Chapter 10: The First Move

The five looked at each other silently. Sun stood up and said, "We should go tell the others…"

Gold asked, "Tell them what? That we're screwed? We have nothing to fight these guys. They can take our pokemon and turn them into Shadow pokemon. What can we do?"

Darkrai said, "Well, we know they can't corrupt dark or ghost types… so we got that going for us."

Sun frowned and said, "Something's been bothering me about that…" Everyone looked at him and he said, "If that is the case, how was Arceus corrupted? It can be a dark or ghost type."

Lillie replied, "Yes, but it needs to actually be holding the plate of that type. The plates were near him, yes, but it wasn't actually holding it."

Sun nodded, but said nothing. Calem stretched his arm and said, Come on, we do need to go tell the others."

They walked out of the room and heard a pokemon battle going on. The five ran outside, expecting the worst, but saw Brendan and Dawn battling, with everyone else watching. Red and Green seemed to be cheering for Brendan and Black and White were cheering for Dawn, while everyone else just seemed to be enjoying the battle.

Sun sighed and smiled. He led the group over to everyone and May saw them first. Her eyes widened and she said, "Hey guys, look who woke up!" Everyone turned and saw Sun, and everyone jogged over to them. Dawn and Brendan put their battle on hold to greet Sun.

Sun just rolled his eyes and said, "I was a little tired, I'm sorry."

Cheren, whose arm had healed nicely since Gladion shot him, said, "Really? You slept for three days and you were just 'a little tired'?"

Sun just shrugged, but then Lucas noticed that Darkrai was standing next to Gold. Lucas said, "Darkrai, why are you out of your pokeball, again? You've done this a lot recently, and every time Sun seems to be there…" Everyone looked at Lucas, astonished that he might be accusing Sun of something, and he said, "No offense Sun, not accusing you of anything, but it just seems a little weird."

Sun said, "No offense taken. And yeah, I realize you might have a couple questions about that so, go ahead and ask 'em. The five of us will answer."

Lucas raised his eyebrow and said, "So they know, but you couldn't tell me back in Kalos?"

Darkrai replied, "I specifically asked him to not tell you what was going on. Sorry my friend."

Lucas nodded and was about to say something when Dawn said, "Does this have to do with you being tackled by some Deoxys human hybrid?"

Everyone was immediately on high alert, asking lots of questions like, "Are you okay?" "What is a Deoxys-human hybrid?" "Why didn't you tell us?" and many other questions when Sun yelled, "QUIET!"

Everyone silence and Sun sighed and said, "I'll answer your questions, but one at a time please."

Blue said, "Okay, then I'll ask one general questions that should cover everyone's questions. What is going on!?"

Sun told the whole story, starting from the beginning, and explained everything, Darkrai, Gold, Calem, and Lillie adding anything Sun missed. The group just stared at them, eyes wide. Red then mumbled, "So that's why you guys were asking about New Island…"

Sun nodded and said, "That everything. Sorry about the secrecy guys, but Darkrai and I swore to tell no one…"

Everyone nodded and Green said, "Don't worry we forgive you, but we do have a problem on our hands…

Suddenly, there was a voice behind them, "Yes, you do have a problem…" Everyone turned around and saw a Deobrid in armor staring at them, flanked by thrity others. The one in armor spoke again, "Now, who's first?"

Sun stepped forward and said, "Depends on who the coward in the mask is."

The Deobrid laughed, which sent a chill down everyone's smile, and it took off its mask. IT looked up again and Sun said, "So… Barry you decide to show our ugly face again."

Barry smiled. "You call this," he said gesturing at himself, "Ugly. I call it power."

Sun heard Lillie behind him, "Sun…" He turned around and saw more Deobrids climbing on top of the Aether Mansion. He looked around saw they were surrounded from all directions. He backed up, until he was shoulder to shoulder with his friends. He said, "Everyone, it's time to fight."

With that, the Deobrids charged towards them, while Barry put his mask back on, and Sun and his friends sent out their pokemon and were fighting for their lives. The fighting raged for a few minutes when he heard a scream from behind him. He turned and saw one of the Deobrids had grabbed Lillie. He ran straight at it and tackled it. It dropped Lillie and went to grab Sun, but Sun had so much adrenaline coursing through his body that he grabbed the Deoxys looking arm, and ripped it off. The Deobrids screamed, but suddenly the arm grew right back. It reached for Sun, and just before it did, Sun heard a gunshot and the Deobrid dropped to the ground, dead.

He heard Gladion behind him, "So they can repair their bodies, but die from a gunshot… good to know." Sun turned around and saw Gladion had drawn his pistol and was firing at the Deobrids. Sun heard Lucas call out, "Sun!"

Sun turned and saw Lucas holding a sword, a sword Sun had used to kill back at the Corps of SIlence's compound. Lucas tossed it to him and Sun said, "Didn't realise you kept this."

Lucas shrugged, but then went back to ordering his pokemon, though Sun noticed he wasn't using Dialga, only Darkrai and his others. He looked around and saw none of his friends were using their legendaries. He went to send out his Solgaleo and Lunala, but the pokeballs didn't work. He heard Darkrai in his mind say, "Their jamming the signal to your legendary pokemon's pokeballs. I was lucky to not be in my pokeball at the time they attacked."

Sun started to cut through the Deobrids, when he thought, "Why are they just jamming the signal instead of capturing them with the Shadow balls?"

He heard a new voice in his head say, "Because they haven't developed it yet."

Sun thought, "Who's this?"

"This is the real Deoxys," the voice replied.

Sun thought again, "How do you know they haven't?"

Deoxys replied, "With them being half me I can read their thoughts without them noticing."

Sun was cutting through the Deobrids when he heard Barry say, "I think that's enough." Suddenly the Deobrids all used Teleport to leave. Barry remain and he said, "Goodbye everyone. We'll meet again, and trust me when I saw, we won't be merciful." Then Barry teleported away. Sun looked around at his friends, all of them looking beaten, and said, "We need a plan."
