Hey guys. Hope you enjoy this chapter. In this one I've done two POVs that I haven't done before I hope I did well on those. There is a flashback in this chapter that relates later on in the story and in this chapter Entei shows his darker side. Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon. I wish I did. *Sigh* Enjoy!

Chapter 9

Suicunes POV

The Houndoom stood before us, swishing its tail back and forth.

"Hello Doom." Sapphire said.

The Houndoom inclined his head. "Now is there a reason for the welcoming party?"

"Yes Doom." Sapphire said. "We have a favour to ask. This Lucario here is dying, we need you to heal him or we'll lose him to death."

Doom was silent; I kneaded my claws impatiently into the dirt while he thought about it.

"Very well, place him on the ground." Doom ordered.

"Thank you." Sapphire said gently putting Lucario on the ground in front of the Houndoom.

Doom walked up to Lucario, lifted his head to the moon and howled. What use is that? Howling at the moon. Besides Houndoom's can't heal people. But how wrong I was. As if there was a weird phenomenon; the moon shined brighter and the air around the Houndoom seemed to sparkle as if there were tiny little diamonds floating around him and Doom himself begun to glow. He lowered his head and touched Lucario's chest with his orange muzzle. As I watched Lucario's breathing returned to normal, Doom backed off and the phenomenon ceased.

"He should be fine now." Doom said.

Sapphire picked up Lucario and she and the other Feraligatrs walked off.

"Thank you." I said to Doom.

"No problem, spirit of the Northwind." he replied. Doom walked past me and lapped up some water from the lake and then curled up on the bank.

I walked over to him and laid down.

"Thank you for healing Lucario." I said.

"I couldn't just let your friend die could I?" he responded. "Besides he spared my life."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"It's for him to tell not me." Doom said.

We were silent; the small waves from the lake slapping on the shore and the leaves rustling from a wind from the north were the only sounds.

"Do you have anything to ask me, spirit of the Northwind?" Doom asked.

"Well I am curios." I said. "How did you learn Moonlight? I've never seen a Houndoom use it before."

"I'm probably the only one that can." Doom said looking up at the moon. "Do you want to hear my tale of how I learnt it? Suicune."

"Yes I would." I said.

"It was in this forest five years ago…"

Flashback.

A lone Houndoom sat by a river, staring into the dark churning water seeing nothing only thinking.He was mourning for the two Houndoom's that had been killed in the past week by a hunter. One of his best friends and one of the young Houndoom's of the pack. And Doom had let him get away with it. Doom growled at himself, he the leader of the pack had let the killer go. Dooms shoulders slumped. I don't deserve to be the leader of the pack.

He just sat there for who knows how long, listening to the pokemon of the night. Then another sound invaded. Doom didn't bother to move he knew what it was. The hunter on his motorbike, he had come back for another kill. Let him come. He can put me out of my misery. The hunter got closer but Doom didn't move, awaiting the hunter's arrival. There was moment on the other side of the river but Doom still didn't move. The motorbike rumbled to a stop and its headlight shined upon Doom. He looked up to see the hunter standing in the shallow water of the river. He was wearing a glossy black jacket; rage filled Doom as he realised it was the fur of the other Houndoom's. He looked up at the hunters scarred face, the hunter was smiling.

"I should get a lot for you," he said. "You're the biggest one yet." He notched his shotgun and aimed it at Doom.

Doom lowered his head, waiting for his life to end. A sudden image ran through his mind. His daughter, how she would react to her fathers death. He was the only one there for her after her mother had been captured by a trainer. No! Doom thought fiercely. I am going to be there for her! Doom growled and sent a jet of rippling fire at the hunter and ran into the forest of trees behind him. He ducked as a bullet flew over his head and thudded into a tree trunk.

"Go! Arcanine!" the hunter roared. "Go after that Houndoom!"

