Authors Note:
I'm almost starting to panic, only ten episodes left... Anyway, now, it's time for the second gym challenge (finally.. I must be the only one who have a fic when the second gym comes in the 30th chapter....)
Anyway, as always, thanks to all reviewers, and hope you stay with me until the end.....
Anyway, don't forget to push that blue button, OK?
And I'm sorry for this fic, being a little dark and tragic the last time.... It's just getting darker, and I'll try to make it with little more humor...
Yeah, my cheap, worthless humor....
And Mickey... The Pokemon survived, Rin and Carrie recalled them into their Pokeballs before they got buried by the stones....
................................
Jason was whole again.
Not until now, he realized that something was missing inside him when Carrie and Teddyursa was not around.
Carrie was very happy to see Teddyursa, and Rin and Amber quickly fell in love with the little bear.
The four left the hospital the next day.
Both Amber and Rin had decided to join Jason and Carrie, and the four was now heading against Dehandra Village, where the next gym and its gym leaders awaited them.
Jason felt afraid to look Carrie in the eyes. Everytime he turned against her, he blushed and looked away.
Here they were. Carrie, Teddyursa, and himself, all three alive and healthy, even though Teddyursa still had bandages around its paws and head.
And with two new companions, they were back on the road.
Jason wondered how Teddyursa survived the fall. Luckily, Jason was saved by Amber, but Teddyursa....
The nurse said that Teddyursa came through the doors, barely knowing where it was.
He pushed away those thoughts. Teddyursa was alive.
That was the most important thing of all.
..............................
They reached Dehandra at sunset, and exhausted they stumbled in on the restaurant next to the PokéCenter.
"Give us food!" Rin mumbled like a sleepwalking zombie.
Teddyursa rode Vixen over to an empty table with seats for four, and the three humans and the robot sat down as the waiter arrived.
"What would you like?" he asked politely.
"Four hamburgers." Rin said.
"Four...hamburgers.... Okay." The waiter turned around with a smooth gesture, and went towards the kitchen when Jason grabbed him.
"Hey! What about us three?"
.........................................
They all ate under silence... well, except for Rin, she was chewing like a monster, taking bigger bites every time.
"You hungry, Rin?" Jason asked and smiled.
Since there was no other guests in the restaurant, the four had released their Pokémon, and they were all eating from the many tins of Pokémon food that they had ordered.
"Are you taking the gym challenges?" Carrie asked Rin and Amber.
Amber shook her head, and Rin did too.
"Nah... I have four badges from Hoenn, I didn't come here for the gym challenges." Rin said between the chewing. "I came to explore the grand nature, and maybe catch some new Pokémon, so that I can continue to win the badges over at Hoenn."
Amber didn't say anything. She was so quiet when they were all together.
Jason could barely talk to her now, she just sat there and moved around in her rice with her fork.
"What's our next gym, Carrie?" Jason asked as he finished his pizza. '
"Well, it lies about three kilometers from here. The gym leaders are.... Derek and... Michael. Their specialty is electric Pokémon."
"What a shocker!" Jason said, trying to joke, but the only one who was laughing was Rin.
She smiled as she gave the last piece of her hamburger to her Absol Yin- Yang.
"I'm full."
"Me too."
"Let's go find somewhere to stay the night, OK?"
They recalled their Pokémon, and headed towards the PokéCenter, where they hoped to stay the night.
.....................
"I'll stay with you Carrie." Rin said, and the two went into their room.
Jason opened his door, and let Amber in first.
It was a double bed, and Jason sank down on it with Teddyursa in his arms.
He soon fell asleep, without even removing his jacket and shoes.
And then his nightmares came.
.............................................
Amber couldn't sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the nightmares came.
The horrible memories that she had buried deep inside her pushed through as soon as she laid down to sleep.
Every night.
She cursed the scientists...
She hoped that no one else had gone through what she had on the laboratories.
But somehow, she felt connected to Jason.
Like an invisible bond, linking their souls.
It was something special with him too. .
They had something in common, she knew it.
But what?
She pushed away the thoughts, and she closed her eyes.
The visions came as usual, but she had learned to live with it, and she soon fell asleep.
............
There he was.
That man. Reaching out his arms, grabbing him, choking him, making him suffocate.
That nightmare returned as soon as Jason fell asleep.
And it kept haunting him.
He woke up abrubtly by a cold breeze that swept through the open window.
Teddyursa was sleeping right next to him.
Suddenly, he thought he saw something, sweeping past the window.
He got up, and looked out. The streets were empty.
He went to bed again.
And the nightmare returned as soon as he fell asleep.
....................................
It was early in the morning when they set off against the gym.
The gym was an small factory that had been abandoned, and it was placed in the middle of a large field.
Cautiously, Carrie knocked on the door, and the moment afterwards, a blond young man opened it.
"Oh, new challengers.... This early... Come on in."
It was amazing how nice it looked inside, totally renovated. Harmless electricity danced in the corridors, providing a excellent light.
They soon reached the main room, where a gigantic battle field had been made.
On each side, there was a huge pillar that the trainer would be standing on, and it even had a electronic scoreboard on the wall.
"This is nice..." Rin mumbled, as a black-haired man entered the hall.
"You're here for a challenge?" he asked and smiled. "My name is Michael... If you pass the challenge, you'll get the chance to meet me and Derek in a double match on this battle field."
"Who of you is going to take the challenge?" Derek asked.
"I am." Jason said.
"Me too." Carrie said.
"Okay, you two come with us." Michael said. "And you girls stay here, OK?"
Amber and Rin nodded.
They left the factory, and began their walk.
"Wonder what awaits us now?" Jason said and smiled. "I guess it couldn't be worse than the ride down the river."
"Don't bet on it, Jason."
....................................
Jason noticed how the sky turned darker and darker the further they came.
It was strange, since the sky was blue and the sun shone on this side.
Teddyursa sat on his shoulder as usual, and Jason felt excited.
Finally, everything was back to normal again.
He threw a quick glance on Carrie who was walking a few meters in front of him.
He would do anything to make sure that they was never apart again.
The field was replaced by a rocky area with little to no grass, and big amounts of dust whirled around them when they walked.
Eventually, they reached a deep valley, and they halted. The sky was pitch- black, and they could hear thundering on distance.
"Here's your challenge." Michael said with a hand-gesture, showing them the valley.
"Your goal is to get to a deserted power plant in the end of the valley, and bring back a Thunder Badge from there. You'll win that Thunder Badge if you defeat us in a double match. But first, you have to pass the challenge."
"Doesn't sound to hard." Jason said, feeling a big weight fall of his chest.
"It is." Derek insured. "The valley is populated by hundreds of electric Pokémon. That's why the sky is so black, and that's why you can hear the thunder, which is in fact coming from the Pokémon. I warn you, they are all very aggressive, and they will attack you if you come close."
"They are everywhere." Michael said and smiled. "No matter how you do, you can't avoid them. And I wouldn't recommend any flying-pokémon."
"How about it?" Derek said. Jason could see that the two was enjoying to scare them. "Are you going to do it or what?"
"We'll do it." Carrie said.
Jason threw a quick look on her.
Something did hit her head during the earthquake....

Another worthless episode, and I apologize. Hopefully, the next one will be better....
