Hey you guys, just wanna apologize for not updating in a while, there was a big storm that caused a tree to knock out some powerlines for a while, leaving with us without power for a day and a half.

Terry: Actually it was me who cut down the tree.

Tre3: What?! Why?! You set this story back by a lot for doing that.

Terry: I know, it should be held back, because you use me too much.

Tre3: Fine, I'll give you a break (not really) and use some other characters.

Terry: Thanks, Oh and give me more sex with Vera. I like that :3

Tre3: We will see...

(Terry POV)

I sluggishly got off the bed, and out the room door, to find Ray passed out on the sofa, beside the bottle of Whiskey.

"Well, I guess he figured out a way to get wasted."

I approach the door. "Who is it!?"

"Open the fucking door!" they respond.

I look out the peephole, to see a very grumpy face.

"Fuck, its Clay."

I slowly open the door, but he immediately bursted in, knocking me back.

"Everybody get out here right now!" he yells.

And like a swarm of Volbeat to an Illumse, we gathered around him quickly. Even Ray got up!

"Now yer all have a very special mission today, so my soldiers will teach ya how to use guns, prepare a strategy, and practice for the task at hand. Yer have 12 hours, starting now before you go to Nimbasa. Any questions?"

"Yes, after the mission, how long are you going to let us stay here?" Dutchess asked.

"Well since yer not paying for anything, or contributing to our resistance, ya will leave the next day, unless ya wanna do me some more favors." He responded.

"Damn I liked this place, dude." Ray whispers to me.

"Now that that's done, I have something to give yer each, that could prove useful for yer mission. Walter! Bring the stuff!" He yelled down the hallway.

Walter quickly scurried down the hallway, with a mysterious box.

"We have some things to give you that we aren't using. Mostly because we have more humans than Pokemon or Anthros here." He says, putting the box on the floor, and rummaging through it.

"Greninja! Step forth!" He shouted.

"Y-yes?" Ray said, stepping closer to Clay.

Clay quickly got an item from the box, and gave it to Ray.

"That there is a Smoke Ball. You might need it if yer get in a situation. Don't worry about it just being one, it somehow respawns in yer pocket after every use." He explained.

"T-thanks." Ray responded, before retreating back.

"Delphox!" He yelled next.

Roxie slowly stepped forward.

"This is a Shell Bell. I found it in a cave near the beach. It will help ya regain heath if you should get hurt."

"I'm not gonna let that happen!" Dutcher interrupts.

"Shut the hell up and let me finish!" Clay yells at Dutcher.

Dutcher then quietly sits on the sofa, not wanting anymore trouble like yesterday.

"Shell Bell will also help if you get tired at any point, also" He says, handing it to her.

"Thank you Sir." She responds, before joining Dutcher on the sofa.

"Liligant!" He yells.

"Yes?" she responds sheepishly, as she stepped toward him.

"I have an Grass Gem for ya. They only last once, but when you use it, yer powers will become super strong!" He tells her, before handing it her.

"T-thanks." she responds.

"What's with all these shitty items?"

"Bisharp! I have something special for ya!" He says, pulling out a shining object.

"Did I think too soon?"

I approach the heavyset man. "Yes?"

He then drops the object in my hand, and it turns from purple to red, and I suddenly feel my body get slightly tired, but my blades begin to dimly glow...

"Ah, yes. This is called a Life Orb. It seems to have already bonded with yer!" He says.

"Bonded? What?" I say, struggling to stay on my feet.

"Yes, Life Orb will dramatically make ya stronger and stronger as you fight, but it will slowly eat away at yer heath, so I recommend yer to not use it for extended periods of time.

"Ok," I respond, as I slid it into my pocket, causing it's effects to go away.

"Oh that's not fair! How come he gets the coolest item!" Dutcher groans.

"If yer don't shut the fuck up, I'm gonna shove an item up ya ass! Now let me fucking finish!" He yells at Dutcher, causing everyone to gaze in terror.

"Now, Gardevoir, and dickhead Gallade, I have something exclusive for yer two!" He says, then goes into his box, and pulls out a smaller box, with two peculiar stones inside.

Dutcher and Dutchess slowly make their way to Clay, curious to know what he had.

"We don't have a use for these, since we don't have a Gallade or Gardevoir her, so These are for ya, the Galladite, and the Gardevoirite. Leonardo the Anthro-Lucario will show yer how to use them."

"What do they do?" Dutchess asked.

