Dustchu: Yo here's chap Six my friends, thank you for waiting and I hope you enjoy! :D
Bill: He does not own Pokémon or any related to it. But he does own this story, the plot and the characters. *Uses hyper beam to destroy a random building.*
Dustchu: *Sweat-drops* this is coming out of my trainer fund I bet. *Sighs* Dang it Bill.
NOTE! When it's Eli's Pov you can't understand Pikachu, but when its third person, you can understand Pikachu.
Eli's apartment, Eli Pov.
"Why is it always my back that hurts, why?" I groaned mentally as I groggily opened my eyes, my sight was a little blurry but it was quickly remedied by me blinking a couple of times, I was greeted with the dull color of my apartment walls.
I was about to get up but stopped when I felt something in my arms, I tilted my head down and saw that I had my arms wrapped around the Pikachu's small form. She had a content smile on her face as she was snuggled up in my arms, soft sounds escaped her mouth as she lightly breathed in and out.
I couldn't help but smile at the sight of her as she slept; I also noticed a smell that wasn't in the room before and found it was coming from Pikachu, she smelled like a flower, I smelled her again before figuring out. "She smells like a rose." I thought; I loved that smell, in a manly sense of course.
I guess I woke her up because she stretched a little before yawning and showing a row of white teeth and some sharp looking fangs, she groggily rubbed her eyes before setting them on me. When she saw I had my arms around her I saw her already red cheeks turn an even brighter shade of red. "Is she embarrassed?" I wondered, oh I am going to have so much fun.
Pikachu Pov.
"Well this is awkward, go to sleep next to Eli, wake up and Eli's is holding me in his arms, not hating just saying." I thought as I stared into his Green eyes, God he was attractive for a human.
Eli embraced me a little tighter against his chiseled bare chest. "Morning beautiful." he whispered lovingly into my ear.
"Beautiful? What?" I thought as I tensed up.
Eli looked me straight in the eye then said. "You smell really good you know that?" followed by him putting his nose against my fur and inhaling deeply. "Like a rose." he whispered as he softly stroked my fur.
I bit my lower lip and quivered as I asked. "Just what are you doing Eli?" he was scaring me a little. He just smelled me!
"So, are you up for doing anything special today?" He asked seductively, touching the tip of my tail lightly.
I started shaking as he said that. "Is he suggesting what I think he's suggesting?" "Um, Eli?" I shuddered out.
"I was thinking about doing a little something today." he whispered to me, slowly stroking my back. "Something involving you and me." He then patted the bed. "And the bed, just the two of us." He finished with a smile on his face.
"Oh Arceus He is!" he was! Holy crap!
My heartbeat quickened as he said. "We should…" He whispered, we were facing each other and he was slowly closing the gap between us, our lips close to each other.
"Does he want to kiss me?" I wondered as he was getting closer, I could feel his breath hitting my mouth, my lips parted slightly and I was about to but was interrupted.
"Play a Board-game." He said; his smile got bigger as he started laughing. I felt like shocking him right then and there after that, so that's what I did.
Eli had rolled onto his back so I hopped onto his chest. "What are you doing buddy?" he asked.
I smiled as I built up a little electricity in my cheeks, not enough to kill him just enough to fry him a little.
I saw his face change from curiosity to fear as he saw what I was doing. "Um Pikachu, let's not do an-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He yelled as I sent a good amount of Electricity coursing through his system, he started convulsing before he fell off the bed and landed on the floor twitching.
I crossed my arms and nodded. "That should do, Jerk." I growled as I left the room and went into the kitchen.
Eli Pov.
"Maybe that wasn't such a good idea." I thought as I lay sprawled out on the floor. "Note to self, never ever do that as a joke." I told myself with caution as I sat up. I felt my hair and found it was standing on end, with a sigh I brushed my hair with my fingers until it was back to the way it was before.
I stood up and brushed myself off and went into the bathroom to freshen up and put on some clothes seeing how mine were a little… charred from last night's barbeque.
I washed my face and arms a little and put on my dark green shirt along with some old jeans and went into the kitchen, Pikachu was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed and a depressed look on her face, I felt like crap just looking at her. "Aw jeez." Guess I'd better apologize.
I walked over to her and sat down next to her as she huffed and looked away. "Listen, I'm sorry about that." I started, but she still kept gazing at the window. I cleared my throat and continued. "Okay, that was a jerk move that I did and I apologize for that." I said to her, guilt lacing my words. "If you want you can shock me again."
She sighed before finally turning to me; she was biting her lower lip and was looking up at me. "Pika?" she asked.
"Yes I mean that, I am sorry about teasing you like that, I'm a jerk and I know that." I admitted. "Still friends?" I asked hopefully, holding out my hand to her.
She looked at my hand then to me then she smiled a little then shook it. I breathed a sigh of relief when she did, I didn't want to lose my only friend. "Picha" she said, guess she said apology accepted or something.
"Um." I started, this felt awkward. She turned her attention to me. "When I said you smelled like a rose before, I wasn't really joking about that, you really do smell like a rose." I admitted truthfully. "I like that smell."
She blushed and smiled as she scratched the back of her head. "Chu, Pikachu." She said.
"In a manly sense of course." I added, she giggled as she hopped onto my shoulder, she nuzzled my cheek and started sparking just a little bit but it didn't hurt. It kinda tickled. She then kissed me on the cheek and hopped off with a smile, I smiled back. "Thanks buddy." I said.
Ten minutes later.
Now that we had made up we decided about what we would do today. I was sitting on the floor with my arms crossed in thought while Pikachu was doing the same; she had an intense look of concentration on her face.
"We could watch TV, nah nothing good on. maybe… no… too much work." Then a random thought about the park crossed my mind. "The Park!" I turned to Pikachu who had fallen asleep sitting up and said. "I got an idea, how about we go to the park!" I suggested with enthusiasm.
