Chapter 18: Light in the darkness.

As a very chilling breeze blew through the area around me I didn't want to move. The thought of abandoning all my emotion ran through my mind. Tears continuously ran down my face I grabbed on the dirt that was on the ground.

I closed my eye, and then I roared as loud as I could from the unbearable pain that was now in my heart. When I opened my eyes again I took a look at the hump that was in the ground. It was the best could I do for her, but I will kill that bastard if its last thing I do.

If only it was me, probably none of this shit would have happened. I looked up to see the moon it was as if though it was grabbing me on the shoulder telling me, "It'll be alright..." I have to keep going if I'm to stop now that bastard will have a chance to breathe and I won't give him that break.

"I have to keep going I will take that bastard down, let's go...!" I yelled as I started walking.

(One day before)

I awaken to find myself sleeping on my stomach, I tried rolling over to see that something on my back. I looked across the way to see Sasha still sleeping on the other side of the camp. I assume it must be Krystal that must be on my back. Since we talked with each other she'd become more affectionate with me, I assume she must have wanted to continue having a physical relationship with me.

Now that I have my memories of past back in my mind thanks to Rebecca and her mind probing I felt better remembering times that I spent with Krystal. Since I was in such a comfortable position and Krystal didn't weight that much I decided to just remain lying there till the others awaken.

Since I had nothing else to do and I didn't want to go back to sleep I decided to start thinking about my past. It felt weird trying to remember things about myself after only three weeks. I felt like a history book that needed learning in order for me to progress in my current life.

(Memory)

My mind first started with the thought of my father returning home one day from work mad seven years ago. We lived in a city called Olivine which is famous for its boats and oceans. I remember that he was breaking many things inside the house. I was only thirteen at the time with my younger sister holding on to my side scared. I believe she was a few years younger than I was, but her psychic abilities had already awakened.

This particular day my father was a little angrier than he would get Rebecca or me, if we didn't complete a choir, or were playing too loud with each other. I remember this day he was drunk, though he never drinks today I notice that he was completely wasted. After he was finish trashing the living room he turned his attention to Rebecca.

I remember me standing in between him and her enduring a savage beating. He was crying the entire time he kept striking me. Coming close to blacking out on my feet I didn't want to fall and let my sister be beaten like I am. Once he was going to deliver the final blow, he suddenly stopped in mid strike.

With my eye swelling to about the size of an Oran berry I continue holding my arms up to shield my sister. When I notice that he wasn't hitting me anymore, I saw a purple aura glow around him. Falling to my knees I could see in between my father's legs to see that my mother was standing behind him. She had one of her hands up in a calm manner slowly walking to him.

She placed her right hand on his back saying, "Relax..."
His eyes began flickering wildly as his knees started buckling, and then fell to the floor. I soon fell afterwards with very bloody mess. He and I were staring at each other face to face both of us had a dull looks in our eyes as everything went black.

The next day when I had awakened both my mother and sister were sitting next to me in my room. Rebecca was sleep on my right side and my Mom sitting above me stoking my black hair.

I remember me taking mostly from my father with my black hair and his figure, but my personally I got from my mother. Whereas my sister got her looks and her psychic abilities from our mother, but now I see she gets her personally from our father.

"Mmm...Mom." I said weakly.

"Shhh...Dear you need to rest." She said sweetly.

Her voice was that of an angel, and she was the nicest person you'd ever want to me. If I ever had a problem she goes out of her way to see that it gets fixed. She was also very beautiful she look much like Rebecca does now.

My father on the other hand was the complete opposite of her, he very fast he wanted more things for us. He always wanted his family to be above the rest, when he heard that Rebecca was a psychic when she was born, he was the happiest person on this planet I think. This will be the first time in my life he very hit me like this, but surely not be the last.

"Why did father do that? Why would he go after Rebecca?" I asked her wincing from the pain.

"Max, I'm so sorry it's my entire fault I should have gotten to you two faster. He called and told me that he lost his job at the science community...he sounded so upset I wanted to greet him when he came home, but it took him so long I didn't think he was out getting drunk." She said with a very sad expression.

"What are you talking about father is one of the greatest scientists in Johto there's no way they'd let someone of his caliber go. And you know father never drinks anything?" I said with tears forming in my eyes.

