Well, here is the 2nd to last chapter that goes with Left In The Shadows.
Not much to say here once again, except for these two things.
This is the final fight, the next chapter is a celebration chapter, and finally, Chapter 20 will be the first chapter to the sequel (I will not post the sequel until I have at least 5 chapters of it done already. I'll let you guys decide if you want them all up at once, or on different days)
Sorry for the long wait. My dad got sick with something that has been going around recently. Since he's doing better, I'll be updating this story and Final Stand once I get the chance to!
Happy Birthday Zyxa! :D
Disclaimer - I don't own Pokemon sadly.
Jagger's POV
I looked up into the starless night, wondering if Ace's prediction was corrects. "Normally he's always right when he uses Future Sight, but what if it doesn't work this time..?" I thought.
"Don't worry. They arrive in five minutes, in the exact spots where we want them." I heard in my head.
I mentally sighed for Ace to hear me, before heading to the bushes where I was suppose to hide, my mind going silent once arriving. "Ace must be telling the others what they need to be doing."
I waited a few more minutes before hearing "Everybody is updated with what they need to do. All of Saga's team is arriving in thirty seconds."
I nodded and ducked down, only my eyes poking out.
Charm's POV
I poked my head out to see the Vaporeon hunting Saix down. Smirking, I got out of hiding and made my way to her and asked "Hey cutie, whatcha doin in this part of the woods?"
She looked towards me before asking "Do you know if an Umbreon named Saix lives around here? My friend is looking for him and one of her acquaintances, a Pidgeot, said he saw him here.
To be more convincing, I made a confused face and said "I don't know who you're talking about, but I know something I can show you, you sexy beast."
Pluvia just sighed before saying "Look. I know that you traveled with Saix, now tell me where he is. I don't want to battle."
"Sorry cutie, I don't know who this Saix guy is, he seems to have a cute name though." I replied. "How do you know me though? I'm new to this forest."
Pluvia started growling and getting into an offensive stance. Seeing how the situation was escalating, Burza jumped out of the tree and said "Hey bitch, long time no see." Just from seeing Burza, Pluvia started growling even more causing me to laugh.
"Look girl, chill out and we can have some fun as I promised. I'd actually love to see what you're like." I purred.
"I don't give a shit about your offer, I have a job to do!" Pluvia yelled before charging up a Hydro Pump. Once fully charged, she shot it towards us causing me to freeze in fear, not knowing what do to at the gallons of water being fired towards us.
As I sat like a sitting Ducklett, Burza took action and jumped in front of me and shot a Charge Beam. The two moves collided, causing a loud explosion to erupted in the small area. Once the smoke cleared up, it showed both Burza and Pluvia staring each other down. Not wanting to be useless, I decided to step in, my eyes glowing pink from starting up a Moonblast. Burza and even Pluvia, had their jaws dropped. I collected the Moon's light and opened my mouth as wide as I could, shooting a pink beam towards the water Eeveelution. Once I stopped using Moonblast, I looked over to see Pluvia against a smashed tree. "Well Burza, that was easy. She must not battle much. Anyways, lets go. We need to take her to the middle of the clearing and make sure she stays unconscious." I said, stretching. Burza nodded and started using Psychic to put the Vaporeon on my back. Once fully balanced, we made our way to the middle of the clearing.
Meka's POV
My pal Igneous and I sat next to each other, not even trying to hide from Radi. We watched the sky, hoping to see at least a single star. "Look." Igneous mumbled, pointing towards a shooting star. "Make a wish."
I looked at the star and closed my eyes, wishing for Radi to get here soon so we could go back to living normally. I reopened my eyes to the sound of foot steps. Knowing who it was, I turned my head enough to see a Jolteon. "Why hello Radi, doing well?" I said, smirking. Igneous turned around at my words, his paw guard clanking from the adjustment for battle.
I saw Radi raise an eyebrow before asking "Don't know you. I'm just looking for an old friend of mine, an Umbreon named Saix. You know em?" I nodded before fully turning around.
"Shame you remember him, but not me, old friend." I said, looking him straight in the eyes. "I use to always be at your den, taking care of you, or playing games with you."
I glanced at Igneous who's face was full of confusion, before looking back at Radi, his eyes full of anger. "You left me when I needed you most. Then you join that fucking rat Saix? You disgrace. I'd expect more from you." He growled.
I just chuckled and replied "I had to leave. I'm sorry, but I don't see why you need Saix. He's an amazing dude."
Radi continued growling, and said "He's an annoying fuck so I'm helping his mom capture him so he'll be torture, and eventually killed."
I sighed and just said "You aren't who I use to know. And this is why we must stop you." After saying this, I saw the static start building up in Radi's fur, and hear Igneous' guard's claws grow. I just chuckled as I saw the Thunderbolt speeding towards me. A split second become it hit me, I sidestep and shot a quick Ice Beam freezing his legs. "Igneous, do it. I want this over quick." I said.
My friend nodded and put his duller metal claw up to Radi's shoulder, and pressed down causing Radi to scream in pain. As the seconds continued, Igneous kept pushing down harder into the pressure point. Eventually, I got tired of hearing the Jolteon scream so I shot an Ice Beam towards his muzzle, instantly closing his mouth. "Be lucky I didn't freeze your nose so you don't suffocate. I continued looking him dead in the eyes, waiting for him to pass out. After another minute or two, his muffled screams stopped and his eyes soon started to droop closed. Once fully unconscious, he fell on his side, smashing the ice on his muzzle. "Can you heat up the ice to melt it? I'll drag this son of a bitch back. After Igneous melted the ice, I grabbed onto Radi's scruff and started dragging him towards the meeting point.
