Chapter 42: Learning from Tragedy.
Kirby was walking down a road, taking off his bandages slowly and eating a Sitrus Berry. He was looking at the grey sky and sighed. "What is happening to me. Ever since Echo got hurt... I been so distracted. I been so depressed." He whispered to himself. He continue to walk when he felt a something hit his head. He looked up and found water drops falling from the sky. He looked around and found a hole on a base of a mountain. Kirby ran in it and turned around to face the rain. He sat down and his eyes filled with tears. He lowered his head and tipped his hat so his he could cover his eyes. "What am I going to do." He questioned himself.
"What is wrong, Kirby?" A deep voice asked deep inside the Cave and Kirby stopped crying. He turned around and found Meta Knight in front of him and a clear, spherical head Pokemon containing a bluish purple flame and oval, yellow eyes. On top of its head is a black covering, which resembles a lampshade, with a pointed spike on top. Underneath its head is a small, black body with a pointed spike at the bottom. Extending from its body are two long, wavy arms with no fingers.

Narrator Voice: In the last Chapter, Kirby was defeated by Clay's Excadrill and was placed to heal in the Pokemon Center. After being treated, Kirby decided to leave his Pokemon behind and walked towards Route 6, where he finds Meta Knight and a mysterious Pokemon next to him in a cave.
"Meta Knight, what are you doing here?" He questioned.
"I'm taking a break from my long journey." He answered. "What are you doing here?".He looked at the Lampent, who was glaring at the puff ball and was in attack stance, but Meta Knight raised his hand at him and shook his head.
"Lampent, warn the others, we have a guest." He ordered. Lampent looked at Meta Knight then bowed.
{Yes, Master.} It said and floated away. Meta Knight walked up to Kirby and stared into his eyes.
"You seem troubled Kirby." He said. Kirby looked away from Meta Knight and sat back down with a irritated facial expression.
"I don't need your help." He argued. Meta Knight simply laughed at the comment and shook his head.
"Nonsense, a young star warrior like you shouldn't be sad at all. What's wrong?" He questioned again. Kirby gave a soft sigh and stood back up.
"Fine." He said. Meta Knight looked please and turned around.
"Follow me inside." He uttered. Kirby looked at him confuse while he saw him walk deeper in the cave. Kirby simply followed inside and his eyes widen. He saw multiple pieces of furniture around the cave. A brown chair with a blue and black patter carpet. He had a small coffee table on top of the rug and and small lamp next to the chair. He looked to his left and saw a bed with blue cover and black pillow and next to it was a book shelf fill with multiple books. Kirby looked at Meta Knight suspiciously while he looked back.
"What is this place?" He questioned.
"My small home." He responded. Kirby gave a small nod and found another part of the cave heading deeper. Kirby decided to follow inside and found a room filled with Pokemon. Meta Knight was behind Kirby and he clapped loudly to get the Pokemon attention.
"Everyone, we have a guest." He simply said and some Pokemon lined up. Kirby looked at Meta Knight surprise and pointed at the lined Pokemon.
"Are these your Pokemon?" He asked. Meta Knight gave a slow nod and he went next to them.
"They are my precious friends, Kirby." He answered. He walked to the Pokemon and pat one on the head. "Let me introduce them to you." He said. He went up to three Pokemon and looked at Kirby. "You already know these Pokemon." He said. The Karate Pokemon bowed, the Cave Pokemon grunted, and the Spirit Pokemon waved.
"Sawk, Druddigon, and Yamask." Kirby responded. Meta Knight nodded the three Pokemon, left to relax in a corner, and went to the next Pokemon.
"These two are being kept too." He said. What Kirby saw bipedal, canine-like Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each fore paw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has a long snout and ears. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso, and blue fur on its thighs that resembles shorts. It has a medium length tail of the same blue color as well. It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four small black appendages on its head. He looked at the other one that was a white and long bodied Pokémon with a small head and small, triangular ears. Its forehead has a violet spot adorning it as well as a red one on its snout. It possesses a pair of long, blue tipped whiskers which have split ends. Its arms are almost completely covered by a large amount of fur that is tipped in violet and split at the end. Its torso has one violet ring of fur around its midsection. It also has violet fur on the bottom section of the torso, which resemble pants, and its bottom paws are clawed. It has a long, skinny tail that, like its paw fur, is tipped violet and split at its end.