She looked down to me with tears forming in her eyes as well, and shook her head. Then took a deep breath saying, "Your father came up with a way to understanding Pokémon, but it's very dangerous to use."

"How so?" I asked her confused.

"Though your father attempt is noble the drug itself could probably drive someone insane. Not only that what if people get a hold on to it and somehow turn it into a weapon." She said talking to me as an adult.

For my age I could comprehend most conversation that I had with my parents. Though my father did like talking about science a lot over time I would come to understand it more and more. And I also knew he was the money maker of the house-hold.

"Damn so what are we going to do now mom?" I said concerned.

Taking her index finger she poked me in the stomach which caused me to giggle. "Language young man." She said standing up letting her golden blonde hair flow graciously.

(Present)

I then felt Krystal crawling up my back, the drape down my face onto my snout. She then used to my snout to do a handstand and then jump down. Hugging my face she said, "Good morning Ferali...wait you wanna see something funny?"

I giggled lightly at her spirit; I stood up to see what she was doing.

She put a finger to her lips signaling me to remain silent. She approached Sasha silently as she tip-toed next to her. Getting down on her knee's she quickly flipped Sasha over, which caused her to start panicking. Krystal lay down on top of her stretching all of Sasha's limbs out.

Sasha quickly looked up to see what was going on once she saw Krystal she began to settle down. Sighing to herself and said, "Morning Head Lady."

"Morning Sasha." She said getting off her giggling.

"Hiya Snow flake!" I said waving over to her.

"Snowflake? You haven't called me that since I first joined this team." She said talking upside down.

I then stood up taking a nice long stretch and smiled to her saying, "Yeah I remember that, but Sasha I like to think of what we have as a family...I mean what you and Krystal pulled off yesterday was nothing a simple team could have done."

"But the way I see Head Lady is more like a leader, than a sister..." She said with an unsure tone.

"Yeah and I used to see her more like a hard hitting partner, than someone I use to love."

"Use to?" Krystal said placing a hand on her hip, squinting at me roughly.

"Well I mean you said something about me being a Pokémon would affect our relationship and I don't think that you ever told me that you love me..." I said confessing my true feeling, though I knew that deep down she love me just too stubborn to admit it.

"......." Krystal mumbled something very low to herself.
At this point I have to say it feels great to be able to take charge of situations even though it's one as awkward as this one. Having memories to recall on bringing up the past, my mind began thinking about the time Krystal and I use to spend with each other.

(Memory)

Now seven years has passed and I'm at the age of twenty my father had given me the task of researching his latest experiment, of learning about Pokémon in the field. The suit that I wore adjusted itself to my living conditions I just spent the last three days without eating, or taking a long break. One day while I was in the Blackthorn City area on the edge of the city though.

I saw a girl at the sitting at the edge of a cliff crying loudly to herself alone. I quietly approached her from behind wanting to ask her what was wrong. She must have noticed my presence because she jumped up quickly.

Without warning sprung towards me at almost blinding speeds, but the suit my father had given me to test out in the field had increased my reflexes. I was able to dodge the large bullet that shot out at me. She was more dangerous than she let on while she was crying, and all I wanted to do was to ask her why she was crying.

The tears still poured down her face as she slid to a halt, then came back at me. I quickly looked around the area to see what I could use against her without hurting her. She already in my face by the time I realized what had happened. With a powerful 'clothes line' took me clean off my feet she was really small and yet had so much power was completely outrageous.

I was hitting the ground roughly as she zipped right pass me. Jumping back to my feet I scooped up a rock coming up with an idea on how to stop this madness. She began sliding to a halt then coming back at me at full speed. I have no idea what the hell this girl problem is or what kind of drugs she's on but this stops now.

I quickly threw the rocks at her; she quickly slapped them out of the way leaving her left arm extended. I nimbly side stepped to the right taking hold of her left arm and spun her around. Once I built up enough momentum I slammed her into the ground.

"What the hell's your problem?!" I yelled to her angrily.

"Just get it over with!" She yelled back to me struggling trying to break free from my grip.

"Get what over with?" I said with a concerned look in my eye. "All I wanted to do was ask you if you were ok..."

"Why would you care about me, all my Pokémon and parents abandon me because I'm a freak always have been and always will be." She said finally submitting to the hold I had on her.

