Chapter 10: Siege in the Pokémon Lab
Our heros are in Lumiose City after leaving Meyer's house and are currently walking in Lumiose City while Serena then came up with an idea. "Hey guys since we're here in Lumiose City,why don't we go visit Professor Sycamore at the Pokémon Lab." She suggested, Everyone nodded and headed off to the Pokémon Lab. When they walked in they saw the Professor and Sophie helping what appears to be a girl around ten. "Hey Professor Sycamore." Said Ash. The three then turn around and wave. Meanwhile the Professor was still helping the girl get her Pokémon. "Now Maddie which one do you choose as your first partner?" The professor asked. "I thought long and hard about this,but I decided to go with Froakie." Maddie,while The Bubble Frog jumped in joy about it being chosen while the other two looked down that they didn't,especially Chespin who was sobbing quietly enough so no one can here. After getting her Pokedex and spare Poke balls Maddie along with her new Froakie set off on their new Journey.
"So how can I help you all?" The Professor asked. "Well we just wanted to come by and see how are you and the lab." Said Drake. "That's nice of you all. I just need to finish up this paper and we talk over tea. Sophie can you take them to the Lounge?" Sophie nodded and show them to the Lounge to rest up. Moments later the Professor walked in. "So let's get started."
Meanwhile in a abandoned storehouse Team Rocket was busy building a new machine. Meanwhile they were watching a video of Ash and Drake on the night of the Garchomp Attack. "Man those twerps...they gotten stronger." Said James. "Not only that they also got new twerps along for the ride." Said Meowth. "All the more reason to take their Pokémon and show those twerps that messing with Team Rocket was a big mistake." The three cheered and then the Garchomp in the video. "Hey remember back at the lab the Professor said he was studying a new form of evolution?" Said James. "Yeah I heard this can super charge a Pokémon to the max." Said Meowth. "If we can get our hands on data like that perhaps we can upload it to the Mech. Jessie said before continuing. "And I think there's one person who can help." She said looking at the Professor.
Meanwhile the gang was laughing about past moments when Professor Sycamore changed the subject. "So Drake we never discuss the ability you demonstrate that night." The Professor asked. "What do mean?" Drake asked with a surprise. "Your powers,when you and Ash were up on Prism Tower that night." Drake hung his head. He hoped not to explain his Aura abilities to anybody,minus Ash and his mother being an exemption. "Yeah Drake I been wondering that myself. Said Clemont. "Come on I was always surprised about what you can do,please?" Bonnie begged. Meanwhile Serena didn't have a clue on what they are talking about. Drake knew he was cornered and had no choice but to explain the whole ordeal. "Very well." Drake then stood up and started.
"Aura is a form of spiritual energy. A life essence inside all living things. From the plant life on land to the undersea life on the water,everything has Aura. From people to Pokémon they have it as well. Then there are those who can use it,transform and manipulate it itself. These are Aura Users,people who have the potential to manifest and channel Aura into physical energy. They along with Pokémon train to use their abilities,some even train all their lives. There are those who use their Aura to protect others. These are called Aura Guardians,Users who fight for justice. They and their Pokémon fight to protect against those who threaten their home." Drake explain. Everyone minus Ash was astonished by this. "Wow Drake that's very impressive to belong to a society like that." The Professor said. "It's also a responsibility to have. Back in days of Old the Aura Guardians were protectors and keepers of peace around the regions." Drake said. "What happened?" The Professor asked. "That...I do not know. Somehow they mysteriously disappeared from history. I'm guessing something bad happen to all. Now today there are very few left in the world, I amongst them." Drake said. Everyone looked sad as Drake say he didn't know what happened to them all. "So you're an Aura Guardian Drake." The professor said. Drake then rolled up his jacket sleeve and showed everyone his right forearm. But nothing was there until Drake then focus and then his arm glowed a moment and revealed a sword surrounded by a rectangular boulder that splits on all four sides of the sword,the edges on each end of the boulder were sharp edged like a claw. To anyone it looks like your average tattoo.
Everyone was mesmerized at what they saw. "Wow what is it?" The Professor asked. "Its the Sacred Mark of the Aura Guardian. Back then people can tell an Aura Guardian by this mark." Drake said. "Wow that's incredible." Said Clemont. Until Serena then spoke. "So Ash you can use Aura as well." Serena said "Well yeah..but the thing is that I prefer not to use it." Ash confessed. Everyone was surprised by this. "But why you can be a stronger person." Said Bonnie. "Maybe,but I prefer to do things my way and besides I'm sure our mom likes it if one of us is normal." Ash said before continuing. "Don't get me wrong I used my Aura on a few occasions over the years for protecting others but that was a few years ago." Ash continued. Meanwhile Serena was astonished,the boy who she has a crush on has a special power that he perfers not to use. He would rather do things his way,without Aura. Serena's heart flutter knowing that all the adventures Ash had,he let nothing change his outlook or his personality,to her he was that same boy who saved her from the forest.
