Hello everyone, this is The Godfeather here, and I have another fic for you. I figured that I'll write a fic detailing the life of Jonathan, the rogue rival of Vladimir and Natasha, between his disqualification at the Tandor Championship, and his quest for vengeance in Reborn. It will be based off of Pokémon Rejuvenation, the excellent sister-game of Pokémon Reborn, created by SuperJanBro. I'm working on this fic alongside my trusted friend, and he suggested that I make the protagonist as edgy as possible, which considering how dark Rejuvenation is, wouldn't be too out of place.
In terms of Pokémon, I figured that Jonathan would keep the Pokémon he obtained in Tandor, as a shout out to the developers of the excellent Pokémon Uranium fangame. And while it might come across as overpowered, I'll make sure that his journey in Aevium is anything but easy. As for rating, it shall be M, due to the aforementioned darkness, as well as violence, language, and maybe a lemon or two. Speaking of which, I'm unsure whether to pair Jonathan with Valarie or Melia, but I'll figure it out, as I get into the story.
So without further ado, here's Pokémon Rejuvenation: The Seeds of Vengeance.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon Rejuvenation, it is the property of its creator, SuperJanBro.
Prologue:
Decades ago…
A cute little girl, no older than eight, was gazing upon a statue depicting the Disaster Pokémon, Absol. She had crystal blue eyes, and strawberry blonde hair that reached her shoulders. Her outfit consisted of a black, long-sleeved dress that had frills on the hemline, as well as a big white bow on the back. She also wore black loafers and matching coloured socks.
The area around the girl and the statue was some sort of miniature river, filled with sparkling blue water. Further into the room was a second Absol statue, as well as a Gardevoir statue, both standing on a piece of earth, surrounded by the water.
"Marianette." A woman's voice called out. "It's time for you to come out now. Your father wishes to see you."
"Okay." Marianette chirped, as she began walking away from the first Absol statue, and past the other two statues. She then left the room, and entered a long corridor, which had a tall bookcase, filled to the brim with various novels, encyclopaedias, and the occasional horror book. Down the hall were a pair of maids standing in front of a door, possibly as a deterrent for Marianette. All of a sudden, there was a small tremor, causing a few books to fall off the bookcase.
'What's going on…?' Marianette thought to herself, as she walked past the bookcase, and a statue of the Legendary Pokémon Arceus. She continued walking down the ominous corridor, until she entered the room at the end of the hallway.
The room sent chills down the little girl's back; the same sparkling water that comforted her before now felt like an imposing border, trapping her in the room. On the edges of the room were close to a dozen maids, all as silent as a moonless night. An additional maid was lying down on a stone altar, an eerily calm look on her face. Standing over the altar was a tall man, with short black hair, and a greyish black suit.
"Wh-what is this place? Where is mommy?" Marianette asked the man, who happened to be her father.
"Mommy is sleeping with the lord now, my sweet child…" the man replied in a chilling tone of voice, his face not showing any sort of emotion whatsoever. "I'm sorry that things had to come to this, but I no longer have any choice. Maid, servant of the lord and I. Are you ready to meet your fate?" he coldly asked the maid on the altar.
"I was born ready to fulfil the task, my master. It is time for me to see the lord with my eyes." The maid replied, having accepted her fate long ago.
"A thoughtful answer…" the man replied, before he stretched out his arms over the altar. "Arceus! Capremdum Garuganisu oru'ma'!" he and the maids chanted over and over again, as a mysterious glow enveloped the maid on the altar. Marianette was horrified at what she's witnessing right now. Why was her father doing such things? What had he done with her mother? Eventually, the glow completely enveloped the maid and began to lift her off the altar.
"A'd seberus L'orufogeo!" the man cried out, as the light began to glow harshly, causing Marianette to cover her eyes. Once it had died out, Marianette opened her eyes, and was horrified to discover that the maid had vanished into thin air.
"Wah! Where did she go?!" Marianette cried out, her body racked with a gripping sense of dread and disbelief.
