Chapter One

Gary's Challenge

There's a rumor…no…a legend. A legend of a powerful trainer upon Mt. Silver. One who has stood upon the mountain for three years. Each trainer that approached him for a battle were quickly sent back down the mountain with a massive defeat for their efforts.

Each trainer that battled this Legend would tell of the tale of a grossly powerful Pokemon that took only one move to knock out their own strongest Pokemon. Each trainer explained that their Pokemon stood no chance, even with a type advantage against the one Pokemon the trainer would call out. And it was always one and the same Pokemon that he sent out to battle.

A Pikachu.

Many didn't believe the story of a Pikachu taking out fully grown and powerfully trained Pokemon, some even mega-evolved and yet still lost, but each trainer that came down from Mt. Silver swore up and down to Arceus that it was true. An Electric type rat took out their Pokemon, all six of their Pokemon, even if they were rock, ground, or grass types.

The stories spread all over the regions of the Pokemon world. Kanto, Hoenn, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos. Champions, Elite Four Members, Gym Leaders, and trainers of all kinds heard of the Legend and many ran towards Mt. Silver to challenge him. All but a dozen handful of people had yet to challenge him while others had ran to battle the Legend.

Now the Gym Leader of Viridian City had set out to battle the trainer of Legends and prove that it was only a person that could be beaten like any one else.

"Alright, Mt. Silver, I'm finally here." Gary oak said as he looked up at the Mountain, his blue sweater was warm but not overly baggy and in fact showed some of his muscles that he had built up from hiking to excavation sights. He wore special pants that were made for Trainers to withstand different types of weather but were flexible than normal pants for movement. He was ready for the blizzard that always roared at the top of Mt. Silver.

"Time to start Climbing." Gary said to himself as he hefted his backpack up further and walked into the first cave that would eventually lead him to a powerful and terrifying Trainer of Legend.

"Did you hear, Gary Oak went to Mt. Silver to challenge the Legend." An indigo haired woman said at a table with a blonde and pink haired women. "I got a call from one of my friends that live in Viridian City. When she led a few trainers to the gym there to challenge it they found out that Gary wasn't there, he'd gone to Mt. Silver." She explained as she sipped at a Mocha Latte with two shots and half and half.

"Oh Violet! That's like, not good at all! We have to like tell Misty so she can go after him!" The blonde haired one said with a large gasp. "Lily, where is Misty?" She turned to the Pink haired woman.

Lily blinked before pointing towards a door behind her. "I think she's back in the like gym." She said as she stood up with her sisters to go into the gym.

"MISTY!" The blonde haired woman, Daisy, yelled as she led her other two sisters to where an orange haired girl was leant over a large pool that was filled with nothing but water type Pokemon. "You have to stop him! Like, Gary is going to get himself and his Pokemon hurt!" Daisy exclaimed as she came to stand next to Misty while Violet was behind and Lily was on her other side.

Misty blinked as she looked up at her siblings, her long orange hair trailing over one shoulder from her low side ponytail while her yellow long sleeve shirt went well with her white short shorts. "What are you talking about now Daisy, Violet, and Lily? You haven't broken another nail have you?" Misty drawled as she stood up from where a little yellow duck floated in its inner tube happily.
Lily flailed her arms as she spoke. "Like Gary Oak has totally gone to Mt. Silver!" She exclaimed urgently.

"Yeah, he has totally gone to like challenge the Legendary Trainer!" Violet added in as she held her fisted hands up towards her face, hiding the bottom half of her face. "He's going to totally get slaughtered like when Psyduck tries to swim!"

Misty scowled at the shot to her Psyduck before the information sunk into her mind and she was running towards her room at high speed. "Daisy! Call Tracey and Professor Oak, tell them what Gary's doing! I'm going to head to Mt. Silver and try and catch up to Gary and stop him!" Misty shouted as she grabbed her emergency pack that had all of the items she needed for a rough trip, but also stopped long enough to grab her bright yellow snow jacket and a pair of specialized trainer snow pants that were blue. Then a pit stop to choose which Pokemon she was taking. "Close the gym until I get back."

With that Misty Waterflower disappeared through the doors of the Cerulean Gym.

Gary panted as he passed by yet another wild Pokemon but smiled as he came to the exit of the cave, knowing that he had finally reached his destination. "Alright, now all I have to do is find this guy and battle, defeat him, and prove that he's just a normal person that can be taken down." Gary said to himself as he exited the cave and out into a blizzard.

