Prolouge:
Ryu gazed out the window of the airplane at the vast ocean below him. "Passengers we will be experiencing some turbulence," a female voice blared over the intercom in both Japanese and English. "So much for sleeping on a plane," Ryu fastened his seat belt and sighed as the plane started to shake violently jostling a suit case loose over a small child's head. "Mommy!" the child cried as the suit case landed on its mother's head "We have a passenger unconscious!" a flight attendent yelled, "She's bleeding profously are there any doctors on this plane?!" There was a slight pause then two figures stood up one being Ryu, "I'll do it," Ryu and the other man spoke in unison. Ryu and the tall man with glasses and light brown hair dashed over to the woman, "Is my mommy going to be ok?" the small child who was a blonde girl holding a dall asked inbetween sobs "Yea she's going to be fine," Ryu placed a cloth on the woman's head, "name's Ryu Hitoshi," Ryu stuck out his hand to the man across him. "Derek Stiles," the obvious Derek shook Ryu's hand, "crap she's not waking up, looks like we're going to have to operate to get some skull fragments back into place." "Or we could do it the easy way," Ryu rolled up his right sleeve revealing some scars from the fight against the massacre demon, "step back!" Derek nodded the stood up and observed Ryu as he concentrated on the wound causing it to glow, "Is this another healing touch?" Derek thought to himself "Come on," Ryu pushed a little more energy forward that healed the woman's skull, "thank god," Ryu sighed. The passengers on the plane clapped at the small "performance" put on by Derek and Ryu. It had only been a week since Ryu had been out of school and already he was dealing with emergencies that required his strength. "That was outstanding," Derek commented Ryu, "how did you do that do you have a healing touch too?" "No," Ryu replied, "I'm one of the psychics from the Nsider academy." "Well it's an honor to meet you," Derek smiled, "I disagreeistant Angie and I were just on our way to Japan for vacation." "Ok passengers," the voice blared again, "we will be landing in approximatley half an hour so please sit down and get ready for descent." Once the plane had landed Ryu walked into the airport eager to see his grandfather Makoto Hitoshi. "I see you've changed a lot," an old man walked up to Ryu and put his hand on Ryu's shoulder, "it's good to see you again grandson." "Hey geechan," Ryu hugged his grandfather, "why did I need to come?" "The heirloom Ryu," Makoto reminded Ryu, "we need to see if will accept you." "Accept me?" Ryu raised an eyebrow quizically Makoto nodded, "First lets go to the Hitoshi family temple and get you settled in before we start the preperations for the ceremony." When Ryu and Makoto walked out of the airport laughing from one of the jokes Ryu had learned over the school year sirens started blazing. "Two men are holding 30 people in the east wing of the airport hostage," Ryu listened to the radio with tuned senses, "geechan we're close to the incident what should we do?" "Lets take these punks down I guess," Makoto spoke like a 20 year old as he spread red batlike wings, "it's a situation we have to handle." Ryu nodded and spread black wings which tore through his t-shirt. As policemen rushed past Ryu and Makoto with guns ranging from pistols to large rifles. "This is getting pretty serious," Ryu jumped into the air and started flying over the police men, "we're here to help you don't fire on us!" The policemen nodded then tossed Ryu a pistol and Makoto a pistol as well. "No body move!" a gunman raised his gun firing off one round into the ceiling, "If you do this girl gets it!" Ryu froze and looked at the girl's face, it was Sarah, "What must I do?" Ryu felt a bead of sweat on his forhead "Kill him," Sarah mouthed with tears streaming down her face then relayed a message through her mind, "I can't use many of my powers because these are redead summoners so they've frozen my ability to use repel." "What's the matter," the gun man smirked revealing yellow teeth, "can't handle the site of your girl like this, wait until we kill you." "Shut up foo!" a familiar figure appeared behind the gunman and melted the gun "Need a hand?" the obvious Polter appeared in the room.

Chapter 1: The heirloom
Ryu glared at his enemy then smirked, "You're outmatched by three psychics, you have a demon on your back," Ryu motioned to Lance, "and you're surrounded by 30 policemen so if you surrender all of us won't hurt you, but if you don't you will feel pain like no other." The gunman glanced around looking for a flaw in Ryu's statement, there was none, "Fine I surrender," the gunman sighed with regret. After the policemen had arrested him Ryu shifted back into his human form then looked at Sarah. "Thank you," Sarah smiled then ran into Ryu's arms, "I was so scared!" "I'm going to take a guess and say this is your girlfriend," Makoto spoke up. "No actually she's just an aquaintence that I'm just overly friendly with," Ryu replied sarcastically, "yea she is geechan this is my girlfriend Sarah." "Nice to meet you," Sarah bowed in a Japanese manner. Makoto bowed back not saying anything, "Well Ryu we should head to the family temple and prepare for the ceremony," Makoto glared at Sarah and Polter, "however you two can't accompany us." "Geechan I'm sure we can work something out," Ryu looked at Makoto's overly serious look. "There is no way!" Makoto snapped, "I was betrayed I'm not letting my grandson suffer the same fate!" "I've trusted them with my life," Ryu stated, "shouldn't that be enough for you to trust them?" "I can't believe I'm doing this," Makoto grumbled, "you two can come but if you betray Ryu for the heirloom I will send spirits of torture after you." There was an odd silence then Polter chuckled, "You've got a loving family you know that Ryu," Polter put in as much sarcasm as he could. "Watch it my geechan has short temper," Ryu whispered to Polter. "What did you say!" Makoto yelled "And terrible hearing," Ryu added. When the group left the airport Ryu noticed the Hitoshi temple standing on a hill about a mile away. "It's beautiful," Sarah gasped, "how long has it been standing?" Makoto thought for a brief moment, "I heard it's been around for about 1000 years, but then again my geechan was crazy." "So we don't know basically," Polter sighed, "I was going to take some notes on wood decay too." "Some things never change," Ryu groaned then grabbed Sarah's hand, "the ceremony might take awhile." "Well it better not," Sarah giggled, "I want to get around and site see." Once the group reached the temple two people rushed out with clothes for a samurai and shoved them in Ryu's hand, "Change now!" one of the people stated in perfect Japanese "Ok," Ryu responded, "just don't scream at me again." As soon as Ryu was in the clothes he was shoved into a room with an alter in the center of it that contained a very large sword that looked to have a blade of about four and a half feet in length and a hilt of a foot. "Do you Ryu Hitoshi vow to use the blade of the Hitoshi clan only for the good of humanity or have yourself rended in half by a demon?" Makoto asked in an almost hollow voice "I swear to only use this blade to rid the world of the wicked and those who seek to drink the blood of the innocent as entertainment," Ryu's face hardened as he grasped the blade, "I hope this works," Ryu unsheathed the blade and for a moment nothing happened, lines of dissapoinment crossed Ryu's face then suddenly a bright white light shown across the blade. "In 10 generations the blade has accepted no one," Makoto clapped, "Ryu, my grandson, you carry the blade destined to aid light against darkness," Makoto smiled, "I have never been more proud in my whole life of you." Everyone in the room started clapping, "We have to go celebrate!" Polter cheered The room then went silent, "Uh Polt you just spoke english in a room of where basically everyone speaks Japanese," Ryu stated. "Oh I forgot," Polter blushed, "well we should go somewhere anyway." Ryu relayed the message in Japanese and was answered with shakings of the head except for four nods coming from two teenage girls and two teenage boys. "Hey Ryu-kun!" one of the girls waved "Oh no," Ryu groaned. "What's wrong?" Sarah immediatley jumped to Ryu's side "It's my cousin Mako-sama," Ryu whispered, "she's the one with black hair and brown eyes." Sarah glanced around the room the finally spotted Mako, "She doesn't seem too bad," Sarah stated. "Just wait," Ryu stood up straight, "hey Mako-kun." Mako walked over showing off a thin figure in her school uniform which had a strange symbol painted on the front and back. "How was your flight?" Mako asked very politley Ryu readjusted the sword which is known as Oni, "Fine," Ryu replied, "how is your magic practice?" "Why don't we compare our skills?" Mako smirked

Chapter 2: And you thought your cousin was crazy
