To Kill a Ho-oh Disclaimer~I don't own Pokemon or much else for that matter. Big thanks to all those who voted for me in the BIC awards. It means a lot to me guys. Now, on with the fic. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Grinning, he watched the near-death pokemon stumbling along as it drug it's rainbow colored wing on the ground. The wing was broken and useless for flying. As Giovanni watched the pokemon, stumbling and falling because of blood loss next to his Persion, he heard something. He looked around, and saw no one. He shrugged it off and went back to watching the dieing Ho-oh. "Why?" Giovanni heard the voice again. Giovanni turned around and looked down the hallway. He shrugged once again as he continued watching the Ho-oh. Giovanni figured it must be his mind playing tricks on him. Persion licked it's furr covered lips with it's long pink tounge. It watched the Ho-oh with great intreast. His master had promised that he could eat the giant bird once it died completely. Persion saw the Ho-oh stumble again, this time completely falling over. The Ho-oh flapped it's good wing weakly, in attempt to get up again, but it was no use. Ho-oh looked up at the grinning human and cawed at the human in disgust. "It's a sin to kill a Ho-oh." the bird telepathically told Giovanni with the last of it's strength. "You will regret this course of action once you see what killing me has done. For I am the peace bringer between people and pokemon. With out me, the two can not get along." Ho-oh then closed it's eyes, never to open them again. "Huh, stupid pokemon, try to threaten me? Well, look where it's gotten you." Giovanni turned his back and began to walk down the hall. "Mreow?" Persion inquired as he licked his lips again. "Go ahead Persion, the body is no use to me. Now that Ho-oh has learned what happens to pokemon who disobey me." Giovanni said, then continued down the hall. Persion grinned as he leapt into the pitt where the dead Ho-oh was. "Mreow!?" Persion exclaimed. the body of Ho-oh was glowing gold. Persion leapt forward as the body completely disappeared. All that remained was a blood covered floor and a few feathers. ``````````````````````````````````````````````` Giovanni sat down in his leather office chair and leaned back, sighing. He closed his eyes against the bright light that was coming through the window of his office. He then heard his phone ring. "This had better be important, for I am very busy." Giovanni growled into the reciever. "Oh, but sir, we have just called to make a proposition, isn't that right James?" he heard Jessie's voice say over the reciever. "Not you three again, listen, I'm not in the mood for agreements right now." Giovanni yelled. "But, we think we can capture some rare Hoenn pokemon if you just lend us ten hundred dollars." James replied. Giovanni groweled as he slammed the reciever down. He sighed as Persion walked into the room. "Mreow!" Persion cried in a distressed tone. "Not now, I am very tired and have no need to hear from you now." Giovanni said as he leaned back in his desk chair and closed his eyes. Persion looked up at him and slinked out of the room. Giovanni soon nodded off to sleep and began to dream about a flying bird of fire. The bird of fire approached him and landed beside him. "Giovanni, you have comitted an unforgivable sin. To kill the one who brings peace between Pokemon and People is a terrible thing. Now the peace has been shattered and Pokemon and People shall become enemies. You shall never be forgivven for what you have done untill the flames of the underworld consumed your body and soul." The fire bird looked Giovanni straight in the eyes and soon it disappeared. However, when it disappeared, the scenery changed and became a landscape of a cave-like place with flames spouting out of everything. A cloaked figure approached Giovanni. "Ah, Mr. Giovanni I persume. We have a special place for you here. Right this way through the gate and you shall be taken to the land of eternal torture!" the figure laughed as Giovanni fell to his knees and began to scream. Giovanni awoke with a start and wiped the sweat off of his forehead with the back of his hand. "Thank goodness that was only a Dream." Giovanni said as Persion entered his office. "You again, what did you want to tell me earlier?" Giovanni asked. Persion looked up at Giovanni and licked his lips. "Mreow." Persion walked up to Giovanni and extended his claws. Persion smiled as he lunged foreward with his claws stretched foreward. Giovanni quickly got up as the place where he had been sitting was being torn to shreads by Persion. "What in blazes?" Giovanni shouted. The Persion turned around and lunged again. Giovanni began to run down the hall, when his cellphone rang. "Hello?" Giovanni called into the reciever. "Giovanni sir, somethings wrong with the pokemon. They have broken out of their cages and...th..." came the voice on the other end. "You're breaking up, what's going on?" Giovanni yelled as he ran from Persion. "Gi...th...