Hello, it's been awhile and I thought that I should update this. It's even shorter than the first chapter, but this is just a quick flashback to the past.

Update: I read this over and I really didn't like that it was so short. So I redid the last part and added the preview.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.

He remembered just how angry he was at her. Blaziken or rather Adol at the time told them her plans for them and at the time no one considered the reasons for her decisions.

They were just so angry.

They continued being angry with her for the longest time. They refused to battle, compete in Pokemon contests, or even look at her in the eyes, Even though they were disobedient, she never once looked at the PC to change her team.

"How could she send us away?" Hiro asked.

"Humans were always disgusting creatures, we don't need her" Kyogre sneered, but the tips of his flaps twitched.

Hisano heard all of these lies and he had made some himself. They would come up with anything just to pretend they hated all those words, they never hated her. They were just hurt... but no one more than Adol the Blaziken. He could never hate her. The very thought of hating her never crossed his mind. She was his everything, but she was abandoning him.

Sometimes they wanted to battle as if to show the world, 'I don't need a trainer, especially mine'. They were sure that she got the message. Adol never did such a thing because he couldn't even face her. He stayed in his pokeball and if he did leave, all the pokemon were sure that he would grovel just to stay with her.

One day, it was raining horribly and Kyogre refused to leave its pokeball. So their trainer, Haruka had no choice, but to take a dingy ship back to Lilycove. She had hoped sailing lessons with the old man helped but...

The waves had overpowered the ship and split it in two.

"Hisano! Help!" She let him out of his pokeball and by instinct he saved her in an instant. She was in so much danger that his heart skipped a few beats. She was hanging on the edge of the ship and a huge wave was going to crash on her.

"I got you," he chirped and she clinged onto his feathers, nodding her head as if she understood. He flew them to the nearest patch of land he could find. It was small, but large enough for them.

She got off of him gently and said, "you're angry with me too aren't you?" Hisano nodded looking away from her direction. She sighed and sat down on the wet sand.

"Come here, Hisano. I should tell you why," she looked at him with forlonging and nostalgia. He stepped carefully to her and looked her in the eyes.

She smiled and wrapped him up in a dry blanket from her bag. "I'm giving you guys up because there's nothing more you can accomplish here."

He tilted his head in confusion. She took out two cases, one held their gym badges and the other held their contest ribbons. "Hisano, do you see anything different?"

Hisano shook his head. 'Why is she showing him these? They've seen them so many times.'

"Exactly, they haven't changed for months because there are no more to get." She placed them back into her bag.

"Do you think that I want to leave you with a stranger," her voice began to choke up. She couldn't let him see her cry… it wouldn't be right. Not with what she's doing.

"Anyway," she smiled wryly at him with tears threatening to spill. "You'll go on and have adventures… without me."

Hisano only walked closer to her. When he was by her side looking past her shoulders, he lifted up one of his wings as if to curtain her from the world. 'Haruka… I'm sorry'

She looked at him, but he didn't meet her gaze, only feeling it. Then she started to cry with all the horrible noises that came with the heavy tears. She started screaming.

No words, just screams and not once did the Swellow move.

After that, Hisano allowed her to use him in travel and battle, but would sit with the others during feeding time. He didn't say a word to any of the other pokemon. Time kept moving and soon enough they were off to Sinnoh. Haruka let him out of his pokeball to tell him something, but the only words he heard were 'Adol' and 'good-bye'. In the end, it was all about Adol. It left him bitter and decided to never tell him. He regrets it now and wished to turn back time to Sinnoh.

Sinnoh was a dark time for the Hoenn pokemon. Adol went into depression and slowly became mentally unstable. He would fade in and out during battle, making him horribly unpredictable. He would make campfires by himself out of habit and whenever their new trainer came, he would just return to his pokeball. When he was in double battle, he would have hallucinations of the past making everyone his enemy.

The trainer at the time thought that he was just confused even though the only move the opponent did was shock wave. He would attack Absol with flamethrower believing that he was with Haruka trying to capture Absol.

The worst was when attacked Aqui.

The battle lasted for days until Yami interfered. The Gardevoir made up its mind. He knew what he had to do and the other pokemon could only watch.

Hisano shuddered at the memory. The first time that they had to erase Adol's memory.

Yami binded Adol up with psychic energy and so began the process. Hisano remembered who was there… Absol, Sora, Aqui and him. Adol was shouting many things… many horrible things.

The one that they all remember was… 'what if we see her again?'

However even though those words slammed questions and hopes into their minds, Yami kept going. Soon the psychic energy began leaking into the Blaziken's mind, the look in Adol's eyes still haunt him to this day.

It was a look of pure disappointment and horror. He knew… he knew that one day they would take action, but he never expected this. His own family would destroy the only thing he had left in his heart.

