SPECIAL CHAPTER 2:
(CHAPTER 30)
Confessions...
After the adventure they all had, Steven, Roy, and Melanie settled down for some well-earned rest. But while Steven got to sleep quickly, the other two didn't have the foresaid luxury.

(Two hours later, 11:46 pm)
Melanie was tossing and turning in her sleep, unable to stop and find a comfortable position.
"Mmm... No-oh... Stop... Stay away... Get out of my body...!" she mumbled, a face full of angst. She was clearly dreaming with her eyes open or something of the sort... (I do that all the time, dreaming something before really sleeping, and then waking up with a jolt.)
"No... NO..."
..."NOO!" she cried out, bolting upright. Her red hair had beads of sweat dripping from it.
'What's happening to me...?' she thought. Roy turned over to see her.
"Melanie? What's the matter?"
"Uh... Nothing Roy..."
"C'mon, I know something's wrong... If anything like what happened to me did to you..." Roy said, mumbling the last bit.
"What happened?" Melanie asked, catching it.
"What?"
"Roy... Don't make me use 'the name'!" A sweat drop appeared on Melanie's head.
"NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"...Roy..." Melanie said with a giggle in her voice. She plopped her head back on her pillow, causing Roy to forget what she asked.
A few minutes later, Melanie heard the soft noise of Roy's snoring, so she took this opportunity to go outside and have some Mel time.
She slipped on her black shoes, and stepped outside. She knew it wasn't raining. To the edge of camp she walked, wearing what she slept in: a sapphire tank top. To her, it was a reminder of... what had happened...

Melanie opened her eyes very quickly, and got up quicker. Steven was a little bit scared when he saw her eyes were... blue.

"The inner demon I have been possessed by is... The Sapphire Soul. The soul of KYOGRE!" Melanie roared.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Melanie's eyes became turquoise and she fully became a large blue orca-like creature with a white underside, two fins, a red pattern on its back and bird-like back fins, a tail that split into two, and then two more. The four "fins" on each side were notched. Lastly, the fins Melanie smacked he snot out of the two Grunts with burst out of Melanie's arms!
- - - - -END FLASHBACK- - - - -
'I hope none of that happens again... Especially if Roy or anyone got hurt... I'd never forgive myself...' Melanie thought with tears streaming down her face...
"Melanie? What's the matter?" asked a familiar voice.
"Roy!" she said. She saw her friend standing a few feet away. He, like Melanie, had on a different shirt. Roy, instead of his regular cloak and shirt, had on a ruby t-shirt. It reminded him of what happened to him...
- - - - -FLASHBACK- - - - -
Roy suddenly became overtaken with rage and his eyes snapped open... Like Melanie. His eyes turned into a different color... Like Melanie. He began to mutate... Like Melanie. His eyes became red...
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Roy, a human, had transformed into a beast! It was a red dinosaur-like creature, having a head crest, white spines along its sides, a pointed tail like its head crest, and black markings on its hands and arms... The markings were like Melanie's.

