((Quick Recap: Cecil enslaved Regirock, Regice and Registeel and had them attack Malik and his friends. Malik is currently being held on Cecil's aircraft as his prisoner while Tyler, Taylor, Brianna and Mawile are about to be taken out))
I was being dragged through the halls by Machamp
"Let me go!" I demanded
Machamp threw me in some cell. Cecil walked up and smirked at me
"What?" I grumbled
"I want you to think about something" Cecil said
"About what?" I wondered
"You'll figure it out. Think about why you're still here" Cecil responded and walked off
An energy field formed to keep me in the cell. I tired to break the field but it kept repelling me. I slumped down against the wall and tried think of a solution
"Help..." a voice said
"Hm?" I looked around but didn't see anyone "Hello?"
"Help us... Please..." the voice pleaded
I stepped up to the edge of the cell and tried to see a sign of whoever was talking "Hello? Is someone here?"
"Someone please..." the voice continued
I sighed "So I can hear you but you can't hear me? Of course..."
I went back to thinking about whatever it was Cecil wanted me to think about. It took a minute but it finally hit me
"Now I get it" I glared
Back on land, Regice and Regirock were closing in on an incredibly steep cliff with Mawile and the others
"That doesn't look good" Tyler gulped
"Tyler, I can't move. Do something!" Taylor said
"What do you want me to do, I can't move either!" Tyler replied
Brianna was trying to reach one of Pokeballs but couldn't "Come on... Taylor, see if you can reach Combusken's Pokeball"
"Which one's Combusken's?" Taylor asked
Brianna looked ahead and saw they were getting close to the cliff "Just pick one!"
Taylor was able to flick one of Brianna's Pokeballs off her belt. It rolled to the side and popped open. Swablu flew out and looked at the situation
"Close enough" Tyler shrugged
"I'll take it. Swablu, Peck!" Brianna called out
Swablu flew around and nailed Regirock in the back but it barely did anything. Swablu followed up with Disarming Voice. Regirock got frustrated and dropped it's captives
"Ow!" Taylor winced "Rude!"
Mawile wished she had more time to get her energy back but it was time to get back on the offensive. She used her jaws to dig into Regice's arm. Mawile was able to get herself and the twins' partners free and rolled to the side
"Mawile!" Mawile yelled at Plusle and Minun
The two Pokemon nodded and blasted Regice with Thunder Wave
Mawile saw an opening and took off
"Mawile! Where's she going?" Taylor gasped
Regice chased after my partner
"She's going for Malik. You two go, I'll keep Regirock here!" Tyler said bringing out Skarmory and Kirlia
"Okay, be careful!" the girls said taking off
"Alright, just you and me. Titan" Tyler smirked
Regirock raised it's arms and slammed the ground. Large spikes shot up at Tyler and his team
"Move!" Tyler ordered
They all jumped out of the way
"REGI!" Regirock charged up and unleashed Hyper Beam. Luckily, the attack missed. Tyler explained that Regirock wouldn't be able to move after using that move so Skarmory flew in with Metal Claw
"We can't hold back. Kirlia, Future Sight!" Tyler instructed
Kirlia sent a large pulse into the sky and it vanished
"Plusle, Thunder Wave!"
Despite being paralyzed, Regirock didn't seem to slow down very much. Regirock tried to hit Plusle with Hammer arm but missed when Skarmory swooped in and saved the little creature
"There has to be a way to slow it down..." Tyler growled to himself
After what felt like forever, Kirlia's Future Sight came raining down on Regirock. That was the most damage dealt to the Titan but it kept coming. In the forest, Mawile was jumping around dodging Ice Beams from Regice. Mawile had her eyes on Cecil's flying fortress. My partner's instincts could tell her that's where she needed to go. Regice focused it's energy into a sphere of electricity. Regice screeched and fired it's Zap Cannon. Mawile was blasted and thrown into the air. Taylor ran up just in time to catch Mawile before she hit the ground
"Brianna!" Taylor yelled
A Flame Burst, Shadow Ball, Disarming Voice combination pelted Regice. Brianna ran up with her team ready for battle. Mawile brought herself back from the previous assault and jumped out of Taylor's arms. Mawile didn't waste a second and ran off
"Hey!" Taylor gasped
"Go!" Brianna said "I'm right behind you!"
"I can help" Taylor replied
"Malik's the one that needs help. He's trapped with that Cecil guy. Hurry!" Brianna worried
Taylor hesitated and nodded. The girl took off with Minun to catch up to Mawile
Brianna glared at Regice "Alright, listen up! My brother's hopeless without me so I won't let you keep here for long! Ready or not, here I come!"