Ryu stared at Mako in shock, "Are you suggesting we fight?" "What else would I mean?" Mako sighed, "I swear sometimes you are so thick headed." "Well then lets go," Ryu set the Oni off to the side of the alter room, "magic against a psychic." Mako grinned devilishly then rolled up her sleeves revealing multiple symbols and pentagrams, "Lets begin," Mako began an incantation. Ryu followed Mako's lips with his own with the incantation then the last word they screamed out together, "Rakor!" Two waves of energy cut through the air then collided sending a shockwave through the room. "How did you do that?" Mako stared at Ryu in disbelief Ryu closed his eyes then reopened them, the iris was red, "I read your lips with tuned senses using my dragon aura as a magic conductor." "Clever," Mako began a quick incantation that Ryu couldn't follow which sent black lightning in Ryu's direction. The lightning arched toward Ryu's chest then quickly Ryu stuck out his hands, "Bind!" Three chains burst from Ryu's hands which split off after about two feet conducting the lightning away from Ryu. "He's really got the blood in him," Makoto rubbed his face, "I'm suprised they teach you more than psychic techniques at that school." "It's almost a normal school except for the fact of koopas, toads, icarians, kremlings, and a bunch of other nintendo species walking around, not to mension the fact that we're psychic," Polter stated in a comical tone. Makoto burst out laughing and patted Polter on the back, "Well maybe just those things." Anyway back to the battle before I get side tracked by too many things oooo shiney! Sorry anyway, Mako swung a fiery kick at Ryu which was blocked just the same as the other 10 she had thrown at him. "How are you not out of breath," Mako panted heavily. "Simple," Ryu's eyes turned black, "I haven't used my full power yet." "Are you suggesting these are my limits!" Mako screamed as Ryu spread black angelic wings which tinted red "No I'm suggesting you don't know how to control your power to the point of limitations," Ryu's iris turned red again, "if you want to give up I would understand." "Never," Mako took a breath then whispered a quick incantation that surrounded her body with a ghostly light, "now you can't hurt me with this protective aura around me." There was a slight look of dissapointment from Ryu then a smirk, "Maybe I won't be able to touch you," Ryu stuck out his hand which started glowing blood red then it turned black, "but I can destroy that annoying aura, uncreate!" As soon as the beam struck the aura it dissapated leaving Mako and Ryu panting, "I forfit," Mako stood up then walked over to help Ryu up, "you've gotten better." "A lot of stuff happens when you have people to look after," Ryu gestured toward Sarah and Polter, "anyway it's good to see you again Mako." "Good luck," Mako waved then glanced at Sarah. "How did he beat you?" one of the girls with Mako asked Mako smiled, "He's just gotten better than me I guess and besides if the sword activated for him then there's no telling what kind of power he'll have." Ryu walked over to the Oni and strapped it onto his waist, "So what'd you think guys?" "That was amazing!" Polter cheered, "Not even Seth had that kind of strength when you fought him!" "I know," Ryu smiled proudly then looked at his bruised arms from Mako's kicks, "but I don't understand how I completely copyed her spell." "I think I can explain that," Makoto stood up grunting, "what you did was you predicted what she would say next by using the strength from the Oni." "I didn't want to though," Ryu almost shouted, "it just happened." Makoto muttered something that was inaudible, "Then I suggest not using it until you have to or you have control over it." "Ok," Ryu nodded, "so what are we going to do for the rest of the two days I'm here?" "Maybe visit Iwata Satoru or Shigeru Miyamoto," Makoto stated with a hinting tone in his voice, "I do have good connections." "I should be going," Sarah stood up, "my family is probably wondering why I've been sitting in the 'bathroom' for an hour." "See you in a couple months," Ryu wrapped his arms around Sarah. "Or sooner," Sarah whispered in Ryu's ear then waltzed away. There was an awkward silence in the room the Polter blurted out, "And I better be heading back to the cabin before Yoriu trashes it." "You found Yoriu!" Makoto's eyes grew wide Ryu nodded, "We found her around Christmas and she's well." "Tell her I said 'hi' ok," Makoto turned to Polter, "and now off with you before I take my sword out on you," Makoto chuckled. "Yea later," Polter warped out of the room.

Chapter 3: The return
Ryu looked out the window of Makoto's house as the sun slowly rose, "The last day in the land of my ancestors," Ryu yawned, "then a couple months from now I'll be back in that torture building called school." "Ryu," Makoto spoke through the paper doors, "get up we need to visit our ancestor's graves before you leave." "I'll be out in a second," Ryu replied then stood up and put on a navy blue t-shirt and jeans. "Bring Oni," Makoto waved his hand as Ryu opened the door, "it's important that we do." A slight pause was between Ryu and Makoto then Ryu shrugged and grabbed Oni. When Makoto and Ryu were walking down the halls of the Hitoshi temple Makoto's face became more serious, "I shouldn't tell him what's really going to happen," Makoto clenched his fist as he thought. "Are you ok geechan?" Ryu noticed Makoto's expression "Yes," Makoto returned to a normal expression and smiled, "just fine." "Are you sure, I mean if seeing obachan's grave is going to be hard we can avoid it," Ryu tried to comfort Makoto. "It's not that it's," Makoto stopped himself. "It's what?" Ryu tryed to get the answer out of Makoto to no avail Once Ryu and Makoto reached the graveyard in the back of the temple after a long silence Ryu looked at one of the graves closest to him and it read, "Here lies Derek Hitoshi loving father, husband, and son." Ryu smiled then whispered, "Hey dad." "He was a bright one," Makoto wiped a tear from his eye, "anyway let us continue further in." As Ryu and Makoto continued farther into the graveyard Makoto pointed out about five graves that were samurai of old one being one of the black angels that assisted in the war against a darkness. "Here we are," Makoto stood before a statue of a man holding a sword at his side, "this Ryu is your name sake this is Ryu Yoran Hitoshi forger of Oni." Ryu stared in awe at the statue, "Why was I named after him?" "Your father took an interest in this statue and swore right where you're standing that if he had a son he would name it after the hero who forged Oni and ran from an evil that wished to posess the sword and became the first black angel to walk the earth," Makoto grinned, "quite a courageous man to take a sword, his wife, and a son and daughter to this land and build a temple to protect himself, his family, and a blade bound with magic and psychics." Oni started to shake in Ryu's sheath, "I think Oni recognizes its creator," Ryu let the sword land firmly infront of the grave then it started to glow brightly, "what's happening?" A ghostly figure started to rise from the grave then it grasped Oni, "Who wields the blade that I forged?" ghost Ryu held the blade point out at Makoto and the other Ryu (from now on Ryu 1 is the main character and Ryu 2 is the ghost) "I do," Ryu1 stated calmly, "I wield Oni." Ryu2 glanced at Ryu1, "So you are the first in 10 generations," Ryu2 inspected Ryu1, "you seem fit to wield Oni what is your name boy?" "My name," Ryu1 paused, "is Ryu Michael Hitoshi." "Well then," Ryu2 threw Oni perfectly back into its sheath, "wield that sword well and if you need me simply read the inscription on the side of the sheath." When Ryu2 dissapeared Ryu spun toward Makoto, "Is that why you brought me here?" "Yes it is," Makoto smiled, "are you happy that this happened?" "Kind of," Ryu sighed, "well when should I be heading back to America?" "We should be leaving for the airport in a couple hours," Makoto looked at his watch, "but we'll have some complications trying to get that on the plane," Makoto pointed at Oni. Oni shook obviously knowing it was being recognized. "Maybe we can work something out with it," Ryu touched Oni. Makoto glanced at Oni then Ryu, "Like what?" "Well I'm figuring since this sword is bound by magic and psychic powers it could transmute itself into plastic for the amount of time as the flight and pass off as a plastic sword that I'm bringing home to a little cousin with a little push," Ryu suggested. "That just might work," Makoto grinned, "you certainly inherited your obachan's brains." Ryu unbelted Oni and unsheathed it setting on the ground, "You may not like this Oni but we have to do it," Ryu muttered then concentrated part of his strength into the metal making appear plastic to the normal eye, "that's about as close as I can get," Ryu let out a breath of frustration. When Ryu and Makoto reached the airport Ryu quickly boarded the plane for fear of losing control of the illusion he had over the sword before he got through security. "We will be departing in 10 minutes be ready for take off," a female voice in Japanese spoke over the intercom with a lot of static involved, "please fasted your seat belts." Once the plane took off Ryu let the illusion wear off and kept a firm eye on Oni to make sure it didn't make any sudden jumps from the sheath now that he didn't have a hand on it. "We're going home," Ryu grinned as he let that thought run through his head, "to Yoriu, Polter, and the whole gang." Ryu closed his eyes and put Oni on his lap, "Home," the word echoed through Ryu's head.

