The sound of water flowing somewhere behind the thick forest of trees in the room continued to remain the only sound in the room as Draco sat beside his mother on the log, just staring up at the sky. At a distance away from the two, Scarlet and Forest stood watching, letting Draco have his silent moment with his mother.
"Forest, will he be okay?" Scarlet whispered, not taking her eyes off of Draco.
"That is for him to decide...", Forest said softly, closing his eyes as the very thought of what Draco would have to do.
"Decide? Decide what?" Scarlet asked.
"From what I can tell, my aunt most likely had broken shortly after she and Draco had been... separated... The damage is... well, I'll let you guess", Forest said as he crossed his arms.
"Oh no... so she's been like that for so many years... Draco...", she said as she covered her mouth with her hand, a single tear welling in her eye as she looked at Draco, just sitting next to her with a smile on his face.
As Draco turned his head to his mother, he continued to smile. Slowly reaching for her hand, he wrapped his fingers around hers, he let out a shaky gasp. Slouching over, Draco pressed his left hand to his face and curled his lips inward as he shook his head. Letting out a laugh, Draco wiped away the tears that had began to well up. The familiar feeling of his mothers' hand just forced out a laugh as he still couldn't believe that he was sitting right next to her after all those years. Sitting upright, Draco looked at her one final time before lifting her hand up and placing his other hand on top of hers.
"I'm sorry you had to go through all of that... I really am...", Draco said as he slowly felt himself shake, "I never meant for you to go through all of that pain... but now... now I'll make it better", Draco said as sobs began to escape him.
As he stood, his torn shirt slipped slightly off of his left shoulder, revealing a little less than half of his chest. Looking down at her face, Draco's face tensed up as he saw her slowly lift her head up to look at him, showing him her blank stare.
"What's he going to do?" Scarlet asked.
"When someone of our species or part of our evolutionary branch is broken mentally, we feel immense pain, but we aren't aware of it, but it still harms us. The only way is to hope you can bring them back... or kill them if you cannot", Forest said, his face empty of any emotion, just empty.
"Kill her?" Scarlet said, gasping at what he said.
"Yes... now, I assume he'll want to get rid of his human clothing. Wearing something such as that during such an accation would mean great disrespect towards her", Forest said.
Looking back at Draco, Scarlet watched as he moved his arm. Reaching for his right shoulder, Draco pinched the few strands of his shirt and peeled it off of himself. Dropping it onto the ground, Draco didn't notice as his mothers eyes twitched a little as his chest was now fully bare. As he grabbed the waist band of his tattered jeans, he stopped his movements as he felt a small and slender hand touch the smoothed down gem on his chest. Scarlet and Forest had also frozen completely. None of them moved for what seemed to be hours.
Draco's gaze had been fixed to the ground, only seeing grass and his and his mothers feet. Moments later, Draco and Forest's eyes grew wide as they felt a familiar but faint mind press against theirs. Slowly lifting up his head inch my inch, Draco was now looking at her face. Her eyes were blank, but flowing with tears. As the mind grew stronger, color began to return to her eyes.
"S-...Sprout?" She said.
"Mother? Mother!" Draco said as he threw his arms around her and brought her into a hug, making sure that her gem wasn't stabbing him.
"By Arceus, how in the world?" Forest said as he watched Draco sob out loud as he continued to hug his mother.
"Oh mother! You're okay!" Draco said in between his sobbing.
"S-son... are you...", she said as the arm she had raised to touch Draco was still in its position.
"Yes! Yes, it is me! I'm you're son! Sprout!" Draco said as he moved back, his hands on her shoulders as he continued to sob.
Watching as Draco and his mother were back together again, Scarlet began to cry as well. Suddenly hugging Forest, Forest just stood there confused, but shrugged and hugged her back at the fact that he had his Aunt back and that his cousin was thrilled that his mother was no longer lost.
After a few minutes of crying, they were now all slowly making their way back the way they had came down the stairs. With his mother in his arms, Draco, Scarlet, and Forest made their way back to Kage. Finally making it back into the room where they had left Kage, they stepped inside and saw that Kage was still lying on the ground.
"Father... we're back", Draco said as a smile spread across his face.
As they came closer, Draco's smile faded as they continued to get no response from him. Stopping by Kage's side, Draco and the others could now see why Kage was not responding. Kneeling down by Kage, Draco let his mother sit down beside Kage. Placing his hand on Kage's shoulder, Draco smiled as tears streamed down his cheek and landed on Kage's flaky and wrinkled up cheek. There he lied, Kage's skin had shriveled up like an old mans skin, his hair all loose and parted, he was dead.
