End of the Line
 
 Jake thought for a bit, then he turned to me. "Well, ask Kyorui if he wants to visit his family for a while. Do you know them?" I told him I hadn't. "Cool, get to know the family. I'm gonna take Frank back home and stay there for a while. My Dad may need some help with some stuff." I thought it was sound thinking. I reminded him to contact me if he needed anything, and he told me the same. Then, Jake left. I went back to Mt. Moon's Poke Center, and decided it would be a good idea to give Kyorui my present soon. I went in and suggested this idea to him. "Well, my parents never took any notice of me, remember, so this may be short." I nodded, and we left. Minutes later, we arrived at Kyorui's old house, and Kyorui called inside.
 "Mom! Dad! Come out, there's someone I'd like for you to meet!" "Kyorui! We missed you so much!" Came the voices from inside. "Now, what is it you want us to se..." They stepped out of the cave at that moment, Two Riachus, and immediately turned tail and went back inside, screaming Apocolypse and stuff like that. Just then, Sparky made a timely exit of the cave and welcomed us. "Hey Kyorui, it's the strangest thing. Apparently, mom and dad were being controlled by someone for all this time. I found these in their ears." He held up two electrical devices. "Rotom. So, he knew what was going to happen, and made plans well in advance for it." "What was that?" the two Riachus and Pikachus said at the same time. "Nothing at all. Listen, I'm not dangerous or anything. In fact, your son and I are roomates in a cave that rests just inside of Mt. Moon. I figured it'd be best to bring him back here for a visit. Now, if you will all excuse me, I need to take a walk." "I'll come with you." Kyorui said, "I haven't gathered any supper yet."
 As we walked, I told him what I had observed. Then I told him to go back to his brother's home for a bit, so I could have some alone time to think. He started walking away, and just then, I felt something like a curtain fall over me. Then, my arm moved, against my will. Just then, I was forced to fly. I started to think, and it hit me. It was Giratina! I decided that as soon as he started talking to me, I would let him have a piece of my mind. Just as I thought, a voice rang through my head. "Hey Nate, What have you been doing these past few hours?" I stopped in disbelief, for the voice wasn't Giratina's." Jake? What are you doing?" He told me what he wanted of me, then released his control on me. Just then, Rotom appeared to tell me of the horrible news. "Nate, Jake plans on capturing prisoners for a ransom. He wants you, plain and simple. I have an idea to stop him, but I need to know if he has something first. Go where he said to meet him, and tell me if he has a black dagger with him. If he does, this isn't going to end well.
 I waited and the time approached. I didn't alert the others, and went back to the Poke Center to wait. At 11:55 p.m. I walked to the cave's entrance to wait. At midnight exactly, I walked in. As to not throw him into suspicion, I went in and acted like I would have if I hadn't known a thing, trying to untie my friends and family, as well as wake them up. Finally, I went to slash at the rope, hoping that it would bring Jake out of hiding. "Nate!" I heard him yell as he stepped out of the shadows. I didn't know what to expect of Jake, so the next part to play was easy. "Jake? What the hell happened to you? Why is everyone tied up here?" I got ready to fight, hoping that if he had the dagger Rotom told me about, he would branish it. "You name it. You just may get it." "Are you sure?" "Hey, I'm a dragon of my word." He exhaled and walked up to me. "I want death to all humans and Arceus." I looked him over, trying to get a glimpse of the dagger. "If I refuse to help?" "They die, and I do it by myself. It may take a bit longer, but a job well done is better that not getting it done at all, I suppose." I paced, and saw the dagger. "Time, give me more time." "As you wish. Twenty-four hours. Until then, I'll just take these with me." He went over to them, and then they all disapeared.
 "Rotom, he has it. What do we have to do?" There where only two people who knew how to stop that dagger, now there is just one. Me, I know. You'll have to use the Shadow Amulet to wish for the blade to become dull, and therefore destroy its abilities and powers. Unfortunetly, Jake had foresight to disable the Amulet. I can only give you one wish, so you have to make it count. In return, I need you to give me amnesia, so I can't remember how to sharpen the blade. The only way is also the Amulet." I thanked him, and clubed him in the head so hard that he didn't even remember his own name for about five minutes. After he had, he returned to his home: an old house he called "The Old Chateau." I had what I needed, and it took me the rest of the twenty-four hour peroid to make it to Turnback Cave. "Nate, have you come to give me your answer?" "Yeah, Jake, I have. Here it is. I wish that the Dagger of the Dead would go dull and become useless!" Just as Jake was about to tell me that it wouldn't work, the blade dropped to the floor, a regular old dagger.
 "Now," I told him, "We play by my rules."
