The Sacred Forest. NOTE: Please don't go hard on me because of the mistakes you will find. English isn't my native language, and since i'm only thirteen it's very hard to make a story in correct English. What happened last time... ' James, i don't know how to say, but...'. ' WATCH OUT!!!' James pulled me down, just in time! We were under attack! I felt like someone pinched me everywhere, but then a thousand times worse. And i was positively sure everybody was feeling the pain. But not the same pain, the one of a broken heart... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* James' P.O.V. It was that monster again! He just won't give up! I used my body to cover Jessie from the attack. The monster was using a pin missle attack or something like that.' We have to run!' I heard Koru shouting.' No, we can't! We have to attack, if we run he will follow us until we're too tired to fight.' I couldn't run and i couldn't fight. I had to protect Jessie. I guess it was some sort of instinct that told me to. Finally the monster stopped attacking us, he now was charching up for some attack that would be way stronger. ' James...'Jessie whispered and I looked at her, she was hurt. I saw blood streaming down her face, normally she would freak out if someone touched her face.' Jessie, your face...' She looked at me with watery eyes, i could tell by it that she was in pain.' What's with my face?'.' Well...It's, umm, kinda bleeding. All of a sudden Jessie was standing again, she looked very angry.' That monster ruined my face! It's gonna pay for it!' That's the Jessie i used to know, touch her face and you'll die. If it weren't for the circumstances, i would have burst out in laughter. Then she would probably hit me with one of her paper-fans. But this monster was still collecting energy, so i had other things to worry about. ' Koru, what now?' Ai looked desperatly at him.' I think we have to attack it while it isn't at his full power.'Attacking him?' I'm sorry, but how are you going to beat that gigantic thing?'Ai looked up at the giant.' We'll use our inner powers to stop him! He will pay for taking the lifes of human who are in love!' In love? But then why was it after Jessie... Speaking of Jessie, she walked toward Ai. 'And how are James and i gonna help?' Ai chuckled.' Just use your inner power!'. I stood next to Jessie, and i was listening to what Ai just told Jessie.' We can't use our inner power, we don't have powers like that! At least i don't!' Jessie looked at Ai.' Yeah! How can we do that!' Ai was thinking, but Koru seemed to have the solution.' Just use your Pokémon!' Of course! That was so simple, even i could have thought of that.' Weezing, now! Victreebell, now!'.' Get it off, get it off!' After i freed myself from Victreebell's mouth, i saw Jessie also called out her Pokémon.' Go, Arbok!'(Of course, she could have called out Wobuffet, but he can't attack so what's the use.) We were ready to fight the monster that had the power to destroy us all with only one attack, so we had to stop him before he would attack us. We were using our Pokemons strongest attacks, but somehow it wasn't working.' It isn't working, now what!' I was starting to get desperate, if our Pokémon weren't able to beat that monster what was able to stop him? But Ai was still looking very hopefull. ' I was hoping that it wouldn't be necessary, but i guess then we have no other choice but to use our love power, we believe in love power!'.' Because you love power?' Jessie said joking, and we both found it very funny, but the others, well i guess they didn't really get it...' Never mind, but what's about that 'Love power' stuff? I mean, what is it?' Ai sighed and got all starry eyed.' It's the power of true love...'. ' Whatever!' I could see that it was really anoying Jessie, i guess she doesn't like all of that 'love' stuff...' Just use your power thingies and get us out of here!' I have to admit, she got a point there, how are we going to get home? ARE we going to get home at all!? Koru and Ai now stood in front of the giant and held hands. ' Ready Koru?'.'I'm ready whenever you are!' Suddenly they begun to glow, a white soft aura was surrounding them.' Wow...' That was the only thing i was capable to say at the moment. We could all clearly see that the monster was in great pain, but it was not enough. It just kept collecting sunlight, i've seen that before!' It's preparing for a Solarbeam attack!' I shouted, even though everybody was close enough to hear me when i was only whispering...' We're not deaf!' Jessie screamed at me, wich i was already used to.' What good does it do to know what he's doing, we wan't to know how we can stop him!' And again she was right. ' Koru, i'm afraid i can't hold this much longer...This monster...' Ai looked very weak, using her so called 'love powers' sure made her exhuasted. ' I know Ai, i feel it too. This monster is pure evil, it is gonna take more then this to...AI!' Ai fell on the ground, she was barely concious.' No, Ai...'.' It's allright Koru, we've did the best we can, now it's up to them...'