Thanks to Frostweaver, I managed to make the fanfic a bit more "darker"...I edited some scenes, by the way. You may want to re-read some scenes especially Chapter 6.

Here's chapter 7. I really hope that you guys will enjoy it... ^_^

Chapter 7

Dennis Nina called his name in the darkness. Its been a whole day since the incident happened. Theyve traveled up to the steps of Mount Moon and they decided to rest outside of Mount Moon for the night.

Dennis looked up at her in the darkness. Everything was shrouded in darkness and the moons light was the only thing that lit up the dark wilderness. The cool breeze blew and made the trees rustle.

Whatwhat was your dream? Nina asked him. You were dreaming when I found you there. You were muttering about stopping Nina whispered solemnly.

Dennis sighed. II was running away from these eyes. They looked creepy and all. They just chased me. He then paused. And then I tripped. When I looked back, the eyes were gone. Then, I heard a girl scream. She was screaming in pain He wiped the sweat that glazed his forehead. She was screaming so hard as if she was getting torn into pieces. Then, there was a man who just laughed and laughed at the girl

Sothat was it? Nina questioned him.

Noevery time she screams, I keep feeling as if I was being stabbedso many timesit hurts so much when she screams. I just wanted her to stop screamingbut

But what?

Dennis paused as he looked up in the sky where the moon is. Nothing

~*~*~*~

Over time, Mount Moon had merely become a tunnel. Before, it was an intricate maze that annoyed beginning trainers and many were lost. Dennis and Nina managed to go through the dark, rocky tunnel, without effort. It was noon when the two exited the tunnel.

Fresh air! Nina gasped as she burst out of the cave exit. I hate going in caves

Dennis followed her, walking calmly and charily. He didnt say a word since he was in deep thought.

Hey Dennis, how long do you think can we walk up to Cerulean? Nina asked him as she let him pass her.

Dunnomight get there around dark, He muttered. Nina followed him as he went ahead.

Dennis, Nina called as she tried to catch up since Dennis walks in long paces. Are you feeling fine?

Dennis looked back at her and simply smiled. Im fine, Nina.

Nina knew that he was lying. Something was wrong with him since he didnt grunted or showed any signs of being annoyed. He was simply calm and quiet when they traversed the cave.

She was about to open her mouth and tell something about lying but a voice behind them stopped her.

Why if it isnt Dennis!

She turned around and immediately recognized the other trainer behind them. Vincent wore a wide grin on his face as he immediately caught up with them. Nina looked over at Vincent and immediately knew what his expression was. He wore a scowl as Vincent approached them.

Hey, Nina, Vincent smiled a toothy grin.

Vincent, I thought you were ahead of us,

Without warning, Dennis continued to walk again. Vincent managed to catch up with Dennis pace and talked with Nina.

I was stopping here for a moment because I heard from Pewter that there were many attacks going on around here, He muttered. Heard of those attacks? Weird, huh?

Dennis stopped immediately as he heard the news. There are attacks here, too?

Nina looked sternly at both of them.

Yeah, theyre all around Kanto. Didnt you know?

I thought there were just in Pewter. I didnt know theyre all around Kanto. Dennis conveyed a worried expression as he looked down on the ground.

Whats the matter with him? Vincent asked Nina, whispering at the same time.

Its nothing, really. Nina said all of the sudden with an alarmed expression. She looked over at Dennis sternly who looked back at her meekly.

You sure theres nothing wrong with you guys? Vincent questioned them as his eyebrow raised.

Yeah, its nothing. I bet Dennis is just in bad mood. Right, Dennis? She looked at him and noticed that he wasnt listening to the conversation.

Okay, Vincent muttered. He then moved his attention to Dennis. Hey Dennis, why were you acting so polite when I was around your family. Now, youre just ignoring me.

Are you teasing me, Vincent? Dennis grunted as he faced him and glared.

Vincent waved his arms to halt Dennis from attacking him. Whoa, whoa. Slow down, trainer! Remember last time we battled

Do you two have to discuss about that? Nina yelled as she went in between the two. She remembered wisely what happened back then.

She remembered that incident. Dennis used to be prideful of his battle skills and how he can worm out of every tight situation. He seems to be very adept to any kind of battles. Dennis hated losing, thats a fact. He hated losing from someone who he has already defeated before from the past. Vincent was one example. He hated Vincent because he used to defeat him in the League. But then, Vincent defeated Dennis after one battle

Dennis stepped back as he let out an angered sigh. He faced the east, towards Cerulean. Lets go, Nina. Before I beat this loser.

Dennis, hes our friend! Nina insisted as she ran in front of him and faced him eye to eye. We all went to the League together and you shouldnt be treating him that way!

Yeah what Nina said! Vincent shouted before Dennis could open his mouth.

This was the last straw for Dennis. He took out his Pokball and pointed it towards Vincent. The shiny surface of the Pokball gleamed with the suns rays. You, me, battle! He muttered in a simple phrase.

A smile crept on Vincents face as he took out his Pokball. Oh youre gonna be sorry you did that,

I dont care! Dennis yelled as he threw his Pokball to the sky. The Pokball burst into a cloud of white. Out from the smoke, a huge, orange Pokmon came out. It flapped its small, disproportioned as it landed on the ground with a thundering thud. His Dragonite held its big belly as it let out a low growl. At the same time, Dennis caught his Pokball as it came down from the air.

Guys! Stop this! Nina came in between the two before Vincent could release his Pokmon. This wont lead us anywhere!

Get out of the way, Nina! Dennis threw her a menacing glare.

Ninas heart fell. She realized that this was the Dennis that would go for anything in a battle. She had no choice but to step back out of the battlefield.

Enough of that, Vincent yelled as he threw his Pokball. Out from the red and white sphere came a brown bird Pokmon with a long beak. It flapped its long, majestic wings occasionally shedding its brown feathers. The Fearow let out a shrill cry as it floated above Vincent.

Dennis didnt change his expression as he readied to attack. Fury, hyper beam! His Dragonite floated forward and then inhaled. It then exhaled and sent out a huge, bright, yellow beam from its mouth that shot out from its mouth rapidly. It was as if it was cutting through air.

In a blink on an eye, Dennis Fearow dodged the beam immediately. The hyper beam streamed continuously as it disappeared into the sky. Dennis Dragonite panted because the attack required a tremendous amount of power.

Drill peck! Vincent commanded as he pointed his finger towards Dennis Dragonite. His Fearow obeyed as it spun around like a drill. It spun at high speed and quickly and then swooped down towards Fury.

Because of the previous hyper beam, Fury was left open for an attack. The drill peck connected and Fury stepped back a few spaces due to the impact. It growled in pain as the Fearow returned to its previous spot. It was still tired due to the attack.

Steel wing! Vincent commanded again, taking advantage of the hyper beams downside. His Fearow let out a loud cry while it emitted a shining aura all around it. Then, it swooped down and slammed its hardened wings across Fury.

The impact was so strong, Fury was sent flying. Dennis impulses immediately made him command an attack. Wing attack! He shouted.

His Dragonite quickly responded as it recovered from the attack and flew towards Fearow while airborne. It let out a loud roar as the wings were dodged immediately. The ground emitted dust as Fury landed on the ground with a thundering boom. It then used its momentum to fly up again at a higher speed attacking the clueless Fearow. This time, the attack connected. Fearow let out a shrill cry of pain as it struggled to stay airborne.

That was a good hit! Vincent muttered.

Dont mention it, Dennis gnashed his teeth and clenched his fist. He needs to finish off the Fearow quickly before Fury becomes weakened to face Vincents other Pokmon.

Fearow, get ready! Vincent yelled. His Fearow returned to its previous position, above Vincent. It emitted another bright glow, but this time, it was flapping its wings gently and not rapidly.

Dennis immediately knew what this meant. Seizing the opportunity to attack for another turn, he commanded his Dragonite to perform another hyper beam. Fury inhaled once more, ready to launch another devastating beam. To Dennis surprise, Fearow began to move again. It was now moving towards Fury at a normal speed, but it was glowing and shining brightly. It was performing sky attack!

Hyper beam, now! Dennis yelled. Fury exhaled and shot out a powerful hyper beam at Fearow. The attack connected but Fearow continued to move towards them. Furys attack continued but Fearow also struggled to cut through the attack like a hot knife through soft butter. Thats impossible! Dennis yelled as the sky attack continued. Fury, give it full power!

