Disclaimer: Okay, I don't own Pokemon. Too bad, 'cause I know quite a few people who don't like May..*evil chuckle* However, I DO own Sam, Prita, Lightning's scar, the ingrave..Basically anything that doesn't make sense. 0.o

The sound of the rushing energy from the LureBall attracted all eyes, Pokemon and human alike. The large dragon-like bird was magnificant, silvery-white feathers giving off a strange glow. And yet, one could tell a sense of anger in the Legendary, for being trapped inside a PokeBall for eighteen years doesn't do the best for one's mood. Large hand-like wings were aching, longing to spread, but due to the small cave, the creatire felt a bit cramped. Still, she had enough room to move its head around, and flick her tail, both of which she didn't hesitate to do. Dark eyes scanning, the Lugia roared, her voice echoing along the cave walls.

Misty couldn't help but stare in awe at the marvelous creature she had just released, daring herself not to upset the creature further than she had done. At least, that's what it seemed like. Her gaze turning toward the dog-like creature, she was startled to see a look of relief upon her face, seemingly sighing. Sam was still quite weak, however, for her maw was wide open, panting. The bolts of lightning seemed to hault, seeing the flying creature.

'She's able to read thoughts,' Sam realized. 'Glimmer..Hear me?'

Glimmer had stopped crying out, its head whipping toward the golden creature. Cocking its head slightly, the great titan scanned the dog, its eyes finally falling upon the lightning-bolt scar upon her forearm.

/S-Sam?/ Screeching quickly, her eyes widened, trying to let the fact that her friend was beside her, when she wasn't in the form she recalled. /How'd you? When'd you?/

Relieved she had calmed down, Sam looked up her, grinning slightly. 'I'll explain later. Right now, though, think you can use Recover? Nodding her large head, she started humming. Bright white sparks danced around both of their pelts, and with this, came new strength for poor Sam. Standing up again, she approached what seemed to be an unconsious Prita. That is, until he sprang up again, grabbing at her other forepaw.

With the front side of her body diminished, she had no choice but to take to the skies. Bolts firing from her velvet cheeks, she growled in pleasure seeing the attack successful. Prita's head lifted, firing a golden beam toward the dog-like creature. Cascading down, she yelped, turning toward Glimmer.

Nodding, she spread her large wings, knocking down a few rocks, landing not too far away from the terrorized feline. A beam of icey blue charged in Glimmer's mouth, and with firing, an icey cage formed around the lavender cat, freezing it successfully.

Roaring in triumph, both creatures looked at one another, but the gaze was instantly broken by Sam, who turned to Misty, Ash and Anya, staring. Grinning, Sam flew in front of the humans, bowing her head. Slightly grimacing in pain, she ignored the fact she was growing weaker by the minute. Wings folded in, she licked the redhead's cheek, much to the pleasure of Misty. A low rumbling was heard, and as her ears pricked up, a large rock fell down along the entrance, somewhat blocking their escape route. Growling in frustration, Sam looked up at the ceiling, grinning slightly.

"Everyone, get on Glimmer." Anya and Ash scampered upon the silver creature, but Misty was determined to ride the one who had saved her life. Her maw curved in a large grin, the dog had no choice but to give into her wishes.

Latching on the creatures body, Misty took a breath, looking at her daughter, seemingly excited she was riding upon a legendary's back. All seemed to tense as Glimmer released a powerful beam, creating a large hole upon the ceiling. The falling debris didn't help much, but was dismissed at seeing the forest, smelling the fresh air. Everything was perfect. All were safe, and Sam thought herself to be reunited.

But as her strength was sapped, she started falling into the greenery. All seemed lost to the terrified woman, and a few moments before landing in the trees, she saw Glimmer flying closer, extending her tail. Grabbing on, Misty was horrified to see her rescuer collapse along the forest floor, blood covering leaves she had broken through. With careful studying, she gasped, seeing the creature limp and weak.
