So things left off rather interesting last chapter and I think this chapter is the chapter many of you have been waiting for, for awhile. I'm not going to spoil to much but I will warn you this is one of the longer chapters and I still didn't get everything in I wanted to so I'll have to pick up the rest next chapter XD Anyways this chapter does have a little more language than usual but knowing our day and age I'm sure its nothing new. ANyways thanks for reading and I hope this chapter begins to answer some questions.
Chapter 47: Grayson
Point of View Gray, nine years ago
My eyes slowly cracked open and the first thing my groggy vision could make out was the warm rays of the sun practically blinding me. After my eyes got over the blinding light I got a perfect view of a picturesque view. I was on top of a big grassy hill and from up here I got a perfect view of the forest that went on for almost as far as the eye could see. The sun was now at its peak in its cycle and I could feel its warm rays heating the world around me creating a comfortable sensation. Off in the distance I could see a flock of pidgy based pokemon flying off into the distance. This was a rather nice spectacle to wake up to and made life worth living.
"I thought you were going to sleep all day" I heard a voice call out. I instantly pinpointed the sound and looked behind me and saw my good friend Aaron who was a male flareon around my age. I looked back at the flareon with a small smirk showing on my face.
"It doesn't matter it's a good day to be lazy, besides nothing significant is really happening" I replied to the fire type who was now comfortably sitting next to me. "Besides my horn detects danger so it's not like I wouldn't know" I said as I pointed to the sickle shaped horn on my head.
"True but it's always when we let our guard down that something bad happens around here and I don't want anything happening on my watch" the flareon said with ambition.
"Eh you worry too much just enjoy the day and besides you need a break or your going to lose your sanity" I proposed to the flareon.
"Yeah and if you were in charge of WPA (World Peace Association) would never get anything done" the flareon lectured as he stood up and flexed his body out. He was probably right though, I was pretty lazy. Although everyone in the WPA are kindred spirits all working together for a brighter future.
"I'm going to scout out around route fifteen outside of Laverre City if you actually want to contribute" the flareon said with a playful smile on his face.
"Yeah sure I guess I should get some blood flowing" I said as I got up on sluggish feet and happily followed my partner. Over the few years I have actually been a part of the WPA I have seen our organization flourish with many pokemon and humans working towards maintaining peace within Kalos and we all had the dream of spreading our organization worldwide. The nice thing about WPA is that it's all voluntary work so it would be nearly impossible for some corrupt crook to ruin our dreams with his or her greed. It was nice working for this association it gave my life meaning and not only that it was nice seeing hundreds of pokemon and humans working together in a variety of voluntary work. Aaron and I were both a part of a six pokemon team, although we mostly traveled in two man cells. Our job was to basically roam Kalos and stop the wicked such as groups like Team Flare or those who seek to do immoral things that upset the balance of peace, groups such as traffickers, abusive pokemon trainers, Team Flare and etcetera.
After me and Aaron made our way down the hill we entered the forest and made our way to the route he spoke of. The forest had a lot of pokemon in it, although most of them didn't bother us since our organization was actually pretty well known throughout Kalos and we were pretty respected by most, excluding those that seek to harm the innocent and resented us.
"So what do you plan on doing this weekend" I asked the flareon as I walked alongside him.
"Sleep" he replied bluntly. Knowing him he wasn't lying he put way to much work into WPA and he was practically a zombie by the end of the day.
"Could always sleep on the job like me" I joked as I gave him a small nudge on the shoulder.
"And watch the world around us fall apart no thanks" The flareon joked back.
"Well hey if you feel like it we should hang or something" I asked the flareon. The flareon took a second to process the invitation and let out a smile.
"Yeah sure I guess we could, what did you have planned to do" he asked me.
"I don't know eat maybe go play a sport or something. I don't know I just know you need to get out more and enjoy your life" I said honestly to him.
"I'll take that into consideration, we haven't hanged out in some time besides work" he replied. We continued to walk through the snaggy forest for quite some time as we tried to avoid vines and thorns and what not. Then out of nowhere the sickle shaped horn on my head got this weird sensation that made it feel odd and gave me a bad vibe. There was no doubt that something in the area was wrong. As to what the problem could be could vary from natural disasters to someone doing something sinister.
