Hey everyone and welcome to the chapter number 31 of this fic.
I'm sorry it took that ong to update, but I had the exams'' period myself in this period and LC5 had lots of work to do too (the fact that the chapters are that long also affects his workload with editing this fic: there are a lot more mistakes to correct... you name it). I'm sorry, but be assured that we are wroking as hard as live lets us to write or edit this fic. I hope you understand.
GUEST 1: Thanks ofr the opinion! And yes, you're right. I corrected it after you mentioned it. Thanks for that!
12courtney12: Last chapter was a bit of an aftermath, but it also opened the door to the climax. This one will go further than that. Thanks for the review.I hope you love it!
smile all of your days: There you have it. I hope it's not too late. I also hope you love it! Thanks for the review!
Valerie: Well yeah, you had too. But the wait is over. I hope you like this one! Thanks for the review!
itsToxic: You liked the blood? Well so did I XD. I won't say if someone will die, what kind of writer would I be, if I did?XD I'll jsut say that in this fic people are not unkillable. Everyone could be injured in a moment or killed in the right circumstances (people has died before in this fic, look at chapters 23 and 24). It's pokemon, but I try to make it a little more realistic than in the games, I tried to make this clear with Ruby's condition in this chapter. I don't know if this is brilliant, but I'm very happy you think so... Thanks for the review and I hope you like this one too.
Sigmatic: Well, I like you like RUby so much in this. He's my favourite in this story and also in the manga. He still hasn't overcome his fears, though, he just fought a battle against them. To eovercome someone's fears is a great issue in this story, and not only for him. I know that the Salamence that attacked Ruby and Sapphire in the manga is Zinnia's, but that was only shown in the 3rd chapter. I couldn't know when I started and even if I did... I had everything planned this way. I hope you can bare this... XD Thanks a lot!
jamesdragonknight: He already tried to, but he got interrupted so his intents to do it. Will he be able to? You'll have to stay tunned to see it. Thanks for the review!
blueshadowyshipper: I'm glad you're finding it interesting. It gets even better in this one in my opinion... You'll see their reactions, and I'm sure that you'll enjoy those moments. Thanks for the review!
paradoxsteel: That's an interesting guess, you'll know the answer in this one. Yes, he'll have to explain some things, let's see how he manages that. It really gets interesting, doesn't it? I hope you like this one as well!
GUEST 2: You would like that, wouldn't you. To see Ruby on a rampage and battling grunts everywhere... You'll have to wait and see... And I've got to say that I don't know if that's the best cliffhanger or not, but it really is one of the most evil one I've ever done. Thanks for the support!
comisure: It's like I explained in another one, it just opens the first door to the ending. You'll understand whe you read this one. And yes, they'll have to wait. I hope you love this one, thanks for the review.
Queries: I'm happy you love this, some people say that I'm going to slow with that. Everything has to be done in due time, if not it may seem rushed! Thanks for that, I hope you'll keep enjoyin the story!
And that's the end for today... Wow, 12 reviews! NEW RECORD! If we mantain this rythm this story could achieve the 200 reviews, and that would be something that I would've never even imagined to happen, I never imagined that we would reach the 150, but we did. Thanks for that guys, you are also part of this story!
Before we start, I'll let LC5 give us his final thoughts as a token of gratitude for not killing me last time.
I AM LC5, and this chapter is approved by the NLBP, the National League of Banana People. I am very tired. I stood up until 3am playing games all night, and then I got around to proofreading this. GG.
DISCLAIMER: don't be a pickle. Also we do not own Pokemon, Pokemon Adventures, or Bob the Builder, no idea why I said that, I'm very tired. GG
Very interesting.
READ and ENJOY!
Chapter 31: War declaration
Sapphire's POV (10:10 a.m.)
I was flying above the clouds. I was finally free."Happy birthday Sapphire". That was him, the boy that changed me. Ruby. I hugged him.
Suddenly the scene changed and I could see all the Dexholders talking outside a great building, the Contest's Hall. We were just talking until a boy with a white cap came out of it and we congratulated him.
Then the scene just changed yet again. I was walking alone with Rub by my side, he seemed to be talking, and I was listening intently at everything he was saying. That was until…
The scenarios began to change again and again. It was like I stood at the centre of a room with images playing at every direction I looked. I saw battles everywhere. A boy fighting a blue dragon in my left, myself battling some blue and red clothed people in the center and a shadow battling two people if I looked at my right.
Finally those three visions disappeared. If I looked in front of me, I saw an scene I would always remember. I looked back after dodging a huge crack going to the building's direction. I started to run following it, but before I was able to, the place crumbled down in front of me. I then fell on my knees, only to see that I was flying again. I was flying again, but the scene in front of me made me forget it quickly. In front of me stood a bleeding boy trying to get up again. I tried to reach him, but I couldn't. Not before that blue dragon attacked again and he fell of my pokemon ordering my pokemon to keep going. I slumped down again, tears already falling from my eyes when the scenario changed again and I saw that I crouching over a boy who was lying on his stomach. I then just rolled him up and when I saw his torso I felt as scared as anyone could be. I shouted, so loud that I could hear an echo. It was the sound of my cry, but it also seemed a man's laugh.
This had to be a nightmare and I wanted it to stop, right now. I was crying in my dream, looking at the boy in my arms losing more and more blood. Please, I want to wake up. Please… I want to…
-Wake up- I sobbed when I my eyes shot open, tears falling from then.
It was just a nightmare. A longer and even more terrifying one, but just a nightmare. Seeing this I wiped my eyes and tried to calm down while covering myself with the bed sheets and trying to calm my heart which was beating frantically. Wait… bed? Sheets? Where was I? A quick look at my surroundings and that became very clear. I was in my room. But how? All I remembered was being by Rub's side all day.
With that I stood up. I realized that I wasn't wearing my dress anymore, but my pajamas. Setting that aside I opened my room's door towards the living room, where I could hear some conversation going on.
-And th-then… I said that I liked him- said Yellow- With this same words… but Red just answered: I like you too, you're very important to me.
-So he didn't understand?- said Crystal and Yellow shook her head.
-Yellow, Red is way denser than any of the others. You don't have to leave a doubt- said Blue- if you love him, then tell him like that. If not, he will misunderstand it completely. He's THAT dense.
