Serena and Anabel sat together in the stands as the battle between Clemont and Ash was about to start. Clembot stood at the field acting as referee. The robot raised his hands up to both sides as he spoke, "This will be a three on three battle between the gym leader Clemont and the challenger Ash, the battle will be over when one side as no remaining Pokemon furthermore only the challenger is allowed to substitute." Clembot turned his head to Ash. "Seeing how you don't have four badges should you lose you will not be allowed to have a rematch until you have four with you."
Ash had a nod of understanding at the rules. He wasn't going to lose that was sure. He pulled out the Great Ball from his belt and tossed it out as Clemont choose his first Pokemon as well. "Krokorok I choose you!"
"Quilladin, come on out!" The sunglasses-wearing Krokorok was meet with the evolved form of Chespin.
In the stands, Serena looked at Quilladin in surprise. Clemont had joked that maybe Chespin would evolve one day even though they felt that would never happen due to his usual tendency to focus on eating. Seems that the day had already come without them knowing. "You know I wonder how that happened," Braixen questioned while Gardevoir shrugged.
Ash pulled out his Pokedex to scan and get a better understanding, "Quilladin, the Spiny Armor Pokémon and the evolved form of Chespin. The hard shell covering Quilladin's body is so tough, a direct hit from a large truck wouldn't even dent it. Quilladin uses this shell to deflect foes' attacks, and it strikes back with its sharp quills."
Clemont looked at Ash's choice with a smirk on his face. Since taking back his gym he found many challengers tried to use a ground type in hopes of taking him out. "A smart choice but as you can see I'm prepared to face ground types."
Despite the disadvantage before them both Ash and Krokorok couldn't help but smile. "I won't say that I expected anything less." He turned to Krokorok, "You ready for your first gym battle?"
Krokorok turned to him with a nod. A smile on his face as he turned his attention back on Quilladin "You beat I am."
Clembot turned to both trainers making sure they were ready raising his robotic arm upwards. "Quilladin vs Krokorok battle begin!" With that, the battle officially began.
Ash wasted no time taking the first move in the battle. "Krokorok, use Stone Edge!" Krokorok slammed his glowing fists into the ground as large stone pillars shot out of the ground and right at Quilladin.
Clemont already had a counter planned. "Use Rollout to dodge!" Quilladin tucked himself and began rolling around zipping past the stone pillars. "Now Pin Missile!" The rolling Quilladin jumped up and let loose a barrage of light green points aimed right at Krokorok.
The bug type attack pelted Krokorok as he held up his arms to guard himself wincing from the super effective attack. "Krokorok use Shadow Claw!" Krokorok claws were covered in a ghostly energy as he raced forward and slashed them over Quilladin. "Follow it up with the other arm!"
Krokorok brought his other arm down at Quilladin almost immediately. The second slash knocking the Spiny Armor Pokemon of his feet. "Use Rollout to recover!" Quilladin rolled around in reverse using the momentum to get started.
In the stands, Serena couldn't help but notice it seemed almost reminiscent of Lucario's battle style. Braixen, of course, raised an eyebrow before smirking. "I think Clemont may have taken a page out of our book." She wasn't so sure, but then again she could ask him later.
"Use Earthquake!" Krokorok slammed his feet into the ground as the gym shook under his feet. The shaking ground knocked Quilladin upwards ever so slightly breaking his Rollout. The grass type tried his best to endure the attack. "Now follow up with Shadow Claw!"
"Counter with Needle Arm!" A green glow surrounded Quillidan's arms as both he and Krokorok slammed their attacks into one another. Punch meet claw as they both pushed against each other. They broke their push of strength before attacking with both arms. Both attacks ceased as they grabbed with their hands.
"Pin Missile!/Crunch!" At both trainers commands Krokorok's teeth glowed as the outline of a jaw formed to be meet with the light green glow of spikes ready to launch from Quilladin. Both attacks hit their marks at the same time causing an enviable backlash between them. Krokorok and Quilladin landed backwards with a thud.
