Chapter 6: The return of the Pikachu village
"Sparks, is that you?" Electra asked seeing a Pikachu getting up from the ground.
Sparks looked up at her. "Electra!?
Sparks then rushed toward Electra and hugged her tightly. "Oh thank Arceus you're ok Electra! I thought you would have been turned to stone too!! I was so afraid I would be staring up this mountain forever!!" he cried as he held Electra close to him.
"Well actually we have been turn to stone" Chase responded. "What? Then how did we revive?" Sparks asked. "It was Xerneas and Arceus, who saved us" Chase replied. "It's kind of a long story" Electra replied.
"Oh..." Sparks said sadly before returning a smile, "well at least you're both ok now!"
"Yeah" Electra replied.
"I thought you would leave me behind forever, Electra" Sparks replied. "What! We would never do that; we would never leave a Pikachu behind" she responded.
"Now come on we got to find Dusk and Lightning" Electra responded. "But where are they?" Chase asked. "I know where they are. I saw a Primape take a statue that looked like Lightning and I saw Dusk run towards the cave up the hill where they went" Sparks replied.
"Why would a Primeape take Lightning?" Chase asked. "I don't know but let's hurry and help her! She could be in danger!" Electra and Chase nod and the trio rush towards the mountain.
They saw Dusk sitting next to a statue looking at it sadly.
"Lightning" he whispered to her, tears in his eyes.
"Huh!" all three Pikachus gasped for what they saw. Lightning was still a statue.
Dusk continued staring at her frozen.
"Wait why is Lightning still stone," Sparks asked quietly.
"I don't know, but we got to carry her out of here" he replied putting her on his back.
Dusk tried to pick Lightning up and carried her out of the cave with his back, but fell to the ground in exhaustion. "She's too heavy... to carry" he spoke weakly. "Then how-" Electra was cut off by Primeape walking towards them carrying some berries to his lair. "What! Why are you here!?" he gasped dropping some berries on the ground in surprise. "No matter, I'll defeat you myself with a one on one battle" Primeape got ready to fight.
Dusk growled at Primeape "let's go...you'll pay for taking Lightning away from me. You don't deserve someone as amazing as her *Dusk said as he got into a battle stance.
Lightning stared at them both watching the battle unable to move and help him.
Dusk stared at Primeape tears still staining his face waiting for his attack.
He leaped in to use Mach punch towards Dusk.
Dusk used quick attack to dodge and flanked him with iron tail.
"Lightning is coming with us!!" Dusk said as he tripped him and used bite on his face.
"Yeah...I'm not going with you, crazy Pokémon" Lightning responded in her mind.
"Grr...we'll see about that" Primeape replied hitting Dusk square in the face with Mach punch. "ACK!" Dusk cried as he slid away from him unable to react to him pinning Dusk down. "Why don't you try this for size!" He shouted as he unleashed fury swipe on Dusk's body. He screamed in pain as he struggled to push him off of him.
"Huh! Dusk!" everyone yelled, including Lightning but in her thoughts.
Dusk continued struggling until he finally got his hind legs under him GET...OFF!!!" Dusk yelled as he kicked him off of him.
Dusk got up and glanced at Lightning.
"Dusk watch out!" Lightning tried to yell but it turned out to be in her imagination, unable to warn him that Primeape was going to attack him from the back.
Dusk slowly got back onto his feet not seeing Primeape preparing an attack.
Primeape grinned and charged at Dusk with Mach punch hitting his side. "AHHH!!!" Dusk screamed in agony as he was sent flying into the cave wall.
Dusk coughed as he tried to stand up, all air knocked out of him from the impact.
"No! Come on Dusk you can win this. You got to" Lightning begged to him in her mind.
Dusk fell back down out of breath as he tried to recollect himself. He glanced at her staring at him. "I can't quit now.... I have to persevere.... for Lightning's sake...
He continued staring at her, as it built up his motivation to ignore the pain.
Dusk took a deep breath and slowly got to his feet as he staggered a bit to hold his stance.
"I know you can do it, Dusk" Lightning thought.
Dusk took another breath as he stood confidently against Primeape. "She won't be your trophy anymore." he stated.
Primeape scoffed. "We'll see about that" he taunted.
"Come on, Dusk. You got to win this for me" Lightning thought.
"Don't worry Lightning we'll have you freed soon" Dusk says to her.
Primeape charges at Dusk with fury swipes as he dodged with quick attack.
