No one could prepare me for this.

~*~*~*~

After a long chase, Jaern made our stop. Pink paused.

"Jaern? What are you doing here?" A growl came from him as he and I locked eyes.

"You..... I should've expected you'd pull a trick like that. Your mother was the same." A hiss escaped me.

"You're the reason that we're orphans! You made a deal with Persephone to destroy the lives of Adam and Pink, you took Llumyal away from me and kept looking to kill me! It's surprising that you achieved what you did. You didn't know what was going on behind your back! You didn't deserve to become augur, you monster!" Jaern flinched.

"Look who's talking! Your mother was a bad guy. A grunt! A cultist! A murderer! She was one of us! And then she met your father. A pathetic man!"

"You're the pathetic man! You tore a family apart just to get famous! You petty little man!"

"You're the reason that this is happening! If you had gone down.... the rest of your family was easy!" He turned to Pink, who was watching them, Scissors still clashed with Rayquaza. "You're weak. Give up and join the rest of your family!"

"The only way that's going to happen..." She gulped nervously and pointed at Scissors. "If you get past this one."

~*~*~*~

"Nyx..." I gulped quietly as I pulled out my pokeball. "Let her go. She didn't deserve this..." Nyx smirked.

"Come and make me." I threw five of his six pokeballs. Five deltas appeared. Ivysaur, Rosalia, 2 Kirlia, and Bisharp.

"Let's go, guys......." A dark figure entered the room and crashed into his team.

~*~*~*~

How did I know Pink had caught up? The pokeball.

"Time for you to disappear... Giratina!" The large pokemon raced at me, as I clutched my pokemon close.

"Purple!" Lime screamed. Nyx threw her head back and cackled. I squeezed my eyes shut as Giratina raced at me.

Silence filled the room. I opened my eyes as someone walked past me and picked something up. A red pokeball. Not a Master ball. Not even a Great ball. A red pokeball. Everyone stared at the person who picked up the pokeball. I actually smiled with relief.

"And that's how you piss off the leader of a cult. Scissors!" Nyx was slammed into a wall in minutes.

"How?"

"I, Pink Midori, daughter of Adam and Llumyal Midori, chosen by Mew, defeated all 8 gym leaders, has arrived to destroy this cult! Leave or die, Nyx! Choose wisely!" Nyx hissed as she vanished. Lime ran over and hugged Pink. Pink hugged back. The two girls then went over to me. I set down my fainted pokemon and ran into a hug. The two girls returned it. I sniffled as Lime pulled back to see tears running down my cheek.

"Purple..." I glanced at her before collapsing. "Purple?" Everything faded for me after that.

~*~*~*~

I still don't know if I ever did anything. I just remember waking up to the two near me.

"Hm? Pink... Lime..." She placed a plate of food next to me.

"Morning Purple. How are you feeling?"

"Not....... that b-bad......."

"You keep freezing up."

"Great English there, Pink."

"Who asked you for your opinion, Lime?"

"The word is stuttering."

"Shush, booknerd."

"Wow..."

"G-guys..."

Afterwards, Shandowa gave me up and I got the pouch from Pink. I was grateful for my dad's gift. Just what I need.

If you're curious, it was a small medical device. When I was young, I was supposed to be specially watched because of some condition that I can't remember. But when my mom disappeared, Adam had promised to get me something to watch my condition. A little late, but we're good now.

~*~*~*~

Well... I've ranted on enough. If there's something specific you want me to add, let me know.
