Me: What up, folks. Well this is it: the last chapter of the story. Again, I'm sorry I'm ending the story like this but I want to focus on some of my other stories

Others come in

Amy: Are you all right, NITRO? You don't look so happy.

Me: Of course I'm not happy. This is the last chapter of one of my most popular stories. How do you expect me to end the story and not feel miserable about it?

Joey: We don't. But that doesn't mean you can infect the rest of us with that Debbie Downer bug you have.

Castor: Yeah. Like you said, this is one of your more popular stories. You should be proud of what you accomplished, despite what losers like that Flandre person say.

Me: I guess. Oh well, it can't be helped. This is the last chapter so for the final time: Enjoy.

"Joey… come on man, you can't give up on me now," Luca sobbed. "You just have to come back. I can't stand losing anyone close to me again".

How Joey had managed to stop Mewtwo from spiriting away the Sapphire of Trust wound up being anyone's guess. However, glad that the gem was still safe, they had a more pressing emergency on their hands as the transformed human was still unconscious by the time Ninetails and the others had managed to carry him back to the guild. Luca had been crying nonstop since they got back, and seeing as Joey was the only person he looked up to anymore, it was not hard to see why.

"Joey, you have to stay calm," Celebi said. "I know he was a big brother to you but crying over him isn't going to bring him back to life".

Luca didn't seem to care. He was so upset about Joey's condition that it was impossible for anyone to convince him to leave his side. Then again, it did kinda hurt everyone that Joey, they guy who could take everyone out without so much as breaking a sweat, was going down. Everyone in the whole town had figured that the kid was the toughest SOB in the entire world, making his death all the more painful if it actually happened.

"Out of the way! Out of the way!"

A Plusle and Minun made their way down into the guild. They immediately made their way over to where Joey was and just knocked Luca out of the way. They then began charging up the ends of their cheeks.

"Clear!" they both yelled.

With that, they brought their tails down on where Joey's heart would be. In seconds, Joey immediately upright, his fur standing out all over the place from the excess static the two left behind.

"I'm up-I'm fully up!" he said, the speed of his voice making it seem like he was being powered by the energizer bunny.

The guild let out a collective sigh of relief. They then crowded around the still delirious kid and began expressing their joy in the fact that he was still alive. Luca in particular was particularly vocal about it, going so far as to hug the guy at the risk of being zapped by the residual static. All the while, Joey was slightly surprised about what was going on.

"Uh… thanks guy," he said.

"Don't ever scare me like that again," Luca cried. "I thought you were gone. Please promise me you'll never do anything like that again".

"Luca…" Joey said.

"Promise me…" Luca pleaded.

"Ok, Luca… I promise," Joey said. "Now I just need to find out what happened after Mewtwo flashed me with that sapphire. I don't know what came over me".

"I'd say about 20,000 volts there, Medusa," Murkrow quibed.

Everyone except Joey laughed at that joke. Joey, who for obvious reasons was not impressed, immediately began matting down the charged fur that was still sticking up.

"Ha ha, very funny you guys," he said. "Next time tell me I look ridiculous before you just straight up make fun of it".

"I'm sorry…" Murkrow wheezed. "I know that was nothing to laugh about. But the timing was just too perfect to resist".

"Well, nobody knows how Mewtwo was stopped," Grovyle said. "As far as were aware, Mewtwo was already defeated by the time everyone came too. But on the plus side, we did manage to get all the gems back and are currently sending them back to their respective locations".

"What about Mewtwo?" Joey asked.

"Oh you don't have to worry about him," Celebi said. "Dusknoir is currently interrogating him. It won't be long before he finds out what Mewtwo was planning, no matter how strong the guy is".

"Well that's good to know." Joey said as he slowly got to his feet.

As he was slowly getting his legs back under him, Dusknoir and two of the Sableye dropped down from the ladder.

"Ah, we were just talking about you," Celebi said. "How goes interrogating Mewtwo?"

"Not well," Dusknoir said. "He keeps saying he's only here to rescue his friend and take him back to his own world. I can understand that Joey might be from a different world, but this guy? I don't know what to make of this anymore".

"That obviously just a fabrication," Joey said. "There is no way this guy can be from some other world. It just a story he's trying to use to keep us from trying to use to keep us from finding out what he's really up to. You have to keep on the guy until he comes clean with the real story".

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Joey," Dusknoir said. "It should be too difficult to interrogate Mewtwo now".

Unfortunately, 'interrogate Mewtwo' was the least of Dusknoir's worries right now. Immediately after he said this, the most horrible smell imaginable filled the room. Everyone began coughing and began trying to get out of the room. Luca and Joey were the last to leave the room because of the rush to escape, but before they could climb up the ladder to the entrance, they were knocked out and that was the last thing they knew.

Nerio: Uh, NITRO… why'd you add that last bit of action when this is the last chapter of the story?

Me: It's called the ending action teaser. This is what the cool authors do when they want to set up a sequel.

Nerio: OK… well, until NITRO here decided to start this sequel…

All: Catch you later, Dudes!
