Sorry for the lateness of this chapter I have been busy (read my journal). Here is the next chapter of across time. Actual action in this one and more to come.

Disclaimer: There is gore death so if you don't like either stop reading now and go find a nice smutty story. Otherwise enjoy.

Also big thanks for devilmaycry he did great work with this one.

.

Jeff laid on his stomach as he looks down at the beach. He sees a large ship floating on the water. It was an old style ship. One that Jeff has only seen as museum pieces or as a historic cruise. For a brief second, he wanted to say ' Arr avast me hardies'. He stops short of laughing his ass off.

He watches Feraligatrs, Typhlosions, and a few Machokes moving things around, many crates and cages with Ninetales locked in them. The Ninetales looked as they have no strength in them. Humans were telling the pokemon what to do. There was one who seems to be in charge as he carries a whip with an Electabuzz who stays close to him.

It took everything Jeff had to stop the legendary dogs from running down there to fight to free the Ninetales. He had enough knowledge to know that they had numbers and can use the Ninetales as shields. He's seen enough cop shows to know that they were out gun. They had no real help coming.

This had to be in stealth mode, and they all sucked at that. He would have to go down there to really see what they could do. If he was a trainer, he would have a team by now and he could have solved it all by battle with there help…..but those damn fire foxes. He feels the fear starting to settle in as his body shakes a bit

“Jeff, are you ok ?" A tiny voice speaks to him. It sounded very young but it sounded scared. He looks over and sees the Vulpix.

“Pyra, shut up I am thinking." Jeff scolds the vulpix

The little Vulpix gets mad

“Stop calling me that! That is not my name!" She starts to get mad as he covers her mouth making her growl angrily towards him.

It was the other night Jeff started to call her that. She got upset with him, saying her family had not done the naming ceremony for her as of yet.

She explained to him when a Vulpix reaches a certain age, they would be given a name to them by their family.

Jeff told her he was not going to call her Vulpix. It was either Pyra or hey you.

She hated both, so he went with Pyra.

Suicune growled at them before speaking. “Be quiet you fools or they will notice us."

“We should just go down there. We can take them all down." Raikou growls

“For the last time, no! If we rescue them, we have to make sure we can save as many as we can. Otherwise they might outright kill them." Jeff hisses out in anger.

Jeff read about the history of the this land from the past to the present. It was not pretty. Many had used pokemon as tools, food, or worse. He prayed he was wrong about the last part he read in the history books. Fur traders.

They would kill pokemon for there fur. It was most likely why the Ninetales were taken, for their fur. Especially their tails. It was said the tails held magical powers. Bullshit! It was a fairy tale they had made up. The power came from within the pokemon.

He knew how this battle would turn out in his mind. It would be bad for all. The two legendaries alone could bring down the hammer of justice on the humans there. Yet he was afraid. Afraid for the ones he hated, yet more afraid for himself.

Why was he afraid? He was not going to battle just try to save the Ninetales. Yet he felt fear. He bit his tongue as he tried to calm down. He tasted the iron from his blood as it slowly seeped from his tongue

He had yet to let it sink in about where he was. To know that he was in the past and could understand pokemon. Yet he didn't scream. Instead, something inside was screaming at him. He beat these feelings back with his anger. His hatred is what keep his mind on track. Yes, he was saving those who destroyed his life, no the one who fucked it all up.

He closed his eyes and counted something his mother taught him when he got mad, which happened a lot. Yet all it seem to do was make him think of all the reasons he hated them. If he could, he would let them all die.

He stop with his thoughts as a paw touched him, thinking it was Raikou yet it felt small

He looked over at Pyra who looked up him with a sad expression. She felt his pain.

He counted again. This time he had no countdown of what he hated, but of numbers nothing more. His breathing became steady.

“Are you ok?" Such concern in her voice. If she only knew he wanted them all to die.

Or does he? Here he was going to try to save them. Yet, could he save them? But the promise he would make her do would ensure his future to be bright once again.

“Look, I'm going down there." He sees both Raikou and Suicune about to raise protest.

“No, I need to be alone. It would be best not to be seen. We need to see what is in the tent. I don't want any of them to be left behind. We don't know many are on the boat, but from what Pyra said there were dozens of her kind, both Ninetales and Vulpixes." He does not say but he is already afraid what he will find. Best not upset the fighters. They had to fight with the thought of saving everyone.

He was going to take the brunt of the truth. Something he hope he can handle.