I stopped walking as I tried to get an idea on what I should be looking for, Aaron instantly took notice and he pretty much knew the look I got when my horn senses were tingling. "What is it" Aaron asked me.
"I don't know" I said as I tried to read the vibe, which it should be noted it is hard to actually read the vibe of the horns and most of the time it was too late by the time one would make sense of it.
Before I could ponder it much longer Aaron and I both jumped at the sound of a loud feminine scream off in the distance. We both shared a quick glance and we both sprinted at full speed in the direction of the scream. We both kept up our speed as we jumped over logs and ducked under branches. Every here and there I would make the mistake of running through a patch of thorns but my priorities were too high to pay much attention to the small cuts I received.
After a minute of running towards the voice Aaron and I both stopped running and jumped in a bush as we heard the sound of a human talking. "Stop resisting" I heard an upset pokemon trainer yell in fury. The human was just some fat pig who hardly fitted in the white t-shirt he wore along with some shorts a person that fat should never wear. In front of the man was an arbok that appeared to be his pokemon. The snake creature stared at a victim with evil intents.
"Just leave me alone" a nidoran yelled as she curled up into a ball to protect herself from any harm. The sight made me sick, a bigger pokemon and human gaining up on the weak. Believe me I wasn't a fan of pokemon getting captured by humans that is unless the pokemon wanted to get captured or fought a trainer out of their own freewill, then that's on them.
"Let's go" I said with a growl as I got ready to serve some justice to the two sick twisted monsters that tormented the innocent pokemon. I then got out of the bush I was hiding in and approached from behind the arbok and he failed to notice me. A sneak attack would have easily did the two idiots in, but I wouldn't stoop down to their level.
"Hey, you two are having fun" I said to the backs of the Arbok and human as they both turned around and saw my cocky smile. "How about I show you boys a real opponent" I taunted the two. Aaron appeared to still be lurking in the bushes probably waiting for his chance to strike if he was needed.
"An Absol, you'll make a good catch" the human said with a piggish laugh as he pulled out another pokeball and threw it and out came a scizor that was already in battle stance. What a sad sight seeing a pokemon so hostile right when it comes out of its ball, it just assumes it has to fight.
"Looks like you choose the wrong fight darky" the scizor taunted with a racial remark as he clamped his claws shut and tightened his grip simulating crushing me.
"Actually your sorry ass choose the wrong fight, now get the hell out of here before I teach you a fundamental lesson on type advantages" I replied back as I showed a toothy grin.
"If your referring to having a type advantage against me it won't make a difference with a bug type on my side" the arbok hissed at me. The nidoran was now peeking her head out of the ball form she was curled up in but she wasn't exactly bright and didn't take her chance to run for safety. Oh well I just get to show her how weak these pathetic losers really are.
"Would you change your mind if I was here" Aaron said as he walked out of the bushes and stood on the opposite side of our opponent's right next to the nidoran.
"Wow theirs good catches everywhere today" the human said as he eyed me and Aaron up as if we were eye candy. Probably eyes up Twinkies like that as well.
"Whoa calm down porky don't eat us or nothing" Aaron taunted even though the fat ass couldn't here us.
"Catch this" I yelled as I charged up my favorite attack, an ice beam. I shot the crystal blue beam straight at the arbok who slithered out of the way. But before he could get a chance to breathe I sprinted towards him so I could land in some quick attack. I wasn't going to leave him a chance to think about breathing let alone countering.
Aaron also began his battle with the scizor, although I wouldn't call it a battle though since Aaron was about to cremate the bug type alive. Aaron shot out a flamethrower that covered a lot of ground. The scizor's eyes instantly went wide open as he watched the intense heat head his way. Sadly for him he wasn't as fast as scizor's were made out to be and he got a little burnt. The scizor was now lying on the ground still alive but burnt pretty badly. Aaron was sure not to use flames to hot since he didn't want to severely injure the pokemon and only teach him a lesson.
I on the other hand was delivering a series of quick attacks towards my arbok opponent who slithered away from each attack with precision. "Slippery little bastard" I yelled at him as he dodged my attack. As I was swiping my paws towards him nonstop I got careless and I felt my back left paw hit something solid and I hit the floor below me with a thud.
