Fate , Desteny or strange luck ( Episode 2 of 8. Death but not lost forever)

The Copter landed in the Pokemon center and all got out of it. Nurse Joy and Rosy were already waiting for them but they both quickly knew that something really bad had happened because they could clearly see the sorrow in the others faces. There, Rosy had spotted Drake and ran to him to greet him but when she was close enough she stopped and froze in fear because she could see his both sides clearly. " N..Ninetails, Nine, tails. Tails. Ninetails." UNIVERSAL TRANSLATER ACTIVATED PERMANENTLY "D...Drake, where´s Zoran? Is he saved?" Rosy asks " Rosy....Zoran is....Is...Is...." Drake answered while he tried to hold his tears back and Rosy knows what happened. "No, please no. Stop kidding me. Where is he? Tell me!" " Dammit. He is Death Rosy !!! He is Death."

Rosy froze in shock. NOOOOOOO...... Was all she could think until she tried to attack Drake in frustration. "WHY? WHY HE AND NOT.......AHHHH." She had shouted out but before she could finish, Drake´s Mate knocked her out by giving her a hard hit on her head. " Why have you done this ?" Ash asks her " This way it´s better then to give her, her death wish."

Drake then took Rosy´s body up and together they walked into the center. In there he lay Rosy on a Bed and sat herself next to her while the others gathered in the main hall to tell Joy what had happened. Later on that Day, Rosy woke up and looked all around and found Drake still sitting next to her. " So. If you still wanted to hurt me then do it. I will not stop you." Drake said to her. " Maybe I will but first tell me how it happened." Rosy answered.

He then told her all and she got first really proud of Zoran but then she heard how he ended his life. " So he decided to let his fate happened this way." " You knew it?" Drake surprised asks. " Yeah. You know that I was his first Pokemon and after he caught me, we both met a fortune teller who told him that someday he would give his life to someone that is really important for him. First I thought that it would be.....For me but now...... SNIFF, SNIFF....." She couldn´t hold it back any longer and for the rest of the Day she only lay in her Bed crying. On the next Day, Ash and all the others hold a mass for Zoran and once it ended all went inside the Center except for Rosy. She only sat next to his Grave and waited. Even as the night began to fall she didn´t move. On the next morning , Ash came to look over her and he saw that she hadn´t made a move nor she even had eaten something. " Hey Rosy. Come on. You have to eat something. Here." Ash gave her a hand full of Broke´s Pokemon food but she didn´t even look at it. " Rosy please. " Again nothing happened. " OK. You let me no choice." He tried to force it into her mouth but once his Hand was close enough she bite him in his Hand. " ARGH. I only want to help you. Well then. Rosy come b...." He tried to use her Pokeball on her but she was already awaiting this and when he holds up the Ball she grabbed it and threw it into a stone. The Ball was destroyed immediately and she was sitting there again as nothing had happened. " Fine. But why do you want to sit here?" " She wants to be next to him and nothing can bring her up from it." Drake said while he appeared behind Ash. " But why? I don´t understand it?" " Tell me. Do you know the difference between Love and true Love?" " Nope." " If you are in Love you only want to have Kids with Your Mate but true love goes much further. It goes so far that when one of the mates dies the other follows him. No matter what because they have no other thing left to live for." " I still don´t understand why?" " You will when you are old enough. Now come on. Let us have her will." " GAH.... Fine."

Later on that Day it began to rain. Normally she would run somewhere to get somewhere safe but now she didn´t care. With each Waterdrop she became weaker and weaker until she was knocked out. She began to dream of Zoran and the happy Day they both had and she deeply wished that this dream was real but what she didn´t know was that this wasn´t just a dream.

