Kates' P.O.V
I walked around in the darkness of my own mind. I had no idea what the hell was going on, one minute I'm sleeping, having the weirdest dream about giant Pachirisu, the next…well the next it's all dark.
"Katherine," oh Arceus, who the hell was calling me by my full name? I turned around, nothing. "Katherine," there it was again, I turned, still nothing.
My hands balled into fists, somehow I had a good idea that it was Darkrai messing with my mind, if it was, then I'm gonna kill him.
"Katherine," the voice hissed right next to my ear. On instinct I turned, my brown eyes met blood red eyes that glared at me. I took a step back, no fear filled me.
"I'm not scared of you Darkrai, do your worst," I smirked, the dark type looked at me with shocked eyes, I could only smirk.
A blue light began to fill the area around us, then a red light, but not a blood red light more like a soothing red light. Finally, a yellow light shone through.
Darkrai moved back into what little darkness there was lift.
"No, the Tears of Princes," he hissed, I gave a confused look as the three gems began moving around in the air. They were each creating words with the light that followed them.
"Hai Valley, Haruba Desert and Boyleland Volcano?" I read aloud, the three gems starting moving around, like they were chasing each other before a face formed. He had blazing red hair with bright crystal eyes; a warm smile was plastered on his face.
"Who-,"
"It is not important who I am. What is important that you get the three Tears of Princes before Dim Sun can accomplish it. You will find the Blue Gem at Hia Valley, the Red Gem in Boyleland Volcano on the right side, and the Yellow Gem in the Hippowdon Temple in the Haruba Desert. Now hurry, it is a race against time, for Darkrai is already reporting back to Team Dim Sun. I wish you luck on your mission," and with that, the blazing haired head vanished into thin air.
I shot up in my bed, but was instantly dragged back down by Keith, who muttered something along the lines of 'five more minutes', I just rolled my eyes.
The was almost flung off its hinges as Rythmi, Seren, Kellyn, Sven and Wendy rushed in.
"We have a HUGE problem," Rythmi said, her eyes were full of panic.
"KEITH DRAG YOUR LAZY ASS OUTTA BED! YOUR DAD'S GOING ON A RAMPAGE!" Kellyn shouted, Keith instantly sat up, grabbed his clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
Rythmi ushered me out of the room and into the bathroom in Seren and Kellyn's room. Once I was out we all rushed to Erma, who frowned at all of us.
"As you know Max is on a rampage, we have one Top Ranger stationed there already, but I'm afraid she isn't doing so well," Erma spoke quite fast.
"I thought there were only four Top Rangers in Almia?" Seren asked in confusion, but it was soon turned to horror when we heard the sound of an explosion downstairs.
"KATE!" I knew that yell anywhere. I quickly rushed down the escalator with the others. We stopped once we saw a blue haired girl begin held up by the throat, a dark haired boy was running up to us in the distance.
"SOLANA!" I yelled back as my eyes glew white. "DROP HER!" I yelled at the Venusaur. The pokemon looked into my eyes, something wasn't right; its eyes shouldn't have been black. The pokemon's eyes flashed white before he ran off. Solana fell to the ground gripping her throat, Lunick ran up behind her.
"Sol', are you ok?" Lunick and I asked as we knelt down next to her.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but Raisha isn't doing so well with the forest pokemon," Solana pointed out, Erma's eyes quickly narrowed.
"Seren, head to Raisha and help her out," Erma ordered.
"But I don't-,"
"You can't miss her," Erma interrupted; Seren quickly nodded her head before sprinting off.
"Kellyn, I want to go with Wendy to help calm the flying pokemon. Sven, you go calm the electric type," Erma ordered once again.
"Lunick, Solana, will you two be ok to head from here to Chicole Village and calm any pokemon that could be on a rampage along the way?" Erma asked.
"On it," the two answered as they ran out of the room.
"Now Kate, Keith," I grabbed my head at that point, I felt dizzy. Darkness began to envelop in my vision as I tried to blink it away, it only came back, stronger than before.
'The Gems are mine,' I growled at the voice, Darkrai would not get away with this.
"Kate?!" Erma and Keith asked as they rushed next to me, Hastings came down the stairs with panic on his face.
"I've called in some pokemon trainers that could help us, unfortunately, the only two I could get on short notice were Hilbert and Misty," Hastings stated.
"That doesn't matter, if Darkrai gets what he wants then we're all dead," I replied with a glare. "I'm going to Hia Valley, there's some stuff I need to do," I added as I looked at Keith, who nodded his head, indicating he was going to come with me.
"You're not going anywhere," we turned to the doors, Kai stood there with two other people, a large man dressed in yellow and a woman dressed in pink.
"You go nowhere," I cringed at the yellow man's grammar.
"You're the ones we're fighting to take over Almia? You look pathetic," the pink one snickered as she looked at us.
"Says the pink hag," I growled as I started walking forwards, I felt Keith grab my arm.
