Finally got this chappie up. I haven't been working very much, since I've been a little depressed and tired since school started, and I've been starting to loose interest in things I used to like to do. A very common sign of depression. Though I'm not 100, I'm feeling a lot better, I've had a little counseling and I'm starting to feel like my old self again. And that used to be the driving age, but where I am they recently changed it… oh well two more years. : P

Now that I'm back in story mode, you should expect more updates. Maybe not as frequent as they used to be, but they'll gradually get better. I promise!

You really think so Cool Dude? I'd love to write another one like this, but I already took a HUGE risk with this one. Do you know how many people out there would be like. "OMG, you made (insert legendaries name here) GAY!? You're gay, now get a life!!". Really, I don't know if I could have the guts to do another one.

BTW, Attila. I think last chapter I said you'd see a lot more of Darkrai, but I really meant this chapter. Forgive me on that.

Now that I'm at chapter seventeen, I really can't believe I've been working on this story for over a year and it's slowly coming to it's end. I already have the whole ending laid out, I just can't wait to revel the grand finale.

Entei's POV

I chased that ship for what seemed like miles, weaving in and around trees and jumping clear across small canyons. I lost Bullet a long time ago, she couldn't fallow me across a wide river, but I didn't stop for her. The pads on my paws started to split as I ran on sharp rocks and twigs. I think I might have even stepped on a Sandslash along the way, but I didn't stop. Eventually, after running out of energy I collapsed on the in the soft grass. I wanted to get up and keep going, but the grass was just… so soft…my paws and chest burned like Ho-Oh's sacred fire. I felt like I ran clear across Johto into Kanto around Sinnoh and back. A pool of blood started to form on the ground, I could tell it was from my paws. I groaned and lapped at my footpads, cleaning some of the blood up.

"Great… now what…" I panted out as I stared up at the sky. It was about noon now, I could tell by the sun's spot in the sky. I'd never felt so weak and powerless before. I was ment to be able to do anything. I god like me should not be lying around in the dirt while one of his favorite companions gets dragged away by humans. I tried to lift myself from the ground, by my paws burned too much to do it. In the distance, I could hear hoof beats on the ground. It sounded like Bullet, but someone was with her.

"Entei!" She called picking up speed. I glanced over at her.

"Are you alright?" She said nudging me with her nose. I pushed her away with my paw, but I accidentally transferred some of the blood onto her. She gasped.

"You're bleeding!" She cried nearly jumping a foot back. I sighed, she could e so dramatic sometimes. Its like she's never seen blood before!

"No duh I'm bleeding genius! I ran half way around Johto looking for Lugia! Your feet would be bleeding too!" I groaned turning away from her. I wasn't angry with her, actually to tell you the truth I was a little angry with myself. It wasn't like me to be angry with myself, I'm usually angry at everyone but myself.

"But… I ran with you…"Bullet said nudging me again, running her nose through my fur. I groaned at the pain in my legs from running and rolled over. Arceus was there staring down at me. I started to get up.

"No, stay down Entei. You're to badly injured to keep running." He said staring down at me. I didn't hesitate to get back down on the ground. Split paws pads where agonizing, so I didn't want to irritate them anymore. I sighed in frustration; humans had never been so strong before.

"I know what you're thinking. The humans are just so strong… I didn't expect them to get that powerful myself…" Arceus said sighing. Humans where the absolute worse creation ever. I guarantee, if they hadn't been invented everything would be a lot cleaner and safer.

"Arceus, what are they going to do to Lugia?" I said glancing at Bullet. She was already staring down at me. There was obvious concern in her eyes. I turned back to Arceus.

"You can never really be sure. One thing I do know is that we need to get to them before they do anything serious."

Ninja's POV

Houdini and I had been transported to what seemed like another world. Where exactly we where, not even Houdini knew. Though the scenery was overall normal, trees grass etcetera, the aura of the area was something that we weren't used to. Whether it came from an individual creature or from the entire place, I couldn't tell, but what I did know is that it was making me on edge.

"Houdini, hat do you make of this hole journey… what does it all mean?" I asked suddenly. He stopped and glanced at me.