Doom heard the howl of the Arcanine and its heavy footfalls on the ground and the sound of the motorbike chasing him. Doom ran faster, leaping over logs and weaving through the trees hoping to lose his pursers. His den was around about half an hour away; he skidded to a stop. If he went there then he'd be putting everyone else in danger. The Arcanine ran straight past him, barking like mad. It whirled around, numerous scars covered its body and its eyes were crazed. What has the hunter done to it? The Arcanine leapt for Doom grabbing his back with its claws, throwing him to the ground. Doom blasted it with fire but it did nothing, he quickly got up but the Arcanine sunk its teeth into Doom's throat cutting off his air supply. A growl came from the trees and something small and the colour of lilac hurtled out of them and slammed into the Arcanine throwing it into a tree trunk. Doom ran off, blood dripping from his neck, he ran on heading away from his den. There was no sound of the motorbike, it was gone. Doom slowed he couldn't hear the Arcanine either. There was a sound in the trees; the sound of gunfire and a bullet buried itself in Dooms hind leg. Doom howled in pain and fell into a rosebush. The Budew, Roselia and Roserade running off in fright. The hunter stood over him aiming his gun at Dooms heart. Doom tried to get up but he couldn't move the thorns of the rosebush pricking at his skin.

"Leave that Houndoom alone!" A voice shouted.

A large shape leapt over the rosebush and jumped on the hunter, knocking the gun out of his hands. It was a Mightyena. Three trainers stood in front of Doom, an Umbreon and an Espeon stood by the sides of two twins (a boy and a girl) and the other person appeared to be their father. Their father walked up to the hunter, got his Mightyena off him and pulled him to his feet. The Espeon walked up to the man with a vine hanging from its mouth; the man grabbed the vine and tied around the hunter's wrists. It was then the Arcanine appeared and it went for the hunter, claws out.

"Espeon!" the girl shouted. "Use Psybeam!"

A rainbow light was shot from the red jewel on the Espeon's head; it hit the Arcanine making its head hit a tree knocking it out. The man walked over to the Arcanine and slung it over his back.

"We're taking this one with us," he said. "Zac. Get Umbrae to heal that Houndoom." he said to his son.

The boy named Zac turned to Doom. "Umbrae. Use Moonlight." The Umbreon walked up to Doom. The rings on its body shined, the moon shined brighter through the leaves and the air sparkled around the Umbreon. The bullet popped out of Dooms leg and his wounds healed.

"Thank you." Doom said, the Umbreon nodded and walked back to its trainer. The trainers turned around and walked off, leaving the hunter there. Doom got up out of the rosebush and followed them.

"Wait!" the hunter shouted. "You can't leave me here!"

The trainers ignored him and continued walking. The man turned around when he realised that Doom was following them.

"Do you want to come with us for awhile?" he asked. Doom nodded. "Come on then." he smiled.

As Doom caught up to the Umbreon he asked. "How do you use Moonlight?"

Umbrae smiled. "Do you want me to teach you?"

"It would be most welcome." Doom replied.

End of flashback.

I listened to Dooms tale; I had to admit it was a long one.

"It took me a week to learn Moonlight." Doom said. "The trainers left after that and the hunter was arrested."

"What about the Arcanine?" I asked.

"The trainers looked after it, it was hard to handle at first. But it warmed up to them. It wouldn't talk to anyone at first but it eventually started to talk. It told me what the hunter did to it if it didn't obey him. He would hurt that poor pokemon really badly. He had whipped it, stabbed it and he even shot it once."

"That's horrible!" I exclaimed. "No pokemon deserves that." well maybe Entei. I added to myself mentally.

Doom looked up at the sky. "Well I better be going." he got up. "Farewell Suicune, spirit of the Northwind." he then turned and disappeared into the trees.

I looked up at the sky, it was getting lighter. What? It's nearly dawn? I put my head onto my paws and closed my eyes. I was lifted into the air, I knew that it was Sapphire. She walked around the lake and under the waterfall. I opened my eyes. There was a cave behind the waterfall, she placed me down on the ground next to Lucario and left. The last thing I saw before I fell asleep was something at the back of the cave.

Raikou's POV

I sat before Lugias cage, he was still knocked out. The airship rumbled beneath my feet heading back towards Mt Silver.

"I'm sorry Lugia." I whispered and I left the large room. I walked down a long corridor and into another large room. I stood in the middle of the room and pressed my foot down on a switch and the piece of floor I was standing on detached itself from the rest of the floor and went up to the next level. This is where Eli stayed. The room was adorned with portraits of rare pokemon and at the end of the room was a large glass window and a large control panel. Eli was sitting in a high-backed chair talking to a hooded man with a pokemon sitting on his shoulder.

"Thank you for bringing the airship." Eli said to him.

"It was no problem," he said. "I knew would need help transporting Lugia."

Eli nodded. "You may leave."

The man turned, his hazel eyes glancing at me as he passed and he went down the elevator.

"Hello Raikou." Eli said.