"You're not a freak...Heh if you didn't attack me I was going to ask you if you wanted to go out on a date sometimes." I said letting her go.

She had short curly hair, emerald colored eyes, ebony skin tone, plain white shirt and some biker shorts. For some reason this girl has taken my breath away, I didn't even know what her name is, I just knew that I wanted to be with her. I felt her loneliness and wanted to pull her from all of it, to be the one to tell her that she doesn't have to be alone.

She stood to her feet and then she looks to me with a smug frown as if staring down at me, so I decided to give her the same looks back. She pulled a hand to her face and start giggling to herself while closing her eyes.

"You're an idiot aren't you?" She said continuing to laugh.

"Nah I'm just a big nut you see..." I said as I struck a pose to see if her laughter would keep going.

She did as she removed her hand from her face, and then walked closer to me. Placing the same hand from her face on to mine and stared at me deeply. She smiled as I looked down to her with a growing blush on my face.

"Hi, my name is Shine...Mmmax." I said stuttering. I looked off to the side bringing a fist to my mouth and cleared my throat. "My name is Max Shine, and you are?" I said bringing my eyes back to her.

She continued to smile at me saying, "I'm Krystal, Krystal Silvers..." The smile on her face quickly left her as her eyes grew large and wide. She then jumped backwards hands shaking as she pointed towards me.

"Wait Max Shine...? You wouldn't happen to be related to Dr. Shine would you?"

"Y...yeah actually that's my dad..." My eyes then grew wide as I jumped back hands shaking as I pointed towards her. "Krystal Silvers...Please tell me you're not the daughter of the famous Alphonse Silvers."

"I wish I wasn't, but unfortunately I am." She as her hands stop shaking then looking towards the ground.

"Well I'm here to see your father, but if you want we can hang out later?" I asked her holding a hand out to her.

"Yeah I'd like that; here I'll show you where I live. Though I won't be going inside with you..."

"That's fine I just need to talk him for a minute, and after that I'll have the rest of the day to myself."

(Present)

"Wow that was a weird meeting you two had." Sasha said lying down on her stomach.

I finish bringing down the tent; I wrapped it up and slid it into the back pack that Krystal wore. Krystal sat on a rock that wasn't too far away staring into the sky. I probably tell what she was thinking, because she had a large grin going across her face.

"Heh you're telling me Sasha, once I was done talking to her dad. We basically spent the next three months with each other. But I do recall being told that story much differently when I first met her in my Feraligatr form. I'm not exactly sure how, but I think she came on to me first..."

Krystal snapped out of her mental high after hearing that last statement. "No, I wasn't you were the one who came on to me first now that I think about it. Back then you were a gentleman, but you just took forever doing things. Like our first kiss..."

I started thinking about it...then said, "Yeah I would have done sooner, but you kept hitting me in the face every time I tried to be somewhat romantic with you."

"Only because you kept making it creepy." She was blushing bringing her right hand to her face.

"What you mean, just having the two of us alone on top tall tree watching the sun set. What other moment is better than that to get a kiss from the girl you love?" I said walking over to Krystal with her back pack in my hand.

"Oh wow you two are like an old married couple." Sasha said standing up on her feet.

"What are you talking about; I don't think I could marry a girl who won't be honest with me." I said with the back pack in my hand reaching towards Krystal.

"Well I don't think I could marry a guy that just got his memories back and now starting to act an asshole." She said snatching the bag away from me.

"Whatever lets go so we get to your parents place." I said walking away from her.

"You know what Ferali sometime-!"

A very large explosion erupted north of where we were, which cause Sasha to be sent flying into my face, and caused me to fall over. Krystal crouched down to withstand the shockwave of the explosion.

Sasha then hopped down from off me and land on to the ground. I slowly started getting up rubbing my head because of the ringing sound that now buzzed inside me.

'Ugh my head is killing me.' I thought to myself as started looking around. I saw Sasha on the ground shaking her head wildly, but I didn't see Krystal. I slowly started stumbling towards the direction that I last saw her standing.

Once I reached her previous location I leaned up against the rock that she was on. Looking around I saw shining butterfly wings in the distant on the woods.

"Rebecca..." I said to myself as I started making my way towards her direction.

Upon reaching where she was I stopped immediately to see that Krystal was all over her.