'Shit' was the only thought my mind could think of as I saw the snake hover over me and prepared to bite me with its venomous fangs. Aaron was too far to do anything but he still ran towards me in an attempt to stop the arbok.
I shielded my face from the incoming attack out of reflex since I knew there was nothing I could do and I had a habit of freezing up at the worst of times. But before the arbok could bite me I heard the snake release a loud grunt and I heard something hit the ground.
I lowered my paw that was blocking my face to reveal an umbreon standing defensively over me. This umbreon was another member of WPA and he went by the name of Eclipse. He too was just as dedicated to helping the world become a better place and I was glad to call him a friend.
"Come on Gray I know your lazy but its unlike you to lie around and get your ass served to you by a puny snake" Eclipse joked as he shot a serious glance at the snake. Then accompanying the umbreon was a female charmeleon who went by the name of Katherine, but everyone called her Kat for short.
"Yeah get with the program Gray" the charmeleon said as she grabbed me and forced me to my feet. Despite her not looking strong she was actually pretty strong, along with an attitude problem.
The scizor was now recovering from his injuries and his jaw dropped as he saw that our numbers have doubled since he was out of the battle. The arbok was now slithering back towards his trainer as the scizor limped his way back as well.
"Hey Arbok… I don't like where this is going" the scizor said nervously as he watched us nervously.
"What the hell, now theirs just too many of them" the trainer whined in a voice that a grown man should never use. Then for the first time the human made a rational decision and ran for dear life, but he didn't bother helping his pokemon, his pokemon instantly took notice and followed behind him running like hell.
All of us just watched the cowards run off with their tails between their legs. Aaron then directed his attention towards the nidoran who was now standing and had a nervous look on her face as well. I would imagine she was still pretty shaken up.
"Hey you okay kid" Aaron asked the nidoran.
"Yeah thanks… If you didn't show up those thugs would have kidnapped me or something" she said as she gave a small bow with her head to show her gratitude. "How can I repay this debt" she then asked curiously.
"Just stay out of trouble and we'll be square" Eclipse responded to the nidoran.
"Yeah I can try that" the nidoran replied in a nervous voice that sounded insecure. "If you don't mind me asking, who are you guy's" the nidoran asked us.
"We are the world peace association" Aaron replied with a lot of pride in his voice.
The nidoran's head then tilted a little "That's not that creative" she replied with a small chuckle, which I had to agree the name was rather bland and boring I would have preferred the peace corp or maybe angles of peace or something cool like that.
"Hey I didn't make the name, it was voted on by other members way before I joined" Aaron said.
"Others… You mean there's more" she said in surprise.
"Yeah over one-hundred in our organization and were still growing every day" Kat added in as she crossed her arms and showed little interest in explaining who we were for the fiftieth time this week.
"Well we'd best get going, take care" Aaron said as he waved goodbye and we all followed his lead as we all waved as well. The nidoran waved back at us in response with a big smile on her face.
"Thank you so much" she yelled as we walked away.
Nine months later
"Dammit" Aaron yelled out loud as he punched a brick wall as hard as he could. I watched Aaron's reaction as he just received news from a monferno who didn't stick around to comfort him for whatever reason he was upset. Aaron and I were in an alley checking the thuggish areas of Luminose city before we were interrupted by the monferno. I decided I wanted to learn the info that unsettled Aaron so much that he would punch an innocent wall like that.
"What's wrong did something happen" I asked the flareon who was gritting his teeth in frustration.
"It happened again" Aaron said as he exhaled a breath and his anger was replaced it with sorrow.
"What happened" I asked even though I had a good idea on what happened and I just wanted to confirm it.
Aaron looked up at me with shaky eyes that were soon replaced with anger again "More members were murdered a few days ago… that make's twenty-four members dead so far" Aaron yelled in anger. My heart instantly sank upon hearing the grave news. I was hoping that it was over but instead its continuing and even getting worse.
"Do we know who's doing it yet" I asked him.
"No, no one knows who. It could be a group that hates what we are doing or someone could be getting back at us or Mew knows what" Aaron stated some theories. "If this keeps up pokemon are going to get scared and give up our cause."