She shook her head and woke herself up and she looked perplexed at my suggestion. "Pika?"
"Yeah, I mean you've been cooped up in here since I brought you here and we haven't really done anything fun other than eat Doritos and watch TV, and you are getting kinda pudgy after all." I joked, chuckling a bit. she started sparking so I quickly added. "No offense! I mean we should get out more is all." She calmed down but still looked a little ticked that I called her pudgy.
I scooted over to her and picked her up. "I meant no offense, you look awesome." I stated truthfully, hugging her. She looked up at me with a smile. "The Park?" I asked.
She nodded before shooting her right paw into the air with a "Cha!"
I nodded also then let her down as I got up and grabbed my wallet and keys, as I did, I saw Pikachu stretching and loosening up. "Okay got my wallet and keys, let's go." As I made my way to the door I remembered, yesterday I left my clothes downstairs. "Damn!" I grumbled in anger.
I sighed in annoyance as I opened the door and was surprised to see a basket of clean clothes sitting on the floor, I saw a note on the pile and picked it up. "Eli, saw you left your clothes downstairs in the washer and you weren't there, I took the liberty of washing your clothes for you, hope you don't mind. Barry." It read in mildly shaking handwriting.
"That was nice of him to do, have to thank him if I see him." I told myself as I picked the basket up and closed the door; I brought it into my room and set it on my bed before fishing my jacket out and putting it on, it smelled clean and pepper-minty. "Weird." I shrugged as I walked out.
I saw Pikachu was ready and picked her up and put her in my jacket that was zipped up halfway. "To the Park." I declared after I made sure she was comfortable in my jacket, I had to keep her hidden so as to not arouse attention.
She poked her head out and looked up at me. "Pika!" she proclaimed triumphantly with a smile as she pointed to the door.
I Laughed. "Let's go then."
At the Park across the street from Eli's place, Third Person Pov.
Eli had decided to show Pikachu the park instead of keeping her cooped up, he thought it would be cool to show her the place, they had arrived after about a five minute walk, it took them that long because they mainly had to avoid some, as Eli puts it "nosy ass people."
The park wasn't anything special, just about three maybe four acres of dense woodland with various old cement paths leading in and out and a small river that runs into a larger river on the other side, a half overgrown sign that says "Welcome to Steele Park." Would greet those who stumbled upon this place, the Park was empty save for the massive amount of squirrels and birds.
Eli had walked past the sign with a scoff; he had heard of and actually met Jackson Steele as he was the mayor of the whole county. "Corrupt bastard" is what Eli called him, the reason? From what Eli could gather from online media and other news outlets is that he was bought off by some criminal organization so that their criminal activities can go unpunished throughout the county, if he keeps the cops of their back he gets to stay in office for as long as he wants.
Of course nobody can do anything about it either, the last guy who had incriminating evidence just "Disappeared" meaning you can't do anything or else you'll fall off the face of the planet and be nothing more than a name in the wind.
Eli had taken Pikachu to a part of the forest where they wouldn't be disturbed, it was a small spot that Eli used to hang out at a while ago when he was still living in the orphanage. When they arrived it was well covered from the roads by thick walls of overgrowth consisting of bushes and trees, Pikachu had poked her head out and looked all around with amazement as she hopped out of Eli's jacket to explore.
Various flowers of many different colors and sizes grew everywhere in large patches, the smells of all the different species of flowers mixed together creating a rather pleasant aroma that filled the air. it looked almost like paradise.
Eli had sat down against a large oak tree that provided him with shade while Pikachu explored the place, sniffing and occasionally nipping the flowers and rolling around with a giant smile plastered on her face. Eli watched her carefully as she did, while keeping an eye out for anyone who may stumble upon them.
Eli used to come here to "Chill-lax" as he calls it, it works too as he's always in a good mood when he leaves the park.
"Feels good to kick back." He muttered in a laid back tone as he put his hands behind his head in relaxation.
Pikachu was hiding in some flowers in a crawl staring at Eli and she was cooking up a plan to try and scare Eli, to get back at him for earlier. She kept her ears and tail lowered so she wouldn't give away her position and slowly made her way towards the seemingly unsuspecting Eli.
Eli had spotted her and figured she was planning something seeing how she had tried to hide herself; for the sake of comedy, he decided to play along with it but with his own little twist. He stood up with a semi scared expression and looked around frantically. "Hey! Pikachu, Where are you?" he called out.
Pikachu stopped and remained hidden but allowed a small giggle to escape as she watched Eli look around for her, but she couldn't help but feel a little bad making him worry about her.
Eli had walked over to where he had "Last seen" Pikachu and looked around with a worried expression. "Where are ya buddy?!" He called out again, putting his hands on his hips.
Pikachu had snuck up right behind him and tackled him while his back was turned while Eli had whipped around just in time to catch her in his arms as he fell backwards, the force of her tackle knocked the wind out of his lungs and made him fly a good three feet where he hit his head on a conveniently located tree which produced a "Bonk" sound.
Pikachu had started laughing right after they landed and Eli hit his head. "Ha! That's for this morning!" she laughed out. Eli didn't respond as he lay motionless on the ground. Worried she crawled over to him and shook him a couple of times but he still didn't move.
But to her relief Eli coughed before sitting up with swirls in his eyes, He looked to Pikachu and said. "hat as a kood ackle Pichuka!" with a smile.
Pikachu tilted her head and sighed. "Great, I broke my human." She said, as Eli shook his head.
Eli had sat up straight and spoke in a clear voice. "That was for this morning?" he asked as Pikachu nodded. "Yeah, guess I deserved that. Are we even this time?" he asked, she nodded and hopped onto his shoulder.
