SERVE! Read, review and enjoy! Oh and keep a look out for the special point-of-view exclusive to this chapter!

(Kate)

Just like that, Keith was gone. That look in his eyes….he was terrified. He thought he actually hurt me. Oh Keith…

"Kate!" Sven ran over, helping me up. "You ok?"

"I'm fine." I told him, Wave and Chia climbing on my shoulders.

"Aw man I can't believe Mer'du came back." Sven sighed.

"Mer'du? No that wasn't Mer'du!" I said. "That was Ke…"

"If he gets into Pueltown, he'll wreck havoc all over." Sven interrupted. "We've got to go after him!"

"Er…right!" I agreed. "We'll capture him and try to tame him!"

"Kate…" Sven looked over at me with a serious expression. "Mer'du has killed many people and pokemon over the years, you included. There's been recent sightings that were tracked by me and a few of the Union members. We've agreed that if we see him, we have to euthanize him."

"WHAT!" I exclaimed. "But we can't kill him!"

"I'm sorry." Sven looked away. "Mer'du is a danger to everyone and in the long run, we'll be doing more good than bad."

"That wasn't Mer'du, Sven! Mer'du's a salamence!" I tried to tell him. "Please don't kill that flygon!"

Sven wasn't listening. He looked out the window, focused on what was on his mind. After a moment, Sven looked at me with a determined face.

"Sorry but I'm doing this for your own good." Sven said.

I couldn't respond. Instead Sven was force-pushing me out of my room. He opened the closet on the other side of the hallway.

"I'm keeping you here till everythings safe again." Sven shoved me inside. "Don't worry. We'll make sure to take care of Mer'du."

"SVEN WAIT!"

Slam! Click!

Damn! He locked the door. And that sneak slipped my styler off when I wasn't looking. I pounded on the door as loud as I can.

"SVEN! Someone! Let me out of here!" I screamed. "Please stop! Don't kill him!"

I kept screaming and pounding but to no use. Sven would've gathered several other rangers and would go after Mer'du. Only it wasn't Mer'du that Sven saw. That was Keith. And if they got ahold of him….

"Keith…" Tears started streaming down my face. "No ….please no…KEITH!"

My knees started feeling like jelly. I slid down to the floor, unable to do anything but cry.

(Special: Chia)

I never saw Kate looking so upset before. She must've really cared about Keith. And if we didn't get out of the closet in time, Keith could be killed. Or the spell would never be broken. But how? How do we get out of the closet in time?

"Chia!"

I found Wave had climbed over some boxes and was near the top of the ceiling. He opened a small vent entrance, one that we could squeeze through.

"Wave, you're a genius!" I said, starting to go after him.

"Let's go!" He responded.

I leapt from box to box, supply to supply and all sorts of crazy stuff. Once I reached Wave's point, we ducked into the small vent together. Now all we had to do was crawl through to the entrance vent in the hallway. Then unlock the door, get Kate out and go save Keith!

"Er…Chia?"

I glanced at Wave. He seemed hesitant, nervous.

"Yeah?" I blinked.

"Well…I promised Keith I would do something and um…" Wave stumbled over his words. "Maybe I should. I should tell you the truth…"

"What are you talking about?" I questioned.

"…..Chia…..I'm falling in love with you." Wave confessed.

….

"I know I'm not an electric type or a powerful pokemon like Zap." Wave told me. "But I still care about you. And I want to be by your side. You're great to be with and you have a 'shocking' personality."

….

"I…I just wanted to let you know how I felt." Wave looked down. "We better get back to rescuing Kate…"

"Wait!" I stopped while Wave walked on ahead slowly. "Wave? Aren't you going to wait for my answer?"

Wave paused but didn't look back.

"I love you too." I said.

"You do?" Wave spun around.

"Mhm." I blushed. "You were my first love. But I thought you'd only like water type pokemon. So I tried to make myself fall for someone else, like Zap."

I could see Wave tearing up. Not exactly the manliest pokemon but he was a real sweetheart. No one else was really like him. He was different from any other pokemon I've met and I liked everything about him. This was a pokemon I'd stand by with forever. Wave came to me and nudged my forehead lovingly.

"Thank you." he whispered.

"Once this is all over, I'd be honored to be your mate." I said.

"You mean it?" Wave looked up.

"Of course." I replied. "I wouldn't want to be with anyone else."

"Then we shall." Wave nodded. "First things first, we have to get our love-bird rangers back together."

"Off we go!" I giggled.

In a minute or two, we reached the right vent and opened it up. The drop down wasn't as high as I anticipated. I could hear the small sobs, leading me to the closet door. Oh…..right. The doorknob was high for us small pokemon. Didn't think this far.

"Allow me." Wave flipped me onto his back.

"Thank you kindly." I told him.

He stood up nice and tall. I managed to scramble up and jump to the doorknob. Not a hard lock. All I had to do was just twist and open! Aha! Success!

"Kate!" I leap down and push the door open.

She gasped and looked at us in shock. Her face was a little red from all the crying.

"Come on!" Wave poked his head in. "We've got a redhead to save!"

Kate wiped the remaining tears away and smiled.

"You guys are great partner pokemon." She chuckled.

"Onwards and outwards!" I cheered.

Off to save Keith! Can they reach him before the rangers do?
