Thanks for the reviews! Hows your weather because there's about a foot of snow outside where I am. Enjoy and review please!
The Driftveil Drawbridge reflects the lowering luster of the sun and glints a beautiful red. Diadem rumbles appreciatively and Angel nods her agreement. Skyla twists her body to look at the awestruck face.
"Pretty cool aye? It's also called Charizard Bridge because it's so magnificent. Come on Elesa, speed up. We'll race you Angel!"
The arcanine beneath doesn;t need to be told twice and lunges forward ahead of the two gym leaders. The child tightens her grip as the pokemon bounds off the ground over the threshold of the bridge with an excited howl. The gleeful noise turns pained as a blast of scalding water forces the creature to the pavement.
Angel tumbles and feels the rough exterior of the concrete scratch at her skin. She skids to a stop; reeling backwards as her violet eyes open to the blue expanse of water below her. Her arm grapples for the pokeball at her waist and a beam of red light encases the pokemon before it breaks the surface of the water.
Calamity breaks free of her capsule to bring up a protective field to shield the child from the officer's growlithe that is being catapulted towards them.
"Kid! Get out of here. There's a feral pokemon." An officer warns as a herdier barks at the figure before it.
The cream and blue equine creature rears. It stomps at the ground before kicking up its hind legs. Jets of water collide with two of the police force's pokemon; sending them flying towards the edge of the bridge.
"Mystic, curtain call. Dive bomb!"
The black dragon twirls into the air before dropping and plummeting to catch the pokemon tumbling over the edge. The platinum mounts her absol and the white guardian weaves through the pokemon being thrown backwards towards the figure trapped in the center. Angel tightens her grip when Calamity jumps to avoiding the scalding water shot their way and holds in a muffled scream as her pokemon spins.
"Kid, what did I tell you?" An officer mumbles in the background as the duo slides to a stop in front of the pokemon.
"Stop it! You're going to hurt someone!"
Shut your mouth human! You're all the same! I will bring justice to the pokemon living here!
Calamity rolls her eyes up to her human and raises the ridges of her eyes in confusion. Angel shrugs her ignorance and is jerked to the side as another canon of water is propelled towards them. The absol grumbles her annoyance and the child gives a patient rub.
"Remain calm Calamity. Mystic can only catch so many pokemon before he gives out," Angel reminds. She turns back to the pokemon, "Who are you? What do you want?"
As if I will submit to a human hatchling. I, Keldeo, will free the pokemon here of your kind's filth. You think you can get away with destroying the river without any consequence? You're lucky my friends aren't here or we'd stomp you into the ground!
Angel lightly smacks a palm over Calamity's mouth before a rude remark can escape and looks Keldeo in the eyes.
"We can help you Keldeo. Show us what's wrong with the river and we'll have it fixed."
The creature takes a step back in its surprise before snorting, steam erupting from its nostrils. H-how did you under… No matter! As if a human would keep its word. Leave or be forced to!
Calamity dodges the double kick and a ball of shadowy plasma explodes into the pokemon's side. Keldeo snorts and charges, tail glowing as water swirls around it. The absol ducks but Angel is caught in the chest and forced off her pokemon.
Calamity yelps and turns dilating eyes onto the pokemon before her. Growls stream through her teeth as her horn elongates. Bursts of white lights dissipate and Destin kneels next to his fainted trainer. Arms gently prodding the area that got injured and the borrowed Spiritomb barely pops out of its stone so it's able to fit between the pavement and Angel's supported body. Another burst of light casts a shadow over the bridge, blocking the red rays of the sunset. Keldeo back steps as it stares up at the seething dragon before it.
Giratina roars, the force behind it physically forcing the pokemon back. The equine takes the hint and bounds into the air. It jumps over the threshold of the bridge and bounces off the surface of the water towards the mountains. The dragon huffs and twists to look at its trainer.
The child pushes up slightly, bringing an arm to nurse the forming bruise across her chest. Calamity approaches and nuzzles her face, neck fur wiping away the debris from the bridge's concrete.
"I'm fine. Destin, Giratina return." Angel sets the pokeballs back into place and bids Spiritomb back into its own.
Skyla and Elesa storm through the barricade that the police had made, Zebstrika leaving a scorch mark in her wake, and jump off the pokemon to examine Angel.
"Cynthia's going to kill us," Skyla whispers, horrified.
"Hush Skyla. Are you okay Angel?" Elesa asks as she helps the child stand.
The platinum nods and looks up at the blonde, "Something's wrong with the river. We need to send out a flyer. Mystic!"
The dragon hovers over, lifeguard duties over. It leans its main head in to listen to its trainer before leaning a wings down to allow its trainer access. "I'm going to see what's wrong."
"Waiti! Angel!" Skyla yells as Calamity is returned and the dragon takes off. She turns to Elesa, "How does Cynthia handle this kid. She goes off just when you catch up."
"I guess you can say that, with her hydreigon, she's a bit… flighty?"
"I don't even know if that can be classified as a pun."
…
The hydreigon flaps down onto the side of the river bank. Its trainer descends off her dragon and touches lightly onto the ground. The brutal pokemon sniffs at the air and recoils at the fumes entering his nose. His three heads shake violently, twisting side to side to clear their head.
Angel's violet eyes catch sight of the trail of purple slime edging it's way along the far shore of the water. A snapping of fingers has the dragon zooming across the river. A small head dips into the polluted water and brings a sample of the sludge over to its trainer.
The child runs two fingers through the slime and grimaces at the feeling of oil. She wipes the pollution onto the fabric of her shirt.
"Someone spilled or dumped their waste here. This needs treatment," Angel murmurs to her pokemon as she straightens from her crouch. "Bring me over there. I want to see the real damage."
"Halt young lady. Your mother's going to slaughter us and you can't just go running off!" Skyla exclaims from the swanna hovering overhead.
Angel rolls her eyes at the overbearing duo and points towards the tendrils of murky purple seeping through the water. The gym leaders glance at each other before the white bird creature plummets above the water. Skyla dips a hand in before flicking it away from her skin at the uncomfortable feeling. Elesa glares as the sludge makes contact with her face.
"Yuck, this is disgusting," The redhead notes and her pokemon rises higher to protect her white feathers from collision with the the pollution.
"I'll inform the police when we get back to Nimbasa. Shame they left already," Elesa states. "Come now Angel. We can't do anything to fix this, unfortunately. "
The child follows orders begrudgingly and mounts her dragon. Her face contorts, lips twisting back in a grimace as pain flares in her abdomen. Skyla glances over when the platinum hunches over.
"Hey, that was a hard blow you got. Are you okay?"
"Fine," Angel insists. "Can we go? The faster we get there, the quicker we can get this mess cleaned up." The child directs her pokemon away from them toward the lights of Nimbasa.
