Here's part 2 of the Castelia Crisis!
Burgh had stopped in the middle of the busy street. The Plasma Grunt had seemingly vanished into thin air. He did have one advantage.
The crowd was moving against him. All he had to do was to look for whoever was going against the crowd as well.
"I'm not trained for this." He muttered, throwing Whirlipede out.
"Whirili!" The curled Pokemon cried out, turning to Burgh for orders.
"Get to the Plasma Grunt!" Burgh said, over the noise of traffic. "Stop him from getting away."
Whirlipede turned and rolled surprisingly fast down the street. People already knew to get out of the way. Whirlipede would stop for nothing and never cared if anything was in his destructive path.
Only there were too many people still in its path. The Grunt also had the advantage of being faster in the crowd. Whirlipede would never catch him. Burgh stepped to the right in another alley in an attempt to cut him off. Rotors began to sound through the streets. People began to look around for the source, but found nothing.
Whirlipede's eyes traveled to the side buildings, its barbs could easily hook onto the glass and metal, with a lot less resistance.
Veering sharp right, Whirlipede easily gripped the side of the building. With people spectating the fast moving ball of a centipede, Whirlipede gained on the Grunt rapidly.
But the Grunt wasn't out of tricks.
The Grunt's Darumaka charged, barely missing Whirlipede on the wall. It had jumped off the building, for a second, then regained its pace.
The Darumaka fired an Incinerate which impacted Whirlipede. It winced at the pain, but kept its course.
Suddenly Burgh stepped in front of the Grunt, stopping him. He turned to flee in the other direction only to find an angry Whirlipede.
"Your journey ends here." Burgh said.
"Has it?" The Grunt smiled, devilishly. "Actually this is my LZ!"
The rotor sounds grew stronger.
A bright light enveloped the three and caught Burgh and Whirlipede off guard. Both trainer and Pokemon shook off the effects of the light. When they recovered, both looked skyward to see a large helicopter moving through the streets and a smirking grunt waving at them, uncoupling a harness from his waist.
Whirlipede let out a cry of distress.
"It's alright." Burgh assured it, "Hopefully Havok has had better luck."
Havok
I swear this is bad luck or something.
"Touko" threw her Pokeball out, releasing a Blitzle. I had Sawk out in the field. Before Sawk got a chance to even act, "Touko" ordered a Spark.
Blitzle charged forward, electricity cloaking its body as it collided with Sawk.
"Counter it!" I shouted.
Sawk met the blow head on and dealt the damage, but suddenly charges rippled around him, slowing his movements.
Damn, paralysis.
"That's what I wanted it to do!" Touko said, evilly. "Now Blitzle, use Flame Charge!"
This time, Blitzle struck Sawk who couldn't move. Flames danced around the field.
"Sawk, use Low Sweep!"
With the movement he could, Sawk had knocked Blitzle down, slowing it a little.
"Don't do this Touko." I said, holding back tears. "I don't want to give you more pain."
"You're the one giving me pain! Use Spark again!"
"Don't!" I shouted in defiance.
Blitzle's charge impacted Sawk.
"Counter!"
Sawk, through his restraints smashed Blitzle into submission. The zebra Pokemon landed in a dusty heap at Touko's side, exhausted.
She returned it in a rage. "You just got lucky Havok. My next Pokemon will set your Sawk straight!"
Dewott lashed out, holding its Razor Shell ready.
"Get it!"
Dewott's shells hit Sawk. He was powerful, but Dewott was too powerful.
"Are you still not convinced that I'm too powerful for you?" Touko smirked, the red in her normally blue eyes seemed to glow brighter.
"The battle's not over." I reminded her. "Snivy could teach you a lesson or two."
"Snivy!"
"Take out Dewott with a Leaf Tornado!"
The barrage of leaves impacted Dewott and it recoiled.
"Use Water Gun!"
I looked at Snivy, who was in no position to dodge. "Take the hit!"
The jet of water had hit Snivy, however doing very little effects. Snivy seemed in full spirit.
"Recover your damage with Absorb!"
