Oh, yes, one more thing... I kinda goofed up on the Umbreon Character. I said that his name was Shadow in the first part and Shade in the next. Oops. Sorry, so for the record Shadow is an Umbreon and Shade is a Houndoom. Sorry folks!

For the second time that day, Nicholas woke up with a groan. His eyes were greeted with nothing but darkness, except for two faint shapes. He could faintly hear a pair of young voices.

"Mr. Nicholas! You're awake!" Faye said.

Nicholas rubbed his head as his eyes faintly made out the shapes of Faye and Ghost, standing over him. Darkness enveloped them, and the confrontation with the birds from earlier still rang in his mind. "Oww..." he muttered, standing up and using his Fire Punch to make a makeshift light. "Are you kids okay?"

"Uh-huh," Ghost said. "But we're trapped in this cave!"

"Right," Nicholas said, noting the fear on the children's faces. "Well, at least the birds are gone," he said, hoping it might cheer them up. It didn't.

"Are we going to be trapped here forever?" sniffled Faye.

"Oh no!" Nicholas said, wrapping his free arm protectively around the girl. "Chris and Shade will come looking for us! You'll see!"

"But they don't know where we are," Ghost said.

Tears began to trickle down Faye's cheeks.

"No, no!" Nicholas said. "It's okay, Faye! We'll get out of this, I promise!"

"But we're trapped!" Ghost said. "This is a mess... If only one of us could float through wall..."

Faye blinked. "Wait a second... Ghost you can float through walls!"

Ghost paused, thought about and then said, "Oh, yeah, I can!"

"You could have told us before," muttered Nicholas before saying, "Alright, I'm going to stay here with Faye. You go and get Chris and Shade, okay?"

"Aye aye Mr. Nicholas!" Ghost proclaimed, before floating away through the rock slide, out to find help.

"Alright," breathed Nicholas. "Well, now we wait."

Faye sniffled again. "He'll be back right?"

Nicholas patted her head. "Sure he will. Ghost is smart and fast. He'll get back soon..." He himself was unsure. They had been lost previously, so it could take a while...

Faye looked terrified as she sat down on the cold stone floor, folding her legs to her chest and shivering. "I'm scared..." she whispered.

"So am I," admitted Nicholas, sitting next to each other. "But everyone is afraid of something."

"Even you?" Faye asked, disbelief written on her face. "But you beat those bad birds! You were super strong!"

"Just because I fought them didn't mean I wasn't scared!" Nicholas said. "What use is courage without fear, Faye? Without fear, life wouldn't be filled with hope too. It's natural for us to be scared once and a while."

"I guess your right," Faye said, not really getting it.

Nicholas rubbed her head and smiled. "You will when you get older."

A clank rang through the darkness.

Faye began to yelp, but Nicholas placed his hand on her mouth. "Quiet," he whispered. "I'll check it out."

Faye nodded slowly as Nicholas stood up. He slowly began to walk deeper into the cave, keeping his eyes peeled as he searched through the darkness for the source of the sound. He couldn't se much, except for rocks and more rocks...

Then, when he looked behind a pile of stone, a metal mallet swung out and connected with his skull.

Nicholas gave a yelp of agony as he hit the stone floor, his hand on his badly bruised head. A shadowy figure shot forward, a weapon clutched in a feathery wing, raised to strike him again.

"Psychic!"

The hammer was yanked out of the shadow's hand and flung across the room by Faye, giving Nicholas a moment to jump and pin the shadow. However, with a female grunt, the shadow flipped Nicholas over, forcing him to grab her arms roughly. The two began to wrestle, until another shout of "Psychic!" pulled them apart. Nicholas lit his Fire Punch as a torch again to get a good look at his attacker.

It was a Farfetch'd, a Wood Duck Pokemon, who stared back at him strangely. "You aren't a bird," she said.

"Thanks for noticing," Nicholas muttered, rubbing his head. "Who on Earth are you?"

The bird was silent.

Sighing, Nicholas said, "Let her down, Faye..." He paused and then added, "But don't give her hammer back just yet."

Faye nodded and the aura of mental energy vanished around the Wood Duck Pokemon. "Thankee," she said. "If you must know, my name is Trinity."

"Alright, Trinity, then would you like to explain why you're here?" asked Nicholas.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm hiding from those stupid Reaper Wings!" Trinity said, shaking her wings angrily. "Why else would I be in this stupid cave!"

