Keiths' P.O.V

I woke early the next morning. Kate had managed to wrap her arms around me and bury her head into my chest. I sighed silently; sometimes I wonder why she would ever stay friends with someone like me.

After all, she's the perfect person, strong, kind, caring, she helps people no matter who they are, she's part pokemon, well not exactly but you know what I mean. But most of all, she probably the most beautiful person I've ever met, even if I won't tell her that in person.

I placed my hands over hers before slowly removing them from my waist. I needed to get to Boyleland and soon. If Max or Kai got their hands on one crystal it could bring about the end of the world.

I slowly moved over Kate, kissing her forehead as I did so before walking into the bathroom. I was going to Boyleland, there was no point in getting a shower, I'd smell like ash and sweat by the time I'd get back.

I did wash my face with cold water, waking me up fully and did my usual bathroom routine before walking out to get Buizel.

My partner was curled up next to Glaceon, like usual, but something seemed different about her. I'm not sure what; she seemed more lighter than before. Oh well, must be nothing, if she's sick the nurses can sort her out.

I knelt down next to Buizel, placed my hand on his shoulder and lightly shook him.

"Buizel," I whispered, he stirred slightly, "Buizel," I whispered louder this time. The pokemon opened its eyes to look at me.

'Keith? What's going on?' he asked as he rubbed his eyes, I smiled as I picked him up before walking out the room and towards the Operators room, even they weren't up.

I checked my watch; it was five in the morning. That would explain so much.

"Buizel, listen, we're going to Boyleland to get the Red Gem, Kate requested it, as well as the legendries, sorry to wake you up so early," I whispered, Buizel looked at me before jumping on my shoulder and silently pumping his fist.

'Let's do this, for Kate,' he whisper shouted, I smiled, he was really growing on me.

We walked out of the Union towards the steps before stopping; the sun hadn't even rose yet.

"So, you're just leaving without a goodbye?" I turned to see Seren stood behind me, trust her to be the only one up at this time.

"I'm not leaving, I need to get something, I'll be back though," I answered; Seren gave me a doubtful look.

"The last time you took off by yourself was in the Ranger School, and you didn't return for over a week," she stated as she walked up close to me.

"You think I'm just gonna leave and not come back in the middle of all this?" I hissed at her.

"Well, we don't know what you're like Keith," great, now Kellyn was here. I glared at him.

"Nice to know you think so highly of me," I growled.

"Keith we're just trying to look out for you," Rythmi, why were they all up?

"No, you're not trying to look out for me; you're looking out for the entire world, which I can't blame you for. But if you think that I'm just gonna leave in the middle of this, in the middle of my own father trying to destroy everything and everyone, then you seriously need to get fucking checked out. I have my styler and you can monitor me, the only time you'll need to even think about checking up on me is if my signal goes dead. Now if I don't go then they're gonna end up getting what we need. And if you send anyone to follow me, I swear I'll put you in the fucking hospital wing," I growled before storming off, I could feel my eyes changing but quickly buried my anger down. I need to get a punching bag.

Buizel sat on my shoulder silent. My arms were folded over my chest due to the large amount of wind blowing at this time in a morning. I could feel something was wrong, it's like the weather was telling me to turn back.

Buizel shivered as he wrapped his arms around his body, I looked at him before unzipping my jacket and putting him in it.

'Keith?'

"You tell anyone I did this and I'll kill you," I glared at the pokemon, who froze in fright before he snuggled into my warmth.

Something was wrong, something was very, very wrong. But I carried on towards Pueltown….wait…..WHY DIDN'T I CATCH A STARAPTOR?! Oh yeah, I was in a hurry to get away from my friends.

Rythmis' P.O.V

The wind blew passed us harder and faster than what either of us expected. We quickly walked into the Union. Seren turned to look back outside, I woke up because I felt something was off, but I didn't know what.

"Keith's gonna get himself in trouble, someone's gotta go after him," Kellyn stated, Seren shook her head.

"You heard what he said, besides, he can take care of himself, I hope," she replied as she looked at me. "Why are you up?" she asked.

