Chapter 15: Gym battle Aftermath
(From the perspective of Kitsune, the ninetales)
My body was numb. I felt weak and tired. My eyelids were too heavy to open. I could barely move. What had happened? I remember. I had been hit quite badly in a gym battle. Not just once, all three attacks had hit hard without giving me a chance to brace myself. How long had it been?

Kitsune! I heard the voice. A human females voice, punctuated with sobbing, but it sounded familiar Lilac, Ive should have never made you fight in that gym battle. Youve been unconscious for more than a full day. Please wake up from whatever dream youre having, I dont think I could handle it if your twitching this time wasnt you starting to wake up. I failed as a pokmon trainer, but I dont want you to suffer because of it You were too weak to have the operation to allow you to breath fire again. Its all my fault.

Im fine, hearing my own voice sounding much better than I felt, helped me regain some strength. I tried to stand up; the numbness had faded enough to feel that Lilac had just moved to avoid being in the way. It felt as if I was rocking side-to-side, unsteady on my feet. It was unacceptable to show such weakness. I tried to compensate, but all I managed to do was fall.

A giggle. She wasnt worried anymore. If I hadnt been told what sort of mental tampering she had been through, I would have probably ignored the mood change.

You need to rest, not try to be perfect the moment you wake up, Lilac stroked my fur, and then hugged me, opening your eyes might also help a bit. Were on a boat again, so I cant blame you for falling over. Most people do when they arent expecting the boat to sway. Just relax a bit. Too much stress will make your fur fall out.

I opened my eyes. Something was in-between my paws. It was small, yellow, with red cheeks, black ears, and black bent tail. A pichu No, it didnt smell like one. I had to bite it to be sure my sense of smell wasnt deceiving me. No blood, no flavour of anything to suggest it was edible or was ever alive.

I got you that while I went shopping with Ryan. A nice little toy for you, I finally looked at her. It would have been startling if I werent aware of how humans wore clothing. She was no longer wearing pink. Her shirt was an aqua blue and her dress was a dark purple, he thought itd help you relax. Hes been quite helpful, though he was a bit keen about getting us on a boat to Dewford. He couldnt battle against Roxanne because of how badly you hurt that geodude, and he wanted us to go with him to the next gym I have no clue why he wants to keep us all so close to him.

Ryan wasnt stupid enough to let me get out of his watchful eye. With what I knew I could easily destroy him. He cant even afford to get rid of me because there is no telling who else I told It was then I looked up at the room we were in. It was small, too small for comfort. The walls were just white, and the floor was too. It didnt feel like we were alone in the room, but I was too weak to try looking around.

Whatever happened to Omega and that stupid absol who thinks hes psychic? I asked chewing on the toy I had been given. There was a flash of yellow in the corner of my eye. My mind was probably playing tricks on me. Ignoring was the only option, that absol made three predictions and all three times he was wrong. He must be feeling quite down upon realizing how useless he is

I remembered Biohazard, the umbreon who had fought before me in the gym battle. Why should I think of him? Why does it feel like his defeat was my fault? No one could have survived what he went through.

There was a creaking sound. It was an unnatural sound and thus most likely from a man-made object. Perhaps it was the door, but I wasnt facing in that direction. There was a movement in the air, and I could smell the presence of Ryan, yet there was also the smell of a pichu, though it was probably in my head again.

I just came in to check on you two, Ryans voice showed no angry, hatred, or fear as someone at the mercy of another should feel. How dare he act like I wasnt a threat, and even sound concerned? Omega and Katar are both showing some improvement, and Ive got Thorn to entertain Biohazard. That umbreon is too energetic for anyone else to handle. How much improvement is Kitsune showing?

It couldnt be possible. I wanted to shout it out. He had to be dead. This whole thing had to be a dream if he was alive.

Kitsune I forgot to mention what else happened while you were unconscious, Lilac seemed to ignore Ryan, just talking to me, we found out why Biohazard got his name, more specifically I was a little slow on figuring it out so Katar found out first hand. Katar fell ill quite quickly and hes still recovering, though he wasnt too bad compared to you. I did make a little potion thatll make us all immune to such effects in the future but it takes a few days to build up the immune system. This was while you were recovering in your Pokball, since with all the walking around we were doing it would have been inappropriate to have you out.

My Pokball? Yes, I had told her she could try if I failed the gym battle but I never expected to lose or for her to have the nerve to do such a thing. I dont feel bound to her will because of it. Still the ball may become quite an inconvenience if Lilac also develops the nerve to keep me in it.

Omega, on the other hand, seemed fine till he got on this boat. I never thought hed get sea sick, but it happened anyway. Ryan offered to take care of them, plus Biohazard so I could spend all my time with you. Quite nice of him, especially with how youd pick on them if you got better first, and theyd do the same to you.

I felt another presence, apart from Ryan, Lilac, and hallucination of a pichu that now seemed to brush against my fur. I forced myself to turn towards Ryan and the door. A Skarmory stood silently behind him.

Ah, so this is Kitsune. I thought you said she was supposed to be a good fighter? it looked towards Ryan, whose face was turning red, then towards me with its cold, cruel eyes, so, Ninetales, what happened? What made you ruin my chance of fighting in the gym battle and yet fail to get a gym badge yourself?"

Thorn, what are you doing here? Ryan seemed surprised and shocked at the skarmorys presence, youre meant to be watching Biohazard!

He um knocked himself out on me, Thorn seemed to grin. Pokmon dont grin like that unless they learned it from a human, just like you said he did against Roxannes Geodude.

Wed better check on Biohazard, I think hes hurt or something, Ryan spoke as he turned to the door, though Lilac got out first as she didnt waste time repeating what the skarmory had said, Thorn you keep an eye on Kitsune. Do a better job than you did with Biohazard.

He closed the door behind him. I was alone with a pokmon I didnt know, while not being strong enough to fight back.


Itll all your fault, you know, Thorn laughed, circling me, I was looking forward to a good fight, but you got there first and ruined it. Then I got stuck with babysitter duty with that insane umbreon. He is the most annoying creature I have ever met, especially since its so hard to get a hold of him to punish him. He was always going on about how he is immortal, nothing can touch him, claiming the fact he escaped the gym battle with only a few cuts and bruises. How can one faint and be removed from battle with so little injuries? Hes your fault because if you were better hed be annoying you instead of me

Please, you really think you can make connections between events, I couldnt help myself; it would have made me seem too weak if I didnt, youre clearly too stupid to think this through properly. You didnt get to fight a gym battle because Ryan was foolish enough to let me go first. You were stuck with Biohazard because Ryan is such a nice guy. Yet, it is really your fault more than Ryans. It is you who allows yourself to be a slave to him. Also you are the only one with metal armour to protect yourself from Biohazard, thus it is your feathers fault too that you had to look after him.

Thats enough! Thorn screeched, flapping his wings and chagrining at me. I was knocked over and he stood on my belly, rear end towards my face, talons digging in. The weight on one of them increased as he lifted the other one to grab one of my tails. He squeezed it tight, time for you to suffer, I wonder why your kind protects your tails so much. I bet it hurts quite a lot when they are squeezed.