Chapter 4: The black letter
Ryu stared out of the window at the school from Polter's house, "Only a month and a half of freedom left," Ryu sighed, "time flys quickly when you're hanging out with your sister and your roommate." "Ryu I'm going out," Yoriu walked up to Ryu, "I've got to go meet some of my friends at the mall." "Alright see ya," Ryu waved Yoriu goodbye then went back to staring out the window, "she's become more attatched to this side of the prophecy and she's make friends," Ryu grinned, "I'm happy for her." There was a sudden rumbling from a car driving down on the road below the house. Then Polter ran into the house carrying a black envelope, "This just," Polter panted, "came to us from the school." "School doesn't start for another month and a half why would they send it to us this early?" Ryu inspected the envelope carfully not noticing any out of school auras "It looks safe enough to me," Polter looked up at Ryu, "what about you?" "Same opinion as you Polt," Ryu opened the letter noticing the paper was also black written on with white ink, "it looks like next years supply list." Polter looked at the list then noticed another fold on the letter, "There's an extra fold on here," Polter unfolded the uh fold and then stiffened, "read this Ryu." The note read, "All sophomore students will be sent on a journey this year instead of the traditional freshman year in Nsider power college." "So what's the big deal about it?" Ryu refolded the note and put it on the coffee table "Don't you see the teachers at this school know something bad is going to happen so they're sending us as infantry and scouts," Polter stated in a frenzy of wild arm movement demonstrating some odd fights between fingers. "You're just being paranoid," Ryu sat on the couch and turned on the tv, "besides if they were really going to do that they'd send a represenative from the school to us instead of a letter so it was probably a prank by one of the interns there." Polter relaxed slightly, "Alright but still if we actually do we should buy the supplies." "I guess we should expect the unexpected after what we've been through," Ryu turned off the tv and looked at the list, "well we already have swords, no guns wait guns?" "And you're calling me paranoid," Polter rolled his eyes. "Shut up," Ryu growled and continued to read the list, "well I think we should get the rest of this stuff on the way if we end up leaving the school this year." **************************************************** Cruchy inspected the letter he had received, "This has got to be some kind of joke," Cruchy read down the list, "why would the school trust us with guns, sophomores who can barely control a duplicating process without freaking out?" "Calm down," a Hammer bro with a blue shell jumped down from a rafter landing perfectly, "you're over reacting Cruchy, besides even if they do give you guns I'm sure they'll tell you where the safety is." "Easy for you to say Mallet," Cruchy scowled, "you're a Xsmasher you always handle guns." "Does that make a difference," Mallet raised an eyebrow, "I was only a few years older than my little brother when I joined and I had no weapons training except for my hammers." "Well I'm going to get going and head to Polter's place we agreed that we should get some extra training in with our group of friends before we go back," Cruchy's iris turned purple, "take care Mallet." "You too," Mallet waved then sighed, "what good are the Xsmashers anymore?" There was a slight rustling then a young man in about his twenties walked up to Mallet with black hair and yellow eyes, "We're a break off of the Smashers besides," the man grinned, "when we are needed again we can show the world what we're made off for the first time in a few years." **************************************************** Sarah, Momer, and Blue blinked simeltaneously at the black letter that they had received, "This is a joke right?" Sarah looked at the item list then the noted, "They don't seriously think we're as good as beyond seniors, do they?" "Whether they do or not it deffinetley looks like it's from the school," Blue sighed and flopped on Sarah's bed, "we have to be going back soon though." "Yea we all agreed to train the last month before school started," Momer nodded, "but it'll all be good because I get to see Polter again!" "You're too happy about that," Blue giggled. "Oh atleast I have a boyfriend instead of just oggling Cruchy," Momer stuck out her tounge. Sarah was oddly quiet remembering the massive amount of power Ryu had exerted when he was fighting Mako. "Hey Sarah," Blue shook Sarah back to reality, "aren't you excited to see Ryu?" "Huh," Sarah raised an eyebrow, "oh of course I am it's just that my mind was wondering there for a second." "Someone wants something from Ryu," Momer poked Sarah. "No I don't!" Sarah blushed, "It's just that, never mind." "Come on we won't tell," Blue jumped off of the bed onto the floor, "what is it?" "You'll see when we get there," Sarah walked down the stairs with her suit case, "I can't tell them about the Oni without them fearing Ryu." Back up the stairs Momer and Blue looked at eachother, "I think we should get going," Momer grabbed her suit case.

