Jinx simply smirked and snapped caught his club on return. “Even if I lose I will not stop hunting you. I cannot, for it is my oath to serve the Unseen,” Jinx spoke again in the intimidating, almost commanding voice. “And by some fluke of luck should you defeat me, you will not be so fortunate again in your life.” Jinx still noted the problem of the Cubchoo being near the recovering Lapras, but the Cubchoo seemed to accept his invisible challenge well enough.
“Assuming you won’t run like a coward,” Jinx mocked as he drew his blade, “I’m willing to fight you one on one.”
“En Guarde indeed,” Jinx said, unsheathing his sword slowly. With one hand on his sword and the other holding his cape he leaped into the air, he launched his cape to the side to distract his opponent and came down toward the Cubchoo, returning both hands to his blade he was ready to cut the small bear down the middle. Swift and mostly painless.
cub swiftly dodged. cub then fired shadow balls from his left palm at the marowak. cub then powerd up the last shadow ball to about twice the others size and threw it at the water near the marowak. cub then got into a stance “gensuga…tenshou!” cub said quickly as he fired a cresent shaped blast
Jinx’s instincts awoke quickly with the blasts moving toward him. He dodged swiftly and ended up back on the perch he had been standing on only moments before. “Really?” he laughed, “It’s been a while since I’ve had to move, but you can do better then that.” Jinx watched the Cubchoo crouch down and prepare the technique he had tried to use on Dialga.
As the crescent shaped darkness moved toward him he brought his blade in half, parting it as though it were running water parting around a rock. “I already know how to counter that,” Jinx scoffed. He began to climb the cliff behind him, memories of an old battle reawakening in him. He jammed his blade into the cliff and split the rock. He sent a blast of heat through the rock that caused the massive wall to collapse, sending a rain of stone and debris toward the Cubchoo below. Jinx dodged through the falling chunks of earth easily until he stood on a ledge overlooking the ground below, and watched in amusement as rocks tumbled toward his target.
cub used shunpo to dodge. “rocks. seriously?” cub said as he then jumped on a rock, about 20 feet from jinx. cub then formed the hollow mask around him again. “illusion!” cub yelled as he flashed blue then quickly dissapeared rushing twords jinx,invisable to the naked eye.
“Kamekaze it is,” Jinx said. Kamekaze might have been a bit of a hyperbole, after all, he wouldn’t die from the blast he was about to make, in fact he’d be rather unaffected. An Ice type however… He slammed his blade down into the rock on the ledge and he could feel the ground bulge from the sudden fire storm that was pushing it upward from below. Suddenly the world was earth and fire. Like a volcanic eruption around Jinx, fire spewed upward and outward, scorching everything in its path and carrying glowing rocks with it. Jinx felt his endurance breaking under the strain of the heat and the debris, but he held his blade down, fueling the outward blast.
When he finally let the fire drop he was smoking, and had taken a harder hit then he’d expected. He was out of shape.
what the?.. cub thought as he had almost no time to do hollow beserker. cub then got hit by the blast “AGH!!!” cub yelled as his mask broke to peices and cub fell to a rock slab,heavily burnt “ggh…” cub said as his eyes shifted to the marowak “that…was a mighty powerful attack there…i see it kind of took a tole on you as well eh?..”
Bolt and static Some how got Caught in when they teleported and ended up in the strange place they jumped on a lapras who was at the end of the herd of laprases “Follow The others” Bolt wispered
“Ok Dusknoir, I’m going to LIterally KILL YOU!” Luna Roared, a tear going down his face as he remembered Sparky’s last words “Never give up…”
Luna roared and fired Dark Pulse’s one after the other at Dusknoir. Dusknoir faded away and reappeared behind luna, using shadow punch on him.
Luna got up and Hit Dusknoir with a fury swipes (Which somehow hit Dusknoir) These fury swipes were much stronger thanks to Luna’s razor sharp claws. He kept s;ashing at Dusknoir until finally, he fainted.
“ANYONE WANT A PIECE OF ME?” Luna roared through bloodshot eyes. He noticed Zefire and Tetrip were already on Lapras, riding towards Temporal Tower. They both sneered at him. Luna hit the ground in such frustration, pain,agony and sadness, that rocks started to tumble down, blocking the exits, Luna din’t notice it until it was too late. His tears were streaming down his face as dust went in his eyes, thats when he realised he was trapped. Yes his claws were razor sharp, but there was no way they could cut through rocky boulders this big.