-I'll try next time…- said Yellow when I saw Crystal lift her gaze and pale. She just tugged at Blue before signaling at me…
Yellow's POV
I had just finished talking when I saw Crys tug at Blue and point to my right. What I saw there almost scared me. I knew that sooner or later we would have to face this monster, but you always hope that it will be postponed a little longer. But there she was, with her arms folded and an angry glare in her face. She was showing one fang menacingly towards us while tapping her foot nervously.
-Hey Sapph!- said Blue, seemingly, as cheerful as ever- How are you feeling?
-Don't "hey Sapph" me!- she yelled angrily- What am I doing here! Who brought me here?
-It was me Sapph- said Blue- you just fell asleep next to his bed and I thought that it would be better if you slept in a comfortable bed rather than sleeping in that chair.
-You know what I told you!- she said- I wanted to be by his side. I needed to be by his side. What if he woke up and didn't see me there? He would think that I'm still scared of him!
-He won't think that Sapphire- I said- and even if he does, you'll make things right when you see him okay? I don't think he would've liked to see you in your state.
-What do you mean state?- she asked.
-You didn't sleep or eat anything for more than a day- said Blue then- I don't think he would appreciate that.
-Plus the doctors are doing a lot of tests on him since he woke up, so he…- started Crystal and I facepalmed.
-WHAT? He already woke up and you never told me anything?- she yelled furiously.
-Gold must be rubbing off on you Crys- said Blue while she just smiled ashamed- Yeah, he did. He's been up for almost 4 hours, but since he woke up, the nurses and doctors have been running tests on him. So you wouldn't have been able to speak with him either.
-What kind of tests? Is he okay?
-Yes, just the normal ones- I explained- they just want to be sure that he doesn't have anything else hurt or broken. And they needed him to be awake for some of them.
-Last time I talked with Green he was still with the doctors- explained Blue- but everything seemed to be fine.
-Then what are we waiting for?- asked Sapphire- Let's get going!
-Not so fast Sapphire – said Blue- First you'll eat a good meal, have a shower and put on some clean clothes…
-There's no time for that!- she yelled.
-Just do it or we'll be forced to tie you up…- said Crystal showing her Meganium's pokeball.
-Plus… I don't think that you would like Rub seeing you like you're now- I said.
-Okay… sure- she said- but I want to be done quick.
-Sure Sapphire you'll be able to see your boyfriend - teased Blue- when you finish those things.
After that she went towards the bathroom and took a shower. When she got out, she put her clothes on in a split second and she sat down on the table. She was eating like a beast devoured her prey. No manners, no delicacy. Just hunger and the urge to finish as fast as possible. Once she even had trouble to swallow the amount she put on her mouth. To the point that she needed a whole glass of water to do that. When she finished she wiped her face frantically and stood up.
-Done, now we can go- she said.
-Just wait a moment Sapph, just let us clean this things a bit and then we'll go- said Blue.
-I'm tired of waiting! I'm going now!- she said impatiently.
-Go with her Blue, and you too Yellow- said Crystal sympathetically- I'm going to clean these things a little and then I'll come- Blue was about to object when Crystal spoke again- I believe that everyone of us would be like this if Red, Green or Gold were in his place.
At that I stopped. It was true that I found Sapphire's behavior a little exaggerate since she knew that Rub was going to be okay, but… What would I do if Red was in his place? I didn't know the answer to that question. I would probably do a similar thing, more if he got hurt to defend me. I wouldn't want to leave his side either, if only to thank him as soon as he woke up. I then looked at Sapphire who showed a face of anguish, I truly felt sorry for her.
-It's true… I'm sorry Sapph- I said- we only wanted the best for you.
-Me too, but you have to say that you were being unreasonable- said Blue.
-I know… I just want to make everything clear again- said Sapphire with an embarrassed face- and thank him.
-Now that everything is clear again… go- said Crystal- I'll come in a minute.
I turned to leave then, but I saw that Sapphire had already gotten out of the apartment. I sighed and looking towards Blue who had a smile on her face, we just started to run in the same direction, trying to catch up to her. She noticed us approaching her and slowed herself a little, but she never stopped.
-It would really be faster if we rode your Tropius Sapphire- said Blue still running.
-Yes it would, but I left him at home- she said then- I forgot to grab my pokeballs.
-And how's that?- I asked her.
-I'm just too anxious I guess- she said.
I just smiled at her then and we continued our race towards the hospital. We were out of the Academy's area, like two minutes from the town when I suddenly fell onto the ground. I tried to get up only to find that I couldn't move my arms or legs a little bit.I had them strapped with some sticky substance…
-What the heck is that?- asked Blue who was also in the same state as me. I then looked at Sapphire who was just standing normally while looking in front of her, or to be more specific, at the person in front of her.
-That's the strongest String Shot you'll ever find- said a red haired man who had an Armaldo by his side- It's good to see you again Yellow, Blue and Sapphire… or I should call you, the Seas' Controller.
Marchie's POV
-Ma-Marchie!- exclaimed Blue, the queen of thieves.
-What are you doing here?- exclaimed the other immobile girl. Yellow, the girl from Viridian Forest.
-I'm surprised you never realized it was me after all those attacks, but I guess that you tend to forget a lot of things in five years. Well, I'm glad you still recognize me- I said releasing my trustworthy Alakazam.
-How could we forget you!- exclaimed a furious Sapphire, my target.
-Now now… controller- I said calming her down- I see that you've changed a lot from the first day I saw you. I'm impressed.
-Shut up and leave Blue and Yellow!- she growled- untie them!
-And why would I do that when they're just the cause that you will come with me peacefully?- I told smirking.
-Like hell I would do that!- she said reaching for her fanny pack… which she didn't have.
-I heard that you forgot your pokeballs, controller- I said smirking- that's too bad…
-Stop calling me that! My name is Sapphire!- she said clearly frustrated.
-I know… I knew back in the day I kidnapped you who you were, and also how you were- I said- You were Sapphire Birch, only daughter of the well-known Prof. Birch. You were a delicate girl that hated to battle with all her might and only wanted to live around his father and pokemon in general. Now you're Sapphire Birch of the famous Dexholders, a mighty battler. But that doesn't change what you are either Sapphire. One of the two controllers, the only one left.
-What do you mean controller? And what is that I'm the only one left?- she asked, she was just standing next to their tied friends and she seemed genuinely interested in what I was saying, or so it seemed.
Then it happened. As I was starting to talk, she moved faster that I could've imagined and she was on all fours in front of her two friends. Those two girls wouldn't be able to move, being completely immobilized by my Armaldo's String shot, but she could. When I commanded my pokemon to use String shot again on her, she got out of the way and much to my surprise she had one pokeball in each hand.
