              After going back inside, Professor Ivy and her Chansey helped clean up Mattias, then sprayed Super Potion on his injuries. Mattias was then brought back to the aquarium where he was comforted by the mantine and mantyke. A little flabébé, who had witnessed what went on earlier, slipped into the backyard, where the top of the aquarium was. She wanted to give her condolences to Mattias, so she used her fairy powers to make a water lily appear on the surface of the water.

             Mattias appreciated the gift the young fairy gave him, and showed it with a warm expression and a nod. BiiMii visited Mattias later that day, at the top of the aquarium. She was still concerned about how he was feeling, but Mattias, with a affectionate expression, assured her, he will be fine. Everyone's comfort helped him feel better, although he was still bothered by the fact that Missingno had committed necromancy on Oscar's body. The body may be just a shell for the soul, but it was still disrespectful and vile to do such things to it.

            The next nine days were rather peaceful. Dialga couldn't help but get the feeling that a certain angel had something to do with it. Mattias' blood test results came in, and to everyone's joy, Mattias was perfectly healthy, he just was feeling the side effects of getting older, and he was going to live for at least another ten years. Although Mattias no longer had a reason to stay, he and his family still wanted to be with the others, who they've become so fond of. Jake, Autumn, Mewtwo, and the others were glad to have them stay with them, as they had grown very fond of them, too.

            Now the group had to decide what to do next. Mewtwo had fully recovered from the transplant, Mattias' got his blood test results, so they didn't really have a reason to stay on the island. No one was sure if they should stay on the island, or go back to Pallet Town. And then there was the safety of the pokemon on the island. Most of them had just migrated there, and had already settled in. Rayquaza and Dialga told the others they would come up with something.

             The following day, Autumn was in the kitchen, baking honey buns, using the honey that was given to her as a gift. Jake was passing by outside the kitchen, and looked in to check up on her. She seemed rather content as she was baking, and Jake was glad she was in good spirits. He wanted her to be able to enjoy the days without having to worry about anyone or anything trying to hurt her.

           Once the honey buns were done, anyone who got a whiff of them came to get one. Even a few flabébé were peeking through the windows, wondering what that sweet, delicious scent was. Seeing this, Autumn left a plate with a honey bun on it outside for them. After she went back inside, the little fairy pokemon tasted the dessert, and soon after started chowing down.

            "Even fairies think your baking is superb," Jake said to Autumn with a smile.

            "I'm glad they're enjoying it," Autumn giggled, "They're so cute."

            Jake could say the same about Autumn. He loved seeing her smile and when her face lit up over what she adored. A few minutes later, as Autumn was putting the rest of the honey buns into a container, Jake noticed that the flabébé and combee were sensing something and soon they fled from the area.

             "Something just spooked the pokemon away," Jake said in a serious tone.

             Autumn, feeling concerned, went over beside Jake and looked out the window with him. In the sky, some bird pokemon flew away from the fields, as quickly as they could.

            "It's gotta be another attack," Jake said.

            "I'll warn the others," Autumn said while heading out of the kitchen.

            Suddenly, the two sensed two evil presences. Autumn was able to recognize one of them, even from a far distance. It was Missingno. The other presence she couldn't recognize at a distance. Mewtwo and Mattias sensed the two evil presences as well.

             "Mattias...It's Missingno," Mewtwo said to the elder clone telepathically, from his room.

             Mattias knew who the other presence was. "........And Giovanni..."

             All the pokemon in the house started growling and hissing when they sensed the presence of a Missingno doppelganger. Autumn met up with Mewtwo, who told her that the second presence was Giovanni. The two spread the word to everyone in the house. Everyone got ready for battle, for Giovanni was one of the most threatening of enemies and Missingno's greatest follower. Jake couldn't help but feel uneasy at the idea of his father being on the island. He felt both fear and hostility towards the man. Still, he was not going to let him harm anyone.

              Everyone moved out into the fields, where Mattias had pin pointed Giovanni and Missingno's location. As expected, Giovanni was there, but he was alone, save for the Missingno doppelganger inside him.

             "Ah Jake, my son...I was told you were here," Giovanni said with smug smirk, "As is the Maiden of Light, herself. And Mewtwo, it's been two years, hasn't it?"