Somewhere in Heaven

Zoran had opened his Eyes and wondered. Is this heaven? It must be. It´s so peaceful here. He thought to himself while he got up and began to walk. He walked over a far wide open Grass area and saw so many Pokemon laying or standing around. Then he stopped because something happened. The Pokemon gathered around him in a big circle. Then they brought him to a big Lake and he could see an enormous Pokemon waiting for him on it. He slowly walked by his side and saw what Pokemon it was. It was Arceus and he immediately made a step back. " Hold on tight. You don´t need to hide yourself behind me." Arceus said while he still looked into the lake. " As you wish, but I don´t feel worthy enough to stand at your side." Zoran answered. " HAHA. Truly. You are not being worthy to stay at my side. You are more worthy to face me." Arceus said and a second later Zoran was standing in the lake facing Arceus. " What the...." "TZZZZ. Not this word here." " Sorry. Why do you think I´m this worthy?" " Why not? You saved so many life´s of my children and you even gave your life for one. So you are worthy or not?" " That´s true but still...Everyone had done this." " HAHA. So kind. Believe me not everyone had done this for a Pokemon." " So then. Why am I here? Is this heaven?" " I´m sorry but this is not Heaven. Just the front door if you like to say." " So where is the door then? I´m ready to go through it." " Really? Isn´t there something that holds you back?" " Holds me back? I don´t really know what you´re talking about." " Look into the lake and tell me what you see."

He did as he was told and then he saw Rosy.

" I see Rosy but something isn´t right with her." " Yeah. She is sick." " What? Oh no. I told Ash to look over her." " Ash hasn´t something to do with it. Look."

They both then saw that Ash tried to feed Rosy but then they both saw the result. She kicked Ash away and dropped the food to the earth.

" Why has she done this ?" " Like I said. She is sick." " Then why don´t they bring her to nurse Joy?" " Joy cannot do something against it either. The only one who can help .... Are You." " Me? Why?" " Because you are the one that she truly loves and you know what someone does that is in true love." " Yeah I know but how can I help her now? I´m dead and soon she will be too." " Look into the Lake again."

They both now saw that she was sitting in the rain and was knocked off. At this Moment Zoran heart began to burst in his chest. This was the last thing he wanted. She should stay alive. Not follow him.

" No. Please. Rosy fight it." " Why should I? You haven´t fought it either?" Rosy answered and surprised Zoran with it. " I had....No other choice. If there would be a way....I would come back." " You can go back." Arceus said " How?" " Look into your heart and see what´s in it."

Zoran tried it but he the only thing he saw was a white mist.

" I cannot see clearly." " Look into the lake and concentrate on it."

He did it and slowly he could see something. First it was a figure but then it came visible. It was a Ninetails but its fur was all white and his Eyes where fire red.

" What´s that supposed to mean?" " This is your true being. This is the form you wished to be since you found Rosy." " Am I really wishing this? I didn´t know that I..... I....."

Suddenly the memory of an event came back to his mind a then he said to Arceus

" I´ve had totally forgotten this. Yeah I wanted to be a Ninetails just to give her some peace or a family in law." " I can help you if you want." " Really? B...But I cannot give you something in return for this." " You don´t have to. Just be the one that you are. That´s enough payment for me. Well then. Are you ready?"

Zoran took a last look into the Lake and then said " I am." " Good. Now close your Eyes and hold your true form in mind hardly."

He did as he was told and slowly he began to sink down into the lake. Once only his Head was over the water, Arceus said to him.

" Now call for her as loud as you could."

Again he did as he was told. He filled his lungs to their Maximum and then he shouted out.

" RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. FFFFIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNDDDDD MMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

Then the lake began to glow white. The Light was so high that it could blind immediately.

Back in Reality

Rosy awoke in a bed in the Center. Was it all just a dream ? It felt so real. OH god I miss him so much. She thought to herself but then the Window sprung open and she heard something. The wind was whispering " Find me". This cannot be. Am I still dreaming? Then she heard it again. " Find me." This is real. Zoran I´m coming. She slowly got up from the Bed and walked to the window. The weather outside had shifted. The rain had stopped and only the wind was heard. In the next second , she had jumped through the window and was running towards the forest. *KNOCK, KNOCK* " Rosy... Are you awake? It´s me. Joy. I only wanted...... HELP!!!"

