Night and Day (N+D BK 1)

Night and Day- Nine

The black Pokemon landed outside the old base, making the earth rumble more and making Leila almost fall off his shoulder. With difficulty, she jumped down to his wing joint to his black tail, then on the ground.

Raiden looked out from a hole in the wall nearest of them, backed up and came back out a few seconds later, running toward her, but slowing down as soon as he caught sight of Zekrom. Nataie came out behind him, stopping to look at the large black dragon Pokemon. Everyone else came out then, the Team Rocket people smiling evilly, but stopped when Zekrom growled in their direction.

"Leila, meet someone while running?" Natalie asked the umbreon, but looked at Zekrom.

"If I found another legendary, do you think I did?" the shiny umbreon growled, still angry for loosing Raikou.

"I know you can understand me, Natalie. I've been watching you and Leila for quite some time now. What both of you need now, is to follow Raikou and get that egg back. You're riding on my back along with Leila. We're going to the Kanto Region where Raikou makes his home." the black Pokemon rumbled.

Natalie nodded her head and turned around, getting out her Pokemon's Poke Balls and returning them, then running up to Zekrom and jumping up onto his lowered hand. He grabbed the shiny umbreon from below his tail and put both of them on his shoulder. Leila held on and Natalie did the same.

Zekrom growled at Team Rocket and jumped into the air, flying toward the Kanto Region. Natalie moved to the back of Zekrom, Leila following her. The wind didn't affect them because Zekrom put a type of move before jumping into the air.

"Leila, I'm sorry." Nataie said, looking into the night sky.

"Why should you be?" the umbreon asked.

"I should have covered the egg. I think Raikou had been planning on taking something from you for awhile. I could tell it in the air." the trainer replied.

Leila didn't say another word, instead she walked over to the wing base of Zekrom and laid down in a sheltered place so that if her landed without warning, she would have the wing to support her.

Natalie sat down where she was, looking at the night. The wind was turning light grey when Zekrom cut through the sky. Her thoughts were of Leila's egg, Raiden, and how she saw two legendary Pokemon in a day. Then she remembered Raiden again. Well, they did forget him, but at least he's not in the control of the Team Rocket goons. He made Leila happy again. When Natalie was training Leila, she saw something missing in her, something bothering her. But it was a someone, not something. Curling up on the black Pokemon's back, she began to descend in a sleep.

*Natalie's Dream*

"Natalie! Natalie!!" she heard the voice scream and she knew it was Leila's.

Turning around and running, Natalie fell through leaves and unknown territory. The trees unusual, Pokemon calls different. The only thing Natalie knew was that her shiny umbreon was in trouble. She screamed continuously, more loudly and loudly each time. The more she screamed, the more Natalie ran.

The trainer kept running, the screaming getting nowhere. Either she was being dragged to fast, or if it was one of those dreams. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of a volcano, a Pokemon roaring up on the top followed by Leila's screaming.

"Leila!" Natalie yelled, hoping that her Pokemon would hear her.

The only sound left, was the angry Pooemn on the volcano roaring angrily.

Natalie woke up on a sleeping Zekrom in a cave somewhere. She wasn't sure where, she just knew they were in a cave because it was dark, there was no moon, and she could hear the occasional drop of water splashing down below.

Zekrom's tail was turning an electric blue for light, flickering on and off with his deep breathing. Leila was still on the wing base, sleeping still as if nothing had been said between them. She could only see the umbreon for her blue rings were slightly lit, not enough for them to blind Natalie, just enough to see her sleeping.

Getting up carefully, Natalie walked to the edge of the black dragon Pokemon and jumped down onto his arm wing the was slanted off the ground. Sliding down toward the ground, her shoes hit rock and she looked around, the blue electricity glowing more now than ever. She heard a large huff and saw Zekrom's blazing red eyes staring at her.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Had a bad dream and was wanting to go for a walk." she replied.

"Don't go far. We're only a few miles from Raikou's place. As soon as Leila wakes up, we're going."

"Ok. Thanks." Natalie said, walking out of the cave without difficulty.

Shielding her eyes against the bright light of the sun, Natalie looked around. She saw unfamiliar trees and undergrowth and she knew they were in Kanto instantly. In the background, she saw two mountains. One was a dark brown while the other had storm clouds over the top. She knew that one was Raikou's mountain.

Zekrom huffed inside the cave and she heard a small help from Leila. Walking back into the cave, she shot one more glance toward Raikou's mountain. Natalie hoped Leila would be ready to fight the legendary Pokemon because they might have to to get the egg back.

The two Pokemon were waiting paitently for the trainer and when she saw them, Zekrom lowered his hand and picked up both Natalie and Leila and put them on his shoulder. He walked out of the cave, not even bothered by the bright sun. Jumping into the air, he angled himself and flew to the thunderous mountain.

Leila growled lowly while Natalie was determined.
