Kates' P.O.V
I yawned as I sat up in my bed, I don't even remember falling asleep last night, I heard grunting coming from my right side. Turning over I saw Keith was already up and exercising, I cocked a brow at him.
"You're not fully recovered," I stated, "Are you sure that's such a good idea?" I asked, Keith didn't look at me; he just carried on with what he was doing. I shook my head as I looked at the time, six in the morning? Aw man, now I really wanna go back to sleep.
"NO TIME FOR SLEEP! YOU NEED TO COME WITH ME!" Mew yelled, Keith and I both looked at her in confusion.
"What's up?" I asked, she glared at me.
"NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! COME WITH ME!" she yelled again as she began dragging me out the room, Keith looked at Buizel and Glaceon before the three of them followed.
"Morning Kate, Keith," Rythmi smiled, woah is she always up this early? Erm never mind, I have bigger things to worry about. I sighed as Mew dragged me out of Base, I tripped over a rock outside the Base, my hands collided with the earth as I did so. My eyes shot wide open, I don't know how, but the forests, they were dying, all over the world they were just dying.
"What is this?" I asked, Keith, Glaceon, Buizel and I assumed Rythmi were stood behind me now, I looked towards Vien Forest, that was my first stop.
"Let' go!" I called to Mew, who was looking around, the pokemon nodded before flying after me, the others ran after me. By the time we reached the forest Keith was by my right, with Rythmi at my left, Glaceon was in front of me, while Buizel was on Keiths' shoulder. Celebi appeared in front of us as she tried her hardest to heal a dying tree, when she saw me she rushed over to me.
"KATE!" she yelled, I looked around, the trees were slowly dying.
"What's going on?" I asked as I looked at all the dying plants, Celebi frowned.
"I don't know, I can't heal any plants, it's terrible," Celebi said as she rushed over to a small flower, when she touched it, the flower wilted away more. I frowned, something wasn't right, something was terribly wrong.
"What's going on?" Keith asked, I shrugged before turning to Rythmi and Keith.
"The plants and trees are dying all over the world, you need to report this to Base, now Rythmi, Keith follow me, maybe we can find out what's going on," I answered, Ryth nodded as she took off back to Base, Keith followed me with our Partner Pokemon in tow.
"What do you think's going on?" Keith asked, I sighed as I rested my hand on a dying tree.
"I honestly have no idea," I stated, the scene around us began to change as I felt my head spinning like crazy.
"KATE!" Keith yelled as he, Glaceon and Buizel rushed over, Mew and Celebi stood next to me, they probably knew what was going on.
When the scene stopped spinning, it was replaced by a dark sky and stars, I knew where we were.
"Kate," Keith and I both turned to see Arceus; Keith looked at him with his mouth agape before falling to his knees.
"Huh, you have the same reaction Kate did," Celebi stated as she sat on his shoulder.
"What's going on Arceus?" I asked, Arceus frowned, or a think he did, does this guy even have a mouth?
"Humans have injected something into the earth to make the plants die out quickly, once the plants die, nothing will be able to grow in the space they once were. You need to do something," he answered, I looked at him as Keith slowly stood to his feet before walking towards me.
"The only thing I can do is the healing chant," I stated, "And send my energy around the world at the same time, but I'm not sure it'll work," I explained, Arceus looked at me.
"You're Summerlands' Gift, you can make anything happen," Arceus answered me; Keith placed a hand on my shoulder.
"I don't think it's such a good idea, it could be Phantom and Max that did this," Keith explained, did he just call his dad by his name? AH STOP GETTING SIDE TRACKED!
"I don't care, the world's in danger if the plants die out, I have to do something," I stated, Keith nodded his head as he looked back at Arceus, who, I think, was smiling at him.
"Arceus send us back," I ordered, Arceus nodded as the world began spinning again, Keith grabbed a hold of me before I fell to the ground, I'll never get used to that.
When I opened my eyes we were back in the forest, the entire Ranger Base was stood waiting for us, Rythmi smiled at us.
"I told them, where'd you guys come from?" she asked, Keith looked at her.
"Long story," was all he said, the girl nodded as she looked around, the plants were getting worse.
"We have to do this now," I whispered, Celebi nodded as she flew around in a circle around me. I saw Hasting, Crawford and Jackie narrow their eyes; they knew what I was doing, while the rest of the Ranger Base looked at me in confusion, except Keith, who was looking around frantically.
