Chapter twentie-four: Renelis Appears!

Toby's ruby eyes, that was scanning the area for a while now, had spotted the both of them. 'You...!' he called out in a dangerous voice, 'the both of you are DEAD once this whole damn war is over! The three of us had been searching for you for long time now! Once this war is over, I swear that the both of you are-'

'Toby, enough already. The both of them are here, let's just leave it as that.' Tolea cutted in. She turned to the two and sighed. Beai's eyes were still wide open, but strangely, Richan's eyes were...pale. Not in the scared pale, but in a...very...motionless and dead kind of pale.

Soon, Tolea noticed his eye colour and asked, 'hey, what's wrong? I know that your eyes are pale, but instead, you look dead. What is the matter?'

At the sound of her voice, Richan quickly shutted his eyes and shook his head vigorously. As soon as his eyes were opened again, they were back to their normal emerald shade. 'Uh, there is nothing wrong really.'

Beai looked at him and her usual caring amber eyes now had a concerned look. Strange. First his arms are cold as ice and now his eyes are changing colour from dead pale to dark emerald...and maybe vice versa. Something is behind this and I am going to find out. But what if there is nothing wrong? Oh well, it's still best if I find out.'

'Are you sure you're okay?' Came out from her. With that, Richan looked at her and raised his upper left eyelid. He smiled a wicked yet bittersweet smile.

He replied, 'yeah, I'm okay. Why worry? I'm still walking here, aren't I?' His voice was calm and cracking. At the sight of the smile on his face and the voice made Beai shudder.

'Okay, okay with all this chit-chat, we need to get ready for the next wave.' Tolea flapped her used-to-be elegant wings and up in the air she soared. Chill winds picked up all over the place.

-------------------At Houndoom HQ-----------------

'Hamirana!' A familiar voice bellowed, 'don't you think it's time that we release the next wave? The poison wave had failed to kill Toby along with his almost half dead clan. We need to get rid of that Rikkaenzeru along with the dead plants.'

'Yes, I think that it is time that we release them. We all want that moronic and sadistic drama king of an absol to die, right?'

'What about that Roselia peon? Have she made any progress? At all?'

At the question, Hamirana froze but answered, 'I don't know. She said that she had it all going to plan, but we can't be too sure.'

He grumbled,'fine, fine. I am losing my patience with her.'

-------------------------At the battlefield----------------------

Soon, a loud rumbling started. Tolea headed downward and landed on her front paws on then on her back legs. 'They're near. I can here them and I saw them-'

'Then who are they!' Toby interrupted. Beai's eyes widened and turned to look at Richan. Usually it was him who made the loud outbursts.

Soon, the rumbling could be heard from maybe 12 yards away. Tolea soon cried, 'I can feel them! Blood thirsty and eager to rip us all apart!'

Toby arched his body into a battle postition. His teeth are bared and looked like he was about to bite the heck out of them. But really, he was trying to hide the fact that he was tired and weak. His left eye twirched and blood dripped like a leaky faucet on the corner of his mouth.

'Everyone, get ready. This will be one hell of a wild fight.' Beai raised her hand which was filled with petals as sharp as razors. Onia readied her 5 leaves for a vicious razor leaf attack. Tolea arched her back, but Richan did nothing. He just looked straight forward and motionless. like a standing dead person.

Beai turned and saw that Richan didn't do a thing and wondered, strange. He's not himself anymore! I am getting really suspicious now. There MUST be something behind all this...

It didn't take long for the opposing pokemon to get here. They turned out to be water pokemon. Beai smiled and threw two large handfuls of petals. The wind swepted them to a nearby squirtle and each petal attached themselves to the squirtle's body and the squirtle cried in pain.

That was what started the water battles. Water pokemon attacked left and right. As Beai was fighting, she didn't notice two arms going at her. One grabbed her mouth and the other grabbed her waist. It was a petaled hand. Richan...?

It wasn't. It was a roselia she didn't know before. It wasn't Richan, it was a more feminine pokemon. She struggled to break free from the arms and didn't get an inch away. She was dragged away by the roselia behind her.

A while later, she stopped and across from her was Richan. He just sat there like a lifeless doll. He just smiled and raised a hand to wave. His eyes are plain creepy, and pale. At the sight, Beai practically screamed.

'Richan! What the hell happened! Why are you here, and-and...-' But the same rosepetaled hand covered her mouth once more.

'Shut up.' The female roselia let go of beai's mouth and continued,' my name is Renelis Harava Thorn. I brought you here, my young curious bellossom.'

Beai turned around at the voice and asked in a frightened voice, 'why do you want me here! Why...WHY!'

There was a cackle and a snort. 'Heh, you don't know what is happening, right?' At the shook of beai head, she cackled again and answered, 'silly fool. You don;t get it do you? You see, Richan is...'
