Fate, Destiny or strange luck — Chapter 1 — Finding friends in the deepest hour ( Reforged )

We write the year 2011. Better said September in this Year. Somewhere near Coronia City and in a stormy night with many flashes.

Zoran, a young Pokémon ranger, was running through a forest in the search of a dry and safe place when he suddenly heard a Pokémon screaming.

Sounded like a pain cry, Zoran thought and quickly discovered the direction from where it was coming from. Anyway ! This wasn't just a normal scream, and it is my duty to help !

He then followed the screams and quickly found the Pokémon. It was a heavy wounded Zoroark which was barely alive.......

One Year later

Since that night, so many things had changed for Zoran. He wasn't a ranger anymore. He traveled all over the world in search of something or better said someone. Even his clothes had changed. He had first liked to wear the Ranger standard uniform, but now he was only wearing a long Jacket who was divided into two colors. One side was Black and the other was white, just like his hat. He even tried to hide his left side and stayed away from Humans, which gave him the nickname “man of shadows or illusions”. It was not that he doesn't want to hide himself, but if a human had seen his left side, he would surely be run away to call someone bad like Team rocket or worse.

Now he was sitting on a road in a forest with his only Pokémon on his side. A female Ninetales. They both enjoyed the sun and dreamed of some nice places when Zoran suddenly heard three voices coming his way.

Should I hide, or should I stay? He asks himself, but before he could make an answer ready, he saw three Kids coming his way. Two Boys and one girl. One of the Boys had a Pikachu sitting on his shoulder, which looked really happy in his direction. When the kids were on his high, he began to speak to them.

“ AHM. Hi there.”

The three stopped and look into his half hidden face first. Then The Boy with the Pikachu said

“ Hi. Can we help you?”

“ Maybe. Have you seen a Pokémon called Zoroark or a Zoroar ?”

“ Yes. We have seen both. A Zoroark and a Zoroar.” The girl said.

“ Really? When? Where?” Zoran asks her while he held one of her arms hard.

“ HEEHH. Let me go!”

“ Oh. I'm sorry.” Zoran said and let her arm go. “It's just that you are the first one's who saw them, and now please tell me all you know about them.”

“ Well…. We saw…. Better said, we rescued them both from an asshole in a City called Coronia City where he had let the Zoroark made some trouble while he kept the Zoroar as a hostage only to catch a Celebi.”

“ I see. I heard about that incident, but I didn't know that a Zoroark was involved. Please go on, oh and tell me, did the Zoroar had something special on his Body or said something funny ?”

“Well…. His Body was looking normal but when he transformed his Tail always didn't, and he always said the word MIMA or something like that.”

“ MI….MIMA…. Where did they go? When have you seen them for the last time ?”

Zoran asks loudly while he jumped up and grabbed the Girl's Shirt.

“They both took a ship and…. COUGH…. It was a week ago. Please… COUGH…. Let me go! You are hurting me.”

“ Where did the ship go ?”

Zoran asks the Girl, while he began to increase the pressure with his hands or at last one Hand and a Hand or Paw, hidden in a glove.

“NNNNHHHHHH......PLEASE......SOME AIR….!!!!”

Right at this moment, Zoran Eyes began to glow a bit white, and he said

“ Let her go, Drake.”

The Two Boys then said in union, while they tried to help her. “ Who was drake ?”

Then Zoran said again, but in a more angry voice.

“ Let her go, Drake!” And this time he became an answer from himself.

“ No. Not until I got an answer.”

“ What the hell is wrong with you, man?" The Boy with the Pikachu asks while he tried to move one of Zoran's Hands.

“ Leave me alone, kid.” Zoran answered and throw the Kid away, right into the Ninetales direction. Luckily, she caught the Boy with her Telekinesis Attack and sat him back onto his feet. Then she barked loudly into Zoran's direction, and luckily his grip on the Girl went. Once she was free, Zoran grabbed his own face on the side he was hiding and said to the kids.

“ I..... I'm..... Please forgive us. He cannot control himself, just like I can. NNNHHHH. GIVE ME SOME PEACE, DRAKE !!!”

The last words, Zoran shouted out loud until he broke down to his knees. There he hardly breathed but happy.

“ Finally a moment of peace.” Zoran said after a few breaths. “ I'm pretty sure that you want an explanation for this.”

“ Yep, you're right.” The girl said.

“ HAHAHA. I'll tell you but first. My name is Zoran and this is my Ninetales Rosy. Who are you?”

“ I'm Lucia and this is my partner, Piplup.” She said, while she pointed towards Zoran's feet's, where Piplup had come out of his Ball and had tried to stop Zoran.

“ Hi. I'm Ash and this is my partner, Pikachu.”

“ And my name is Brock. Nice to meet you.”

“ Same back, Brock, and sorry for the hard way he walked with you.”

“ What do you mean with “he”? It was you that held me so hard. None other.” Lucia said.

“ Well, that's not completely right. I….”

Right at that moment, Pikachu sprang from ash's shoulder and walked directly in front of Zoran. Then he began to speak in Pokémon

“ Pi… Pika, Pikachu. Chu”

“ No. Not this way, Pikachu.” Zoran answered, leaving Ash and his friends totally confused.

“ Pikachu. Pika. Chu, Chu.”

“ HEH. I already said sorry to her, what should I do more ?”

“ Nine… Ninetales…nine” Rosy went in with a low but steady voice.

