Alright people it's time for chapter 2! It's going to be a major ride from here on out, (or at least I hope!) Anyway please enjoy the chapter :)

Note: Some of the settings are entirely fictional and I've created myself. I own all OC. Pokemon doesn't belong to me! And thoughts are in itallics.

Chapter 2: Burning Passion

Lune arrived at the small and cozy home of Alex Hayes after taking his short stroll through the nearby forest. It was a simple little cottage that his trainer lived in along with her grandmother. He could smell the sweet and spicy blend of Pokemon food that Alex was preparing for him. He always loved the way his trainer took the time to make his meals different each night and absolutely delicious.

He strolled inside through the flap on the bottom of the door and was instantly greeted with a warm and sweet smell. Alex was standing in the kitchen stirring something into Lune's food bowl. Jade was happily chewing her meal already and Alex's Pikachu named Bolt was sitting next to his sister while chomping through his food in a rough manner.

A warm fire was crackling in a stone fireplace and a plush decorated rug covered the hearth. It was a simple little house, but it was sustainable for Alex, her grandmother and their Pokemon.

Alex set Lune's bowl on the ground and he eagerly dug into his food, savoring every flavor that dissolved into his taste buds. The teen smiled at her satisfied Pokemon and went to sit at with her grandmother Lucy who was eating at the dining room table. Lucy's Furret who was named Daisy had curled up underneath her trainer's chair since she'd eaten before Alex and the others had gotten home.

Lucy and Alex made idle chatter at the table while the Pokemon ate until their bellies were full. After awhile Bolt sighed "Ah! I'm so full! There ain't nothin' like good home-cooked food prepared by Alex. She really knows how to make a meal!"

Jade licked her lips and giggled, "Bolt you would eat anything that would possibly be considered food. It wouldn't matter if it were a five star meal or garbage."

The Pikachu looked a bit shocked and stated, "No way! I have so much more taste than that! C'mon Jade you're killin' me here!" Lune yawned at the two's usually friendly fight of a conversation and then said, "Bolt give it a rest. You know she's right. You just always hate to be proven wrong because your ego is swollen like a blown up Jigglypuff."

Bolt then gave a mischievous glare towards his friend and said, "You askin' for a fight?" Lune snickered and glared back, "You know me so well." The two Pokemon then suddenly jumped up and sprinted out of the flap on the door laughing wildly as Jade to sighed and shook her head at how childish the two were behaving. The little kit then walked calmly out of the flap after he brother and his best friend. Lucy chuckled, having just watched all of that unfold and said, "My, your Pokemon are so lively Alex. They always seem to be causing so much mischief. I hope they aren't too much to handle."

The young teen giggled and said, "Oh no. They are never any trouble. They behave so well and never fight with one another. I'm glad they take after me." Suddenly a loud explosion came from in front of the house and Alex winced at the noise then left her seat and hurried to the door. Her grandmother followed behind slowly and stated, "Yeah. They take after you all right."

Alex thrust open the front door to find a good sized crater smoking in the grass along with Lune and Bolt laying on the ground covered with grit and dirt. Jade was coughing from the dust and smoke and was also dirty from the explosion. The young trainer exclaimed in surprise and hurried over to the youngest of the three Pokemon. She picked up the tiny Eevee and tried brushing off some of the dirt from it's coat. Alex noticed a couple of small cuts on Jade as the young Pokemon continued to choke on the smoke. Anger rose into the teen's cheeks turning them pink and she stomped over to her other two Pokemon who were now sitting up and shaking their aching heads.

Alex shouted, "Lune! Bolt! You two should be ashamed! You know not to fight like this! I understand battling one another for training is one thing, but causing an explosion that hurts others? That's a completely different situation! I trusted you to not take it this far, especially you Lune! You're the oldest but I guess I was mistaken."

Lune had a startled expression in his eyes and was hurt at what his trainer had said. He never meant to hurt anyone. Surely she knew that. He glanced up at Alex and she scoffed, "Don't give me that look Lune. I'm disappointed in you. Bolt doesn't know when enough is enough, so I would've expected you to stand up, take control of the situation and know when to call it quits! Now because of you Jade is unnecessarily hurt!"