"My love... what have become of you...", Draco's mother said in a low voice.
"Man... Draco, the drugs healing factor must have drained him...", Forest said.
"Yeah... nothing we can do about it now... Forest, can you teleport all of us? And Father?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, I'll carry him", Forest said as he slid his arms under Kage's legs and back and stood up with him.
Gently doing the same with his mother, Draco waited until she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck. Standing close, Forest teleported them all out of the room and back to the surface. Hearing the sounds of guns clicking as they were raised to them, Draco and the others paid no attention and walked towards a large open tent with small beds.
"Ah, Draco Sir. Who are these two?" A man asked as he signaled the others to lower their guns.
"This is my Mother and my Father", Draco said as he set her down onto the bed.
"Oh, I see. Would you like to join the others? They are currently working to dig down to and Saphia", the man said as Forest placed Kage's lifeless body down on another bed.
"Can you take us to them?" Scarlet asked.
"Yes, if you would follow me please", the man said as he turned around and walked towards the mountain of rubble.
"You, make sure she gets cared for. If anything happens to her, you're dead", Draco said to a man in a white robe.
"Son...", his mother said, still coming back to her senses.
"Don't worry mother, I'll be back", Draco said with a smile as he hugged her one last time and kissed her on the forehead before standing up and following the man with the others.
After a short minute of walking, they saw large boulders floating out of a large hole as Arceus and the others lifted boulder out in his shrunken form.
"Hey! Susan! We're back!" Draco shouted as he stepped into the hole, letting himself slide down the walls of the hole.
"Draco, dear! Are you all okay?" Susan said as she looked up.
"Yes! How's it coming along?" Forest asked as he and the others made it to the bottom.
"We've made a lot of progress so far", Hades said as let out a loud grunt as he threw a large boulder up and out of the hole.
"We're almost there", Carlos said as he hurled a bigger boulder out of the hole.
"How far down is he right now?" Draco asked as he crouched down and placed his hand down on the floor of the hole they all had dug.
"Just a few more meters, we should make it in time to intercept Robert and the people that are carrying him", a man said as he hooked a bucket full of dirt to a line and let it get pulled up by another.
"Wait, someone's got him!?" Scarlet exclaimed.
"It would appear so. The radar shows that there is a cluster of com signals coming from that one group", another man said.
"I'm going down there then!" Draco said as he stepped back and readied himself to teleport down.
"Hold it there", Carlos said as he placed his hand on Draco's shoulder.
"Yeah?" Draco asked.
"Take me with you, please. I want to handle the guys who have Robert... Craw! Return!" Carlos said as he took out Craw's Pokeball and returned him as he was just about to hack at the stone with his Metal Claw.
"Okay, hold on", Draco said as he placed his hand on Carlos' shoulder and teleported them down to the bottom.
For a moment there, everyone just stood still and looked at the spot where the two were.
"Does anyone else wonder why we have not thought of using teleportation?" Arceus said.
"...Wow", Hades said as he scratched his head.
Down underground, Denis continued to walk with Thor until they saw a light flash in the distance. Hearing the sound of a Pokeball opening up, Denis leaned to the side and looked past Thor's arm and saw a large orange beam appear out of no where.
"Thor! Counter it!" Denis exclaimed.
"Aye!" Thor said as he moved Saphia to one arm and then thrust his arm forward, sending a loud bolt of lightning at the Hyper Beam.
"Craw! Is that you? Please stop!" Saphia shouted.
"Saphia?" Carlos said as the beam disappeared, letting Thor stop with his counter attack.
"Saphia!" Draco exclaimed as he ran into the light of Thor's Flash move.
"Draco, it is nice to see you! Hurry, we need to get Robert out of here and find a doctor", Saphia said as she tapped on Thor to let her down.
"Robert's hurt!?" Carlos exclaimed as he returned Craw and ran towards them.
"Oh Arceus...", Draco said as he covered his mouth as he saw Robert in Denis' arms.
"Did you do this!?" Carlos asked.
"No, no, no. Sir, we didn't do anything. If anything, we saved Robert. Now I know you're mad, but we've gotta get him out now", Denis said.
"Right", Draco said as he teleported them all out without another word.
"Draco, did you-Oh my Arceus! Robert!" Scarlet exclaimed as she dropped to her knees and placed her hands on Robert as he laid unconscious in Denis' arms.
"Forest!" Carlos called out.
"I'm here!" Forest said as he quickly began to work on Robert.
"Please, if thou would not mind Our intervention, We would like to repay thy for all the troubles We have caused", Arceus said.
Floating past Forest and Scarlet, Arceus lowered his head to Robert. With his eyes glowing, Robert's wounds slowly began to heal. After seconds of silence, Arceus raised his head up.
