Hopefully this aint the last chapter. School's started up again! D: I'm gonna do mah best to make this end with a bang! :3 Hopefully this aint the last chapter. If it is the epilogue's gonna be kinda short. –sweatdrop- I'm thinkin of doin a sequel to this and making it a series. The only problem is that I'm kinda busy at the moment and it may be a bit before I do so. No worries, I'll just make this last story (LOL, j/k! XD I'm gonna want to do another addition to the series when I get bored xD) :3 Btw, I block out the cuss words with dots now. –sweatdrops again- Shoulda thought of that sooner... (I mainly only use the dots for major cuss words l.l)

Memory

I made a quick swerve around the dark ball of energy. Unfortunately, there wasn't much time to move, so it grazed me a little. I felt the newly made rip in my clothes as the ball hit his psychic barrier. He winced, but his expression hardly changed.

I launched a Flamethrower when I felt Flareon ears grow out of my head. Good, I still got it. He put his hand in front of him and absorbed the attack as if it was nothing. I gritted my teeth. Dammit.

I soon got a powerful wave of psychic energy thrown at me. I just chose an attack at random. Uh, how bout one from a Glaceon? So I used Ice Ball and that countered the attack. I glanced away and saw Savanna floating in that damn tank. I felt my limbs freeze up and the feeling of being crushed flooded my body. A noticed a blue aura outlining my body as Kuro raised his hand up.

My eyes widened in either pain or shock. He didn't even have to try to put me in a world of hurt. I flinched as he lifted me off the ground with his psychic abilities. He tossed me into the barrier and I saw Drew attempting to use his Pokémon to break through it, without success. May stared at Savannah worriedly, also helping out Drew. I heaved myself up and used a quick Dark Ball. No luck, Kuro put both his hands in front of him and a small explosion occurred. The Mewtwo hybrid's hands were singed. Well, at least I did some damage, if any.

That crushing psychic attack was a killer. He could control me and my actions at will. And I couldn't do a thing about it; no attack would help me no matter how hard I tried. Which p...ed me off more than ever. He used it once more and twisted my arm behind my back. If he tried hard enough he could snap it right off. Like hell, I'd kick his a..! Me without an arm is like a PBJ sandwich without the bread. Okay, really bad metaphor, but I hope I got my point across. Kuro would die if I lose my arm or any other limb for that matter.

"Stubborn as hell..." he muttered.

"You know it," I said, managing a grin to agitate him.

The hybrid motioned his fingers so that both hands were behind my back in a painful way. Then he made me kneel. Yeah, he's gonna die. "Bow you piece of sh..," he cursed.

I forced my head upward to look him in the eye. I hissed though gritted teeth. "Damn.you." He found that I had been able to move a bit surprising and shoved my body to the ground. Yeah, news flash. Kuro may be able to control my body but my mouth can never seem to stay shut. Or hadn't he noticed?

"Worthless," I muttered to him. "That's what you are."

Kuro wasn't fazed by it and I didn't expect him to be. He lifted me up once more with Psychic and threw me against the barrier. I fired a dark type attack when I had the chance. He caught it in his palm and I heard a small explosion. His hands were just barely scraped.

Some damage is better than none. I grew Umbreon ears, assuming Dark types were most effective against Psychic. He gave me a quick glare. I ran at him, not thinking. And when his hand touched my forehead, I suddenly felt like I was somewhere else. We were at a place where the wind blew strong. I glanced around. A building, we were at the very top of the Silph Co. building. Perfect. This way, if I fell off the edge, it's only like a one-hundred foot drop the ground.

Thanks for your consideration, Kuro. I sneered.

I gave him a swift kick in the gut when the chance came. The boy stared at me, just barely flinching. He sent me flying backwards and I hit my head on the ground. Kuro moved his hands in a repetitive pattern, left and right. The light of the sun vanished from the sky. I noticed dark clouds rolling in, I stared at Kuro. His eyes were glowing. "Stop it!" I hissed, throwing a Dark Pulse attack at him. But it didn't hit him because he shielded himself with a psychic barrier. Of course.