I wasnt strong enough to push him off. I tried to focus a thousand year curse for him to suffer but it didnt come. I felt like I was about to pass out from the pain. I actually got a glimpse of a pichu trembling in a corner of the room, frightened of the violent skarmory. The pichu began to spark

The flash of electricity hit Thorn directly, and I felt it go through me as well, or more like just through my fur. I should have felt a shock too, but all I got was to see the skarmory stumble off me.

Over here quick, I whispered to it, knowing now that it was real not an illusion. Why it was here wasnt important, hell kill you once he recovers.

The pichu ran, and the smell of fear was stronger now. Escaping an angry pokemon thatd eat it once it recovers by running to another pokemon with sharp teeth is probably scary. Not like my kind ever went through things like that, we are just superior and dont suffer like weaker species. I got back onto my feet as quick as I could, and with a small pounce, caught the pichu in my jaws. I let go and held it with my paws along with the toy one, just in time to hide it from Thorn.

Who shocked me? Thorn screamed, anger as was expected. Of course a mere pichu couldnt of done anything more than cause pain for him, show yourself!

Hey, I could feel more energy coming back to me, not enough to put up a fight, but enough to make my tails wag. What I said next was more of a joke than a lie, though I couldnt tell why I would say it. It wasnt the time for jokes and its not like I had any reason to protect the pichu, I though Ryan told you about me. I cant breath fire but I can manipulate lightning.

Youre losing a tail now. You should have just fainted instead of trying to fight in your state, he jumping on me again, though this time I resisted being knocked over. I held to pichu tight, pushing on its chest only just enough to make it impossible for it to make a sound. A sudden pain in one of my tails came once again. It was different this time, it felt like a sawing sensation. It felt like there was also a hot liquid oozing over my fur around that tail. He was chewing my tail off.

The door creaked open again and Thorn let me go. There was a moment of shocked silence.

Oh, uh, Ryan! he tried to cough my fur out of his beak, What are you doing here?

I came to check on Kitsu-is that blood on your beak? Thorn, did you bite Kitsune?! Ryan ran to me, looking all over me, not noticing I now had two pichu toys, before noticing one of my tails was what was injured.

No, it wasn't like that. You see-

Thorn, you tried to bite her tail off! There's nothing else that you could have been doing besides that. Go get Lilac, I'll try to stop Kitsune from bleeding everywhere.

The real pichu tried to whimper as I tightened my grip on it to help deal with the pain of Ryan tending to my tail. It had already proven worth more than the toy one No need to ask for its name, itd only make me feel guilty since itd only be a friend till I got hungry.

Till then, I had to keep my snack hidden from all others.

Good chapter, as with the others I still have catching up to do...a bit of grammatical errors and confusion, but either than that, I liked the addition of the Pichu. Forgive me if I manipulated the chapter too much, just for my favorite pokemon's sake.

Yay another review! You didn't really influence my chapter that much, pichu has always struck me as a good chew toy for larger, cruel pokemon. I have no idea why this is, I supose I could of used a different baby pokemon instead but then it wouldn't fit with the reason the pichu was there (Wait for the next chapter to find out) as well as it does with pichu.

Chapter 16: Beginning a circle.
(From the perspective of the Pichu)
I could feel electricity flowing through every wire of this human construction. Feel its progress to do tasks. It was like a sound too loud to block out, though it was uncomfortable once I had the chance to get used to it. I even could feel weaker electrical currents through it. The nervous system of any living creature is alive with electricity. For every movement made, a burst of electricity had to be sent from the brain to the muscles. And the brain was always alive with electricity; each thought a burst of energy. The complexity of it all was so much that it seemed impossible to understand, but still I was able to see basic concepts within a mind. My parents and siblings just never put the effort in to figure it out.

Changes were happening too quickly to be normal in the ninetales mind, emotions instantly being switched. Kitsune had gone from caring for my safety to think I was a toy. She held me tight for a while till the male human left, which was a little while after the female one arrived. It was then she started to toss me around, always catching me in her jaws before I hit the ground. I was never given the chance to escape.

I stopped struggling because of how hopeless it was but it was obvious why she wasnt eating me. I was too much fun for her while I struggled. Still Id only survive so long, I needed to escape. I needed help from somebody. I had seen no pokemon here but the ninetales and the skarmory.

I had no one left to ask. Running from danger to danger had finally caught up with me. I had watched my family be killed and eaten by a family of delcatty while one of the skittys of the family merely toyed with me because it wasnt hungry. I dont remember how I managed to escape that, but I must have done something terrible to it, as it was the only one who didnt chase me as I ran. I escaped them by getting onto this place that floats across water. If I stopped running then, and didnt search for a place to hide then I wouldnt have run into this ninetales.

It was a while before I saw anyone else to try to talk to. An absol staggered around later that day. It looked ill but I had to try. I let out a burst of electricity contain what I wanted to say, hoping itd understand. Talking like other pokemon wasnt an option for me. Yet all I got for a response was the ninetales clenching her jaws round me, sinking them into my flesh and a yelp from the absol. It was ove

Suddenly, there was a sound of a human voice, the female one. I couldnt understand the words but it seemed important, so I let my mind drift into focusing on her mind. Suddenly I understood what she was saying, Kitsune! Thats a live pichu! Put it down before you hurt the poor thing.

Amazingly the ninetales obeyed, and I fell to the ground. I did not run. Out there were many things thatd quickly make a meal of me. I just felt like screaming out in frustration with the universe. I let my electricity burst out everywhere.

Um I think the pichu is speaking telepathically, there was fear in the ninetales voice, a fear of her mind being open to me. Still she understood, and no one else did, you didnt hear it did you, Lilac?

It just means you can understand electricity, it felt good to have someone to talk to after running so long. It was tiring talking though electricity but worth it, youre the only one here Ive seen who can.

Pichu, let my human pick you up, it feels like the boat has stopped and you need to have your injuries treated, Kitsunes fear was gone now she knew how I did it. Still she was being nice all of a sudden, I know the other trainer, Ryan, is probably rushing ahead as we speak to get the pokmon centre prepared for us.

I obeyed. There wasnt much choice. As the girl picked me up I forced my head into her chest to block out the sights and sounds of the world

It was all too soon that she put me down on a table. I looked around. It was another human building, presumably the pokmon centre. Beside me, but on the floor instead of on a table, was Kitsune with a bowl of strange round balls of food that humans often gave to pokmon.

Here have a piece if youre hungry, Kitsune said, and I jumped down to the ground. I quickly grabbed a piece to eat. It was nice but there was something wrong with it. Something about the tone of voice Kitsune had used. I suddenly felt sleepy, and as I drifted off I hear one last thing from Kitsune, I guess Ill have to eat it anyway if I want my tail to get better.


The pichu is almost completely mute. Itll never be able to talk to other pokmon in the way they do. Dont worry its not because of injury, it is merely a variation of the species that is sometimes seen. They only are able to communicate to other pokmon through electricity, usually this means only to electric pokmon, a few non-electric species, but there are the odd occurrence of other pokmon being sensitive enough to electrical fields too, and even one or two humans that can understand it. Since no one reported a lost pichu it is safe to assume this one is a feral one that happened to sneak onto the ship, so technically its yours now.