"The Reaper Wings?" said Faye. "Did those mean birds try to get you too?"

Nodding, Trinity answered, "Yeah, they did. Snatched me up from the mainland and took me to this island during their last raid. They've been hiding around here ever since their little hideout on the mainland was busted up by the Exploration Guild..." She paused, and then her eyes widened. "Oh no, don't tell me they sent you two to rescue me?"

"What?" Nicholas said. "I'm not even part of any Exploration Guild!"

"We're going to the mainland to warn everyone about what happened to Jade Island!" Faye said.

Trinity wiped her forehead with her wing. "Oh, thanks goodness! I thought you sorry folks were here to save me... Uh, sorry."

"Don't mention it," Nicholas muttered. Still, it WAS better than being called a woman... "Why would the Reaper Wings want you in their group?"

Trinity rolled her eyes. "Well, after their miserable failure at the mainland, the Boss decided that all his little minions needed armor to wear so they could fight better. They think-" she paused and snickered "-Think! That's a strong word! - that I can make them their fancy little suits. But I broke free on the way to their new lair and hid in a cave that way," she said, pointing deeper into the cave. "I felt a draft from this way a while ago, so I came to see if I could get out this way, instead of over there where they're watching for me." She sighed. "All I have is my hammer... Well, all I had was my hammer."

"Oh," Faye said, dropping the hammer to the floor. "Sorry."

Trinity picked it up. "Well, it's all good then. So, any plan to escape?"

"Well, that way's blocked," Nicholas said. "And we sent our friend Ghost to get help. But we don't know if he'll make it in time."

"Well, I for one am starving!" Trinity said. "Been stuck in here for three days, you know! Just ate my own leek last night! Got any food on ya?"

Faye shook her head sadly. "Are going to starve, Mr. Nicholas?" she asked.

"Of course not!" Nicholas said. "Ghost will get back in time..." He paused. "Can you think of any other way to get out?"

"Well, the rocks are too heavy for me to lift with Psychic, and I can't Teleport us right..."

Nicholas jumped. "You can use Teleport?" he asked. "Why didn't you tell me before? You can warp us out of here!"

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" Faye said. "I... I can't Teleport right! I can't control it right... The last time I used Teleport at the mainland..." She paused and then finished, "I ended up on Jade Island..."

"Dang it!" shouted Trinity fluttering her wings.

"It's okay, Faye," Nicholas said, comforting the child. "Well, then I guess we just wait for Ghost to come back..."

"You can wait," Trinity said, walking off. "I'm going back to the other side of the tunnel! I've been here for a week and I am starving!"

As she walked off Faye shouted, "Wait! We want to come too!"

"What?" Nicholas and Trinity said in unison.

"Well, what if Ghost gets lost?" she said. "He could be in trouble too! If we go that way, we can fight off any birds that are there and then find a way back to the beach where Chris is before it's night time!"

Nicholas shook his head. "And what if we get lost?" he asked. "We could get into even more trouble and get even more lost! We should wait for Ghost to come back and help us get out."

"Well, I'm going now!" Faye said, walking off into the cave.

"Faye!" Nicholas cried. "Come back! It's not safe!"

"Oh, come on!" Trinity called back. "If you're so worried, come with us!"

"But... I..." Nicholas sighed. "Oh, forget it," he muttered, chasing after Faye and Trinity.

Waves crashed on the rocky bluff as the sun began to set. Water sloshing was the only sound escorting the small ship as it anchored in the rocky bluff. Concealed by the shadow of the setting sun, the boat docked and remained silent, as figures quickly and silently moved out.

A large Pokemon jumped to shore with a thud. Two others followed him. With claws, blades, and gritted teeth, the trio walked up the rocky beach, bright eyes searching for any sign of movement.

The leader raised his hand, stopping the other two. "You know who we're lookin' for?"

"Yeah," growled the other is a deep guttural voice.

"I remember," said the third, his voice as soft as the breeze.

"Good," the leader grunted. A savage grin split his mouth. "Team Berserker, move out!"

"Hydro Pump!" shouted Chris as he unleashed a massive burst of water from his two cannons. The blasts struck two of the Bird Pokemon and sent them to the ground, out cold.

With a cry of, "Reaper Wings, attack!" a Murkrow struck the Blastoise harshly on the back, knocking him over. While Chris began to stand, The Murkrow, along with two other Reaper Wings, dived at him with deadly accuracy, going in for the kill.