Athena's POV
"It just doesn't feel right Ace." I whined.
He looked at me and said "Don't worry. Your mate is safe and I assume everybody else is too."
"I know that, but the plan involves me flirting with somebody that isn't my mate. It just doesn't feel right at all..." I said, my ears drooping slightly.
Ace put his tail on my back and replied "We're Psychic types. We'll be able to get this done, no problem at all."
"You're right... This isn't as bad as I'm making it seem. It's just me feeling guilty just for the thought of flirting with a Pokemon other than-" I cut myself off at the sound of leaves being stepped on.
"He's here. Get down and I'll tell you what to do." I heard Ace tell me through telepathy.
Not knowing what the other Espeon had in mind, I follow his directions and lowered myself into the small tunnel under all the shrubbery. Once I saw the red feet right in front of my face, I heard Ace say "Bite his paw and hold him down. I'll be able to do the rest. Got it?"
"Yeah. Biting him in 3... 2... 1... Now!" I thought back. I lunged out of the makeshift tunnel and bit firmly into his paw, holding it down to keep Flare from moving too much. With me biting him, he shouted multiple swear words in pain. While cursing, he looked down to see me holding onto his paw, which was leaking his crimson blood. I saw the fire in his eyes start burning, which soon moved down to his throat. While opening his mouth, I saw the flame forming on his uvala. I closed my eyes in anticipation of being burnt, when I suddenly felt somebody limp land on me. When opening my eyes back up, I looked to see a rock with purple aura hovering a few feet off the ground, and a knocked out Flareon on top of me. I groaned before rolling off and asking Ace if he could take Flare, on which he agreed to.
Jagger's POV
I sat in the middle of the clearing, looking around. After a while, I finally saw the three groups dragging unconscious Eeveelutions to me. "Alright Ace. Once they're in a pile, teleport them far away from here. I don't want to look at them again." I said once he was in earshot range.
He nodded and put the three in a dog pile(Would that be correct for Pokemon?) and began to use Teleport on them. After thirty seconds, a small portal opened, sucking the three in, closing not much later. "Now line up. Our final opponent is approaching." I said as I heard the sound of leaves crunching. Not too long after, the form of a Leafeon appeared.
"So Jagger. You teamed up with these shits I see." She said plainly. "I had given you the chance to be my mate. All you had to do was capture Saix for me. I guess you aren't the man you said you were." I growled at her before feeling a long amount of pressure on my back and my stomach hitting the ground. I grunted in pain before looking around to see all of us in the same position. "No using your fire type moves darling." She said, before a vine came from her, hitting me in the cheek, knocking me out instantly.
"You're all next."
Saix's POV
"HELP!" Someone screamed into my head.
"Ace?" I asked out loud. I looked towards the still awake kits and cleared my throat to get their attention. Once all their eyes were on me, I said "Stay here and stay safe. I need to leave. The others are in danger." They nodded and huddled together. I smiled and made my way out of the den. I looked to my left to see a bunch of vines holding down my what seems to be knocked out friends and mate, in front of them a Leafeon... "Mom..."
I slowly walked over to her, our eyes connecting the second she sees me. Stopping a few yards away from her, I asked "Why? Why did you have to fucking do this to me you monster. I wanted to be like you, but you... You had to fucking ruin it for me you bitch."
She frowned and replied "Why are you swearing at your mother. You should know better my love."
I growled at her and started saying "I loved you. I always did, but you had to go and force me into being something I didn't want to be. I wanted to be like you, you were my idol. But no. I was only born to be the town damn slave. I thought you loved me. I was gullible at the time though. The only real thing that I can congratulate you for is hiding it for so damn long, you sick bastard. After I leave the town, sick of being bullied for being a dark type, you decide you want me in pain and dead. Your own fucking son! I made friends during the journey, found myself a mate, and now have my own children. Can't you see that your plan would ruin not just mine, but other's lives too? As I spoke, my anger began to build, and didn't stop. The anger turning into power. "You're a fucking poor excuse of a Pokemon. I don't give a shit if you're the reason I'm here." After this sentence, I blacked out.
Lux's POV
I gained eyesight to see everything Saix was seeing and said "Self Defense Mode Activated." I looked around to see everybody I met previously, except for five of them, all forced into the ground by a type of massive vine. Assuming they're all friends of Saix, I looked towards the only Pokemon still standing other than me. "You caused this." I said clearly. "And now, you're going to pay." I started slowly strutting towards the Eeveelution, who looked perfectly calm. I lifted up a paw which grew in size from me starting to swing with a Shadow Claw. As I swung my paw, the Leafeon was gone. I heard a whistle behind me and turned around.
"Too slow sweety." She said, smirking. I felt the ground under me start to collapse. When I glanced down, I saw vines break out and start to wrap around my legs. "Sorry, but since you're too big to bring back, I've got to do this." She said. I felt her push her put a paw on my throat, her claws slowly poking out. Her not knowing the strength that a pokemon in S.D.F.M, I broke free from the vines and twirled around, hitting her with an Iron tail. Once she hit the ground, I made my way to her, and put a paw on her body. "You don't know what you're getting into..." She croaked.
I just chuckled and said "And I don't give a shit. Saix can finally live happily with you gone." After that sentence, I ejected my claws, which grazed her neck. "Goodbye." And with that, I shoved my claws into her throat, which came out the other side, releasing her head and lots of blood from the body. I left the decapitated body and made my way to the knocked out pokemon. With the little strength I had left given to me, I broke all the vines off, in which the returned back into the ground leaving it as if the fight never happened. I felt myself shrinking and fell into the pitch blackness of unconsciousness.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, stay tuned for the celebration chapter, and the Sequel's first chapter.
