1I'm starting to get less interested in this story. I accept constructive criticism, but please don't flame. Sorry for the long wait, I've been extremely busy these days and also having some writes block. I'm pretty much over it. Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
The last time we left our heroine: "I...I have ears. And a tail...and a really cute outfit." I said spinning around. "I have fairy wings!" I said. Bliss smiled.
"Good, are you ready to take on your first challenge?" Bliss said with a sly smirk on her face.
"Huh?"
What will happen now?
Midnight City
"What do you mean with, are you ready to take on your first challenge?" Cream asked. Bliss' smile just grew bigger.
"The test...to see if you truly qualify to protect the emerald." Bliss said.
"But...I transformed...I made it to this room...I hold this odd looking staff. Doesn't it already mean something?" I asked not believing what I just said. I was pretty freaked out about all this, and this was only my second day traveling!
"Well, I want to make sure that I don't do the same mistake again like I did with Emerald. SO I want to see if you can really handle the powers. If you can't, then you're not the one either. Are you ready?" Bliss asked. I thought for a while. This was starting to get really weird, I thought we were talking about Pokémon! Now I'm some girl with all these weird things that I have to do. I then thought about our previous conversation. Now I have to save the world...from what? I sighed then nodded.
"Very well then. This is what you have to do" The entire room started swirling and then we were standing in the middle of a field. I saw a injured Pokémon on the floor. I looked at Bliss. "You have to find out what is wrong with that Pokémon and heal whatever aches it." My eyes widened. Find out what's wrong with it and heal it? How am I supposed to do that?
I walked over to the injured Pokémon. It was big and pink. I reached for my Pokédex when my Pokédex magically appeared in my hand.
"Clefable, the Fairy Pokémon. A timid Fairy that is rarely seen, it will run and hide the moment it senses people."
"Oh." I looked at the Clefable. It seemed to be in a lot of pain. "You poor thing, I wish I could help you somehow..." I said putting my hand on its head. Suddenly...it was as if I could read the Pokémons mind.
'Ouch, my leg hurts. Oww, I can't move.'Clefable thought. I quickly retracted my hand. What just happened? Okay...so the Clefables leg hurts... How do I heal that? I got up and looked at the staff in my hand. I then looked at the Clefable and passed my hand over its injured leg, it tensed up, but after a while it calmed down. 'I could run...but what is the use, I can't eve get up...' The Clefable thought. I felt really sorry for it. Suddenly my hand started glowing as I kept massaging its leg. When I removed my hand the Clefable was cured. I was really surprised, and so was the Clefable. It got up and looked at me, then it smiled. Suddenly it disappeared and the entire field disappeared as well. Bliss walked up to me.
"Congratulations, it seems to me that you are the chosen one."Bliss said. I looked at her for a while.
"What now?" I asked. When I asked that the entire black space that was supposed to be a room started swirling, making me dizzy. I transformed back into my old self and fainted.
Sparky's POV (Note that this is when Cream fused with the Crystal...yes, she fused with the crystal)
I was knocked hard against the wall. For a moment I lost control over my transformation, but then I quickly regained my control. When I opened my eyes I saw nothing. I bolted up.
"Where's Cream?" I asked. Chris was sitting next to me and just woke up. I started shaking him, "Hey, dude, have you seen Cream?" I asked panicked.
"Hey, stop shaking me!" He said and pushed me off. He got up and wiped the dust off of his shirt. I quickly got up and started shaking him again.
"Dude, have you seen Cream?" I asked panicked. Chris pushed me off of him again and replied.
"Last I remember she got hit by a Dragon Rage attack." Chris said. I closed my eyes, thinking about what happened a few minutes ago. I gasped.
"Cream! She what...she must have fused with the crystal!" Sparky said. Chris just laughed.
"Where did you get that stupid idea from? Tch, you're so very pathetic, you should here yourself talking. Oh, Cream, where's Cream? Have you seen my Cream?" Chris said, emphasizing the word my. I blushed.
"What do you mean my Cream? We're just good friends." I said fast, maybe a little too fast. Chris raised a brow in amusement.
"Hey, what's that? A blush! Hah, you have a crush on Cream, don't you?" Chris laughed. I blushed an even darker red.
