Silver's P.O.V.

Sakkaku started to wobble, then started to fall.

I sprung into action and caught her just as she was about to hit the ground.

Yellow just shot her a disapproving look, "She fainted. Tch, pathetic!"

I glared at Yellow, "No! She's not pathetic! She's just in shock!"

Yellow sent me a confused glance, "How would you know this?" She questioned me.

"Because I know what it's like to be a Team Heir! She told me everything. You're like a little sister to her Yellow, and you went and stabbed her in the back!" I spat.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Silver. Calm down." Blue whispered in my ear, "Blowing up on her will bring in backup, and we're in no condition to fight back, especially with Anne and that Serviper bite."

I held back a growl and looked at Sakkaku. There was a pained look on her face, and she whimpered slightly.

I then said to Blue, "Fine. But as soon as we're ready, I'm not gonna hesitate to whoop Yellow's *ss!" I took out Fertalagatr, "Use mist!" I commanded.

A fog clogged up the room, and we seized this chance to escape!

I sent out Murkrow, then searched around for the Pokémon Sakkaku uses to fly around.

"Don't bother. She doesn't have any flying Pokémon." Anne stated as she took out the Master Ball that had been transferred to her, "You two can ride with me." She sent out a Lugia! I flinched, remembering my time with my first Sensei, the Mask of Ice. This was the exact same Lugia that he had captured too!

"Well what are you waiting for?!" Anne's yell brought me back and I jumped onto the Lugia, Sakkaku still in my arms.

Once everyone was ready, Lugia went to the front of the group, and Anne yelled, "Follow Silverdive! He knows the way to safety!" Silverdive? Was that the Lugia's name? Strange...

We flew off into the sky, and I laid Sakkaku's head on my lap. She looked so terrible. I know what it feels like to have your own family as your enemy, but I could never imagine what it would be like to loose your best friend to your enemy...

***

I waited in the waiting room, the other captured Pokédex Holders had already gotten treatment and left. I had refused to get treated for my wounds until I knew Sakkaku and Anne were alright. Then, I would let them.

I looked up from the chair I was sitting in to find Nurse Joy walking up to me.

"How are they?" I asked quietly.

"Anne is on the road to recovery. She's lucky that she was attacked with that Servipors teeth instead of it's tail, or she would probably be dead by now. It's tail venom is much more lethal than it's fang venom."

"What about Sakkaku?" I asked.

"Well..." Nurse Joy gave me an uncertain look, "It's hard to tell with her. She isn't badly physically injured, but..."

"But?"

"... She's in a state of shock. We've done all we can, but she'll have to get over this one herself." She mumbled.

"Perhaps I could help." I said.

"And how would you do that?"

"Let me see Sakkaku, alone, and I can probably help her."

The Nurse thought about this for a little bit, then she sighed, "Very well. Her room is number 4."

I gave my thanks and went to find Sakkaku's room.

'Alright. So it should be around... Here!' I came to her room, and was about to knock, then I realized that wasn't the best idea. If she was in a state of shock, then me knocking could trigger something, and it wouldn't be good.

I slowly opened the door to find Sakkaku lying down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling with a blank expression.

I took a step inside, but Sakkaku heard me and jumped into some kind of Hyper Active mode, only to be held back by a large rubber band, so she ended up flopping backwards.

"Sakkaku. Calm down. It's just me." I whispered.

Sakkaku looked over to me and she seemed to calm down, "Oh. It's you. Hi Silver." She said in a dull voice.

I went over and sat in a chair next to the bed, "How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Depends. Are you talking about physically or emotionally?" She said coldly.

"Sakkaku, I know you feel betrayed by Yellow, and I don't blame you. But you gotta move on. Life goes on, and the past is just a distant memory." I said softly.

Then Sakkaku grinned, "And it's all gonna be a boomerang and bite her in the *ss!" She joked lightly.

I smiled, "Yeah. I guess so."

But the Sakkaku frowned again, "It's just that, maybe she was right. I've tried to be as anti-plasma as I can, but some how, I end up in their plans everytime..." She looked down at her lap, "I can't go on like this. I have no purpose. If I'm truly destine to be part of Team Plasma, then maybe there shouldn't be a me to be destined..."

My eyes widened, "You had better not be saying what I think you're saying! You're not gonna end yourself now. You can't. You still have a lighter destiny, you just have to find it." I got quieter near the end, "I mean, look at me. I was kidnapped at age two to do evil things. I felt like ending many times, but did I? No. I'm still here, because just like you, I have a purpose."

Sakkaku looked at me with her sparkling blue green eyes, "But what's my purpose? I have been told I was destine for evil, I ran away from my family, and no one loves me at all! What is my purpose?" She asked pleadingly. Desperation slithered in her voice, and I had to do something!

'I can't believe I'm gonna do this...' I thought to myself, before kissing Sakkaku's forehead, "You have to find that yourself. But that doesn't mean that you can't have help." I whispered afterward.

I looked at Sakkaku's face to find her blushing, to the point where she looked sunburned.

"Silver, you haven't even known me for a week, and you..." She stopped with a sigh, and I laughed nervously.

"Did you mind?" I asked.

Surprisingly, Sakkaku shook her head, "No. I don't mind." She took a hand and cupped my cheek, "Thank you Silver. That meant a lot to me..." She leaned up and kissed my lips before she sunk back down into the pillows and blankets and fell asleep.
