["My only wish is to serve the Dark Prince"]
Silence consumed the field. Explotaro had his eyes widen with shock, he wasn't sure if he should believe her or not. Just what kind of pokemon was she anyways? Sneasel felt fear rise up to his legs. Yet he was a bit happy that they can save their trainers. However those last two words she spoke. Dark… Prince… how… how…
Fear turned into rage. ["You… do know Silver…"]
["Barely."] She raised her eyebrow. Suddenly the aura around him turned hostile.
Sneasel gripped both of his claws. ["Dark Prince…"]
["Is the red haired boy isn't it?"] Snowflake was playing with him. She smiled to herself when she saw Sneasel widen his eyes with pure rage.
The small injured ice type somehow found strength deep inside him. ["How…"] He growled and plunge himself at her. ["HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME?!"]
["Sneasel!"] ["GYACK!"] ["TELL ME!"]
["Nrgh…"]
["Careful now. You might have an headache."]
Blurry vision turtle motion became clearer. The Snorlax sat up to the best of his abilities and looked around at his surroundings. He saw the snowing field and he saw Ursaring next to him warming up from a camp fire. He looked around for the other pokemons but it was just the two of them in he same place he was took out at. He grunted and scratch his head. ["Don't attack. I just want to talk."]
["Wasn't planning to."] the Snorlax made it's way across the fire and looked at the bear pokemon. Ursaring never took his eyes off the fire. After hearing what Skarmory did he felt the need to help the broken Snorlax. ["Why are you hear."]
Ursaring can feel the low voice being filled with hostility. He only shrugged and poked the fire with a stick. ["I heard you lost your son."] Snorlax wasted no time conjuring fire, for a Fire Blast. It was much easier since he was looking a pit of fire. However Ursaring conjured up a Fire Punch and flicked his wrist, making the fire slam against Snorlax's arm. ["I said don't attack."]
Snorlax grunted and rubbed his burning fur. ["What do you want?"]
["I lost my son too."]
At this, Snorlax felt annoyed feeling as if the bear pokemon was pitying him. ["What do you think you're doing? I don't need pi-"]
["It's not pity. It's sympathy."]
The strict tone in Ursaring's voice. A tone that can be recognized by any male. It was a tone of a Father. Snorlax frowned and let the conversation carry out. The ring pokemon scratched his belly and sighed out. ["My wife died in an landslide. Right in front of my kid."] Snorlax looked down. It was almost scary how his own wife died in an Avalanche. ["I raised him and loved him with my very life. One day."]
Running his claw against his head, trying to bury his suppressed anger. ["Three kids came to my home. One of them tried to hurt my son. When he saw me he ran with the little girl. But I lived a cliff. The next thing I knew there was this other boy with red hair."] His mind flashed back to when Gold and Silver were trying to capture them. ["After a battle, they manage to trapped me and my son in pokeballs."]
Snorlax frowned. ["Me and my son were separated. I never got to see him again and I probably won't ever get the chance to. He's young so he might have already forgotten about me. I lost a son that day. And I hated that little redhead punk. For causing this."]
["You're son isn't dead though. You can't possibly know how I feel."]
["You're right. There is a difference. You're right, I don't' know how exactly you feel. But that's only one difference. We still have many other things in common."]
["How so?"]
Ursaring looked up at the big eater pokemon. His stone eyes were emotionless and squinted from the pain he was still feeling from the battles. He cracked his neck and sighed once more. ["I hated and blamed Silver for separating us. And I will never get rid of this empty void in my stomach. I know how it feels like to lose a son and I know how it feels like to hate someone for it. That much I can understand, that much I do understand."]
Snorlax shook his head to the sides. ["Hated. You don't anymore do you?"]
Ursaring sighed out, this time a bit hesitate. ["There was a time the boy started to randomly cry. You see, it took awhile to learn but my trainer has no parents."] Ursaring looked back down, Queendra appeared in his mind. She was the Mother figure in the team. And naturally he was the Father figure. Queendra and Sneasel were the only ones in the team who was there during Silver's childhood. He doesn't know the full story but he knows the redhead suffered just as much as he did.
