Chapter 5: Taken

Gold P.O.V.

We all watched silently as Yellow followed that pixie and disappeared into the forest. After she was out of sight I whipped around. "All right old man, spill it." I demanded wielding my billiard cue pointing it directly at Wilton's neck in a threatening posture as if it was a sword. "Gold! Calm down!" Crystal gasped. She grabbed one of my arms and tried to pull me back. "Crys let go!" I cried struggling to get her off me. "Ugh, Red help me!" She cried looking at sempai for help. Red was leaning against a tree arms folded one leg bended resting on the tree. He was looking away and his hat casted a shadow over his face thus we were unable to see his expression. "Let go." "Eh? Demo-" "Let. Him. Go." He replied with a warning tone. Slowly she loosened her grasped on me and let go. We all looked at Red curiously, but it didn't help much cause then his bangs casted a shadow over his face making it virtually impossible to see his reaction. "Sempai, are you all right?" Asked Ruby with a concerned look. Red didn't answer. Blue sensing Red's discomfort spoke up. "Anyway Ojii-san, what's going on?"

We all turned to face him. "As you know, Yellow is a chosen one. But, I actually knew the last chosen one." We looked at him blinking. What on earth is this guy talking about? "Anyway, it's like this..."

Yellow P.O.V.

A tall old man stood in front of me. He had a white beard, mustache, and long white hair. His skin was a tanish-gray color and he wore no shirt exposing his old lean body which didn't reveal much muscle. He wore long purple pants with a red belt and had black eyes. "I am Wosh. A teacher of the Arts of Fighting. Pleased to meet you Yellow de Tokiwa Grove." I bowed. "Same as you Wosh-sensei." He turned to Mist. "Ah little one, would you please stay out of range? Wouldn't want to hit you accidentally." The pixie nodded and flew away to the top of the force field. "He turned back to me. "Yellow, you won't be physically learning how to fight. I will be teaching you swords fighting." My eyes widened."Nani?" I cried shocked. "First, since you are a beginner I will first have to find the right sword for you before we can begin. Follow me." He said turning around and walking through a door out of the dojo. I glanced a Mist and hurried after him.

"Here we are."He said coming to a stone room. It looked like we were in a stone cellar/cave. He showed me an alter. There layed 3 swords. "These are beginner swords, but they were specially made for chosen ones such as yourself, so they are not just normal." I nodded and examined them. One was made of sliver with a bronze-colored handle white carvings in it. The handle was also painted red and had red string coming out of the bottom. The second one had an iron blade thus it was the color black. It had a blue handle and ancient letters were engraved on the sword. The last one was made of steel. It had a yellow handle with beautiful paintings of little flowers on it, it also had a lined criss-crossed pattern in a light yellow as if it were ribbon. "Choose wisely."

"Ummm..." The iron one looked wicked, the steel one looked beautiful, and the sliver one looked fancy. "Uh, do they do anything special?" His brows furrowed. "In a way I guess you can say that. But actually, it is the sword that chooses it's wielder." I blinked. "Okay..." I ran my hand across each one of them. But I was somehow drawn towards the first one. "I'll take this one." I said pointing at the silver blade. He nodded and handed it me. "Now the training begins." He motioned me through a door and we were once again in the dojo. Mist eyed my sword. "So you took the one with the sliver blade. Funny, I really thought you'd take the steel blade one, oh well."

We stood in the middle of the dojo. "Let us begin." We bowed to each other and it started. So, he wields staffs I observed as he held unto the long rod. "First, we'll start with the Target Attack. It's the most basic move. This move is for non-moving foes. So don't use it on moving enemies. Try it on me, but be warned. This is the only move in which I will not move." "But, what if you get hurt?" "Don't worry, just concentrate." I nodded. "No first lock onto your opponent and then swing at them." "H-hai."

I closed my eyes and concentrated and felt his presence. My eyes and snapped open. "Yah!" I cried as I ran at him and swung my sword at him. He easily blocked it. "Nice, you locked unto me. Now try it 4 more times." And that's what I did. On the last try he wasn't able to block it. "Oh! I'm-" "Great!" He laughed rubbing his sore leg. "I'm fine Yellow, don't worry. But when the time comes you cannot hold back. You must not worry about your enemie's safety and only about your own survival. You must learn to be merciless." I gaped. "Demo..." "Yellow," he said sternly. "You must not be afraid to kill and fight this evil. I know you have a tender heart but these creatures are evil. Just remember, 'Kill only for the good, not for the evil.' That will help you be strong." I swallowed and nodded. If I have to, I'm going to... I thought determinedly. "Now one more time." He said steadying himself.