"Go Dusk!" Lightning tried to applause, but couldn't move her paws.
Primeape went to attack with Mach punch as Dusk countered with shadow ball causing him to stagger.
"Yes!" Lightning felt like shouting for him, but she couldn't move her mouth.
Primeape then tried attacking with low kick until Dusk jumped over it smacking him in the face with iron tail making him slide and land beside Lightning.
"Yeah!" Lightning thought.
Primeape growled as he got up and then looked at her with a smirk plastered on his mouth.
He comes up with a dastardly plan to gain the upper hand as he approached her.
Dusk did not notice Primeape approaching Lightning as he charged at him with quick attack.
"Huh!" Lightning thought of gasping when he approached her.
Dusk charged an iron tail to attack him. "Hehehe" he chuckles as he picks her up, "time to even the odds again," he said as he uses her as a shield from his attack. Dusk gasped as he was about to hit her rocky body and came to a screeching halt.
"Huh!" she thought about gasping once more in horror.
Primeape grins and swings her body like a bat smacking Dusk into the wall. He couldn't get up, the whole room kept spinning from the hit to his head.
"No! I'm so sorry Dusk!" Lightning thought.
Primape chuckles as he approached him still holding on to her.
Dusk shakes his head recovering a bit from the blow and charge shadow ball at him, but stop as he sees him raise her up to shield himself with Lightning's body. "You coward!" Dusk yells out to him.
Lightning watched him try not to hit her, but he had to find a way to stop Primeape somehow.
Primeape laughed as he charged towards him faster than he could react, smacking him across his body with her hard and heavy stone form.
The second blow hurt even more than the first as he laid limp on the ground. "The pain...it's too much....and I can't hurt Lightning...I would never hurt her...." Dusk tried to get up again, but his legs refused to respond.
"Dusk, don't give up you got to keep going. He's just being a wimp" Lightning thought.
Dusk continued to lay limp on the ground struggling to stand as Primeape approached him.
The three Pikachus sit and watch in horror. "We have to help him!" Cried Chase. "But we're not as strong as Primeape! We'll get destroyed by him!" Protested Electra. "Why don't we rush him then?" Asked Sparks.
"Ok" Chase and Electra replied.
Primeape was about to crush Dusk with Lightning's body as he braced for impact. "I'm sorry Lightning...." he thought to himself.
"Hey banana brain!" Electra yelled getting Primeape's attention putting her down to look at them. "More Pikachu's?" he looked at them confusedly.
Chase charged at him with quick attack. "Take this!" He yelled as he head-butted Primeape right in the chest at blinding speed.
"Leave our friends alone!!" Electra shouted as she used thunder shock on Primeape.
"Huh! Electra, Chasel! Beat the bananas out of him" Lightning responded in her thoughts.
Sparks rushed up to Primeape. "Try this on for size!" He yelled as he used nuzzle on him.
Dusk watched as she was set down beside him. He used what was left of his strength to turn her slightly so they meet eye to eye. "Are you ok Lightning...?" He asked her as he inspected her body for any cracks or damage.
"Yes I'm fine, Dusk; don't worry. Just keep battling, for me" she thought starring in his brown eyes.
Dusk stared back at her dull grey eyes yearning to see her sparkling amber eyes once more. "I can't get up Lightning....I'm too weak.... what if we lose to Primeape....what if I lose you again...." he whispered to her, worried and hugging her cold stone body.
"Don't worry Dusk you won't lose me again. I won't let you lose me again. Now keep fighting him, for me" Lightning thought to him encouragingly.
Dusk looked into her eyes. "I wish I could hear your voice again...you're probably trying to give me words of encouragement".
"Yeah, lucky guess" she thought.
He drew a smile. "You're right...I shouldn't worry. We've gotten this far and we can continue on. I'll continue to fight for you Lightning and I always will" he says as he places a kiss on her petrified nose.
As for Electra, Chase and Sparks they continued to fight Primeape. Electra used thunderbolt while Chase used quick attack and Sparks used thunder shock.
Primeape cried in pain at the barrage of attacks and began to use rage.
"Thank you, Dusk" Lightning thought.
Dusk rests his forehead against her cold rocky one as he regained his strength.
Primape managed to deal damage on the Pikachus. All of them fell to the ground injured.
"Ow...." Electra groaned. Chase was coughing as the wind was knocked out of him.
"Uhhhh..." Sparks groaned trying to get up and run towards Electra but could not.
