The first to awaken after the morning's events was Barton, he was soaked in sweat and juices, but he
wore a grin that could light a city. He stroked his new fur-covered lover's cheek lightly and pulled her to
him gently. He kissed her cheek and nuzzled her lightly, not wanting to wake her. He wrapped his arms
around her and buried his face in her neck and shoulder. He inhaled deeply and smiled as he
remembered everything they did, but without realizing it, Bria had awoken and was blushing as she felt
Barton so close to her. She rolled in his arms and smiled at him, "Hey.." she said half awake, blushing
wildly. Barton smirked and kissed her lips lightly, "Hello there beautiful." His comment made her blush
more, she shook her head and hid her face in the pillow, "No I'm not." Barton smirked and nibbled her
neck, "Yes you are, and your blushing is making you more beautiful." She smiled up at him and teared
up a bit, "Thank you." Barton stroked her furry cheek lightly and smiled, "You are weird love." The two
smiled at each other before Barton sighed, "Well it's time to get up, Lady Mew is contacting me, they
found Entei."

Bria nodded and slid out of the bed, "Is there time for me to shower?" Barton paused for a second,
then nodded, "Yes. Please do." Barton stood up and got dressed rather quickly, taking time in between
articles of clothing to have some of the food he bought earlier. Bria comes out of the bathroom in a
towel, smiling and damp. "I hope you saved some of that for me." Barton nodded and handed her a
plate of donuts and a glass of milk. Bria sat on the bed and ate quickly, as soon as she finished she took
the towel off and smiled, "Ok, I'm dry, but where are we going?" Barton shrugged, "North by
northeast." Bria nodded, "Should we leave now?" Barton nodded, "Lets go, they may need help." The
two quickly left and within thirty minutes or so they received an update from Mew, they were heading in
their direction and would meet up in about ten minutes. Barton and Bria stopped and sat down, Bria
sitting in Barton's lap, "My chair.." Barton couldn't stop himself from laughing at her, "You want me as
your chair?" Bria nodded and held him tightly, "Then I will be your chair." He smiled and hugged her
tightly, "Just know Nadi and I have the same relationship we do, and is welcome to hug me as well,
ok?" Bria nodded and smiled, "Of course, but only I am allowed in your lap."

After they finished talking, they heard someone behind them clear their throat as well as some giggling.
"Are you two going to mate again, or can we get to business?" They turned around and saw Nadi and
the rest standing there laughing and smiling at them. They stood up and held hands as they walked up,
"Sorry, just spending some quality time together." Nadi shook her head and smiled, "Kids these days.
Well we found Entei, but it seems Raiku suffered the same fate as Chavely did." Barton
looked down and sighed, "When was he taken?" Lady Mew landed on his head and looked down at
him, "About five weeks ago." Barton looked up to Mew and asked quickly, "Where is lord Entei?"
Mew smiled and floated off into the forests, she came back seconds later followed by Entei, he seemed
down but he was smiling. "I never thought I'd see the Chosen in my lifetime." Barton smiled and bowed,
"I'm glad you are unharmed, but I am sorry I couldn't help Raiku." Entei shook his head slowly, "It's
fine, we just have to rush and save his soul, same as Chavely." Barton nodded, "Mew told you
already?" The fiery Pokemon nodded, "Yes, I have been informed of everything. But we need to hurry,
there is a high ranking officer moving towards us." Barton looked at the ground, remembering his last
encounter, "What rank?" Entei took a moment before speaking softly, "General..." Barton's whole body
went numb, he couldn't describe the feeling taking over him, it wasn't fear nor anger. Before Entei could
usher his desire to leave a large force of energy overtook them all. No one could tell where it came
from, but everyone knew it was close. Before long a figure in all black stepped out of the forest, he had
a sword by his side and he was walking casually.

The figure stopped about ten feet from the group and looked directly at Barton, "Are you the
Chosen..?" Barton smiled, "Give me your name and I will give you mine." The figure smiled and laughed
lightly, "My apologies, you may call me Kyutske. Do you require a last name?" Barton smiled, "Only if
you don't know my name and require it." Kyutske smiled again, "Your name is Barton Celebestia, you
are the Chosen and you hold the power over all elements, though you have yet to learn to master any of
them." Barton smirked, "I know enough to defend my friends." Kyutske drew his sword, then to
Barton's surprise, he put both hands on the hilt and pulled the one sword into two. "I will be the judge
of that, let's see if you can best me." Before Barton realized it Kyutske charged at him, both swords
being swung. A clash of metal was heard and a bolt of lightning struck the ground as Kyutske realized
Barton had blocked both swords with his own. The swords had clashed close to Barton's chest, almost
as if Barton had waited till the last moment to block them. He jumped back and smiled, "Not bad for a
child." Barton stood up straight and smiled, "I'll show you what I can do." Kyutske smiled and sheathed
his swords, "Let's see how well you can use your fists." He proceeded to take his sword off his waist
and lay it against a tree. He took his coat off and threw it beside his sword, he was left wearing a black
shirt, pants, shoes, socks, a black hat and sunglasses which were soon thrown off leaving only his black
clothes on. His eyes were a light blue, and his hair was a blonde mixed with brown. Barton sheathed his
swords and also laid them against a tree. He turned to his friends and smiled, "Don't worry I will be
fine." After he finished speaking he heard from behind him, "You shouldn't take your eyes off your
opponent." Kyutske was behind him in an instant and he threw a left punch aimed for Barton's face, but
was stopped short by Barton's hand. Barton threw him back and smiled, "That was very rude you
know." Kyutske smiled as he landed on his feet as if nothing happened, "You seem to be doing well
considering I am ranked among the strongest of our organization. There are 11 Generals, and under
them countless Captains, commanders, grunts and others. Each general is twice as strong as the one
before it, and each one is able to fully control an element or two. I am captain number 11, Kyutske
Nagamura, I control fire, shadow, and earth."

