This is my longest chapter. XDDD Well this is sort of just a bonus chapter, I guess, and is probably the only one told by Mia. I sort of wanted to do this because I dressed up like Mia today and love her, she's my baby. XD So enjoy this chapter and it's (Unseen)violence, as well as confusion. XD
Chapter ten
All Mine
Mia
The cold ground pierced my open palms. The rocks around didn't help either. I moaned and rolled over, feeling warmer. That's not normal. I opened my eyes, letting out a yelp from my mouth. I had just almost rolled into the fire. Sure, there was a screen over the fire but that was just to make sure the fire wouldn't escape the pit, not keeping us out of it.
"Well, what a wonderful thing to wake up to..." I said to myself, now fully awake. I looked around, everyone else was gone. Well at least I didn't wake them up. What happened last night though?
"White, you're back!" Diamond yelled, running up to her. "What did you learn?" she then asked, jumping around.
"May, do you want to start?" White turned her head to ask May. She nodded her head as everyone else, including me, gathered.
"I heard that some people have been escaping their homes and raiding others. Plus, the torture of pokemon percentage has gone up quite a lot, I don't know if we need to know that." May said, putting her fist below her chin and wondered.
"And is that it?" Brendan asked. May sulked a bit. From the looks of it though, no one got a lot of information.
"Well N and I didn't get a lot either." Keith interrupted. I was right. "What we found out was the same as you May," he added. N stepped in the circle to continue.
"There's also been anger between other regions. It's starting to worry others into thinking there will be a war." he said. And what did White have to say?
"Well I didn't hear about anything like them but I found out things happening in other regions. Like Dream City recently started having bad whether and Almia has had a lot of fires.
Oh right... That's what happened. Well I started putting everything together.
"What could..." I started to say to myself but it all hit me. "Oh no, I gotta tell White." I said, standing up. My necklace got caught on the ground though, somehow, and basically suffocated me. When I came free, my necklace was rolling away. I went after it.
My necklace is what carried my pokeball, you see. I needed my pokemon, my Grovyle, he meant a lot to me. As I was running though, I stumbled over a rock, now my pokeball out of site. I knew it rolled out of the screen to the campsite though... Would it be safe to go out there?
"I'll be out and back before anyone notices." I reassured myself and ran out of the screen. Still, I couldn't see my pokeball, or a chain coming from it. It probably ran under a bush though so I had nothing to worry about. It couldn't have been taken or anything, right? I went through a bush to find... Something I didn't want to find.
"Hello, little girl." a large, overweight man said. He was pounding his fist in his palm. I had seen this guy before, he was... Who was he... "What are you doing here?" he asked. His voice scared me.
"Your..." I said out loud, trying to find out who he was... It came to me. I saw this man on a wanted sign in Almia. He was a fugitive wanted by the highest ranked police. I went to run but he grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in.
"Black, help!" I yelled as he covered my mouth and put a switch blade to my neck. I froze, the man laughing at me.
"What's wrong, girl? Lost your ability to fight back so soon?" his ghastly voice filled my ears as his bad breath filled my breathing air. I gagged from how bad it was.
"Black..." I managed to say in fear. Please come... Someone come... I don't care who, I just didn't want to die! Not yet, I was too young. I felt a bit limp now, the man almost suffocating me. Then, a gust of hope came through.
"Victini, use swift!" someone yelled from the busses. The pokemon's attack of blowing stars flustered the wanted man, making him drop the blade. It gave me a breather. "You better let her go, dude." the same voice said. I was still in a small daze so it was harder to tell who it was until he stepped out from behind the greenery.
My eyes lit up.
"Black..." came across my lips. The man stammered and dropped me. When I hit the ground, I immediately ran up to Black. He gave me a serious look.
"Mia, what are you doing out of the screen? I told you, it's dangerous!" he sternly yelled at me. My relief of seeing him felt faded.
"I... I just wanted to get Grovyle. He rolled out of the screen, I didn't think this would happen." I said, clutching Black's sweater. He hugged me.
"I'm sorry for yelling, I know you're scared." he whispered into my ears. It was so much better then that man's scratchy voice. "Go find your pokemon and quickly come back here, I'll take care of him." Black added. I nodded and followed his orders, going through another bush.
"Grovyle, come on out!" I yelled once I was a bit further, seeing if I would activate my pokeball to get it quickly. Soon enough, a pokemon as large as me popped out of the large grass.
"Grovyle!" cried my pokemon. I went and hugged him.
"There you are. Let's go, I don't want Black to worry or get hurt." I said, returning Grovyle back into the pokeball and running back to where I was.
I suddenly became scared from hearing grunts of pain and suffering. I could tell from where I was, accidentally saying it out loud.
"Those cries are Black's..."
When I drew nearer, I hid behind one of the trees, seeing Black getting beat up by the man. This was all my fault. He was trying so hard to fight back but the man was too strong, too big... No... Size had nothing to do with it.