Krystal leapt into the air coming down with a hard drop kick. Rebecca raised her right hand into the air where Krystal was coming down.

"With the power of understanding I summon Protect!" She yelled as a white barrier appeared around her.

Krystal collided with the white barrier hard, pushing Rebecca into the ground with force of her attack. Rebecca was struggling to keep Krystal off of her, but she then smiled as she then brought her left hand up to meet her right.

"Take this you failure!" She yelled as pushed up.

The force of Krystal kick stopped, she then just hovered in the air. Krystal just struggled kicking about in the air, and then was slammed hard into the ground.

"Ugh!" She screamed as she was being repeatedly slammed into the ground.

"Krystal!" I yelled as I started growing ice over my hands sprinting towards Rebecca very enraged. Once I got within striking distant she pointed her right hand towards me and stopped me with in my tracks. She wasn't wearing her mask when she looked to me grabbing me with her psychic ability.

Rebecca's nose started bleeding the longer she held onto the both of us. She then threw Krystal and me into a tree that wasn't too far from where the two of us was. The impact of me and then Krystal hitting the tree was enough to almost snap it in half.

Rebecca started coughing loudly and falling to her knees in shear pain.

Krystal and I slowly stood to our feet as we gazed Rebecca with confusion. Why would she attack us knowing that she wouldn't be able to beat the two of us?

"What are you doing? Why are you attacking us? What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked her in confusion.

"Ha...Ha..." She was panting loudly as she said, "With the power...of understanding..."

"Krystal let's get her!" I yelled as I shot an ice beam from my mouth towards her.

Krystal dashed towards her at high speeds.

"I summon...Extreme speed!" She yelled and then disappeared.

Krystal slid to a halt as she then stopped, as my ice beam went right pass her hitting nothing.

We both started looking around for Rebecca, and then I looked into the sky to see that there was another figure in the sky. There was a brightness that shone from the sky it was almost as bright as a light on the other end dark tunneled.

"Max, my son today you and that bitch die!!!" A voice echoed from around us.

"Shine!" I yelled not really sure at what I was going to do next, but taking him down would save the trip to Blackthorn City and also let me live my life peacefully. I order for me to go on with my existence I would have to get rid of the source of all my problems. That meant that Dr. Shine would have to die here and now!

I got into a ready stance on all fours and began charging up for the largest water blast in my entire being could muster. I got rid of all thoughts and focus on the charge my body started flexing up for the buildup. My eyes started bleeding from the water pressure inside my body.

Once that I felt the pressure inside my body was ready I looked up into the sky to see him looking down on us. He had one hand extended with his palm wide open as if charging for something himself. He was wearing his statue like mask, but the entire suit that he wore was bright red.

I opened my mouth and released the blast from within and sent everything I had at him with all my might.

"Here I'll help you out!" The voice in my head yelled.

I notice that inside the large blast of water there was a red pulse beating inside as if it were alive. As the blast closed onto Dr. Shine it was as if he were smiling inside his suit.

"My son this is your end, 'Hyperbeam!'" He yelled as the sky then turned bright white.

It looked as if someone turned on a bright flashlight in the background. My eyes widen as I saw that the trees were starting to be pulled up from the ground and then disappearing. I looked over to see that Krystal was standing next to me awe stricken like I was.

All I could hope was that the massive blast of water was enough to stop his attack atleast.

I reached out and grabbed her by the arm, and then with all my might I threw her far away. She yelled to the top of her lung screaming my name. I know good and well I won't be able to out run the explosion of our blasts combined. Plus I want to see his down fall myself.

At that moment the two mighty forces collided with each other. The light was so intense I couldn't see who had won the collision battle. I then notice that the light started glowing with a reddish color and now spread across the sky.

The best I could do was cover my face with both my arms as everything started fading away. At that moment I brighter white light appeared in front of me as I started to close my eyes.

The skin on my arm began tingling, and then went numb with a burning sensation.

I started thinking about other things to take my mind off of what was happening. Then the memory of when I got my first Pokémon came back to me five years ago.

(Memory)

"Aww my baby is all grown up now!" My mother said as she pinched my cheeks.

A blush spread across my face as I reached up for her hands to stop the pinching. I was only fifteen really late in my opinion to just be starting my journey as a trainer.

