~IRIS~
"Come on, guys, let's get off this roof and find the others." I said. The door opened, but on the other side, the area was covered in blue moss. It crackled with electricity. I cried out and smashed my finger against a button until the door closed. "What's going on?!"
"Iris!" I heard Cilan's voice. A video intercom turned on next to the door with Ash, Cilan, and Georgia on the other line. When I stepped up to the screen, I could see Pikachu and Rylee unconscious in the background.
"Cilan, what's going on?" I said.
"The moss from the third floor is rapidly growing and its out of control!" Cilan said. "It doesn't appear to effect humans in any way, but it's a totally different story for Electric- and Ground-type Pokémon."
Georgia shoved Cilan out of the way and inched her face extremely close to the camera. "If anything happens to my Vanilluxe, you'll be sorry!" she cried. "YOU HEAR ME?!"
"Uh huh." I said, rolling my eyes.
Oshawott screamed next to me. I looked to see the moss leaking through the door.
"Guys, get back!" We ran to the edge of the roof. I gasped when I saw the city below. Moss covered almost the entire area. "We've got to do something!"
I brought out Excadrill and Emolga.
"Excadrill, use Focus Blast! Emolga, Hidden Power!"
As they charged up to attack, the moss spores wafted in their faces. They fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Ah! Of course! A Ground-type and an Electric-type!" I said, thumping myself against the head. I returned Excadrill and Emolga back into their PokéBalls. The moss continued moving towards us.
~TPPOV~
The screen went black. "It must be the moss." one worker said. "What will we do?!"
"I have an idea." a voice said.
Cilan and Ash turned around. "Rylee!" they cried.
Rylee's eyes opened and she put her weight into her arms as she tried to stand. Cilan rushed over and helped her up.
"What are you talking about?" Ash said.
"The moss. It has a weakness: Ice-type moves." Rylee said.
"What? How could you know something like that?" Malveaux said.
"That's not important right now. The city is in danger and the moss needs to be stopped. I'm going to go and find Iris-"
Rylee took half a step and doubled over in pain. She clutched her torso and cried out.
"Rylee, don't. You're still hurt." Cilan said, resting a hand on her back.
"Don't worry, Cilan. I heal quickly." Rylee gave him a look. Cilan caught a glimpse of orange and pink and he understood.
"Notify Officer Jenny immediately!" Malveaux said.
"Oh no! The Ferroseed!" a worker said.
The Ferroseed causing the rogue moss slammed into each other and bounced off the walls.
"They absorbed too much electricity from the stones. They're in pain." Rylee said. "We need to transfer the electricity out of their bodies!"
"But how are we going to get to the third floor?" Case said. "We don't have any Ice-type Pokémon here at the laboratory."
"Yes, you do." Georgia said. She brought out Beartic and Rylee brought out Articuno.
Malveaux grabbed some containers. "Georgia and Rylee, will you assist me to the third floor?" he said.
"Of course." Georgia and Rylee said.
"Cilan, we'll keep an eye out for Iris." Rylee said. Cilan nodded.
"When Pikachu is feeling better, we'll join you." Ash said.
~RYLEE~
We traveled down the building to the third floor. Every spot of moss we came across was blasted by Beartic's Ice Beam and Articuno's Ice-type moves. We reached the third floor, where I could see the Ferroseed among a bunch of moss. Beartic and Articuno blasted it away, and on the other side of the room was Iris and Vanilluxe.
"Wow, for something who hates Ice-types, you're handling one pretty well." Georgia said.
Malveaux set up a machine and when he pressed a button, electric bonds reached out and wrapped around the Ferroseed. They slowly made their way to Malveaux and were inserted into the machine. Suddenly, the Ferroseed glowed as tremendous waves of electricity flew off their bodies.
"Get back!" Malveaux cried.
The Ferroseed ejected from the machine.
"What happened?" I asked.
"The Ferroseed are unable to control the electricity." Malveaux said. "We need to figure out how to drain it from them."
"Leave that to us!" Ash stepped in with Pikachu. Ash called out Pignite, who used Flamethrower on the Ferroseed. They fell to the ground. Ash returned Pignite to its PokéBall. "Okay, Pikachu! Go!"
Pikachu ran forward and touched its tail against on Ferroseed. The electricity absorbed into it. Cilan called out Stunfisk and it did the same. The Ferroseed returned to normal. Pikachu and Stunfisk released their stored energy up and out the window.
"I must thank you all for your help." Malveaux said. "You helped to save my research facility."
"Iris, have you ever considered becoming an Ice Master?" Georgia said. "You and my Vanilluxe sure were in perfect sync back there."
"As much as I appreciate the offer, I think I'll pass." Iris said.
Georgia chuckled. "Well, that's good. Or else, how would I be able to crush you if you're not a Dragon Master?"
Iris smirked. "We'll just see who gets crushed."