Gary quickly shielded his head face and pulled up the collar of his jacket to cover his chin from the biting cold while he looked around. "What a time for a blizzard to hit." The researcher muttered as he moved through the snow, looking for anything to tell him that his target was there somewhere.

The blizzard stopped and Gary blinked as he took in the fact that snow was no longer pounding against his body and hindering his progress. The brunette quickly looked around to see what had caused the sudden stop and found his answer standing next to his target.

Gary smirked as he came to stand about twenty feet from the other teenager. "So you're the so called 'Legendary' Trainer of Mt. Silver?" Gary's eyes racked over the other male's figure. "Don't seem like a Legend if you ask me."

And in some other people's view, they would agree with Gary. The male wore nothing but a red over shirt with white sleeves, a black shirt underneath that, blue jeans with black running shoes, black fingerless gloves, and a red baseball cap with a white bill that covered raven hair. Cold eyes that resembled dried blood was the only thing that Gary found unsettling about this trainer.

Gary reached down to his Pokeball belt and pulled off a Pokeball and enlarged it. "I came to battle you as the Gym leader of Viridian City, Gary Oak." Gary stated as he glanced at the little Pokemon by the other's side that seemed unaffected from stopping the earlier blizzard. "That is if you're not afraid."

In reply the other boy did nothing and instead the little purple Pokemon jumped out between the two, its split tail waving in the air in anticipation. Gary frowned at the response before smirking again and releasing the Pokemon that would be more than a match for the Espeon.

"Um! Umbre! Bre Umbreon!" The Moonlight Pokemon exclaimed as it appeared, instantly switching into battle mode when it saw the Espeon across from it.

"That's right Umbreon, its battle time. Let's start this off with Feint Attack." Gary yelled and the Umbreon quickly disappeared in a flash of black. Gary confidently watched as his Umbreon appeared above the Sun Pokemon but then gasped when Umbreon went through the Espeon and into the snow. "What just happened?" Gary exclaimed as he watched as multiple Espeons appeared around Umbreon, surrounding the Moonlight Pokemon. "Double Team!"

Gary watched as all of the Espeons sprouted out hearts and acted like a cute little Pokemon, the hearts quickly surrounding his dark type and Gary gasped as his Umbreon fell to the Attract. "No way, that Espeon is a female!" Gary gasped before shaking his head. "Umbreon, I know you're attracted to that Espeon but you have to use Shadow Ball!" Gary commanded, hoping that the love for his trainer would override the attraction to the Psychic type.

Umbreon though was too busy staring lovingly at the Espeon and didn't realize that a bright flash of light was emitted from it and struck the Dark type hard, instantly knocking out the in love Pokemon. "That was Dazzling Gleam." Gary muttered dumbstruck as he recalled his Pokemon and looked at the trainer in front of him. "You didn't even say a word and yet your Pokemon was able to battle and win."

The trainer didn't say anything and instead recalled the Espeon and pulled out another Pokeball, releasing a small Seed Pokemon with the familiar green bulb on its back that was slightly darker in color than normal due to the lack of light and cold weather. The Bulbasaur yawned and shook its head as it looked around to see what was happening.

Gary blinked in surprise at the grass type before choosing his next Pokemon, already knowing that even though the Bulbasaur wasn't evolved didn't mean that it was weak. The researcher had learned that lesson more than once before, especially against his long ago rival.

In retaliation to the grass type, Gary released his fire type, Arcanine. Bulbasaur blinked in surprise at the much bigger Pokemon but quickly began to ignore it, as if the huge fire type was of no concern to the Seed Pokemon. Arcanine snarled at the lack of fear in its much smaller opponent but didn't move to attack, instead waiting to see what his trainer wanted him to do. "Arcanine, use Sunny Day." Gary decided and watched as the clouds that had been blocking the sky dispersed and bright warm sunshine shone down on the battlefield. "Even though this could work in his favor I should be able to hit that Bulbasaur hard with a powerful fire attack." Gary thought aloud.

The Bulbasaur meanwhile was smiling as it absorbed the long missed sunshine, the bulb on its back lightening in color as the sun fed it. Gary knew that it would be now or never if he wanted to take that grass type out with one hit. "Arcanine, use Fire Blast!" Gary shouted, praying that all the training that they had done with that move would help the Fire Type land the hit.