Lune was becoming annoyed and he growled at his trainer, "Don't pin all of the blame on me. I didn't do anything and I never meant to hurt my sister. You act like I did this on purpose!"

Alex glared at her Umbreon and then sighed, "Lune, there are times when I wish you weren't such a little troublemaker." The teen then gave one last angry glare at her Pokemon and cradled Jade in her arms as she made her way back to the house to treat the young Eevee's wounds.

As soon as Alex's back had turned, Lune scoffed, turned his tail and bolted into the forest. He didn't care where he was going, all he wanted to do was just get away from everything. Bolt sighed and walked back to the house thinking, "Well this has turned into a big mess. I don't even know how that explosion happened. A Thundershock and Shadow Ball attack make a small explosion, but not one big enough to make a crater like that. It's strange, but I guess nothing can be done about it now. I hope you understand that Alex can't stay mad at you forever Lune."

The sun had set over the mountains to the west, and the forest was in the east so it was already quite dark. The Pikachu had arrived at the flap in the door. He knew his best friend was a Pokemon of the night, but that didn't mean something could go wrong. Before he went inside he thought "Please come back safe.", and he jumped into the warm cottage away from the night's cold air.

Later...

Damon brought the binoculars up to his eyes once again and he could see the tiny village in the distance. He was on a remote hill near the base of the Windy m

Mountains and was about to get his mission underway. His Ariados patiently waited by its trainers side, eager to cause a little bit of chaos. Damon sighed as he located the target's home through the binoculars and then brought the specs down to his chest where they hung on a black cord. The young man also could see the small crater from a battle he had witnessed earlier. He pulled up his black hood over his chestnut hair with one hand and sunk his other into the pocket of his trench-coat.

Damon silently thought, "That went well. I was able to cause a bit of destruction to that battle by having Magmortar fire a small, fast and powerful Flame Burst when the Pikachu's and Umbreon's attacks collided. I was able to separate the Umbreon easily, and that make my mission easier as well. As long as he's wandering in the woods, I may as well put my plan into action now. It will be less complicated obtaining the target now."

He withdrew from the depths of his deep pocket a sphere that was about the size of a ping-pong ball. It was bright red on the top and starch white on the bottom with a tiny button in the middle. He pressed the button with his thumb and it enlarged to the size of a softball. He tossed the ball into the air and it opened with a flash of white light.

The blob of light shot to the ground and a dinosaur-like creature with serrated fangs, curved talons and huge wings appeared instantly. It growled, resisting it's urge to roar into the night and make itself known to others, but it knew better. The large spider crawled onto its back, excited to do its trainers bidding.

Damon smirked and ordered his Pokemon, "Aerodactyl and Ariados, you know what must be done. I want the target brought to me here and in one piece. Try your best not to damage it. My client want's the target in good condition once we return to Stone Island. Now go!"

The Long Leg Pokemon clicked its pincers and the flying dinosaur growled once again as it spread its leathery wings and took off into the sky. It flew in a circle above Damon and then it took off towards the village in the valley. He smirked and silently waited for his loyal Pokemon to return.

At the same time...

Lune was walking though a familiar part of the forest close to his home. He could feel the dirt and rocks on the path underneath his paws turn cold as he felt the sun's warmth leave the tiny pebbles. The night Pokemon were beginning to emerge from their daytime hiding places as daylight Pokemon scurried back to their nests.

The young Umbreon was still a bit crushed at what his trainer had said to him. He had cooled off enough so that his anger was gone, but all that was left was a pit of guilt and shame. He didn't know how he was going to make this up to Jade, especially since she was the one who got hurt. Lune finally arrived at a small but strong stream in the forest. He stopped on the banks of the water and dipped his head down to take a cool drink. After quenching his thirst he pricked his sensitive ears up high. As he did this the rings on his legs, ears and tail began to glow a soft golden color. He felt uneasy and knew something was wrong. He could sense that something was in danger, and it wasn't him.