Krokorok and Quilladin picked themselves back up as the two of them looked at one another. Krokorok readjusted his glasses as he shot his opponent a glare. "You almost knocked my glasses off with that last attack." A red glare surrounded Krokorok's body as he let out a roar of anger.
On the sidelines, Anabel commented on the sudden change from Krokorok. "That's Anger Point, Krokorok attack is maxed out now." That was both a good and a bad thing. It was good meaning that his physical attacks now hit far harder. The downside was that it meant the last attack was a critical hit on top of being super effective.
"Huh is it too late to say sorry?" Quilladin looked at the now maxed out and angry Krokorok.
"Krokorok use Stone Edge!" Krokorok slammed his fist into the ground as large pillars of stone shot up right at Quilladin knocking him high into the air. "Now use Shadow Claw!"
Krokorok jumped up high into the air both arms covered in ghostly energy. Quilladin tried to move away as he watched Krokorok coming right at him. "Needle Arm! Use the attack to knock yourself upwards!"
Green energy surrounded Quillidan's arms as he knocked them into the Shadow Claw and after a brief moment of struggle the attack knocked him into the air. A stunned expression was plastered over Serena's face as she realized that was indeed a move she used before in contest battling. "Alright now use Pin Missile!" Quilladin fired the barrage of light green spikes at the falling Krokorok knocking him back and bouncing off the ground with his glasses falling off his head.
Krokorok moaned as he lay there unconscious. Clembot raised his hand as he officially singled the defeat. "Krokorok is unable to battle the winner is Quilladin!"
Ash walked onto the field to help Krokorok back up handing the shades back to him. Krokorok finally coming too looked at his trainer with a light-hearted laugh. "Well can't say I expected a loss as my debut huh?" Krokorok went back to hanging his head down tired as Ash returned him to his pokeball.
Anabel had to admit that was a rather risky move on Clemont's part. "Using Krokorok's own attack like that was unorthodox move and could have failed had he not done it at the right time." The psychic turned her head to Serena with a questioning look, "Do you happen to know were Clemont got the idea?"
"Well, it's probably from me," Serena admitted with a nervous blush. "See I'm a Coordinator and I used it before in my contest battles."
The honey-haired girl's words explained were he had gotten it. Contest battles were known for unconventional uses of moves as well as flashy batting styles. Anabel had watched former Coordinators try to use whatever worked in the contest battles to get an advantage. "So you're a Pokemon Coordinator then?"
Serena gave her a nod of confirmation. "Yes, though I'm kinda taken to being a Pokemon Performer." Anabel had a curious look at this. Pokemon Performer wasn't something she had heard about before. Lucky Serena explained it to her, "A Pokemon Performer is similar to a Coordinator in some ways, they take part in Pokemon Showcases for the chance to become Kalos Queen."
She got the gist of it though she still wanted to know more. These sound strangely similar to something she heard Brandon talking about after a trip to Kalos two years back. It sounds like this was what he was talking about. Back on the field, Ash pulled out his second pick for the battle. "Alright, Hawlucha I choose you!"
The Fast Ball opened as the Westling Pokemon appeared in the field striking his battle pose. Hawlucha looked at his opponent. Quilladin was almost about to fall from the last battle. Clembot gave the signal for the battle to continue. "Hawlucha use Karate Chop!"
Hawlucha jumped forward his arm glowing. "Quilladin Needle Arm!" Quilladin Arms glowed green as he smashed his fist into the fighting type move. The two attacks fought it out until finally, Ash gave the next order.
"Use High Jump Kick!" With his leg, glowing Hawlucha trusted his foot upwards smashing into Quilladin from below. Hawlucha's body flipped around landing on his hands on feet while Quilladin landed on the ground with a thud unconscious.
Clembot raised his robot arm as he called out. "Quilladin is unable to battle Hawlucha is the winner!" Clemont returned Quilladin to his pokeball in a red flash.
