Chapter 17: The Mysterious Warrior
The moon shone brightly as the stars twinkled. The entire island was asleep. Outside the waves washed upon the shores in a slow rhythmic pace. As a gentle wind blew the palm trees making them sway. It was a very relaxing night. The canyons and mountains were no longer disturbed since the volcano had been put to sleep and the cliffs didn't seem as dangerous anymore. The store clerk as usual was still asleep...what's up with that? Anyway the clouds rolled slowly across the peaceful blue sky, it was nice and cool unlike the warm day. Inside the cavern it was dark as all the Larks had retired to their dorms. In the few guest rooms slept Crystal, Yellow, and Mist. Even in sleep Yellow slept clutching her sword as did Crystal who had the whip attached to her belt ready to whip out in an instant. Mist was in her bottle sleeping as the bottle had been placed on a desk in Yellow's room where she could see it. Outside on the shore there rested a canoe held in place magically. In it was a young sparrowman who surprisingly was up on this peaceful night.
He was laying down on one of the seats, he didn't have a pillow but he didn't mind. his arms were placed in a folding position underneath his head acting like a pillow. He stared up at the sky with an emotionless expression. He had convinced Yellow and everyone else that he was fine sleeping outside. He didn't mind it at all and had used looking after the canoe as an excuse. Reluctantly they had agreed and so here he was.
Kitt stared up at the sky and sighed. The Dark Lord is proceeding faster than I thought...already he had a boss guarding the jewel. It's a good thing we got it before he did but, even though we turned the dungeon back that's doesn't mean it didn't affect the Pokémon world. Pretty soon Dialouga, Palkia, Giratina and Arceus are gonna feel the changes as well. Soon after than the legendaries are gonna sense the world changing and then the common Pokémon are gonna panic and send the humans into a frenzy. Once that happens the Distorted Dimension will collapse and then without it the Pokémon world will start to end. It would be impossible to stop...and one by one the different worlds will end. Dialouga will become distressed as the past and future are corrupted since the present is now in jeopardy. Palkia might try to save us by bringing the Earth to a different universe but try as he might all galaxies are connected. Black holes and different dimensions would be destroyed as darkness would overtake it. Then it would reach to other universes, time and space would falter, antimatter would be destroyed, even the Great One could stand no chance...the only hope would be light but even the Dark Lord knows how to defeat a god. This is bad...
Kitt stared up at the sky concentrating on the moon. "It's impossible to rid the world of darkness cause' light and dark co-exist just like a ying-yang symbol. One cannot exist without the other...shadow was born from the light. You cannot find life without having death first. If these things were to disappear, nothing would exist." These words rang in Kitts ears. A very important person had told him these words once. He had been in grave danger and had left before he could tell Kitt further. The sparrowman laughed humorlessly. Of course he didn't have time to say anything, the guy had a lot of burden on his shoulders. Plus, the Dark Lord was after him. It was a miracle he hadn't been captured yet. Kitt stared at the moon remembering what a friend had told him once. "The moon is a mysterious thing indeed. It can alter ones path and have the answers to many secrets. The moon is very powerful and a holy asset, it can be used to preform dark magick and used for the benefit for others. Always remember, that it watches you." It watches me huh? He thought bitterly. Well...I just hope you're alright dear friend.
The Magic world and Pokémon world are very close. This is because they are in the same galaxy, there are other universes in different times and spaces that contain a world of their own. Only a few have this knowledge and even fewer believe it. For every geography in the Magic world it mirrors the Pokémon world. Kitt just happened to know that this island was connected to Fiore. Only a 25% of Fiore should be affected, but as low as the number sounds its a big deal. Even though Wingheat Island is cured now it's not the same for Fiore. A part of the darkness has slipped into the Pokémon world and it won't disappear easily. So even if Wingheat Island is safe Fiore is still in trouble. Other places are connected to Fiore as are the other regions. With Yellow they were only going to explore about 1/4 of the Magical world unless they were delayed or thrown into a wacky situation. Other Pokémon regions were connected to different geographies in the Magical world as well. Right now in the Pokémon world the part of Fiore that's connected should have changes in weather and seasons. The Pokémon should be acting up as well. That's just face one. Yellow and Crystal don't know about this and it's better it stays that way. Kitt reasoned. That would just send them panicking and make them do rash decisions...besides, Yellow already has enough burden on her shoulders knowing 3 different futures of the world is on her shoulders but to tell her the whole truth that the everyone's life was in her hand...well, to tell you the truth he would've killed himself out of stress to escape the world. Many people are oblivious to the drastic changes but luckily the creatures of the different worlds aren't that stupid.
