Hey guys sorry it took so long for the update, my oldies banned me off the computer. Lol. And sorry to the Lugia fans but he's not in this chapter but he will be in the next. So there's only one more thing to say, enjoy!
Chapter 5
Suicune's POV.
I lifted my head and yawned, it had taken me two days to get to the mountains and finally I was here, closer to destroying the thing that is ruining my world. I got up stretched and looked around the place that I had slept. It was dawn and some Yanma lazily floated over the lake that I had slept near and a large waterfall cascaded down into the lake. There was a yell and I smiled as I watched a Totodile jump from the top of the waterfall and let the water carry it downwards and it landed in the water safely and it laughed along with the rest of its Totodile mates. It looked like fun but I didn't want to try it I was bruised and battered up enough as it was and I didn't want any risk of injuries. I watched the bunch of Totodile run out of the lake and into the trees surrounding it; they must be going back to the top to do it again. I walked over to the waters edge and gulped down a couple mouthfuls of water. As the clear crystal water rushed down my throat I felt it rejuvenate some of my energy which I had been lacking. I heard something rustle in the trees behind me and I whirled around and saw a white and silver pokemon standing in-between two trees. It was an Absol, a very rare pokemon which I had seen only a couple of times before, we both stared into each others red eyes, it seemed like a staring contest and after fifty seconds it turned and disappeared into the trees. There was a look in that Absol's eyes as it had stared at me, it seemed to recognise me but I had never seen it before. When it was staring at me one of my memories from so long ago had resurfaced. It was when Raikou, Entei and I used to have staring contests, usually I was always the winner but sometime Entei and Raikou would cheat. That used to be one of my favourite memories; how we would always muck around and play and how Ho-oh would get angry at us because we were always slacking off and playing, we also played pranks on Ho-oh too and he'd go off at us afterwards. I had so many memories about us growing up, how one day Entei had call Raikou and I babies because we still kept on playing around a lot and how he clamed that he had supposedly matured; Raikou and I almost laughed ourselves to death when we heard that. We were always there for each other when we needed somebody to talk to. But over the years Entei had grown to dislike me, it was because I always helped out normal pokemon, he said that us legendary pokemon ruled over normal pokemon because they are weaker than we are and that we are gods. So he said anyway but I know that he was and is wrong, I know that normal pokemon can be as strong or even stronger than we can. Out of my two brothers Raikou was my favourite, he unlike Entei didn't care that I helped out normal pokemon; he sometimes helped out too. He was caring and didn't want power like Entei does. I felt tears well up in my eyes as I remembered but I shook it off, I knew I needed to be strong. But now those memories I had with Entei and Raikou now just seem to be bad dreams that would haunt me until this mess is sorted out. I hated to think about Entei and Raikou now, because every time I did I would see the monsters they now are. And I hated that Absol for bringing those memories back to me.
I turned back around but this time I no longer smiled when I watched the Totodile jump down the waterfall, I no longer felt happy any more, every memory I saw diminished it. When I reached the mountains I felt a sudden surge of happiness, knowing that soon this chaos would be over, that the crystal would be destroyed. I hadn't felt happy for weeks, ever since Entei and Raikou had attacked me, yet when I reached the mountains it felt so strange to be happy again. But now since the happiness was gone it was replaced by two other emotions: loneliness and hatred. I hated that Absol and everything else that is going wrong and how everyone is turning against me. While I was thinking I watched a Feraligatr emerge out of the trees, look at me and walk over to the lake and pull one of the Totodiles out of the water and as it took it into the trees the others hurried after it. As they ran off I was reminded of family, and now more than ever I wished that I had Entei and Raikou back, I needed my brothers back. I sighed; thinking that I should continue on, where I was at the moment was surrounded by cliffs so there was only one way for me to go; up the waterfall. I was glad that I had the ability to walk on water, I walked over to the lake and peered into the water. Can it get any clearer? I wondered, so I decided to give it a try. My body began to glow and I placed a paw on the water and the little bit of water my paw touched cleared only a tiny bit. My body stopped glowing and I took a couple of steps away from the water, I looked up and saw the sun rising, I knew I needed to be on my way. I tensed my muscles and I sprang onto the water and ran across it towards the waterfall. The water rippled as my feet touched it, there was an odd noise and the water beneath my feet turned into a solid; it turned into ice. I started to skid and I dug my claws into the ice to try and stop the skidding, it made such an earsplitting noise and somehow I stopped. I saw that the waterfall was still rushing and I ran towards it, slipping and sliding all the way. I was getting closer to it and I prepared to launch myself off the ice and run up the waterfall when I heard that sound again and a beam came out of nowhere, and it hit the waterfall and froze it solid. I gasped, only a pokemon with immense power could freeze a waterfall solid like that. I dug me claws into the ice again so I wouldn't slam into the frozen waterfall but I was too late and I collided with the ice, as I did I heard a crack and I felt a sharp pain in my side and I staggered away from the frozen waterfall, my feet slipping out from underneath me, I slowly turned around. Four pokemon stood on the shore. Regirock, Registeel, Regice and Regigigas or as I called them the 'beepers' honestly the noises they make freak me out.