His Dragonite let out one fierce roar and the hyper beam was strengthened. The full blast of the hyper beam emitted a blinding light combined with the powerful sky attack. The attack only slowed down Fearow; it continued with its relentless attack.

Just a bit more Vincent clenched his fist as sweat glazed his forehead. His Fearow was only a few feet more until impact. Cmon, baby, I know you can do it,

There was nothing that Dennis could do. The sky attack came nearer every second. He watched helplessly as the sky attack connected.

In a loud explosion, both Pokmon were thrown back due to the force. Dennis balance was knocked off and he was flung off the ground and a few feet away. The same goes for Nina and Vincent.

A few seconds after the explosion, smoke enveloped the entire battlefield. The thick, gray smoke made Dennis cough as he clenched the grass. He landed face down and his chest was hurting from screaming and yelling. He stood up as he coughed and choked.

As the smoke cleared, he could see his Dragonite, bruised, scratched and blood leaking from its mouth. Near it was Vincents Fearow, its feathers charred and its body bleeding profusely. The grass around them was aflame with small embers. White smoke rose from the ground and into the sky.

Dennis was wheezing and gasping as he surveyed the area. He saw that Vincent was standing up and was clutching his arm. On his right, Nina was trying to get up and was clutching her wrist, which seems to be sprained.

Dennis took out his Pokball and immediately returned Fury. He observed Dennis returning his injured Pokmon and then felt his Pokball bounce back into his hand. He took out his next Pokball, ready for another round.

When Vincent noticed this, he looked at him as if he was a deranged person. What do you think youre doing?

Were not yet finished! Dennis yelled to him, voice shaking. We gotta get all of our Pokmon fainted before this is over.

Dennis, are you insane? That one almost killed our Pokmon! This is a draw and I know you hate draws as much as you hate losing but you have to accept it! Vincent yelled despite Dennis enraged eyes. He then walked towards Nina and helped her up.

But as soon as Nina was on her feet, she gave Vincent a sharp slap to the face. Vincent was shocked as Nina looked down and moved towards Dennis. Then, she gave a slap to him. Both of them were dazed and confused as Nina began to yell at them.

You two cant mature, can you? She yelled at the top of her lungs. You made both of your Pokmon almost kill each other and you people think that its all fine? She then faced them with her resenting eyes, streaming with tears. All of you two can think about is just winning, winning, and winning! You two cant get along just because what? Just because one of you two lost to each other? Without any more words to say, she quickly turned around and began to run.

Nina! Dennis and Vincent chorused as they began to chase her.

Nina, wait up! Vincent yelled as they quickly lost track of her. She was right there

Both of them stopped as they tried to look for her. Dennis soon realized the danger of the fields. Wait, didnt you say there was an attack happening here?

An expression of shock emerged from Vincents face. We gotta find her, Dennis. No matter what! He grabbed him by his shoulders and shook him violently.

Alright, alright! Dennis yelled as he shoved off his hands. We split up! You go there and I go here, He commanded as he pointed in two separate directions.

Vincent nodded and quickly and followed Dennis finger and ran towards the opposite side. Dennis then ran towards the path he was facing, yelling Ninas name, calling her and hoped that she didnt encounter the army of dragons.

She couldnt have gone far, He thought to himself as he looked around. His heart pounded wildly as he looked in both directions hoping to see her somewhere. Nina! He yelled while cupping his hands.

He moved one step forward and was followed by a tremendous roar from behind him. The sound of trees being uprooted made his heart pump harder. He could hear the pulse in his ears, throbbing with fear and excitement. His brain registered the roar immediatelya Dragonite roar. But it couldnt possibly be a Dragonite roar. It was too deep and too loud and it sounded as if it came from a great distance.

He gulped and tried not to think of the impossible from becoming possible. He gripped his fist and quickly headed back. He could hear trees crashing and the sound of two gigantic wings flapping at a distance. Then he saw it. He saw from the distance. It towered above the trees and it roared out loud. It lashed its fat tail and caused many trees to fall in a single swing.

He saw itit was a Dragonite, a giant Dragonite. It roared once more as he saw a bright blue beam come from the ground, attacking its belly. He heard someone scream out attacks and quickly knew that it was Vincent. He could see him, carrying Nina as he commanded his Cloyster to fire ice beams towards the massive Dragonite.

Even though he disliked him for now, it was up to him to get there since he found Nina. He took out his Pokball and threw it. Out from the white smoke came out a tall, red lizard with strong, mighty wings and a long tail ending in a flame. He jumped over his Charizards back and it immediately flapped its wings.

Fire blast! He yelled, pointing towards the Dragonite. His Charizard emitted a huge ring of fire from its mouth and went towards the gigantic Dragonite. The attack connected but it didnt faze the fearsome giant. It continued to rampage as it lashed its tail around, uprooting some trees.

Dennis! Vincent called from the bottom. Right on time!

Dennis didnt reply but commanded another fire blast. At the same time, Vincent commanded a blizzard attack from his Cloyster. A huge whirlwind appeared immediately, mixed with snow from the shell Pokmon.

The Dragonite roared and stamped its foot. Now, it was irritated. It fired several hyper beams towards the sky, and almost hit Dennis and his Charizard. After several more hyper beams, it fired down at the ground.

Dust and dirt flew everywhere as the hyper beams created craters on the ground. Vincent returned his Cloyster, seeing that it was futile to continue attacking and started to retreat, Nina in his arms.

Dennis could see that the Dragonite had noticed Vincent and Nina retreat. He saw it aim at them and inhaled. He had to stop it somehow before it fired its deadly beam. Instinctively, the best thing he could do was yell.

STOP! He yelled out loud.

His voice echoed through the sky. He saw that the Dragonite stopped and looked around, confused. As it saw the destruction it had caused, it flapped its small wings and began to fly. It flew over to the horizon and it was gone.

Dennis Charizard landed smoothly next to Vincent. He returned it quickly and noticed that Vincent was grinning and was holding Nina, who was unconscious, in his arms.

Is she alright? He asked.

Vincent nodded. That was some yell you did back there, Vincent grinned. Stopped that Dragonite. Im thinking that you have some kind of natural talent with dragon Pokmon,

Dennis shrugged then faced east. This is weirdhow did I stop that attack?

Vincent began to walk towards east and towards Cerulean. Beats me, but we gotta get to the city before night comes. We have to get our Pokmon healed, too. He then sighed. I just hope youre not angry at me right now,

Dennis remained silent and followed Vincent. The sun was setting slowly now and it made the sky turn gold. He sighed as he pondered again and again on how he was able to stop that attack

Here's chapter 8! It's mostly talk and nothing action...XD

Chapter 8

Nina opened her eyes slowly and noticed that she was lying on a bed. She quickly sat up and noticed bandages wrapped around her left wrist. She noticed bandages on her left leg, too. She then remembered what happened.

She was running away from Dennis and Vincent. She ran as fast as she coulduntil she saw the gigantic Dragonite. The Dragonite glared at her and then, she felt as if her soul was stabbed from the piercing eyes of the Dragoniteand then she fainted

She looked around the room. It was obviously a hospital room. Her clothes were neatly folded on one counter up against the wall. She moved her sheets away and noticed that she was wearing hospital robes. Light tried to stream down from the windows but was covered by curtains. She looked to her right and noticed someone sitting on a chair, sleeping.

Vincent? She whispered. Vincent, are you awake?

Vincent didnt reply. It was obvious that he was asleep. Nina moved to the edge of the bed and stretched her arms. She stood up, feeling a small pain below her left hip but just ignored it, deciding that it was a muscle strain and walked towards the window and moved the curtains away. Light of the fresh morning broke loose and flooded the room. She felt a warm sensation deep beneath her as the rays of the sun touched her skin. She sighed as she opened the windows to sniff the fresh morning air.

But then, she heard the knob being twisted behind her. She quickly turned around to see Dennis walking to the room. He wore a smile as he held a newspaper in one hand.

Morning, He smiled as he walked towards her.

Nina blushed as she tried to find the right words to say. Good MorningDennis She began. Dennis sighed as he led Nina back to her bed. She refused to lie down but instead, sat up. Dennis, She called him.

Yep? There were bandages around Dennis face. His face was cleaned unlike last time, which was full of dirt and soot from the smoke.

What happened? She asked him as she took her pillow and hugged it. She looked down at her bandaged knee when she asked him the question.

Well, Dennis began as he unfurled the newspaper and began reading it. You fainted when you saw that Dragonite, havent you?