“ NAHH… Alright, alright. Drake, you have heard them. Come out and say sorry to Lucia.”

“ Do I have to?” Zoran said again to himself.

“ Did you want to feel some pain from them and me?” Zoran said now.

“ OK.OK. I give in. Sorry Lucia. Happy Now ?”

“ Me yes.” Zoran said.

“ Tales!”

“ Pika !”

“ Ok seems like they were fine with it too, or at least their Pokémon. Now then…. You are surely wondering why I can understand them too, right?”

Ash and his friends only nodded.

“ Well, that's simply said ….” He was cut by a Metal hand that flew in and grabbed Pikachu. Then it retreated, but before it disappeared in the bushes, Zoran grabbed it and held it in place while he shouted out.

“ Come out and declare yourself.”

“ Declare Ourselves? Just give us Pikachu. That's all I am going to say.” A female said while she walked out of the bush.

“ Yeah you are right Jessie. Just give us Pikachu and let my Hand go.” A male said from behind her and only a second later a Balloon with a Meowth in it came in sight.

“To Protect the World from devastation.” She kept on saying, followed by her partner.

“To unite all people within our nation.”

“To denounce the evil of truth and love.”

“To extend our reach to the stars of above.”

“Jesse”

“James”

“Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!”

“Surrender now or prepare to fight.”

“Meowth, That's Right!” The Meowth ended :).

“ Team Rocket! Why are you after this Pikachu? I thought that you are only gathering special Pokémon like me.”

Now all 5 were lost in confusion except Meowth.

“ You ? A Pokémon. HAHAHA. Don't make me Lough. You cannot perform a single attack, human.” The Meowth said, while he shot a second hand towards the Ninetails.

“ WE WILL SEE, MEOWTH !” Zoran shouted back, and then his Eyes begin to glow. Next the second hand hit the Ninetails but nothing happened.

“ What the hell ?” Meowth said and tried his luck again, but again he didn't hit.

“ Hey Meowth, what are you doing? Stop playing and catch it!” Jessie said.

“ I try it, Jessie, but I cannot hit it. Dammit.” Meowth answered.

“ HAHAHAHAHA..... And you thought that I'm not a Pokémon. HAHAHA. Fools. Hey Rosy. Gave them a warming up, my little lady. Flamethrower.”

The Ninetails got up with his Head and began to form a fireball in front of its mouth. First it was only a little flame and Team Rocket began to laugh loudly until the Ball grew. From one second to another, it had grown 10 times its starting size, and then she let it go. The Flame hit the balloon which exploded and Meowth screamed together with the two others, who had been hit also.

"That was another shot in the oven!”

In the Meantime, Zoran had freed Pikachu, and now they all were looking with big Eyes on Team Rocket, which was still standing right in front of them but with empty Eyes.

“ What did you do with them, and what are you?” Lucia asks Zoran.

“ I only hypnotized them. They will soon come back to sins again. And what I am…. Well, I tell you later, but for now, please come with me to the next Pokémon center. There I will tell you all. Promised.”

They all began to leave the place and 20 minutes later they arrived at the center.

“ Hi there, Joy.” Zoran said to the nurse but was quickly overrun by Brock.

“ OHOHO. Hi there, Nurse Joy. I'm Brock, but you can call me Darling or lover .....”

“ Croagunk”

“ ..... O… Or whatever you want…. UFF.”

“ QUACK. Quack.”

“Yep. You are right, Croagunk. That was a bit too fast.”

“ HAHA. Hi there Zoran. Did you found what you were searching for, or are you still on it?” Joy asks.

“ I'm still on it, but I think that I'm on an excellent way to finish my task soon. Can you maybe get us something to eat? My… Our Stomach is feeling so empty and those three are my guests.”

“ That's no problem. Just sit down. I'll bring you something soon.”

“ Thanks.”

Thirty minutes later they all had eaten and Ash and his friends were now waiting for Zoran's secret to be revealed.

“ UFF. OH, Joy! You are as good as a 5-Star Restaurant.”

“ HIHIHI. Thanks for the compliment but thank Brock, not me. He was the cock today.”

“ Really? Then thanks Brock.”

“ No need to be, but now you have to tell us all about you.”

“ Yeah, I know, but first I must warn you. What you will see and hear from me is not funny.”

“ Go on. We have already gone through so many bad things that it cannot be so bad.” Ash answered.

“Ha. With this bet, you will lose, young Man.” Joy said and Zoran got up from the table.

He then walked to the front side of the table and then his hand opened his Jacket first. Once it was open, he let it glide down, followed by his hat. There was silence from one second to another because ash and his friends couldn't believe their Eyes. Even their Pokémon had stopped eating, except Zoran Ninetails because she already knew his look. Right in front of them was a Creature standing that was looking half human, half Pokémon. His complete left side was looking normal with red hairs on his Head, a Blue Eye and a normal chest but his other half, that half that he normally hide, was looking like a Zoroark with the typical look. His middle section was a mixture of both Bodies.

“ Does this explain why I can speak with Pokémon so well?” Zoran asks around and the others only nod. Then Ash asks

“ How…. Why…. Have you been born like this, Zoran?”

“ASH !!!” Lucia shouted out loud.

“ UPS !!! Sorry. You don't have to ….” Zoran cut him

“ Answer it? No, I wasn't born in THIS Body."

Zoran gathered all of his clothes again and put them on. Then he sat himself back on the table and began to tell them his Story.