Chapter 5: Arrivals
Ryu and Polter stood on the deck of Polter's house gazing at the sky, "They should be here soon," Polter took a large gulp of koopa-cola. "I see something," Ryu heightened his senses, "oh wait nevermind it's just some Flyguys." "Then what's that?" Polter pointed to a rapidly approaching dot "That would be," Ryu glanced at the dot, "Cruchy no wait, yea it's Cruchy alright." As Cruchy approached rapidly Ryu noticed he was being followed by some large flying creatures. "Well looks like we get to fight as a team faster than we thought," Polter activated his ghost aura and flew up to Cruchy. Ryu glanced at Oni, "I guess it's a time," Ryu unsheated Oni and flew up to the battle where there were atleast 100 flying creatures following Cruchy, "oh yea this is really a time." "Just got here in time," Cruchy stated bitterly as he shot a fireball through one of the creatures causing it to scream and fall. Polter glanced at five of the creatures around him, "Child's play," there was a sudden ripple in the air and the creatures stiffened up and fell to the ground. The creatures then opened their mouths letting out a horrible screech distracting Ryu for a short amount of time, enough to claw as his legs. "Get off of me!" In rage Ryu swung Oni in a horizontal direction creating a black fire wave before him burning 20 of the creatures "Woah," Cruchy gasped as the black fire wave engulfed the creatures. "Come on out Lance," Polter panted. "About time!" Lance emerged from Polter in a white smoke Ryu grinned wickedly as Oni was splattered with blood maybe I can try this out, "Blood lash!" Ryu screamed as he whipped Oni through the air causing large ruby colored beams of energy to strike down a few more of the creatures "We can't keep this up much longer," Polter winced as one of the creatures bit his leg, "reap!" The ghostly hands reached out and tore the creature's beak from its face. "You're right," Lance groaned as he kicked another creature in the face, "hopefully I can use my attack," Lance gathered up a small amount of energy, "slash!" There was a sudden pause then 10 of the creatures were split in half. "I barely have any energy left," Ryu panted heavily then rememberd the inscription on the side of the sheath, "hopefully this works, I call upon the soul of this sword to become part of my body and become my strength!" "What's he mumbling about?" Lance glanced at Ryu as he was enveloped in a brilliant light When Ryu glanced at the 20 remaining creatures he chuckled, "This is truely childs play for this kind of power," Ryu stuck out his hand and it started to glow white, "uncreate!" As the beam creeped toward the creatures it became intwined with black making it a shadow shooting through the sky. Then when the beam hit the creatures they were encased in an explosion that comepletley destroyed any evidence of them. "That was a big explosion," Lance stated wide eyed, "and such power from that sword combined with Ryu." "I bet the girls are wondering where we are," Polter spoke up, "they might be here." "You're right," Ryu made Oni's sheath appear right next to him as he sheathed it he laughed, "when we come in blood stained what do you think they'll say?" Cruchy burst out laughing, "Probably something like 'oh dear god what happened to you' or 'we've got to get that blood out'." When the group rearrived at the house they walked inside still laughing then Sarah screamed,"Oh dear god what happened to you!" "I hate it when you're right," Ryu glared at Cruchy then sighed and explained what had happened to Sarah, "but atleast we're alive right?" "You could have been killed!" Momer waved her arms wildly "It's good to see you too," Polter walked up to Momer and tried to hug her. "Get that blood stained shirt off first then you can have a hug," Momer pushed Polter away. Sarah looked at Ryu and noticed his leg, "Lets get that bandaged up." "I've got it," Ryu put his hand by his leg and healed it, "how are you?" "A little shaken up by this fact but other than that I'm good," Sarah wrapped her arms around Ryu, "oh thank god you're alright." There was a crash in the kitchen then Blue came out muttering something in Hylian. "What happened in there?" Momer spun around to face Blue "I dropped some plates and I have a shard in my thigh," Blue turned to reveal a shard of glass in her thigh. "Let me get that," Cruchy walked up to Blue, "now you know I can't heal you until I get this out so grab my hand and don't move," Cruchy extended his hand which Blue grabbed. "I'm ready," Blue gritted her teeth. "Three, two, one," Cruchy quickly pulled the shard out noticing it was covered in blood then healed Blue's wound. Ryu smiled at the amount of people in the room, "Well guys lets get some rest tomorrow we start our training."

Chapter 6: The training begins
The sun seemed to rise quicker the next day and once it was full in the sky Cruchy and Ryu were already outside. "So simple sparring match right?" Cruchy whipped a broadsword inbetween his fingers with ease
"Sounds good to me," Ryu unsheathed his katana and claymore knowing that if he used Oni he would probably kill Cruchy.
"Go!" Cruchy and Ryu shouted in unison
As the blades clashed together sparks flew into the air glistening off of the beads of sweat from Cruchy's and Ryu's face. "You've gotten good," Ryu brought his katana up in time to block Cruchy's broadsword and score a hit on Cruchy's leg.
"That or you're getting rusty," Cruchy jammed the hilt of the broadsword into Ryu's stomach, "or you're just not paying attention."
Ryu looked up at Cruchy then grinned, "Neither are you," Ryu kicked the broadsword out of Cruchy's hands and held both of his swords at Cruchy's neck, "do you forfit?"
"Yea," Cruchy stood up and brought his sword to him, "that was actually pretty fast pace for both of us."
"Usually when we do spar it's in the gym where we have limits to what we can do as far as techniques," Ryu explained wiping the sweat off of his forehead, "that and we wear armor which weighs about 50 more pounds."
Cruchy nodded, "True very true."
In the house Sarah gazed at a squadron of Paratroopas flying by. "Something wrong?" Yoriu walked up to Sarah
"What, oh no nothing's wrong I just got distracted," Sarah replied.
There was a small pause between Yoriu and Sarah, "It's the power Ryu has now isn't it?" Yoriu spoke up
"Yes," Sarah sighed, "it's kind of scary knowing he can do so many powerful things without even breaking a sweat or losing any of his power."
"I know," Yoriu sipped the cup of coffee she had in her hand, "but it's going to save us one day if he doesn't lose control."
"He won't," Sarah defended Ryu, "he knows how to control rage now."
Yoriu shook her head, "No psychic knows how to control rage even the most powerful ones."
Sarah opened her mouth about to speak but then shut it tightly and nodded. Then Momer walked into the room yawning, "Good morning."
"Good morning," Sarah smiled briefly then her face immediatley went back to a frown.
"What's wrong?" Momer sat on the couch next to Sarah
"It's nothing," Sarah shrugged Momer off, "I'll be fine."
"Either way we have to be out to train soon so try not to be too distracted," Momer hugged Sarah.
When Ryu and Cruchy walked back into the house Ryu looked at Sarah, "Hey are you ok?"
"Yea I'm fine," Sarah walked out onto the porch with Ryu following after her.
"Something's wrong," Ryu grabbed Sarah's hand, "you can tell me what it is."
Sarah looked up at Ryu's eyes, "It's that you're starting to scare me."
"How?" Ryu's voice became very melancholy
"The power you have, you're changing too fast, and that sword that you have is corrupting you Ryu!" Sarah started to cry, "Why does this all have to happen?"
Ryu opened his mouth then closed it, "I," Ryu breathed in, "I don't know all I know is I'll change what's happening for the sake of our relationship and everyones' friendship."
"Thanks," Sarah hugged Ryu, "well I guess we'll spar black angel against angel."
"Sounds good to me," Ryu grinned spreading his black wings.
"Don't think I'm going to go easy on you," Sarah spread her white wings, "just because you're changing everything."
"Like wise because I'm your boyfriend," Ryu leaped into the air, "I'll only half power though ok."
Sarah nodded, "Lets just get on with the sparring."

Chapter 7: Finishing the training
Ryu stared at Sarah in mid air then watched her vanish, "You're going to have to do better than that," Ryu spun around and blocked Sarah's kick then flipped her through the air.
"I thought you said you would use only half power," Sarah complained.
"I am," Ryu grinned, "you're just not paying attention."
With that Ryu split into three dissapearing and reapearing all around Sarah. "Which one of you is real?" Sarah looked at all the Ryus
"Why don't you figure out?" the Ryus laughed
Sarah stuck out her hand letting it glow, "Ok I will, repel!"
When all of the Ryu's were struck they all dissapeared. "That's not possible," Sarah looked around frantically for the real Ryu.
"Up here," Ryu dove down to Sarah and stopped a kick about six inches away from her face, "you just have to know what to do with half your power."
Sarah looked up at Ryu, "Want to head back inside?"
"Sure may as well," Ryu dove back to Polter's house.
