Hi there everyone, i'm for now updating both stories from now on, and i am glad my stories have a lot of views, even though i havent got a review yet XP Well, i'll be posting the next chapter now.
Unfortunately for Luxis's plan, Dewott landed in front of it, watching him closely. Luxis thought of probably befriending him but seeing Zoroark just barely dodge her opponents attacks just as they started shooting a barrage of highly pressured water shots. Luxis sprinted towards the Dewott who used water gun, shooting a stream of high pressure water capable of destroying a concrete wall but Luxis ducked, running low enough to not get hit. Once getting pass the Dewott, he found himself stuck… How is he going to get on the top of a two story statue? There were no ladders or anyway to get on it except jumping or climbing it, which he could not do. He looked back as Dewott walked closer to him "Dang it what am I supposed to do now?" He said to himself.
He looked towards Zoroark quick to see how she was putting up. She was getting worn out as she got slower, getting hit by one of the blasts that sended her flying a few feet but regained her balance landing on her feet. Seeing that gave him a desperate idea, he only had one chance, failing means getting capture, Zoroark being taken away, and possibly both of them ending up dead. He turned around to face Dewott and took a step forward, getting Dewott in a fighting stance, feeling threatened.
Luxis said arrogantly "Heh I bet your water gun isn't that tough, but it does look cool." Using the take and give method worked as Dewott turned it's head to the side, looking at Luxis from the corner of his eye. "I bet I can block it easily." Luxis said right before pinning Dewott down to the ground, he was unable to move but struggled good enough to be able to break free if Luxis did a mistake.
"What are you gonna do now? I thought you were stronger than this. Luxis got him annoyed that Dewott started charging a full power water gun attack. Luxis placed his left hand on Dewott's cheek, petting it softly saying "Thanks for the help!" cheerfully as he closed his eyes waiting for the water gun's impact and hoping his bones will remain intact. Dewott blushed, liking it, but was unable to stop the attack and shot Luxis right on his chest. Luxis felt a great surge of pain hit his chest as he flied upwards above the statue landing right beside it's pointy ear, which by luck he didn't land directly on it.
He was Gasping for air that did not came for a while as a searing pain got his chest. After the pain got from being so bad he couldn't move to being resistible he managed to stand up, one eye closed and panting heavily, he saw a weird, blue, square pedestal, there was no doubt it was the switch, now to see if it works. He stomped on it hard, as a click noise was heard along with the sound of gushing water flowing from the statue. Dewott looked away from the statue, still blushing as the guard looked up at it, seeing Luxis. "What are you doing!? Bellowed the guard down below, his eyes looking too dark and sinister in which Luxis saw. The grounds rised halfway as the water ebbed as well but was still too deep and the gap was to wide to jump from. His chest hurting much less.
He saw that Zoroark had already knocked out whooper as its leg twitched, but Dewott went to Join the fray. Wanting to help Luxis was going to jump down, but stopped at the edge forgetting how high he was. At least the ground completely rised as the water level returned to normal. Without his help Zoroark has a chance of losing and getting badly hurt. He said to himself "Dang it, if I stay here…" He, despite his doubt decided to jump, He jumped down, doing a swan dive as the dragon crystal he kept in his pocket started to glow faintly as he landed on his feet, unharmed.
He thought for sure his legs would be hurting but for some reason he felt fine, not even his chest was hurting, which was weird, but what mattered was to help Zoroark, he ran to her pushing Dewott slightly saying "Thanks Dewott." Luxis was at Zoroark's side. Dewott looked away from Luxis, blushing slightly. Zoroark was exhausted as she panted heavily. "Ok, Zoroark use illusion to destroy the statue and then use night slash, ok?" Luxis said, and Zoroark getting what he meant.
Her eyes glowed red for a moment as one off the Dewott statues collapsed for no reason, a huge wave of water engulfed everything, but Luxis knew it was an illusion so he watched curiously at the inside of the flood as Zoroark used night slash, knocking all of the other Pokémon, then she kicked the guard who was left unconscious. Luxis was still curious to how it resembled hi-kick... Zoroark had reached her limit and even passed it as she was strained, falling to her knee, panting heavily, there was no time to think of how similar her attacks were with a fighting type, he ran to her, putting his hand on her back, stroking it softly and getting to eye level with her, looking at her face, He said to her "Are you alright?" in a worried tone, thinking she might be badly hurt,

"Yes…" Zoroark responded when her panting eased. Luxis was relieved to hear she wasn't badly hurt as he leaned closer to her, saying "Tha-" He stopped there just realizing she just spoke to him, he felt a cold chill go down his spine hearing her soft, beautiful voice. "You can speak?" he said nervously as Zoroark nodded, saying "yes, I thought now was a good time to let you know.." She said in a shy depressed voice. Luxis didn't believe it at first but was excited by the fact she could talk, saying "That's amazing Zoroark!" Zoroark looked up at him, looking into his eyes and said in a more cheerful tone "Really? I thought it'd scare you.." Luxis smiled warmly, placing his hand on the back off her head, feeling her long hair, and stroking it.
"if you spoke to me when we first met, it would still be awesome, I'm not creeped out, so you don't have to worry about that." Luxis said to her in a soft voice. They both smiled, looking at each others eyes. "I actually thought it was possible that you could talk since you're not a normal Pokémon." His hand still stroking the back of her head, as he wanted to make her feel more comfortable.
Zoroark sat down on the grass, tire. Luxis stayed looking at her, thinking she looked cute sitting down cross-legged and looking at him. "Now I have something I need to tell you," Luxis's imagination took over, imagining themselves speaking out their feelings for each other, then kissing deeply but that dream bubble popped as she continued talking.
