Hallibel's and Yorouichi's police unit scanned the area as fast as anyone could possibly imagine. Mainly because of their insistence to pick up the pace whenever they worried about Ichigo (every 30 seconds). "How can it take so long to find a giant hovering ship that is carrying a research centre?" Hallibel yelled at the police unit again, as they continued to sigh as they had done throughout the journey. "Miss Hallibel may you refrain from antagonising my unit they tend to work better when not in the mood to strangle to someone" Officer Jenny growled; Hallibel simply huffed in response and fell on her seat, staring outside the window. Her eyes soon drifted to Yorouichi who had been scanning outside the helicopter since they had set off. "So how has it been travelling with Ichigo all this time" Hallibel asked out of the blue; Yorouichi faced her instantly with slightly widened eyes. "Well as fun as things can be with that strawberry-idiot, why do you ask?" Yorouichi replied coolly her eyes feigning disinterest. "Nothing but you seemed pretty attached to him when we all met up earlier and very hesitant to leave him for my match" Hallibel sneered causing Yorouichi to back up a bit in shock. Her face stained with a slight blush, she collected her thoughts and counter-attacked. "Well you seem pretty ticked off when I arrived and started stealing Ichigo's attention, whys that? Seem threatened by little me" Yorouichi sneered with fake pity. Hallibel blushed deeply and was about to retort but was cut off when a scout exclaimed a report. "Officer Jenny, the west and east squads have reported nothing but countryside and forests to be seen, no signs of that ship" the young scout exclaimed as Officer Jenny grimaced.
Officer Jenny scrambled to the communicator and contacted the west squad. "West squad come in, dammit, is it true there is nothing to be reported" She practically screamed into the machine before a slightly frightened chief of squad responded. "Y-yes Officer Jenny nothing to report out here except a few mountains, Swellow, and a darkening in the clouds-" the officer droned before screams blasted through the communicator. "Officer what's going on over there why does everything sound like it's going to shit, answer me dammit" Officer Jenny exclaimed as the unit turned to her in surprise and interest. Seconds passed, of screeching blasts and tearing metal, before a weary officer croaked "Officer reporting, the unit is down, beams-ugh... out of nowhere... Cut us down hugh, requesting back up with extreme caution". The transmission went dead as every individual of the unit looked on ay each other in shock and confusion. Hallibel and Yorouichi looked at each other and exchanged glances of worry over the same thing. Officer Jenny was the first to do anything shouting and ordering the remaining units to get their act together and move to the last location of the fallen west squad.
"Zorua get out of there" Ichigo yelled as Dordoni's Dodrio sent a tri attack towards him. Zorua hesitated slightly but rolled to the side quickly just evading the tri-attack, leaving it to carve through the floor and form a huge crater. Ichigo rushed a sigh as he turned to Zweilous just in time to see him counter Gantenbainne's Drudigon's dragon claw. "Zweilous, low blow a dragon claw, quickly" Ichigo commanded; Zweilous eyes shinned as his claw glowed with a great bluish energy as he sent it flying towards Drudigon's stomach. Gantenbainne smirked as Drudigon simply caught the attack with a tensed claw. "Drudigon, send that brat's pet flying with dragon tail" Gantenbainne yelled with arrogance. Drudigon's eyes fazed slightly through his permanent lifeless stare before he swung an powerful dragon tail straight into Zweilous's side. Zweilous tumbled back but quickly caught the ground with the claws, piercing Drudigon with an angry stare as he did. Drudigon simply stood there as lifeless as usual, waiting for his next command."Zweilous keep Drudigon occupied with continuous dragon claws and fire fangs" Ichigo yelled trying to but Himself and his Pokémon some time. Zweilous smiled darkly as he charged in. Ichigo turned to check on Riolu who was desperately striking with force palm after force palm, while the emotionless Kricketune blocked every last one with X-scissor.