For the last two years since my father lost his job as a scientist at the Johto Science Community, my mother has taken up Pokémon training. She was actually quite good at it; she was destined to become the best, but suddenly stopped after easily defeating the elite four.

After receiving a challenge from the Champion Lance, she denied him the chance and said on national television, "Becoming Champion will be too bothersome for me because I want to raise my family and move on with my life. Champion is something for the younger generation should strive to become, but not a house wife."

She smiled to the cameras and waved goodbye as she quietly left the stadium on a Flygon that she owned.

Ever since then she's been doing event battles for money to support us. My father on the other hand was busy building something inside his lab at our house for the last two years. He told us that he found a private contractor who was willing to pay a fortune for the future of Pokémon.

My mom hasn't really spoken to my father since the incident two years ago, but she hasn't divorced him either so I think they still love each other. Though I believe the only reason she didn't was because of us, she wanted Rebecca and me to grow up inside a two parent household. That's why she didn't accept the challenge from Lance because being Champion would require her to be away from the house a lot.

Rebecca and I were pretty distant from each other growing up all our lives. We'd barely speak to each other or see each other for that matter. Occasionally we'd play with each other when we were really young, but half of those times I was being forced by mom to do so. Rebecca was more the quiet type who likes staying in her room a lot training with her psychic abilities. My mom would mentor her during her training so she didn't hurt herself over using her power. It was only natural that my mom would train her since she was a psychic as well.

I on the other hand would try to be very social and go out and meet other people. Learn about Pokémon and dream of the day I would go out and explore the world. I wanted to be somebody, I wanna take the chance that my mother didn't and become the Champion.

So once I said my goodbyes to her I'll be on my way to do whatever and go wherever I wanted to.

"I'm going to miss you so much!" She said as stopped pinching and started kissing me.

"Mom!" I yelled because the embarrassment was becoming unbearable.

"Oh Max shut up and be happy that someone even care about you!" I heard another voice coming from behind my mother and her wet kisses to my forehead.

I broke out of my mother grip and looked behind her to see Rebecca standing there with both hands on her hips. She had her face turned to the side with her eyes closed. I notice that she basically looked like small version of mother, because she wore the clothing. They both had on purple tabards and short tights for pants with low-cut velvet hills boots. Their hair was both tied back in a large pony tail. Rebecca was like my mom's skin tone very very bright.

"Aww Sis you wanna come?" I asked her holding a hand out to her.

"Umm...no thank you, you already know how I get around large crowds of people." She said turning her gaze to where I was.

"Yeah Max, Rebecca will be joining you soon don't worry. Soon as she learns to control her powers a little better I'll have her come along with you."

"But mom!" Rebecca protested.

"But nothing you're thirteen years old, and you need to go out and meet people not be cooped up in here." She said waving her index finger to Rebecca. Then she turns back to me saying, "Oh yeah Max dear Maximillion wants to see you down in his lab he said he has something important to give you."

If she said my father's whole first name she must be mad at him for something.

So I nodded to her and walked away from them and went down into my dad's laboratory. I saw him standing in front of a huge container. Looking at it was his hand on the glass smiling. He wore a white lab coat with blue pants and a white dress shirt. He had a long messy black hair with a white streak down the middle of it.

I was almost a spitting image of him, except I didn't have any white hair, and had on a plain black shirt with cargo pants. I was kind of tall for my age being six feet tall and a slim muscular tone.

"Hey mom just called you by your full name are you two fighting again?" I said wanting know what was going on.

"Nah Tonya is just upset that you're going to leave soon." My father said looking back to me smiling.

"So what was it that you had to give to me?"
"The legacy of this family, my son." He said as the glass case spread apart revealing the contents that was inside.
It was a white and blue suit that seemed to be moving very slightly, but I thought I just might have been dreaming or something. I decided that it must be something special about it, but why would father want me to see this.

"My son this suit is yours!" He yelled as his voice echoed through the halls.

"Ok...what's so special about this thing?" I said asking him.

"Max this is the future when it comes to understanding Pokémon. Think about it like this my son you'll be able to walk a mile in a Pokémon shoes. This'll allow you grow stronger not only with yourself but with your Pokémon as well." He said with looking at the roof smiling.

"So what I'll be able to turn into a Pokémon with this or something?"

