Note: Day 4 of my trip and still no shiny Larvesta... Another thing that bugs me is I found a copy of Inazuma Eleven GO yet I can't afford it... Aargh, it's like finding a shiny yet not being able to catch it... Here's a short chappie that I thought up last night.
Rose's POV:
"N-no... I-it can't be!" Claire let out a horrified squeal.
I stood my ground. There was certainly something not normal with this Tyranitar. He seemed... normal enough to me, yet there was a heavy air about him.
"What can't be?" Sandra raised an eyebrow as she turned to Claire.
Celsus seemed to understand the gravity of the situation and kept silent for once.
"That... That Tyranitar..." Claire choked, "He... He's a shadow... now..."
"A... Shadow?" Sandra cocked her head sideways, "You don't mean... A Shadow Pokémon?"
"What do you mean... He's a shadow... now?" I carefully asked Claire, to which she cringed.
"He... He wasn't always like this!" Claire screamed, tears streaming out of her eyes, " He was... a friend!"
I looked back at Claire, she was practically breaking down now. I slowly walked to her, hoping to calm her down.
"He... He helped me escape back at the lab," she cried, "He was still a Larvitar then... He was... so innocent! We had escaped together, only to be recaptured after three days... Then, those thugs said that we were quite strong to have escaped... So they said they wanted to run some stuff on us... I just can't believe that he had to meet this fate!"
I slowly walked to Claire, but all of a sudden, a Sandstorm began to brew. I looked back to see the Tyranitar activating his Sand Stream ability. Without warning, he launched an attack similar to Stone Edge straight at me. He shot several shadowy pointed rocks straight at me. Upon impact, I felt a shearing pain impale my entire body.
"Claire! Get back!" I warned, shoving her away from the attack.
When the smoke cleared, the Tyranitar walked towards us, his face expressionless.
"Opponent detected... Survival rate 30 percent," he began to state, "Analyzing life forms... Species, Gardevoir, Gender, Female. Current attacks learned: Attract, Focus Blast, Psychic, and Thunderbolt. Warning, Focus Blast threat level at high... Priority elimination activate!"
The Tyranitar began to quickly charge at me, thinking I must be taken out first. I dodged him in time to remember what he had said about my moveset. Of course, I hadn't used my old tactic in a while... However, this shadow happens to be a male... I'm not particularly sure if this would work, but I launched an Attract at him.
The ray of hearts encircled him as he turned around. For a Shadow, he began to look confused.
"... Error... Error... Synchronize data crashing..." he began to state, albeit in a more panicked tone. The Tyranitar held up his hands as if he was having a headache.
I smiled as I began to launch a Focus Blast at him. I knew that he would not survive the attack. Being a Rock and Dark-type meant having to carry a huge burden against Fighting-type attacks.
I was so sure I had it all in the bag until Claire intervened and deflected my Focus Blast.
"Don't hurt him!" she cried, "He's just dreaming... I'm sure!"
"Claire! Get out! You don't understand!" Sandra began, grabbing Claire away.
"I'll get rid of this weather then!" Celsus joined in, bringing Rain with his Rain Dance.
"Rebooting complete, infatuation problem sent to vault," the Tyranitar continued, "Shadow Edge!"
The Tyranitar began to shoot the Stone Edge-like attack again. My yes widened, I remembered that shadow moves were actually normal attacks that were modified. If Stone Edge was devastating enough normally, it would ow hurt harder as a shadow. I've as shadow moves were super effective on all types.
"No! I'm sure he won't hurt me-AAAGGHH!" Claire screamed, being knocked away by the monstrous attack.
"Claire!" I screamed, angrily launching another Attract at him.
"Move detection... Attract... Accuracy: 100... Damage induced would be zero, side effects would include rising hormone activity," the Tyranitar stated as it twirled around and dodged the attack.
I began to snarl. That thing didn't even seem like a Pokémon anymore... It was like one of those human-made machines... They have reduced that being of life into a machine... A weapon.
I snarled, I would never forgive the humans that did this.
I began to hurl a Focus Blast at him, however, he dodged it and allowed Sandra to take the hit.
"Owww!" she squealed, knocked away by my powerful attack.
"Sorry!" I grunted, "This guy's... faster than I thought."
I began to use the same trick of launching Attract at him, but he gracefully spun around the attack, allowing it to instead strike Celsus.
"Erp!" Celsus yelped as the ray hit him.
"Oops!" I retorted, now beginning to sweat upon realizing that the Tyranitar had such good reflexes.
"Shadow Rush!" he growled as he charged forward towards me.
I immediately charged at him too, but at the last minute, I jumped and stepped on his shoulder, landing behind him.
"Hey, Rose..." Celsus flirted, "Forget about this battle... Let's just go over to the Café... I'm free tonight!"
"Buzz off!" I snarled at Celsus, who was now useless once struck by my Attract.
