Pokemon-A Legendary Stone (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Fan Fiction)

Chapter 42: Primal Powers

Okay, well...I haven't spoken in a while to you guys...Um...yeah...I'm updating as frequently as possible. Uh...nothing else that's really new. Happy reading guys! ^.^

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My vision was dark and I didn't really know what had just happened. I knew that I was still alive because I just could. When you're dead you're dead and I knew that for a fact that I was still alive and I could  feel someone vigorously shaking me awake.

"Sapphire! Sapphire!"

"Oh calm down! She's alive."

I recognized the two voices which belonged to Steven and Zinnia. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that Ruby, Zinnia, and Steven all looking down at me. Before I could say anything I was greeted by Crimson with some licks on my face from her wet tongue.

"Hey! Cut it out!"

"No way! I want to make sure that you're still alive!"

"Of course I'm alive," I said as I tried to sit up,"I don't die that easily and you know it."

Steven and Ruby both started laughing before I managed to stand up without Crimson pulling me back down again. My Pokemon then all gave me back my stuff that I had given them before they started to swarm me with questions to make sure that I was okay.

"Okay, I know that you're all happy to see that she's alive but we've got business to do," Zinnia said before everyone quieted down.

She held up an Ultra Ball and sent out a Pokemon but not just any Pokemon, Rayquaza.

"Y-you caught Rayquaza?" I asked as I looked at the Dragon Pokemon that towered over us, that was once in rage, but now it looked to be very calm.

"Yeah, of course! Why? Did you doubt me? Oh, and in order for me to help it contain it's power, we're going to need a lot of Key Stones."

"But where will you get-"

She took out a pouch and poured out a lot of Key Stones, probably about twenty or so, onto the ground. We all looked at Zinnia in shock but to her it didn't seem like it wasn't that big of a deal.

"What? You're all acting as if you've never seen Key Stones before!" she exclaimed.

"How did you get all of these?" Ruby asked as she put them back in the pouch.

"I have my ways and it takes years of collecting too," she said smiling before it disappeared from her face and was replaced with a serious look,"Now let's go. The storm is starting to get worse."

"She's right. I can feel it. The storm is worse than it was earlier," Steven pointed out.

I didn't really notice it until he mentioned it but he was right. The air didn't really feel cool anymore. There was wind and rain but it didn't feel cold. The raindrops felt warm now and the wind was starting to feel hot.

"Hey! Look at the sky!" Ruby said pointing up.

The sky looked normal but I could see what he meant. It was starting to turn red. No, more like the sky was red but it wasn't. The color was clashing with the grey clouds and lightning was starting to flash in the distance.

"Come on! We have to hurry before it's too late!" Zinnia exclaimed.

I could see fear in her eyes. She almost looked as if she was crying,"I never wanted this to happen. If  my mother was still...I-I mean I never wanted to be the one to do this but I have no other choice now."
