Chapter 14
Dragonspiral Tower
It's been about a month after Katelyn and I confessed our love to each other. We haven't physically changed much, but we have had some trouble with people not accepting us. In one memorable moment, we were chased out of a town because someone found out. I might have punched the guy in the face… And it might have been because of that we were chased out of town…
Now we're inside the dimly lit Twist Mountain, which has helped with our training immensely. We are almost to the exit, and Icirrus City is very close to Dragonspiral Tower. I still remember what N had said, and truthfully, it scares me. He scares me, I mean.
"Hey I think I can see light up ahead!" May says suddenly, which brings me out of my trance. I look up and see that there is light.
Finally Katelyn says, exhausted. We can finally get out of this stupid mountain! as she said this, she glanced towards me, knowing that I was feeling scared of what was to come. May and Bryce continue walking, while Katelyn and I fall behind.
Hey, are you alright? she asks me. In response to her question, I shake my head.
"Truthfully, no." I state while taking her hand. "But so you don't have to worry about me, yeah I'm okay." We see Bryce and May waiting for us at the exit, so we hurry up.
We were going to go to straight to Dragonspiral tower, but the Gym Leader stops us on the bridge leading up to the massive tower.
"Why can't you let us by!" Bryce exclaims.
"Because," Brycen, the Gym Leader, began. "I don't know if you are strong enough to enter. If you enter and are badly hurt, then the blame would be on me. The only way you can enter is if you battle me and win the Gym Badge."
"Fine," I say, exhausted. "Can we rest up, battle you, then go into Dragonspiral tower?"
He thinks about this for a while. "I guess that would be okay." He replies.
"And to make it go by faster, can we just use one Pokémon? We are kind of in a hurry." I state, not wanting to tell him what N had said to me. I felt a dark presence, and if I am right, then something from my past will be with him.
"I don't see why not. One Pokémon each. You can battle me tomorrow." He states.
We walk away from the tower, and walk to the Pokécenter. Darkness arrives sooner than we expected, so we get rooms. Bryce and May go to their rooms, while Katelyn and I go to ours. I almost pass out when I get in, but I want to get a shower. I sigh and lift myself off of the bed when I see Katelyn smiling.
"Oh don't be so smug." I say jokingly. She responds by sticking her tongue out at me. I go into the bathroom and begin the process of getting myself ready for bed.
I feel refreshed after the shower, and I walk out of the bathroom to see Katelyn asleep in the bed. I slide into the bed beside her gently, so I don't wake her up. It takes a while, but I fall asleep.
In the morning, I prepare myself for the day. I know that N is going to be waiting at Dragonspiral tower, but I have no idea what will accompany him. Our group sets out for the gym at around 10:15. Brycen meets us at the front of the gym.
"Well then. Since you don't want to waste any time, let's get inside and battle." He states.
We walk inside, and May and Bryce go to the stands. Bryce faces Katelyn and I on the opposite side of the arena. The referee says for us to throw out our Pokémon.
Bryce throws out a Beartic. I decide not to use Katelyn, since I don't want her to get tired. She floats beside me, silently cheering me on. "Go, Tyran!" I state while tossing Tyran's Pokéball into the arena. Tyran comes out, and lets out his signature roar. Brycen's Beartic looks astonished, but quickly recovers.
"Let the battle…" the referee states while raising his arm. "Begin!" He finishes while bringing down his arm.
"Beartic, use IcePunch!" Brycen tells his Pokémon. Beartic runs towards Tyran with his fist giving off what looks like smoke, but is from ice forming on his fist.
"Tyran counter with Rock Throw!" I state, while Tyran creates a huge bolder in his arms, and he throws it with so much force, that when it hits Beatic it slams him into the opposite wall. Beartic is instantly knocked out.
Brycen looks between Tyran, Beartic, and myself with his mouth wide open. "What the… How the hell did you do that!" He exclaims.
"Well, we trained in Twist Mountain." I explain. "And Tyran isn't even my strongest." Beside me, Katelyn smiles. Brycen looks at her with wide eyes.
"Well… I lost fair and square." He states, returning his fallen Pokémon. He begins walking towards us. "Here is the Freeze Badge." He explains, handing me the badge. "Now let's take you to Dragonspiral tower.
Even Bryce and May were astonished at how fast the battle was completed. They didn't say anything, but I could tell that they were. Brycen let us enter the tower.
At the exact moment when we entered the tower, I felt the same dark presence that showed up all those years ago. Katelyn noticed it, too. Whatever N has planned… We need to stop him. she states. Bryce, May, Katelyn, and I begin running up the stairs to the top floor of the tower.
It takes a while, but we reach the top. What we see… is N facing us. "Well hello Ian." He states. "It seems that you have arrived here. I thought you weren't going to show." He says with a smirk. "I can tell you want to know why you are here. I called you here because of THIS!" He states, pulling the dark orb from around his neck. He throws it into the air, and suddenly darkness flows out from it. It shoots in every direction, shaking the entire tower. Then, it suddenly stops. Everyone regains their balance, and looks at the orb. It's pulsating with darkness, and I suddenly know what he has done.
"NO!" I shout. "It… It can't be!"
"OH BUT IT CAN, IAN! IT CAN!" N shouts manically. The dark orb grows in size, and releases darkness all around it. We can't see anything, and I grab Katelyn's hand. The darkness clears, and when it does, I wished that it had stayed. What I see, is a huge Pokémon towering above us all. It opens it's red eyes, and stares at me. It lets out a roar.
Suddenly I'm 10 again. Staring up towards the huge monster that roars ever so loud. It's eyes staring angrily at me. The darkness enveloping it, the landscape falling away. I bring myself back to reality.
It falls to the ground of the top floor of the tower. It looks exactly like it did all those years ago. Light blue pulsating through it's tail, blood red eyes staring menacingly at me. I begin to shake.
"This is Zekrom." N explains. "It has a counter part. It's name is Reshriam." He says. I suddenly notice something in my backpack glowing, and I make a connection.
I pull out the white orb that the Nacrene Gym Leader gave me as a token for beating her. "Ah." N states. "It seems you have Reshiram." I look down at the orb. "Put it away, child. Now is not the time for us to battle." He says while climbing onto Zekrom. "We shall battle at the Unova League. Where everyone can watch the fate of the world play out. Be there. Or the world you know will be destroyed. You shall fight Zekrom with Reshiram. If you lose, the world will be destroyed. If you win… Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves." Zekrom begins floating in the air. "I SHALL SEE YOU THEN, IAN! I WILL BEAT YOU, AND I WILL CRUSH ALL OF YOUR LOVED ONES! AND THEN, WHILE YOU ARE BROKEN, I SHALL DESTROY THE ENTIRE WORLD!" He states, while Zekrom flies out of the tower.
Nobody said a word for a while, but I broke the silence. "Why the hell is he that crazy?" I say. Nobody can reply. Nobody can say anything. They follow me silently out of the tower, and Katelyn pulls me aside. May and Bryce go back to the Pokécenter.
Ian… I love you. I just don't want you to get hurt. Katelyn says, kissing me.
I kiss her back. "Don't worry Katelyn. I won't let that monster win." I reply.
We walk back to the Pokécenter, preparing for our journey to Opelucid City.
Holy crap. That was... wow. So N reawakened the only thing that Ian is afraid of, and he explained that he has to battle him for the fate of the world. Ian also learns that he has Zekrom's counterpart, Reshiram. Can Ian beat N? What about Rayquaza? What does it play a part of in this? Well, I'll leave you guys to think about that. And, again, I'm sorry. I might not post anything for a while, but I'll try to. Anyways guys, take care and Don't Die.