"Then that'll leave the truly dedicated" I responded with confidence. "Don't worry we'll get them back next time" I said as I placed my paw on Aaron's shoulder. The flareon instantly looked up as he saw me looking at him with confidence. I knew if we tried we'd catch the pokemon or people that did such a horrible thing.
"Your right… We are going to get them" he replied back with a smirk.
"Great, why don't we gather up our unit and we can work on tracking down the killer or killers" I suggested.
"Not a bad idea, I'll rally everyone back here and we can strategize a plan to end this" The fire type said as he took off running to fetch our team.
It took only thirty minutes until Aaron returned with our whole team. Now with us was Aaron, Eclipse, Katherine, Joel and Sarah. Joel was a houndour that was on our team, he wasn't too social and he mostly kept to himself but I knew he had his reasons for joining WPA. Sarah on the other hand was a buizel who wasn't really good at fighting but instead her intellect was what made her talented.
"So what did you interrupt our day off for" Kat asked in annoyance.
"I know it's every ones day off but this is an emergency meeting" Aaron said in all seriousness.
"It's about the pokemon that recently died isn't it" Eclipse asked. Aaron let out a nod in response.
"So it happened again" Sarah said with a broken spirit. I too was pretty devastated about this but I always made it a habit to keep a positive attitude even in the darkest of moments.
"Yeah…" Aaron said faintly as he looked down. Aaron then looked back up with a serious gaze "Alright everyone put your main duties on hold. We are going to hunt down whoever is doing this and see that they are put in a court of law" Aaron said with his serious tone. "Is there anyone who doesn't want to be a part of this" Aaron asked as he looked around to see an uneasy look in some ones face.
Aaron noticed every ones dedication and he let out a small smirk "Good glad to see your all true members of WPA."
"So where do we start" Eclipse asked.
"The murder did happen in Luminose, word is that everyone possible has been asked but there are no witnesses. This crime was performed by someone who knows what they are doing" Aaron said as he made eye contact with all of us.
"I want everyone to find a route and search the living hell out of it and ask every living organism questions. I will look around the city to see if I can find anything on my own" The flareon said.
"Sounds like a boring plan" I added in.
"That's not the point, there are lives on the line now and if we don't act there will be more victims" Aaron said back at me with slight anger in his voice.
"Yeah your right" I admitted.
"Okay let's move out every second we wait that killer could get away" Aaron yelled like a drill instructors commands his subjects. With those commands we all gave out a quick nod and sprinted towards our objectives.
Four months later
Ever since we started looking the murders have only increased. One by one I watched as our numbers dwindled smaller and smaller. I remember the first murder I heard about it was so shocking. Now I wake up in the morning and I find out another unit was slaughtered and if not that pokemon where resigning. The murders were only getting worse and our unit was getting nowhere on finding at least one clue that could give us hope. As Aaron predicted many members grew afraid and left WPA and with them our dream of a better world died off slowly. It's ironic how fast life can change, for so many years I have dedicated my life in helping this association in hopes that it would become successful. It is ironic how years of work was destroyed in less than a year and our hopes and dreams were gone as well.
Our whole team was now travelling in a forest outside of Laverre town searching in an area where one of the founders of our organization was killed. He was an awesome pokemon, he only cared about the world and he'd practically do anything just to make someone smile. Whoever killed him was going to pay and I was going to see to that if it was the last thing I did with my life. For quite some time we walked aimlessly through the forest without a single clue on where to look for our killer.
"We need to all talk" Eclipse randomly said and destroyed the silence.
"Yeah what's up" I asked the umbreon.
"These murders that have been going on… Our numbers are small and there is no doubt where next on the list-" Eclipse started saying before he was interrupted by Aaron "What are you saying we just give up and let everyone's death be in vein. You can leave but I'm not giving into the bastard that tracked down my friends and slaughtered them" Aaron yelled back at him.
"Listen Aaron I have a family back in the Sinnoh region. I was captured by a trainer and I was brought here you know that right" Eclipse started to say.
"Yeah and go back to them we'll understand" Kat said.
"Well no I don't think you understand… I can't go back due to it costing a fortune to travel across the world and its practically impossible for pokemon to make money in this world" Eclipse added.