-You changed more than I had even thought possible Sapphire- I said- but what are two pokemon going to do? I have six on me.
-I don't care!- she said opening her pokeballs, releasing a Wigglytuff and an Omnastar.
-You were trying to fool me. By letting me talk, you wanted to drop my guard just for a little bit and let you get some pokemon so you could to fight me- I said- a good move, but it won't matter.
-We'll see about that! Omny use Rock Tomb! Tri-Attack Jiggly- she shouted, but I just nodded towards my Armaldo while I let out another pokemon.
As the two attacks collided with the Protect my pokemon had created a good amount of smoke was spread around us, so that I couldn't see anything. But as the smoke cleared I smirked. Sapphire was crouching next to her two friends with her back facing me and shaking.
-You only wanted to create an opening so you three could escape. You were using your strong sense of smell to know where your friends were and then you wanted to escape with them making profit of the smoke- I said- Don't underestimate me. You were my prisoners for three months and I've been having an eye on all of your friends for the last 4 years. I know everything that is to know about your pokemon and yourselves. So I also know that just the mere thought of a Salamence frightens you to death.
That was the pokemon that I released, the only one who could eradicate every single speck of bravery that she had.
-Even after changing so much, you're still the same in front of this pokemon- I said.
-Don't listen to her Sapp, get up and fight, it's just a pokemon- said Blue looking at her- You can win!
-It's not just a pokemon Blue, or at least not for her- I said- This is the pokemon that killed her hero. This is the pokemon that killed Ruby!
-How… do you know he's dead?- shouted Sapphire with her hands turned fists at her side.
Do I wanted them to know that the last thing I saw in my Salamence's mind was the boy falling to the ground and all the people leaving him to die in a pool of his own blood? No, that would be giving them too much information.
-My Salamence comes back, with Ruby's blood on his claw and then you nine appear in the Pokedex Holder tournament two months later without him- I chuckled- I'm able to put 2 and 2 together Sapph!
-You have no right to call me by my friends' nickname!- she shouted.
-Oh, I'm sorry… I forgot I wasn't your friend- I said mockingly- Only nine people are allowed to do that, what with that new friend you have.
-What do you know about Rub?- she asked threateningly.
-Rub? Oh yeah, that's his name…- I said- that friend of your that you couldn't save back in the Contest's Hall and the one who is in the hospital right now. The one who protected you and you could no anything to protect.
-Shut up!- said Blue- Don't listen to her Sapph!
-Why? I'm just stating the truth! You just found another Ruby to rely on!- I said- You're not strong! You just depend on others like you did back then! Too bad the first one died!
-He didn't die… YOU KILLED HIM!- she said crying now and shaking with fury.
-Yes and I didn't want that… He was too strong to die like that, it was a pity- I said- It's the only thing I regret doing in all my life.
-And why would you care? You kidnapped us- asked Blue now- Don't listen to him Sapphire, use Jiggly and Omny. You can win!
-You're annoying me more that what I thought…- I said then- Alakazam use Hypnosis on them.
-I said leave them alone!- said Sapphire running towards the two of them until my Salamence blocked her path again while her two friends were forced to fall asleep behind my pokemon.
-I never wanted this pokemon to kill your friend you know? What I searched for only happens once every 500 years. And I had the luck to have the two controllers under my possession.
-What do you mean with controllers again?- asked Sapphire facing me again, rage evident in her face- stop saying nonsenses!
-It was quite ironic, actually- I continued- It's said that the Sea monster's skin is made of shining Sapphires, while the Earth one's is made of Rubies.
-So you mean that the other one was…
-Yes, Sapphire, you're the only controller left- I said- because your hero, Ruby, was the other.
-You're lying! That story is just a fairy tale, such powers doesn't exist!-she said surprising me.
-So you know the story? I'm impressed, but it won't make a difference- I said- Now come here, I've wasted enough time.
-And why would I do that?- she said with a fiery expression again.
-I don't want to kill any of your friends yet, if I did it, I would really have no worthy enemies to fight in the war that's approaching- I said- but if you don't come with me willingly… My Slamence will kill another one of your precious people.
-You wouldn't dare- she threatened looking at me in the eye.
-Try me, I've got nothing to lose- I could bring her by force, but I need her to be in top shape for the procedure- Salamence use Dragon Claw on Blue at my order!
-It's not needed… I'll go- said Sapphire then- I don't want to see anyone else die for me.
-Good choice… now come here! Armaldo tie her up with your String shot, let her legs free though- I commanded and my pokemon complied expertly- C'mon Alakazam, we need your help!
At that I looked at the girl I had tried so hard to get and I saw her looking at the two sleeping girls.
-I'm sorry Crys, Blue- she said- but I don't want you to be hurt in my place.
-Teleport us to the submarine Alakazam- I said.
And with a flash of white we disappeared from their view.
Sapphire's POV
We appeared again in what seemed an office. I had no clue of where I was, but whatever it was, was very huge. I could see some screens in one wall. One that had a lot of people running got my attention, more than a hundred people running on the same direction. I was about to look to the others when Marchie grabbed my arm and lead me out.
-Is everything ready Professor?- he asked on his phone- Good, I'm coming.
I was lead by him through corridors and stairs, and every time I passed a grunt, he seemed familiar. I knew that I had met and battled a lot of them before I escaped. All the looks that these people were sending was making me feel uneasy. They all seemed happy to see me, or to be more clear, to see that Marchie had captured me. Even that, it didn't really made an effect on me because meeting that pokemon again was more traumatic for me.
All along Marchie was right… I haven't changed a bit, I still am unable to help my friends. The only way I found to protect them, was letting myself be captured. I just hoped they found Jiggly and Omny. Yellow would be able to read their thoughts and what had happened.
Then we stopped in front of a massive door in what seemed to be the lowest part of the building. Just standing there an uneasy feeling came over me, like something was pressing on my mind. I suddenly became scared, but when I looked around and I couldn't see anything abnormal.
-Seems like you're sensing it- said Marchie when he opened the door after introducing the secret code.
I was about to ask what he meant with that, when the pressure only intensified. I had a great urge to grab my head then, but being tied up I couldn't. Forced to follow Marchie I kept walking. With every step I became more scared because the feeling only increased little by little. I looked around and I got a glimpse of my surroundings. Up to 10 grunts where there, Pokeball in hand ready to do something if needed. I could only see a great metallic cage that occupied the major part of the area. Just in front of it a weird and metallic chair was installed. The chair had wrists and ankles restrains and a lot of tubes and strange things. Professor Zager was beside the chair looking directly at me. In his face was the same smile of accomplishment that I found in the other grunts.