Eevee ran around to distract the Titan while Combusken and Swablu did whatever they could. Regice was living up to it's reputation as a legendary Pokemon
"I will win!" Brianna called out
Back on the ship, I was standing in front of the energy field banging my head on it
"Must. Find. Way. Off. Stupid. Ship. Must. Stop. Stupid. Cecil!" I grumbled every time I hit my head
I was completely stuck as far as I could tell. Keeping up my head banging for a short while, I stopped when I heard a buzzing sound. I looked over and saw tiny sparks flying in the bottom corner of the cell. I walked over and kneeled down to see what was going on. Each corner of the cell there was circular device giving out the energy for the force field. This specific one looked like it was slightly damaged
"I wonder..." I mumbled reaching into my pocket
I pulled out a pen looked at the device. I took a deep breath and stabbed at it
"Ah!" I winced as the ball shocked me "Ow, ow, ow!"
I had to get out of this place so I had to take the pain. I drove the pen in the machine again and took the shock. The device exploded and the force feild vanished
"Yes!" I smiled
I ran through the halls but was careful in case Cecil was around. I was looking for the room where my Pokemon were but I found something else. There was video phone in hallway. I quickly went over and made a call
"Hello?" Prof. Birch said answering the call
"Professor!" I smiled
"Malik! There you are! I've been trying to reach you but you left the Pokemon Center from earlier" Birch explained "Where are you?"
"I got kidnapped. I'm on some kind of flying ship and I'm tryna find my Pokemon so I can get outta here!" I replied
"It hasn't even been an hour... What happened?" Birch asked
"You don't wanna know..." I sighed "Please tell me you found something"
"I think so" Birch said holding up a book "It says that the Titans can only be woken up by force. Something must've did it"
"Yeah, I've got that much. What I need is a way is a way to put them back to sleep. Maybe if I had the alarm clock Cecil used?" I shrugged "Cecil said something about some old stuff that could control Pokemon. What can you tell me about that?"
"There are countless myths and stories about endless artifacts that could do what you're saying. Who knows what he used" Birch worried
"Start a list" I deadpanned
Birch just looked at me and I shrugged
"Okay, uhh..." Birch mumbled "Did he have a medallion?"
"No" I said
"Was he speaking in tongues?"
"Nope"
"Were his eyes glowing?"
"Nuh-uhh"
"Malik, think. Was there anything he seemed very protective of?" Birch groaned
"N- Wait" I thought back to how defensive Cecil when I saw that cube in his lab "Professor, I think I know what he used but how do I reverse it?"
"If it's a material object, my guess would be to break it" Birch suggested
I smirked "That is the least scientific thing I've ever heard you say"
"I don't see any other way" Birch said flipping through his book "What do you think? Malik?"
When the professor looked back up I wasn't there
"Malik?!" Birch gasped
Machamp had snuck up on me, grabbed me and covered my mouth as he took me away. I tried to get away but I was clearly overpowered. Machamp took me to a large empty room where Cecil was waiting
"Malik, there you are!" Cecil smiled "You scared me when you broke out like that"
"I thought I overstayed my welcome. So I'll just get my Pokemon and be on my way. Cool?" I shrugged
Cecil laughed for a moment then put on a straight face "I don't think so. Tell me, Malik, have you been thinking about why you're still here?"
I glared at the man "Yeah..."
"And?" Cecil followed up
"You want me to join you" I answered
A grin crossed Cecil's face "Well you are special. So what do you say?"
"No..." I whispered
"I'm sorry?" Cecil asked thinking he misheard me
"The answer is no" I said clearly "I won't"
Cecil took out a remote, pressed a button and the walls of the room opened up to the outside. I did my best to fight the strong winds. Machamp pulled me over to the edge of room. I gasped as I almost fell out of the ship
"I'm sure by now you've caught on to what happens if you choose the wrong answer. I'll give you one more chance. What is your answer?" Cecil asked
I looked at the sky and thought about what I should say. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't change my mind. My princibles were too sturdy. I slowly turned around and face my enemies
"The answer is still no, you jerk" I growled
Cecil sighed and turned away "You may be special, you may be strong, but you're not to bright. Shame, really... Oh well, can't be helped, I guess. Machamp, if you would?"
I gasped when Machamp grabbed the back of my collar and threw me off the ship. Everything slowed down in my mind. The smiling faces of my friends and family flashed in mind
"Everyone..." I thought "AHHHHHHHHH!"
I yelled in fear as I plummeted out of the sky
Cecil stood on the edge of the room and waved at me "Goodbye, Malik. Maybe you'll be smarter in the next life"
"CEEECIIILLLLLLL!" I yelled
