Those forest of eyes widened fully at the scream of Electra. Whip had suceeded in the first round, but he had taken a few hits. Zapdos easily took out the other Dragonair, now it was the last of them...Dragonite. The massive tail of the creature smashed down upon Electra's beaten, limp body. The yellow creature bounced with each thud. Her trainer stared in disbeliefe, utter shock overcomming. Finally having senses come back, she screamed, and ran out onto the battlefield to her fallen friend.
"STOP!" Screamed the girl, just as the tail was about to slam upon her.
Startled, Dragonite looked over his shoulder, and stopped as told. The young trainer heald the Jolteon in her arms, sobbing into her shoulder. Every bone had to be broken. Her heart beat was so feint it wasn't even felt.
"I forfit this match. But beed my word, Clair...when I return...you will pay severly for this. If Electra dies...I shall NEVER forgive you..." Anger boiled in the girls voice as she stood with Electra in her arms.
Clair chuckled rather darkly as the trainer left. It was nothing new...only the best got by Dragonite. Only the best of the best.

Jolty followeed at the heels of Zuey as she rushed to the center. For once the dark one felt sorry for Electra, and her trainer. People of the town stared as she ran past, half knowing what happened. She burst into the pokecenter, panting and stuggling to keep on her feet. Joy rushed over and swept the Jolteon from her arms, then ran into the back. After catching her breath, Zuey followed, wether it was against the rules or not...she would not sit and wait when Electra needed her the most. She sat by the operating table, staring down at her pain strucken face. Joy and the Chansey worked quickly, even a male docter came in after a call from one of the Chansey.
Electra...I know you can make it...please. I can't go on to the league without you. You're the reason I battle. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she thought to herself.
Lance and Chris were ordered in the waiting room, as well as Jolty, whom laid silently under a chair with her head on her paws. They all whispered of what happen, they all paced. Trainers that had heard what happen joined the two in the center to wait.
Night fell upon the town. Many had fallen asleep, but most had stayed awake, staring at the sign with a needle on it above the door, waiting for the light to go out on it.
"Poor Electra.." Lance whispered.
"Poor Zuey...think of the worry and stress she's going through.." Chris murmered, rubbing his eyes.
The dredded sound came to her ears. Beep..beep...beep..beep....beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...No, she thought, Electra...come back..you can make it..! But the mono-tone did not stop. Joy and the male stopped their tried of brining her back after the fifth one. Joy looked up to Zuey with tears in her eyes and shook her head. The male bit his lip and unhooked the heart monitor. They all stood in silence. She just stood there...staring at Electra. Her eyes empty, but spilling tears. Her lifelong friend and compainion....the reason she took up beinga trainer...it was all gone.
"Electra...." She whispered nearly silently.
She slowly walked over to the bed. Tears fell onto the lifeless pokemon. Zuey slowly, and shakily ran a pale hand along one of her pokemon's ear, then her cheek. She was really gone. Picking the heavy body up, she dropped to her knees and sobbed into her shoulder while rocking. Arms held the Jolteon close to her chest, never wanting to left go. The tears soaked into the wire like fur of Electra.
Joy couldn't stand it, she turned and walked out the room, flicking off the sign light. Everyone outside the room jumped up as she walked out, their faces bright with hope. Lance was the first to notice her look, he gasped and shook his head, taking a step back.
"No....she had to live...Electra can't die that easily!" Tears filled his eyes. "Go back! Help her! Bring her back to life!"
Chris placed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. "She's done all she can...don't make it harder..."
Jolty sluggishly walked back to Zuey. Her head was low and eyes full of sadness. She sat by her trainer, holding the lifeless Electra, and whimpered while nosing her. Zuey did not look up, but continued crying and rocking. No matter how evil the pokemon..seeing one of their own species die was horrible. Jolty shed tears for the first time in her life that night. She stayed by Zuey's side, her head hung, occasionaly licking her arm or nosing the dead Electra. Nothing seemed to help. Ears lowered and she laid down by the two.
Early into the morning she kept this up...but finally came the time that she had to let her go....forever.
Joy promised a honorable burial where the best of pokemon were buried. Zuey was still reluctant, but finally let go. She flung herself around Jolty, whom cried along with her.
The night to follow, as she slept under the stars, she thought of the song Wind Beneath my Wings. It made her cry even more.
Electra had always been there for her. If she couldn't do soemthing, Electra could. If she needed help, Electra was always there by her side. Yet for all the work...Zuey had taken most the fame.


It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face...
You were content to let me shine (Thats your way)..
You always walked a step behind...

So I was the one with all the glory,
And you were the one with all the strain...
A beautiful face without a name..(For so long)
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that your my he-ro?
And everything I would like to be...
I can fly higher than an ea-gle..
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed.
But I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth ('Course I know it)
I would be nothing without you....

Did you ever know that your my he-ro?
Your everything I wish I could be.
I can fly higher than an eagle...
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you your my hero?
Your everything, everything...I wish I could be.
Oh, and I...I can fly higher than an eagle..
For you are the wind...beneath my..wings....
'cause you're the wind beneath my wings...

Fly....fly..fly...fly away.
You let me fly so high.
You are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly...Fly...Fly high as the sky...
So high you almost touch the sky.
Thank you...thank you...thank god for you..
the wind beneath my wings..