I felt what was meant instead of the words themselves again. It was a human speaking, the human who gave Kitsune the food. It felt weirder this time hearing what she meant to say in my head, as I knew some of what I picked up was from before I had been woken up by her actual voice.

I suppose Ill have to accept that, Lilac sighed. I was in her arms, and I had to look around. Sure enough the ninetales was close by with the bowl of uneaten food held in her jaws. Not that I blame her for not eating it, it was clearly tainted as it caused sleep, the problem was her reasons keeping it at all. Come on Kitsune, we better meet with Ryan for dinner. By now hell of thought of how to punish Thorn for injuring your tail.

It took no time to find the other human. There was a strange feeling about him now that I focused on him, but it didnt seem threatening, nor had I worked out what it meant. I didnt try to understand the two humans conversations from the moment Lilac put my down on the ground. How could anything they said of been more interesting than another talk with Kitsune?

Why have you kept the tainted food? I spoke through a jolt of electricity into her fur. There was the yelp of surprise from a mightyena, still Kitsune wouldnt let anyone hurt me so it wasnt worth paying much attention to that, how do you intend to make it safe to eat?

Ill tell you if you do a little favour for me, she was suddenly right in my face baring her teeth and growling quietly, her tongue licking her white fangs. Some of the growling was from her stomach. It wasnt a favour she was really asking for. It was an alternative to being dinner that she was offering, sneak as much of it as you can into the skarmorys meal.

Easy. I used to steal food without notice, so giving food should be just as easy. I picked up a piece in my food and turned to run with it to Thorn. It no longer seemed easy, everyone was watching, ready to spring to save me from Kitsune. I could not act when they were expecting something. At least not in the way I first hoped.

I dived back behind the bowl, and began pushing it towards the skarmory. It was hard work to move something that big, and certainly slow. No time to tell Kitsune what I expected from her. I had to rely on her to act how any carnivorous pokemon acted when its food was being stolen. I was not let down

Hey, thats my food! she barked, as she pounced on me, picking me up in her jaws. It felt like she was really going to bite me in two for a moment, but I resisted panicking. She tossed me away. I was helpless in the air till there was the feel of metal talons grabbing me. It was quite a shock to me when I saw that Kitsune had her head in the bowl, slowly eating a little of the food. I then heard her mutter with her mouth full, nobody steals my food, especially to try giving it to a sadistic skarmory. Next one to try it will feel the full force of my power not like anyone would stay conscious long enough to see.

Youre still weak from your failing at Rustboro, so stop talking so tough. Maybe a night without dinner will kill your attitude. Nothing else seems to, Thorn laughed, as he held me. His grip tightened, though only because he was more focused on Kitsune than me. He leapt. Ramming Kitsune out of his way would probably have been easy anyway, but it was made easier by her muscles all relaxing at the last possible moment before impact. I could sense it, Thorn couldnt. He fell right into the trap and began scoffing the food. He had finished all of it before even starting to feel the effects.

Thanks Lilac for teaching me that trick, it always carries the element of surprise, Kitsune yawned as the skarmory collapsed to the ground, with me barely able to struggle from its talons even when it was out cold. The tainted food had taken its toll. Kitsune slowly curled up on the ground, slowly dropping to sleep. Thus I was alone. No one else here could understand me. All I could do was listen, as the two humans came running to tend to the sleeping pokmon.

Lilac, Ryan spoke, as he crouched down beside Thorn, I understand Kitsune did this to get revenge, but I have a feeling shes planning something more. There must be something to do to allow us to have warning as to Kitsunes next move; its difficult to know what to do. Perhaps leaving them both out of their balls would be best, if only we had something to make that safe for Thorn.

Yes, I could see the problem. Within a pokball Thorn would be just as helpless as he was while in an induced sleep, with the difference hed be easier to take to a place where the rest of the revenge would be harder to interfere with. Putting Kitsune in a pokball wouldnt work either; itd only take one of the pokmon here to let her out for her to implement whatever she had planned. And I knew of at least one pokmon thatd do it.

Dont worry; Im sure we can find a bell to tie to her neck. Thatll make sure that we hear her whenever she tries to move. As long as one of us is a light enough sleeper to be woken by it everything will be fine. The more pokmon around, the more likely one will be woken Id prefer to have a locked room to put one in, but that isnt going to be a possibility so well have to manage with what we have.

So many other pokmon around, one of which would have to be safe to snuggle with through the night. There was a strange one with paint oozing from its tail approaching me. It was certainly smaller than most of the other pokmon around, and looked rather cheerful.

Hi, want to be friends? its voice had a tone of friendliness, matching its words. For it being willing to be friends with me was enough. I jumped at it and I was certain I was asleep before impact


There was movement. I snapped awake. Even in the dark I could see the ninetales walking over to the skarmory, her tails wagging slowly with malicious intent. How did everyone else sleep while such emotion filled the air? A small bell tied round her neck sparkled in the low light though it remained silent, the reason for which was probably linked to its deformed shape and the fact there was a fading red glow to it.

I could do nothing but watch. I couldnt risk going against her, I would only live till I ceased being amusing for her. Still, there was no hate emanating from her, as if she would be willing to accept friendship once they were even. Nothing would change the fact she intended to make Thorn suffer and she was smart enough not to make it possible for anyone willing to interfere even know till after it was done.

A blue glow came off her tails as she sat beside him; the tails movements seemed to become more controlled, less natural. The glow began to arc off the tails, swirling together into orbs of unnatural fire. There were only a few such orbs, but they grew. Each one became large enough to totally engulf me. A scary thought, even if the fox didnt intend to use them on me. One mistake could send one my way.

The orbs of fire floated down on to the skarmorys side. It didnt take long for the feathers to start to glow red, slowly melting Whack! I didnt even see Kitsune prepare such an attack, but I saw it hit. One glowing white tail that splashed the partially melted metal around Even if Kitsune was willing to be friends after this, I doubt Thorn ever will. Itll lead into a circle of vengeance, always growing stronger without end till one of the two is no more.

Chapter 17: Plots and Schemes
Chapter guest written by GoGoTenda.
Bleary eyes opened and stared up towards the sky. The world around him was foggy, but it slowly regained its typical sharpness as the metal bird blinked a few times. His great beak opened in a yawn, and he stretched his wings. Or, just one of them. Rightly confused, Thorn attempted to move his stationary wing, but began to panic when he could not spread his feathers apart, Whats going on? Something is wrongwait, are they melted together?! his voice rose in a mix of anger and yet more confusion. Such a thing had never happened to him, and he didnt remember when it might have occurred. Frantic, Thorn leapt to a standing position and desperately tried to move his left wing, which failed to move an inch. He squawked a few words that would have made other pokemon blush. After more failed attempts, Thorns mind went to the next step: find Ryan. Thorn began to run through the rooms, looking for his trainer.