"The tree, the plants, the spirits, the sky, all connected as one, the spirits travel this world, looking for homes in the plants and trees, the sky provides the sun, allowing these trees and plants to grow. Without one the cycle is broken, when this cycle is broken, the world is in grave danger. From the power within, from myself and Celebi, I call upon it, grant us our wish, our will, allow this cycle never to be broken. The trees, the plans, the power from us, the energy regains throughout the world," I started, by now I was glowing white, I was Celebi who was still circling around me, "The trees, the plants, the power from us, the energy regains throughout the world," I chanted again, Celebi began joining in with me, but I felt something different, something that shouldn't be in the chant…..darkness.
This chant was a chant for life, for light, but I felt darkness, death, hidden deep in the chant. I closed my eyes as I forced it down, what was going on?
"The trees, the plants, the power from us, the energy regains throughout the world," Celebi and I chanted again.
"She doesn't have enough energy," I heard Hastings say.
"She's fighting something down within her," Jackie said.
"The trees, the plants, the power from us, the energy regains throughout the world," I heard Crawford chant, I smiled as I felt his energy flowing into me, the darkness and death I felt melted away as he did so.
"The trees, the plants, the power from us, the energy regains throughout the world," we chanted again.
"It's working," I wasn't sure how much longer I had to do this for, but I felt the presence of two people, they were hiding from sight. I had my eyes closed, so I didn't know where they were hiding.
"The trees, the plants, the power from us, the energy has been regained," I finished as the glow from both Celebi and I left us to go around the world. I groaned as I fell to the ground, I think being caught by Keith was becoming a habit and instinct to us both, since he caught me again.
I sighed as I looked at him, he smiled down at me.
"Well, that took a lot more outta me than expected," I stated, Keith chuckled a little as he picked me up; I was too tired to argue with him.
"Kate, Hastings, Jackie and I have to go to the Ranger Union," Barlow spoke up; I pouted as I looked at Hastings and Jackie, who both smiled at me.
"Sorry Katie," Jackie said as Keith set me on the ground.
"Whatever, just gimme a hug," I ordered, Jackie did as told, I then gave Hastings a hug.
"It was nice to see you both, I hope we'll see you again soon," I smiled, both the adults nodded to me, Hastings smiled at me as he did so, somehow I had a feeling we would be seeing them a lot sooner than expected.
"Bye, bye Jackie, Grandpapa, Barlow, have a safe trip," I called as we watched them walked off through the forest. I groaned again as I grabbed my head, Keith caught me again before I fell to the ground, yeah this was becoming instinct.
Keith looked at me as he began walking back to Base with me in his arms. I looked around; I swear we were being watched by someone, I just couldn't see where they were.
"Hey Kate," Mew spoke up as she flew in front of me, I looked at her.
"What's up?" I asked, she looked up.
"A very, very cloudy sky, but anyway, I need to get going, Mewtwo's gonna be looking for me, so I'll see you again soon, I hope," I nodded my head as we all bid farewell to Mew, "It was nice meeting you all," Mew said before she disappeared, Celebi had already gone to check the forests.
"Well, any other pokemon that'll be appearing any time soon?" Rythmi asked, I looked at her before thinking.
"Don't you normally get a random visit from Jirachi around this time of year?" Crawford asked, I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at him.
"I don't know, sometimes, other times he appears out of nowhere," I stated, "Does anyone else have the feeling we're being watched?" I asked as I looked around, Keiths' eyes narrowed as he looked at a nearby bush.
"I do, but, where are they?" Ryth asked as she looked around, Keith frowned before we walked into Vientown.
"Well, that was creepy," Luana stated as we reached the Ranger Base, mine and Keiths' stomach began growling.
"I'm hungry, what time is it?" I asked, looking at the clock I saw it was 7:30, great; we shouldn't even be working for another hour and half.
"Two English breakfasts coming up," Crawford smiled; I cocked a brow as I looked at him.
"What's the occasion?" I asked, Luana, Elaine and Rythmi shook their heads.
"Barlow made him the leader while he's gone," they said in unison, I looked at Crawford.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I yelled while, Keith just looked at him in shock.
"Out of all of us here, he picked him?" he asked, Crawford just smiled, I shook my head.
"Hey, I'm not complaining, I want my English breaky, now make it," I ordered, Crawford glared at me, "You know you love me," I stated, he sighed before walking to the kitchen, "When are you gonna put me down?" I asked as I looked at Keith, he was still carrying me bridal style, he looked down at me.
"Right now," he stated as he dropped me, I screamed before he caught me again, I glared at him before hitting him.
"YOU JACKASS!" I yelled as I hit his shoulder, Keith just laughed before setting me onto the sofa.
"Shouldn't you two get dressed?" Rythmi asked, I looked at her, then my clothes.