Joy ran outside the room and called again " Somebody help."

5 seconds later , Ash and his friends were standing in front of Joy. More sleeping then awake Ash asks Joy. " What......YAWN....Wrong....Joy." " She´s gone." Joy answered. " Who is gone?" " Rosy. "

After they had heard this, everyone was awake. They all ran into her room and looked everywhere but they didn´t find her. Then Ash too heard the whisper in the wind " Find Me." " HMMMM???? Find Who ? " " Rosy. If you wanted to know ?" Lucia answered " No, No. I know that we are searching her but I heard a Voice saying " Find Me ". " Really? I haven´t heard a thing." " There it is again."

All began to listen but...

" Have you heard it?" Ash asks " Me not. Did you Brock?" Lucia answered. " Me not too." Brock replied. " But you had too. I´m not a fool. I know what I Have heard." " I have heard it." Drake said from the outside. " Finally someone who..... Drake! I´m coming with you !"

Drake had already set off for the forest and without thinking Ash ran behind him but in his pajama he didn´t move far. He made only three steps outside and then his shorts got down to the earth and he made a nice and short flight over the grass, landing face first.

A bit later in the woods

Rosy was still following the Voice. It was like that she was in a trance or something. She knew that she had to walk this and that way but she also knew that she had never walked this way before. She reached a wide open grass area and she heard the Voice again, telling her this time something other. " You have found me now call my Name." She then wanted to do it but before she could, a big and cold stealhand grabbed her. She tried her best to go free but it didn´t work. Then she heard three too well known Voices. " HAHAHA. See . See Jessy. We got her." " HIHIHI. Oh Yeah. The long wait will finally end." " Stop talking you 2. We need to get away from here before someone else will arrive." " Who cares Meowth. Our Machine is invincible."

OH these idiots from Team Rocket again. Rosy thought to herself while she still tried her best to get free. It´s no use. I cannot get free. Please help me. Help...Me....

" ZZZZOOOOORRRRAAAANNNNNNN. " Rosy screamed out. " Ha ha. Try to scream as many times as you want. He cannot come to save you." Jessie said and then the machine began to turn but before it was completely turned a Hyperbeam hit one of the tracks, breaking it. "BBBWWWAAAHAHAHAHA....... " All three screamed on the impact. " Did anyone see the number of the train?" James asks. " No." Jessy answered. " AAAHHHHH. People, we got a serious problem. The left track is destroyed." " What? Meowth you said that this thing is invincible . " " That´s not my fault. If you gave me more money it would be invincible."

Then a second attack hits them. This time it hit the metal arm and the hand, with Rosy in it, fell to the ground. Once it landed it opened and Rosy slowly came out of it. Once she was free she looked around to see who had freed her. Her Eyes quickly focused on a figure that was slowly coming out of the shadows of the forest. First she thought that it was a human but then she saw that it was a Pokemon. A Pokemon that was...Was looking like her except for his Colors. His hole fur was white and his Eyes and tail tips where burning red and straight over his face he had a fire red ply. She slowly walked beside him and while she did she looked all over his Body. What a strange color. She thought. But it looks great with all the red on him. It makes him look so...So powerful and strong and....And.... DAMMIT. Stop thinking in such ways. He will never be in his position. But still..... Her thinking was cut because the foreigner said " Are you alright Rosy?"

How did he know my Name? No one except Zoran knew it.

" Hey are you dreaming. HELLO.....Earth on Rosy." " What? ... OH ÄHM. I´m fine but .... " He cut her again by pressing one of his Paws on her mouth. " Good. Now first let´s get rid of those three fools. Then we can talk." He now looked over to Team Rocket and to all wanders he began to speak Human.

" Hey you fools. You better get your feats and run as fast as you can before I will burn your asses to dust." " Have you heard what I heard Jessie?" " Yep I have but I cannot believe it. He spoke Human and the only Pokemon I know that can speak is Meowth." " HMMMMM..... I cannot believe it either. Finally someone that has gone through the same hard training just as I ." Meowth said under tears. " We better catch this one too. Don´t you think Jess?" " You have read my mind James. GO SEVIPER." " Carnivine!!! You are on......... WWWWAAAAAHHHHH Not me. Attack them." " Seviper. Poison Needle." " Carnivine You too."

