Chapter 7: Akata the 3rd Hero

"Hi um … ok ..." Chipper said as they walked by. M.P. glared at them, "Yeesh, fine ignore us, cool guys" he thought. "We don't need you."

Chipper, in his uncontrollable self stalked them. Shadow and Blade walked on ignoring him until it became irritating and Blade turned around and shoved him. The gang had not known he was there following them and turned around to see who was yelping.
"Whoa!" Daisuke exclaimed, "You back off of Chipper!"
"Come on you two, what's the big deal of picking on a little Pokemon?" Yamikarasu said lazily, he was still half asleep.
"Bulba? Bulba?!!?!?" The Bulbasaur was frightened and ran behind Akata. Daisuke went over to use Protect, but too his surprise, the Bulbasaur was actually using the move Safeguard for his own protection.
"Take this!" Kazuya started Brick Break, but was cut off by Shirushi, who told him about Chipper being hurt.
"Hey... you know you seem pretty cool and stuff because you're a Scizor and a Gallade!" Chipper exclaimed frantically, ignoring the peril he was in.
"Hey, take him back!" Shouted Shadow and Blade threw him back to the gang. The Bulbasaur ran over and started to lick Chipper's wounds.
"Wow, th-thanks little guy!!!!" He hollered joyfully, and began running around with the Bulbasaur.
"Sorry, but you were getting on my nerves" Blade apologized.

"So want to come with us, you are like the strongest Pokemon we've ever seen" Asked Chipper. Blade and Shadow looked at each other and nodded. Blade and Shadow then wandered far from the group

"Hm ... I sense it...the Magno Metal is...somewhere nearby...but...where..."Blade thought and looked around seeming tense.
"Blade don't worry about that yet or HE might find out where we are... and we can't risk him getting this Gem ... "Shadow said to Blade.
"Right ... if he gets this he'll reach a whole new level of power..."Blade responded and then turned to look at the others.
"So ... this little Bulbasaur doesn't have a name yet? hm... well I got nothing" Blade tried coming up with a name but the thought of HIM was still bugging him. He walked to a far distant. They had to keep the Gem of Darkness safe or if HE got it he could take over the world. Blade shook his head and remembered his past.

Flash Back: 1 year ago. He met Shadow at the Pokemon Grand Brawl Tournament. Shadow and him fought for the grand prize. He had fought hard. Blade needed the prize but it turns out it was not what he was expecting. In the end after a gruelling battle Shadow nearly died from falling off the edge to a 300 ft fall when Blade had saved him despite his torn wing. Blade had passed out and ended up in the Pokemon Hospital. The next day he woke up and he and Shadow were taken back to the tournament stadium ring's secret passage and there they were given the duty of guarding the Gem of Darkness for HE had attacked the shrine of the Gem of Darkness to get the power in it. Shadow knew this would happen. He saw the future just from touching the Gem of Darkness one time he knew what would happen but the Gem was overbearing and that memory of the future was faded though at times he could predict what would happen if something happened. From that day on Blade and Shadow became allies. At first they hated each other but the duty they were given kept them from killing each other. Eventually after months had passed Shadow and Blade became great friends. Shadow was quite strong. Despite his level he had learned how to use Psycho Cut though not perfectly only when it really counted. It was a move his father taught him when he was young. Blade was strong to begin with. His father was a very powerful Scizor, but he knew he could get stronger if he found the Magno metal. There was an ascension beyond the evolution from Scyther to scizor. Only one other Scyther had ever made it to that form but he was far to strong and he abused the power he had. He was never seen again once the Scizor and Scyther took him down. Some say he devolved and the Magno metal was sent far away to the darkest part of the earth, others say he died and the power of the Magno metal was lost forever. No one knew the truth and all continued searching for the legendary Magno metal.
"Hey Blade you alright?" Shadow asked.
"Huh?what?oh uh yeah I'm alright" Blade said still dazed
"We'll find it don't worry ... we'll need that power to take HIM down ..."Shadow said.
"Heh yeah we'll do it... I've made this far no way I'm going to stop now besides I've got the strongest person I know backing me up" Blade laughed a bit then turned his head and looked at the others." We have to keep them safe too ... with that Gem with us they're in a lot of danger as well."
"But we can't tell them. Besides the Cubone looks a lot like the one i saw on the day i saw the future. The one i saw was very strong, he took down a horde of those Pokemon with his perish song... besides that he looks tough to start with... he might be the 3rd guardian. I think his name is... Akata?" Shadow said and started thinking. "Well let's get back to them and figure out a name for that little guy"
"Right, hmm... how about ... Takun?" Blade shrugged because it was his childhood nickname Rose gave him just to tick him off.
"Didn't that name tick you off? You always complained about it" Shadow said
"Yeah it did but hey he's a new born... I'm pretty sure anyway ..."Blade looked at the Bulbasaur "Hey uh Shadow ... when do you think Akata will evolve?"
"Well usually Cubone don't evolve for a while...considering his power his level is close to his evolution" Shadow responded.
"Hmm ... maybe if we tag team battle him he'll evolve..."Blade thought.