"Are they Riolu and Mienfoo?" Kirby questioned. Meta Knight nodded and looked at his Pokemon.
"Riolu evolved into Lucario, and Mienfoo is a Mienshao." He informed. He gave a signal for them to leave and Meinshao left without a word. Lucario stayed still and was staring at Kirby, who just stared back and tilted his head.
"What?" He asked. Lucario just stared then he moved away.
{Nothing.} He responded in a deep voice. Kirby just stared at the jackal then turn his attentions to Meta Knight, who had multiple Pokemon behind him.
"And these are the ones I caught after the tournament." He said. He walked up to the floating lamp. "You know Lampent." He said. Kirby stared at the ghost Pokemon and nodded.
"Hi Lampent." He greeted. The ghost Pokemon just stared at Kirby, but then floated away.
{Hi.} He responded in a ghostly voice and left the two star warrior to join Lucario and Mienshao.
"Friendly." Kirby commented and moved on. Meta Knight shook his head at Kirby and looked at Lampent.
"He doesn't interact with other trainers easily." He informed. Kirby nodded and looked at the other Pokemon. He saw a small blue quadrupedal Pokémon with black fur covering its head and neck, concealing everything but its mouth from view, sitting on the ground. The fur around its neck also has six purple spots encircling it, which resemble bruises. The hair on the top of its head takes the shape of a single small horn. It also has a short tail that appears to be bitten off. It was facing Kirby and it stood up. It gave a smirk to the puff ball and tried to charge into him with his mouth ready to bite him, but Meta Knight had a large bone in his hand and blocked the bite with it.
"Deino, play with your bone." Meta Knight ordered. Deino pull the bone from his hand and ran off to a corner to chew it happily.
"Thanks, I'm still recovering from my last battle and I don't want to be bitten by one of your Pokemon." He informed. Meta Knight nodded and walked to his next Pokemon. It was is a bipedal Pokémon that resembles both cats and weasels. It is primarily bluish black with three bright red feathers for its tail and a single one on its left ear. The ear feather is short and the other ear is short and pointed, and it has narrow red eyes. On its forehead and chest are yellow, oval markings. It has red eyes with black eyelash-like markings on the edges. It has long limbs with two large, retractable claws on its hands and feet.
"What is it?" Kirby asked. The Pokemon looked at Kirby suspiciously and got in defense stance.
"Sneasel, lower your guard. He's our guest." Meta Knight commanded. Sneasel stared at Kirby and dropped it claws while smacking her lips.
{Whatever.} She said and walked towards Sawk's group.
"She's full of sass." Kirby told Meta Knight. The masked warrior she looked away and sighed.
"I am having a bit of trouble battling with her, but its a work in progress for now." He explained. He moved to the next to two Pokemon. One was hanging off a ceiling looking like a large, blue bat-like Pokémon with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit pupils and a massive mouth containing four long fang. While its Its pointed ears are tiny, and it has short legs with long, thin feet. It was covering his mouth with his wings and was looking directly at Kirby. While the other was sleeping peacefully below the bat Pokemon that look like a round, green Pokémon surrounded by a darker green, gel-like substance. Its inner body has dark, oval eyes and a red diamond-shaped mouth. On the upper left side of its head is a curly, yellow growth that resembles the endoplasmic reticulum of a cell. Kirby tried to get a good look at the green blob, but the bat spreads it wings and stuck out a purple long tongue at Kirby, making him step back quickly.
"Whoa, that was close." Kirby call out and Meta Knight shook his head.
"You shouldn't get close to Solosis when Golbat is near. Golbat protects that Pokemon like its his own child." Meta Knight informed. Kirby gave a slow nod while staring at the bat, who covered it's mouth and glared t Kirby.
"Sorry about that." He said and walked away. He went next to Meta Knight and found a sleek black body with four slender legs and crimson eyes in front of him. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. It has long pointed ears and a bushy tail, each with a yellow band around them. Its forehead and legs have yellow rings on them.
"What is it?" Kirby questioned. The Dark Pokemon looked at the puff ball and simply closed it's eyes and lied down
"He is a Umbreon." Meta Knight informed. He walked up to it and stroked its head softly and gave a soft chuckle. "Pokemon are wonderful Kirby. I can never imagine life without these guys now." He informed. He took his hand off of Umbreon's head and walked towards the exit. Kirby looked around one last time at the cave and followed Meta Knight. He saw him sit on his couch and stood next to him. "Now that my little tour is over and you met my Pokemon, why don't you tell me what's wrong." Meta Knight suggested. Kirby looked at him sadly and sighed whiled sitting down.