He bolted from the stream and began to run in the opposite direction from which he had come. He had just touched the beginning of the path that would lead him home when he heard a deafening explosion and a terrible roar that cut through the night like a dagger. He growled and put all of his speed into running towards the cottage. Various night Pokemon were on the path but immediately scuttled out of Lune's way as he sprinted through the forest.

As he came near the end of the path, Lune's heart dropped as he saw the burning cottage before him. The front door had been blasted down and dark smoke was billowing out of all the windows which were missing their glass panes. He dashed into the house and the air was thick with black smoke. Flames rose everywhere and were licking the walls, burning everything in it's path. Lune crouched down to the floor and crawled on the blackened floor, his lungs aching for fresh air. The scent of fresh blood and gore filled Lune's nostrils, and the Umbreon's ruby red eyes widened in horror at the sight before him.

A large piece of rubble was on top of Grandma Lucy. The old woman's body was broken and blood was running down her face and Lune could immediately tell that she had not survived the impact. He pricked his ears as he could hear some sort of breathing through the crackling of the flames and the collapsing house coming from underneath Lucy, and he quickly inched along the floor to find Daisy underneath her trainer. The Furret looked seriously hurt, and she continued to cough up blood. Lune half coughed and cried out, "Daisy! Hang on! I'm here to help you!"

The Furret snapped her eyes open and said in a raspy voice, "No! Leave me! I'm done for. My Lucy is gone and it's all my fault. She protected me from a falling piece of the ceiling, but she died instead of me, and even that wasn't enough to protect me. I wish to die with my trainer now."

Daisy closed her eyes and Lune couldn't help the tears that were forming in his own. "No! Daisy you can't die! Please!" The old Pokemon weakly opened her eyes and she whispered, "You have to leave me. The Pokemon that attacked this house, he...he took them. Took them all, blasted the house to a burn to ash and then flew away. Find that flying Pokemon. He couldn't have gotten far. I'm begging you...They took Jade...Bolt...and Alex. Please...as my dying wish...and my Lucy's as well...save the girls...bring them home again...so we can...be...happy...once...more..."

Daisy gave a painful shudder and turned to snuggle up with the stiff body of her trainer. The Furret let a single tear escape from her darkening irises and she sighed heavily. Her eyes fluttered shut, and Daisy moved no more. The Umbreon firmly pressed his eyes shut and forced himself to crawl away from the faithful Pokemon and her trainer, allowing the two partners to pass on together. He pulled himself from the ruined house as the roof caved in and the cottage finally collapsed, sending a cloud of dust, embers and smoke into the starry sky.

Lune coughed a couple of times and frantically looked around for a shape, a moving object, anything against the dark canvas of the sky he could follow. He finally saw it. A creature with huge wings flying against the pale silver moon. It roared once again and he knew it was the same cry he heard in the forest.

He growled and immediately bolted after the dinosaur-like creature. He had put all of his rage and anger into running and in no time he was underneath the Pokemon. He opened his mouth and a dark blob of energy formed from nothing. Once it was a decent size he hurled the Shadow Ball into the air. The ghostly ball of power hit it's target dead on, and the creature roared in pain as it spiraled toward the earth. Lune sprinted after it as it crashed into the grassy plain next to the mountains. He saw a shape jump off of the flying Pokemon's back and he heard the clicking of pincers and the deep rumble of the creature growling dust cleared from the impact and what Lune saw made his body shake with anger and rage.

A large Aerodactyl had Bolt locked in its jaws, and Lune could see blood around the wounds the serrated fangs had made in the yellow fur. An Ariados had a shape on its back, and Lune made it out to be Alex. The teen was unconscious and her arms and legs were bound together with a sticky white thread that the bug Pokemon had spun onto her. Lune's snarled loudly as he saw his fragile younger sister in the claws of the Aerodactyl and the Eevee was shaking and whimpering in pure fright. Lune wanted to rush forward and snatch his sister away from the monsters, but the claws of the dinosaur Pokemon tightened around the body of Jade and she yelped in pain, forcing the Umbreon to stay put. His sister's eyes were filled with fear and Lune's body was radiating pure rage. He bared his fangs at his opponents and snarled, "Release them all! Now! You'll pay for what you've done to them and the old ones! Give me back my friends!"

