She always craves attention... why else > would she wear such tight clothing? ----- Erika stood next to RK's bed. Suddenly, someone walked in. "Are you the ..." "I'm not a bounty hunter, but I couldn't pass up the cash. Speaking of which..." "Still, I have to send the guild their 10% comission. Don't worry, you'll get your money in full. I'm just glad the job was done so quickly." Erika pulled out a check and handed it to Minax. The check confirmed the lady's identity. She was the gym leader. Minax took the check and handed Erika the Moon Stone. "And here's your Clefairy. I healed him on the way back." Erika took the ball and opened it. The Clefairy popped out. ----- "RK, you're my only hope. My LAST hope!" RK's mind had a breif moment of order. He was speaking to a spirit long since passed. "NO! I'm like this because of one of your children, and now you want me to protect all of them?" "You don't understand! When I was captured, I was being hunted by my own. They feared me. They feared of what my children could do. When I came upon the humans, I found escape. Or so I thought. The humans used me and made my children for me. But they are still my children!" "They're not mine! Either let me die or help me to live like I was!" "No. I don't want to force you, but I cannot let my last hope get away like this. I can't return you fully to your physical body, but I can get you to a new one." "How?" "You mentioned it yourself. 326 Alpha." "No I said 325 Alpha." "I know. I used it as a temporary psychic point to get into Erika's mind and confuse her enough to scramble the number." "No!! 326 would take my soul..." "Please, my children. You'll be given a second chance to live. I beg you. I know my kind has lied to you and betrayed you. Now, I can only beg you. I may not even know them, but they are my children. This is the only thing I can do for them." "I swear, I wish I could kill you." "Think of how you love Erika. What will happen could be only temporary. Try to find a way to cheat death. Please. I know my children could help you in some way." "..." "You deserve one last chance. Look at your life. This could be a chance to veiw things from a perspective you'll never know again." "If they can help me get back to Erika, then I'll do it." "You have no idea what this means to me." "I think I can guess, Mew." ----- Minax watched the Clafairy act like it was programmed. It jumped up on RK's body and looked like it was examining him. "Clefairy!" He opened his hand like he wanted something. Erika handed him the Moon Stone. The room started humming and glowing... ----- "CLEAR!" They hit RK's body with a third hit from the defibulator. His body arched and slumped back on the bed. The doctorstood for a couple seconds. She finally spoke up. "Note the time of death. Take him to the morgue." Erika screamed, "NOOOO!!" The Clefairy was forgotten about for the time being by Erika and Minax. He was now stirring. ----- Erika looked at the ring. RK wanted to propose to her so much but every time he worked up the nerve, there was an interruption. Now... "Will I ever love again?" The Clefairy hugged her. Erika wondered why this Clefairy... Clefairy?!? Her specialty was Grass, but even she knew Clefairies evolve when exposed to a Moon Stone. "What's going on? What did you do? Why didn't you evolve?" The CLefairy said, "I transferred my soul into this creature just as the legend... Erika? Erika!" ----- RK... no he needed a new name now. He walked away from the Celadon Gym. Erika had fainted and still not recovered. He left a message for her telling her how much he loved her and hopefully, he could regain his human form. He had a mission now. He walked off wondering where to start. Finding one of Mew's children would be tough, but he only knew of one: Mewtwo. It was bad enough with his disposition. But who were her otehr children? He knew only one place to find out, and that was Cinnabar Mansion. ----- "Rattata, Tackle it!" The trainer commanded his little pokemon to attack. The Clefairy just looked at him and scowled. "If you come anywhere near me, so help me..." The kid just ran away screaming. The Rattata just stared in curiosity. "Whoa, scary..." RK ... he needed a name for himself. He shook his head in disbeleif. It took his death and new life as a pokemon to finally understand pokemon. "Yeah, well, I don't like people attacking me. Now scram." "Hey, who are you anyway?" "My name? It's... um... White Blade. My name's White Blade." --- WG to be posted