He sat down and licked his wounds, looking around. He knew that this would be his resting place and very soon he would join Sparky once again…
Jinx smiled grimly, amused at the fact that the Pokemon was still even able to open his eyes, nevertheless talk. Jinx slowly stood, brushing off the layer of soot that clung to him. He saw two others fleeing on Lapras, but they didn’t have the time gears with them. Jinx walked toward the wounded adversary and lifted his cloak from the ground nearby, untarnished along with the already blackened sheathe to his blade. He reunited his club’s two parts and pulled his cape back on.
He walked toward the downed cub and lifted him from the ground, “Time to get some answers, I’ve been asleep for far too long,” he muttered, dragging the Cubchoo behind him as he made his way back into the cave. He pilfered the Time Gears and set the small bear down. He scanned the field. Dusknoir was just barely standing up. “Dusknoir, go to Temporal Tower. Now.”
Dusknoir didn’t question and simply fell through the ground along with his Sableye. Jinx had yet to notice the Umbreon.
“this…isnt…over…” cub said as he slowly got up. dark energy was all around him,his fur even his eyes took a dark hue. “im not going to let you go so easy…” cub said as he smacked the time gears out of the marowaks hand “your not getting thouse…SO EASY!” cub said as he jumped back. his hollow mask returned except…it was more devious…it was like a bulls skull except with red markings on the side of the head and on the bottom of the horns.two bony wings burst out from cub’s back. cubs injurys were healed like they were nothing his blueish cloak turned a dark color. cubs small little round tail grew larger and larger as it eventualy bursed into a long bony tail. Cubs eyes were gone. cub didnt speak a word while transforming. cub then instantly dissapered,using solido,at the distance between him and the marowak it would take only about 5 milliseconds for him to get to the marowak.
Jinx was shocked. He had acted honorably, he had acted with dignity. Jinx didn’t wait he unsheathed his blade as the first hit took him off his feet and landed him on his back. He stood up slowly before taking a second hit and falling to the side. In frustration he looked up, his yellow eyes glowering. “Have it your way…” He brought his blade up before he could be slashed a third time and split one of the Time Gears in two. He didn’t have a chance to think the action through, or even to foresee what might have happened. In the end, he expected he would regret the action as the amazing energy within the small gear was released in a blast. Somewhere time was coming to a stop faster.
Jinx was thrown clear of the cave in the sudden flash of temporal energy. His blade flew past his head as he hit the water and sank. The blue glow above him was blinding, but he couldn’t close his eyes, even for the sting of the salt water. He felt something sink nearby, one of the other gears… He reached for it impossibly slow and curled his fingers around it.
It was about then that he sank into unconsciousness.
Luna was in a field of grass. There were flowers everywhere. He looked around and saw Sparky, so he knew he was dead.
Spaky saw Luna and the two embraced eachother in a hug. “I missed you so much Luna!” Sparky sobbed “So did I” Luna sniffed. “We’re togehter now, nothing will stop that” “But… to clear things up, I am dead, right?” “Yeah, sorry mate” Sparky looked down. “Hey dont cry” said Luna, “what’s done is done, you cant change the past” “Yeah, but I didn’t want you to die at such an early age” Sparky began to cry. “Its ok…” Luna smiled and rubbed his back, comforting him. “So what his this place?” Luna said rolling his eyes. “Oh this, its Nicrobat fields. We’re all departed souls gather.” Sparky smiled. “Lemme show you around”
cub’s head shifted twords the split time gear. cub then was blown back about 6 feet by the temporal energy. cub opened his mouth and sucked in all the temporal energy and carfully fixed the time gear. it wasnt as good as new but it would hold long enough for him to get to the top of temporal tower and put the time gears in. cub then grabbed the bag and flew off,in a few minutes reaching temporal tower.
Zefire and Tetrip were taking the Rainbow Stoneship up to Tempral Tower, when they saw a… FLYING CUBCHOO!!! WHAT?!