Ryan was lying on a simple bed, reading what appeared to be a trainers magazine. His face was in fact red from hearing Thorns outburst, but he had yet to notice the actual problem, Thorn, you know saying those sorts of things arent all that bright. Lilac could have understood you had she been in the room. Ryan turned a page and continued reading as Thorn stood beside him, dumbfounded. The trainer seemed to look past the paper for a moment, then reached for a new pokeball that was beside him. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. This morning I went and got-

Ryan! You pathetic idiot of a trainer! Look at what someone did to my wing! Thorn forced his left side into Ryans line of sight.

Ryan seemed to study the damage for a minute before his jaw dropped slightly, The whole wing is melted together. Doesnt that hurt? A lot? Ryan began to question Thorn, pushing himself up from the bed and moving towards the door out of the room.

Knowing that Ryan would help now, Thorn began to relax, Not really. Ive been trying to move it, but it hasnt been hur-ARGH! Ryan ran his finger down the length of the wing, causing Thorns entire body to go rigid with pain. The skarmorys breathing became faster and louder, then gently slowed and returned to normal as the pain subsided, that one hurt.

Come on, Thorn. We should go talk to the Nurse, Ryan opened the door fully and allowed Thorn to enter the hall. Thorn ran down the hallway as Ryan closed the door and then followed at a reasonable clip. The bird skidded to a stop in the lobby area and headed for the Nurses reception desk. Ryan was right behind him and hit the bell when he reached the desk itself. Within seconds, Nurse Joy had appeared while Thorn shifted anxiously the whole while, um, miss? It looks like someone melted my Skarmorys wing. Is there anything we can do?

Thats awful! Their feathers can get damaged from heat in battle, but this is a fairly severe case, Nurse Joy walked out from around the counter and kneeled next to Thorn. She gently tried to lift the wing from the body, watching Thorns face as he fought to contain a shriek, this had to be intentionalbut yes, I can treat this. Theres a fairly simple operation but, unfortunately, it isnt free, Ryan nodded, and Thorn pulled his wing from the womans fingers, if youd like, I can give you an estimate?

No, thats okay. Just please go ahead and do the operation. Ill be able to pay in full. Ryan smiled timidly, which was returned by Joy. She motioned for them to follow into a back room, and they obeyed. Thorn was helped onto an operating table, lying on his stomach with his mangled wing easily accessible. Joy explained the basics of the procedure and recommended that Ryan allowed Thorn to be put under. Thorn gave Ryan a look that said that he would prefer it to be pain-free, and Ryan agreed to an anesthetic. As Thorn felt his eyelids begin to droop, he felt Ryans hand on the top of his head and faintly heard a few words which he assumed to be comforting. Then, everything was as black as night.


He was out of the operating room in the same day, but with a large amount of cloth bandage around his newly reformed wing. After taking a short nap to combat the aftereffects of the pain killer, Thorn was brought a few pieces of fruit by Ryan (who refused to let Thorn know how much the operation had cost). He tried to listen as Ryan explained what was going to happen the rest of the day, but zoned in and out. What Ryan really said was as follows:

Thorn, Im going to leave you here with pretty much all the other pokemon with us right now. Lilac, Bug, and I are going into town to buy a few things and so I can get the badge from the Dewford Gym. We shouldnt be gone all that long; the battle will be quick and shopping should be short. Sketch will be here in case you need anything, and so will someone else. I was about to tell you this morning before I noticed what was wrong. Anyway, this morning I went and had Cinder transferred from Elms to the Center. I thought that Cinder would really like to be with us instead of at the Lab, and he agreed whole-heartedly. Hes in charge while Im gone, so listen to him. Otherwise, just try to rest so you can heal. Its okay if you arent in battle shape for Slateport, but we could use our ace at Fortree. Sleep well, Thorn, after stroking the Skarmorys beak a few times, Ryan was off to the gym with Lilac and Bug in tow. Almost immediately, Thorn fell asleep.


Hey, Thorn, how are you doing? the Skarmorys eyes opened and were greeted with an actually welcome sight. A large Typhlosion, naturally imposing, was smiling down at him with the most un-fearsome expression possible. Thorn managed a tiny laugh while still under the effects of the drug, heh hehHi there, Cinder, Cinder chuckled and sat down next to the metal bird, sending small vibrations through the ground. The vibrations caused Thorns free wing shake slightly, and his feathers made a sound like windchimes, so, that ninetales go the best of you, huh? Well, you did try to bite her tail offalls fair in love and war, I suppose.

It was not war, and it definitely isnt love. Shes a demon in foxs clothing, perhaps the very epitome of evil.

Aw, Thorn has a girlfriend, Cinder reached over and punched Thorn gently in the shoulder, drawing his hand back quickly when Thorn playfully snapped at him, ooh, I might just lose a finger from the love bird, they laughed a bit, but Thorn stopped and winced when his wing start to hurt.

What did Ryan tell you so far? You obviously already know what happened today, Thorn grimaced and fought back the pain that threatened to bring him to tears.

Well, he told me why were here. He also told me everything he knew about Lilac and her pokemon. Like, he told me that that Biohazard would probably do something idiotic within seconds of them leaving. The umbreon did so, and is now lying in a peaceful sleep with Sketch and the pichu nearby. Katar said some thoroughly uninteresting premonition type things before running off. I believe Omega is with him, and Kitsune is down there with Sketch as well. Probably still recovering from what you did to her, she is. Ryan said he was going to the gym with Lilac and Bug, and that they would be gone for awhile because of a few things Lilac wanted to pick u,. Thorn sighed as Cinder confirmed his fear that the two trainers really were too far away to help in case things got bad. Sensing this and that Thorn still needed rest, Cinder stood up to leave, Im going to go make sure that Sketch and the pichu are alright. We dont need anymore injuries, do we? with that, the typhlosion walked a little ways away and down the side of a hill. Apparently, Ryan had left Thorn on top of a small hill so that he would be able to watch what was going on without being close enough to be disturbed. There was also a gentle breeze that carried the scent of all the pokemon down below.

Cinder reached the clearing where most of the others were gathered. Sketch and the pichu, whom Sketch had begun a habit of calling Chu Chu, were rolling across the grass as Sketch laughed childishly. Though the Pichu couldnt emulate the sound, happiness was evident in the way it moved and smiled. Shifting his gaze to Biohazard, Cinder sighed and then moved on to someone less asleep. Kitsune was watching him with one eye, apparently trying to rest still. Hoping to start things off well with the fox, Cinder spoke, Im sorry about what Thorn did to you. Sometimes, he just gets really carried away. He wont bother you now that you melted his feathers together.

The large pokemon turned his head and caught Sketchs eyes with his own. As the smeargle smiled broadly and broke away from Chu, Cinder charged and gave a mock roar. He caught Sketchs legs with his arms and lifted the smeargle into the air and then held him so that Sketch dangled behind him. Sketch was laughing wildly with excitement, thrilled to be able to play with Cinder again. Eventually, Cinder gently dropped Sketch, who landed gracefully and then charged the typhlosion. He wrapped his arms around the bulk before him and pushed with all his might. After a minute or so, Sketch collapsed at Cinders feet, panting heavily; Cinder had yet to move or even break a sweat. Good try, Sketch. Youll get there eventually, Chu had been standing off to the side, watching the two roughhouse. Sketch staggered to his feet and then rushed Chu, who let out a tiny charge in surprise before turning tail and leading Sketch away.