-Sit on the chair- commanded Marchie, but I almost didn't hear him. My mind focused in that intrusive feeling. That was when he tried to force me into it.
Then I moved as fast as I could. I stomped in his foot and I rose my head to make it collide with his face. It worked and for an split second I was set free. I tried to run, but I found myself surrounded my pokemon and grunts everywhere I looked. Some started approaching me, closing the circle, with their pokemon in front of them ready to attack. Just when I thought that some of them would jump and attack me a shout stopped it.
-Stop! Back off!- was Marchie's voice, he then looked at me-You have guts, that much is clear, but don't do this again- he said wiping some blood from his mouth- I'd hate to leave you in Matt's care after this.
I looked around me and sighed, I couldn't escape. I'd tried with the best of my possibilities, but I couldn't. Plus the pressure in my head was still there. Seeing that I had understood him he made me sit in that chair, he then cut the String shot around my torso and arms and restrained both my wrists and ankles to the chair. Zager then came and started to connect tubes to the machine and some stickers all over my arms and legs. He then connected those stickers to electric wires and them to the chair. Finally he connected four IV tubes, one in each extremity and a large tube on a glass cage that had a transparent glass sphere inside.
-Everything is connected- said the professor.
-Then start the extracting machine- he said and Zager pulled a switch in the chair.
It happened instantly… It was like I had been struck with a very strong Thunderbolt. I jerked in pain on the chair until a second later it stopped. I suddenly felt something weird and when I looked at the glass sphere I saw a dark blue drop falling, entering it and mixing inside like it was filled of water.
-It's a total success- said Professor Zager- the machine is working perfectly.
-Then let's start the process- said Marchie pulsing a button on that cage, which made the metallic covering be opened, letting us see what was inside.
As the interior of the cage was being shown, I could see that it was a pool cage, but at the same time, the pressure inside my mind increased so much that it almost hurt. When Zager turned on the machine again, the Thunderbolt like sensation became more constant and it hurt like hell. When the cage was completely open, though, I managed to gasp.
Inside was a tremendously large creature. It seemed like a tremendous orca, looking directly at me. It was half white and half blue and had a shinning red pattern around the eyes, head, and lateral fins, which were just like hands. When the monster opened its eyes the pressure increased immensely and I heard something in my mind.
-So we finally meet… controller- the voice said.
-Who a-are you?- I asked.
-I'm the pokemon in front of you… my name is Kyogre, controller- said the voice and then I looked and the pokemon's eyes, which were glued in me- And you… you won't control me!
-What do you mean control?-I asked the creature.
-Two thousand years has passed since I met my last controller, and only to be a little girl- said the voice- No little girl can control me, human! You'll all succumb to the king of the seas and soon, the king of the world! You'll be mine!
As soon as the voice said that the pressure intensified a little more and the electric volts going through my body intensified too. I felt scared, very scared.
-I won't be yours- I said in my mind defiantly.
-It doesn't matter controller…- the voice said- because you already are!
And just when the voice had said this I felt a sharp pain go through my body and I suddenly was enveloped in a blue light. When I opened my eyes there was just one thing I was able to see… the color blue.
Green's POV
-The one who captured her…- he said before surprising every single one in the room and on the other side of the phone- is Marchie.
This said, he just grabbed the crutch again and after taking it out from the bathroom door, where it was nailed, and using it for support, he walked between the 5 of us who stayed, stunned at his words. He just sat in his bed and lied down nonchalantly. Noticing the Pokegear in my hand, he just spoke some words.
-Come directly to my room, we have a lot of things to talk about- he said.
-O-ok- she said ending the call.
He then looked at every single one of us in the eye, sighed and spoke again.
-I suppose you all have a lot of questions- he said.
-No, duh. We don't!- I snapped- Didn't you say that you were weak and hated to battle? Where did you learn to battle like that? How do you know Marchie and how do you know that it was him who kidnapped Sapphire?
-And there's more than those- said Silver.
-I expected as much- he said- I'll answer some of them, but when the girls come here.
Then, much to our surprise, he just focused his gaze on the television, which had been turned on for a while. His gaze was set on it, but his mind was somewhere else. I looked around to see the other boys deep in thought too. Then Gold just stood up.
-We're just losing time here!- he said- we have to, at least do something!
-And what's your idea?- asked Red.
-I don't know, go somewhere and find where they are- he said- but we can't just stay here while Sapphire is captured.
-You're not going anywhere- said Rub not moving his gaze- we'll wait for the girls to come.
-But…
-But nothing, Gold- he said- we'll wait.
-I hate to wait too, Gold- said Emerald- but we have to think of a plan.
-Okay…
And we just stayed like that, thinking of what to do. I saw Red focused on Rub the whole time, like he was expecting something out of him. I then looked at the injured boy. What did he know about everything? I always thought that he was hiding us secrets, but I never thought that those secrets would relate to something as big as that.
-You have no idea of the actual size of the mess we are in right now- he said surprising every single one in the room.
What got everyone's attention was the seriousness in his voice. Only twice I had heard him speak like that, when I nearly attacked that grunt, and when I punched him. I was about to ask him what he meant the door opened and 3 panting girls entered the room. That was when Rub turned the TV off and faced us.
-We're here- said Blue.
-Are you okay?- asked Gold then approaching Crystal when Red went to comfort Yellow who was at the verge of crying. Blue then approached me and sat in the chair next to me. She seemed quite disappointed in herself. I put my arm around her shoulders.
-Yes- said Yellow.
-So what happened?- asked Emerald.
-We were walking with Sapphire when the three of us were ambushed- said Yellow.
-The three of us?- asked Gold.
-I was at Blue's apartment cleaning a little, while they came with Sapphire- said Crystal- I was going to catch you all a little later, but while flying I saw Blue and Yellow tied with a String shot and sleeping on the ground near the main path.
-Marchie was the only one who ambushed us…- said Yellow- before we knew it, we were tied and after a while he said that we were annoying him and used Hypnosis on us. We don't know anything about what happened afterwards…
-What did you do to annoy him?- I asked.
-We just encouraged Sapphire to fight him and win him- said Blue- she was able to get Jiggly and Omny from our belts in a good move of her…
-Why didn't she use her pokemon?- asked Rub.
