Tis better to have played then lost, then to never have played at all.

I found myself growling at the pair of women that had found the three of us. I wanted to attack them, but with no orders from Brandy or Jade, I couldn't do anything, but wait. Damn Loyalty.

"Damn it," Karen took out her Pokéball, Brandy did the same, "how did you find us."

"Seriously, it's not like we were looking for you guys," the dark headed priestess shrugged, "But you kids make this too easy."

"You'll never beat us," the blond released her Sunflora.

"Want a bet," Karen threw her Pokéball, "Go, Andrew!"

In a flash, a Ponyta jumped into the air. Dashed around the Sunflora and then behind Karen. He stood at the ready behind his master. With a single stroke, Andrew was ready for a fight.

"Don't make us laugh," the dark head didn't even bother to take out her Pokéball, "Our Pokémon have exceeded above their weaknesses."

The blond laughed, "Send out as many Pokémon you like."

"Don't mock us," Karen stared them down.

"We aren't mocking. It's just how it is," the dark head shrugged, "And we really don't have time to play with you for very long."

"Well, if you're so confident in yourself," Karen smiled, "If we win then you give us Tyler back."

"Go suck an egg, Mackenzie," the blond razzberried, "Sunflora Leaf Storm!" The flower Pokémon began to accelerate as it used a more rapid version of Razor Leaf. The grand storm of leaves concentrated itself into a single blast.

"Andrew use Protect!" The Ponyta dashed forward and released a green shield, but it didn't hold out for long. The green shield shattered, it's pieces were as countless as the leaves. Brandy shielded me with his body.

"No," the humans screamed. I couldn't do anything, but watch.

"You fool," the dark head yelled at Brandy.

"You alright, Leo?."

I nodded.

"Andrew get up!" The Ponyta couldn't stand up. If that attack was that powerful for a Fire Pokémon then how much more painful was it for Brandy?

…I-I have to help him…

I tried to clean his wounds. Leo did this for me a few times before. Doing it myself wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. His blood tingled in my mouth..

"(I'd worry more about myself, if I were a filthy Fire Pokémon like you.)," the Sunflora mocked me.

"Our Pokémon are trained especially to fighting Fire Pokémon."

"There's no way for you to beat us."

"Well, if you were me," Brandy stood up and reached for his Pokéball, "then you'd know that this isn't over yet!"

"(Are you insane!)," I barked at him to sit down again.

"Little Brat," the dark head spat.

"I still have my Pokémon," Brandy shouted, "Let's go, Phineas!"

"Toti, Toti Dile," the crocodile danced as he was happily released from the Pokéball. It automatically released a strong Watergun attack on Sunflora.

"Sorry," Brandy apologized, "Phineas likes to play a bit."

"Was that attack supposed to do something," the blond asked as her Sunflora shook off.

"That wasn't an attack," Brandy laughed, "Phineas does that to everybody."

"Don't joke," the dark head yelled at Brandy. Phineas fired anther Watergun to make her shut up.

"See," Brandy shrugged, "I can't stop him."

"Are you an Idiot," Karen yelled at Brandy, "You saw what Sunflora did to Andrew's Protect! Who knows what it will do to your Totidile!"

"Phineas is stronger than he looks," Brandy smirked, "Use Bite!"

The blue gator jumped at the Sunflora with his jaws wide open. The Plant barely dodged by a hair as Phineas' jaws snapped shut. The Totidile responded by spinning around and using Iron Tail. Sunflora was slammed into a tree and fell to the ground. Phineas made a mad dash at Sunflora, jaws agape. Sunflora countered with a single Razor Leaf. Phineas bit it in half.

"Now use Ice Bite!"

Phineas bounced again and caught Sunflora's leaf arm in his jaws. It froze over quickly under a white mist. Phineas laughed as he danced in happiness.

"Alright, you guys are so used to fighting fire that you don't know how to handle the cold," Brandy declared, "Phineas, finish it off!"

Phineas ignored Brandy's command and fired another Watergun at the priestesses.

"Gah! You'll pay for that," the blond shrieked.

"Go, Shiftry! Use Bullet Seed!"

Shiftry wasn't halfway out of it's Pokéball when it attacked. Totidile dodged with a cartwheel.

"Hey, no fair," the blond whined, "They're my prey!"

"Get over it," she knock the blond in the back of her head, "You've had your fun now it's my turn."

Shiftry launched another Bullet Seed attack. This time Phineas backflipped out of the way. One, two, three, four, Five whole times. Phineas stopped before knocking into us.

"Rock Tomb!"

Shiftry stomped on the ground. Huge rock pillars rose from the ground and surrounded our group.

"Phineas use Dig!"

"To Ti," Phineas disappeared underground.

"Leo," Brandy turned to me, "Follow Phineas underground and surprised them with one of your Fire attacks."

I looked at the hole in the ground. One part of me was screaming "No way Jack!", but the other part had a hold on me. I jumped in after Phineas. The next thing I knew I could hear Brandy yell another attack.

"Use Return!"

