Disclaimer- Pokèmon still is not mine... Sorry about the cliffhanger, by the way, but I'm evil like that. Have fun!
Clemont dashed towards Ash, running faster than ever before, but still slower than the crowds pushing the other way. "Ash!" He called out. Ash turned to the Lumiose City gym leader.
"What is it? The stadium is going to explode!" Ash said.
"Calm down! We have half an hour!" Clemont said.
"We do?"
"Yes. A member...he called it Team Eclipse..he said this all will be gone in half an hour thanks to...thanks to Violet." Clemont breathed out, hands on his knees as he gasped for breath. Ash began to think, and quickly had an idea.
"Get everyone back here!" Ash said. Clemont looked at Ash as though he lost his mind.
"What?"
"Everyone with Pokèmon. Have those that know Dig go underground. If they find bombs, bring them up. We can put them in a pile with those we find in the bleachers. Pokèmon that know Protect will surround the bombs with Protect. When the bombs blow, the stadium will be fine!" Ash said.
Clemont nodded. "Alright. Help me spread the word." The two ran off, explaining the news to everyone.

Ash stared at the bombs. There were ten seconds left. "Everyone who knows Protect, use it now!" Ash screamed. Cries of thirty Pokèmon were heard as a giant shield surrounded the pile of bombs.
Serena stared at the bombs in fear. If this didn't work, Ash could be seriously hurt. Or dead.
"Five seconds! Keep holding on!" Ash cried out. He returned Pikachu to its Pokèball.
Violet stopped running and faced the stadium from far away, a smirk on her face.
"Keep holding!" Ash screamed. The bombs screeched and exploded. Ash looked away.
The stadium was intact when Ash looked up.
Violet frowned and ran quicker. The boss would definitely be angry, but he knew who they were dealing with. She should've defeated him, and hidden the button when she hit it.
Gary grabbed Ash and messed up his hair. "You did it, Ketchum! You really did it! You didn't mess up anything!"
Ash chuckled. "I knew what I was doing." He looked around. "Who will I battle now?"
Misty sighed. "That's all you care about, isn't it?" Ash rubbed his neck.
"I'm sorry, but the tournament has to be postponed." A voice said on the nearby speaker. "Until the people who caused this panic have been caught, the Solar Tournament will not continue."
Ash frowned. "Team Eclipse, right, Clemont?"
"Yeah!"
N fixed his hat. "Violet has a major role, from what I can see. A mission like that, where she had to supervise, that's a role given to major people. She's at least an Admin. Or a Scientist." He said calmly, watching the entrance as viewers left, leaving Ash and his friends to stand alone in the battle field.
"So, she could end it?" Wally asked, clutching the Mega Stone that hung from his neck.
"Perhaps, before wondering if a girl who tried to blow up a stadium will disband a group, you should find her." A voice said. Ash turned to see the stone loving Hoenn Champion.
"Hey, Steven!" May said. "You're here too?"
"Yes, I am. Nice seeing you, but this is serious." Steven turned to face the whole group. "Do any of you know her?"
Ash, N, Clemont, and Gary raised their hands.
Steven cleared his throat. "Well, Ash, I don't think you would be the best for this. Which of you three approached her on your own?"
Clemont lowered his hand.
"What are your names?" Steven asked.
"I'm Gary, and this is N." Gary said.
"Alright, well then, this can work." Steven muttered.
"Steven, sir, what is the plan anyways?" Serena asked politely.
"Ah. Well, if you find her, I have a feeling she'd rather talk to someone who knew her before this than someone who didn't. If you want her to try disbanding Team Eclipse, at least."
"That makes sense." Dawn said.
"Yes. But first, does anyone know where she may be?" Steven asked. N raised his hand. Gary did the same.
"Champion of Hoenn, Violet most likely resides on the far end of the island." N said.
"Yeah. That's where she went after I first talked to her, and she came back a while later from that direction." Gary said.
Steven nodded. "The far side of the island? Then we should leave at once."
Author note- Sorry that there isn't much. I've been working on my other stories, but since they are not fanfictions, I cannot post them here. The next chapter should be longer!