-Because she forgot them at her home- said Blue- she was too eager to see you after you woke up.
Rub seemed to be surprised at that, but he shook his head and looked towards Blue.
-Blue send your Wigglytuff out, the same with your Omastar Yellow- he said- You have them with you, don't you?
-Yes we found them inside their pokeballs just in the place Marchie had stood the whole time- said Yellow- Sapphire must have left them there before Marchie escaped with her.
-But why do you need them?- asked Crystal.
-Because they've probably seen everything that happened in there before and after you were Hypnotised- said Red- Yellow, can you tell us what happened?
-Oh… sure- she said and closing her eyes, she put each palm on each pokemon's head.
-Can you tell us everything in detail, please?- I asked her- And with every single word?
-Yes… I'm on it- she said and started to talk, explaining everything that had happened in there.
(12 minutes later)
-S-so that's what happened…- said Yellow.
-So you're saying that Sapphire was kidnapped because she is a "controller" and that the "other one" was Ruby- said Red looking at me- what does that mean?
-I don't know… I'm as surprised as you are right now- I said.
I then looked at everyone who seemed to be as confused as I was. Even Rub had a surprised face, that lasted until he caught my gaze and he snapped out of his stupor.
-So we know what happened…- said Gold- but that can't help us in the least. What are we going to do?
-You're wrong Gold, thanks to Yellow, we now know almost exactly where this guy is hiding- said Rub then.
-Where?- asked Emerald.
-He is hiding in this town's bay, underwater- he said.
-Of course he is! He told his Alakazam to teleport him to the Submarine- said Blue.
-Good, then we just have to go there and get her- said Gold.
-And how do you plan to do that?- Rub asked from his sitting place.
-I say we go all out and retrieve her- said Gold- We'll catch them by surprise.
-That won't work- he said, I had to agree with him.
-Why? Do you have any better idea?- Gold asked- do any of you? Crys?
-Well, knowing where they are… we could split up-said girl started- One team would be the rescue team and the other would create an opening- she said- Blue and Silver would be on the retrieval team, with me and Yellow. The others would attack the Submarine to attract the attention of the grunts guarding the place.
-We could do that- said Blue.
-I'm in!- said Emeral, we were wasting time already, we didn't have enough time to think of anything more complicate.
-It won't work- said Rub's voice though…
-Why not?- asked Gold again he was beginning to get impatient.
-Because you've got no idea of the size of a mess we're in Gold- he said again- no one of you do.
-What do you mean with that?- retailed Gold.
-You should know that Marchie won't fall for this strategy, he'll see right through it- said Rub- he's not this organization's leader for nothing, he's extremely smart. I don't know how smart Giovanni was, but this is the greatest mess you've ever had to deal with.
-And what do you know about Marchie?- I asked then in a very harsh tone.
-Let's say that I have history with him… something similar at what you too have- Rub answered- and I know that this plan won't fool him.
-You're not being specific… like always- I said- how can you expect us to trust you when you don't speak clearly?
-You don't have a choice really…- he said- you need me in this mission. I know far more about this mess that what you do. I also know some things that you want to know ever since you were kidnapped that day 5 years ago… I can't force you to trust me, but please do it… I want to save Sapphire as much as you do.
Red then took a step at the front. He looked at me in the eye before smiling weakly and turned to Rub.
-Answer 3 questions- said Red then- about yourself… Depending on your answers, I'll decided whether I trust you or not.
-Fire away- challenged Rub.
-First one, you said you hated to battle and that you're weak- he said- and Saturday night you battled and won versus two very capable battlers while injured and won. Were you lying when you told us those things?
-No I wasn't- said Rub and Red nodded to him to continue- I hate battling with all my being. And being weak doesn't really mean that you're weak at battling. My weakness is not that… my weakness is being afraid of being left alone.
-That's not your fear- said Yellow- you don't care about what people think of you! People mock at you and you just continue like it didn't happen.
-Just because I've been alone for the better part of my life and learnt to live this way,- he said- doesn't mean that I like it.
-Oh..Okay- said Yellow.
-That was the first one… the second one- said Red- what do you know about Marchie?
-I know his plan and why you are involved in the first place. I also know what Marchie said, that Sapphire was a controller…- he answered- You remember Sapphire say that the story about the controllers was just a fairy tale, that such powers doesn't exist?- we nodded- I am the one that told her the story.
-So how did we enter in this mess?- I asked- you said you knew.
-The 10 people that were kidnapped five years ago, were kidnapped for the mere purpose of finding the two legendary controllers. Marchie looked for important and powerful kids, born in this decade- he said-He kidnapped you, Red, the son of one of the best battlers in the history and a prodigy at battling. Green, the grandson of Prof. Oak and a great battler for his age. Blue and Silver, the two legendary child thieves of Saffron city. That if we don't count that Silver is the son of the most important villain you've had to encounter, Giovanni. Yellow, the girl with the Viridian powers. Crystal, the young girl who was helping Prof. Elm and helping Mr. Earl run his orphanage. Emerald, this girl's brother, that is a maniac of technology as well as a decent battler. Gold a boy who's lived around pokemon since he was born and won the Pokeathlon once when he was eleven. Sapphire, the daughter of Prof. Birch. And Ruby…
-Save it- said Silver- it's clear why he kidnapped him.
-He did all that to find the two controllers- continued Rub- And as you heard, he was right. One was Sapphire and the other was Ruby. That's why you were so important to him. You told me that you never found out why you were kidnapped. Seeing his aim and your past… it's easy to deduce the reasons behind your kidnapping.
-But what is this controller thing?- asked Gold- What does it control?
-That's why I told you that you didn't know the size of the mess you're in- he said.
-So what does it mean?- I asked.
-First, the third question, please…- he said- we don't have time to waste.
-Okay then… You said that you're the son of a Gym leader aren't you?- he nodded at Red's question- we've met a lot of gym leaders in our lives. Do we know your dad?
-Yes, way more than you know- he said- Can you pass me the trousers of my tux, Emerald?
-Sure.
Emerald did just as Rub asked. Rub then started to search the pockets. When he finally found out what he was looking for, he let the torn trousers fall on the ground.
-You've all met him, all except Sapphire- he said- my father normally uses normal types for his battles, but he's got his Flygon to surprise the challengers too. As far as I'm concerned he's only lost three times this year. And the first time… was against me.