She nodded slowly as she looked over at Vincent. He was sleeping soundly and breathing softly.

Well, Dennis continued. Vincent took you while fighting off that Dragonite. Then, I came there and tried to stop the Dragonite from attacking you guys. The weirdest thing happened. When I yelled it to stopitit did stop

Nina looked at Dennis who was still reading his paper. Soyou both saved me She whispered.

Dennis nodded while still reading the newspaper.

But why am I in this hospital? I wasnt really hurt, was I? Nina paused as her stomach grumbled. She clutched it and blushed as Dennis looked up at her and smiled. I think Im hungry

Dennis chuckled as he stood up. We thought that you might need to go to the hospital because you fainted all of the sudden. The good thing was that you were here or else you couldve woken up in the middle of nowhere. He moved towards Vincent and nudged him.

Vincent mumbled nonsense as saliva dripped from his mouth. Finally, he opened his eyes. He wiped the saliva from his mouth, rubbed his eyes, and scratched his head before he noticed that Nina was awake. Nina! He exclaimed as he noticed her giggle. Aw, mansorry about that.

You go down and get her breakfast and its my turn to watch her, Dennis muttered as Vincent stood up.

Alright, alright. Stop barking commands.

Im muttering commands, you know, Dennis replied sternly. Now, you go down there and get her breakfastmaybeget us some breakfast. He smirked as Vincent gave him a half glare.

Vincent moved towards Nina before Dennis could give more orders. Are you feeling fine, Nina? Nothing hurts? You sure?

Nina smiled sweetly as she reassured him that she was fine. How sweet of you guys taking turns watching me,

Dennis made a fake cough and then snickered. He muttered something about Vincent going to sleep on duty. After saying so, Vincent grunted as he stood up and started to walk out towards the door. He opened it but before he could go out, he faced Nina and said, Nina, Im sorry for upsetting you. He then went out of the room and closed the door gently. Nina smiled, hearing Vincents apology.

Dennis then returned to his paper and resumed reading it. For a few seconds, there was silence. Those swarms killed more people yesterday, Dennis said all of the sudden, breaking the silence between them. Seven trainers got killed just north of Saffronand thats south of here, He faced Nina who was feeling her bandaged wrist. Does your wrist still hurt?

Nina shook her head. No, I dont think so, She sighed. Does the news have anything about what happened in Pewter?

Dennis nodded. He flipped a few pages and then showed it to Nina. There was a small article next to a map of Kanto, which counted the deaths of the police officers.

Fourteen people killed near Pewter city. Pewter Police refuses to take responsibility even though all men were identified as Pewter Policemen. Some eyewitness claims that the suspect for the entire recent dragon Pokmon swarms was a teenager about the age of fifteen to seventeen. Not much is known about the suspect but he is said to carry dragon Pokmon... Nina read out loud but her voice trailed off.

Theyre talking about me there, Dennis said as he took the newspaper from Ninas hand.

Wont the people notice you here? You are a guy that fits the description

Dennis interrupted her before she could say more. But there isnt enough information in here,

Nina made a slight nod and looked out at the window. Can we get out of this place now? She asked him as she stretched her arms.

Dennis shook his head. Does your leg feel fine? He asked as he moved closer to her. The doctor said that you got a minor fracture in your left leg when you landed on it. He then chuckled. You ran pretty fast even though your leg was hurting,

Nina was shocked when she heard that she had a fracture. Dennis, how serious is my injury? She asked him sternly.

Here, Dennis said as he helped Nina lay out her legs straight. She blushed as she felt Dennis hand running up her leg. It then stopped just below her hip. He then pressed on it, which made Nina felt pain immediately. It was the same pain she felt when she was running away from Dennis and Vincent. She squeaked in pain and told Dennis not to touch it anymore.

It hurts She cried in pain, clutching her left leg.

Dennis chuckled again. You seem to get a lot of injuries on your legs, He then smiled. It was a smile that Nina rarely sees.

She grinned back, too but then, a knock on the door was heard.

Aye, do you people have to lock the door? Vincent yelled. The clanging of bowls and spoons were heard as Dennis stood up and moved towards the door. He unlocked the door and opened it to see Vincents annoyed face. I just hope you guys werent doing what I was thinking, He snickered and stepped inside. He was holding a big box of milk on one hand and he was holding three bowls stacked together, three plastic spoons, and three pouches of cereal on the other.

What took you so long? Dennis muttered as he closed the door.

Vincent immediately went to the counter next to where Ninas clothes are. Long line, Was the only thing heard from him. He ripped open a cereal pouch and poured the contents on a bowl. He then opened the milk box and poured milk in the cereal filled bowl. He placed the spoon on top and walked over to Nina. There you go, Nina, He smiled as he handed her breakfast.

Thanks, Vincent, She smiled sweetly as she took the bowl and began to eat.

You make your own, Dennis, Vincent remarked as he started to make his own breakfast.

~*~*~*~

Doctor, will I be able to leave tomorrow at least? Nina pleaded to the doctor.

The doctor stroked his chin as he examined Ninas x-rays of her leg. Well, Nina. You would have to wait for a while. This minor fracture might take about a week to heal itself. But dont worry, youll be fine with your friends, He smiled as he placed the black and white plastic sheets on the counter. He then walked towards the window.

They would be great if theyd be here, Nina muttered as she looked at the empty chair beside her.

Hmm, one of your friend went outside for a stroll. The doctor looked at the sunset outside then, closed the curtains. And if Im not mistaken, the other ones in the cafeteria below us,

Nina sighed heavily. She then faced the doctor. Its okay, doctor. You dont have to worry about me,

~*~*~*~

Dennis walked charily along the streets of Cerulean city. Its been a long time ever since he last visited here. The streets were busy with people as every city is. He decided to take a walk since he was bored back in the hospital. The street lamps emanated a yellowish light as Dennis strolled. It was dusk and the sky was painted purple with the shadows of the clouds turned gold, catching the rays of the setting sun.

He looked casually at the stores transparent windows, observing dresses, blouses, pants, new trainer equipments, televisions, wire telephones, and many other things. He was deep in thought as we strolled down the street, looking down and feeling helpless.

As he continued to walk, something caught his attention. It was a television store to his right. He looked at the display where multiple televisions showed a map of Kanto and black arrows pointing from where Pewter city was supposed to be to the south of Saffron.

Mysterious events have happened during the past few days, The reporters voice was heard from the loud speakers. The swarms of dragon Pokmon seem to leap out from city to city. Three days ago, Pewter city was endangered when an army of Dragonairs killed fourteen police officers. The attacks slowly migrated from east Pewter city to south of Cerulean city. It has been confirmed that there were seven dead from the latest attack.

Dennis could see the black arrow start from Pewter city and move slowly to Cerulean, and then went south of Cerulean and stopped there. The number fourteen, which was near Pewter city, was colored in a deep shade of red. South of Cerulean, the number seven in the same color was present. Then, the arrow and the numbers disappeared.

It has now been confirmed a total of four groups of armies around Kanto. The current ones, in Lavender town, east of Celadon city, south of Fuchsia city, by the sea route, and now, south of Cerulean. Mysteriously, the armies of Pokmon are moving towards north of Saffron city. In other news, the Lavender Police are still searching for the two abducted victims

Dennis tore his eyes away from the television and started walking back. He thought that when Nina would be able to travel again, their first destination would be south of Cerulean city. He just knew that the dragon army would stay there. He knew that they were waiting for him.

He walked back to the hospital as the stores began to close. Night had already fallen and the lights of the buildings flooded the sky and made the stars invisible.

~*~*~*~

You wanna talk to us about something? Nina asked.

Dennis was standing in front of Vincent and Nina. She was sitting on her bed and Vincent was sitting on the chair next to the bed. Dennis had a stern look on his face. He just said that he wanted to talk to them about something but paused for a few seconds.

His lips began to move as he voiced his thought. II think the dragon army from Pewter is following me, He stammered.

Nina and Vincent stared at him as if he just said something stupid. Nina was the first to break the silence.

Why do you think so?

I saw in the news. The dragon swarms in Pewter city were the same ones just south of here.

Dennis, you cant be sure. They might be just migrating or something. You know search for food and

Shut up! Dennis interrupted Vincent. They killed seven more people in their last attack! His voice rose as Vincent and Nina faced him with blank expressions.

Vincent cleared his throat after snapping out of his trance. I think you two have to do some explaining,

Nina and Dennis looked at each other with alarmed expressions. They just didnt know how to explain to Vincent about them witnessing the deaths of the fourteen police officers in Pewter city.