“ Well. I was born as a Human, and I lived as one until I was 18. I worked as a ranger not far from here, and on one night it happened.”

Zoran took a deep breath, and then he told them all.

“ It was a stormy night. Only a half Year ago or so. I was running through this wood in search of a dry place until I heard someone crying for help. When I reached the place where the help cries came from, I found Drake. He was close to death and once I was over his Body he said to my mind.

“ P… Please…. My..... Family…. Must…. F…. Find…. H…. Help.”

I tried all I could do and brought him here, but Joy couldn't help him. All I could do was watch him die until an idea came up in my mind. You must know that my parents are from a Pokémon Mage line, and so I'm able to use some old and real magic, and that was what I used. I spoke out some old words, and then Drake's and my Body began to combine until I looked so as I'm looking now. Since then, I have helped him with his search for his family, but I didn't find them or any information until I met you. Well, that's all that I can tell you for now. Scary right?”

“ W…well…. I have to sleep over the night to get an answer to this, so…. Have sweet dreams.” Ash said and left the table. A few seconds later, all got up and walked to their rooms followed by their Pokémon except for Zoran, his Ninetails and Ash's Pikachu. The three walked out on a balcony and sat themselves at a Bank. Then Pikachu said

“ Pika. Pi. Pikachu. Chu, Chu. Pika.” UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR ACTIVATED.

“ Why didn't you tell them all?”

“ What do you mean? “ Zoran answered back in Pokémon

“ I mean the fact that when, you find Drake's family, that you w….”

“ Hold on! What do you know about Pokémon Magic?”

“ I know what I have to know, so….” Zoran cut him with a wave of his Paw, and then he looked over to Rosy while he said.

“ Rosy. Please go and prepare the room for us, will ya?”

“ WHAT? Why are you sending me away every time when it's getting so interesting? Especially when it's about Pokémon Magic.” Rosy said while she got up and began to walk towards their room.

“ It's because you will find it boring, and I know that you like it when I'm doing this. Don't you?”

Zoran was right. She always loved it when he does it because every time when he came to her, she got a nice night with him in bed. Yet there was one more reason of why he wanted her to leave and as soon as she was out of sight, he said to Pikachu.

“ Listen. Don't tell her anything about what will happen to me once we found his family.”

“ Why not? Doesn't she deserves it to know the fact that you will go to kill yourself once you found them?”

“ Do you think that it is this easy to tell someone that … loves you that you will go to die once they were found? I bet that she would stop me immediately or slow me so much down that we would never find them.”

After Zoran said this, there was only silence until Pikachu finally said

“ Fine. I will let you have your will but swear me this. Once the time comes, you will tell her all from face to face.”

“ I promise, and now go to your trainer. I bet he misses you already.”

“ That bet you will win but what about the swear ?”

“ Well…. I...... ÄMMM.”

“ Swear or I …. *SAP* .....” Pikachu was readying a Thundershock.

“ OK.OK. I swear it. Damn, you are harder to hold back than Drake. OUCH!”

“ I heard that. Fool.” Drake answered Zoran and slapped him on his half. UNIVERSAL TRANSLATION OFFLINE.

Then they both, Pikachu and Zoran, began to walk towards their rooms. About an Hour later, Pikachu awoke from his sleep because he heard a strange sound from Zoran's room. Slowly and a bit drowsy, Pikachu walked towards Zoran's room, only to get a shock once he reached the door. It was a split wide open and Pikachu could see the source of the noises. He could see Zoran and Rosy by making Sex human style. The look of the scene brought some emotions to life in him, and he quickly walked away again because he didn't want to have these feelings right now. Once he was back in Ash's room, he moved himself onto ash side again and fall asleep, only to get fully hit by his feelings in his dream.

3 Months later

Zoran, Ash, and their friends had traveled to the Island that Drake called his home, but all over the months they didn't find his family. Instead, Ash wrote himself in for a Pokémon tournament that was going on all over the island and Lucia for a Festival. They were both fantastic at it and from time to time Zoran helped them by giving them his helping hand or Rosy's.

Now, on a sunny Sunday, ash was battling another trainer for some training. Lucia and Brock were producing some foot with their Pokémon, and Zoran was moving towards a lake to get some water.

On the lake he fell back in Memories or better said it were Drake's memories. In it, he was playing with his family at a lake that was looking the same just as this. Oh, how he missed these Days of peace. Suddenly, he was taken away from the memory because in reality he had heard something. His Ears were standing tall, and he made no sound or movement.

There.

“..... MA.”

There was that sound again.

“MI….”

He tried to find the source of the sound.

“ HOWL.”

His heart stood still from one second to another. This cannot be! He thought while he began to run towards the sound's source. Not him! Not him! It took him only seconds until he reached a little clearing with two Pokémon on it. The first one, a Rhydon, was standing in front of another Rhydon, but something was different on that one.

“ HMMMM. This Rhydon is looking normal, but what disgusts me on it." Zoran said lowly to himself. “ His color is normal, his size, his tail, his..... Wait a minute. A Rhydon doesn't have a tail like this.”

Then all went quick. The first Rhydon attacked the other one and hit it fully. The second Rhydon dropped to the Earth and…. Disappeared. In his place was now a Zoroar laying with a deep cut on his side. Seeing a Brother or sister laying there and being attacked was far too much for Drake and Zoran. Together, they used their Illusion Ability to change their Body into a big Graveler and attacked the first Rhydon. However. The first Rhydon was so much shocked by the appearance that it ran away as fast as possible. Once it was out of sight, Zoran transformed himself back and then looked over the Zoroar.

