'First Blood'
Red, Willow, Blue, Devin and James
"… Well this is awkward." Willow muttered as he gazed into the face of his double.
Greye shook off his surprise and narrowed his glare on the five resistance members. "What is this?" He roared. "Shoot them!"
"No!" Willow cried desperately. "Shoot him! He's a liar!"
The guards present were so confused that they simply pointed their guns at each other.
Greye glanced at his guards. "You useless scum! I shall ensure you all hang for your stupidity!"
"Well that's not very nice…" Willow smirked and drew his Aura pistol. "Reach for the sky handsome!"
"Why did you call him handsome?" James asked in confusion.
"Because I am." Willow replied smugly.
Greye wore a blank look and drew a Pokeball from his belt. "You rebel filth shall not hinder me any longer!" He turned to his bodyguard. "Initiate priority order Alpha."
The prison guards who where seemingly on "Willow's side" looked to him expecting an order from him too. When he didn't say anything the Guards and Soldiers aimed their weapons at Willow.
"Umm… what he said?" Willow said meekly knowing that he had been compromised.
Greye remained emotionless. "Rylte, kill these traitors."
The ball exploded into light and instead of the familiar figure of a Riolu forming from the light, a Lucario stood with an expression that made even Willow shudder.
"Rylte, eliminate them." Greye repeated his order.
The Lucario's eye's glinted and two long glowing claws formed in each of the Pokémon's paws.
Blue activated her radio. "Yellow! Plan B do it now!"
A massive explosion sent debris flying forcing everyone in the lobby to fall to the ground, as Yellow fired a tank round into the prison wall.
Willow took this opportunity to take out Rylte the Riolu's Pokeball.
Rylte appeared in a flash of light smirking. 'RAWR! Dreadlock boy is going down!' He cheered as he charged into the Lucario.
Greye's Lucario to Willow's horror became a blue blur and dodged Rylte's crazy charge. Before the Riolu could react, the Lucario swiped at the smaller Pokemon with its claws.
Willow saw a flash of red and Rylte hit the ground. Willow felt time slow to a crawl as he saw his partner fall to the ground. He felt his body moving to grab the Riolu but a pair of arms grabbed him to yank him back.
James and Devin where using the chaos to escape through a hole created by Yellow's Tank and where trying to drag Willow while Blue opened fire on the Unovan Guards that had started to rise. Some had drawn their own Pokeballs to bring their teams into the fight, but as Blue started firing at them they were forced to dive behind the receptionist's desk to avoid the stream of bullets.
Willow cried out to his partner who lay on the ground unmoving, but for the first time… the Riolu didn't reply.
He saw the Lucario walk over to the Riolu and raise his claw to deliver the final blow.
"RYLTE!"
And then the Lucario plunged his blades down.
Yellow
Yellow jumped out of her tank as she saw a shadowed figure approaching their position.
"Red!" She cried in happiness as she ran towards the figure.
As she got closer she realised that the figure wasn't her brother.
The Unovan Soldier pointed his rifle at her face. "Sorry little girl, I'm not who you think I am." The Soldier cocked his weapon ready to shoot her.
Yellow stumbled back, falling to the ground. "W-wait! No!"
The Man cackled wickedly before a loud bang echoed through the trees.
Rylte
Just before the Lucario could land the killing blow, Rylte suddenly rolled to avoid the blades and the Lucario's claws embedded themselves into the marble floor of the lobby.
'Dodge this dreads!' He roared unleashing a burst of blue energy at the Lucario at point blank. A small explosion propelled the Lucario into a wall.
Willow let out a sigh of relief seeing his crazy partner on his feet and followed Devin and James out of the breach in the prison wall. Blue followed them, still firing her gun to force the prison guards to hide.
Rylte zipped around the lobby pummelling several guards and using his agility to dodge bullets. Rylte struggled to ignore the injury on his arm caused by his Lucario counterpart. This whole thing seemed mad… even for him!
A flash of light made the room tremble and Rylte found himself face to face with a Tyranitar. The huge green monster towered above him, eying him like prey.
Rylte just smirked and cracked his knuckles before charging at the Tyranitar. He slid along the marble flooring to avoid a swipe from the creatures enormous claw, he continued sliding until he got between the creatures legs. This caused the Tyranitar to try and turn around to try and crush his small opponent. As the creature turned it's body its large tail tore through another section of the prison wall as if it were paper resulting in more debris falling from above and some hitting the prison guards.