Nina sighed heavily and faced Vincent. Vincent She began. A few days agowe saw those dragon armies kill fourteen people She spoke softly and silently and her voice trembled as she confessed.

Silence pervaded the room once more. The only things that could be heard were footsteps outside of the room and cars rushing outside. Vincent looked over at Dennis, whose fists were clenched tightly and teeth gnashing. Then, he looked over at Nina, whose face conveyed the seriousness and the severity of the problem.

I see He whispered. Soyou guys want me to keep it as a secret?

Are you taking this seriously or no? Dennis voice was the loudest in the room.

Dude, I am taking this seriously. I mean, how did you guys saw them kill the people, anyway?

Dennis paused and waited Nina to explain but she didnt talk. Finally, Dennis confessed. The police thought that I was the one controlling the dragon armies so they put me in jail. Nina broke in and rescued me. They chased us when we were escaping but thenthey appeared Sweat began to glaze Dennis forehead and his voice started to tremble while telling his story. The guards thought I summoned them and they wanted to shoot themI tried to stop them becauseI dont know! I just wanted to stop them Dennis voice was starting to get louder. Thenthey attackedthey left everyone deadnot a single survivorII couldnt get over it Then he fell silent. He looked down in guilt and in grief as he tried not to see the visual memory of the guards being killed.

Vincent let out a small, low whistle after Dennis story. Cheer up, Dennis. Im sure youll get over itsomehow

Im not going to get over it! I saw them die! I saw them getting burned! Dennis was getting hysterical as his eyes widened in anger and in fear. He was breathing heavily as if he just ran a great distance and his palms started to hurt as he dug his nails deeper into them.

Vincent shook off the shocked expression and faced Nina. Did youdid you see them get killed?

She shook her head. I covered my eyes She replied, whispering solemnly as she looked down.

Vincent sat back and relaxed a bit. What you need Dennis, is just a good nights rest. Besides, when Nina gets well, we go train together again. The League is just seven months away and He paused and looked at Ninas downed expression. Whats the matter?

VincentIIm not going to the League anymore She replied soberly.

Vincents first expression was shock but then cooled down to his cheerful demeanor. So youre not going back to the League anymore, huh, Champ?

Dennis remained silent as Nina replied, shaking her head. He had a blank expression as he looked at Vincent trying to cheer Nina up. He felt his anger cool down a bit.

Youyoure not disappointed, are you? She asked him.

Nah, Vincent replied quickly and firmly. Not at all. Its your decision anyway, He beamed at her.

But arent you going to get mad? I did promise you guys before that were going to the League together.

Everything was fine for Vincent. He seems to accept the fact that Ninas going to have an early retirement from the League. It didnt offend him or made him angry, unlike Dennis.

I guess you were just hanging out with Dennis, huh?

She nodded in reply.

Dennis sighed as he walked towards the door, opened it and went out of the room. He slowly closed the door, feeling that he has no use to them for now. He could hear Nina giggle from the inside as he began to walk along the corridor.

To be conitnued...

Very nice. I'm still not quite sure why Dennis is so upset about Nina not going to the Leauge... it's kinda confusing.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens between those two!!

Chapter 9

After a few days, Nina managed to recover from her injury. With some cheering-ups from Vincent and some minor support from Dennis, she managed to get out from the hospital.

~*~*~*~

Hey, Nina, Vincent began as the three walked along the streets of Cerulean city. I was wondering if I could join you guys. You know, I really want to train with you even though youre not going to the League anymore. He grinned as he said the words.

Nina smiled and didnt notice Dennis horrified expression. He was just behind her. Sure you can! She exclaimed. Were old friends, right? She glanced at Dennis and her cheerfulness immediately fell.

Dennis looked down and tried to ignore them both.

Dennis?

What? He grunted irritably. Is it something about me or him? He answered in a very rude tone.

Dennis, I thought you guys had your problems solved

Solved? Since when did you think that, Nina? Dennis voice started to rise again and he was getting hysterical once more. The three of them stopped and people started to look at the strange group. Nina, I didnt even like the idea of you joining me. I dont see your use in my life since youre just going to be there, following me around. Other than that, you let him go with us!

Nina held herself back and tried not to get angry with Dennis. Instead, she forced a meek smile on her face.

Guys, I think we should get going now, Vincent tried to convince them, noticing the people staring at hysterical Dennis.

Yeah, right. And where do you think you want to go? Dennis yelled at Vincent.

A grin crept up at Vincents face. He smiled maliciously and told his destination. Lets go south of here!

South of here? Are you insane? Dennis yelled at him. Do you want to get killed, Vincent? You just dont know how dangerous it is down there! Whispers emitted from the people that passed by.

Relax, relax. What are the chances of those things appearing? I bet they migrated someplace else. Im sure about that!

Dennis scowled as Nina glanced on both sides. She doesnt seem to know who to go with. Dennis doesnt seem to like her and Vincent seems to be a little reckless.

Hey, Nina! Why dont you go with me? Im sure the swarms arent going to attack us! Vincent persuaded her.

But, Vincent

Dont worry, He interrupted her. Ill protect you Vincent smiled at her warmly.

She smiled back at him, feeling a bit protected. She looked back at Dennis to persuade him but she noticed that he was already walking away. Dennis! She yelled as she caught up with him. Dennis, why dont you join us? For old times sake!

Dennis grunted as he felt Nina hold his hand. Nina, I dont have any time to go with that loser. Especially when I need to train up for the League,

Dennis, cant you understand? Were all friends! We dont care about battles or anything! We care about each other! She persuaded him. The only thing she could do was hold him back, which made him slow down his pace. Dennis, please,

Dennis stopped and glanced at Nina. He couldnt resist her smile and her bright green eyes that looked at him cheerfully. He sighed heavily and then said, Alright, alright.

Ninas smile widened as she led Dennis to Vincent. Dont worry Dennis. Were all together in this. Im sure those things wont attack us!

Okay, were going to start going there tomorrow!

~*~*~*~

Im not sure about this Dennis muttered irritably as he gazed at the destruction.

Nina stared with her eyes wide open and her jaw hanging. Vincent clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. They couldnt believe their eyes at the massive destruction caused by the dragons.

Trees were uprooted and dirt fell from the exposed roots. The ground was full of craters; deep craters ranging from seven feet deep to ten feet. The craters were wide and huge and they were strewn everywhere. The whole land was a wasteland. Boulders were destroyed and had the telltale marks of being burned. The ground was charred black. The trees were leafless and showed more signs of a previous fire. The wind swept through the land and carried the strong odor of burnt wood.

Whatwhat happened here? Vincents only expression was shock and it remained that way.

I told you it wasnt a good idea Dennis muttered. His expression didnt seem to change as he gazed at the landscape smugly.

They couldnt have done this Nina whispered. If they did all of thisthey couldve been hundredsnothousands of them!

Dennis sighed heavily. It can be true. They might have increased in number

Vincent faced both of them. No! They couldnt have gone that many! They couldnt have increased in number in just a week

Unlessthey summoned more of their kind from the other regions Dennis interrupted him. All three were engulfed in silence. I told you two to not go here, but you just cant listen. Im going back.

No, Dennis, wait! Nina exclaimed, holding him back. Its a long way back to Cerulean. She pleaded. Besides, the only way to a safe place is Saffron

Dennis paused. She did point out the truth. Going back to Cerulean meant that it would take him overnightand that meant facing the swarms once more. Going to Saffron will only take about noon.

Alright, already! He yelled. Were going to Saffron then!

Good. Now you guys better hurry up. We dont have much time to get there

~*~*~*~

The destruction stretched on as they traveled south. Trees uprooted, smoldering, and rotting. The ground was etched and full of craters. White smoke came from the trees and lifted up to the sky. All three continued on, ignoring the fact that their own lives are in the most dangerous place in all of Kanto. The patting of the footsteps on the brick hard ground and the gentle wind blowing across the devastation were the only things heard.

Nina was first to notice something from faraway. Hey, whats that? She asked, pointing towards the distance. It looked as if a man was standing and gazing at the destruction. He was so far away, they dont know if he was really a man at allor just a dead tree

Beats melets just see Vincent muttered out loud.

Without saying anymore, the group continued to approach the dark figure. It took a few minutes until they finally approached the man. He had long, blood red hair that was tied behind him. His face was thin and looked sober while his eyes were closed. He wore a long, dark, long sleeved shirt that looked thick and was almost twice as big as his body. His denim pants were ripped and torn, stained with mud, and grass stains, and faded white.