Snivy sent a multitude of green fingers that trapped Dewott and sapped the energy from it. Touko shouted for Dewott to break free, but it simply couldn't. Snivy finally released Dewott, who lay unmoving.
"Hhmph!" Touko said, frustrating. "Pansear! Show this Snivy, who's boss!"
Pansear spat out an Ember, Snivy evaded, jumping over the flames.
"Grab it with Vine Whip!"
Snivy grabbed Pansear's mouth with the vines and shutting it. Now Pansear couldn't use its Fire attacks.
"Use Scratch!" Touko commanded.
"Snivy! Use one of your vines to restrain Pansear's arms!"
Snivy kept one of his vines on the mouth and wrapped the other arms together.
"Pansear, Bite Snivy's vines!"
The monkey clamped down on Snivy, making him emit a scream of pain. This couldn't do.
"Snivy return!" I pulled out his Pokeball and pulled him back. I took out Liepard's and threw him onto the field.
"So Pansear can defeat both? Havok, you're a poor tactician." My opponent taunted. "Use Lick and paralyze it!"
Liepard was hit by a tongue, but luckily, Liepard avoided paralysis.
"Take it out with Cut!"
With a swordlike sound, Liepard's claws uppercutted Pansear, sending it upwards.
"Incinerate!"
"No you don't! Liepard! Use Sand-Attack!"
The clump of sand flew in Pansear's eyes who panicked and spat the flames upward. They arced down, impacting Pansear with full force.
"Take it out with a Fury Swipes!"
Repeatedly, Liepard's claws raked Pansear. It had fainted and Liepard was still going. Even it was standing, paws pressed to the fainted Pokemon, ready for another blow.
"Enough!" I shouted, he got off and slinked down.
"That's impossible! Lord Rood told me that I would victor over you!"
Touko was continuing her monologue when I noticed something I never had before.
Meanwhile…
Bianca and Iris were still standing on the pier. She was still worried about her Munna. Hopefully it was fine.
Iris and her little dragon fidgeted with each other nervously. Then she jumped when her Xtranciever rang, from Burgh.
"Hi Burgh."
"Hello Iris." Burgh sounded exhausted over the line. "I still can't find the Munna and Havok now has gone missing. It's getting very late and I fear the worst may have happened."
"That's not the worst." A booming dark voice said behind them. Suddenly, rotors sounded and a small helicopter came into sight, facing the two bewildered girls.
It was nothing like what they've ever seen.
The helicopter was small wings with two rotors rotating on top of each other. A large three barreled rod extended from the nose and the wings had a pod, which Iris could hear sizzling flames swirling around. Finally larger rods with fins and explosive energy lined the sides of the wings. A long tail was at the back.
Bianca looked half scared to death while Iris and her dragon stared back, hoping the machine would waver.
"The worst is about to happen." The gunship's speakers shouted and later released a maniacal laugh before a clicking sound was in one of its wings.
"Focus Missile armed." The computer told the pilot.
"I'm not going to shoot you. Your little friends, taking each other out are my targets." He laughed again before it accelerated into the night, towards the city.
"What in Arceus' name was that?" Burgh shouted.
"I'm not sure! But they mentioned two people fighting each other. Do you think one of them is Havok?"
"That helicopter looked a little too tough. I'm afraid we have to simply sit and pray."
Iris and Bianca's expressions were grim at Burgh's words.
Don't miss the final chapter in the Castelia Crisis. Havok might have defeated "Touko", but she is still not free from whatever's controlling her. Plus the gunship is complete and on its way to cause a crisis in the busiest metropolis of Unova. Part 3 will reveal if Castelia still stands, or crumbles into ruins.
If you guys are wondering what the gunship looks like, it is loosely based off the Russian Kamov Ka-52 Alligator. I picked that design over the AH-64 because I thought it was too long. Also in consideration were the Rooivalk of South Africa, HAL of India and the Mi-28 Havoc of Russia (No reference to the character on the last one)
BEHOLD DA WUNDERWAFFLE!