And as he said that he opened his palm revealing a metallic object. It was made of two circles united with a thin bar. We all had seen this particular object. And Gold was the first to say it.
-That's the Balance badge- he said- that means that your father…
-Is Norman - he said seriously- The other two battles he lost were against Green and Silver. That also means that I'm the guy that was going to battle with you all tomorrow if Matt and Michael hadn't attacked me and Sapphire on Saturday.
-But why would you battle with us- I asked- you've had plenty of opportunities to do so before, so why now?
-Because it was time to face my fears - he said.
-What do you mean with that?- I asked then more impatiently.
-I answered the 3 questions- he said- so do you trust me, Red?
-Only another simple one…- he said and Rub made a curt nod- Why do you want to save Sapphire?
-I've got three reasons for that one. The first is that the world depends on it- he said- the second is that I didn't battle for her to be okay on Saturday to let her be captured today.
-That was only two reasons- said Silver.
-I know- he said serious- so what is the answer Red, do you trust me?
-Only if you have a better plan than the one Crystal offered- Red said with an smirk- although I believe that you've been thinking one the whole time, huh?
-Is that true Rub?- asked Gold serious- Do you have a better plan?
-Yes- he smirked- I have a better plan.
Prof. Birch's POV
-Norman! Norman!- I had been looking for him for the past minute since his PokeGear started ringing.
Since the wild pokemon had been accustomed to our presence in the Pyramid, he had been bored as hell, only being with us for lunch and when we tried to investigate something that he found interesting. He'd just left the reunion over meteorological changes that had happened in this place the past week, forgetting his Poke Gear behind. Finally, I found him training with his pokemon in his usual spot, where his Vigoroth was trying to hit with Fury Swipes his Spinda who seemed to be dancing around it while performing Teeter Dance.
-Norman! NORMAN!- I called out to him.
-What?- he said after noticing me there and making his pokemon stop.
-Your PokeGear rang and you left it back in the tent- I said- there's someone called Wallace at the other end. He says it's important.
-Okay, give it to me- he said- Yeah? Wallace? It's Norman now.
And with that he started his conversation. And ended! He hadn't been 1 minute on the phone when he ended the call, recalled his pokemon and sent his Flygon out.
-Birch!- he said- I must go to the Pokemon Association headquarters.
-Why?- I asked- I something wrong?
-Yeah, they're asking for all the Gym leaders to go- he said jumping on his dragon type- The Headquarters are under attack!
Ruby's POV
As strange and surprising as it was, this didn't actually change the plan I already had in mid. I always suspected that one of us would be the other controller, and I was well aware that it could be myself. Still when I knew I actually was the other controller I felt surprised. Looking deeper into it though, that only left for variants to my plan.
-And the plan is?- asked Crystal.
-We'll divide in 4 groups- I said- Green, Red, and Yellow in one; Silver, Crystal, and Emerald in the second and Blue in the third. Gold will be in the fourth.
-Why are there two people that work individually?- asked Green.
-That's because we have the advantage that we know everything that Marchie has got against us and the knowledge he has of you- I said- we'll take profit of this thing.
-And what do I have to do in my individual work?- said Gold- kick ass? Draw their attention while the others do their thing?
-Your work is simple, but much more important than it seems- I said- You might not like it, but don't worry, you'll have plenty of more later.
-So what do I have to do?- he asked.
-You'll go to the press and say the next words- I said- "I am Gold, and in the name of the Dexholders, I hereby declare war on Marchie and his organization!".
-Why?- he said- It's like were announcing our attack.
-In a way, we are, this will make him be more cautious, but at the same time, we'll give him the message that we'll go all out on him- I explained- and that's not what's going to happen.
-That's just the most boring thing I've ever had to do- he said with enraged face- Do you want me to do anything else, a little shopping, maybe?
-No, but I need you to go to mine and Emerald's place- I said- I want to grab my bag in mine and in Emerald's… grab those headphones he has been developing the last weeks.
-Yes, they are on the 3rd shelf in my room- he said- there are nine of them though, and they can be connected to the Pokegear and call anyone just asking it. They got voice detectors.
-So I'm just the delivery guy?- he asked clearly angry- I have you know that I've battled more than you realize. I'm better prepared to fight those grunts than every single person in this world, so don't underestimate me!
-I'm not! You'll have more work later- I said- This shouldn't be your work, but it is because I'm fucking stuck in this bed unable to do anything! I need someone to be here with me the whole time to do the little things that need to be done and that I would do myself if I was in a better condition. The thing is that you're the only one who is not needed in this same moment, so you'll be the one to do that.
-I just thought…
-That I was underestimating you?- I asked- Never! You're all an irreplaceable part of this plan. Without one of you, this plan will undoubtedly fail! I have important things for you to do when you come back, but right now I need my bag and those headphones. As well as the war declaration. Am. I. Understood?
-Ye-yeah. Sure- he said and after grabbing both keys he went on the door- I'm going then.
I looked at my other friends and saw them quite surprised by my outburst.
-I'm not that mad… It's just that he'll be the one to do it more quickly- I said.
-How do you know?- asked Green.
-Because… he wants to do more important things than those I asked him and he'll be impatient for them- I said- and he's got a pokemon that knows Extremespeed.
-Clever- chuckled Red- so what are the other parts of the plan?
-You, Green and Yellow will be the ones to attack the submarine when it surfaces- I said- When was the time when Sapphire was captured again?
-Around 11:30 am- answered Blue- a little more than two hours ago.
-Then as soon as the Gold comes back I want the 3 of you buy as much 10 Potions and Superpotions each- I said- and as soon as you got that you start the attack.
-How do you know that they will surface and not hide more?- asked Blue, a very good question.
-Because Marchie is eager to show his power to the world- I said- so he won't pass up an opportunity score a point against you. He thinks that this way he'll intimidate the people who idolize you. As I said I want you three attacking the submarine, but you'll do it from the air. You have to attack as brutally as you can, while trying to avoid important parts of the structure, remember that Sapphire is still in there.
-And what is my job?- asked Blue.
-Your job is to retrieve Sapphire- I said- And yes, you'll go alone.
-But why does she has to go alone- asked Silver and Green simultaneously.
-I should go with her- said Silver- we're the best team.
-I know, but you'll have the most dangerous mission along with Emerald and Crystal- I said- Blue will go there alone, because she can do it, but also because Marchie expects you two to have this mission. Once they spot Blue, if they do it, half of the grunts will search you around the place, meaning that Blue will have half the enemies she would. Add this to the fact that Red, Green and Yellow will be attacking the submarine from outside… I can't assure that it will be an easy walk, but she will be able to do it.
