"Hidden beneath the mask we all wear is a colour, be it a calm blue or a firy red, we always say 'the colour represents you' but in truth it is we that represent a colour ..for blue is the sea, the sky therefor we call it 'calm' and for red is the colour of 'hate' for it is unfortunately the colour of blood, blood that would not even be seen if it were not for our very existence.
Colours are colours we created, names are names we created, just like ervery emotion and every action, no matter how 'inhumane' it is, we made it ourselves"
Joseph Dellwick, professor at the Mossdeep University (2nd of February, 2501)

Chapter Nineteen

Each action has a consequence

One minute I was staring at the Gym Bulding, the other I was pressed against the ground as the Arcanine pushed each and every one of our 'tour group' to the ground when the faint whizzing sound suddenly shot past us and ended in the walls with a loud "BANG" as small pieces of brick flew around and suddenly the Gardevoir hissed and shot up, eyes blazing red, as several familiar not-quite-round pieces of metal suddenly started hovering mid-air as they suddenly shot back to the shadows they came from and we heard a shriek before several curses were shouted and then we noticed what happened in the remaining parts of the street, tourist were running around like a flock of headless Pidgey as the various trainers were shouting random orders for their pokémon to obey as I noticed the various grey and black suits mixed in the chaos, some had a red G and others a yellow R and they were the ones with the guns and .. BANG ! as another bullet hit the concrete sidewalk just next to my leg and then I decided to join the other trainer's example and released my team once more, except Bob for I guess she's still unconscious .. and Garret .. leaving me with only Nate and Goliath.

"Just .. I don't know ! I don't want to die !" that was enough for Goliath as he charged into the mass of people and soon I saw a shrieking black-suit wearing girl screaming as her hair was on fire, never underesti- BANG ! And a blinding pain overtook my nerves as I looked at my leg and saw that blood was coating my pants and I screamed, and screamed and screamed some more, and then the cursing started as Josh and Ed just watched in shock before Ed stood up and released his team before screaming "Get those bastards for hurting sum'one that's with meh !" and they were off, Josh then threw Paul's pokéball in the mob of people that was nearing us as sparks were soon seen coating the sky as the angry Pachirisu expressed his anger for being treated that way and soon I was crawling away from the people, my leg hurting like a million trucks were riding over it or someone was finding enjoyment in stabbing me with huge knives, it hurts.
Then I got the now familiar feeling in my head, it still wasn't nice, and Rhine's 'voice' spoke up "Do not fret foolish mortal for you are in no immediate danger, the bullet has not damaged any main arteries nor damaged any bone or muscle beyond repair, my master also wishes you to inform you that he too is at a serious disadvantage here and hereby kindly offers to teleport you, along with him, to the nearest pokémon center, if that is safe, and I and his guide-the Mightyena- shall accompany you, we shall leave now"and then I felt like I just dissapeared before materialising again on the floor of the Center, where dozens of trainers had barricaded the door and the windows, and soon the nurse was screaming when she saw my leg and I was hastily bandaged as she shoved various nasty smelling kinds of medice down my throat before I was teleported away again and suddenly found myself looking through a window from the first floor the pokécenter had as others came running up the stairs to barricade these windows as well, from my position on the couch I could clearly see what was going on in the streets below us, as pokémon of various sizes were battling, people were shooting, running, screaming or yelling orders when suddenly all became silent as heads turned towards the sky. There ,right behind a Fearow, was a Garchomp, it was hovering at a high speed towards Hearthome and then we saw the long, almost golden, hair of our very own Champion. Cynthia has arrived. She was sitting on top of her Garchomp as they shot across the sky before crash-landing on a building before screaming (I only heard this because right then the glass shattered thanks to a missing Rock smash) "What do you all think you are doing ?" as her Garchomp just glared at the trainers below him with a look that clearly said 'die' when suddenly a lone individual stepped forward.

"Cynthia," he greeted "What a pleasant surprise to see you here so .. convenient it is" the man's tone was venomous and low "How long have I waited to be able to host such an event that even you would come and join the fun" he truly looked as if he truly enjoyed this madness "But now I fear that I am not allowed to take full credit for this wonderfully organized party, oh no, so let me introduce you my .. co-workers,henchmen,associates however you wish to call them .. watch !" and from the shadows, the silent crowd and from buildings came the people in black and/or grey as I soon saw they all wore a white mask, only thing visible was their hair, or lack therof in the case of the girl Goliath got, and each and every one of them also had a red G or a yellow R on their suite. "You mortals truly are a violent species are you not ? The minds of some of the people down there are truly twisted, and the more twisted and cruel they are the harder it is to understand them ... but fear not mortal, for my master and I are always prepared for the worst, even in cases like this"
I didn't believe them but didn't dwell on it as I had been shot, which is more important than some blind guy's life plans, to me anyway.

"Oh Cynthia, I am so excited to see you here for my show !" he said, voice low and dangerous as he mentioned with his arms around him like the owner of a circus when welcoming the crowd, "Do you see ? Isn't it beautiful ?" Screams of anger came from the people below and a jet of flames nearly missed the man as he suddenly vanished before re-appearing a few feet from his original spot as he shook his head.
"Tut tut, so rash you lot down there, Pierre show them the consequence of acting before thinking please .. s'il vous plaît" and I couldn't see exactly what happened but explosions were heard that were accompanied by flashes of bright light and then it hit me, bombs ! I nearly jumped up at realising that only to crumble back to the floor, biting my tongue in an attempt to hold back another scream.

"Mortals, their lives so pitifully short yet they try to make it even shorter, how foolish" Rhine 'said' to probably everyone in what was left of the room before she focused her attention back to the man on the roof.
"People of Hearthome, we are here to have you finally notice us and make you listen to our ideas !" the man yelled, voice enthusiastic for once as he gestured around again "to make you know how foolishly naïve you all are, to show you the truth and to let you get a taste of true power achieved by -" his voice was cut off by a blast of light and all grew dark as I fell to the floor again.

Disclaimer: I own a new computer, and some new books, but pokémon isn't mine.

I finally updated, took me a long time didn't it ? Well I hope it was worth it for it isn't the end of what my evil mind has in store for you but it's short, otherwise it would have to be this really really long and boring chapter all about the evilness of the world which wouldn't work with me, so deal with it ^^

Clearing up:
1. Why did he have to get shot ? It's all about what happens after that, besides when in a dangerous situation it'll be weird to be completely unharmed, lots of people got shot this chapter ;)
2. Once again, why so short ? Because I'll most likely cut this chapter in two pieces (which I did) and have someone else's point of view for the next one, to be 'in the action' instead of Jacob whining about being shot.
3. Yeah, why does he bring it up all the time ? Because he got shot, it hurts, and I knew no other way , would you like me having him walk around on his leg stating "nah, just a little scratch .. LETS GO FIGHT SOME BADGUYS .. YEAH !" and go all agressive at the 'evil people' ? Guess not ^^

Reviews:

Omega The Omniscient:
The norm ? I guess American/British mix or something ... (?)
I just like Ed ... :D
Hope it has set the stage good for this one :)

Neelyn8r:
It never stops raining here -.-''
"O brother where art thou ?" ... I don't get it ? But it sounds funny so I like it ^^ ... Will Amber stay gone or will she return in the end ? Who knows (I do !)

Next chapter:
Eeeuuhh .. I have no idea, probably within a day or 2/3 but it may take longer seeing how I kill computers without doing much ^^ (Poor .. pòòr Viktor) ^^
