Sorry for the wait! I've been busy doing a paper for English.
Mercury reclines into the cushioned seat in Team Galactic's airship. The borrowed glameow makes herself comfortable on the new member's lap and Houndour sits at her side beside the arm of the chair. The child runs a hand along his head and her other along the arch of the feline's back. Mars and Purugly watch the three from their own seat. The redhead smiles to herself as the admin enlarges the video feed being recorded by the aircraft's side cameras.
Lake Aquity's snowy frontier welcomes the violet eyes and she stands to join Jupiter and Saturn at the despatch door as the ship descended onto the snow cloaked lake front. The white powder tornadoed as the jets blew the substance off the ground.
"Looky here Mercury," Mars summons and the child turns to face the admin. "Family reunion aye?"
The platinum turns her attention to the screen and recognizes the tall blonde glaring at the Galactic aircraft. Her garchomp, clad in a superior, scaly armor, roared angrily at the machine, and Mercury shuttered at the power radiating from the mega evolved pokemon. Cynthia throws a hand out and the screen shows she releases a silent scream. Garchomp opened her mouth and a pillar of flames burst forth from the abyss. The boiling flames bombard the ship and Mercury places two hands on the side walls to stabilize herself. Glameow and Houndour dig their claws into the floor to avoid being projected into the opposing wall.
"We're going to drop Mercury and Mars on the ground to distract the trainers. Jupiter and Saturn are going to obtain Uxie." A higher level grunt informs as he lowers the craft to the ground.
Mercury returns the pokemon into their pokeballs and raises an arm to protect her face from the gale force winds twirling her hair around like they were being controlled by a Psychic attack. Mar jumps through the open threshold first and lands gracefully on the ground before Cynthia, a trainer the child has never seen before, and a few of Snowpoint's police force. She looks up at the platinum expectantly and Mercury hurls herself out of the airplane. Her pale strands blow backward as gravity pulls at her and she twist in midair so that she landed on her feet instead of her face.
From the side of the shocked champion, the shiny absol barks happily and growls at the redheaded spacecadet.
"Angel! You're okay!"
Said child doesn't respond and hurls one of her borrowed pokeballs out toward the horde. Houndour growls fiercely and lowers itself to the ground in an attack pose. She points forward at the horde of defenders, "Houndour, Flamethrower. Circle."
The canine jumps into the air and spins so he's facing the mass before unhinging his jaw and throwing his head. The stream of flames create a circle around the trainers and all of them instinctively huddle away from the heat. The absol meets the child's gaze and nods slightly. She propels her white body upward and clears the wall of fire. Calamity is embraced by her trainer and sits on her haunches beside the platinum. Garchomp clears the ring of fire with a Sand Tomb and roars at the child.
"Angel, what are you doing?" Cynthia shouts as the girl's glameow is released from its pokeball.
"You should learn to call our new member Mercury." Saturn states from the aircraft. "Mercury if you would."
The child complies and looks at Calamity. She fists her hand and points at the island at the center.
"Houndour, Dark Pulse. Glameow, Shock Wave."
The two pokemon comply and hurl their attacks toward the center of the lake. The water crackles with electricity and the dark plasma zooms across the surface. Calamity releases her own colossal sized Shadow Ball at the water and the three collide with the cave with a resonating boom. As the dust clears a gaping hole is revealed to breach the rock island. Toxicroak and Skuntank fall through the air onto the island and their trainers promptly follow.
"Angel!" Cynthia yells desperately, although her plea seems to fall on deaf ears. "What are you doing? If this is you wanting an apology then I'm sorry for what I said."
"Your apologies mean nothing to Mercury. She's going to do what we say because she wants a spiritless world just like Cyrus sir did." Mars laughs as her Purugly releases a Hyper Beam. The bright light explodes and knocks back most of the police force's pokemon. Said officers rush to their partner sides in panic.
"Glameow, Shadow Claw." The feline's claw is enveloped in a dark purple hue as it lunges at the trainer's Blastoise armored shell. Gary smirked when his pokemon is left unscathed.
"I heard you were some prodigy." He snickers as his pokemon releases a Hydro Pump from his dual cannons.