Arcanine growled as it gathered power and then opened up its mouth to spew out the most powerful fire attack that headed straight for the little Seed Pokemon. Gary smirked as he saw the attack would hit head on. "Yes, good job Arcanine!"

The Bulbasaur looked up at the attack before glowing lightly and then a torrent of water emitted from in front of it, slamming into the Fire Blast and pushing it back with ease. Arcanine and Gary both watched in astonishment as the Hydro Pump extinguished the fire type attack and then slammed into the Legendary with such force that it was sent flying backwards and slammed into the mountain behind Gary.

The gym leader gulped and looked back towards the cave entrance where Arcanine lay knocked out and unable to continue battling. "Arcanine." Gary whispered as he recalled his Pokemon and looked back at the still sunbathing Bulbasaur. "But how? How did Bulbasaur use Hydro Pump when it's a grass type?" Gary asked as he looked down at his feet, frowning when he saw the water he stood in, made when Sunny Day was put into effect and when Fire Blast was used, causing all of the snow around the battling duo to melt.

Gary's eyes widened when he remembered a single move that the grass type could learn to use the water type move without difficulty. "Nature Power." Gary said as he looked at the red clothed Trainer. "The Bulbasaur used Nature Power and because of all the water surrounding us from the melted snow, it was able to use Hydro Pump." Gary said with disbelief at having forgotten about the normal type move.

The trainer didn't react and instead recalled his Bulbasaur and pulled out another Pokeball. Gary frowned as he realized that the trainer hadn't called the fable Pikachu that every other trainer had faced but had instead faced two different Pokemon that had never been mentioned before. "Why aren't you using the Pikachu?" Gary asked but realized soon that he wasn't going to get an answer. "Whatever." Gary said just as the red trainer released his third Pokemon.

Gary blinked at yet another familiar Pokemon and smiled in nostalgia as he fingered one of his most used Pokeballs and decided that this would be a worthwhile battle. "Alright then old friend, let's show this little guy how a real water type battles!" Gary yelled with a smile as he released his oldest Pokemon, his shellfish Pokemon. "Blastoise!"

"Blas!" the armored turtle yelled as the Tiny Turtle just stared at it with smirk on its face. Blastoise quickly became agitated by that smile and roared at the Squirtle. "Blastoise! Blas blas Toise toise Blastoise!" it raged as it began to stomp its feet in anger.

"Squirt Squirtle, tle Squirtle!" The Pre-evolution stated while putting one clawed paw onto its hip and waving at the much larger Pokemon, as if the Shellfish didn't matter.

"Blastoise!" Blastoise roared in anger and quickly disappeared into its shell and went into a rapid spin that flew straight at the Squirtle with fury.

Gary yelled out in horror as the Rapid spin spun off course and instead slammed into the ground where Blastoise reappeared, obviously very confused with the way it was staggering around. "Swagger, Blastoise is confused!" Gary exclaimed as it turned to the smirking Squirtle. "Darn it! Blastoise! Snap out of it! Listen to my voice and snap out of the confusion! I know you can!" Gary yelled as he talked to his Blastoise, who did listen to his friend and trainer, quickly snapping out of its confusion with a roar. "Alright! Now Power-Up Punch!"

Blastoise did as told with a roar with one clawed fist glowing with energy as it sent it flying at Squirtle's face, only to slam into a shell. "Withdraw! That won't save you! Send it flying Blastoise!" Gary yelled as he threw a fist into the air.

Blastoise roared as it pushed its clawed fist further and sent the Tiny Turtle flying into the air. "That had to have knocked it out!" Gary exclaimed but shouted in surprise as the small shell began to spin. "Rapid Spin, Dodge it Blastoise!" Gary shouted but it was too late as the little shell flew nimbly through the air and straight up into Blastoise's chin, knocking the Shellfish backwards.

"Blastoise?" Gary asked as he walked over to check on his Pokemon, only to find the water type knocked out. Gary sighed as he recalled the Pokemon. "Thanks for the hard work, take a break now." Gary turned towards the trainer again, still unsure of why he wouldn't talk and why He was obviously going out of his norm by battling Gary with all of his Pokemon instead of the one that was always talked about. "Why are you battling me differently than the others?" Gary asked as he watched the other male recalled the Squirtle and pulled out his fourth Pokeball and released it onto the battlefield.