I inclined my head. "Have you heard anything from Entei?" There was also another power that the holder of the dark crystal has. It's a mental link. If I needed to tell him something but I was far away I could transmit it from my mind and he would hear it and it was the same for him. He through this mental link could also sense our emotions and see through our eyes what is happening. Also he could sense if a pokemon that is being controlled is in danger.

Eli sighed. "No I haven't. I know you're worried about him Raikou."

I growled, it wasn't Entei that I was worried about it was Suicune.

"Do you trust him?" I said indicating the man who had just left.

"I don't have any other choice do I?" Eli said.

No he didn't after all that man is Elis –

Eli suddenly went rigid in his seat interrupting my train of thought. He jumped up and quickly walked over to a portrait of all the legendary pokemon. He wrenched it open and in a little hollow sat the dark crystal. This is where he kept it while on the airship. He touched it and closed his eyes.

Eli turned to me. "I sent a message to Mew, something bad is about to happen to Entei."

I felt my breath catch in my throat as I heard those words, Eli rushed over to the control panel and shifted up the airships speed.

Mews POV

I flew around the top of Mt Silver. The snow had ceased for once and the sun was starting to rise. The back of my neck was stinging; the large wound that the Lucario and Suicune had caused was starting to heal. Taliqua had scolded me for being careless and letting myself get hurt. Taliqua was standing on top of the mountain watching the sunrise. I swooped down flinging up some snow on her.

"Mew!" she laughed.

I laughed along with her and did a somersault backwards. I hardly ever felt happy anymore but when I was with her I was truly happy. Shes my best friend.

Eli's voice came into my mind. "Mew stop mucking around! Something bad is about to happen to Entei."

"So what?" I replied. "It's not my problem."

"Go get him Mew." Eli ordered.

I wanted to disobey him but the dark crystal wouldn't allow it.

"See you soon." I said glumly to Taliqua and I teleported.

Entei's POV.

I stumbled on through the trees scratches covering my body. I went after Suicune and that Lucario through the passageway but when I was halfway through it, it begun to collapse because stupid Groudon destroyed the volcano. Eli won't be pleased, Suicune had escaped again. I limped through the trees I had to walk all the way back to Mt Silver. Sunlight flitted down through the leaves and I thought about what Eli would say when I arrived back at Mt Silver. I shuddered. I can't wait for all the yelling I'll get. Especially if he found out I tried to kill Suicune.

I heard something move in the trees behind me and an eerie sound. I recognised that sound. No, it's them. I raced through the trees not wanting to encounter them. Two of them came up on my sides a couple of meters away. The sound came from behind me again and a beam flew over my head and hit the ground in front of me. It formed a jagged ice wall between two trees. I jumped over it the soles of my paws digging into the rough ice. I jumped to the ground and ran on, I looked behind me. The ice exploded and Regice sped after me.

"Trespasser!" Regigigas beeped and Regigigas and Registeel started to close in on me.

I must have wandered into their territory. I pushed up my speed not wanting to stick around to see what they would do next. One thing confused me though. Where is Regirock? Not that I cared. As if in answer the ground exploded and Regirock jumped out of the ground, it tried to grab me and I attacked it with Fireblast, enveloping it in fire. I was suddenly thrown sideways into a tree with a great deal of force. Registeel was standing over me its arm raised; glowing white and it brought it down. Then the Regis were suddenly thrown away from me with tremendous power and Mew appeared above me. He grabbed a tuft of my fur and teleported us into oblivion.

The world was spinning around me as Mew teleported, it suddenly stopped and I landed in something soft. I tried to stand up but I fell back down into the snow, dizzy. I looked above me, a mountain towered overhead; we were at the bottom of Mt Silver. Mew was floating in front of me beside the Absol Taliqua. I got up the world no longer spinning.

"Why did you come and get me Mew?" I said growling. "I was doing fine on my own."

"Oh yes I could see that." Mew said sarcastically, flicking his tail. "You were handling the situation perfectly especially the bit you were about to be pulverized into about the size of a Seedot by Registeel. Beside Eli ordered me to come and get you, I didn't come and get you of my own free will. Also I think that you don't want to stick around when Eli gets here, he's not happy. You let Suicune escape again."

"It wasn't my fault that he had help." I growled. "And you Taliqua were supposed to make sure that Lucario didn't get to Suicune and help him."

"He almost defeated me that's the only reason why he got by me. He disappeared after that." Taliqua said calmly.