Sandra didn't look too happy after seeing Celsus in that condition, but she shrugged it off and tried to strike the Tyranitar with an Earth Power.
It managed to hit him, bringing him down to his knees.
I tried to finish the job with a Focus Blast, but just as I was about to fire it, Celsus had managed to tackle me and pin me on the ground.
"Aww... Ain't you just so cute!" Celsus began gushing.
"Ain't you annoying?" I snarled as I swatted him away, "Make yourself useful and just attack the Tyranitar!"
"Rose... Just... continue the fight!" Sandra snarled, inserting herself between Celsus and me.
"With pleasure," I smiled as I launched the Focus Blast.
Jut before the attack collided with him, he suddenly jumped up in the air. When the attack had passed, he landed down to the ground with such force.
"Earthquake!" he snarled.
I yelped as the pain inflicted on me stung, however, everyone else was unaffected.
The Tyranitar shuffled closer, "Shadow-"
"Wake up!" Claire suddenly cried, hugging the Tyranitar, "Please! Don't hurt us! You HAVE to remember me!"
He snarled and immediately Crunched Claire, disposing of her immediately.
"You've crossed the line now!" Sandra scowled as she let lose another Earth Power at the Tyranitar.
"You've crossed my heart now," Celsus blushed as he flew around me.
"You've crossed me now," I angrily swatted Celsus away... He was beginning to bug me... And it was not because he was a Bug-type.
The Tyranitar screamed in agony.
"Health at 20%... Must attack..." he snarled as he edged forward to Crunch me.
I dodged the attack and jumped over him. Seeing that he was out of balance, I took the opportunity to launch another Attract at him.
"Attract affliction... Warning... System failure... Combat mechanics shutting down... Emotion filter shutting down... AI Conscience shutting down... Rebooting," the Tyranitar stated in confusion.
I smiled.
"It's over now!" I snarled as I slammed a Focus Blast down at the Tyranitar.
The Shadow Pokémon was knocked back by the super effective attack, defeating him.
Sandra smiled as she sat down.
"Phew! We're safe now, right?" Sandra smiled, slowly picking Celsus up.
"Yeah, Miss Gardevoir... I hope it's safe to ask you now if I can take you out," Celsus flirted, only to be interrupted by Sandra, who gave him a small smack.
"Oww... What was that for, dear?" Celsus groaned, rubbing the spot with his antenna.
"For hitting on Rose... Now quit it," Samdra impatiently snapped.
I lowly walked over to the Tyranitar to check if he was alright. However, when I looked at him, he still had the same expressionless face.
I then remembered the Legend of Orre... Shadow Pokémon still had to be purified in other for them to return to their normal state. However, purifying them would take a great deal of effort...
I looked up to the sky.
"Hey! Can you hear me?" I yelled to the sky, "Jirachi! I plan on claiming my wish now! Purify this Tyranitar!"
Nothing happened.
"Uh... Rose? You had a wish remaining?" Sandra asked.
"Yeah, he communicated through telepathy and owed me one more wish, I doubt he can grant it from this far though..." I rolled my eyes.
Suddenly, a flash of light coated the Tyranitar... After the light had faded, I heard a small mischievous voice ring at the back of my head.
"Wish granted, eeheehee!" it teased.
The Tyranitar began to slowly stand up.
"U-ugh... My head hurts," he groaned, he opened his eyes to see Claire fainted on the ground.
"C-Claire? Is that you?" he hurried to her, "My, you've grown... beautiful! I mean, CLAIRE! Are you awake?"
She opened one eye and began to cough.
"Y-you're back!" she smiled.
"W-what happened? We escaped, didn't we? Where are we now?" the Tyranitar scratched his head in confusion.
"It looks like I have a lot of explaining to do," I stated.
"Come to think of it," Sandra suddenly interjected, "We ought to hurry home for now... Blade might be already done with his quest... We have to get back to let the others know..."
I nodded.
"Right," I mused, "I wonder just how did Blade's journey turn out..."
"Oh... I dunno," Sandra giggled, "Just know that Ruse and Violet are accompanying him."
"Oh, those serpents! They had better back off my Blade!" I snarled.
"Oho! Did you just say that out loud?" Celsus smiled.
"No! I meant," I began to swear, "Blade is mine to torment, she better not take my place..."
"Oh well, only one way to find out..." Sandra smirked, "Let's go home..."
I merely nodded, thoughts of what that dastardly Ruse could have done to Blade...
Wait for me, Blade... I know that somewhere, right now, you are also in the same situation... with that other thief...
This time... it's my turn to apprehend the thief! Until then, please don't let her steal your heart!
Note: Oh well, Blade's turn is coming soon... So is the end of my trip... I hope I can come home with either a shiny or a good game... Leave a review if you please, guys, I do love your opinions. Seeya then, till next time.