Dusk spotted them on the ground hurt and rushed in to battle Primeape once more.
"Leave them alone!!" He said as he tackled Primeape with quick attack.
He begins to bite his face continuously.
"Yeah" Lightning cheered to him in her thoughts.
Dusk then smacked him down with a barrage of iron tails.
"Yes, good luck defeating him now, Primeape!" Lightning yelled in her thoughts once more.
Dusk continued barraging him with attacks in a fit of rage "This is for trying to destroy this forest! This is for hurting my friends!! This is for trying to take Lightning from me!!! AND THIS IS FOR MY BEST FRIEND SPIKE!!!!"
Primeape fell to the ground and tried to get back up, but fell again. Dusk smacked him with another iron tail and he fell to the ground defeated.
Dusk watched him fall in defeat panting in exhaustion his iron tail turning back to normal. He was done for.
"*pant*......*pant*......we.... did it...." He let out as he fell flat on the ground.
"Dusk!" Chase, Electra and Sparks ran towards him worried. Lightning looked at him worriedly stuck in the place she was left at still a frozen statue.
Dusk turned his gaze back to Lightning and give her a faint smile before his eyes close.
Dusk opened his eyes after he passed out from the battle. "Where am I...." He asked.
"You're in the Pikachu village" Electra replied.
He looked around the village to see that everything and everyone has been restored...everyone except...."w-where's Lightning...?" he asked worriedly.
"Over there" Chase pointed to a statue under a tree where a Pichu stood tears in its eyes. "Pee-Choo-Pee-Choo" she spoke sadly hugging Lightning, tightly. "Sparkle, don't cry" she thought looking at the crying Pichu in front of her.
"Lightning!" Dusk stood up only to be met with a shock of pain coursing through his body and fell back down.
"How is she still stone..." he thought.
"Dusk! Your still too weak to stand" Electra responded to him.
Suddenly, Xerneas and Arceus approached them. "Xerneas! Arceus!" Chase, Electra, Sparks, the other Pikachu's, Thunder, and Dusk responded in shock. "Arceus! Xerneas!" Lightning thought.
Dusk looked up to Xerneas and Arceus and then glance at Lightning still petrified.
"Xerneas...." He said to her. "Thank you for saving this forest..."
"Your welcome" she replied. "I had enough power to revive the rest of the forest, but still not enough to revive Lightning. I apologize" she spoke sounding upset. "I will not be able to revive her until I fully gain my energy back, which usually takes a couple weeks or even a month to process".
Dusk's heart sank. "No..." He looked at her. "You mean she will be stuck as a statue for several weeks?"
"Yes" Xerneas replied sadly.
"No....no...." His voice quivered and tears formed in his eyes. He struggled to try to get up and make his way to her but to no avail. " I want to be with her again...."
"Isn't there another way to save her...?" he cried.
"I don't know if there is another way" Xerneas spoke worriedly.
Dusk cried...they were together yet separated at once. Unable to hear her angelic voice...see her angelic face...see her angelic amber eyes.
"No... I don't want to be a statue anymore" she begged feeling like crying.
A crazy idea came to Dusk's mind... "If that's the case.... then I want to be turned to stone with her! She doesn't deserve to be a statue...and she definitely doesn't deserve to suffer through this alone!!"
"W-What...What do you think you are trying to say, Dusk? You r-really want to turn back into a statue for me?" Lightning felt like crying even more.
"Wait" Arceus stepped in walking towards Dusk. "I know you feel miserable without her, and since you and your friends tried to save the world, I will let Xerneas borrow the jewel of life and gain her power back to return her to her normal state" he replied giving the jewel of life back to Xerneas.
"Y-you would really do that for me Arceus...?" Dusk asked still quivering...
"Of course... I know how it feels to lose something important to you" Arceus replied.
Dusk's tears flowed freely down his face "I....I don't know what to say....t-thank you so much Arceus..."
Xerneas held the jewel of life in her possession and became powerful once again. "Are you ready?" she asked.
Dusk nodded to Xerneas as he stared at Lightning's petrified body.
"Ok" she smiled using geomancy and pointed to Lightning. The bright light hit her turning her petrified form back to her normal form. She fell to the ground and tried to get back up and stretched her paws, back and neck. "Ow...Huh! I'm finally back!" She yelled surprised running towards Xerneas. "Thank you Xerneas" she responded to her, hugging her.
"Your welcome, Lightning" she answered and she ran towards Dusk and hugged him. "Dusk!" she yelled.