"Buizel, let's do this," he then looked at me. "If there's one thing I know it's that you'll be facing off against Ice and my father, don't underestimate any of them, be careful," Keith ordered as he ran at the three of them. Buizel used his water gun to knock the yellow one down, while the pink one dodged it because she didn't want her makeup to get ruined.
"Sacrificing yourself for your girlfriend Keithy? Aww, aint that sweet?" I heard Kai asked as I ran passed him; he pulled a knife of Keith, who gave me a warning glare to get going. I shook my head, before running off, I felt awful.
"KATE WATCH OUT!" I turned to see a large Ursaring ready to pounce on me. Before it could a flamethrower mixed with a water gun fired at it, sending it running away.
I turned around to see a brown haired boy with a red haired girl.
"Hope we haven't missed too much," the red haired girl said, "I'm Misty, this is Hilbert," she introduced, I quickly shook their hands.
"I don't really have time to talk I'm in a hurry, so here's what's going on. The Rangers up there are calming down the sky pokemon; the two over there are calming down the forest pokemon. Solana and Lunick have been sent to Chicole Village and ordered to calm any pokemon down that were on a rampage. Keith's inside the Ranger Union, just over there, fighting again his brother and two other people, he'll need help so can you help him please?" I asked, as I was about to leave Misty grabbed my hand.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"Hia Valley, there's something there that I need to get, if I don't, let's just say we're all doomed," I answered; Misty nodded her head to Hilbert, who seemed to understand her before running off into the Union.
"Let's go, if things are as bad at Hia Valley as they are here, you're gonna need help, plus we can use my Gyarados to get there," Misty smiled as we rushed down to the river. She quickly drew out a pokemon ball before throwing it.
The large dragon like water type sat proudly on the water.
"Gyarados, think you could take us to Hia Valley?" Misty asked, Gyarados nodded its head. We jumped on it before the pokemon started swimming off.
I looked down the river as we rode, I could see angered pokemon heading towards us. I readied my styler.
"No need," Misty stopped me in my tracks, I looked at her confusedly.
"Gyarados," Misty whispered, "HYPER BEAM!" she yelled over the roaring river, the large blue pokemon began absorbing energy and light into its mouth before shooting it at the rampaging pokemon. I felt bad as they were shot out of our way.
"Gyarados' hyper beam doesn't hit them if Gyarados doesn't want it to, by the looks of it, the beam didn't hit, merely scared them," Misty explained to me, I nodded my head as we carried on our way to Hia Valley.
Keiths' P.O.V
I knew there was a reason I hated Heath, well I'd always hated him, but I did forget about his impeccable strength. My hand rested on his as I tried to pull it from my throat.
"EMBOAR USE FLAMETHROWER!" I heard someone yell, the attack hit Heath on the back, making him hiss in pain before dropping me. A brown haired boy stood in front of me.
"Name's Hilbert," he smiled over his shoulder at me, "You must be Keith," he stated as he looked back at the three people in front of us. Kai growled at the boy as he held his knife in his hand, it was stained with both mine and his blood.
"I can't fight a girl, no matter how much of a hag she is," Hilbert spoke as he looked at Lavana.
"You can't but we can," I turned around to see more people stood by Hastings and Erma, two girls with brown hair, they looked like they were related, a boy with green hair and another boy, who had blue hair.
"I'm Hugh," the blue haired boy smiled.
"I'm Hilda, this is N," the brown hair girl, who had her hair in a ponytail smiled as she pointed to the green haired boy, who smiled.
"Call me Rosa, we're friends of Kate's here to help," Rose smiled as they all threw poke balls into the air. An Arcanine, Zekrom, Reshiram and Samurott growled at the three of them.
"Weak pokemon," Lavana hissed as she summoned a Heatran. Heath laughed as he summoned a Magnezone. Kai's eyes landed on mine, we hadn't finished our fight, and I intended on finishing it.
"LET'S GO!" we all yelled together as we started fighting against the three of them.
Kellyns' P.O.V
This was getting too much; Wendy had a number of cuts and bruises on her arms and legs. I wasn't any better, my arms, legs and possible MY BEAUTIFUL FACE! Were scarred for life.
I looked behind Wendy when I saw a large bird pokemon heading towards her, I didn't have time to register what kind it was as I pushed her out of the way, taking the hit for myself.
"KELLYN!" I heard her yell as I felt myself falling towards the ground, the last thing I could remember was a loud bang, but that was me hitting the floor.
I turned my head towards Seren, she had just finished a capture and was looking my way, horror and shock filled her features. She was beautiful in my eyes; a smile came onto my lips as she rushed towards me. At least I got to see her beautiful face one last time.
Serens' P.O.V
"KELLYN!" I turned when I heard Wendy scream. My eyes went wide as I saw Kellyn hit the ground; I felt the vibrations in the earth. I looked up to Wendy; she was capturing the bird pokemon that had hurt him. I turned back to the capture I was doing, once it was done I started rushing towards Kellyn.
