Glaceon continued to stare down at Leafeon in shock. He hadn't expected to the grass Pokemon so soon, especially in these circumstances. The grass Pokemon looked exactly the same as he did one year ago. Of course, there were more stress lines across Leafeon's face, but that didn't matter right now. He slowly lifted his paw up and hesitantly brushed against Leafeon's ear, making sure that he wasn't just seeing things. In response, Leafeon twitched his ear before shying away from the cub's touch. However, he showed no signs of waking up.
Glaceon whimpered in sadness. He butted his head against Leafeon's prone body, trying to wake up the grass Pokemon. But Leafeon still didn't wake up. The cub was starting to get worried. He tried to wake up Leafeon for a few more minutes before he finally gave up. The ice Pokemon whined deep in his throat before looking towards Alakazam for help.
"Why won't he wake up? He's healed, right?" Glaceon asked the psychic Pokemon.
Alakazam hummed in mild confusion and stared up into the ice Pokemon's cage. His eyes narrowed and he tried to observe the grass Pokemon from where he was. His eyes widened slightly when he spotted something.
"There seems to be a poison running deep in his body," the psychic Pokemon said gravely.
Glaceon gasped unconsciously, huddling close to Leafeon. "But, I thought that Chansey healed him!"
"Poison can not be healed. It must either be removed or destroyed," Alakazam remarked.
Glaceon whimpered again and licked Leafeon's ear. The grass Pokemon groaned but still didn't wake up. Looking down at the other Pokemon's face, Glaceon could see that a purple tint was starting to spread across the grass Pokemon's face. Lifting his head up, he could also see other parts of Leafeon's body slowly turning purple as well.
"Well, what are we going to do?" Glaceon asked softly. "There's no way that we can rid of the poison while we're locked in here."
Alakazam nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, but if I remember correctly, there is an antidote just outside this room that should heal your friend."
Glaceon gasped. "But that would mean that we'd have to escape from here!"
"Exactly," Alakazam said.
"But you know what happens to Pokemon who try to escape! The last Pokemon that tried was killed!" Glaceon exclaimed while shivering in fear.
Alakazam lifted his hand, trying to calm the ice cub down. "That is why we need to get everyone in this room to help out. It is impossible for Team Galactic to overpower us if we have the power of every Pokemon in this room combined."
Glaceon looked around the room. He had to admit, Alakazam had a point. The entire room was full of powerful Pokemon. There were Pokemon of every race and attribute locked up in cages, ranging from fire to water to dragon. Even some Pokemon who were considered to be the best of the best, just under the legedaries of course, were locked up. And if they were able to band together, escaping would be a snap.
"Alright, let's do it. Do you think that you can open a few portals so that everyone can escape?" Glaceon asked in excitement.
Alakazam nodded his head and closed his eyes. The spoons in his hands started to glow once again before a familiar buzzing noise filled the room. Glaceon looked around and noticed that portals were starting to appear in all of the cages. The other Pokemon must have noticed too, since everyone was starting to stand up in confusion. Glaceon looked around in his cage before he saw the portal on the side of the wall. Without a moment's hesitation, Glaceon used his teeth to grab the nape of Leafeon's neck. He began to pull the grass Pokemon through the portal, tightening his grip as they fell into the portal. Seconds later, the two reappeared on the other side of their cage.
Glaceon stood up and looked around. He noticed the other Pokemon looking at him in mild curiosity. However, the fear in their eyes shined much brighter.
"Well, it's time to change that," Glaceon thought to himself.
Walking to the center of the room, Glaceon whistled, getting all the Pokemon's attention. Everyone was looking at the cub in confusion and curiosity.
"Hey Glaceon! What are you doing out there?" Magmortar asked in worry.
The entire room filled with the sound of rumbling. The other Pokemon were wondering the exact same thing. Glaceon opened his mouth to speak, but the noise in the room was too loud for him to talk. He opened his mouth again, but the noise didn't seem to go down. Huffing in annoyance, Glaceon growled loudly.
The room quieted down relatively quickly. Glaceon smiled gratefully. "Thank you everyone. And to answer your question Magmortar, I'm out here because I'm planning on escaping today," Glaceon explained.
A loud gasp went through the room. "What? Are you crazy Glaceon? Team Galactic will kill you!" Flygon shouted.
Glaceon nodded his head in understanding. "I understand that, but I have to. You see, my best friend is dying right now," Glaceon said while pointing towards Leafeon. "He has a powerful poison in his system right now and if I don't get the antidote in time, he could die."
Silent rang through the room before the sound of talking Pokemon filled the room. "Well, at least let us help you Glaceon!" Chansey shouted.
Glaceon smiled brightly and nodded his head. "Of course. The more Pokemon we have on our side, the better."
The entire room cheered in agreement before moving towards the portals in their cages. They all were familiar with Alakazam's portals and how they worked. They stepped through the portals and they were teleported to the other side of their cages. The center of the room soon filled with several Pokemon who were preparing themselves for the upcoming battle.
Glaceon smiled slightly before looking at Alakazam. "You can close the portals now, Alakazam. We're waiting for you," Glaceon said.
Alakazam nodded his head once before closing off all of the portals except for the portals inside and outside of his cage. He opened his eyes slowly before standing up. Glaceon and the other Pokemon watched as Alakazam went through the portal. Seconds later, Alakazam appeared in front of them. Everyone then turned their attention to Glaceon. The ice Pokemon's eyes widened in surprise.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Glaceon asked in shock.
"It was your idea to break out. So you're the leader in this operation," Magmortar said obviously.
Glaceon snapped his head towards Alakazam in shock. The psychic Pokemon patted Glaceon on his head.
"Don't worry cub. You can lead everyone. I'll be right here beside you," Alakazam said.
Glaceon nodded his head slowly before gulping. He was slightly worried about potentially leading everyone to their deaths. But he had to push that thought down. He couldn't let everyone down, not when they were counting on him.
Taking a deep breath, Glaceon nodded his head. "Alright. Here's what we're going to do…"