As the two were about to leave, a voice stopped them. "Well, what we do have here." the two whipped around and saw by a tree a young man wearing a black hoodie and jeans with black combat boots, on his head was a black beanie covering jet black hair with four long bangs that hung over bright green eyes. He looked on at the two with a psychotic grin plastered on his face while his left hand was hidden in his hoodie pocket.
Eli had Pikachu climb down his back and hide as he eyed the stranger. "I'm sorry, who are you?" he asked politely. "Where have I seen this guy? He looks familiar."
The stranger avoided the question. "Don't bother trying to hide your Pokémon, I can see her just fine from here." he voiced, Eli cursed silently.
"Who are you?" Eli asked, he was feeling a strange Aura coming from this person and it made him feel uneasy.
The stranger shrugged. "Just a guy looking for a battle is all, are you up for it?" he asked, fingering something in his pocket. Eli watched with the eyes of a hawk should this person pull something, the stranger saw and pulled his hand out. "I'm not here to kill you, so just chill." He said with honesty in his tone.
Eli relaxed but still remained tensed as he asked. "What kind of battle?"
The Stranger smirked as he put two fingers in his mouth then whistled sharply making Pikachu cringe at the high pitched sound, seconds later a Growlithe came bounding out of the woods and stopped next to him, it was the same Growlithe that Eli had fought in the school's basement.
Eli widened his eyes in shock. "A Growlithe! Could he be?" he thought as the stranger started to pet the Growlithe with a small smile, it almost made him look... sane.
"So?" The stranger asked as his psychotic tone returned. "We gonna battle or what." he asked as his Growlithe got into a defensive stance.
Pikachu hopped out from behind Eli with a look of determination, she looked to Eli and gave a nod of approval as Eli pondered about it. "Well, if she wants to, then I guess we could, besides, I'll get to test out her attacks." He turned to the stranger. "You're on, we accept your challenge." He declared, mimicking Pikachu and showing a determined look.
The stranger grinned. "Blaze! Use Flame-Thrower!" he ordered. Blaze did so without hesitance as he built up a good amount of flames in his mouth before aiming at Pikachu.
"Damn!" Eli thought as he quickly yelled out. "Pikachu, use Double team!" Pikachu grinned as four copies of herself appeared and started running in random directions around Blaze confusing him.
Blaze let loose his attack at the Pikachu clone on the right, only to see that the flames went through it, the stranger cursed. "Hit the one of the left with a flamethrower!" he ordered, Blaze used a flamethrower and hit his mark, again it was another copy.
"Pikachu use tackle!" Eli said, Feeling a rush of adrenaline surge through him. "So this is what it feels like, awesome!" Eli thought with excitement as Pikachu clobbered Blaze with a tackle attack sending him soaring through the air. "Damn, Pikachu can really hit!" Eli thought as Blaze righted himself in the air and landed on all fours in front of the stranger.
"Don't let up! Use Fire fang!" he yelled, Blaze opened his maw as fire started to cover his fangs, and his entire jaw line was covered in red/orange flames as he charged towards Pikachu with a determined roar and jaw opened wide.
Just as Blaze was nearing Pikachu Eli countered. "Dodge and use thunderbolt!"
Pikachu barely dodged in time as she readied a thunderbolt, Blaze didn't have enough time to escape as Pikachu released the energy she had built into a powerful thunderbolt straight towards him, Blaze let out a howl of pain as about a Thousand volts of electricity coursed through his system, firing off nerves and pain receptors.
Pikachu landed on the ground and Eli watched as she back-flipped away from Blaze back to his side. "Acrobatic one aren't ya." Eli thought with amusement as Pikachu landed with the grace of a dancer in front of him.
The stranger looked at Blaze. "Can you still fight?" he asked in a semi worried voice. Blaze shook his body to rid it of the cobwebs and nodded with a bark; the stranger smiled then looked to Eli. "You're pretty good, for a rookie." He commended.
"Thanks, I guess." he replied to the stranger before turning to Pikachu. "Pikachu, you still good?" Eli asked, Pikachu gave a thumbs up as Eli nodded. "Thunderwave, then follow up with volt tackle!" Eli yelled, excitement filling his voice.
Pikachu built up energy in her cheeks then sent a bolt of energy zigzagging towards Blaze, he tried to dodge but was unable to as he tripped over a fallen limb, the bolt hit him and he was struck with paralysis as he howled in pain as his whole body felt like Pins and Needles .
Pikachu got onto all fours and broke into a sprint as her body was covered in electricity that sent excess sparks in random directions, when she made contact with Blaze he was sent flying into the air with a yelp, Blaze hit one of the trees pretty hard and slid down.
Eli thought for a moment the battle was done, only to see Blaze get back up and his whole body covered inflames. "Rage?" Eli thought with alarm as Blaze's flame got bigger and his eyes had a red like hue to them.
"Let's see how they fare without our help!" The stranger suggested as Pikachu and Blaze squared off, staring at one another with intent to spill blood.
Eli looked to Pikachu and she looked ready for battle so he figured why not. "Alright." he voiced with uncertainty.
Pikachu heard that and rushed in using quick attack to start off, she ran on all fours rapidly gaining speed. Blaze did the same but he was faster. They both were at full speed not veering of course until they collided with one another kicking up dust that formed a cloud around them.
Inside of the dust cloud the two were going all out on each other.
Pikachu had resorted to using fury swipes attack on Blaze, her claws extended and as sharp as can be as she swiped at Blaze rapidly making cuts along his maw and face drawing blood.
Blaze recovering from the fury swipes tackled on Pikachu to the ground and head butted her in the nose making it bleed and causing her to cry out in pain, she used Thundershock on Blaze forcing him to retreat. "Asshole!" she yelled at him.
Blaze had nothing to say as he charged at him.
Outside the cloud Eli was trying to see inside while the stranger was making his way over to him and before he could ask the stranger what he was doing he threw a punch Eli just barely dodged, Eli backed away and held up his hands. "What are you doing!?"
