Chapter XXVIII- Fateful Battle
As soon as we had gotten off the S.S. Aqua I phoned mom to tell her that we
would be home later than expected because we were going to go battle a gym farther
away. She wasn't too thrilled, but she was happy we were seeing some places other than
our beach at home. Erika tied our trunks and stuff to our pokemon, and we set off to the
north-east tword Mahogany town. We flew over forests and even the famous National
Park outside of Goldenrod city. I tried to remember all the names, but some of them were
pretty complicated, so I gave up after a while. By the time we got to Mahogany town, it
was about 10:30. We stopped at the pokemon center to heal hem up and grab a quick bite
before we challanged Clarissa. After we finished eating and picked up our pokemon, we
headed to the gym, but Jarod agread to show us his house first.
"Wow!" I said as I looked at the gate.
"It's huge!!" Erika said and looked up at the windows that spaned for at least three floors.
"My parents moved here before I was born." He said and turned twords the gym. "But, I
never spent a lot of time anywhere in there except my room. My parents were intent on
making me the best little boy, but I loved to misbehave. I would take Growly's bone and
throw it into the garden, so he would go get it, and mother would be mad that all her
flowers had been trampled..." He said and began to walk away.
"Wait up!" I said and both me and Erika ran over to him.
"Come on, Clarissa is probobly waiting for us." He said and we brushed it off. We walked
to the gym, which was practically next door, and walked into it's cave-like entrance. I
looked around, but only saw ice.
"Follow me, " He said and took my hand. "There should be a secret passage right to
Clarissa unless they found it..." We walked behind Jarod quietly and found ourselves in a
huge room with ice-looking tile floors and walls. "Here it is!" He said and looked around.
He let go of my hand, and looked around for something on the right wall. "There!" He
said and flipped a switch. Stadium lights turned on to reveal Clarissa standing on the
other side.
"Jarod! Nice to see you after such a long time." She said and grabbed a pokeball. "Are
these two Marcy and Erika?" She said looking at us backwards.
"This is Marcy, and her best friend Erika..." He said redirecting her, "and they have come
to challange you." He finished and stood back.
"Very well, you may go at the same time if you wish." She said and grabbed the other
pokeball with her other hand.
"hugh?" I said and called Raichu back into his Masterball.
"The rules are a little different in Jhoto girls. If you like, you may both go at the same
time." She repeated herself.
"All right!" Erika said enthusiasticlly.
"Right!" I said and grabbed White Blazes' pokeball.
"You will use one pokemon each. If either of your pokemon are unable to battle, then that
person loses. I will use two pokemon, and you must decide which pokemon you want to
attack." She said and threw out the two pokeballs she had in her hands.
"Go girls, go!!" Jarod yelled and took a seat on the floor behind and between us.
"Charizard go!" Erika yelled and he flew out onto the ice-tile.
"White Blaze, go!" I yelled and threw her pokeball out. Clarissa had sent out a Jynx and a
Dewgong. "I'll take the Jynx! White Blaze, confuse ray!"
"K! Charizard, attack that Dewgong! Fly!" Charizard flew up as high as it could go, and
went into a dive bomb, while White Blaze made a high pitched sound that confused Jynx.
"Dewgong, Jynx, Ice Beam!" Clarissa yelled and Dewgong tried to freeze Charizard, but
he was really fast. Jynx on the other hand, tried to slap White Blaze. She got her a few
times but I yelled out, "White Blaze, Double Team!" She split into seperate images and
surrounded Jynx, "now bite!" I finished, and White Blaze bit her as she went around.
Charizard dived into Dewgong and hit it hard.
"Dewgong, tail whip, Jynx! Ice Punch!" Dewgong slapped Charizard and Jynx punched
White Blaze. The fell down next to each other cracking the ice open a little.
"White Blaze, Flamethrower!" I yelled and she slowly got up, letting out a burst that
engulfed Jynx. "Charizard! You too!" Charizard did the same and ko.ed Dewgong.
"Dewgong, return! Jynx, use sing! Jynx!!" She yelled, but Jynx went into a Hyper beam.
"Hey!!!?? White Blaze jump!" I yelled and she quickly jumped out of the way.
"Charizard, fly up quick!!!" Erika yelled, but he jumped quickly infront of her to sheild
her from the blast. Then I jumped to the side and dogged it.
"Jarod!!!" I yelled as he tried to get up out of the way. But it was going to be too close.
"Jarod!!!! RUN!!" I couldn't stand it, I got onto my feet and jumped infront of him.
"MARCY!!!!???" Erika yelled and ran over to us. Charizard moved to follow her but,
slipped on the ice, and slid into her smashing her against the wall.
"NOOOO!!" I yelled as the Hyper beam hit me. There was a massive bright light and I
flew back into Jarods open arms and was compleatly stunned. I couldn't move. I hurt so
bad all over. "uh...." I muttered, and Jarod laid me down on the ground.
"Mar...cy...why?" He said as his eyes filled with tears. I didn't say anything, I just starred
at Erika, lying on the ground, and Charizard half-on top of her. "Marcy?" He said and
picked my head up. "Please...Angel...hold on..." He hugged me then continued to speak,
"Marcy?" Jarod mumbled under his breath then suddenly I was in even worse pain.
"ahhgg!(slight high pithched squeak)" I said and began to cry.
"MARCY!" He yelled and began to cry too.
"Er...i...ka..." I said slowly, but she didn't move. "Plea....se...you...can't......" I rolled over
out of Jarods arms and landed next to Erika.