             "How do you remember me?" Mewtwo questioned, "I erased your memories of me."

             "You didn't erase them, you repressed them," Giovanni explained, "Missingno was able to unlocked them. His doppelgangers really are quite helpful."

              "Still depending on the Evil One, Giovanni?" Mattias asked in a snarky tone.

             Giovanni looked towards Mattias, who he did not notice earlier.

               "You...," Giovanni responded, feeling surprised.

               "Didn't expect me to live this long, did you?" Mattias taunted, "Turns out I'm much more healthy than you thought."

               "You really are full of surprises, creature...," Giovanni said, feeling despise for the elderly clone, "But I won't let my guard down with you again." He then looked towards his son. "Jake, I was hoping you would carry on the Rockette family lineage...Why do you still deny it?"

               "I refuse to be a part of the Rockette family," Jake hissed as he stepped forward, "You may have given me life, Giovanni, but I will never be your son!"

                Giovanni smirked. "We'll see about that..."

                Suddenly, the others, excluding Jake, were knocked back a couple of feet away by some unseen force. Just then, small black stone totems appeared around Jake and Giovanni, while two large ones appeared on either side of Jake, and a large force field was revealed to be around them. Adelmar approached the force field and touched it, to find that he couldn't pass through it. After thinking for a moment, he started breathing flames on the force field.

               "It's no use," Giovanni said smugly, "That force field cannot be broken. This is the same old magic our ancestor used, son. It was often used for imprisonment...and torture."

                Before Jake could speak, the two large totems started to electrocute him with black lightning. Jake scream in pain, as he felt many volts go through his body.

                 "Jake-kun!!!" Autumn cried as she and Ash ran over to the force field.

                 "Let him go!!!" Ash shouted, while banging his fist on the force field.

                 "If you won't join me willingly, Jake, then I shall have to use force," Giovanni said.

                 Mewtwo went up to the force field, rage in his eyes. "Damn you, Giovanni! He's your son! How could you do this to him?!"

               "This is how the Rockette family handles those who defy their bloodline," Giovanni said, "Jake...You cannot change the fact that you are my son, whether you accept it or not. My blood runs in your veins."

               "...Th-That may be t-true...b-but...you a-are n-not my father...," Jake strained to speak, as he tried to resist the evil power that was harming him, "I am...my m-mother's s-son...Her f-family is-s m-my family...and s-s-so are my fr-friends...My f-family are th-the ones who tru-truly lo-ove me..."

              "But your friends' blood doesn't run in your veins do they?"

              "Th-That doesn't matter! They're still...my family!"

              "But you are still a part of the Rockette family, whether you like it or not. You'll eventually become like us. You will hunger for power, and will do whatever it takes to get it."

              "Don't listen to him, Jake!" Autumn cried, "That will never be you!"

              "It runs in the family, Jake," Giovanni said, "Every generation that is born shares the same evil in their veins."

               "That's not true, Jake!" Mattias exclaimed, "You are one of the few who didn't inherit their evil! You are nothing like the Rockettes!"

               "Matt-tiiias is right," Jake uttered, "I d-did not in-h-herit your evil!"

               "Are you sure about that?" Giovanni questioned, smugly, "Missingno has told me about your powers. What was your element again? ....Darkness?"

               Jake cried out in agony as the large totems put more power into torturing him.

               "JAAAAAKKE-KUUUUN!!!!" Autumn shrieked, as tears streamed down her face.

               "LET HIM GO, YOU BASTARD!!!" Ash screamed.

               Everyone was now scared for Jake's life, while Giovanni found amusement in torturing his son as he tried to break him.

              "Enough it this, Giovanni!" Mattias exclaimed, "Let Jake go!!!"

              "Jake...You have the element of Darkness," Giovanni said, "It is the same element Missingno and Mutnia uses. It is the same element of magic our ancestor used...You truly are one of the Rockette family."

                Jake fell to his knees. He felt like he was going to pass out. Both his father's words and the pain the totems were causing him were too much for him to bear.

               "Jake-kun...The Darkness you use is not the same as what the enemy uses," Autumn wept, leaning against the force field, "The Darkness they use is corrupt, while yours is pure and untainted...because you are not corrupt or evil..."

                 Jake listened to Autumn, while struggling to stay awake.