Dusk hugged Lightning as tightly as he could. "Lightning....you have no idea how long I've wanted to hear your voice again..."
"I missed you too" she replied happily.
Pee-Choo! Pee-Choo!" Sparkle replied hugging her as well. "I missed you too Sparkle" Lightning replied picking her up and hugged her tightly, then gently put her down on the ground and she ran back to her mother. Everyone cheered with joy for Lightning's return.
He looked into her warm amber eyes once more "Lightning...."
"Yes, Dusk?" Lightning asked him.
He smiled broadly. Everything was back to normal now the world saved from Yveltal's destruction and the Pikachu village restored to its normal state.
Dusk wanted to tell Lightning his feelings, but it didn't seem like the most opportune time. " I'll....I'll tell you later, let's go to the hill after this." he tells her. Dusk turned to Xerneas and Arceus. "Thank you so much Arceus..."
"You are welcome" he replied. "Now we got to go, Xerneas" he said to her and Xerneas ran into the bushes after returning Arceus the jewel of life. As for Arceus he flew into the sky returning to an alternate universe, while the Pikachu's and Dusk and Lightning waved goodbye to them.
After that they celebrated as the world and forest was saved for a while sharing food and conversations amongst each other. A few hours later Dusk and Lightning sit upon the hillside together watching the sunset. *It feels good seeing the clear sky again after that whole ordeal with Yveltal," Dusk say as he snuggled against her.
"Yeah, so what do you want to tell me, Dusk?" She asked him.
"well...we've only known each other for a few days, but I feel so close to you. You're funny, caring, and reliable. You remind me so much of Spike, Lightning, and with after Yveltal turned us to stone...and Primeape took you away...I felt a huge void in my heart...I couldn't lose you Lightning, you mean so much to me...I just...Lightning I...." Dusk couldn't say the words...they struggled to exit his mouth.
"You what?" Lightning asked him, blushing so much by his words.
"Lightning...I....I...." come on.... three simple words.... you can do this Dusk!!
Dusk took a deep breath ".......I love you Lightning..."
"You do?" Lightning asked blushing even more.
"Yes" he answered.
She began to hug him tightly.
"So do you mean mates; as in be boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked letting go of him.
Dusk nodded at her. "Of course I do Lightning. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I wasn't kidding with what I said to Xerneas. If you were still a statue, I would wish to become a statue as well so we can be together for all eternity..."
As he said this he held both of her paws in his hand and stared into her amber eyes once more, the suns dwindling rays sparkling beautifully in them.
"I thought that's what you meant Dusk" Lightning began to hug him again.
"Come on! I'll race you back to the Pikachu village, last one there is a rotten Exeggcute" Lightning responded and they ran down the hill heading back to the Pikachu village.
It feels better to be with Dusk again instead of spending eternity trapped in a statue prison with a Primeape that made her feel like she had a Pika flu.
Ha-ha you're on!" Dusk said back to her as they both ran back into the village. He felt so happy being back together with Lightning. He finally felt true happiness in his life again with her. and now they can start a new life together, as mates.
They made it to the Pikachu village. "Tie!" They yelled at the same time. She began to giggle.
It was already almost dusk by the time they got back, so she laid herself down under a tree with Dusk, rubbing her left cheek on his beige scruff on his neck and fell asleep.
He felt so happy with Lightning, but he wanted to finalize their status as mates, he looked down to her as she closed her eyes to sleep "Hey Lightning?" he called out to her.
She opened her eyes and looked up into his brown eyes. *Yes Dusk?" she asked.
Dusk simply gave her a smile until he moved in and placed his lips against hers.
She closed her eyes, it felt a lot better than Primeape's disgusting kiss.
Dusk closed his eyes as well as he kissed her gently, not wanting to enter her mouth without her permission.
That night, a shadow lurked in the darkness walking towards Lightning and Dusk. "Hehehehehe!" the shadow laughed, grabbing Lightning, when her eyes shot open. Before she could scream, the creature covered her mouth and knocked her out.
Dusk wakes up noticing Lightning was being taken away but before he could react the creature pinned him down and gave him a good blow to the head knocking him unconscious as well. The creature then turns to Lightning.
"you're now mine." the creature whispered as he took Lightning away from Dusk and restrained her with very strong vines as well as plastering her mouth shut with a sticky tree sap. "now to complete my revenge," the creature said as it took her away into the darkness.