Over near Kitsune, a lone figure stepped out of the bushes. It was Katar, and he held a vaguely unnerving air about him. Cinder was suspicious of the absol, his motives, and his intent. Katar bent to speak into Kitsunes ear, and both her eyes opened in apparent surprise. Katar smiled a devils smile and darted off the way he had come. Kitsune quickly stood and followed after him with great speed; she would not let her reputation be falsely destroyed. Cinder watched them go without any idea of what Katar had said, but he assumed that it was really nothing to worry about and went back to watching Sketch and Chu.

In a few minutes, Omega burst from the way Kitsune had went with an apparently frantic look, "Hurry, come quick! I saw Kitsune with a whole bunch of Sketch's stuff. I didn't like the look in her eye either, I think shes jealous, Cinder raised an eyebrow, but heard Sketch break from his mock fight with Chu and scamper over to where Omega stood. The dog was shifting as if nervous, or with excitement.

Chu ran over to stand next to Sketch, who looked at Omega and spoke, Show me where! There was a tone of anger in Sketchs voice that Cinder had heard only on a few occasions. Wait, I thought Ryan said that Sketch was afraid of Omega? He must be really upset to override something like that. Omega was visibly startled at Sketchs defiance of fear, but began to run deeper into the wood nonetheless. It didnt take long before they found what Omega had been talking about. Kitsune was standing over a number of Sketchs paintings, and all of them were ablaze.

Oh, crap, were the only words Cinder could think of.

Kitsune turned to look at the crowd and attempted to explain, this wasnt me. Katar said I would be framed, and I had to protect my reputa- Sketch was already running towards with a shout of pure rage. Quickly, Cinder lunged and managed to grab Sketch by the scruff. Thinking that Sketch was disabled, Cinder almost toppled over when the smeargle began to drag him towards Kitsune.

Cinder shouted, Omega! Grab him or something! Hes going to tear her apart! Omega hesitated before pouncing on Sketch, knocking him to the ground. Cinders grip broke, and Sketch began to roll through the dirt with Omega on top of him. For the first time that he could remember, Cinder was watching Sketch actually snarl at another Pokemon, and then heard a yelp which he thought to be Omegas. The dust finally settled, and Omega was holding Sketch down with his teeth on the back of the Smeargles neck, good you got himwait, are you bleeding, Omega? a tiny trickle of red was running down Omegas right leg. Sketch was still struggling slightly, but stopped completely when he felt Omega nibbling the back of his neck.

Kitsune, do you know what could have happened? If Omega hadnt attacked Sketch, you could have lost your head. Quite literally, in fact. Why would you destroy his paintings? at that last phrase, Sketch struggled angrily against Omegas weight, but failed to free himself.

I told you, I didnt. Katar said I was going to be framed, so I came here to stop that from happening, Kitsune stepped away from the smoldering remains of the paintings, and Omega shifted uncomfortably, it had to be Katar. He would have made his own prediction come true by setting this up.

If you were going to be framed, why did you follow him instead of staying where you were? We cant be sure if any of what you said was true. You could just be blaming Katar for what you did, using him as a convenient scapegoat just because he isnt around, Cinder realized what he was saying, and was startled when he realized just how absent the absol was. Kitsune might be telling the truth. The real criminal secrets himself away while setting up someone at least a little more innocent to take the blame

Of course Im here. Im always around where theres trouble, Katars voice spoke from above them, yawning slightly. The absol was perched on a tree branch, watching the group with half-interest, "Kitsune, I only told you what you'd end up saying. It doesn't change whether you burned the paintings or not. I can't get visions of the non-living."

It was then that Sketch twisted his neck suddenly and clamped his teeth into Omegas forepaw. The Mightyena yowled and released his grip on the Smeargles neck. Sketch wriggled out from under him and then charged at Kitsune. His hands glowed before they elongated into shining blades of light: the guillotine attack. Cinder remembered the day that Sketch had learned the attack, which Ryan basically forbid to be used. A trainer had called out a Pinsir while Sketch was battling for Ryan. Predicting an attack completely different, Ryan had told Sketch to imprint the next move with the Smeargle signature attack. When the Pinsir used and failed to hit with guillotine, Sketch automatically used Sketch (the attack) in response. And now he was using the deadly move against Kitsune. Sketch swung his right arm towards Kitsunes throat when Omega blurted out It wasnt her! It was Katarand me. But mostly Katar, because hes the one who thought of this whole plan. Kitsune is innocent, Sketch had stopped his attack mid-swing, the very tip of the blade lightly touching Kitsunes neck. A single drop of red ran down the blade and fell to the ground. The guillotine disappeared and Sketch collapsed to the ground, panting.

Omega! It was just about to get good, and you had to go and tell everyone the truth, Katar leapt from the tree branch and landed gracefully on the ground, immediately next to Cinder. Cinder growled at him, but Katar merely stepped a little away from the typhlosion and otherwise ignored the threat. The exhausted Sketch looked at him with a tired anger that manifested itself in tiny cross hairs in his eyes. Katar noticed them and knew what they were: Lock-On. Immediately, wind began to whirl around the area, gathering at a spot in front of Katar. Sketch lifted a hand and directed it at the Absol, muttering Sheer Cold, while Katar swiped the blade on his head forward in response.

In a flash, Kitsune had leapt onto Sketch and completely enveloped him and herself with her tails. Each tail was glowing with the power of Iron Tail. Katars Razor Wind whipped towards them, slamming into Kitsunes shield and then continuing around it. Cinder grabbed Chu in his arms and turned his back to the weakened but still powerful wind. Omega tumbled a bit before managing to stand up against the force, and even Cinder was moved a few inches. When the huge amount of dust that had been stirred had settled, nothing remained of Katar except a chunk of ice where he had been standing last.

Kitsune stepped off of Sketch, who stood shakily and threw his arms around his protector. There was a sobbing sound, and Kitsune felt the strange feeling of water against her perfect fur. There was also a sort of aching from one of her tails. She turned her head to look, and saw the damage that Katar had caused. The one tail that Thorn had injured was bleeding because it wasnt able to use Iron Tail completely. Cinder made sure Chu was still with him and then walked to where Kitsune and Sketch were. Omega followed with his head and tail bowed a little, Is everyone okay, at least for the most part? Cinder had noticed Kitsunes tail and gave her an apologetic look before touching it with one finger. The tail pulled away and Kitsune tried not to growl in response to the pain, Kitsune, we cant go to the pokecenter for this because we dont have a trainer. You or I could cauterize it, or we can look for something to put on it. Otherwise, I think well have to wait for Ryan and Lilac to return.


