Chapter fifteen: The Great River Rescue

...Soon, a streams of bright light surrounded Lea. Each one wrapped around her as if she was something delicate, and fragile. Naraku was stunned at the sight, stunned enough to not notice that it's still morning. As soon as each stream of light faded away, Lea started to look alot more different that before. When it all faded away completely, Lea is no longer an eevee. In Lea's place, there stood a beautiful Espeon. It's new sapphire eyes glared at Naraku.

'This is pay-back! I'll never forgive you for Dian's death! Now perish!' Lea rammed at Naraku recklessly, thus slamming his back to the bush behind him. 'Hah! I'm not the same little weak eevee you saw before! You're the pathetic one here, face it! I'm alot stronger than you!'

Naraku got up, and replied,'actually, I think that you weren't thinking before. If you're so tough, then how come I was able to beat your mother? Better yet, kill her! Compared to her, you're just plain ashes, burned by anger and vengence. Your idea of revenge is nothing compared to the revenge your so-called "father" had in mind! Why don't you face it? You aren't even his daughter!' Naraku cackled, then continued on,'you were actually found on the streets, beaten, and almost half-dead! You don't even have his blood in your veins at all!'

'You...you...LIAR!' Lea screamed, almost losing it. Her eyes turned deep cyan, and the ruby on her forehead glowed crimson, like the shade of blood. 'I am my father's daughter, and that's true! You are only lying, and my mother is out there, somewhere! You didn't kill her, no one did! She's only...gone...and it none of your concern, so shut up! Leave my family history alone!'

'I'll leave your family's history alone...that is...if you even have one!' Naraku charged at Lea, hitting her just the same as she had rammed into him. The same intensity, power, and speed. After the attack, Lea was left fighting for breath. That gave Naraku enough time to launch an attack at her. He pawed at the ground, turning it to powder under his paw. In a blink of an eye, Naraku's jaw was on Lea's neck, biting it with great force.

After the attack, Lea screamed bloody blue murder, her shoulder bleeding badly. She was starting to gasp and fight for breath. It was now getting hard for her to breathe due to great pain inflicted on her. The bite was deep, deep enough to feel her own pulsation. Blood now streamed out of the corner of her mouth, dripping out.

With her last ounce of strength, she let out her recently learnt move; Psybeam. Soon, a multi-colored beam was shot from the faintly shaded ruby. It hit Naraku directly, but it had no effect whatsoever. 'Silly girl! You forgot that Dark always beat Psychic! The Psybeam had no effect on me...I am a dark type! Foolish youngster!' Naraku cackled out evily.

Lea started to twitch, she was now unable to be able to stand up, now that all her energy was gone. Naraku charged towards her, and knocked her clear across the area. With another take down attack, he had flung her body into the river. He cackled, and left to see the rest of the war.

Little did Naraku know, Lea wasn't dead underwater. She did land on something, but instead of the craggy-hard river floor, it was something soft and warm. Lea didn't know that she had landed on the back of a pokemon.

The pokemon had felt Lea on it's back. Gracefully, the pokemon rose from the river floor, with Lea on it's back. As soon as it came out from the water, it was a majestic display. It splashed the water, creating waves to. As soon as each wave rose high, it all broke apart, making a delicate, yet delightful, light-show.

---------------------At the main battle field-----------------

'Well, at least they were all asleep.' Richan looked at the battle field, now that it seems vacant. Once he turned his direction to Beai, she was clapping happily. Her smile started to widen the more he looked at her.

'Well done Richan! All of them asleep in a blink of an eye!' Onia looked at Richan dreamily. Now that Richan turned and looked at him, she just blushed a bit, and turned.

My Latias, am I that scared? It's just a little confession! I need to tell Richan...about how I feel... Onia turned back, and managed to smile. She opened her mouth to say something, but it was interrupted by a nearby cackle.

'Aha ha ha...well done indeed. Care to leave your name, young roselia?' It was Naraku. He was grinning shrewdly, and then he stepped out of the shadows. 'Well? What's your name?'

'The name's Richan Caliber Rose.'

'Ah, a fine name. I'll see you in the last wave, young one.' Naraku turned, and headed back to the shadows. But don't count on that, You'll be a dead plant before you even could manage to get to me. Prepare to die...in the next round... Xiao xie+.

-----------------Back at the minor field-----------------

'I am grateful that you rescue me. My name is Lea Kitsune Bahanswick. I am the daughter of the great pack leader Tobias Highwind Bahanswick. I need to know your name...'

'I am glad that you are grateful. My name is Meini Charik Tine. It's an honor to meet you Lea.' Meini, who was a Mantine, dived back into the water, then popped up again at the surface. 'I heard that there was a fight. Where is it?'

'Lea just looked at Meini, then replied,' it's past these bushes. The water way is around the bush, and there it is. You might need to look carefully...'

(A/N): W00t! I finished this chappie on my b-day! YES! Oh, and if you have transilation problems, here it is:

Xiao xie is chinese(manderin) for "prepare to die".

Okay! See you all soon!