"Kricketune, what do you think you're doing?! Get in there and cut that mangy mutt apart" Girucci growled with angry disappointment. Kricketune's eyes flashed as Drudigon's had before and increased the pace of his X-scissors. "Riolu don't get caught fall back and use screech" Riolu followed Ichigo's commands almost as a sixth sense, pouncing backwards and sending a huge sound wave towards Kricketune. Girucci covered her head as Kricketune fell to the floor in pain as Riolu's screech tore away at her ear drums. "Yes we got him Riolu move in with power-up punch" Ichigo yelled as Riolu face portrayed a proud smile as it charged in with its with glowing fist. Girucci suddenly stopped writhing in pain and relaxed into a joint exchange of stares with Dordoni and Gantenbainne. "Dodrio, hidden power!" Dordoni roared out of nowhere; "Drudigon, flash cannon" Gantenbainne roared with a smug cackle; "Kricketune, echoed voice!" Girucci laughed. All three of their Pokémon's eyes flashed, before Ichigo and his Pokémon saw a surrounding rush of energy surge towards them from all sides. Ichigo's eyes flashed behind him to Aerodactyl and Fletchinder; "Zorua, Zweilous and Riolu move in and protect Aerodactyl and Fletchinder" Ichigo commanded as his Pokémon fell back at super speed. Counter every one of their attacks we can't let Aerodactyl and Fletchinder get hurt anymore" Ichigo stated. Aerodactyl's eyes blurred open to see Ichigo standing in front of him as if he were protecting him. Aerodactyl's eyes watched as Ichigo and his Pokémon stood valiantly against the incoming blast and take it full on.
Zorua countered with shadow ball; Zweilous countered with dragon pulse, and Riolu intercepted with focus blast. The attacks engulfed one another, as an energy cloud engulfed Ichigo and his Pokémon. The cloud soon cleared away in a giant explosion that sent rubble and glass flying. The scientists that had run away as soon as possible screamed in shock as the explosion rattled the facility to its very core. The cloud of pitch black smoke spiralled towards the open skylight for several moments as the rattling calmed down. "Hahaha, where's that confidence gone now, ehh, you little brat; in the afterlife with your sorry behind" Gantenbainne cackled hysterically. Dordoni's smirked as the smoke cleared but soon was filled with rage as Ichigo was shown with his Pokémon standing tall with only as much as a few tears in his clothes. Gantenbainne's arms fell to his sides as he remained utterly speechless for the first time in what seemed eons. Ichigo breathed deeply as his entire left side throbbed and permeated with pain. 'I can't take a risk like that again, me and everyone are on the line as well as on the ropes. Damn maybe those chains are my only hope but...' Ichigo's eyes and thoughts drifted to Riolu as she knelt to the ground in exhaustion. 'Riolu is the problem, can I form the chins with her I mean there is no doubt that she trusts me like a pack ally but is trust all it is' Ichigo shut his eyes in frustration; his fist clenched in anger. 'No, I have to abandon my doubts Riolu and I trust each other just like I trust Zorua and Zweilous, it will work, it has to!' Ichigo's thoughts run dry as he clenched his fists trying to recover all the emotions he has used before to bring out the chains. Ichigo's chest began to glow sapphire; leaving the enemy trio and their Pokémon to stare in confusion. Ichigo's chest flashed brighter than ever before as his Pokémon began reacting to his call; Zorua's and Zweilouses chains came flying as fast as lightning, linking with Ichigo's chains in a flash. Ichigo stared at Riolu who was staring at Ichigo with a look of strong doubt. "Riolu trust me, remember what I said when you joined us officially 'you're a member of our family' now I 'm asking you please lend me your trust just like Zorua and Zweilous and I swear you will always feel as one with us" Ichigo soothed Riolu as she began to smile excitedly. And with a reaction only to be expected Riolu's chest glowed a bright blue before a chain burst out and moved towards Ichigo. Ichigo smiled greatly as his third chain awakened and linked him with Riolu. Ichigo and his Pokémon felt the surge of power and feelings surge through them; Dordoni and his associates felt the presence in the room change greatly as Ichigo and his Pokémon turned, primed to fight once again. Although this time the result would be a little...one sided.