"Mega Evolution. I can't explain it very well, but it makes ya evolve in battle, granting ya more power and even new abilities."He responds.

"That is so cool!" Dutcher says.

"Dude! You gotta have one for me, right? Ray asks.

"No." Clay responds.

We all examined our new items for a few minutes, curious on how they work.

"Well now, yer all hurry up and eat breakfast, and Walter here will drive you all to the training grounds. We have prepared for you already." Clay says, then exits.

"Well, I guess we should hurry and get ready then." I say.

Vera and I quickly make breakfast, as everyone else got showers or got dressed.

By the time we finished cooking, everyone was done, and we quickly ate breakfast, and followed Walter to the van.

We quickly arrive to a giant, desolate field with many U.R personnel, waiting to train us for the mission.

As soon as we got off, they quickly escorted us to a firing range they set up for us. They gave us a set of rifles, and automatic weapons.

They quickly gave us a brief tutorial about gun safety, reloading, aiming, and firing for each one, and soon we were out there shooting bottles, targets, and moving robots.

We were out there for hours, until they figured we would be good to go, and we actually played a game of paintball with the soldiers to see how we would do.

I did pretty well, I dodged a lot, and shot some soldiers, but was quickly defeated by an super fast Accelgor.

"I don't see why we need guns. We are part Pokemon!"

Afterward, We all were split up and trained by specific Soldiers.

My teachers were an Anthro-Scizor, and Anthro-Sceptile.

They helped me further understand the power of my arm blades, and trained me how to control the power of the Life Orb.

Roxie was among other fire types, and they taught her a powerful fire move, causing a large blast of fire, and burning up everything it touched. The only problem was that she had to take a short rest after that.

Ray also learned a new move, blasting water from his body like a cannon shot, destroying his targets, as well as tiring him out after he used it.

The Anthro-Lucario steady trained Dutcher and Dutchess about Mega Evolution, telling them that they will only Mega Evolve if they can believe in themselves, that they can complete whatever task at hand.

Dutchess had come close to doing it, but she couldn't stay focused. And Dutcher was just hopeless.

After a while, Ray, I and Roxie watched them try, along with other soldiers. We finished early.

"Dude, I'll go get some popcorn, and Roxie can pop it!" Ray joked.

Wasn't a bad idea though. We have been out here for 6 hours, tired and hungry.

Eventually they give up on them, since they were running out of time.

"I tried. I tried so hard!" Dutcher said.

"It's Ok, Mega Evolution took thousands of years to master, I wouldn't expect you to understand in one day." The Lucario said, reassuring Dutcher.

Suddenly there was a huge pink explosion around Dutchess, that instantly changed her body.

"I did it! I did it!" She squealed.

Her normal dress was now much larger, and her chest horn had now split in two. Her hair also grew a bit longer as well.

We all stood there amazed by her new form.

"Mega Gardevoir, isn't that somethin." Clay said, stepping out of the crowd.

"Sir! Requesting to review the plans for tonight's mission!" The Lucario said.

"Yes, everyone come to my office, if yer are involved with tonight's mission. Everyone else, go the fuck home, or to yer positions." he said, then directed us to follow him.

We follow him out to the front, where Walter was waiting with the van.

We all quickly hopped in, and we followed Clay, with his emerald Lamborgotti.

"Damn, I didn't know Clay was that rich." Dutcher said.

"The guy owns just about everything, I bet he has a whole collection of cars like that." I respond.

We quickly arrive to his residence, that sat atop a large hill.

"This used ter be my gym, but I had to do some modifications to live here. I can still access my mines from the bottom floor, so it really makes my jobs even more convenient for me!" Clay said, polishing a emerald statue with his sleeve.

He then lead us into a backroom, and some of his personal assistants took out a map of Nimbasa City.

"We are not very sure were Elesa is hiding, but she did send a message to us, for help at the amusement park, confirming that she is still there." A human assistant said.

"How long ago did she send you the message?" The Lucario asked.

"About 6 hours ago. She was being chased by Gamma Grunts." He responded.

He then took out a skinny pointing staff, and pointed at the map.

"Now, since we are not completely sure of her location, we will divide you into three separate teams." the Human said.

"The alpha team will be Dutcher, Terry, and I. We will be in charge of the main offense, should anything go wrong. If all goes as planned, we will be in charge of scouting the main areas of the amusement park." Lucario said.

"The delta team will be Dutchess, Lester(Sceptile), and Roxie. You will be in charge primarily on finding Elesa. She is your main priority." He adds.