-I guess… that it is reasonable- said Green.
-I know that this will be something insulting to you Blue- I said- but you do know what is the least protected area of a submarine, don't you?
-Of course- she said- a thing that it's made to be under their enemy doesn't expect any threat to come from below him.
-Perfect… now for the next part- I said- this will be difficult, but at some point you'll have to face Marchie. He won't be easy, he's got something big on his sleeve. He will be very difficult to beat in a normal battle, but as soon things get nasty he will use his triumph card.
-What is his triumph card?- asked Red.
-A monster, whose power no one can imagine- I said- All the controller story leads to this monster.
-What do you mean with that?- asked Green.
-It's said that when Arceus created the pokemon and this planet two of his creations clashed. One was expanding the land everywhere he went, while the other expanded the seas. As you can imagine this lead to conflicts between them and that meant battles. The power of those pokemon was so great that they almost destroyed the entire planet in one of their fights. Luckily, a third titan stopped them then, but it was unclear if it would happen the next time those two forces would clash- I explained the real legend- Seeing this, Arceus gave power to two humans. One had the power to control the beast of the seas, and the other was able to control the land expanding monster. Those people were named the controllers and the two of them would appear twice every millennium to be able to control those beasts, if needed. That's the story my father explained when I was young.
-So that means that Sapphire would be able to control one of those beasts- said Green- if we believe this is true.
-Sapphire is the Sea's controller, the controller of Kyogre- I said- and we have to believe it's true if our enemy is acting like it's true. The grunts I battled talked about it freely and also made one thing clear… Marchie already has what he needs.
-And what does he need?- asked Yellow.
-He needs Sapphire so he can get her power- I said- and the monster. In other words, as soon as the extraction process is done, Marchie will have the strongest pokemon available to fight. The king of the seas, Kyogre.
-And how do we fight against it?- asked Emerald- it's like he's won if he gets to extract her power, we should attack now.
-The process will be in its final stage right now…- I said- and there's a possibility that if they want to speed up the process more, Sapphire would suffer from this… She could even die and Marchie wouldn't really care. He only needs her as an hostage.
-I understand- said Silver- so you're saying that it's like he's already got this power in his hands. So how are we going to fight against it?
-There's only a way to battle an unbeatable monster…- I said- another unbeatable monster.
We'll need the king of the land, Groudon.
-What do you mean with that?- asked Crystal- We don't know where it is. And even if we found him it might be very far away. And in the best case we can find him and it's near we can't control him.
-She's got a point- said Silver.
-I know, but let's just say we found him- I said- then we wake him up and he'll start his quest to expand the land wherever he puts his foot on. What do you think he's going to do?
-I don't know- said Crystal- it's unpredictable.
-He'll go battle his livelong, mortal enemy- said Green- You're trying to make them fight one against the other.
-That's true- I said- I'm counting on the fact that Groudon and the nine of you will be enough to win over Marchie. Or at least, let Sapphire take control of Kyogre again. Then I'm counting on the fact that with the advantage of type and the rest of us we can take care of Groudon.
-You're counting on a lot of things…- said Green- starting for the fact that we have to find this pokemon first.
-I know, but I also know where it is- I said surprising everybody- and you've been in there, Green.
-I did?
-Emerald, do you remember that report on legendary places that we had to do for the academy?- he nodded- At the end we settled with the Desert ruins, the Ancient tomb and the Island cave, but do you remember the first choice, which we found no information for?
-Well, one was the Sky Pillar, the second one was something like a Pyramid and the third was… the Cave of Origin.
-Wait… a Pyramid? The Landbirth Pyramid?- asked Green.
-Exactly, the one you said where Earthquakes appeared from nowhere just as a tsunami took place at the other end of the world- I said- that's the place where I believe Groudon who was just reacting to Kyogre's tsunamis.
-Are you sure of that?- asked Crystal.
-Yes- I said- One of the reasons that made me chose Gold to be out when I told you this, Crystal, is that he would've never let you go there. This is the most dangerous part of our mission. No one knows how to enter that Pyramid and no one knows what might happen when you enter. That's why I chose you three with this mission. The most intelligent one, the one who has the strongest defense and the one who can adapt more to battle any kind of pokemon in.
-But what is going to happen if Groudon doesn't go battle with Kyogre?- asked Red.
-He has to… but for that to happen the timing must be perfect- I said- Kyogre must be put into the fight as soon as we can and then wake Groudon up. When Goudon senses Kyogre he'll come to fight it.
-So is that everything?- asked Green.
-No, I will add more things later- I said- I'll phone my dad and ask him for help as well as the other Gym leaders that you know. The plan is made only for you 8, but it'll be easy to include anyone that will battle in our side.
-Okay, I just don't understand one thing though…- said Yellow- why do we have to buy those potions? I can heal pokemon.
-That's because we need you for another thing- I said- As I said Sapphire will play a great part of this plan, she being the one that has to control Kyogre at the end in order to fight Groudon. That is, if everything goes in our way. The problem is that I'm sure that Sapphire won't be able to do that in the state we'll find her. Answer me this… How good are you on healing humans?
-W-well…- she said.
-She can't do it- said Red quickly.
-I can- she retorted.
-No you can't- retailed Red again- You know what happened last time.
-I can do it!- said Yellow with anger in her voice- I only fainted because I had used my power with the pokemon before and healing humans takes me longer and more power.
-That's just it! You didn't only faint- Red said- You passed out with a high fever and headaches. The doctors forbid you of doing it again. And I had just fractured my leg.
-You had a huge hemorrhage too- she retorted- and it was three years ago. I have a better control over my powers and I can heal more difficult injuries.
-But…
-Don't worry about me Red, if I need to do it to heal Sapphire- she said- I'll do it.
-Then it's settled- I said- I forbid you from healing any pokemon or injury before we know the state Sapphire is in. If you think you can heal her then you'll do it. If we decide that you can't then we'll find another method.
-But...- started Red again.
-You'll be taking part of the decision too, Red- I said.
-Okay then…- said Green- I believe everything is settled. We all know what we have to do.
-The only problem will be how we go to the Pyramid- said Silver- One hour and a half is too much.
-Reduce that time to 10 minutes- I said.
-What do you mean?- asked Crystal.
-I mean that as soon as Gold arrives, you ride will be here too- I said.
