Chapter 10- In the End of the Lion
Leo saw Ash running in the distance. He then turned his attention to the sky. A light drizzle was falling, from the dark grey clouds, and had mixed together with the smell of ash.
It
starts with
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even
matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this
rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
-"What do you want!"- He roared. The giant didn't bother to use his psychic powers.
Time
is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch
it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's
so unreal
The image of his former master in the clouds moved as if it was laughing. Then a second later Leo heard the laughing sound, like hearing thunder after seeing the lightning.
It was a sound that he had not heard in a millennia; he had hoped never to hear that sound again.
Didn't
look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to
hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch
you go
"I locked you here to rot for all eternity, and yet your foolish sense of pride still shows through."The voice of his master blasted down to earth.
I
kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell
apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a
time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It
doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the
end
It doesn't even matter
-"You are supposed to be sealed for the rest of time; we sealed you to stop your destruction, and madness."- His voice boomed into the sky.
One
thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you
try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself
how
I tried so hard
Leo then formed a glowing ball of fire within his hand, and threw it into the sky. It exploded into the cloud, as a result the cloud had a small crater within it but quickly healed itself.
In
spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of
your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm
surprised it got so (far)
The cloud that was the image of Leo's former master, laughed, a sinister laugh, and let lightning loose from within its essence. The lightning crashed into the ground, lighting the trees ablaze, Craters were formed in the ground, the walls of the canyon also suffered several hits whish destroyed several mouths of the caves located there.
The lion was hit with the worst of it, as the after effects of the lightning, scorched his golden fur, conducting with the water that drizzled from the heavens.
Things
aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me
anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to
me
In the end
"You are pathetic, I should put you out of your misery right now; and stop you from disgracing me anymore!" The voice once again boomed from the sky.
You
kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell
apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a
time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It
doesn't even matter
-"NO! I serve you no longer, I might be imprisoned in here, but I am freer now than when I served you!"- The lion like being then put his two hands on top of its head.
Between the scorched paws a bright ball of energy gained in power.
A large beam of blue lightning then fired its way into the sky.
I
had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even
matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For
all this
There's only one thing you should know
The lightning was only absorbed by the image of Leo's master, which was embedded within the clouds.
I've
put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all
this
There's only one thing you should know
A large cackle was once again heard from the sky, "This is what you get for your treachery. In the End no matter how hard you may try, you will fall."
I
tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't
even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It
doesn't even matter
Leo saw his fate, as he looked upwards to the last image he will ever see. From behind the image of his former master, meteors plummeted.
The clouds had dissipated in their wake.
The explosions shook the earth.
In between explosions, the image of Leo could be seen by the Pokémon hiding in the caves. He was slashing the small meteorites coming into him, as he roared a roar that echoed throughout the entire Hoenn region.
When the smoke cleared all that could be seen in the post-apocalyptic landscape, in between craters, a dead Lion like creature lay. His fur had been completely burned off, his body had deep gashes.
He was breathing heavily, having survived the multiple assaults. He spoke his last words, the legend that his master had taught him , the legend that his master had feared with every atom of his existence.
-"When the sun shall fall.
Chaos will be born
Ragnarök will arise.
And the legends shall be in war
Only he who is guardian of the sun can rise.
And strike down the beast.
Giving a second chance
To the legends that he meets
Ash, you are our only hope."- His eyes then closed for the final time. He was now free from the eternal oppression of his master.

Ash ran through the forest that was quickly lighting up, despite the light rain that was pouring, the fire did not slow down. The sound of booming could be heard in the background.
The boy kept on running, on one side Pikachu ran alongside its trainer. On the other side the dragon also ran, not totally oblivious to the danger that it was in.
The smell of ash begun to take control of the air.
The rain kept on drizzling.
They continued running.
The seventeen year old looked back momentarily, and saw the blazing inferno catching up. He then turned his attention back to dodging the branches that were getting more and more, dense.
The smell of ash had become strong, and smoke could be seen.
The rain was now slowing down from the thicker leaves stopped their decent.
They continued running.
More explosions and lights could be seen and heard by the trainer, but he did not turn back.
Ash then caught sight of a familiar landmark.

