Normal P.O.V
Keith walked out of Boyleland Volcano covered in burns and cuts. His hair was slightly singed, while his clothes were covered in burn holes. He sighed as he looked at Buizel, who was shaking his head at the young boy.
"I told you not to go over the steamy part, but do you ever listen to me? No, you don't," he stated, Keith just glared at the water type pokemon by his feet.
"It was not my fault, that Heatran was tougher to beat than you think," Keith stated, Buizel gave him a knowing look.
"Then explain why you got side tracked by colourless crystals," he ordered.
"They were SHINY," Keith replied as they walked down the steps of Boyleland, all Buizel could do was shake his head at his partner next to him.
As Keith was about to speak up about a job well done, his styler suddenly started beeping.
"If this is Rythmi calling to tell me about strong pokemon again, I'll kill her," he stated as he flipped his styler open. "Yeah?"
"Kate's signal's gone from the grid!" Rythmi exclaimed in panic, Keith shot up right as he stood straight.
"What do you mean gone? She was supposed to stay in bed, she isn't fully healed," he stated as he glared at Rythmi, Seren and Kellyn stood behind her.
"Don't blame Ryth," Seren spoke.
"We're all responsible," Kellyn added.
"Are you basically telling me that Kate got up, spoke to you guys, told you her mission and left and YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?!" Keith yelled the last part in utter frustration.
"Erm, yes," all three answered in unison. Keith glared at them.
"Where did she go?" he asked. Rythmi gulped slightly, even though he'd changed; he was still scary as fuck.
"Haruba Desert, towards the Hippowdon Temple, she went after the Yellow Gem," Rythmi answered, Keith nodded his head.
"Alright, Kellyn get to Pueltown, I'm passing the Red Gem onto you. Once you have it take it straight to Hastings, he'll know what to do with it. I'll go to Haruba and find Kate, so help me Arcues is she's injured more than she already is, I'll kill the three of you," Keith stated.
"What about Glaceon? Did Glaceon go with her?" Buizel asked.
"Erm, yeah, she did, she looked an awful lot lighter than normal, maybe she's ill," Seren stated as she went into thought.
"We'll get a doctor on it," Rythmi added, but Buizel had gone pale white, he knew why she was pale and he didn't want her in the middle of all this mess until everything was sorted out. You can guarantee that he was going to have words with her.
"Never mind that, Keith, I'll set off for Pueltown now," Kellyn stated, Keith nodded his head as he ended the call and jumped onto the boat.
Once on and going curiosity got the better of him. Keith pulled out his styler and began going a small amount of research on Glaceons. They were pretty interesting Pokemon. If evolved from an Eevee that knew a psychic move they could still use it, they were gentle creatures and loved their careers, they could last a fair amount of time in hot areas, their fur turned lighter when they were with child….Keith stopped reading then to looked at Buizel, who was looking over the railings of the boat to the ocean.
"Buizel," Keith spoke, his voice quite calm. Buizel only turned his head to Keith. "Where do you and Glaceon go every time you're alone?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, Buizel started to panic.
"Nowhere, I swear, we don't do anything, we're good, erm, I love you Keith?" Buizel stumbled for and answer. Keith only gave him a stern, but knowing look, a few minutes passed before Buizel eventually caved.
"If you already know, why are you asking?" he asked, Keith smiled warmly.
"Because I just wanted to make sure it was true. I'm mad that you've done something like this, but I'm also happy that you've found someone you love," Keith smiled as he petted Buizel's head.
"You need to get out more, stop listening to Rythmi and stop watching chick flicks," Buizel stated as he looked at Keith, who froze on the spot.
"Don't tell anyone about that, I'll kill you if you do," Keith stated.
"Hey, I'm not the only one who knows, Glaceon does too," Buizel replied.
"Just shush," Keith ordered as he looked at his partner, who snickered at him. Silence passed through the boat before Buizel decided it was time to break it.
"So, when are you gonna tell out little Katie that you're in love with her?" Buizel asked as he looked at Keith, who froze slightly.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he answered, though it was clear that he was lying.
"Oh come on Keith, I know it, Glaceon knows it, Rythmi knows it, Kellyn, Seren, Wendy, Sven and Jackie know it. Heck even Hastings and Erma know it, just tell her already," Buizel stated as he looked at Keith, who looked at him before looking at the sky.