Both Pokemon began to fire their attacks into the direction of Rosy and her Companion.

" As I know it. They both never learn. Well then my dear. Should we give them a lesson of respect?" The white Ninetails ask Rosy and she replied " With Pleasure."

They both then gathered some Fire in their mouths and then let a Flamethrower attack out. The Needles were burned away immediately and Team Rockets Pokemons were burned Medium as well as Jessy and James. The Pokemon ran away after they were hit and the trio quickly hides behind the broken Machine.

" OH James. I think that we made a big mistake." " Me too Jessy. Me too." " Folks, we must get out of here immediately."

The three then tried to run away but before they came far the white Ninetails appeared in front of them and said " FREEZE. You will not get away this easy. I will let you pay for trying to catch my mate."

Hearing him say this let Rosy go into total confusion. Why did he think that I´m his Mate? How can he be so sure about it? These and other questions were flying through her head while the white Ninetails set for his next attack. The whole ground around him began to burn and his Body began to shrink or it was only looking so because of the moving Air around him. Then he slowly opened his Mouth and spread all of his nine Tails. In Team rockets Eyes was only fear standing and then the white Ninetails let his attack go. It was a firestorm and it hit perfectly. The 3 and the rest of their Machine was hit and began to fly over the ground. Next they hit their Pokemon and then the machine exploded, sending the Team into the Air. While in the Air the three only said as always. " Team Rocket's blasting off again! "

Once they were gone, the white male slowly walked back to Rosy and once he reached her, he stopped. Then he began to speak " Finally the three are gone and we have some time for us alone." " Y....Yeah. I have so many questions but .... I cannot.....Bring them out." Rosy answered " You are asking yourself this. How can he be so sure that I´m his Mate and how did he knows my Name, right?" " Yes but how...." " You already know the answer." " No I did not." " You did but you don´t want to understand it." " What are you talking about. Tell me your name." The White Ninetails smiled as he said. " You know my name. You called me." " I.....I....Called you? No.... I called for.....For...." " You called for Zoran and here I am." " WHAT? Are you kidding me? Zoran was a human. Not an....An....." " A white Ninetail male that looks beauty? In my past life I was a human right . But now I´m a Ninetails. Only for you and thanks to Arceus I have finally fulfilled my fate." " No...That´s.....Impossible.... You...You´re not him. You are beautiful....I mean not." Zoran then let his Paw slowly slide over her head letting her get silent immediately and then he looked deep into her Eyes and said " Look into my Eyes and tell me what you see. Do you see my true form and soul of that life inside this Body ?"

She did it. First she saw only herself but then the dust faded and she could see him. She saw Zoran in his Eyes and all got clear to her or nearly all. "H....How could this be possible? You were dead and now you´re back to life and as ... a....a....Damn good looking Ninetails ?" She asks " As I said. It was only for you that Arceus gave me this Body. He said that I have earned this Body because of my actions back then and....He doesn´t like it when a.... A young and beautiful Lady tries to kill herself by Eating nothing. Especially when she has a.....Long life in front of her with the.....The man of her life and dreams." Zoran answered. What happened next was a dream or they both only thought it because they both slowly neared each other and then they kissed. Their lips only touching each other for some seconds but for them it was like hours. Then they broke the kiss and Rosy said a bit smiling. " You taste like a strawberry." And he answered " And you like Vanilla ice." " HIHIHI. Thanks. Well then. Should we go back to the center and tell everyone what happened?" " Y...Yeah but slowly. I have spent too much energy on these three idiots and I have .... UPS...." Zoran had made a step but then he crossed his feats and collapsed with his front. Seeing him so helpless Rosy couldn´t control herself and began to laugh loudly. " HEHHH.... That´s not funny..... I cannot move right in this Body. These four legs are more ....UPS..." He had stood up again but then he made the same mistake again letting her laugh even more. " Yeah....Yeah.... Laugh over me as much as you can. I bet you couldn´t move this easy when you were young." " HA....HAHA.... S......Sor.....Sorry... Your face was looking so funny. HAHAHA. And.... We can move after an hour past our birth. But why can´t you move now? In the battle you could move so fast and good?" " I don´t know. The only think I thought of that moment was to save you and all went on Autopilot." " I see. Well then. Can stand?" " HAHA. This is still easy." Next he stood. " Good. Now look at me. Only one feat followed by the other. One front and one back foot. Now you." He then tried it and it worked. " Nice. Now the other two and stand." Again it worked. " So and now let us go. Slowly step by step." They both began their walk towards the Pokemon center. On their way, Zoran got a bit hasty and fell over his frontfeats again but this time he landed badly and couldn´t move on. " OUTCH.... I think I have sprained my left leg. Shit. It hurts." " That is a problem. We have to move on. I can feel that the rain is coming back." " Go. Save yourself and maybe you can bring back some help." "Forget it. I ´ll not leave your side."

