OOC:
I got agreeded with =D Oh, and yes, you can call me GH, DKzM0mA. I prefer GH over all the common misspellings of my name at least. *Glares at Ejunknown*
Anyway... my post...
But, eh, first, what about those that, 'ya know, just dissappeared in the middle of things? Should you PM them and tell 'em that this is up again or something Seraphinu?
And gah, I have a problem now >_<' I don't know what to do with the Typholosion XD I thought that it would be good to keep it alive for later parts of the RP, but I'm not sure anymore *scratches head* Meh, it's fate will be clear to me. I also have to make the Aerodactyl to be get back. Uh, another problemo... Hmm, maybe I can fuse these two problems and have a solution? I wonder how'd that work out? *Gets a crystal ball from somewhere and tries to see to the future*
Another thing I'm not satisfied with is the Sign Up I made long ago... I wasn't so good at this back then... *sigh*, meh, at least I get opportunity to descripe more in this RP itself. :/
But, anyway, like always, I will start from where I left. Meh.

Ray smiled as he looked at the man, seeing that he was clearly terrified, scared for his life. And who wouldn't be if their death was inches away from them? However, it seemed that the man knew that refusing to answer would be more suspicious than talking. And so...
"Sir, your fellow admin, Jase Mackenzie sent me out here to give you this letter which contains highly classified information that he only intented for to give to you", he said quickly, apparently doing his best to prevent his voice from shaking.
However, that didn't explain to Ray why he had the box on his hand. Ray gave a swift glare to it, indicating that he wasn't satisfied with the current answer.
"My superior requested that I'd give this to you, in thoughts that you may have suffered injuries from the large fire back in Cerulean city. He was there too as well if you do not know who I am talking about", the man continued after turning around the kit, revealing the red cross painted on it.
Ray narrowed his eyes, the light from the outside of the cave making his pale face look unnaturally scary. Does this man think that I allow him to cure my wounds? That I need him, or any other to help me? Does he think... that I'm weak?! Ray's eyes blazed and he took even tighter grip of his weapon. It seemed that the man noticed him being angry, for he quickly exclaimed:
"Oh, he also said if you did not want me to tend to your injuries, if any, he said to leave the kit with you", Ray lifted his head a bit and moved his sword away. He felt no need to talk. This man was nothing, killing him would be waste of time. "Oh, and um...sir..." the man continued, pointing at the Houndoom.
Understanding what the man wished, Ray nodded to his Dark-Type, who instantly let go of the Nidorino, leaving it panting on the ground before it was recalled by the man. After that, the man ran outside, released his Fearow, hopped on its back and flew away, leaving Ray with the kit, letter and his Houndoom, Inferno.
Ray put away his sword, picked up the first aid kit and the letter, nodded to Inferno, and soon the two of them walked outside, th to the creepy twilight of the outskirts of Cerulean, the city of water, now on flames.
Ray opened the letter and read trough it with care; the information that Jase knew, and the fact that not much was told of the flute to a `mere` Admins.
"Hm, so they aren't giving information to any but Umbra himself?" Ray asked in a mocking tone from no one particular. Inferno looked up at him, his eyes getting filled with strange glow. Ray noticed it and smiled. But, of course, it being him, the smile was devious, not a smile out of joy. "No, Inferno, there is no need for us to force the scientists to talk. I already know enough..." he muttered, leaving the Houndoon dissapointed, but also a tad curious.
Ray put the letter away and kneeled next to the first aid kit. He toom a firm hold of his sleeve and pulled it back, seeing that he had various burn marks on his arm. For a while, he stared at his arm, knowing that just few centimeters from him was something to ease the pain on his arm. But he hestitated to use it. As he noticed this, he narrowed his eyes.
Wounds... why would I need them to be cured? I'm not weak.
Memories rose to his mind, memories from so long ago.
A small boy stood in front of two adults, a small Pokémon, Cyndaquil, sitting on the boy's shoulder, both of them having a sad expression.
"But please! I want to go to a journey! All the others are going too! Why can't I?" the boy asked, tears on his eyes.
The two adults looked at each other and then down at him. "You're not ready yet. In fact... I think you will never be", the woman said strickly, but after her sentence, the man turned her to face himself.
"Why won't we let him go? We can get rid of him and get a better boy", the man suggested and looked disgusted as he looked back at his son "Someone who is not as weak as him..." For a while, the woman seemed to ponder.
"That sounds good, but... if we were to let him on a journey where he dies... it would considered our fault. You don't want that, do you?" the woman asked and gave a glare to the boy standing away from them, petting his Cyndaquil as he waited for answer.
"Mh, you're right", the man said, nodding slightly. "We won't let him go then. Besides, I think I had a better idea as to how we can get rid of him..."
The woman nodded and turned away. Her voice was mockingm though she had tried to cover it with kindness. Fake kindness. "I'm sorry, honey", she said, and as she continued, the fake kindness had faded, getting replaced by sheer loathing. "You're too weak on a journey..."
The images shattered on Ray's mind as he swung his hand to hit the air, as if by doing so he would have been able to smash his fist on the heads of those two. Those two adults. Those two who we was supposed to call... parents.
Ray was boling with anger. That word... he hated it. He loathed it, and all those who related to it. He hated the weak. Hated to be considered as weak.
He stood up, the sleeve soon covering his hurting arm. He drew his sword swiftly, causing Inferno to back away a bit, knowing that if he would to stand on his trainer's way now, there was no telling that he wouldn't get hurt as well.
Ray's eyes blazed as he slashed his sword to the first aid kit. Once, twice... countless times, the various healing items flewing everywhere as the kit was thorn to shreds.
Ray stopped when there was nothing left of the kit for him to slash anymore. Now, he stood there, glaring at the remains of the kit. "I am not weak", he announced, his voice filled with anger. Inferno remained silent, for he feared that talking would lead him to trouble.
Just then, Ray heard something. A silent, peeping voice. He lifted his head, having calmed down a bit already, and searched his pockets and cape thoroughly before finally finding a small walkie-talkie-like device.
"Umbra..." he whispered silently, looking at the blinking light on the device. "I wonder... what he wants? Maybe to tell of the flute? Or maybe..." he shook his head and put away the device, and suddenly realized... SharpAce was not there. Cursing, Ray searched trough his clothing yet again, and this time, he took out another small device, resembling a remote controller. He pushed one of the five blackmcolored buttons, each resembling his Pokémon (except for Typholosion since he was not "shadow") and soon, far away in Johto, a certain flying type froze on it's tracks. (NOT literally...) It turned around and gazed back at the direction of Kanto, and then back at the direction it was heading. Panic hit him.
He had not found teh proof of the Typholosion's death yet. Was Ray growing impatient? SharpAce flew in a circle for a while, not being able to decide what it should do. However, as he heard the ringing sound deep inside his head again, he decided that it would be better for him to just return, before his trainer got even more angered.
And so, he began his way back towards his trainer, who was riding on his Houndoom, riding towards Johto.