"That is so not true! We are just really good friends." I said again.
"Haha, yeah right. Then why are you blushing?" Chris asked with a huge smirk on his face.
"Well...um...I was blushing because..." I started.
"You don't have a reason. Do you know why? That's because you have a crush on Cream! Cream of all the other girls in the world, you fell for Cream!" Chris said. He started laughing like a mad man, and I was turning redder than a tomato, but not from embarrassment, no, from rage.
"So, you find me blushing a laughing matter eh laughing boy?" I said coldly. Sparks of electricity were emitting from my body, but Chris was laughing too hard to notice that. I was about to attack him when suddenly I heard a rustling sound, "What was that?" Chris stopped laughing.
"What was what?" Chris asked, whipping a tear from his eye. Then both our eyes fell on a little girl who was curled up in a ball.
"Emerald!" I yelled. I was so worried about Cream that I completely forgot about Emerald. I walked over to her and sat down right next to her. I put her head lap and I put my hand on her chest.
"Ooh, looks like Sparky here is a playa and a pervert." Chris said grinning wildly. I glared at her.
"For your information, I'm checking if she's still breathing. She was in a trance and didn't look to well. I want to make sure that she's still alive after all that, okay?" I said a bit annoyed. I can see why Cream doesn't like him very much.
"Yeah, whatever." Chris said and sat down next to me, "Well, is she still breathing." He asked with a bit more concern in his voice. I nodded and removed my hand. We sat there for a few minutes. I was pretty relived that Emerald was still alive after all that, but on the other hand Cream was nowhere to be found. Every second that passed made me worry even more. Maybe she was...
I shook my head. No...that couldn't be true. She's somewhere with Bliss, I'm sure that Bliss wouldn't let anything bad happen to her. I looked at Chris who was petting Star. I slapped myself mentally. I was so worried about Cream and Emerald that I also forgot about Star. I was surprised that Star was letting Chris pet him. I looked at Star for a while, then at Chris. Suddenly Chris looked me.
"What?" Chris asked annoyed.
"N-nothing." I said and looked at Emerald who was still unconscious. Sitting here in quiet wouldn't do me any good. Maybe I can start a conversation. "Um...Chris."
Chris sighed, "What?"
"I was wondering...how long do you know Cream?" Chris raised a brow.
"Why do you wanna know?"
"Well, you don't have to answer me. I just wanted to start a conversation, that's all." I said looking at the opposite direction of Chris.
"Well...I haven't really thought about that... I suppose...ever since I moved to Suta Town." Chris replied to my earlier question. I was surprised that he even replied to me in the first place. "And you," He started, "How long do you know Cream?"
"Well...I just met her by coincidence at the Pokémon Center. She looked pretty lost and I decided to help her." I said.
"Hn." Was his reply.
"Why do you hate Cream so much?" I asked, curios to know why they despised each other so much. Chris stared at me with wide eyes.
"Whoever told you that I hate Cream?"
"Um...the way you behave around her?" I said as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
"Hey, don't judge a book by its cover okay?" He said a bit angry, "I never said I hated her. We just don't get along very well, okay?"
"Aah, but why don't you two get along? Cream is a very easy-going person." I asked, curios to learn more.
"I don't know. That's just the way it is." Chris said. I know he was getting annoyed. Star looked at me. He knew what I was up to, Eevees are smart creatures.
"Don't you want to get along with Cream?" I asked.
"No...yes...maybe." He said. He removed his hand from Star's head and pulled hi knees up.
"Then why do you only bicker with each other? Why don't you two try to get along? Look at the thing both of you like?"
"Because...well...um...er...because..." He didn't have an answer. Hah, what a pleasant turn of events, now he's the embarrassed one. I smirked. I was about to continue questioning him when I saw a tear. I was shocked, I didn't think my game went that far. I mean, I've heard of the saying 'you always hurt the one toy love' and I thought it was the same with them. But I wasn't sure, so I decided to ask him some questions to learn more...know I feel kinda sorry for the guy.
"Hey dude, I didn't mean to make you cry." I said in a soft tone. I gasped, I don't think he noticed that he was crying.
