Chapter 16

FFN being down all the time gives me a chance to write without people pressuring me to write the next chapter. But these days I feel like writing a lot. Oh! And Part 1 of Fire & Ice is almost over.

Huo! Mei-Hong shouted angrily, when morning came. It was a wet morning in the field, because of the thunderstorm last night. You went out last night! I've heard rumor that you went to the Ice Caves!

Who told you that? It was just a dream, Mei, Huo replied coolly.

I've also heard that you were there to kill Dong, so that you Sneasel friend could be leader, Mei continued. She began to pace and jump up and down like a small child. Huo just sat quietly. He knew to never get Mei angrier than she already was. I'm very disappointed in you, Huo! To kill one leader just to make another one! And to do it on command from a Sneasel! HUO…YOU HAVE BROKEN THE LAW!!! However, since you did kill, and put the weak leader into place, no charges shall be made.

Mei, who told you all that? Huo asked quietly, looking straight into Mei's glare. He never dared look Mei in the eye, but this time he was angry. Someone had told. Someone had found out.

Mei took a step back. No one had ever dared look her straight in the eye. Everyone feared her. Everyone was afraid of her. Her temper had made all that happen. Don't look at me like that, Mei ordered.

Tell me. Who told you? Huo asked again.

Just someone, Mei answered turning away from Huo's stare.

Who might this someone be? Huo patently asked.

I…followed you, Mei-Hong said.

You're afraid to tell me that? You're afraid of me, aren't you? That's why you're always mean to me, so that I'll always be weaker than you! Huo shouted loudly. He was very angry.

Why would I fear you? Mei asked with a laugh. It was a nervous laugh.

Mei, let's go down to the beach to discuss this. The beach was where it all happened, after all, Huo suggested.

The beach had strong tides that day. The trees on the opposite end of the beach were blowing gently in the wind. The sand was still wet. Mei, I don't like you killing my Mother and Father! Huo shouted.

You said you were okay with that, Mei shouted back. The shouting was necessary for the waves were making a very loud noise.

I never meant it! It's time for a new leader! A time for peace! A time for you to give up you unfit role to be leader! It's time for me to take over! I will rule! Huo declared.

What are you saying? You can't just get rid of me, Mei said. She was confused.

Huo smiled. I better get going. I was planning on throwing you in the water, but fate just made my life easier… Huo bit Mei in the leg, and ran off into the trees.

Huo! Mei limped. She was in pain.

"Cool! It's another dark Pokemon! I saw two in two days!" a voice said. It was the dump kid with the "Wob-bet." "I'll catch it this time! Wobby, go!" The kid threw a Pokeball, and Wobby appeared. "Use Counter!"

I'm not going to be caught… Mei weakly stated. She released fire. Wobby was burned badly. Wobby used counter attack, and then fell.

"Wobby! No!" the kid said. "You hurt my favorite Pokemon! You hurt my best friend!" Tears appeared on the kid's face. "You're going to pay!" The kid grabbed his one other Pokeball. "Meet my best of my best friends!" Tyranitar appeared. "Rock Slide!"

Noooo…. Mei was trapped a Pokeball next, and Huo's problems were gone.

Elder! Mei-Hong was captured by a boy! Huo had said. The elder nodded and according to Mei-Hong, Huo was going to be leader.

End of Part 1

So, was it good? I'm wondering how I should do part 2…Well, part two's going to be about the actual peace making and stuff. Until then, Have A Nice Life! ^^