Gary blinked at the rather large bluish black Pokemon that roared as it appeared. "Oh boy." Gary said as he stared up at the Mach Pokemon. "I was not expecting that." Gary stated as he put Blastoise's Pokeball back onto his belt and pulled out another one. "Guess I'll use you now Alakazam!" The Psi Pokemon crossed its spoons and glared at its opponent. "Use Future Sight!"

Alakazam sent the burst of power into the sky where the attack would hit within a set amount of time before looking back at its opponent with a glare. "Now use Light Screen." The flash of a screen came and then disappeared. Gary looked at his fellow trainer but frowned when he saw no change from when Gary had first arrived. "Now Alakazam use Return!"

Alakazam glowed with energy and then flew at the Garchomp, which didn't look phased at the Psi Pokemon coming at it full tilt. "Alakazam and I are exceedingly close, so this attack should be critical if it lands." Gary stated as calmly as he possibly could under the circumstances.

The Garchomp yawned as Alakazam got ever closer but then suddenly it lashed out just as the psychic type got within range. "What just happened?" Gary wondered as his Alakazam flew back at him, almost hitting Gary if the researcher hadn't of reached out and caught the knocked out Pokemon instead. Gary looked up to see a long purple extension of the Dragon types claws. "Shadow Claw, no wonder Alakazam got knocked out so fast, he's weak against ghost types." Gary said as he recalled his Pokemon and waited.

As Gary knew the trainer in red quickly recalled the almost asleep on its feet Garchomp and called out his next Pokemon. Gary gulped as the Flame Pokemon roared as it slammed onto the ground, shaking what seemed like the entire mountain. Not once in all of his life had Gary ever seen a Charizard that was that tall and muscular looking, he had been to Charicific Valley too!

The Charizard spat out a quick torrent of Flame before turning back towards the researcher and glared at him. Gary gulped before pulling out his next Pokemon.

The Drill Pokemon roared as it came out and then glared at the fire type with vicious intense heat. Gary felt sweat fall down the side of his head before looking at the red trainer, the other not even looking like he had broken a sweat and Gary could feel that all of the trainer's Pokemon were the same. Gary gulped again before looking at his growling Nidoking. "Alright Bud, use Ice Beam."

The ground type turned to him in confusion, already knowing that this attack wouldn't do anything to the fire type. "I know but I need you to trust me, just keep it going for as long as you can." Gary said as he pointed at the Charizard. "Use Ice Beam."

Nidoking nodded its head and fired the beam from its mouth. Gary watched as the beam hit and watched in confusion as Charizard allowed the move to slowly consume it fully. "Why didn't it dodge?" Gary questioned before shaking his head and deciding that he wouldn't take a gift ungratefully. "Alright, now use Earth Power at full power."

The Drill Pokemon glowed with a green power as rocks raised into the air and then blasted at the frozen Charizard with rapid speed. The attack connected and soon the Charizard was also incased in a pile of rocks. "Okay, now to make sure it's done for. Earthquake."

The ground shook violently as Nidoking stomp furiously, shaking the ground and damaging any Pokemon that were in the vicinity but also hopefully the buried Fire Type.

Then without preamble a beam of light shot from the sky and slammed into the pile of rocks viciously, causing several of the rocks to tumble to the ground, but still left Charizard buried underneath. "Ha! Future sight from my Alakazam came into play finally." Gary exclaimed happily.

Both the researcher and Ground type waited in hopeful expectation but that soon changed when the temperature seemed to rise. "There's no way that Charizard is still able to battle after all of that!" Gary shouted just as said Charizard exploded from the pile, straight up into the air before diving back at Nidoking covered in blue flames. "Dodge it Nidoking! Don't let Flare Blitz hit you!" Gary shouted but was too late as the Charizard slammed into the purple Pokemon and send it flying.

Nidoking slid pass Gary and the brunette could only watch as Charizard shrugged off the recoil from Flare Blitz. "How can one trainer's Pokemon be so powerful?" Gary said as he turned to look at his knocked out Drill Pokemon. "Get some rest Nidoking." Gary said as he recalled his Pokemon and turned back with his final Pokemon in his hands. "Alright, it all comes down to you Electivire!" The Thunderbolt Pokemon glared at the Charizard before the red trainer recalled it. "Am I finally going to face that Legendary Pikachu then?" Gary asked and waited for a Pokeball to be pulled out…only one wasn't.