Later, After Kirby telling Meta Knight the events that happen to Echo and Blade...
"Now I see why you're depress and why both your Pikachu and Snivy aren't here with you." Meta Knight acknowledged. Kirby let a few tears escape from his cheek and Meta Knight was about to get up and get a tissue for him, but Lucario beat him to it and whipped the tears away. Kirby looked at the jackal confuse and tilted his head.
"Thanks Lucario, but what are you doing here?" He asked.
{I want to know how Echo defeated Conkeldurr again.} He requested. Kirby shook his head and looked at Lucario sadly.
"Echo didn't defeat him, it was Fenrir." He answered. Meta Knight scratch his head in confusion and got off his chair.
"Is this, Fenrir, your new Pokemon?" Meta Knight asked. Kirby sighed and stood up.
"No, he's Echo, but he's something called..." Kirby scratch his head and tried to remember what Fenrir told him during his Warp Star ride. "What was it again?" He asked himself. He clapped his hands together and smiled. "Oh yea! Something called aura." Kirby remembered. Lucario gasp at the mention of aura and walked over to Kirby. He picked the puff ball up and stared into his eyes while Meta Knight was walking to his book shelf looking for a book.
{Did you said Aura?} He asked. Kirby pulled himself out of his hands and dust himself.
"Yes I did, I said aura because that's what Fenrir, but I don't even know what aura is." Kirby repeated. Lucario wasn't fond of this and was about to punch Kirby but was stopped by Meta Knight, who had a book in his left hand and was looking at Lucario seriously. The Jackal grunted and tossed Kirby down, who landed and looked over to the Knight.
"Kirby, I want you to know that aura is a serious thing and Echo should learn how to control it fast. If not, Echo will possible be in this situation again." Meta Knight warned. Kirby just stared at him and then at the book.
"Will that book tell me what aura is?" He questioned." Meta Knight tossed the book at him and he struggled to grasp it, but caught it.
"It will tell you more about aura then you need to know." He responded. He clapped his hand for both Druddigon and Sawk to place a large rock in the middle of the room and Lucario standing far away from it. "It will tell you how to keep you Pokemon's aura in control and the history of aura users. If there's one move Echo could learn from that book as a start is Aura Sphere." Meta Knight explained. Kirby looked at the first page and saw a picture of a Lucario with a blue sphere in front of him.
"That's Aura Sphere right?" He questioned.
"Yes Kirby, and it's a perfect start to understand aura a bit." Meta Knight answered. Kirby kept staring at the picture until he heard Meta Knight clear his throat and closed the book.
"How will this help Echo?" He questioned. Meta Knight laughed and pasted the young Star warriors back.
"My young Pupil, it's a perfect start for Echo since he'll be understanding aura a bit more." He answered. Kirby has an unsure look and Meta Knight gave a nod and Lucario. "Observe." He simply said. Lucario took a deep breath when faint blue aura started to surround his body. Kirby awed at the sight but wondered what was that faint blue he seeing.
"Is that aura Meta Knight?" He questioned. The Knight gave a quick nod and pointed at Lucario.
"If Echo is able to concentrate is aura enough, then you'll be able to see his aura perfectly. If that happens, I want you to order Echo to concentrate all that aura and place it in front of his paws." He explained. Meta Knight nodded and Lucario, who transferred all his aura into his paw and created a sphere in front of him. "If Echo is successful in creating the orb, he will have to quickly grab the orb then thrust both paws forward to shot it out as a powerful force." He explained. Lucario then demonstrated by grabbing the orb between both hand. He pull it back then thrust it forward, blasting it out of his hand and breaking the rock into pieces. Kirby just stared the attack then opened the book. Lucario walked back to his trainer and kneeled down.
{How did I do Master?} He asked. Meta Knight stroked Lucario's head lightly and his eyes turned blue.
"You did well Lucario." He responded and the jackal smiled as he is being praised. Meta Knight looked at Kirby and pointed at the book. "Take it with you Kirby and read it bit by bit. It will help Echo too." He suggested. Kirby closed the book and shook his head.
"I can't... ever since the Conkeldurr incident, my Pokemon don't have the will to fight with Echo and Blade hurt, and I can't focus on my battles because I'm only see that Pokemon. I get so furious, so raged, that I can't control myself. I'm simply blinded by rage." He admitted. Meta Knight put his hand on Kirby's head and let out a sigh.