But on second thought...doesn't the Dark Lord know that there's more scarier evil than him out there? The sparrowman sighed shaking his head smiling. Well, I guess he just doesn't want to admit it...if all the other evil out there knew what he was doing they would surely gang up and over throw him, but he is being cautious as to not alert any one else...oh well, the other universes have their own evil to fight and ward off, it would be a disgrace to us knowing we can't fiend for ourselves. Kitt chuckled at that. "Yes, it would be very embarrassing." Finally a little past midnight sleep over-took the magical creature. It was about time he slept anyway, he'd worry about this later. And with that he drifted off to a dreamless slumber.
...
The sun shone brightly as it was a new day. Crystal had finished packing and right now the trio was marching along the pathway leading to the other side of the island. Kitt had informed them that he would ride off in the canoe and meet them on the other side by water. They had agreed seeing no problem in that. Mist was flying near Yellow's ear as Crystal was on her left. After awakening her Animorph DNA it had took a toll on her, she had to master her ice powers fast if she was gonna be any use to the group.
Crystal sighed feeling refreshed. "I can't wait to explore the rest of this world Yellow!" Crystal said excitedly.
The blonde simply grinned. "Neither can I!"
As they followed the rocky path through the mountains they smelt salty sea water all around. They kicked up sand and pebbles as the walked. It was relaxing. As they walked on they some some bushes up ahead which the path went through. After crossing the little wood area they would be on the under side, only a mile and a half to go. Mist soon became aware of a fourth presence. She felt they were being followed. She glanced around suspiciously finding nothing out of the ordinary. Must be my imagination As the neared the bushes all of a sudden Kunai flew at them. Gasps were heard as some nearly missed vital points of their body. They abruptly stopped. They looked around when suddenly Crys spotted a figure standing on a branch growing out of the cliff-side. A shadow was casted over the figure's face so they weren't able to see the attackers face. But it was clear it was a woman.
She had long black hair and wore a black dress that went down to her knees. She also wore stockings underneath. She wore red shoes and had a distinct blood red bow tie. The dress's collar and top part near the sleeves were white whereas everything else was black. She looked about 16 years old. The mysterious girl glared down at the two girl intimidatingly. Mist glared back while Crystal frowned. What's going on? Suddenly she jumped down from the branch landing in a cool crouching position in front of them. She stood up and her hair covered her facial expression.
"Hand over the jewel." She said in a cold serious voice. The wind blew lightly blowing some hair away revealing her blood red eyes.
Yellow took a step back. "Why?" She asked surprised.
"Isn't that obvious? I want it." The girl replied shortly.
Crystal gritted her teeth. "And if we refuse?"
The girl smirked. "Then I'll take it by force."
Suddenly she charged at then she quick feet kicking up dust as she ran. Their eyes widened at the girl's speed. Just as she reached them the three split up. At impact there was a distinct clash of metal. Yellow had pulled out her sword in a nick of time. The other girl had drawn out two sai's and right now the two weapons were clashing against one another.
The mysterious girl's smile widened. "A swordswoman eh? 'Haven't met one in a while."
The two jumped back simultaneously. Both holding their weapons in a battle position. Suddenly there was a crack sound in the air. The raven-haired girl jumped back just in time before a whip smacked her. She looked to her left seeing the blue-head wielding a whip.
Crystal growled. "You're gonna have to defeat both of us to get the gem."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." The girl said lazily. And that's when the real fight began.
"ARGH!" Yellow cried as the ran towards the girl. She swung her sword at her trying all sorts of moves but she simply blocked using her sai's to counter.
The girl smirked at Yellow's frustration. "What's wrong? Don't you know that sai's were made in order to combat swords? That's their sole purpose."
The blonde's eyes widened. Using her surprise the raven-haired girl knocked her back just as Crystal came running in. She used her whip making it fly in different directions but the girl easily avoided each attack.
"What are you newbies?" She snickered.
"So what of they are!" Cried a voice suddenly vines grew under her. The raven-hair girl was surprised but she quickly recovered slicing at the plants jumping up and away. She spotted the pixie using it's magic a few yards away far from where Crys and Yellow were. In one swift movement she threw a kunai at the pixie. Mist's eyes widened as she wasn't able the doge.
"MIST!" Yellow and Crys cried simultaneously. The knife met it's mark as the pixie fell and crumbled unto the ground unconscious. The kunai had pierced her and gone through. She laid there helplessly bleeding.
"Such a weak thing to be taken out so easily." The girl snorted.
She turned back to the blue-head and blonde. "I suggest you hand over the gem now before you end up like your friend over there."
Shadows covered both their faces. They gripped the weapons tightly. "NEVER!" They cried in unison and simultaneously attacked her.
