Hey guys! Another chapter has been made! Enjoy and please review.
(Thid Person POV - Lyra)
Lyra shivered and closed her arms tighter around herself. She decided she really didn't like this forest. It was dark, it was cold and she really wanted to be out of here. Not even the warmth of Pyros's flames seemed to do her much good.
She shivered.
Crack.
She froze, heart pounding wildly in her chest.
Breathe, she told herself. Breathe. It was probably just some Pokémon. Not some killer ax guy… not…
Oh yes it was! Who are you kidding? You've already proven that people can be sucked into a game, why wouldn't it be some sort of mass murderer lurking in the forest waiting for you?
Don't be silly… that wouldn't… I mean it was probably just a one time thing…
Crack.
OmiGodOmiGodOmiGodOmiGodIt'samassmurdererI'mgoingtodie.
It's coming! No, it sounds so close already. OmiGod we're going to die—you're going to die—it's coming closer!
Nonononono! I didn't want to die!
Fear pulsing through her, she felt the air around her drop a few degrees. She shivered and beside her she felt Pyros tense.
She felt like someone was right behind her.
OmiGodOmiGodOmiGod.
"NO I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Lyra screamed as she swung around abruptly and kicked out at whoever was behind her.
Her foot connected with something solid and a grunt was heard. Lyra's eyes widened and she paled considerably.
Darkrai.
She just kicked a Darkrai.
"I'm so dead," she breathed.
An icy blue eye stared into her own. "Relax, girl. I am not—"
"You're here to kill me, aren't you?" Lyra asked, panic bubbling in her gut.
"I am not—"
"Oh my God, I knew this was too good to be true and now you're here to take from this world and—and—"
"Would you listen? I am not—"
"I'm going to miss you, Pyros, I'm going to miss Eternity too… Oh my God I can't believe I'm actually going to die."
"Girl."
"I mean I knew—"
"Girl!"
"—that this day would—"
"Girl!"
"j—come and all but it just seems so sudden and—"
"Girl!"
Lyra's eyes widened and she shut her mouth quickly at the less than pleased voice. Darkrai's single eye narrowed. "I am not here to kill you. I was sent here by Arceus."
"What?" Lyra asked, blinking vapidly.
"A boy, Ryan I believe, has tempered with this world. Creatures that should never have existed are being created constantly. Copies of us span across the countries, and while our copies stand in our homelands, we cannot return there. Legendaries are being cast out from their homes, unable to stop their copies."
"What?" Lyra asked again, still not quite getting it. Creatures? Like the one she and Hilbert encountered before—the hacked Pokémon? And by copies of legendaries, did that mean there were hacked legendaries roaming around? What did that have to do with Darkrai though? What did that have to do with her?
"Arceus pulled two more from the world Ryan came from. You and your friend. He could sense the potential in each of you. He sent I and one other to come to you—I am Darkrai, your partner."
"My… partner?"
Pyros eyed Darkrai carefully.
Darkrai didn't glance at him, choosing to stare at me apathetically. "For whatever reason Arceus believed I would be best suited to accompany you. Personally I do not see why he did not send Entei or another—"
But his words were lost on Lyra, the word partner was still ringing in her ears. Darkrai. Her favorite legendary Pokémon was her partner. Oh this was just… she never… she always hoped and…
Darkrai didn't get a chance to continue as Lyra lurched towards him, wrapping her arms around his torso and hugging him tightly. "Oh this is so awesome! We're going to be best friends and it's going to be awesome and this is just so awesome! And did I mention how awesome this was? Because it is, it so is."
"I… what?"
Darkrai stared dumbly at the girl who was grinning so largely and hugging tightly to him. Feeling distinctly uncomfortable, he shifted slightly and tried to pry her away from him. She clung to him like a particularly nasty leech.
"Release me child."
"Never!" Lyra declared passionately.
Darkrai felt a sigh building up in him.
But it never went out. He didn't get hugged very often.
It was very nice.
Hilbert's POV
"Lyra!" I called out for my friend.
We got lost...again but this time in Illex Forest. Illex Forest was always a dark and cold place. It was so cold, I had to switch Leafy with Guts so I could just hold on to him. Guts didn't mind, but he looked like he would attack anything that would come in sight. I thought i heard something but I dismissed it. It's not like a murderer will come out...right? Suddenly, Guts jumped out of my arms and went ahead of me.
"Guts
"OW! What was that for you idiot!"
I opened looked up and saw that Guts had scratched the face of... A MEWTWO?!
"You're a Mewtwo!" I said in surprise.
"Yes I am. Now can you call off your teddy bear before I seriously hurt you both?" the legendary Pokémon said as he was glaring at Guts, who was motioning his paw toMewtwo, as if he was saying Come at me bro!.
"I am so done for," I said, with fear in my voice.
