"Okay.." Serenity said, following Phoenix. Suddenly she let out a
shrill scream and was frozen in her tracks, unable to move no
matter how hard she tried, so she looked like a statue.
An evil laugh came from the bushes near by as a dark shadow drifted
out. It was black as night, it's eyes were a glowing red, and it
floated about 5 feet off the ground. "Scared little Vibrava?" It
said in a ghostly voice as it drifted towards Phoenix.
"I," the shadow said, coming into the light, "am the fabled red
Mismagius! A special pokémon such as yourself should know who I
am!" She exclaimed, pausing for a moment and then resuming. "As for
your friend, she's been frozen in time and her energy is being
drained." She said with an evil grin.
"I didn't really expect much from a lowlife like you anyways.." She
said, shrugging. "Not unless you battle me! Until then, she will
remain in the state she is in FOREVER!" The Mismagius laughed.
Phoenix couldn't dodge in time and took the full hit, getting
slammed into a tree and sliding down stunned. She shook her head
and looked back up at the Mismagius and started a sandstorm over
the battle area, disappearing within it.
Mismagius coughed as the sand hit her. She then flew up into the
air and her cold voice echoed," you may have won this time, but you
won't win again..." And with that, she vanished. Serenity then
unfroze and fell over onto the ground, unconscious.
The sandstorm disapated, revealing Phoenix already next to
Serenity. She looked at her worriedly, then looked around. She
remembered the lake and figured that there would be berries near
there. "Don't worry Serenity..." Phoenix said, looking around
again. "I'm still here..."
A couple of hours later. Serenity blinked a couple of times and
then shot up, an alert expression on her face. She then let out a
breath of relief. "Phew... It's gone.."