There. The first drop of water hit Zoran´s nose, letting him shudder immediately. " Damn. This is so cold. Rosy please go." " No." " But you will surely get ill or more. Please..." She cut him by barking into his face " SHUT UP. I have lost you one time because I was not there to save you. I don´t care if I get ill or more. All that counts for me now is.... Is......" Her face turned blood red.".....To be on your side till the end of our lives."

The rain sets in and they both began to shake heavily and they felt that their Bodies became really weak from the water. The rain became quickly strong and some Thundergrowls were heard. Feeling his Body weaken and seeing her collapsing in front of him, let Zoran try one last action. He tried to stand up and to move them both into safety but he didn´t come far. He only managed to hire is Head a few centimeters. Then it falls back to the ground. Knowing that only a wonder would help them, Zoran gathered all air he had left and screamed out. " HELP! HELP! " Then his vision got Black but before he was knocked off he saw a black shape in front of him.

6 Hours later

Zoran woke up. He looked sleepdrunk everywhere and then His Vision became clear. He and Rosy had been rescued by someone and now they were both in the Pokemon center or at least in a room of it. He looked over his Body first and saw that his Paw was bound with some bandages. Then he recognized that his nose was running and he sneezed lowly. Then looked over to Rosy who was sleeping in another bed that was standing close to his. As he looked over her Body he began to think. OH Fuck. I never realized how beauty she is. Her Body, her curves even her fur is so.....So.... Thank you Arceus for giving me a life that is....Is more liveable. He then slowly slid out of the bed and moved it to hers. Once the Bed´s touched each other he got back in and then he moved himself behind her. Carefully he maneuvered his body half under hers and then he began to hold her close to his Body. Feeling her Bodyheat on his Body was the only thing he wanted now and it seems that she wanted the same because at that moment they both Bodies touched, she began to relax even more and began to smile in her dream. Seeing her smile he smiled also and then he fell asleep again.

Again 6 hours later

This time Rosy woke up and looked around. She tried to move her Body but then she found out that someone or something was holding her. She slowly turned her head and then saw that Zoran was holding her like he always did back then. She had always liked it when he had does it and now was no difference. She slowly broke his hold and turned herself around so that she was facing him. Right at this moment he woke up as well and asks into her face. " Am I dead or am I dreaming ?" And she answered " No. You are alive and when this is a dream, do you want to wake up?" " No." " Then it is a wonderful dream that is needed to be shared."

They kissed each other again but not for long because both stomach´s began to live.

*Growl* "Hihi. Seems like someone is hungry." Rosy said to Zoran with a smiling face. *GROWL* " Ha-ha. Not so hungry as someone other I think." Zoran countered as her stomach was making louder Noises. "Touche. Let us go then. I bet that the rest is waiting for us in the main hall."