"We have done what We can. Though We are unable to restore what he has lost... We will take our leave now. Come, children", Arceus said as his eyes glowed a faint purple as he lifted up the three Pokeballs containing Pakia, Dialga, and Giratina.
Looking down at Robert, everyone watched as Robert slowly opened his eyes. Once Robert let out a groan and slowly sat upright, everyone cheered from down in the pit to the soldiers up at the rim of the large pit that was dug. Leaping from Susan's back, Junior cried loudly as he buried his face into Robert's chest.
"Robert...", Saphia said with a smile as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Hey, Saphia", Robert said in a horse voice.
Raising his hand up to Saphia, the Lucario pushed it aside and lunged at him for a hug, sandwiching Junior between them as they locked lips. Everyone cheered louder as the two finally kissed for the first time.
~Time Skip: 10 Months~
~Carlos and Isabel's House~
Charging at Robert, Junior grabbed the ends of the two blue staffs in his paws and swung at Robert's head and legs from either sides. Grinning, Robert raised the front of his foot up and raised his arm up to the other staff, stopping both attacks. Sweeping at Junior's feet, Robert slammed his forearm against Junior's cheek, sending him spinning through the air and onto his back.
"Maybe with more training you'll finally be able to beat me, son", Robert said as he left the Lucario on the ground and walked towards Draco as he cradled his daughter in his arms.
"Come on, Pa! Just let me win for once!" Junior exclaimed as he flailed about on the grassy floor.
"Looks like someone's still unable to win against his old man", Scarlet said as she let out a giggle.
"And with only one arm too", Draco said with a chuckle.
"Hey! Saphia! How long do you think it'll take for Junior to win against Robert?" Hades said as he looked down at Saphia from the roof as the Lucario sat at a white picnic table on the front lawn.
"Oh quiet dad, it's not like you can beat him yourself", Saint said with a giggle as she peeked over the peak of the roof.
Letting the others talk, Robert walked towards Saphia. Grabbing a chair, Robert set it down beside Saphia and sat down. Kissing her on the cheek, Robert looked down and smiled.
"Draco and Scarlet had a human child... What do you think ours will be?" Saphia asked as she smiled as well.
"I don't know, and I don't care if our child is a pokemon or a human, it'll still be our child", Robert said as he raised his only hand and slowly stroked Saphia's enlarged belly.
Leaning in to kiss her again, he stopped as he heard a "swoosh" and now had Steven's face in between the two of them.
"How are you all doing-*Crack*" Steven said before getting punched in the face by Robert.
"Sora!" Junior said as the large Arcanine looked down at Junior as he was still lying on the ground.
"Hello, darling!" Sora said as she leaned down and licked Junior's face.
"Wow, Sora learned to talk?" Robert asked as he looked at his son and his girlfriend as Sora picked Junior up with her maw.
"Wow, you learned how to say hi in a new way", Steven said as he pinched his bloody nose.
"Your fault for getting in the way", Robert said with a chuckle.
"So, when are you due?" Sora asked as she padded over with Junior riding on her back.
"In about two to three weeks", Robert said.
"I can't wait to get a younger sibling!" Junior said.
"Wait, you never did an ultrasound?" Steven asked as he lifted his head up.
"No, we wanted it to be a surprise", Robert said as he ran his fingers down Saphia's belly.
"Indeed", Saphia said as rubbed her belly as well.
"I hope it's a boy", Scarlet said.
"100 saying it's a girl", Draco said.
"150 it's a boy!" Hades said as looked down from the roof.
"My dads life that it's a girl!" Saint said as she shoved him off the roof, earning a loud scream from him as he fell and then smacked down into the ground.
Everyone began to laugh at Hades' fall. From a distance, Carlos and Isabel watched from a distance as Hades began to shout up at Saint, only to cause the others to laugh even harder.
"It's nice to see them happy", Isabel said.
"Yeah... come on, we'll be late", Carlos said as he started up their car.
Climbing into the car, Isabel closed the door. Casting one last look at them, Carlos drove off.
~The End~
And with that, I give you the end! Sorry that I made a large time skip... and for the fact that I made it a bit rushed with the events... as usual.

Also, about the bonus chapter, do you guys want me to write it? It's gonna be kinda pointless and stupid to be honest o_o. So tell me if you want one in a FORM OF A REVIEW! DO NOT leave a RESPONSE to the question, I don't want responses without it being a review cause it'll just be a waste of space in the "Reviews" section.
Also, go to my Profile and check out my Fanfiction Facebook page and like it! It's so I can better post updates and answer questions if you guys ever have any!
