AN: I see this story doesn't get too much attention, but I don't really care. I like this story and love how it ends. I'm going to write this one and hope it helps me out of my funk. Anyway, I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot, game file, and what obviously not owned by someone else.
This statement is a promise that none of the information on death and moves learned is fabricated and I am playing truthfully. Some events are tweaked to fit storyline mode however such as a Pokémon learning a move to help in a tight situation in a battle that they learned after defeating the Pokémon in question. That anime flare I like so much!
Chapter 5
"Noel?" Devon asked her starter making sure he was alright.
"Glaceon!" Noel cried as he used Freeze Shock. The incoming attack was such a surprise Celebi didn't have time to retaliate as the psychic and grass legendary was frozen and shocked. The pain Celebi felt couldn't compare to Noel's about what had happened to his trainer and the friend they had lost. A moment later the green pixie fell out of the air on the ground motionless.
Devon just stared at what had transpired. She couldn't believe what had happened. She didn't know what to do? Scold her Pokémon or see to the seemingly heartless one? She was lost. Devon finally decided and slowly walked up to Celebi who still laid on the ground. She kneeled down next to the Pokémon and cautiously placed a hand on the green Pokémon.
"Celebi?" Devon asked with a fear in her voice. Celebi didn't move, but its eyes slowly opened. Seeing the hurt expression Devon instantly broke into tears. "Celebi, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. I'm so sorry."
Celebi slowly smiled. "It's okay...I should...have told you."
"Glaceon!" Noel shouted.
Celebi gave a small flinch. "I'm sorry..."
"No! I've got to help you. Please! Tell me how!" Devon said almost in hysterics.
"Glacee!" Noel cried as he blew an icy breath at her. Devon's tears instantly dried and she looked to her partner. Devon felt calmer and looked to them both. She wasn't from here and didn't need to freak out.
"A flower...in the ruins...not far." Celebi said weakly.
"What does it look like?"
"It..."
Celebi was having a hard time staying conscious. Devon slowly shook the Pokémon hoping that it wasn't too late. Watching carefully she could see a slow breathing. At least Celebi was still alive. However, if she didn't do anything soon Celebi wouldn't be much longer. She had to help it. Celebi had helped her and well...
"Noel, do you know what the flower looks like?" Devon asked. Noel looked down at the ground. "Noel?"
"Gla." Noel nodded. He knew what the flower looked like. It wasn't that long ago that he had to look for one. Much good it did and ended losing more than originally did. He looked to the fallen grass and psychic type. He guess he owed him. He introduced him to Devon and if Celebi died it wouldn't be good for her. He motioned for her to follow him.
The ruins were of an old structure which apparently had been ruins before the world turned against each other. Many people came there in hope to see their dreams. She remembered learning about it and wanted to visit, but she wasn't allowed. Devon looked up to the sky then down to Noel. She didn't something to tell her what she wanted. She wanted to be a trainer and now she technically was one despite the extreme measures. Looking past it was everything she dreamed of.
Noel looked around cautiously. He was looking for the flower but a part of him couldn't help think someone was watching them. His eyes scanned the area and frown. Nothing. He then turned and something bright caught his eye.
"Glaceon!" Noel cried out attracting his trainer to his finding. Devon quickly ran to her Pokémon and saw him nudging at a yellow puffy flower.
"This one?" Devon asked.
"Cee." Noel nodded.
"Let's hurry back to Celebi." Devon said as she bent over and grabbed the flower. As she pulled she stepped back and snapped a twig under foot.
"Aggron!"
Devon and Noel instantly jumped back as the Pokémon came out of the stone wall and swiped at them.
"Aggron we're sorry!" Devon said to the Pokémon as it angrily glared at them.
"Gron!" Aggron cried as he attacked them with Metal Burst.
Noel quickly dodged out of the way only to be slammed by a Crush Claw.
"Noel!" Devon said as she went to her partner.
"Glaceon!" He shouted at her to stay back away from the fighting. Devon stopped in her tracks and nodded. They needed to battle.
"Alright." Devon said. "Noel use Relic Song!"
"Glaceeee!"
Noel's mouth open revealing black notes that struck Aggron. The move barely did any damage and Aggron simply became angrier. Aggron then charged Noel who swiftly dodged out of the way only to be met with Metal Claw.
Devon's heart and breathing quicken. She was going to panic. Noel was getting the beaten and there was nothing she felt she could do. He dodged and dodged, but she knew enough to know he couldn't keep that up forever. She stumbled back and thought about grabbing her starter and running for it. She had what she needed, but that mean Aggron wouldn't chase them. She couldn't do that to Celebi or Noel. He was too fast.
Noel wouldn't have time to move. He braced himself for the strike that might even end his life. He wasn't sure how much more damage he could take after those last couple hits. His eyes widen seeing a white shockwave that hit Aggron in the face. The steel stopped for moment and looked around.