Exexcuse me Nina began. Dennis and Vincent both looked at her sharply but she was intent on getting the mans attention. Misterwhatwhat are you doing here?

The man was facing down towards the charred ground. His long hair flowed with the wind as he opened his eyes. He then faced the group. His hair flowed wildly as the group gasped. They saw his eyespale silver. They shined brightly as he gazed at them with his two sharp eyes. It was as if they stabbed your soul the moment they look at you.

The question is, actually, what are you kids doing here? His voice was crisp and clear. Do you know the dangers of this place?

Yes, sirbut

There is no excuse. If you kids are reckless enough to come here get abducted or killed He paused as he looked at the small group of teenagers. I warn youall of you kidsthe thrill of fun, searching for the swarms isnt fun or harmless

We know that, mister! Dennis interrupted him and walked in front of Nina to face him. Ive seen them kill people before. Do you think it was my decision to come here?

The man paused. A smirk surfaced on his face. Then if it is not your decision, why do you stand here before me now?

Dennis didnt reply as he gritted his teeth. He gripped his fist as he looked at the mans mocking smirk.

Leave now, The man continued. If you three value your lives, leave now He then pointed a finger at Dennis. Especially you, boy He lowered his arm slowly while Dennis glowered.

He couldnt control himself as he lunged forward, sent his fist flying towards the mans face. His fist could have landed on the mans face if the man wouldnt have caught the punch. He gripped Dennis fist and twisted his arm.

Dennis screamed in pain as he kneeled down and the man continued to twist his arm slowly and painfully.

Dennis! Nina called but was halted by the man.

Both of you dont move. Let me teach the boy a lesson. He said as he continued to twist Dennis arm.

Dennis yelled in pain as the man pushed forward and caused him more pain. His screams of agony echoed through the barren wasteland.

Let me hear you beg for mercy, The man smirked. Come on, boy. Let me here your apologies!

Dennis screams stopped as he tried to voice out his words. ImIm not apologizingto you! He spat bitterly.

The mans smirk grew wider as he released Dennis. He watched Nina help Dennis up and Vincent trailing behind her. Your pride will cost you your life someday, boy. Just be happy that the girl saved your arm.

Dennis glared at the man as he gasped in pain. The man gave one final smirk and quickly turned around. He then began to walk up north. Dennis struggled to chase after him but was stopped by Nina.

What do you think youre doing? He showed you how he can break your arm and you still chase after him?

Dennis spat bitterly as he finally stopped struggling. He escaped from Ninas grasp and just stared at the emptiness. Even though his arm was sprained and hurting, he couldnt take away the sinister grin and the sharp, silver, stabbing eyes of the man.

~*~*~*~

Stand still! Nina argued as she wrapped bandages around Dennis arm.

The group managed to reach Saffron city before sunset. After more arguments, they managed to find a hotel and stay there. After asking for bandages, Nina started to take care of Dennis since his arm was still sprained.

Youre hurting it more! Dennis yelled as he continued to struggle in pain.

Well, it was your fault you tried to punch that man! Nina insisted as she held Dennis hand while continuing to wrap his arm. Hold up your sleeve!

Dennis didnt do what she said but just looked at the window next to him. He had a strange feeling inside him. It was as if sadness was about to envelope the entire city soon. He looked down at the bright lights of the city and the cars outside. Nina continued to care for him and Vincent was out of the room. He left his trench coat on the bed since it was getting quite hot.

His anger calmed down when he realized that Nina was finished. He looked at his bandaged arm and then at Ninas irritated expression. He then looked back again at the city. Nina

Yeah?

I have a weird feeling that somethings going to happen soon He whispered sternly.

What do you think will happen?

Dennis shrugged. I dunnoits just a weird feeling. Its like when you close your eyes and you feel someone close to you because you can feel them somehowbut this feelingits just weird. Its like a sad thought. A thought that something evil is going to happen

Nina didnt reply but instead stood up. Weird stuff happen always, Dennis She began. When we grow up, wechangeI guess

Its not that! Dennis voice rose. I just think that something bad is going to happen! I can feel it in my gut, Nina!

Nina gaped in terror as Dennis began to become hysterical again.

Listen, Nina Dennis began again. I justhave this weird feeling. Its likeI want to die. Its inside me and Im not making this up! Im not thinking of killing myself but inside meI want to die His voice lowered to soft, somber whisper. Its like something is missing in my life, Nina. And that part wants to come back to me. It just wants to come back to me no matter how far it is

She could see his expression of mixed terror and sorrow. He was just like a child, clinging to his mother. Nina couldnt do anything but just comfort him. She wrapped her arms around him tightly even though he didnt embrace her back. Its alright, Dennis She whispered. Everythings fine

~*~*~*~

He realized that he was within darkness. He couldnt see anything but just the darkness. The darkness shrouded him like a thick blanket. He jerked his head on both sides, trying to look for a source of light could not find any.

But there was something elsehe could not hear. He couldnt hear himself. He opened his mouth and tried to speak. He couldnt hear himself speak. A few seconds in the darkness worried him.

Then, he heard something. It was a soft humming of a girl. The soft tune took away his fear immediately and a deep sensation of longing began to spread around his body. Then he saw something in the darkness. He saw a girl, donned in white, radiant, silk shroud. The young girl looked about Dennis age and the only thing covering her bare body was the long shroud that trailed behind her. The shroud covered her loosely. She glowed a radiant green color that shined brightly. Even though she was giving off light, it did not illuminate the place. Her long, green hair reached down to her waist. Her face was young and beautiful.

He stared at the girl until she herself noticed him. She stopped humming and moved towards him slowly until she finally stopped because she stood in front of him. She stared at him curiously with her deep, blue eyes. Her eyes were emitted a mesmerizing trance as he kept staring at them. Her eyes were blue like the oceanthe longer you stare at her eyes, it seems as if they were the vast ocean itself. Her mouth crept up into a small smile.

Can you hear me? She whispered. Her voice sounded like cool, soothing waters rushing in an oasis in the desert. Denniscan you hear me?

He nodded in reply. He tried to talk but he still couldnt hear himself.

The girl smiled as she moved towards him. I understandyour disability She whispered. Her eyes remained transfixed to his. She held out her hand and touched his cheek.

He could feel her hand. It felt like cool waters that touched his face. Immediately, he saw a radiant light emanating from the hand. At once, he felt his ears become clear once more. The girl removed her hand from his face at once and remained smiling.

Dennis The girl called his name.

Whowho are you? He finally managed to say. Where am I?

The girl didnt reply but moved towards him even closer. He took his hand and placed it on her cheek. So thisis how a mortal feels like

Dennis blushed as she felt the girl wrap her arms around him. What are you doing? He asked. I dont know who you are and this is freaking me out For him, the voice sounded very familiar and yet he could not remember where he heard the voice from.

I am sorryI could not answer your questionsbutI just wanted to see youbecauseI cannot let yourselftake over your own will The girl occasionally trailed off in the middle of the sentence and then she continues it.

What do you mean? I didnt understand a thing you said He insisted. I want to know who are you and where am I!

You are inside yourself The girl replied. I cannot reveal myself becauseI do not know my name

The girls voice immediately became familiar to Dennis. Hold on a secyou were that girlyou were screaming in my dreams!

The girl lay her head on his chest and sighed. Dishonored innocence She whispered. I am not that girlwhat you heard in your dreamsis just a memorya very painful one

Dishonored what?

The girl looked up at him once more. Her beautiful face made Dennis pause. This was the first time I found mortals to be attractive The girl whispered. I may notmeet you again, DennissoI can only give you two things

He remained silent as the girl removed her arms out of him.

You must leave this cityit is in grave dangerof another attackyou must flee. If it is wise, you must leave your companions

Wait, is this true? He asked her.

All of it is She whispered gravely. Nowthe only thing I must give you She moved forward. As I saidthis was the first time Ive seen mortals to be attractive

He could not hesitate as the beautiful girl closed her eyes and then leaned forward. She pressed her lips unto his. He could not feel warmth but he could feel a deep sensation as if cool, soothing waters were rushing down at him from above. He was in a state of shock as the girl slowly moved back.

Did youdid you call me a mortal? He was flushing uncontrollably.

The girl looked at him soberly. YesI have She replied.

But that meansyoure immortal, right? He questioned her.