Taken back by their outburst the girl could only dodge and block as they let out a barrage of attacks. Yellow tried multiple stabbing attacks and then switched to slices. The raven-hair girl dodged them and blocked the sword causing her to stumbled back. Seeing this wouldn't work. Yellow then tried a jump attack only to be stopped by the sai crossing in a defensive position. But before the girl could anticipate her next move Yellow in mid-air, did a spin attack sending the girl stumbling back a few feet. Then Crystal came in whipping the whip around in random places. The raven-haired girl simply stepped in places the whip didn't touch while using the sai's to stop the incoming whips. It looked like she was doing a dance, every time she moved she knew just where to go. The whip just never hit her. She then did a aerial-spinning back flip and landed a good 20 meters away. Crystal gritted her teeth. Yellow did better doing close combat and it looked like that was exactly what Crys would have to do.
"AHH!" She yelled as she charged at the girl. She tried punches but the girl dodged still doing her dance.
Suddenly realization dawned her Crystal. Whenever she danced she always landed where the whip wouldn't hit...that was because she was watching the attacker not the whip! Sure enough the raven-haired girl was eying her for her next move. The blue-head smiled. In that case, I won't let you know where it'll hit She then threw a punch. Reflectively the girl moved her head to dodge it but at the same moment Crystal threw a kick right after the punch. Unable to dodge two attacks right after the other Crystal's foot collided with her stomach. The girl winced as she was sent flying and smacked into the cliff due to the force. Never miss with Crystal's kicks people, and that's a rule. Struggling the girl quickly tried to regroup but then Yellow came in doing a thrust knocking the girl off her balance. As she fell she suddenly dug into her pocket and threw something out. Both girl's eye widened. No, it can't be... But it was.
A red light appeared as a creature formed out of the light. Out came a fox-like creature covered in light-blue fur. The fur is actually frozen into sharp quills, but one can't really tell by just looking. The creature appeared to have long feminine hair. The hair was divided in two going down below the shoulders and it also appeared to have bangs. The hair was a tealish-aquamarine color. In some ways its hair resembled a sherpa cap. Its ears, two spots on its back, tail end and cap-endings (ends of the long hair) are all diamond-shaped. Then diamond shaped spots including the patches on it's feet were all teal colored. The creature had navy blue eyes that sparkled. It was the Fresh Snow Pokémon Glaceon. Both girl's gasped. A Pokémon? Impossible! But that could only mean...this girl was also a trainer.
Taking advantage of their shock the girl cried out: "Ice Shard!" The Pokémon opened it's mouth and shards of ice came out directed at the two girls.
Crystal quickly using her whip blocked the ice shards and whacked them away from her body. Yellow simply pulled out her shield blocking the attack. The raven-haired girl slowly got up. She winced a little but smiled.
"Nice kick blue-head." She mocked.
"Icy Wind!" The Pokémon sent sparkling blue snow combined with a strong winds their way. It froze part of Yellow's shield. Crystal turned her head and gasped when she saw the wind make ice grow around the unprotected pixie.
"Mist!" she cried.
Before she could rush over 7 kunai were thrown at her. 2 missed while 5 met it's mark. 2 stuck unto her arm while the other 3 were stuck unto her leg. Crystal cringed in pain as blood spots formed around the areas.
"Crystal!" Yellow gasped.
She ran at the girl swinging her sword but the Pokémon jumped in front of her blocking her path. Yellow abruptly stopped. It was one thing to hurt monsters, but Pokémon? There was no way she was gonna attack it. Seeing the girl pause the raven-haired girl called out.
"Bite!" The Pokémon lunged at her pinning her to the ground, the feline then sank it's teeth into Yellow's neck.
"Ack!" Yellow cried as blood was drown out. At the same time the Pokémon unsheathed its claws and started slashing and clawing at Yellow's rib cage shredding the clothes making it stain with blood. The olive-eyed girl let out a cry of anguish.
"Yellow!" Crystal cried.
She knew her sempai would never attack Pokémon so she would have to take care of this. Using her whip she lashed the Glaceon sending it flying off Yellow and making it fall to the ground rolling around ruffly like a tumble weed. A red line appeared across the Glaceon's body. Crystal had struck it hard. It whipped around and hissed at Crystal. Suddenly it let loose an Ice Beam. Wide eyed Crystal started to run but the beam caught up with her and froze her in place. Since she was in a not-balanced stance the now frozen Crystal fell over with a loud thud. The mysterious girl glanced at the blue-head before walking over to the dying Yellow.
"Good girl Glaceon." She cooed as she petted the Fresh Snow Pokémon.
"Glace." The Pokémon replied smiling.