"Alright I'm gonna go check on the Pokémon in the greenhouse." The Professor said. Meanwhile everyone was enjoying the tea and talking. While professor Sycamore was checking on the Pokémon a truck crashed into the building and Team Rocket came out. "You guys again, you guys are not gonna kidnap any of the Pokémon." The Professor said. "Ha who said we wanted to Pokémon here." Jessie said. "Then what do you want?!" The Professor said. "We want the head person in charge of the Mega Evolution Research." James said then threw a cube which expanded to a restraint that went around the Professor. James and Meowth then grab the Professor and threw him to the back of the truck. As they were taking off Serena and Bonnie were in the hallway at the time heading to the greenhouse when they heard everything. They saw the truck and opened the back to find the Professor tied up. They enter to get him out but unfortunately as they truck drove off the door close behind them,locking them in. "Uh no" Bonnie said. "Now we are the ones need to be rescued. "Serena said. "Now what do we do?" Bonnie said afraid. Serena thought and looked into her bag and realized a bag of pastries from breakfast this morning she then cut it up into little pieces and drop them out of truck to leave a trail.
Meanwhile Ash,Clemont and Drake realized Bonnie and Serena have been gone too long and went to the greenhouse to find them. They then see the Chespin from earlier in the greenhouse outlooking the destruction. There they noctice tire tracks on the grass,the gate smashed outside, and skid marks on the street. "What happened here?" Clemont asked. Chespin then responded "Ches,pin,pin." It said. Drake then understood what he said. "He said that a truck burst in and kidnap the Professor. Then two girls tried to get him out but were too late and the truck drove off with all of them." Drake explained. Everyone was shocked by this
"Bonnie" Clemont said worried about his little sister. "Serena" Ash said. He felt his axiality fill him,he felt his heart feel heavy with worried. He now felt the feeling come back to him. "That feeling...It always comes around when it comes to Serena...wait what does this have to with Serena?" Ash now wonders in his head but then realized now isn't the time. Chespin then calls them over to the side of the street. There they saw the trail that Serena made with the bag of pastries. Chespin then walked over and picks up one of the pieces. The boys then agreed to follow the trail hoping it will lead them to their friends.
At the abandoned storehouse Team Rocket just made it back and went to get their "guest" but when they opened the back they got quite a surprise. "Huh Twerps?!" They said. "Ha hello." Bonnie smirked. "Now we leaving with the Professor." Said Serena. "As if" Team Rocket said Then they rush in overpowering the two girls and tiring them up along with the Professor. They lay them on the floor and started interrogating them. "So what do you want?" The Professor asked. "We simply want the data to the Mega Evolution Research." Jessie said. "Never I know what you'll do with it. I'll never tell you." The Professor spat. "Oh really? So not even if I have these towards her face." Meowth said as he unleashed his claws close on Serena's face,scaring her. The professor knew he didn't having a choice,either suppress the data and have Serena come to harm,or give them the data,sparing her there he chose. "Alright,alright the SD card is in my coat pocket." James it reach in and found a blue card. "Alright Meowth if you please?" Meowth then walked over,took the card,and plug it into a computer. "Alright we are a go." Meowth said. "You won't get away with this." Serena yelled. "Oh who will saved you? The twerps? Trust me this time,it's the brotherly twerps who will get what's coming to them. Jessie threaten.
Meanwhile Ash and the others followed the path to the Storehouse. There the entrance inside was opened. And revealed their friends all tied up. "We have to get in there." Ash said. "I know but we need a plan first." Drake said. "Any ideas?" Clemont asked. "Our friends first we need to save them. Then when that's handle we deal with Team Rocket." They then snuck inside and waited but Chespin had other ideas. He smelled food close to the computer he then tired to reach the table but wound up tripping over a couple of wires and exposed himself. "Chespin?" The professor said.
"Damn" Drake whispered then gave the signal. "Ha hello twerps prepare for trouble." Jessie said. "And make it doubl-" James stop and they realized they weren't even paying attention instead they were saving their friends. Drake manage to untie the Professor. "Ha thanks big bro." Bonnie thanked her brother. "Thanks for saving me Ash." Serena said with a blush on her cheeks. Ash couldn't help but smile back "Anything for you." Serena blushed even deeper at the compliment Ash gave. "Anything for you." 'Does Ash like me back?' Serena thought. While Ash thought to himself and he didn't know why he said that,but the feeling then came back and he thought maybe the feeling made him say it.