-Then you're lucky that I'm already here- said the boy's voice- grab your bag and headphones. The press says that the announcement will be on the news in 5 minutes.
-Perfect… then we've got no more time to lose- I said tossing a pokeball in the air revealing my Kirlia.
-Your Kirlia can't teleport us there, not the 3 of us- said Silver.
-Green has to come with you too- I said, someone has to know the location we're teleporting to- but the one teleporting won't be a Kirlia.
-What do you mean with that?- asked Red.
-Ruru, I know that you could do that a long time ago, but, as you know… I didn't want you to always feel the same feelings I felt- I told my pokemon- I know that it hurt you being in this state, but my intentions were good. Now relax and let nature make it's thing… your suffering, ends now...
Then I saw something amazing. Ruru just smiled to him her horns blinking repeatedly before she started to glow a pure white light. Her size started to increase until the glowing figure was the same height as Yellow or a little more before fading. When it faded, in front of us, stood a proud and elegant Gardevoir wearing a confident and gentle smile.
-You look beautiful Ruru- Rub smiled- I hope you can forgive me for making you wait so much for this.
-Wow… - said Emerald as the Gardevoir just nodded in Rub's direction.
-So would you be so kind to Teleport these 4 people at the place Green knows?- I asked- I know that it'll be hard work, but it's primordial.
Then Gardevoir just nodded confident and spread her arms for the 4 teenagers to hang on her.
-Are you sure she'll be able to?- asked Green- It's a very faraway place.
-Ruru was the strongest Kirlia in the world…- I said- She'll be able to do it as a Gardevoir, I have faith in her. Now Ruru… Teleport!
And with a flash of white light the four of them disappeared. We waited for a while, but after half a minute another white light appeared and both Green and Ruru appeared in the room again. Ruru was holding onto Green when they landed, but they both had a confident smile.
-You were right… Ruru is amazing- said Green- They're just outside the valley… a 10 minute walk if you go fast enough and you don't encounter many pokemon.
-Perfect- I said- now there's only 5 of you in here and the press will have already announced everything by the time you arrive at the beach…
-We know- said Red- we should get going, shouldn't we?
-Yes you should go- I said- We'll be in touch through the headphones.
-Sure- they said sending their flying types out of the window and getting on them-We'll be going Rub, Gold.
-I'll be joining the fun soon- said Gold.
-I'll be commanding- I said- I want to know every difficulty you found so I can find a solution to it. The good thing of being in the hospital is that I'll have the time to only help, command and give advice.
-Gold, just make sure he stays and doesn't do anything harsh- said Red- and that goes for you to.
-Just go, we've got no time to lose- I said- the procedure will most likely be finished, so you'll be able to attack with all you've got.
-We're going then- they said and disappeared due to the speed their pokemon had.
I looked then at everything around me. I had my bag, with my pokemon and a clean change of my usual clothes. I had my headphones and I had Gold waiting for me to speak. I just turned my headphones on and speak.
-Call Norman- I asked and immediately I was in line with my father.
Marchie's POV
-The procedure has been a complete success- said Prof. Zager.
-Good, how is Sapphire?- I asked.
-She passed out during the process, but she isn't in critical condition, still- he said.
-Good, bring her to her old room- I said- she will be at home there.
-Understood!- he said and started to give commands to everyone in there.
-Master Marchie!- said one grunt running from across the room- I have news sir. Look at what the news are saying!
I took a look at the screen and I saw another one of the kids that I kidnapped 5 years ago.
- I am Gold, and in the name of the Dexholders- he said- I hereby declare war to Marchie and his organization!
Well that was surprising to say the least. A clear showing of intentions. Well, they didn't know what they were getting into, but I would show them.
-If it's war what they want… that's what they'll get- I said- make the submarine surface! It's time… to battle.
Green's POV
-Just stay safe Blue- I asked her.
-I'll be, don't worry- she said giving me a final kiss- I must go now…
And there she went. It was the place to split. I looked at those two people next to me. I looked at Red who was the one who seemed more confident about it.
-Do you think that everything will go as planned?- I asked him- It's a pretty risky plan, the one we are taking.
-I know and I also know that something will go wrong at some point- he said still confident- but I know that this is the best plan we can take.
-You really do trust him, don't you?- I asked.
-You don't?
-I do, but I'm scared. This plan is very risky- I said- a lot of variables are just that in this one.
-Rub is a true strategist, and strategists always leave their best cards up in his sleeves. You saw in the amount of time he thought about this strategy, it was amde in 15 minutes and he made it alone- he said and I had to agree, it was amazing- He's got more plans and modifications planned, I'm sure of that.
-You really trust him- I said.
-If you knew what I do- he said smiling- you would trust him in the same level that I do.
-And how do you trust him?- I asked.
-I trust him… -he said with a confident smile- with my life.
Crystal's POV
We were running across the thin path in the middle of the road. We all tried to run as fast as we could when the headphones turned on.
-Hey, Rub here- he said- talking to all of the Dexholders.
-Loud and clear- said Red.
-Same here- said Silver.
-Here too- was Blue's voice.
-I know that this plan is very risky and I have to thank you guys to trust me - he said- I just spoke to my dad and we're alone in this… but it doesn't matter! Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Crystal, Silver, Gold, and Emerald, along with Sapphire. Wherever you are… remember. You're a the best team and you can do this. Have faith in your comrade, don't try to play hero… Do what you guys know to do best… save Sapphire, the day and the world. We can do this now… if we do it together.
-Right!- was Emerald's voice
-Sure- was Green's and Red confident comment.
-You stole my words Rub- was Gold's comment.
-That's the spirit guys…- I said.
-Yes it is- said Rub again- I believe in you, the entire world does… . It's time to tell Marchie that he should've never gotten in your path! Go, and win this war!
-YEAH!
And closure! That's the end of the 31st chapter of tattler in this fic.
I had quite a lot of problems while writing this one, because I felt that it was very dense at first. It still is, but I tried to make everything more understandable. I hope I succeed in it.,
I know that some of the Dexholders haven't got all the protagonism that they deserve. Mainly I'm talking about The Battler, Red. That's something that's going to change in the next chapters.
In the first 30 chapters 24.286 views, 59 peoplw who favourited the story, 68 followers and 166 REVIEWS! That's something amazing, tank you very, very, VERY much!
I can only thank you for reading this chapter and LC5 for his while correcting my fic.
Nothing more to say, but... REVIEW and STAY TUNNED!