"I don't see why our Pokemon get to have all the fun." He answered as he threw another punch.
Eli weaved out of the way. "I thought you said we were just going to have a Pokemon battle!"
The stranger smirked. "I lied." Was all he said as he began throwing a flurry of punches at Eli.
Eli tried to dodge but got hit by several so he threw up his arms and used them as a way to block. "He's fast!" Eli thought with alarm, the stranger threw punches way too fast for a normal human. Eli waited for an opening and threw a punch of his own and he struck him in the shoulder.
The stranger grabbed Eli's arm with blinding speed and did a shoulder flip throwing him into the dirt, he then twisted Eli's arm nearly to the point of breaking.
Eli biting back the pain, swung his legs at the stranger making him let go, Eli quickly got up and held his arm which began to throb a bit. Not wasting time he ran at the stranger and spun clockwise raising his left leg in an attempt to kick him.
The stranger ducked. "Too slow." but to his surprise he was knocked off his feet as Eli lowered his body and did a leg sweep, he then picked the stranger up and punched him in the jaw making him stumble back. "Ass!" he yelled as he jumped at Eli much like a Lion would jump a Gazelle in the wild.
The two hit the dirt and tussled with one another, Eli was punching the stranger with everything he had and vice versa. They kicked up dirt and dust with each hit as they tumbled around like two kids roughhousing in the schoolyard.
Eli was trying to remember where he saw this person before only to have a flashback to the school's basement. The stranger! He was the one who almost killed him and Pikachu! Eli with a newfound strength he brought the stranger to his feet and upper cut him sending him a good five feet into the air much to Eli's surprise.
He ran at the stranger as he landed on the ground with a thud and picked him up by the collar. "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ALMOST KILLED ME!" he bellowed as he struck him in the face, it hurt Eli's hand but he didn't stop as he followed up with three more. "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ALMOST KILLED PIKACHU!" He felt a wave of sorrow wash over him as he said that, Pikachu was the only real friend he had and he'll be damned if he loses her to some pyromaniac punk.
He grabbed the other part of his collar and brought him down to his knee hitting him hard in the gut, but he wasn't done yet. He then elbowed his in the back of the neck and heel kicked him to the ground. Okay now he was done… For now.
The stranger got up and spat out blood, his nose looked broken and leaked blood and his face was bloodied and bruised, his right eye was swelled up and his left was eyelid was halfway closed. He arched his back as it made a sickening popping sound. "Woo! You got some fight in you kid." He stammered out, he was breathing rather hard and he was holding his chest with his right arm. "Didn't expect that." he added as he coughed a couple of times.
Eli fists were clenched so tightly his nails dug into the palms, it hurt but he didn't seemed fazed by it as he glared at the stranger with malice in his eyes. "Just who are you?!" he yelled.
The stranger spat out a glob of blood and coughed loudly, he thought for a moment. "I'm someone who was paid a certain amount of cash to come here and find out certain "things" about you…" he started. "Things that you don't know about yourself, things you won't understand."
Eli remembered what Palkia had told him when they first met, about the organizations and how they're out for everybody. "What kind of things?"
"Your Aura for one, it's different from what I could gather… and you yourself are different." He told Eli, looking at him with interest. "You are not like most humans."
"Yeah I sorta figured that out on my own." Eli replied. "And just who are you anyway?"
The stranger sighed. "If you're not gonna shut up." He muttered quietly, Eli heard it anyway and scowled. "My name is Nick if that'll shut you up.'" He responded not caring at all of Eli's slowly building anger.
"Pika!" Eli heard, he looked to his left to see a bloodied yellow fuzz ball run up to him, he quickly picked her up and saw the damage. Her fur was dirty and covered in blood in some places, her maw and arms were covered in scratches and the top of her head had a bump on it and her nose was bleeding.
"Aw man." He mouthed, she looked awful.
Pikachu had a worried expression. "Pi?"
"Uh, it's not that bad, just some scratches and stuff. Nothing I can't fix." He reassured her with a bright smile.
Pikachu returned the smile. "Cha!"
"Well isn't that adorable." Nick scoffed out as Blaze limped up to him looking battered and weary, Nick saw him and quickly knelt down to him and checked him head to toe.
Eli saw him pull out of his pocket, what looked like a small canister, it was a potion! Nick sprayed Blaze with it and Blaze's wounds closed up, He looked as if he hadn't even seen a battle. Nick saw Eli looking and threw him the canister without so much as a second glance.
Eli caught it and wasn't expecting that. "Wh-"
"Use it to heal Pikachu." He said as he and blaze started to walk away, they disappeared around a tree.
Eli shook his head, confused as to what just transpired. "One minute this guy almost kills me the next he helps me, what's his deal?" Eli thought as he began to heal Pikachu.
Pikachu Pov
As soon as the human called Nick left the area Eli immediately used the potion on me, I felt the spray hit my fur and I could feel my wounds close up and my headache had dulled. I felt like a new chu.
Eli picked me up and gave me a look over. "Well, most of your injuries are healed, you got some blood on you but that's nothing a bath won't fix." He told me, satisfied I'm alright.
I sighed. That Growlithe put up a good fight, I wonder if I'll fight him again? I didn't know. I looked up at Eli and saw he was just as battered as me, his eyelids were dropping and his face and arms had some bruises covering them, blood was slowly seeping out and he looked like he was about to drop. "He looks terrible." I thought.
*Flashback, Third person Pov.*
"Stupid bitch!" Blaze bellowed as he charged forward, flames built up in his mouth. Ha had prepared a firefang attack and was planning on using it on Pikachu. If she hadn't dodged out of the way by back flipping, she landed a few feet away and threw sand in his face blinding him for enough time to tackle him to the ground and punch him.
Maybe you're wondering why she isn't using one of her electric based attacks and she's using her tiny fists to pummel Blaze, she's pissed and her energy has run dry.