"And the omega team, will be Vera, Raymond, and Carlson( Chestnaught). You three will be in charge of looking out, and securing the perimeter. You guys are very important, because if something should happen, we all fall back to you to escape. You guys will be positioned outside the gates. "He finished.

"Dude! What the hell?! I should be an alpha! I am a fucking Greninja!" Ray yelled.

"No, we need you as an omega because you have excellent long-range attacks, so you will get a sniper rifle, and shoot at the stray Grunts." The Lucario responded.

"But I want in on the action, dude. Dutcher and Terry get to be in it!" Ray exclaimed.

"No! You are an omega! So deal with it!" The Lucario yelled.

Ray retreated back, defeated.

"Now that we are all on the same page, we leave in an hour. Prepare yourself any way possible, and we shall meet at the entry gate of Driftveil Drawbridge." The Lucario said, before stepping off.

"Well you guys, this is it." I say to my friends with some nervousness in my voice.

"Yep, but we are gonna make it through this, I know we will." Dutcher says.

"Well lets get something to eat, and before we run out of time, I need to have a quick session with Dutcher!" Roxie said.

"Something to eat doesn't sound bad. Lets see if Walter knows any good places." I respond.

Dutchess then walks out the room and finds him.

"Hey could you take us somewhere to eat? My friends and I are starving!" She asked.

"Ok, where would you like to go?" He asked.

"I don't know, somewhere we can get our bellies full." She responded.

"Ok, I know the perfect place! Go get your friends and we will go." He said.

Dutchess quickly ran back to us, with a big grin on her face.

"Guys, Walter is taking us out to eat! Come on!" She says, tugging Dutcher's arm.

We all quickly follow, with no question, just hungry stomachs.

We soon get into the van outside, and Walter takes us to the famous Driftveil Buffet.

I was so hungry, I grabbed everything possible and threw it on my plate, resulting in a huge stack of food. I quickly sat down with all my friends, and we gobbled up everything we got.

But, even though we ate so much, I just had to go back for some dessert! They had so many cakes, pies, ice cream, and other treats.

"Dude... I-I think I overdosed from food..." Ray moans.

"Me too, Ray." I say.

"Hey you guys! Your mission is about to start in 10 minutes! Get yourselves together and get in the van!" Walter yells.

"I'm bloated as fuck. I need a nap..."

We all dragged ourselves out the restaurant, as Walter payed the man at the front.

I slink into my seat, and Vera rests her head on my lap, falling asleep. I lazily look out the window, as the moon begins to rise over the mountains in the distance, and the sky becomes filled with billions of bright stars, with an occasional small cloud.

I can't sleep, thinking about this mission to save Elesa, and find my father.

It was a pretty long ride, as I was the only one awake besides Walter in the van, and as I watched my friends in their slumbers, I wondered.

"How long would they stay? Will they help me fight in the future? Why did Vera eat twice as much food as I had."

All these questions buzzing around in my head, as the large red bridge came into view.

I watched as we arrived at the bridge gate, and there were a lot of soldiers, tents, jeeps, and Clay, who stood there, waiting for us.

"Ok guys, this is it. I wish the best of luck for you all." Walter said, as he parked.

I quickly shook my friends, waking them up. "Come on guys, it's time."

As soon as we stepped out, we were bombarded by soldiers, trying to suit us up, and give us weapons.

We all got specific suits for our bodies, mine was full of pockets, lightweight and non-restrictive and jet black.

All of the suits were jet black, except Ray's because of his Protean ability, his suit changes colors depending on him.

We do some last minute exercises, and chat with our teammates, Leonardo the Lucario, Carlson the Chestnaught, and Lester the Sceptile.

As the town clock hit 11:00 Pm, a soldier at Clay's order, pressed a button, opening the gates to the bridge.

We all scramble onto the jeep, with Lester driving as the rest of us pile into the seats, or the trunk.

"I wanna wish yer guys the best of luck. Bring Elesa here safely, and we will all have a big party in honor of ya. I know yer can do it, cause I see potential in yer kids. Just don't fuck up!" He said with a slight smile. "Admiral! Lower the bridge!"

And suddenly, the bridge closed, becoming flat, for the Jeep to drive across.

I gaze across the bridge to the other side, covered in pure darkness, without the bright lights of Nimbasa City would have on the night sky, but rather hazy smoke in the distance.

"Are you guys ready?" Lester asks, looking back at us.