(Sorry guys the rest of the training is going to go fairly quickly and so will the explanation.) For the next few weeks Ryu, Cruchy, Polter, Blue, Momer, Sarah, and Yoriu all trained with eachother improving their skills making them ready for the school year. As the sun rose on the day the group had to go back to school Ryu already was sitting on the porch gazing at the sunrise. "It's time isn't it?" Ryu sighed
Polter was gazing at the sunrise from his room, "It's going to be tough this year I have a feeling about that."
The sun started to shine brilliantly over the school, "Now it's time," Ryu blinked then when his eyes were open his eyes were black.
When Ryu jumped into the air Polter wasn't far behind him going toward the school. "Hey look over there," Polter flew up to Ryu and pointed west toward an aircraft, "it's the freshmen bus."
"Well look at that," Ryu glanced over at the bus and noticed some of the new kids were staring in awe at him.
"Why don't we put on a show for them?" Polter suggested
"May as well," Ryu pulled up into the air then a few seconds later dove down flipping through rings of fire that Polter had created.
Windows on the bus were being rolled down at this time. "That's amazing," one of the students called out.
"You haven't seen anything yet," Polter grinned and surrounded himself in fireballs which he shot at Ryu.
"Nice try," Ryu dodged all of the fireballs and converted them into water as they passed by him.
"Aw man we're landing soon," another freshman groaned.
"I guess he's right," Polter pointed out the landing site, "don't we immediatley have to go to the gym this year though?"
"Uh," Ryu thought for a moment, "I think you're right."
When Ryu and Polter landed by the gym they immediatley dashed inside hoping to figure out what was going on. Once they were inside of the gym Ryu was the first to notice that all of the sophomores were gathered around a giant tv screen with lists on it. "What's all of this about?" Polter turned to a nearby student
"This is where our teams are being assigned," the Koopa student stated with excitement, "I hope I'm placed on a good team."
"Teams for what?" Ryu asked
"The journey all sophomores are taking this year," the Koopa replied, "what you didn't know?"
Polter stuck out his hand to Ryu, "Five bucks Ryu."
"I knew," Ryu continued the conversation with the Koopa as he handed Polter five bucks, "I just didn't think it was real."
"Oh I see," the Koopa eagerly looked at the screen, "hey looks like they finally made it to the Hylians that are going."
Ryu then shot his gaze up to the screen and sure enough Polter, Sarah, Momer, Blue, Cruchy, and him were on a team together. "So where do we go now?" Polter asked
"I think you go to the cafeteria for further induction," the Koopa stated.
"How'd you know that?" Ryu started walking toward the cafeteria then saw a sign on a pole that the Koopa was looking at, "Oh."
When Ryu and Polter stepped into the gym they noticed a large assortment of teachers. "Which one do we go to first?" Ryu looked around then noticed Sarah, "I'm goin over where Sarah is and see if I can pick anything up from her."

Chapter 8: The beggining
"So let me get this straight," Ryu walked next to Sarah, "we're supposed to pick the path we want to go in and then get the materials for a month and also items for getting money with."
"That's pretty much it," Sarah nodded, "so where do you want to go?"
"I want to do the cross kingdom deal just to see what we can pick up arts wise on that trail," Ryu stated, "what about you?"
"I was going to just do the Mushroom Kingdom but we do have an entire school year to do this," Sarah thought for a moment, "what the heck may as well go with the Cross Kingdom."
Once the entire group had made up their mind on cross kingdom they were given their supplies and literally thrown out of the school. "Wait so what do we do now?" Polter looked back at the school
"We take a portal to the Mushroom kingdom," Ryu stated, "I figure if we hit there first because they have the most modern forms of transportation and that way we could get to our other destinations faster and stock up on more food."
"I actually think we should go to the Pokeverse," Blue spoke up.
Sarah turned to Blue, "Why?"
"Well just incase we come across any more trouble on our journey and we run out of energy some how the pokemon we catch could keep us alive and they have the most modern storage system so if we buy food there we can just store it in the storage system until we need it," Blue explained.
"There's only one flaw in that," Cruchy started to speak, "we can't carry around the computers they use to store this stuff so even if we did use the most innovative storage system we'd have no way of getting to our supplies when they're needed."
"What if they have a portable?" Polter asked
"What do you mean Polt?" Ryu turned to face Polter
"Well I'm saying if they have something that we can fit in our pocket we'd have no problem," Polter smiled, "I'm going with Blue's suggestion."
Everyone looked around and noticed nods, "Well I see no arguement," Blue started over to the line to the Pokeverse.
"Alright students," the teacher at the portal was handing out supplies, "your money will be converted as soon as you pass through that portal as well as your clothes and you will be supplied with one pokemon to fit in."
"Man they're really elusive about this," Ryu overheard one Toad whisper to the person next to him.
"They have to be," Ryu brought himself into the conversation, "if we weren't disguised it'd be war breaking out for sure."
"Well that makes some sense," the Toad scratched his head, "but why do we have to change so much?"
"If we didn't we would be attacked by both villagers and criminals in that universe," one of the Toad's Kremling friends knocked him on the head.
"The portal will be jumping this line of students in 10 minutes," the portal speakers blared. The students in line tensed knowing that if they didn't take this portal now there was no changing their mind for a week.
"Students you will be seperated into different regions and towns based on your groups," the teacher suddenly nodded to herself, "also you will receive three pokemon instead of one now all starters."
"Five minutes," the speakers blared again.
"Go into another line now if you wish," the teacher spoke in a normal voice because of the silence of the students, "if you wish to stay you will be jumped in three minutes."
"Are you ready for this," Ryu looked to his right and left at his friends.
Polter nodded, "We've always been ready for big challenges."
"This won't be any different," Momer smiled at Polter, "no matter what we do."
"Two minutes," take a guess who said that.
"We're going to be there as a team," Ryu nodded in agreement, "and no matter where we go."
"We'll look out for eachother," Sarah grabbed Ryu's hand, "whatever hardship."
"There are going to be people we can turn to," Blue looked at the portal count down.
"And that's eachother," Cruchy looked at the final 30 seconds.
Not long after Cruchy finished what he had said the entire group of students was enveloped in a bright light and vanished. "God speed," the teacher smiled and stepped away from the portal and watched other students dissapear, "all my students last year now they're in their own hands and the hands of eachother."