"Then what are you getting at" Aaron asked.
"I want to go home and ever since I was brought here I have been trying to work my way out of here so I can return home" Eclipse continued to say as a tear rolled down his eye. "Listen you all need to renounce your loyalty to WPA right now" Eclipse then yelled really loud and everyone froze in shock to his outburst.
"I will never do that" Aaron snapped back.
"Anyone… Will no one listen to reason" Eclipse asked as he looked around. Everyone just stared at him as tears came down his eyes. Kat then walked up to him and stretched her paw out to give him a hug, but right before she touched him his eyes shot open and he jumped back from her.
"Don't touch me" he yelled back as tears continued to go down his eyes.
"What the hell has gotten into you" Aaron yelled at the umbreon.
"Please this is your last chance to leave before it's too late" Eclipse yelled in a shaky voice. Then that's when I felt something in my horn. I have never felt a vibe like this one before it chilled my horn to its core and made me feel uneasy. I didn't like where this was going and I felt the urge to get a lot of distance from this area.
"It's no use they've been completely brain washed into believing this world peace bull shit" I heard a voice yell out. Then out of one of the bushes came two pokemon, a white umbreon with black rings on his body that had cold red eyes. Accompany the white umbreon was a riolu who had a sword slung on his back along with an arrogant smile on his face that made him look blood thirsty for violence. The feeling in my horn only got stronger as the two approached us.
"Eclipse what the hell is this" Aaron yelled out loud in anger as he stared down the two new pokemon.
"I found the killers we've been looking so long for, at first I was going to try and kill them but as I watched the two for a couple weeks I only realized how outmatched we were" Eclipse said as a tear went down his eye.
"Your friend sold you out is what he's too scared to say" the riolu said as he and the white umbreon stood their ground.
Everyone fell silent as they heard those words. "Eclipse… I-I thought you were one of us" Sarah yelled as a tear made its way down her face.
"I'm sorry, I need the money so I can go home and return to my family" the umbreon said as he began sobbing. "I lowered our friends into remote areas so they could be easy victims… If I did that, they promised I'd have a chance to save you guy's if I could get you to leave WPA and they offered to pay my way to Sinnoh in exchange for my silence and assisting in this job" the umbreon said as he sobbed.
"You traitor" I yelled at him in shock as I stared at the pokemon I loved as a brother. Over the years I've known him I always trusted him and we had so many fond memories together. I thought I could trust someone like him. We may have not been a real family but everyone in WPA was like my real family and family never backstabs each other no matter what.
"So this is how it's going to end" Aaron growled as he got into a battle stance.
"I'm sorry… truly… But everyone was already going to die, I just didn't want to die without seeing my family one last time and this was my only way" the traitor said as he continued to cry.
"Why the hell are you two going around killing us off" Joel then asked as he let out a ferocious growl.
"You all have bounties on your head, going around making the world a happier place doesn't exactly make some people to happy" the riolu said as he let out a smile I wanted to punch so bad. What I'd give to smash his face until it wasn't even identifiable.
"Who put a bounty on us" The houndour continued to ask.
"You don't need to know that" the riolu replied as his partner just remained silent and just stared at us with those cold red eyes of his.
"Then why do they want us all dead" Aaron asked as he tried to control his temper.
"Kalos is becoming too peaceful for some peoples taste. It's hard for dogs like us to make a good living when the world is so damn peaceful. Pokemon and people need a world full of depression and reason's to hate each other in order for us to make our living, what your doing is just bad for our business. So multiple mercenaries are getting paid to clean you hippies up" the riolu said as he slowly began to unsheathe his sword and it made a screeching noise as it scratched against the sheath. "Although I don't care for talking so let's just see how peaceful you guys are when I'm hacking you limb from limb" the riolu said as he finished withdrawing his sword.
Eclipse took a few steps out of our reach and hid behind the mercenaries that were hired to do some wetwork against us. The other umbreon that had a pure white coat of fur then began walking towards us. The umbreon's right paw then lit up in a dark aura that made the horn on my head become numb from the cold vibe it gave off.
"This is for everyone that you've killed you mother fuckers" Aaron yelled as he shot a flamethrower that consumed the whole area where our opponents stood.
