In the light snow, The Hibernator pokemon walked slowly, leaning on the Atrocious pokemon for support. He panted out, looking ahead, he and Kingdra went separate ways, they were sent to stop the two fighting starters just above them. The mountain lowers just a bit up ahead, however what the two did not know, along the way two of their comrades awaited for death to overcome them.

["Sorry."]

Ursaring looked up at the red pokemon with a questioning look. ["Huh?"]

Gyarados looked down, sliding on the ice to move ahead slowly. Ursaring looked into his eyes and noticed he was feeling regretful, the look on his face reminded him of his own son that would were the same look of regret and guilt. He quickly shook of the imagine of his son from his mind, listening to the red pokemon. ["I couldn't do anything back there…"]

["That's alright."] with his claw, Ursaring rubbed his side to comfort him. ["Let's just stop those two and wait for our Master to return with Queendra."]

["Yeah.. Alright…"] Gyarados slither, letting his mind wander free and dangerously. Recalling the time he felt this useless. Back when his Master suddenly walked in their base, and just broke down completely.

~And I lost, who I am. And I can't, understand. Why my heart is so broken. Rejecting your love.~

["Ah! Master~!"] the red Gyarados smiled happily at the arrival of his Master. Silver noticed his happiness and gave an awkward smile, a small one that can barely be seen, but it was still there. The Gyarados lowered his head, as Silver had some troubled placing his hand on of his horns.

Yet he did so, and patted him, as if he was some pet. "Hey…"

~Without love gone wrong, Lifeless words carrying on. Without, love gone wrong, lifeless words carry on.~

The moment he heard him speak, all he heard was sadness, once he looked up to his Master the red Gyarados was stunned to see his red-haired Master have tears in his eyes. ["M-… Master…?"] he tilted his head, looking at him curiously, wondering if he was okay.

"I wonder… if I was a pokemon… would I still be…." Gyarados saw tears run down the boy's cheek, Feraligatr and Queendra came near, wondering what their Master was saying. "Would I be…."

~But I know, all I know, is that the end's beginning. Who I am, from the start. Take me home to my heart.~

Ursaring wore a shock expression, hearing the tears pour out in the redhead's voice. Sneasel looked down, obviously knowing why Silver was acting this way, he couldn't help but shed a few tears before his trainer. "Would I be… useful to her…?"

The pokemon heard a sob, Murkrow back away from his shoulders shaking Master, Silver looked down, slowly bring his hands to his face. "Would she… would be still here….!? I-…. I-..!"

~Let me go, and I will run, I will not be silent. All this time, spent in vain. Wasted years, wasted gain.~

The pokemons can practically hear Silver breakdown and shatter, the Exchanger made another sob before falling to his knees, eyes shut tightly, teeth gritting, trying to force back the sobs. Gyarados back up a bit, confused to what to do, this never happened before, even if it did, he still wouldn't know how to comfort him. Sneasel watched Silver place his arms around himself, silently crying. Gyarados nudge his trainer, which only made the redhead bury his face on the bed close by.

Gyarados flinched to this and back away, terrified, scared, confused. Ferealigatr reached out, but stopped mid-air, not knowing what to do, Ursaring was confused, Queendra didn't even dare look at him, even Sneasel was lost to what to do. All we did was just watch him.

~All is lost, but hope remains. And this war's not over. There's a light, there's a sun, taking all the shattered ones.~

["Mas… ter…?"] Queendra had shook her and waited for him to stop on his own. Gyarados looked down, feeling powerless. Exactly what he was. He was sure everyone remembered this day. He was sure everyone felt the same. After this event, the pokemons Silver collected all put their differences aside and became something they all knew the boy needed.

Silver noticed it, the more caring attitude they gave. Queendra was the only female, and knew Silver from before. She was somewhat of the Mother. Ursaring was already a father, it was natural to him.

~To the place, we belong. And his love will conquer.~

["Gyarados?"]

["Huh? Oh…"] the red pokemon shook his head violently, placing that memory deep in the back of his mind. Ursaring stopped using his friend for support and took a few feet ahead. ["Uhh?"]

Ursaring looked in the snow deeply, seeing something or not. ["Is that… what I think it is?"] he took another step closer, trying to get a better view. What he saw was steel and fur being buried in the snow. ["AH!"]

The bear gained energy to run to where the furs were being buried. ["SNEASEL! ATARO!"]

Ursaring dug them out of the snow, when he touched them, they were freezing. A new level of cold. The fear that they were no longer with them paralyzed the bear with fear. Gyarados soon came and looked at the zoned out pokemons. Dried blood stained Sneasel's arm. Ataro's back had a darker purple bruise following his spine. ["Are they alive?"]