Blaze was trying to get out from under her but she was surprisingly strong for a mouse Pokemon. "Damn it!" he thought as he blew a fireball at her, she scrambled out of the way as Blaze got up.
Pikachu was about to charge at Blaze but stopped when she heard. "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ALMOST KILLED PIKACHU!" followed by a thud, she looked to where Eli was and saw the stranger on the ground clutching his stomach, Eli's fists were covered in blood and his face contorted in anger.
"Eli." Did he really care that much about me?
she looked over at Blaze and saw him looking over at the two humans with a pained expression; he looked worried for his human.
After a bit the two stopped talking me and Blaze called off the battle and went over to them.
*End flashback, Pikachu Pov*
"He really does care about me." I thought as Eli double checked me for any wounds he may have missed.
"I can't really find anything else, I guess you're alright." He told me as he tried to put me in his jacket, I struggled and whined in protest but he said. "Got to hide you again buddy, sorry." I sighed with great reluctance as I went inside.
The walk home had me thinking about some stuff. That Nick guy for example, he just fought with Eli and nearly killed him, then gave him a potion to heal me and left like it was a just a friendly scrap! What is his deal?!
And that Growlithe Blaze, He seemed different then some Pokemon I've encountered back in my world, Stronger and faster, more brutal too. There was something in his eyes, fear. What could he be scared of?
Eli had walked all the way home with a limp and from his jacket I could see passerby giving him shocked looks or asking him if he's alright, he simply stated that he had a little scrap with someone and won. He would have a little laugh about it and continue walking.
We went inside his apartment and I was free to sit on the couch as Eli fixed himself up the best he could with what little supplies he had left, he came out of the bathroom and most of the blood on his face was gone showing bruises and some minor swelling, he also had a couple of bandages on some smaller wounds and a strip on his nose.
He plopped down on to the couch next to me with a sigh and looked at me, he Emerald green eyes were so amazing to look at. "So, how'd you like the park?" he asked me, his tone slightly pained.
"It was fun. Until that guy Nick came along and ruined it." I looked down and sighed heavily. "I was hoping to not get into any fights with other Pokemon. I thought I was the only one here, but I was proven wrong when Blaze came along."
Eli cracked his hands and replied. "Yeah." Of course he had no idea what I said. "There's something I should talk to you about." He told me, which caught my attention.
I switched my gaze from the floor to him as he started. "When we were unconscious in the basement, something weird happened to me while I was out." He sat up and leaned into a more comfortable position. "I woke up in a field, lots of grass. At first I thought I was going insane, but then again in this world who is sane?" he shook his head. "I walked for what seemed like forever until I came across this structure that looked like something from ancient Greece or something, when I went in further I saw this guy dressed in a bright white robe. Now this guy, if you'd believe me, was Palkia in human form."
I gawked at this. Lord Palkia, appeared to Eli? Why?
Eli continued. "That was a little weird, like why would the god of Space talk to me, why me out of all the people out there? I asked him and he said that you and me along with millions of others in this world are in danger." He looked away for a moment. "By the evil organizations from the games, Rocket Plasma Magma Aqua and Galactic, they're after people like me for some reason."
My eyes went wide "Danger?" I asked meekly.
He nodded. "He also told me something about my Aura about how it's unlike any he's seen before, I have both light and dark in me." he looked to me with a questioning look. "You know what that means?" he asked, wondering if I knew.
I shook my head, but… I do remember a legend from my Pichu days… Eli finishing his story jarred me out of my thoughts.
"And, there are others out there just like me, same Aura weirdness. Thing is, I've never heard of that in the show, a person having both light and dark in them." He voiced with suspicion. "Which begs the question, what could they, the teams, want with us?"
I just sat there, aghast at what I just heard from Eli. He met with Lord Palkia, told Eli that he along with me and millions of others are in danger, and they want him because of his unique Aura? "I think there's more to this then we think."
Third Person Pov, Secret Location.
In the Lotus bunker deep beneath the earth the hooded man was walking down the long hallways, his footsteps nonexistent and his robe slightly dragging behind him. His face was contorted in thought as he walked aimlessly through the large bunker they had found back in the fifties.
"Eli, just who are you." Earlier he had gotten a report from one of the techs confirming Eli having Dormant Aura and one of ancient descent like the others they have captured, this has gotten the Lotus order one step closer to their goal.
He then remembered he had scheduled a meeting with several people in the main hall, he quickly turned around and began walking there. He passed several grunts clad in custom made armor colored white with the insignia of the order emblazoned on the shoulder and they carried small arms like submachine guns or pistols, their helmets were standard combat helmets colored the same as their other gear. They looked on at the head of the order, some look on with respect while others look on with fear.
He grinned. They should fear him as he didn't become the head of the order because of his charm he did it through hard work and various unmentionable acts he committed.
The door to the hall came into view and it looked the same as always. Old and rusty looking with the insignia spray painted on the front, it was faded as it was put there years ago. The door opened as he approached without him touching anything.
Inside of the room was a large oval shaped oak table painted jet black with the insignia carved right in the middle, several chairs were situated around it with a larger one at the head of the table. Several of the people he was to meet with were already seated, four individuals all dressed in different attire.
The first wore an expensive looking suit which was jet black with a white under shirt and black tie. His graying hair was combed and fixed neatly and he had a calm expression on his face as his dark brown eyes was studying the head of the Lunar order with interest. On his suit was a small pin of four intertwined snake's colored light green. His name was Marcus Simmons.
The second wore full military attire with the only exceptions being his face, his armor was jet black with various alien like plates on his shoulders fore arms and knees and a bigger one on his chest. His head was shaved and his red eyes were locked with the third member of the room. His name was John O'Connell
The third was in fact an alien. It stood about six, maybe seven feet tall and wore heavy looking blood red armor that covered its whole body save for parts of the joints and its hoof like feet, and its head was covered by a large helmet that only showed his reptilian like eyes, its eyes were locked with the one dressed in full military combat attire, the second member. He was a Covenant Elite named Ly'kai.