The flying Pokemon released Bolt from it's jaws and the small mouse Pokemon fainted as he dropped to the ground with a soft thud. A booming voice erupted from the Aerodactyl's throat and it roared, "You are in no position to argue with us you brat! Leave now and we will return the pathetic little rat to you! We don't have orders to bring that thing or you with us, and we aren't allowed to hurt you too bad, so leave now before I change my mind!"

Lune snapped back, "I'm not leaving here without any of my friends!" With that the Umbreon charged forward with a swift Quick Attack. The Aerodactyl smirked at the thought of a battle and he tossed Jade from his claws into the pincers of the Ariados, who caught Jade and had her pinned in its grip.

The flying Pokemon lifted into the skies and whipped up a whirlwind and directed it towards Lune. The crafty Pokemon dodged it expertly and he let a burst of Dark Pulse smash into his opponent. The Aerodactyl cried out in pain and snarled as he fired a Hyper Beam at the Umbreon. Lune managed to dodge the attack but a few pieces of rubble hit him in various spots and creating new wounds. He winced as blood began to leave his cuts but he saw the oppotunity to attack since his opponent had to recharge after such a dangerous attack. He focused on making his tail dense and it soon was coated in a shining metal material. Lune charged towards the Aerodactyl and he slammed his Iron Tail directly onto his target.

The Aerodactyl roared in pain and he snapped into action. He quickly lashed his tail underneath Lune's legs, causing the Umbreon to trip in surprise. The evil Pokemon grinned and he snatched up the helpless Umbreon in its talons. Lune cried out in pain as the claws slashed on his skin and long gashes were gouged into his side.

The Aerodactyl squeezed the air out of Lune's lungs, spread his large wings, and took off into the black night sky. The fossil Pokemon surged upward with each stroke of his wings and Lune could feel himself slipping away. He heard the large Pokemon growl at him, "This will teach you to not to mess with a stronger opponent. Time to say goodbye you little worm!"

Aerodactyl then roared again as he dive-bombed towards the ground, dragging Lune with him. About 100 yards from the ground he snapped his wings open, released his tight grip on the Umbreon and slammed him into the ground. An explosion of dust and dirt surged as the helpless Pokemon coughed and moaned in pain.

Lune couldn't move and he could feel blood flowing freely out of his gaping wounds. His vision was blurry and his hearing was muffled. The Aerodactyl then pressed one of its feet onto Lune, further crushing him into the dirt. As if cotton was stuffed into his ears, he heard his sister scream cries of mercy for her weakened brother. Lune's eyes rolled into the back of his head as his air was cut off and he could faintly see the rock-type Pokemon lower its jaws towards his exposed neck. It was prepared to rip his throat out when a deep voice from a clifftop nearby cut though the cries of his sister and commanded, "Aerodactyl! That will be enough for now! I specifically said to not kill that one! He is of no use to us dead. Leave him. We need to be on our way."

Lune could sense the source of the voice leave and he felt the pressue on his chest lift off of him. He gasped for air and could hear his sister's desperate cries for her brother. They were soon muffled and he saw through blurry eyes the Ariados had spun a track of thread around her mouth and she was desperately struggling to escaped, but to no avail. The Ariados scuttled on Aerodactyl's back with Alex still bound and unconscious on its own and Jade was soon in the claws of the Fossil Pokemon once again. The flying Pokemon soon took off into the night once more with his trainer and fragile younger sister.

Lune lay in the crater as the pale moonlight was hidden by dark clouds. Without the light of the silver orb, the Moonlight Pokemon felt all of his strength draining out of him swiftly. He tried to move once more but was too weak and beaten, and he could see darkness creeping around the edges of his eyes. As he helplessly watched the kidnappers take his family away he thought, No...I've failed...to protect you...again...no...

Darkness soon consumed Lune as his eyes fluttered shut, and for the first time in four years he whispered to ears that could not hear him.

Kaya...Forgive me...