Yellow slowly tried to sit up but then:
"Bite!" The creature once again pounced on her pinning her to the ground. Using her teeth Glaceon yanked the sword out of Yellow's grasp and tossed it away. Using her tail she flicked the shield out of Yellow's other hand making it fly away. She was utterly defenseless now. The ice Pokémon's jaws then clamped down on Yellow's neck. The blonde choked due to lack of oxygen. More blood poured out of the blonde's neck than before. Yellow's eyes were in half slits now, they were no longer bright but now darkened. The crimson-eyed girl stared at the blonde.
"Hmmm...should I put you out of your misery right now or should I give you a slow painful death?" The raven-haired girl thought for a moment before frowning.
"I suppose I should, after all I don't want Glaceon's teeth to be permanently stained with blood." With that the girl raised a sai over Yellow's heart and then brought it down. As the sai plunge through the flesh cracking sounds were heard. The girl stopped and looked over at Crystal. She had already plunged the sai in halfway. To her surprise the ice around Crystal was cracking.
Crystal P.O.V.
A red line appeared across the Glaceon's body. Crystal had struck it hard. It whipped around and hissed at Crystal. Suddenly it let loose an Ice Beam. Wide eyed Crystal started to run but the beam caught up with her and froze her in place. Since she was in a not-balanced stance the now frozen Crystal fell over with a loud thud.
Since Crystal was now frozen her consciousness was trapped inside her mind. In the cold your body shuts down to preserve heat to the vital organs to keep you alive as long as possible. This is where frost bite comes from. Right now trapped in her mind everything was pitch black. She could only see herself.
"HELLO! Yellow? Mist? Anybody!" Crystal walked around the abyss finding no one. She was all alone. She stopped to think. "Where am I?" Suddenly she remembered being frozen by Glaceon's Ice Beam. "Oh that's right..." She looked around. "But, how do I get out of here!" Her voice echoed everywhere. The blue-head sighed and sat down. "Now what?" She closed her eyes and began to think.
Wait a minute, I'm and Animorph! My powers practically are ice and snow! Hmm...if I can control ice maybe I can control the ice that's trapping me as well? The more she thought about it the more it seemed realistic. Okay, I'll give it a try. She stood up and folded her hands into a praying position. "Celebi please here me! Goddess of art thou divine, please help me reawaken my powers! Please I need my Animorph side again!" Suddenly the black abyss began to glow blue. Crystal opened her eyes surprised but relaxed as the familiar light whirled around her. The entire pitch black abyss now glowed blue. Closing her eyes, Crystal let the brilliant blue light engulf her.
End P.O.V.
The ice surrounding Crystal ultimately shattered. Slowly the girl rose up. Her bangs covered her eyes. The mysterious girl watched intrigued. How had she broken the ice? Crystal brought her head up to give an intimidating glare looking straight into the raven-haired girl's eyes. Her eyes were no longer crystal blue, instead they were now a dark navy blue color. Suddenly icicles formed on her whip coating it with deadly spikes. Crystal had let her Animorph side take over. "You dare hurt Yellow." She said icily. The crimson eyed girl didn't react and simply stood there watching the blue-head. Suddenly she lashed out using her whip causing the air to make a cracking sound. Having no choose both Pokémon and trainer jumped out of the way. In doing so the mysterious girl drew out the now blood stained sai.
"C-rystal?" Yellow asked hoarsely. Her voice box had been affected as well when the Glaceon had suffocated her. She was barely conscious.
Crystal's eyes narrowed. Suddenly icy winds kicked in. They were razor sharp and at the same time snow started falling whirling around in the snow. Soon the place was a winter wonderland since everything was coated with snow. It was a Blizzard attack. The girl covered her eyes as Yellow simply laid there limply. She and Mist were now in the same state, dying. Frowning, the girl threw some shuriken at the blue-head and told Glaceon to use Double Team followed by Shadow Ball. Crystal simply stood there as the attacks came towards her. If Crystal was not letting her senses rule her she would've ran for her life, but in her Animoprh state she was calm as snow.
As soon as they came within contact using her ice-covered whip she knocked the shuriken away and then by simply flicking a finger all the shadow balls froze encased in ice mid-air. Then using her ice-covered whip she lashed the frozen balls. Some were sent flying back towards the sender while others exploded on contact. The balls that exploded became dark purple smoke before evaporating. The balls that were sent flying back didn't do much damage cause' the girl simply dodged or struck the balls with her sais making it explode into harmless smoke. Her Glaceon did the same thing dodging but then using Iron Tail on the shadow balls she couldn't avoid. However Glaceon's doubles couldn't withstand the attack so the duplicates disappeared. Crystal's eyes narrowed and then all of a sudden hail started falling to add to the blizzard. The girl gritted her teeth as she shivered a little. Glaceon on the other hand was just fine. The crimson-eyed girl growled as the hail and sharp winds came down harder. The snow was practically biting at the exposed flesh. Glaceon was unaffected and seemed to be awaiting her mistress' orders. So little blue-head is an ice wielder eh? Well we'll just see about that.