“ Damn. These wounds are deep, but he had some luck. No Organs have been hit. OK. I better bring you to Brock so that he can he.........!”

He had moved the little body a bit and could now see the face of the Zoroar. His Eyes began to widen and his breath nearly stopped. In his Paw, he was holding Drake's Son.

“ NOOOO!! NOT MY SON!!! ROSY!!!!!! BROCK. HELP ME!!” Zoran screamed out very loudly and only seconds later Rosy showed up.

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR ONLINE.

“ What is it why you…” She stopped because she saw the Zoroar in his Paw and Hand. Then her next question came.

“ Pokémon center or Brock?”

“ Brock first. The center is a second option.”

“ Get on my back.”

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR OFFLINE

Once he was on her back, she started running. Hold out, my son. Help is on its way. Zoran thought, and after this thought Drake howled into the Air only to get sure that his Mate wasn't near, but he didn't become an answer. Instead, his son began to move wildly in his arms, as if he wanted to run away from something. Drake had some hard work to do on Rosy's back, but he managed it to hold out until they reached the others.

Ash and his friends were unprepared as Zoran arrived on Rosy's back.

“ Zoran. Is something wrong?” Ash asks.

“ No time to talk. Brock, please help me.” Zoran showed Zoroar in his arms.

“ WOAH!! What has happened ?” Ash asks again while Brock made all things ready to heal the wound.

“ I don't know. First I heard him calling in the distance. Then I found him in a battled against a Rhydon and then ..... I discovered that it…. Was…. Is ..... Drake's son. Brock how’s he?”

“ Hmm.....” Was Brock's only answer.

“ What is it? Do you need something? Tell me!!!”

“ No, I don't require anything, but the wound could easily get infected out here. We better bring him to the Pokémon Center.”

“ As I thought. Give him to me. Rosy and I are fast enough to bring him there today.”

“ Are you sure? Normally you need a hole Day to get there.” Lucia asks.

“ I am. I know this place as well as my own home. Don't forget, Drake was born here, and I was a ranger here. I know every stone and shortcut so yep I am sure.”

“ Then go. We will follow you and take this with you. Maybe you got hungry on the way or the wound needs to be cured again.” Brock said and handed Zoran a plastic bag.

“ Thanks Brock. See you, and please pray for him and his mother, who is still out there.”

After Zoran had said this he got up on Rosy's back again and the next things that were being seen from them was a wave of Dust. About 3 hours later, they both had made the half way, but they got slower and slower by the time.

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR ONLINE

“ Rosy stop.” Zoran said

“ What is it?” Rosy answered until she stopped.

“ You need to rest. I'll run the last part. Come and sleep a bit in your ball.”

“ Fine, but I don't go into this little Ball.”

“ Why not? I know you hate it, but as far as I know is that you hate it more when you are left alone.”

“ That's why I run by your side to the center.”

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR OFFLINE

“ GAH… fine. Do what you want.” Zoran said, but before they started to run again, Zoran grabbed her ball and used it on her. Then he quickly bound it with a band because normally she would come out again without a permission and very Angry. Right after this, he set on running again. All over the way, Zoroar was moving in his arms, and one time he had to stop because Zoroar had begun to bleed again.

Four hours later. They made it. Completely out of breath, Zoran walked into the center and managed to scream before he passed out.

“ HELP ME ..... MY SON IS ..... IS.......”

In the middle of the night, Zoran woke up. He was lying in a room with two beds in it. He looked around and saw Drake's Son laying in the other bed. Slowly, he slid down from his Bed and got into the Bed of his Son. There he only looked across him while Zoroar was sleeping peacefully. Seeing him sleeping so peacefully brought back some Memories of happier Days in Drake's Head. He carefully took his son into his Arms like he did in the past, and then he falls asleep again.

On the next morning. Zoran woke up early, and he quietly left the Room. On the outside, he walked towards the Main hall. There he sat himself on a table and looked outside.

“ Chansey.” Zoran looked back over his shoulder and said.

“ Thanks Chansey."

Chansey had brought him a cup of tea and some breakfast. He slowly began to eat, but he couldn't eat that much. All of his thoughts were running around Drake's son and mate. Then Joy came to his table.

“ Good Morning. Slept well Zoran?”

“ Yep. Thanks to you but what about …his son?”

“ You mean Zoroar? Well…. He had some luck that he is still under us. The wound was not deep, but it was poisoned with Seviper toxin.”

“ WHAT ? When I found him, he was fighting a Rhydon. Not a Seviper.”

“ Maybe he was attacked a bit earlier. Anyway. He is safe now. Just a few Days of rest and he then can wrap out some trees again.”

“That's good to hear. Do you think that he will wake up soon?”

“ That I cannot tell you. The Body wound's I can heal, but the wounds that are in the soul….”

“ Yeah, yeah. I know what you wanted to say. Well, then I go back to the room and look over him. When my friends are here, please send them to my room.”

“No problem. What are their names?”

“ Ash. Lucia and Brock.”

“ OK. When they are here, I will send them.”

“ Thanks.”