And it just HAD to start drizzling. His eyes turned to their normal dark color and he gave me a Swift attack. There were too many being hurled at me so I dodged all that I could. Until I became an Espeon pokemorph and countered with Swift. The smoke cleared faster than I'd expected because of the rain.

I saw Kuro panting, and a dark haired girl behind him. It seemed like she had hit him in the back with…something (hey, I'm not always absolutely sure). Her forehead was what intrigued me. It looked like she had some kind of crown on, with a crystal located in the center. Her stance indicated that she was prepared for a fight, her clothing completely black, similar to Savannah's.

I stared at her eyes as she glanced at me. Pure crystal freakin blue. And (can't believe I didn't notice this sooner) she had black drooping ears with a colorful stripe located on them as well as her…tail. She moved carefully over to my side, watching Kuro with an angry glare.

Then the seemingly seventeen-year-old girl stopped beside me. I leaned over and blinked. "Um, name please?"

She pointed to her arm, a black gem inset on a similar arm band that I had. So I figured that she was previously a Pokemon and I pretty much had a good idea of who she was. I smiled. "Nice to see you again Mom-" Then I remembered that she wasn't really my birth mom, and it only seemed to bother her slightly, but it made me ticked off because Kai couldn't take me to my real mother because he'd lost his memory.

I hurled an electric type attack him angrily (I think it's a Zap Cannon). "RESTOR MY BROTHER'S MEMORY!" I demanded.

I felt a bit of shock from the attack because of the 'water conducts electricity' rule, but not as much a Kuro did. It lit up the rooftop, forcing me to shield myself as well as Crystal. I opened my eyes; everything was crawling with sparks of electricity. And Kuro was just barely standing. I helped Crystal up, just noticing she'd been knocked down.

"You're okay, right?" I asked. She nodded. "I'm fine," she said, not even having to move her mouth. I stared in surprise; I'd never seen her use telepathy. Maybe she's a psychic type, I assumed.

Kuro came at us as fast as lightning, grabbing us by the neck and hanging us over the edge off a two hundred foot drop (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but that's a LONG way down). He stared at us both, making sure we couldn't struggle by using Psychic. "I think I'll make this a bit more interesting before I dispose of you."

In other words, we weren't going to die yet. He let go of our necks and we hovered in the air. He put his hand on our foreheads and I was hurled into a pit of endless black.

My eyes shot open and realized Crystal was no where to be found. Heck, I didn't know where the hell I was either. I stared at my pale human hands. They seemed almost…transparent.

I suddenly found myself staring at a dying forest. Damaged, burning, flooded, the sky was dark; there were traces of thunder on the singed trees.

And a little Eevee surrounded by it's evolved forms.

All were in battle stances, fighting two large Pokemon. This definitely looked like they were outmatched. But after coming up with a clever strategy, she was flung in the air and soon killed the seemingly powerful fire and electric type. The brown creature was surrounded by her kin. I noticed that the Espeon nudging her happily seemed slightly familiar. The Eevee slowly closed her eyes and didn't wake up. I stared at her with sympathy. The little Pokemon was dead.

I suddenly heard Dawn's frantic voice in my head. "Spirit! Don't watch this!"

"Why?" I questioned suspiciously.

"Because some things aren't intended for your eyes to see!!" She almost choked on her words which made me eager to see what was coming up even more

…and regret it.

Dead bodies that showed traces of a struggle belonged to the Eevee I'd seen earlier. Her family was completely and undeniably dead.

"All you family is dead, give up already, Dawn," a Mightyena sneered without hesitation. I stared unblinkingly. That explains why she was so pained before.

The Espeon's legs trembled; I could tell that her heart was just barely maintaining a beat. "I won't have to, once my daughter finds out what you've done-" She flinched, and collapsed.

"Not unless I rip you're heart our first." He lowered his body into a crouch. A grin appeared on his face and I realized that he was using Swagger. The purple creature immediately became confused, not knowing where anything was, but she staggered up anyway.

