Chapter 10
"Ugh…" I groaned as I tried to get to my feet. I stumbled slightly but I did get to my feet, I looked back over to Amy who was still unconscious.
"Amy… Amy!" I walked over to her, which felt very weird because I was walking on the roof of the car whereas she was still sitting in her seat so she was upside down to me.
"Amy wake up!" I shouted loudly, but she didn't stir. Suddenly I heard voices from outside,
"Humph, is it done?" A dark voice asked from the side of the car. I looked to where the voice came from and I saw two feet standing outside the passenger door.
"Hah, I don't think any one could have survived that hit." A voice said proudly, there was a small silence before the other guy spoke again.
"Well… Destroy the wreckage anyway, I don't want any surprises!" Fear suddenly struck my heart as I heard the persons footsteps slowly fade off. I waited for what the person meant by 'Destroy the wreckage'…
Suddenly I noticed a liquid being sprayed over the car and inside, although not much came inside the car it still worried me. Once they stopped I went over to it and sniffed it.
"… Petrol!" Suddenly everything simultaneously was set a light, fire spread quickly covering the passenger seat within a second.
"Uhhh…" Suddenly Amy began to stir and I took this as my moment. I heard a car drive past so I hoped the people had gone.
"AMY! Amy wake up! We've got to get out of here!" I saw her eyes begin to flutter which was good enough for me as a signal that she heard. I head butted her window which instantly smashed, thankfully. Her eyes finally fully opened and she was shocked to see the car covered in flames, thankfully though it hadn't spread to the driver's seat yet.
"Come on!" I shouted one last time. Smoke was beginning to fill the car causing me and Amy to cough. I heard her struggling but for some reason she couldn't get free.
"Ah! I can't undo my seat belt!" She shouted scared. I began to here a whistling noise which caused my heart to sink, it was the sound of pressure building up… not good. I shook myself and jumped to where Amy's seat belt was I saw it was twisted, probably due to the crash. So I bit into it trying to rip it. It took only a few seconds for my fangs to rip through the material thankfully and Amy was free. She took me in her arms and rolled out of the burning wreckage.
She jumped down into the ditch and as she did the fire finally found its way into the fuel tank. The whole car exploded into a huge fire ball. I looked at Amy who was quivering slightly and I saw tears slowly running down her cheeks. Then she burst into tears, she clenched me to her face and cried into my fur. I didn't mind, I knew she was scared… And to be truthful… so was I…
As Amy began to calm down she pulled me away from her face and looked at me,
"Why! Why do they want to hurt us Alastair!" She looked so sincere… So innocent… This had to be the first time I had ever regretted helping Amy that time long ago. If I had never done that then she would be safe.
"Ugh, this is my fault!" I said to myself, "It has to be, it cant be Amy's…" I knew she couldn't hear me, if she could I knew she would disagree with me, well disagree with the part about it being my fault anyway.
"Well… I suppose we better go home… I'll call the police…" Suddenly I shook my head, I knew the police wouldn't believe this, me transforming, a secret scientific experiment going on under their noses. It would sound crazy.
"Huh… but the police could help us… couldn't they…?" I just shook my head again and pointed to myself.
"Oh… I guess your right… How could they believe such a story? Her expression got more and more helpless as she tried to think of what she could do to help… Unfortunately though, I don't think there is anything she could do in this instance.
I jumped out of her arms and began walking towards my house, signalling for her to follow.
"Huh… Do you think that's a good idea…?" I nodded to the flaming rubble of my destroyed car and I think she got the idea,
"True…" she said before walking along side me. The walk was cold and uncomfortable, not because it was getting late but because it felt as if our trust had been shaken… Well to me it did, I had no idea what Amy thought, she just seamed to wonder as her gaze continually shifted from side to side. I guess she was worried we were still in danger, but for some reason I wasn't… I'm not entirely sure why considering we were practically attacked twice, with in the space of a few minutes.
We finally got to my gates outside my house but something didn't feel right… Amy was about to reach out to push the button to open the gates when I shouted,
"Stop!" She thankfully froze and turned to me. I walked closer to the gates and my ears picked up a buzzing sound. I sniffed at it and got as close to it as I possible could and then I noticed it. A funny looking device attached to the gates with wires on the brackets of the gates. Electricity was flowing from the machine into my metal gates.
"Sheesh, these people really are taking every precaution… Maybe it isn't a great idea after all that we stay at your house" Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I had a friend… Although we didn't get on fantastically I knew I could trust him, I met him during my time of dark battling…
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%FLASHBACK%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Right, it's time for the Dark battle doubles!" A voice boomed
"Huh?" I asked confused, I had been dark battling for a while now but I've tried double dark battling…
"Now pick your partner!" The voice boomed again. Suddenly I felt a hand grab my arm and pull me to the side. It was a boy, a little older than me with a look of such confidence that I didn't think possible.
"Right, you're my partner!" He said as confidently as he looked.
"Huh… But why?" I was confused on why he chose me… And so quickly.