"She is gone, and will be forever. But do not fret, she's more alive than she's ever been while she walked the planet." Marianette's father attempted to calm her down, yet it did nothing to faze her. With an emotionless look, her father said the six words that will haunt her for the rest of her life. "Now Marianette. It is your turn."
"No! I don't want to!" She cried out, and attempted to run away, only to get captured by two of the maids, who proceeded to drag her to the altar, and proceeded to tie her down, to prevent her from escaping.
"Please don't do this daddy! I don't want this! I DON'T WANT THIS AT ALL!" Marianette cried out, tears coming out of her eyes and falling down her cheeks.
"Enough, Marianette! Go with some dignity at least!" her father barked at her, before stretching his arms over the altar again. "Arceus! Capremdum Garuganisu oru'ma'!" he and the maids chanted, as Marianette felt an unusual tingling throughout her body.
'Please, somebody help me…' She thought to herself, as her father and his maids continued their chant to appease the Legendary Arceus. That would be the last thing she would think of, as the world around her faded into darkness.
30 years later: S.S Oceana: Trainer Registration Room
The monitor screen flickered to life, showing a cute teenage girl of average height and weight. She had chocolate brown eyes, the right one covered by a bang of black and red hair, which reached her shoulders. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt, with a black coat on top, as well as a black baseball cap, with a red Pokéball printed on the front. Since the monitor only showed the top half of her body, it was impossible to determine what type of pants she was wearing.
"Greetings trainer, my name is Amaria!" the lady smiled. "I'm a scout for the Aevium League. It's my duty to find tough trainers and encourage them to participate in the League."
"Uh-Huh" the person on the other end of the monitor grunted, this person being a teenage male.
"Now then, before we begin, how about a little history lesson?" Amaria smiled, causing the teenager to groan internally. "The Aevium region is famous for its wide variety of Pokémon, as well as its challenging league, which can only be compared to that of the Reborn Region. One of Aevium's other strong points is that its community is tightly knit, despite being separated over three islands, due to an incident a long time ago. And part of what made that community strong is Pokémon battling." Amaria went into detail about the history of the Aevium Region, which the teenager found mildly interesting.
"Alright, we'll need to register you into our database." Amaria noted, as she began typing on a keyboard that was on her desk. "By the way, there are 18 Gym Leaders in the region. You'll need all 18 badges if you want to participate in the League. Additionally, the Pokémon here may or may not respond to your calls, depending on what level they are, and how many badges you have."
'How interesting…not that I'll need to worry about it.' The boy thought to himself.
"Now then, what gender are you?" Amaria asked. "You can choose from Male, Female, Both, Non-Binary, or Transgender."
"I'm a regular male, thank you very much." The boy replied, as Amaria typed up the info on her computer.
"Alright, now what is your name?" Amaria asked.
"It's Jonathan." The now named teenager replied. "But you can just call me John for short." Amaria then typed it up onto her computer, before pressing the enter button on her keyboard. A satisfied look on her face appeared, as a quick *ding* signified that the registration went through.
"Congratulations, you're officially registered for the Aevium League!" Amaria smiled. "Once the S.S Oceana docks, meet me at the Gearen Laboratory, where you'll receive the essentials needed for you to do great things. Happy training!" Amaria signed off, closing the two-way speaker. Jonathan then placed the headphones back onto the desk, and walked up to the lady at the front counter.
"Are you done with your registration?" She asked, in a friendly yet slightly tired tone of voice.
"Obviously…" Jonathan muttered under his breath, giving her a quick nod.
"Alright then, I'll print off your Trainer's License. This should only take a few seconds." The lady called out, walking up to the printer. The machine then printed out a bright blue trainer card, much to Jonathan's displeasure.
"Here you go, Mr. Jonathan." The lady handed him the card, as he nodded in appreciation. "May I ask why you're participating in the Aevium League?"
"…Revenge." Was all Jonathan said, as he turned around and left the room, briefly confusing the lady, before another trainer went up to the counter to get their License.