"No, you fool! With this you'll be as strong as a Machamp or as sturdy as a Golem, with this suit you'll be able to gain the physical abilities of the Pokémon you meet."

"Wow dad that pretty cool, so how do I go about doing all of that?"

"Meet and learn about all the Pokémon you can my son. Do that and you'll make this family the most powerful in the world."

"Huh...wait so I'm a beta-tester?"

"Precisely, along with the suit I'll be giving you your first Pokémon."

"Cool what is it a Lugia or a Ho-oh?"

"Hehe silly boy, I'm sure you'll be able to meet them sooner or later, but for now let's keep it simple and start you off with a Totodile.

"A Totodile? What do I look like an alligator trainer?"

"When you put on this suit you will be, but don't worry about it I'll show you everything you need to know how to operate it."

(Present)

My eyes began flickering wildly as I started regaining consciousness. I guess that must have been a dream. The smell of burned wood flooded my nostrils, lying on my back I just stared into the sky as if there was nothing that could happen now.

I started twitching my fingers and then my toes to see everything was still there. I felt a very sharp pain inside my stomach. I didn't want to look down and freak out from what could be inside me. I continued looking above me to take my mind away from the pain.

With my right hand I slowly raised it up to start working my way towards the center of my chest. I then lowered it to feel my stomach there was a prickly sensation coming from there. Using my left hand I then reached over to grab the hard object on my stomach.

Now using both hands I gave it a tug, the pain was crazy, but I had to push through it. Pushing as hard as I could, I heard a snapping sound. The large piece wasn't all that heavy so I just tossed it to the side. I then started feeling for the small piece that was still inside my stomach.

Once my hand traced over it I flinched from the horrible pain that it sent through my body. I gritted my teeth and took hold of the sharp object. I gave it one hard tug as it easily slid from out of my body. I brought it closer to my face and looked to it.

Blood then dripped into my face as I brought the rock closers. I then tossed it to the side on my left without a second thought.

"Krystal" I said to myself as I then sit up.

I need to find her and get her out of here. I'm no good in my condition and she probably is hurt somewhere. The explosion was pretty massive and cleared most of the area we were in if including the one from earlier.

"Ferali....." I heard a feminine voice say coming from behind me.

"Krystal is that you?" I said nervously.

"Ferali........"

"Krystal?! What's wrong?" I said painfully looking in her direction to my left. She had a few scratches and bruises on her but nothing serious.

She stood over the small sharp rock that I threw away, with tears pouring down her face. She then fell to her knees with her hands inside the dirt gripping very hard. She then pick up the sharp rock and held it up. It was in the shape of a half moon, and was shining brightly into the sun.

"What is that?" I asked her.

She then pointed into other direction on the opposite side of me. I then looked to my right to see what looked to be a badly burned log.

When I took a closer look at what it actually was, my heart stopped for a moment. It took a moment for me fully comprehend what had happened.

"Oh God no...no no no..." I said with what felt like my heart stopping.

The white barrier....Sasha she protected me....she must have thought that she could have deflected the blast like she did the solar beam.

All I could have done for her in the end was breaking the horn off her head and toss her to the side as if she'd meant nothing. She was now on the ground completely covered in black fur, which was once her beautiful white fur.

Krystal on the other hand was still holding onto the horn crying deeply. As I did my best to fight back the tears, I reach out for her body only to hear a crunch. I quickly pulled my hand back as I didn't really know what to do.

"So it would seem as if you two aren't dead yet well let me see if I can change that." A voice echoed from around the area.

I didn't even pay it any mind as my attention as still on Sasha. My mind didn't want to believe that she was gone, but whenever I try touching her she remained quiet.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" I started laughing loudly. The pain on my stomach didn't even matter anymore, as long as I could kill the one who was responsible was all that matter at that point.

"She..." Krystal mumbled to herself as the horn had a pulse go through it.

I stopped laughing to turn Krystal to see what she was doing.

"She...was..." She mumble to herself as a purple light/glimmer shone from the horn now.

"Krystal?" I said confused at what she was doing.

"She was my friend!!!" She yelled as large purple energy then grew from the horn.

"Krystal!" I yelled in total confusion.

"Well it looks like the failure learned something new, but you're still dead! Rebecca!" I heard Dr. Shine yell as he revealed himself to us. He floated in the air with Rebecca holding him up. He held a palm out to us getting ready for another attack.