"That's because your weak!" I hissed at her.

"How dare you say that to her!" Mew yelled at me angrily.

"Mew its okay." she said gently, then her voice turned sour. "Besides he's the weak one."

I growled and slapped her across the face my claws digging in, throwing her into the snow. How dare this pathetic pokemon call me weak! I'm stronger then she'll ever be! Mew cried out in rage and smashed his small fist into my chest, throwing me back. A big shadow rose up above me. Mew had transformed into a large Arbok. He swooped down; mouth gaping preparing to sink his poisonous fangs into me. In a flash I jumped away from him and enveloped him in fire, Mews cries of pain filled the air as I burned him. Something hard and sharp dug into my side making me stop the attack and Mew fell to the ground. I twisted around snapping at Taliqua's neck; she jumped away from me my blood dripping off the scythe like thing on the side of her head. A fierce wind blew past her sending up snow; it circled around me cutting off my visibility. A loud roar escaped from me and fire rushed out of my mouth at the snow. But my fire did nothing and the blizzard around me swirled faster as if in anger, it seemed to be closing in on me and in a frantic attempt to escape from it I jumped into the swirling snow. I felt it blow harshly past me but thankfully I landed on the calm soft snow on the other side the sun shining down upon me. I looked behind me, the blizzard had settled down. I looked back Taliqua had her back to me walking over to the knocked out Mew. I got up quietly and slowly walked toward her, stalking my prey. She must be stupid to think that a simple blizzard had got rid of me. This pokemon should fear me, yet she says I'm weak. Well I'll show her who the weak one is.

I launched into the air and landed on her back throwing her down into the snow. I stood on her making sure she didn't escape. I heard some of her bones break as I pressed more of my weight down onto her as she struggled. Her cries of pain filled the air as I flexed my claws digging past her fur and slicing into her skin. I then plunged my teeth into her neck silencing her cries once and for all, her blood ran through my mouth and I spat it out on the snow. Disgusting. I stepped off of her and was about to cover the body with snow to see that she was somehow still breathing. I growled and raised my paw to hit her across the temple. It will be her end.

I was suddenly sent flying sideways. I looked up to see Mew; his body burned. Floating above Taliqua his eyes filled with rage and utter loathing.

"You fucking cunt!" Mew roared.

I was surprised by Mews language but since the dark crystal had taken him over he had undergone a complete transformation from his once happy self. I got up but I felt Mew slam into the side of my head. He smashed me into something hard and my vision failed.

I regained conciseness a few minutes later; I could vaguely hear the airship in the distance. I got up and looked at the thing I had hit my head on, a rock. I then looked around for Mew and I spotted him instantly. He had thrown himself over Taliqua's motionless body. I walked over to him trying not to make a sound. I was going to finish that Absol even if it meant taking out Mew first. As I got closer I realised that Mew was crying but I felt no pity or remorse. I then lunged at his unprotected back.

Raikou's POV

I could see Mt Silver in the distance. I was still up at Eli's control panel. He at the moment was pacing which was getting very annoying. I went over to the elevator, pressed the switch and went down. I went through several corridors and past the room where Lugia was being kept. I soon arrived at the entrance of the airship. A round about fifteen minutes later the airship landed in the snow at the base of Mt Silver. Its large door was lowered but there was something going on that I wasn't expecting. Mew and Entei were fighting. Both bleeding and yelling insults at each other. There was a rush of lilac and Mewtwo flew past me and forced him apart with his psychic powers. They hung there in the air staring at each other their faces livid. Mew suddenly broke free of Mewtwo's psychic, dodged Mewtwo and smashed into Entei.

I jumped off the airship electricity crackling through my fur and I electrocuted them both. Entei and Mew fell to the ground when the electricity ceased and glared at me. Entei got up and turned away and stood still. I heard a low growl he whirled back around and spat fire at Mewtwo and I. What the hell? I jumped to the side and it passed harmlessly by me. Mewtwo was also unharmed but that was before Entei jumped for Mewtwo, slashing at his chest, Mewtwo's blood spurting out over the snow making him collapse. Then Entei went for Mew, he tried to fly away but Entei grabbed onto Mews long tail with his teeth, making Mew cry out in agony. Mew teleported and appeared behind Entei and kicked him into the snow. Entei recovered quickly and jumped up at lightning speeds, sunk his teeth into Mew and threw him into the snow. A Flamethrower was growing in Entei's mouth, I roared at him to stop but it was like I wasn't there. I ran through the snow and slammed into Entei throwing him into the rocky base of the mountain. I growled and my fur stood on end as Entei got up, he too was growling.

