Chapter 12
Rook's POV
Very faintly... I could hear Dusknoir's low voice. "Are you sure?" He said. I was tumbling through a white vortex, glowing faintly of the colors of the rainbow. There was a slight diamond-dust in the air.
"Yes!" It sounded like Uxie responded. I could hear the faint 'BZZZT'-ing of Officer Magnezone too, and I wondered, What the hell is going on? A couple of yellow sparks materialized in front of me. Becoming a child for a second, I swatted my paw at one. Surprisingly, it split into four and started to swirl around me. The sparks kept multiplying until I was surrounded by a transparent golden ball that swallowed me whole. I screeched in terror as a raw strong ache was present in my chest.
I could see through the ball. The white background morphed into the upper level of the Guild. Uxie, Dusknoir, Magnezone, and plenty of others were minding their own buisness there. I was released suddenly and was thrown to the floor with a heavy thump. Everyone was quiet because of my sudden reappearance. I struggled to stand up, however I was crushed by Bubble, Sabishii, and Mesprit as they landed on top of me, followed by Kiara.
"What the-" Dusknoir gasped, confused.
"Sis!" Uxie gasped, flying quickly to Mesprit's side.
"B-brother..." Mesprit whispered. Tears welled up in her eyes and her lip quivered. Uxie leaned close in, a look of concern on his face.
"Your time gear." Uxie said quietly. "Is it..."
"I'm sorry..." Mesprit said, letting out a waterfall of tears streaming down my face and dripping into my eyeballs.
"Don't worry, he WILL be caught." Uxie said, his face showing determination. "And our brother still has his..." The rest of the guild resumed there chatter.
We failed... was the only thing I could think.
Timeskip - unknown
"So you see, the Time Gear in Underground Lake has been stolen." Dusknoir explained to the Guild and Extended Guild. "And Mesprit and Uxie have informed their brother, Azelf about this. They have confirmed a gear resides as Crystal Cave. We need you all to go down there and protect the gar no matter what." I took a quick glance at Kiara. She was staring at Uxie and Mesprit who were hovering beside Dusknoir solemnly.
"Hopefully a show of force will show Grovile off..." Dusknoir continued. I was struggling to pay attention, but I couldn't. "They are going to aid us..." Dusknoir said, referencing Uxie and Mesprit. "We are forming teams of four, please select your members." And with that, the meeting ended. I turned to Kiara.
"Hey, could you form the team for me?" I asked.
"...Alone?" Kiara said.
"I-I need to talk to Dusknoir about something." I explained. "I am going to ask him about... you know..."
"Amnesia or..." Kiara said.
"The other thing." I said. No one else but Me, Kiara, and hopefully Dusknoir must know I am a human. I thought. It's for everyone's good.
I walked up to Dusknoir, a ball of ice in my stomach. "Hey, Dusknoir.." I said. "I have something to ask you, something private?" Dusknoir turned and looked at me skeptically. "Kind of a personal condition that only Me and Kiara know of."
"Oh yes. Your amnesia." Dusknoir said.
"Wait- you know?" I asked, shocked.
"Yeah- Wigglytuff told everyone." Dusknoir said. "I guess you had no idea he had?" I stared at the ground, wondering if there was security camera everywhere.
"I had no idea that he even knew.." I said. I turned to look at Wigglytuff, who smiled at me. Okay. Now he's creepy. "But... it's not about that." I looked both ways to make sure no one was listening in. "Well, I don't know how to explain this, but... I know in the back of my mind that I was human. Once." Dusknoir's read eye shrunk to a tiny size.
"Human!?" He yell-whispered.
I nodded. "Kiara told me this happened during the Meteor Crisis. Do you know of anything that could help me?"
"Hmm." Dusknoir put his chubby hand on his chin for a second as he narrowed his beady eye. "This... certainly is convenient. The last human who came here -a Todoile I presume- came to save the world."
"So?" I asked.
"I got it!" Dusknoir said, pointing his Index finger in the air. "Your destiny is to save the world from the stopping of time and to get rid of Grovile!"
I AM THE CHOSEN ONE! "Well, I guess that makes sense?" I said, sweatdropping to hide my enthusiasm. "Thank you sir?" I walked away. ...could I really be destined?
"ROOK HELP ME!" Kiara screamed. I quickly turned my head to see Kiara trapped in a Muk's grasp. A Snivy was staring wide-eyed among our members.
"You guys are so cool!" The Muk said. "You are Team Sky's Kiara! And I heard about your Time Gear adventures! So cool!"
"Rook... help... Posion Touch.." Kiara moaned. "You guys are great- you saved Mesprit! (You are very fluffy, by the way.)" Muk squealed like a fangirl. Muk dropped Kiara and walked over the the Snivy, who I noticed was covered in a pink sunburn. "BARRY! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN LONG TIME!" Muk said, squishing the Snivy. The Snivy(Barry) moaned in pain from the sunburn and the posion.
"Not thank you? Are you crazy?" Muk said. "Oh well, you are incredible!" Muk dropped the Snivy. "You are so lucky to be the new recruit! Cabbage is very generous."
"T-thnks..." Barry whimpered (He has a slight english accent)before fainting.