The fourth and final member was radically different than the others in the room as it was a hologram, showing a large brain with eyes? His name was Dr Lukas Metzger
The head of the order sat in the chair overlooking the others as his lackey, a teen female dressed in a white jacket and blue jeans stood next to him, she had long brown hair and violet colored irises and looked on at everybody with a dull expression. Her name was Eve.
Lukas turned to the head of the order and actually spoke. "Jeffery, ven are ve going to start zis pointless discussion?!" he questioned, Lukas was apparently German.
The head of the order now known as Jeffery answered calmly. "Soon my old friend soon, we must wait for the others before we start so please, relax." He told him, trying to calm the overzealous scientist.
Just as he said that the door flew open making everyone look to who just barged in, in the doorway was three people, the others have arrived.
The first was a teenager wearing a filthy open hoodie and tank top with jeans, and no shoes. and had a ghastly looking expression on his face, his eyes were sunken in and bloodshot and his hair was matted down to his skull and covered in filth, his mouth was contorted into a twisted smile showing rotten teeth and his lips looked like they were rotting. His footfalls were light and uneven, like he was about to fall over. His name was Steve, I know original right?
The second was a large six foot tall beast of a man wearing blood red colored armor that was jet black in places and the armor was battered in places but still looked like it could go on for a hundred more battles. The helmet was the same as the armor red/black with the visor being a heavily tinted orange obscuring any chance of seeing this beast's face. His footfalls were heavy and made a clanking sound. His name was Jigsaw and he was a Spartan! But what was he doing here?
The third and final one to enter was a female. She walked into the room with the grace of a dancer. She wore a long black silk dress that was flowing behind her from a phantom wind, her long white hair hung down to her hips, her footfalls were almost ghost like as she gazed at the rooms occupants with her light blue eyes. Her name was Ann.
"Ah." Jeffery started. "Our final guests have arrived at last." he voiced as they seated themselves, with the exception of the Spartan. "Now onto what we must discuss." He started as a large monitor appeared at the front of the room from the ceiling it turned on showing several locations.
One was Eli's apartment and inside he was giving Pikachu a bath which she seemed to enjoy, but she was also splashing Eli with water much to his amusement.
The second was of a small house just twenty miles away from Eli's place, inside a two young siblings were battling one another with their Pokemon, they looked like they were having the time of their lives.
The third was of a rustic looking house covered partially in overgrowth with various sized boards covering the windows and an overgrown yard, outside a teenager was walking around in a circle randomly swinging a stick around with an expression of glee.
The fourth was of the same house but inside there was a girl glued to her laptop on a website called tumblr, she was oblivious to the world around her as she typed away looking at posts.
The fifth was the same place but inside was a girl on her laptop watching a show called merlin, she was fangirling all over the main character.
The sixth was of an apartment in New York where inside a teenager was working out to the sounds a song called baby got back, seems legit.
And the seventh was of a hospital room where a young girl was in a coma due to a car accident, she was technically brain dead.
"Who are these people?" Ann asked curiosity in her voice.
"These Ann, are individuals that pose a significant threat to our individual causes, people who need to be dealt with before they learn of us and of the Day of Awakening." He stated, grinning at the thought of them all being brutally tortured and killed… slowly of course.
Ann replied. "How could children like these pose a threat to us?" she asked, she looked at image of the one teen swinging a stick, he broke it and his expression went from happy to sad. "That one looks incredibly incompetent!"
Jigsaw was looking at the girl in the hospital room. "That one is in a coma." He added, he felt sorry for the young girl.
"Yes Jeffery, how do zey pose a threat to us?" Lukas asked as everyone began asking questions.
"They all have Dormant Aura." he said, making the room silent.
"Dormant Ayra? How!?" Ann asked in shock, Dormant Aura?
Jeffery nodded. "I do not know how Ann. All I know is that each one of them is a direct Descendent of the chosen ones from eons past." He looked away, recalling memories of the Uprising. "The ones we fought in the Uprising war, the ones who denied our rightful places as gods among man." His fists clenched. "They are the ones who forced us into hiding for the next millennium until we could rise again, the ones who forced us to make the shadows our home." He nearly yelled, remembering the past.
Everyone except Steve and Jigsaw nodded as Jigsaw was actually new to the order, being only 12 in Spartan years and Steve was too busy trying to catch a fly that entered the room. "If you do not mind me asking, what is this Dormant Aura?" he asked as he felt everyone's eyes fall on him the moment he said that.
Dr Lukas answered for everyone, being one of the few who lost his body during the Uprising war and lived to tell about it and one of the few who understands the danger the Dormant Aura users pose. "Dormant Aura is a very dangerous type of Aura found only in a few who are 'Chosen' to vield it, it is at least two times stronger zen normal Aura found in ze the Aura guardians. It takes on a completely different color depending on ze individual." He paused to see if he was listening, he was so he continued. "Imagine being able to uze unique Aura abilities based on your actions in life, gaining special powers not even known by ze Precursors themselves!" he exclaimed.
"Interesting." Jigsaw mused, he wondered if he could be one of these 'Chosen' it's possible.
"And Zere's more to it zen zat!" he added as he floated little too close to jigsaw who retreated a bit, yeah he was a hologram but still, brain with eyes, gross. "But even ze Order doesn't know everyzing, so our records are… incomplete." He said as he went back to his side of the table much to jigsaw's relief.
"So, these Dormant Aura users are different than normal Aura users?" Jigsaw questioned, wondering how that is. Jeffery pulled out a remote and changed the screen to show someone being held captive in a room, it was an adult wearing tattered clothing and looked beaten up and on his back was a large parasite like organism latched onto him. "What is that?"
