"Ok, then." Jim nodded and gathered up his stuff, and made sure he had all his pokeballs on his belt. He then started to follow Ella and the rest towards the Pokemon Center in Mt. Silver.

David noticed the blood on the back of the umbreon's head and apologized to it. He then let out Charcolt and told the absols he'd probably see them later.

"I think that we should fly there. If any of you need a ride, Charcolt can carry up to three people."

Joey realized it would take about a day to climb back up, assuming that he could find a wall that he would be able to scale.

Nightmare, Gruesome, and Empty came to Joey, however, and lifted him off of his feet. The floated underneath him, and levitated upwards together, lifting Joey with them.

"Thank you...my friends..." said Joey, in a slightly happy voice. It was still only a small degree happier than his normal monotone voice.

Soon Joey saw light, and within moments he was out of the open ground. Joey carefully looked around. It seems Groudon has moved on from this area...I'm safe for the time being.

"I can fly there on Pidger!" Said Gene calling back Scythe and Larva.

Ella laughed. "Alta and Ember can carry three each." she told the group, but it looks like we can all fly."

Riki barked in appreciation for the apologize. He seemed a tad bit happier, but just looking at Raine enraged him and made him want to attack. He had forgotten that he knew no attacking moves, and was used as a Toxi-Trapper. He sighed and walked slowly around, wondering what Pokemon he should ride. Riki would never go in one of Raine's Pokeballs ever again. He had already hated her from the beginning, and now every time he even thought of her made it much worse. He looked back and Raine and snarled. But instead of pouncing, he kicked up some dirt and dust into her face.
----------
Raine coughed and wiped her eyes from the dust and dirt that Riki had kicked up. She held her fists tight and gripped her feet to the ground, but quickly released them, for she knew that was no good. She pondered, wondering about who would let her ride their Pokemon.

Ella noticed Raine standing there and laughed a bit. "I stand corrected." she said, "Would you and your... interesting pokemon like to ride with me? You can hop a ride on Alta, Raine." she looked at Riki. "Perhaps you better ride on Ember with me." she told him, "You don't seem overly happy with her trainer."

"Well, if everyone has flight arrangements, we're off. Let's go Charcolt!"

With that, Charcolt began flying towards Mt. Silver.

Jim whipped out a pokeball from his belt and brought out Wyatt."Come on buddy! Follow that Charizard!" Wyatt shouted out it's cry and flew high into the air, following Charcoalt.

Ryan, hanging on to the large fluffy dragon's wings, looked back, and saw a large flying-fire pokemon; one that he recognized as a Charizard, and a smaller Pelipper close to it. He wondered who they were, and if they knew what was going on. The earth below seemed to be shaking, probably due to an earthquake. Large boulders were sliding down from the mountains, and Ryan could see a few Aggrons and Gravelers, and many Geodudes struggling to avoid them. The Mount Silver pokemon center wasn't so far away now.

Joey looked into the sky to see the trainers flying off on their Pokemon. The way they're going...that leads to the Pokemon Center.

Joey contemplated on what to do for a moment. I think I'll pay them a visit, whether they like it or not.

He turned to his Pokemon. "We'll be heading for the Pokemon Center here on Mt. Silver." Joey explained. "Hopefully we'll meet up with the other trainers...so I can show them that I am not dead..."

The three Ghost Pokemon understood their master's orders. Joey went in the direction the trainers were going, with his Pokemon in tow.

((Sorry, gone for so long. Anyway, I think that Lugia, Ho-Oh, Rayquazza, and Kyogre should join the party too. None of the Kanto ledgendaries, they're not threatening enough, IMO.))

Ricky had been standing silent, still shocked by Garde's thoughts. It was difficult to explain to the others, so he didn't even try. While Ella had seemed to hear Garde's thoughts as well, Ricky had been experiencing them on a much different level. It was part of why he had been training alone so much, to avoid the painful thoughts that entered his head unbidden, and would not leave.
So, he had followed along, on Lance ((Dragonite)) when the rest of the group flew to Mt. Silver. Lance had seen his trainer like this before, and knew it was best to just let him keep his silence.

Ella smiled and changed her mind. "Alright, I'm taking Alta, actually. Raine, you take Ember." she climbed on, Ricky presumably behind her, and took off.
Ember waited until Raine was aboard before following.