["Shhh, of course they are."] Ursaring had hoped. He laid them down in the snow and shook them slightly. ["Sneasel.. Can you hear me?"]

["Who are you?"]

Gyarados and Ursaring swiftly look behind them where an injured Skarmory panted. Ursaring stood up, trying to prepare himself for battle. Skarmory glared at the two, his panting became harder the more he moved until finally he fell on his knees unable to stand. ["Damnit.."]

Ursaring looked at him, knowing there was no battle today. ["We are pokemons who are looking for our Master."]

["I am the Sky Guardian of this Forest."] the two exchanged looks, Skarmory then looked down at the two zoned out pokemons. ["They with you?"]

["Yeah."]

The bird sighed out annoyed. Gyarados watched him as Ursaring tried to re-waken the two fallen pokemons, a bit more desperately this time. A sigh of relief escaped the bear's lips, once Sneasel moved and Ataro groaned. ["Oh thank God…"]

Sneasel slowly sat up, shaking his head to get his vision clear. Ataro was still laying down, shaking from the cold, still unable to move his spine, Ursaring had already figured as much and brought the monkey to his arms, trying to share their heat. Sneasel yelped out at the shooting pain his claw gave him. His body ache painfully. He wasn't sure if he can last much longer. ["Ack… I can't… it hurts.."]

["P-Put me down… I ca-can…wa-.."] Ataro's voice slowly broke, he tried moving which caused him pain. Skarmory was on his knees, just waiting for something to happen. Gyarados felt something touch him. When he looked around there was nothing, though he felt it again, and again, getting more pressured.

Sneasel looked at the ground. ["The ground's shaking…"]

Gyarados looked around, trying to find the source. ["An avalanche?!"] Ursaring looked around, protectively and worried. There snow field was clear, there was no natural disaster accruing. Skarmory listened closely, he turn his attention to where the mountain lowered, a giant shadow was drawing near them. ["Is that one of your buddies?"] the bear asked, glaring at the steel bird.

Skarmory squinted his eyes to see if it was who thought it was. The shape was like an overgrown bear. A very round bear. ["That's…"] fear dawn upon the bird, he squawked and tried to get up, wanting to move away, Gyarados and Ursaring widen their eyes to see The Sleeping Pokemon; Snorlax. ["THAT IS NOT AN ALLY!"]

The dark blue pokemon raised up his claw, quickly gathering air to power up his fire blast around his paws. Skarmory squawked out in fear, unable to move away. Gyarados automatically took action, instinctively rushing to cover the steel bird and take the attack to his scales. It didn't help his previous burns from Kingdra's water. ["GRAAAAHH!"]

["Hey! What you are doing!?"] Ursaring growled, partly confused to who to be angry at. Skarmory was now shock to see the enemy side protecting him. Sneasel stared at the steel bird, just now he caught a glimpse of a different personality.

Gyarados' tail whipped around the bird, grabbing him and backing away from the Snorlax. ["He's hurt!"] shouted the shiny pokemon.

["He's the ENEMY!"]

Skarmory glanced at the red pokemon, his attention then went to the Sneasel sitting up gripping his claw. Ataro was falling back to sleep as Ursaring held him close. ["Look."] once the two were beyond the Snorlax's reach. Skarmory could barely stand, his wings were slowly recovering, he knew he would not survive this. ["I-…"]

["YOU! COME BACK HERE!"] the Snorlax growled viciously, violently glaring at the bird, Sneasel noticed the fear in his eyes, and something else he couldn't place. Gyarados roared back and head butted the Sleeping Pokemon back. ["AAAAARRRGHH! OUT OF MY WAY!"]

With his claws, Snorlax gripped onto the Gyarados' horns and tried to push him back. Ursaring widen and winced to this. Sneasel tried to stand up, but ended up falling on his stomanch. ["I can't…. move…"] Skarmory looked at the pokemons around him.

The Aipom couldn't move, neither can the Sneasel. The Ursaring looked roughed up already, he himself can barely stand, and the Red Gyarados was a few burn marks on his scales. Sneasel's face twisted with pain, Gyarados' rage was growing, giving him more power. Skarmory was about to ask for help from the trespassers.

["Get up."]

Ursaring took a step back as Ataro jumped from his grip. His back ache making him stand with on leg and the other knelt on the snow, it was obvious he was freezing, but had enough body heat thanks to Ursaring. Sneasel sighed out, trying to stand up, instead he had the same position as Ataro, only different legs making it look like a prefect stance. Ursaring glanced towards Gyarados who gave them both a smile. ["Obviously, we can't just let one of our pals fight alone."]

