Hey everyone, sorry for the late update, but better late than never! Also, make sure to review, it helps me figure out what I'm doing wrong and right.

As always,

《Pokemon does not belong to me, if it did, I wouldn't be writing FanFiction》

"Everything's fine now... The Gym Leader is on their way, and we are all saved!"

My voice is filled with absolute glee. I will be able to live another day! I will be able to get revenge, and my life will return to normal. No adventures, no Pokemon Training, just a calm, peaceful life.

Lily's next words destroyed my hopes.

"But it will take him time to get here, right? We are still stuck with that monster!"

Oh yeah... Well, that certainly won't be a problem, after all, the distance between the Gym and the Center shouldn't be all that long.

A sudden BOOM came from downstairs. Oh crap... The sounds of frantic yelling and screaming reached our ears, and attacked our minds. Alex was trembling, his face went pale, and he looked like he was about to faint. Lily, on the other hand, fared a bit better. What about I? I have already met my greatest fear. But all the same... Those screams are getting to me...

Lily auddenly shook out of her petrification, and shouted at Alex and I. "We need to go save them! We must do something!"

Do something? That's pretty much impossible... Although it is true that we could stall for time... "We can't do much..." Her face fell. "But stalling for time is something we must do."

She instantly cheered up. You could say that she was brimming with excitement. "Yes! Let's go save them!"

Before I could answer back, a man in a black suit rushed to us. "Y-You lot are Pokemon trainers, right? Please, protect our group, and we'll pay you handsomely!" He even got onto his knees to beg us. Wow. They must be desperate.

"Well, we already made up our minds..."

"I'll pay you each 5,000 Pokeyen!"

"Eh..."

"50,000! 100,000! Anything! Just protect us!"

I didn't have time to answer him, because at that moment, the Verglyssian Association people marched up the stairs. Each of them carried a small, thin sword, similar to those that ancient Kanto had used. The one who led the group, a man who wore a golden badge that looked like a "V" on his sleeve, stepped forward.

"Heretics! Surrender yourselves to death! Your actions must be punished!" He drew two short swords, and brandished them.

Without a second thought, I released Slakoth from his ball. "Slakoth, use Yawn!"

As he materialized, he yawned. But, it did not seem to be a normal yawn, because it felt as if a small voice was carried with it. The voice compelled me to fall asleep, and I almost did...

Apparently, Slakoth noticed, and stopped yawning. I felt a bit less tired, but I feel like taking a nap here and now would be nice. In fact, taking a nap would be... wonderful...

When I woke up, everyone around me was asleep, including Slakoth. I gave him a little pat on the head, and went to inspect the Verglyssian Association guys.

Yep... Completely knocked out. I heard that Yawn was useful, but who knew that it would be this powerful... That'll be a problem in the future... Well, I better take away these swords.

I grab the swords from each of the Verglyssians, and I drop all of them in a pile, keeping one for myself. Next, I kick Lily and Alex awake.

"Hm? Why am I on the floor?"

"Where did you get that sword?!"

I stay silent, and start arranging the Verglyssians in a way so that it would be hard for them to untangle themselves. Sure is nice that the alakazam hasn't attacked us yet...

Of course, the alakazam zooms up the stairs, with an enraged look on it's face.

"My followers! How did you do this? Those may have just been pawns, but they are useful pawns! I will take my payment!"

Alakazam summoned psychic auras around it's spoons, and made a stance. Then, it teleported behind me, and slashed my back.

"Gah!"

I tried to turn around to strike it, but it did the same to Alex and Lily, knocking Alex down, and putting Lily on thin ice. It then used telekinesis to push all of us into the walls, and then teleported to the buisness people.

"I must really thank you for this." He grabbed a suitcase from one of the men, and then teleported to it's minions, and teleported away.

My conciousness fading, I was barely able to see the buisness men rushing to aid us. It was able to steal something... But, at least I am alive... Hah... Hahah... Hahahah...

I was shaken awake by a blonde man, who wore a set of platemail. I must be dreaming... This man looks like a fairy-tale knight...

"I, Ros Cavaller, the Haiko City Gym Leader, will be taking you into custody for a while, to question you."

I stare blankly at him, not comprehending a single word he said.

"Again... Please..." I groan. My back is killing me...

He repeated his statement.

Great. I don't really want to go anywhere. Just let me die here.

"Can I just stay here? Walking all the way to the Gym or Police Station or whatever will waste energy..."

He looked at me as if he had stepped on a bug. Then, he sighed and continued with his own thing.

"I have already done some minor questioning with the female trainer over there," He gestured to Lily. "But I must collect more information, and the Police Station is the best place to do so. You will come with me, and attend the questioning. There are no other options."

He gave me a good glare, and I glared right back at him. I don't care at all. I just want to stay here, and make sure that I can sleep without getting interrupted. Sure, the place is in ruins, but it has a bed.

Ros decided that he was done with me, and went onto the buisness-men, who were all looking panic-stricken. After that, I really tried to not eavesdrop on their conversation, but, y'know... I'm really nearby...

"-Do you mean that it was stolen?"