"That is David, one of our 'voluntary' Dormant Aura users." He replied, grinning madly as he hit another button. "Watch."
The Parasite on his back started to glow a dull red, David stood up from the chair and opened his eyes which was also the same color as the parasite on his back. He walked to the center of the room and held his arms out from his body, everyone in the room watched as David's arms started to shake slightly. He turned his palms up and bits of swirling energy started to gather until it became two solid orbs that floated a few inches above his palms. His face was emotionless as he held them.
Everyone in the room minus Jeffery Jigsaw and Lukas had their jaws dropped, couldn't see jigsaw's anyway. "What the hell? He's one of them!" Ann bellowed in disbelief.
Jeffery nodded. "Yes he is."
"What is that thing on his back?" Marcus questioned, his voice identified him as British.
"This my friends is the answer to all of our problems." He gestured to the parasite. "That is the Purge Parasite."
"Amazing, so what does it do?" John questioned, wanting to know more about this find.
Jeffery chuckled. "It allows us control over whoever is wearing one like David for example, is under our control and is fully obedient to our every desire." He demonstrated by pressing another button on the remote.
The orbs hovering over David's hands started to grow in size until they each were about the size of a basketball, he threw one against the wall and it splattered against it like paint. Then to everyone's surprise the paint like substance caught fire, the flames were black as night as the wall seemingly melted away into a pile of sludge.
"It forces the Dormant Aura in that person to show itself to the parasite and when it does the parasite takes ahold of the Aura and that person's will, essentially taking over their minds. It feeds off of that person's Aura and turns into something more powerful." He finished, there was more to it than that but he was holding back.
"Hmm. What happen if one were to take this parasite off of the host?" Ann asked.
"Zey die horribly." Lukas answered, his voice filled with glee. "If you take it off of zem it vill cause a rather 'explosive' reaction in ze blood stream making zem implode from ze inside out, taking out everything near zem." He grinned. Wait, can a brain grin? "Ze reason is because when it imbeds its spines into ze spinal column it releases smaller Parasites into ze bloodstream vhich vill cause a chain reaction in ze blood making ze individual implode if ze parasite is removed from ze host body." He finished.
Jigsaw was, for the lack of a better word speechless. These things were dangerous. "What if they were put on someone who had no Dormant Aura?"
Lukas chuckled evilly. "Zey either become have zier mind taken over and turned into our own little personal army or mutate into a horrible uncontrollable monstrosity." He answered like it was a prepared speech.
Ly'kai hadn't spoken the whole time he was here, so he decided to voice his thoughts on this Parasite. "Where exactly does this parasite originate from? It is certainly not of earth origin."
"They come from the void rivers inside of the realm of darkness, its troublesome to get them bit worth it." he replied, remembering all of the grunts he had sent there and only three or four came back with a container filled with Purge Parasites.
Steve had caught said fly and was eating, much to Ann's disgust. "So what are we gunna do wit dem?" he asked, eager to know the answer.
He changed the screen image to show one of an island, it looked like the tropical paradise of Hawaii. "This is Hawaii, during tourist season hundreds of people will gather here for the summer and enjoy it's beaches and various other activities. We will stage our first attack here, where some of the people you saw earlier will appear. We must capture them alive."
"Why not capture them while they're at home?" Marcus questioned. "Would that not be easier?
"We could have, if those blasted guardians hadn't placed several protection spells around them." he muttered in anger, the spells prevent him and his cohorts from being near them so he's had to resort to using his lackeys to do his bidding. "Damn the guardians and all they stand for."
Everyone nodded in agreement, except Jigsaw. "When will the attack take place?" Marcus questioned, fiddling with the ring on his finger.
"We will attack two weeks from now."
"And why here?" John asked, wondering why they're attacking Hawaii. "Why not a high profile place like DC?"
"Because Hawaii is the only place where the black gate can be opened to its fullest." He answered, much to the shock of everyone.
"Th-the black gate!?" Ann stammered out. "You can't be serious!"
"I'm dead serious Ann, I am going to bring 'him' back." he stated with finality.
Lukas turned to him. "You know I'm vith you all ze vay but attempting to open ze black gate is preposterous! It vould take an insane amount of dark Aura! Somezing Zat, last time I checked, you don't have!" He nearly yelled, he was concerned about Jeffery.
"It is perfectly sane my old friend, and as for the requirements, I have them."
"How?"
He pointed to the screen as it changed back to David, he was standing prone. "It's right there."
Ly'Kai's face went from confusion to one of realization. "You're going to use the Dormant Aura to open the gate? It can do that?"
He nodded. "Yes it can, why do you think I have that fool in the first place? All I need are a few more possessing the Dormant Aura and I will be able to open it." he said, getting murmurs in response.
"What about the Guardians? Won't they retaliate?" Marcus wondered.
"Yes, they will. Which is why I need all of you to protect me and the users until the gate is opened, once it has been opened hell shall rain from the skies and we will finally be rid of them once 'he' has returned."
Everyone then began speaking to one another about this matter, attempting to open the black gate will surely be troublesome. Especially with using Dormant Aura as that has never been done before, not even by the order.
After five minutes of bickering back and forth Marcus stood. "We shall do this, for the order."
"For the order." Ann declared, standing.
"For the order." Ly'kai declared as well.
"For the order." John declared, thrusting his fist outward.
"For ze order!" Lukas Yelled, getting overexcited.
"For Blood!." Steve yelled, biting his arm.
"F-for the order." Jigsaw muttered, feeling odd.
"For the order." Eve said proudly.
Jeffery chuckled darkly. "Fools."
Jackson Steele Forest, Nick Pov.
"That kid sure can fight." I muttered painfully as I tended to my wounds, me and Blaze had left that kid Eli and his rat to lick their wounds while me and Blaze contemplated what to do next.