"Something felt wrong, like when you have a nightmare and you know something's not right, only I didn't have a nightmare," I answered.

"And you?" Seren asked Kellyn.

"Same as Ryth," he answered, Seren frowned slightly.

"Well, that makes three of us, maybe we should check on Kate," she stated as her brows furrowed together in, what looked like, confusion.

"What's going on?" we turned to see Sven and Wendy walking over to us, like the rest of us, minus Seren, they were in their pyjamas.

"Keith's gone to get a Red Gem, why are you two up?" Kellyn asked.

"Well, we had something that felt like a nightmare, but wasn't and when we woke up we knew something was wrong," Wendy answered as she folded her arms.

"Well, that's make five of us," Seren stated.

"We should really check on Kate," I spoke up, looking at everyone as I did so. They all looked at me before nodding their heads.

We walked up the stairs towards Kate's room. I opened the door quietly before looking around; there was nothing out of the ordinary in the room.

"What's that?" Seren asked as she pointed to the wall. We all turned to the wall. A dark figure stood watching Kate, it turned to us. Blood red eyes glared into our souls as we took a step back.

It stepped forwards, we stepped back, it moved to the left, we saw writing on the wall, in blood.

"They won't survive, count the days until their death bed. You won't recognise them in the end," Kellyn read out.

"Who's them?" Sven asked, though we all had a good feeling about who it was. We turned back to look at the figure, something was floating above its head, like a vision on the future.

"KEITH!" that was Kellyn's voice.

"KATE!" that was mine.

Grey smoke cleared from the image, we all looked at it. It wasn't what we expected, there were mangled bodies all over the place, none we could put an actual face too.

"You don't think they're-,"

"Don't even talk like that."

"But Kellyn-,"

"THEY'RE NOT IN THIS MESS! THEY CAN'T BE!"

"Kellyn, it's Keith's chain."

"What?"

"They're gone."

"They- they can't be."

"You've lost, and now, the world is ours."

The image quickly faded. We looked at the thing in front of us in shock.

"Kate and Keith," Kellyn whispered.

"They're gonna die?" Seren asked.

"We're gonna lose?" I whispered.

"It can't be," Sven whispered.

"Kate, she's strong than that, I know she is," Wendy whispered.

"They'll lose, we'll win and you'll die," the figure spoke.

"Not if I've got something to say about it," we all looked up, Kate was standing behind the figure, her hands glowing with light, her eyes had turned white.

"What?" the figure seemed taken aback. Kate shot the light from her hands, which hit the figure, causing it to scream in pain before disappearing.

We all looked at Kate, her eyes turned back to their normal blue before she collapsed back onto her bed. Whatever Kate had just done, she wasn't conscious when she did it.

Kates' P.O.V

Ok, what the hell just happened? My head is now pounding and I can't get rid of this light that's surrounding me. I just wanna wake up, but I can't for two reasons, one, my body clock will completely fuck up, and two, this white light's dragging me further and further into it.

I held my head as my world began spinning before actually stopping. I removed my hands from my head before opening my eyes and looking up.

Fires encased different kinds of houses and forest, pokemon ran for their lives while people screamed as their loved ones were killed in front of them, or their limbs were ripped from their bodies.

I closed my eyes, there was no way, this couldn't be. I looked around again, it wasn't the future, it was the past. I looked into the air; a small black ball was spreading widely. From a Dark Void Darkrai appeared.

An evil glint in its eyes, his hands glowing black, absorbing the energy the ball gave off. Fire erupted from it, fire, lightning and various other pokemon attacks. It was like one pokemon that was bent on destruction and could control every move possible.

Then it hit me, not literally, but I realised that ball, was me. It was me before I became Katherine Atreya Jones. It was me before I was born. It was me, when I had no choice of what to do in the world. I'm the one who almost destroyed it one time.

I don't know why I was having this, I don't know if I could call it a flash back or memory. What I did know was that, if Darkrai got a hold of me, and I still had power like this, then I would destroy the entire world.

