Beta Four
A yellow, mouse-looking pokemon ran as fast as he could, supposedly, to escape from the six Locust that were chasing him. This pokemon was Pikachu. "Dam! How did I get myself into this?" He thought to himself.
He, however, was not looking where he was going and tripped over a rock. He fell to the floor and the Locust were catching up to him. "Escapee down! Execute!" Pikachu's eyes widened at the sound of the word Execute and tried to crawl away when one of the Locust got to him and pointed the gun at his head. A shot was fired...
...and the locust fell backwards.
The others retreated as they saw their friend shot, expecting that hostile to kill the escapee. The Pikachu assumed this as well, shown by his wild movements to get away.
"Are you okay?" He heard a feminine voice call out to him. He looked up and locked his blue eyes with a pair of deep brown ones. "I asked if you were okay!" The same voice asked in concern.
Pikachu looked over the pokemon that saved him. The pokemon was a bipedal rabbit with tan fluffy fur covering her lower body and ear tips and dark brown fur covering her upper body and face. She was carrying a shotgun and was wearing a belt that carried a pistol. "Wow! She's pretty." He thought to himself, before shaking his head.
"I'm fine." He stated. The pokemon held her hand out and Pikachu was a bit nervous but took it anyway, face blushing a bit.
"Okay. I need to take you back to the Tree of Beginning." Pikachu nodded. The pokemon then pulled the pistol out of it's holster and turned the handle towards him and held it out. "You take this. I hope you know how to shoot."
"Yeah I know how to shoot. I also have war experience! I only just escaped from a Locust encampment!" Pikachu gloated, taking the gun.
"Impressive. I'm Buneary by the way." Buneary commented.
"Pikachu." Buneary nodded and motioned for him to follow her.
"I'm from the Resistance army. I'm the last survivor from Beta Four. We assaulted Lavander town to get to the drill zone to attack the Locust. But my Rig got hijacked and we had to jump over board. I'm the only one who survived the fall." She said sadly. Pikachu nodded understandingly.
"I know how you feel. I was captured when me and my squad from the first company, Electric Platoon. They were all worked to death. I only just learned how to detach the Locust locks. That's how I was able to escape." He explained. "Any family? Friends?"
"I have a boyfriend, well HAD." She replied. Pikachu was a little down after hearing that, but got a bit curious.
"Had?" He asked. Buneary sighed.
"He's a Sneasal. He was captured when the Locust attacked. I don't know if he's still alive." She then looked at Pikachu. "You?"
"Brother. Mom and Dad were already dead. He was evacuated. He may be in the Resistance. His name is Buzz. Buzz Linen." Buneary looked sympathetic.
"Sorry. Never heard of him." Pikachu's ears drooped in sadness.
"Oh. Well I may have seen your boyfriend. What was his name?"
"Frost." Pikachu froze with a look of horror on his face. Buneary turned and saw his face. "You know him?" Buneary asked.
"Yeah. I'm sorry." He said. Buneary froze.
"No." She said miserably. "He can't be."
"Frost Blake?" Buneary nodded. "He was used in the Locust's 'Experiment'..." He said, disgustedly. "...Frost was their first test subject. They injected him with some sort of black fluid...H-he bent down in pain...and his skin got pale...he grew...his skin lost texture..." Buneary shook her head, tears falling.
"They turned him into one of them?" She questioned. Pikachu hesitated before nodding. "No."
Pikachu approached her, cautiously. "Buneary?" Then he heard something that made his blood run cold.
"Hostiles!" Pikachu, without thinking, grabbed Buneary's paw and ran in the direction they were heading in before.
"Buneary! Run Locust!" He yelled to her, but she was still brain-dead. He then heard the sound of revolving propellers and looked up to see a helicopter. Thanking Arceus, he scooped Buneary up and carried her onboard as they took off.
In Control
"Celebrea!" Guard called to her quietly. Celebi looked a bit confused.
"It's Celebi, but what's up?" She replied. Guard put on her best serious face, while hiding the pistol she had in a holster under her 'dress' like thing.