She didnt reply but just turned around and began to walk away.

Hold on! Stop! He yelled as he immediately caught up with her and faced her. Wait, is all of this real? I dont understand anything!

The girl simply smiled. For thousands of years, this was the first time I have felt this feeling beforeeven though it is a mortals feelings Then she faded.

Wait! Dont go!

Within seconds, she disappeared into thin air.


Dont go! Dennis yelled as he sat up.

He was gasping for air and noticed that he was back in the hotel room. He looked around and saw Nina sitting on one bed and Vincent on another. He looked to his side and noticed that the window was open. He moved to the edge of the bed and stood on the floor. He walked to the window and closed it.

It was still night and the room was in darkness except for rays of lights that were coming down from the window because of the luminous signs outside. He looked down at the ground below and looked at the small number of cars passing by. Then, he noticed something on the window.

He saw a green colored flower hanging by the pane of the closed window. It was the same shade of green as the girls hair he saw in his dream. He took the flower and observed it. He never saw a flower like it before. Dew made the beautiful petals of the flower heavy and a vague feeling of mystery and beauty wafted around it. It emitted a sweet fragrance that appeased Dennis. Just looking at it made him have the same feeling when the girl kissed him.

Something inside him made him think that what just happened wasnt a dream.

Sorry I haven't managed to add new chapters. Having some writer's block lately. Especially when that latest chapter took me two days to think off... but don't worry. Things will be back up soon.

Oh no...school coming around the corner. That means that the fanfic would be updated only twice per week... ><

I'll try to update it 4 times the week if I can do as many chapters in 5 days...

Blah...new chapter... XD

Chapter 10

Dennis woke up the next day, still in the hotel room. He stared at the ceiling as he listened to the sounds around him. He could hear the bathroom being used since he could hear the running water of the showers.

He pushed the covers aside and sat up. He yawned and stretched his arms. He then scratched his head and then sat up at the edge or the bed. Dennis remembered the warning the mysterious girl gave her last night. He needs to go immediately because the city was in danger.

He stood up without hesitation and noticed that Vincents trench coat wasnt on top of his bed. Instead, Vincents bed was neatly made, meaning that he was gone. He made his way in front of the bathroom door and knocked on it.

Nina! Nina, you there? He called out loud. He waited and heard the shower knob creaking. The water ceased and the shower curtains were moved. Dennis heard her footsteps as Nina made her way to the door.

She unlocked the door and opened it with an irritated expression. Why do you have to bother me when Im taking a shower? She yelled. Her towel was wrapped around her drenched body. Her hair was still damp and water was dripping from it.

Dennis stared at her wide-eyed but then snapped out off it. Nina, you gotta listen to me. We need to leave the city now!

Nina eyed him suspiciously. And whats that supposed to mean?

Nina, we have to go! The city is in danger!

Look Dennis, how should I believe you? Is it in the news or something?

No butI had this dream and

Nina laughed. You had a dream? She snickered. And what? You had some sort of vision of the destruction of the world?

No! Take me seriously, Nina! Dennis insisted. Lookin my dream, I saw this girl. She said that we should leave the city now because its in danger!

Nina looked at him with an expression that doesnt seem to be interested. A girl, huh? How can you be sure that your dream is real?

The flower immediately popped into Dennis mind. He immediately went towards his bed and threw the pillows off. He found it under the pillows. It still looked freshit was as if it was just plucked from the plant where it belongs just now.

Here! I found this after my dream! The color of the flower has the same color as the girls hair. Dennis argued.

Nina took the flower from his hand and held it softly. She immediately closed her eyes slowly as she smelled the calming scent that wafted around it. Dennis She began as she opened her eyes. Where did you find this?

I found it over there, He pointed towards the window. When I woke up from my dream, I found that on the window.

She looked at the beautiful flower and handed it back to Dennis. Are you sure about all of this, Dennis?

Im sure of it! The girl looked so real He then sighed. Andit felt so real

Nina eyed him suspiciously. OkayIll get dressed. Before she could close the door, Dennis halted her.

Wait, wheres Vincent?

Vincent? Oh hes gone to Lavender town. He said he wants to see something there. Since were leaving the city, its good that we should meet him there.

Dennis nodded as he let Nina close the bathroom door. He looked down at the flower and felt relaxed by just looking at its beautiful petals.

~*~*~*~

Okay, okay! Stop pushing me! Nina yelled as Dennis kept pushing her down the hallway. They had just checked out and told the nice lady over the counter that they werent going to return. Dennis was pressuring Nina as they walked away from the hotel. Soon, they were outside.

Dennis was ahead of Nina as they walked along the streets. Dennis was widening his pace and he looks as if he was ready to burst into a run. Cant you go any faster? He yelled back at Nina.

Dennis, Im not even sure if you so called vision of the future is true. She yelled back at him. And why do you have to rush me while the city isnt destroyed yet as youve claimed it to be?

Nina, you really have to believe me on this one. He said while still walking. That dream I saw was so real. I didnt even know it was a dream!

Like all of us do when we have dreams Nina muttered. Hey! Wait up! Dennis pace was getting faster and faster. We still gotta get breakfast, you know!

Breakfast can wait. We need to fly over to Lavender now! Dennis insisted.

Nina frowned as she finally caught up with Dennis. Why do you have to take that dream so seriously?

Ive already told you so many times, Nina! Its

A sired from the distance blared. It resounded through the whole city and yells and screams were heard. The eerie echo of the sirens from the other side of the city alarmed Dennis and Nina.

Whatwhats happening? Nina asked in panic. What were the sirens for?

Dennis looked over at the distance where he heard the sirens. He shielded his eyes from the glare of the morning sun and noticed thick, black smoke rising from the east side of the city. He could see the tall buildings burning and fired by bright, yellow beamscoming from Dragonairs that were flying at the sky.

His eyes conveyed the shock and horror as he immediately took Ninas hand and began to run to the west side of the city and towards the west gate. Civilians walked outside of the shops to look at the massive devastation. At the sight of the army of dragons, they immediately rushed towards the exit, screaming in terror and in alarm.

The sounds of children crying for their mothers were everywhere. People screamed, kicked, and punched their way through the crowd. Agonizing screams of civilians being trampled resounded in Dennis mind as he and Nina squeezed their way through the crowd.

Dennis! Nina called him but it was too loud for him to hear.

Dennis could see the yellow hyper beams of the Dragonairs hit a nearby building. Debris from the building immediately fell down, crushing the people under them. He could hear the explosions of the beams blasting on the asphalt road where civilians and abandoned cars were burned.

The two pushed their way through the crowd, ignoring the odor of burnt flesh and the shrieks of agony. Dennis could finally see the west gate. The white, concrete building was only a few feet away if only he could penetrate the crowd.

Dennis! Nina yelled again. He turned around to see her alarmed face and looked up. Three Dragonairs were chasing them, firing beams at the crowd below. He then looked in front of him again and his heart fell into disappointment when he saw that the huge building was closed. It was blocked by huge debris that must have been hurtled by the Dragonair.

Now, he had no choice but to fly up, risking being attacked by the Dragonairs. But he will be ready.

Were flying up! He yelled to Nina.

She nodded affirmatively amidst of the sheer terror of the crowd. She took out her Pokball and threw it up in the air. It quickly burst open and white smoke was emitted from it. Out from the smoke came a large, blue Pokmon covered with white, fluffy clouds. Its wings resembled cotton but they looked solid enough for the Altaria to fly. She caught her falling Pokball and looked at Dennis who threw his Pokball and released his Charizard.

The two Pokmon swooped down and let their trainers hop on their backs. They began to fly up when they noticed the three Dragonairs chasing them. The red orbs on their forehead glowed a blood red glow as they chased the two.

Saito, dragon breath! Nina yelled, pointing towards the Dragonairs. Her Altaria obeyed as it turned around and emitted a yellowish flame from its mouth and headed towards the Dragonairs at high speed.

The Dragonairs flinched as they were hit by the attack. But soon, they immediately recovered from the attack and continued to chase the two.

Dragon claw! Dennis commanded the attack as he held tightly to his Charizards back. It obeyed as it stopped in mid air and faced the opposing dragons. Its claws glowed a bright gold color. As the three dragons approached the Charizard, they were immediately slashed by it.

All three Dragonairs immediately fainted and all three fell to the ground.

Come on, Nina! Before more of them come! Dennis yelled but Nina was going back to the city. Nina! What are you doing?

Im going to help the people! She yelled to Dennis who was getting farther and farther to her.