Clemont returned the pokeball to his belt as he looked at Ash adjusting his glasses. He had looked over any and all recordings of Ash's previous battles. He knew that eventually he had to face him and it was best to be prepared. "Well, now it's even one for one." The gym leader pulled out his second choice. "Heliolisk, come on out!"
In a flash, the Generator Pokemon appeared on Clemont's side of the field ready for the battle ahead. Ash pulled out his Pokedex to get information on it before finding that it was already registered. In the stands, Serena looked at the matchup. "Heliolisk is an electric and normal type, while Hawlucha is a fighting and flying type." She looked at the two pokemon as they ready for battle. "Neither side as a real advantage over the other."
Anabel was in agreement on paper. The two may be evenly matched in terms of tying but abilities and moves could easily swing this match to either side. Clembot gave the signal for the two to start the battle and Clemont wasted no time to take the first move. "Heliolisk use Rain Dance!"
Heliolisk gave cry as a small rain cloud formed within the gym overhead. From it, a light downpour covered the gym below. Serena groaned as the rain started to fall on her, her pokemon and Anabel for a few seconds until an automatic rain covering extended. "Sorry about that!" Clemont yelled out to the spectators.
"You know it might be best to work on making the rain cloud smaller." Ash pointed out not really bothered by the rain himself.
Clemont had a nod as he put that into consideration. "Alright, Heliolisk use Parabolic Charge!" Heliolisk spread open its frails firing a blast of electricity into the air. It formed into a ball before exploding outwards into several bolts of electricity heading out in multiple directions.
"Hawlucha dodge quickly!" Hawlucha jumped around making sure to stay ahead of each one of the attacks. When the last bolt had finally missed Ash gave the order to head on the offensive. "Use X-Scissor!" Hawlucha's clawed glowed as he crossed them letting out an X shaped attack.
"Dragon Pulse now!" Heliolisk opened its mouth as it fired a dragon-shaped blast of mystical energy right into the X-Scissor canceling them both out. Hawlucha came jumping through the resulting cloud of smoke to Heliolisk's surprise.
"Use Karate Chop!" Hawlucha's arm glowed before slamming his claw across Heliolisk's chest almost knocking him into Clemont from the force of the impact.
Heliolisk pulled himself up slowly a light green glow covering its body. This didn't go unnoticed to Anabel who looked up at the rain cloud with a realization. "Heliolisk's ability must be Dry Skin as long as the rain is in effect Heliolisk will recover over time."
Ash grit his teeth having overheard this from Anabel. He had to finish this quickly otherwise Heliolisk would simply recover from any damage done to it. They had to put enough damage to Heliolisk to keep them from healing from it. "Hawlucha, High Jump Kick now!"
Hawlucha jumped into the air aiming his kick right at Heliolisk. Clemont was hoping he would take the frontal assault. "Heliolisk use Flash!" Heliolisk's frails opened wide as a blinding light shinned causing Hawlucha to cover his eyes. He landed on the ground with a thud the pain from missing the attack causing him to wince. "Heliolisk use Parabolic Charge!"
"Hawlucha look out!" Hawlucha turned around only it was too late. A bolt of lightning struck him head-on. Hawlucha yelled in pain a green glow forming from the ball of electricity as Heliolisk was healed from a portion of the damage.
A small green glow covered the Heliolisk with Dry Skin activated once again. Hawlucha pulled himself back up as Ash thinking it over decided to switch to another tactic. "Hawlucha use X-Scissor!"
Hawlucha crossed his arms sending the X shaped attack right at Heliolisk. "Dodge it and use Dragon Pulse!" Heliolisk raced to the side dodging the attack and responding in kind with a blast of mystical energy.
"Jump now!" Hawlucha jumped heading towards Heliolisk who's eyes widened in surprise. "Now used Flying Press!" With a spin, Hawlucha body glowed as he slammed into Heliolisk. The Generator Pokemon groaned as Hawlucha jumped off him.
