Looking at her presence, she grows a bit bigger. Looking at her wings, its design has turned from simple structural lines to lines that seem to bend naturally as if it became small strands of wings attached to her insect like wings. Her actual wings are now pure white seeing it at her back. Yet in each flap, the ground I'm stepping on creates a lavender pulse around her.
As she tilts her head towards me, much of her face remains the same. But looking at her antennae, it ended up becoming wispy lines like her wings, "I … never felt smarter in my life Motto. I feel … mighty."
"Are you talking to me? Or is it telepathically?" I ask while I stare at the beauty of her eyes. However the stone did it to her, Cybele's eyes have developed pupils and irises closely designed like a human being. "Or what's left of her humanity…"
"Do I have to note you again mister Lokomo? Your pokemon has achieved flawless human speech. She's a vocal telepath now. The clear lavender tone of her human like eyes, the intricacy of her wing's pattern. Not fully changed but greatly enhanced. The pulse beneath us in every flap she creates! Psychic I must say!" her father exclaims his joy proudly to everyone around him.
"Motto, meditate for me to power up our bond." As I close my eyes, my mind suddenly gets bombarded with knowledge that is out of my understanding. Echoes all around my head whisper within me the skills of a pokemon trainer: an Ace class. Then she looks back to Zark and says, "Papa. I hate you for hurting me when I was still a little girl. Now I regret my past ignorance. I should not have wished for me to become a pokemon. But you did it for me anyway, but painfully wrong."
"This dad be better ready to face discrimination against me." Cybele's skills, strengths, weaknesses, and limits stick themselves within my memory.
"Hmph. You are still a piece of cake for me little butterfly. All it takes is one strike." Whatever made Zark's Scizor talk human is something I'll bother with later. Maybe Cybele did something with my mind. Stepping my right foot forward, I stare against my childhood adversary that puts our lives on the battlefield.
"Strike with your fists now!" despite its heavy armor, Zark's Scizor still moves blistering fast towards Cybele.
"String shot Scizor and dance around him within distance!" tossing her string shot forward, she evades his pokemon's bullet punch falling for our trap. Cybele continues to lasso her string around Scizor's metallic body as she quivers her wings further. The faster she quivers her wings, the stronger the pulses emanate on the ground which tells me the boost of strength that she is having at the moment.
"Don't get binded Scizor! U-turn your way out!" no amount of string could hold this Scizor back. I can't deny his popularity with the elites.
"Disconnect from your string and silver wind this guy!" flapping her wings toward the pokemon charging towards her, it takes plenty of hits against it. But what stopped me to tell her to dodge is that I'm risking a bet to help us beat him. As the two collided explosively on each other, both of our pokemon flew towards us. While Zark moves away, I couldn't get away in time as her little body hits me to the face knocking me down to the bloody floor. Cybele heavy breathing must have happened thanks to his Mega Scizor high strength. She may be flapping but it only makes me worry on how long she could last. That U-turn badly hurt her. His Scizor on the other hand eyes us furiously. Its iron fists have been punctured pretty hard by Cybele's attack. But when I look close enough, a deep metal scar nearly punctured its eye, just below its left eye. Standing up from the ground, I look at the sheer strength of the two pokemon in battle.
"This thrill. The thrill of life and death. Win and defeat…" telling that to myself, my body suddenly erupts on my being endless adrenaline that I never experienced before. But on Zark's case, I may have unleashed his inner beast through his anger. Cybele may have damaged his left eye by the collision of the two attacks.
"Bullet punch!" Zark commands with an iron finger pointing to both of us.
"Fly above Cybele!" as soon as she flies up, I never realized that Zark does something that I never even thought he would do: attack a human trainer with one's pokemon. Every hit from the bullet punch striking my body hurts so much as if I am breaking my ribs and face piece by piece until my body painfully grinds on the ground before hitting the wall. Try as I could to move, my body isn't replying at all. Everything quickly gets cold as I cough out some blood from my mouth and wounds. "Am I … dying? Hmph. I am sorry everyone. I couldn't save you Cybele. I hope that you will be spared instead. I've been the biggest disappointment ever. So, feel free to haunt me now Cybele. If you die too…"
Losing my though, losing my taste, losing my hearing, and now, I lost everything. I'll just be a forgotten human. Left to die… in pitch darkness.
(Moments before Motto died.)
"Oowowowowwoowow! It hurts!" the moment I look down at the ground, I realize the mistake Motto did. My daddy isn't attacking me. He's using Scizor to attack him head on. Every hit that Motto gets oddly returns to me too as Scizor quickly continues his assault of punches depleting my strength. The moment he gets launched forward by my enemy's iron fist one more time, I lose my balance in flying as I desperately try to stay afloat flapping around. Too bad for me I crash on the ground at my back. Try as I could to flap back up or use my newly developed mental powers, I feel the pain everywhere leaving me to agonize the pain.
Seeing my human dad walk towards me, he lightly steps his left foot at my fragile body. Each press of his step hurts me so much after all the beating that happened to me. "Like your past self Kelse, you don't know the consequence of your actions. Had you not bonded telepathically with him a moment ago, you would not have fallen with him the moment I told my Scizor to attack him." That taunting from my dad just makes me lose my faith and will to live on. "Sorry Kelse. You lose. You betrayed your brother and savior. He will die."
I scream out in agony the harder he presses his foot it to me as his Scizor watches over me until I pass out of exhaustion and lack of air. It made me wish that he just squished me dead like a dead butterfly. But what hurts me the most are the words Scizor said to me.
"You are just not ready for me. You are garbage…"
