Author's note: This chapter won't include Chris at all. Sry peoples, but I've got some gaps in the plot to fill. And I couldn't update on Monday, or even get near a computer for most of last week and this week. So I can't add in two chapters, only one update this week.

And just to let you know, there's a related story that I'm releasing, that should be up by the time you're reading this. It's called "Frozen Wind", and it's the character I've been vaguely discribing (Luin's) story – sort of.

Frozen Wind will be finished before this will be. So if you're bored, consiter looking it over.


Chapter Thirty-Four: Falling
Mewtwo fired several psychic attacks at the incoming Rockets. They never stopped!

More purple balls flew at him. He blocked all them, but then Giovanni stepped forward. Mewtwo's eyes blazed with fury.

Unnoticed, a Master ball coated in dark energies (and therefore undetectable to Mewtwo) hit the enraged Genetic Pokemon.

Mewtwo had been captured again. And this time, he wouldn't be able to break free of the ball.

The master balls had been specifically developed to control him.

"Excellent work."

"Sir, was it necessary to risk yourself like that?"

"That thing couldn't harm me if he tried." Giovanni pulled out a pair of small devices, similar to what witch-hunters were equipped with. "These counter out psychic abilities."

"Sir! Report from S group. They report failure… it couldn't be captured."

Giovanni's tone was terse. "We sent over two dozen operatives with full teams. Two teenagers defeated two dozen of our operatives?" His look promised that the teams would loose more than their income unless they came up with a victory soon.

"The team had some good news. The girl has fallen… as have her pokemon. But they failed to capture the boy."

Giovanni smiled. "Suicune should be disabled by her loss for some time. As should Ho-oh. Send out teams to capture both."

"Yes sir."


A teenager of about 18 years (and he had blue hair), and a purple haired woman (the same age) were walking together in a wooded area, holding hands. She was leaning slightly on him. Anyone who looked at the pair of them could tell that they were lovers at least.

A Rocket walked up to them. He laughed evilly, and held out his hand, the other holding a .38 handgun. "Suicune. Hand it over, and we won't kill you." The two jumped apart, and exchanged panicked looks. "Crap!" "How did they find out…"

"Suicune. NOW."

The guy glanced at the firearm, and threw a pokeball. A Metagross appeared between the two and the Rocket.

The Rocket pointed his gun at the Metagross, but it was glowing with a Reflect, and underneath the barrier, he was also shining – a sign of using Iron Defense. The bullets did nothing whatsoever.

Other Rockets appeared beside the original Rocket, and tried to support him. But they couldn't go anywhere; the girl's pokemon were out, and looking murderous. The male trainer's other pokemon were also out, covering their backs.

More Rockets appeared, and threw pokeballs. The pokemon were outnumbered six to one.

They devastated the opposition anyway.

The bushes shook, and flashes of light came from them.

All the pokemon collapsed, except for the Metagross, who looked enraged.

The guy was clearly cursing, as he returned his pokemon. It looked like they weren't dead, but were close.

The girl was crying. Several of her pokemon were dead. She hastily dug through her pack – Revives could heal fallen pokemon, but only within a limited timeframe.

"I warned you." The bushes lit up once more, with gunfire. The girl fell, mortally injured. Her lover fell too.

Suicune popped out of her pokeball, and grabbed him. She paused for a moment at the sight of her former… partner.

She ran when the bushes lit up. The male trainer was lucid enough to return the Metagross, then started screaming his love's name, reaching for her. He then said clearly to Suicune "just… let me die with her."

The wind answered back to him, Sorry Luin, you don't have a choice.


April backed away from the Rockets. Her Swampert snuck up behind them, and knocked them out with blows to the head.

She returned her pokemon, and then called out her Altaria. "Get me out of here! I don't know why they're after us, but we'd better go! Somewhere safe!"

Altaria nodded, and spread her wings.


Altaria shook her head. They'd been on the run for awhile now, and the Rockets continually chased them.

Even going to Hoenn hadn't helped. They needed a sanctuary to rest at.

Thinking of that, she finally nodded to herself. They would go to a small impossible-to-reach valley. It was abandoned by humanity because it was close to Mt. Silver, and the wild pokemon there didn't take to settlement.

But that place had been deemed a recovery area. She'd sheltered there with her flock when they had gotten attacked, and been left alone.


Author's note: Sry Mewtwo fans, but I'm a jerk sometimes. And not acceleration over time (m/s3)
Also… well… there goes the realism. But unless I'm forgetting something, pokemon DIE in certain pokemon games, and revives bring them back to life (or pokemon centers).
Or am I wrong? I'll accept correction about that fact, I've never bothered to double-check that tidbit of information. I THINK it's only the Japanese versions that have that…

Luin will have his own role. But his story isn't going to be excessively covered. His story is finished, and I'm slowly putting it up.
That… and I have enough trouble generating unique characters. Sry folks… but you'll get more detail in HIS story.
Did I just sound like a video game character? Gleh, I need to get a better life.

:Luin pops out to attack the evil author:
"Die!"
"You know, you already have your own story."
"Yea, but…"
"And it's being published now, and it'll be finished before this story."
"Yea, but…"
"And I'm giving you a power that normal humans don't get…"
"Fine, I no kill you."
"And a girlfriend with more cleavage."
"I take it back. I'll kill you now."
:Sandstone hurls 13 runestones at Luin, and makes him disappear.: "I really love these runestones. Always useful."