Laughter was heard from the murderous pokemon as he flew off somewhere. I took one look at the black ball before following after Darkrai, where was he going?

We ended up in a small house in Fiore; I don't know why Darkrai had come here. I entered the house; it didn't surprise me when I could walk through the walls at all.

"I want you to promise me, that no matter what happens, you will never, ever, close yourself up to your friends, that you'll find someone you love and you'll always protect them," I followed that voice. I ended up at a small room, the door was open. A woman held her child in her arms; I looked at the small red haired child.

Wait, red hair, Darkrai had come here for a reason, this was Keith's house, that was Keith as a child. Then Darkrai was going to, oh no.

Keith's mom walked out of the room at that point, she was a beautiful lady. As she walked passed she looked at me, stopped then carried on her way, did she see me or something?

Keith came running out of the room then, I ran after him towards the pace where he was heading.

I gasped when I saw the room; Keith's father had already done it. She couldn't have been in the room more than a minute. We couldn't have taken more than a minute to get there.

Max advanced on Keith, who backed into a corner, his eyes filled with fright, but Max didn't try to hurt him. My eyes went wide.

"DON'T LOOK AT HIM KEITH!" I yelled, Keith turned to look at me, his eyes wide. My eyes went wide when I realised he could see me, how?

Max looked at me, he growled, his eyes flashed red before they turned to their normal colour. Darkrai emerged from his body before looking at me.

He charged at me, but couldn't hit me; it was like I was a ghost. I gulped slightly, Darkrai growled before disappearing. I looked at Keith, who was looking at me more shocked than I had ever seen him. What just happened?

"Who, are…" Keith's voice faded out as I was surrounded by a white light. I looked around as images, memories of the Ranger School and everything ran through my mind. Keith had changed, he didn't lock himself up as much, he smiled more and he hadn't had any blackouts.

The light stopped, it was replaced by darkness. I looked around, Deoxys stood in the middle of it all.

"Deoxys?" I asked.

"You changed the past," he answered my unasked question.

"How did…."

"You have the powers of pokemon, remember that Kate. Even though you didn't intend to do it, you changed the past," he interrupted.

"But if I changed the past, how come I couldn't stop Keith's mom getting killed?" I asked.

"That was something couldn't be avoided. If you had managed to save her from Max, then she would have died in a few years time from cancer," Deoxys answered.

"But don't you think it would have been better? I mean, Keith would have still had a mom for a few years after that, wouldn't have he?" I asked. Deoxys shook his head slightly.

"Keith's a strong boy, the only difference in him now is that he isn't the Curse of the Son, you changed that," Deoxys stated. "I must go now, I'll talk to you soon Kate," he added before disappearing.

I looked around the darkness one last time before I felt myself waking up.

I moaned slightly as I sat up in my bed, the sun had risen, Glaceon was laid at the foot of my bed and Keith…was gone? What? Oh, wait, he probably went to get the Red Gem.

I moved my hands over my cuts, feeling they had healed, thank you Arceus. I looked at Glaceon; she was a lot more bluer than normal, like more lighter. I frowned slightly.

"Glaceon," I shook her. She lifted her head up to look at me; I gave her a stern look, along with a glare. She shrunk back slightly; she knew I was catching on.

"Where do you and Buizel go exactly when Keith and I aren't around?" I asked as I glared at her, she shrunk back more.

"Nothing, I swear Katie," she answered, I shook my head before smiling slightly.

"Then explain to me why you're a lighter blue than normal," I ordered, Glaceon blushed a very noticeable shade of red. "Look, it's none of my business ok, but you might want to tell Buizel," I added as I looked at Glaceon before standing up.

"Come on, we should get ready for the day, there's still the Yellow Gem to get, think you can handle it?" I asked, Glaceon looked at me before smiling widely and nodding her head.

"Thanks for not being mad Katie," she smiled as she rubbed my leg with her head; I petted her behind the ears.

"Hey no problem, besides, I was wondering when it was gonna happen. Now the only rough thing to do is ease Keith into knowing he's going to be a grandpa," I replied before walking into the bathroom, leaving Glaceon laughing slightly.