...

"So, that's it." Said Green. Wilton had just finished explaining the situation. "So...your saying Yellow must battle this evil all alone? Is that what your telling me?" They all turned to look at Red. There was anger in his eyes. "She won't be alone Red, she has M-" "That's not what I mean!" He snapped. Causing Ruby to wince. "Red..." Blue began but he turned away. "Whatever, I'm leaving." He said walking away in the other direction. "Red!" Sapphire called. But he didn't stop. Soon, he was gone. "Ah, I'm gonna go talk to him." Blue said as she hurriedly ran after him. Things went quiet. Then-"I'm gonna go get her!" Gold practically yelled startling the rest of them.

Gold P.O.V.

I started at the forest but Green stood in front of me blocking my path. "You're not going anywhere." Green replied in a matter-of-fact voice. "Tsk. Get out of my way Green." I said. Moving around him but then Crystal latched unto his arm."Crys g-" "Why do you want to go get her?" She cried. I looked at her shocked. There was a hurt look in her eyes. "You can't fiddle with her destiny, just let her go!" "Crystal..." I said looking at her. "She's right you know." Said Sliver. I felt my blood boil. I shoved her off my and marched straight up to him. "Yeah? And why do you say that?" He growled getting straight in his face. He didn't even flinch.

"Gold, she is going to leave whether you like it or can't stop her." "At least I can try!" I snapped. "Gold, that won't help..." Ruby started. "I turned to him. "You stay out!" He cringed. It was obviously not his day, first getting yelled at by Red then me. "Don't yell at him!" Sapphire defended. I glared at her and turned back to Sliver. "What the hell Sliver! She's my cousin for crying out loud!" I said with a raised voice. "Gold," I turned to look at Uncle. "Gold you must understand-" "Shut up old man!" I cut him off and ran off in another direction.

End P.O.V.

"Gold!" Crystal cried. She took off running after him. They all stood there silently. "He didn't mean it." Ruby spoke first as an apology to Wilton but he just shook his head. "That's not it, even though he was angry he showed his anger in public and relieved some of it. It's Red I'm worried about. He didn't show much emotion. Something's wrong..."

...

"Very good." He said. We had just finished doing the exercise. So far I had learned the Target Attack, Vertical Slice, Horizontal Slice, and Thrust. The Thrust was a very hard one or me, but I had manged to do it. "Now we'll move unto the Side Slash. This is very useful, you can slash several things at once." I nodded. "First you hold the sword to your side, and swing it around with much force. Try to make a slashing motion with the sword." I did as told and it came to me easily. "Good, now again." After a few more tries I then learned the Spin Attack. At first I kept on getting dizzy, but I got it under control. Then we moved unto the Jump Attack. "This move is very useful, it does a lot of damage." We then came to the last lesson. "I will now show you the Parry Attack. For this move, you must have already managed Thrust." Oh dear... "This move preforms a defensive strike, it allows you to get behind your opponent and deal major damage." I nodded and preformed the move. I gasped, then I had jumped up behind him my sword had glowed, how was that possible? Wosh noticed my confused look and explained. "When using the Parry Attack, you must be in sync with your sword. This proves that sword finds you worthy in being able to work with it. But the glow only last's during that move, after it is done it won't glow anymore until the next time the move is used. Now again." I did it a few more times and I was done.

"Not bad Yellow." He said as I rested. I grinned. "Thanks." I noticed something hanging on the wall. "What is that?" "Ah, that. It is a Horsemen's Belt. One you collect 10 of those I shall teach you a new move, but for right now no. The moves I've just thought you are the most basic and the most esstianl moves you'll need to survive as a beginner." Mist flew down next to me. "Nice job Yellow, you did great!" I smiled. "Thanks." I got up. "Sayounara sensei, ariguto gozaimasu." I bowed and walked away. "Dewa mata Wosh-san!" Mist called before following me.

As we exited the dojo Mist repeated the chant. "Shrai de como su heh ary ye sumi coo!" The force field and the area glowed and shrunk away. It went into the bush and soon the magic presence was gone. "Mist, what does that chant mean?" She looked at me. "It doesn't mean anything in particular, but it does mean 'Secret'." I blinked. "What?" "Never mind, we better get back. Got your sword?" I nodded and we were off.

...

Red P.O.V.

As walked into the woods I burst into a sprint. I ran as fast as I could for a long time and finally stopped at a small stream leading into a creek. I sat on a long and stared into the water. There were no Pokémon in it. Yellow going away? That just wasn't possible. I sighed. That dream...is still just so strange... It had been bugging me ever since.

