AN: Hello guys I'm back again. This one's longer, and I wrote it on my return flight on holiday, with TopazSunshine (my sis) sitting next to me, and I was kinda tired, so I don't know if you guys will like it, but feel free to point out any flaws you see. I've already edited and I think got almost all grammer mistakes out, so enjoy. :D


Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. At All. No way. Nothing. Zit. Except for my games. Those are mine. :D


Normal POV

"Grievus..."

The man smirked, before jumping down, causing another cloud of dust to add to the suspense. After the dust cleared, the man stood up from his crouching position before pointing an accusing finger at Red.

"This was entirely you fault. The tremor, the girl and the Pokémon." the man said,

Red took a step forward, replying "You have no right to restrict a Pokémon or a human's freedom! And besides, how was the tremor my fault?"

The Man's eye twitched. "You DARE to question my authority?" the man said sternly, his rage building. His hand reached for his belt and took out an Ultra Ball before throwing it on the ground. A burst of pale yellow light erupted from the black and yellow sphere, before taking the shape of a creature standing on two legs. It had a brown head, and its body was a crimson red with yellowish-orange stripes. Its hands took the shape of a mole's, and around its wrists were brown, wristband-like weapons. There were 6 holes on each cuff, and their uses were displayed as small, accidental flares of fire jetted out from the holes. From its small mouth slithered out a flaming tongue, menacingly flicking in and out.

"Fire punch" the man said. The Heatmor obediently complied as flames streamed out from the holes of its wristbands. The flames engulfed Heatmor's entire claw, but took no notice to it as it charged forward, its claw connecting with Vee, knocking her clean off her feet.

Red, upon seeing this, commanded Vee to set up Reflect and Light screen, so as to reduce the damage taken. However, Grievus simply sent out another Pokémon to counter Red's strategy. Another flash of light followed, taking the shape of a Heracross. Its blue horn glowed a piercing white. It jumped up, before crashing down, and aimed it's horn at Espeon. Even though it did minimal damage due to type comparison, the two layers of protection had been utterly destroyed from the strong Brick Break.

Red was in a fix. Vee was often used as the protector of his team, or would stand back and charge up with multiple Calm Minds before charging into the battlefield. It was a big mistake to leave his other two partners behind, the teen thought as he saw his friend slowly weakening from the 2 vs. 1 disadvantage. He charged forward with his sword, preparing for a strike. However, a black energy ball rushed at him from his side, and Red had no time to react as it smashed into his gut. Red's eyes widened from both shock and pain. The force smashed him into a nearby boulder, cracking it in the process. Red was not as badly hurt as he thought as he would be, as Vee had set up a Light Screen just before the energy ball was fired. However, it still knocked the wind out of his lungs, and he could feel a big bruise forming around his side. He struggled to get up, only to see another projectile speeding towards him. Seeing that his partner was also struggling in her own battle, he lifted up his sword high, before slamming it down hard with precision and strength, crushing the iron sphere into powder. Red coughed up blood, for he had used up too much energy. He fell to his knees, taking a final glimpse of Grievus putting away a large, pistol-like weapon, before everything went black.

Girl's POV

I stared in fright as I saw my saviour being knocked off his feet. His firm grip around his blade's handle loosened, his blade fleeing from its master, like a caged Pidgey escaping from its prison. My knees wobbled as Grievus put away his weapon, before taking threatening steps towards me. However, my focus was directed back to the boy, who was now lying on the ground. His clothes were torn and tattered, and his eyes looked exhausted, their irises turning a pale pink, as if being in a trance. All of a sudden, he coughed violently, blotches of blood lunging from his mouth and landing onto the floor.

Blood.

I clutched my head in pain and fright as I reminisced a vision in my head. Mother...Father...Electross…..

...

Normal POV

The lass clutched her head in agony as her pupils turned dull and slumped to the earthen ground.

It was now up to the Pokémon.

Vee was struggling with her two opponents. Her foes hit hard, but made sure she was still alive, as if toying with her. Was this the end?

Despite the struggles, Vee's telepathic abilities picked up something. The ground was shaking. Very faintly, but as a telepathic creature, she could sense it.

Magnitude, level 1.

Now it was level 2.

3?

4?

The levels rose at a quick pace. It was already at level 7.

"Get out of there."

A voice called out to Vee. It was soft, as low as a whisper, but her tall ears pricked up at the warning. She looked to her right to see a line of Geodude a distance away. They thudded the ground one by one in sequence. Vee bounced onto higher ground just when the Magnitude reached its peak.

Heatmor, being a fire type, was thrown off balance, and landed on the floor hard, knocked out.

Heracross on the other hand was well due to type comparison. It slowly approached Vee, but in mid-step, paused. Its eyes bulged, and a wisp of smoke emitted from its back, before it collapsed onto the ground.

Behind it sat a small yellow mouse, its cheek pouches still pulsing with electricity from its Thunderbolt. A menacing chuckle was heard, causing the Pokémon to turn around.

Grievus was looming over the girl, his hand reaching towards her. The creatures tried their best to stop him, but even they could see that the distance was too far.

A few inches away from the girl, Grievus was tackled by a fast moving boulder. Looking up, Grievus saw Red's rival looking down on him. The Graveller clenched its four fists, ready to deliver a beating down onto the tormentor.

Just when it seemed that the Pokémon had gotten the upper hand, none had foreseen that they would have to face yet another enemy.

Graveller was knocked off Grievus' body by an unknown force. It was physical, the boulder creature thought as he slowly got up to face another opponent. However, he opened his eyes to see a large cross inches away from his face. It was made of cold hard iron, and it gave of a dark vibe, as if the symbol of death itself. By its sides positioned were piercing, unforgiving red eyes that locked onto Graveller. Not a word was uttered by the metallic beast as he lifted a strong blue arm, three prongs trained on him.