Smirking suddenly the raven-haired girl suddenly said: "Snow Veil!"
Crystal's eyes widened. Snow Veil? She had never heard of that move before. The Glaceon started running towards Crystal. As the Glaceon ran the Pokémon changed it's body heat. It froze the atmosphere around it to make a diamond-dust flurry. It swirled around the Pokémon creating a sparkling transparent veil around the Pokémon. The veil glittered and twinkled as the falling snow and hail added to its beauty.
Crystal felt herself stare mesmerized. Ruby and Platinum would love to see this move. Distracted, Crystal couldn't stop the Glaceon as it tackled Crystal full force. On impact a whirl of snow and ice struck Crystal and she was knocked down unto the floor. As soon as the move was done the hail and blizzard stopped. Glaceon jumped off Crystal and retreated to her post beside her mistress. Groaning Crystal slowly got up rubbing her back wincing.
"Owww, what hit me?" She muttered.
Her eyes were back to normal. She was no longer in Animorph state. Suddenly 5 kunai and shuriken flew at her. Startled Crystal could only roll out of the way just in a nick of time. She turned around to see the mysterious girl glaring at her.
"Why must you make this so hard?" She muttered.
She tossed out a Pokéball and out came a fox-like Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious golden-white fur, as well as having nine tails, each of which is tipped with orange. It had a fluffy crest atop their heads and a similar ruff around their necks. It also had gleaming red eyes similar to her trainers'. It was the Fox Pokémon Ninetales.
"Flamethrower." The girl said nonchalantly.
Crystal quickly got up and jumped away keeping her eyes glued on he opponent. You're not the only Pokémon trainer around here Crystal thought smiling.
Taking out 2 Pokéballs behind her back she tossed them out. Out came sauropod-like Pokémon and a theropod-like Pokémon. The theropod-like Pokémon was small and had brown fur. It wore a skull helmet on its head hiding its true face from view. It had a plump body with a paler-colored underbelly, with strong, clawed limbs to carry its bone as a weapon around wherever it goes. It has a single, nailed toe on each foot, with two spikes on its back. It also had a small tail and had pitch black eyes. It was the Lonely Pokémon Cubone. The other Pokémon had lime green skin. It had two yellow stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped with its own anther. It had three toes on each of its four feet and has large pink flower, with a yellow central pattern and white tips growing around it's neck like a mane. It also had honey golden eyes. It was the Herb Pokémon Meganium. The mysterious girl's eyes widened in shock. What the-? She also has Pokémon? The raven-haired girl thought surprised. Crystal bit her lip. She had to end this quickly, who knew how many Pokémon that girl had? Mega was weak against both of her Pokémon and that Glaceon was gonna be trouble for Karapyon. She had to end this fast.
"Mega heal Yellow and Mist! Karapyon attack using Bonemerang!" Crystal cried.
Mega trotted over to Mist and breathed on her. Her sweet breath made the pixie stir. "Hmm?" The pixie mumbled rubbing her eye as if she had just woken up from sleep.
The Pokémon let the fragrance from her flower surround Mist. She had sued Sweet Scent. In a few moments the life threatening wound disappeared. Mist gaped and then hugged the Pokémon. "ARIGATO!" She cried. The Pokémon giggled before trotting towards Yellow. Mist on the other hand went to retrieve her sword and shield.
The Lonely Pokémon threw it's bone weapon at the two Pokémon. It whirled around in the air. The two foes tried to run away from it but it kept chasing the Pokémon. Finally it swivelled and managed to strike Glaceon hard on the head making the poor Pokémon see stars. The bone then chased after Ninetales and smacked into it full charge in the rib cage. The fire-type Pokémon let out a howl as the bone returned back to Karapyon who expertly caught it.
"Ice Beam! Fire Spin!" The girl commanded.
Suddenly she jumped into the air and fell towards Crystal doing a high jump kick. Crystal side-stepped and as the girl landed next to her Crystal cracked her whip doing a direct hit. The mysterious girl ignored the pain and whirled around trying a stab attack with the sai only to have Crystal dodge and jump away. That's when the two went at it.
The Herb Pokémon grew worried when she saw Yellow's condition. Mega quickly released a multicolored fragrance from the flower around its neck. As it came in contact with Yellow the girl glowed brilliant golden green. As she glowed the wounds on her neck disappeared and so did the stab wound above her heart. Her vocal box was restored and and body was put back into a healthy state. Mega had just used Aromatherapy. As the glowing subsided the girl slowly opened her eyes to be face-to-face with a familiar Pokémon.