((Lol, Riki really is interesting. He simply detests Raine...^^))
Raine walked over to Ember, and she took off. Riki was forgotton...okay not really. He hung onto Ember's 'tail' and was screaming for his life.
((XD))

((Kanto legendaries not threatening enough? How many fanfics are based off of an imbalance between the three birds?))

David motioned Charcolt closer to the trainer on the pelipper.

"I never caught your name nor what you were doing here." He said.

Ella blushed, hearing Riki scream. "Alta?" she asked. The Altaria flew over so that Riki could drop into Ella's lap, only a foot drop or so. "So... Raine? Is that right? What brings-brought you here?"
((I agree with Dave. Plus, you know, there's Mew. Sure he's cute, but I bet her could wreak some major havoc))

((Alright, what the heck. Mew, Mewtwo, the Ledgendary Birds (maybe we can witness a conflict between Ho-Oh and Moltres, that would be cool), Celebi (since Diaruga is the time pokemon), Jirachi, all 4 Deoxys, and even the Regis, the Latis, and the Dogs. All options to show up and cause destructive mischief, although none of them have to show up.))

Suddenly, a long thin shadow passed over the group from the skies above. Lance looked up, and then started gesturing frantically to Ricky to look up as well.
It took Ricky a moment to notice what Lance was indication, but when he looked up, it was almost too late. The giant Green dragon was already diving towards it's first target, the Pidegeotto carrying Gene. "Rayquazza!!!" was all Ricky had time to shout.

Pidger was struck by the Rayquazza hard and was sent hurtling to the ground. Gene was nocked unconcious and was bleeding a lot around the head.

Joey saw Rayquaza in the sky. He turned to his Ghost Pokemon. "We will not assist them...I expected no help from them when I fell into Groudon's Earthquake hole, and they should not expect help when Rayquaza attacks them."

They all agreed. In the distance, Joey saw Lucas, the trainer with Pokemon control problems he had met earlier. He saw him being lifted into the air with his Pokemon's Psychic energy.

"Could you three...levitate me again? I want to go near the trainers...not to help them, of course. I feel like watching them encounter their fates..."

Nightmare nodded, followed by a nod from Gruesome and a downward body movement from Empty. They got underneath Joey again, and lifted off with him. Suprisingly enough, they were catching up quickly with the other trainers.

Raine started to speak, but she was cut off by the sight of Rayquaza. "Whoa...-" She noticed it looked angry. "Oh crap...." She started bouncing around. Riki screeched, but he calmed down. He smirked and tried to get the dragon's attention.
Yes...this could be my chance, to destroy Raine...

"Ember, get Raine out of here!" she ordered her pokemon, flying alongside to place Riki with his owner. She bit her lip. "On second thought, Garde, teleport them to the center, then come back. I'll need all three of you for this." She took Alta down in a steep dive, landing next to Pidger and Gene. "Aw, ****. They're hurt pretty bad." she glanced once again at her pokemon's passengers. "Scratch that, Garde. Take these guys to the center, then get back here."
She took a deep breath. "I've got to hold that... thing off until the others get to safety."
Are you sure that's a good idea? Garde asked, We could all be killed trying
"Better us four than all of them." Ella replied grimly, then proceeded to call to the others. "GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL HOLD HIM OFF. I HAVE AN IDEA!"She was lying through her teeth, but she felt guilty for letting Joey go and get killed. She could have stopped him. So, she'd try to save the others.

((Aw...you demolished Riki's plan... ))
What the hell?!
Riki enraged as he got teleported to the center.
This isn't fair....
He sat down, and sneered. Raine ran into the center and asked Nurse Joy if she could book a room for a few days or so. She nodded, and guided her to an empty bedroom. Riki kept still for a while, but sighed and reluctantly followed Raine into the bedroom. He crawled under the bed.

((You posted while I was in the middle of typing it in. sorry))
Ella sighed in relief. That was two people and their pokemon that had already reached safety. "RAYQUAZA!" she yelled, "Take this up with me."
The pokemon turned a bit to look at her. He snorted and started to attack. Ella muttered a prayer and got to work, her attacks surprisingly effective thanks to Garde's insight, but still not near enough for her to win. She just kept at it, determined to give them time to escape.

((Lol, I'm just kidding.))