Barton smiled and nodded, "I see, so you are the weakest of the generals, but you'll give me a good
measurement of the rest. Well if you seek to test yourself against me I'm ready for you." Barton
smirked and at first walked toward Kyutske but as he moved he got progressively faster until he was
running full speed at him, his fist clenched, beside him. "Let me see your true power boy, I want to
know if you are worthy of being the chosen." Kyutske smiled and ran at Barton, his fist also clenched.
As they got close they both extended their fists as they clashed another bolt of lightning struck the
ground, searing it and turning it black. The two looked into each others eyes and they grabbed each
others hands and began pushing in a battle of strength. They brought their other hands up and
interlocked their fingers, each one pushing, trying to gain the advantage. Kyutske was the first to act, he
charged fire into his left hand and let it engulf his arm. The touch was causing minor pain to Barton but
he quickly changed it by charging ice into his right arm, reversing the pain back onto Kyutske. They
pushed against one another with all their might and leapt back as they untangled themselves. They
caught their balance and glared at each other, each one still charging energy in their arms.

Kyutske smiled and threw his shirt to the ground. Barton gasped lightly as he saw Kyutske was already
in his second form, the red jewel in his chest, glowing and emitting a strange reddish glow. "Ah I see
you know of the jewel, yes I am in my second form." Kyutske drew his arms back and smiled, "I
wonder, did you get to see Xen's element blast?" Barton looked puzzled as Kyutske laughed at him,"
Ah, I guess not. Allow me to explain, some of the higher ups in the organization have the power to
combine elements into one shot. Well showing is easier then telling but I'm afraid you wont live to tell
me what you think." Kyutske smiled as a brown light began growing in his palms. Slowly they grew
bigger and darker as more and more energy gathered and combined. Barton's mind began racing as he
watched Kyutske gather his power, seemingly effortlessly containing three elements in his hands with no
problems what so ever. "Damn it, what am I supposed to do, I can't block that. There's no way I
can just use one element and expect to guard against all three of them. If I use ice, I'll be killed
by shadow and earth. Same for wind and light so what do I do? Calm down calm down, I need to
think clearly. If he can control all three of them I should be able to as well, but what happens if I
fail to contain it? Worst case scenario I blow up for not being in control, other worst case, I get
killed by being overpowered by him. Well sounds like I'm screwed no matter what happens. So
let's go all out.."

Barton smirked and held his hand out in front of him, gripping his right wrist with his left hand. A small
green light slowly grew and expanded, it was deep green, bits of electricity sparked off it. Kyutske
looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Why are you smirking?" Barton laughed and looked at the
ground, "Because I'm not afraid, in fact I'm excited, anxious even, to learn the depths of my power."
Kyutske laughed and brought his hands together in front of him. The two separate lights became one
and grew larger, it was the size of a person's torso, "Allow me to grant your wish." Barton looked up at
him with a smirk, the light engulfed his body. His hair stood up, spiking out with green tips, his pupils
changed to a solid, deep purple. His change caused little concern to Kyutske, he felt confident in his
powers. "Well chosen, no, Barton, this is your end, I hope you had a good life because now I am
taking it from you." With no hesitation he fired the blast at Barton. The blast moved quickly and silently
towards Barton. Barton wasted little time in flying off towards the blast. The two quickly got up close,
within an instant the two forces collided and sent a massive explosion of wind and energy to spread out.
Barton's fist was pushing against the beam, which in turn was pushing back. Barton's mind raced as he
kept pouring energy into his hand. "Well this isn't good. I can't get the elements to combine as
perfectly as he did. Half their power is being used up just holding it together...Why can't I do this
like him, I should be able to do it just as well if not better then him..Calm down, calm down, I
can't be so worried otherwise he will take me out no problem." It took only a second before
Barton's whole body responded and his powers perfectly aligned. Kyutske could only watch as Barton
slowly overtook his blast and moved towards him. With one push of his feet off the ground Barton tore
the beam to shreds and charged Kyutske. In a split second Barton had his hand shoved through
Kyutske's chest, holding the jewel on the other side. He pulled it through and crushed it with his right
hand.

