Thx for the reviews, all of you! This chapter picks up from where chap 4 ended. Also, Red and Green are involved later, and finally Ghetsis' HYRDEIGON! I hope you enjoy the chapter
Black's POV:
Why, why of all the Pokémon did it have to be HYDREIGON?! I've never personally owned one, but I have seen the chaos and hurt that they tend to bring with them. I still have nightmares about HIS Hydreigon. I remember seeing it the first time in Dragon spiral Tower, it had wiped out my whole team in a matter of seconds. I had seen how vicious it could be on more than one occasion. I had seen a Pokémon mother, who had simply been trying to protect its young from the man who owned the dragon type Pokémon, be mauled by the three headed dragon type. That beast was cruel and vicious, it didn't just stop at Pokémon. I had bore witness to a time when Hydreigon devoured part of a human being, like a bloodthirsty savage. I wished to be anywhere but here, anywhere where this beast wasn't.
"Now, Hydreigon tend to be violent, so you must be careful when handling them. If you treat them with respect, they will treat you the same way. However, they are easily provoked, meaning that you will have to be very careful with this Pokémon. Then again, you have to do that with any dragon type." Clair chuckled. She reached behind her desk and threw a fish at the dragon. She laughed as Hydreigon caught the fish with his right mouth. She smiled and turned to the class.
"Now, who wants the chance to get to know Hydreigon?" She asked, picking up a bucket of fish and sticking it outwards, offering it to anyone who would volunteer. She grew slightly annoyed when nobody came forward. She started tapping her foot, as a sort of signal for SOMEBODY to step up. Of course, nobody was willing to go near the three headed beast. True, many of the students were encouraged and invigorated by Cynthia's speech, but there is NO way in hell that anybody was going to get near that thing
Clair narrowed her eyes and sighed. "Very well, I suppose we're going to have to settle this like CHILDREN." She emphasized the last word, to make it quite clear that she was NOT happy with the group.
"Alright, we'll do eenie-meenie-miney-mo to decide who is going to step up." She announced.
I saw Gold lean over to Silver and whisper something into his ear, which made the red-head smile a bit. I had been thinking about what he might have said when Ms. Clair started her selection process. Her way of this particular game was... very different
"Ok. Eenie-meenie-miney-mo, I pick you, now lets go!" She said suddenly, by spinning around a bit and pointing at a random student. Unfortunately that random student was... me. I stared at her in shock when she stopped and looked dead at me. I glanced at White, and she shot up out of her chair faster than a snivy with a burned behind
"Ms. Clair! Black can't go inside that cage with that, that thing!" She exclaimed
"Oh, why not? Why can't he do what is expected of everyone else, should he be excused from the assignment? Your telling me that Black CANNOT due this simply assignment, all he has to do is feed the thing a fish!" She snapped at White
"Well, you see, Black had a traumatic experience with a Hydreigon before and..." White started
"Then he should face his fear and get in here and feed it a fish." Clair interrupted her.
"But, Ma'am!" White said
Clair shot her a glare and then proceeded to live up to her reputation of fiercest teacher ever. "I'm sorry Black, but it seems you will be failing this assignment, its not a good idea to start the year with a zero. However, since your sister is so insistent that you NOT do the assignment, I'm afraid that I couldn't bare her being mad at me for sending you in there." She told me
I took a deep breath. I couldn't get a zero on the first day. I stood up and walked to the front. I could feel White's concerned gaze upon me as I walked to the teacher. She held out the bucket which I took. I turned to the cage and slowly walked forward. I was at the door of the cage when the dragon flew closer to me. I jumped back in surprise, then recovered. I stuck my hand in the bucket and offered the fish to Hydreigon. I watched as the dragon sniffed my hand, and licked it with its forked tongue. Once it decided that it was safe, Hydreigon took the fish from my hand and ate it
I turned to Ms. Clair and earned a smile from her. She motioned for me to take another fish. I reached in once again and held out the fish. Hydreigon flew forwards toward the aquatic creature. I took a small step forward, and wished I hadn't. What happened next went by so fast that I barely had time to really register the events. I guessed that I must've stepped on Hydreigon's tail which was hanging loose from the cage. It unleashed a terrifying roar. That roar alone brought memories flooding back into my mind. I screamed as images of HIS Hydreigon devouring poor and innocent people and Pokémon. I was on my knees at the cage, screaming and crying. Pretty much having a total panic attack in the middle of the classroom. I felt myself getting pulled from the cage. I looked up and saw Clair and Gold dragging me from the cage to a corner in the room. White, Lyra, Crystal, and Gold tried to calm me down. In the meantime Clair tried to soothe Hydreigon.
I was stuck in that corner, shivering in fear the rest of the period. I was overjoyed when the bell finally rang. White walked with me on the way out. While we were walking, Ruby hailed us down.
"Hey, Black right? Are you ok? That was really something back there, with that roar and you breaking down..." He said, then caught himself. He looked embarrassed at the fact that he blurted that out. I was ok with it, really, I had expected people to talk about it after it happened. I watched him for awhile as he tried to find the right words for what he wanted to say. He was saved by Gold, who came running up to us, apparently wanting to show us something
"Guys come on! I want to introduce you to some of my other friends!" He yelled as he grabbed White's hand and Ruby's hand. Since I had grabbed onto White, I was pulled along with her. Gold lead us to some sort of massive tree. I looked at it in awe, the tree was so huge that you would have to walk for 20 minutes until you circumnavigated the base of the tree
Two boys were standing off in the shade. One had crimson red eyes, the other had verdant green eyes. The two were standing close to each other, and it seemed as though the red eyed one was leaning on the brunette next to him.
