The morning we woke up, we heard Lapras screaming. Running over to her, I asked, “Lapras? What happened?” She was shaking. “I-It's Serene Village… something's gone wrong!” She said. “Mina was suddenly cut off while she was screaming!”
We knew what was up. “Lapras… get us to Lively Town.” SonicBlade said, deadly serious. In a hurry, she got us on the raft, and SonicBlade used Flamethrower to speed it up. Upon landing on shore, we ran for the town, but many people seemed fine, but then… a flash of darkness.
After a load of screaming, they had all disappeared. As if something had snatched them all away. I looked around, and where Pokemon once were… bloodstains took their place. And only few were left. We soon ran for the Expedition Society building, but almost everyone but Jirachi and Celebi were all gone. The two Mythical Pokemon were shaking.
“Jirachi…” I called. “What happened here?” He shook his head. “G-Go away… before they take you…” He said, shivering. “They? Who's they?” SonicBlade asked. Celebi was even worse. “T-T-They.. they call themselves the… S-Shadow Assassins… saying that they'll send all Pokemon alike to the Void…” I clenched my fist. “I won’t let that happen to anyone else… are you guys gonna help us out?” They nodded slightly, and as they did so, I hugged them both, saying, “It's gonna be ok, you guys…” over and over. “We're gonna get to the bottom of this…” SonicBlade said, clenching his fists. I nodded at him and headed for Alyssa’s research station, and nothing but her work was there, as well as a puddle of blood…
“What the fff…” I muttered to myself as I looked at the blood. I noticed a black liquid next to Alyssa’s Slow Orb. A Void Shadow? Here? No way! It was impossible!
“Jirachi… what did they look like?” I asked, curious.
“They were streaks of black… sharp, deadly streaks…” Jirachi said, slowly feeling better. He soon explained everything that he knew. How fast they went, the sharp strikes to everyone’s backs… I wanted to get them back. I decided to look into places connected to the Voidlands. Celebi said, “There’s no such place… We’d have to be attacked to be sent to the Void.” I acknowledged his words as I sighed. “Dang it… does this mean the end?” It was then that SonicBlade slapped me in the face, right when I said that. “Don’t tell me you’ve given up already!!” He said angered. “You’ve NEVER given up before, Yasha!! And you won’t start now!! Not after everything we’ve been through!! Did you give up when Dark Matter reverted us to normal forms?! NO!! You got up, with a will, and tried to fight!! This isn’t the Yasha I know! This isn’t how my boyfriend’s gonna act, either!!”

I sighed. “SonicBlade… look. We can’t get to the Voidlands. We can’t go without an attack to us. What other option do we have here?” I said, seemingly depressed. SonicBlade smirked, having an idea. “We wait for the next attack. Then, Celebi uses Flash Cannon to distract them, we defeat them, take one hostage, then force them to tell us how to get to the Voidlands.” I smirked. “Oh my Arceus, that’s very dark.” I said, smirking. Little did we know, it wasn’t gonna go according to plan.
The moment the flash of darkness happened, they didn’t come for me. It was all SonicBlade. “Yasha!!!” Was the last thing I heard before I regained sight. His blood was just there. I soon saw a Shadow Assassin leaving, and I used Agility 4 times, then gave chase. It wasn’t until I used Vacuum Wave that I had caught them. I held one down, but it disappeared, leaving SonicBlade’s body behind.
The harder I looked, the more cuts and stab wounds I saw. I knew he was close to being gone, but I couldn’t leave him behind. I found an Oran Berry in my Bag and gave it to him, hoping he was still alive. He responded to my offer by lifting his head and taking a bite, helping him restore his strength. He groaned as he sat up, and I handed him the Oran Berry, smiling. “You didn’t go into the light…” I said, smiling. He chuckled. “T-Taking the words out of my mouth, Yasha?” He asked me, slowly getting up. He soon fell, but I helped him up, carrying him back to base.
When we got back, I hugged him, my eyes watery. I thought I had lost him. And he hugged me back, sighing. I looked at him, and he was smiling at me. “Yasha… thank you.” He said. “You saved me again, babe.”
When Celebi heard him call me “babe,” he spoke up. “Wait, you two are mates? Why didn’t you tell me?” Jirachi then responded with: “You were asleep. Lazy mother-”
Celebi giggled as he said, “Look who’s talking!”
They soon laughed and began chasing each other, pretending to fight, but they soon stopped as they finished in an awkward position. Jirachi on top of Celebi. SonicBlade and I giggled as they got up, blushing.
They stayed silent as we talked. “It seems they leave a trail…” SonicBlade said, smiling. “I have an idea of how to get everyone else back, Yasha.
“Tell me.” I said.
“It’s gonna be a whole lot to take.” SonicBlade said, a serious look on his scarred face.
And I knew it would be a lot.