"Marc.....?" He said quietly and crawled over to us. I could feel him put his hand on my
back. I didn't want to live without Erika. I took a deep breathe then just stopped breathing.
"Marcy???!!!" He yelled.
(Gomen Otaku() Note that from this point on the story will be told in the third person
point of view.)
Suddenly, Jarod could see the ice cracking open and something huge flying out, and heard
Clarissa yell, "Lugia!!! I've gotta have it!!" and then instruct Jynx to punch it. But, it
turned to Jynx and sang something so magnificant, it was like nothing ever heard before.
Not even Articuno's call was this beautiful. It instantly put Jynx to sleep and it came
closer to Jarod.
"Stay....stay back!" He yelled as he held Marcy closer. Then Charizard, next to them, got
up and roared at Lugia. Lugia pulled a stone from underneath it's wing and pointed it to
Charizard. Then, it did something amazing; it spoke.
"Charizard. You were brave to try and help your master. Though your efforts were futile,
take this for you're loyalty. Touch the Mist stone and you will become something great..."
Charizard slowly examined the stone then cautiously touched his nose to the it, and Jarod
turned to face Lugia . Charizard began to glow a red color, and evolved. He became a
beautiful sleak lavender color dragon with cream-colored wings and bat veins. His neck
was long and he had a triangular shaped head with an ebony colored jewel on his
forehead. But it wasn't fire that was at the end of his tail or running up his back, it was a
sort of mist. As Jarod starred at the awsome scene he slowly realized that Marcy was still
not moving. Then a creeping terror flooded his eyes as he then thought that she might not
wake up.
"...futile...Angel...no, NO!!!" Jarod stroked Marcy's back slowly, hoping it would revive
her. He pounded the ground hard with his fist as he began to cry. "Marcy!! How......why?"
He fell onto his hands crying and gripping imaginary dirt. "This is....all my fault....I never
should have brought them here...Marcy!!! Erika!!" He picked Marcy up into his arms and
strokes Erika's back as well. She also appears lifeless. Then, Lugia spoke again,
"Jarod...Do you love this girl?" refering to Marcy. Jarod stopped crying for a moment and
looked at Lugia,
"Yes. With all my heart." He said and looked back to her. "She's....my Angel"
"Why do you call her that?" Lugia asked.
"She was the only person in pokemon tech that would make friends with me despite my
attemps. She was the only person...that I ever really....cared for!! And it's all my fault!!!
Now she really is an Angel....She risked her life to save me...and now..." He said and
continued to cry. Lugia starred at Jarod, who starred at the ground crying still.
"I will help you." She said.
"wha...bu..." He stutered as he caught his breathe.
"But only if you will do something for me." Lugia said and bent down close to Marcy's
body. "Promise me, that you will love her forever." She said and closed her eyes.
"Of course. That's a promise. She has the ring I gave her." He said and began to calm
down. She moved her nose close to Marcy and said, "A ring means nothing; it's the true
love behind it that counts." and she began to glow white. As she lifted her head, she used
confusion to lift them up off the ground. Jarod stood up and watched as Angel wings
appeared on them both, then faded. They both were laid back on the ground, and they
both moved a little.
(ok, from here on in, the story is told in first person again...^_^() Gomen Otaku)
"uh....." I said as I slowly sat up. But I was suddenly, and nearly, knocked over by Jarod.
He hugged me tight and his eyes filled with tears as he held my head. "Jar...od?" I said.
"Oh Marcy!" He said and then began to cry.
"Erik...a" I said still a little dizzy. I turned to see her sitting next to me.
"Marc!" Erika said and also jumped ontop of me.
"I...feel weak..." I said slowly and began to get even more dizzy. "ahgg..." Jarod held onto
me tight and said,
"It's gonna be all right, Angel."
"uh, I know...but, I feel so strange..." I grabbed onto Jarod and began to cry.
"What's wrong?" He said as he wipped his face.
"I....I don't know...." I said and hugged him tight.
"Lugia....what's..." Jarod started, but I didn't hear the rest of it. I just totally passed out. I
had no idea what was wrong with me. It's not like me to do that just all of a sudden. It's
not like me at all. Usually, if I feel dizzy or faint, I can keep myself awake, but, this was
just so sudden I didn't have time to react. Oh, poor Jarod! He must be so worried about
me. But the strangest thing is, I could have swore I died. No, that's impossible. How
could I be passed out right now if I had died. Uh! It doesn't make sense. Uhgg! that hurt!!
I have to get up. I have to find a way. I can't let them worry about me any longer!!!!
Next thing I knew when I came back was that I had wings. Ok, this is REALLY
weird. I thought. I thought I had died again but as soon as I realized I was in a house that
wasn't mine, I thought otherwise. I had beautiful angel wings that were laying on the bed.
I looked around for who knows what, and found that it was a very large room decorated
with Pegesedon's and Ho-oh's. Suddenly, the door to the room open and shut. I turned my
head to see Jarod walking in.
"ANGEL!!!" Jarod yelled and ran over to the bed. "You woke up!!" He said then grabbed
my hand.
"What's going on??!! Where am I?? Why am I here?? And most importantly, why do I
have wings??????!!!!!" I was getting hesteric.
"Marcy! Whoa! Whoa! Just calm down and I'll explain everything!!!"
As soon as we had gotten off the S.S. Aqua I phoned mom to tell her that we