As he pulled himself back up the green glow of Dry Skin covered him, recovering a slight bit from the pain. Overhead the cloud started to break up as Rain Dance came to an end. With the rain finally gone this was their chance. "Hawlucha use Karate Chop!"
Hawlucha jumped forward ready to end this with a chop to Heliolisk's head. Clemont quickly gave a command to counter this. "Dragon Pulse!" Just before Hawlucha could make contact Heliolisk's mouth opened as it let loose the mystical blast at point blank. Hawlucha was sent flying right into the stand railings.
"Hawlucha can you stand?" Hawlucha started to pick himself backup proving he still wasn't out of it.
"Heliolisk finish this with Parabolic Charge!" At that command, Heliolisk let loose a barrage of lightning bolts aimed at Hawlucha. Hawlucha eyes widen as the attack struck him head-on. A green glow entered into Heliolisk as Hawlucha collapsed on the ground unconscious.
"Hawlucha is unable to battle Heliolisk is the winner!" Clembot exclaimed as Heliolisk started to pant taking the time to catch his breath.
In the stands, Zoroark let out a sigh. Both Hawlucha and Krokorok had only been with Ash for a couple of days and as it stood they still haven't trained all that much together. Still, it seems Ash was starting to improve with Hawlucha even if it was ever so much. "He's going to need to pull something off if he's going to win."
Returning Hawlucha Ash looked at to Heliolisk in thought. He was two Pokemon down and Clemont still had two of his own. He felt himself hovering over Sceptile's pokeball when Mawile tugged on his pants. "Send me in! With Mega Evolution I know I can do this!"
He thought about when she straight up beat Mega Lucario on her own. Thinking about it for a few seconds he gave her a nod and pulled out the Mawilite. "Alright, Mawile I'm counting on you." He gave her the Mawilite as she responded with a nod.
Clemont watched as Mawile entered on the field with the Mega Stone in hand. He knew this was likely going to be a very hard battle. 'Mega Mawile's ability is Huge Power meaning that all her Physical attacks will deal double the damage' He had plenty of reason to not let that happen.
Clembot looked at both trainers. Giving the single to begin Ash wasted no time. Tapping the Key Stone edged into his bracelet a flash of light shot from it and the Mega Stone held within Mawile's hands. When the glow died down Mega Mawile stood in front of her opponent. Anabel looked on in awe. "So that's Mega Evolution?"
"Sure is." Serena motioned to Gardevoir next to her. "Me and Gardevoir can also do it, and I have Absolite for Absol as well."
Gardevoir turned her head to the Disaster Pokemon with a raised eyebrow at her sister's words. "When did that happen?"
"Geosenge Town, a girl named Astrid gave us her extra," He summed up how it happened, "She also has Lucarionite." That's right Serena had almost forgotten about that.
Back on the field, Clemont took the first move as quickly as he could. Heliolisk didn't stand much of a chance and he knew the only hope he had to win was to set things up. "Use Rain Dance and follow it up with Parabolic Charge!" Heliolisk gave a cry as the clouds returned with rain falling with them.
Heliolisk opened its frail ready to send a bolt of electricity into the air. Ash wasn't having any of it. "Counter with Sucker Punch!" A dark purple glow surrounded Mawile's fist as he raced forward at Heliolisk her fist connecting just before Heliolisk's attack was sent at her.
On connect, Heliolisk was sent flying backwards slamming into the wall behind Clemont. Heliolisk collapsed on the ground unconscious from the feel from the walk landing on his belly as Clembot called the rather short match. "Heliolisk is unable to battle."
Clemont returned Heliolisk to his pokeball as he held it up to his mouth. "You tried your best and now leave everything to Luxray." Taking out his last pokeball he released the pokemon in question, "Luxray, come on out!"