Dennis swore out loud. Havoc, turn around! Havoc nodded its head as it quickly changed courses and chased Nina. Nina! Dont be stupid!

It was a while when Nina had landed in front of the blocked west gate. She hopped down Saitos back and pointed towards the gate. Hyper beam! She yelled. Saito inhaled and arched its head back. It then thrust its head forward, releasing a bright yellow beam towards the door.

A loud explosion followed as Dennis jumped out of his Charizards back. He immediately shielded his eyes as small chunks of concrete came flying by. It took only a few seconds for the whole scene to clear up and people started to flock out of the city.

Nina flew up and away from the passing crowd. She didnt notice a Dragonair coming towards her from behind. Dennis saw this, commanded his Charizard to fly up and launch a flamethrower. Nina noticed the stream of flames heading towards her and immediately swoop down, making the Dragonair miss its attack and at the same time, let the flamethrower attack hit the Dragonair.

Nina realized the situation as the burning Dragonair screeched in agony while heading towards her. She had enough time to attack. Dragon breath! Saito sent out yellowish flames again, blasting the Dragonair away. She flew higher and noticed Dennis holding unto his Charizards foot, gasping for air as the people below continued to panic.

Thanks, She greeted him with gratitude.

Dennis was wearing a frown when she came by. No problem He gasped. Just doing what I usually do

Thanks to his Charizard, he managed to climb back on its back. The two quickly sped towards Lavender town, leaving Saffron city, smoldering in ruins. Thick, dark smoke rose from the city and buildings started to collapse. Nina never dared to look back but Dennis had the courage to look behind his shoulder.

I knew that was going to happen He yelled over to Nina, who basically didnt reply. I told you and if I didnt drag you out of there, we couldve been dead by now!

Nina still didnt reply but concentrated at the tall, building that was rising from the distance. Lavender town was near.

~*~*~*~

Saffron city is in ruins. The death toll has finally risen to 9,765 dead in Saffron city. More than thousands wounded and hundreds missing from this latest attack. The tragedy was the result of unpredictable and bizarre behavior of Dragonairs from all around the regions of the world. The attacks were never expected to occur in the city themselves since wild Dragonairs are very shy to the presence of hundreds of humans

Dennis looked away from the television. It was showing a landscape riddled with destroyed buildings, smoldering debris, raging fires, thick smoke, and bloody, charred and crushed bodies. He couldnt bear to see the television anymore.

The moment Nina and Dennis arrived in Lavender town they immediately headed to the Pokmon center. So here he is now. Standing next to Nina who was trying to look up at the television since tall people blocked her view. Many of the people were from Saffron city themselves and many others were Lavender town civilians, probably relatives of the people from Saffron city.

Finally, Nina stopped jumping around and followed Dennis, who headed over to an open seat. She sat next to him and noticed his grim expression. I guess I owe you an apology

Huh? Dennis replied dazedly.

Nina smiled. Remember when you told me that the city was in danger and you I didnt believe you. Im sorry I didnt believe you at the moment

Oh that Dennis muttered as he looked down at his hands.

Both were silent again, not saying a word to another. There were groans of misery and agony coming from the crowd. People were talking about the attacks and telling each other that no one is safe. Everyone was in an alarmed state.

But then, someone caught Dennis attention. He noticed someone go inside the Pokmon center. He recognized the mans face immediately. The silver eyes of the man gleamed as he looked around and looked at the news. It was unmistakably him. He wore the same dark clothes from last time and his long, red hair was tied.

It made Dennis blood boil to see the man walk near the civilians then look at the news where the reporter was announcing the number of deaths again and showing pictures of the ruins of Saffron city.

Before Dennis could stand up or yell at the person, the red haired man immediately turned away and exited the Pokmon center quickly. Dennis stood up and was going to follow the man. Nina noticed his sudden actions.

Dennis! Dennis, where are you going? She yelled as she squeezed through the crowd, trying to follow Dennis who stormed out of the Pokmon center. When she did manage to get out of the crowd and out of the Pokmon center, she immediately saw Dennis running, following someone. She called him once more and made him stop.

Shh! Dennis silenced her. Its the guy we saw when we were going to Saffron city!

Nina looked to where Dennis was supposedly pointing and noticed the red haired man walking along the street charily and calmly. Why are you following him?

Payback for twisting my arm! He replied almost immediately. I cant let him go after he made me act like an idiot!

Dennis! It was too late. Dennis couldnt possibly listen to her now but follow the man through the gloomy streets of Lavender town.

The sky was full of thick, gray clouds and the civilians didnt mind two kids chasing after the man. The streets werent as lively as the streets in other cities and there wasnt a single shop in town except for the trainer shop. People themselves seem to absorb the negative energy of the town.

The two followed the mysterious red haired man through streets and allies. Finally, the man stopped in front of a house just at the edge of Lavender town. Nina and Dennis were hiding behind a near bush, still stalking the man. The man looked from side to side warily and then knocked on the door. After a few seconds, the door opened.

A brown haired woman opened the door. She had a lonely expression on her face and the moment she saw the man, a smile immediately appeared and her expression changed into happiness. The man immediately went inside and the woman closed the door.

Dennis, I dont think this is a good idea Nina whispered to him. I mean, why cant you just let it go?

Im not letting it go! Dennis yelled infuriately. He then stood up and went away from the bush. Nina followed him as he observed the house. It was a small house that looked old but still neat. The windowpanes were steaming with warmth and the chimney of the house emitted the smoke from the inside.

Dennis clenched his fist and looked back at Nina. She was obviously concerned and she knows that no one is going to stop Dennis now.

Blah...fluff...

Chapter 11

Dennis felt a trickle on his nose. He looked up and noticed that it was drizzling. The soft rumble of thunder came from afar. He looked over at Nina who looked at him with concern.

Dennis, we should go back now. I dont want us to get in trouble! She pleaded. However, everything was too late. Nothing could change Dennis mind. He was stubborn as ever.

Im not just going to give up Nina when I already went this far. He then walked to the side of the house. Come on. Lets see whats inside.

Nina followed him even though she didnt really want to. The two walked along the side of the house, leaping over bushes and peering through steam filled windows. It was cold outside. Dennis started to notice frost coming out of his mouth as he breathed. When the two reached the back of the house, they noticed that it was a kitchen.

Dennis wiped off the steam with his trembling fist. He peered through the window along with Nina as drops of water dropped down the pane. Inside, he saw the red haired man and the woman that they saw earlier. The man was talking while the woman was listening intently. She had a saddened look on her face.

Occasionally, the woman would look at the window and thats when Nina and Dennis would duck in order to be not seen. Dennis was now shivering. He rubbed his hands together in order to keep them warm. Nina, who wasnt wearing clothes fit for the area, was trembling uncontrollably. Dennis looked over at the window once more and noticed that the man and the woman were now gone.

The sounds of voices were heard at the front of the house. Then, the sounds of footsteps patting on the damp ground were heard and were followed by a door closing. Dennis immediately stood up despite he was shivering.

Come on, Nina!

Nina tried to stand up but all she could do was shiver uncontrollably. She had to wait for Dennis to help her up. She tried to follow Dennis but her feet started to numb. Dennis, wait for me! She called him.

Dennis groaned as he turned around to get Nina. He placed Ninas arm around him as he helped her walk. But before they could take another step, they heard a voice behind them.

What are you two doing here? The woman began in a demanding voice.

Nina and Dennis turned around to see the same woman who talked to the red haired man a while ago. She was clearly angry and she placed her hands on both of her hips. She was wearing a white blouse under a blue apron.

You two were peering inside a while ago. Explain. She demanded.

Dennis opened his mouth ready to explain but his voice immediately trailed off when the drizzle started to get stronger. The womans anger quickly subsided and turned into concern. She looked up above and then at the two.

Well what are you two waiting for? Come in before the rain becomes stronger!

Speechless, Dennis helped Nina walk up the steps to the backdoor of the house. The woman followed them as they went inside the warm, comfy kitchen. She pointed them to sit down on one of the three chairs encompassing a round table.

Dennis helped Nina sit down as he noticed the woman quickly exit the kitchen. He then sat next to her on one of the chairs. The woman returned in the kitchen carrying thick, warm blankets. She handed them each a blanket, helping Nina with hers.

Do you kids want anything? Hot chocolate or something?

Dennis and Nina shook their heads. Dennis placed the blanket around him at the same time. He looked around the kitchen, noticing pots and pans and the clean surface of the white, tiled counter. Water was boiling in a kettle, making it whistle loudly above the flaming stove on the corner.