"No," was all he answered with.
"Keith-,"
"I lost my mom because I loved her, my father killed her. If he finds out I love Kate, then he'll kill her too, and I can't lose her," Keith interrupted in a whisper. Buizel rolled his eyes.
"News flash Keith, MAX, KAI AND PHANTOM ALL KNOW! IT'S BLOODY OBVIOUS!" Buizel yelled as he looked at Keith, who glared at him.
"Obvious or not, I am not admitting it, I don't wanna see Kate hurt," Keith stated as he looked at Buizel, who frowned at him.
"And if it was the only way you could save her?" he asked.
"Then I'd admit it," Keith replied, "Once all this is over I'll probably tell her, I'd do anything for her," he added as he looked towards the front of the boat. Pueltown was coming into view; Kellyn was already waiting for him at the docks.
"Yo dude," Kellyn smiled as he high fived Keith, who smiled widely at him.
"Yo, here's the Red Gem, get it to Hastings," he ordered.
"No problem dude, Haruba Desert's Captain's waiting for ya on his boat, I already explained the trouble to him," Kellyn stated as he turned to a Staraptor.
"Thanks man, I'll see ya soon," Keith replied.
"See ya man," Kellyn said before taking off on a successfully caught Staraptor.
Keith quickly jumped onto the Haruba Desert boat, which quickly took off in its direction. Minutes passed in silence as the boat hummed in the background. Keith could feel it in his gut, something telling him to hurry up; telling him Kate was in danger, telling him that if he didn't get there soon, Kate could be gone.
Glaceons' P.O.V
Kate had managed to get the Yellow Gem from Cresselia at Haruba Desert. She was lucky too, the Cresselia turned out to be Keith's Guardian Pokemon, so she just gave it to us. There hadn't been any Dim Sun so far and I was hoping it would stay that way, but I knew it wouldn't.
As we exited the small cave a helicopter sounded from overheard. A large man dressed in yellow jumped out, followed by Phantom, Kai and Max, why did this not surprise me?
I growled at the four of them, Kate and I stopped in our tracks but something, or someone, grabbed me from behind and stuffed me into a brown sack, my head only just popping out of the top.
I looked back to see Cresselia waiting in the shadows, but I knew she wasn't allowed to do anything, by Guardian Law, until either Keith or Kate's Guardian gets here, if Kate has a Guardian that is.
"GLACEON!" Kate yelled as she spun around, she looked at the person who had a hold of me. He had blue hair and was dressed in blue and white, Ice.
"Hand over the Gem," Max ordered as he looked at Kate, who turned back to him. I heard the sound of a knife being unsheathed and then the cold silver was pointed at my throat. I saw Kate looked back at me with fearful eyes.
"Don't you dare do it Kate, you and I both know they'll kill us both if you do," I growled at her, she bit her lip.
"If I do, you'll let Glaceon and me go right?" Kate asked, I normally don't say this about my life long partner and friend, but IDIOT! Kate, you shouldn't be doing this.
"Of course," Max answered, I knew he was lying; Kate had to know he was lying. But that didn't matter; she reached into her bag and pulled out the Yellow Gem.
Kai walked over to her, a triumphant smirk on his face, how I wish I could freeze him then and there, but I couldn't with the knife at my throat.
He took the Gem from her; Kate reluctantly let it go before looking at Max.
"Alright, let Glaceon go and let us pass," she ordered, she hadn't believed them, had she? Max smirked at her as he turned to the large yellow one, who I think was Heath.
He walked towards Kate, who got into a fighting stance. He did nothing for a few minutes, then it happened so fast, one punch and Kate had had the wind knocked out of her.
She skidded across the floor towards me. Ice then threw me to the side in the bag and picked her up by the shoulders. Phantom walked over to us with a long rope in his hands, he tied her up a smidgeon on the tight side. I could see her breath go lighter.
Again Heath punched her, sending her backwards towards me. She coughed slightly; blood came out of her mouth as she did so. That's when I saw her reach into her pocket with her hands and pull out a knife. I knew she couldn't move her arms enough to cut herself free, she was freeing me instead, but I couldn't leave her there.
