"What the..."

Blake had arrived at the Midori home just in time to see a fight between Purple and Jearn. Purple was pale and against a wall. Jearn was holding a knife. Jearn blinked.

"And you are?" Anger flared deep down within Blake.

"What did you do?" He was staring at Purple, who was murmuring under his breath. Jearn grimaced.

"I only knocked him out... I-" Blake's finger started twitching. He ran over to Purple and checked his pulse.

"Why..." He trailed off as he felt his own heart soften. Jearn put the knife away and ran over, catching him before he hit the ground. Purple opened his eyes and stiffened.

"Blake..." He trailed off instantly. Jearn frowned as Purple passed out again.

"Damn it..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Purple woke up in a dark room and panicked.

"Ah... you're awake... good..." Purple glanced at the side as Jearn stepped out of the shadows. He calmed down.

"Jearn... what happened? Where am I?" He realized something. "Where's Blake?" He tried to get up, but Jearn held him down.

"You're at my place. I accidentally blamed you for my daughter's disappearance, and so I attacked you. My bad..." He paused as he looked away. Purple frowned.

"Where's Blake?" Jearn glanced at him.

"In another room. He's ok... just not awake." Purple glazed off.

"Oh..." He sat up slowly. "Do you know what happened to him?" Jearn shook his head.

"All I know is that he walked in on our fight, went to see if you were ok, and then collapsed." Purple's eyes widened.

"Can I see him?" Jearn nodded and helped him off the bed. They went into the room Blake was in. Purple sat down at the edge of the bed. "Blake?" The brunette's right eye opened slightly.

"Purple?" He whispered quietly. "What... how..." Purple smiled softly at him.

"I'm ok. How are you feeling?" Blake opened his mouth to say something, but then he fell asleep. Purple bit his lip. Blake had a reason for visiting him. Everyone has to have one. Pink didn't always need one, but Purple made it necessary. He lightly felt Blake's pulse. His eyes widened as he lightly shook Blake awake.

"Hm?" Blake opened his eyes to see a now worried Purple. "What's wrong, Purple?" He murmured.

"Did something happen?" Blake looked at him, confused. "You came to me for a reason. What was it?" Blake paused.

"I... I..." He gulped. "Was attac...ked..." Purple glanced at Jearn, who probably had his dad senses on. Purple looked back at Blake, who was staring off. Purple lightly snapped in Blake's ear.

"By who?" Tears appeared in the brunette's eyes.

"My... my..." He gulped as he quivered. "My... d-dad..." Purple's eyes widened.

"Why?" Jearn walked over and placed a calm hand on Blake's shoulder. Despite the calmness, Blake froze. Purple bit his lip again. "Do you know where your dad could be?"

"1783 Midnight Rd..." Blake immediately said. Purple nodded.

"I'll be back, ok?" Blake simply stared at him. Purple nodded to Jearn and the two boys ran off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They arrived at the house when they heard yelling.

"Britney ple-"

"Don't you dare, you nasty hellcrap! I know what you are, and I know what you did. Don't you even think about it!"

"Brit..."

"No! You abused Blake! It's written all over your face! Don't lie to me! You mutt psychopath player!"

"Bri-"

"No!"

The two boys looked at each other before running around back.

"I haven't abused Blake! I haven't seen him since he ran away! And he was 3!"

"I don't believe you."

"Brit..."

"Ehm..." The two people turned to the boys. The woman blinked.

"Yes?" Purple immediately identified the man as the dad. The man started to walk away. "Oh no you don't!" The woman grabbed the man by the collar. "If anything, you're staying here." The man snarled.

"Actually... Can we speak to him? We need to ask him something..." The woman chuckled.

"Of course." She dragged him over to the boys. He cursed under his breath.

"What?" Purple grimaced. He held up a picture of Blake.

"Did you attack this person?" Purple knew that Blake was a terrible liar when he's hurt or sick. If he is sick, he changes to sarcasm as his native language. If he's hurt... he drops the act and answers respectfully. The man frowned.

"Like I told this beautiful woman..." She had the face of, 'I'm going to kill him.' "I haven't seen him since he was 3."

"No... I know Blake. He doesn't lie when he's hurt." The man bit his lip. The woman snarled.

"So you did attack-" The ground started shaking before she could finish. Purple froze.

Shit... "Come on!" He groaned as he ran towards the shaking. "Jearn! Deal with him!" Jearn cracked his knuckles. Purple was running when he realized. Blake had Noivila.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Blake felt the shaking, he immediately tried to get up. Pain rushed through him. He bit his lip as he pulled Noivila out.

"What..." It noticed Blake and immediately went to his back. A few quick movements and the pain disappeared.

"Thanks..." He mumbled as the two ran to find Purple. They ran into him pretty quickly.

"Blake!" Purple grinned. The two boys got up and pulled out their poke-wands.

"PRECURE ON!"
***
A bright light surrounded the two boys. Inside the light was a silver, green, and blue background. Noivila appeared between them. Smoke covered Purple's body and his outfit appeared. Water did the same for Blake. The boys ran a hand through their hair, which changed it. The half-staff and quiver appeared in front of them. Their poke-wands were put into sheaths on their backs. They grabbed their respective items and landed.

"River of the Shallow Mind! Cure Dewott!"

"Speed of Chance! Cure Noivern!"

"Here and now! Pokemon Precure Duet!"
***
"Ugh... there are more of you... Catcher!" Bugger called out. The monster raced at the two cures.

"HYDRO PUMP!"

A blast of water struck the monster.

"MAGICAL LEAF!"

Several leaves smashed into the monster. It started firing its own shots.

"Ngh!" Dewott was smashed into a wall.

"Dewott!" Noivern flew up to dodge another attack.

"Noivern..." Dewott murmured. He watched as Noivern get smashed into the ground. His eyes widened. "Noivern?" He called out weakly. The smoke cleared, showing Noivern under the monster's foot. "Noivern!" He glowed faintly. He raced over and smashed the monster's leg with his half-staff. It roared in pain.

"Dewott..." Noivern smiled faintly. Dewott smiled and held out his hand. Noivern took it and got up. Their grip glowed. They smiled and went back to back. The glow surrounded the duo. Noivila appeared above them. An item appeared in their hands.

"Precure Duet... on!"

Smoke, water and leaves raced around them. The pokeball glowed in rainbow colors.

"Leaf-Water Combo..."

The cures touched the button of the pokeball.

"Rainbow Mercenary!"

A rainbow beam raced at the monster. It circled the monster. Rainbow sparkles spread out struck the monster, calming it.

"Happy..." Bugger hissed.

"I'll be back..." He then vanished. The two boys giggled as they deformed. Purple hugged Blake. He blinked.

"I'm glad that you're ok..." Blake smirked.

"Same..." Purple looked at the sky.

"We'll find you guys..." He trailed off, thinking about the other cures. He smiled at Blake, who smiled back.

"And we won't stop until we do!"
