The bullet reached Ash's chest and penetrated the delicate flesh, stopping against the hard bone but, unfortunately hitting a vessel. The silvery fur stained with a thick, crimson colour. Ash yelped loudly as he felt the pain spreading across his tired body, his muscles twitching and contracting with the unbearable burning sensation. Elly felt her eyes itching with the feeling of tears drowning them, a few silent drops fell from her eyes and onto the floor, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" she yelled loudly. Suddenly her body glowed a bright, blueish colour, and it was engulfed completely in ice, a thick block of shining ice that glittered like a gigantic diamond. As soon as the ice broke a creature emerged from it, her body white with blueish highlights, her face that of eevee, but her ears were shorter, more triangular, fox like, and the strands of hair were spiked up like icicles, tree peaks on the top of her hears. Her whole fur was spiked, but it became sorter in the areas around the neck, the lower legs and the stomach and chest, becoming spiked across the back, and the long tail, and where the legs and arms were bornt. Suicune smiled proudly, "neayeon, the Eon of Ice!" she said inflating her chest.
Elly, the neayeon, landed in front of the rocket, and her mouth spread wide open, she released a bright, blueish beam of light, a beam that flew quickly in a zigzagging motion. Soon the beam broke in two, and then three arms, three little beams of frozen water that flew quickly torwards the man, three serpents of ice that tiwrled and spiraled around the other, zigzagging, hissing with an icy and threatening hiss, dancing with their hypnoticing moves of attraction to doom. The beam collided against the shocked rocket, and he screamed in a high pitched voice, a voice that was full of terror and fear. The serpents of ice that formed the ice beam slithered aroung the man, licking his body with their cold tounges, freezing his muscles and blood with their ice poison, and covering his structure with their frozen bodies. The man's scream vanished and all that was left was the ice statue of a person, an evil person dressed in the uniform of the most hated organization of the nation.
Elly breathed in deeply to clear her foggy mind, and her mind took only a second to analize the situation, she had evolved, but not into a beautiful espeon, elegant vaporeon, sinister umbreon, furry flareon or dashing jolteon, she had evolved into a half spirit hybrid, some cross betweent the electrifying jolteon and the beautiful suicune, in result was an ice beauty with amazing speed and spiked fur. Elly turned to Ash, who was laying on the floor, quivering, Pikachu by his side, a worried expresison on her face. His chest bore an open wound that still oozed blood, and a bit of that blood had ran down his fur and rested on the stone floor in a small puddle no larger than her paw, but it still emanated from the wound. Elly placed a paw on Ash's face and smiled weakly, "E…Elly…I…tried" Ash gasped in a weak, silent voice, almost as if he was chocking. Elly understood inmediatly the gravity of the situation, "shhh, don't talk, it's worse" she said tenderly yet her insides battled with a frozen fear, and her stomach had knotted with the pressure of knowledge.
Silver didn't see any of that, but she knew the situation was grave. She pushed her head back and plunged forward, inmediatly forcing the energy acumulated to flow torwards the desired target. Numerous,tiny beams of light flowed like shooting stars torwards the stone wall, the beams of light collided against each other, merging into a single, thick beam of dangerous energy. The aeroblast collided against the wall, but it was not enough to stop the magnitude of such attack. The wall gave in, enormous boulders that had once been part of mountains collapsed under the strength of the Untameable Sea Godess, splashing into the calm surface of the ocean to sink into it's misterious depths, to never be found.
Suicune nodded aprovingly and continuously leapt into the gap, landing into the ocean, and her elegant legs carried her away, trotting over the surface of the water, leaping with agility over the few waves that rose to lick her beautiful, glossy fur. Elly and Pikachu helped Ash onto the dragon's back, and inmediatly Silver leapt into the hole. The moon caressed enviously her beautiful, silvery feathers, and her enormous wings expanded to its enormous wingspan to let the winds carry her enromous body over the waves. Elly looked at Ash, he coughed a few times, and spit a mouthful of blood, and his eyes seemed dull, as if he was drifting off to sleep. Pikachu kept the espeon's head within her paws, but her expression was shocked and worried, "he's getting colder!" she exclaimed worriedly. Elly nodded, "I know…" she said looking at the rodent with simpathy. The dog's icy blue eyes focuse on the inmense head, "Silver! Faster, his lungs are flooded, he's…he's dying!" she yelled at the dragon, finishing with a pained voice, a slight stutter crowning the sound waves. Silver nodded, she knew, but she couldn't fly much faster or they were bound to fall off her back, however, the beach was now visible, not much longer till they reached Suicune and her healing magic.
Giovanni looked through the window, his fists clenched with fury as his eyes stared at the retreating figure of a pale, silver dragon flying across the skies, over the surface of the ocean. He growled like an enraged persian upon seeing his plans escaping with the aid of the animal, "it's the first time you outsmart me Silver, but I can assure you it'll be the last, next time I'll be ready, Lukiaya" he snarled with disgust, yet his mind processed the next evil plan to take over the government, or acumulate more wealth. He had done everything, from selling drugs, to weapons, to stealing pokemon for different purposes (mostly experimental) to stealing and selling diverse items that were of archeological interest. So, althought the loss of Neayeon and Suicune had been one to be angry about, specially since it had been a pokemon that had robbed him, it was not the end of the world, he had more plans and things to do.
Silver diminished her speed but let her stomach maked contact with the surface of the water, her wings still high and wide, she let herself slip over the ocean like a surfer. The dragon reached the beach where Suicune, Misty and Tracey were waiting, and her feathery chest hit the sand roughly. Misty gasped and covered her mouth with her hand but as she was about to race torwards the enormous dragon a strong hand stopped her. She turned around to meet the grave, dark eyes of Tracey, "it's their problem Misty, let them solve it, I have a feeling it's much deeper than the espeon being wonded" Tracey explained wisely, his Angel senses advicing him to not interfere with the nature of the events.