"It's about the forbidden Pokémon." Luxis felt down for that moment, wishing his daydream came true, but he paid attention anyways. "The Pokémon from route eight, those were from the forbidden grounds, but also servants of Souecra. Souecra gives them power with the magic markings on their bodies." Then is Zoroark with Souecra? Luxis hoped that thought would stay as a thought as he kept listening.
"That world is kill or be killed.. I wanted to get out of that world.. Luxis thought Souecra was defeated by the Hero, but Zoroark brandishing its mark it means it survived all these years. "Souecra was sealed in the body of the remaining hero's body. The last hero, Keith was mortally wounded in the battle, he could not defeat Souecra in his condition, so he sealed it in his body, hoping he could take it down with him…but when his soul left his body, Souecra healed the shell left behind, but is still trapped in it, in the forbidden grounds."
Luxis was listening to the story, extremely interested in it. "So, Luxis, in other words if Souecra destroys the seal on the hero's body, the twilight barrier will be broken and Souecra will regain it's true power. Though I do not know how it plans to break the seal… but it does." But she did not say how and why did she betray Souecra and get out of that world.
Luxis asked "And that is the reason you came to this side?" Zoroark looked down, hesitant but said "No.. I came here because I wanted to escape. I was once one of Souecra's followers, I'm corrupted by it's power.. It was until I was given the mission.. To massacre humans- the outbreak.." Luxis could not believe what he just heard. Zoroark was a servant of the demon Pokémon who seeped half of the world into ruin…. But he did not care, it didn't matter, she just wanted freedom and even risked everything by not killing people like she was ordered to.
Luxis sat right next to her, feeling sorry for her. He did not know what to say as he looked at her. Zoroark saddened to tell him the full truth about her past said "Also.. I wanted to find a human who would help me find a way to stop Souecra.. Someone I could trust, that's why I followed you. But now I wonder if you trust me.. Now that you know my past."
Luxis didn't care if she used to be or still was the enemy, he still trusted her from the very beginning, and still does. He said "You think I don't trust you? So what if you were with Souecra. You aren't anymore, you aren't black hearted, and even if you were, I'd still trust you… And like I said before, you are the only person I trust." in a gentle voice as he softly felt her shoulder with his hand.
Zoroark smiled at him, having her spirits lifted by his words. But a question lingered in his mind in which he had to know "So who ordered the outbreak?" He said in a almost whisper as he massaged her shoulder. She looked at him saying "Souecra hates humans, it has seen all the terrible things they do to each other… and Pokémon, that made the change from just being the counterpart of Arceous to a demon Pokémon filled with hate, even more now that its imprisoned in the body of a human."
Luxis couldn't help but to think of Mycah, and the gang he fought earlier, saying out loud "But not all humans are like that." Zoroark nodded saying "That's what I believe in too. Souecra has become obsessed with its so called justice. That's why I need your help, Luxis."
He smiled and said "Well, count me in, I'm not letting anybody hurt you." As Luxis stood up, feeling his legs start to go numb Zoroark smiled. "Now, before we go I need to tell my brother and the others ill be gone for a while….."
He had second thoughts of telling his family since they'd react in a extreme way. "Maybe ill leave a note better." Zoroark asked "Why is that?" finding it a bit odd. Luxis answered by saying "My family can overreact heheh…" as he rubbed the back of his head. "Oh, alright then." Zoroark said as she smiled gleefully. "Well, I do need to get my stuff before we head to the forbidden grounds and stuff.
But right now we should find a place to rest." Thinking she must be tired from the battle, he did not want her to strain herself anymore than she did. Zoroark nodded, then embracing Luxis tightly and extremely close that their noses touched. Luxis was dumbstruck on what to do next as he didn't expect her to do that but enjoyed the moment none the less as he looked into her beautiful red eyes, both blushing together. "Thanks you, Luxis." Zoroark said emotionally as if she was about to cry at any moment. After a few seconds, she hastily licked his cheek after leaning to his lips, making him think she was going to kiss him.
Luxis did not say anything afraid he would say nonsense as he daydreamed until Zoroark said as she was on the dirt road "You coming?" She gestured him to follow. Luxis snapped out of it, embarrassed and in a state of small panic "O-Of c- yes." He said nervously as he quickly walked to her as she smiled, seemingly having fun teasing him.
After walking a safe distance from the water plant, Luxis sat in front the base of a tree, hoping he could get Zoroark to rest since she seemed to want to continue though exhausted. He looked up at Zoroark and said "This is a good spot, right?" With a nod, Zoroark said "Good" and as she sat down on the grass in front of him he suddenly sensed a burst of menace.
He looked around searching for whom or what could be causing such a feeling when he had a vision of a blurred but bloody image of Zoroark. He felt his instinct reach a breaking point as the feeling of menace made it feel as if death was holding his blade against Zoroark's throat. He quickly pushed her away not thinking of anything but what he saw, purely acting upon instinct.
Seconds later a huge, thick branch from the tree they were underneath broke off crashing down right where Zoroark was seconds ago. Zoroark stayed staring at the log like branch as she said "H-how did you?" confused and frightened as she now stared at Luxis. "I forgot to tell you but… I have the sixth sense..." He said seriously. "So you..?" Zoroark asked even more confused. "Yep." Luxis responded knowing she was going to say that since it was obvious. Luxis thought, by the way Zoroark was looking at him, that he was crazy. He did not want to tell her that secret until he knew he could say it without scaring her off, and now was the worst possible moment. Zoroark stood up, not looking at him as she sat under another tree.
And that as you say is that, seems Luxis is not an ordinary human either, plus what is that dragon mark stone he has? And Zoroark likes to tease yes :3 *nods and looks at her as she lays on her back and murrs at me*well til next chapter.. Zoroark keep acting cute like that, its cute *chuckles*