"I looked into the same thing you were and found the rat. I found the messages in their recycle bin." She said urgently. "I need to talk to you in a more secure area." Celebi nodded and they then went towards the place Celebi was staying.
"Soon. She will be out of the equation." Guard thought to herself.
With Mew
Fox Trot were in Seviper Three-One. Apparently, they hit a dead end with the cave they had found and were heading to control to find another cave they could try.
"I can't believe we wasted our time here!" Buzz kept saying, in a very annoyed tone. Ratchet just shook his head.
"Well. At least we get to rest at home for a bit. Mew? What are you doing?" Mew turned to look at them. He was holding one of his paws to his left ear.
"I'm trying to contact Celebi, but I can't seem to reach her. I hope she's okay." Ratchet and Buzz looked at each other before smirking. "What?"
"Mew and Celebi, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" They both started to sing. Mew then went really red.
"OKAY! SO I LOVE HER! BIG DEAL!" He yelled out, always being annoyed by that song. The other two were stunned.
"Well. We didn't really think you loved her. Especially since I knew how she used to treat you." Ratchet explained. "Why her?" Mew looked kind of embarrassed.
"I guess it's because she's tough. I mean we saw earlier that a gun was pointed at her head and she just shrugged it off like it was nothing. Plus she's beautiful and fun to boot." Buzz smiled. (He had his helmet off)
"It's good to have some one during this time." He then said. Ratchet looked out and saw the Tree.
"Here we are! Home sweet home!"
With Beta Four
Beta Four had just touched down at the Tree of Beginning. Pikachu looked over to Buneary who had her head in her paws, crying rivers for her lost boyfriend.
Pikachu felt sympathetic but didn't really know how she felt. He has never really had a girlfriend before. Not that he had a Boyfriend. But he just doesn't really know how to comfort her.
"Um...We're here Buneary. C'mon." He said, grabbing her paw and pulling her toward the exit of the Helicopter. She just let herself be dragged out of the Helicopter, still crying.
He then took her to a bench that he saw and sat her down, hugging her awkwardly. "Cry it out." He said soothingly. This is how he would comfort his brother, so he felt that it might work for her.
Buneary was shocked at first, but after hearing what Pikachu said, she then hugged back and cried into his shoulder. Pikachu patted her back gently, hoping to calm her down. It seemed to work as her cries and sobs had started to subside. She then pulled away.
"You okay?" Pikachu mentally slapped himself. Of course she's not okay! She's still sobbing a bit.
"A bit." She answered after a couple of minutes.
"You want to talk about him? Talking will make you feel better." Buneary looked at him, seeing a caring pokemon and not some idiot who will make fun of her later, she decided to talk.
"Okay." She started. "Well, me and Frost grew up together. He was my best friend for fourteen years. Then about two weeks ago he asked me out." Pikachu nodded before motioning her to continue. "At first, it was awkward since he was my best friend and it was hard to see him as anything else. But then I started to get into it. I guess the relationship never really got that far."
"So, if you don't mind me asking, are you crying because you lost a lover or a best friend?" Buneary froze at the question. She was so occupied with crying her eyes out she never really thought about it. But now that she did, it was obvious as much as she felt guilty about it.
"A best friend. No matter how many times we went out, I just couldn't think of him as anything else. I didn't even kiss him." Pikachu nodded. He then noticed her frown and just seemed to know that facial expression.
"You don't have to feel guilty about it. He'll still be missed. I miss him as well. I only knew him for a short amount of time. But I knew he was a good guy. Your lucky that you got to know him that well." Buneary looked at him and really did this time. She saw a lot of small cuts. They wouldn't scar though.
"He's so...Handsome." Buneary blushed. Pikachu looked at her seriously.
"If you want, we can find an area and create a remembrance of him." Buneary looked at him again, this time questionably.
"Why are you helping me out so much?" Pikachu scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"You don't really know much about me so I'm not surprised by the question. I just take care of my friends. It's what gives my life meaning really. And you saved my life earlier. So I'd consider us friends." He said. Buneary put a paw on his shoulder.
"Well, you'd be right. So C'mon. We have to find your brother. You mentioned you had one earlier. Buzz Linen right?" Pikachu smiled brightly.
