Wave: "Pokemon belongs to Nintendo. Maria Star and the 'Oh sweet pineapples' phrase belong to GlassSuicune. This chapter is mostly filler and kinda mushy at the ending.... Glass?"
Glass: "What?"
Wave: "Um, did I mention there's a spider on your head?"
Glass: "Have I told you I hate you?"
Mikhail: hops over to them while still tied to the chair "Um, Glass quoted 'Can You Feel The love Tonight?' from the movie 'The Lion King' in here, by the way. She used the movie's version, not the credits' version. Now...
This is any song Glass quotes."
Chapter 7: There are Skeletons in my Closet?!
"What do you creeps want?" Cail asked rather rudely. "We're investigating suspicious activity involving mysterious Pokemon. We were told you might know something." Mikhail replied. 'Smooth Mikhail. Very smooth...'
"Hmph, you'll have to battle me before I tell you anything! Go, Ralts and and Machop!"
"Tory, I choose you!"
Mysty got involved, "Wave, take 'em out!" Tory slammed Machop with Confusion, while Wave Bit Ralts. Ralts was KO'ed, but Machop remained. Cail recalled Ralts and sent out a Seedot.
Machop Karate Chopped Wave, nearly knocking her into the yellow. ("Meh, BRING IT ON.") the blue fox hissed. Tory then KO'ed Machop with Confusion, saying, ("NO ONE TOUCHES WAVE!")
Cail recalled Machop and sent out a Furret. Mysty noticed something strange about it. "Oh! There's a Pokemon with a black aura!" she cried. 'Another one? Urk... Looks like Cipher's plan is coming together faster then I initially thought. Mikhail thought.
Wave used Ice Beam on Seedot, KO'ing it. Tory used Confusion on Furret, almost knocking him into the yellow. Furret then Shadow Rushed Tory, sending him tumbling into Wave. Tory got back up, knowing very well that was a critical hit.
He was, for the first time he can remember, in the red. And with only one Hit Point left.
Tory felt very weak, but he stood strong, until... "Return Tory!" Mikhail cried, pointing the ball in Tory's direction. The ball opened and he went in. "Croconaw, I choose you!" the Trainer then shouted. 'Shadow Rush won't have much of an effect on another Shadow Pokemon.'
Furret Shadow Rushed Croconaw, but like Mikhail thought, it hardly did anything. Wave then Bit Furret, knocking it into the yellow. Mikhail charged a Snagball and threw it at Furret. 'This is getting old fast.'
Oh no! The Pokemon broke free!
Furret Shadow Rushed Wave, knocking her into the yellow. She Bit Furret again, knocking it into the red. Mikhail threw another Snagball.
One....
Two....
Three....
Shoot! It was so close too!
Mysty recalled Wave and sent out Amber. Furret Shadow Rushed Mikhail. ("You're a monster.") he hissed. Mikhail recovered and threw another Snagball.
One....
Two....
Three....
Gotcha! Furret was caught! Furret was then sent to storage.
"You stole my Pokemon!" Cail cried, then said, "Never mind, you can have it. It wasn't as special or as powerful as those creeps that gave it to me made it out to be."
"Who gave you this Pokemon?" Mysty asked. "I won the Colosseum challenge and then one of those creeps took me to an abandoned building. Apparently they've been giving away these Pokemon to the winners of the challenge," Cail replied, "And that's all I know. Now, GET LOST."
Mikhail and Mysty then walked away. 'I really should tell her, but...' Mikhail thought. "Just afraid of letting out those skeletons in your closet?" Tory asked from inside the ball.
"THERE ARE SKELETONS IN MY CLOSET?! HOW ON EARTH DID THEY GET THERE?!"
I swear, someone in Almia could've heard Mikhail's scream.
SOMEWHERE, IN THE REGION OF ALMIA....
A couple Pokemon Rangers were awakened by a highly unusual scream. "What was that?!" cried Sven. "Was somebody shown a spider or something?" Wendy asked. "I believe that is a cry of mixed emotions, particularly shock, terror, and some others I cannot read." said a green-haired girl. Everyone looked at her like she was an alien. "Maria, will you please stop talking? It scares us." said Keith.
See? I told ya!
BACK IN THE ORRE REGION....
Everyone in Pyrite Town was staring at Mikhail. Mysty's left eye twitched. "Mikhail, what's this about skeletons in your closet?" she asked. Mikhail's eyes grew wide and he immediately made a mad dash from the area. "Come back Mikhail!" Mysty cried, "That man is so paranoid... What is he afraid anyway?"
Mikhail ran outside Pyrite Town. The thought of driving off somewhere crossed his mind, but he wasn't going to leave Mysty behind. He had absolutely no idea what the heck he was going to do. "You're a pathetic weakling, Mikhail. And you know DANG WELL YOU ARE." Tory growled.
"Call me what you want, Tory." Mikhail replied. He sighed and sat down not far from the entrance. As can be expected, Mysty ran out after him. "Mikhail, are you okay?" she asked, sitting down beside him. Mikhail blinked, still wondering if he should tell her.
So many things to tell her,
But how to make her see,
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me...
Mysty eyed Mikhail with curiosity, wondering what was going on in that brain of his. She was aware he was fighting something inside, but what? He was hiding something from her, but why? He could tell her and she would listen...
He's holding back his hiding,
But what I can't decide,
Why won't he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside...
"Mysty, there's something I have to tell you..." Mikhail started. He wouldn't tell her everything, worried about what she might think if she knew everything he did. "What is it, Mikhail? I can listen." Mysty asked.
"I know what's going on here. Because... Because I was part of it... I'm not just some random Snagem Grunt. I'm... I'm a Cipher Admin..."
"Cipher Admin?"
"Yes... Go on and judge me..."
"I won't judge you. I know you're not a bad person, Mikhail. Like I said at Phenac, you're the gallant prince who rescued me. If you were really bad, you wouldn't have done that."
Mikhail's golden eyes met Mysty's sapphire eyes. For awhile there was a pleasant silence between them. It was like the world was nonexistent to them. It was just them, together. They both slowly moved closer to each other, as if they were going to kiss.
Of course, we all know some little Umbreon was going to stop it before it could even happen.
Shadow popped out of his ball, noticed Mikhail and Mysty, and then screamed, ("Oh sweet pineapples! Abort! Abort!") he cried. Translation: Don't kiss! Don't kiss! Mikhail and Mysty snapped back into reality and stared at Shadow. "Shad, why must you always ruin a beautiful moment?" Mikhail asked.
Note: There's Chapter 7! Review please? I know it was short, but like I said before, I've been playing the game to write this story. Guess what? I've just written everything I could write from what point I reached in the game. Now I have to play it some more to get more storyline... Hey, at least what I had seen was enough for a couple chapters, so that's good. Anyways, I'll try to update next week. Hopefully. See you then. Now, if you'll excuse me... ( picks up Gamecube controller) Silver Cube, on! I command you! TURN ON!!!
Silver Cube: ".....And here I thought I was safe....."