Chapter 9: Rough start Ryu looked around at the portal's edges as they shifted color from blue, to purple, then back to blue again. When Ryu looked forward a white light was rapidly approaching then when he passed through it, black. "Oh my aching back," Polter groaned as he strained to sit up. "What just happened?" Cruchy looked up at the sky to see the portal closing "I'm guessing ateast half way through that it got shorter and dropped us about 50 ft above the ground," Momer rubbed the back of her head and winced in pain as she ran her fingers over a lump. As Sarah stood up she screamed with excitement. "Good god you have enough air in your lungs to wake a dead man," Blue grabbed her ears in pain, "what's the deal with you screaming anyway?" "Look at our clothes!" Sarah cheered Sure enough like the teacher had said the teams' clothes had changed through the portal. "Didn't she say something about pokemon too?" Momer asked as she felt the back pack she wore "I think so," Ryu sat up unable to stand from the fall, "if I'm right they should be on our belts somewhere," Ryu felt around his belt and as he did three little lumps stood out on his belt. "Hey I found mine," Polter stated with excitement then pulled one pokeball out, "go whatever you are!" The pokeball soared high into the air then opened up letting loose a beam of red light that formed into the shape of Treeko. "Alright my turn," Cruchy pulled out a pokeball, "come on out!" It was almost the same result with Cruchy's pokeball except a male Charmander came out of the pokeball. From Sarah's came a Squirtle, from Momer's a Mudkip, while from Blue's a Pikachu. "Come on Ryu you haven't done yours," Sarah walked over to the struggling to stand Ryu. "Ok," Ryu grabbed one of his pokeballs, "lets go!" When the pokeball opened a small bird flutterd out normally known as a Torchic. "Tor!" the small pokemon chirped "Hey little guy," Ryu picked up the Torchic and it shot embers in Ryu's face, "ow." "Lets bring these guys back in just incase someone's looking at us," Cruchy lowered his cap over his face to conceal any facial features, "Charmander return." Once all of the pokemon were back in their pokeballs Ryu pulled out a map of the surrounding area from his Pokedex which he spent five minutes searching for. "Alright," Ryu enlarged the map by pressing a holographic button, "we landed somewhere in the Hoenn region it looks like a fairly small town with a pokelab, probably a starting town." "As long as we can find a place to get a good nights sleep and directions to the nearest pokemon area I'm good," Blue stated, "I'm looking at it this way probably Darian knows we're here and he's going to send troops after us so the only we can combat in this area is with pokemon unless we drastically need to use our guns, swords, or powers." "And that's only if they use them first right?" Sarah looked around to a series of nods Ryu looked up to a cliff and noticed a figure that looked like a human looking down at them, "We've been spotted lets get moving as fast as we can to the town then out of it." "What about stopping to eat?" Cruchy asked as he started running next to Ryu "If we stop that person up there might get a good description of us and as far as I know they could have been watching us since we landed," Ryu panted out, "and besides we have enough camping equipment to keep us dry and safe," Ryu patted his back pack. "I guess that's true enough," Polter ran up next to Ryu also then whispered, "what if they're Darian's men?" Ryu's face suddenly tensed, "They better pray they're not." *********************** "Who were those people bro?" a small child turned to a boy running next to him "I don't know but they just dropped out of the sky," the other child a little bit older replied. "Do you think we should tell mom and dad?" the younger one asked The older one shook his head waving around brown hair, "No Brandon if we did do you think they'd believe us?" "Good point Dave," Brandon scratched a head full of light brow hair then closed his green eyes for a second, "hey what if we sent our Swellows to spy on them." "No they'd probably hurt them," Dave stopped Brandon as he reached for a pokeball. ****************** Ryu stopped and started breathing heavily, "Guys we'd better stop and take some cover to gain our energy back because we can't use our powers." "I don't see any objections," Polter sat behind an over hung rock and began sipping at some water he had, "and from here we can plan further."

Chapter 10: Misunderstanding Ryu looked up at the sky as he rested, "It's getting close to evening," Ryu took the last bite of one of his apples, "lets get moving to the town from the looks of it on the map it's only about half a mile away so we should be there before dark." "Sounds good to me," Polter stood up and stretched, "hopefully those people who were following us weren't spys for the town." "In this peaceful region of Hoenn," Cruchy shook his head, "no way remember in the games this place was the most peaceful out of all of the towns." "That's because it wasn't real life smart one," Ryu started running again, "half a mile until the town two hours until sun set it should work out just fine maybe even a little better." As the team ran the two children had long since dissapeared back to the town. "So you're saying what?" a man with a beard raised an eyebrow quizically at the two children before him "A group of 6 people with pokemon appeared out of no where and started heading for this town," Dave explained, "look how many times do we have to tell you Professor they could be part of team Magma, Rocket, or Ocean (forgot the other one ) and attack this town?" "Alright alright if I see anyone that fits your description I'll send my pokemon after them and we'll put them in jail alright," the Professor nodded to both Brandon and Dave, "now go run along home I'm sure your mother is wondering where you two have gone off to." The brothers nodded and ran out of the door. "Do you think he'll actually do it?" Dave asked as he looked toward the town entrance "Hopefully I don't want this place to be attacked again," Brandon shuddered at the thought of this peaceful town being attacked. "There it is guys," Ryu waved his hand over the hill toward a small town, "a place we can stay for the night." "Alright," Polter grinned, "we're getting off to a pretty good start wouldn't you say?" "Yea that's like a first for all of us," Blue giggled, "especially you Polter." "Hey what's that supposed to mean?" Polter blushed Ryu stuck both of his hands up silencing Polter and Blue, "Guys come on lets just get to the town and get this over with." Once the group reached the town gates they started hearing alarms being sounded. "What's going on?" Sarah glanced around at spotlights being turned on toward them "Quick find cover!" Ryu barked Almost instantly the group's members were hidden behind rocks and buildings. "Where could they have gone?" Polter heard a female voice growl in anger "Growlithe," a small dog like pokemon known as Growlithe began to uh growl in Polter's direction. "What is it boy do you smell something?" the same female voice asked "Crap," Polter felt a bead of sweat drip down his face, "go Totodile!" Suddenly in a red glow that gave away Polter's position a small blue alligator like pokemon popped out of Polter's pokeball. "Freeze perp!" the woman held up a gun to Polter "Look I don't mean to harm anyone," Polter raised his hands then felt Lance's power welling up, "easy Lance," Polter spoke to himself. "Then why did two small boys report that you appeared out of no where and one of you glanced in their direction?" the police officer questioned Polter "We mean no harm to this village we just need a place to sleep and rest," Polter explained as he slightly lowered his hands. "I don't believe you," the woman scowled, "Growlithe flamethrower on the boy!" As the fire spun toward Polter, Polter raised his arms in defense then remembered Totodile, "Totodile watergun now!" The small pokemon jumped into the air and shot a powerful blast of water which hit the fire beam and Growlithe sending it to the ground. "Give up boy," the woman smirked as Ryu, Sarah, Momer, Cruchy, and Blue were all in hand cuffs, "you lose." Polter looked around at his defeat, "Fine," Polter stuck out his hands, "take me away too." When the group was thrown into jail stripped of their pokemon Ryu slammed his hand against the wall causing part of it to shatter. "Why couldn't we fight them!" Ryu roared "Calm down Ryu," Cruchy put his hand on Ryu's shoulder but felt Ryu's shoulder heat up, "look I'm sure we'll get out of here just fine." "Shut up," Ryu snapped, "apparantley you don't realize the big picture with us helpless Darian can attack this village and many others without us to fear because we can't use our powers to break out of here without being seen!" Polter suddenly stood up and pinned Ryu to the wall, "Shut up man I've dealt with you through a lot and never seen you act like this before what's your problem?" "I can hear my pokemons' thoughts," Ryu grabbed Polter's hand, "they're scared and they need help," Ryu was dropped to the ground, "and I just thought of a way we can use our powers to get out of here."

