When There was Me and You (Sequel to A Hunting Ranger)

Chapter 3

Autumn's P.O.V.

I looked around the corner I the building, when I heard stomping. I turned around to find Jon storming out of the woods. He looked pretty angry. Wonder what happened.

Abby saw too, and we went over to meet him, "What happened in there?" Abby asked.

"Well we lost Jay thanks to Winter. You might wanna go find a first aid kit for him." He growled.

Abby's eyes widened, "Did Jay-" she started.

"No. I punched him in the nose. He broke a law on the Ranger Code. Then he..." Jon trailed off, then growled, shaking his head, and storming off again.

Abby had already bolted to find Winter, so I decided to go calm Jon down.

I found him just outside of town, sitting in a tree, squeezing the branches an leaving marks.

"Jon?" I called out.

"Go away Autumn. I need to be alone." He growled, not looking at me.

I sighed and climbed into the tree with him, "Jon. I can understand that you got upset about Winter breaking a Ranger Law, but you wouldn't punch him just or that. What else did he do. Just tell me, and I won't tell anyone. Ok?" I said in a soft voice.

Jon bit his lip before speaking, "He... He... No. I can't say." Jon looked down at the ground and sighed, looking a bit more calm now.

I hugged Jon, "Yes. You can say. It's just you and me right now Jon. You can't bottle up your memories. Just tell me. I won't tell anyone, no mater what."

Jon sighed, "Fine. I'll tell you. Winter accused me of still having my old hunting equipment, and said that I could never be a Ranger, and would always be a Pokémon Hunter, like Jay..." He put his face in his knees.

I sighed, "Jon. You are nothing like Jay. You are a great Pokémon Ranger, and you left your Hunting life behind you. You should be proud of that. So what if Winter fails to see that, that doesn't mean that what he said was true. Just believe in yourself. Besides, why would he even bring that up?"

"Because he has a Hunting Weapon himself."

"WHAT?!" I fell out of the tree, landing on my butt with a thud, "Oww..." I murmured.

"Autumn!" Jon jumped down next to me and knelt down, "Are you ok? Are you hurt? Do you need help? Do-" he threw his questions at me at a speed only Zebstrikas should achieve.

"Woah woah woah. Slow down Jon. I'll be fine. I just fell." I tried to stand up, but a sharp yet sudden pain bolted through my leg!

I fell back down and inhaled sharply, trying not to let out any noises of pain.

"Autumn!" Jon exclaimed, "What's wrong?!"

I took a shaky breath, "I-I-I think I may of broken my leg." I clutched my hurting leg and tried to ignore the pain.

I then felt arms around me and I couldn't feel the ground under me.

"It'll be ok. I'll protect you. I'll help you." The anger and hurt in Jon's eyes was replaced my worry, love, and caring.

"Thank you Jon." I whispered, falling asleep in his arms.

Jay's P.O.V.

I looked up at the stars, riding on my Shadow Dragonite.

That was far too close for my taste. If Jon had showed up any sooner, I would definitely be back in jail right now.

Hunger rumbled in me and I groaned. I hadn't eaten all week, which meant I had to find it catch some food.

I told Shadow Dragonite to land on top of Legend Mountain.

This was definitely the place.

I heard a sinister sounding chuckle, "You came. I thought you would of decided to not come."

I turned around to face the boy. He looked to be about eighteen years old. He has night black hair and copper eyes that glowed.

"You're Harreta?" I asked, "The leader of Team Outcast?"

Harreta nodded, "Yes. And you are Jay, the leader of the International Pokémon Hunters. You said you needed help reforming your organization, and I can help you with that."

"Alright. What do I need to do?"
