Extra #2 - Tobias—Hell
A/N: Apologies for the long wait. I've been slacking on Mountain of Ash lately. This chapter is an extra featuring everyone's favorite Legendary Trainer, Tobias.
The Eon Pokemon hummed, lightly, keeping a steady pace. It reached its destination, finally. The area, which was too hot for any human to reach safely, was blazing. Mount. Chimney was unstable, and it was the perfect time to catch it.
Darkai alerted him to the disturbance. It tracked the beast—Tobias didn't know how and didn't question it. They were high atop the volcano now, keeping a fair bit away.
Tobias smirked, then chuckled. The heat was intense, even at the height they were at, but he remained calm. He had done several times with many legends—each time more thrilling and heart-stopping than the last.
He came with a plan, though, not risking anything. The beast had the home-field advantage, and that would not do. Latios, even with its typing, even with its raw power, was not suited to take high-powered Fire attacks boosted by the area.
It lay dormant, watching over the area for the most part. The many Pokemon who inhabited the area revered it like some God. "Draco Meteor," he ordered coolly.
Latios hesitated for moment—he wasn't stupid—he knew that the volcano would become more unstable, even erupt. Latios craned his neck, now looking at his master, and let a worried hum.
"No need to worry," Tobias said in a composed tone. "Do. It." he finished firmly.
Latios nodded slowly. He shifted his neck upward, and let out a fierce cry. A sphere of dark energy formed in his mouth, and after a few moments, he shot it toward the sky quickly. Once it reached high enough, it broke apart, and multiple spheres rained down—
They were intercepted by multiple Flamethrower attacks. Grrrrr—rroarrr! Thundered throughout the area. Tobias smirked. He knew it—he knew it would protect the area. It, along with the rest of the beast, was devoted to keeping order where ever they went. The thick ash, however, made it difficult to spot the beast. No matter, he taught Latios a move for this exact situation. "Defog."
Latios lightly hummed, and it started to glow. An aura shrouded him, giving off a beautiful bluish-white light. Moments later, some of the thick ash was blown away. Tobias came face-to-face with the beast—Entei. It growled, revealing its sharp canine. "Defiance? No matter. I'll have you—you damn beast!" he shouted.
Something in Entei snapped, and it unleashed a powerful Flamethrower. Tobias didn't even need to command Latios to dodge—the dragon shifted its lithe body to the side, quickly, and the Flamethrower blasted past. Tobias felt the heat of the attack, and it made him more excited. "Yes," he growled, excitedly. "You're the real deal! Come on, don't just stand there like a coward! Face! Me!"
Entei took him up on his offer. It jumped from the rocky ledge it stood on, using an attack to boost his speed. Tobias knew it would do that—it was such a prideful creature. Entei was just about to collide with the dragon, but—
It was in mid-air like some force was keeping it from falling to the ground below. It tried to struggle, but couldn't move. It opened its mouth, attempting to let loose another fiery attack, but it was slammed shut. Latios' eyes glowed with psychic energy.
"Will have none of that," Tobias mocked. Entei only growled. "Let's say... we move this battle elsewhere—"
They vanished.
When they reappeared, Latios, who still held a firm hold on the beast, flung it toward a tree. The impact caused Entei to growl painfully. Tobias knew it wasn't enough, though. The power of a legend far exceeded anything that a human could imagine. A Pseudo, as powerful as they were, were not spoken in the same breath as these freaks of nature.
Entei continued to struggle against the invisible force, not giving up. After a few moments, it stopped and closed its eyes. Tobias, who held a curious expression, got of the Eon Pokemon and stood next to it.
"I never thought you, the prideful volcano beast, would be defeated that easily," Tobias joked. "It's sad. I thought you'd be more a challenge," he said, revealing an empty Ultra Ball from his cloak.
Entei's eyes flashed open, and it used all the power it had. Grrrr—roooooar! Latios concentration wavered, and it flinched back, releasing its hold. Tobias took a cautious step back. The beast loomed over them, growling.
A smirk appeared on Tobias' face. "Good," he said, placing the Ultra Ball back inside his cloak. "Let's start."
"Latios," Tobias called out. "Dragon Pulse!
Multicolored draconic energy formed in Latios' mouth. When it was ready, Latios' blasted it with a ferocious cry.
Entei dodged, quickly—far too quickly. Tobias looked on confused until he figured it out. 'Extreme Speed.'
The Volcano Pokemon continued, and struck Latios, causing it to crash into a tree. "Payback from early?" Tobias said. He turned around and saw that Latios was starting to rise again.
"Keep your guard up, Latios," Tobias said, turning back to Entei. When he focused on Entei again, he was shocked at its appearance. An aura—one that was fiery and intense—enveloped the beast. "Overheat," he breathed in awe.
"Latios, move!" Tobias exclaimed. An intense white fire came from the mouth of the beast. Latios, at the last second, moved to the side. The attack took out several trees, leaving a wide trench where they once were. Tobias looked at the devastation and chuckled—he even began to laugh out loud.
Tobias returned his attention to Entei, who looked tired out from the powerful attack. "You," he pointed at the beast, still laughing. "You'll be a great addition to my team."
Tobias unclipped a Pokeball and pointed toward the Eon Pokemon. Latios took notice and questioned his decision with a hum. Tobias smirked, then spoke. "I want it to go to sleep knowing that I'm now its master," he intoned.
The capsule made an unidentified sound, and Latios was sucked in. He grabbed another one. "Darkrai," he muttered.
The Darkness Pokemon appeared and glared at Entei, who was still recovering from the powerful Overheat attack. "Dark Pulse, then use Dark Void," he commanded.
A sphere of dark energy was Darkai's grasp, and it tossed it forward. Entei, like before, dodged the attack with Extreme Speed, but—
A purple and black ball met Entei, but it managed to dodge at the last moment with the increased speed. "Multiple Dark Void, now," he commanded.
On cue, Darkrai created another purple and black ball, but this one was much bigger. Around a dozen miniature black balls exploded around the area. Entei only had a few seconds to react, and it decided to dart away with Extreme Speed.
"Not this time," Tobias spoke. "Use Disable!"
Darkrai's mysterious blue eyes glowed beautifully. It locked on to its target—Entei. It failed to notice Tobias' command, which proved costly. It began to slow down, and a black ball struck it. It started to become drowsy. 'Was this it?" it thought.
It fell on its side, and the last thing it saw was the trainer coming toward it, Ultra Ball in hand. It tried to growl, but it couldn't even manage that. "Like I said before," Tobias spoke. His tone was cocky. "You would be mine you damn beast."
A/N: That's it for today! Review, ask questions, and I'll see soon.
Note*: Yes, Entei can learn Extreme Speed. It was an event move back in 2011. And I know that Latios can't learn Teleport, but that's not a big deal, I hope.