Once out of the Registration Room, Jonathan walked back to his room, only to get stopped by his mother. She was a gorgeous young woman, with long pink hair, and bright green eyes. She wore a white wide-brimmed hat, and a flowing white dress. She was the famous Pokémon Idol Nancy, whose Fairy Type Pokémon dazzled the stage in Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. Nancy walked up to Jonathan and hugged him tightly.
"Oh my boy's growing up before my eyes!" she smiled, squeezing him tightly.
"Urgh mom, don't squeeze me so tight!" Jonathan complained, as Nancy loosened her grip on her son.
"I'm sorry, but can you blame me? My son's finally able to participate in another League Challenge, ever since that faithful day…" she said, her voice lowering a bit at the end.
"Yes, and I need to get stronger, so I can avenge myself over what happened that day." Jonathan replied.
"There's no need to worry about revenge, you can just enjoy your time here." Nancy said, before taking him by the hand, and showing him a set of double doors. "Here's where the banquet's going to be held. Make sure to freshen up before attended."
"I will mom." Jonathan replied, resisting the urge to groan.
"I've got some things to do, so I'll see you later." Nancy replied, as she began walking down the corridor, before turning to face her son. "And please Jonathan, get out of that ridiculous outfit and try to make some friends." She called out, before she continued her walk. Jonathan then stormed to his room and closed the door.
"Make some friends? Doesn't she know what happened the last time I tried to make some friends?!" he growled at himself, before facing the mirror. Jonathan had short black hair, bright green eyes, fair skin, and was of average build. His outfit consisted of a black t-shirt and jeans, with a black trench coat over his body, black business shoes, a black fedora, and a blood red scarf. People have mocked him for looking like an 'edgelord', but he couldn't give a damn what they thought of him.
His mind then wandered to the day of his betrayal, and the former friends whom he wants revenge on. Natasha, the beautiful and intelligent young lady, who was a prodigy in Pokémon battles, and Vladimir, the friendly teenage boy, whom followed Natasha's orders willingly, due to his stupid crush on her. He began thinking of ways to make the duo suffer for his betrayal, relishing in the thought. Just then, one of his Pokéballs popped out, revealing a rather unusual and rare Pokémon.
The Pokémon was coloured black, red and yellow, and an elongated, serpentine body covered in scales and feathers, as well as a pair of white wings on its body. It has three birdlike legs, two at the back, and one at the front; each of its feet has four toes tipped with red talons, as well as a fluffy tail that resembled a storm cloud. It had two lightning bolt like horns on its head, and a magnificent moustache on its face. It was a Yatagaryu, a rare Pokémon from the Tandor region that only a few trainers have ever seen. It cried out rather sadly, as Jonathan petted its head.
"Don't blame yourself for what happened that time." He told it, a small smile on his face. "We had no idea that we were going to get betrayed." Jonathan then returned Yatagaryu to its Pokéball, before straightening up his scarf and fedora and exiting his room. A Youngster whom Jonathan saw registering alongside him acted like he got a paper cut on his hand.
"Ow, the edge!" he mocked, as he and a few other trainers chuckled at the joke.
"Whatever asshole." Jonathan retorted, as he walked off to the upstairs bar. The now agitated Youngster ran up to Jonathan and grabbed his shoulder, only for the latter to punch him in the face, breaking his nose. Jonathan stared at the now crying boy for a few seconds, before huffing to himself and resumed his walk.
Upstairs bar
Jonathan got up the stairs and surveyed the spacious room, as far as the eye could see, there were people sitting down on tables, happily chatting amongst each other, while drinking their preferred beverages. In front of Jonathan was a grand piano, with a Jigglypuff on the top, humming alongside the harmonic melody being played by the piano lady. The lady was very pretty, with her long, light brown hair, and shiny green eyes. Her outfit consisted of a white tuxedo, with matching white loafers. Another notable feature was that the lady had a rather well-endowed chest, which got her some attention from some slimy perverts. Once she had finished the song, she got up and took a bow, with everyone including Jonathan applauding her.
"There, how did you like my song?" she asked, with everyone calling out praise for her, as well as the aforementioned perverts cat-calling her. "Oh you all absolutely flatter us, isn't that right Jigglypuff?"