With a burst of speed, Shadow jumped on Chris' back and then leaped at the birds, shouting "Shadow Ball!" launching several orbs of darkness at the Reaper Wings. The attack struck the three birds and sent them to the sand as well.

Shadow landed down, and Chris gave him a, "Not bad," before using Ice Punch to strike a Swellow who had tried to strike him whilst he was congratulating the Umbreon.

"Thank you," Shadow said, striking a Pidgeot with Quick Attack.

The Reaper Wings were quickly losing confidence; these two Pokemon were demolishing them easily. A few began to fly off, retreating into the sky.

"Delta Formation!" a savage voice shouted.

Several Reaper Wings flew off and then began to sly in a V formation, charging Hyper Beams and releasing them on the beach, leaving a trail of smoking sand as they shot towards the two fighters.

"Got any more bright ideas?' asked Chris as the Hyper Beams grew closer.

"Just one," Shadow said. "Shoot me up there."

Chris glanced at him, surprised, but getting the idea when Shadow jumped onto his shell and put himself over his cannon. "Fire!" shouted Chris as he released a burst of water, shooting the Umbreon into the air.

When Shadow was by the birds, he shouted, "Quick Attack!" and shot foward, landing on one of the birds and hopping between them, knocking them to the ground, one after another.

Shadow landed onto the sand, and he readied for the next wave, along with Chris.

Birds began to swarm around, barely visible as the shot past faster than the eye could see.

"Jump on my back!" shouted Chris.

Shadow did and Chris retreated into his shell. He began to spin rapidly around, shooting Hydro Pumps and Shadow Balls at the hordes. Birds dropped to the sand and to the sea as they were struck by the onslaught.

Chris finally managed to stop spinning, and Shadow leaped off as the two struggled to catch their breath.

The sound of clapping hands - or rather wings - reached their ears. They turned and looked into the forest, seeing a pair of glowing orange eyes burning in the darkness. "Well done!" a voice cackled. "Well done indeed! You've beaten down my gang, and in record time!"

Chris panted and glared at the eyes. "Who the heck are you?" he growled.

"Ah, and look! You've both successfully tired yourselves out! Just perfect!" the voice taunted. "Well, it would seem as things all went according to plan!"

"What? What plan? You just hid like a little baby!"

"Coward!" Shadow said, raising his voice for perhaps the first time. "Hiding behind a wall of minions so you could take us out when we're weakened!"

"Oh, cowardice, strategy, they're the same thing, really," the voice said. "Well, no matter. Time to die, kiddies!"

The shadow shut upwards through the trees, leaving a trail of floating leaves. It shot through the air and skydived at Chris, who was too winded to dodge the speeding bird. He hit the sand with a groan as the bird landed.

Chris and Shadow faced their attacker and winced. The voice was a massive Noctowl. He was about twice as huge as a regular Noctowl, and his bright orange eyes were filled with malice.

"Now," he hissed. "What do you say we talk about this liked civilized Pokemon?" He paused, thought about it, and then said, "On second thought...!" before charging at them, talon curved and ready to tear their flesh off.

"Great idea! Let's walk through the dark dismal cave with little to no light and go to the other side hoping that there aren't any Skarmory who want to kill us! What a good idea!"

Trinity growled at the Lopunny as she walked through the tunnel. "Shut it, Rabbit."

Nicholas folded his arms. "Why should I? It isn't a good idea to walk this way. Ghost could come back and think we got kidnapped, or lost!"

"Well, if it's such a big deal then why don't you go back?" snapped Trinity, already losing her patience. "I want out of here now! I don't have the time to wait!"

"Mr. Nicholas, it's dark in there, and I don't want to stay in there when night comes," Faye said.

Nicholas sighed at the innocent girl. "Faye, it's dangerous out there."

"And it's cold and food-less in there!" retorted Trinity, spying light up ahead. "Look," she whispered. "There's the exit. Keep quiet and low, just in case those goons are around."

"Okay!" Faye whispered as she and Nicholas got on their knees and snuck forward, peering out of the cave.

A rocky valley waited outside, and they could see the forest from where they were. "Keep quiet," whispered Trinity as they snuck out of the cave into the early evening air. "All right," she muttered. "Coast's clear. Let's go now."

"Right," said Nicholas as he and Faye ran to the forest, following Trinity.

An ear piecing shriek cut their escape short. Faye gasped and just barely managed to duck as a Skarmory shot over them, narrowly raking her back with his talons.