I think that was Ros.

A voice that I haven't heard before answered. "That Alakazam, it defeated three... no, FOUR trainers without breaking a sweat! I am suprised any of us are alive!" That voice continued to talk until it was basically whispering gibberish.

"But how could you let the plans be taken? It is the lifeline of The Balance-"

Ros turned around, and saw me sitting against the wall, trying to look innocent, but completely failing at it. I mean, I tried. He walked over to me, and grabbed me by the collar.

"You will forget that you ever heard that."

It'd be better if I didn't anger this guy...

"Hm? What was I supposed to forget? It takes too much energy to remember things."

He looked like he was about to explode for a moment, but then he caught on. "Exactly."

Then, he dropped me back to the floor. Of course, my back was not happy about this. So, it decided to send me as many flipping pain messages as possible. I love this situation.

Groaning, I lean myself against the wall. I call out to a uniformed man leaning against the wall.

"Hey! Do you know when we are going to head to the station or whatever? I don't want to waste any time if we have something we need to do."

"When Caveller is ready."

Well. That answers a whole lot. Well, while we're here, I should talk to Alex and Lily.

I tried to stand, but I was in too horrible of a state to do so, and fell back on the floor. I tried a few more times, making a fool of myself all the while, and give up. I resign to scooting over to them. Good thing we are on ths same wall.

Alex is in a worse state than I, his face is pale, he is curled up in a fetal position, and he looks as if he could die any second now. Lily, who also looks like she would die at any second now, is resting Alex's head on her lap. Caressing his head, she turns to me.

"What... do you want?" She sounds as if she is on the verge of tears.

"Er... I just wanted to see how you were doing..."

"We're obviously not fine, thank you... Please go..." She went back to caring for Alex.

Well, I guess they aren't in the mood... I scoot away, and Ros finally decides to get us out of here.

"My buisness here is done." He turned to a pair of medics. "You two, help those two to a vehicle." He pointed to Lily and I. "Then drive the severely injured to the hospital."

They responded with a quick "Yessir!" and began to help Lily and I to some policecars around the back of the center. I could hear the sounds of policemen, countless voices shouting and talking, and cameras flashing on the other sides of the building.

The two medics quickly shut the two of us into the back of a car, and hurry off. A man in a police uniform was sitting in the driver's seat. He didn't say anything, but kept his mouth closed. Lily scooted into the window seat on the far right, and I sat on the far left. My back was still killing me, and I wondered what the reason was for us not being in a hospital right now.

After a while, a second policeman entered the car, and told the driver that they were ready.

He stepped on the gas, and we started to speed through the colorful city. Large screens were everywhere, showcasing ads or entertainment. Colorful signs of all sizes also lined the winding streets, attached to equally colorful buildings.

After a while of driving, and of my daydreaming, we finally got to a blue building that I recognized as the Police Station. The car parked, and the cops dragged us out. Personally, my back seemed as if it was on fire, so it wasn't the best of walks.

When we entered, we were greeted by a large screen, that showed a cartoon of a secretary-looking person spewing military and police propoganda. Arceus, that is annoying. After we side-stepped the screen, we passed right through the front desk, and straight into a dark hallway. After turning left, we entered an equally dark room, with a single lamp hung by the ceiling. Ros was waiting for us there.

"Wow..." I winced from the pain in my back. "The old crime movies were right..."

The cops said nothing, and sat us down into two chairs. Ros then turned to us.

"Both of you are not suspects. But, we must question you as witnesses. First off, is it true that an Alakazam, with a group of white-robed people, attacked the center, and maimed a total of several people, including you."

We nodded.

"Secondly, did the Alakazam have any special marks or accessories to identify it?"

Thinking back on it, I think his head was abnormally large, even for an Alakazam. "His head was a bit bigger than your average Alakazam, he just kinda floated everywhere, so I guess his brain has grown to that large of a size."

Ros nodded, and looked to Lily. She nodded.

"Not the best identifying trait, but at least it's usable... Third, did you see what the Alakazam took."

"I just saw a black case."

Ros nodded, and continued.

"Did the organization that attacked you have a name, or identify themselves in any way?"

It was Lily's turn this time. "They called themselves the Verglyssian Association."

He shook his head, and muttered. "High command is going to be on my ass about this for years..."

He then closed a notebook he was carrying, and brought out a small cylinder. Popping it open, he produced two purple pills. "Eat these, it will help with your backs."

I guess that eating a random pill from a stranger isn't the best idea, but he's the Gym Leader, he can be trusted. Popping one of the pills into my mouth, I let it dissolve. Suddenly my eyes begin to mist up, and my back starts to feel like it's bursting.

"What! What the... what the... the crap did... did you... do..." My vision growing foggy, I black out. The last thing I see is a grimacing Ros, and a fainting Lily.

And now, a few more words from Helix. Hello guys, and welcome to the end of yet another chapter. I really must thank the few of you who are supporting my story, and reviewing. Anyway, you amy see that I changed this ending, and fixed some things. I am very sorry for leaving some incomplete things, and wish that you all pardon me for that. I will not upload another incomplete chapter again.