"Spirit, I'm begging you, don't watch this," she pleaded. I couldn't do it. "NOW!" she wailed. So I shut my eyes, and looked away.

And, somehow, Dawn told me at the exact same moment I was sure the Mightyena had killed her…because my ears were ringing with her cry. "Mother, mother!" the Eevee screamed, tears welling up in her eyes as she ran towards her cut up body. Right now it made me want to slash the person that said 'Pokemon can't cry'.

"I thought I'd never see you again," she said, her eyes barely open.

I stared; ashamed I couldn't have done anything to prevent her death. "Don't leave me, please don't leave me!" she begged.

The Dawn I saw in front of me was just barely managing a smile. "I'm so proud of you and all that you're done. I love you dearly Crystal."

I closed my eyes, ignoring the whimpers coming from the little Eevee. If that was Dawn, then Crystal must be-but, she isn't even an Eevee, she never told me that she wasn't thought. Come to think of it, she'd never told me much of her past at all.

"Crystal meant well," Dawn explained, "It was too horrific for a kit to take in."

WELL I'M NOT A KIT, I HARDLY EVER WAS! I thought angrily. She could have at LEAST told me recently!! Until I realized that she was speaking of Crystal. I opened my eyes to take my mind off the subject. And there was Crystal's current evolved form, standing in front of the Mightyena, his feet frozen to the ground with an ice type attack.

Crystal's never used any attacks, I've never seen her attack anything at all. She raised her claw. "Any last words?" she asked darkly.

I stared awestruck and in utter shock. Crystal was becoming the enemy here and she didn't even realize it.

"Crystal was blinded by hate and rage so much, that after she had killed Razor, she kept telling herself it was for the Pokemon but…" Dawn sighed. "She never truly forgave herself."

I shut my eyes so tight that tears formed. I heard blood splattering, and either ice breaking or bones cracking. When I finally managed to open one eye, Crystal was in her human form, kneeling on the ground.

I couldn't tell in the pouring rain, but I think, she was, crying. When she noticed I was standing there, she stared up at me. Her look was almost apologetic. I assumed that she'd seen the recap of her past too, or the recap of mine.

Her normal crystal blue eyes were misty with tears, and were now a deep stony blue. What she said surprised me. "You don't…need me any more, do you?"

The only response I could think of was arrogant and selfish. But that never stopped me from saying things before. So I spat it out. "No."

She didn't wipe her eyes. Just staring, and assuming what I was thinking. "You must think I'm a horrible creature," she said, knowing it was the truth. And part of me knew it too.

Which is what I hated the most about myself. "I probably would've done the same thing too," I admitted. "I've lived my whole life without knowing a thing, and I still had you. But you've got your mother as a guide. And I don't deserve that kind of help." I stared at my human hands in shame. I'm such a selfish idiot.

I think I saw Crystal's tears dry up in this rain. Her eyes were soft

…then in shock.

She didn't say a thing; didn't move, didn't breathe. I soon noticed Kuro in the background, with his hand in front of him, signaling that he'd thrown something at her back. An attack, or a weapon, that had frozen Crystal's entire body without the sign of a single icicle.

She toppled over and I rushed to her side. I stopped, and regained my senses. I gave Kuro an icy glare, not regretting the tears forming in my eyes. "Are you happy now?" I hissed bitterly.

Kuro lowered his hand and said nothing. I resisted the urge to get up and pummel him. "Damn you! Your only use is for murder. I hope my surrender makes you happy."

I got up and put my hands out, if he had any sense he'd put cuffs on them right away. But with his psychic attacks he wouldn't need to. "I'm done. I'll die in Crystal's place if that's my only option."

And for the first time, I saw his emotionless dark blue eyes soften. He motioned his hands in an upward like direction and something was being lifted out of Crystal's back. A needle. A small, black needle.

Crystal started breathing again and I prepared to die.

o-ooooo what?! I had to end it somewhere! –starts working on the next chapter-