In a flash, Luxray appeared on the field ready for battle. He got into a battle stance as he stared down Mega Mawile. The Gleam Eyes Pokemon was ready to face her. Clemont took the first move to finish his set up. "Luxray, Electric Terrain now!"
Luxray slammed his feet into the grounds as electricity arched off of him, and into the ground and walls around them. Everywhere started to take on a yellow tint. Anabel looked around in worry. "Electric Terrain increases the strength of Electric-type moves whole it's in effect and with rain…" The violet-haired girl started to see what Clemont was planning.
"Mawile use Brick Break!" Mawile arm glowed as she took off at Luxray ready to score an easy win.
"Luxray use Thunder!" Luxray roared as a massive bolt of lightning shot into the clouds overhead. They glowed a bright white before a large lightning bolt struck Mawile head on. She let out a scream of pain as the electricity surged through her.
It was as Anabel had predicted. With rain and Electric Terrain in effect, he was hoping to boost Thunder while making sure it always had a chance to hit. 'This is bad unless she can hit him Mawile would be in big trouble.'
Clemont smirked his plan to take Mawile out was coming along just as he hoped. It was time to put the pressure back on. "Luxray, Thunder again!" Luxray slammed his front paws back into the ground as a large bolt went racing in the sky before coming down on Mawile.
Mawile screamed as the electricity surged through her body. Ash grit his teeth as he watched this. If only he could get rid of the rain cloud. He blinked as an idea hit him. "Mawile use Fairy Wind on the clouds above you!" Clemont looked confused at why he would order such a thing. Mawile, however, did as he said as the pink tinted wind slammed into the rain cloud. "Now spin the wind around!"
Mawile tossed her two head mouths around and within it, the wind twisted itself into a mini cyclone. The rain cloud overhead swirled around it until finally breaking apart dissipating into nothing while Clemont just looked on wide-eyed in shock as the last raindrop fell on his glasses. "What? How?" Realization hit him as this meant Luxray had lost reliable Thunder coverage.
"Mawile use Sucker Punch!" A dark purple energy covered Mawile's fist as she raced forward at Luxray.
With everything happening so fast Clemont panicked on what to do next. "Luxray Discharge!"
Bolts of electricity shot out and managed to strike Mawile head on. Sadly for Luxray Mawile powered through the attack and connected her fist with his face. On connect, Hidden Power activated and with it Luxray was sent flying backwards just behind Clemont. Luxray pulled himself up with a groan. "Clemont do you have a better idea? I don't think I can take more of that."
The inventor looked at Mawile carefully. The Steel and Fairy type pokemon was tired as well from the boosted electric type attacks. "Luxray run at Mawile!"
Luxray turned to his partner with a questioning look before racing out at Mawile. He trusted him on whatever his plan was. "Mawile use Brick Break!"
Mawile charged forward hoping to end this with another gym victory. As they came close Clemont finally sprang his plan. "Luxray jump now!" Luxray jumped right over Mawile causing her to miss. "Now Fire Fang!"
Luxray's mouth was covered in flames as Mawil turned around to meet the attack with Brick Break. The two collided for a brief moment as Luxray bit down her glowing arm. Finally, the struggle exploded sending a small puff of smoke out as both Pokemon skip backwards from each fell two of his knees in pain barely holding on. Mawile had a smile on her face. Her eyes dilated immediately after. She fell to the floor and in a flash of light, she returned to normal. "Mawile is unable to battle Luxray is the winner! The Victory goes to the gym leader Clemont."
Ash raced onto the field to pick Mawile back up. Clemont let out a sigh of relief. That was too close for him. If Luxray hadn't connected his attack were he had he was sure they would have lost the battle.
Palermo looked at the two new potential employees before her. She looked at their references her expression unmoving. Finally, she placed the papers down and looked at the two of them. "Alright, you both have the job I hope you don't make me regret this."