We all silently nodded our heads, and Lester hit the gas, driving us onto the bridge, leading into complete darkness, with only the moon and the stars as the only light.

"We are turning off the headlights. We don't want them to see us coming." Leonardo says.

We quickly blaze across the long bridge, and onto the dark side, once known as route 5.

Carlson quickly gave us each a pair of night-vision goggles, as we stopped on solid land.

Leonardo quickly pulls out an xtransever, and tells Clay It's Ok to lift the bridge.

As the bridge begins to lift upwards again, Ray began to panic a little.

"Dude! Why are they lifting the Bridge!" He exclaimed.

"Hush! We are doing it to make sure nothing goes back before us. We got to make sure the City stays safe." Leonardo whispered.

"Hey, what happened to the fourth guy who was gonna come?" I whispered.

"He supposedly got sick, but I think he was just bitching out on us." Lester responded, cocking his gun.

"Damn."

We all prepare ourselves as the jeep slowly rolled through the dark, quiet route, as we all stayed alert to the surroundings.

It wasn't long until we found a desecrated sign: Welcome to Shitbasa over the Nimbasa name.

As we came closer to the city, we looked in awe of the destruction of the once popular city. Many buildings were crumbled, fires everywhere, and many, many dead bodies of people, Pokemon, and Anthros lying on the streets.

"Oh my Arceus, how could they do this!" Dutchess said.

"They just don't care about anyone anymore." Lester answered.

Lester parks the Jeep behind the amusement park, hidden behind thick trees.

"Ok guys, this is where we split up. Alphas come with me, Deltas, head to the gym first, and omegas, stay here and keep watch, report to us if something happens.

I quickly grab Vera, and pull her into a passionate kiss. I don't know what could happen.

Dutcher and Roxie follow suit, but Roxie tries her best not to leave Dutcher. We eventually get her off of him, and Leonardo, I and Dutcher leap into the darkness.

(Ray POV)

"What the hell! I want to be an alpha! I don't want to just sit here with Vera and Carlson! I bet they can handle this lame shit. I'm gonna go help the alphas!"

I then quietly slip away without them noticing.

Gunshots are being fired somewhere north, so I quickly head in that direction, thinking my friends could be in trouble.

There is a large Ferris Wheel laid onto the ground, with some of the booths on fire. I quickly spot Dutcher shooting at some stray Gamma Grunts.

Terry was right behind him, firing away, but they both soon ran out of bullets, and the Grunts raised their guns to open fire on them.

"Here's my chance!"

I quickly make some ninja stars with my water, and leaped into the scene, flinging them at the pathetic humans, and killing them instantly.

"Ray?! What are you doing here!" Dutcher yelled.

"I came to help, I saw you needed it dude." I replied.

"You are supposed to stay on post! You abandoned Carlson and Vera!" Terry yelled, frustrated.

Suddenly Leonardo shows back up.

"I found a note Elesa left us, but-" He cuts off at the sight of me.

"Why are you here?! Shouldn't you be on post!" He yells angrily.

Suddenly we hear gunshots in the distance.

"Leo! Come in! The Gamma's found us! We need AHHHHHHH!" Carlson yelled through the xtransever.

"The omegas are under attack! We must help!" Leonardo said.

Suddenly Terry grabs my tongue-scarf, and flings me into the ground.

"If anything happened to Vera, I swear to fucking Arceus I will kill you!" He roared.

"You fucking betrayed the team, and now we have to clean up your mess!" Dutcher yelled.

"I'm Sorr-" I tried, before all three of them yelled "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

I know I really fucked up, and now set the mission back by a lot.

"Fuck!"

I would like to announce that from this Chapter forwards, I will no longer update as frequent as I do now. I want to write another fanfic a good friend of mine suggested, and I considered the idea, plus a personal twist. So if you want to keep up with this story, then please, follow it so you can stay up to date whenever I add a new chapter.

Terry: What is this!? You just gonna leave us!

Tre3: No, I just want to branch out, don't worry Terry, I just want to alternate days when i write this story, and my other one.

Terry: How long is the other story gonna be?

Tre3: Not long, I promise, but as I write it, this story will get something new about every 2-3 days.

Terry: Well, I guess I better go cut down another tree...*Runs out*

Tre3: NOOOOO! Trees are important! Not your cutting toys! *Chases* Vera won't like this!

Well that's it for Chapter 12, stay tuned for 13, and have a happy 4th of July!
