A Shadow's Light (Pokémon Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

Red's P.O.V.

I walked downstairs, still in my pajamas. Everyone is in the kitchen, including my two older brothers. Pat is the middle child of the family, and David is the oldest of all if us. Those two are very close friends as well, but I think something else ties them together. But it's not my place to ask. Any how...

My mom is washing dishes in the sink. Her black hair is slowly greying, and she has blue eyes. I'm not sure why Pat has Orange eyes, or why David had Black eyes, because nether of our parents have those colors. The same thing with Pat's red hair, and David's dark grey hair. Now I, on the other hand, have traits I actually got from my parents. I got my black hair from my mom, and my red eyes from my dad.

And as for where my dad is, I have no idea. He must be at work.

Pat and David are at the table, talking in a low whisper.

I walk over to the table, "Hey guys! What ya whispering about?" I ask.

Pat glares at me, "Why should we tell? There is a reason it was a whisper!"

Then David smacks Pat upside the head, "You were plenty curious when you were his age!" He scolds.

Now Pat's glaring at David, "He's 17 Dave! He needs to learn! Besides, he can't get mixed up in this if I can help it!"

Wow. This must be serious if Pat's arguing with David about it! I just sigh and decide to back down.

Then David speaks, "Actually, he CAN help! We need to talk to Gold about this right? Well Red can contact him and see when we can meet up!"

I just sigh, and go to get some cereal...

Gold's P.O.V.

I walk down route 12, using my Rage Element to emit light from my left palm, lighting up the night in front of me.

David had suggested that we all meet up tonight, to prevent anyone from following us. But why did it have to be so freaking cold?! I understand that it was only a week ago that the blizzard knocked down Silver's place! But sheesh! The freezing wind isn't helping any!

I just continued to walk, and I catch a whiff of smoke up my nose, and I can see the glow of a fire up ahead. I begin to run and find Pat trying to light some wet branches with his Rage Element, his being Fire. And David is sitting a bit away from him, wrapped in a blanket.

I sigh as I approach, "Are there any other reasons it had to be at night?"

Pat looked over to me, "Apparently, Dave wanted it to be this time because he's strongest when it's dark!" Then he snorted, "Well two of the three Rage Spirits here are strongest in sunlight! It makes no sense! Just because he has more experience than us doesn't mean he has to be strongest!"

I look over to David and see him roll his eyes.

Then Pat says, "Hey Gold, can you help me dry off these branches?"

It's my turn to snort, "What do you think I am? A heating lamp?" I absorb the light back into my hand.

Pat just shrugs, "Can't blame a flame for trying!"

"J-j-just keep it low Patric! I can't stand bright lights! And it's not my fault th-th-that my element is Shadows!" David shivers.

Pat just shrugs again, "Whatever, we have a prophecy to discus!"

Then David looks into the bushes, "Not yet we can't. I know your in there Red!"

Red's P.O.V.

Was my hiding place THAT obvious? Sighing, I came out of the bushes.

"Can you just stay to being champion Red?" Pat said with a slightly annoyed hiss.

I shook my head, "Not until you tell me what's going on!"

Pat glares at David, "I told you we shouldn't if asked!" He growled.

David looks at Pat, me, then back to Pat, "Perhaps he should know. He could help us find the other Rage Spirits.

I tilt my head in confusion, "Rage Spirits?" I ask.

David nods, "Yes. Sit down and I'll tell you."

"Oh no you won't!" Pat growls. Then something strange happens. Pat's eyes flash red! Not my eyes red, but his entire eyes! Even that places that are supposed to be white!

I back up, "Pat! What happened to your eyes?!" I almost squeak that, but I can't keep the panic out of my voice!

David instantly jumps up and grabs Pat's arm and pulls him back! Then Pat's hand flares with flames and David has to jump back to dodge it!

David turns to me and yells, "Red! Get behind me and Gold! And stay back!"

I nod and run behind them, both Gold and David in fighting stances! Next thing I know, both their eye flash red as well, but they seem to be in control, unlike Pat!

David runs forward and Pat throws flames out of his hands, but David counters with some kind of shadow attack!

One of the flames missed David entirely, and come hurdling towards me and Gold! But Gold buts up some sorta glowing force field that blocks the flames!

***

It's about ten minutes later 'till Pat's eyes go back to normal and he calms down. David and Gold's eyes go back to normal too, but they seemed to be able to control that.

Pat falls backwards and David has to catch him.

Pat rubs his head, "Ugg... What happened?"

"You went into your First Rage Form." David said.

Pat's eyes widened, "Oh no! I didn't hurt anyone, did I?"

"You singed my ear with your flames a bit, but nothing serious." David said.

Pat frowned, "See? This is exactly why I wanted to keep Red out if this!"

While David was trying to reassure the middle child, Gold looked over to me and said, "Red my friend, you just got a first hand experience of what a Rage Spirit is