He can recall the day clearly the redhead cried until he passed out. It was the first time he started to accept Silver as his trainer. ["The boy'a fragile. Subconsciously I guess I mad myself into something like a father. I lost a son but I gained support and friends. I gained a family. I do miss my son very much I do feel frustrated that I can't go find him. I take that out on pokemon battles. I somewhat moved on. And it's time you did too."]
["Don't tell me what to do."]
["That Skarmory is the one who you're angry at. Because of your blind hatred you lost everything around you."]
Snorlax stood up, balling his claws. ["I had already lost everything the moment my son died!"]
["WRONG!"] Ursaring stood up as well, stomping on the snow making the fire get weaker. ["You had friends- you has a family.-you had Partners and you gave that away just because you feel hurt and can't forgive!"]
["HE KILLED MY SON!"]
["NOTHING'S UNFORGIVABLE!"]
By now, the two fathers were just inches away from touching foreheads. They looked ready to pound each other to the ground, beat each other to a bloody pulp. ["YOU EXPECT ME TO FORGIVE A MURDERER!?"]
["I EXPECT YOU TO OPEN YOUR EYES!"]
Snorlax shoved the bear pokemon. He was snarling through his nose and clearly pissed off. Ursaring didn't fall back but moved a couple feets. He growled and shoved the big eater pokemon back. Ursaring shoved the pokemon again, seeing how it was much larger than himself, it was harder for the Snorlax to regain balance. ["You have a family they still cares about you!"]
["You don't know them! All they care is about themselves!"]
["THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TO!"] Ursaring sunk his claws in the Snorlax's shoulders. ["BUT THEY'RE JUST LIKE YOU, THEY'RE HURTING AND ALONE! MAKE THEM INTO A FAMILY, MAKE THEM THE REASON YOU LIVE RIGHT NOW!"] the bear pokemon pulled back his elbow. He took a good hard punch at him, right at his cheek making the other groan. ["Don't juST THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY and sink with your self pity! Nothing's unforgivable, you just don't want to forgive because you're selfish and hurt!"]
Snorlax staggered to keep his balance. He was currently in no position to try and strike back. Ursaring backed off and let the other think for a moment. He knew he would regret the day closing himself off to others. He knew one day that hatred and anger will disappear and he would wither away with regret. Wondering what could have been. As a pokemon who can understand, as someone who's been there. He wanted to make sure Snorlax opened his eyes now before it was too late.
The dark greenish pokemon sighed and rubbed his cheeks. ["I have nothing left. I've been replaced."]
["If they were your friends. Then you're not replaced."] Snowin looked up at the sky. Ursaring put out the fire and stretched his arm. Trying to make the numbness go away. ["I do hope my words didn't fall on deaf ears."]
With that, the bear started to walk away. Leaving behind the broken Snorlax. As he walked away with the light snow falling, he recalled the day he opened his eyes. The day he snapped out of his trance of hatred. It was ironic that the boy he hated did that to him. Silver wasn't the type to keep his pokemon locked up in the pokeballs unless he was traveling. At the secret bases he let them roam free.
"You want to leave… don't you?"
Ursaring chuckled as he heard his Master's voice starting to echo in his head.
"I don't understand your language. But I do understand how it feels like to be held in a place against your will."
The memory was clear, he would never forget this moment. In fact he often remembers it to remind himself why he was here. He can remember the way the redhead looked out at the window.
"You keep looking out the window. If you don't want to be here, then go."
They way he hesitantly placed his pokeball on the table. He knew the boy didn't want to give him up. And yet he was willingly to. He had always thought the boy was just heartless. But the next sentence he spoke proved that he was just awkward. He can still remember the slight pout on his face and the faint blush on his cheeks.
"But you have a place here in my team… um.. You'll always have a place here in my team…"
He can still recall how the redhead bolted away from him. During the night, he found the boy in the moonlight sulking. The glister tears in his shining eyes when he gave the redhead his pokeball and gesture to him that he was saying made Ursaring felt welcomed. It let him know that the redhead would be sad if he did leave. Knowing that made it clear that Silver gotten attached.
Ursaring stopped walking, his eyes was widen with realization. How did I miss this before…?
