Mr. Riz-Primeape

Chuck-Beartic

Peaches-Audino

I don't own Pokemon!

Derrick's PoV

A Primeape woke me up.

"Are you ok?" said the gruff, but concerned voice.

I recognized the voice instantly.

"I think I'm fine " I said getting up to my feet.

"You get into a fight?" he asked me raising an eyebrow.

"Chuck started it, because he wanted a shiny stone that I found sir." I said.

"That Beartic is getting detention tomorrow…." growled.

"Wait, you fought him for a stone?" he realized.

"Sir, if I gave in to him, he'll never stop bullying me." I said, trying to construct a confident face.

He nodded gravely.

"That, you're right kid, but you need to be stronger." he said.

"Sir, can you…" I started

"No, kid, I'm sorry, I don't have the time." he said cutting me off, and I nodded in defeat.

I trudged back him, vowing to myself to get stronger and beat the bully, once and for all.

Then I realized. Crystal!

I rushed back and searched the snow. Mr. Riz must not have spotted in the snow as her coat and the snow kinda matched. I looked around for a bit and found her.

She was still lying down unconscious, with a bruise forming around her muzzle. Looks like that deadbeat punched her in the face.

I shook her awake.

"Are you ok?" I asked, speaking the exact same works said to me when he woke me up.

"I'm fine, Derrick, my face hurts though…." she said.

She was tougher than I expected. Looks like all the training in her home kinda paid off, but she still lost.

"What about the stone?" she asked.

"Stone?" said a new voice.

We both turned back and looked at the source.

Dan's PoV

Today was the day Peaches let me out from the hospital to explore the city on my own. She wasn't sure I could handle it for the first few days, but now, she thinks that I know who to keep away from, and who to ask for help.

I was moving through Sleet City, when I saw this great big school called Sleet City High. I was really impressed with the size of the school, so I decided to visit again later, after school, to maybe make some friends? I dunno. I had this tug towards this school though, for some reason, like my Sceptilite may be there….I shook my head and pressed the joystick to continue moving.

I checked out restaurants, manors, apartments, and small houses. There were rich and poor here too. There was money here too.

I sighed. My trainer was- no is pretty rich, because he's defeated so much trainers and has caused his balance to increase more than 10 mil.

There were even…..what will you call them? Churches? Temples? I dunno. A prayer hall, maybe? That'll work maybe. I entered the prayer hall which was dedicated to Arceus.

I never understood why Pokémon prayed to Arceus, I mean come on! He can be defeated. Gods can't. I think Mega Mewtwo can take him on, but I bet if Carter and I Mega Evolve, we can take him(I dunno the gender to be honest)

"Not in your current state, you won't" I thought to myself sadly.

I pushed the thoughts about to Arceus away. I may not worship Arceus, but he definitely has my respect.

I decided to return to that school, and then head back to the hospital which I currently called home.

When I reached the school, it had become pretty late, so I didn't think anyone would be there at this point, but I heard voices.

"Are you okay?" a male voice said.

"I'm fine, Derrick, my face hurts though…." a female voice replied.

That's when both the figures came into view.

A huge icy Pokémon with green hands – an Abomasnow, and a Glaceon came into view. The Abomasnow was helping up the Glaceon.

"What about the stone?" she asked, as I drew nearer.

I realized this might about the Sceptilite, so I asked

"Stone?"

Both of them turned towards me.

"Who are you?" the Glaceon asked narrowing her eyes.

"It's Dan!" Derrick exclaimed.

I then remembered this Abomasnow next to my bed, when I first became conscious.

"Hey, you're that guy" I said, after remembering where I first saw him.

"You know this Sceptile?" the Glaceon asked Derrick.

"Dan-Crystal, Crystal-Dan" he introduced.

"Dan?" she asked.

"Yeah, he's the guy who fell on Bole from the sky." he said in a matter-of-fact way.

"Yeah, sorry about that" I said apologetically.

"No problem, Bole's fine" he said grinning.

I came back to the topic.

"So what were you telling about the stone?" I asked.

"Well, Derrick tripped over a stone today morning." Crystal reported.

"It was a spherical stone, green in color-" he started.

"With a red and black stripe, sorta wavy, going through the middle?" I interrupted.

"Yeah, how do you know?" he asked in surprise.

Crystal narrowed her eyes. She seemed the untrusting type.

"I know because it's mine" I said.

They both blanched. Well, Derrick's green parts blanched.

"Do you have it?" I continued.

"Ummm, we-e-e-ll…." Derrick started.

"A Beartic named Chuck took it by force" finished Crystal.

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah" they both said sadly.

"Where's Chuck?" I growled, clenching my fists.

I suppose Crystal thought a handicapped Sceptile defeating a Beartic was a funny idea, but I knew one of the most powerful moves in the world.

"You're coming to school tomorrow, right?" Derrick asked.

"Yeah" I said.

"You'll meet him soon enough then" Derrick said with a grin.

At least Derrick was optimistic.

I said goodbye to them and headed back to the hospital. They were probably talking about my chances against that brute, Chuck. Frenzy Plant will do damage to him, but it had never been my strongest move. My strongest move was something I could do only if I think of Sky.

My strongest move had always been and will always be Return.

Sky's PoV

I looked at the troublesome portal that had given me so much grief. No form of radiation or light I reflected into the portal came back. When it became unstable that night, when I forgot to turn it off like an idiot, it had become into a black hole into another world.

I couldn't risk sending anything into the portal, because if Dan didn't make it back, nobody could.

Carter walked in and looked over my shoulder, then looked at all the equipment, I was using.

He shook his head and touched his Lucarionite.

Of course! When science fails you, go √ 2, that is to say, irrational. I touched my bracelet, and let my thoughts wander to Dan. Zilch. That means Dan was not wearing it, it must have fell off somehow. This made me really worried.

I voiced out my feelings.

"I'm worried, Carter" I said.

"Don't worry, Dan's a tough cookie." Carter said to me with a smile.

A/N: 2 chapters, there! All right, I was listening to 'Take Back The Night' so please pardon me, if you see some big time errors there lol. Some of you may argue the fact that the max power of Return is 102. Like I said in chapter 1, the battles are more anime based, then game mechanics. So imagine Return doing 300 damage ;) Hope you enjoyed, and I'm kinda having a 1-month deadline now, so after that, feel free to pester me. Hope you enjoyed!