"Trespasser." Regirock beeped.
I shivered; I truly hated that beepy noise of theirs.
"This is our territory." Registeel bleeped.
"Trespassers will be eliminated." Regigigas said.
What? I thought. "I'm just passing through!" I shouted.
"You're still trespassing." Regice beeped.
As Regice said that, Hyperbeams started to form in front of the four of them. I knew I couldn't escape, because if I tried to run then I would slip or skid and my side was really starting to hurt. The only chance that I could see was to fight back, but none of my attacks would seriously hurt them because they are at a really high level, but maybe I could hurt Regirock badly. I evened up my chances and it didn't look really good, I didn't have much of a chance fighting against all four of them. The Hyperbeams in front of them were getting bigger and I bowed my head in defeat as the beams started to fly towards me.
"Oh no you don't!" A female's voice roared and there was a loud explosion.
My head snapped up to see that the Hyperbeams had disappeared and that there were ten or so Feraligatrs standing in a line in front of me.
"How dare you?!" One of them shouted.
"First you attack our children and other pokemon and now you try to hurt Suicune the spirit of the Northwind!" One of the females yelled.
"He's trespassing!" Regigigas beeped loudly.
"I'll give you trespassing!" One of the male Feraligatrs bellowed, stepping forward. "You are the ones that took our territory from us!"
There was a rustling sound and heaps of pokemon of the mountains emerged out of the trees surrounding the lake.
Another Feraligatr stepped forward. "And I think its time to claim our territory back! You all agree?" he shouted to the pokemon surrounding the lake. And in response they cheered. Then the Feraligatrs and the pokemon began to advance on the Regis. But one Feraligatr stayed behind and it turned to me.
"What will happen to them?" I asked
She smiled. "Well those vile pokemon will be beaten up a bit as revenge because they've hurt our kids and so many other pokemon. They will be forced to move somewhere else and we will have our territory back. So I guess you should get out of here."
"How?"
"That's why I stayed behind," she said. "Stand back." she cautioned, so I took a step back. She then stamped her foot and the ice began to tremble, cracks appeared in the ice and I watched in amazement as a long ragged crack worked its way up the waterfall and it burst forth from its icy encasing, soaking me with it freezing water and the trembling stopped.
"Thank you." I said to her.
"No thank you." she replied. "We knew that we were going to get rid of them soon and this drove us over the edge, seeing them about to attack you, the legendary Suicune. The pokemon of the prophecy."
"Prophecy?" I asked blankly.
She sighed. "I'm not surprised at all you don't know about it. Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes."
"This prophecy was made long ago by a pokemon names Xatu. It saw the future and made this prophecy." She cleared her throat and recited. "A legendary pokemon named Suicune will try to destroy something that has the power to destroy our world. He will travel through all different places and try to restore the legendary pokemon back to themselves and also try to restore time. Can he succeed in his journey? That I cannot see. He along with another pokemon will have one of the most ultimate adventures of all time and even if he fails he will be the most ultimate of heroes."
"Are you sure that prophecy was about me?"
"Yes, you are the only Suicune that has shown up here and some of the legendary pokemon have been acting strangely."
I nodded and for some reason a knot of fear formed in my stomach.