The bear pokemon brought his claw up to his line of sight. For the first time he understood what the redhead was trying to say to him back then. The words that he couldn't form quite right. His team was his family, back then what the redhead was trying to say was Heart. With a bitter chuckled Ursaring continued to walk, catching up with Gyarados and the others. Hoping that none of them tried to kill each other or pick a fight. He didn't even dare to look behind him. He was pretty sure the Snorlax was still there lost in his thoughts.
"You'll always have a place here in my heart…"
["GET OFF ME!"] Snowflake kicked her back legs trying to get the tiny ice type to let her go.
Sneasel slashed her ear which earn him an yelp from her. At this Sheer flicked his wing up, making the Sneasel fall back on his back. Snowflake scurried back to her feets and growled viciously at the Sneasel. Utaro only jumped back to avoid any fighting. ["Whoa whoa whoa!"] Feraligatr groaned, feeling exhausted from the long fist fight with the fire type.
Utaro quickly put out his branch to stop Sneasel from getting closer to the Snowflake. Sheer had stood in front of her with his defensive and only working wing shielding them. Feraligatr lazily got up to his feets, pushing himself off his knees. ["Sneasel, that's not how you ask a question."]
The tiny ice type only winced to his wounds and tried to growl. ["No one is supposed to know that name! TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW!"]
Sheer scowled. ["You indecent creature! Maybe if your brain wasn't as tiny as your height, you would know your place and mannerism!"] Sneasel barked. Or tried to yelp from the pain he felt and it came our more violent than planned. Utaro and Feraligatr took a moment to process the fact Sneasel barked.
["… what species are you again?"] Feraligatr cringed his face with confusion. Snowflake rolled her eyes and told Sheer to calm down.
Sneasel only sent a glare at the water type. ["How I know of this name is none of your concern."] Snowflake flicker her bangs in an sassy vile way. She was going to stay by her word and not say a word of her relation with Silver.
This made the weasel pokemon growl with pure rage. ["You bitch."]
["Don't."] Snowflake quickly demanded the Skarmory to not move. As much as he wanted to, he stayed still in the place he was standing at. Gyarados and Feraligatr were taken back that the tiny ice type had it in him. They assumed this was something from Silver's past, from before they entered the picture a months ago. ["I have a promise to keep. Whether you want me or not, I will going to their bodies."]
Feraligatr stood up at this. ["Where's Murkrow?"]
["I told you. We've been separated."]
["Where?"]
["Just up ahead."] Snowflake shook her head to rid of the dizziness she felt from Sneasel's tackle. She looked over to Sheer who had his broken shattered wing. Sneasel walked up to her. His glaring never left yet he wasn't going to pound on her anymore. ["I'm going with you to find our Masters."]
At this, Feraligatr stepped in front of Sneasel. ["No. We can't be sure, she might have done something to Murkrow."]
Utaro looked back at Sintaro who was annoyed and by Ataro's side. He walked over to them, this time picking up Ataro and letting the flower join the others. ["Sintaro, when you found her, was she alone?"]
Sintaro looked back at her memory. She recalled someone shouting the name of 'Snowflake' and assumed it the was falling ice type. She nodded. ["Sort of. Someone called out for her and she fell from a hill. I think It was Murkrow."]
So he's still alive… Feraligatr grunted, feeling faint. ["Fine.. Gyarados, go with Sne-"]
["No."] Sneasel went around the big jaw pokemon. ["I'm going alone with her."]
At grass type who winced at the snow frown at this. She couldn't help but claim Sneasel as an Traitor in her mind. Sneasel had an bleeding claw, and could barely walk. Then again, Sintaro must have done some major damage to Snowflake. She couldn't walk on one of her paws, her ear where Sneasel had cut her was bleeding and she was still roughing up with cuts. Explotaro laid down at the ice, his mind wasn't really paying attention. He was just trying to sort everything out. ["Sneasel, I really think you should at least bring Sinta-"]
["It's alright Feraligatr."] Sneasel shook his head. ["After all, we both live to serve the Dark Prince."] his strict frown never wavered from Snowflake. She tried her best to hid her shock from his words.
