Me:...er...anyways...a lot of new characters come in! Well...two. By the way...I wonder what happened to Dawn...
May: OO You're right...
--
"Who are you?" asked May weakly. The man stared kindly at her.
"I'll answer that later." May watched quietly as he closed his eyes and mutter something. She caught a few words, "...sprit of fire..." May felt a cool breeze surround her and as she looked down her wound was gone and her energy was restored.
"Now tell me. Who are you?" He smiled.
"You should know already. Right?"
"Huh?"
"I'm Eroe."
"...?"
"...are you an idiot?"
"NO!"
"Well, you seem like one. "May glared coldly at him.
"You know...you remind of Drew."
"Ha ha. Maybe." May paused at his reply.
"...how do you know Drew? And how do you know my name? Where's Max?"
"Now all the questions come. Took you a while."
"Any sensible person would have asked that first." continued an arrogant voice. May turned at the sound of the new voice.
"Drew..."
"Wrong reaction. And the loser is May!"
"Hey!" protested May.
"You're a happy couple." May and Drew turned to stare at him. She sighed with a faint blush.
"What did you want to say?"
"Why isn't Giovanni attacking?" May noticed Eroe staring across the room, where the boss lay in a crumpled mess.
"...is he ok?" Eroe was silent. Only when May motioned to get up and help Giovanni then he shook his head. She stared curiously at him.
"Why?"
"He's awakening."
"He...Giovanni?"
"The legend...do you remember?" May thought for a second.
"There was a guy that caused the king to kill everyone...so a guy, i think his name was...E-Eroe...you...you're..." she finished with a stutter. He nodded.
"Finally. And that guy that caused the king to kill everyone..."
"Conseiller?" interrupted Drew.
"You know the legend?!"
"Of course. It's common knowledge in this region."
"No...it isn't. It's been passed down through May's family."
"Huh? Then how did Drew?"
"...I knew it." muttered Drew, the phrase nearly inaudible. Eroe looked knowingly at him.
"...Am I missing something?"
"Nothing. Anyway...Conseiller, as Drew said, had the ability to take over other people's bodies. Or should I say has."
"...!"
"Then what about you?"
"I was a regular boy...Listen. I'll explain why I'm here. Conseiller was my best friend when I was younger. We had a friend named Lena and as we were with her everyday, it seems we both developed feelings for her. She chose me and consumed with rage...he entered the body of the king and ordered everyone to be killed, except for her, her family and his family. My relatives and parents were killed on that same day. Fortunately, I was on the mountain then so I escaped. As I was returning home, all I saw was death.
Ever since I was little, I was told the story of the crystal dragonair, a mystical pokemon told to live deep in the mountains. I thought that the dragonair would help me so I went. Somehow, I found the dragonair and she lent me her powers. Arceus joined me, boosting my confidence even more. I believed that nothing could get in the way of my revenge. I was wrong.
After I freed the King, he killed himself of guilt and Conseiller escaped. I didn't know what to do so I returned to the mountain top. She said that since I wasn't finished with my business, I would be sealed within the family line arceus chose next. And that was Lena's family. And that means...May...you and your brother are descendants of Lena."
"Um...Can I ask one more thing?"
"Sure." replied Eroe.
"How come there are sages?" eroe smile.
"The dragonair thought I needed help, since I seemed incompetent, so she took the powers of the elements and placed them in a particular gene. For example, May and her grandmother had beautiful brown hair and blue eyes."
"Is that all? Appearance?" asked Drew suspiciously, "It doesn't explain me and Kyle. We're almost complete opposites."
"Who's Kyle?"
"Hm..you wanna know? If you do, Drew will have to trade bodies."
"No thank you."
"See, there's the gene right there. You and Kyle have steady, straight personalities. You have rational minds an don't jump to conclusions."
"...Drew had good qualities?" teased May. Drew glared at him.
"You're having a nice talk over there. I couldn't help but interrupt." sneered an unfamiliar voice that made Drew nearly jump with shock. "..Drew..it's nice to see you again."
"Shut up."
"And Eroe. It's been a while. Since Kai died huh?"
"That was an accident. You had nothing to do with it."
"You don't think I planned it?" Eroe's look of shock faded to anger.
"You..." May turned to see a hand suddenly cover her mouth and pull her backwards. At once she fell limp.
"May!" Drew yelled as a transparent bubble surround May and she rose up into the air.
"The only way to rescue her is to defeat him..." whispered Eroe as Conseiller spoke.