Elly and Pikachu helped dismount the now limp espeon from the dragon's back, a trail of blood being drawn on the pale, silvery feathers. He was placed in front of Suicune who examined him, his body still moved with a few, weak breath, and his heartbeat was nearly undetectable now, his body was medically dead for not even the best doctor could revive him, but for a Spirit there was still an option, if he deserved it. Elly looked at Suicune with pleading eyes, "he always wished to be human, to be with Misty, he loves her…Suicune please, I'll become the Mistress of the Woodland if you wish, but please grant him that he wishes the most" she barked with a pleading, broken voice. Suicune observed the canine with wise eyes, "are you sure that's what you want?" she asked calmly, as if time was not passing by, as if the creature in front of her was not in danger of perishing again. Elly nodded, tears flowing down her cheeks, "yes, I just want his happiness" she whimpered weakly. Suicune nodded and smiled, "your heart is noble, my child, I'll grant him what he wishes the most" Suicune explained in a solemn voice.
The dog's horn started glowing with a pale, aqua light, almot as if it was one of those items human use to light the night, yet this glow was magical, it was Suicune's magic. She placed the horn against Ash's body, and inmediatly the glow expanded across his body. The wound healed and the bullet crawled out, laying calmly onto the beach sand, still glowing with malice but now completely harmless. Ash seemed to take a deep breath and inmediatly his body was still, everyone's eyes were onto him, expectant, waiting to see what happened. As if by a miracle, Ash's eyes snapped open with shock, and his legs impulsed him up. He looked at himself, and a smile seemed to draw his lips, happiness made him irradiate a light, glow like Silver's natural light, "I'm alive!" he exclaimed looking around. Everyone's eyes were on him as if he was some weird thing, but Ash ignored them, his eyes running across everyone, trying to find the reassuring nod that showed him he was indeed alive again.
His eyes rested on Elly, and his features softened, "you are beautiful like that Elly!" he complimented in a soft, dreamy voice, his eyes glowing with desire. Elly took a deep breath and smiled back at him, "that which he desires the most" came that sentence back into her mind. And she understood, he wanted to be espeon, not human, he didn't want to be human, something kept him back into pokemon form, and he had also discovered he had nothing left in his human world, his loved one had a mate, and his pokemon was happy to know he was alive, so he had nothing left there. Silver stood up and smiled, "it is time I leave, my task here is finished, Ash, it's been great knowing you" Silver said with a smile. She raised her head to the sky and moaned her song, a loud, light and gentle song that grew across the clear athmosphere. With a vigorous flapping of her wings, Silver flew up into the sky, she spinned on the air and collapsed against the water, diving in and vanishing with an enormous splash, it pointed the end of Ash's first adventure as a pokemon, and the end of the danger to the world's woodlands.
The male espeon looked at Pikachu with a saddened smile, "well Pika pal, it's been great seeing you again, and having another adventure with you, but I belong to nature now, and you are a tame pokemon, take care of Misty for me ok?" he said in a sad voice, but trying hard to remain cool. Pikachu nodded and hugged him tightly with her thick, little arms, "I'll miss you, Ash" she said with a chocked whimper. Ash patted er back and smiled sadly, his eyes directed to the night sky and a few tears dropped across his cheeks, two stars running across his face "I'll miss you too Pikachu, but hey!" he said in a drowned voice, pulling he apart and drawing a smile across his lips, "we'll meet again, ok? Now don't you cry, this is not good bye, it's a see you later, got it?" he said in a cheerful bark. Pikachu rubbed away a tear and smiled weakly, "got it!" she said in a faint voice, but trying hard to be as cheerful as Ash was trying to appear. With that Pikachu ran torwards Misty and leapt on her arms. Misty grabbed the little rodent and hugged her, "you big girl, what did you do?" she asked hiding her face of her furry neck and blowing into it. Pikachu giggled and played back with the girl. Misty looked at the two dogs and smiled, "thank you" she said and nodded. Ash and Elly nodded back at her, and both barked a goodbye in unision. Both, Elf and Angel retreated back into the forest, to continue the journey they had long started, and the one they still had to finish. Pikachu waved back at Ash and a tear rolled down her cheek, sorrowful, yet her heart was still light for she truly believe there would be a day they will meet again. Ash looked at Pikachu and smiled, he couldn't help a tear from escaping his eyes, but remained silent, he knew they would most likely never meet again but still remained hopeful that he was mistaken for he truly wanted to meet his best friend again.
Ash turned around to thank Suicune, but she had already vanished, dissapeared as misteriously as she had appeared into his life, but leaving him the most precious thing he could ever ask for, his eyes gazed down at the beautiful creature next to him. Elly smiled back but a question seemde to nag her mind, "Ash, whwy did you want to remain as a pokemon?" she asked timidly, wondering the truth of the answer. Ash smiled tenderly at her and leaned in closer, "because I love you!" he stated simply. Soon his lips made contact with hers in the closest thing as a kiss that he could get.
Elly and Ash lived wild in the nature, happy about their freedom and about their new found love. They encountered a pack of espeons and managed to defeat their leaders, becoming Alpha male and female. The pack followed them faithfully and they soon became leaders of the woodlands where they resided. A year after, Elly gave birth to two wonderful eevee pups, Ash's pride, and their future. Suicune's eyes still observing them and taking care of her daughter and her pups, Suicune's only hope.
END
AN: finally, it's finished! Liked it? I really enjoyed writing it, perhaps te end is a bit rushed but I'm usually bad with finishing stuff, and I thought I'd introduce a bit about the pokemon's future, would have introduced about Silver but that would be spoiling future ideas for her. Well, please take a peek at my other stories, k?
