I'm back!
For the next few hours, Snivy would come back and attempt to convince Queen Serperior of the event that was about to happen. She even brought the rest of the aces as backup, but Serperior was still not believing them.
Oshawott had taken everybody to Dugtrio's secret area to talk about the situation.
"Well, Plans A,B,C, and D failed." He said, flopping on the ground in defeat.
"Your mom is as stubborn as a Tyrantrum. And that's pretty darn stubborn!" Kirlia exclaimed, picking Oshawott up and sitting him down on a rock with Psychic.
"Don't rub it in." Snivy mumbled, curled up in a ball.
"Here's an idea. Why don't we just send Oshawott in to annoy her into coming?" Tepig snickered, nudging the otter in his side.
"Hey! You're pretty annoying yourself!" Oshawott argued, tackling the pig. The girls rolled their eyes.
After thinking it through, the group of five headed back towards the palace. Even after Oshawott started his incessant whining and Tepig made his adorable eyes, Queen Serperior would not listen. "Stop with this fooling around, Reuniclus is a nut job! I am not going, and that is final!" She yelled, finally snapping.
"Come on, everybody. Let's go." Sighed Kirlia in defeat, everyone following behind her. They retreated to the Arcane Area to talk everything out.
"Hey, what if there really isn't a bomb after all?" Tepig suggested. "It is a possibility."
"In your dreams, Teppie. Reuniclus is almost always right. If he can bring Darkrai back from the Void, he can predict a bomb." Snivy sighed.
"Anyways, Serperior is prolly gonna come later. What have we missed, anyways?" Oshawott said, making sure that they didn't leave anybody in the black.
"Nope." Duosion said. "I went over to some of the hard-to-reach areas for you."
"Stop bragging! Not everyone is as great and amazing as you." Oshawott responded sarcastically, with a dumb look planted on his face.
"Ugh. Let's just go back to the Scientorium already." The Mitosis Pokemon groaned.
"Ah, back already, I see!" Reuniclus greeted the group. "Come on in, did you bring supplies?"
"Ah, drat, we forgot." Duosion said "But we can go back out again to get some."
"Yes, yes, that would be nice." The cell blob told the Aces, sending them back up to get survival items.
After a while, the group came back with a truckload of all sorts of things they had collected and bought, hoping it would be enough to sustain the massive group. "I... am never gonna do that again..." Oshawott groaned as he fell to the ground under all the weight. Tepig stuck a tongue out at his face, gloating about something he could do better than him.
"You didn't do anything except carry the fluffy blankets! We pulled a whole cart!" Duosion said as she gestured towards a large wagon filled with their items.
"Well, that was hard! There's, like, 27 million on there!"
"Ahem, let's get down to business-" Kirlia started, but was interrupted by Oshawott.
"To defeat the Huns?" The otter butted in.
Kirlia facepalmed. "We need to get our things, set this joint up, put all this junk away, get everyone outta Wish Park successfully, and get the stairway set up outside." She rattled.
"I'll take Wish Park," Tepig said. Secretly, he had a tiny crush on Gothorita. (A/N: Gothorita is a girl in the story.)
"Well, I ain't picking anything else up: Who wants to take care of the staircase?" Oshawott said, rubbing his 'Sore' arms.
"Heck, whatever." Snivy mumbled and walked out of the Scientorium.
"Dibs on organization!" Duosion yelled and dragged the wagon towards some of the storage rooms.
"Set Up, I guess?" Kirlia called when everyone had left.
After a few hours of stair moving, organizing, setup, and gathering, the Scientorium was finally ready for impact. It was a good thing, too, since the Wish Parkers were arriving.
"Hey, where's everybody else?" Snivy asked, looking at the tiny turnout.
Everybody except Darkrai, Gothitelle and her family, Sigilyph, a Litwick, a Yamask, and Haxorus stayed behind.
"I tried!" Litwick called out in a squeaky voice. "The rest of them didn't believe me! But I knew you guys were right all along!"
"Heh, good to know somebody believes us." Snivy snorted.
"Wow..." Gothita marveled, looking at Reuniclus's lab. "Coooollllll."
"Take it you've never been to Pokepark before?" Kirlia said. "It's quite a lovely place."
"Yeah, as much as I love Wish Park, I need to get out more." The fixation Pokemon replied. "Except the problem is it's getting blown up, so fat chance for me."
"Hey, where do we stay?" Haxorus asked, looking around the hall for a room to stay in.
"The lab." Duosion replied. "Lemme show you!" She dragged the big dragon off to the Lab, where she had set the beds up.
"Well, we're one big happy family now." Gothitelle said, looking at everybody else.
It was almost Thursday, the fated day. Dusknoir stood outside with the Klink, Klang, and Klinklang, ready to shepard everybody into the Scientorium. Snivy stood by the elevator, hoping that whenever it went down the box would deliver Serperior. Luck was not on her side, all through the night she lay awake watching the elevator, and the last minute Pokemon come through.
Duosion was helping her father out in the Lab, with his calculations and whatnot. She was looking at one of the monitor screens when she heard a ripping noise. Turning around in her swivel chair, she saw Reuniclus with a piece of the poster portal ripped off. "What was that for?" Duosion asked.
"I didn't know if the radiation would seep through the portal from Wish Park, so I'm playing it safe." Reuniclus responded, tacking the paper up on his wall for safekeeping.
"That might take a while to repair... It took you a long time to create it in the first place." The smaller blob told Reuniclus, flashing back to the intense process of hooking the poster portal up to Wish Park.
"It's going to be okay." Reuniclus told Duosion.
Oshawott sat up on his waterproof mattress floating in the water of the little reservoir inside the larger lab, where everyone else was sleeping. "Geez, why can't I sleep?" He thought out loud. The little otter slid off into the water, then getting back out again to go through the door into the hallways outside. He walked around, over to the elevator when he saw a black silhouette sitting there, illuminated by the little laser lights that flashed from the landing pad every so often.
"Gah!" The shadow shouted when Oshawott thumped over.
"Snivy, what the heck are you doing out here this late?" Oshawott asked, looking at a droopy eyed Snivy.
"Waiting for Mom." She replied groggily.
"Go to bed. If she comes, she comes." The otter said, shoving Snivy off towards the bedrooms.
Suddenly, the elevator opened. Snivy jerked her head towards the doors, hoping that Queen Serperior would be the one to come out.
But she wasn't.
"It's coming..." Dusknoir panted after exiting the elevator with the Gear Pokemon.
"We heard it." Klinklang seconded.
"Say what?" Duosion said as she rushed out of the door to Reuniclus's lab. A few other Pokemon who were lying awake came out, too. Snivy fell on the floor, knowing her mom wasn't coming.
And then there was the floor-rattling thud.