"Jiggly!" the small pink Pokémon cried out in happiness. Just then, one of the perverts got up off his seat and swaggered over to the piano. His shirt was unbuttoned and untidy, and his pants were quite dirty.
"Hey baby…you've got a well-endowed chest, you know that?" the man slurred, his breath reeking of alcohol.
"Um…I don't know what to say about that…?" the piano lady chuckled uneasily.
"Why don't I give you a good luck squeeze?" the pervert leered, his eyes locked onto her chest.
"Can you please leave me alone?" the lady requested. "You're making me uncomfortable."
"Aw come on darlin', just a little squeeze…" the pervert begged. At this point, Jonathan had enough of the charlatan and stormed up to the man, pulling him away from the piano.
"Hey, what's your problem?!" the pervert growled. Jonathan responded by punching the man in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. He then grabbed the pervert's hair and slammed his face into a wall, knocking the pervert out, and leaving a blood trail down the wall.
"Are you alright, m'lady?" Jonathan asks, tipping his fedora.
"Yes I am, thank you very much!" the piano lady smiled. "I'm Louise, and as you can see, I play the piano."
"I'm Jonathan." He replied quickly. "Do you get losers like that guy every time you play?"
"Well I wouldn't say all the time, but on rare occasions, I get men trying to grab me. I tell them that I'm not looking for a partner, but all they want is a quick fling." Louise informed him.
"I'm glad that you're alright." Jonathan told her. "If that creep, or someone else is giving you trouble, let me know."
"Alright then." Louise smiled, as she flicked through the page of her music book. "Consider this song a treat from me, sugar." With a quick wave of her fingers, Louise began playing the piano, the music soothing the quick burst of anger that the pervert had ignited in Jonathan's heart. Handing a monetary tip to Louise as a sign of appreciation, Jonathan then made his way to the bar, to order himself an apple cider. Paying for the drink, Jonathan made his way to the captain's quarters, as he was a family friend of Nancy. The young man then knocked on the door, and was told that he could come in.
Jonathan then entered the room, and sat down on the couch opposite of the Ship Captain, Augustus. Captain Augustus was a fairly old man, with a magnificent moustache on his face. He wore a White Sea Captains outfit, which was decorated with several shiny medals that were awarded to him for his long time service.
"Ah, you must be Nancy's child." Augustus sighed happily, as he got up and inspected the painting behind his desk. "I am Captain Augustus."
"I'm Jonathan." The young man replied.
"Tell me, are you enjoying your trip?" Augustus asked.
"Well I knocked out some pathetic loser, who was harassing Louise." Jonathan answered.
"The piano lady?" Augustus pressed, with Jonathan nodding in response. "I'll go talk to her about it later, so we can identify and punish the man responsible."
"That'll be appreciated." Jonathan said, crossing his arms over his chest.
Augustus then walked back to the couch he was on before, and sat down again. "Nancy told me that you wanted to be a trainer, correct?"
"Well I am a trainer already, but an incident happened in the past, that I'm not comfortable with sharing." Jonathan commented.
"I see…" Augustus mused, his hand on his chin, before he cleared his throat. "How about I explain some of the rules for the Aevium League?"
"I'd like that, thank you very much." Jonathan replied.
"Alright then. The Aevium League is far different from your usual league challenge. For one thing, the leaders have a powerful team that requires different strategies to counter." Augustus explained. "Also, there is an Elite 8, as opposed to an Elite 4."
"Elite 8?! Are you shitting me?!" Jonathan spluttered, his eyes widened in shock.
"Yes; I take it by your language that you find it rather hard to believe." Augustus deduced, as a bell chimed in his office. "Ah, we're near the Gearen Docks. The banquet's about to begin!"
"I need to hurry and meet my mother by the door. Catch you later." Jonathan called out, as he waved at Augustus and exited the captain's quarters.
Five minutes later
Jonathan was waiting at the doors, when his mother walked up to him, and embraced him in a hug.
"Hey sweetie." Nancy smiled. "Did you make any friends on the cruise?"
"Well I made friends with the piano lady, Louise." Jonathan replied. "Of course, I had to beat up some pervert harassing her."