Zoran then drank his tea and went back to his room. Once he was inside the room, he saw that his Son was still sleeping, but his face was showing him that he was having a nightmare or something like it. As he stepped nearer, Zoroar suddenly began to move wildly and began to cry for help. Hearing him crying, Drake came out and grabbed his son softly. Then he took him into his arm and began to hum a sound while he waved him back and forth. It worked quickly. Zoroar came down and smiled while he slowly opened his Eyes. Before he had opened his Eyes fully, Drake hides himself under a blanket or at last only his Human side.

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR ONLINE

“ YAWN. What a nightmare.” Zoroar said, a bit sleepy. Then he looked around. His Eyes quickly found Drake and once he was sure of what he was looking on he slowly managed to say.

“ Fa…fa…father? Is that really you?”

“Yeah it's me. Sorry that….” Drake got cut by his son's actions. He had jumped into his chest and under some tears he managed to say.

“ SNIFF…. Father…. SNIFF. Where were you? Why did you leave us alone? Why, why, why SNIFF…CRY.”

Seeing his son crying brought some tears into Drakes Eyes, and he grabbed his Body to hold him close to his face, laying his Head onto his shoulder. There, he answered in a low and very lovely voice while he slowly stroked over Zoroars Head.

“ I know that the times were very hard for you and your mother and trust me, I really tried my best to find you two, but it was like I was witched. Every time I heard that someone might have seen you or your mother, I travelled to that place fast, but I only got disappointed. You were not there. Only some other Pokémon.”

“ I missed you so much, farther…. SNIFF…. But now we can both go back to Mo…mo…? Where is Mother? Is she here?” Zoroar said now in a bit better condition.

“ No. She is not here. I thought that you know where she is.”

“ I… I…. NNNHHHHH..... My Head!!! It hurts. The last thing that I can remember was that Mom and I tried to escape a bunch of humans who wanted to catch us. She was carrying me in her arms while she ran, but then she stopped and something hit my side hard. Then all went black and the next thing that I can remember was that big Rhydon who tried to eat me.”

“ I see. Very well. That only means that she is not far from here, and I have to search her.” Drake said, and sat him down on the bed again.

“ I'm coming with you.” Zoroar said and tried to move, but Drake immediately said

“ NO. Stop moving. The hit you got was full of Poison. You need to get rid of it all first, so you stay in bed and wait for me and mother.”

“ But I feel fine. I go.”

“ Again No.”

“ But I…. I'm… ? Why did you look so strange? Hiding half of your Body and you smell like a human but….”

Drake got caught off guard. He had totally forgotten about Zoran. Now he had to try to find a way out.

“ L…. LOO…. Looking strange…. No… No, I'm normal and…. And I'm hiding my Body because…. ÄHM… WOW. STOP. WAIT.”

Zoroar didn't listen. He had grabbed the blanket with his mouth and dragged it all down. Next he looked after his father and was out of words, or you could better say frozen in fear. Then, after 5 minutes of looking, he fearfully asks.

“ W… What have happened to you? Will this go to happen someday to me and mom too?”

“ No, no, no. You will be you. It's only me that will look like this.” Drake answered.

“ Forever?”

“ Hopefully not, but enough talk. I need to find your mother, and you will rest no matter what. This is my last word.”

“ Oh Arceus… HHHMMMM…. Maybe you are right …. ARGH! This cut hurts.”

“ As I said. Oh, before I forget. Do you want someone to play with while I'm gone ?”

“Sure, why not ? Can I choose who?”

“ Sorry again. This Body belongs to a Pokémon ranger, so he has only one Pokémon, normally.”

With these words' drake threw Rosy's ball, after he had unwrapped it, and Rosy came out butot the normal way. Before she was materialized she jumped on Zoran's Body and when she was materialized she barked into Zoran's face.

“ You asshole. I told you that I hate this Ball and that you will pay the next time you force me into it.”

Once she said these she moved her right paw upwards and wanted to strike into Zoran face half, but before she could hit Zoroar said

“Please! Don't hit my father.”

“Don't worry, little one. I will only hit Zoran's side. Not his."

* BAMMM *

She had done it. Her Paw had hit Zoran's face half perfectly. His Eye was going Blue, and he said

“ Had you have enough Rosy? Yes? Fine. Get down from me.”

After a few seconds, she released him. Afterwards, he said into her face.

“ I will go for a search, and you will stay here to protect him. Got that?”

She was a bit shocked because he had never commanded her in this way. Then she answered.

“ And what should I do with him here in the meantime?”

“ Play with him some games but be warned. He was Poisoned with Seviper toxin, and not all is out of him yet.”

“ Hmm, OK, but I want something in return.”

“ That is?”

Suddenly a strange feeling came up her back, and she said with a face of fear.

“ Come back to me alive.”

Hearing this, he smiled and let his paw glide over her head. Then he looked over to zoroar and said

“ Be a nice little Boy and don't go too fast on things.”

“ I will Father and bring MI…MA… Mother back.”

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR OFFLINE

Then Zoran walked out of the room and right into Ash and the others.

“ Ups. Sorry.” Zoran said

“ No problem. Where are you going?” Ash asks.

“ To where my …. His Mate is.”

“ Can we…. HEY WAIT!”

Ash called, but Zoran didn't listen. He thought only of Drake's mate and where he had found Zoroar. Once outside, he started running, but he didn't come far because Officer Rocky was blocking his way with her car.

“ Where do you want to go so fast, Ranger Zoran?”

“ I'm not a Ranger anymore, and you have no rights to stop me. Get out of my way.” Zoran answered angrily.

