Pokemon Revival (Discontinued)

Chapter 20: Payback

(Jae POV)

-Wait! What did you say Jae?- Raiden asked.

-That smoke cloud is came from where I live! Something could have happened! I got to make sure they are okay!- I was about to take off but Raiden grabbed my arm.

-Now look here! I don't know how strong you think you are, whatever made that is way out of your league! I am coming with you!- I got shocked to hear this and so was Ray.

-But dad! What if those guys come here!?- Ray questioned.

-That is exactly why I am going, to stop them before they get here, okay son?- Ray nodded and I turned to him.

-Come on! We have to hurry!- I stated.

-Right!- With that we started running toward the house. I knew the direction and Raiden just followed. We had gotten to the edge where the forest was and I saw the scene. Barry and Martin got handcuffed. Gareth and Griffon were out and Lucario was on his knees with a man in front of him. I saw all the other Pokémon around, a Persian, Scrafty, Honchcrow and a Machamp. Oh god, that is a lot of Pokémon, but I think I can handle it. I tried to move but all of a sudden my body locked up on me. I then started shaking violently, what was wrong with me!?

-Jae what is wrong?- Raiden whispered. I was shaking, why was I this scared, I could barely move, why? Did I feel threatened by them, was I scared of them, no! I didn't feel any of that so WHY WAS I SCARED!

 Wait...Is it I am afraid? But I am not afraid of them, I remembered back to that moment with Elizabeth, I tried everything, I fought to my best ability, but was still unable to save her, I wasn't strong enough to save her, and I had to watch her die. Then I remembered the time with my mother, I stood there and let that happen, I could have done something but I didn't, I watched her die right before my eyes. I now realize what is wrong, I am afraid of losing someone again. Every time I got put in this situation I either let someone else handle it or wasn't able to save the person I cared about...

NO! I would never let that happen again! I will never let someone close to me die if I can help it! It doesn't matter if I get beaten to a pulp, it doesn't matter if I get killed, the pain of losing someone is a thousand times worse! I won't stand around and watch someone else I care about die!

I WILL NOT! All of the sudden I felt something in my body, it wasn't bad it felt good, what was it?

-Jae!...You are!- When I looked at myself I saw I was glowing a bright white. I had a feeling I knew what this was and I just let it happen.

(Lucario POV)

"So in the end about that choice you made, let me truly ask you, was it worth it?" He then swung and I accepted my fate.

*SWOO-SLASH!*

But the blow never came. I had my eyes closed but when I opened them I saw the man fall to the ground and I saw someone's legs in front of me where I crouched at. When I looked up at who had saved my life, I couldn't believe it. It was a LUCARIO! He had grabbed Martin's sword and had cut the man down in a single swing. He looked exactly like me! I don't get it, why was a Lucario here?!