"Black, White, Ruby, these two are Red and Green." Gold announced gesturing to the two. The one with red eyes, who I assumed was Red, just looked at us, then turned his head slightly to the other direction. Green was more, outgoing however.
"So you three are the little guys new friends?" Green asked coming closer
"Well, yeah, I guess." I mumbled a bit
Red looked at me. "You were the boy who lost it in The Dragon Lady's class weren't you?" He asked
I looked at him and nodded, slightly embarrassed to admit it. I was surprised the Red didn't laugh at me. Then again, he seemed a bit anti-social. I suppose that was just normal for the trainer.
"Well, at least you didn't get on her bad side." Green said, trying to encourage me. I looked around for missing faces, Crystal, Lyra, and even Silver weren't anywhere around.
"If your looking for the other three, they already go a move on back to class." Gold informed me, " The students get 15 minutes to transition between classes the first week since this place is so massive, by the second week your expected to know where everything is, so you get 7 minutes. We still have some time before we have to get to class." Gold continued
Green smiled, "well, while we have the time, why don't you tell us about yourselves." He invited
White and I told them about when we had started on our journeys. She was going to become a actress, while I had planned to become a Pokémon master. After we had finished with our journeys, we had heard about the school, so we had decided to enroll. The others actually seemed into the story about how we got here. They told us their own story. Professed Oak had apparently enrolled Green and Red after they had completed their journeys. Gold ended up here because his mother made him do it, why exactly, he never told anyone. He told us, however, that it didn't matter to him because he got to be with Silver. Ruby apparently got in because he has 'special ties'. What that meant none of us knew.
Green kept asking me about what happened in Clair's room. Eventually I gave in and told him about what had happened. I expected him to laugh, but he just smiled and told me that I shouldn't get too worked up about that. He told me it would all work out. It was then I noticed that a wild Hydreigon was flying above the trees. It was odd, normally you don't see wild Hydreigon. I walked into the normal lighting and whistled. Clair had taught us that Dragon type Pokémon normally respond to whistles. This Hydreigon seemed calm, so I didn't feel like there was too much to worry about. The dragon tilted its head, I just couldn't make out the expression it was wearing. I wish that I had seen it before it was too close for me to do anything.
The dragon type swooped down and tackled me before I could even go oomph! I attempted to stand up, just to be knocked on my back again. I looked up to see that Hydreigon flying towards me again, its eyes were bloodshot. It was the most terrifying thing I had ever seen. Instinctively I threw out Bo's pokeball . The Emboar landed on the ground before Hydreigon. I couldn't believed what had happened after that. The Hydreigon let out and unearthly howl and used dragon rush on Bo. It hit with such force that it sent Bo flying into a nearby column. I had failed to register anything after that, I heard the others release their own pokémon , but I didn't care. There was only one Hydreigon that possessed that level of power.
I heard another roar and turned to face the horror that had attacked me two years ago. Hydreigon had swept aside the others like they were trash. It flew towards me, and I only had time to scream before it caught my right arm in its powerful jaws. I felt the teeth rip through my clothes and skin. The pain was searing. I felt the teeth of the dragon sink in further, scraping my bones, threatening to break them. I thought that would be it until I heard some kind of monstrous roar come from nearby
Hydreigon released my arm and let me fall to the ground, just in time to dodge a dragon rage. I looked to where it had come from and saw Clair and her Dragonair. Hydreigon scowled and flew off, it was satisfied for now. But its revenge wasn't fully enacted. The boy, in its mind, had only felt a small bit of the pain he had made the dragon feel.
The others crowded around me to make sure that I was ok. Clair came up to me as well and called the infirmary. Two Blisseys came and took me away. The nurse would try to fix my arm, hopefully without any problems. Yet, something was still bothering me. That Hydreigon, wasn't wild, it was... it was...HIS Hydreigon...
Whites POV
I couldn't believe what had happened this afternoon. I had asked Clair how she had found us, she simply told me that she heard the commotion from her room and came to help us. I was so worried about Black. I had gotten the chance to see the Hydreigon close up before it escaped. I saw what I had been looking for. This last time Black had fought this particular Hydreigon, he had left a scar on it. But, it shouldn't have been possible! Its trainer was locked away, and yet somehow it had found us?! I needed to get help. If HE was really out there somewhere, I needed to find help. I had stayed by Black's side until it was time for me to leave. I didn't give two shits if I missed the rest of my classes, my brother had been hurt, I had to stay by him. When I got home, I decided to go into Black's dorm. He had gotten paired with Gold, thankfully someone I knew. I told Gold that I needed to find something in Black's bag
It took me a few minutes to find Black's Xtransceiver. I went through the numbers, N had to be in there somewhere. I knew that Black wouldn't have cut of all his connection with N. Eventually I found an undefined number, and I remembered Black telling me something. He had told me that he had promised N that he wouldn't call him unless he absolutely needed to. I had decided that it WAS time to call. So I hit the button, and waited as it rang. I was about to give up when I finally heard a voice
"Hello?" The soft, gentle voice asked
"N!" I asked in return
"White? What is it? Why did you call me?" His voice sounded shocked and surprised, and he had every right to be. I hadn't even warned him that I would be calling.
"N, its about Black... Black...he... he..." I broke down crying before I could finish my sentence. It took me awhile to finally relay my full message to N. All the while I hoped to Arceus that I had made a mistake...
