Chapter 19
TheEspeon
Jared started running back to the entrance we had entered in, but Austin yelled to me, "Carry! Go with him! There's an exit to his right!"
"Got it!" I yelled, and ran as fast as my legs could carry me to where Jared was. I snatched him up in my jaws as I passed him and ran to the exit.
"NEEEEVEEEER!" Azelf screeched. She flung her arms out and psychic power erupted from her small body. It hit Uxie, knocking her to the ground. The power hit me next like a hammer, throwing me out of the cave. I managed to get to my feet and run away.

The waves hit like a ton of bricks, smashing me against the wall. They hit again and again, and I heard Heather scream in pain.
"No!" I managed. I peeled myself off the wall and pulled an auric shield up. I slowly walked along the wall (the psychic waves slowed me a bit since they hit so much and had so much force) until I could pull Heather into the blue sphere with me. She gasped for a few moments before getting her breath back.
"Dark! We have to get him!" she insisted.
"That's right," I agreed, and traveled to the umbreon. Heather picked him up.
"Austin! Get them out of here!" Wylie yelled. I whipped my gaze to him. He was still fighting the drowsee, who was not affected by Azelf's psychic attack. I noticed Wylie was suddenly emanating a huge amount of power. I gasped and looked to Uxie, who was paler than usual.
"No," I whispered, knowing what this meant.
"Go! Hurry!" Wylie yelled.
I rushed towards the exit we'd come from. "Go!" I told Heather, and she left the bubble and went into the cave. I looked back once more at my poor friend, knowing it might be the last time I'd ever see him. Wylie gave me one last of his bright smiles, and I tried to give him my usual smirk.
It was tinted with sadness.
TheEspeon
I eventually put Jared down and we proceeded to run like Hell was on our tails. As far as we knew, it was.
When we finally made it out of the cave, I tried to use my badge. "F**k!" I exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Jared asked.
"The badge isn't working," I muttered. Jared got his out and tried, but it wasn't working, either.
"Damnit!" I swore. "We'll be walking home, it seems."
"Carry!" a familiar voice gasped.
I looked up to see the green forest fairy herself. "Celebi!" I gasped.
She landed in front of us. Jared's eyes went wide and he dropped something in awe.
"What's with the marble?" I wondered, but Jared didn't hear me.
"You've got one of Dark's memories there," Celebi explained. "Tell me, child, what's your name?"
"Jared," he said, eyes still wide with awe. He bent and picked up the marble, which was apparently a memory.
"Not to be rude, but why are you here?" I wondered.
"I sensed a huge disturbance in the balance," Celebi explained. "Where are my Chosens?"
"Austin and Dark?" I wondered. "I have no idea."
"Here," Austin called. He sounded... defeated. He came out a moment later from an entrance to our right with his head down. Heather followed, the fainted Dark in her jaws.
"Quickly, Jared," Celebi said, "give Dark the memory."
Jared cautiously walked forward. When he was standing a good two feet away the memory began to glow. Dark began to struggle and Heather gently put him down.
"No wonder he didn't faint at first," I realized. "The memory has to be a certain distance away."
"Very good, Carry," Celebi said. "Though most legends hold the memory instead of dropping it. But that's something else." Then Celebi noticed something. "Where is the buizel?"
Austin flinched. "Uxie... is dead."
"Wylie has inherited her powers, then, is what you're saying," Celebi said. Her brighter tone faded into something a little darker and her head tilted down slightly.
"That's true. I fear Azelf will kill him because of it and end Uxie's existence and power," Austin said. He flinched again. "I should have stayed and helped him."
"Then you may both have gotten killed," Celebi reminded him. "It's better this way."
