Chapter 3

This Arc is Short

"Hey Flint, look over there."

Flint the Boldore looked in the difection his brother, Glint the Boldore was looking at.

"Is that a... what do the humans call it...balloon, Glint?" Flint asked his brother.

"Seems like it, Flint." Glint agreed.

"It's a bit odd-looking though...it's small… and oval-ish...Glint."

"I dunno, Flint. It's a bit weird though, Flint... suspicious..."

"...I think it just glowed, Glint..."

"...I think it's puffing up, Flint..."

The 'balloon' floated closer while they were talking, before popping. The cavern darkened and the two Pokemon were hit by red waves of energy, before fainting.

It's called a distraction, bakas!

A stone fell down from where the waves originated, before gently floating to the rocky floor. Coast is clear, guys!

All the ghosts came through the wall they were currently watching through. Finally, I couldn't take much more in there! I felt like everything was poking me! said a distraught Mora.

Eh, you'll get used to it, kid. It becomes normal after a while. Cofagrigus answered.

Eberon congratulated the Spiritomb, Good job Tsukitera! Unfortunately, that was the last balloon we had... We're just going to have to 'run' through now and hope we don't get sensed.

Mora was confused, Why didn't we do that in the first place?

Because all ghosts have a spooky 'aura' which can be easier felt when we are invisible. Therfore, it isn't a good idea to just float through places like this. And there are warnings when something like that. Some of the smarter ones would put two and two together and try to take us down, Elizabeth answered.

Marion started to dance with her doll. Whee! More are coming!

Everyone, divide. Marion, Kin, Elizabeth and Tsukitera look for the ore. Neo, Mora and I will create a distraction.

Right!

And then...

...Your plan went horribly wrong from there...

My plan was flawless! I didn't expect them to get us so quickly...

Fine. Be in denial. Please continue.

"Smack Down!"

"Fissure!"

"Night Slash!"

The 3 ghosts dodged attacks left and right from the ice and rock types.

So how did we get in this situation again? Eberon asked while shooting Flame Bursts.

You burned a Cubchoo to death. (Dodge."Hey!" ) Right after stabbing it. Right after melting its Vanilite friend, SLOWLY. Mora fired Spites in every direction.

Yes, well (dodge) that was a bit miscalculation on my part. "BURN"- I forgot to eat today - "Why can't you just die like every living thing!" - I didn't think he would start screaming so quickly - "OW! Eat Will o' Wisp! "

Eberon, he was just a kid! Not only did you painfully kill him, you scarred him for life!

("Thundershock!") I-I will n-never look at i-i-ice cream the sa-sa-sa-same wa-way again... Neo was electrocuting everything he could sense. He caught a glance at the Lampent, and shivered, It ha-has fo-forever been burned in my brain...

And you scarred Neo too.

Honestly, who really cares about Neo at this point in time?

Your concern for your team mates is commendable.

Why thank you. There's something behind you by the way.

So then what happened next?

Shut up. We hid for a while in a cave wall. Afterwards we decided to use Ominous Wind and fog the place.

And then what happened?

The loud, rumbling voice came out of nowhere, "Halt evil beings!"

Who's he talking to?

Then a squeaky voice, "I sense you in there, foul ghosts! Come out of the wall! Or we will take you out ourselves."

Ah. "I'll think we'll stay in here, thank you."

BOOM!

Dust and smoke flowed from the new hole in the wall. Mora, Neo and Eberon were splayed out on the rocks and ground. "I think -cough- we can grace your presence now, whoever you are.

"...So you are the trouble makers that caused disturbances in Twist Mountain..." replied an ethereal, monotonous voice.

"I believe we gathered that the last few seconds. Who the heck are you?"

"...We are the protectors of Twist Mountain..." A large floating figure was still now.

"The doers of all right!" A flying figure came out behind the floating figure.

"The fear of the wicked!" A rapid drill-like shape came out of the ground.

"We are..."

"The P-Power Rangers!" Neo exclaimed psychically.*

"What the...No!"

"We-well in that case, you guys suck."

"Midori the Swoobat!" The shiny Swoobat prepared a Air Slash.

"Erosion the Excadrill!" The Excadrill went back into the ground.

"...Refle the Cryogonal..." The Cryogonal just sighed, before preparing Flash Cannon. 'Help me please' he thought.

"We are Team MER!" And they all released their attacks.

All the ghosts teleported behind them to dodge.

"You still suck."

So you were defeated by Power Ranger rejects? Pretty depressing.

Oh shut up. We weren't defeated.

You're right. YOU were hit by an OHKO move...and they fretted over you, ran out of there, calling the others with them right.

I hate you so much. I really ****ing hate you so much.

What a horrible mouth.

I don't have a mouth.

That's beside the point. You don't say that to your father.

Do not call yourself my father. You gave up that right 200 years ago. You never cared.

You know I am unable to interfere that much, let alone greatly interfere, unless -

You still could have done something. Anything...

And she would still be alive.

…I'm sorry.

Oh thank Arceus you're alive! Mora nuzzled the Eberon.

That's kinda impossible, since I'm a ghost. Eberon chuckled weakly. I feel like I'm going to break in half...**

You know what I mean!

Rotom came bursting into the room. Eb-Eberon! YourawakeohmyZekromIthoughthatyoupassedonIfeltsog uiltythankyouforsavingmeyourthebestIwouldhugyoubut Iwouldelectrocuteyou! THANKYOU!

Don't mention it, Eberon grew his flame as much as he could manage. EVER.

Okie dokie! Rotom just smiled.

So...what happened while I was out?

Well, Mora started, we fled as fast as we could, while contacting the others. Apparently, they had succeeded in their mission without a hitch. We did our job pretty well. They got both you and Neo's ore and we all left together. You were out for a week. We were all worried.

Really?

Actually, every 4th person. But who cares about the other 3/4ths? Rotom replied. Oh, by the way, Mistress Mitsumi says you're grounded.

WHAT THE -!

*Neo is a big Power Rangers fan.

**Eberon was also hit by Guillotine.

I actually wanted to get this chapter done and over with. Why? Cameo appearance from Pokemon X and Y. It will probably stay cameo as well.

I do not own Pokemon.

I also condone the killings of Cubchoos and Vanillites.

If you are going to flame me, it better not be about that.