“ I will not. Besides, I want to help you find his Mate, just like them at your back.”

Zoran turned his head and saw again Ash and the others.

“ We want to help you too.” Lucia said

“Thanks, but I don't want it.” Zoran answered.

“ You have no other choice. Zoroar is our friend too, and we also want his mother back.” Brock said.

“ But I cannot….”

“ You don't need to ask or say something. We will come with you.” Ash said, cutting him and all their Pokémon letting out a word in their speak. DO IT. SAY YES.

Zoran said nothing, instead he sat himself into Rockies Car and gave them a wink. He had agreed that they didn't want to let him go alone, and he was happy about it. Once all were in the car, Rocky asks.

“ Where are we going ?”

“ There.” Zoran said, while he pointed at a little place on a Land map.

“ OK Everyone. Hold on tight.” Rocky said smiling and Zoran added quickly.

“ You better do what she said beeeeccccccccccccaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuusssssssseeeeeeee.........”

He couldn't speak on. Rocky gave her car a kick-start. Letting it jump from 0 to 100 in 5 seconds. The drive took about an hour and once they reached all jumped out, kissing the ground and thinking only I SURVIVED. Next they walked to the place where Drake found his son.

“ Here it is. Here I found him battling the Rhydon.” Zoran said.

“ Hmm…. Seems like that they were only two tracks here from the fight and yours.” Rocky said, while she looked through a reading-glass.

“ Maybe we should split to find something.” Ash added.

“ Sounds good to me and you, Rocky?” Zoran answered.

“ I'm in.”

“ OK. Let's go. We will meet here in an hour again. Otherwise, send an attack in the Air so that the others can come to aid.”

They all agreed, and then they split. They all walked their way, even Brock, who tried his luck on Rocky's side but was held off by Croagunk. Half of the hour had passed, but nothing had happened. Then finally, Zoran found what he was searching for.

“ Hmm…. These tracks are strange. They lead from here to these Stones there and End suddenly. They were three. One that seems to be the leader and two others that are carrying some….”

He ended his self speak because he had found something that belonged to Drake's mate. It was a red rose that he had given her on their first Date and which she always wore behind her right Ear.

“ There is no doubt about it. She was the one who was carried. Time to call the others.”

He then gathered a bit of his energy and fired a Hyper Beam into the Air. Five minutes later they all arrived.

“ Have you found something?” Lucia asks.

“ Indeed, I have. Here…. And…. Here.” Zoran showed them the tracks and the Rose.

“ Is that a beautiful Rose. Can I have it, maybe?” Lucia asks but only got a heavy growl from Drake.

“ OK.OK. I only wanted to make a joke. Nothing more.” Lucia said apologizing.

“ I hope so. Do you have an idea where they were now ?” Zoran asks into the round.

All shacking with their Heads and started to look. Then Pikachu found a switch by walking over it.

* CLICK*

" PIKAAAAA!!!”

“ Pikachu!!!” Ash screamed.

Where Pikachu had stood was now a black hole with some steps. Ash ran down the steps and found Pikachu on the button.

“ Hey, have you been hurt?” Ash asks, but Pikachu only shacked his Head to tell him that he was ok. Then Pikachu hopped back onto Ash's shoulder and then the rest of the Team appeared except for Drake.

“ Hey Guys. Where is Drake?” Ash asks

“ He said that he comes after us. He needed a bit of time for some sort of preparations.” Lucia answered.

“ Hmm… OK. Well, let's see what we will find here.”

They then all began to follow the tunnel and after 5 Minutes, Drake joined them.

“ Have you finished ?” Brock asks.

“ Yep. Preparations completed.” Drake answered.

Ten minutes later, they arrived in a big and empty room.

“ Let us check the backside.” Drake said, but before he could do a step he was attacked.

A fireball landed right in front of them.

“ Who's there? Come out, you luckless assassin.” Drake shouted into the dark, but as an answer he became a direct hit from behind, then one from the left side. Then in a reflex, drake grabbed with both, paw and Hand, to his right and caught the assassin. It was a Flareon, but its fur was totally black. Even its Eyes. Then a Voice called from the dark.

“ Flareon. Come back.”

And the Flareon did as it was told. It gave Drake a kick onto his arms and he let it go. Then it disappeared in the darkness, while the voice spoke on.

“ Good work, Zoroark. You have not only survived. You have become stronger and faster in the past month's and all of these to get back your mate. HAHAHA. So bad that you are already too late. She died a useless death. Only to protect her little Bastard you called son.”

“ GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. YOU WILL REGRET THIS, YOU COWARD OF AN HUMAN. HIDING IN THE DARK IS ONLY SIGN THAT YOU CANNOT FIGHT FAIR. EVEN YOUR FLAREON KNOWS THAT YOU ARE A WEAKLING. EVEN IN BED. HAHAHAHA.” Drake shouted back.

“ Y…YOU….YYYYOOOOUUUU…. ARGH.”

“ GOTCHA." Drake had thrown a stone and had hit into the twelve.

“ You will regret your attack. Flareon. Flamethrower.”

“ Biplup. Bubblebeam.”

Both attacks collided and neutralized each other. Then Lucia said to the rest.

“ Go. I take care of him.”

“ HM. Good luck.” Drake said to her, and start running like the others at that moment.

Another 5 minutes later, they reached another big room, but this one painted in white. It was so bright white that you could barely see anything. Then Drake became attacked again. This time with a solar beam or sort of that, and in view came a white Leafeon.