She looked over at the fight that was going on, which several yells were issuing from including the Regis beeping. "You should go and good luck on your journey."
"Thank you again." she smiled in response and I whirled around and launched myself onto the waterfall. Some people must have said that it must be hard running up a waterfall because of the water pushing against you but in fact it was really easy thanks to my ability. But as I was running up I was aware of the sharp pain in my side, when I moved my muscles every time I breathed it was excruciating and this pain made it seem that running up the waterfall made it much longer than it was supposed to take and eventually I made it to the top. And I turned around and looked down at the lake below. By now the pokemon had driven the Regis to the trees. Then I turned around, walked out of the water and disappeared into the trees.
I walked along in a deep canyon, I knew that if I followed it then there was a possibility that it would led me to the middle of the mountains. I had a hunch that I would find the crystal there, and I knew what else I was looking for … a volcano. Because the carvings in Bell tower said to look in the mountains fiery depths, so I'm sure that it meant a volcano. I glanced behind me but there was nothing was there, I had the feeling that I was being followed, after I was sure that nothing was there I looked back at my path and continued walking. As I walked I mulled over what the Feraligatr had said about the prophecy. What it had said about another pokemon, did it mean that Lugia would be re-joining me soon or did it mean someone else? And also what did it mean about restoring time? For that I had no idea, but I would worry about that after the crystal is destroyed. As I walked I looked for some oran berries to stop my side aching but there weren't any on the trees along the canyon. Suddenly a large shadow fell over the canyon and I looked up to see Rayquaza up in the air. I was just about to shout out to him when I stopped myself. What if he wasn't my ally anymore? And I watched him fly off. What if he was after me? The knot of fear in my stomach tightened. What if he was after someone else? Could he be after Lugia? Lugia would stand no chance against Rayquaza, he was much stronger than me and stronger than Lugia. Especially after Rayquaza had learnt a new attack: Draco Meteor, which was now one of his favourite attacks. But there was something else that concerned me, when the dark crystal is controlling a pokemon does it make them stronger? I shivered, thinking about us legendary pokemon being stronger terrified me, we were strong enough. Clouds lazily floated across the sky, occasionally throwing the canyon into darkness. I glared up at them, wishing that it would rain; I wanted large thunderclouds so that it would possibly storm so I would have better cover. Instead all I've got are small white fluffy clouds that looked like they carried no rain at all. As I looked up at the clouds, I saw two figures darting in and out of them. They looked like…
"Latios! Latias!" I shouted, the two pokemon stopped and looked down at me, then I gasped realising my mistake I ran deeper into the canyon. I hadn't run for hours and soon I remembered why. I had only gone five hundred meters when I suddenly collapsed to the ground in pain. The sharp stabbing pain in my side was back. I curled up into a ball, waiting for the pain to go away, I took in deep breaths hoping that it would help but it didn't it only made it worse. The seconds crawled by and slowly the pain receded. I looked up at the sky, nothing was there except for those annoying fluffy clouds, I got to my feet and I looked down the canyon, where I had just come from as I thought I saw something move. The Absol from earlier was standing there. It was glaring at me and I glared back, hatred filled me as I looked at it. Then I realised it wasn't looking at me, it was looking past me. I looked behind me only to jump to the side as an Aura Sphere whizzed past me and hit the Absol in the chest. I looked back behind me to see a pokemon run into the trees. I wanted to go over and see if the Absol was okay but something in my gut told me I shouldn't. But I ignored it and walked over to the Absol.
"Are you alright?" I asked it.
"I'm fine." And it started to get to its feet. Then another Aura Sphere hurtled out of the trees and hit the Absol in the head. And it crumpled into a heap, and then a voice came out of the trees.
"That pokemon is no friend to you!"
Feeling stupid I shouted back. "And what kind of cruel hearted pokemon are you?! This Absol has done nothing wrong!"
"Yes it has! And I'm a pokemon that has been watching out for your back for a couple of weeks now! And I suggest that you get out of here unless you want your nice little legendary pokemon buddies catching up to you!" the voice growled.
