Well it's time to pick up where we left off; the big fight against Regirock (aka one of the biggest fight scenes in this fic). Thank you Waveripple of Team Sunrise and thunder-light1 for reviewing
Chapter 10 the first of many
We all stared at the mighty golem, too stunned to do anything else "what do we do now?" I asked apprehensive
Arc was the first to reply "don't move. Don't even breathe. Don't do anything, except pray" looking back we did know Arceus so that might actually have worked
"So then how do we get out of here?" Aura asked never looking away from the rock giant
"Don't worry; I have a plan" Arc replied
"Already? You sure you've thought it through?" Floret asked
"I've been in a situation like this before" he said with confidence
I was tempted to turn my head to stare at him "you've been in a stare down with a golem before?"
"No it was a Kunai slinging bolder. But other than that it's the same"…the heck? "Anyone here know any show tunes?"
Well that was an odd question "Um…I do"
That seemed to relax him "ok good, this'll work. Ok Bane, first I need you to-" but as per usual Murphy just had to do something mind numbingly stupid
He flew up to Regirock and said "hi there, my name is Murphy, what's yours?
"Murphy!" I hissed "get away"
"It's ok Bane, he's not goanna hurt us" he chirped from on top of the rocky behemoth
I was stunned "huh, well what do you know" I walked forward to Regirock, only to get sucker punched
"Bane!" Aura yelled running to my side, something that drew the golem's attention. The weird little bumps on its face started lighting up in some random order, accompanied by some strange beeping sounds
"Oh this is just great" Arc complained rolling his eyes
"Big brother!" Floret screamed
"Look out!" I yelled. Regirock was using some kind of attack, judging by the rocks floating in the air I would have to guess it was AncientPower.
He let loose his attack, and I didn't have time to stop it. The rocks barreled right at me, then a gust of wind almost strong enough to lift me blew them away. We looked towards the source to find none other the Murphy "hey, that was not very nice" even though he was the dumbest person I ever met, he was far from the weakest. Heck before he evolved he was a powerhouse by Burmy standers "now say you're sorry" his reply came in the form of a rock falling on top of him
"Murphy!!!" Floret cried in distress
I just scoffed "come on; it's just Murphy" I walked over to the rock and picked it up reveling a squashed, but otherwise unharmed, Murphy
"I have a lovely bunch of apples, there they are all a standing in a row" I could have sworn I saw Regirock twitch at that
"Oh thank Eon" Floret sighed in relief
"So…now what?" Arc asked
Aura slapped her face "duh, we fight"
"What!? We can't fight one of the golems!" Arc exclaimed
"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot about your brilliant plan" she replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm
"I did have one, but now it's too late!" he yelled back
Floret landed in-between them after dodging an attack "could you two please argue later?"
"Fine" Aura replied reluctantly before jumping into the fray with Arc following suite.
"Did you try talking to it?" asked Arc as he let loose a Swift attack
"Didn't work" I replied deflecting some rocks with Bone Rush
"YOU BIG MEANY!!!" Murphy yelled in pure rage as he bombarded Regirock with Bug Buzz, which I followed up with Metal Sound
"Whoop! New combo for the win!" Arc cheered. He was right to some degree; the twin attack seemed to stun Regirock. Floret took this opening as a chance to encase it in ice with Ice Punch. When the dust settled (what? We were screaming pretty loud) we looked to see the mighty Regirock trapped in ice
"It's over" Aura said in a hushed tone. We turned around to leave when we heard an extremely loud "crack!" We all flinched at the sound
"Oh great" Arc whimpered. We turned around again to see the ice full of cracks "we're goanna die" "Smash!" the ice shattered flinging shards every which way. Not sparing any time Regirock prepared another attack, this time he started glowing with energy "not good!"
"What?" Aura asked slightly panicking
"That's SuperPower" he replied
"I'll say it is" I commented
"No, I mean the move!" he yelled
"And that's bad?" Floret asked worried
"Oh yeah it's bad!" he started shaking
Before we had time to say anything else, Regirock unleashed its attack; an orb of raw energy as big as its maker shot straight at us. Aura and I used ExtremeSpeed to get out of the way, Floret used Bounce, Arc used Dig, and Murphy wasn't in the way of the attack so he was fine right where he was. Even though it missed us the attack still devastated us; when we looked at where it hit we saw the exit had caved in "not good" I gulped
Arc finished his attack hitting Regirock "what happened?"
"Our way out just got blocked" Floret answered
"What!?" Arc panicked (A/N in case you're wondering; Arc can't dig his way out because the rocks would make his tunnel cave in)
"I guess we got to do this the old fashion way" Aura cracked her knuckles
"Can't we do it the new fashion way? That way tends to leave less permanent marks on the body" Arc asked meekly
Aura glared at him "What are you; a man or a mouse?"
"Both!" was his reply "but what does that have to do with this!?"
