Sorry for taking over a month everyone…I've just been trying to figure out
how to explain a very scientific part in Chapter #19 and haven't been
working on the story much else…but hopefully with my roomie's help I'll be
able to get up the rest of the story very soon…I'll put up another chapter
in a few days…possibly Monday or Tuesday night…be on the lookout…
Part #17 – Avasuke
When they emerged from the security building, Kira looked straight at the town's green. A purple bird pokèmon was sitting there, staring in her direction. Kira sighed and looked at Shigeru, whose arm was laced through her. He released her arm, knowing what it was she was about to do, then took a step away from her with a smile. She took a deep breath then closed her eyes. A shining circlet that was made of tiny stars appeared around her head. The three newcomers looked with mouths open as a golden pair of wings seemed to sprout from her back, emerging from under her long black hair. She finally released the breath she held then flew to the town green with Pinkuashi at her side. Everyone else had to run to catch her.
At the green, the avasuke was being stared at by a number of people. Children were trying to go to touch the pokèmon but the parents were keeping them away. When they saw Kinakari flying towards them they all hurried off. At times like these it was best to not be around.
The goddess landed by the large bird and nodded to her. "Avasuke."
"Lady Kinakari," the purple bird said.
"You knew it was time, didn't you?"
"I always know." The pokèmon looked at Shigeru when he got to the edge of the green. "Shigeru."
"Hello, Avasuke," he said, walking to Kinakari's side.
Avasuke looked at the other three that had been behind him but that had stopped before they got to the green. "And hello you to you as well, Satoshi."
Takeshi was shocked. "She…she can talk?"
"Yes, I can."
"Avasuke? It is your time to leave now, isn't it," Kinakari asked, rather sad.
"Yes, my five hundred years are up at sunset." The pokèmon looked up to the warm sun. "I have done much for you in that time. It's time for my daughter to come into this world and take my place."
"I understand."
"Shigeru," she seemed to smile, looking at the man, "I wish for you to come with me."
"It would be an honor, Avasuke."
"And this time, you may ride on my back."
The man by Kinakari grinned. "Yes, that would be good."
"I'll have him bring my daughter to you. Though you know that she will not see anything of the future for some time."
"Yes. That is why I am so worried." The winged goddess looked down. "I wish I hadn't entrusted all of my prophetic powers to your ancestress, but it was supposed to happen like this, I guess."
The pokèmon nodded. "It was. Whatever the outcome is, I am sure it is what is supposed to be."
Shigeru climbed onto the prophecy pokèmon's back and then she flew off towards the mountains. Kinakari sighed. She had a feeling her brother had planned for it to be this way. To attack when the present avasuke passed on to bring her daughter into the world was a good tactic. She turned and walked to Satoshi, who was still looking in the direction the pokèmon had flown. His friends were beside him.
"Where did they go," Kasumi asked.
"To Avasuke's funeral."
"What," Takeshi and Kasumi said. Satoshi was still looking in the direction the bird gone.
"An avasuke can only live for *exactly* five hundred years. When that time is up, she must come here to die by one of her own attacks – phantom fire."
"So the pokèmon kills itself?"
"Yes, but the fire allows the egg that she keeps within her body to finish its development. When the avasuke you saw has turned to ash, the ready to hatch egg can be recovered. That is why Shigeru went with her. He'll bring back the hatchling. Though the hatchling will not be able to know the future for a full moon cycle."
"That is why you're so worried," Satoshi said, turning to her finally.
"Yes. Avasuke could not see past the start of the fight with my brother. By the time her daughter is able to see the future, the battle will have ended nearly a month before." Kinakari looked down then back to Satoshi. "You will need to meet with Eisen so he can tell you about the previous attack. He was one of the best trainers I had there."
"Was Eisen old enough to have been a trainer back then?" Kasumi looked at the goddess. "He seems to be only in his twenties."
"*He* isn't old enough. I'm talking about his grandfather. He is also called Eisen. You would not have met him. He practically lives in the Lev One RC." Kinakari sighed. "There's so much that needs to be done."
"I'm ready, Kinakari," Satoshi said with a smile.
Raimei nodded. "Pi pikachu."
"I am glad." She returned the smile, though quickly frowned. She felt he was not, though. "I'll have the older Eisen come see the three of you tonight at the Arbor Garden Café. Be there at sunset."
"Alright."
The goddess nodded to them then flew off. There was too much that needed to be done now. She was worried that she would not be ready…again. That had cost too many lives the last time. Now there were more than a dozen mewtwos at her brother's disposal and the technology that Sakaki had. That would take its toll. She could only hope that she would have the strength to do that which she had never done. Ginkaze's last attack had re-founded her hatred of him, the hatred she had had when he killed their father. This time she *would* do what she could not bring herself to do back then and every time she had met him since. This time she had to kill her brother.