"You know… I'm normally an in depth thinker…but honestly I don't know." He said sitting down against the trunk of an old oak tree. I decided to stop too, since my body was so tired.

"You know, this place has a really powerful aura about it… I can't quite put my finger on it." He said closing his eyes slightly.

"So, you felt it too."

"Yeah, and I'm really wondering what it could be all about." Just then, there was a cry from deep in the forest. It was high and sharp, somewhat similar to a flying types cry. Instinctively we got up, running towards the sound. It wasn't very smart, but it sounded like someone was in trouble. When we finally managed to break through the thick shrub, what we saw shocked us. A Pokemon, probably over fifteen feet in height was inside some sort of orb of energy. The orb was clear and crystal like, and it was hooked up to some sort of machine.

The Pokemon seemed to be a flying type, though it's tail looked like it could be for swimming. The feathers where a striking silvery color that sparkled every time it moved. Though I wanted to get closer, fear held me back.

"Houdini… I think this is where the aura is coming from…" I whispered backing away. Houdini didn't budge, his gaze was locked on the silver Pokemon and it didn't seem like he was going anywhere.

"P-lease…please I bed you… turn of the machine!" The Pokemon pleaded suddenly. His cried of anguish startled us both, nearly sending us running. We stayed put however, standing in absolute shock.

"Didn't you hear? Turn it off!"

"Houdini, I think we should really turn this thing off, we gotta help!" I said motioning towards the machine. Though I wasn't exactly sure how to operate human machinery, I had to do something. I turned to Houdini.

"Well… maybe we should attack it." I said getting ready to fire my attack. I inhaled deeply, getting ready to let loose an overheat attack, just then the silver Pokemon cried out.

"No, don't!" He yelped, but it was too late. My attack slammed into the machine. I couldn't stop it at this point, and it only made matters worse. Something odd began creeping trough the orb. It looked like a black bolt of lighting. It flickered trough the orb, striking at the silver bird. He cried out in pain as more and more bolts began to build up, causing an amazing show of shadowy lights. All me and Houdini could do was watch as the entire machine was swallowed in an explosion of darkness sending the silver Pokemon tumbling to the ground. Instantly we ran to his aid.

"Oh my Arceus.. Ninja what did you do!" He said touching the silver birds head. He didn't respond, had I killed him?

"I…" Was all I could manage as I looked down at his lifeless body. He didn't even seem to be breathing, but a small twitch brought my hopes back up. The silver Pokemon's body heaved slightly as he sat up, his head swung from side to side in a daze.

"Excuse me… are you alright?" I asked gently. He didn't seem to be quite right yet.

"Are you alright?" I repeated. This time his eyes opened slightly.

"Wh-wha?" He pondered as he scanned the area. His gaze fell on me.

"You…" He said standing up to his full height. My heart nearly stopped as he towered above me.

"I'm sorry! I really am, I didn't mean to shock you!" I cried apologetically. My body shivered as I cowered in his shadow. I expected to be attacked or stricken, but nothing came.

"I'm not going to attack you… I'm the one who brought you here." He said with a soft smile. Me and Houdini exchanged confused glances before looking back up at the mammoth flying type.

"You sent for us?" I questioned cocking my head to the side.

"Yes, sent for you to come and rescue me. My name is Lugia… the legendary guardian of the sea."

"Wait, why me? Why us?" My asked pondering the subject. With all of his legendary friends, he could've easily sent for someone else.

"It's hard to explain, but trust me… It was absolutely necessary to choose you for this." He said sitting back down. He seemed a little weak.

"Are you alright?" I asked coming to his aside again. He seemed to be in pain.

"Lugia, let us help you." Houdini commanded, but Lugia turned away.

"Our time together has been brief… but you need to get out of here…" He said clutching his stomach with his wings. My and Houdini exchanged concerned glances.

"Get out of here….before…." He whimpered curling into a tight ball. His eyes began to glow slightly red and his feathers began to change from their normal silver shade to a darker shade until it appeared entirely black.