Aura groaned "never mind" she rushed the rock golem and hit it with Dragon Pulse, but Regirock blocked it by holding its arms over its body in an 'x' shape; Iron Defense. "****!" she yelled
"Didn't know it could do that" I remarked
"Ok, I know I already said this, but; not good!" Arc screamed
"How do we beat this thing if it can block all our attacks!?" Floret panicked
"Just keep hitting it!" Arc yelled "that always seems to work for me"
As simple minded as it was, Arc's plan was our best bet…yes I know what you're thinking, and you're right; we were screwed. "I'm open to ideas people" I called out "even Murphy's"
Aura stared at me "come on Bane, we're not that desperate" I glared at her for a few seconds "ok, ok. We are that desperate"
Before anyone else could say anything, Regirock fired another AncientPower "****! I didn't want to have to use this" I unleashed Vacuum Wave. The incoming rocks all turned to dust
It's said that Arc's eye's grew three sizes that day "holy…holy…holy…something" how articulate "you know Vacuum Wave!?" his response was the very reason why I had made a habit of not using that move; when Pokémon look for a mate one thing guaranteed to boost your chances of scoring was knowing an egg move, Vacuum Wave was one of the strongest out there and I already had enough girl trouble. I'll leave you to fill in the blanks
"Wow, that was amazing big brother" Floret said in awe. She already knew I could use Vacuum Wave
Then Arc had a brainstorm "I got it! Bane, get over here" I did just that. He started digging around in his quills "ah, here it is" he pulled out a TM
"What's that thing?" Aura asked cocking her head
"A TM" I answered "the real question is why do you are you carrying one?"
"Ah, know a bit about humans do you Bane?" Arc replied slyly
"Well my big brother is a reborn" Floret said as she was bouncing around Regirock dodging its attacks while shooting off an Ice Punch now and then…what, did you really think Regirock was just standing there waiting for us to finish talking?
"He's a what!?" Arc yelled
I sighed, I really didn't need a repeat of the 'real vs. reborn' tournament from when I was on the road "is that a problem?"
He seemed to have calmed down a bit "no, it's just you might want to tell me these kind of things before we fight a legendary"
His response was a little surprising "you mean you don't mind?"
He shook his head "no, it's actually pretty convenient; I don't have to waste time explain what I'm about to do"
"Nope, I already have a good idea." He walked over to me and put the TM to my head, pushed a button on it, and it started spinning
This however did not go unnoticed by Regirock. It stopped trying to hit Floret, the fight was pretty one sided after all, and turned its attention to me and Arc "oh crap" Arc squeaked
Aura, Floret, and Murphy got in-between us and Regirock "Arc, just finish whatever you and Bane are doing, we'll stall it" Aura commanded
"We got your back Bane" Murphy tried to say heroically, instead it just sounded cute
"Yeah, what they said" Floret said. And with that they jumped into action; Murphy started it off with a Gust attack, while it failed to do any damage it picked up so muck debris that it blocked Regirock's line of sight, Floret followed up with a Dizzy Punch, which like the last attack failed to do any real damage, but it did stun the Golem
"My turn" Aura said simply. She dashed at Regirock and hit it with Force Palm. Regirock was completely immobilized
"Yay, we did it" Murphy cheered. But it was premature, what everyone failed to notice was the energy slowly building around Regirock
"G-guys look out!" but I was too late; Regirock fired off SuperPower right at the three of them, it was a direct hit "No!!!" all three of them hit the wall, Floret was out cold. "Floret" a tear found its way into my eye
"S-s-s-she's o-o-o-o-o-o-ok Bane" Aura struggled to say. Well that was a relief
"And done" Arc said. The TM was broken; it had done its job
I got to my feet, a new source of determination driving me "let's end this"
Regirock, now recovered from using SuperPower, readied an AncientPower, a few seconds later it fired. I held my paw out, energy collected in it, a few seconds later I fired. The ball of power dashed at the incoming rocks and vaporized them; it even made it to Regirock itself and managed to push it back a bit "so the TM was Flash Cannon" Arc said in awe
I turned to him "you mean you didn't know what it was!?"
"Hey, it worked didn't it?" in his defense; if I wasn't capable of learning the move in the TM it wouldn't have even turned on
"I guess" I mumbled. Then I heard a cracking sound "what the?"
"Bane look out!" Arc dove at me and pushed me away. Not a second later a pile of rocks fell on him, right where I used to be standing
"Arc!" I cried out
"I'm ok" he replied "just stuck. You can get me out after you beat that guy. Don't worry; I'm used to the darkness and being surrounded on all sides, I am a Ground type after all"
"Don't worry, I'll get you out" I reassured, then I saw something familial in the pile of rocks; it was an AncientPower rock, the one I missed. I cursed myself before turning to my opponent
It fired AncientPower again and like before I countered with Flash Cannon, but unlike my opponent I was running out of strength fast "Bane" Aura called out weakly
"Hang on guys. I'll, I'll think of something" I forced myself to my feet to try to attack, but I was knocked back by a rock that I was to slow to stop. "F-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f" I couldn't even finish one word.
It was all over Arc was stuck in-between some rocks, Floret was out cold, and Aura was struggling to stay awake and Murphy was…well…Murphy. I stared at Regirock with my back to the wall. Regirock started to glow with energy; SuperPower. Well if I had to go I would want it to be with a bang. I closed my eyes and waited for the end, and then I heard a "Bonk!" Accompanied by a "Meany" I opened my eyes to see Regirock completely still, rolling by his feet was a…a…a, coconut?
"Murphy?" I looked at my small friend who was staring at the rock giant. Then I looked back at Regirock, I knew what was goanna happen next; it would use that attack on Murphy, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. And then I heard it "Crack" there was a crack in Regirock's head…and it was growing. It kept spreading and spreading until it covered the rock golem, and the "poof" Regirock turned to dust. We were all in shock; Murphy, of all people, killed Regirock with a coconut.
"What's going on here!?" a new voice yelled. This was bad; we had just killed Regirock, the gods were likely to do the same to us. The pile of rocks that had blocked our way out shattered, I looked at the person in the hallway and my jaw dropped, it was the last person I expected to see
OMG Murphy killed a god…with a coconut, typical. Anyway; who was that mysteries voice, and what will they do when they see the pile of dust that used to be Regirock? Read and review but remember; if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all