The two went into a staring contest. ["Sheer, go to the Princess and get that wing fixed."]
["Actually, I was trying to find you so that you can bring all of us to the kids bodies"]
Snowflake sweat dropped. ["Well we already established I'll be taking this ice type."]
["Yeah but I don't think they're going to let me go."] Sheer chuckled nervously. At this point Snowflake looked at the steel bird oddly.
Something was off, he was more. Open. ["Have you… bonded with them?"]
Gyarados was now interested in the conversation. ["What?!"] Sheer turned his body to the side. ["Don't be ridiculous! Who would want to bond with these indecent low life Pokemons!"]
Everyone in the group sweat drop at the defensive response. It only made it more suspicious for the bird. Snowflake rolled her eyes and started to walk away from them. Sintaro nudge Utaro for his attention. ["Are we just letting her go?"] Utaro only shrugged and sigh out.
Feraligatr watched Sneasel follow after the Glaceon. ["Hey."] the two of them glance back at the group. ["If he don't' come back here alive."] the big jaw pokemon showed off his blood stained teeth. His claws was dripping with blood and ready to kill. ["I'll come for you."]
Snowflake turned her head back but didn't move. ["My loyalty lies with you."] with that she kept walking away with an cautious Sneasel behind. Gyarados glanced over to Explotaro, he can tell the fire type was totally out of it. It was as if he was hallow inside. Utaro looked down as Sintaro kept sending daggers at the walking sassy pokemon.
["What do we do now?"] Gyarados went to Feraligatr who was coughing from his wounds. Sheer looked around, with a fire type they couldn't leave him alone for many obvious reasons. Every member here was badly beaten including him. Feraligatr just now noticed Gyarados. ["Gyarados! Are you alone?"]
["Oh… Queendra stayed behind to go in a cave to see our Master with some creepy lady and Ursaring stayed behind to watch over this crazy Snorlax. They told me to come here and stop you two from killing each other…"] Feraligatr turned his body to him.
Trying to sort out who was found and who was missing still. ["So both Sneasel and Queendra are with one of those Guardians to see our Masters?"]
It took a moment but Gyarados eventually nodded after some heavy thinking. Feraligatr turned to Sintaro and Utaro. ["Are you the only ones from Gold's side?"]
The two of them nodded a bit solemnly at that fact. Everyone from Silver's side has been found and is safe to Feraligatr's knowledge. Murkrow was missing but the bird can fly so he was sure he was just fine. Ursaring is someone who won't go down easily, and Queendra had a few tricks up her sleeves. Feraligatr nodded. ["Let's find those still missing. We all have to stick together."]
Sintaro was a bit shocked that one of Silver's pokemons was willing to go out and find the remaining missing members. Utaro already had tears in his eyes from his words. Sheer sweat drop, he honestly wanted to follow Snow. Looking a Explotaro and the grass type he nodded to himself. Feraligatr took Ataro and set him near the fire type. ["Sintaro and Ataro will stay here with Explotaro. Gyarados, you two will stay behind. Me, Utaro and this lighting rod will find the others."]
The Skarmory angry marked at the comment. ["What happens if we get attacked?"]
The grass type wore an concern tone in her voice. ["That's why you have Gyarados."] Feraligatr groaned and started to walk away. Gyarados nodded, knowing he had to protect his group at all cost. Utaro winced from the aftermath of getting blown by the water attack before. Sheer knew if he kept going at this pace, he wouldn't make it to see the next day. He had to heal himself somehow.
The group split and went their own paths. Utaro was looking around, making sure no surprise attacks him from anywhere. Feraligatr was like some dangerous dragon, pissed and tired. He was defiantly scaring off any weaker wild pokemons in the forest. Sheer only tried to think of ways to get himself to the Princess without running away. He then remembered the fact that most trainers who come here are here for the Crystal Heart. ["May I ask."]
["You already did."] obviously Feraligatr wasn't playing nice with the enemy.
Sheer angry marked already hating the water type's gut. ["Why did your trainers come here?"]
["They they were sent."] Utaro answered after a moment of silence knowing Feraligatr wasn't.
The Skarmory cocked his head to the side, a bit confused. ["Sent? by whom?"]