"Cease this at once!" Eli's furious voice rang. "Entei up at my study now! Mewtwo you make sure he stays in there."

Mewtwo got up and followed Entei as he turned around unwillingly and ran up the mountain. I watched as Mew almost fell out of the air from weakness but he didn't seem to care. He flew over to something surrounded in blood red snow. Dread filled me as I walked over to Mew who had landed. Tears were running down his face and I saw why. Taliqua was lying in the snow covered in blood, her body broken. I couldn't tell if she was alive.

"What happened to her?" I asked really worried.

Mew only managed to choke out one word through his tears. "Entei."

"Entei did this?" I asked outraged.

Mew nodded.

I lifted my head to the sky. "Entei!" I roared.

Eli was then kneeling beside me. "Don't worry Raikou. Entei will get into a load of trouble for this."

"Eli! Heal her!" Mew shouted. "Don't let her die!"
"Mew. I'm not going to let her die." Eli promised reaching into his pocket and pulling out a Hyper potion. "Shes really valuable." he sprayed the potion onto the Absol, her wounds starting to heal. "She'll be fine Mew. Go up and get some rest and make sure one of the healers attends to you."

Mew didn't move.

"Go Mew." Eli ordered.

Mew turned around and flew up the mountain. Eli picked up Taliqua and turned to me

"Raikou, you wouldn't mind would you?"

"Not at all." I said. I knelt down into the snow and Eli got up onto my back; holding Taliqua and I felt him grasp onto my purple thunder cloud mane. I got up and ran through the snow towards our hideout.

I sat outside Eli's study listening to him yell at Entei. Eli had just sent Mew to go find out where Suicune was so Eli could send someone else; he wasn't going to send Entei again. I was sitting outside Eli's study for half an hour before something entertaining happened. The ground was shaking, it meant one thing; Groudon had returned. Entei roared and burst out of the big oak doors. I chased after him. By the time I got to the entrance Entei was already halfway down the mountain running down toward a huge figure emerging out of the ground. I ran down the white mountain and soon arrived at the bottom. Eli's Salamence landed in the snow, Eli dismounted and leaned against his Salamences leg; watching what was going on.

Entei was roaring his lungs out at Groudon. "YOU ALMOST KILLED ME YOU FUCKING IDIOT! YOU MUST HAVE THE BRAIN THE SIZE OF THE SMALLEST POKEMON IN THE WORLD TO POSSES SUCH IDIOCY TO DESTROY THE VOLCANO WHILE I WAS STILL IN THERE!"

"Well you shouldn't have gone into the passageway." Groudon said, offended. "And you're the idiot for going in there. Didn't I tell you earlier that I would go to any lengths to get Suicune? You should have thought of that before you went into the passageway. So you're the idiot.

I burst out laughing. Groudon did have a point.

"SHUT THE HELL UP RAIKOU!" Entei roared at me.

But that only made me laugh harder.

Eli then walked over to us. "Entei." Eli said calmly. "You can't die. Its one of the dark crystals powers. Besides Groudon does have a point."

Entei scowled and ran up the mountain.

"Groudon go get some rest." Eli said.

Groudon nodded and walked around the side of the mountain where the enclosure/shelter was situated. It was built for us legendary pokemon that are being controlled. It's where we stayed when we weren't doing other stuff.

I turned around. I was going to visit the prisoners when Mew suddenly appeared before me baring several scratches, swaying back and forth.

Eli stood next to me. "Mew what happened?" he asked.

I went back to the mountains, I stopped at a lake and searched around and found a cave behind the waterfall there. Suicune and the Lucario were there sleeping. I was about to teleport Suicune back here when something attacked me. There is something watching over them in that cave."

Eli sighed. "Mew go back up to the healers." Mew flew back up the mountain. "Hmm. Raikou. It looks like you have to be careful while your there."

"You're sending me?"

Eli nodded and I ran off.

End notes: I would have had this chapter up sooner but I couldn't have been bothered typing it up. I'm not going to have chapter 10 up anytime soon because I'm going away on a holiday and my hardrive on my computer is being replaced. Its so old. Was this chapter good or bad? What do you think is going to happen next? Who was that man on the airship? Please, please review. They make me smile.