Thorn sighed. It had been a while since Cinder had left, and nothing exciting had happened. A lone Zigzagoon had wandered up to the hill, but had frozen when it noticed Thorn. After a few minutes of the Zigzagoon standing motionless, it had decided that Thorn was not a threat, and had continued on its way. Not a threat. What a fool. If I wasnt hurt, he would have gone running home instead that little prancing walk thing it did. Thorn snorted as he remembered the incident, then turned his thoughts elsewhere. This injury Kitsune caused has made me miss yet another Gym, and I probably wont be needed in Slateport either. Ill need to find a way to pay her back for thisbut how? That pichu seems to be some sort of plaything to her, but is far too important when compared to prey that any predator would play with. I could tell her that wed be even if she promises to leave the pichu alone and just let me take it from her. Or I could always try to get close to Lilac; I can tell how much thatd make Kitsune squirm. Theres always the plan for me to get both her and Cinder at the same time. Kitsune for obvious reasons, and Cinder because of that love crack. Well see whos in love once I enact my revenge. Thorn laughed a sort of evil laugh, then laid his head down and chuckled himself to sleep.

Chapter 18: Kitsune: Good or Evil? Part One
I shouldnt have done it. Lilac was the only one who has ever been nice to me my whole life, and now Ive attacked Kitsune shell never accept me But I had to of done something, if I didnt that smeargle would of killed me. That I a certain of, my visions are always accurate unless I play a part in changing the results. I just cannot see the results of my interference till I actually interfere If only I could have had time to think of some other way to save myself.

Katar ran. There was nothing else to do. His white fur shimmered as the wind buffered against it, though the illusion of this wind was caused by his speed. To him it seemed like he was running against the wind when he knew he was running with it. Jumping from tree to tree, he did his best to combine speed with a lack of a trail thatd allow him to be tracked. It was not long before he stopped.

They are not following, puffing with exhaustion he mumbled to himself, or at least will not harm me if they are. Some times I wish I could see the full future not just the truly bad parts. I am alone but I do not see a period of painful loneliness, perhaps I will be happy with being alone.

Or perhaps you will not stay alone for long, a voice spoke from behind him, we both have a lot in common, we both see the future for one thing. The only problem with us becoming is that Im a representation of all that is good and see only the miracles of the future, while you are evil and see only the bad. Alas, I can still not bear to let you be alone, thus you could not see it happening. I blame my good nature for making my want to befriend you and most likely give you a chance to betray me in the near future

Katar turned to see the beautiful golden fur of a ninetales. There was a fading golden glow around it, as well as the fading figures of various unown around the ninetales. It was in the eyes that the flaw was; their blackness was so deep they seemed to try grasping at ones soul to tear it away.

Most would say youre far more evil than I could ever be, Katar hissed, going around to all sorts of wondrous events and trying to take credit is not good. Plus youve enslaved quite a few unown to enhance your abilities, temporarily banishing them to some empty plane of existence when youre not using them. Really, Huxian, you are more of a freak than a hero. At least my species all see the futu

Correction, your kind is usually just drawn to where disasters are about to happen, not see it in detail before hand. I know because I asked a few other absols since we last left and asked them about it. Still I understand your mistake since that witch who used to own you never let you meet any of your own kind, Huxians nine tails wagged in pleasure at Katars reaction of surprise to him referring to that lady as a witch. Yes, that assassin is really a witch. Its what they call evil humans with supernatural abilities, as far as I know, even if its just the ability to live over five hundred years without aging like she has. Not like you actually have been alive long enough to realize her age, but I certainly have.

Enough talk, lets just get down to why youre here. You came to me because of how miraculous it is for me to actually be desperate for company, thus came to rub it in my face, though that alone wouldnt have brought you so far. Youve come because youve some how heard of this hot white vixen with ninetales that is into violence, exactly the type you love. Too bad I can feel that shes going to bring some all mighty destructive event, something you certainly wouldnt like, good or not.

There are two beautiful white ninetales here? I could only sense the one whos to bring something of inexplicable wonder to the world, something not even I can even comprehend, Huxian stared at Katar, a few unown appeared around him and glowed for a moment, there is only one, isnt there? Its as if she has the potential to do both, itd probably mean we will have to compete to get her to turn to our side.

Actually, why not work together? Katar whimpered as he took a few steps back, I may be all for comprehendible destruction, but I'm not for incomprehensible destruction as it might include my death. Neither does competing with you sound like a good plan, since last time you broke all four of my legs with a single glance when Im meant to be immune to being telekinetically crushed like that. Trust me; you need my ability to make sure you dont just make things worse.


Are you sure this will work?

Some time had passed and a plan had been formed (after discussing old times and what they have been up to since). It was a cautious plan of just observing the full situation before thinking of anything else, but a plan none the less. The ninetales and absol walked with many unown floating around them releasing a golden glow that surrounded them at least from their perspective.

It has never failed me before so why do you doubt me? Huxian glared at Katar as they walked, youre the evil one not me. The unown will make it seem like we are not here. No being will be able to smell, hear or see us as long as the barrier is up. My powers are flawless.

It was not long before a mightyena came into sight, laying down in the grass, his ears as limp as his tail, Why could I not let Kitsune take the blame? I want her dead but I couldnt let it happen. Now I have to live with my punishment

Lets test your barrier then, Katar growled, walking towards Omega, even when he walked straight into Omegas line of sight there was no reaction, so far so good.

Yay! Katars back with a ninetales friend! a voice cried out from off to one side, turning Katar saw it was the umbreon Biohazard. He also noticed Omega jumping to his feet looking wildly around.

Where? Omega yelped, seeming to look right through Katar, are you sure hes here? Catching him seems to be the only way to get on Sketchs good side after what happened. Another ninetales would explain how Katar lit Sketchs stuff on fire for sure, but I dont see either of them.

Youre looking right at them, but since you seem to be blind at the moment Ill deal with them myself. Itll please Kitsune, Biohazard barked as he began to charge right at Huxian and Katar. Katar leapt easily out of the way, but wasnt looking to see how Huxian did. There was a thump as Biohazard continued to run straight into a tree.

I didnt need to see it to know Huxian only barely dodged that attack.

There is nothing there Omega sighed, Thorn was right you do have eye sight problems.

Its impossible, the ninetales panted, it is far more likely he was hallucinating that we are here than actually seeing us. He almost hit me too; the unown couldnt deflect him, as was my first instinct to try either. Leaping out of the way lacks the elegance I try to hold at all times. Now lets continue to where the ninetales is, the one whom I shall have no matter what I sense you are a little smug all of a sudden, whos going to get killed this time?

It is no one worth saving. Ill be sure to watch of course, but you need not worry yourself as it is no one Kisune actually knows. Thus attempting a rescue wouldnt help your chances much.


It was easy from there; no one else seemed able to see them as they went to the pokemon centre where they both felt the presence of the white ninetales. Walking in was easy.

It seems Kitsune is in a private recovery room, Im sure you know why, Huxian growled at Katar, baring his white fangs, I thought youd be telling me everything, yet you never mentioned this Im glad youre not disappointing me by actually being good. Still, you need to work on a bigger betrayal than this if we are to stay rivals.

Kitsune was attacked for destroying some artwork that had nothing more than sentimental value. Shes lucky to be alive, saved only because some stupid mutt wanted to take some of the blame Look, theres Cinder waiting outside the surgery door. Hes the typhlosion if you didnt know, and the smaller pokemon are waiting with him.