["The Galax Company."] Feraligatr was annoyed with the rock type's big mouth.
The steel bird swore he heard this name somewhere before. ["Galax?"]
["Utaro."] before the rock type can respond. Feraligatr cut in. ["Shut up."]
It was obvious that the hard one to get around was Feraligatr. Utaro nodded and looked back to the front trying to ignore the Guardian.
After what seemed to be eternity. Queendra finally got a grip on herself. ["If they haven't crossed over to the afterlife, then they are still in this plane. They can still be revived. Correct?"]
["I wouldn't get your hopes up."] Froslass sighed as Queendra ignored her comment. She tried to keep her composure strong. There was still hope, even if it was far and faint. A tiny slimmer was enough for her to keep going. The Haunter looked at her oddly. He glance at Froslass who avoided eye contact.
There was a long silence. Queendra kept her gaze at the ghost type. Froslass was conflicting in her mind. What would happen, is it truly possible to bring them back. Even with their bones like that. ["Well, aren't you going to answer me?"] Queendra's tone matches one of an higher authority. This ticked off the Queen pokemon next to her. It was becoming more clear that Froslass' issues began when Ursaring called her a Queen. It made the ice type feel threaten somehow. She hated that feeling.
Haunter stared hard at the water type eyes. She was serious about this, if he said yes, he was sure she would do anything to get her trainer back to life. ["Yes. They can be saved."]
Queendra's heart ache with hope and happiness. She knew if this failed she wouldn't survive this time around. ["How?"]
She got herself a shrug from the Ghost Type. ["I only bring the dead to the afterlife. I cannot bring someone back to life."]
["That doesn't mean there isn't someone here who can't." Froslass didn't look at the two. A part of her wanted to save the two boys from this fate. The water type looked at the Queen pokemon oddly. ["There is a girl here who can bring humans back to life."] Queendra widen her eyes as Froslass kept talking.
["She is the Princess of this Forest. She sleeps far from this cave."] the Froslass turned her gaze from the ground to Queendra's hopeful eyes. ["If you can get her to agree to your request. You can save those two."]
["Oh oh! However, by the time you find her, I would have already sent the two souls to the afterlife."] Haunter chuckled and covered his mouth with his giant hands. ["You don't have any time."]
At this comment Queendra grunted and growled out. She swiftly rammed her body against the Haunter. He only chuckled lightly and shook his finger. ["Ah-ha~"] the water type went straight through him, losing balance and falling to her sides. ["Have you forgotten I'm a Ghost Type."] he smirked a little at Queendra. ["You can't touch me."]
Queendra breathed hard through her nose. ['"She may not."] both of them swiftly turned their heads towards Froslass. ["But I can."] She flicked her hand to the side, creating a dark blade to hit Haunter. He was violently tossed back but regain balance quickly. Queendra was shocked that Froslass was helping. She was now reminded of eh battle they had with the bats just now. Diamond Dust…
Haunter hovered close to her. The tip of his fingers started to glow. ["Do you really wish to fight me? Love."]
Love?!
Froslass kept her gaze stone cold and locked on Haunter's eyes. They both can see hesitation being consumed by determination. ["Kingdra. On the east north of here. Deep in the Blizzard Forest. The Princess Slumbers deep within. If you met a pokemon named Snowflake, demand her to take you to the Princess."]
["Attempting to buy time are you?"] Haunter chuckled and got prepared for a battle. Queendra felt like she can trust Froslass on this. The look of desperation on the Ghost Type's face was enough for her to go on. Before any movements can be made. Everyone froze at the sudden intruding voice.
"That won't be necessary."
CONFUSION EVERYWHERE~~
Well then, more filler-ness here. In this part you see Ursaring's side of his story, how he hated Silver for separting him and his son. And this gets you or well me, thinking, when we catch a pokemon, does it have any family? Kids? Love ones that they will miss? Or sometimes, we're just catching infants and making it battle the next second. In here this is a rpime example, that you never know if you're breaking a family up with your own selfish demands :T
Snowflake says she serves the Dark Prince,Sneasel says the same. What meaning does the term Dark Prince have? Not even I know LOL~
