Here we go... Chapter 10.

-Chapter 10: Spiritomb's Downfall-

-Grovyle's POV-

Connor held me back from Celebi after she was possessed by Spiritomb, and I knew that I should stay back, but every fiber in my body said that I need to help her. Connor raised an aura barrier, and my dad backed him up, "Spiritomb might possess you… They are unpredictable… And short-fused, as Connor would probably say."

Celebi was curled into a ball on the ground, and Galvantula shouted, drawing our attention away from her for a moment, "Hey guys, Victini's still getting his soul sucked by the demon princess! How the heck can he possess two pokemon at once?"

Celebi's voice was looped over itself a hundred times, with different voices emanating at once, giving me major chills, "You call US a demon PRINCESS?!"

She floated up, launching energy balls at Galvantula, and then I saw shadows moving along the wall, "Connor…?"

Connor looked around, and his shoulders dropped, "Aw, Crap…"

Sableye began pouring from the walls like a wave, using shadow travelling to bypass any barriers that Connor put up, and Tyranitar growled, "Connor, put up a Barrier around you guys…"

Connor complied, placing barriers around all of us, including Celebi and Galvantula, and Tyranitar's eyes began glowing as he underwent a further evolution while he was enveloped in a purple sphere. He grew even taller, now being at least ten feet tall, and his chest plate expanded into four irregular stone growths, and his tail elongated and grew spikes on the end. His eyes glowed red, and he began glowing as he roared, "Outrage!"

Pure energy and heat pulsed from his chest, which glowed red as well, and he sprinted around the chamber, incinerating any Sableye that were within five feet of him into vapor. Not even ashes remained. He smashed those that resisted, and after outrage ended, Tyranitar looked dazed, like he got hit in the face. He toppled over, "Ugh… Confusion…"

The Sableye kept coming, and our Sableye was enveloped in that purple sphere, his chest crystal expanding. He ran around, smacking other Sableye with the oversized gem, and I began slashing at them as well, protecting Tyranitar, who kept trying to attack me because of the side effects of Outrage.

The Sableye seemed to be endless, and they weren't letting up...

Gah! Need to get out of here!

-Connor's POV-

Those stupid Sableye… I forgot about their ability to travel through walls… They began pouring in, and I had to work on snapping Tyranitar out of his confusion. That's one of the side effects of using outrage: It makes you confused, so that you attack everything, and sometimes yourself. Grovyle was holding up alright, Basileus was guarding Victini alongside Galvantula… Alright. Looking good… Now to deal with Celebi.

I watched Celebi, who was possessed by the Spiritomb, and she turned to Grovyle. She raised her arms, floating into the air, and began gathering light. I was familiar enough with grass types to know what followed; Complete darkness followed by a solar beam, one of the most powerful grass-type moves… I shouted, "Grovyle, watch out!"

Grovyle looked at Celebi, who shook her head for a moment, as if fighting against the Spiritomb's command, but her eyes glazed over again, and she launched the beam of light at him. It travelled so fast, there's no way Grovyle could dodge it… I couldn't even put up a barrier in time. Before I knew it, Basileus had jumped in front of Grovyle and used Protect. The Solarbeam hit the blue shield, and it cracked slightly, but held. Basileus stumbled slightly, and Celebi-spiritomb flew down, and began fighting hand to hand with him.

Not smart, Spiritomb...

Then I realized why he chose hand-to-hand… As soon as Basileus grabbed Celebi's arm in preparation for a counterattack, Spiritomb's smoky body took over Basileus. His eyes turned a dull yellow like a boiled egg yolk, fading from the crisp shade of yellow that they were before, and he turned to Grovyle, "You will perish, Grovyle…" And began fighting.

Celebi fell to the ground, seemingly broken from the Spiritomb's possession, and I picked her up in one arm to protect her.

I knew that Grovyle wouldn't be able to fight his dad, so I decided to interject. I threw up an aura bubble around Basileus, and he looked directly at me, not fazed. Basileus-spiritomb looked straight at me, and smiled, "Release me human, or else…"
He sprouted a leaf blade, and raised it to his own neck, "Basileus dies…"
Galvantula leapt from out of nowhere onto the aura bubble and pulled it apart, "Oh, no you don't!" He slipped into the hole he made and shocked Basileus/Spiritomb so hard that Spiritomb retreated back to Victini.

I released the aura bubble, and Galvantula wiped his hands together, "What would you do without me?"
How did he break through the aura barrier…?

He smiled, "One of my abilities is infiltrator. I can bypass protect, detect, and aura barriers."

My thoughts trailed back to Galvantula's abilities that I knew of on Terra, and I knew that Infiltrate wasn't one of Galvantula's abilities, and it didn't allow a pokemon to bypass protect and detect... "No it's not… And that's not even how it works!"

He smiled, "It is in this world, buttercup. Deal with it."

He put his leaf hat on while he smirked slightly, and turned to the wave of Sableye as he glowed, "Check this out… Electric terrain!"

He began glowing in the dim light of the chamber, and ran forward as electricity pulsed from him, through the Sableye and into the walls, and the stone began crackling with electricity, and he nodded diligently, "Now no more stupid Sableye can get in here."

Grovyle seemed slightly annoyed with that, "Why didn't you do that in the first place!?"

Galvantula shrugged nonchalantly, "I wanted a little challenge."

I looked around and since there were no more sableye coming, I decided that I needed to do what I never wanted to do… Ever. "I have to send Spiritomb back to his odd keystone…"

I passed Celebi to Tyranitar as I walked over to Victini in spite of Celebi's protests, and I saw that he had a small purple aura around him, and I grabbed his hand. Immediately, Spiritomb's voice shattered my thoughts, "YOU do not banish US! WE will destroy YOU!"

I gathered my mind, and using the power of my aura, shouted back, "No! I hereby banish you to the odd keystone for your misdeeds! You will be banished there until a greater power releases you!"

Spiritomb's voice faded, "NO… We… Will NOT!"

He began being pulled into the little rock next to me, and he wailed, "No! We will not go back there! Please! Do not send US there!"

I shook my head, "You had your chance…"

Then, nothing.

Celebi's voice rang in my head after Spiritomb's possession ended, "Connor, you're smoking!"

Looking at my arms, I saw what she meant. My skin was bright red and steaming in the cold air, like a pot of boiling water with a light shining through it. I stood up, but stumbled and fell, drained of all my strength. Galvantula caught me, "I gotcha, mait. Don't you worry a bit." Basileus grabbed Victini, and I murmured, "Let's get back to Dragon Mountain."

As if on cue, six more Golurk pounded into the chamber, my aura barrier gone due to my lack of strength from banishing the Spiritomb.

I threw the Draco pearl onto the ground with the little strength I had, and grabbed the others' hands as we were transported back to the place we called home.