"G-Glaceon," her words came out in almost a whisper. "Go to the entrance of the Temple, if anyone comes, Keith, Kellyn, Seren, anyone, get them away from here. We both know they'll kill them for interfering," Kate ordered, I looked at her, my eyes glazed over with tears.
"Kate, I can't-,"
"I'm not asking Glaceon, I'm telling and as my pokemon you'll do as you're told," Kate ordered as she was lifted up by the hair by Max, who glared down at me. I blinked my tears away before running off out of the room towards a small light.
I turned back in time to hear her whimpers as they started beating her, crushing her bones and cutting her with the knife. They didn't need her anymore, if Kate was out of the picture then Darkrai would supply them with what they wanted, or needed. As I stepped into the light a piercing scream reached my ears. That's when and how I knew Katherine Atreya Jones had just been stabbed, and possibly wouldn't make it.
As soon as I materialised in front of the Hippowdon Temple, I ran. I ran towards the docks of Haruba Desert, hoping, praying that Keith, Kellyn, Seren, Sven, Wendy, Jackie, that someone would come and help my friend.
Kates' P.O.V
I could feel the cold blade pierce my stomach, then one pierce my right shoulder. I couldn't hold it in any longer, I screamed. I screamed, loud, long and hard. My lungs ached by the end of it.
Normally, I would just bounce back. Unfortunately, they seemed to have caught onto that long ago. They've learned, drain my energy, and my life force will follow. I've been beaten, cut and had my bones crushed, that's enough to drain my energy. By stabbing me twice, that's enough to drain my life force.
I knew that someone would come; I knew Glaceon would bring someone, even though I've ordered her not to. But at this moment I didn't care, I knew things were going downhill for me very fast. If I died, Darkrai would win and our world would be forever enclosed in darkness.
I couldn't let that happen, so I fought the darkness that started to engulf me. Max took my styler from my arm; he switched my signal off, but never fully turned it off, that's when it rang. Max answered it, but never said anything.
"Kate? Kate are you there? Arceus Kate if this is a trick it isn't funny, where are you?" Keith's voice, trust him to be the one coming for me.
"I'm afraid Kate can't answer the phone right now," Max answered, I heard Keith gasp. It was silent for a few minutes until he spoke again.
"Where's Kate?" his voice was low, angry, deadly even, that made me smile and gave me more strength to fight against the darkness taking me.
"I'm afraid she's busy dying," Max answered as he turned the styler to my face, I opened my closed eyes slightly to looked at the screen. I make out Keith's face, along with Buizel's, both were in total shock, but that's all I could tell.
"Kate? No, I'm gonna kill you when I get there, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" I heard Keith yell.
"She'll be dead by the time you get here Keith, and we'll be long gone," Max stated as he ended the call. He threw my styler down next to me before crushing it under his feet. "Ranger Scum, let's see you live through any of this," Max smirked as he nodded to Phantom, who drew out a large knife.
I looked at it, my eyes half closed, I realised what he was doing all too late. The knife was plunged into my upper thigh before it was dragged down to my lower thigh.
I screamed again, the air escaping my lungs so fast that I chock as I do so. I cough up the blood that escapes my body through my throat. I can't help it this time; I'm truly going to die.
I heard the sound of the helicopter start up again before it leaves in the distance. I rolled over, from my side, to my back. I looked up at the sky as I do so. My only wish at this moment in time, was to be surrounded by my loved ones, my family, friends, Glaceon, Keith…I wish I could have told him how I felt.
A single tear escapes my eyes as I looked at the white clouds. I take a breath in; I would keep fighting the darkness that threatened to take me to the end. But I fear the end could be so soon.
So I waited, here on the ground, on my deathbed, for one person who could save me, for one person I knew was coming. Keith.
:'( PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! For both the late update and the upsetting chapter, but please do not worry, Max and the others shall get what's coming to them. As of now I am accepting requests as what you want to happen to Max, Phantom, Kai, Heath, Lavana, Ice, Blake, Dim Sun and any other bad guys I've missed out in the final chapter, which hopefully is still far away from here. So review me your ideas, I'll probably put them all in. So, I'll see you again, maybe tomorrow if you're lucky, please REVIEW!
