Colt's POV
Serena and I landed in Lumiose City and burst into the café ready to confront Lysander but…he wasn't there, but two employees were, we managed to sniff them out as grunts and find access to a secret passage under the café.
The staircase down was dark but when we got into the strange laboratory at the bottom someone was waiting for us.
"Ah, welcome." Lysander turned to face us "I had a feeling you'd come, I hope you understand, saving everyone is impossible."
"No it's not!" Serena said.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"As I said the world is in ruin and saving everyone isn't possible." Lysander was writing us off like nothing "if you seek to stop me than show me."
"Stay back." I told Serena as I took out a Pokeball "I want to deal with this."
"Sure." She nodded stepping back.
"Meinfoo!" Lysander threw out a cat like Fighting-Type.
"Blastoise!"
"BAAA!" the large turtle landed.
"Quick Water Pulse!" I ordered.
Meinfoo jumped around to avoid the blasts and got in close to bash Blastoise with its paws.
"Aqua Tail!"
Meinfoo jumped over the tail landed sharply.
"Use Force Palm!"
The tiny little cat slammed into Blastoise and sent him crashing back.
"Return!" I yelled nervous about how quickly I was defeated "Abomasnow!"
"RAAHHH!" the tree roared entering the battle.
"Make them come to us, Ingrain!"
Abomasnow laid down roots and prepared as Meinfoo dashed in, we waited till the last second as it got in nice and close.
"Wood Hammer!"
"RAAH!"
Abomasnow slammed an arm down, crushing the tiny fighter and eliminating it form use in battle.
"Gyarados!" Lysander sent out Pokemon number too.
RAAAAAAAAA!" the sea serpent flew around the snowy air.
"Iron Head!"
Abomasnow was unable to dodge as Gyarados charged it. Abomasnow tanked the blow, grabbing Gyarados and slamming a Wood Hammer down as it was KOed.
"Good job getting a last hit in." I said "Yanmega!"
"BUZZ!" the dragonfly flew around.
Yanmega started darting around the room taking swipes at Gyarados with its wings. Fortunately, due to Gyarados size it was unable to use its slower attacks to hit my bug.
"Gyarados switch out!" Lysander retrieved his Pokemon "Pyroar!"
"GRROOOOAA!" A large lion Pokemon roared.
"Damn." I hissed.
"Fire Blast!"
Yanmega looped over the fire wheel and swiped into Pyroar.
"No Yanmega!" I yelled "Don't get close!"
"Fire Fang!"
"YAAAA!" the bug squealed as it was bit.
"We're done here." Lysander said as Yanmega was spit out "Clearly you see now, you don't stand a chance against me."
"Damn you." I hissed as he stepped into the elevator "This world is too vast, too full of hateful fools who can't be saved by my hard work alone. I don't expect you to understand, but if you want to try once more you'll need to find a way to activate the elevator."
"LYSANDER!" I ran into the elevator door "Damnit!"
"Colt…" Serena blinked "He was strong."
"Ever since I started working with Pokemon, having battles, I've felt so much happier, I've felt like this is who I want to be, I won't let some guy like him take that away, I won't let him crush the dreams of the whole world." I said "We need to find a way down."
"Hmm." Serena tapped her chin "HA! Greninja!"
The frog jumped out and looked to its master.
"Cut that door wide open!" she pointed.
"GRA!" the frog swiped its hands and the door collapsed.
"Okay we'll stay up here and lower you down on this rope" Serena said digging into her bag "Be careful down there."
"Okay." I tied myself to the end and Serena and Greninja lowered me down to the lower floor.
I kicked in the emergency exit on the elevator and went to the basement. The lower hallways were dark and dank but I snuck my way down to the bottom to find Lysander conversing with a cell.
"It's you." I looked at the man as I stepped out "That guy from the desert."
Inside the cell was the big giant man we once ran in to after Coumarine City.
"Listen one who will face Lysander." He said "A long time ago…there was a man who loved Pokemon more than anything, but when a war broke out his beloved Pokemon was called away. And one day the man was given a tiny box. He wanted to desperately to bring that Pokemon back he built a machine to give it life. He succeeded and brought his Pokemon back but his rage had not been quelled and he became unable to forgive the world. So he turned his machine into a weapon and used it to end that war, but when the Pokemon that was given life came to see that the lives of others were taken to restore it the resurrected Pokemon left the man."
"You must stop him, get the key to the weapon back." The man said "It cannot be used, the world will only know unknown pain like me."
"This is AZ." Lysander looked at me "He has the same name as a king that lived 3,000 years ago. For some reason he had the key to the ultimate weapon around his neck. I'll be in my chambers if you wish to seek me one last time."
Later
I followed Lysander to a room with another man. In that room were two buttons, a blue one and an orange one.
"With a push of one button we will change the world." Lysander said waling by me "I think I'll leave the future's fate up to you."
"What." I mumbled "Too afraid to take the world's fate in your hands, are you chickening out that bad you need a little kid to make a mistake so your plan works?"
"No, I'm only testing your potential." He walked away.
"Tsk." I shook my head "Damn."
The scientist in the room tried to fight me but I wasn't really in the mood and used Delphox to quickly dispatch him.
"So which one, orange or blue." I wondered "I guess I'll go with…blue."
I poked the button and the screen in the center of the room lit up. It was Geosage town. The ground at the center of town rumbled and split as a giant crystal plant shot out of the earth and opened.
"No…I was wrong." I hissed.
"Actually they both triggered the weapon." The scientist laughed.
"Damn you." I ran by.
There might still be a chance, if I stop it myself.