"Mega?" She asked.
The Pokémon smiled and nuzzled the girl making the blonde giggle. "Thanks for healing me." She said petting the Pokémon.
"Yellow!" The blonde turned her head to see Mist flying towards her carrying her shield and sword.
"Mist, you're ok!" Yellow gasped quickly hugging the pixie.
"Only thanks to her." Mist pointed to Mega. "Anyway we have to help Crystal!"
Turning her heard Yellow noticed that both Crystal and the mysterious girl were in close combat. Quickly grabbing her sword and shield the olive-eyed girl raced towards them. she noticed the Pokémon fighting but didn't have time to mull over this.
Ninetales let out a spiral of fire and Glaceon fired a beam of ice at Karapyon at the same time. Unable to dodge both at once, the Lonely Pokémon decided to dodge the Ice Beam and let itself get trapped in the ring of fire. After all, it was weak against ice-types but it was pretty good against fire-types. But the Cubone didn't expect the Glaceon to use Ice Shard next followed by Ninetale's Ember. Quickly improvising Karapyon spun its bone club like an umbrella making it impenetrable. The Pokémon then used Dig. As it tunneled under ground it escaped the fire. It was now a guessing game of where Cubone would come out from.
As the two girls fought it seemed no one could get the upper hand. And this really frustrated Crystal but the raven-haired girl seemed cool as a cucumber. (I know, my similes stink. XP)
"I trust my Pokémon to make their own decisions when I can't advise them. Most Pokémon can't do that because their trainers raised them that way. The Pokémon become too reliant on the trainer and when the trainer is gone can't do anything cause' it's lost with him/her. Of course, the trainer has to be able to trust their Pokémon as much as the Pokémon trusts it's trainer. If a trainer can't trust it's Pokémon to make it's own decision then that trainer doesn't deserve to be a trainer at all. The same goes for the Pokémon. Sometimes in battles the trainer tells the Pokémon to do things that surprise it or to do things the Pokémon isn't too sure about or doesn't trust. If you and your Pokémon don't have the proper bond it won't obey you and will go with what it thinks is safe. This causes distrust between both Pokémon and trainer. And if that happens the Pokémon will be no good to you whatsoever."
Crystal blinked. This was the most the crimson-eyes girl had spoken the whole time. But..why was she lecturing her?
"Tell me ice girl, can your Pokémon make it's own decisions or is it lost without you?" The girl asked.
Crystal stared at her and glanced at her Pokémon. They seemed alright without her but they were a little insecure...they weren't used to battling without their trainer guiding them. Crystal gritted her teeth, however; this didn't go unnoticed by the other girl.
The mysterious girl smiled. "I guess not." And with that she suddenly knocked the blue-head backwards before jumping up and doing a aerial-spiral slice using her sais.
Just as she was about to do impact she once again clashed upon metal. Yellow had jumped in front of Crystal and had used her shield to block the attack. The raven-haired girl's eyes narrowed.
"You again?" She snickered. They jumped back from each other and once again the 2 against 1 combat restarted.
The two Pokémon stood there trying to figure out where the Pokémon would come out from. Finally Ninetales got fed up of waiting an blew Flamethrower into the hole. She continued this for a few moments when suddenly a very panicky Karapyon emerged from the ground. His back end was burnt crisp. Without waiting Glaceon shot a Shadow Ball at the Pokémon. It met its mark and the Lonely Pokémon came crashing down. Just as Ninetales shot an Ember attack suddenly razor sharp leaves flew out of now where. The leaves stopped the embers from reaching Cubone. The foes turned their heads to see Mega glaring at them. Karapyon got up and winked at the Herb Pokémon as a 'thank you'. The battle was even now. Mega's antennas suddenly glowed white and there was a huge flash blinding the Pokémon. You know she just used Flash. Karapyon took that moment to use Rock Tomb. Large slabs of rock shot out of the ground and trapped both Glaceon and Ninetales doing critical damage. As the light subsided Mega used Rock Smash on Glaceon. The Herb Pokémon charged towards the trapped Glaceon with it's body glowing white before colliding into the Pokémon smashing the rocks into pieces. The ice-type Pokémon cried out at the effective move. At least it was no longer trapped. Ninetales on the other hand wasn't gonna wait to be broken out. It's eyes glowed as suddenly flames enveloped it's body. The heat and power caused the rocks trapping it to explode. Ninetales had just used Flame Wheel. Still using Flame Wheel Ninetales charged towards Mega. Mega who was distracted by Glaceon got a dead on hit. The Pokémon let out a cry of anguish as it crumpled to the ground. Glaceon on the other hand slowly got up. It had cuts and scrapes all over it's beautiful body and was cringing. But it managed to stand