Hello dear reader. This next chapter may confuse you. It would've confused me if I hadn't been part of it, but I was so I understand it entirely. But I know how confusing it may be, so let this just be a warning for you. I had to contact Roiyaru, Chalkie and K- I mean, that Grovyle for information concerning this chapter, so the time placement may be a bit... fishy. But, by all means, don't let this put you off! My story is just about to get a bit more climatic.
Kiara's PoV
I opened one eye, then, shocked, I opened the other. I was in my cell. In the Team Rocket HQ. I couldn't believe it. It had been... a dream. I hadn't escaped, but if I hadn't escaped then that meant that Roiyaru, Chalkie, that trio of Pokémon and that freaky Grovyle had all been figments of my imagination!
Chalkies PoV
I opened one eye, then, shocked, I opened the other. I was in my forest den. On the worst day of my life. I looked to my side and saw my mate, Sunny the Espeon still sleeping. So I hadn't really met The Chenja, re-met Roiyaru and I wasn't visited by... That doesn't matter. All that matters is that I'm here. Sunny is with me. All is as it should be.
Roiyarus PoV
I spent a few moments just staring at Kiara and Chalkie's bodies, they were still breathing and their hearts were still beating, but they were both fast asleep. I tried to rouse them by shaking them, then yelling in their ears, I even tried to use a fire type move to awaken them, but it didn't work. They were fast asleep. And maybe they wouldn't wake up again.
Grovyle's PoV
I stared at Roiyaru, who was staring at a Vaporeon and That Calm Umbreon. She couldn't believe her eyes. And neither could I. That Vaporeon had just moments before been a Leafeon. The loud-mouther shouty Leafeon from earlier. And I knew who she was now. She was the reason I was like I was. She was The Chenja.
Kiara's PoV
I stared at my hands, I was so happy. I had thumbs again! Then I remembered where I was. I looked around, bared window and steel door, check, concrete wall, check and tunnel in the floor where I found out that they had metal fencing placed underneath, check. Everything I didn't want to be there was there. But at least I had Thumbs.
Chalkie's PoV
Sunny roused, her eyes opened and she smiled at me. She stood up and left the den, her tail flicking as a sign to follow her. The events playing out just like in my memory. I may not know much, I don't even know what is reality, but I do know one thing. I mustn't let her die.
Roiyaru's PoV
I can't believe it. I had been told by one of the highest fire-type authorities to protect her. And I had failed. I looked around, my eyes scanning the undergrowth for the one that had used the move, except there were still large clouds in the sky, and it was hard to see anything in the dark of the forest. If only I could wake them up. But how?
Grovyle's PoV
I looked at the sleeping bodies and that's when it hit me. I had to wake them up. I raked my mind for something that could cure sleep, then I remembered, a small smile formed on my mouth, I knew what I had to do now. All I had to do was find a Chesto Berry.
Kiara's PoV
I'd only just finished looking around when the door slid open and I saw Sundance. He had a freaky smile on his face, I mean, freakier than usual.
"Hello there Kiara! Time for me to show you the... facilities that we have here. There is one facility that you have not seen yet. The lab." He told me.
And right at that moment I knew what would happen. And dread filled my stomach like drinking a bottle of magnesium.
Chalkie's PoV
"Sunny! Wait up!" I called and sprinted after her. The events were still playing out exactly the same. I just had to change one thing and the future would be different.
"You'll have to catch me first!" Sunny giggled back, and ran faster.
"Sunny, this is serious! STOP!" I yelled, and she slid to a halt. Just in front of a large, angry Ursaring.
Roiyaru's PoV
The Grovyle turned to me, a smile on her face.
"I know what we need to find! We need to find a Chesto berry!" She told me hurriedly. I was surprised, and I suddenly had a flashback to the last time I'd held a Chesto berry.
"Those are the ones that look sort of like Santa Clause hats that are blueish purple on the top, right?" I asked, although I knew that they were.
"Right, c'mon, it won't be hard finding one in this berry grove!" The Grovyle said happily.
"It will." I said quietly.