They shugged it off, as they had the time gears Luna had and some that the Cubchoo had. “Ok,” Tetrip said proudly “I can warp us up to the top of Tempral Tower.” And so he did, suddenly, Zefire and Tetrip were facing Dialga. Tetrip gulped, while Zefire pulled out Zralibur
“We have come to knock you out, and place the time gears in there rightful place!” Zefire bellowed
“We’ll do everything it takes!” Tetrip yelled
“FINE!” Dialga roared
“ITS YOUR DEATH WISH!”
cub then used solido and got up to the top of temporal tower. dialga roared as he fired a roar of time at the transformed bear. cub took the attack like it was nothing. “…”
Even before Jinx’s eyes opened his first thought was the pain. Not the sharp sting of a wound, but the aching stiffness of damaged muscle. He groaned as a wave washed over him and he spat out a mouthful of water. He had been burned, beaten, enveloped in hyper powerful energy leaking out of a super powerful artifact that he had intentionally split and drowned in one battle… The soreness was completely explicable. And he probably should have died, but he was for some reason or another alive.
It was after these thoughts moved through his head that Jinx opened his eyes. He couldn’t have been underwater for long, but it already felt like he had been out for a day and a half. Gripped firmly in his hand was a single Time Gear, the one that had fallen beside him in the water. He slipped the gear into his a small pouch hidden on his cape and stood, groaning once more. His club was stuck in the ground nearby, the other part still on his back.
He pulled the blade free of the ground and sheathed it on his back before looking out toward the ocean. Taking the Gear to Temporal Tower was asking the Cubchoo to take it back… But if he could escape with it back to the future, he would be able to keep it safe. There were ancient places that he could get to in the future and protect the gear, the problem being it would leave a bubble of frozen time until returned. Expanding or not it would cause issues, however, Jinx would return the gear when the Cubchoo was done.
Now all he needed was to find a Gate, and he could return to the future. He set out for an ancient temple, it was distant, and on the edge of the less explored territories. More importantly, it was almost completely lost to the world, and he would have no trouble disappearing through it.
In his den, Dreftus watched the Jolteon and Umbreon walk past.
His wife, Naomi, Nuzzled him as his two cubs, Kiko and Gyro, playfully nibbled his tail.
“What is it hun?” Naomi asked Dreftus. “Oh nothing” Defrtus smiled then licked his wife’s nose. “Ever since we all died, I’ve felt happier.” He told Naomi. “Its great here, I know hun, but once the temporal energy dissapears, once two brave pokemon climb temporal tower, defeat dialga and place the time gears in place, all us ‘frozen in time’ pokemon will be reborn as if nothing happened. We wont remember a thing” Naomi told him “What about that Umbreon and Jolteon?” “Who them? Sparky and Luna will remain here for ever. They both died. Unlike us, however, we were caught in time, so once time flows normally again, we will be back to our home” Naomi smiled and picked up Kiko. The 4 walked back to have some lunch.
“So how did you die?” Sparky asked Luna “Well… Long story” Luna admitted. “You see, Dusknoir… A marowak… A Cubchoo… A Quilava and Porygon… We all met up in Brine Cave. 4 of us were trying to make time flow again, while 2 of them were trying to stop it.” Luna sighed “I battled Dusknoir in vengence for you-” Aw really? You shouldnt have!" Sparky licked Luna’s nose. “Hey. DOnt interuppt!” Luna growled. “So, I knocked out Dialga, but the Porygon and Quilava took my Time gears and ran. I was so upset I kept hitting the ground, then ramming my head into a wall like a Rampardos. Eventually, The entrance and exits caved in and trapped me, as rubble hit myhead and body. Thats pretty much how I died…”
“Well you know how I died…” Sparky said… “Yeah, Dusknoir torturing you for information…” “Yeah…” “Yes… Thats where my agressiveness kicked in… since you died, I’d alays been a mean and nasty Umbreon…” he said, his Neon Blue markings glowing…
Zefire watched Dialga Use roar of time, just as the Cubchoo landed infront of him, taking the blow and doing no harm to him…
“Zralibur…” He said “We’re going Berseker mode… Kyobona hito!” He yelled, his body glowing,as if he was evolving. His navy blue fur turned a pure golden colour, while his creamy brown fur became a deep Crimson. His face was replaced with a mask like the Maoi peoples. (Native New Zealanders)
“De~yuo wa, shinka!” Tetrip said, he evolved. Once to Porygon 2, then again to Porygon-Z “Ken wa shokan!” He yelled.
A Pure Platinum sowrd appeared in Tetrips hand.
“You sure you’re ready Dialga?” Tetrip smirked.