"Right! Thanks Buneary." He replied. "Also we can get to know each other better."
With Celebi
"Alright. I don't think anyone will be in here." Celebi said, unlocking the door to the room she was occupying. They went in and Guard closed the door behind her. Guard then pulled the gun out of the holster and turned around...
...to see that Celebi had already beaten her too it.
"I knew you were the Rat." Guard cursed but then she asked.
"How? I didn't see you type anything into the computer after contacting Mew."
"I worked it out after you said that you found the Rat by looking in the recycle bins. How did you know I was going to look in the recycle bins if I didn't tell you I was. Also the gun you were trying to hide was a dead give away." Guard still had a question though.
"Where were you you hiding that gun though?" Celebi blushed.
"Um...You don't really want to know. I feel a bit disgusted holding it." Celebi explained. Guard then looked at her apprehensive look and laughed.
"You wouldn't pull the trigger! You can't handle the guilt of killing another pokemon. Even if they're traitors." Guard then kicked Celebi's gun out of her hand.
Celebi backed into a corner. "Say good nig..." Just as she said this, Guard's arm was shot. Causing Guard to drop the gun. Celebi looked past Guard to see Mew, holding his own pistol.
"Stand down Guard!" Guard looked over just in time to see Ratchet and Buzz grab her by both her arms roughly. "Take the Traitor to the prison cells. Make sure she can't get out and get everything you can out of her." Guard kicked and shouted as the two soldiers dragged her out of the room. Mew never looking at her.
"Are you okay Cele...mmph!" Mew never got to finish his sentence since Celebi pressed her lips to his. Mew was surprised at first but then settled down and dropped his gun to the floor before wrapping his arms around her waist. Returning the kiss.
Celebi then pulled away. "You know. That's the second time you saved me." Mew smiled.
"Well you found our rat. I can't believe Guard did this though. She was my best friend. My first friend." Celebi looked sympathetic.
"I'm sorry Mew. Oh and in case it wasn't clear from the kiss. I love you." Mew wrapped his tail round her before replying.
"I love you too Celebi." Celebi smiled before she brought her lips to his again.
At Lavander Town
"Alright! We're ready to dig Omega Three!" Uxie nodded.
"Alright guys let's get in the pods! Two by two! Who's going with who?" He saw that Jirachi was with Manaphy and Darkrai was with Cresselia.
"Oh great! I'm with the yellow headed, nerd!" Azelf sighed in frustration. Uxie glared at her.
"I'm not ecstatic about this either but this is a war! We will have to do things we don't want to do! And we'll be in the pod for about a minute! It won't kill you!"
"But..." Now Uxie just had it.
"ENOUGH!" This scared everybody on the Rig, even Darkrai. "Listen Azelf! You will have to get in the Pod with me whether you like it or not! I just don't care! If it were up to me I'd just leave you up here to fight the Locust on your own! Do I make myself clear! I'm the commander here and what I say GOES!" He ranted at her harshly. So harshly that Azelf had tears brimming in her eye's.
"Now come on! The Locust are on their way and we need to make our way underground!" Uxie announced, climbing the ladder to the Pods. Azelf let a couple of tears fall before wiping them away and following him into the Pod.
Jirachi whistled loudly. "Wow! I have NEVER seen Uxie that angry before." Manaphy just shook his head.
"Well she was asking for it. She must have known that Uxie was going to blow one of these days. I knew it might have been today. I mean he has to lead us, which is pressure enough, never mind having to put up with her crap as well as the Locust's." Manaphy replied. "But still. What he said was harsh."
"I'm sure he didn't mean it." Darkrai interjected, climbing the ladder after Cresselia. "He's very protective over Mespirit and Azelf. He wouldn't happily leave either of them to fend for themselves."
"I hope not anyway." Jirachi said, following Darkrai up the ladder.
Soon all six of them were in the pods, Azelf trying her best not to cry in front of Uxie. Uxie himself was still glaring at her. The safety bars then lowered over their chests. Then the doors closed. And the drill on the bottom of the Pod started up and then the Rig pushed them down, and the Pod started burrowing.