The woman quickly turned off the flaming stove and took the kettle and poured steaming water in a mug. She then took the mug and walked slowly towards the two. She sat in front of them and sipped from the mug. A string was hanging from the mug, indicating that there was tea. After she finished drinking, she placed the mug on top of the table.

So, why were you kids peeking? She asked them with a stern look on her face.

Nina was the first to reply. Im really sorry, maam. You see, my friend here was stalking that man who came here and

Nina! Dennis interrupted her.

The woman looked at them sternly. Stalking? You were stalking?

He was. I was trying to stop him but he wouldnt listen to me Nina replied as she crossed her arms in order to get warm. Im really sorry, maam.

The woman eyed Dennis suspiciously, who just looked over at the side, ignoring her. So youre Dennis

Dennis quickly jerked his head towards her with a shocked expression. How did you know my name?

The woman smiled as she stroked her hair. Your friend was yelling at you when she was leaving behind. She laughed. So, Dennis. What was your actual intention?

He didnt reply but instead turned around again, ignoring the woman.

Youre so stubborn, The woman laughed. I expect that from trainers these days. She then turned over to Nina. So you were saying that you two were following the man who visited me?

Nina nodded. We were. Who was he?

The woman smiled. She stroked her long, dark brown hair once more. Heshes the closest person I know

Your husband?

No She sighed. I love himbut were not married yet.

Nina fell silent but then she immediately asked another question. We saw him when we were going to Saffron city and

And he was thereI know. By the way, we havent introduced ourselves properly. Im Blue. She then pointed towards Nina. And if Im not mistaken, youre Nina She moved her finger towards Dennis. And youre Dennis.

Nina had to nudge Dennis since he was lost in thought. Dennis snapped out of his trance immediately. What? Oh, yeah. Dennis, thats me. Dennis Oak

Blue looked at Dennis even more suspiciously. DennisOak She muttered under her breath.

My name bothering you lady? Dennis rudely interjected.

Blue snapped out of her thinking position and looked up at Dennis. Hm? Oh, no, not at all. Its just that your name sounds very familiar. Say, Dennis. Are you from Pallet town?

Dennis looked at her rashly. Yeah, whyd you ask?

A wide smile immediately spread around Blues face. I knew it! I knew it! Youre her son!

Whose son?

Yellows kid! I cant believe it, its you! Blue exclaimed as she lunged forward to see Dennis eye to eye.

Dennis looked at her as if she was a deranged woman. Listen lady, youre kinda freaking me out right now

Oh, right. Im sorry Blue kept smiling as she returned to her seat.

Nina looked at Blue. Do youdo you know Dennis parents? She asked.

Know them? Of course I do! I knew them ever since I was a kid myself! I was there when

Dennis interrupted her before she could utter another word. Hey, lady. Do you have a kid who lives here? Dennis was pointing to a picture that was held by a magnet on the surface of the refrigerator, which was on one corner of the kitchen.

Dennis! Nina yelled before she could scold him of his rude interjection.

Blues cheerful expression immediately changed from glee to sorrow. No, no. Its okay, Nina. Hes rightII do have a daughter

Is she a trainer? Dennis asked immediately.

She shook her head and wiped a tear that was about to stream down her eye. No, no She let out a small sob. She doesnt want to be a trainer She took out her handkerchief from her pocket on her apron.

Then what happened to her? Dennis insisted.

Dennis! Stop asking her questions! Nina pulled Dennis sleeve. She then faced the woman who was about to burst into tears. Im sorry, Blue. Dennis is really

Its fine, She sniffed as she wiped tears. My daughter was kidnapped by one of those dragon armies She sighed and then continued. Thats why the man you saw was so intent on finding her. To tell you the truth, I loved that man before but he never loved me back. He just found me for comfortand thats all. But when he knew that I was pregnant with his daughter, he changed Her voice trailed off.

Before Nina or Dennis could say another word, she continued. He cared for her and he grew to accept my love for him. But he never really wanted to get married even though I pleaded. But when our daughter was kidnapped, he was enragedand he wanted to get her back

Silence pervaded the room. The rain was pouring outside. The water tapped loudly on the panes of the window. Steam covered the windows and water began to form on the surface.

He hated himself for letting that happen

Im sorry Nina whispered. Wewe shouldnt have followed him

But then, Blue smiled again after she wiped her final tears. No, everything is fine. Her smile immediately overcame the sadness that clung in the kitchen. So would you two like to stay here for the night?

I wouldnt Dennis began but Nina immediately disrupted him.

Sure, Blue! Wed love to! She was wearing a wide smile herself as she replied.

Blue stood up and placed her handkerchief back in her pocket. That would be great! Ill ready the beds

Dennis was already talking to Nina before Blue could finish the sentence. Nina, Im not staying with this weird woman!

Overhearing this, Blue stood in front of Dennis. My, my, Dennis. Your mother wouldnt be so proud if she heard you say that!

Look, lady. Im really not into sleepovers anymore and

When you were a baby, Dennis, you were so cute. But now youve grown up, youre very, very coarse. Blue smirked.

Dennis blushed as Nina giggled. Shut up, lady!

Dont call me lady!

I call you what I want to call you!

Dont you have any respect for your mothers best friend?

I never knew my mom had a best friend!

Nina was caught in the middle of the battle of words as she smiled weakly. It was as if the two knew each other before. Blue had an expression of anger mixed with happiness. It was as if she was going to laugh at Dennis at any moment.

~*~*~*~

Is Dennis always like that? Blue asked Nina as she spread the covers on the bed of the guest room. Hes so coarse. Hes never like his mother.

Ohhes always like that. But he used to be a bit kinder before Nina replied. I missed that Dennis back then Nina was sitting on one of the two beds in the guest room. She was wearing pajamas that Blue lent her and Dennis was in the bathroom. The shower can be clearly heard. Blue

Yep?

What was your daughters name? She asked her.

Blue sighed as she finally set the pillow on top of the bed. Her name is Alyssa.

What about her father? Nina questioned. That man that was here before

Blue smiled. His names Silver. He might not look like it but hes very kind. Blue walked towards the door. Now, Im going off to sleep. You kids dont do anything stupid, okay?

Okay! Nina smiled back with a small giggle.

Blue immediately went outside of the room, leaving Nina alone. She immediately moved towards her bed and tucked her self. She looked up in the ceiling, wide-eyed, and awake. She couldnt sleep but just waited for Dennis to finish.

She heard the creaking of the faucet and the water ceasing. After a few minutes, she heard the door open and Dennis came out with his pajamas. He noticed that she was still awake.

Not sleepy? He muttered as he walked towards his bed.

No Came Ninas reply. Im not sleepy at all

A long pause was followed as she heard Dennis pulling the covers away and then she heard him walk towards the light switch.

Nina He began.

She looked towards him and she had a stern look on his face. Yeah?

NinaI want you stop following me. Dennis demanded. I dont want you following me around ruining my opportunities.

Ruining your opportunities? Since when did I do that? Ninas voice rose as she sat up from the bed.

Today! You were always slow and you almost got us killed when you went back to Saffron just to blow up that gate!

Nina scowled. Dont you think that there were people there? If I didnt blow up that gate, many people wouldve been killed!

I know that but why do you have to go back just to save them? Dennis insisted. You serve no purpose in my life Nina. Ever since youve decided to stop going into the League, you just made me think that you were nothing in my life now.

Nina was shocked to hear what Dennis was saying. DennisIm your best friendIm not just some battle rival

Youre missing the point, Nina! Dennis yelled. You are my rival. I have no friends and I only have rivals. Get it?

So thats the main reason why you hated me? That was it? Just because Im not your rival anymore? She yelled back. Dennis, no matter what, Im still traveling with you!

Nina, leave me alone. Youre just some person I carry around. You slow me down especially when you have to drag Vincent with us! If you like him so much, why dont you go with him and not me?

Nina had to not say another word. She couldnt basically believe that her best friend in the worldwould find her useless. Such harsh words were basically not human or true. She simply lay down again and closed her eyes tightly. She heard the lights being turned off and then she heard Dennis slipping back into his bed.

Im still going to follow you, Dennis! She muttered out loud. I know youre not the Dennis I know before. Ill get it out of you someday!

Whatever His reply was in a soft mutter.

She was confident that someday, Dennis would return to his old self rather than this. If only she could say it to him