Getting into a battle stance, Ursaring nodded. ["Might as well."] Skarmory looked at the four, preparing to fight, Gyarados at snaked around the three. Sneasel held a bit of bitterness towards the bird, though he wasn't going to display it until after he fight is over with. ["Are you joining or what?"] Ataro asked, panting out from the lack of energy.

Snorlax growled violently, raising his claw once more, only the air around it became misty, damp, then into water. Skarmory looked at his wing that was made for attacking, he scowled and glared back at the Snorlax. ["Yeah, I'm in."]

As the water made contact with the snow, the Water Pulse splash everywhere, ripping the air. Everyone heard the sounds and knew the water can slice them. Skarmory protected everyone by using Air Cutter to slash the water in half. The water drops mixed with the falling light snow, created snowflakes around the. All five pokemons were now on one side, giving a strong gaze at the enrage Snorlax prepared to fight again him.

["Can I ask you a question?"]

["Wasn't that one already?"]

Murkrow thought about this for a moment, he then scowled at the Glaceon and kept flying normally. ["That girl is your trainer isn't she?"]

The Glaceon kept walking, swaying her paws sassily, like she had in the beginning. ["It's a possibility~"]

Murkrow rolled his eyes. He kept gently flying, going down the mountain to where Snowflake said she saw his Master fall. the name calling had come to a crease, mainly because Snowflake was still thinking about what the bird had said to her before during their battle. Murkrow was more confused, about himself and what was happening around him. ["Why are you helping us?"]

Snowflake scoffed at him. ["I never said help. I am not helping you."]

Murkrow frowned at her, he then went closer to her still in the air. ["I don't believe you."] Snowflake stopped walking. She stayed silent, as the black bird waited for her to make a move.

["That's your choice then."] her voice had darken. ["However. If you get in my way. I won't hesitate."]

She started walking, acting as if that hadn't happen. Murkrow had a soft frown on his face, both in serious and confusion. He flew softly, only a bit distance, wondering what she met. The black bird sighed, thinking about anything else besides his situation now. He went back to his past, before he made Silver and before he ended up in this Ice Wasteland. He wondered if things would have been different if he never allowed himself to be captured. ["Hey, brainless bird."]

["Hm?"] apparently he had already come to terms with his new nickname. He stopped as he saw something in the deep forest make it's way into the blizzard they were in. Murkrow squinted his eyes to see something a with a long neck. ["Wha…"]

["Tch."] Snowflake went into a battle stance, violent and eyes flaring with blood thirst. Her front half bent down like a cat. Murkrow wince, something he did often due to the blizzard and went behind the ice type. His claws touched the ice, making him whimper from the cold. How long can I survive this weather I wonder…["It seems we have another fight headed our way."]

Lapras, the Transport Pokemon. ["Traitor!"]

Snowflake let out a chuckle, a vile almost evil chuckle. ["You always know how to flatter a girl~"]

The Lapras was no amused, inhaled slightly in, breathing the cold ice around her. ["I will punish you for your betrayal!"] Snowflake growled and rammed Murkrow to the ground, far away from Ice Beam attack the blue shelled pokemon sent out. Snowflake barely made it out of the sharp rapid icicle that was created in the air.

She growled violently, the blizzard around her started to turn into tiny diamonds. Soon her paws started to give out a mist. Murkrow shook his head and saw the battle about to unfold. The cold winds around him felt harsher then before, making him cough out, his wings soon felt like lead. Damnit!

["The two most powerful Guardians facing off."] Snowflake's voice sounded amused yet dark. ["I wonder who will live at the end of this."]

["GRAAAH!"]

The ghost ice type pokemon was violently bashed to the rocky snow cave. She slide down on her bum, trying to breath from the sudden blow. Kingdra panted angrily, having a certain blood thirst in her eyes wanting to melt the little witch in front of her. The Froslass soon floated up, patting away the dirt from herself. It didn't take long for that cocky smirk to come back on her face. Kingdra went a bit closer, her voice low and dark, full of rage. ["How do you know that name!? TELL ME!"]

Her voice echoed throughout the caves, forgetting about the Zubats that lived in it. Froslass chuckled out. ["Simple."] going around the water type and a bit closer to the deep cave. ["I was there too."]

At this, Kingdra's red eyes widen to an impossible way, her pulps were now a dot. Many thoughts rushed into her head, such as, Is she his pokemon? Was she a victim to us? Did one of us train her? How was she there?