"Hah, we've all seen you battle, to tell you the truth I had to get through three others to get you as my partner. We battled earlier on before the dark battles begun to see who would be your partner."
"And you won…?" I asked knowing what the answer would be, but he began to grin. It was a cold grin which made me shiver slightly.
"Well let's just say that even if they did win… I would have got you as my partner." Suddenly the announcer brought us back out of our conversation,
"Hmm… Seams we're a bit low on numbers…" He said to himself, suddenly I looked towards my partner who pretended he wasn't listening… Now I was scared…
"Anyway, let the Double Dark Battles begin. You and… You, get your partners and battle each other" He said coldly pointing to my partner and another dark battler.
"Come on then." He said grinning at me, suddenly though I looked at our opponents and a look of fear struck their faces as they watched us walk up. They nervously stepped onto the battle field and drew their pokéballs.
"Hah, prepare to be crushed!" My partner said coldly releasing his first Pokémon, which was an Absol. Suddenly though he released another Pokémon, a small Medicham. This confused me but I decided not to ask why. The Absol elegantly entered, almost as confidently as his trainer, shaking his head back and forth angrily signalling he was ready for a fight. The Medicham just stood by its trainer's side.
The two opponents let their Pokémon out, a Cacturne and a shiftry, who, when on entrance, noticed my partner, stumbled slightly. My partner just grinned happily. I released my Arcanine which growled in a dark tone on release, not at me but my opponents. It looked at the Absol which looked back with a grin on its face which didn't bother my Arcanine.
"Ok, 3, 2, 1, Battle!" The announcer shouted and on that our opponents made the first moves.
"Shiftry Harden!"
"Cacturne sand attack" I was slightly intrigued on their moves but I didn't hesitate,
"Arcanine Fire spin!" Arcanine build a huge tornado of fire around him and then charged towards the sand attack. The sand countered some of the fire, but thankfully my Arcanine compensated and soon the sand was added to the huge mass of fire. The Cacturn backed away fearfully, suddenly two blades sliced into the fire spin, I thought it was an attack until I noticed it came from the Absol. Then I noticed that the fire spin seamed to be getting more powerful, and Arcanine was enjoying every moment of it. I began walking towards the fearful Cacturne and it began backing away. Suddenly the Shiftry jumped in front of the way as if asking Arcanine to stop.
I looked to my side to see the Absol watching from a distant, simultaneously though Absol and my partner grew an instant grin on their faces. I looked back at Arcanine's fire spin, then one blade, covered in Arcanine's fire, shot out and struck the Shiftry, causing it to fall to it's knees, then the other blade flew out and struck the Shiftry causing it to roll out of the way.
"No Shiftry!" The trainer cried out about to run out into the pitch until the trainer looked at the Absol which growled angrily, causing the trainer to freeze with fear of getting attacked.
"That's it, kill that Absol!" The other trainer shouted angrily. Suddenly other trainers began to get involved, fear struck me as other Pokémon began to close in on the Absol and my Pokémon.
Suddenly I heard a voice in my head say,
"Just keep that fire spin going and this will be over soon enough…"
"Huh?" I said out of confusion, then I looked at my partner who winked at me and then turned to his Absol which was about to be pounced on by a Houndoom. Suddenly it jumped up and ran to the Arcanine's side. Suddenly it created a twister…
"Now for the fun part…" I heard the voice say. Suddenly fire began to filter into the Absol's twister, suddenly there was two fire spins which seamed to be merged slightly.
"Hah" My partner said, I could see almost a look of excitement on his face as he looked on to our Pokémon and the other twenty or so surrounding them. Suddenly blades of fire flew continuously out of both fire spins. One after enough, each Pokémon collapsed after being slashed and burnt by Absol's fiery blades.
Soon they all had fallen and both Fire spins began to dissipate. I was in shock of what had just happened.
"What the hell just happened?" I said facing my very happy partner, suddenly a voice inside my head said
"Psychics are oh so useful you must understand that…" I looked down at his Medicham which seamed to be smiling at me…
"Huh…?" I didn't exactly get it… How the hell could he get into my head?
"Easy, Medicham mind reads, then transmits it to me, then Medicham reads my mind and transmits it to anyone I choose." I looked at him in shock,
"So… So you can tell your Pokémon what to do through telepathy?" I said marvelled.
"More or less…" He said still grinning.
"That is the end of the battle, the winners are Alastair and Ryu. I noticed as Ryu stepped to the side and bowed towards the announcer. Although unnecessary, his appearance did suite it. He was wearing a long dark cape with a dark red underline. He had a belt fitted for his Pokéballs (all six of them) and a long sword.
"I suppose his confidence even goes past his dress sense" I thought to myself suddenly realising Ryu was looking at me angrily.
"Uh, sorry…" I apologised, not out of good manner, but out of fear. He ignored me none the less which I was slightly relieved at.
"So you want to come over to mine?" He said out of the blue.
"Uh, sure…?" I said unsure.