I made myself visible.
"Black, keep trying!" I yelled, bring Grovyle back out. "Grovyle, razor leaf!" another yell came.
"Stop, Grovyle!" Black yelled as Grovyle started to try and launch his first leaf. I was a but surprised. Grovyle lunged backwards in confusion. "Mia, this is my fight, not yours. Go back into the screen, it will be okay." he ordered me. It took a moment but I shook my head.
"I'm not going back in there without you." I said, going behind him.
An agonising time went by, seeing Black fight for his life. I wanted to help so badly but I wasn't a fighter like he was. I wasn't a male and he wouldn't let me help by using Grovyle. It was his fight... No, it was my fight that he was fighting for me.
"You brat!" the man yelled before fleeing. Defeat, KOed, whatever you want to call it, it was over.
"Thank you, Black." I said, getting closer, to my surprise, he then collapsed to the ground. I gasped and kneeled down beside him. "Are you okay?" I asked, worried. He nodded and gave me a half hearted smile. It was as if Black was still worried about me. If anyone was hurt, it was him.
I made sure to drag Black back into the screen so no one else would attack. So he was lying down, his head on my lap, and I was bandaging some of the scrapes on his arms.
"I'm really sorry, that was my fault." I said.
"Mia, Grovyle means a lot to you, I know that. You went to find him so there's nothing to apologise about..." he said. Even if that was true, no words would make me feel any better.
"Mia, how's Black?" White asked, entering the campsite. I had told her what happened beforehand.
"His injuries aren't very bad but he'll need some rest." I said, done my little examination. "But I need to tell you something, White." I said. "I need to see all of the artifacts that you've stolen." I said. White nodded and went to get them. Black got in a more comfortable position once she returned. White sat down and placed the artifacts in front of me. She put them in a certain order, the order of which they stole them. The shield shaped artifacts looked new, actually, and not old.
"Now look, each of these artifacts has a certain meaning. You have ten here and there are ten to go. What you have here are the artifacts of love, balance, peace, fire, earth, depression, fear, socialisation, actions, and detail." I finished talking for a minute to look at White, who seemed a bit confused. I continued, starting with "all of these artifacts trigger different events. You took the balance artifact which is why people have been mistreating pokemon more and more. You took the fire artifact and that's why Almia had started having more and more fires so," White cut me off.
"So each of these artifacts are connected to reality and are altering it now that they're not in place." she finished my sentence. I nodded.
"Exactly. So what if it's not a good idea to do this?" I asked. White stared off into space for a moment.
"We want to get everyone home though, don't we? Once we're done with our expedition, these reliec pieces should seize to exist and the world will continue to turn, right?" she asked. I hesitantly nodded again. I wasn't really sure, actually. Would it be okay? "We have to try, it's our only option. Besides, what about everyone's family? What about your pokemon at home? Cheren and Bianca? Skyler for Keith? We don't know who everyone else wants to get home to but think about how much everyone is worrying about all of us." White continued.
"And if they don't disappear, they'll stay with White because she will be holding them all. She'll just put them in place and the future will be okay, seeing as we're from the past." Black said to me.
"I guess... We have to hurry though or else the whole world will become ruins." I said. White cut in.
"I know, we're going to have to one team expedition each day, we can fly on pokemon to the regions we want to go to. Mia, tell me what you're thinking on how the artifacts have started to alter this world at the moment, as well as will." she added. I thought.
"The peace artifact was stolen so there might be a small war that will break out between the regions. This is also connected to the actions, anger, and socialisation artifact. It's also why the sinkhole happened, maybe. Either natural causes or because someone booby trapped the area.
The balance one, I explained, is for balance between pokemon and humans. This can be related to each of the ones I just stated.
The love one may be why there are some romances are breaking out between some of our team mates, as well as tearing apart Gary and Green.
The strength artifact may lower our strength of fighting, this will connect with the health artifact. I suggest getting that one last.
The whether one will just change the whether patterns, I think.
The light one will connect with the whether and may wipe out light for some people or a whole region in total.
The memory artifact will most likely interfere with Dream City. It's probably there too and will affect the people in that region.
The sound artifact may make people unable to hear others.
The sight artifact will be like the sound artifact but with vision.
The last one is time, and that one may stop time. That's what we're aiming for, though. Once time has stopped, we cam open the portal and travel back to our own times."
So pretty neat, huh? So in other words, all of the artifacts are:
Peace, balance, love, strength, health, whether, water, fire, earth, light, memory, detail, sound, actions, anger, depression, socialisation, sight, and time.
Remember White's necklace from the beginnng? That has something to do with it. And all of the artifacts aren't like these old vases or something, they're just these mini shield shaped objects.
Also, to take into account, the title's chapter is just because of Mia and "that side of Black that fought for her will forever be her's because he's never acted like that to anyone else, not even White."
Thanks for reading~