And so it was. After they had got up from their beds, they both first opened the door and then they walked right into their hands in the main hall. " Oh, hi there Rosy." Ash said with a full mouth. "ASH!!! Where are your manners. Talk with an empty mouth." Lucia said " S..... GULP..... Sorry. It´s that Brock´s breakfast is always so delicious." " OHHH Boys. Hey Rosy. Do you want to introduce your new friend to us." Rosy then nodded and tried to speak human. "He....a....Friend. He...He´s....Hungry." * GROWL * " Seems like that you are hungry too Rosy." Joy said while she sat herself down next to Lucia. Rosy nodded heavily and once she and Zoran had become some Pokemon food on tablets they ate as if there was no tomorrow. First Zoran didn´t eat but as he tasted a part, he couldn´t get enough of it. That was mainly because Brock had made the food and it was a special one , only for fire Pokemon. Once he was finished he looked over to Rosy and from one moment to another he began to laugh because around her mouth was a way of Pokemon food which let her look like a clown. Rosy stopped eating and asks Zoran. " What is so funny, Zoran?" " Your mouth. You look like a clown. HAHAHA." " HEH. Stop it. You didn´t look better by the way." " W...What? DOUW.... HAHAHAHA."

They both then wanted to go on but they couldn´t because from the moment on they had talked to each other, they had spoken both in Human. Ash and the others were completely surprised and speechless. Then Ash asks " ÄHHHH.... You two can talk human and where is Zoran? Is he not death?" " CRAP. I hoped that it wouldn´t come out this way. Yeah we two can talk like humans because Arceus gave us the ability for it and Zoran....Well.... It´s me." Zoran answered a bit shyly. " ÄHM... Can you say that again. I can´t believe what I´ve heard." Lucia said. " You can believe it. I´m Zoran. I was reborn in this Body because ....Me and.....Rosy wanted it. Or at last me only to save her from loneliness and death." " I see. So that´s why your blood sample is so strangely looking like it was human Blood." Joy added. " Seems so....HATSCHI! Damnit My nose is still running like a ....a....a...HATSCHI!" " Looks like someone needs a medicine to be cured well." Joy said smiling. " Yep but please NO INJECTS. I hate them." Zoran answered with fear in his look " Sorry but you will have to take two just like Rosy." " Fine.... Ladies first. I will wait in the backyard." Zoran said while he slowly moved himself back little by little. " FREEZE !!! You go nowhere until you have got them. Hold him in place Boys."

At this moment Ash and Brock grabbed Zoran Body and Joy took two injects out of her jacket. Zoran, seeing them began to move wildly but it was no use. The Boys didn´t let him go. At the moment the first one hit him, he began to cry like a pup and tried more to get free but again no use. Then the second one hit and then he was free. He quickly ran into a corner and licked the place where the injects hit. Then he looked over to Rosy and saw that she was becoming her injects and he saw that she didn´t resist. Instead she smiled devilishly into his direction. Seeing her so strong, he became a bit jealous. Next Joy whispered something into Rosy´s Ear and Rosy began to smile even more devilish. Then she walked to his side and said to him " I have something to show you. Come with me please." They both walked out of the center to a little pool. There they stopped and Zoran asks Rosy. " What do you want to show me exactly?" " This." Rosy answered and then tackelt him.

They both flew over the edge of the pool and landed into it. Zoran, who knew that this water could be his death, tried to swim fast to the edge but Rosy stopped him by grabbing one of his hind legs. " LET ME GO!!! I WILL GONNA DIE HERE!!!" Zoran screamed out but she didn´t let him. Instead she grabbed more of his Body and dragged it under water until only his Head was above. He began to go crazy. He tried to shake her off but it didn´t work. Then she laid her head to his and said into his Ear. " Silly Boy. You will not die here. The water is deep yes but can you not feel that the water is very warm ? It´s a thermal bath only for fire Pokemon and today it´s only reserved for us." Hearing her say this he began to think of it. Then he said back to her while he came down. " I´m sorry. I didn´t want to do all of this. Normally I don´t have something against injects and water but now all inside Body told me to dodge it." " It´s alright. That is all normal for a newborn. I´ve had gone through this myself and I was more....Let me say active on these points." " Really ? Then how about a little water fight?" " Try to get free first.......HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Somehow he had hoped that she would say this. He used two of his Tails and began to tickle her spots where she was most ticklishly.