"Go…go find Dialga…" He said in a weak tone of voice. I hadn't a clue in my mind who or what a Dialga was, but before I got a chance to ask Lugia let out a roar that shook the earth. His crimson eyes fell on us, narrowing dangerously.

"You go now… or you die!" He hissed in a dangerous tone of voice. The transformation was so sudden that we didn't have a chance to ask any questions. As quickly as we came, we left without another word.

Suicune's POV

My eyes blinked open and I looking around. I was lying in the center of a cold, metallic room. There where walls of steel towering over my head. Even the ceiling was made of steel, and the only way out was a door and a window of glass. My body trembled as I got up, this time my muscles where screaming in pain. I wasn't sure if I fought Darkrai that night or not, but I know I had a battle with something.

"I have to get out of here…" I said wandering slowly over to the steel door. My muscles twitched with every movement I made. It felt as if I'd never make it to the door, but I did. I examined it, but it had no handle or anything. In a desperate attempt to leave, I pushed it with my head. It didn't even budge.

"I gotta get out of here…" I repeated turning to the window. Since it was glass, I could probably get out through there. With all of my might, I rushed the window and met it with a tackle. Something odd happened when I did this, instead of breaking the glass pushed back against me with MORE force! In my panic, I began to do everything I could to get out.

"I need to get out! I need to GO!" I growled firing I Hydropump at the glass window. The water from the attack seemed to caught in an array of energy. It balled up and spiraled back towards me, slamming into my body with an unbelievable amount of power. Though it was only water, it felt like being tackled by a two toned Tauros. I was blasted backwards and I slammed into the wall behind me. Though water never really hurt me, this attack was unbelievable. I was guessing it doubled my attack's power and sent it back. I groaned and got up slowly from the ground.

"I need to get out…" I whispered staggering to the left a little. I charged the glass again, but it repeated the previous action and flung me like I was a little bug. I tried to get up, but my legs buckled under my weight. I dropped to the ground, my muscles heaved in pain.

"You can't get out that way." A familiar voice said from behind me. It was deep and definitely masculine. That's when I realized who it was. Fear surged through my body and I was suddenly able to muster the strength to lift pick myself up.

"Darkrai!" I yelped backing away. I didn't want to fight with a friend, but if I had to defend myself I would. I lowered my body close to the ground, ready to counter anything he threw at me. That's when I noticed his eyes weren't bloody red like before.

"You're not going to attack me, are you?" I said letting my guard down.

"As long as you don't attack me." He said coming closer. I breathed a sigh of relief and ran to meet him at the center of the room. It sure was great to see a familiar face, especially if he wasn't going to blow my head off.

"It's good to see you again, Darkrai."

"It's good to see you again as well. How has everything been, how are the others?"

"You mean Cresselia?" I said jokingly. His narrowed his eyes dangerously at me.

"No! I me

"This is a human laboratory. I'm not exactly sure what they're up to… but…" He said stopping suddenly. I glanced up at him.

"But what?"

"But, I think they're trying to take legendry Pokemon and turn them against each other. What' they've been doing to me… well… after they gave me a needle…"

"What's a needle?" I said cutting him off suddenly. I hadn't meant to be rude, I was just curious.

"I needle is a human interment used for many things. They're extremely thin metal tool used for many things. Sometimes people use them to repair clothing; sometimes they use it to repair wounds that wouldn't heal otherwise. There are even needles that can hold fluids, and they use them to pump medicines and other things like that into your blood."

"Which one did they use on you?"

"The last one. They used it to give me some sort of chemical. It changed my entire view of the world, but only when it was necessary." He said looking down at the cold, metallic floor. I blinked curiously.

"So, they've been controlling you?"

"Well, you don't see the world the way you used to. It's hard to explain, but it's like a strange, violent rage. It's almost like you've been built to kill and serve the humans."

"No, you have your own free will, but they change the way you view everything." He said with a sigh. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I wasn't sure if I should have been afraid or not. If Darkria's mind was the way he said it was, then he could have turned on me at any second. Just then, there was a loud crash. I nearly jumped out of my skin when that happened. I turned to the door and I could see humans in white suits pouring through. Instantly, I turned to attack but I felt an odd feeling flood through my body. It was a dark, stunning sensation that kept me from moving.