"How dare you ignore us!" Team Rocket said. Then the computer Meowth was on started beeping. "Hey guys upload is all done." Meowth said they then ran to a cover up of a big mech. They enter the thing and activate it reavealing itself. Then everyone ran out side into the open. From there Team Rocket chased after them in a big mechanized version of Meowth.
"My Arceus" Drake said. "Ha like to see you destroy this one twerps." Jessie said. "Wow that's a great piece of engineering." Clemont said with the Professor agreeing. "Now isn't the time to admire you two." Serena said. "Pikachu go." Ash chose Pikachu "Let's go my old friend." Drake then took out his poke ball and released Charizard. Everyone was surprised when Charizard decided to make a surprise entrance and roaring loudly. "Ha,Its still not a match against our Super Mega Meowth." Said James. "Only in your little minds fools." Drake said. Team Rocket then responded by shooting a net to capture both Pokémon but both were able to dodge them easily. Meanwhile Chespin notice a large cable running behind their mech. Clemont notice Chespin and followed him. Back inside the storehouse he saw Chespin trying to pull a giant plug off a power source with no success. Clemont then walked over "We do it together,ok?" Chespin notice him and nodded and both them pulled the plug off the wall finally.
Meanwhile Team Rocket was about to attack once again when the mech suddenly stopped. "Huh where's the juice?" Meowth said. Everyone then turned back to see Clemont with the plug in hand. "Grrrr that twerp! Switch to the backup." Meowth then manage to switch on the auxiliary power which made them operational once again. "It's still moving." Bonnie said. "Huh they thought ahead I'm impressed." Drake said. Team Rocket continue to fired nets at Pikachu and Charizard while they continue to fire and Thunderbolt and Flamethrower at the mech with no damage to it. Suddenly a powerful Flamethrower overpower the mech knocking them over. Everyone then turns to see a figure in a red suit,red cloak and wears a mask in a shape of a Blaziken. Along side him was a Blaziken but in a Different form. "Grr whose that?" Team Rocket said. "Use Flare Blitz" he said. Then Blaziken then charged up and rush the mech in a cocoon of fire. The attack took out the entire head of the mech revealing the barbecued trio. "Now Charizard/Pikachu." Ash and Drake then took the chance. "Flamethrower/Thunderbolt!" Both fired their attacks at the core where the head was. It made the core unstable causing the mech to explode.
"TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" They said as they took off. Everyone cheer and turn back only to find the Blaziken trainer and his Pokémon already gone. They then returned to the Pokémon Lab back in Lumiose City. "So what was that Professor,that Pokémon." Clemont asked. "I saw it before back at the airport when I got here." Ash said. Then the Professor spoke. "I believe what we all saw was Blaziken's Mega Evolution, it was Mega Blaziken." The Professor said. This left everyone surprised to finally see a Mega Evolved Pokémon. "By the way Professor I believe this is yours." Drake said as he hands him back his SD card. "Wow how did you get it?" The Professor asked. "I got it before we left. I also deleted everything that was on their hard drive,and destroyed the equipment in case they went back." Drake said. "That's good news." Said Ash. It was still mid Afternoon and the gang realized they can still make it to the next town if they leave now. Everyone was out front when they said their goodbyes. "Well take care Professor." Ash said. "All of you as well and the best of luck on your Journey." Everyone nodded and begin walking and stopped when they heard something.
" ,pin" Chespin came out and hug Clemont's leg. "Aww Chespin really likes you Clemont." Said Bonnie. "I agree,Clemont why don't you take Chespin along with you." The Professor said. "Really?" Clemont said in a surprise tone. "Yes Chespin seems to like you and I'm sure you'll be a good trainer to him." The Professor said. Clemont nodded and the Professor gave him Chespin's poke ball. From there Bonnie pick up Chespin. "Haha welcome to the family." She said. Chespin then cheered as he was finally picked. "Clemont can I take care of Chespin for awhile." Bonnie asked. "Alright but be gentle." Clemont said as the group then waved goodbye and setted off to the next town as the journey continues. Meanwhile the figure and Mega Blaziken stood on a rooftop overlooking the group. "Knowing they are with them. They'll be safe."
"Blazi" both then nodded and headed off.
And that's that. Funny thing I meant this chapter to go off differently but then I realized It's time to introduce Blaziken Mask already. So Clemont gets Chespin,and Ash then understood more about what he's feeling. So like and comment down below and thanks for reading. This is Paradox signing off Goodnight.