These questions were left unanswered, before Kingdra can actually ask one of them, Froslass began to hovered deeper to the caves. ["I don't suppose you wantyour Master to be eaten by the Zubats."] she gave a sly chuckle t the end.

Kingdra's mind was unstable, she felt unsafe, she felt scared and angry, finally realizing the fact that her Master was indeed dead.she didn't these emotions, she felt cold yet hot, she felt nauseas and dull. Her mind, her body, her sanity was unbalanced and unstable. Froslass noticed this and chuckled. She foled her hands together and kept going deeper to the cave, this time with a gentle yet devious voice saying, ["Now now dear…. Come along. We need to find those bodies."]

Kingdra looked up at the ghost type. She slowly blinked and nodded. ["Yes… Ma'am."] as if she was under a spell, she dully obeyed and followed her. Lifelessly moving. Deep within her mind she was hurting.

Her Master was dead. The Master she's known for all her life was gone.A harsh fact she refused to believe, she stayed strong from the others, she had to be, she was strong, she was train by both Blue and Silver. She, Sneasel and Ursaring were the three main ones everyone depended on. Kingdra was always appointed leader in things like this, being the oldest, though Feraligatr said he was around her age. She was terrified being around the Froslass, she didn't clearly understand or knew how they were connected.

Her mind was in total chaos. This continued for what seem to be hours, yet it was only mere minutes. Kingdra tried to sort out her thoughts, as she followed the pokemon that caused her so much pain. Please…. Silver.. Be alive…

"ARGH!"

A chuckle was heard, a cocky one as well with shivering noises. On the edge of the mountain sat two boys. One with raven hair glared at the redhead who chuckled. "You think this is funny!?"

The redhead only smirk slightly. "Yes, I do."

"FFF-" Gold shivered violently, shaking in his place from the cold. "I don't..! I d-don't unders-s-stand!" the Hatcher gritted his teeth in attempt to stop the clattering of his freezing teeth. The blizzard around them were now gone, light snow fell thoughthem. Just an hour ago give or take, they had died quick and painlessly by falling off a very long cliff. "We're GHOST! HOW ARE WE STILL COLD!?"

Silver still wore his smirk, unlike Gold who was rubbing his shoulders to get a bit warmer, he was light clothing and acted like it was a normal weathered day. "We?"

Gold shot a glare, the best he can make with his frozen eyebrows. The Exchanger only chuckled again, looking out at the half frozen lake, the distance sun gave a nice appeal. Gold groaned again and tried to warm himself up, grumpy and sour. Silver on the other hand felt melancholy, both well and sad. Well of the view that was nice and sad because he was dead.

They were in a place where they can clearly see their Starter pokemons fighting, yet they choose to ignore it, Silver, because he knew it would eventually get solved, and Gold because he couldn't bare to look at them. On their left they see Sneasel, Gyarados, Ursaring, Ataro and a Skarmory fighting against a Snorlax. Silver mentally wondered where was Queendra headed in the cave with the pokemon he's never seen. He also wondered where was Murkrow. "Hey Gold?"

"Hm?"

"Why do you think we're still here?" the redhead turn his attention to the still shivering Hatcher. He only sighed at this and shrugged.

"Best guess?" the redhead nodded, wanting to hear his theory. Gold raised a finger in the air playfully. "God is taking a dump at the moment and forgot to deal with us first~"

Silver rolled his eyes looked to the side. "I should have known…" that I wouldn't get a real answer.

The raven haired boy only giggled boyishly. "Hey you asked~!"

"Yeah yeah…" the setting brought back memories. Ones that made the cruel fact they will no longer see anyone else much more painful. The two of them wondered how the other was doing, they haven't cried or said anything. They just waited for something, anything to happen. Unknowingly the both of them asked themselves a question with no answer. Am I… really that okay with dying…?

["Sil… ver…?"]

Fear.

Grief.

Realization.

The Kingdra hovered there. Shocked to the very core. A red haired young boy laid on his sides, not breathing, not moving. Lifelessly sleeping eternally, never to awaken. Next to him was Gold, on his back, his hat fallen to the ground. Froslass was a few steps behind the water type, her mind and heart stopped, she stared at the dead body, not wanting to accept it yet forced to. ["No…. No… please… no…."]

["Now that you've seen the bodies. What will you do next?"]

Kingdea's heart ache, she made a whimper before slumping to the walls. She wasn't sure, she never thought they would be dead. She wasn't sure what to do or even feel. She couldn't even think. All she did was stare at the two lifeless Trainers.

What will you do next?