I glanced over at Darkrai, and that's when I noticed that the crimson coloring had returned to his eyes. He was casting a shadow over my body and it was somehow holding me in place.

"Darkrai! Let me go!" I cried struggling against the power. The humans ran in and began to grab hold of me, grasping various parts of my body. Pretty soon I couldn't move any part of my body.

"Hold it down! You know what it's capable of!" One of the men called to his companions.

A growl rumbled in my through as I continued to struggle. That's when one of the men that had a hold of my leg jabbed me with something sharp. I gasped.

"A needle…" I whispered to myself. Fluid was forced into my body and burned at me vein. I let out a howl and struggled harder. I'm not sure if the sound of my distress had awoken Darkrai, but suddenly the odd red coloring had faded. He blinked and stared at me for a second.

"Suicune?" He said releasing his shadow grasp on me. I managed to break free from the humans at that point. My eyes narrowed down at them as a rose up on my hind legs and roared. The sound shook the entire building and my height had nearly doubled. Then men ran screaming from the room, not one of them looked back. I caught my breath, shaken by the sudden chaotic moment.

"Are you alright? I didn't mean to…"

"No, no I'm fine. I mean, it's not like you could help it." I said shaking my head. The hairs in my mane settled back in their place. I reached down and licked the spot where the needle had been forced under my skin. It didn't hurt much now, but I still felt a little worried. When I looked at Darkrai, he seemed a little concerned too.

"Umm, Suicune… you really shouldn't touch it…" He said abruptly. I raised an eye brow at him.

"Why not?"

"Well, because you might… anger it…." Anger it? Since when was it possible to anger a flesh wound? I looked back down at it, and I noticed that the skin around it had started to turn red in color.

"What's it doing?"

"Oh, no…" He said backing away slightly.

"What? Oh no what?"

"That's bad… that is really, really bad…" His voice sounded fearful, which was odd to hear since Darkrai wasn't afraid of many things. I started to get up, but a pain shot through my leg and I cried out. The burn continued to spread further.

"D-darkrai…."

"Don't panic! Increasing your heart rate will make it circulate faster!" My body began to tremble and ach. An odd sensation of anger stirred inside of me, sending my mind spiraling into a series of twisted thoughts. Everything began spinning; my blood pulsed through my veins faster and faster. My paws flew to my head as my body began to shake uncontrollably.

"Suicune! You have to control the rage!" Darkrai called to me, but by now my senses where long gone. I lifted myself from the ground, growling slightly as I did so. My fangs where bared as I cornered Darkrai, ready to tear him limb from limb.

"Suicune, d-don't make me hurt you." He said lifting a hand to me. A black orb known as dark void formed, but I didn't fear it. I didn't fear Darkrai, or any human at that. I stepped closer to him, my eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Try me." I growled clicking my claws on the cold metallic floor. With a swift sudden movement, I tackled him, slamming him into the steel wall. My claws dug into his shoulders keeping him locked in one place. I didn't know what the strange sensation flowing through my veins was, but I felt powerful… invincible even.

Darkrai flung me back with Dark pulse. It swarmed through my body and locked me in place. I growled deeply as the pulsing pain surged through me. Though normally it would've made me unable to fight, I felt unbelievably powerful. I lunged again, ready finish him when suddenly he cast a spell of darkness on me. I'm not sure if it was actually dark void, but whatever it was it put me in a trance so strong, not even my dark side could break trough.

Bark's POV

Our team ran trough the forest, desperately trying to locate Suicune. This was all my fault for forcing him to get intimate… I should have never done that and I knew it. I ran further ahead of the group, faster than I'd ever ran before. By now my legs felt like rocks from running, but I couldn't stop.

"Suicune, where are you! Please, Suicune!" I cried desperately trying to get an answer. In an instant, my nose was to the ground again, searching for any signs of his scent. Then I found it, and thought it was faint.. it was still there… and it was still him.