Once I came back out the bathroom Glaceon was stood waiting for me. My hair was in its usual pigtails, while my uniform was clean and tidy. I picked my styler up and we headed out the room.

I walked over to where Rythmi was, she seemed happier than normal.

"Morning Kate," she smiled, I smiled back at her.

"Hey Kate," I turned to see Kellyn and Seren walking over.

"Morning, where's Keith?" I asked.

"Gone to get the Red Gem. Listen we saw something weird in your room the other night," Seren spoke as she looked at me; I leant back on the counter as Rythmi handed me a cup of tea.

"What?" I asked.

"There was this figure that showed us the future, lots of people were dead, so were you and Keith, in other words-,"

"We lost the war?" I asked as I interrupted Kellyn, who had been explaining, he nodded his head. "It was Darkrai, the bastard can't enter mine or Keith's body due to Cresselia sorting him out, therefore he decides to scare everyone. Just ignore it, what you saw is more than likely a false vision, if it was true then Arceus would say something," I explained as I turned to Rythmi, who nodded her head.

"Alright, we'll ignore it for now," she answered.

"How's Keith anyway?" I asked. Rythmi was about to answer until someone popped up on the screen.

"Speak of the devil," Seren laughed as we walked to talk to Keith.

"Yo Keith," Kellyn smiled.

"Hey Keith," the girls and I smiled.

"Hey guys, I'm just checking in, I know Rythmi hates it when I don't," Keith stated with a goofy smile. "Oh yeah, Kate, when do you want these back anyway?" Keith asked as he held up a lacy blue thong, that was mine? I don't remember buying it.

"You changed the future remember," Arceus reminded me, oh yeah.

"When did you take those?" I asked.

"Last night, remember?" Keith asked, I thought back to last night, he hadn't taken them then. "Just kidding, I took 'em this morning while you were sleeping, so when dya want 'em back?" he asked.

"When you get back, I swear I'm gonna kill you," I answered as I glared at him.

"No you love me too much," he replied, I only glared at him. "Huh, oh, gotta go guys, lava river ahead of me," he stated.

"Don't try swimming in it," Rythmi stated.

"You don't say," Keith replied before the screen went black.

"Well, he seems, different," I muttered.

"What are you talking about? That's how Keith normally is," Rythmi stated.

"Though I do feel like there was a different Keith before," Seren stated.

"Kate changed the future, what dya expect?" Kellyn asked, we all looked at him.

"How'd you know that?" I asked.

"Easy, I got a visit from your Guardian Pokemon, Deoxys, he told me. He also told you two, but you may have brushed it off as a dream," Kellyn answered.

"Yeah I did," Rythmi stated.

"Same here," Seren shrugged.

"The only one who doesn't know is Keith, we need to keep it that way," Kellyn replied. We all nodded our heads before Glaceon and I started walking out the door.

"Where are you going?" Rythmi asked.

"Keith's gone to get the Red Gem, there's still the Yellow Gem that's needed, I'm gonna go get it," I answered.

"Be careful," Seren ordered.

"Will do," I replied.

"You said that last time," Kellyn stated.

"This time I mean it," I responded.

"You said that last time too!" all three of them pointed out.

"Heh, bye," I sheepishly said before rushing out the room. I looked at Glaceon who walked next to me before smiling at her.

"Let's get this mission over with," I said before we started walking towards Pueltown. We'd have to get the boat since I haven't been there yet. You know I never asked Kellyn how he is, or how he's walking after his fall. Hm, oh well, Solana's still resting; I hope she's ok soon.

Hope this chapter's alright for you guys. To make the whole past thing easier, Kate basically travelled back in time unknowingly and made it so Keith wasn't the Curse of the Son, but instead just normal Keith. In the story he will not change but he will be more open, he will still be perverted, as you have seen and still be a laugh. I hope you've all enjoyed it, please review, it won't be long until we've reached 300, you guys are awesome. So review and I'll see yas soon. REVIEW!