End P.O.V.

Blue P.O.V.

"Damn that Red, where the hell is he?" I muttered. I had been following Red, but I had gotten stuck in the brush. There were leaves and twigs sticking in my hair, and some vines were caught around my legs. I cursed under my breath. Of all places, why did he have to run into the woods? I fought my way through into a small clearing where a stream flowed. I sighed in relief and began picking the leaves and twigs off me.

...

Finally... I thought as I got up. It had been 15 whole minutes before I was up again. "Where the hell could he be?" I thought racking my brain for an answer. All of a sudden I caught a flash of red in the distance. I grinned. Got'cha

End P.O.V.

...

Crystal P.O.V.

"Gold slow down!" I yelled. I could see him ahead of me running at a super fast pace. If I had not been experienced with my legs I would've lost him by now. "Gold, listen to me!" I yelled once more. But then I saw him take out a Pokéball. My eyes widened as he called out Mantaro and flew across the air. I stopped. This called for drastic measures. I called out Xatee. "Xatee, follow them!" I said. Xatee picked me up by my shoulders, and together we flew through the air after Gold and Mantaro.

...

We flew up a mountain and he finally stopped at a ledge. He returned Mantaro and ran into a cave. I groaned. As Xatee set me down I returned her and went in after him. He kept running and jumping criss-crossing here and there it was hard to keep up with him. Finally he disappeared behind a boulder. I followed and found a stream behind it. Great, so now he swam I thought rolling my eyes. I called out Mega and as he swam through the water I rood on top of him. Finally, I see light ahead. So he had exited the cave We came into a rich beautiful valley. I gasped. There was flowers everywhere! It was paradise. Gold sat on a stone with his back turned to me. He seemed to be arguing in his head. I returned Mega and crept up behind him.

"Gold." He jumped. "C-crystal?" I cried. I frowned. "You didn't really think you could loose me that easily now did you?" He closed his mouth and looked away. My gaze softened. "Gold," I said sitting in the grass next to him. "Hn." He replied. I sighed shaking my head. "If you don't want Yellow to go...spend as much time as possible with her as you can. Even if you can't stop here from going, at least try to be by her side. Please try to support her." I said plucking a flower and playing with the petals. He looked at me for a long time but I didn't notice. "Thanks Crys." I looked up to see him smiling at me. I blushed. "W-what?" "Oh nothing." He teased turning back. I flushed. "I hate you..." I mumbled. He simply chuckled and went back to thinking. I grumbled and we sat there...with each other.

End P.O.V.

Red P.O.V.

"Hey Red." I looked up startled. There stood Blue leaning against a tree. "Oh, it's just you." I said turning back to looking at the creek. She frowned. "Are you upset about Yellow?" She asked sitting next to me. I nodded my head. She sighed. "Figures." We were quiet again. "You know," She began. I looked at her, she was gazing at the sky. "It must be hard on Yellow." I blinked. "It must be hard having to carry the burden of saving the world on your back...you know what I mean?" I nodded without a word. She turned back to the sky. "The least we can do is be there for her, after all. We are her closest friends. Not even Gold is that close to her even though they're family. She holds us dearer to her than the others." I kept silent. She turned to look at me. "Don't you agree?" I looked at her and smiled. She grinned in response. And we turned back to watching the sky...together.

End P.O.V.

Yellow P.O.V.

Me and Mist hike through the forest into the clearing. There was Uncle, Green, Ruby, Sapphire, and Sliver. They all looked anxious. "What's going on?" I called. They looked up. "Yellow!" Sapphire cried running at me and throwing her arms around me. I smiled. "Hey Sapph." I then frowned. "Where's Gold, Crystal, Red, and Blue?" They looked at each other. "They went...to cool off." I blinked. "Huh?" All of a sudden Uncle's gaze snapped upwards. Seeing this Mist turned to me. "Quick! Use your telescope!" Confused I followed her directions and gasped. There in the distance, was a gigantic fox running on air. It was black and had 8 tails and had yellow eyes. It had armor on his face and metal rings on it's legs. It looked...evil. "It's Foxie." Mist said darkly. I zoomed in and saw a boy in it's clutches. But then, a cannon ball appeared and knocked the fox senseless causing it to drop the boy somewhere in the forest.

"Mist, what it that-" "That telescope, enable you to see into the Magical world as well as the Pokémon world." I looked up to see Uncle peering at me wearily. "You mean...you can see that too?" He nodded. "When I was younger, I actually help Aquatheina when she was a child, thus I was granted with the sight to be able to see the Magical world whenever I pleased. So I could switch from vision to vision." I blinked. "So...what I just saw, it happened in the Magical world, not here?" He nodded.

