A Hunting Ranger (Pokemon Fanfiction) {Pokemon Watty 2013}

Chapter 24

Winter's P.O.V

'Falling^Like^Leaf logged off' the message on my screen said.

I forcefully closed my laptop and slammed my fist into the desk, "Get back on Autumn! Where are you? Why are you there?" I growled in my rage.

I don't care what the Ranger Association says, I'm going in to save Autumn tonight!

***

I sneak through the forest, Snowfall right behind me.

I had to rescue Autumn.

I took out my Top Ranger Stylest

and captured a few Pokemon to help me out. A Cranidose, a Zorua, a Crobat, and an Absol.

I have Zorua use it's illusions on me so that we won't be seen sneaking in...

We sneak past the guards and I have Zorua drop the illusion. I check my Stylest to see where Autumn is...

Jon's Room.

Makes scenes. Jon used to love Autumn. I wonder what got between then to the point where Autumn got captured?

We sneak down the hallway, watching out for guards...

"INTRUDER! GRAB HIM!" some one behind me yelled and I spun around to find a guard. I gotta loose him! Then I can come back for Autumn.

I ran down the hall and the alarm went off, but I kept running. I would have to somehow loose my pursuers and them somehow sneak Autumn out of the base. But that part would be hardest. I didn't exactly have an Abra to teleport out of here, Like Jon. So I would have to find a new escape route.

Then something swished past me and a Golduck appeared right in front of me, knocking me back.

Then I hear a chuckle as guards surrounded me, "Well hello Brother. Enjoy your stay here?"

"Jon!" I snarl as I whip around to face him.

Jon chuckled a bit, "What are you doing here Shunten? I thought you were a Pokemon Top Ranger. So what are you doing at our base?"

"Where's Autumn?" I growled.

Then a Fall form Sawsbuck came out of nowhere and attacked me with Razor Leaf.

"Snowfall! Powdered Snow attack!" I command to my Glacion.

She nods and unleashes the ice attack on the deep.

"Fall! Use Double Kick!" A voice behind Jon called out.

Snowfall got sent flying back, but got right back up.

But the voice came again, and I knew exactly who it was, "Now use-"

"Autumn?" I called out questioningly.

Autumn peeped out from behind Job and looked at me with apologizing eyes, "Hey Winter." She muttered in a small voice.

"If you're already out here, then let's go!" I said, desperation crawling into my voice. Please don't let it be, please don't let it be!

"I'm sorry Winter. But I can't leave. Not now." She said, looking down at the floor.

I feel guards grab me and tie my hands behind my back, "Why can't you leave Autumn? Are you still prisoner? Please! Just say that!" I can feel years threatening to rise.

Autumn looks up and shakes her head, "No. I can't. And my name's not Autumn now. It's Atua." And she stepped out from behind Jon, showing that she was wearing the International Pokemon Hunter uniform.

And then I blacked out!

***

The next thing I remember is waking up in a prison cell in chains.

I sit up and find Autumn staring at me.

"Why Autumn? Just... Why?" I ask her quietly.

"Because I'm an International Pokemon Hunter, and like you said earlier, Hunters and Rangers don't mix." She said coldly.

"But Autumn-"

"My name's Atua."

"No it's not! That's the problem! You're no Pokemon Hunter! You're a Ranger! Strong and Proud! Why would you go and join the enemy?" I was on the verge of crying.

"Because I love Jon, Shunten. You know, you could always come to us if the boss allowed. But-"

"Never!" I interrupted her, tears streaming down my cheeks now, "I would never be an International Pokemon Hunter! And my name's Winter, not Shunten! I'm a Pokemon Top Ranger, and I always will be!" I yelled.

"But you have Pokemon Hunter blood in you Shunten. You're the son of the I.P.H. Founder, Nanuke." She said.

"Shut up Autumn! I don't like to talk about that!" I was growling now.

"You will always have the Darkness of the Hunt running through your veins, Shunten. It's who you are. Now and forever." She pressed.

"I SAID SHUT UP AUTUMN!" I screamed at her. I laid back down on the ground, and everything went silent after that.

I closed my eyes and whispered, "Autumn, this isn't you. This isn't the Girl I fell in love with..."

I hear Autumn sigh softly, "Then I'm not who you think I am. This is who I am now. I'm sorry if I disappointed you..." I hear her walk away, leaving me to weep.

Why am I acting like this? I understand that I just lost someone I cared about deeply, but I've always been hard core, and have never cried.

Maybe, it's because, Autumn is the one I care about most in my life.

I feel so empty without her.

And I close my eyes, and dream that she had chosen me