I was in my black silk pyjama top with short black silk shorts. As for Keith, he wore normal shorts with no top.
"Good idea," I answered as I ran to the rooms, Keith walked after me, Glaceon and Buizel stayed where they were.
"Wait, I carried you all the way back when you could run?" Keith asked, I looked at him before holding a hand to my mouth.
"Ugh, no," I answered as I ran to the bathroom, before I started puking my guts up.
"You ok?" Keith asked as he held my hair back.
"Healing spell, mixed with fast movement, does nothing good to my stomach," I answered as I held my head. Keith walked over to the medicine cabinet before taking out some aspirin.
"Here," he said as he handed me them, I took two before filling a glass with water; yes the water we get in the bathroom is clean, unlike some places.
I gulped down the water, along with the tablets before I set it back down. I walked back out to the bedroom before grabbing my clothes.
"I just realised something," I stated, Keith cocked a brow at me.
"You mean that you had no bra on while you were doing the spell?" he asked, I cocked a brow.
"How'd you know?" I asked, he smirked.
"It's hard to miss," he stated as he pointed to my shirt, I looked down before blushing like crazy, my nipples had been poking through the shirt. How was he the only one who noticed this? "I was the only one who carried you," he answered my unasked question.
"Oh yeah, well you better not tell anyone," I stated as I grabbed my clothes, bra and pants before walking into the bathroom.
When I came back out, I was in my Ranger shorts and a black shirt with my Ranger shoes; I still didn't have a jacket.
"Oh yeah, Barlow said he put the order in for a new jacket for you, but it won't be here until next week or something," Keith stated, I nodded before walking over to him.
"How is it, every time I come out, you're already dressed?" I asked, Keith smiled at me.
"Magic," was all he said before dragging me out the room, "Our breakfast should be done by now," he stated, I smiled.
"FOOD!" I yelled as I began dragging Keith, who gave a scared look, when we entered I ran to the table where our food was before eating it.
Keith rolled his eyes as he joined me at the table. Crawford smiled as he looked at the two of us.
"Like it?" he asked, I smiled at him.
"Best breakfast since I came here," I answered, Keith nodded in agreement before drinking his juice, Crawford smiled at our compliment.
"Well, I'm glad you liked it, Kate your new jacket'll be here on Monday," Crawford stated, I nodded, before returning my plate to the kitchen, when I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I eat fast, nom, nom, nom. Woah, I really need to get out of the Base.
"Check this out, seems Kellyn and Seren are making a name of themselves," Rythmi stated as she handed us the paper.
"New Ranger couple saves Summerland from rampaging Gyarados," I read aloud as Keith read over my shoulder, "Rumour has it Summerlands' Gift has left the Fiore Region to travel around as it does this time of year. Because of this the Rangers have had their hands full with rampaging pokemon, however these two new Rangers, Kellyn and Seren, have been a big help, we give a big hand for the new couple," I read again, Rythmi smiled as she held a phone up on speaker, Keith and I instantly knew who it was.
"It's so great you two are together," I cooed.
"WE ARE NOT TOGETHER!" Kellyn and Serens' voice yelled, I laughed at the two of them.
"Yeah, whatever, you sleep in the same bed, then do missions and patrols together," Keith stated.
"What's that make you and Kate then?" Seren asked.
"We saw the picture," Kellyn added, his voice sounded smug, I glared at the phone.
"NOTHING!" we both yelled before my styler went off.
"Voicemail, voicemail, this is Barlow here, Kate, you and Keith need to some to Pueltown this instant it's an emergency, and hurry up, Hastings is getting impatient," Barlow ordered before ending the call, I looked at Keith who shrugged.
"Well, we'd love to stay and chat, but we gotta go bye," I stated, Crawford smiled at the two of us as we walked to the entrance of the Base.
"I do not believe Rythmi, I could kill her," Keith said as we walked, I sighed.
"Well, it'll have to wait until we get back.
"HEY GUYS!" we turned at the sound of Rythmis' voice, "Crawford sent me to help the two of you," she stated, Keith smirked.
"Or I could do it now," he said as he gave me a mischievous look, I glared at him.
"Now Keith, there's too many witnesses around," I stated, he sighed.
"You're right, let's just go, I'm still gonna kill you though," Keith glared at Rythmi as he said that, the girl just smiled.
"Aw, I love you too Keith," she answered as she began skipping ahead of us, Buizel and Glaceon sweat dropped, while Keith and I just shook our heads. We looked at each other before running to catch Rythmi up as we made our way to Pueltown.