There was nothing I could do about it he completely shattered my strongest water blast, and with Krystal and that blade in her hand I didn't want to make any sudden moves. Plus she was emotionally unstable so I didn't want to do anything to provoke her.

Krystal looked to the sky and yelled, "You will die!"

The energy on the blade then grew to be about a meter large, it made a loud pulsing noise the more it grew. She swung her arm backwards then back forward with all her might. The energy on the blade left the horn and into the sky flying at high speeds.

My father didn't move an inch as the large wave of energy inched closer and closer to him.

Rebecca reacted without thinking and tried to pull him out of the way, but the energy caught them. The blade severed the wings that Rebecca used on her mask, but this time there was blood shooting from them.

When I looked closer I saw her wings that were severed disappear and an arm falling to the ground. Once I caught a good sight of whom it belongs to my eyes almost tripled in size.

It belongs to my father who was now screaming his mind out.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!" I yelled as a large amount a blood leaked from where they were falling.

I couldn't see where they were; only hear a loud crashing noise. I assume my father must have passed out from the pain by now.

I then started feeling very sleepy as if I'd been up for a week straight with no rest. I looked over to where Krystal was to see that she was still holding Sasha's horn looking down at the ground with tears falling from her face.

"Krystal..." I mutter as my voice started to leave me.

My eyes started closing involuntarily, this must be what it feels like to die I guess.

"Ferali!!!!" Krystal yelled to the top of her lungs.

"I'm not going to lose you to! You will live!" She yelled again pointing a Pokéball towards me.

After that I saw the red beam hit me I knew what she was trying to do, but I was tired. If it was time for me to go I'd be happy. I'm far too tired of this existence I was ready to go. I could only hope that Krystal find peace in this world.

"No you son of a bitch!" The voice in my head said returning. "You're not getting rid of me that easily, I want my body back. You dying now aren't going to help my cause!"

"Sorry dude I'm just really tired of all this and I'm ready to go..." I said giving up hope.

"Well not today you're not dying so live!" It yelled.
As I felt something jerk me roughly, my eyes began to flutter as a piece of dirt had gotten into them.

"Why do you want me to live so badly? I thought you wanted to see me dead as much as everyone else?" I asked confused.

"I'm your Pokémon! I will not give up on you!" The voice said as an image appeared in front of me as if I were dreaming.

I stood there in my original human body and on the opposite side of me stood my Feraligatr. "So you were my Feraligatr..."

"Yes, master and I'm so happy you finally you see that, I'll do everything in my power to keep you alive. I want my body back and I want you in your body again. I want us to be together again, master..."

"Alright I understand, for you and for that girl out there, I'll keep going. I'll need your help for now on will you help me?" I asked it getting down on my knees.

"Well for one thing my name is 'Hydro' and right now we're inside the Pokéball of that girl. I'm going to teach everything about me and about this body. There are a few things we still need to learn, but we'll get there I'm sure of it." It said walking closer to me kneeling where I was.

I stared at the ground for a while and then looked back up to it and asked, "But there's one thing I don't understand?"

"And what would that be?"

"Like what the hell...Why were you trying to fill me with doubt before? Why were you trying to make me kill things and betray my friends?" I asked as my mind started thinking about Sasha.

"Because..."

"Because what?" I asked now starting to become angry.

"Because I was jealous and angry... I'll explain it all to you later master but in the mean time I want you to get better ok?" He said falling to his knees and holding himself up with his hands.

"After losing one friend I was about to become lost in the darkness, but made another friend who brought me back to the light. I need to finish this, and starting with Krystal's parents by stopping this madman before he does something to them. I hope Krystal doesn't try to pull anything to harm them in the process." I said to myself in low tone, but loud enough for my Feraligatr to hear.

For the memory of Sasha who's now in a better place now. I'm going to finish this, I know that Dr. Shine is still alive and will be after us more than ever now. I'll get stronger to kill that bastard who ruined my life, and I shall not give up on my sister I will show her the light.

My name is Ferali and I do know this, I will finish this with no regrets!Chapter End Notes:Alright there you have it folks it was very fun while it lasted. Please let me know what you think! Again I thank and much love to everyone who supported me for this project.

-p.s. Sorry but I'm a sucker for tragedy!