" HAHAHA...S....S...STOP..... HAHAHA." She screamed out laughing loud. " Only when you let me go." He answered with a bright smile. " I.....I......I..... HAHAHA..... UNFAIR....."

Finally she let him go but before he was completely free she grabbed his Head and dragged him under water for some seconds. Then she let him go. " PANT, PANT, PANT.... What was that all about? Why did you do this to me Rosy. PANT." " Because Joy wanted it. She said that you really needed a bath and that it would help to cure our cold." " Very well then. Come to me please. Now I wanted to show YOU something." She came as he had asked her. Then she playfully asks him " What is it?" And he answered " This." He kissed her and this time he gave her a tongue kiss and while they kissed they both got down under the water but not very far. There they stayed a few minutes until they had to go up to catch some air. Once they were up they saw that the others had come out as well and had gathered around the pool. " Hey there. Wanting to join us? " Rosy asks. " If you don´t mind." Lucia answered. " No. Come in. It´s enough space in here . Oh and joy. Can you tell me where Drake is. I want to thank him for saving us." " I´m sorry but he and his family had already left this morning. They told me to tell you that they will await you at your new home. However what that means." " OH these old Fox. I knew that he has had something in mind." Zoran mumbled to himself. " Did you say something hon?" Rosy asks Zoran. " No, no. I was only talking to myself." Zoran answered while he thought to himself I hope that he will not do the thing that he was always thinking of.

The rest of the Day was only relaxing for all of them. After the evening meal they were all sitting around a table and were disgusting. " Come on. I need your help for my new performance. I only have two Days left until the festival starts." Lucia said to Ash but he only answered every time. " I´m sorry Lucia but I need Pikachu for my training. My Championship is in 1 week and I´m far behind my training as well as you." " PLEASE!" "NO. SORRY." " Hey you two. Stop arguing this hard. Let us all go to bed and tomorrow is all better." Joy said to calm them down and they all heard of her.

Everyone was going to his room and go to sleep. Zoran and Rosy tried to sleep as well but they couldn´t. " Zoran what is it that is bothering you?" " Bothering me? What do you mean Hon ?" " I mean that you didn´t say a thing since Lucia and Ash had started disgusting this evening." " Oh Really? Hmm.... I thought of what would we two should do next." " And ?" " I don´t know. I want to help Ash and Lucia but on the other side.... I want to go to the national park with you and spend my life there. I...I don´t know what to do." " Just like me. Hey I got an idea. Let us help them first. That is the best way to settle things with them. Don´t you think?" " Y...Yeah but are you really sure about this. You know that....That it could get a really hard work." " I am sure. Besides I want to get stronger so that I´m not in your way next time when something happens." " Thanks Lovely. This really means much to me but please don´t tell them. I want to surprise them."

On the next morning

Ash and Lucia where still on it. " But Ash. You have one week to train. I have only one Day left." "That´s your problem. Not mine." " ARRGH..... You are an idiotic Ass. " " Whatever. " " Stop arguing you two. We will help you." Zoran said loudly.

Immediately Ash and Lucia got silent while they both looked onto Zoran and Rosy. Then they both smiled and began to talk nearly at the same time the same thing " Thanks. Come with me.... No.... They come with me first. NNNNHHHH" " STOP THIS SHIT IMMIDIATELY OR WE WILL NOT HELP. " Zoran now screamed.

They both stopped talking immediately. Once they were silent Zoran said in a bit lower Voice.