"You know Drew...I didn't think you would be with the enemy..."
"So what if he's a descendant of your sister?" spoke Eroe instantly.
"It means he's infinitely connected to me. Blood and spirit. And it means I can reach into his soul like Giovanni. Should we try?" Drew winced as he felt something like wind enter him and he began feeling dizzy.
"Drew!" Drew turned his back on Conseiller to look at Eroe, his green eyes strangely blank.
"You know...Eroe...I realized...you are weak...resorting to revenge..." spoke Drew, his feeling in his words gone...
--
"...ay! May! Wake up now!" May opened her eyes slowly. A woman with long brown hair and blue eyes stood in front of her.
"...! Grandmother?"
"Ugh. I hate that. Call me Christina. Do I look old to you?"
"Sorry..Gr--Christina," replied May, "What's wrong?" May looked around. She seemed to be in a shining glowing white place without any sign of restriction." ...Where am I?"
"This place reflects your soul. As you can see, your soul is very bright."
"Ohh.."
"Anyways, it seems Eroe and Drew are in trouble."
"What?! Is Drew hurt?"
"It's not that...well, see for yourself." A flame appeared in front of May and Christina and it grew into a bonfire. In the middle of the fire, she could see a scene showing what was happening.
Suddenly, she could see Eroe fly and slam against a wall from a powerful sandstorm. A flygon flew into sight, struggling to obey its master although there was obvious pain in its eyes. May's eyes widened even more as the fire focused on the flygon's trainer.
"Why! Why is Drew doing this?!" asked May, biting back tears. Christina looked away.
"...look at his eyes..." she whispered. Drew's eyes, usually a brilliant emerald green was now a murky deep green.
"Why...why are his eyes like that?"
"Him." Christina answered, failing to hold back a trace of anger.
"He did it to Kyle too. That's why we're gone. I was trying to wake him up but...it was impossible for me. He needs to react strongly to the person," Christina looked at May seriously, "you..you might be able to save the ground sage. He loves you right?" May immediately blushed.
"I'll take that as a yes." She continued, amused. "That's good. Now wake him up!"
--
A pale grunt came from Eroe as he hit the floor. He couldn't hit Drew...that was a condition. He was never allowed to harm any sage.
"Arceus!" He jumped on a majestic white shadow and flew up as a dragonbreath suddenly crashed both of them into the ceiling into the sky.
"See...I told you...you wouldn't last..."
"DREW!!" The dark green eyes flickered toward the bubble May was in. "WAKE UP!" Drew's entire body trembled.
"Flygon...dragonbreath." The green dragon turned its head toward Drew and nodded. It changed direction and faced Conseiller.
"What?!" he exclaimed as a white misty beam suddenly surrounded him. He smirked. "You missed."
"I...know..." A black shadow suddenly materialized behind the lanky man and held him in a headlock.
"...you know...I don't mind when you mess up these people...but you destroyed my best friend...the one...I can't forgive you for that." Eroe looked down at the three men. He was waiting to see when Paul would show up.
The purple haired trainer began to mutter more things to Conseiller. The man was starting to sweat now.
"...I'm finished...I guess this is goodbye."
"...?!" A sudden black hole opened under them and as a purple lining outlined Paul, he let go of his hostage. As the hole disappeared, Drew looked up at May; she was still trapped.
"Didn't you say that he would be freed when he was defeated...?" accused Drew as he looked at Eroe floating above him. The man closed his eyes.
"...yes. I meant that when he was gone...the powers would disappear...as well as me."
"...no..." May whispered as he started to glow.
"See you." he finished and vanished.
"...wait..," May screamed as the protective bubble disappeared and she fell, "...huh? Am I supposed to be on something soft?"
"Could you get off me?"
"Paul..."
"Get off!"
"Ok, ok." Replied May sarcastically. As she got up, Drew hugged her.
"Is it over..?" she whispered through her tears.
"Yeah. It is."
--
Me: o.o I'M FINALLY DONE!! I wonder why it took me at least 5 hours...
May: What happened to Dawn?
Dawn: Yeah..what happened to me?
Me:...hm...I think you rescued Paul and ...uh...details, details.
Drew:...finally...it's finished.
Kimmy: It seems Drew's more relieved thatn you.
Drew: I'm going..
Me: He's a lost cause. Ignore him. Anyways...thanks for the readers that read to the end. By the way...just a note for the people that don't have an account on Fanfic, you can still review. Will I make an epilogue..?
Kimmy: .
May: Bye!