“ OHO. Another enemy. That's nice. Tell me, what kind of Story do you have to tell me ? Hmm.....?” Drake said with sarcasm in his Voice.

“ You will see. Solarbeam attack.” A Voice answered, and another attack came in Drakes direction.

“ Croagunk Brick break. " Brock shouted and Croagunk stopped the attack, and right after he sat there and quaked. “ That's my fight. Go.” Ash, Rocky, and Drake did what they were asked for.

They ran for another five minutes and up some steps. On them, Drake asks Ash.

“ Do you think that they will be alright ?”

“ HA. Don't worry about them. You better gave some worries for their enemies. As we speak of them. There is another Room.” Ash answered and they entered the room. Once inside, an Ice attack hit them all at once, and they all had to stand. A Glaceon appeared and a Voice said.

“ You've done well by coming this far, but here is your end. Glaceon Icebeam.”

Rocky, who had managed to hold a hand free, grabbed her Pokeball and called out.

“ Arcanine Flamethrower.”

A big Arcanine came out of her Ball and fired a flame that nearly was as big as him, and all the ice melted away. Then Rocky looked over to ash and drake, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she only saluted, and they both knew what she wanted. They both then ran to the next door, but this time they were directly lured into another room. Once they were inside, the door sprung close behind them and an Aquagun hit Ash into his face. Then a deep and angry Voice said

“ Not this one you fool, the other one.”

Another Aquagun was fired, but again it became interrupted.

“ Pikachu, Thundershock attack.”

A yellow light filled the room when the Aqua Gun and the Thundershock collided. At that moment, Drake ran to the last door and opened it. Then from out of nowhere, he was dragged into the room by some form of dark mist or Person. Once he was inside the room, the door closed itself and the room began to light up. It was filled with machines that are making some strange sounds. Then he heard a Computer Voice saying.

“ Preparations completed. Bringing Test Object into position.”

A Metal Arm began to move down from the roof, and then it grabbed something before it moved down. Once it was down enough, Drake could see what it was, and he became insane. It was a Cylinder with his Mate in it. He ran to her and began to hammer against the glass, but she didn't react. It was like she was a Zombie or had lost all of her will because her Eyes were empty, and her Body didn't move a bit. Then a Man appeared behind the glass. Drake stopped and looked at the man, which slowly moved towards Drake and when he was near him, Drake asks in a hard voice.

“ What did you do to her?”

“ Her? I don't know who you mean. If you mean that Test object in their well, I used a new drug to get control over it.” The man answered.

“ It? IT? Do you really mean that she is just an Object to you?”

“ Yep. I mean this. It, or maybe she is just a Test object like the others that I have had before I killed them.”

“ Killed them? What kind of human are you, or are you even not a human?”

“ I'm a human that knows what he wants, and all I want is Money. Who cares about a life or two when you get Millions for it.”

Hearing this, Drake nearly became insane, but Zoran blocked him with all of his mind's strength until he heard this from the man.

“ You two would make an excellent Experiment also. So why don't you get over there and give me your Bodies, so I can make some test on them ?”

“ You really think that we 2 will do this for you? NO! I only came to get my Mate out of your dirty and Bloodstained Hands, but now I want to make one more thing.” Drake added with a Devilish smile.

“ Oh, and that is ?”

“ I will let you feel how it feels when you are a Test subject.” Drake said and makes himself ready to attack.

“ OHHHH…. Too bad. Well then I must use my new Toy against you and when it is done with you, you will be a new test subject for me. HIHIHI.”

The man took a controller out of his white jacket and pushed a Button on it. Next, the cylinder moved up and Drakes mate was free, but she didn't move until the man said.

“ Go and play with them.”

She did as she was told. First she made one step, but then from one second to another she appeared right in front of Drake and gave him a hard punch into his stomach. This brought him to stumble backwards a bit, but then a second punch hit him, into his face. While he collapsed, she stopped her attack and the man spoke on.

“ So, now you have seen what awaits you. Now be my new Test Object or Die.”

Yet Drake answered.

“ NNNNHHHH..... H…HA….HAHAHAHA.”

“ Why are you laughing?”

“ Because you didn't understand anything. Maybe she is under your control, but she still knows who she is fighting with or better said she knows how to hold herself back.”

“ OHHH. Didn't I tell you that I want to hold her back? No? Then now you know, so give up.”

“ HAHAHA. You will have to kill me before I will give up.”

“ When this is your wish, then so be it. Bummer! I had so many plans with you. Well… Your Body will still do the work without life in it. Kill him.”

She attacked again, but this time Drake dodged all of her attacks even as she increased her speed, he was able to not get hit. Then the man activated a trap by pushing a button on a wall. Drake's Arms became sealed from one second to another, and he then got some very hard punches into his stomach, letting his body drop, while his arms were still up. Now Drake's Mate was over him and made herself ready for the last strike, but before she acted, Drake said

“ Please …. One last question or two.”

“ Speak quick.” The man answered.

“Who are you and how do you get control over her.”

“ Who I am or for which one I'm working for isn't your concern but for the method? I can control her mind with a little controller behind her Ear and this little stick in my Hands, but that's enough. End his Life.”

Her paw struck into his Body, but then something happened, or better said nothing happened. There was no Blood, no death scream. Only his big smile on his face before he said

“ What? Something wrong?"