up. Glaceon then used Secret Power. A pink glowing light covered the Pokémon as it charged towards Karapyon. As it made contact the light transferred to Karapyon. Since Cubone was standing on a rocky surface stones appeared in mid-air and flew at the poor Pokémon unable to dodge. The Secret Power had turned into Rock Throw. The Lonely Pokémon stumbled and fell on its bottom as the effects kicked in. And that just happened to be confusion. Karapyon got and stumbled around unable to walk straight. All he was were baby Pidgeys cheeping around his head. Ninetales on the other hand used Sunny Day to boost up her power. Then Ninetales began charging up power, light red energy flickers around her body and her eyes glow light blue. The light red energy becomes even stronger as it absorbs the sunlight. Little do they know Mega had used Synthesis and was charging up her own move using the sunlight. She just pretends to be knocked out. Glaceon then decided it was time to knock the Cubone out. The Pokémon starts running towards Cubone and as Glaceon runs her body becomes surrounded by spiraling orange streaks. A purple energy then appears from the top of the streaks and envelops Glaceon's body. Then with great force she jumps at Cubone. If you can't figure out the move, it's Giga Impact. And yes, Glaceon can learn it. Karapyon on the other hand had the same thought. So he opened his mouth and an orange ball appears in front of it. It then fires an orange beam at the opponent from the ball. Pretty obvious move, but again it's Hyper Beam. Karapyon and Glaceon attacked each other at the same time. There was a huge explosion. And when it cleared Glaceon had fainted. Karapyon on the other hand barely had any HP left, but he was still conscious. He staggered an sat on the ground for a rest. The reason Karapyon won was because he was in a better state than Glaceon was, she had lost more HP than Karapyon so she was defeated. But let's not forget Ninetales, she had finished charging and had realized Glaceon was KO'd. She was about to turn to Karapyon but then:
"Meeg!" Then turned to she Mega back up on her feet. She looked totally refreshed and brand new. The only thing was, Meganium had gathered energy in the flower around its neck also using the sunlight. She was now done just like Ninetales and the flower around her neck was glowing white. Ninetales changes her mind and faces Mega who does the same. Ninetales glowing blue eyes suddenly glow red and out of the fox's mouth a huge flame is released. It is kanji fire, the most secret flame of all. As thinner flames swirl around the kanji fire these flames turn into mini fiery tornadoes surrounding the kanji fire. This is one of the most powerful fire-type moves of all, Fire Blast. Meganium on the other hand had the flower around her neck suddenly glow a brilliant blue, she then fires a white beam from its mouth. Yes, this is Solar Beam. The Fire Blast and Solar Beam battle it out. At last there is an explosion. The Solar Beam had overpowered the fire and therefore Nineales had now fainted. Mega was panting hard and was sweating. She collapsed unto the ground, but had enough energy to heal Karapyon. They took one last look at their opponents before letting out a sigh.
Yellow frowned. Everything was the same as before! The only time they had got the upper hand was when the girl had been thrown into the wall but then she had called out her Pokémon. One thing was certain, they had to stop her before she called out anymore Pokémon. They didn't notice that the fight between their Pokémon had ended.
"Yellow what do we do?" Crystal called dodging some shuriken.
"I...give me a sec!" The blonde called back.
She glanced a Mist. "Mist, I'm gonna need your help!" The pixie looked at me and grinned. "You got it!"
It was time to fire Operation T.D.T.M.G. a.k.a. Take Down That Mysterious Girl. Suddenly Yellow ran in front of the girl swinging her sword. As this was happening Mist used her magic to make monster eating plants. As Yellow forced her back the plants attacked her from the rear. Yellow had to jump away to avoid being eaten. Turning fast the girl quickly did her dance dodging the plants and then using her sai she killed them one by one. However, she was to busy focusing on killing the plants she didn't see Crystal use her whip to lash it at her. As the raven-haired girl sliced the last plant. She jumped back to get back to fighting Yellow but ended up tangling her legs up in Crystal's whip that had been waiting for her. The girl struggled but lost her balance and ended up falling down. There was a loud oooff!The crimson-eyed girl tried to get her legs free but then a sword was brought down to her neck. She instantly froze. She followed the blade up to she Yellow looked down at her. One false move and she could lose her head. She peered over her shoulder to see Crystal still holding the whip, ready to lash her if she tried to call out another Pokémon. She glanced at her Pokémon and was shocked to see that both of them had fainted. She let out a sigh of defeat. She knew it was over.