"Just once, I'd like for you to solve a conflict, without assaulting somebody." Nancy sighed. "Well no time to dawdle, we've got to get to our seat." The duo then entered the grand hall, and were amazed by how beautiful the room was. The walls were decorated with brightly coloured streamers, and all the tables were neatly presented. A waitress walked up to the pair, a list of reservations in hand.
"Oh, Lady Nancy and Jonathan?" The waitress called out. "Your table's to the upper left, second table."
"Thank you." Nancy thanked the waitress, as her and Jonathan walked to their designated table, and proceeded to sit on the chairs. As they were reading the menu, Captain Augustus walked up onto the stage and turn on the microphone.
"May I have your attention please?" He spoke into the microphone, as everyone turned to face the stage. "It is with great pleasure that I host the 48th annual Grand Finale Banquet. You know when I was young, I'd never thought that I'll be standing here before you today. It is quite an honour indeed, but I'll be saving you the trouble of listening to me ramble on about my life story."
"Phew, I'd thought that he'd ramble on for ever." Nancy whispered to her son.
"Now then, to present to you the head chef, Ramon." Augustus spoke, as he handed the microphone to a rather burly chef.
"Ya, iz very easy to do. You take spoon n' fork and devour to ya hearts content, eh." Ramon spoke in a thick French accent. "What are ze waiting for? EAT!"
"Finally…" Jonathan sighed, as he was about to eat, however a lady came running into the room, a frightened look on her face.
"TROLL! There's a troll in the dungeon!" she cried out.
"What the fuck?! You interrupted my eating time, just so you can spout out some garbage from your mouth?!" Jonathan growled at the lady. "There's no dungeon on this ship."
"Well that's because I'm the troll…" the lady replied, a sinister smirk on her face, as she took of her dress, revealing that she was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, with matching black jeans, topped off with a black cap. Her uniform had a red mark depicting an 'X', as if it were her organisation's logo. "I also planted a bomb in the dungeon. Thought you'd like to know." As the grunt got out a remote from her uniform pocket, Nancy turned to a lady sitting on the table beside her.
"Get Jonathan out of here!" Nancy whispered, as the lady nodded to her request. The grunt then pressed the button on her remote, detonating the bomb. Jonathan shielded his eyes, as the room glowed harshly, and a large 'boom' rocked the boat.
?
"Aggh…what the fuck was that?!" Jonathan groaned, as he got up and surveyed the room around him, realising that he somehow winded up in the captains quarters. The walls had large cracks in them, the books had fallen off the shelves, and there was dust and debris everywhere. A look of panic appeared on the young man's face, as a sudden realisation dawned on him.
"My room!" he cried out, as he ran out the captain's quarters as fast as he could. However, when he left the room, he was surprised to see a blood red tentacle burst from the wooden floor of the hallway. Realising that he still had his cane sword with him, he unsheathed it and cut the tentacle in a single slash. An unearthly shriek rocked the boat, as the severed tentacle withdrew back down from where it came from. Jonathan ran out the hallway, and into the upstairs bar that he had visited earlier.
The bar was absolutely devastated, with shattered glasses and bottles everywhere. There was also half-eaten meals strewn across the places, including the walls. But what sent a chill down Jonathan's spine was an unconscious sailor, who was wrapped up by another one of those creepy tentacles. A cry for help got Jonathan out of his stupor, as he ran to the source, and realised that it was the piano lady, watching a Youngster getting, dragged down a hole by one of the tentacles.
"Louise?" Jonathan called out, as he ran up to her. "Are you alright?"
"Not really, sugar." Louise replied, her body shivering in fear.
"Did you hear the explosion from earlier?!" Jonathan asked.
"Yeah, it detonated on the bottom level of the ship." Louise said. "Your mother could still be in the banquet room."
"Thanks!" Jonathan replied, as he began running through the room, before he turned to Louise. "You wanna come along with me?"
"Thanks for the offer, but I can't. I think these tentacles can hear our movements." Louise answered. "Travelling together would only blow our cover."