Chapter 11: Peace Ryu looked at the security camera that watched their cell and as soon as it turned Polter engraved the image of the entire group just hanging around and talking using an illusion kinesis. "Alright so what do we do now?" Polter asked "Uh," Ryu looked up at a ventilation system grate, "if I can get up and in there and set up a decoy in the bed over there in about 10 minutes I'll be able to sneak through and get our pokemon out of the containment so they can get us out of here." "So how do we do the decoy?" Sarah turned to Ryu "Set up some pillows to mirror my body shape in the bed over there," Ryu pointed to the bed and after the pillows were set Ryu took off his shirt, his cap, his shoes, and his pants leaving him in a white tank top and boxers. "I did not need to see that," Polter grimaced as Ryu jumped into the ventilation grate. As Ryu crawled through the vent he stopped at every grate and looked down into the room. "Man can you believe that those kids evaded our forces for that long before arrest?" a woman with bluish green hair poured herself a cup of water "I know," a woman with identical features was sitting at a table doing a crossword, "what suprises me the most though is that they're just sitting in their cell talking normally even though they're in jail." "I'd better check on them," the woman with the water set her glass down and got up. "Crap," Ryu started to crawl faster until he saw what he presumed to be an evidence room with their pokeballs and other equipment in that room, "come on up," Ryu grinned as the pokeballs dematerialized then rematerialized on an energy chain that was connected to his back. Polter glanced up at the vent then noticed some movement as Ryu jumped through the vent and hurriedly flung his clothes back on. "Alright what's going on in there?" the female officer looked around "Nothing," Ryu looked around the room, "was there any noise over here?" "Well no it's just that we do rounds to check on prisoners," the officer explained, "anyway if you try anything funny I'll," the officer picked up her communicator which was buzzing, "what is it, wait, are you serious a film loop." "Oh boy," Polter reached for one of his pokeballs. "Ok tell the truth what's going on in here?" the officer reached for her gun Ryu chuckled, "This, go Torchic!" Ryu tossed his pokeball to the ground then Torchin popped out, "Use ember on her gun!" "Torchic!" the small pokemon spat out a beam of small fires that knocked the gun from the officers hand "Now Bulbasaur use razorleaf to break the lock!" Blue shouted Once the lock was broken Ryu jumped out and kicked the gun away from the officer. "Now you're going to listen to our side of the story with a lie detector or you're going to get it," Ryu raised his fist, "you got that?" The officer nodded then led the team to a small room with a machine in the center, "We'll hook you up to that," the officer plugged Polter into the machine, "now tell us why you're here." Polter sighed then began to explain the story, "We came here on an assignment and when we landed we needed a place to find shelter for the night so we came here but whoever told you that we were bad guys or something," Polter paused to breathe, "was spotted by Ryu over there so we started to run raising the suspicion so then you came along and arrested us." A sheet of paper printed from the machine, "Well I'm terribly sorry about this," the officer showed Polter the results, "we made a mistake in arresting you on those charges but attacking an officer." "My fault," Ryu spoke up. "We can arrest you on those charges and," the officer was cut off by a sudden explosion outside, "we'll have to wait out the verdict grab your pokemon and come with me." "Where are we going?" Cruchy asked "The city is underattack by Magma again," the officer ducked as a piece of debris shot over her head as she ran out of the door. Three figures stood on a hill all with fire type pokemon by there side. "Bring us the children!" one of the taller figures screamed over the noise "We will not let you harm our children," Professor Elm stood firmly grabbing a pokeball. "Not your children," the tall figure raised a finger and pointed at Ryu, Polter, Sarah, Blue, Cruchy, and Momer, "those children."

Chapter 12: Branches of Darkness "What if we do give you the children?" a male villager turned toward the three figures "Then we'll put you into slavery to find jewels and possibly ancient pokemon," the tall figure replied, "oh and if you don't, we'll kill you all very slowly," the figure pulled out a jagged sword that was rusty and cackled. Dave stepped forward with a pokeball out, "Leave our village alone!" The tall figure turned its head in almost a mechanic motion then snapped it's face toward Dave freezing Dave in mid throw. "So we have a brave one," the tall figure laughed sending fear through every villager, "he'll be the first to die." "No!" Brandon ran up to Dave but was stopped by Ryu, "Let go of me!" "You can't fight them," Ryu threw Brandon toward two adult males who restrained him, "I can," Ryu threw off his vest, cap, and back pack. "So you give yourself up to death for a boy," the tall figure cackled madly then grinned, "Fara, Dune, get him." The other two figures jumped high into the air with their pokemon following them. Polter looked up into the air scanning with his eyes, "Ryu look out!" Polter pointed toward the mountain There was a small glow then a large spiraling wave of fire shot toward Ryu who was unmoving. "He's going to die if he doesn't move," one of the villagers pointed out obviously horrified. "Too easy," Ryu still was unmoving when the fire struck him. "Got him," the tall figure threw back his head and laughed then looked down at the fire that was a perfect dome around Ryu. Some of the villagers started to cry then the others realized that something was different. "You make this all too easy," Ryu let the fire receed around him and there was no damage to his body, "now die," with that Ryu dissapeared. "Where'd he go," a few villagers looked around then noticed small shockwaves coming from the sky, "what in the world." Up in the sky Ryu was in his black angel form fighting the two figures who were on the back of flying pokemon specifically Charizard and Flygon. "Flygon hyper beam now!" the fatter figure known as Dune barked The Flygon reared back its head then released a beam of raw energy straight at Ryu who warped out of the way. "Boo," Ryu whispered in a gravely voice as he placed his hand to the back of Dune's head and shot a fireball through Dune's head. "Dune!" the obvious Fara wailed, "Die now boy, Charizard give him everything you have!" The Charizard opened its mouth then shot out a massive wave of fire that Ryu effortlessly batted away. "I don't die that easily," Ryu pulled out his Claymore and flew straight at Fara and pierced him through the chest knocking him off of Charizard. A villager who was looking up at the battle above felt a drop on her face and wiped it off, it was blood. "What in the world?" the woman looked up and realized that Ryu was pushing Fara toward the ground, "Get out of the way everyone!" Once the villagers dove out of the way Ryu pushed Fara's corpse into the ground and pulled his sword out. "How could you kill my two best servants?" the tall figure visibly shook with the Salamance by its side, "No matter," the figure aimed a hand at Dave, "slit!" Ryu dove infront of Dave then stuck out his hand, "Uncreate!" Both powers met in mid air both fighters pushing furiously against eachother. "You shall fall under my power," the figure added more power into his slit attack. Ryu felt the power pushing on his uncreate beam, "Alright then," Ryu stood up straight, "chains of uncreation!" Ryu shouted Suddenly uncreate had black chains branching from it which shot through the tall figure's chest. "I," the figure went limp, "I have died." The villagers were hesitant then started clapping as Ryu let his wings go back into his body and his eyes return to normal. Ryu put his cap back on as well as his vest and back pack. "Sorry," Brandon walked up to Ryu with his head down, "we told the officers you were bad guys." Brandon then felt a hand on his head. "Hey it's ok," Ryu pulled his hand off of Brandon's head, "we all make mistakes and from those mistakes we become stronger." Sarah walked up to Ryu, "Are you ok that flamethrower hit you hard." "I'm fine," Ryu smiled, "it's going to take a lot more than a predictable attack to defeat me." "We're sorry we mistreated you," Professor Elm walked up to Ryu, "please let us take you and your friends out for dinner." "That'd be great," Polter smacked himself on the head, "but we have no money." "That's ok I'll pay for it it's the least I can do for you saving my nephew," Professor Elm clapped Polter on the shoulder, "now lets get going." Cruchy suddenly let out a steady steam of curses, "Guys get over here," Cruchy stated with anger in his voice. Ryu dashed over to Cruchy, "What is it?" Ryu looked down and noticed Darian's symbol on the figure of Fara "It's Darian isn't it," Polter grimaced. "Yea," Ryu's face hardened, "everyone here train your pokemon as much as you can my friends and I have to get out of this village immediatley."

