Pokemon Re:juvenation- Starting Afresh In Another Region

Chapter 13: Silver soul

"After fighting the final maid, Ray got access to a certain storage room in the mansion with a few useful items and a new Pokémon called Bronzor. There was also a new open room in the hall but Marinette wouldn't let Ray pass because of how cold it was.

Final trial- Front yard

The Absol statue had a faint glow coming from the words on the front of it. Ray touched it, and an underground entrance opened up.

The duo went into the statue and down a flight of stairs, they made it to a white room with several **holes** on the walls and a blue door, Marinette went through the blue door to check it out. The blue room led to a separate chamber entirely. Ray continued to examine the holes in the wall of the previous room until...

**Slam!** The blue door completely vanished, separating the two.

"Silver!"

"Marinette!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke to the two of them through hidden speakers. "Ray, can you hear me? This is Indraid Theolia. It seems you managed to reach the final trial. I wanted to make things interesting."

The holes in the wall started to spray out water.

"Shit!"

"Silver!" Marinette panicked.

"That girl will be the one to attempt this trial, if she's brave enough, that is. There's a switch on the other side of the chambers. If she can reach it before you drown, you clear the final trial. But if she can't... well... You die, hehehehe," Indraid cut the communication.

"What do I do? I can't do this alone. I'm scared!"

"Stay calm. Pip can help me stay afloat longer, but I'm going to need you to be strong."

"But Silver, I couldn't have gone this far without you. I... I"

"Marinette, you are strong and brave. Trust me, you can do this trial on your own. I believe in you."

"Silver, I'll try my best."

Marinette ran into the chamber. Ray took out Pip's Poké Ball and sent him out. The water began to rise up to his knee level. "I hope she hurries though."

The chambers had different obstacles that she had to push various statues around, hop over a pit of lava, and finally...

The girl entered the last room in the chambers with a big red button. However, it was guarded by a stone Tangrowth, a Pokémon made of numerous, well, in this case, stone vines. Despite how scary it was, Marinette managed to escape its grasp and push the final button in the nick of time.

Back in the first room, Pip was helping his trainer stay afloat by holding him while the water level reached his neck. The water then subsided, and the boy was able to breathe easy.

Marinette then ran into the now dried room and held the boy.

"Silver! I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for everything!"

"Don't worry about it. You saved me after all." Ray sent out Cinder to help dry his clothes while Marinette was still crying.

"No... Not just that, I opened the path to your world. I... I wished for someone to come here and be my friend, save me from my father. The next day you and your friends came. I didn't mean for this to happen... Please don't hate me," she continued to sob.

Ray gives her a hug and reassures her, "I could never hate you. It doesn't matter what started all of this. We're about to end it, and I couldn't have done any of this without you, so stop crying please." He gives her a big smile, and she wipes her tears, slowly calming down.
