"Pokémon telepathically talking"
Round Two
We were finally, finally, going to escape. Yes! Alakazam had worked Meloetta in, and said we had a better chance with it helping.
After the emotional past few hours, we had gathered and smoothed out all the details.
We were ready now.
Everyone was in position, now we were just counting down the seconds. The signal would be going off any second now.
The lights had been called "the signal" because it was when our action started, but really, it's more of a timer, I guess.
Come on, come on! This was taking forever!
Ugh.
"Alakazam?"
"Still impatient I see."
"Nevermind, how much longer?"
"About, three seconds."
"Yes!"

The fluorescent lights flickered off, plunging our surroundings into darkness. Triggering phase one of our plan, distract and detect.
The outline was, Zorua would be disguised as a regular lava grunt. Using this, it would sneak through a small hole we managed to get through the wall. It would then proceed in finding the nearest security camera, and transforming back.
We were hoping Zorua would attract all the attention and allow Dragonite to slip out. Dragonite is a little big for the hole, so, Alakazam will psychically teleport it through the opening. After that, Dragonite will be on grunt duty. It's job, destroy any Team Lava member that comes near.
Once that's done, Lucario will slip out, it fits through the hole, and stealthily travel the halls looking for the control room. It will be using it's aura to search for the directing area. if Lucario succeeds, the control room will be obliterated, and the technology will, according to Alakazam, shut off.
During all of this, Meloetta will be out, aided by it's invisibility, searching for means of transportation when we escape. It's going to be on the look for a car, plane, or multi-terrain, hopefully.
Bulbasaur will be with Dragonite, fighting stray grunts, and keeping Dragonite going. It's healing knowledge will be put to good use.
Finally, there's me. The "essential" in this plan. My role will be to go with Lucario and help with the destruction of the main control center, but that's not all. After that's finished, Alakazam thought it might be wise for us to have the information on all of our experiments. That's what I'll be doing, storming the laboratories and attacking scientists.
Although that's all important, my crucial role in this project is freeing the other pokemon. While training, Lucario and I had discovered rooms full of pokeballs, all containing pokemon forced against their will. Many were injured, and some, dead. Finding this, Alakazam decided that our freedom would be their's too, and now, it was the most important part.
I was the only one that could do it, because pokemon, can't work pokeballs. If they could we would have sent Lucario or Dragonite, someone with more power, but we couldn't.
Lights off, I heard Zorua's small chuckle upon transformation, then the scuffle of awkward human steps.
Good, phase one complete, now phase two.
Replacing the soft steps of Zorua, mighty flaps from Dragonite's wings let me know all was going well.
A small flash of light, then phase two was complete. The powerhouse was out.
Next, I barely heard the padded feet of Lucario. Getting the message, I jumped out of my hiding spot and dashed towards the sliver of light.
"Ready?"
"More or less."
I smirked, desperately trying to break the tension in the air. This was it, everything depended on this plan succeeding.
Lucario nodded and ducked through the opening, me right behind.
Harsh red alarms brightened the scene, and I knew Zorua succeeded. Down the hall, in Zorua's direction, a mass of grunts could be heard yelling.
"Get it!"
"Come on lazy, put your back into it!"
"It's a Weezing now, get them!"
Zorua's aura was tinted with mischief and glee. Lucky. I wish I was having that much fun.
"Come, a major technological output is coming from this direction."
Pulsing aura into my eyes, I saw what Lucario was talking about, and started running.
"Aura enhanced senses are helpful!"
"Yes, especially in times like this."
Oh Lucario, taking the wrong things seriously. That was meant to be a joke. Oh well.
Using more aura, I pushed ahead, for a little while, and broke down the door.
Greeting me were five scientists, including the one woman I'd met before. Her eyes narrowed as she recognized me, and I couldn't help the growl that escaped my lips.
"Seems you've become one with the pokemon, you're barely human now."
"How dare you!"
"At least you still talk."
That's it. I leapt forward, my fist ablaze, and punched her with all my strength. She flew back into the computer and slumped to the floor.
"Who's next?"
All the scientists eyes bulged, and they ran. I silently snickered, they were in for a surprise. Lucario was waiting.
As they neared the exit, a blue pulse of aura blasted them off their feet. An Aura Pulse.
"Well, can we get back to business?"
"Yeah, some payback was in order."
"Kiara..."
Lucario seemed worried, and I gave it a little grin.
"Lucario, I'm kidding. I was just mad at her for...before."
"Oh..."
"It's okay, let's do this."
Now Lucario shared my same smirk. This was going to be fun.
Calling my aura, my body lit up with a blue glow, and two spherical energies filled my palms. I tossed the Aura Spheres, and an explosion rang through the air. Soon, Lucario joined me, and the control center was destroyed within minutes.
"Let's go."
"I'll be back soon with the pokemon."
Lucario nodded than dashed back to Dragonite's post. It was time for me to gather the information, and free the pokemon.
I closed my eyes, extending my range of Aura Sight, and found three data centers and labs to my right.
Perfect.
Fueling my body with aura once more, I pumped aura into my palm, and placed it on the wall. A Force Palm detonated and blew a hole in the wall.
Like in the control center, some researchers turned to face me, eyes wide in surprise.
"Hello."
"What are you doing here?"
"How did you get through the wall?"
Hm. They must not know of my status as a fail.
"Want to find out?"
My tone of voice brought fear into their aura's. A bright red hue tinting the once calm blue.
"Why...why are you here? What do...do you...want?"
"Some information will be all."
"On what...?"
"Me."
Confusion was now all that showed on their faces. They were oblivious as to who I was.
"Seriously, none of you recognize me?"
I laughed maliciously and then, one aura in the back flared.
"I know you!"
Uh-oh. Time to get the info.
"You're the fail, the one that was our top agent!"
The auras of the grunts flared, and I filled myself with aura. Illuminating the room in a pale blue, the aura signatures around me dimmed, and became red-tinted. Fear was filling their hearts.
"Light em' up."
Please give me some feedback! I would appreciate it! Sorry for the delay, internet and all. Sorry!
Zorua signing off.