And I growled back, I wanted to see if the Absol was okay, so ignoring the Pokemon's warning I walked over to the Absol and a growl came from the trees. Ignoring it I walked over to the Absol and helped it to its feet and a cry of rage came from the trees.
"No! Didn't you hear me?!" the voice roared "That pokemon is no friend to you!"
An Aura Sphere came out of the trees towards me and I jumped out the way, it was supposed to be a warning to get away from the Absol but I took it as a threat. Before I could react another Aura Sphere came out of the trees, speeding towards the Absol but it jumped out of the way just in time. It growled and a Shadow Ball started to form in front of it and it sent it into the tree. There was a loud bang and a large ball of smoke drifted out of the trees. Out of nowhere a glowing light appeared in the middle of the smoke and a large Aura Sphere hurtled out of the trees and slammed into the Absol and blasted it backwards. Th Absol groaned and tried to get up.
"Is that all you've got?!" the voice roared "Your stronger than that!"
Another Aura Sphere came out of the drifting smoke and I destroyed it by using Bubblebeam and the two attacks exploded but a split second after I destroyed the Aura Sphere another one came out of the smoke and hit the Absol. And then my temper broke, it flooded out of my barriers like an angry wave and I ran towards the trees. My anger made me forget about the pain in my side, it seemed like there was no pain and I dove into the trees and the pokemon that was attacking us wasn't far beyond them. Because of the dim light I couldn't see where the pokemon was exactly so I relied on my senses, and I tackled it to the ground. I felt its claws rake along my front leg and somehow it managed to kick me off it and backwards into a tree. But as before I felt no pain, I knew I would feel it later on but I didn't care. In the dim light I could just see the outline of the pokemon and I tried to attack it with Water Gun but it dodged out of the way and disappeared then it was silent. Then I saw something glowing out of the corner of my eye and I turned towards it. The pokemon was standing there on a medium sized rock, a Aura Sphere growing in-between its paws.
"I'm sorry Suicune," he said. "But if you help that pokemon then I'll have to stop you."
And he sent the Aura Sphere speeding towards me and I ducked before it could hit me. I looked back to where he was but he wasn't there. I looked around and suddenly he was beside me, he was such a quick mover and silent too. I saw the outline of his paw claws out coming towards me and in a flash I clenched my teeth around his arm and threw him into the truck of a tree. And I ran back to the canyon and as I burst out of the trees the sunlight hit me blinding me for a moment and when my eyes adjusted, I looked around and saw the Absol lying unconscious on the ground. I walked over to it and gently hit it with Water Gun, it coughed and looked up at me.
"Thank you." it said gratefully.
"No problem." I replied. "Now you should go before that pokemon comes back and attacks you again," I no longer felt hatred for this Absol. It nodded and got to its feet, said thank you again and ran off and I whirled around and ran off in the opposite direction, deeper into the canyon. Still feeling no pain.
I stood on a large plateau. A light breeze playfully tugged at my flowing mane and ribbon tails, I looked up at the stars and moon as I thought I saw something flash across the sky. I looked back down and walked a couple of steps forward, towards the edge of the plateau. I winced as pain shot through my side, what had I done to myself? My side had started to hurt after I had collided with the waterfall and slowly the pain faded, my back was also hurting but just a tiny bit. I looked at my destination, the volcano. It was bigger than all the other mountains and I could see the crater at the top and I took a step forward. My whole body screamed in protest, it screamed for rest. And I lied before my legs could collapse underneath me. I looked down at my leg, all the blood had dried, it had came from the scratch that pokemon had caused. I sighed and rested my head on my paws. I sure had a long day and I wearily drifted off to sleep. It didn't take long for the dreams to start. I was at the Shamouti islands standing at the altar, watching Lugia fly above me. Then a huge shape came out of the clouds and grasped Lugia in his claws. Lugia tried to escape from Rayquaza's grasp but as he tried Rayquaza dug his claws into Lugia's flesh, Lugia's blood streamed all over his wings and fell into the ocean below. Then I realised that there was somebody beside me, it was Eli. But he didn't pay any attention to me it was like I was a ghost. Eli smiled and thew a Pokeball into the air and captured Lugia within its depths, I needed to help him and the ball flew towards me and I leapt for it. But it was moving faster than I was then I realised that I was moving in slow motion and I watched helplessly ass Eli caught the ball in his hand. Then the dream changed, I was the one captured and as I was being held in a cage I was aware of my fellow legendary Pokemon's footsteps patrolling around my cage, awaiting my destiny as they called it. Then I heard human footsteps and I looked up expecting to see Eli but it wasn't Eli it was Ash and he was walking towards me, the dark crystal in his hand. My eyes flew open and I was back on the plateau the cool night air wafting across my face but the night air was carrying a sound. It was the sound of wings and it was coming from behind me. I got up wincing as I did and turned around to see a large majestic bird pokemon land on the other side of the plateau. And I saw to my relief that his eyes weren't black.
