Well another Episode up and it's back to Flame. And things just got even more confusing.

Episode 105: Cresent

Hello, me again. Sorry to force you all to have to put up with another Squirt narration but there was no way to make what I was doing interesting in the least. I'd been hanging around on my rock, unable to attempt an escape thanks to the constant watch of that Persian.

An entire day had passed and I was starving, cold, tired and had lost all feeling in my paws. Ther Persian would doze off for about a minute, never any longer, so I hadn't gotten the chance to free myself at all.

'Damnit, I can't stay like this for much longer,' I thought to myself, 'Amsodeus could have tricked everyone by now. I have to get out of here.'

Then Persian suddenly shot up a tree, I found out why when I heard someone approaching. I didn't recognize the voice though.

"You sure that that Persian isn't around, Flame?" The approaching voice asked. It was a soft voice, so I assumed it was female. It definatly wasn't Spiral or Pika, I knew that much.

'Who the hell?'

Around the bush came a Pikachu. It definatly wasn't Pika, due to the lack of bleeding and whatnot. Plus the shiney and well kept fur, compaired to Pika's wirey mess. The Pikachu spotted me instantly, didn't even look shocked, and winked as she moved forwards.

The Persian pounced and the Pikachu easily dodged.

"Bad Kitty," she scolded, "didn't your parents ever teach you not to ambush your elders?"

"Nobody calls me Kitty," it growled before attacking again.

It suddenly froze, floating in midair. Then it suddenly clicked who the Pikachu was.

"Nobody calls me a nobody," 'Cresent' replied through narrowed eyes as she hurled the Persian strait into a tree trunk. If I had been able to move, I'd have winced.

'She' then turned back to me and sauntered over.

"You look like hell," she smirked as she tore the vines in half using her psychic abilities.

"So would you if you'd been stuck here all night without any food and a psychotic cat making subtle hints at what he's going to do to you when everyone else is dead," I replied, rubbing my limbs to get the blood flowing through them again.

Then another flash of light caused both me and the disguised Mew to mutter curses as our eyes burned in their sockets. I heard Cresent get knocked to the side as the Persian attacked again. Suprisingly, my vision started to return almost instantly. Which would have been a good thing, had the Persian not been sinking its teeth into Mew's side.

"Not again," I muttered as I lept onto the Persian's back. The cat wasn't the only one who had sharp teeth, as I proved when I brought my own down into the flesh on the back of its neck. I can tell you this much, Persian blood tastes foul. I gagged as it threw me off and turn glare at me.

"Sod the plan, you're dead," it growled as it moved fowards, before yelling in pain as it got zapped from behind.

"My thoughts exactly," Cresent muttered as she fried the Persian using a lot of electrisity. It somehow managed to get back up and dived into the undergrowth.

"Bastard!" I yelled after it, "get back here."

"Let it go, kiddo," Cresent muttered as she walked up. I spotted that her fur was stained with blood.

"Uh, are you going to get that looked at?" I asked.

"It's fine. I'll fix it up as we walk along. Now can we get moving already?"

I was wondering why we were in such a hurry, then I remembered Asmodeus.

"Oh shit," I burst out, grabbing Cresent's paws and dragging her in the direction of Cerulean, "let's go!"

"Hang on a second, you need to eat something first. You look dead on your feet."

"But the others," I tried to say, she wasn't buying it and hauled me to a halt.

"No excuses. They'll be fine for another ten minutes."

I don't really know where the basket of food came from, but I wasn't exactly complaining. It was nice to eat something again, I could almost hear my stomach cheering as we both sat down.

"So, how did you find me?" I asked between bites of an apple.

"Well I went to the Center first, seeing as that was where I figured you would be. So I ask that Wartortle where you were. He and Spiral point to a bedroom and there is another Charmander there," Mew explained as he changed back into his normal form, so he could get a better look at his injury.

"That looks nasty," I said as I glanced at the huge gash across his chest.

"It's nothing," he chuckled, "anyway. This Charmander, who I initially thought was you, then hugs me. Which causes alarm bells to ring in my head. A quick mind reading told me that you were tied up here and that this other Charmander is actually an imposter. So I leave, after giving the fake you a boot in the groin to make him let me go."

I'd finished off all of the food and we both stood up again. Mew's wound was engulfed in a white light and, when the light vanished, was gone.

"Recover is a handly little move," he laughed as 'Cresent' reformed, "now, shall we go kick the other you's ass?"

"Don't mind if I do," I laughed.

"Then allow me to Teleport us most of the way there."

So, around a minute later, we found ourselves just outside the Center.

"Asmodeus is inside, having a friendly chat with Scyther. You better go in through the ventilation again, you walking in could make things worse," Cresent said, "I'll stop him leaving. Using any means necessary."

"Kay, I just hope I don't get lost," I said as she boosted me up into the shafts.

"You won't, I'll be able to guide you using my telepathy."

"I don't know what that is, but I never do anyway," I said as I started off into the darkness.

'It meant that I could talk to you in your mind, dumbass,' I head a voice say in my head, 'you wanna turn left there.'

I followed the voice in my head's directions for around five minutes untill I finally head voices coming from the ground below. A quick peek through a grill showed that Asmodeus was standing right below me, holding his claws up to Squirt's throat.

"Now, last warning, surrender or die!" He yelled.

"Damnit Flame, I should have known that you were still a bad guy," Cresent said, as she stepped forwards and caused him to back up a little. Placing his head right below the grill.

I smirked as I pulled back my fist and slammed it down as hard as I could, smashing the entire grill off of its hinges and into Asmodeus's head. It knocked him back just enough for Squirt to get clear and allowed me to jump down.

"Time for a little payback," I laughed as I slugged him in the gut.

I glanced around as he staggered back, everyone was watching and looked confused. They must have gotten a lot more confused when Asmodeus tackled me and we rolled around on the floor for a bit, grappling with each other untill I threw him off.

"You'll pay for trying to mimic me!" He yelled, which confused me.

"What the hell are you on about?" I asked untill I realised what he was up too, "you bastard, you're the one who tried to mimic me."

"Liar."

"Fuckwit."

"Dickhead."

"Magikarp food!" I countered, using the lowest insult I could think off as we continued our standoff.
