This is Chapter 18, the last chapter. I can not think of anything at all for Pokémon in the actual world so this series will end. Thanks to all who read my fic. Warning: A little violent...... Disclaimer: Pokémon is not and will never be mine..........for now....MWAHAHAHA! (Just kidding, don't call the cops, Nintendo!) Chapter 18 It Ends 4 guards in Roman armor came running. They each carried very long sharp spears. They were accompanied by what I think was a high ranking Rocket member. She looked like Jessie but with blond hair and a berret. Her ourfit was entirely black except for ofcourse the blood red 'R'. She had a very dangerous whip with her. "Naughty little boy," she said and smiled evily. Her smile sent chills down my spine. "Call back your Pokémon before we make you," a Roman guard threatened. I had no choice and called them back in to their Pokéballs. Neither Pokémon dare moved in fear of me getting seriously hurt. The Roman guards then proceeded to hold me down. I struggled but it was useless. There was 4 of them and they were fully grown head to toe bulging with muscles. I was just the regular out of shape teenager. The girl Rocket went forward and whipped me on the back with her whip. I felt a horrible grueling pain. Tears blurred my vision. I couldn't think of what to do, the pain was too great. She used the whip again. I cried out again and again as she whipped me viciously. I was hit a total of 4 times before she finially stopped. I collapsed and fell unconscious. The pain was too much. "Marril!" *Splash!* Again, I woke up sputtering and coughing. I looked around and noticed I was moved to another cage. It was the empty one to the right of my old one. There was also four cameras at the top corners of this cage too. There was the same racket of potions and the same windowless bathroom. Marril and Ivysaur came and gave me a hug. "Are you guys okay?" I asked. I checked them for any sign of injury as they shook their heads. My back still stung badly from the whipping I received. There was a bandage on my right arm for some reason that hurt a little. "Ivysaur Ivy (I'm sorry, I should have protected you," Ivysaur appologized. "It's not your fault, their was nothing you could have done," I said. It sounded corny but it made Ivysaur feel a little better. "Marril Mar (Even I can't think of a way to escape that punishment)," said Marril. The were both unhappy to see I was hurt. "I'll be okay, don't worry about me," I assured them. I layed down on the bed and offered my Pokémon to sit with me. They came obediantly. *TSEW! KA-BOOM!* A sudden hole appeared on the wall. Chunks of brick and marble flew everywhere. I notice some of them hitting the racket of potions knock it down to the floor. The bottles of healing potions shattered spilling its contents to the floor. I blocked my face with my hands from the shower of rocks. I received a few bruises after it was done. Outside of the hole stood a bruised and battered Celebi. Note: I found out that the English name to Serebei is Celebi. How do I know this? I know someone at the Pokémon League(card game) who had a gameshark with his Gold version. *BAM!* The door was immediately opened with Rockets swarming in. They were each armed with Pokémon ,spears or, whips. This was a fight a beatened up Celebi, my Pokémon, and I would not win. We had to make a run for it. I snatched up the startled Celebi and ran for it. I knew she was not used to being picked up by humans. Celebi groaned. I ran with all the energy my spent body had but the Rockets were gaining fast. They were gonna have me soon and gave me the beating of my life. The lead Rocket came at me with a spear. "YAH!" he screamed aiming his spear and lunging forward for his kill. Celebe screamed with an echoing voice. After a flash of light, I was transported to a hidden alley between two buildings. I was out of the Rocket's base for several miles probably. This looked like the downtown area. "Thanks Celebi, you rescued me," I said. Celebi smile at me taking in to the air again. Then she suddenly fell on to the ground hard. "Whoa, are you ok?" I asked worried. explained Celebi. "Ivysaur Ivy (You need to rest)," said Ivysaur. said Celebi. "Are you sure you can this in your condition?" I asked. said Celebi slowly but surely. "Then I guess we have no choice, but I want to say good bye." I said tears swelling up. said Celebi disappearing from view. I knelt down so my face were near my Pokémons'. "Listen, I want to let you guys know that I am very proud of both of you. You were, are better than any video game or card game that Nintendo could ever hope to come up with. I want all 3 of us to promise something," I whispered. "Marril (what)?" "Ivy (what)?" they both asked at the same time with worried expressions. "That we promise never to forget each other, no matter what," I said. "Marril Mar (Stop it, you're making me cry)," said Marril tears forming in his eyes. Ivysaur was already breaking down and crying full out. I hugged him and then Marril. I set them on the ground next to each other. "Be strong, we have to." I whispered. said Celebi from behind me. She closed her eye in concentration. A purple glow appear from her body. It began to slowly grow brighter and brighter. "Ivy!" "Marril!" they both yelled "bye," with tears in their eyes. said Celebi as the purple light got unbearable to look at. In a flash of light, my Pokémon with many others disappeared. I turned away and cried. The End Sorry, a sad sappy ending. I'm saying good bye to this particular series of fics too. That makes me sad. I like playing Pokémon Silver.