Adol was fading and he could feel his own name wavering. It scared 'Adol' horribly and so he did the only thing he could do… burn. He unleashed the most powerful fire blast he would conjure from his chest.

Sora quickly flew and used protect in order to shield them, but they can still feel the raw heat of the fire.

This was the last of Adol and in his last moments...

No words, just fire and not once did they move.

Once it was all over, Adol was gone and Blaziken was born. He looked tired, but finally peaceful in his slumber. His mind was finally at rest, but the ssame can't be said for Yami.

The memory manipulation came with an awful price, Yami's sanity. The psychic Pokemon wasn't ready for the agony Adol had held. The psychic pokemon didn't want to destroy it and so he decided to keep it in his head, but it was just too much. The bond between Adol and their old trainer broke the Gardevoir's mind.

Hisano shook his head in remembrance of Yami.

When Yami finished the process, the insanity unleashed. He fell onto his knees and began clutching his head, "make them stop, the murmurs won't stop. please… no more!"

Absol ran straight to Yami's side, "Yami, what's wrong?"

The Gardevoir's hands moved to his heart and he choked out, "make them s-stop. I don't want to see anymore!" He started crying, "- Help me, please. Arceus, maker, anyone!"

"Yami… Yami! We're right here!" Hisano landed down to look his distressed friend in the eyes, but flew right back when their gaze met slightly. The look of pure agony in those bloodshot eyes were frightening

"Bird, get back," Aqui ordered.

Yami's head threw back and he kept screaming, "SHE LEFT! WHY? WHY? AHHHHH HELP! COME BACK!" He laid eyes on Sora and immediately trapped the Pokemon in its telekinesis.

"It was your fault... wasn't it. You fat excuse of a bird pokemon. Y-You didn't fly fast enough to Littleroot and now ALL OF US HAVE TO SUFFER!" He grabbed the bird's head with his hands.

"Y-Yami! PLEase... sToP..." Yami broke the bird's mind and there the old bird laid, unconscious with a dead man's stare.

"Everyone leave! Hisano take Adol! Aqui try to wake up Sora!" Absol shouted. Hisano quickly grabbed the unconscious Adol and flew fast away from the broken pokemon.

"NO IT'S ALL YOUR FAULTS, aaaAAHHHHHHH," the psychic power was slowly taking the physical form of spikes. All Hisano saw from his retreating distance was the clashes of purple and black beams.

"I HATE YOU," he remembered hearing in the distance, then something came over him. He just started falling into the ocean and then nothing.

Hisano tried to remember more, but it kept becoming fuzzy. He didn't know what truly happened during that day... none of them knew except for Absol. Afterwards, Sora was in a coma for weeks and when he came to, he was a completely new person. He was a jolly old pokemon and didn't remember anything about the event. Yami and Absol were missing for months, but came back right before their transfer to Johto. Yami was much calmer and Absol was the same, but there was something off about them now. The only one who stayed with him from the event was Aqui and they took care of Blaziken the best they could without him getting suspicious.

All he knew was that if he could turn back time… he still wouldn't know what to do. "Adol what would you have done?"

"Daddy, who are you talking to?" A little Taillow chirped and walked next to his dad in the heavy rain storm.

"Didn't I tell you to go back to the nest," he smiled wryly at his son and used one of his wings to cover his son. "Don't get your feathers wet. You won't be able to fly."

"Dad, who were you talking to?" The little Taillow pressed on with his previous question.

"No one."

"But you said a name, Adol? Who was it dad?"

"Adol was an old friend, but he's gone now." Hisano's smile wavered slightly and a slight heaviness lingered in his heart just for a bit longer.

"Duh dad, I can't see him. Adol is just like mom right? We'll just wait for them to come back! You told me that mom will be back so Adol will be back too" The little bird puffed his chest with the most innocent grin on his face.

Hisano could only pat his son's head, "...".


Preview for next chapter:

Akari the Delphox sneered at the old Blaziken's self pity.

"Get up old man! My trainer does not have time for you to wither away from your own self pity." She waved her stick at him.

"I didn't say anything."

"I'm a psychic pokemon," she crossed her arms, hating how her fur would rub against each other.

"Of course, you pokemon always know what's going on." He glared back.

"What is that suppose to mean."

"You know you can't be trusted!" Akari's stick began to burn a crimson red at those words.

"Enough of your goddamn ignorant garbage. Let's fight old man, if I win, you shut your yap for the rest of the trip!"

"What do I get if I win," he stood up from his seat and readied himself.

"I'll tell you a secret..." Her eyes turned solemn for a moment then back to burning with anger and determination.

He looked at her strangely, "fine, don't think I'll go easy on you, youngster." He said mockingly.