_______

With much luck on his side, he hope the others stay behind as he makes his way around the base camp. He avoids many of the pokemon, especially the Houndooms. They might be the ones that had chased him. He didn't have the Arcanines to back him up this time.

He thinks to his cell which has long died since yesterday. He did something stupid with it. The last of it's power he....never mind, he had a mission to complete. Staying out of everyone's way or making it look like he was working was the best option.

He makes it to the tent as a smell wafts from it. It smells like…. no, please Arceus be wrong. Please be wrong. He is about to open the flap to the tent as he hears something. He moves to the side of the tent praying no one sees him.

A Machamp is eating something. He tries his best not to look at it as it eats.

As he waits for any other movement, he makes his move inside the tent when it hits him. The smell of death.

His mind flashes back when he was walking near the road. One day he found the dead carcass of a Electrike. He felt sorry for the dead pokemon and had tried to bury it. The smell stayed with him as he had it with him most of the day after he buried the dead pokemon. The expression on it's face was etched in his mind as it stayed with him to this day. Its insides were mostly gone as it stared lifelessly into nothing. Here, he saw the same as many carcasses of Ninetales litter the tent. Some on a table were skinned, others hanging as most of the meat has been taken from their body. He saw one that seemed to be in the middle of skinning. He sees two other Ninetales as they cower in their cages muzzled.

Jeff does his best to keep his stomach in place as the smell here begins to fill his nose. He can even tastes it and it makes him gag. How can butchers stand this everyday?

He walks over to the Ninetales as they cower away from him. He wishes they were like this back from when he came from, but this is not the time to think such thoughts. He opens the cages and unties there muzzles. They give him a fearful look as they refuse to leave the cage.

“Look, I really could care less, but I had promised one of your kind I help save you. Go to the hill near here. There you will find a Vulpix, Raikou, and Suicune. Take the Vulpix to the other survivors. We will try to rescue the others and run do not look back. The rest who are still alive we will free….. I hope." He says with little hope in his voice. He was scared.

The Ninetales look at him but seem to distrust him. “Why should we believe you human? You are like the rest here trying to gain something for yourself."

The other Ninetales snarls. “We should kill you now and be done with it."

“Look you fools, I don't give a flying Psyduck if you believe me or not. I'm here to do a job and collect on a promise. Anyway, you two don't look you would light a fucking match as weak as you look."

Both look startled by him understanding them. “How .." Jeff puts his finger to the Ninetales muzzle.

“Not now. Maybe if I'm still alive you can ask but not now. Now you two escape as I said. Make sure you take that fucking Vulpix with you. I don't want her to see this." They both nod as he lets them leave. He prays they don't get caught. They are in no shape to battle. He hears a whine from the table he just notices that was in the middle of being skinned alive. By Arceus how insane were these fools? They were killing them slowly. They all needed to die! The humans and the pokemon that follow them. Despite what many thought about pokemon being slaves to humans, most did what they wanted. If they wanted to, they would have stopped their human masters from doing this. Then again, some pokemon were just evil to begin with.

He looks at the Ninetales as it whines in pain. It is slowly bleeding to death as sees the wound on it stomach was meant to be slow and painful. It was positioned so the blood would bleed out and not damage the fur.

Fucking assholes!

“Human...please….end it.“ He hears the pokemon ask him.

“ I … I can't," He feels the fear. The feelings of helplessness of being here hit him as he cries looking at the Ninetales.

“Please. The pain. I can't do it myself. Please let me embrace the darkness. Let my flame go out. I do not wish to be alive anymore."

The pain he hears in the voice makes him want to cry out for help but there is none to help in this era. It is not the modern age where some nurse joy or doctor could help this pokemon.

“Human, I can sense you are a kind soul, torn by hatred towards my… coughs" as he spats out blood. “Please let me go without pain."

“How …. “ He chokes out he cannot continue as he is crying now.

A voice enters his head. <I cannot speak but you can end my life flame. The knife human. Use it to stab me in my heart so it will end. I will guide you.>

Jeff sees the knife as he looks at the Ninetales. < Do not cry for me. I can see you are trying to save us, yet you despise us…...now please, the pain I cannot stand it anymore. Please end it for me. >

Jeff feels the Ninetales telling how to do it as he has seen many of his kind killed the same way. They were the lucky ones.

He picks it up and holds it in his hand as he looks at the Ninetales. It's eyes glows as suddenly he loses control of his body and he stabs the Ninetales as it stiffens up and begins to have a peaceful look on its muzzle.

Jeff was trying not to sob loudly as he cries more.

He can hear the Ninetales die in his mind and the last words will haunt him for the days to come.