"Ho-oh!" I cried.
"Suicune, I'm glad to see you're safe." I walked towards him and he wrapped his large wings around me. "It looks like you've been through the wars son."
I smiled. "I have. Well not exactly just a couple of fights."
"What about Entei and Raikou, how are they?"
I took in a deep breath, "I'm so sorry Ho-oh, but they are being controlled by the dark crystal."
"No." I heard Ho-oh whisper and his wings unfolded from around me. "For how long."
"I think for a couple of months now."
Ho-oh closed his eyes in grief. "And now you're the only one of my sons left, trying to destroy the dark crystal by yourself. I thought Lugia was travelling with you, where is he?"
"He had to go back to the Shamouti islands to calm Moltres and Articuno."
Ho-oh opened his eyes but as he did I saw a glint in his eye that I had never seen before but it was quickly concealed. He sighed and he looked at the volcano. "It looks like you've got a long way to go. And with your injuries it will take you another day or two to get there. Want a ride?"
"Yes please."
"Well then, come on get on."
I walked around him to his side and gently leapt onto his back and settled down onto his soft feathers. His great wings unfolded on both sides of me and he gently soared up into the air in one gentle motion. I closed my eyes as the air washed across my face and when I opened my eyes again I was surprised at how far we had gotten, we were almost there suddenly Ho-oh swerved to the right as something flew past his head and he mage an angry noise in his throat. He stopped and hovered in the sir and I looked up into the night sky. Two figures were floating up there, it looked like rocks that were covered in fire surrounded them and they were sent flying towards us. I knew what they were attacking us with Draco Meteor. Then I realised in horror that they were being controlled. No, not Latias and Latios too. I thought, Ho-oh swerved this way in that to avoid the rocks and then the ground was coming up to met us. Ho-oh was beginning his descent. And I jumped off his back as he came close to the ground.
"I'll drive them off. Now go inside and destroy that crystal and then all this mess will be over." and he flew off.
I turned to the entrance and I saw that around it, engraved in the stone were the carvings of the prophecy that the Feraligatr had spoken about. I walked towards it but as I did the carvings glowed bright blue and I stepped inside. It was dark but I could see perfectly fine and I walked along the passageway, and I soon stepped on something and it rose up from underneath my feet. The angry Geodude aimed a punch at my head and I jumped away from it only to step on more. As they rose up around me I quickly ran out of the passageway, I hissed as pain shot through my side and I stopped running as I entered the next passageway. As I entered it torches flared up along its length and I gasped at what I saw. There were statues of us legendary pokemon. And I saw that at the end of the passageway was a red light and I knew that was the middle of the volcano and I walked towards it, looking at the statues as I passed. And then before I knew it I was at the end of the passageway, watching the lava seep below me. And I started to walk along the stone walkway towards the end of the chamber, watching the lava bubble below me. I looked up and saw the walkway split into two. So I took the right path and ran along it, hissing at the pain at my side. But as I ran into the small chamber I saw that it was empty. I growled and whirled around and ran back into the large chamber towards the left path. Suddenly the walkway began to tremble underneath my feet and bits of stone fell into the lava. A loud roar filled the chamber and the lava began to rise.
That's my longest chapter yet, so what did you guys think? What's going to happen to Suicune? (X-Files music) Oh yea, if you have any ideas then you are welcome to submit them and I'll see if I can add them in. Hopefully chapter six won't take as long. So please review, it makes my day a whole lot brighter. Cya.