Misty sped down the road in her car, knowing that time was of the essence at the moment. "I can't believe that you would go on your own you damned jerk!" Misty cursed as she swerved around a pickup full of Pidgeys before having to avoid another car with a kid in it. "I told you that I would go as soon as I got a substitute to watch the gym! You bastard I'm going to murder you when I get a hold of you!" Misty growled just as her phone began to ring. "WHAT!"

"Whoa, what's got you so mad this time Misty?" The voice was familiar and Misty knew in an instant who it was.

"Now is not a good time Brock, Gary has gone and done a stupid like Ash would." Misty spat as she increased her speed even more. "He's gone to Mt. Silver to Challenge the Legend."

The line was silent for a moment before Brock spoke up again. "How fast exactly are you going right now?"

The water trainer glanced at the speedometer before replying. "A hundred and fifty."

"Don't get caught by the police and don't get yourself killed. When you catch up to Gary give him a smack for me. Call me when you get to Mt. Silver." Brock said and was about to hang up when Misty's vicious smirk floated over the line.

"No need, I'm already there. I'll call you when I have Gary underneath my feet." With that she hung up and came to a screeching halt just beneath Mt. Silver. The red head quickly jumped out of her car and took off running towards the cave entrance. "I'm coming for you Gary Oak and when I get you, you are so dead!"

Misty Waterflower quickly disappeared into the first cave of Mt. Silver.

TMS

"Aren't you going to call your Pikachu out?" Gary asked. The red trainer didn't answer as Gary knew but the researcher was surprised when a small smirk appeared on the other's face and he raised one hand into the air and gave a single snap. Gary stood stunned at the first movement he had seen from the other trainer and because of this he wasn't prepared for the thunderbolt that hit the middle of the field with a flash of light, blinding Gary and Electivire for a moment.

Before Gary could get his sight back though a loud thump came from in front of him. "Electivire! Are you okay?" Gary asked but when a reply didn't come the Gym Leader began to fear for his Pokemon. Several moments passed before Gary finally had his sight returned to him and what he saw awed and terrified him greatly.

The Legendary Pikachu sat atop Electivire, smiling as if it belonged there and nothing was wrong with the world at all. Electivire meanwhile was out cold and Gary wasn't even sure what had happened or even how his Pokemon had been taken out in such little time that the flash had blinded him. "Elective, return." Gary said as he recalled his Pokemon, watching as the Pikachu ran back towards the trainer in red and jumped up onto his shoulder, rubbing its cheek against its trainer's happily, getting a small smile from the raven haired male.

Gary smiled at the sight as he walked towards the other and held out his hand. "That was a good battle, even if I hardly got to fight back." Gary said and waited to see if the other would shake his hand or not.

The red trainer looked at the hand for a long time before taking it and shaking it firmly. Gary smiled at this as he shook back. "I'm glad I met you, I've learned a lot about not underestimating others, something I must've forgotten." Gary admitted as his hand was released and he rubbed his neck sheepishly. "The rumors of you being powerful definitely weren't lies either."

The trainer just stared at him while the Pikachu chirped at him happily. Gary smiled and reached out, scratching the Pikachu behind its ears. "A powerful Pokemon for a powerful trainer." Gary replied as he retracted his hand and turned away, beginning to walk away. "I'll be back for a rematch one day!" Gary called as he waved.

Only he didn't get too far from the trainer as a flying blur of Yellow and blue went straight for him. "GARY OAK I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Misty yelled as she tackled the other to the ground and began to strangle him. "I had to learn from my sisters that my boyfriend went up to Mt. Silver without me when he said he'd go with me when I got my break next weekend! Think how pissed off I was when I found this out!" Misty ranted as she continued to strangle the researcher.

Gary gagged and gasped, fighting to get air into his lungs but was saved when a chirp of curiosity came from beside the two of them.

Misty halted as the murder of Gary Oak to stare at the little yellow rodent that stood staring at the two with an amused look in its eyes. "Pikachu." Misty said as she stared for a long moment before turning her head and staring up at the Trainer in red. "Oh, hello there." Misty said as a blush colored her face and she instantly released Gary and stood up off of him.

The trainer didn't react in any way except snapping his fingers, the Pikachu instantly coming to him and jumping up on his shoulder. "I guess you already beat this lame piece of trash that I call my boyfriend?" Misty asked as she struggled to straighten her clothes and hair.

