Bloodlines Chapter 9 - RD87
The Rapidash simply bounced off the wall, didn't even make a dent or leave a scorch. "Try it again Rapidash!" Darren ordered his mate. The Rapidash flame wheeled straight into the wall again, and still no change. Professor Clove then spoke up on the intercoms, "It won't work Darren. That wall is meant to withstand the heat of your Pokemon with ease."
Darren continued to urge Rapidash to flame wheel the wall, and the Pokemon obeyed again, and again, and again. Darren lost a bit of hope each time the Pokemon failed, until finally, he hung is head down in defeat. Rapidash was still not done with yet, although he was battered and bruised, he would try one last time. He took a good long look at his trainer, then his child, and ran.
Darren looked up just in time to see a glorious evolution. His Rapidash was... heavenly. Wings had sprouted up from the Pokemon's back, like a pegasus. His muscles had intensified and his body itself had grown. Rapidash's heat concentrated and increased exponentially. He leaped and spun into the air, creating a heat wave that blasted the wall before he even made contact.
The metal walls bended and curved, then melting as the Rapidash rolled through. Ponyta and Darren stared in awe for a few seconds, until realizing that this was a perfect time to escape. "What the hell!? Guards, to the main door!" Clove shouted through the intercoms.
Rapidash stood gallantly outside the wall, where Darren and Ponyta had leaped through unharmed. Darren climbed aboard his Pokemon and kicked his sides to indicate that he should run. They dashed down the hallways, not too fast because Ponyta would lag behind. They stopped at the front door, which was protected by 6 Pokemon.
Even with a mega evolution, Darren couldn't do a 1 versus 2. He did a u-turn back into another set of hallways, and saw a room labeled, "Pokemon Storage." Darren told Rapidash to stop there and hopped off. He saw hundreds of Pokeballs, most of them were weak Pokemon so he had to sort through them.
He found 4 Pokeballs: Mantine, Arcanine, Tentacruel, and Serperior. Darren smiled, knowing these four would listen to him because he carried their child and Serperior carried his. The others were owned by someone else, so they wouldn't listen anyway. The two Scolipede's had a different way of breeding and generally didn't care about who they laid their eggs in.
He hopped back onto Rapidash and rushed back into the exit again. Darren stopped in front of them, studying their Pokemon. Greninja, Venusaur, Blaziken, Infernape, Scizor, and a Simisage. He smirked, it was a perfect match. He caught the guards by surprise when he summoned the 4 Pokemon. He got off his Rapidash and said, "Let's battle." All 6 of his Pokemon nodded and attacked.
Ponyta was more of a support role, she was still a child so she would randomly use ember while in the back. The other 5 completely decimated the guards, and Tentacruel carried Darren out the door using its tentacles. Clove ran out, shouting curses at Darren as he escaped. He smiled proudly, free at last. Darren started to feel tired after that, it was the middle of the night after all. He drifted off to sleep, where Musharna finally returned.
The blank dreamworld shifted in as real life faded out. Musharna waved to him then said, "You're finally out. I can't stay long but there has been word about the twin's location. You'll find them in Hoenn in the Southern Island." Darren frowned, "Hoenn? That's halfway across the world!" He knew he could take a boat, but it was still too far and he had a life here. The Musharna didn't even respond when the dreamworld faded away, and Darren was beginning to wake.