"Alright then, stay safe Louise." Jonathan said, as he exited the room. He had arrived on the upper balcony, and witnessed a scene out of a horror movie. Strewn on the lower deck were several dead bodies, some of them nothing more than piles of unrecognisable gore. Amidst the slaughter were several people getting ensnared by the tentacles. Jonathan took a closer look at the scene, and reeled back in shock; one of the sailors was getting attacked by what looked like a Deoxys in its Attack Forme. Without hesitation, Jonathan left the balcony and quickly ran towards his room.
A few minutes later, he opened the door to his room, and breathed a sigh of relief, as it appears to have been barely touched by the explosion. Jonathan reached his hands under his bed, and pulled out a shoe box, filled with all his Pokémon friends that he met during his time in Tandor. Placing the box in his bag, he rummaged through one of his draws, and breathed another sign of relief, as his beloved Special edition of Gym Leader Monthly was still in mint condition.
Gym Leader Monthly was one of Jonathan's favourite magazines for one specific reason, the photo shoots. Each issue came with some sexual photo shoots of a female gym leader/Elite 4 member, from one of the various regions that are a part of the Official Pokémon League Challenge. When the magazine announced its retirement, they published 500 copies of a special edition, which contained all of the photo shoots throughout the magazines history. Jonathan had to spend a fair bit of money, and pull some strings in order to get his copy, and it was worth every dollar spent. The shoots ranged from Kanto to Sinnoh to Hoenn and even other regions such as Tandor, Reborn and Aevium. In fact, one of Jonathan's reasons for joining the Aevium league was to meet some of the women whom he saw in the magazine. The young man then remembered why he came down her to begin with.
"Aw crap, Mom!" Jonathan cried out, as he put the thick magazine in his bag alongside his Pokémon, and ran out his room, and into the banquet hall. His eyes widened in fear, as he saw a large gaping hole in the floor. All over the room was bits of flesh and bone from some unfortunate passengers, as well as bits of food strewn all over the place. To his left was a horrified Captain Augustus, as he saw a tentacle ensnare Ramon from earlier.
"Everything…everything is ruined." Augustus spoke in a petrified voice, before turning to face Jonathan. "How could this happen?"
"I…I don't know…" Jonathan began, as panic gripped his body. "Where's my mom?!"
"She's…she's still alive I think." Augustus replied, a little unsure of himself. "That large hole was created by the explosion from earlier. Your mother went down there to extinguish the flames and take out any other threats that may be down there."
"I'm going down there!" Jonathan declared. "I won't leave my mom behind."
"Nothing I say is going to convince you otherwise, so go on ahead." Augustus said, as he sighed. "There's a set of stairs that will take you down to the storage area, where the bomb was detonated. Usually the doors are locked, but I doubt there would even be fragments left, after the explosion went off."
"Alright then, stay safe." Jonathan called out, as he ran out the banquet hall, and proceeded to run through the halls, and down the stairs into the lower levels. He then entered the storage room and was relieved to see his mother safe and sound.
"MOM!" Jonathan cried out, as he embraced the woman, a few tears falling from his eyes. "I'm so glad to see you."
"And I'm glad to see you as well sweetie." Nancy replied, returning the hug. "Thank Arceus you didn't end up like some of the other passengers I saw."
"Awwww, ain't this just the sweetest reunion…" a mysterious voice called out, dripping in sickly sweet sarcasm. Nancy and Jonathan turned to a large hole in the wall, and saw a shady looking middle-aged lady. She had short purple hair, and wore black shades over her eyes. Her uniform consisted of a grey short-sleeved dress, and a pair of knee high red boots.
"I assume you're to blame for all that's happened here…" Nancy deduced.
"Irrelevant!" the mysterious woman barked, as a pair of Deoxys came out from the hole in the wall and stood side-by-side the woman. "What matters is your apprehension."
"Did you blow up the entire ship, just to kidnap my mom?!" Jonathan balked.
"Correct, though I wasn't talking to you." the purple haired lady retorted.
"Well then what was the point of attacking everyone then?! Why couldn't you have just gone after me?!" Nancy demanded answers, enraged by the callous actions of the person standing in front of her.