"SEREN NO!" I heard Raisha yell, I turned around to see that a large fire type was looming over me, my eyes went wide as I looked at Kellyn, a smile was gracing his lips. I never got to tell him how I felt.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" I looked to see a blond haired boy with emerald eyes.
"Who are you?" I asked in shock.
"Name's Jackie, Kate's cousin, go help the Kellyn," I looked at him in shock, how did he?
"NOW SEREN!" I quickly nodded my head before rushing over to Kellyn. His head was bleeding badly, his arm looked like it was broke, his face arms and legs were all scarred, for what could be life.
"Kellyn, please don't die on me," I muttered as Sven came rushing up to me.
"We've gotta take him some place safe," he stated as we started walking back towards the Union. We walked in, a group of people were laid on the floor breathless, a large man was knocked out, while a pink woman was running for her life. I saw Kai, Keith's brother, with a knife in his hand.
I looked at Keith, he was covered in blood, holding his own knife, the blood was a mixture of both.
Hastings and Erma helped us with Kellyn before a scream pierced the room. I turned on my heals quickly, Rythmi's head snapped up as she looked at the person it had come from, she had recently come down the stairs, she looked like she had news.
"KEITH!" we both yelled, Wendy and Raisha came running into the room, followed by their Partner Pokemon.
"KEITH!" they also yelled, we all watched as Keith looked at the knife in his stomach before plunging his own knife into his brother, making in cry out. The two glared at each other before falling to the ground.
Solanas' P.O.V
Lunick and I ran through the streets of Pueltown, this was utter madness, each pokemon was rampaging. We had managed to settle very few down with the rate everything was going, I was afraid things might turn to war.
"SOLANA WATCH OUT!" I turned around in time to dodge a flying trash can. I was more skilled than other Top Rangers, I did train with Jackie after all, that was until Lunick came into the picture. Now he was my partner, and I would do anything and everything to protect him.
"Thank Lunick!" I called over the sound of broken pipe lines, roaring fires and static from broken TV screens and other electronics.
What the hell were we supposed to do? Katie's our friend and we came here to help, but we didn't sign up for this.
I sucked in a breath, this was our duty as Pokemon Rangers, we will stand by it, at least that's what I was telling myself.
In the time I was thinking I failed to notice I had stepped into some water. I watched in horror as a broken cable was surrounded by it. Electricity sparked in the water before shocking me, hard.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" I yelled, before I collapsed to the ground, twitching slightly because of the electricity coursing through my veins.
"SOLANA!" Lunick yelled, I could feel warm arms wrap around me. He's an idiot if he didn't take the cable out of the water.
I looked up at him, his face was so blurry, but that didn't matter, I could still make him out. We'd been friends for years, I knew him like the back of my hand. I reached my hand up to touch his face.
"D-don't let Dim Sun get away with this," I muttered before closing my eyes for, what could be, forever.
"SOLANA!" was the last thing I heard, and if it's the last thing I'll ever hear, I'm glad it's his voice.
Normal P.O.V
Kate stood beside a bloodied and beaten Misty in the ward of the medical centre in Shiver Camp. They had arrived not five minutes ago, but the pokemon had been ready to ambush them. Kate being Kate was able to nimbly dodge the attacks, but Misty wasn't so lucky. She took most of the damage, most of it to her arms and legs.
However, when she fell she had hit her head, so Kate didn't know if she would have amnesia or not. Looking at the unconscious red head, Kate stood back to her feet.
"You're not going back out there?" Puma, Murph's father, as Kate learned, asked as he watched her walk.
Kate grabbed a nearby scarf; she wrapped it around her neck before pulling it up over her mouth and nose.
"I need to find that Blue Gem," was all she replied with.
"Then try the Ice Castle just up the river," Puma stated as he looked at her. Kate nodded her head, beam was heard in the room, Kate turned to see Misty's Gyarados had released itself from its pokeball.
"You wanna come with?" Kate asked in shock, the pokemon only nodded its head. Kate bit her lip, she shouldn't, she couldn't, but if all the pokemon were freaking out, maybe she should.
Walking over to Misty's belt she took Gyarados' pokeball from it, hopefully this pokemon would be able to help her out more than once.
She returned the blue dragon back to its pokeball before walking out into the cold. For once, she was glad Glaceon wasn't with her; she would never forgive herself if something happened to her pokemon.
Kate thought back to everyone that was fighting against the other rampaging pokemon; they were all doing the same. One thought popped into all of their heads.
Kate stopped by the lake, she could see the Ice Castle very vaguely from where she stood, a blizzard was picking up. She grasped Gyarados' pokeball as she looked at the freezing water. She had a feeling that, no; she knew that everything wasn't going so smoothly back at the Union.
Kate looked up at the sky as everyone in the Union, or, in Solana and Lunick's case, looked up into the sky, thought the same thing.
'This means war!'
Sorry about the late update, I've had a few tests since I got back to school. Hopefully this makes up for it, don't kill me please, I just needed something exciting to happen. Hope you all enjoyed it, please review and I'll see ya soon. REVIEW!