Mercury simply raises her brows and waves a hand in the air. Calamity jumps at the turtle from the side and swings her glowing horn into the creature. The blastoise yells as it looses balance and falls over. It growls at the white disaster and his canons on his back focus. The absol twists to avoid the Scald and the blue stones bulge from the earth, forcing the blue pokemon upward. A jolt of electricty from Glameow forces the exhausted pokemon to the ground. Calamity pounces off the ground back to her trainer, leaving Mars to deal with Professor Oak's grandson.
"I'm sorry, but you don't understand." Mercury whispers to Garchomp, catching the dragon off guard, before she activates her key stone. Calamity is enveloped in a blue light and her limbs elongate. Her fur becomes shaggier and her wings sprout from her back.
Garchomp waits impatiently for instruction and, when she turns to see what the delay was, she notices Cynthia's conflicted look. The dragon returns her attention a second to late and the absol rams her body into the larger pokemon's. The force causes Garchomp to stumble and it takes longer than it should for her to be released from the shock.
"How did that do so much damage?" Cynthia mutters to herself.
"Fairy type attacks are super effective against dragons," Mercury murmurs again before she fists her hand and motions down.
A dark plasma ball hits Garchomp's legs and forces the bipedal creature to throw its arms out in balance. The champion notices the glow wearing off of Calamity's green eyes and racks her brain for the pokemon's move set.
Mercury throws her hand up and the blue stones propel the white beast skyward to avoid Garchomp's Dragon Claw. The rocks surge forward and break when Calamity's empowered horn makes contact.
"Garchomp, Brick Break!"
Calamity barks in surprise when the creature slams its claw into her back and ram the absol into the ground. The absol glares at the dragon from her position on the ground and braces for the next attack. The green eyes widen and she howls out a plea when Mercury rushes forward and throws her body in front of the white guardian.
"Garchomp, stop!" Cynthia screeches as she instinctively runs forward.
The glowing limb barely halts above the child's cranium.
Mercury's chest fluctuates with her accelerated breathing and her blood runs broiling hot with adrenaline. Light cascades over both pokemon as their mega forms recede back into their bodies.
"You're both showoffs," Mars scoffs as Purugly finishes off Gary's team. "Focus kid!"
That snaps the six year old back to attention as she jumps onto her injured pokemon's back and the duo flee from beneath the Garchomp. Right as Calamity's tail clears the area, the two portals appear on either side of Cynthia and her ace before they are bombarded with a Mega Calamity's Future Sight. As the smoke clears a battered Garchomp releases the shield she had created with her arms from around Cynthia and wavers slightly before straightening back to her normal position. The dragon growls a protest when she is returned to her ball, but she is too weak to retaliate.
Mercury's eyes stare wide eyed at the scuffed up champion who swaps her pokeballs inside her jacket. Lucario lands on the ground and stands, a flicker of emotions passes through his eyes when he sees his trainer's previous foster child. The violet eyes downcast.
A alien cry forces everyone to stop their battling and turn toward the lake's island. The small guardian swirls out of the top of its cavern and gazes at the chaos in front of it. Uxie twists to avoid the skuntank's Flamethrower and his eyes glow as the poison type is hurled into the water before rising up to the surface, fainted.
"Uxies's appeared!" One of the grunt yells.
The legendary pokemon and Mercury connect eyes. The child nods slightly before opening her arms.
"Help me Uxie. The dimension will be opened."
The yellow pokemon floats into the child's arms and a burst of aura resonates outward from the small body. A iridescent yellow pulse that slightly shifts the trees. Everyone glances around in confusion before sparing a look at the child as if she was crazy.
Mars smiles maniacally when Uxies' brethren teleport onto the scene. Purugly unleashes a hyper beam at the two legendaries, but they simply twist their bodies and dodge the incoming attack.
"Uxie, Psychic." The yellow creature emits power and its glowing eyes freeze Cynthia and her companion.
"Mesprit, Azelf." The duo floats over to take a seat on both of Mercury's shoulder. The platinum turns to Mars.
"Mission complete."