"Simple, we didn't want any witnesses." The lady answered. "Though truth be told, our original plan was to take you during the break of night, but we didn't want to risk running into…her. So we tried take out two birds with one stone, and from the look of things, it's worked."
'She paused when talking about her; who is she referring to when she says her?' Jonathan thought to himself.
"I've heard enough from you! Sylveon, use Moonblast!" Nancy called out, as her Sylveon began charging up lunar energy.
"Pathetic. Deoxys, use Flash Cannon." The purple haired lady ordered, as the Deoxys on her left charged up a silver ball of energy, before launching it at the Sylveon. The Sylveon cried out in pain as it was sent flying into a wall, knocked out from the attack.
"No, Sylveon!" Nancy cried out, as she ran to her fainted Pokémon to check if it was alright. "Return darling…" she returned her Pokémon, before walking up to the antagonistic woman.
"I understand, I'll go with you…" Nancy accepted her fate, as she turned to face Jonathan, a look of defeat on her face. "Don't worry about me, just go."
"But mom, I can't leave you behind!" Jonathan cried out, his face struck with fear and sadness.
"Believe in me. Believe in yourself!" Nancy called out, as a pair of tentacles ensnared her.
"MOM!" Jonathan cried out, as he glared at the purple haired woman. "Let my mom go now!"
"Awww…I'd be crying if I had a properly functioned non-physical heart…" the lady crooned, a sneer on her face. "But I think it's time to deal with you…"
"Jonathan! Don't worry about me, just go! Keep running and don't look back!" Nancy shouted at the top of her lungs. With tears in his eyes, Jonathan nodded and ran as fast as he could. Once he got up the stairs, he was confronted by a very angry Deoxys. Jonathan's eyes noticed a scar on one of its tentacle, realising that this was the Deoxys whom he attacked earlier. The Deoxys moved closer and closer, eager to seek retribution on the trainer whom attacked him.
"Look out below!" a familiar voice call out, as both Jonathan and the Deoxys looked at the ceiling. A few seconds later, a grand piano fell down the hole, crushing the Deoxys. The beast shrieked in pain for a few seconds, before everything went silent, as what Jonathan presumed to be blood pooled from under the piano. Jonathan looked up the hole and saw Louise looking down at him.
"The sound of a broken piano. I dedicate this song to you…" Louise said, as she looked up from the hole and noticed several Deoxys converging on her. "Get out of here sugar, because my time's up…"
All Jonathan heard was a cry of fear, as the Deoxys surrounded and captured Louise. He then walked down the hall, feeling miserable that he failed at saving Captain Augustus, failed at saving Louise, and failed at saving his very own mother. He then walked onto the lower deck, and noticed a second person, this time a man wearing a dark grey shirt and pants, as well as a grey trench coat. At the same time, the purple haired lady from earlier walked up from behind Jonathan, as three more Deoxys appeared and surrounded Jonathan.
"Surrounded are we?" the lady sneered, as the Deoxys, moved closer and closer. "Now be a good boy and surrender to us. There's no use fighting back."
"Why don't you go fuck yourself?!" Jonathan snarled, his fists clenched in rage.
"Oh my, defiant to the end?" the sinister man jeered. "Deoxys, destroy this punk!" The Deoxys converged even closer to Jonathan, when the shrill cry of a Talonflame startled them.
"What was that?!" the purple haired lady cried out, as the man looked all over the sky to see where the source came from.
"Now Talonflame, use Flare Blitz!" a woman cried out, as the Talonflame cloaked itself in fire and charged at the Deoxys, as the lady grabbed onto Jonathan's arm. The Talonflame defeated the Deoxys, as the lady hoisted Jonathan up and flew off to safety. The evil man and woman looked on from the boat, their faces a mixture of rage and confusion.
"Thanks for saving me." Jonathan thanked the lady. "But why'd you save me?"
"I'll explain when we get to land." The lady replied, as the duo flew to the Gearen Docks.
Quite a way to start things off, eh? Get ready to buckle up, because things are only going to get more intense later on.