. Us? What is she implying? We can't fight the gigantic Pokémon, i mean we just can't! Jessie was thinking exactly the same, we did that a lot. ' But how!!! HOW CAN WE HELP!!!'. ' It's up to you two to figure that out, you've got all you need...' And with that Koru and Ai dissappeared, leaving Jessie and me here with nothing then eachother.' Now what? We can't beat it, we're done for!!!' I was starting to panic, but who wouldn't. I've got an answer to that one, Jessie! She looked completly relaxed as she slowly walked toward me. 'Jessie?' I looked at her puzzled. Then she took my hands in hers and looked into my eyes. It was like she hypnotised me with her sparkling sapphire eyes, could it be? That she also...loves me? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Jessie's P.O.V. I've got the feeling it's now or never. This is gonna be the end anyways, so why not tell him my last words right away! I would tell him how much i loved him, and he would love me back even more, if that even was possible... It all seemed so easy and perfect in my mind, but reality, to be honest at the moment it just sucks! I'm stuck on an island with the one i love more then anything in the world and a huge thing that i hate more then anything in the entire world... But that all didn't matter, it was all making no sense, i just had to tell James my feelings for him. And i will, here it goes...i hope 'James...I' Man, this was way harder then i thought it would be. But there is no way back now! 'I umm... I, well...' James was looking even more puzzled then he did before, but i had the feeling that he knew what is was going to say, but that didn't make it any easier.' What's the matter Jess?'. I couldn't take it anymore, i was so full of emotions and love that i... got angry ' You know what's the matter! Everybody knows what's the matter! James why can't you just see it!'.' See what?' He wasn't really helping me with those stupid questions. And still i couldn't blame him, it was my own fault that we are here in the first place, i could feel tears in my eyes. But when i turned around to hide my tears for James, i saw the huge ray of sunlight approaching. Normally i would scream, yell or ru away, but not this time, this time i wanted to declare my love to James and i was set on it.'James...' I said as i hugged him. 'Yes Jessica?'. I could have said "i will always remember what a wonderfull dresser you were", but i used that line already in an earlier episode. So i decided to say it the old fashoined way.' I LOVE YOU!'.' I LOVE YOU TOO JESSICA!' I kissed him and held him closer and closed my eyes, expecting the ray of sunlight to hit us... It should hit us right now...Right now... Okay something was wrong here! I opened my eyes to see...nothing but a plain white ceiling? 'WHAT?!' It was all a dream? How but, how that, i... I looked at James, who was lying in the bed on the other side of the room. I stared at him and he stared back at me with his green eyes. It was a uncomfortable silence that seemed to last for houres, still it were only a few seconds... James was the first to break the silence ' Umm, goodmorning Jess.'.'Morning...'.' I just had the srangest dream, there was an island and a monster...' He too? He had the same dream?' Oh, i also had a pretty wierd dream myself...'.' About what?'.'A monster, an island and...'After another slilence, I sat on the edge of my bed, recovering from the fact the dream i just had, was the dream that we BOTH had! ' Breakfast, the?'.' Sounds great to me, James'... They both walked into the kitchen while they were thinking... 'This was more than just a dream, it was a sign...One that shows us how much we actually care for eachother, it showed us there is more than a friendship. It's love...' ... Just when Jessie and James left the bedroom, two angel like figure appeared. Ai: Are you sure that we helped them enough? Koru: Yeah, there we people just like us who tried to help us more then we did and now look at us! Ai: Hey, we might not be very alaive but we are in love aren't we? Koru: Of course we are, but dontcha think they want to stay alive? Ai: You got a point there! Koru: Dűh... Ai: Dontcha be so mean to me, why did you have to add yourself to their dream! Koru: Look who's talking! You let them dream your thoughts! Ai: Yeah, well that was just to give them an idea to what it is to lose the one you love... Koru: Whatever, i'm glad that our job is done now, the rest is up them! Ai: Right, we better leave by now! Koru: Bye bye! Ai: See you in your dreams! ~Owari... Hah! It was all just a dream, or a nightmare, whatever you like to call it! My first intention wasn't to make it a dream, but since it got a little too unrealistic... And this way it could be something that actually happened in the series! But it also learns us all an imortant lesson: Dreams have singns of truth in it, sometimes hidden and sometimes obvious. They give us hope and funny stories to tell your friends! ^_~; I hoped you enjoyed reading The Sacred Forest as much as i did when i was writing it.