"Show me a good time flareon" I heard the riolu yell from above. I looked up and saw the riolu jump off a tree branch at light speed, how he got up their so fast was out of my comprehension. Then to the left I saw the white umbreon calmly walking towards us with that shadow paw of his.
"I'll take the umbreon" I yelled as I charged towards the umbreon and the houndour followed my lead. I had my own lethal attack I've only used on rare occasions. I concentrated my energy and shards of ice formed around me and shot at the umbreon at a high speed. The umbreon zigzagged around each shard without even showing a sign of struggle.
'Well that was useless' I thought.
Joel then released an ember towards umbreon, he didn't even bother dodging that attack and instead he punched it with his shadow paw and it created a massive explosion of smoke. Through the smoke came the umbreon at light speed. His paw was directed straight towards me and I froze up like I always did when something serious happened.
Right before my death came the houndour jumped in the way and clamped his jaw shut right on the umbreon's right paw just outside of the dark matter. "Move or your dead" the houndour growled with the bloody paw in his mouth. The umbreon just looked at him with a cold glare and his whole body lit up with dark matter. Joel instantly flinched back and let out a loud yelp of pain as he fell on the ground and held his snout. I gave a quick glance to his wound and his whole snout was burned by that dark aura the umbreon used. All I knew at this point is that this umbreon was a demon.
"What the hell are you" I asked the umbreon as he stared at me with no emotions. I took a split second to observe the riolu situation and I saw the rest of my team with cuts all over their body struggling to keep up with the riolu's godly speed. Everyone was shooting projectile attacks at the riolu who dodge each attack without any struggle.
I then saw the riolu let out another smile as if he was enjoying himself. Aaron shot another flamethrower at the riolu and the whole area lit up in a bright color as everyone shielded their eyes. Then Aaron's eyes grew wide as I saw blood spray out of his arm. The riolu stood only a few feet behind Aaron's back as blood dripped off the sword. He moved so fast when Aaron attacked I completely missed what he did. Aaron just stood there in shock as his left arm fell onto the floor and shortly after he fell on the ground screaming in pain as he rolled around and a pool of blood started forming around him.
"Aaron" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I then felt something sharp pierce my hip and my whole side shot up in pain and I fell down as I screamed in pain as well. I looked over to the side and I saw a giant puncture in my side that blood continuously flowed out of and the umbreon from before walked past me and paid no attention to me at all. I completely took my eyes off the fight and it possibly cost me and everyone else their lives. I tried to struggle up but the muscles around my wound felt as if they were going to tear if I moved too much and made it impossible to make big movements.
Everyone else on my team used a variety of attacks against the riolu in a chance to get back at him for what he just did to Aaron who was now lying on the floor cringing in pain. The white umbreon was now sprinting up on Kat from behind and she didn't even notice him because she was so focused on getting the riolu with her fire balls.
"Kat" I yelled as loud as I could in a futile attempt to warn the charmelon. The charmeleon turned her head just in time to see the umbreon coming but before she could move out of the way his right paw entered her chest and blood shot out of her mouth along with the hole that was now in her chest.
"Two down" I heard the umbreon say to himself in a voice that lacked any form of empathy.
"You bitch" Sarah yelled at the top of her lungs as she shot a water gun towards the umbreon that was sprinting towards her. The umbreon slid below her attack and swung his paw at her left leg and slit it wide open. She instantly fell down on the ground helplessly as her leg gushed blood. Sarah was now in tears as she gave into despair. I couldn't believe this was happening it was like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from and no matter how bad I wanted to help I couldn't.
The white umbreon then lifted up his paw to finish the job but right before he could finish the job Joel came out of nowhere and tackled the umbreon to the ground. The umbreon went sliding across the ground but before he could land another attack the riolu was already making his way over to him at an impossible speed.
I charged up an ice beam to try and save my friend and I shot it towards the riolu. The riolu easily ducked under my attack without even looking at it. Joel began turning his head towards the riolu but before he could even see what was coming the riolu had already made his move. Joel fell to the ground with blood exiting a gash in his throat. As much as I wanted to not believe it I already lost two friends within a minute all because of that traitor.