"You useless fools!" Greye bellowed at his soldiers. "Get those resistance scum! Ignore that rat!"
As Greye ranted, Rylte had climbed up the Tyranitar's back using the defensive spikes in its back to scale the creature. As the Tyranitar violently shook its body to shake the Riolu off, Rylte agilely had climbed onto his head.
'Goodnight Frieza!' Rylte cheered as he raised his tiny fist that shone a bright blue with Aura Energy and slammed it down hard right between the behemoth's eyes.
The Tyranitar swayed slightly before collapsing onto several screaming prison guards.
Rylte the Riolu turned to shoot a smile at Greye as his Lucario rose up from the rubble to stand by his master's side.
Rylte smirked at the Lucario. 'I hope we can have a rematch someday Buu!' Rylte chuckled before rushing out of the wrecked Prison after his master.
Blue let out a small yelp as a bullet whizzed past her head. This small distraction caused her to slip and fall in the wet mud. Blue struggled to get back to her feet, the thick mud impeding her movements. Then a hand reached out to her.
Blue looked up to the hand's owner.
Red stood above her smiling brightly. "Come on Blue! Let's get out of here!"
Blue blushed, Red risking his life to save her? He was a hero! The famous leader of the Unovan resistance, called in by the deposed Unovan Government to put an end to Team Plasma's activities in the region. Although he failed to end the rise of King Greye Harmonia, he was still a beacon of hope.
Blue smiled and accepted Red's hand. For the first time in years Blue felt… happy.
A loud gunshot echoed from Yellow, Jean and Mallori's position and everyone froze in horror.
"Mallori…" Willow muttered as he rushed desperately towards the tank.
Yellow was trembling in fear as the figure standing above her feel to his knees, still wearing his twisted expression before he fell face down into the thick mud.
Yellow raised her head to see her rescuer.
Behind the corpse of the soldier, stood a shell-shocked Jean… holding a smoking shotgun. Jean's hands trembled before the shotgun slipped from his hands and hit the ground with a deathly thud.
"I-I just killed someone…" He muttered his face turning pale; he staggered back and leaned against a nearby tree.
Yellow slowly stood up and walked over to him. "Jean…" She said softly.
At this moment in time Jean was shaking his head in denial. "I killed someone…" He repeated in a hollow voice.
Yellow eyes started to water and she hugged him. "Thank you…" She said weakly holding him tighter. "Thank you."
Mallori slowly approached them with a frying pan in hand; she quickly noticed the dead soldier and Yellow comforting Jean. She connected the dots and sighed.
It was at this time Willow, James and Devin arrived on the scene.
The moment Devin saw Yellow hugging Jean he felt his heart plummet. He suddenly felt something that he was unaccustomed to feeling… jealousy.
"What happened?" Willow panted seeing the dead Unovan Soldier.
"Jean shot him." Mallori replied sadly gazing at their pale friend, who seemed lost from reality.
"Get into the tank!" snapped Red as he arrived with Blue. "They're coming!"
Willow immediately rushed over to Jean and gripped his shoulders. "Jean! Listen to me! I can't imagine what you're going through right now, but we have to go!"
Jean shook his head looking Willow in the eye. "Can we get some marshmallows back at base?" Jean joked and forced a weak smile.
Willow managed a smile "Mate, you're one of the toughest people I've met."
Jean nodded as the fire returned to his eyes. "Of course I am! I am an American!"
"A what?"
"Never mind!" Jean cried and he grabbed his shotgun, glancing one last time at the dead soldier. "Hope you rot." He spat as climbed into the Tank.
Willow flinched as several bullets ricocheted off the tank. He quickly composed himself and climbed into the tank after the others. Just before he could close the hatch Rylte dropped down from the trees.
'I-went-to-Starbucks!-It-had-all-these-celebrities! And-I-was-amazed-that-everyone liked-this-particular-Starbucks-cuz-they-are-everywhere!' Rylte said so quickly Willow barely understood a word, but he smiled anyways.
"Good to see you too Rylte." He said, allowing the Riolu to crawl inside before he closed the hatch.
Inside the tank Yellow shot a worried glance at Jean inside the tank as she pressed down hard on the accelerator.
Red placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Nice work Yel… nice work."
The Unovan soldiers quickly fell behind the tank and the resistance escaped into the night.