              "There's a reason why pokemon can talk to you," Autumn said, tears rolling down her face, "Only those who are pure of heart can have that gift...You are pure of heart, Jake-kun. You are a very kind, loving, and noble person....That's what made me fall for you."

               Jake became wide awake when he heard what she just said.

               "....I love you, Jake-kun," Autumn wept.

              Just then, Jake started to give off a dark aura, as his eyes glowed yellow, and a tear rolled down his face. To know that Autumn loved him, it gave him so much strength inside. He unleashed a blast of dark power, destroying the two totems that were torturing him. Giovanni couldn't believe what was happening, as Jake stood up, and the others looked on with joy.

              "I am not a Rockette," Jake said, "I will never follow your evil ways. I shall forever be loyal to the woman I love, the Maiden of Light."

              Jake unleashed a larger blast of dark power, destroying the totems that were creating the force-field, to Giovanni's shock. Jake then lunged forward and with his dark powers, he punched his father right in his jaw. Giovanni flew back a few feet, and laid there stunned for a moment. He sat up, and glared at Jake with his eyes glowing red.

             "....So be it, Jake...," Giovanni hissed, "...When the time comes...I shall have you killed as well....You are not my son."

              And with that, Missingno teleported Giovanni away from the area. Jake let down his aura, and his eyes returned to normal. He then turned around to face Autumn, who smiled at him while shedding tears of joy, and Jake smiled warmly at her. Autumn ran over to him, and hugged him tight, as she cried out of happiness. She was so glad he was alright. Jake smiled as he held her, while the others watched happily...except for Brock, who couldn't help but sulk.

             Mewtwo and Mattias looked at each other, and both had the same idea in mind. The two psychic pokemon teleported everyone, but Jake and Autumn from sight. Jake and Autumn figured that they were giving them some time alone.

            "Jake-kun...I really meant what I said," Autumn said, while wiping away her tears, "I've been wanting to tell you for so long...Up until now, I couldn't find the courage or the right words or the right time....I love you, Jake-kun."

            Jake smiled warmly and affectionately at her as he stroked her cheek.

            "I've loved you ever since we were kids," Jake said, "With each passing day, I grew to love you more and more. You mean so much to me, Autumn."

             "Jake-kun," Autumn breathed, misty eyed.

            Autumn then wrapped her arms over Jake's shoulders, while standing on her tip toes, as Jake held her close, leaned forward, and kissed her for the first time. The couple loved each other so much, and this was one of the greatest moments of their entire lives, finally being together. As it turned out, Mewtwo and Mattias only teleported themselves and the others to behind the trees, where the couple couldn't see them, so that they could witness the moment everyone had been anticipating. Brock however, for his sake, was teleported back to the house.

              Ash, May, YuuMii, and Blaine were quietly dancing with joy behind the trees, saying silent cheers, while the others tried to contain their laughter at their silliness. After Jake and Autumn ended their kiss, they stared lovingly into each others' eyes, as Autumn gently placed her hand on Jake's cheek, while he stroked her hair. After a while, they both smiled out of humor and in a knowing way.

              "Alright guys, you can come out now," Jake called.

              "How'd you know we were here?" Ash asked, poking his head out from behind the tree.

               "We can still sense the pokemon's presences, as well as BiiMii and YuuMii," Autumn explained.

                The others came out of hiding, and went over to congratulate the couple, as well as to express how glad they were that Jake was alright. Ash gave his brother a big hug, then hugged Autumn to show how glad he was that she and Jake were now together.

                "So when's the wedding?" YuuMii asked, with a grin.

               Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

                "I think we should date a little while before we make that arrangement," Autumn giggled, which Jake agreed with.

                Everyone soon went back to house, while Autumn and Jake sat alone on the porch together, cuddling. They were so happy to finally be together as a couple, and would cherish every moment together.
It's finally happened. :aww:

Congratulations!!!:D Seriously, Giovanni can take his vile expectations and freakin' shove it up his ass; Jake is and never will be ANYTHING like him. Also, that pure untainted form of power that conjures up from wonderful things like love, I hope to know what that feels like someday. Though I'm probably too weak to even deserve such power....Oh well, nonetheless Excellent job on this chapter Autumn.:peace::D
