When they arrived, Kyurem was waiting right there.
"I was expecting you. I also expect more than last time."
Boom got off Blitz and returned her to her Pokéball. "Ask and you shall receive."
She started off with the same Pokémon as last time, using her Hydreigon, Hyalite. He fought strong, but like last time, is beaten.
Boom paused. "Maybe I should sent out Blitz early." She used a suggestive tone. "… No. I will use her later."
Going in the same order as last time, Boom sent out Sapphire. This time she Moonblasted Kyurem, blowing away a large chunk of HP.
Kyurem easily recovered despite being hit by a super effective move. Once again following the previous battle, Kyurem freezes Sapphire with a Glaciate, followed by an Ice Beam.
Boom was irked. "Maybe I should send out Blitz"
She sent out the Latias and Mega Evolved her.
Blitz charged a Dragon Pulse, but Kyurem used Glaciate before she could fire.
Boom was intrigued. "Seems you have raised your Speed stat since I was gone."
Kyurem nodded in silent agreement.
She sent out Blade. He jumped into the air and onto Kyurem's back, but Kyurem shakes him off. When Blade lands, he is in the crosshairs of the ice generator on Kyurem's tail. It notices, and fires a powerful Blizzard attack, knocking out Blade.
Boom grabbed one of her Pokéballs and sent out Lunara.
She then used Aurora Beam, but it did not do much.
Kyurem used Ice Beam, knocking out half of Lunara's HP.
Boom returned Lunara early, and she sent out Emerald.
Emerald was as swift as the wind, because he is the embodiment of wind. He flew above, and struck Kyurem's back with a Dark Pulse.
Kyurem struggled to get up, but when he did, he was looking directly at Emeralds silent but serious stare.
Startled, Kyurem jumped, hitting Emerald in the jaw. Kyurem swung its sharp ice wing around, creating a huge gash in Emerald's chest.
Boom and Bomb were shocked and rushed to Emerald's aid. Bomb sent his Umbreon out to use Moonlight to help heal Emerald.
One of Boom's Pokéballs was rocking furiously. Lunara was struggling to get out! She broke out, welled up in tears to see one of her teammates like this. But she knew that she had to let Boom do the work. She took first aid courses and know how to handle this situation.
Boom took out some Full Restores to help sterilize the wound. She then turned to Lunara.
"Lunara, can you close the wound with Psychic?" Her voice was calm, even in an emergency.
She used the said move to pinch the gash shut.
Lunara panicked in thought. "I can't let Emerald die, I can't let Emerald die…" Her breaths were fast, heavy and shaky. Her heart raced. She just wanted to explode, but she tried to bottle it in. "Arceus, please let him live, I'm praying to you!"
Bomb stood up. "I'll call the Pokémon Center to get a helicopter, you keep him alive!" He ran to the cliff to try and get reception on his PokéNav+.
Boom looked over at Kyurem to see it sitting there. His body language said that it was really guilty. Kyurem looked over at Boom, then back to the ground.
Boom could tell that Kyurem was really sorry, his intention was to not wound her Pokémon. But she wasn't sure if she would forgive just yet. She would have to give it some thought.
Bomb came back. "Alright, I got a hold of the Pokémon Centre, an air ambulance will arrive ASAP!"
They heard Kyurem's footsteps as it approached. It lowered its head, then looked back up at Boom.
"The way you treat you Pokémon has changed my view on trainers like you. Originally, I thought humans abused them and used them as tools. That is why I seclude myself from the outside world. But seeing the way you are helping Emerald, I know you truly care about his safety. You know Pokémon are living, feeling beings that deserved to be treated equally to people, and that you care about the safety of all your Pokémon. For that, I will hand over the victory to you."
Boom smiled. "You're right, Kyurem. I know that everything breathing has emotion, and no matter what species, none of them deserve to be abused. I put the safety of my Pokémon first. They are like the family I never had. Even though you're a hollow shell of a once god-like being, you still have emotion. But there are still bastards that want to abuse Pokémon. I shame them for doing that."
Boom heard the chopping blades of a helicopter. The air ambulance has arrived. They brought Emerald to the nearest town.
When they got there, Emerald was taken to an emergency room. Boom called her parents to tell them they got caught up in an emergency and won't be home for a while.
The next day, Boom found her parents at the front desk, asking where their children were.
Boom had just woken up and was tired. "I'm right here guys. Dunno where Bomb is though. Probably training."
Her mom came up to her and hugged her, filled up in tears. "Oh my, what a dilemma you got put in! Are you okay? Are your Pokémon okay?" She searched Boom for wounds.
Boom chucked. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. But…" Her face welled up. "One of them isn't." She pointed down the hall.
Her mom gasped in shock. "Oh no… Who is it?"
Boom let out a shaky sigh. "Emerald."
Her mom hugged her. "Sweetie, what happed to your big tornado bird?"
Boom sat down on a bench. "He surprised Kyurem, surprised it so much he swung one of its spiky wings around, makin' a gash in his chest." She drew a line across her chest with her finger, making a slicing sound.
Boom got up. "Well, better check on the others." She walked down the hall and entered a room.
Her Pokémon were happy to see her. "So, Nurse Joy, they all fully healed?"
Nurse Joy nodded.
Lunara rushed out the open door to find Emerald. She looked at all the rooms until she found him.
She pressed her snout against the glass. Boom came up behind her.
"I'm sure he'll be fine." She wrapped her arm around Lunara's neck. "Kyurem didn't mean to hurt Emerald. It was all an accident."
Nurse Joy walked up beside them. "He will have to recover for a while. You are welcome to stay here if you like."
Boom nodded. "Thanks."
In a few months' time, Emerald had healed enough to walk around. When Lunara saw him in the lobby, she was overflowing with joy. She flew right up to him and hugged him. She blushed from sheer happiness.
"Oh, thank the Lord Arceus you are okay!" Like her other teammates, she used telepathy.
Emerald chuckled. "Well, it's certainly nice to be greeted by a warm welcome!"
Before he could mutter another sound, Lunara raised her head up and kissed him on the tip of his beak.
Emerald stumbled back, with an almost dazed look on his face. He never saw this coming, and was very surprised.
"Heh… Make that a really warm welcome!" His face turned a little red.
Bomb giggled. "Look who has a crush!" He spoke in a tease-like tone.
Boom's mom looked at her. "Looks like you didn't just made your Pokémon stronger, but your bonds stronger as well. The bonds between both you and your Pokémon have grown once again.
Boom smiled. "Our bonds will never be severed. We will be together forever. We are family."