With the crystal gone, Kyutske's body began disintegrating. Barton opened his hand and let the
remaining fragments blow into the wind, along with his foe's body. With Kyutske dead Barton slowly
calmed his mind and body and returned to his normal state. He walked back to the group, smiling and
breathing heavily. When he came within sight of them he was tackled to the ground by Bria, she was
crying and holding him tightly. Barton smiled and stroked her hair lightly and lovingly, "Was I missed
lover?" She nodded and kissed his lips, "I thought you were dead.." "Never, I have to look out for the
ones I love right?" She smiled with tears in her eyes as she nodded, "Damn right." The two stood up
and smiled at the rest, "Sorry it took so long." Nadi shook her head, "We are surprised you lived, very
few can fight a captain on even ground, let alone a general then live to walk away." Barton smiled,
"Well he was strong but I think I got lucky." Mew shook her head slowly, "Maybe, but you still won of
your own power, nothing can change that." Before anymore could be said Barton fell forward and lost
consciousness. Everyone seemed to lose all control, but Mew kept everyone in good spirits by telling
them he was alive, but he had used up to much power and simply fainted. Bria carried him back to
Ecruteak city to rest. Everyone took turns for the next two weeks, bathing and feeding Barton, when he
slowly woke up Bria was the one with him. She held him lightly and kissed his cheek, "You finally woke
up, I'm so happy." Barton smiled and nuzzled her lightly, "Sorry to worry you." She shook her head
and smiled, "Wait here, I'm getting everyone else." With that she ran and grabbed Mew and the gang,
everyone came running into his room, smiling at him as he sat up. Bria sat in bed next to him and curled
up in his arms. He stroked her hair lightly and lovingly as everyone told him how worried they were.
Finally after everyone spoke lady Mew floated inches from his face and smiled, "I have some news for
you, but I don't know if you'll consider it good." Barton looked at her quizzically and smiled, "Well it
depends on what it is, so just tell me." Bria tensed up in his arms and held him closer, she was nuzzling
his chest as Mew took a deep breath. "It seems as if you are going to be a father in the next few
months." The next thing everyone heard was a thud as Barton fell back and passed out.

An hour later Barton woke up with Bria in his bed holding him tightly. Everyone else was laughing at
him, except Entei, he was doing his best not to laugh. Mew again floated in front of him as she spoke,
"Well maybe this time you will accept it better. Barton you will be a father in about four months time."
He sat up quickly and hugged Mew tightly, "With who, who's going to have my child??!" Bria sat up
slowly and kissed his cheek lightly, "I am..." Barton smiled and almost yanked her into his lap, "I can't
believe it, I get to be a father, are you sure Mew?" The kitten nodded and smiled, "Her egg was
fertilized on your first try, not bad." Barton smirked and nuzzled Bria, "Maybe it's because we are so
compatible." The two lovers smiled and held each other tightly, Bria sitting in Barton's lap. "Anyone
know why I passed out?" Everyone stopped smiling and it was again Mew to speak up, "Calus visited
not to long ago and he explained as well as he could. I'll start with a review of the end of your battle.
It seems when you channeled the three elements, Wind, Light, and Ice, you took on a new form. Your
body bulked up and your hair was tinted green, your pupils were purple, with no background. You
charged at the General and apparently collided with his blast, since you were using the opposing
elements you and he were canceling out, there by pushing your bodies farther then they should be. The
reason you not only lived but won the battle is because at the end you learned to calm your mind and
fully contain the elements. You then tore his blast and took his life."

Barton was looking at the floor as she spoke, his mind was racing to remember everything but he
couldn't, it was like the battle never happened. He remembered channeling the elements but nothing of
the ending. Mew flicked his face with her tail and smiled, "I am going to continue now. From what
Calus says you took your powers too far, you weren't ready for that level, so naturally your body was
weakened and nearly destroyed. You're progressing faster than we hoped, soon you will master all
elements and finally bring peace to the world. I just hope you can do it before its too late." Barton
smiled and nodded, "I'm not worried, I will protect the world, so I can raise my family in it." His
comment made Bria blush and nuzzle in closer to him. "We should let him rest for now, we can move
out tomorrow." Barton looked at Bria puzzled, "Where to?" She smiled and nuzzled his neck, "Well,
we have to find Kiro, he is your first teacher. By next week you will have mastered fire." Barton smiled
and nodded, "Looking forward to it, but for now I'd like to sleep a bit." Everyone nodded and left,
except Bria, she got under the covers and snuggled in close, falling asleep in his arms, both of them with
a hand on her stomach, wondering about the new life they made.Chapter End Notes:Ok, I am in need of 2 more female names, I suck at female names so I jacked some from Fire Emblem.