The typhlosion lay curled up on the floor with a smeargle and a pichu snuggled into his fur. All three looked sad; tears were in the eyes of the smaller pokemon, while Cinder looked to be doing his best to push some guilt out of his mind. On the other side of the room stood a large Skarmory, staring at the ground mumbling to itself while looking quite annoyed.

Sorry, Im about to show off. I cant help it in these circumstances as its such a miracle, Huxian barked loudly, though no one around looked in their direction, if there is no interference then this Kitsune and Cinder will fall in love with each other, developing into a closer relationship than is usually acceptable between different species as long as neither of us interfere.

Yet the relationship break apart into hatred when Cinder finds out it was all just a part of Thorns plot for revenge, Katar added, noting Huxians stunned glare at him, I told you my powers are going to be useful. You could even tell that the relationship will be a set up; I know it doesnt change anything as you were going to try stealing Kitsune away no matter what, thus ruining the relationship. Just wait before doing anything stupid, we might get a better idea of whatd do the most damage

It was then two shadows of humans, as well as the shadow of some floating object, appeared outside the pokemon center door, though they did not enter straight away.

They are talking, the ninetales said then paused for a few moments, his tails perking up and wagging as viciously as Kitsunes would of when toying with a meal, I think I know what to do. It seems there is another unown to add to my collection out there, and it knows that a ninetales is about with many enslaved unown (I guess I slipped up and it sensed me for a moment), both are quite worried about it and suspect Kitsune already Odd that they call it Bug and refer to it dragging them out of a gym battle to get to the bottom of what happened. The plan is you open the door of the recovery room while I create a blur to make it look like some super speed is involved; at the same time I snatch the new addition to my collection. They should come to the conclusion that Kitsune did it, thus drive her away, leaving her no one to stay with but me. Now tell me, any bad results from doing it, for example them harming her before she escapes?

Nope, lets get to work.

No plan could go as smoothly, a simple button operated door that Katar jumped at and pushed the button to open, much to the surprise of all the pokemon who couldnt see what happened. Huxian did his part well, and Katar only caught a quick glimpse of the unown, barely seeing it was of the F variety before it was caught in the golden glow and faded away into wherever the ninetales kept unown that werent in use. Both Katar and Huxian ran out the door before it closed, thus not risking raising suspicions.

We better keep moving at a steady pace, Katar hissed, we just stole a pokemon of Ryans, and Ive seen what that little smeargle of his does to those who annoy it The girl with him, Lilac, would be a problem though. Good thing we arent going to be caught.

Taking an opportunity while Huxian wasnt looking, Katar sliced one of his front legs with his head blade. It wasnt long till blood trickled down his leg, leaving the occasional drop of blood on the ground. They continued walking away from the pokemon centre and deep into the Dewford Island wilderness.


It seemed like a lifetime of walking in silence before Huxian stumbled and fell to the ground, barely managing to get up again. Whats happening? Why am I feeling ill? He whimpered with the fear of uncertainty, I cant sense any cause, so why?

Youre starting to feel the effects of the poison, Katar tried to laugh, but only managed a nervous giggle, I never told you everything. Perhaps if I told you I could feel that Biohazard managed to touch you and his toxic sweat is capable of being absorbed through the skin unlike the sweat of other umbreons, but thatd of ruined what little faith you have in the forces of evil. Im sorry old friend but I had to betray you because you expected it of me. Without help youll be dead in a few hours, but too weak to struggle back to the pokemon center in less than fifteen minutes.

My powers are meant to leave me immune to poisons What is Biohazard really? How can he see through my special barrier and produce a toxin magic cant combat or even sense? Huxian stumbled once more, and then stood glaring at Katar, with his nine tales standing erect, at least I can take you with me, and then secure all my unown so they cant escape just incase I recover despite what you said It might happen because I sense a great miracle coming.

Katars body was lifted from the ground, surrounded by a golden glow.

Now our rivalry ends with your death, Huxians attempt at an evil laugh was far better than what Katar managed earlier.

I do not see my death, I only sense only the destructive energies of Kitsune coming to me. Good saves good, evil saves evil. Im right and hes wrong. I wish this didnt mean Kitsune was going to do something worse than destroy the whole world.

Chapter 19: Kitsune: Good or Evil? Part Two
Injured again. Is this new path I have chosen really so different that I am no longer able to take care of myself? Things are falling apart so soon, it looks like my plans will go nowhere. A few unknown variables have knocked everything off course, but I mustnt let myself feel depressed about it. I no longer have the option of turning back, it was lost as soon as I failed the gym battle and was weakened enough to be caught in a pokeball, the only choice is to go forwards, hoping to find a way around the problem.

Kitsune lay alone in the pokemon centre; her eyes were closed as she lay in a private recovery room, but she was anything but asleep. While her tails lay limp because of both her mood and the fact one of them hurt to move, her ears were up and twitching. It felt like her ears were hearing something but the message wasnt reaching her mind to be perceived. Kitsunes jaws clenched and she bared her fangs and growled slightly. It wasnt just Thorn outside the recovery room that wished harm would come to her.

The sound of the recovery room door sliding open made Kitsunes eyes spring open, perceiving nothing more than a blur of movement no, there was a feeling that the sight wasnt coming from her eyes, more being forced into her mind. An illusion. A good one at that. The door slid shut after a few seconds of what seemed liked shocked silence.

No point acting too hastily, Im not in the best shape after losing so much blood, thus waiting to learn more is the best action.

Bugs gone! Kitsune could hear Ryan clearly through the door, even if he wasnt shouting in shock she would have heard, it would have just required more focus. Kitsune closed her eyes again and concentrated on not missing any part of what was being said. Ryans voice turned to a sob, He said he sensed a ninetales forcing a group of unown into serving it without question I hoped it wasnt Kitsune doing it, but I shouldt have led Bug here, right into a trap.

Kitsunes taken Bug!?! Thorn screeched out, his rage seeming to vibrate every wall. Then there was silence, or at least the sound of some of them being quiet as if trying to plan without talking for fear of being over heard. They were clearly not stupid, even if they had already misunderstood the situation; they were doing their best not to under estimate her. Though by the sound of metal claws gently rubbing against paper and the occasional non-committal grunt from what sounded like Cinder, it seemed like the planning was being done by the Skarmory with Cinder being the only one even slightly interested in whatever plan was being made.

Kitsune wouldnt have done it, Sketch was one of the exceptions; he still thought the best of her. Kitsunes tails almost started wagging at the thought of how much optimism in others was too much, and how Sketch was clearly beyond that point. He must have lived a very sheltered life. He was actually crying, Shes not bad, shes shes only hurt Thorn for damaging her beauty. She cant be punished for that and her bad luck.

Yes, it is odd how I seem to be having a run of bad luck.

