"You lose" Lance said, extending his hand. He spread his fingers, and the Unown holding Yellow started pulling in all directions at the same time. She gave a gasp of pain and pressed her eyes shut.
There was a loud crash. Yellow felt herself falling, hitting the ground after a couple of seconds. She rolled over, dazed, to see Lance scrambling to his feet next to her, Unown flying around in disarray, Silver running over to Blue, Emerald and Gold sprinting towards her, with Golds Sudobo, Exbo and Aibo, the latter on Gold's shoulder, and Emeralds Sceptile.
"The gloves!" she yelled. "Aim for the gloves!"
"Enough!" Lance roared from next to her, sending a stream of Unown to intercept Gold and Emerald. Gold saw it coming and yelled something she couldn't hear to Emerald, who recalled his Sceptile. Golds Pokémon clashed with the Unown, but him and Emerald kept running.
"Alright, now!" Gold yelled. Emerald threw Sceptiles pokéball straight down just as the Unown surrounded them, blocking both from Yellows line of sight. Then she saw Sceptile jump up, Emerald perched on its neck.
"The gloves!" she said again. Lance did a swift motion with his right hand, and some of the Unown diverted their attention to Emerald, grabbing him. He let himself fall back, while Sceptile shot straight forward.
"No, stop it!" Lance yelled, sending his Aerodactyl forward. Sceptile dodged and Yellow had to roll aside to avoid being hit as the fossile bird swooped by. She came around just in time to see Sceptile hit Lance with a Leaf Blade attack, severing several of the cords on one glove and making the other fall of completely.
The battle stopped as the Unown swarmed around, confused by the loss of leadership. Yellow hesitated only a second before getting to her feet, putting a hand up to stop Gold and Emerald from attacking, other than knocking out Lance's Aerodactyl.
"Once every few years" she said, looking at Lance, her throat dry and voice slightly more raspy than usual. "A child is born in Viridian, with special powers. Giovanni had those powers, and he used Pokémon for evil purposes. You have those powers, and you use them for evil."
"I do not-" Lance interrupted, but Yellow continued anyway.
"You use Pokémon to further your own goal! You forced these Unown to fight for you, to fight a battle for your own sake!"
"I do this for the good of all Pokémon!" Lance screamed in a rage, trying to patch together the severed glove.
"You did all this for personal revenge!" Yellow shouted, tears in her eyes now. "And you used a machine to force these Unown to help you!"
The Unown had stopped swirling around now, instead focusing all their attention on Lance and Yellow. She felt a bit nervous when she noticed, but looked up at the biggest concentration of them.
"This man used you!" she yelled to them. "He wanted to force you into doing this, I can feel your confusion now that he is no longer controlling you!"
There was a stir in the swarm around them, and several of the Unown seemed to shift their attention towards Lance. She could still feel confusion, but also perhaps a big of anger? Pain?
"I only did it to save you and all other Pokémon!" Lance countered, fixing his eyes on Yellow, who felt a cold knot form in her belly. "From people like those!"
This, however, did not seem to work. The Unown suddenly all united in resolve, and she felt a massive surge of collective anger go through them. It was exhausting her strength, but she forced herself to remain standing, to stay awake.
"Uh guys?" she heard Gold say. "Those Pokémon are getting a bit tense and-"
A sound interrupted him, and they all twirled around to see a group of the Unown spinning fast in a circle behind Lance.
"What?" he said, frowning, as several other Unown joined in. Then, suddenly, he stumbled towards the ring of Unown, as if he lost his footing. "They are creating a black hole?"
He backed a few steps towards Yellow, who was feeling really dizzy by now from using her abilities so much. She saw Lance slowly start to glide towards the hole between the Unown, and she felt herself follow, slowly...