"Okay I give up, you win." She muttered looking away.
The two looked at her suspiciously before approaching her. Crystal helped her get up while Yellow still held the sword to her neck. Mist flew over and glared.
"Who are you?" The pixie spat.
The girl was unaffected and rolled her eyes. "And why exactly should I tell you?" She countered.
Crystal and Yellow looked at each other. "Look, just tell us who you are and we'll tell you who we are...sound fair?" Yellow asked quietly. The girl didn't answer and simply stared at Yellow studying her.
Crystal sighed behind her. "Okay fine! How about this? We'll let you go and return your Pokémon if you tell us who you are and answer some of our questions. In turn we'll tell you who we are, and we'll answer some of your questions." The mysterious girl seemed to ponder about this.
Finally she smirked. "Fine."
She looked them straight in the eye. "My name's Tamashii. Tamashii Mikaduo."
The blue-head and the blonde looked at each other. "I'm Crystal. Crystal Daiyamondo." Crystal introduced.
"Yellow. Yellow de Tokiwa Grove."
Tamashii frowned. "You call that a name?" She scoffed.
Yellow looked a bit troubled. The only one who ever knew her last name was Blue. Yellow glanced at Crystal who shrugged but gave a reassuring smile. Yellow sighed.
"My name's Yellow, Yellow Akuamarin." Yellow replied.
"Okay, first off why do you have Pokémon?"
"I could ask you the same question." Tamashii replied coolly.
A vein popped on both Crystal and Mist. "Look, answer the question straight!" Mist snapped.
Tamashii rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Mist looked like she was about to strangle Tamashii when she spoke.
"I'm a Pokémon Trainer just like you. I thought that was pretty obvious." The girl mocked.
Crystal fell over anime-style while Mist's vein popped even larger. "Why you little-"
"If you're a Pokémon Trainer why are you here?" Yellow asked confused interrupting Mist.
The raven-haired girl averted her gaze. "...it' none of your business."
The blonde and blue-head looked at each other. I guess we can let 1 question slip... They thought because of her reactions.
"Okay then...why do you want the gem?"
The crimson-eyed girl looked at them as if they were the dumbest people in the world. "How stupid are you people? Don't you know Celebi's Gem is a very rare and precious item? It would sell for thousands on the black market." The girl replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh." Was all Yellow could say. She was taken aback by what the girl said, she didn't even realize the insult. Crystal on the other hand was giving Tamashii a death glare. How dare that girl insult her! Doesn't she know she's one of the most highly experienced Pokémon catcher in the world? The raven-haired girl sighed giving a bored look. Obviously not. Crystal was dumbfounded. Well...what could she say? Mist was fuming and was barely unable to hold back from making a monster eating plant eat Tamashii alive.
"Now are you people done or what? I really have to check on my Pokémon." Tamashii said lazily.
"Grrr...fine!"
Yellow put the sword down and Crystal untangled the whip from Tamashii's legs. The raven-haired girl swiftly turned and walked over to her Pokémon. She placed a hand on them surveying the damage.
As she petted them she whispered. "I'm sorry...it's my fault, I was just to weak."
A painful look came unto Tamashii's face which didn't go unnoticed by Yellow. What was she whispering and what was with that expression. But as quick as it came it was gone as if the look was never there. The girl quickly returned her Pokémon followed by Crystal who also returned hers. She'd heal them later. A scowl was once again set on Tamashii's face. She stood with her back to them.
*Silence*
Finally she spoke. "I'm coming with you."
Yellow and Crystal stared at her wide-eyed. "NANI?"
The girl turned her head. "I'm not gonna give up on the jewel. So you're stuck with me. Besides, you two were easily over overpowered. It would be better to have a third person." The girl replied shortly.
Her face held no emotion and her eyes were cold as ice. Yellow looked confused while Crystal was dumbfounded. After all, what she had said was true.
"I suppose..." Yellow started.
"...you can come." Crystal finished.
"WHAT? NOW WAY! I'M TOTALLY AGAINST IT!" Mist screamed.
"Demo Mist, she would be a good asset to the group."
"Yeah, and even though we can't trust her yet I'm sure we won't be able to shake her off."
"But...but.."
Tamashii smirked. "Since there are no objections I suggest we carry on." With that she turned and walked away leading the group totally ignoring the flabbergasted pixie.
"Gomenasai Mist-san." Yellow said with and apologetic face.
With that the two girls followed Tamashii leaving a disbelieving pixie behind. Am I the only one who has any sanity around here? That girl ATTACKED us and she even said she was still after the gem...and those two just let her come in and follow us? What is the world coming to? Mist thought crying making a face like this: T.T