Sketch does have a point, Ryan seemed to also want to break the lack of talking. Lilac would have had to be with him, but why hadnt she said anything? Glitch would point out how my bringing of Bug directly to Kitsune after he sensed what was happening was such a logical action that it could of easily been predicted and a trap been set here to catch Bug. Kitsune may just of been unlucky that wed come to her fir

Ryan had stopped mid-sentence as the recovery room door open once more, and Cinder leapt through and at Kitsune, though he did not look overly aggressive. She merely shifted her front paws under herself as if about to jump out of the way. She didnt dodge. Cinder landed on her, knocking her over on to her side, though positioned most of his weight on the bed around her, instead of her, while biting into her neck. His teeth only touched the skin of her neck and how he held her he seemed to be expecting very little struggle, showing that he didnt want to use any more force than was necessary. He was treating Kitsune like she was a normal delicate ninetales. She pretending to struggle a bit, probing the weak spots of his hold more than testing his strength. He grinned, showing that he felt he had won and had no idea that his hold on her was worse than nothing. It only made her seem helpless.

Now youre going to tell us what you did with Bug! Thorn screeched while entering the room, though it quickly turned to a laugh as he leapt at her, raising one leg up towards her underbelly as she lay. She could feel his talons touching her fur as a threat. Lets see how much I have to rip out of you before you talk.

Sketch you really shouldnt watch Omegas voice spoke, and there were a few whimpers of terror from sketch as there was the sound of him being pushed to the ground.

It was all too easy. Kitsunes tails flashed instantly to glowing bright white as she slipped out from under Cinder, pushing him off the bed, and she spun around. As she turned she felt a brief bit of resistance on one tail for an instant, and even though using iron tail made them all numb, Kitsune was sure the only thing she could of hit was Cinder with a tip of a tail. It would certainly cut his flesh. She continued to spin, whacking Thorns damaged wing with as many of her tailing as possible and as hard as she could manage.

There was no time to look to see what damage she had caused, and she used her hind legs to propel her towards the door as soon as she was facing that direction. She was mid-air before she saw Omega was holding Sketch to the ground in the doorway. One swish of her tails, with the white glow quickly fading, moved her trajectory so as she knocked Omega off Sketch and used him for her next bound, hearing a sound much like him choking on something as she did so. The only other thing she noticed on her way out of the pokemon centre was Biohazard unconscious on the ground outside and a trail of drag marks showing for certain he was dragged to the pokemon centre.

They wont underestimate me again. I doubt I would have stood a chance, even just against Thorn, if I hadnt completely caught them off guard. I feel so weak because of my tail injury. If it werent for that, Id stay and talk to them about whats happening and that I didnt do it.

Something caught Kitsunes eye, a spot of red. She turned towards it and continued to run; feeling lighter headed every moment. Once closer it triggered an instinct within her mind. The instinct said to her, You are weak and need food, there are drops of blood leading a trail towards injured prey, alas without anywhere else to turn to sort out the problems she had, she just gave into the instinct without a fight and followed the trail. It felt bad to be going after prey when there were more important things to deal with and Kitsune put down the lack of a scent on the tail of blood drops to the blood loss.


She snapped out of her instincts managing her every thought. She saw Katar floating in the air and heard him screaming in pain, though the screams quickly subsided, as he seemed to lose consciousness. A golden glow surrounded him and it linked to the golden glow of a ninetales surrounded by floating black objects that reminded Kitsune of some of the symbols humans use, though they also all had one large eye each.

It was too hard to think clearly, and she just charged at the other ninetales, Katar is mine! she growled as she head butted him, disrupting his hold on Katar. I cannot let him die till Ive gotten pay back for him framing me. Tell me what makes your claim of a need for vengeance against him greater than mine or be gone.

My lovely Kitsune, it is good to finally meet you, you may call me Huxian, the other ninetales coughed some blood while he tried to be as charming as he could and stand up. Katar here is a long time arch-nemesis, though I never expected him to stoop so low as to promise to help me and then lead me away from all possible medical attention when he knew I was poisoned and didnt know it. My claim is quite strong, and death is the only punis

He sliced a wound open on one of my tails and then proceded to drain blood out through it. You can see the injury Kitsune barked, turning her side towards Huxain and for the first time she noticed the white bandage wrapped around the wound. Okay, you cant see it, but still you should know somethings come above life and death for our kind. Katar is rightfully mine.

My unown slaves can heal that injury Huxian spoke, though his voice started to fall weak as the realization of what he was probably letting Kitsune know dawned on him. Still he continued on talking, merely starting to take a few cautious steps backwards, stumbling because of the toxin, his tails limp and his ears flat. Yes, I was behind taking that unown from that human at the pokemon cen

It was too late for talk. Kitsune was already literally at his throat, about to bite it with full intentions of ripping it out. A flash of golden light knocked her back, then slowly lifted her into the air.

Im sorry, but Im going to seal them away now. Itll only take a few moments, Huxain sighed, using the unowns powers to levitate Kitsune and move her around a bit so he could inspect her every detail as the unown around him slowly faded with a very sad look in their eyes. Katar says the toxin that is within me will kill me soon, but I can always hope that he is wrong. While weakened I am likely to lose my control over my servants if I dont seal them away somewhere they cannot escape If I die theyll spend all eternity in an inescapable empty world. I wish that youd help tend to my need while Im ill so that I can teach you to exploit this power once I recover. It took me nine hundred years, but Im sure I can teach you in much less as I had to learn with no help.

Kitsunes tails started wagging. Ive never met anyone so pathetic. You must have come all this way just to try wooing me, yet Im not even a hundred years old yet. Youve wasted your life as youve clearly missed all the chances of love in your life, plus nothing is impressive about having slaves do all your work. It actually looks quite easy to do and much easier for me to manipulate. The fact that you cant even use them to manipulate love adds to how inferior you are Im glad our species wont have to put up with you for too much longer, youre too much of an embarrassment.

Kitsunes fur started to puff out and glow a pale blue that, though the golden glow of Huxian was much a stronger colour, it seemed to be unable to hold around Kitsunes and the blue glow quickly spread. A sudden burst knocked Huxain backwards into a nearby tree, and Kitsune collapsed on to the ground. The blue glow intensified and suddenly the black forms of the unown started to appear all around them. Though the blue glow, nor a golden one, did not cover these as they were not under Kitsunes power or Huxians.

Ill deliver a killing blow to Huxian, Katar spoke, and somehow Kitsune wasnt surprised he was conscious, hes more of a friend than a nemesis and I dont want him to suffer. Im sure I can do it without damaging his pelt at all, though Im not sure whether Id actually have the heart to skin him afterwards. My old master taught me how so as to make money when there wasnt enough in killing people.

No. He must suffer life, Kitsune growled weakly, feeling how little strength she had left, death is too good for him, he needs to feel powerlessness for the remaining decades of his life and feel how much of a mess hes made of himself. Katar help me drag him to the pokemon centre, if he lives Ill forgive you for what you tried to get done to me.

No, you lack the stamina to do so. a voice spoke within Kitsunes mind, you have less strength left in you than he does. For now you must sleep so we can repair what damage we can.

I am sorry, but I've decided to give up posting chapters of my fic here and am probably going to give up on these Pokemon Community Forums altogether. For those who actually read this fic, chapters of it will still be posted on SPPf and fanfiction.net where my user name is Kawaii Kyuubi Kitsune.

I know this is unacceptable double posting, but considering that I'm leaving, beening banned for this will mean nothing.