As Graveller braced itself for the worst, the Metagross' arm came down onto the dry earth, rather than the Graveller itself. Grievus slowly climbed onto the blue gargantuan, clutching his side from the previous attack. The Metagross seemed amused at the cowering Pokémon, but obeyed it's master's orders. Its 4 limbs levitated above the ground, before turning upwards such that the Metagross looked flat, despite its colossal size. As Grievus stood on the beast's body, completely unfazed, Metagross lifted off the ground and retreated.

As the enemy became a little dot in the sky, Graveller finally turned away, only to witness the destruction of his home. The ground was covered in deep cracks that killed the familiarity of it all. Blotches of blood were left here and there, but led a trail to a young teen's beaten body. Next to him was his companion, he assumed, curled up, her eyes glazed over. She was suffering from mental wounds, but was physically fine. The remaining Pokémon finally scurried over, beaten and injured, but still worried for their owners' wellbeing. The purple feline rushed towards her owner's body, throwing poise and posture to the wind. She licked his face, hoping for him to wake up, but only managed to make him stir in pain.

The yellow mouse ran up to her saviour, staring into her dull eyes. The Pikachu couldn't take the suspense any longer. It climbed onto the lady's shoulders, before exerting a small electric shock. The girl's eyes fluttered back into life, and she made a small jump from the sudden jolt that flowed through her body. She looked around and after surveying the scene, her expression darkened, but what left her most terrified was her hero writhing in pain on the ground.

She got up and went to his side, her yellow companion still on her shoulder. As she got closer, she noticed the gruesome details on him. Dried blood stained the sides of his mouth. His clothes had been torn and were stained with patches of blood. But what worried her was his stomach. The damage seemed the worst at that area, as she recalled Grievus' attack.

The memory of her parents attempted to seep back into her mind, but she firmly shut it away. She wasn't going to let another person she cared for go. Gently, she removed his leather vest, and lifted his stained shirt. A large, pulsing bruise was seen near his gut. The girl winced at the sight of it. Carefully, she laid a hand on the wound. The boy, although unconscious, groaned, but held still to allow the girl to treat him.

The girl's hand radiated a green aura. The light seemed to seep into the boy's body, from the wound, making its way up to the chest and finally to the heart. The wound gradually faded, but a smaller brown bruise stubbornly remained.

The girl sighed. She was drained from using her powers, but was determined to help her saviour to the best of her ability. It was the least she could do.

Some of the Pokémon whom she had saved helped out the best that they could as thanks. Geodude carried the boy to a cave as it was getting dark. Pidgey and Rattatta brought back Oran, Sitrus and Pecha berries that were grinded into medicinal paste by Graveller. A Caterpie crawled next to the girl and provided string-shot bandages. A Magby had started a fire to keep the duo warm.

Once all the preparation was done, the Pokémon slowly left to return to their homes, one by one. Only a few devoted ones remained: Pikachu, Vee, Graveller, Caterpie and Rattatta. Caterpie, Pikachu and Rattatta befriended the girl, and she had decided to nickname them Kitty, Chuchu and Ratty respectively.

Hours passed and the Pokémon fell asleep. Kitty, Ratty and Chuchu had fallen soundly asleep and were piled over one another. Vee had found the fireplace a good spot to take a nap and keep an eye on the duo, but in the end, she too fell asleep. Graveller kept the feline company, eyes closed. The girl was not sure if he was asleep, but didn't pay too much attention to it.

She continued staying up, going against her exahustion while still trying to heal the boy. She had laid him on her lap. Her left hand supported his back, while she rubbed the berry paste over the wound over and over again. After that, she took an extra sheet of bandages Kitty had left by her side and wrapped it around the wound. She had to lean in close towards him as she struggled with one hand. Her face reddened as she saw the position they were in, but immediately scolded herself in her mind for thinking of that.

She had been worried that he would have woken up while she was treating him, but she had been lucky so far.

'If he hadn't woken up then, what makes you think he would now?' she reasoned with herself.

As if Arceus himself wanted to prove her wrong, his ruby red eyes opened to stare at her hazel ones. The girl's face turned beetroot red. Red seemed oblivious to it, however.

He tried to sit upright, but cringed at the pain. The girl soothed him back down.

As she continued to wrap the bandages, Red decided to start a conversation.

"So…" he started off dumbly, twiddling his thumbs. "You haven't told me your name yet."

She looked at him, unsure if she should tell him. But for some reason, he felt safe around the mysterious boy. Rather, she would call him by his name, Red.

"Amarillo. Amarillo Del Bosque Verde…" she managed to stutter out.

"Hmm…" Red rubbed his chin in thought. "That's a little long." He looked into her eyes. "How bout I call you Yellow."

"Yellow…." The name had a ring to it.

And for the first time that day, she smiled.


Unknown to the two, Graveller and Vee had seen what happened. Graveller was smirking, while Vee gave Red an amused look.


AN: So there you have it. I did a more thorough check this time. Also, I'd like to thank Breadstarz, Ninjatrollz (interesting name) and of course TopazSunshine for reviewing. You guys are just awesome. I just wanna give you guys like hugs and chocolates in the shape of Pikachu and all that. You make me feel happy. Which is good. In case you didn't know. Just throwing that out there. :D

I do feel the ending was kinda sloppy, though, but oh well. :P

Lookout for the next chapter which might take a little longer, since I didn't prepare, and its only at the beginning for now. Keep reviewing and be happy. (...well that was just corny :P)
