Chapter 5
After playing the song on her flute, she set it down and looked up to the stars. How could se defeat Clair? jolty could do it..but she wanted Electra to have the pride of defeating the last of the Gym Leaders. The moon was just about full, probably in a few more days it would be. Every hero, every honorable creature, everything that lived their life using their heart and mind was sent to the heavens above, she'd been told. Electra was surely there now. But where? She scanned the sky, checking if something was diffrent in any constellation. Jolty padded to her side and sat, looking upon the sky with her.
"You'll go there when you pass on too, you know. Do you think you can find Electra?" Zuey whispered, looking down to her.
Jolty looked up again. She looked past the groups that made pictures, and looked for the lone stars. There was a small one that twinkled gently with a tad yellow tint. Jolty lifted a paw and pointed towards it. Zuey looked and smiled. She sat there the whole night, staring at the single star, humming sad tunes, or whispering a few What Ifs, or If Onlys. Again she picked up the flute as dawn arrived. A sad, lonely tune was played. Jolty looked up with a slight smile. Her body swayed and she gently sung to it in her own language. When the stars finally faded, and the sun shown it's rays, the song ended, and she sat in silence once again.
"We'll go to lavender town and visit her spirit there. Clair can wait...the League doesn't start that soon."
She stood. Lance and Chris were still asleep...ontop of eachother as usual. Nither ever slept quietly, or still, and they always ended up laying on eachother. She wrote a short note, explaining where she would be and how to get there if they didn't know how. Then she went back to the pokecenter, ignoring the many of questions from trainers, exchanged Whip for Pidgeot, and started off to Lavender Town on it's back. Jolty rode in her pokeball for once, understanding Pidgeot couldn't carry them both. They landed after about an hour. Lavender town wasn't like it used to be when she was a little girl. There was a radio tower now, and the gravesite of Pokemon had been moved since the ghost was gone. She let out Jolty, and returned Pidgeot. They strode silently into the building.
"Miss, pokemon are not allowed in--"
"If the souls are...then those that are still alive are as well." She said coldly and walked past the man.
Jolty snorted at him. Those who were in there lowered their heads to her. She looked about and saw a new headstone. Slowly making her way to it, she thought of where the body would be buried since this was only to show who died. She knelt by the headstone and ran her fingers over it. Ingraved was:
Electra, the Jolteon
Pokemon of Zuey Tsato
Honorable and loyal she was. A lifelong companion and team mate. Side by side the two battled and won. But the final battle came in the town of Blackthorne of Johto. Hours were spent on trying to revive the fallen Jolteon, but all failed. May this honorable creature rest in peace at last and bare none hatred.
And then, below the information, was the phrase she wanted.
May you play among the stars. May you stay happy and free.
You were the pride of my life....and the wind beneath my wings.
She closed her eyes and sighed. Many that were only there to pay respects came to join her. She looked up to them with narrowed eyes. Her life would probably never be the same now. She lost what ment most to her. She lost more than half her life..everything she needed and depended on was gone, just like that. The people backed off.
She spent most the day there, staring at the headstone. Finally came the time when she had to leave. The gaurds were going on break. Reluctantly she stood and left the building, Jolty by her side. Pidgeot was taken out, Jolty returned, and she set off back to Blackthorne. Hate and pain burned in her heart, eating it inside out. She swore revenge...and thats exactly what she was to do. Lance and Chris met her at the center. She said nothing as she exchanged Pidgeot for Whip and headed to the gym. Jolty bristled as they neared...she too wanted revenge, for Electra was the only one who ever dared challenge her authority and power. The only one who could ever be her equal. When they entered, Clair taunted her about the loss of Electra. This only made her more angry. She stayed silent and sent out Jolty, who snarled and snapped.
The first two were easy to take out in one hit. One Thunder Attack on each wiped them clean.
"Jolty...now is our revenge. Don't you forget what that Dragonite did t will to Electra. Make he and Clair pay for their mistake." She whispered darkly.
The mad jolteon snarled and growled more. The Dragonite on the other hand only grinned down at her. Without any command or warning, Jolty sprang onto the Dragonites belly and clawed her way, quickly, up to his head. He thrashed his head about, calling out in pain form the razor sharp claws. Her back arched, paws came all together, nearly standing on eachother. Her signature move. Needles and spikes stood on end. Static could be felt in the air as she gathered ever ion about in the air, even ions from outside were gathered. Sparks bounced around, some smacking the Dragonite's face. The sparks soon turned to bolts, her body glowed a soft yellow. Then, with an ear bleeding shriek, Jolty spread back to a normal standing position and unleashed the great power she'd gathered...onto the Dragonite's head. He screamed and thrashed. The attack continued. All the ions were forced into his head, and travled through his body at alarming rates. Zuey narrowed her eyes as she watched. Dragonite yelled out once more before Jolty jumped off, and the large pokemon fell limp to the ground. Eyeballs rolled back and half poped out. A pinkish liquid leaked from it's nose and mouth, the head of it steamed. Clair stared in shock.
"Let that be a lesson to you, Clair of Blackthorne. What goes around comes around. I am the best of the best." Zuey walked up to her, snatched the badge from the holder, and walked silently out with Jolty grinning at her side.