Gary stood up while rubbing his neck, glaring at the red head. "Yeah," he rasped out, "He beat me and soundly. Most of his Pokemon took only one move to knock my team out. I don't even know what his Pikachu did to take out my Electivire." Gary admitted.

Misty nodded her head at this before turning towards the trainer with determination in her eyes. "Since you defeated Gary, I should avenge him, so I challenge you to a Pokemon battle!" She stated as she came to stand with hands on her hips and a cocky smirk on her face. "Do you accept?"

The trainer didn't say anything as Gary expected but instead turned to his right and walked off. Misty and Gary blinked in confusion for a long moment.

"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?" Misty screeched as she ran after the other trainer, Gary following behind her with a sweat drop on his head. "GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD!" Misty yelled as she trailed behind the trainer into a cave that was off set from where they had just been and came to a screeching halt.

Gary just about slammed into her but was able to come to a stop as well. Gary blinked as he took in the difference in the cave. "It's warm in here." He said as he looked over Misty's shoulders and into the cave.

"Yeah and not just that." Misty stated as she pointed towards three cave paths. "Which one do you suppose he took?" She questioned as she looked over her shoulder at Gary, who now had his chin on her shoulder.

"I don't know." Gary said as he walked from around the Orange haired girl and towards the further right one and listened with his eyes closed. It was several moments later when he spoke. "This has running water down it, so I'm guessing it must have a stream or something." Gary moved to the next one and listened. "Nothing down this one that I can hear." Gary said and moved on to the furthest left one. "This one has something moving, Pokemon I'm assuming." Gary finished as he opened his eyes and turned to Misty.

Misty nodded her head and looked at each tunnel before deciding on the left one. "It might have his Pokemon in it, which might be what's causing the heat here if he has any fire types." Misty explained as she walked down it, Gary next to her. "So why didn't you wait for me to come with you?"

Gary shrugged his shoulders as he reached over and grabbed one of her hands. "Anxiousness and excitement mostly, but also because I didn't want to look stupid in case I lost, which I did, so I save some face in front of my girlfriend."

Misty giggled as she gave Gary's hand a gentle squeeze. "A year of dating and you still haven't learned that I don't care if you lose or win a battle, I just enjoy watching you battle." She said just as they came to a cavern, smiling at the blush on her boyfriend's face.

"It's not like I don't understand it's just the thought of losing in front of you makes me feel like a bad trainer." Gary said as he looked off to the side.

Misty sighed as she shook her head. "Please, would they make a weak trainer or a bad one a Gym Leader?" She asked and when Gary shook his head she smiled again. "See no problem then."

"ROOOOAAAAR!" Misty and Gary both froze at the roar and turned to the source of the sound, both stiffening at the group of Pokemon glaring at them heatedly. The largest of the bunch being the Charizard, towering over even the normal type Snorlax.

Misty gulped as she began to back up, trying hard not to instigate an attack from the Pokemon. "I think we just found his Pokemon." Misty said as she tried to get Gary to back up with her.

Only Gary wasn't moving as his eyes landed on a single figure among the Pokemon, six Pokeballs in his hands. "I think I know where he went Misty." Gary said as he locked eyes with the Red Trainer. Misty turned towards where Gary was looking and her eyes hardened as she realized where the other trainer had gone as well.

"He got six new Pokemon." Misty stated. "He accepted my Challenge."

TMS

A.N. Hahaha! So Gary got his ass handed to him and Misty is about to take on the Legendary Trainer as well. Let's see how she fairs against such a powerful force like the Red Trainer. Review and tell me what you all thought!

Next Time: Misty's battle begins and news spreads that Gary Oak had gone to Mt. Silver to Challenge the Trainer at the top with the news reaching a certain trainer and catching their interest. More information is spilled as well as past items begin to turn up when thought lost.

I would like everyone to think about some of the authors on Fanfiction that died recently or a while ago. Some of them died in tragic accidents or illnesses and have left stories unfinished or had others finish them for them in memory. I would like everyone reading this to lower their heads, clasp their hands together and pray for those who have been lost. Allow there to be a moment of silence for wherever you, the reader, are and remember not just the writers here on this site but those who have been lost in your life or in tragic events.

Please remember that life is short and that you should love those in your life while you can and show your appreciation for water comes into your life.

Again, thanks to those who have lost their lives for spreading inspiration through their works.