Officer Jenny and the rest of the two units were immensely startled by the huge boom that rattled through the air around them. "That was an explosion, no doubt about it, but where could such a thing come from out here?" Officer Jenny stated as she immediately began scanning the area around them from the cockpit. Yorouichi continued to look outside into the distance to see a huge cloud of black smoke cascade around...nothing. Yorouichi soon put two and two together arousing her suspicions. "Officer Jenny I found them!" Yorouichi yelled to the cockpit alerting everyone on the craft. "Where, Yorouichi?" Officer Jenny asked walking over to Yorouichi who pointed out towards the cascading smoke. "That's the remnants of the explosion we heard earlier, and look at the way the smoke is dispersing its circling around something" Yorouichi explained as the unit began to understand. "All units move out now we found those damn bastards, let's give them hell" Officer Jenny announced over the communicator. Hallibel shuffled in her seat as she fiddled with her Poke-receiver; "What are you doing Hallibel we're gonna be rescuing Ichigo any minute I thought you would be at the front of the line hollering commands" Yorouichi joked. "I'm contacting the three stooges to see how there doing and to tell them what's happening" Hallibel explained as she finished dialling Apacci's number.
In the distance, in a familiar area. "Hello Mistress Hallibel, what can I do for you?" Apacci asked as she looked down at the little image of Hallibel. "I wanted to let you know that we are currently on route to assist with the retrieval of the fossil research centre from a terrorist organisation" Hallibel stated noting a resemblance of shock on Apacci's face. "What is it Apacci?" Hallibel asked in her 'I-won't-take-no-for-an-answer' tone. "Mistress Hallibel me, Mila Rose, and sung-sun, are in the research centre" Apacci said a little too loudly as Officer Jenny and Yorouichi took this as the que to butt in. "What where exactly are you?" Officer Jenny demanded; "south entrance to the main area where well.." Apacci hesitated. "What is it Apacci answer me or I will bite your head off" Hallibel asked; Apacci looked to Sung-sun then Mila rose before saying" Ichigo is currently having a three on three Pokémon battle with the terrorists". Sounds of conflict rung through the background of Apacci's Poke-receiver. "What help him out Immediately" Hallibel and Yorouichi roared; "Wait maybe we could use this to our advantage" Officer Jenny cut in. "You three is Ichigo doing all right against the three trainers" Officer Jenny inquired, Apacci nodded instantly with sincerity. "Okay then can you three find a way onto the terrorist's ship and disable their defences, so we can approach without any setbacks The trio saluted as army cadets would before sneaking away from Ichigo's fight. Officer Jenny secretly sweat dropped at the possible mistake she just made.
"Zorua charge in with a full power pursuit, right at Drudigon, Zweilous and Riolu back him up" Ichigo commanded as all three charged towards Drudigon, as Zorua charged a bursting pursuit. "You think we can be beaten by some pussy ass fox cub, Drudigon Chip away" Gantenbainne roared as Drudigon charged a orangey energy into his claws before charging to intercept Zorua. "Dodrio, bebe, intercept the Riolu with a drill peck" Dordoni commanded; "Kricketune strike down Zweilous with X-scissor" Girucci commanded. Both charged in with their respective attacks. Soon all six were about to clash in the middle until "Guys, switch" yelled Ichigo. It all happened in an instant Zorua dodged under the first of Drudigon's Chip aways, and pounced colliding his pursuit straight into the neck of Dodrio. Drudigon didn't have a chance to intercept as his eyes were preoccupied by being smashed by one of Zweilouses dragon claws. The blow to Dodrio's necks sent his drill pecks flying off course and into the floor allowing Riolu to use Dodrio as a spring board and jump over the head of Drudigon and allow it to slam a force palm straight into the head of Girucci's Kricketune. Ichigo's Pokémon all ended walking away unscaved as Aerodactyl, Fletchinder, and Theodore, who had escaped the rampaging crowds of scientists and returned to check on Ichigo, looked on in awe.