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the other end was nothing but static. "Oh no," Giovanni breathed as he turned a cornor and found himself at a dead end. He turned around and saw Persion closing in on him. "Why are you doing this?" Giovanni yelled at Persion. Just as Persion was about to leap upon him, Persion burst into flames, the flames then took on the shape of a Moltres. "What the blazes?" Giovanni was extremally confused as he stared at the legendary bird of fire. "That is what Pokemon were before Ho-oh descended and brought peace. Blood thirsty killers." Moltres said as he stared harshly at Giovanni. "And so shall they become that way again." Giovanni stared into the harsh eyes of Moltres and understood what he had done would soon end up destroying the world and those who inhabited it. "What can I do to fix this and be forgiven?" Giovanni asked quietly. "You shall never be forgiven. You have commited an unforgivable sin. But you can right this wrong by climbing to the top of Mt. Silver. There you will find an egg that contains Ho-oh's off spring. Bring it to me and I will hatch it. Peace shall be restored between people and pokemon and you shall have righted this wrong." Moltres said simply. "But Mt. Silver has tons of powerful pokemon. If what you say is true, and Pokemon have reverted back to their animalistic states, then I will be cheating death." Giovanni said. "You should have thought about that before you killed Ho-oh. You can make it if you climb up the northern side. Otherwise you will be killed and then sent to heck, which you are condemned to anyway." Moltres said coldly. "Hurry up. I will be waiting at the base of Mt. Silver for the egg." Moltres then disappeared in a flash of flames. ``````````````````````````````````````````````` Giovanni soon arrived at the base of Mt. Silver and began his climb on the northern side. Luckily, he had yet to spot any pokemon. Giovanni continued to climb with little to no hinderances. Once he reached the peak, he spotted a nest made of brambles and branches. He approached the nest and peered inside. There he saw a small bright orange-red egg. He walked over to pick it up, and his mind was overwhelmed with emotions and images. Ho-oh flew up to him and cawed soothingly. He smiled as he felt Ho-oh's body warm him. Then, Ho-oh flew away and he was sad, uncertain of whether or not he would ever feel Ho-oh's warmth again. It had been day's since he had been warm, and his life was slipping away... Giovanni shook his head as he looked down at the egg. Had he just experianced what the soon-to-be-hatchling had been feeling. If so, then he had no time to spare. He had to hurry before the egg was devoid of life. Giovanni took the egg and wrapped it in his jacket. Then he bagan to descend back down the mountain. When he was about halfway down, he heard a growl coming from the bush by his side. "Snee." he turned his head as a black-colored pokemon came out. It had pink feathers for it's tail and one coming out of it's ear. It held out it's paws and extended it's long, sharp claws. "Oh no, that's a Sneasal. Sneasal eat the eggs of pokemon." Giovanni thought. The Sneasal rushed over to Giovanni and sliced his back. Giovanni almost dropped the egg in pain. The Sneasal turned around and was heading back, when Giovanni began to run back down the mountain. "Sneasal Snee." Sneasal foolowed Giovanni, jumping from rock to rock as it continued after him. Giovanni saw a sharp rock below him. Giovanni picked up the rock threw it as hard as he could at the Sneasal. It hit Sneasal on the head and left a bloody mark. Sneasal stopped, looked back at Giovanni with anger in it's eyes, and fell over fainted. "That was close," Giovanni remarked as he continued down the mountain. Soon Giovanni reached the bottom and sat on a rock to rest. A flash of flames appeared and Moltres appeared before him again. "The egg." Moltres said harshly. Giovanni handed over the egg to Moltres, jacket and all. Moltres looked down at it and sniffed. Moltres seemed satisfied as it and the egg disappeared in another flash of flames. ````````````````````````````````````````` Years later Giovanni was lying in a hospital bed. The docter had diagonosed him with cancer and Giovanni knew that he had not much longer to live. Giovanni stared out the window of his hospital room and sighed. He knew that he would spend eternity in heck for commiting an unforgivable sin, but still he wished for a second chance. Outside his window, two birds of fire met. "Well, Moltres, the man has done well." the new Ho-oh said as he peered into the window. "Perhaps we owe him a second chance." "Perhaps, but if he screws up this time, then there will be no hope for him." Moltres sighed. "Understood." Ho-oh looked at Giovanni through the window, who was closing his eyes for the last time in this body. ``` When he opened his eyes again, he saw the face of a woman with brown hair and brown eyes. SHe smiled down at him as she held him close. "Come here Ash Ketchum," Delia said, "Say hello to your new baby brother." ```````````````````````````````````````````````` Done, this is a one shot TR fic.