" See. It´s always nice to get silent. Now let me tell you this. First we 2 help Lucia because her festival is near. After this we will help Ash. Got that?" " I´m fine with that." Lucia answered and Ash added " Fine. I only hope that it will not take too long. Well then. I go out and train a bit. See you at lunch then." Then Ash left the center and Lucia was to be beside oneself with joy. She quickly wanted to go out with them and train her performance but Zoran said to her " I know that you have your plans for us 2 but it´s better when you let us 2 practice alone because I´m already having a performance in head that wants to be showed and trust me. If these opening don´t make it under the top 10. All judges are fools." " HMMM.... OK but please let me know if you needed something." " We only need two things. A room to train and your promise to use us both at the start."

She agreed. The room was fast found. They simply used the trainingsroom of the center which was fireproofed and had a presentation station. The rest of the Day the two spend the whole time in the room and no one disturbed them. In the evening they both came out of the room with smiling bright faces and totally exhausted. They all then ate and then got to sleep afterwards. The next morning started hectic because they all overslept and Ash had needed to much time for breakfast. Now they were running towards the big Arena where the festival was celebrated. They made it in time to get there and Lucia was really nervous now. For her sake she was nearly the last to perform and behind her was only Kenny. Now they were waiting in the back room, looking onto a TV. They saw the performances of the other trainers and saw some really good ones.

" Oh, God. I hope that I can make it." " Calm down Lucia. You only go out there and let us do the rest. The only thing you do out there is to tell everyone that we 2 will act without some commands. That´s all." Zoran whispered into her Ear. " B...But what when something goes wrong? I don´t really like the idea of letting you 2 act alone. Especially when I don´t know what is coming." She whispered back. " Just trust us. We both know the risks that awaits us but for these we have trained. So banish these thoughts out of your head and concentrate on your win."

Right at that moment, Lucia was called out to go out and start her performance.

" Alright then. Time to do the unlikely part. You two have to go into a Pokeball." Lucia said to Zoran and Rosy. They both looked at each other and Zoran could clearly see that Rosy didn´t liked it still to go into a ball but she then took one of Lucia´s ball´s, tapped against it and disappeared into it. Now Zoran was on the line. He slowly took one ball too but then he waited. He gathered some Air and then tapped the ball also while he closed his Eyes. Immediately, his Body began to feel really strange. As if someone was dragging and drilling his Bones. Then there was only silence and he felt that his Body was flying or drifting. He opened his Eyes again and couldn´t believe what he saw. It was like that he was in the universe. Everywhere where stars and some colored dust. Then he heard a voice behind him. " Impressive isn´t it? " He looked over his shoulder and saw Rosy standing behind him. " Yeah it is but what are you doing here? Don´t tell me that you have escaped again only to go into my ball." Zoran answered. " HIHI. Silly. I´m still in my ball. It´s just that our balls are connected just like our hearts are. So we can change between them as we wanted and now I´m here at your side again." " HHHMMMMM..... I hope that will not take long until she let us out again. I´m feeling a little bit cornered in here." " Don´t worry. She is already standing in place." Back in reality, Lucia was standing behind the curtain and waited for it to open. Then she heard her name and it opened. She slowly walked out into the open and was greeted from thousands of fans. The hole Arena was sold out. Even the standing places where full filled. One´s she had reached the middle area she tried to speak but Mr. Contesta interrupted her by taking the word. " Lucia. I was informed that you have a special offer and a plea to make but before you do, I have to say something. Before the show started, I´ve got a phone call from a very old friend. He told me that you would need some help with your show. Well what can I say. I could never say no to him and here is your help that he said you would need but be aware. To make it fair you will be investigated much more than the others. Now then. If you wanted to say something let it out."

A big music Box was rolled into the ring and the light was lowered a bit. Next Lucia took the microphone.

" I have only to say thanks for your help Mr Contesta and to You fans all over the world , I want to say this. I will only call my friends out of their Balls but nothing more. They will act without my commands but don´t worry. They will not hurt anyone." She then gave the microphone back and made herself ready for her show. The light was lowered until it was quite dark. She then grabbed both balls and threw them away while she screamed out " NINETAILS GO!!!! FLOOD LIGHTS !!!"

The Balls opened and the music began to play.