"YELLOW! I sense something is gonna happen!" Mist cried. The rest gathered around. "What do you mean?" Cried Sapphire. I gulped. "Something not good, I can tell you that."

End P.O.V.

...

"Wait a minute." Said Red as he squinted. In the distance, he could see a figure in the sky. "What?" "You see that over there?" Blue looked and her eyes widened. "What do you think it is?" "I have no idea. But it's coming closer." Said Red getting up. Blue shook her head. "But it's headed for that mountain over there...I hope nothing's wrong."

...

"Hey, what is that?" Gold snapped out of his thinking to see Crystal pointing at something in the distance. He frowned. "Probably some Pokémon." He replied. But Crystal shook her head. "I don't think it is, but if it is, it's one I've never seen before." He blinked. Crystal was an expert on Pokémon, if she didn't think it was one then that was a problem. "Uh, oh." Said Crystal alarmed. I looked at her. "What is it?" "It looks like...it's coming towards us!" She cried. Sure enough she as right. "What the heck is that?" Yelled Gold. A fox-like creature appeared and in a flash it charged at them. "AHHHH!" They both screamed.

They jumped up and ran for it. But then Crystal slipped and fell. Gold spun around. "Crystal!" He yelled. He back towards her but then the fox-like creature appeared behind him and snatched him up in it's jaws and jumped off the mountain into the air and ran in the air away. "HELP MEEEE!" He cried defenseless in the fox's mouth. "GOLD!" Crystal cried. She got up and ran at him not paying attention to where she was going. But then she realized she had ran off the ledge and was plummeting to her death. She grabbed the cliff side and managed to catch herself. She watched helplessly as the fox disappeared out of sight. There was no hope of following now.

...

"What the...isn't that...?" Red stood up and stared into the sky. The creature had came closer now, and in it's mouth was... "Gold?" Cried Blue jumping up. But the fox swiftly ran across the air and vanished. They stared there for a moment before dashing. Something was terribly wrong.

...

Yellow felt a sharp pang in her heart and she froze. "What's wrong?" Asked Sliver. She clutched her heart. "Something...something's happened to Gold!" At that moment Red and Blue burst out of the forest panting. "Gold...fox...mouth...gone...vanished..." She said panting. That was enough to send Yellow panicking. "NANI? You mean it took Gold?" "What about Crystal?" Said Green alarmed. "She was with him." At that moment Crystal came flying with Xatee. As she landed she poured out the entire story. "-!IalmostfelloffthecliffbutI'mokaynow!We'vegottosaveGold!" She spat all in one breath. It took a few moments to decipher the words.

Yellow P.O.V.

I gasped. "So, the tragic thing would happen to Gold..." I said quietly. "Yellow," said Mist with much authority in her voice. "Hai?" "We've got to go NOW. Before something bad happens to that brat." I nodded. "Wait." I turned around. "We're coming with you." The Pokédex holders said stepping up. My eyes widened. "Demo-" "We're all in this together Yellow." Sapphire said cutting me off. "No matter how annoying he is, he's till a good friend. And I'm coming with you." Said Sliver. "No matter how much of an idiot he is, he didn't deserve this. I coming as well." Said Green. "Count me in!" Said Ruby. "Yellow, I wouldn't miss for the world a chance like this to go to the Magic world. Especially with you." Blue said. "And your not gonna leave me out!" Said Red. "We're coming with you whether you like it or not Yellow." Crystal finished. "Minna-san..." I looked at Uncle for help but he simply looked at Mist. "Mist, it's your call." He said expectantly.

We all turned to look at her. She had an irritated look. "I never thought you all would be this much trouble." She sighed. "Traveling with Yellow is fine, but with eight other people? Now that's a nightmare." Blue frowned. "We won't burden you we promise!" She cried putting on the puppydog eyes. Mist sighed in defeat. "Very well, I can see you all have gallant hearts. But, when we travel through the portal, if it doesn't accept you and allow you to travel to the Magic world don't complain." We nodded in agreement. "All right then, let's go!" She spreaded pixie dust around us and casted the magic and winds swirled around us. Just like at her home I thought remembering the way I had exited the tree from the shell. As our bodies faded I turned to Uncle. "I'll come back a hero and with Gold, I promise!" I yelled. He smiled and waved. "Good luck! I'll be waiting for you!"

And that's when I left the Pokémon world for the very first time. And onward, to the Magic world.