"Great job guys, that'll teach them to mess with our bonds" Ichigo praised proudly as his Pokémon patted each other on the back. "Oh, bebe, you think that albeit impressive manuver is enough to beat our hollow Pokémon you are surely mistaken" Dordoni began to rant as Dodrio, Drudigon, and Kricketune crumpled up from their previous damaged positions. "These Pokémon have been shown the greatest kind of pain imaginable, whatever you do to them will blow off them like a tropical breeze, now let us continue your cute but inevitable struggle" Dordoni snickered as Dodrio charged in with a quick attach catching Zweilous off guard. Zweilous skids back a few inches but just looks back with a ticked off expression. "Dodrio, now bebe, use aerial ace on that pesky Riolu" Dordoni commanded; Dodrio three sets of eyes flashed as he swooped in at incredible speed on Riolu. Dordoni cackled at was certain to be a one hit K.O but didn't expect the actions of Riolu's family. Zweilous and Zorua jumped out in front and countered the aerial ace head on with pursuit and dragon claw. Dordoni growled. "Well you two dumb bebe's get in there and split them up when they are not working together they're pathetic!" Dordoni commanded with anger. His two subordinates growled as they reluctantly carried out Dordoni's instructions. "Drudigon flash cannon at that Zweilous bastard!" Gantenbainne roared, Drudigon followed immediately sending a searing flash cannon straight at Zweilous. "Kricketune, Echoed voice at that crappy Riolu" Girucci screamed as her Kricketune blasted Riolu with a deathening echoed voice. "Zweilous, Riolu get out of there and lets beat them at their own game they want one on one then that's what will give' em" Ichigo grinned as Zweilous dodged and charged forward towards Drudigon the thirst for victory emanating from him, while Riolu rolled to the side putting and charged at Kricketune with a force palm. "You guys ready to do this";"ZZZZZZZOOOOOORRRRRRUUUUUAAAA"; "ZZZZWWWEEEIIIIILLLLOUS!"; "RRRRIIIOOOOOOOLU!". "Good that's what I was hoping to hear lets finish this up right now ".
"So Rose how do you suppose we get up there?" Apacci asked, her ally, Mila Rose as she was deep in thought; Sung-sun didn't want to wait for whatever crazy idea those two would come up with so she walked over and examined the electrical tethers hoisting up the entire building. "I got it we use our NidoKings to throw us up to the ship" Mila Rose said finally which Apacci agreed to saying "Yeah that sounds like a completely safe idea which will get the job done. "Uh you two come here, before you start making human catapults, and listen" Apacci and Mila Rose walked over dragging their legs" We could use each of our NidoKings to climb up these tethers with us on their backs. "Are you crazy Sung-sun those wires are bursting with electricity we'll get fried before we can even climb up one metre" Apacci yelled; Sung-sun face palmed before deciding to demonstrate herself. "Come out NidoKing" Sung-sun said as she threw her poke-ball releasing in a white flash the purple goliath known as NidoKing. "NidoKing I need you to climb that with me on your back if you would" NidoKing nodded in understanding as Sung-sun climbed onto his back. NidoKing sprung up immediately from its hind legs and began climbing the tether at break-neck speed. Apacci and Mila Rose finally understood and soon were climbing up the same tether as Sung-sun had just done.
