpsy/Aquafire. Now everyone was awake, and gathered around.
"Hey, what's happenin', everyone?" asked Redyan sleepily, yawning.
"That ghost, Darkpsy, is in Aquafire!" said Lunar.
"What the heck?!" said Larissa. "A ghost possessed Aquafire?!"
"Yeah, and he won't get out!" said Calypso, shooting a glance at Darkpsy/Aquafire.
"As I said, he gave his liberty up willingly," replied Darkpsy in an icy voice.
"Well, we have no choice but to travel along," said Firestrike. "The humans will be back."
"Let's go then," said Shockwave. "Does anyone object to me taking over command, since Aquafire's a bit...incapacitated at the moment?" No one said a word in objection.
The group made our way out of the lit room and down to the first floor. The stairs creaked and bended under our weight, but didn't collapse. Darkpsy/Aquafire floated down the stairs, an extremely eerie scene, believe me. Shockwave led the way outside into the bright sunlight. I think everyone was expecting Darkpsy to start yelling and screaming from the bright sunlight, but no yelling or screaming came.
"Dang it, it didn't work," I heard Redyan say under his breath. I tried not to snicker at the remark.
~~~Fireburst's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shockwave led the way back to the path where we had come from. There were no signs of the battle from the day before. It was weird, knowing that one of my friends was possessed by a freaky ghost. I guess it would take some getting used to.
"Where is Astroleon when you need 'im?" Rokon said out loud.
"Yeah, this could be a major problem," said Blade, agreeing with her. I saw Calypso and Shockwave talking abotu something in the front of the group. I flew up to listen in from Kirin's antlers.
"What are we gonna do about this?" Calypso asked.
"Dunno, I guess we have to kind of ride it out," Shockwave replied.
"What about?" I asked.
"How are we gonna get to the valley without Aquafire's help," Shockwave replied.
The group continued on in silence, each pondering their own thoughts towards the south.
~~~Arbiter's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn't know what to think about all this. Aquafire possessed, Calypso and Shockwave the leaders, a ghost who's not affected by sunlight, just too freaky.
Just then, a huge Rhydon came out of the bushes from the left side. It looked at us for a moment, then charged at everyone in the front. Calypso and Shockwave quickly attacked, Calypso using her Ice Beam, and Shockwave using his Thundershock attack. The two powers combined, and formed a devastating beam of energy, which hit the charging Rhydon square in the chest. The ice formed around it, and the electricity flowed through. I noticed that it had blank, blind eyes, which typically signalled trouble.
As if on cue, a big group of Rockets, even bigger than last time, sprang from the bushes and surrounded us on all sides.
"See? Didn't I tell you we'd bring more reinforcements?" laughed Rachelle as she stepped out from behind a tree.
"You're ours now, you dumbass pokémon," said Roy, his face healed up a little, but still scarred badly. He smiled, only serving to contort his face even more hideously. I shivered visibly. This fight was not going to be easy.