"I'm finally free... again! I, the Ruby Soul shall see what has happened to my enemy, the Sapphire Soul – Kyogre!" Roy rumbled up the stairs as the legendary ground Pokemon: GROUDON!
- - - - -END FLASHBACK- - - - -
But Roy still didn't know what a Sapphire Soul-Kyogre thingy was!
"You were asleep!"
"I faked it. ...I saw you crying." he said as sympathetically as possible.
"Yeah..." Melanie sniffled.
"Mel... I suppose you still want to know about what happened to me?"
"I guess... If you don't want to say, you don't hafta."
"Well... I need to tell someone. Steven's too crazy and weird and wacky and has obvious mental problems, so..."
"I GET IT! Um, uh... Let's-let's go over to that bridge and we can talk." Melanie pointed to a wooden bridge, the one the Aqua Grunts had guarded only hours before.
"Okay."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"...WHOA!" Melanie yelled in shock as Roy got to all the cool demonic stuff, almost falling from her sitting position on the bridge.
"Yeah... So that's what happened."
"Roy, I... The same stuff happened to me!"
"IT DID?" Roy cried out.
"Yeah! Only I became Kyogre..."
"What all happened?"
"..."
- - - - -FLASHBACK- - - - -
(This is Melanie's Point of View. Sorry if you don't like POV.)
I remember like it happened yesterday... Oh, wait. It happened today!
I saw Roy get captured by Team Aqua, and I fell to my knees... If I didn't want Roy to get hurt, Steven couldn't assist... Suddenly, my eyes opened as if I had been pierced. They were a shining turquoise...
Later, after a few demonic words spat out, I walked up a stairway and came upon two Grunts. Instead of battling, some strange blue, red, and white fins burst from my arms, and I clobbered them a good bit.
After that, I battled Shelly, Team Aqua Cmdr., but "I" defeated two Pokemon of hers, and I mean I.

(All un-italicized stuff in this chapter is third person POV, except the previous flashbacks.)
"So how'd ya do that, Mel?" Roy asked.
"I'll tell you..."
- - - - -FLASHBACK- - - - -
I became a large blue orca-like creature with a white underside, two fins, a red pattern on its back and bird-like back fins, a tail that split into two, and then two more. The four "fins" on each side were notched. Lastly, the fins I smacked the snot out of the two Grunts with burst out of my arms!
Using a 1-hit KO called Sheer Cold, I defeated Shelly's Pokemon easily. After that, I knocked Archie from his status... And returned to normal...
- - - - -END FLASHBACK- - - - -
"So that's why I returned to normal! As the Groudon-thingy, I felt a strange feeling in my gut, and after twenty seconds of that, I normal-ized at the top of the stairs. All I remember saying was a whole bunch of Sapphire Soul and Ruby Soul junk!"
"Yeah... Um, Roy? I was the Sapphire Soul. Sapphire Soul – Kyogre."
"But then... I was the Ruby Soul – Groudon?"
"That is correct. But we were possessed I guess."
There was a pause. Roy suddenly felt something on his shoulder... It was Melanie!
"...M-Mel...?"
Her eyes opened. "I'm just resting a bit Roy. If you mind, I'll get off you."
"Oh, n-no, you don't hafta do that."
Melanie closed her eyes again, and Roy laid his head atop hers.
"Roy? Thanks for making me feel better..."
"Melanie... No problem."
Both wrapped on of their arms around the other... Both were very happy...
Until...
SPLASH!
Roy plummeted into the river!
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! OH THAT WAS PRICELESS HA-HA-HA-HA!" Melanie laughed as Roy spat water from his mouth in the river.
"NO IT WASN'T!" Roy shouted. He threw a small log up to where Melanie sat, which knocked her down.
"AAH!" she shrieked.
SPLASH!
"GYOF!" Roy cried out as Melanie landed... on him.
"Heh-heh... Looks like you'll hafta paddle me to shore, Roy."
"I don't think so!"
"That's it! Roy-boy, Roy-boy, Roy-boy..."
"NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! NO...! Gurgle... glug..." Roy yelled as he sank in a dramatic way...
The two kept on playing with each other for an hour or three...
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
After drying off a little bit, Roy and Melanie tried to get some sleep in their tent. But... They were a little bit... Cold.
"Ooh... Ch-chilly..." Roy moaned.
"Y-yeah..."
Roy, still shaking, grabbed his cloak and over shirt and wrapped Melanie in them.
"Roy, what about you?"
"I-I-I'll b-b-be fine."
'Yeah right.' Melanie thought. She wrapped her arms around Roy, as well as part of his cloak...
"Do not object. It will only result in serious injury."
"Fine. Be persistent."
Melanie giggled...
'Roy...'
PM: More romantic stuff! Whoop-de-do!