"Noel Avalanche!" Devon cried taking the moment to recollect and get the advantage. She didn't what happened, but she couldn't be happier.
Noel howled and structures of ice appeared burying Aggron. Within moments Devon could no longer see the aggressive Pokémon. She finally breathed.
"Glacee." Noel growled at the pile.
Devon walked up to her starter and put a hand on his back. He stopped and looked up to her. Devon smiled. Devon was happy. Her starter still lived on and she didn't have to kill Aggron. She knew he survived just was trapped. Ice wasn't effective against steel types she remembered. She needed to handle the steel and rock type before it finished her and Noel.
"Let's get this back before he gets out." Devon said to him. Noel nodded and turned away to head back.
The ice slowly rumbled and fell to the ground. Devon turned around and saw the ice burst with Aggron jumping up and aiming for Devon. Noel's eyes widen and felt a deathly chill run through his body. He jumped up to meet Aggron.
"Glaceeee!" Noel cried as his body glowed blue and a beam of light fired. Ice froze in mid-air and fell to the ground as the ground froze with pillars shooting up.
Devon fell to her knees as the harsh blizzard like attack swept through the field. Devon attempted to open her ice crusting eyelashes to look at the scene. Her eyes widen at the sight. Aggron's body became frozen solid and it had a dead stare in its eyes. As the storm died she took out her dex.
Move Identified: Sheer Cold. The target is attacked with an absolute-zero cold and automatically faints.
Devon's eyes widen. Noel...killed the Pokémon and she didn't command it or at least command it on accident. At first she was mortified, but then she understood. He did it for her and she knew he would do it again if needed.
Noel sighed. He did it. He protected Devon...just like Celebi asked him too. The mystical Pokémon didn't want to lose her either. This death was needed or the journey would have been over. The ice type turned and looked to his trainer. She looked scared before her expression change to calm. He quickly ran to her side and rubbed his face against hers. Devon grabbed him by the neck and hugged him. Noel again didn't feel as cold.
Devon and Noel quickly made it back to where they had set up camp. Celebi was barely alive so she quickly made the flower in a mixture. Moments later she delivered the medicine and waited. Waited. It seemed like hours and Devon feared she was too late.
"I'm sorry." Devon said as she put her head down and tried not to cry.
"Nice job...I knew you were the trainer I needed."
Devon looked to the part grass type and smiled. Celebi's eyes were open and looking right at her. Celebi was going to fine. Devon smiled and wiped her face.
Celebi smiled at the girl. It made the right choice with Devon. Any normal trainer it picked would have rushed and not listened to anything it had to say. It needed someone it could guide and do so quickly. Devon was willing to learn and that was a quality the others didn't have.
"Thank you Devon." Celebi said as the green pixie gained more strength.
"No, I'm sorry." Devon said as she looked at the ground. Devon lifted her head when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Celebi's warm smile.
"I should have told you. I just don't understand why? Why did you save me?"
"You're my friend." Devon said smiling before she had this humorous look on her face. "Plus I would have been screwed without you."
"Yes, you would have." Celebi said starting to giggle. "Noel, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I thought you knew when I asked you."
"Gla." Noel said as he snorted. He wasn't all to forgiving as much as Devon was, but he knew they had common interest.
"Noel, I picked you for a reason. You are evolved and much stronger than any Pokémon I could find. I didn't want to see anyone die again. I knew Noel didn't have much vendetta against humans and could trust him."
"Glac." Noel snorted again, but turned to Devon and gave a small smile to his trainer. He could give Celebi a small amount of forgiveness for introducing him into his trainer; Noel could say his best friend. They both had much to learn and grow. Celebi also needed to learn as did trainer and Pokémon. However, despite Celebi wanted to protect his trainer, Noel just couldn't get over how Celebi would carelessly put Devon's life in harm's way.
"What now?" Devon asked.
"Celestial Tower. That's where we need to go or at least what's left of it." Celebi said.
"Can't you teleport there? Or even us?" Devon asked.
"You need to grow as the trainer I fully need. I don't know what's there, but I think that's where this all started. I don't want to bring you unprepared. You might alone for a while. I will return for you as soon as I can. Please be careful and don't die."
"Thanks for the confidence boost." Devon said. Celebi glared at her and she waved at the grass and psychic type. "I won't."
Celebi smiled and then instantly teleported away to where Devon didn't know, but guessed Celestial Tower.
Before they headed out Devon made sure to visit. It was a quiet, peaceful place in the forest. It was perfect. She hoped when she returned nothing would disturb it. She'd had to disturb the place where Turro rested or at least he ball that was buried under the soft ground in front of a small placement she made. She kneeled down and patted the ground. A tear fell as she whispered she'd miss and loved him. She then got up and turned to her starter and nodded. Noel smiled and turned around ready to leave. Devon turned around and her eyes' widened. There was a small ring of flowers sitting on the grave. She smiled. At least someone was thinking about them. She thanked whoever it was.