"Suicune!" I called dashing through the bushes. I knew it was him, it had to be him. My body all of a sudden had an extra boost of energy and I darted at full speed trough shrubs and bushes. When his scent was nearer, I skidded to a stop.

"Suicune, where are you! Stop playing games!" I growl demandingly. It wasn't like me to command anyone anything, but I was so worried I couldn't think straight. With an aggravated growl I continued my search.

"Wait, Bark!" I heard Quil call from behind me, but I was to frustrated to wait for him.

"Bark, will you listen to me for a second!?"

"Some things are more important than listening to what you have to say. Actions speak way louder than words!" I growled at him. I know I shouldn't have, but if he knew how worried I was he'd understand.

"Bark, we already found Suicune!" His snapped. My heart leapt and I nearly tackled him to the ground.

"Where, tell me where!" I demanded. Even Quil was a little surprised at my behavior. He slowly lead me back to the area where they located him. We wandered through thick bush and walked to a small clearing of trees. What I saw nearly made me flip. Suicune was there, but he was knocked out, and he seemed like he'd been in a fight. And not only that, he was there with Darkrai. Instantly, my mind started jumping to conclusions. My instincts took over and I tackled Darkrai into the ground, snarling as I did so.

"What did you do to him! What did you do!" I more commanded then asked. There was no fear in his eyes, and I couldn't smell it in the air. I'd failed to intimidate him, but that wouldn't stop me from maiming him. I bared my fangs, ready to strike when I felt someone pull me off him. It was Cresselia, the psychic type that was traveling with us.

"Bark, stop! Darkrai is a friend!" He said pulling me further away from the blue eyed dark type. My scowl didn't fade, but some of my tension did. I looked from Cresselia to Darkrai.

"Why should I trust him!?" I growled in a low tone of voice.

"Look, Bark, Darkrai didn't mean to hurt Suicune!"

"How could you unintentionally fight someone!?"

"I didn't fight him!" Darkrai cut in. My eyes locked with his.

"Oh yeah? What makes you think I'll believe that! What about before, what about when you attacked us!"

"It wasn't me, I swear it!"

"Now that's just lame, how many Darkrai do you know besides yourself!"

"Stop!" Cresselia cut in. The bickering ceased as all eyes fell on her.

"Look, I'm sure there's a reason why Darkrai did what he did…. I mean… he can be a jerk sometimes…" She said glancing towards Darkrai. The Dark type shot her a glare and she simply smirked back.

"But, that doesn't make him a bad guy, Bark… now you can go stay with Suicune and I'll try to get this straightened out." She said motioning towards Suicune, but Darkrai spoke up.

"Uh, Cresselia… I don't think that's such a good idea…"

"Like I'll believe you anyway!" I growled before Cresselia could say anything. More than anything, I just wanted to be near Suicune. I don't know why, but I thought I'd die if I spent another second away from him. He lay motionless on the ground. I wasn't sure how badly he was hurt, It hurt me to see him this way, it really did. I had to be close to him, I just had to.

I wandered over towards him, positioning my body gently on the dirt, but what happened next shocked me. In a split second, Suicune jaws clamped around my paw. I yelped in pain and surprise as his fangs sunk deeper into my flesh. His head shook from side to side, growling wildly and as soon as it had happened, it was done. Suicune darted off into the forest, disappearing from site in a mere second. Blood had begun to pool on the soil where he had been laying. I started to lick it tenderly, and though it eased up the pain in my leg… it didn't come close to the pain in my heart. Suicune had never, ever intentionally tried to hurt me, but this time it seemed like he wanted my entire leg. Slowly, I rose from the ground limping the direction that Suicune had gone.

"Bark!" I heard Darkria's stern yell come from behind me. I glanced back slowly, barley making eye contact.

"If you go out there looking for him, he'll kill you!"

"He wont… I know he wont…" I said softly. Darkria's eyes narrowed, but I didn't pay any attention. Suicune was who I needed right now, and I was going to get him even if it ment putting myself in danger.

Ahhh, it feels good to be back. Please reveiw. ;D
