Banishment

Quake was confused about his purpose. Everyone had something to do and his life was a mess. He reflected back on his family. Or what was left of it. He remembered his mother, her brilliant eyes and the large scar on her stomach. He remembered the young trainer who helped him get over his fear of humans and the trio who chased after him. He smiled. Their pitiful attempts at capturing him were amusing at best. But the one being who stood out the most in his memory was his little shiny sister, Terra. He remembered her smile when he tickled her, her laugh that sounded like the tinkling of a bell. He remembered how he promised to always protect her from harm. They were always together, even when he'd gotten sick. She'd cared for him like his mother. The lessons he gave her in perfecting her Screech attack. And he remembered the day he'd let her slip away. It wasn't his fault really. They'd been out foraging for Oran Berries when they were attacked by a pack of Houndoom. He tried to protect her as best she could but they overpowered him and dragged her away. That day changed him so much. It was the reason for his emotional repression. The reason he'd been banished from his family. The reason why that as a Larvitar he was forced to survive on his own as the rest of his family left him behind without looking back. Quake dug out of his thinking burrow underneath the cavern. He had to get away from his place. Ever since he'd lost her he'd been looking for her. The Houndom couldn't have eaten her. She had the hardest armor of the family. But he had to find her. He had to find her for redemption but for most of all to apologize and to hear her laugh again. He never admitted that she may have died and his companions knew better than to say anything about it. That was something he'd never admit and the grief had turned his ices an icy-blue. Quake walked over to Krestner on quiet feet. He wasn't known as the "Quiet Terror" for nothing. He rolled the sleeping boy of his hammock and fashioned it into a cloak. He picked up a Cherish Ball and placed into the makeshift pocket. He walked out into the moonlit night and crept slowly into the darkness of the surrounding forest. His eyes were the only thing that could be seen. He hated himself for losing his sister and hated himself for not telling anyone where he was going. Krestner would wake up and probably think he was on a recruitment mission just like Draco, Ghost and Auron were doing. What he didn't know was that they all had their own personal agenda. Ghost was going to visit his old caretaker and mentor. Auron was rediscovering his family. Draco was helping his sick father and now he was looking for his sister. He left the forest and continued down the road towards the intersection to Kanto and Johto. He took the Johto route and walked out of Victory Road. He was going to find her even if it took him forever. He wasn't tired. He was glad for the immense endurance training he had received. The shadows of the world around him seemed to engulf the Rock/Dark type as he ventured deeper into the forest. Occasionally a Noctowl would hoot and Quake would be brought back to reality from his tiring thoughts. The sun breached the horizon as he continued to creep about the forest. Trainers started to walk about the forest and saw him. They tensed expecting a battle to come. Quake kept walking wrapped up in his own thoughts. Many pokémon stirred from their night sleep. A Houndoom walked by him with a tan Tyrantitar in tow...

"Huh" ,Quake looked at the weird scene again. It was indeed a Tyranitar following a Houndoom as if it had no choice. Could it really be that easy after 10 1/2 years? ,Quake thought to himself. He crept closer to the shiny Armor Pokémon and its "captor". He got close enough and then he growled (Terra?) The Houndoom jumped at him, small fireballs escaping its mouth. The Tyranitar looked up at Quake and stared. It growled back (The pokémon you are looking for has been dead for a long time...Quake.) The Houndoom stared at him menacingly, before shooting a massive Flamethrower at Quake that was blocked by the other Tyranitar. Quake stood confused. (How do you know my name? And what happened to my sister?) he growled back. The Houndoom did not like being denied a pokémon squirm in front of its flame. It roared loudly and the rest of the pack came running out of the surrounded Quake and began to shoot fire at him. The other Armor Pokémon tried to jump in front of the attacks but was tackled by by several of the pack. Quake roared loud enough that they probably heard him in Mossdeep City (NO!!!!!). He thundered forward, suddenly unaware of the fire that was engulfing him. He picked up several Houndoom and threw them into the trees, while He aimed a multitude of Focus Punches at the other pack members. They were blown back by Quake's power and he picked up the ither Tyranitar. They turned towards the pack and stomped hard on the ground causing a massive Earthquake. The Dark Pokémon fell to the ground with swirly eyes. The two Tyranitar took a good look at each other, checking for bruises or any kinds of injuries. None were seen. Quake walked over to the nearest Houndoom, grabbed him by his neck and picked him up. He gruffly growled in his face (WHERE IS MY SISTER?!) The Houndoom looked him in the eye as if remembering a far-off memory. It barked at Quake (You just saved her life.). Quake threw him into a tree and turned to the other Tyranitar. It seemed different now. It seemed more relaxed and finally looked at Quake. Then it laughed. It sounded like the soft tinkling of a bell. Quake was stunned. He'd finally found his sister, but now they had to return home so he could be redeemed. He ran over and hugged his sister. Quake laughed to himself. Who'd have thought that I would find my sister on the anniversary of the day she was captured and he was banished. ,he thought to himself. They began to walk through the dense forest, catching up in each other's lives. After Terra had been kidnapped (or pokénapped wihch ever you wanna call it.) she'd tried to get away and after theconstant abuse she had evolved into a Pupitar and later into what she was today. The Houndoom used her to get rid off any opposing tribes and had nearly driven her insane. But he had showed up right before her mind had snapped. Quake told her about his exile as a Larvitar for losing her and how Krestner had captured him to give him a home, but later trained him to be the powerhouse that he was today. He also told her about all the friends he had made over his life and even how he had become the strngth behind Krestner's Nexus identity. He spoke about how he now had to return home to redeem himself. It would take about a week to reach to reach their childhood home, but for now they had to rest. They had talked well into the night. Quake dug a hole in the ground and threw a couple of trees into the pit. He picked up one and used Fire Fang on it, setting it ablaze. He threw it back into the pile of wood and the flame grew huge. Both Armor Pokémon laid down on the ground. The Cherish Ball fell out of Quake's makeshift pocket and rolled across the ground. A Togekiss flew high overhead and swooped down over Terra and her older brother. It sensed the peace and serenity they radiated. It flew over to the Cherish Ball and flew inside. The wind blew hard but peacefully pushing the capture device back into the pocket of the now-tattered hammock-turned-travelers cloak. The notes of Krestner's ocarina carried pecefully into the campsite making the peacefulness of the world a real thing.