Moments later at the top of the tether. "Now what genius" asked Apacci rudely; "this, come out Seviper" Sung-sun said as she called forth her trusted Seviper. "Seviper use iron tail, to slash open the bottom of this ship" Seviper followed Sung-sun's commands immediately slashing tens of slashes through the bottom of the ship. "Seviper return" Sung-sun called; "Now all NidoKings smash through the cut metal" Sung-sun called. The NidoKings all understood and skyrocketed upwards and through the metal underlay. "whoooo, is this place high tech or what" Mila Rose thought out loud, Apacci simply kicked in one of the monitors and spat "so what, it's all gonna be rubble by the time were done". "Apacci steal any written documents you can and lets blow this joint literally" Sung-sun said as she grabbed the files sorted neatly on the few shelves. Apacci tched, as she grabbed the files and hopped back on NidoKing. "Let's go guys this place is worthless now so let's finish things". All three of them left the ship the same way they came, by jumping out of the hole they made. All three landed on the ground with a great thud and generated three huge craters, the aftershocks shook the entire land mass.
"Kay Girls this is where we end this shit event, everyone get all there Pokémon out and let's blow that thing to kingdom come" Mila Rose said sighing as she threw out her female Pyroar. "Hard to believe we got sucked into all of this just cause we wanted to check out this Ichigo guy a little more thoroughly" Apacci stated with a pathetic grin on her face as she brought out her Sawsbuck. "I feel like I'm forgetting something" Sung-sun simply said as she brought out seviper again.
"Pyroar! Fire blast!".
"Sawsbuck! Solar beam!".
"Seviper! Flamethrower !".
The three named Pokémon sent the attacks soaring through the sky and through the ship at different points a blast of flaming metal and heat emerged in the down gust of the following explosion. "NidoKings lets finish this off" Apacci cheered as all three NidoKings prepared themselves to end the terrorist ship.
"NidoKing! Stone edge!".
"NidoKing! Blizzard!".
"NidoKing! Thunder!".
The attacks all collided and compacted into one blazing surge of energy that blasted through the core of the ship, causing the ship to implode and rain smouldering metal all over the rocky landscape. Beneath them and the descending fossil research centre. "Now I remember what it was oh, guess I'm too late now huh" Sung-sun said as she clung to the ground and braced for impact.
"Well by Joe, those stooges did it-"" a bit too well the whole place is going down what about Ichigo and the scientists" Hallibel cut across, severely concerned about Ichigo. "Yorouichi, where did she go" Hallibel asked looking round the chopper; "Oy get out here we ain't about to let Ichigo go that easy" Yorouichi yelled at Hallibel as she rode an 'appropriated' Braviary. Hallibel didn't even hesitate as she leaped onto the Braviary's back, then signalling Yorouichi to fly on. "Nothing we could do about that, it was bound to happen eventually" Officer Jenny thought aloud; "Are you talking to me Officer Jenny" a confused pilot asked, "What, no just speaking out loud tell all officers to begin scouring the wreckage" Officer Jenny ordered.
"Woahoh" Ichigo moaned as the tile floor beneath him began to shake and slope greatly; He fell to floor grabbing Aerodactyl and Fletchinder before they could slide away. His eyes took the opportunity to drift towards the unknown trio as they erupted with anger. "DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!" roared Dordoni as his face was lined clearly with pulsating veins of anger. "WE'VE BEEN TRICKED; THIS BASTARD WASN'T MEANT TO BEAT US HE WAS TO DISTRACT US SO HIS ALLIES COULD BLOW UP THE SHIP!" Dordoni continued to rampage vocally. "C-calm down Dordoni this isn't the best time to be angry its the time to think of an escape route" Stated Gantenbainne as he grabbed Dordoni's shoulder. "ES-, cough, escape. We cannot escape we're stuck entirely the ship defences brought its own downfall" Dordoni brought his hand to his head before continuing "and our own, we've failed our lord"
"Oy, you three tell me what the hell you wanted in the first place, plus who is this 'Lord' bastard" Ichigo shouted across; Dordoni and the three looked back at him with vile hatred and disgust. "You! It's your fault we've failed our lord, the greatest man on this planet, the man who will bring an end to the destruction and suffering plaguing the world so deeply it masks all visions but him and those who follow him" Dordoni exploded out before standing again. "It seems pretty coincidental that only you guys can see the problems with the world , but I honestly don't care about that, just tell me who you guys are so I can remember the guys are who have injured my family" Ichigo roared back standing up himself; His Pokémon mimicking as they rose to their feet. Aerodactyl remained quite as his eyes refused to remove from Ichigo; he began to feel something inside sparkle pleasantly.