I just made
"You do realize I am not going to kill you right?" Mewtwo said.
"Really? " I asked hopefully.
"Really. Now can I explain to why I am here wtihout getting attacked by another teddy bear?" Mewtwo asked.
"Go ahead. I'm not stopping you," I said, with Guts glaring at Mewtwo. Mewtwo then began to explain (ignoring Guts).
"Ryan had created a very troublesome situation since he began abusing his abilities. He created... wrong things. With these abominations, many are forced out of their homes. Including us legendaries. Arceus decided to bring two more from the world Ryan came from. You and your friend. He could sense the potential in each of you. He sent me and another legendary to come to yo and you're friend. I, Mewtwo, am your partner."
"Wait, you want to come with me and be my friend?" Hilbert asked, shocked.
"Unless being a partner means something different these days," Mewtwo said dryly.
"Well then, I am glad you are coming along." I said.
"Can you tell me your name?" Mewtwo asked.
"My name is Hilbert." I said.
"Nice to meet you. I will now help you find you're friend and the exit. And by the way, you might want to know that I may say a lot of words you may not understand." Mewtwo said.
"Right, let's go." I said as Lyra came into my mind once more.
Finally! We made it to the exit! I could have jumped for joy, but I was concern for Lyra. Will she be okay? I paced back and forth with Guts and Mewtwo watching me.
"Don't worry. She is coming." Mewtwo assured me.
"How can you be so sure?" I asked, desperate to find my friend again.
"I sense her coming...along with the other legendary." Mewtwo responded.
Sure enough, Lyra came into view. She was traveling with Pyros and... A DARKRAI?! Lyra always told me that she loved Darkrai. I am serious, she even stated that she was Darkrai's number 1 fan. Whenever I battled her, the one Pokémon I would always find in her team would be Darkrai. It seemed like she was hanging on to him...literally.
"You're alright!" I said with joy.
"Of course I am!" Lyra said with a smile.
Darkrai looked uncomfortable, being hugged all the way here. Mewtwo then started laughing at the other legendary, forcing him to seem a bit flustered.
"I never knew you had a fan, Darkrai," Mewtwo said with a chuckle.
Darkrai muttered to himself but I couldn't hear anything. Then I remembered something. What if other trainers try and catch Mewtwo and Darkrai? I think now was the best time to ask if they will let them be caught in Pokéballs.
"Hey you two? You guys may need to go into Pokéballs," I said.
Upon hearing those words, Mewtwo and Darkrai sighed.
"I was afraid of this, but we do not have a choice," Mewtwo sighed.
"Alright. Throw the Pokéballs," Darkrai sighed dejectedly as well.
We wasted no time and threw our Pokéballs(seriously, Lyra was beaming with joy at the prospect of catching Darkrai). Mewtwo and Darkrai did not resist. The Pokéballs shook until they stopped with a Ping! We had caught two legendary Pokémon! We smiled as we grabbed our Pokéballs and hurried to the next gym.
"Hello! My name is Whitney and I am the gym leader!" Whitney exclaimed.
We both said hi to the gym leader. She seemed very energetic.
"So who is going to battle me?" Whitney asked.
"I will," Lyra chirped as I went to sit on the stands.
The referee came in and did his usual speech. Then he yelled for the battle to begin.
"Go Clefairy!" Whitney called out.
"Go Pyros!" Lyra called out.
The two Pokémon came out and were staring at each other, both determined not to lose to the other.
"Pyros use Ember!" Lyra said to her Pokémon.
"Dodge and then use Metranome!" Whitney commanded.
Clefairy quickly dodged Pyros's attack and started to waggle her fingers. When she stopped, she started hopping around. The move was Splash and she would not stop. So Whitney had to call her back and was considered a forfeit. She then sent out a Milktank.
"Milktank! Use Rollout!" Whitney yelled to her Pokémon.
Milktank rolled itself into a ball and began charging at Pyros with high speed. Pyros got hit and flew to the wall.
"Pyros!" Lyra exclaimed, her eyes wide with worry.
Pyros jumped back on the field with anger in his eyes. His flames grew larger than before. I knew what was happening: Blaze has activated. The Milktank charged at Pyros, ready to finish him. Then Pyros did something surprising. Pyros rolled into a ball as fire soon engulfed him. Lyra must have known what to do because she had a look of realization on her face.
"Use Flame Wheel!" Lyra ordered.
The two Pokémon rolled at each other. When they made contact, an explosion was made. When the smoke cleared, Pyros was panting heavily over a fainted Milktank. I cheered for Lyra as Whitney cried in defeat. Whitney gave Lyra her badge and told me to challenge her (she first healed her Pokémon, of course.) I also defeated her and we both walked out of the gym, with two shiny badges. Whitney though...let's just say that waterfalls were coming down her eyes.