<Thank you for taking care of my daughter.>

Then silence.

Jeff can do nothing but cry at his own weakness, fear, and hatred that chains him as he did what he said he was going to do and it has not lighten his heart.

Raikou and Suicune both see the Ninetales looking like they were walking dead. They were able to take them to some berry bushes as they ate greedily as Pyra asked them about her family. Both look at each other and look away. They did not know as they tried not to look as there kind was butchered.

Pyra looked terrified at hearing this. She felt something in her heartbreak as she thought she heard her father. Yet, proud Ninetales was no where near them.

They both shrank from the screams they heard. Their tale makes the three pokemon shiver in fear.

“We have waited long enough. We attack. You two, take her to your pack she will guide you. We will end this. They all will witness our true power and know they are not allowed to harm pokemon in this forest." She growls.

Raikou looks worried “What about Jeff? He said he would signal us."

“We cannot wait for him. And...wait what is that? …..smoke? I guess that is it.“ Suicune smile.

With that she takes off as Raikou watches her. “I think she wants to inflict pain on them. Pyra be safe. We will return. Just wait here till we free the rest of your pack."

Raikou leaves after Suicune.

“Pyra? You have a name little one? I thought your family was going to name you soon?"one of the Ninetales ask.

“No, the human that freed you called me that. He.. he is so stupid!" She barks out

“Yet you came to him and not the legendary ones for help?" The other Ninetales asked.

“He saved me. I felt he could help me. He could make sure my family would be fine now…." She starts to cry.

“It is understandable little one. He is different. He can hear our words, something no human has been able to do. I felt a darkness within him and a light. Something I never expected to see in a human. Both fight for control of him."

An explosion is heard as Pyra thinks of Jeff. Her heart aches for him as it does for her family. Without any other thought, she runs towards the sources of the explosion.

“Wait little one!!!" the Ninetales shouts yet is unable to do much as he is still weak.

“I pray to the gods above for her and the others safety."

_______

Well, the fire seem like a good idea at the time as a Feraligatr slams his foot where he was just a second ago. It roars in anger as he swipes at Jeff, who barely is able to keep out of his reach.

Jeff hears Suicune roar as she calls the water near her and slams into the pokemon making many become waterlogged or unable to fight as Raikou finished them off with his lighting. It looks like the odds are in their favor. Good. He could try to beat this giant leather pokemon.

As if he turns tail and runs into the battle with Suicune and Raikou. The Feraligatr only thoughts is to kill this human who has destroyed it and the other pokemons food source. The Ninetales were tough, but they tasted better than berries.

The giant gator pokemon wonder how a human tasted as he drooled a little at the thought. He ran after the human and was about to clamp down on him when he notice something in the air coming towards him and it hits. An electric attack making his body seized up as he roars in pain. With that, darkness claimed him.

Jeff smiles as before he is tackled by two Houndooms. He tries his best to fight them off. He grabs one by the jaw, keeping it from snapping at him the other has his pants as it is trying to rip him apart.

He can feel the heat from both as the other at his leg is ready to release a flame attack.

Shit.

This was going to hurt.

Then Suicune appears and blast both with a water gun and looks down at Jeff. “You know you should retreat to the others. We can handle this." The sound of concern can be heard.

“No! I have to free the rest. Once they are free, we can run."

Jeff gets up as she summons more water from the ocean side as it hits more of the pokemon as Raikou lights them up with his electric attacks.

The humans are running scared, only the strong ones stay behind to try and fight the legendary dogs.

He makes his way to the ship and hopes for little or no resistance. Still he grabs a spear that was discarded.

He makes his way up the ram of the ship. No one is here on the deck. Damn it. He has to go below and he prays he can find them fast. It won't take long for the others to come back for him as they saw him enter the ship. They only let him go as Suicune and Raikou are keeping them at bay.

He is about to head for the stairs that he hopes would lead him to the Ninetales.

“WAIT!!!"

He hears the voice he dreads to hear.

Pyra.

He hears the Ninetales voice in his head saying to take care of her. Yet he had to kill him. What would she do if she found out he had to kill him to end his suffering? Would she see it that way?

“I told you to stay behind. WHY ARE YOU HERE?!?!"

She shrinks back from him but then gets mad. “I am here to help. You need it. “ She huffs at him Her tails wagging back and forth showing her agitation.

“Fine. Just stay out of the way. “ He bites out.