"What do you mean?" She asked, immediatly she seemed less enthusiastic.
"I destroyed all of the Chesto berry trees. There are no Chesto berries in Viridian Forest." I stated, my head dipped with sadness.
Grovyle's PoV
I couldn't believe my ears. I'd found the cure, but it wasn't there. No cure, no waking up.
"Why the hell did you destroy a whole species of berry! What on earth possessed you to do something like that!" I demanded.
"B-bad memories." Roiyaru stuttered back.
"So there are zero Chesto berries! Brilliant!" I exclaimed.
"There may be one or two. The Wise Pokémon probably has a couple." She told me.
"And there are Awakenings in the town. Perfect. You go to this 'Wise Pokémon's place and I'll get some Awakenings in town. Got it?" I asked.
"It's too dangerous to go into the town!" Roiyaru exclaimed.
"I can take care of myself, just go!" I told her, and turned and sprinted off in the direction of town, before I could hear her tell me not to go.
Kiara's PoV
It's now or never. I though as I was half carried half dragged down the corridor by Sunny dancer. When we got to the lab I saw a window.
Now is my chance. I thought, I bit down, hard on Sundance's arm and he howled in pain, I smirked and turned into an Umbreon, I used one of the powers I know that Umbreon possess, I turned into a shadow, and leapt out of the window.
I'm free! I thought, and then the whole world froze.
Chalkie's PoV
The Ursaring let out a terrifying roar and Sunny was paralyzed with fear. The only movement in her body were ragged breaths and her shivering body.
"Oi! If you lay a paw on her you'll have hell to deal with!" I yelled, but it didn't out the large bear Pokémon off.
I panicked and wondered what to do when I felt some kind of energy growing in my stomach, the energy travelled up my throat and into my mouth. I had to open my mouth to let it out and all I saw was a large ray of pure white energy flying towards the Ursaring, it hit the Bear Pokémon right in the middle of the circle on its stomach. Sunny was safe and I had succeeded, then the whole world froze.
Roiyaru's PoV
I sprinted into the thicker and more dangerous part of the forest, desperately trying to reach the Clan of Pokémon before it was too late. In the Clan there was an old, wise Pokémon who is said to be able to tell the future, but no one believes that, not anymore. Apart from me. Just as I reached the thorn tunnel that was the entrance I heard a voice enter my head:
'They have completed the Crossroads. Now they must deal with the consequences.'
Grovyle's PoV
I checked to make sure that I wasn't being followed before closing my eyes and concentrating. When my eyes opened I was taller, and I had no annoying leaves on my body. I had no scales and wasn't coldblooded, and I defiantly looked nothing like I did before.
I had skin, and maybe a few short hairs around my body. I was warm-blooded and was wearing clothes.
My name is Kusa Shinga. And I am one of the world's first Pokeshifters.
A/N: So, how do you like how I've ended it! Hehe. From now on I will update every Monday. Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.
Told you at the top that it should've been called 'Lots of PoV changes' hehe. So, Burning moon, how did you like Kusa? I know that I didn't get her across exactly as you said, but she'll be a tad more hostile to Chalkie and Kiara, her and Roiyaru had a nice long chat before running in to save the day, so that's why she kind of trusts her.
Now, no one on Wattpad commented on that chapter, or at all, which I'm kind of upset about, but never mind!
Now, I need help. I need a cover for this fanfic sometime, but I'm terrible at art and drawing. So, if anyone out there is good, could you try to make me one? Please? If you will, could it feature kiara, Roiyaru and Chalkie on the front (Remember that Chalkie has brown eyes instead of red) And have Mew somewhere in the background. I don't care what form Kiara's in, just could you give her a moon shard tied with string around her neck? If you post one later and I already have a cover I'll put it as a side image.
The person who gets the cover will get to have either; Some spoilers, an amount (haven't decided how many) OCs in it, be a co-writer or have romance or plot added. (I also need a Beta-reader, if anyone's interested)
Sorry for the overly-long authors note, please excuse it. Until next time,
Bye!