I tried to struggle to my feet but the instant I tried anything every muscle in my body shot up with unspeakable pain. It was futile, this was where our story was going to end and I did nothing but screw up for everyone. If I was paying attention to that umbreon instead of their fight I may have been able to buy them some time.
The white umbreon was now making his way to Sarah to finish his dirty work, I tried to charge up another ice beam but I was too weak due to blood loss at this point and I was good for nothing. Then another flamethrower came from nowhere and almost engulfed the umbreon and riolu in its flames but they jumped out of the way barely escaping with their lives.
Standing up on three paws was Aaron and I observed his wound where his arm used to be and I saw that he cauterized the wound shut. He was now gasping in pain and I could see that he was barely even awake.
"Wow you're a tough one aren't you, must have been near impossible to burn that shut without screaming bloody murder" the riolu said as he held his sword over his shoulder and ignored Sarah for now.
"I didn't want to ruin the surprise" Aaron said in between his pained gasps. Aaron was barely standing and I could see him struggling to even keep his balance. The riolu walked up to him but he didn't even resist and just stood there completely out of it. The riolu just gave him a small poke and he fell over unconscious.
"Gotta love pokemon who are all talk and no bite" The riolu said as he gave out an uninterested look.
The white umbreon was now walking over to Sarah who was unable to walk at this point and was shaking uncontrollable in fear as tears streamed down her eyes. The white umbreon's hand was surrounded by that weird energy once again and he held it over the helpless buizel. I tried charging another ice beam but I was too weak to concentrate the attack and it failed to manifest into a physical attack.
"Wait" the riolu yelled before he killed her. The umbreon just shot the riolu a quick glance. "I know a group of pokemon that'd love these guy's and they'd pay us well" the riolu proposed.
"Why does it matter to us, we aren't getting paid for this" the white umbreon said in a monotone voice. Me hearing that they weren't getting paid practically made my heart stop beating. What kind of sick twisted pokemon would do this if there were no benefits. These pokemon made me sick to my stomach I never knew humanity could fall this low.
"That's true but keeping Jack happy makes our lives easy and what makes that greedy pig happier than money" the riolu said.
"What are you going to do to them" I heard eclipse yell as he came out of the bushes where he was hiding the whole time. The umbreon instantly froze as he stared at the gruesome scene of seeing half of his ex-friends dead and the other half almost dead.
"Our job is just to see that they don't do any more of this peace crap, so as long as their off the grid were getting paid" the riolu said. Eclipse looked at each and every one of us as more tears ran down his face, if I was able to move at this point I'd kill him for what he did and if I lived to see another day I'm going to rip him and his family limb from limb for what he did.
"Just get lost kid, we'll bring you your pay when we are wrapped up here now get lost" the riolu yelled at him. Eclipse didn't even spend a second disagreeing and he turned around with his head held low and walked away.
"T-…Traitor" I yelled at the umbreon in a weak voice. Every one of my enemies looked over at me.
"Your still alive, I must have missed my target earlier" the white umbreon said as he started walking towards me.
"Hey he's good for that thing I talked about to so leave him alive" the riolu said. The umbreon didn't listen and he just continued walking towards me and eventually he stood right over me.
"Eclipse" I started saying before the umbreon did anything else to me. "Rot in Hell you traitor scum" I yelled in a weak voice. The umbreon just held his head low in disgust of his own actions and I prayed to Mew that this drove him to suicide or worse.
"I'm sorry Gray… I don't expect you to-" I heard Eclipse say before the other umbreon slammed his paw right into the side of my head and everything went dark instantly.

Chapter End
Author Note: Okay really long chapter, actually my longest chapter yet. I try and not make them this long since its overwhelming in my opinion (I do have a habit of finishing things in one sitting, and that includes when I write a chapter and reading) So a lot has happened in this chapter for Gray, I'm continuing the flash back next chapter. As I said I couldn't fit it all in one chapter and God editing this chapter was a nightmare because it was so long. So onto story now.
So we got to see how Gray was when he was a lot younger. Huge personality change due to traumatic stuff happening. I won't get to in detail about whats happening since I want you guys to put pieces together on your own. I just can't wait to continue the flash back, which will probably take two more chapters.
Thanks for reading and another thank you to anyone who review or fav/followed my story your all awesome peeps.
