Disclamer: I do not own Pokemon.
Chapter 3: A New Destiny
"Sire," asked Abra, "What do we tell the queen?"
"Well," Alakazam spoke in a rather sarcastic tone, "We can just tell her that we were just patrolling the castle grounds."
They continue on their way, pretending that everything was going as normal as it should have been. But when they arrived at the castle grounds, they didn't have to explain a thing at all. Because the next thing they knew was that every Pokemon among the hundreds, if not at least thousands, surrounded them. Every entrance and exit was block, not that any of this mattered to Alakazam.
"Have you all been spending all this time to prepare this big warm welcome for me?" Alakazam spoke sarcastically.
"Not quite," a calm voice emerged from the crowd. Everyone else then turned around to make way for the owner of the voice. For Queen Ninetales had made her way a few paces towards Alakazam.
"I know about what you just done to my most loyal servant. The same way you have gotten rid of my husband. But most of all, I now know that you had played a major role with the decease of my precious daughter, Kira."
"All these deeds were done within reason your majesty."
"Reason?! You call that reason?!" Her red eyes then began to glow with deep hatred and rage.
"And what is it that you plan to do about it, your majesty?"
"I'm going to perish you from this world once and for all!"
And so they fought.
"You will pay dearly for what you have done." And in a spit second, Ninetales launch her Fire Blast, aiming furiously towards Alakazam.
"Really," Alakazam replied in sarcastic disappointment, "Is this part of your plan of getting rid of me?" He then lazily flicked his fingers to counter the upcoming flames. As the opposed attack rushed forward towards Ninetales, she barely managed to evade the attack at the last second with Double Team.
As if Alakazam already knew what to expect, he then directed his Confusion attack at Ninetales. While plenty of damage was done, it was not enough to her bring her into the confused status. As she dashed in close with her Quick Attack, Alakazam automatically blocked out the hardest of her attempt with his own reliable Twisted Spoons, having very little damage done to Alakazam anyhow. With hot humid sweat rushing through her fur, she unsuccessfully tried to scratch and bite him at close range as Alakazam easily defended himself with his spoons. In an attempt to defeat him, Ninetales targeted her strongest Fire Blast at Alakazam. As the giant flames erupted, she was about to conclude that she had won the battle. But not long after so, the flames exhausted into smoke, revealing that all of that time, Alakazam had use Protect to avoid the damage. Therefore, her attack was useless.
Taking advantage of time of Ninetales's stunned reaction, Alakazam sent a flying Mega Kick at Ninetales, as she was helplessly flung to the other side of the grounds. Her battered body slid hard against the rocky floors in defeat. But all of a sudden, her eyes widened and froze for a second, as if she had an unusual idea. She then got up and slightly wobbled as she attempted to walk towards Alakazam. Struggling not to collapse, she then calmly said, "I have lost. You may do with me as you wish." Then she bowed down, knowing that the worst was soon to come.
"As you wish…your Majesty!" He then summoned by hand (and spoon) a great beam of light that was nearly unrecognizable by the naked eye.
"Hyper Beam!"
The attack swiftly knocked Ninetales off her feet as this automatic force of gravity was suddenly crushing her body. But despise her bones and muscles being torn on the inside, she didn't scream. The last sound that ever came out from her was nothing more than a gasp. And then there was blood. Thick yet steamy hot blood oozed out from her wounds, forming downward into a pond of misery.
The crowd gasped but did nothing out of shock. For none of them have ever seen so much gore from this sort of deed before. Yes, there were plenty of times where Pokemon had suffered short or even long-termed injuries from after battle. But never, ever, was there a time where so much pain was shredded in the battlefield. Death was just as worse. There were always stories spread through out the town of how some Pokemon have witness another Pokemon's death whether though the effects of over-battle or disease. However, these tellings were more likely to be rumors than truth. From the crowd, it looked like that the younger ones wanted to revolt, but the elder ones gently pushed them back, reassuring them that this was not possible.
Among in front of the young ones was a female servant, a Vulpix to be precise. Next to her left was a young Flareorn. Like any other servant, they appeared a little more dirty and raggedy than the rest of the crowd. But like everyone else, both females were dejected at what they had just witness. However, this female Vulpix seem slightly more scared and confused than the others. There was even a hint of sadness in her eyes. While the Flareorn next to her could barely contain her anger and bitterness towards Alakazam. Moments that felt like eternity past by through them with silence.
That was until when Vulpix finally glance away from the bloody corpse that her eyes shine with hope and serenity. She then unintentionally walked one step forward, then another, but not before Flareorn sharply pulled her tail back.
"What do you think your doing?" Flareorn hissed in alarm.
"Trust me. I think I know," the young Vulpix whispered back.
"No! Ginger…wait!" Flareorn whispered louder.
But Ginger was already out of distance to hear her friend's plead. She walked stiffly yet in a calm matter towards Alakazam. Curious, Alakazam did nothing. She was now no more than about a foot away from him. She then did something that the crowd found unthinkable at the moment. She bowed down to him.
"I am at your service, your majesty." she spoke in a meek voice. Seconds, then a minute passed by before anything else happen. And then, one by one, Pokemon from all over the crowd begin to bow down to Alakazam, therefore pleading their duties towards him. In a matter of moments, every single Pokemon at sight either had bowed their head down or were on their knees or both. Expect for Flareorn, who then was the last one to bow down due to the pressure of her peers. When all seemed calm, Abra smiled at Alakazam and quietly said, "Sire, I think it's clear which alliance has finally won this war."