"So you want to know the people who killed you and your family""I didn't say killed" Ichigo cut across as Dordoni and the other two smirked evilly. "I was talking realistically, anyway we are, just us three, the Privaron Espada, I'm glad you'll remember it for as long as you die!" Dordoni announced. Dodrio rose as a zombie would to its feet; Drudigon and Kricketune did this as well until all three stood with their blank faces and hole filled chests. "Dodrio as your master fire a hyper beam with all your conceivable power" Dordoni commanded. Dodrio began to scream psychotically as it built power up in all three of its beaks. "Drudigon you bastard charge all you have into a hyper beam so we can end this strawberry bastard" Gantenbainne shouted; Drudigon clawed at its head as he, seemingly regrettably, charged a hyper beam. "Kricketune, you heard, hyper beam with your entire being" Girucci yelled; Kricketune covered its head with its arms and shaked violently as a hyper beam formed between its moustache like antenna's. Ichigo eyes widened with shock, as the Pokémon all screamed with pain as the hyper beams adopted a dark core of energy. Ichigo anger rose as he felt not only their pain, but the pain his Pokémon felt in the scene as those feelings pooled into his heart. He clutched his hands in anger as he stifled tears of pure rage.
"Zorua, Zweilous, Riolu, we're all getting out of this" Ichigo roared suddenly towards the sky light. His Pokémon smiled and nodded, jumping in front of their master and family protectively. "Zorua shadow ball, Zweilous Draco meteor straight ahead, Riolu focus blast; not with all your power but all of each other's power lets show these three the power of our family" Ichigo announced proudly as each of his Pokémon's respective attacks began to glow with a sapphire energy. "Fire it already you foolish bastards, now let us finish this strawberry brat" Dordoni roared finally as all three's Pokémon fired they attacks; the beams collided and repelled each other as the rampaging dark, orangey, energy smashed towards Ichigo. "Fire now guys hit them with everything we have" Ichigo yelled releasing his Pokémon's attack and hurtling the vibrant combining meteors of energy straight into enemy attack. The waves of Draco meteors, that were combined with the energies of shadow ball and focus blast, ravaged the front of the blast and sent clouds of smoke barrelling out. The beams were on par with one another, matching each other on equal ground in power, but not spirit. Ichigo and his Pokémon spirits burned with all their might and in doing so burned away, the dark, hyper beam and collided right into the Dodrio, Drudigon, and Kricketune. The attack engulfed them and everyone in a giant white explosion.
"The hell was that" Yorouichi yelled as the giant cloud of flaming smoke burst through the last bit of the sky light. "That came from the main hall, wasn't Ichigo supposed to be there "Hallibel worried. Yorouichi grimaced and watched with Hallibel as the smoke inside cleared revealing three unconscious white clad people, and Ichigo sitting with all of his Pokémon. "Ichigo!" Hallibel and Yorouichi screamed as they flew down and jumped beside him. "Ichigo, you alright" Yorouichi asked only to see Ichigo sleeping deeply with his Pokémon. "Dammit lets get him out of here shall we Yorouichi" Hallibel said pressing the return feature on Ichigo's poke balls. "First though, Fletchinder you're alright Yorouichi said giving Fletchinder a huge hug as she returned her to her poke ball. "Yeah he's had a tiresome day" Yorouichi finally agreed helping Hallibel to move Ichigo out of the area. Unknown to them though above a pair of yellow eyes stared deeply at Ichigo as they left the main hall.
I own nothing obviously.