Chapter 13: The rain "Thank you for your offer but we really have to decline," Blue bowed multiple times as she ran out of the village into a wilderness after Ryu, Polter, Cruchy, Momer, and Sarah. Cruchy glanced behind him, "It's about time," Cruchy chuckled then felt a sharp blow on the back of his head from Blue. "That's what you get for laughing at me trying to get us away from that village," Blue hit Cruchy again knocking him over. Farther up the trail Ryu was looking up at the sky, "It looks like it's going to rain and we've only traveled two miles," Ryu sighed, "we have to set up camp for the night." "Can't we travel until it rains?" Momer asked Ryu shook his head, "No if we do we might get our equipment wet and if we do we'll be cold all night and I don't know about you guys but I don't want to be sleeping wet and cold for five hours." "He's got some what of a point," Cruchy felt a drop on his head, "we'll have to set it up fast." Once the tents were set up watch guards were decided and Blue and Cruchy were first for each tent. A few minutes later the rain picked up, "This is insane," Blue shielded her eyes, "why do we have to watch when it's freezing cold and raining out here?" Cruchy glanced over at Blue then removed the jacket he had on and placed it over Blue's shoulders. "I don't need it," Cruchy stated, "I'm warm enough." "Are you sure?" Blue pulled the jacket tighter around her, "You're shivering." "I'm fine," Cruchy stated as he gripped his arms for warmth, "I can just do this anyway." There was a small silence then thunder split through the air and Blue winced. "Are you ok?" Cruchy turned toward Blue "Yea I'm fine," Blue winced again as the thunder sounded then she felt an arm around her. "We have time," Cruchy pulled Blue closer to him, "why don't you tell me why you fear thunder." A flash of lightning illuminated Cruchy's face looking at Blue. "Ok," Blue sighed, "it was back when I was a little kid and Koneko and I had a little pet Growlithe, yes we used to live in this universe, anyway there was a bad thunderstorm and we had to get inside and we tried to bring Growly in but he wouldn't come." "Go on," Cruchy grabbed one of Blue's shaking hands and felt an extreme amount of warmth. Blue nodded, "Ok I will, anyway he wouldn't come and my mom, dad, Koneko, and I hid in the basement and waited out the storm," Blue shook and grasped Cruchy's hand, "then Koneko and I went outside to look for Growly and it turns out a few minutes after we went inside Growly was struck by lightning, I couldn't help but cry my eyes out I was only 3." Cruchy bowed his head, "So then what happened?" Cruchy asked "What?" Blue looked up "That can't be the only reason you're afraid of thunder, there's something deeper," Cruchy explained quickly, "something or someone else died." "Yea some people did," Blue started to cry, "my parents." Cruchy let Blue's hand go, "I'm sorry I never should have asked I mean I shouldn't have made you." "They died in a car crash because of slick roads and when they crashed it was a car that got struck by lightning heating the car up to high temperatures blowing it up," Blue cried into Cruchy's shoulder, "at that time I was 5 and Koneko was 6, now she's gone too so are grandma and grandpa." The only sound Cruchy could hear was Blue crying, "You've lost so much," Cruchy grabbed Blue's hand again, "and gained so little but I won't let the same fate that befell your family befall you." Blue blushed, "You what?" "I'm going to protect you Blue," Cruchy felt the rain let up, "as long as I live I'm going to be your Guardian Angel." "Do you promise?" Blue asked semi childishly "I promise," Cruchy felt a sharp pain in his back then stepped by the telekinesis protected fire and let gray angelic wings spread, "you won't be alone." "Alright times up for you two my turn," Ryu crawled out of the tent and saw Cruchy with his arms and wings around Blue, "you can stay out here if you want though." Cruchy waved Ryu back into the tent then made a makeshift shelter with his wings over Blue and him as they fell asleep.

Chapter 14: Unlikely allies Ryu felt the inside of his vest rubbing the six small pokeballs, "It's been so easy since we left our first town," Ryu smelled the air and smiled, "it's so peaceful out here." "Yea except for the fact that we basically caught every pokemon we came across out here," Cruchy pulled out his six pokeballs and gazed at their red and white surface. Suddenly a man ran past Ryu with a box in his hand. "Stop him!" the team heard three men and one woman shout Cruchy stuck out his arm and knocked the wind out of the man causing him to grab his neck in pain. "Thank you," one of the three men picked up the box, "we would've been devistated if we lost this egg but sadly the rest of our village is in tyranny from Team Rocket." "Team who?" Cruchy raised an eyebrow "Oh you must be new around this world," the woman bowed, "my apologies, Team Rocket is a group of bandits that is completely ruthless when it comes to stealing and this band has kidnapped the children and are forcing them to catch pokemon and raise eggs." Polter looked at Ryu then nodded, "We'll get rid of them," Polter spoke up. "Are you kidding me?" a slightly larger man in the group laughed, "The six of you, no older than 14 or 15 against 150 team rocket members!" "Seems like good odds to me," Ryu shrugged, "trust me we'll do it we're what you would call different." "How are you different you seem pretty normal?" a smaller, thinner man examined Ryu and Polter "You'll see after we're done," Ryu looked over the horizon, "lets get moving!" Once the team and four adults reached a point that overlooked the village Blue clenched her fists. "This is the village I grew up in as a kid," Blue reached for her pokeballs then felt Cruchy's hand on hers. "Not yet," Cruchy lowered Blue's hand, "we can't reveal our position yet." A gun shot cracked through the air and Ryu heard a scream pierce above the sound of pokemon moving around. "Ok now we can," Ryu charged forward and noticed two guards standing over a boy with black hair and a blue vest clutching his leg. "Can't do anything now can you?" the guard laughed as he fired another shot near the boy "No," a girl behind the guards gasped. One of the guards spun around and held his rifle to the girl's head that was filled with light brown hair. "You know you're really starting to tick me off you know," the guard scowled, "now if you don't get out of here in the next 10 seconds I'll shoot you." "How about I shoot you?" Blue pulled out a pistol from her backpack and shot the guard who was aiming at the girl in the head causing blood to splatter on the ground "Now for you," Ryu hissed then he charged the guard and punched him in the chest and was rewarded with the sound of cracking bones. "I'll heal this one," Polter knelt down next to the boy who was clutching his leg, "can you show me the wound?" "It hurts," the boy had tears rolling down the side of his face. "That's why I'm here, now move your hand or I'll move it myself," Polter's voice was firmer. The boy reluctantly removed his hand which was covered in dark crimson blood. "Is he going to be ok?" the girl asked slightly in tears "Yea this guys good at healing," Cruchy reassured the girl, "Polt do you really think we should do this?" "We have no other choice," Ryu snapped, "do it Polt!" Polter grinned then his hand began to glow white as he knitted the flesh, skin, and healed anything else that was wrong with the boy in the leg. "What in the world?" the woman stepped back, "What are you!" "We're different," Ryu shrugged, "I told you that before did you not hear me?" "Well I did it's just that I really didn't," the woman stopped, "as long as you can help us." "From here on in we will use only our pokemon unless else needed we use our guns, swords, or powers," Cruchy explained, "now can you walk kid?" The boy stood up and moved his leg a bit, "Yea why?" "Can you use pokemon?" Cruchy asked "He's Ash Ketchum (don't know how to spell ) he's the best!" the girl stamped her foot Ryu's eyes widened, "You mean you're the famous Ash?" "Yea," Ash showed Ryu the multiple badges to prove it, "are you any good with pokemon." "I can throw the ball and I can command it that's good enough," Ryu replied, "alright lets move in, Polter, you, Sarah and I take the right side while the rest of you take the left then we meet up in the middle or by a pokelab." "Got it," Blue nodded. "Wait," Ash walked up to Ryu, "I'm going with you, May you go with the others." The obvious May nodded and ran to catch up with Blue. "Thanks for that back there?" May pressed both of her index fingers together "It was nothing," Blue smiled, "what we should be worried about now is the fact is that we're going up against 150 maybe more soldiers."