With a crash, I saw a light. I could hear Totidile pounding away at the Shiftry. When I realized where I was, I sped up in my crawling. Not that I was in any hurry to attack them, I just wanted out of that hole. I stopped near the opening of the hole almost ready to jump out when…

"That's enough," Tarsa growled, "Skuntank, finish this."

"Skun-Tank!" I listened as Poison Gas shot out from the tip of it's tail. Behind me I could hear everyone else coughing and then fainting to the ground. I could almost smell the gas coming closer through the hole behind me. I stuck my nose out just far enough for enough fresh air.

"Toti Totidile!" Totidile was struck down with a Giga Impact. Phineas made a dent in the Rock Tomb that surrounded Karen and Brandy.

"(Crud…)," I stood agape at what I had just witnessed.

What else could I do? Fight? I didn't know how! Call me a coward all you want, but I'm not like Leo! Leo had years of training and experience. I only have thirty minutes of experience, Max! And even if I knew how to use fire, it'd still be pointless to go up against these Pokémon.

"Toti-Ti Dile!"

I couldn't believe my eyes. The Totidile stood up again. Not only that, but it started to dance mockingly at Skuntank. Skuntank huffed, but couldn't move even two steps.

"Girls, if you wouldn't mind," Tarsa asked, "We've put off the ritual long enough."

"Shiftry Whirlwind!"

Shiftry used its leaf fans to twist a tornado. Phineas was whisked into the air. He screamed as he twirled wildly out of control. He began to glow red and bursted into a red light as he was forcefully returned to his Pokéball on the other side of the stone columns.

"Shall we finish them off," the blond almost leaped for joy. Her Sunflora mimicked its trainer's action, despite of its frozen arm.

"No, let's leave them be," the other priestess returned her Pokémon to it's storage, "As Tarsa said, we've put off the ritual long enough."

"She's right," Tarsa returned Skuntank, "Leave them be, for now."

"Awe," the blond frowned, returning Sunflora.

If right now you are wondering why Tarsa left me alone with Jade… Then don't.

Here's what happened…

"How is this crazy ritual supposed to provide anything besides death!"

"Simple," Tarsa pointed to the pages, "Take their life, burn what's left and scatter the ashes onto the winds, so that the forest life shall be spared. Eternity shall be granted."

"And the fire Pokémon shall be snuffed out," Jade snapped, "I know."

"Did you also know that I don't plan on scattering the ashes to the winds? I plan on keeping the ash all to myself."

"But why," Jade didn't get it, and frankly, I didn't either. It was crazy enough as it was.

"Immortality is but one ritual away," Tarsa chuckled to himself.

"Do you really expect these girls to go along with this," Jade argued as loudly as she could so that Kenda could hear them. Kenda did take a moment to focus in on the conversation.

"Of course," Tarsa shouted proudly, "We have been training for this day for years."

"But you're going to kill these girls for your own ambitions."

"We all share the same great ambition," Tarsa laughed gleefully. When Kenda looked away again, Tarsa's smile turned sinister again, "You can't beat me at this game, child. I've had years of practice."

"Bastard," Jade growled.

"I'm not proud of it," Tarsa sighed, turning to the small green Pokémon that I knew too well, "Take Lord Pseudo to his 'seat of honor'."

"(… Yes sir…)," Treeko sighed as he took hold of of me, "(I'm sorry about this, little guy.)"

"(Den led meh gough!)"

"(I wish I could let you go, but I'm not allowed to…)," the Treeko (with me in his arms) hopped down to the stone circle. There was a crashing sound in the distance. Tarsa left to investigate the noise.

"(Kuick, Nows youghr janse, Leb meh gough.)," I screamed as best as I could.

"(I can't… I'm sorry.)," the Treeko's paws began to glow a deep green.

"(Whie nawt)," he was taking my energy.

"(It's for my Trainer's sake.)," he sighed sadly, "(Please understand. If I don't do what Tarsa says, he'll kill my Trainer.)"

"(Buhd yough… er gillin… meh.)," I couldn't move.

"(I'm sorry…)"

"Quit giving him that "I'm sorry" crap," Jade yelled a him, "I told you what happened to your Trainer."

…Jade can understand Pokéspeech?…

"(You're a lier!)," the Treeko stopped absorbing as much of my energy, "(My Trainer would never do that! Never!)"

"I saw him do it myself."

…What are they talking about?…

"(My Idiot may be a friend!… Mew, I mean my Friend may be an idiot, but he would never do something that-…! He'd never do something so… HEARTLESS!)"

…Wait, I know that voice… it can't be…
I couldn't smile, so I laughed weakly instead.

"(What are you laughing about?)," Terry snapped, "(No, wait are you… happy?)"

…I can't believe that he's still a Treeko…

"(What are you so happy about?)"

…Oh right, I should be scared for my life… But it's him… Terry… My Terry…

I'm ending the Arch next chapter.

I'm sick of Tarsa.

I'm sick of Voodoo.

And I'm tired of not showing you the real villains I made for this story.

I also have to quit this story for a while.

With all due respect, I've ignored my main story long enough.

I really enjoyed writing this, and I hope that you all come back when I choose to start updating it again.

Bye!