"A young star warrior like you may be vulnerable to such a defeat, but this defeat shouldn't bring you down easily. You must continue Kirby, not just for your sake Kirby, but for your Pokemon too." He told him. Kirby looked at him with a glare and growled.
"How?! How can do that when both of them are hurt?!" Kirby yelled out. Meta Knight hit his head with a small karate chop and turned around.
"You need to stay calm Kirby. If I remember correctly, you told me Alpha has Conkeldurr in a Pokeball and was gonna report it to Officer Jenny." Meta Knight stated.
"Yea, so?"
"Then there is no need for you to be enraged Kirby, Conkeldurr is with the police now, and both Blade and Echo are recovering. What's left is for you to calm down. Your Pokemon can feel your anger towards Conkeldurr and your sorrow for both Echo and Blade. You have to put those two feelings aside or you won't get progress on your journey." Meta Knight explained. Kirby shifted his eyes away and started to walk towards the exit of the cave. "And I think its about time for you to train with your Pokemon Kirby." He added. Kirby stopped in front of the exit and turned around. He saw the grass green colored eyes Meta Knight has and looked at the book he had in his hand. "It will benefit both you and your Pokemon, because I challenge you to a 12 v 12 battle." He determined. Kirby eyes widen at the challenge and then looked outside. It stopped raining and the sun was shining bright. Kirby closed his eyes to think about the challenge and think about the things Meta Knight said. He took one last deep breath to accept what happen to Echo and Blade, and what Conkeldurr did to both of them. He won't forgive what Conkeldurr did, but its was something he had to accept. His eyes watered up a bit, but he dried them quickly and looked up with a smirk on his face and holding his hat with courage.
"I accept your challenge." He confirmed. Meta Knight eyes were about to change color until Kirby walked in front of him and looked serious. "But you'll have to give me at least two weeks to prepare for the battle. I'm gonna take on the Driftveil Gym next week, when both Echo and Blade recover, then we'll face you after a week has passed." He told him. Meta Knight thought about the conditions and gave a nod. Kirby thought about the battle for a second and scratch his head "Wait, you only have 11 Pokemon, wheres the 12th?" He questioned. Meta Knight pointed at himself and Kirby gave one last chuckle. He walked towards the exit and stopped in front of it again. "Alright Meta Knight. I'll see you in two weeks for our battle." He declared. Meta Knight gave one last nod and was gonna walk off to the cave of Pokemon with Lucario, until Kirby took a deep breath and turned around. "Meta Knight." He called out. The bat star warrior turned around with his jackal and looked at Kirby.
"What is it Kirby?" He questioned. Kirby smiled brightly at his old mentor and bowed.
"Thanks for listening." He said and ran out of the cave quickly. Meta Knight was looking at the exit for awhile until his eyes turned pink and walked deeper inside the cave to meet the other Pokemon. He clapped his hands together and all his Pokemon gather around him and were.
{Yes Master?} They all asked. Meta Knight took out Galaxia slowly and pointed it in the air.
"We'll train harder than we did before, so get ready my friends. It's time for some grueling training." He announced and his blade turned into fire while all his Pokemon cheered loudly.
Pikachu564: All done.
Spark: This was a easy chapter.
Rick: And Kirby is cured now.
Leafeon: We're back :3
Jude: And we brought snacks.
Rick: Sweet, give me some.
Spark: Thanks Jude.
Pikachu564: Did you bring me anything?
Jude: Sorry, they didn't have human snacks in a POKEMON STORE!
Pikachu564: Geez, sorry.
Lucky: Sorry, but Data is downloading the next Pokemon analysis for next chapter
Pikachu564: Fine, lets just do the closure.
Spark: *Munch* *Munch* Okay, Remember to Favorite.
Rick: Follow.
Jude: And Review please.
Pikachu564: And I will like you guys to make a prediction. I have set up a specific Rival for each Pokemon Kirby and Meta Knight have, and I would like you guys to guess who's rival is who. Sadly, Lampent's rival will come later in the story, so Kirby still has to catch it first. But I need three more rivals in Meta Knight's team for Ivy, Soak, and Kindle. I'll like to see what rival these three should have from you guys if possible. Leave them in the review or PM me the idea. Pikachu564's message over. Peace.