"What do you want?" Serena cried as she attempted to plead for her life.
The people encircling her gave no sign of emotion in their faces. No remorse, no sorrow, no pity, no mercy.
"They want you." Serena then turned to the Alakazam, who had spoken. "Do you know how old these people are, little one?" Serena just stood looking at the one who was about to take her life. They are 563 years old to this day. They use me to gain the energy of a child when he or she reaches a certain age; I take their light and give it to the lights of the many. Now it is your turn to give to the community little one."
The people still showed no sign of any remorse for the life that they were about to feed off.
Thunder boomed in the distance, a boom that would make a whole city turn their heads. The clouds flashed bright lights. Smoke could be seen from behind the wooden gates. No one noticed. All stood still frozen in time. Serena stood opposite her executioner. She decided that if she was going to go, at least her Pokémon would have a chance to live on.
"Take me, just let my Pokémon go." The girl gave her last plea, to the psychic type, and it nodded in response. Serena released her three Pokémon who took up a defensive position around their trainer, sensing there danger aimed at her. "Run guys, while you still can." She said in a calm voice. They turned to her with questioning faces. "I have failed you as a trainer; run maybe one day you will find a better trainer than me." Tears were forming in her eyes, as she had no other choice inside of her now.
"Tortle" Wartortle then stood in a defensive position around its trainer once more. Gallade and Ninetails then followed the water type, showing that they would stand against any shadow that their opponents would throw against them.
"Pathetic" the Alakazam muttered. The four were sent flying into the wall of a house by a powerful psychic attack.
Serena ordered her Pokémon to attack, but all of the attacks were stopped by the Alkazam's psychic even that of the Ninetails. Alakazam looked at the four lying on the floor, and extended its arms.
Serena was enveloped within a bright white aura, and began to levitate helplessly. Here Pokémon looked on helplessly, as their trainer began to float.
Ninetails then stood up and threw Alakazam back a few feet with its power.
"Ahh, so a fire type has learnt to harness the power of the mind." The psychic type said as it got itself up. A grin then formed upon its face the villagers stood a few paces.
"Nine tails use psychic!" Serena shouted, and then Ninetails surrounded its opponent within a red field. It still smiled as it effortlessly walked out of Ninetails attack. The Alakazam launched its own psychic attack, throwing the girls three Pokémon back a few feet. She looked back towards her Pokémon, and then turned to her executioner as it chuckled.
The Pokémon put its hands in front of its face as Serena once again began to be lifted up into the air. A bright white aura linked the two.
The white haired girl felt herself loose all feeling within her body. She was nothing but a viewer as the years of her life would be taken away.
"I give"
The psychic type began to speak its chant.
"This light,"
Lights could be seen from the background, a large roar that shook the world and enormous explosions, that could shake a continent. But no one noticed.
"To give"
The villagers then prepared themselves for what was about to happen.
"To the lights"
Serena's three Pokémon looked on seeing as they had failed there master, there friend.
All hope was lost for the girl, the 9 year old girl. The girl that a champion saw so much potential in. The girl that had faced more trauma than anyone else should face.
"Of the m"
Serena was then released from her imprisonment as she fell to the ground, unable to move her body, due to the strain of being trapped within the Pokémon's ritual. She could still see tough.
The psychic type was on his side due to the after effects of an explosion. The onlookers looked helplessly as their lifeline got up slowly, after being hit by an obviously powerful attack.
Serena then began to have some feeling back in her body. Her Pokémon took up positions around their master once more. Serena looked to the direction that the blast originated from.
She saw the figure of a person, standing on a hill. The clouds had cleared, and the sun shone onto his back, shadowing his face. A large plume of smoke could be seen towards his right as the gates had burned to ashes; from the intense battle that had just taken place in the distance. He ran in front of her and checked to see if she was still breathing. Besides him a small electric mouse ran towards her friend and on his other side, a small black and red dragon ran up, intrigued by the girl.
"Serena, are you alright?" he asked as he lifted her body up.
"Ash" she had managed to utter. The girl had more feeling within her body, but was unable to throw words out of her mouth yet. Gallade grabbed the white haired girl, as the angry trainer turned around to the psychic type which was standing, and had a very pissed off look on his face.