She looks like she is about retort something but stops as she bites her tongue and just nods . They head down to the lower deck of the ship. He can hear the waves as the slowly crash against the ship making it rock back and forth. He is so glad he has some sea legs. Otherwise from what happened earlier, he would be losing his stomach. He needs to finish this fast.

He hears whines from the room ahead as he heads there. From a side door, he sees one of the crew as he is getting his pants back on. He assumes it is because it was the bathroom he just got out of.

Did they have them back then?

The crew member face becomes angry as he pulls his knife out . Jeff smiles as he has a spear but does the rookie mistake and raise it over his head and it get stuck in the ceiling.

“Oh Arceus do you want me to die here?" is his only thought as the crew memeber smiles and is about to stab Jeff. Then small flames come from Jeff's side and make contact with the knife. He screams as he drops the blade and shake his hand in pain as he blows on it.

Jeff runs up on him and punches the crew member in the face then rams him into the door and falls to the ground with a silly expression on his face.

“See I helped." Pyra states proudly.

“Yeah yeah," Brushes it off.

They continued towards the room he hopes the Ninetales should be at. He opens the door and sees the Ninetales and Vulpixs as they look so miserable. This was the great beast that destroyed his life?

No, best to get this over with. He had plans with their freedom. He can make sure his future will be a bright one.

“Damn it, I need a key." He begins to look around for a key. If they could, they would have just melted out but he assumed like the two he freed before they were to weak to do anything.

As he looks around for a key, Pyra looks also but not knowing what she is looking for she started to poke at everything. Then she reaches a cabinet that has a simple latch. She pokes it with her nose as the latch flips off then a rainbow of crystal colors come spilling out.

Just as he finds the key he hopes he sees Pyra open the cabinet and is startled as crystals fall on her. She flails as she falls to the floor with the crystals top of her.

Then he realizes they are evolution stones. Yet not one a firestone. He breathes a sigh of relief. She pops out of the pile looking miffed. As she looks up, a lone stone falls out, which happens to be a firestone. It slams right on her face.

She flails a bit then begins to glow and start to grow. No not now. The light of evolution might bring some others down here.

The light dies as many of the Ninetales go silent watching her evolve. The light stops as she has evolved into a Ninetales.

He should be happy, but that happiness fades fast as he realizes what she looks like.

It' can't be….it was her! It was a mirror of his nightmares. The Ninetales his hatred was based on when it forced him to drive his love away. Her tail tips are wht give it away as they are not the normal color of a ninetales. They are white.

He clenches his fist as Pyra looks at herself trying to comprehend what just happen.

“I think I evolved." She gives him a blank expression.

Yet his mind is trying to wrap around what has happen. How can she be the one who did this to him?

This made no sense. How could she do what was done to him? She is but a child. No way she could hold a grudge…. Could she? No that makes no sense.

“What's wrong Jeff? Free them. I see my brother and mother. Mom where's Dad?" she asked happily as she see her family. It pains him to think what will happen when she wil learn the truth.

Is that the cause of the pain he will feel one day? No this…..no he can change this. Can't he?

He has released most of the vulpine pokemon. They look weak and harrgard. He has to get them out of here.

“We are leaving. Come on, we should be able to escape if Suicune and Raikou did there jobs."

Most are surprised to hear those names. As they follow, he can hear Pyra talk about him as if he was some hero. God he feels so useless. The ship starts to rock. Oh shit. Please tell me there's not a storm coming as he is able to look out a port window. He sees dark clouds on the horizon.

Shit, have to get them out of here now before it hits.

Then it hits him about the pokemon that were out there. The Electabuzz he was out there fighting, oh god Suicune.

He runs as the pokemon do their best to keep up as Pyra brings up the rear making sure none are left behind.

As he makes it to the deck, no one is here. Maybe they were able to defeat him.

Jeff arrives at a plack that allows entrance to the ship from the shore. He sees what he dreads, Suicune is down and Raikou is beaten up badly . There a few pokemon left on the poachers side. He is all alone looking exhausted. This was not good. Only Pyra can fight, if that. She has no real battle experience at all. This was going to be a slaughter.

The captain he assumes looks at Jeff.

“Some bleeding heart fool opposes me and my crew. I will deal with you with my main beast."

He pulls out what looks like a horn. The sound is loud as the pokemon cover there ears.

“Now you landlubbers will know what fear truly is. Come forth my great beast and destroy these fools!"

He looks to where he hears the water rush away as a larger creature emerges from the water.

It was a giant Tentacruel.

As Jeff looks at the giant sea monster. One thought crosses his mind a line from a movie .

“We are going to need a bigger boat."