Blaze sat next to me and watched as I wiped away the blood that caked my face and neck, I had a bandanna to do that with.
I was sitting next to the small river that ran through the forest using the water to clean my injuries seeing how I didn't have the luxury of having a medical kit nearby, why don't I just go to a hospital? Well kinda hard to do seeing how I'm a wanted criminal.
"Growlithe!" Blaze agreed with my earlier comment about Eli, probably about that Pikachu.
I chuckled. "That Pikachu got you pretty good, huh?" I commented as he quickly turned away and growled deeply. "Heh, I think you got a crush." I said aloud, getting his attention.
"Growlithe! Growl!" he protested, a hint of red on his maw.
"Now I didn't really say who you have a crush on now did I?" I teased him that was fun to do when I was bored. Blazes maw, despite being somewhat red got even redder. "Ha! You got a thing for that Pikachu don't you?" I laughed out. Blaze, did not think that was funny and launched a fireball nearly hitting me if I hadn't dodged. "Grouch." I muttered as Blaze smirked, jackass.
I got back up off the ground and sat back down on the rock I was on, thinking about what to do now. "They told us to watch this guy, but for what, a couple hundred dollars? I think we need a little more than that." he said, pulling out his pockets which were empty save for lint. "Can barely feed ourselves now." Blaze whined at the mention of food, it had been at least four days since we last ate.
"Growl, Growlithe." Blaze told me.
"No, you're not the problem it's me not having any money." I groaned out, stupid Order of. What were they called again? Order of the lily or something, some kind of stupid flower. "Guess we can always steal some more food."
I stood up with a yawn and stretched my stiff joints. "But where do we get some food?" I wondered as a plan hatched itself. "No one really knows us here, so why don't we could try that restaurant down the road. Bet they could 'liberate' some grub." I said with a fake evil laugh. Blaze shook his head as we made our way into town.
Eli's Apartment, Eli Pov.
"Thanks for giving me a bath also Pikachu." I uttered, sarcasm lacing each word.
I had decided to give Pikachu a bath which she enjoyed a lot, she pretty much lost it when I put bubbles in there much to my amusement. But then she started splashing water everywhere, now I didn't have a problem with that, until by some twist of fate she pulled me into the bathtub.
Now I was sitting in the tub with Pikachu who was struggling to hold in laughter. "Hmm, yes this is quite funny." I told her, who was covered in bubbles.
"Pika pi pika!" She laughed out. She then walked over to me and hopped oto my shoulder.
"What are yo-" before I could ask anything she covered my mouth with bubbles then proceeded to make a bubble beard on my face, then she was done she hopped down and inspected to her work.
She nodded. "Pi." Then started laughing her ass off, I shook my head.
Then an idea formed in my head as I grabbed some bubbles, she didn't see. "Let us see, how you like it!" I then threw some bubbles at her and said. "Eli used bubble attack!" I then proceeded to make various shapes on her head, when I was done she looked hilarious! "Ha!" I laughed. I made a bubble hat on her head that drooped a little and mustache.
She scowled but laughed along with me, I bet we both looked ridiculous. I sighed then got up, my clothes were sopping wet and I was covered in bubbles thanks to Pikachu. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her expression go from happy to sad when I got out.
"I thank its time I took a bath anyway, need to dry off?" I asked her. She nodded then got out, carrying a big bubble which she threw at me. "You win." I smiled as I helped her dry off, her fur was all poofy when she was dry so she scampered off into my bedroom to fix that. I then closed the door and got out of my clothes to take a shower.
Eli's Apartment, Pikachu Pov.
I sighed as I saw all of my fur was standing out and made me look like a puffball, I licked my paws and smoothened my fur so it was back to its original state. I smelled like that soap Eli used, Watermelon scented soap. I took a big whiff of it and sighed dreamily. "This smells so good." I said aloud to myself.
While I sat on Eli's bed I could hear him singing in the shower, curious about what he was singing I crept up to the door and listened.
"I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other bruthas can't deny. That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in ya face you get sprung, I looked and noticed that butt was stuffed. Deep in the jeans she's wearing I'm hooked and I can't stop staring oohhh baby! I wanna get wit ya and take yo picture~!"
I nearly fell over in laughter, he was singing that song? "Oh sweet merciful Mew! Hahahahahahaahaa!" Oh I haven't heard that in years.
My laughter was interrupted as Eli stepped out wearing a fresh pair of clothes, a tight black tee shirt and jeans. "What's so funny?" he asked, drying his hair on a towel.
I whistled innocently. "Oh nothing." As I hopped back onto his bed, I bounced a little before settling down.
Eli yawned and stretched before plopping down on the bed next to me. "Today has been way too long, and I'm beat." He looked at me with tired emerald eyes, some of his wounds were still there. "That was a pretty intense battle wasn't it?"
I nodded. "Yeah, but are you feeling alright?" I asked in concern, pointing to his wounds.
He touched one and winced. "Yeah I'm fine, just need to rest. That wasn't the first fight I've been in you know." I looked to him in mild shock. He's been in other fights? "But that's a story for another time buddy. For now let's just get some sleep."
I smiled and crawled over to him, he was about to ask until I gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "What was that for?" he asked me, as he looked at me.
"For being so nice to me… and for being there." I mumbled the last part as Eli hugged me.
"Well, thanks buddy. You're a good pal… you know I'm glad I found you that day, because you've been an awesome friend since then. Hell you've been my only friend." He admitted, his voice sounded like he was choking up.
I looked up at him, there was something in his eyes I haven't seen since I've been with hi, loneliness. Feeling sympathy I hugged him back as tightly as I could, I wish I was bigger.
"Thanks." He said, hugging me back tightly but not too tight, didn't want to suffocate me.
Seconds later, we fell asleep.
A/n Dustchu: Whew! Finally I got this done! I hope all of you enjoyed this chapter for it's the longest one for this story.