"I...I'm not crying...I just got something in my eye." He said wiping the tears off of his face. I smiled softly. Sure you weren't crying. Well, I guess asking him more questions is out of the question. And there was still no sign of Cream or Bliss. I thought for a while.
Hey Chris, I was wondering, are you in the mood for a short Pokémon battle?" I asked. He looked at me with his crystal blue eyes. He thought for a while and nodded. "Okay, it'll be a two-on-two Pokémon battle since you only have two Pokémon.
"Okay, prepare to lose." Chris said. He was his old cocky self again, which made me happy. I gently put Emerald down and goy up.
"Okay, let's begin. Go, I-Ro!" I yelled and threw a Pokéball, and out popped I-Ro my Aron.
"Aron eh? Well I choose Lunatone!" Chris yelled, "Lunatone, use Confusion!" I-Ro got covered in a red aura and started floating upward. Suddenly he got slammed hard against the caves wall.
"I-Ro! Don't give up, use Tackle!" I yelled and I-Ro started running towards Lunatone.
"Lunatone, use Protect!" Lunatone covered himself in a green shield and I-Ro bounced back to the ground. "Now, use Tackle!"
"I-Ro, Harden!" I-Ro Hardened a bit causing the Tackle to do less damage.
"Hmph, try this, Lunatone, Confusion!" Chris said, and I-Ro got slammed in the wall again and fainted.
"Oh...I-Ro. You deserve a nice long rest." I said and he disappeared into his Pokéball, "Okay, now I use Torrent!" I said sending out my Mudkip.
"What is up with you and your nicknames? Anyway, Lunatone, use Confu-"
"Not this time, Torrent, use Sand-Attack!" I said. Torrent kicked up a big pile of sand and it hit Lunatone. Lunatone closed his eyes and tried to shake the sand off of him, "Now while he's off guard, Water Pulse!" Torrent shot a big ring of water out of his mouth and it hit Lunatone causing Lunatone to faint.
"What the...?" Chris said is shock.
"Long days of training really pays off." I said with a smirk.
"Feh, I choose you, Ralts!" He said, "Ralts, use Confusion!" Ralts slowly lifted Torrent off of the ground. It then quickly slammed Torrent into the floor again.
"Torrent, don't give up, Water Pulse!" I screamed. Another ring of water shot out of his mouth.
"Ralts, use Disable!" Chris yelled. Ralts' eyes glowed blue, the ring stopped right in front of him, "Now, Confusion!" Ralts sent the ring of water straight back to Torrent, knocking out Torrent.
"How...how did that happen?" I asked in disbelief, "After just one Water Pulse and a Confusion he fainted. How is that possible?"
"Ralts was my first Pokémon. I caught Lunatone with Ralts. Did you see how thought Lunatone was? I hope that answers your question." Chris said. I sighed and called Torrent back.
"You did a good job Torrent." I said looking at the Pokéball, then I looked at Chris, "Your not half that bad either." I said. I heard movement and turned around. Emerald was waking up. I rushed to her side. I didn't want her to wake up in a big dark cave and not see anyone she knows. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Sparky?" She asked confused. I smiled and nodded. "Sparky...where are we? What happened? And...where's Cream and Bliss?" she asked. I sighed.
"We're still in Mt. Stardust and I don't really understand what happened to you...but as for Bliss and Cream... I have no idea where they are." I said. Emerald's eyes widened in horror.
"This is all my fault...isn't it..." She said softly. A lonely tear trickling down her face. I wiped the tear away and shook my head.
"Nu-uh, this is those bad guys fault." I said.
"Sheesh, so mushy. Speaking about weird and weirder, where did they disappear to?" Chris asked. He did have a point, I wonder where they could be.
With Kai and Kri
"What...just happened a few minutes ago? And I'm not talking about that battle." Kai asked Kri.
"I really don't know. All I remember was that You told your Dragen to use Dragon Rage and the attack accidentally hit that girl. Then all off a sudden there was this big flash of light and the crystal disappeared along with that girl and Pokémon."
"Hmm, yes, but where did they go?"
"I already told you, I don't know!" Kri said a bit annoyed. They were now hiding behind a very conveniently placed rock. They were both wondering what had happened, when suddenly.
"Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep!" They're tracker device went off. Kri hesitantly grabbed it and turned the volume down, they both looked up to see if the others heard them and were relieved to know that they weren't discovered. They then looked at the screen and saw their boss.
"B-b-boss, w-wha?" Kai stuttered.
"Do you have the crystal?" A low, calm, dark voice said. His face was hidden behind the shadows, but his eyes had an eerie blue glow.
"W-well, about the crystal boss." Kri started.
"Do you have it or not?" He said again, some annoyance was clearly visible in his voice.
"Well...um...no..." They both said in unison.
"WHAT! I SENT YOU TWO ON A SIMPLE RETRIEVE MISSION AND YOU FAILED!" He yelled.
"B-boss, we can explain." Kri said.
"NO, THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER. I WANT YOU TWO IN MY OFFICE-" Kai snapped.
"WILL YOU JUST LET US FINISH OUR SENTENCE ALREADY? Damn it, it disappeared along with that Pokémon and some girl. It wasn't our fault, we were doing fine!" Kai said. Kri and their boss were surprised at Kai's outbreak. Their boss smiled and evil smile.
"So...the legends were right." He said and chuckled, "Well, looks like you two weren't so useless after all. I want you to report to headquarters immediately." He said and the screen went black. They both looked at each other. Suddenly, there was a blue flash of light.
Normal POV
There was a blue flash of light and suddenly Bliss and Cream appeared. Sparky quickly got up and caught Cream who was unconscious. Bliss just sat there, looking at them.
"Cream, wake up. Cream!" Sparky said. Cream slowly opened her eyes and stared right into Sparky's worried crystal blue eyes. They stared a while at each other, and when they realized how long they were standing like that. Sparky quickly put Cream down. Chris whistled.
"Ooh, looks like love is in the air." Chris said with a smirk. Sparky and Cream blushed an even darker shade of red. Emerald ran over to Bliss and hugged her.
"Bliss! You're okay, I'm so happy." She said with a huge smile. Bliss smiled too, she suddenly heard some rustling noises and turned to see what it was. It were Kai and Kri. She could have told Cream that they were there, she could have attacked them herself...but she didn't. She just watched as they made their great escape.
"So Cream...what happened?" Sparky asked Cream after the long moment of silence. She sighed.
"It's a long story. I'll tell ya on the way out." Cream said.
Mt. Stardust-Outside
"Your kidding me." Was Sparky's reply as they walked into the sunlight. Cream shook her head.
"Nope, as weird as it sounds, it's true." Cream said.
"So you want me to believe that you are now suddenly some protector of some sort?" Chris asked. Cream glared at him.
"You don't have to believe me ya know. You can just ignore me like you always do." She said with a annoyed. He just smirked.
"What would you say if I said that I believed you?" Chris asked with a smirk. Cream stared at Chris.
"You...you actually believe me?" Cream asked.
"So what if I do? Can't I for once be nice to you?" He asked with the same smirk.
"Well...no." Cream mumbled under her breath. Sparky just shook his head. Sparky looked at Emerald who was ridding on Bliss.
"Hey Cream, what are we gonna do about Emerald? We can't leave her alone, can we?" Sparky asked. Cream shook her head.
"No...I guess we can't just leave her...then again, we can't bring her with us either...and she doesn't exactly have anyone else to take care of her." Cream said. Suddenly Bliss spoke.
"Don't worry about Emerald, she'll be fine. I'll take care of her, you two continue." She the looked at Cream,"And Cream, don't forget what you have to do." Bliss said. Cream nodded and Bliss ran away into the forest.
"So...what now?" Sparky asked.
"Well, I think that we should be going to Midnight City." Chris said almost sarcastically.
"Wait a minute, what is this we that you are talking about?" Cream asked.
"Well, it's rather obvious that we are both going the same way, since there are no other place to go from here. We might as well go together." Chris said.
"Well...Chris does have a point there Cream." Sparky said. Cream glared and sighed.
"Very well than, let's go to Midnight City." Cream said.
TBC?
CC: Gods, I don't get enough comments on this, I'd really like some nice criticism if you have any. If I don't get more reviews I'll stop completely. And furthermore, Cream is not a faerie, but if you like, I'll get rid of the faerie wings. Nyways, review please! -begs-