Then all changed, and they were all standing right there before all had started.

“ What has happened??!!” The man asks.

“ Nothing.” Drake answered.

“ B…but you were supposed to be dead. I have seen the final strike.”

“ HAHAHA. All an illusion of mine, idiot. Oh, before I forget. Are you missing something ?”

The Man looked around and then found out what Drake meant.

“ You little..... Give the controller back. You cannot use it anyway.”

“ Me maybe not but Zoran, my other half, can.”

“ OH yeah, I can, and I will.” Zoran now answered.

He took the controller in his Hand and then pushed and hold a button while he spoke with the voice of the man.

“ Take out the implant behind your Ear and destroy it.”

“NO !!” The man screamed, but it was too late. She had already grabbed it and had thrown it to the ground. Then her Eyes came back to normal, and she said in Pokémon.

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR ONLINE

“ W…. Where am I ?”

“ You are safe now Darling and now come here please.” Drake said back.

“ D…. Drake? Is that you? Why are you…” The man cut her.

“ You fool.”

UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR OFFLINE

Suddenly, an Alarm bell began to ring.

“ What ? What have you done now?” Drake asks harshly.

“ I did nothing. It was your fault! That controller is DNA marked and if someone other than me or my assistant take it the self-destruction becomes automatically activated.”

“ And what about you? You will go to die here.” Drake's mate said.

“ I will not. I have an escape route, but you will die here and then maybe I will have my Test Subjects back HIHIHI….ARGH.”

Drake had enough. He had grabbed the man by his neck and was now pressing him to a wall. Then he said in a devilish low Voice.

“ You will die first, old idiot.”

“ I…IF you…kill me…the other…subject's will die …also.”

Then a Computer voice said over some speakers.

“ The self-destruction has been activated. Repeat. The self-destruction has been activated. All people evacuate immediately.”

“ Stop it.” Drake said to the man, but the man didn't answer because Drake had broken his neck and he had died.

“ Crap. What do we do now?” Drake's mate asks with fear and in Pokémon.

“ Don't worry. Come. We have to rescue all others before we go.”

And so they did. Luckily for them was that the Labor had only two other prisoners left and once they were free Ash and his friends came also to them.

“ Ash. Nice to see you have made it.” Drake said

“ Yeah, but first we have to get out of here.”

Then the next Computer Voice sounded.

“ There are three minutes until detonation.”

“ DAMN! We will not make it in time.” Ash said

“ We will. Follow me.” Drake's mate answered and Drake translated it to them while they all began to run.

They all ran up some stairs and on its top they opened a steel door. Once it was open, they ran through it and were now standing on a heliport with one helicopter on it.

“ Do you think that you can fly it, Rocky?” Drake asks.

“ Get in and see for yourself.” She answered.

As quickly as possible, everyone went on board. Drake was the last one who wanted to get in, but before he was in, the dark shadow appeared again. It came so fast that Drake couldn't react in time, and then the unthinkable happened. The shadow formed itself into a Seviper and once it was finished, the Viper's tail hammered itself into Drake's and Zoran's Body. The complete Blade was in his Body, and Drake screamed louder than the helicopter. Then the Viper retreated and while it did, it said in human.

“ You killed my master, and now I killed you. TTTZZZZIIIIISSSSSCCCCCHHHHH.”

“ Don't..... COUGH...... count..... COUGH…. Me Out....." Drake answered while he spilled out a steady stream of Blood.

He slowly turned himself around to attack the Viper, but when he had turned half around, his Eyes went black, and he collapsed into the helicopter. Ash and his friends pushed him in quickly, and Rocky began to pull up the Copter. However, the Viper hadn't enough. It made a little jump and was now in the copter too and tried to destroy it. Yet before it could make a move, Drake's Mate grabbed the Head of the Viper and said with cold Eyes and Voice into his Face while she forced her claws into its neck.

“ You hurt my son, and now you tried to kill my Mate. Hell is too good for you to suffer, but now you will go there.”

Next, she cut the Head from the Vipers neck and threw it out. Then she set herself next to Drake and tried to stop the bleeding, but it was no use. The Viper had done a perfect job. Not only that the Blade had gone through the complete Body, the Vipers Poison prevented the Blood from stopping, and so she had no other choice than to watch him die.

“ Drake. Please don't give up. Stay with me, PLEASE!!!” Drake's mate said under heavy tears.

“ I..... COUGH..... Can’t..... COUGH…. Please..... F…. Forgive … me..... AAHHHHH. My…. Eyes are..... Dark..... COUGH....... Ash...... Please…. Look..... Over..... COUGH..... Rosy..... PLEASE!!!”

“ Sniff…. I will…. Sniff…. I promise.”

That was the last thing Drake heard. His heart stopped beating, and his Body became cold. All had tears in their Eyes, and Drake's Mate let herself go by moving herself over her Mate, crying all of her Pain out. Then something happened. The Death Body began to glow with a bright white light and then in a pure bright flash it disappeared. Then one second later, another Body appeared. It was Drake and he lived.

“ W…. What happened? Am I dreaming?” Drake's Mate asks with wide Eyes.

“ N….NO. You are not dreaming. I´…. I'm alive, but I….he paid a far to … hard price. He gave me his Life…. SNIFF…. ZORAN YOU IDIOT. WHY THIS WAY?” The last few Words, Drake shouted out loud, and then he started crying as well because after the month's he had become a really close friend to him.

To be continued.
