I know, I know, INCREDIBLY short chapter up ahead. This isn't like me, and I despise extremely short chapters, especially those less than at least 800 words (this is 444 words). But to make the story consist of 10 chapters, I had to include this. Don't penalize me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon, nor the movie. I only own Alice.
9 - One Shot
When I wake up, I feel the warmth of a thin blanket over my body. I shift under the soft material, opening my eyes. Indeed, a blanket is draped over my sitting form, and my back rests against some kind of structure.
I'm still in the castle, I realize, but we're back where the sky is blue, and Damon is at the window, controlling the Pillars.
"Pikachu?" I look around wildly for my little baby, finally sighing when I see him next to me.
He squeals and jumps into my arms, and I squeeze him tightly.
When I look up, I see Carlita's Hydreigon fly in, with Iris and Carlita on its back. It lands a little distance from me, and the girls jump off when it does. I stand up to greet them, Pikachu in my arms.
"Alice! Pikachu!"
Iris runs over to me and envelopes me in a tight but brief hug. A little startled by this, I hug her back, and I'm a little sad when she lets go of me.
Carlita runs over to her brother, Iris and I close behind her. "Are you alright?" she asks her brother. He nods in response.
The sound of a helicopter fills my ears, and Mannes' chopper flies into our view, Juanita and Cilan in the seats behind him. I look up to lock eyes with Cilan, and when he sees me, he seems to let out a relieved sigh, a smile on his face. I blush and smile shyly.
"The leading edge of the Dragon Force! I can see it up ahead!" Mannes shouts down to Damon.
Carlita motions over to the mountain before us. "Is that where the castle goes?"
Damon nods. "Yes, exactly. That's the only way to calm down the chaotic Dragon Force."
Juanita leans over the side of the helicopter, her hands cupped over her mouth. "Damon, you've got one shot at this!"
His face scrunched up in concentration, Damon continues to move his hands over the small Pillars in front of him to control the castle. It moves closer towards the mountain, Reshiram and Zekrom pushing it from below.
Soon, the castle floats right over its original spot on the mountain, and it slowly sinks into the mountain. The tip of the "sword" hits the rugged mountain, and the whole castle rumbles from the impact.
The "sword" tip sinks down deeper until it's fully covered, and a light green power surges down the side of the mountain, conquering the bright pink streams that threaten to tear the valley apart.
I let out a sigh of relief, but my heart still feels heavy. "Victini..."
And we only have one more chapter to go! *sniffles* I know, I get emotional, especially whenever I finish a story, short or not. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
Bye! I love you all!