"How dare you!" the stage two shouted out, toward the trainer.
"How dare I? You were the one killing here." Ash mocked. "Zenith are you up for another battle?" the trainer asked his unofficial Pokémon, who quickly jumped ready for another battle, still remembering its battle with the Areodactyl.
"You send a child to battle? Even that rodent would have been a better choice." The Alakazam mocked.
Ash sighed as he decided to let the black dragon use one of its new moves, courtesy of Leo's tutoring. "Use your Chaos blades!" Zenith then began to flap its wings which still could not allow it to fly, and from them several black crescents flew out dispersing randomly into the air as they flew faster than an Arial ace, Randomly in the air. Then immediately they all aimed for the stationary psychic type, creating a large explosion. When the dust cleared, it could be seen on the floor, barely able to get up.
When it managed to get up it was angrier than ever, at the young legendary. It then launched a psy-beam, which the dragon dodged, using its wings for speed and balance.
"Now, use your chaos surge, the trainer commanded." (Once again courtesy of the deceased Lion like being) the chaos Pokémon then let several black lights (I think they are lights, but resemble Manaphys hart swap except are black) They swarmed around randomly then launched themselves into the earth. From where the lights landed it seemed as if the ground was turning pitch black. As it spread, to underneath the whole battlefield. A black hand then stretched itself from underneath the ground that the Psychic type was standing upon. It gripped onto him then held him a few feet above the ground.
"You kill me, you kill them all!" it screamed. The villagers were now pleading for their lives. As their lifeline was held in the hands of the trainer, Ash hesitated to give a command.
"Do it!" Serena screamed, finding her voice.
Zenith complied, not knowing better, as the Black Hand and the stain on the land then vanished. The Alakzam dropped to the ground. Its body then blew away as if it was dust. The villagers, flesh and skin vanished in a instant, leaving their skeletons to drop onto the floor.
The village turned into a mass grave.
"You alright" Ash whispered to Serena.
"Yeah; Listen I had to if we didn't they would just carri" she was stopped by Ash putting a finger to her lips.
"Whatever the reason was I know it was a good one, I know that you would not do that intentionally, unless you were protecting others who may have fallen victim." The white haired girl nodded, and recalled her Pokémon, confident in using them once more.
At seeing Serena recall her three Pokémon, Zenith whished for the same, and touched the button of Ash's empty Pokéball with its claw. It opened and pulled him in. It didn't even have to wobble, but then a strong black aura surrounded the black and white ball, when it went away the ball was completely black except for two crimson rings on the top and bottom of the ball.
The three looked at the Pokéball in confusion. Then set off back to their journey, at the ever-grand champion ships. They took the route along the river behind the deserted town, as it was the most obvious. "So what happened, Serena asked as they walked, and just before she was going to get an answer, they could see blood running down the river. As red as Zeniths blunt horns.
Weather it was the blood of the Pokémon in the caves, or Leos blood, or even the blood of the thousands that were murdered by the Alakazam and the village, they did not know.
----
That was the darkest chapter that I have ever written.
F.Y.I.
- I couldn't let Serena die, a horrible death. The villagers on the other hand had lived for 500 or something years, feeding of the life of the very young.
-Ragnarök Stands for fate of the gods, check Wikipedia. Here gods mean the legendaries, seeing as they are like the best of the best in the Pokémon world.
-Zenith is a legendary Pokémon in itself; it is very powerful and has several attacks that are exclusive for it. Leo tutored the little dragon some of them: Chaos Blades is like a multiple razor wind that is able to lock onto its target. Chaos surge: Gives Zenith the ability to manipulate the structure of any surface.
- The Evergarnd championships will be in the next chapter and guess who will be there: Max, and who else will be with him? May, and you know what that means? Yes they will find out who each other is, and the shipping will get more serious.
-This little story Arc was here for two purposes. 1 To introduce the main storyline, and Zenith. 2 To get deeper into Serena's character. I don't want her to be some second rate character that everyone will forget about.
-No decision has come with who I should pair Max with. I might leave no pairing with him.
Power corrupts
And now I vanish...