"Get down!" Trinity shouted.

"I thought you said the coast was clear!" shouted Nicholas as a dozen Reaper Wings surrounded them.

"I thought it was!" snapped Trinity, readying her smithy-mallet. "Just get ready to fight pretty boy!"

Before Nicholas could protest to the demeaning nickname, he had to strike at a Honchcrow, who had narrowly missed him with a Shadow Ball.

Faye gave a startled cry as bursts of Psychic energy shot at the Reaper Wings from her forehead. The girl was obviously not used to mental combat, much less physical combat.

Trinity, despite her fatigue, was everywhere and no-where all at once. The bird was a blur of feathers as she dodged ducked and leaped, swinging her small mallet with unseen skill as she bashed birds on the head, or on the back, sending them to the ground in agony. Clearly, she was no slouch when it came to self-defense.

With a screech, another Skarmory charged Nicholas, who countered with a Fire Punch, knocking the Steel-Type out.

However, for every bird they knocked out, more seemed to be ready to take their place. Scratches began to cover the skin of the heroes, and weariness began to overtake them. Faye's head was beginning to ache due to the constant use of her mental powers, and Nicholas was beginning to feel his legs and arms grow tired. Even Trinity, whose iron determination was the reason they were fighting was growing weary, quicker than the others.

Then, a Wingull flew and struck Faye across the back with its beak, leaving a bleeding mark as the girl cried out in pain. Nicholas gave an angry shout as he leaped to the girl, punching and kicking through the birds that swarmed about. However, like a wave of feathers and frenzy, he was unable to pierce through the swarm, and soon fell victim to the pecking and clawing himself. Trinity didn't give up though. She swung and struck, until finally, she hit the ground with an angry grunt. Before the birds could restrain her, she was up and attacking again. "You'll-" Punch. "-Never-" Jab. "-Take me-" Swing. "-ALIVE!"

Nicholas groaned as he limped to the scared witless and wounded Faye. He gently cradled the frighted child and picked her up, limping off back to the cave as fast as possible as Trinity continued to battle the Reaper Wings with everything she had.

A Hyper Beam cut him off, sending him sprawling onto the ground and causing him to drop Faye. Before he could get up, a metal talon was wrapped around his throat. He looked up and saw a Skarmory, who was glaring at him with a black eye. "Hey, little Ms. Bunny. Remember me?"

Nicholas winced.

Faye began to crawl towards the frightened Lopunny, despite the pain in her back and her head, eager to help Nicholas in anyway she could. However, a Swellow landed next to her and began to rapidly peck the bleeding Kirlia, who struggled to get away.

A shadow fell upon the bird, who looked up startled. A green blade struck the bird, knocking it aside as if it were nothing. Faye found herself looking up at a tall, green Pokemon, with blade-like hands and a pair of wings folded on his back. He stared at her for a second, and then turned his head to the Skarmory who was trying to rip Nicholas' ears off. Like green lightning, he was at their side, slicing the bird with his claws. The Skarmory went down with a squawk.

"Are you alright?" the Scyther asked, his voice almost completely silent.

The Skarmory groaned and began to stand, until Nicholas gave him another black eye. "I am now," he said, weakly as pain continued to course through his body.

Nicholas winced as he looked up at the Scyther, who stared down at him, and then at the horde of birds that was attacking the weakening Trinity. His eyes narrowed as several birds took noticed to him and began to fly at him.

"What are you doing?" Nicholas asked, getting up. "We need to get out of here."

"That is not my mission," the Scyther replied in a soft voice as he immediately sliced at the nearest bird. "Take the child to the cave. I shall deal with this."

Nicholas began to protest, but seeing as how badly hurt Faye was, picked the girl up and took off to the cave as the birds began to swarm the Scyther, not wanting to see what would happen next.

However, before he could reach the cave, two birds cut him off. Nicholas growled as he readied his free fist. "I don't have time for this!" he hissed.

A roar cut off any other words. A massive blue creature fell from the sky and landed on the two birds, crushing them and kicking up a wave of dust. When the dust cleared, Nicholas saw a huge Garchomp raised his head and roar in triumph over the two downed birds.

A third thump distracted Nicholas. He turned to see a massive Tyranitar hit the ground, his arms folded, and a fierce expression on his face.

Birds began to swarm the newcomers. Hyper Beams began to scorch the ground.

The Tyranitar smirked. "Team Berserker! ATTACK!"