"Oh yeah! And I went to Crystal Cave already! I can draw you a map!" The Muk said, producing paper from it's - nowhere? "And I found a cavern with some strange inscriptions in it! Maybe you could check it out?" The Muk hugged me and I was infected with posion. I feel sick...
Muk handed me the map. "Here you go! Be sure to take care of it!" It had been very carefully drawn, with little drops of posion here and there smearing the drawing a bit. "Good luck on your exploration!" Muk left, thank Arceus.
"Speaking of which, we should get on that." Kiara said.
"We should go for a 4-3 split." I suggested.
"Sounds goooooo...d...?" Kiara said, staring upwards. Bubble was hanging angrily from the celling.
"Why are you up there?" I asked.
"I don't want to be put with Sabishii." Bubble said, steaming. "And, Muk called me 'Ma'am'." Cabbage snickered as she picked up Barry.
"You've all just met him, right?" Cabbage asked, slapping him awake, receiving a 'OWWWW' in her ear. "Oh yeah! I have something for you, Bubble!" Cabbage said.
"Really?" Bubble asked.
"Just drop down!" Cabbage said.
"no no no no..." Kiara whispered. I knew how she hated Bubble's slime on her back, and the impact will be tremendous. Bubble plopped down on my back. "YES!" Kiara said. "NO!" I yelled, tears welling up in my eyes from the burn. Cabbage gently pick Bubble off my back. "Anyway... um... Barry, is it? Why are you pink-ish?" I asked the Snivy. Sabishii was busy painting herself and her skull in red and pink paint, swirling patterns all over her.
"I overslept." Barry said grumpily. "I was at the beach, trying to get a tan when... I fell asleep. I was woken up by pain when a Azurill had accentually tossed a Beach Ball onto my back." He explained. "But as long as nothing touches me but the air- I feel no pain."
"Team planning time!" Kiara said. "Barry should go with us because he's new." I heard a 'dangit!' from Cabbage. "And Stella should accompany us."
"That means..." Bubble said. "OH NO YOU DIDN'T! WHY DID YOU-"
"Calm down, you still have Cabbage." Barry said.
"Okay, team two is Cabbage, Sabishii, and Bubble." Kiara said. "Oh, I forgot. Jupiter plus Areyon sounds like a good matchup, considering that they are somewhere together..."
"I know! They are totally lovebirds!" Cabbage said. "I call making up the ship name!"
"I suppose the lack of agreement means it's all settled." I said. "Are you guys done yet?" I noticed Bubble was fidgeting as Cabbage wrapped something around Bubble's neck.
"Ta-daaa!" Cabbage said, stepping aside to reveal a blue ribbon. "So everyone knows you are a guy!" Kiara and me keeled over in laughter.
"...Shut up." Bubble hissed.
"Ha, this is great!" Kiara said. "While you guys deal with that, i'll get us registered."
"Best transition ever coming in 3...2...1..." The author of this story said.
~TimeSkip 3 hours later~
"Hmm. This cave is pretty quick and traverse." Kiara remarked. The cave was a ocean blue, small Crystals sprouting like grass along the edges of the path we were following. There were a couple green puddles of water here and there. The celling mirrored the night sky, sparkling with hidden jewels.
"Yeah, I agree." I said. "It's just like we left the guild!" I couldn't help but marvel at how pretty it was.
"Are you sure you know where you are going?" Kiara asked. Barry was staring upward, scanning for something.
"...What are you doing, Barry?" I asked.
"Looking for Absol." He said. "They could come out of ANYWHERE."
"He's right." Kiara said, surprising me. "They are pretty unpredictable. Anyway, back to where I as cut off. You sure you know where you are going, Rook?"
"Sure i'm sure." I said. "We've gotten this far without the map, right?" Kiara stopped suddenly.
"Fine, Mrs. Know-It-All, What path?" Kiara said. There were two dark paths leading in different directions.
"Well, both ways could get us there, but the best way is-" I said. A glimmer of red caught my eye. It was a black rabid covered with white shaggy fur and a horn sticking out of the side of it's head. It was built for speed.
"OH DEAR ARCEUS IT'S A ABSOL." Barry screeched, hiding behind me. Why am I getting the same feeling with Grovile... do I know a Absol? I thought.
"Don't look don't look don't look..." Barry said, squeezing his eyes tight. The Absol stared right at me for a few seconds. This is different.. there's no sense of guilt under it. I thought. The Absol kept staring.
"Why is it just standing there?" Stella asked.
"NO NO NO. WE ARE GOING LEFT AS SOON AS THAT THING LEAVES." Barry said sternly.
"I don't think you are in charge here, Barry." Kiara said. I can't help but feel sorry for Barry, it is a little scary looking into it's red eyes in the darkness. Kiara turned to me. "We have a major problem here." She said. "The Absol is-" I looked back to the Absol- it was gone!
"Not a good sign, not a good sign..." Barry said. "Let's go left before that thing come back." We headed to the left path, everything strangely dark for a while.
"Hey, I see something." I said. There was a light shimmering a distance away. We all ran for it (flew in Stella's case)and apon reaching it, Kiara tripped and we all fell on top of each other. What we saw as a beauty to behold.
