Hey everyone, sorry for the delay, been busy with work. Thanks to WaffleMan19, Bchillblade, Antex-The Legendary Zoroark and Pocketsand1224 for the reviews. I do not own Pokémon.
CH 7 Right Place, Right Time (Same Day)
Celadon Mall, 1st Floor:
"Vaporeon Hydro Pump!"
"Espeon Psybeam!"
"Sylveon Moon Blast!" Our three evveelutions blasted through the Shadow Pokémon we were facing. Vaporeon was one of the pokemon I rotated in when not using my best team. I had discovered that Lillie had evolved her Eeevee into Sylveon not long after getting her third badge.
"Snag Balls go!" Wes and I threw out Snag Balls at the Shadow Magmortar and Shadow Stoutland.
"Retreat we need to report this too Ardos!" The two grunts quickly ran up the stairs as two more showed up. They released their own pokemon, a Lopunny and a Scizor.
"More already?" Lillie asked surprised.
"Well we are attacking one of their strongholds," Wes answered.
"Now Mega-Evolve!" Wes and I were equally surprised when the two mega-evolved.
"Espeon return," Wes said as he recalled Espeon," go Typhlosion!"
"Vaporeon return," I said swapping Vaporeon for one of my best pokemon," Porygon-Z come on!"
"Lopunny Brick Break!" the first grunt called as Lopunny ran towards Porygon-Z.
"Sylveon protect it with Reflect!" The wall was destroyed but had bought me the time I needed.
"Porygon-Z use Conversion!" Porygon-Z turned from a normal type to an electric type.
"Thunderbolt!" Porygon-Z let loose a large blast of lightning onto Lopunny, being powered up by its ability adaptability.
"Scizor Shadow Claw!"
"Typhlosion Fire Punch!" Scizor and Typhlosion clashed with a bang.
"Crobat Sludge Bomb!"
"Magmortar Fire Blast!" The three of us were surprised to see two new individuals. The first was a youngish girl with purple hair and ninja like attire. The other was an older man with white hair.
"What are the Fuchsia and Cinnabar leaders doing here?" One of the grunts asked answering the question I was about to ask.
"Brock sent out a message to all gym leaders available in the region. Janine and I won't let these hooligans."
"Blaine and I will handle these two," Janine said turning to us," you three go on ahead."
"You sure?" Wes asked.
"Yes, I assure you we can handle these grunts," Blaine answered.
"Alright thanks," I answered as my group headed up the stairs.
Second Floor:
The area was in disarray and empty, save for one person.
"Looker?" I'd recognize the detective anywhere.
"Ah the Alola Champion, I thought I'd find you here."
"How'd you get past all the security?" Wes asked.
"I'm a detective, I know some tricks. Actually the G-Men asked me to help out, I arrived in Celadon not long after the take-over. It hasn't been easy hiding though."
"Uh Alex who is he?" Lillie whispered to me.
"An agent for the International Police, he was one of the people who asked me to deal with the Ultra Beasts," I whispered back.
"You're Wes right?" Looker asked as turned to the man in question.
"You know me how exactly?"
"I've read all the reports on Cipher, you were mentioned quite a lot being someone who stopped Cipher the first time in Orre."
"I guess my reputation proceeds me then detective."
"You don't look like you belong here," Looker said to Lillie which caused Sylveon to glare at him.
"I can handle myself just fine Mr. Detective," Lillie said confidently.
"Whoa sorry, you just didn't come across as the battling type, at least that's what my intuition is telling me."
"I mean I used to not like battling but I've gotten three badges so far."
"So what do you think of this battle?" Looker asked Lillie.
"I don't think what Cipher is doing is right. They can't use Pokémon like this, nobody should use Pokémon for bad stuff," Lillie said probably thinking of her mother.
"Well that itself is a good enough reason to try to fight, even if you don't like fighting it just takes one person to inspire those around them to fight even the greatest evil."
"Look, we don't have time to shoot the breeze, what do you know?" Wes asked Looker.
"Silph Co. is a trap."
"A trap?" I asked.
"There are Cipher members hidden there but nothing else of interest."
"So they have Mew here?" Wes asked.
"They do, however, they're after any legendary they can get," Looker said as he faced me.
"Like my Solgaleo?"
"Probably yes."
"Well I won't let them have Nebby."
"There they are!" We looked towards the stairs to see two more grunts appear.
"Go Shadow Empoleon."
"Now Shadow Rhyperior!"
"Lillie, you and Sylveon protect Looker," I said as Wes and I faced the grunts.
"You got it Alex." Porygon-Z and Typhlosion readied themselves for battle.
"Shadow Empoleon, Shadow Jet!" Empoleon cloaked itself in black water as it charged towards Typhlosion.
"Typhlosion dodge and use Fire Fang!" Typhlosion dodged the attack before chomping down on the opponent with lit fangs.
"Porygon-Z Ice Beam!" Shadow Rhyperior was too slow to dodge and got frozen as a result.
"Break out of it!"
"Porygon-Z Focus Blast!" The large blast hit the frozen Rhyperior who thawed out but was sent back from the shock.
"Shadow Rhyperior Shadow Wrecker!" Rhyperior's arm was covered in black rock as it slammed it into Porygon-Z.
"Recover!" Porygon-Z recovered its strength as Typhlosion was cornering Shadow Empoleon.
"Typhlosion Eruption!"
"Shadow Empoleon dodge it!" Empoleon slid around the ground dodging the molten rocks and getting closer.
"Shadow Slam!"
"Typhlosion grab it," Typhlosion grabbed Empoleon tightly,"now slam it!" Empoleon was slammed to the ground with a loud thud.
"Shadow Empoleon Shadow Beak!" Empoleon shot up hitting Typhlosion head on with its beak.
"Typhlosion Flare Blitz!" Typhlosion covered itself in blue fire with Empoleon still in close range burning it with extreme force.
"No withstand it!" The grunt fell on deaf ears as Empoleon went down.
"Snag Ball go!" Wes effortlessly caught the corrupted pokemon.
"Shadow Rhyperior Shadow Charge!"
"Porygon-Z Flash Cannon!" Porygon-Z's shot hit Rhyperior dead on causing it to fall over.
"Snag Ball!" The ball wiggled once or twice before the pokemon was successfully snagged.
"Let's go, we need to help the others get ready," One of the grunts said as they ran back up the stairs.
At this point Ardos definitely knew we were here. I had no idea why he was after Solgaleo, but he wouldn't get his hands on it.
"Looker are you going with us?" Wes asked.
"Yes, I may not have a pokemon with me but I need to see this through to the end."
"Alright let's get going then," I said as we headed the same way the grunts had ran.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading and see you next time.