James and Meowth were relieved to hear this. From the researched gathered Palermo was rather strict about employing anyone. In fact being in her presence was intimidating in of itself. Didn't help they needed an actually written reference. "Oh trust me you won't be disappointed."
"We'll see," The two undercovered Team Rocket 'members' left the room. After a few seconds of waiting, Palermo turned to her computer her voice neutral. "So are they telling the truth?"
Appearing on the screen was the face of Rotom. Her partner had been watching the whole thing from within his computer and as such read most of what was on the resume. The plasma being showed snapshots of each resume and then crossed them out. The Rotom had already checked and found all said a lie.
Palermo laughed at this. It was as she suspected the two of them were hiding something. She'll play their little game for now. Sitting down she looked at Rotom with a serious look planted on her face. "Have you located Aria?"
Rotom flew out of the computer and with a shake. He had looked across each of the footage from the Showcases even managing to hack into a street camera, but no sign of her was ever found. "Rot, Rotom."
Palermo let out a sigh as she glared this time at nothing but the thought of the redhead. Aria was going to become a problem she just knew it. "Keep searching for her," Rotom gave a salute as he entered the computer yet again.
Palermo pulled up her tablet and began to look at Shauna, Miette, and Bonnie's performances. Even though she no longer had Aria it didn't matter. There were other ways to help elevate Serena's status. In all her years she had gotten good at planning for even eventuality after all. Taking a sip of her drink she pulled out her Holo Caster and decided to make a call.
The holographic projection of Monsieur Pierre appeared on the other side. The man looked at her with a skeptical expression. She didn't ever call him unless she wanted something. "Palermo? What do you want."
The manager gave him a smile as she spoke, "Pierre you won't mind if I host the festival this year?"
Pierre paused for a second making sure he had heard that correctly. Palermo wanted to host the yearly festival. It wasn't unusual for the festival to be sponsored. The last three had been sponsored after all. "Bien sûr, I'll make the arrangements."
Audino's hands ceased glowing as Mawile stood back up all healed thanks to Heal still couldn't believe how close she was to crossed her arms in frustration at all of this. "I can Mega Evolve! How is it that I lost?!"
Gardevoir sighed as she leaned down to talk to her face to face. Serena had to go over the same talk with her once before. "Listen just because you can Mega Evolve that doesn't mean you can win automatically against an opponent that can't." She motioned to herself for reference. "I'm still weak to Steel and Poison types and if they can hit me with a physical move I might need to worry, Mega Evolution may boost your power but that doesn't equal you automatically are going to win."
Mawile let her words sink in for a moment. She had been so ready to win that she didn't really think about what Luxray and Clemont could do. "Your right I shouldn't be overly cocky." Gardevoir gave her a smile. Now, all that left was both her and Ash to practice it.
On the area floor, Clemont shook Ash's hand. With his loss, Ash was going to need to get four badges before he could challenge Clemont again. "Hey Ash, you should head over to Coumarine City, the gym leader there is the closest to Lumiose City." Coumarine City was, if he recalled Paul was heading too. Who knows maybe he could see how he and Mareep were doing. "I also hear that Coumarine is hosting a Showcase as well."
The honey-haired girl gave him a nod as a smile appeared on her face. Soon after Aria's warning replayed in her mind. Palermo was someone she had to watch out for with them. Ash spoke up after this, "Well we are going to need to head over to Lysandre Labs first to get you a Holo Caster first."
"You do know that Lysandre Labs is currently closed for remodeling right?" Clemont words caused both of them to look at him with surprise.
"Wait why are you both talking about going to Lysandre Labs?" Anabel stopped as she put everything together. Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Serena, "You're Serena Yvonne! You're the daughter of Lysandre aren't you?!" A blush filled both their faces as they realized they had forgotten to tell her about that.
Several minutes later, Clemont returned to his back room with a sigh. He came so close to losing to Ash. If he hadn't managed to teach Luxray Thunder just in case of facing Mega Mawile he would have lost for sure. His computer started to ring with a video call. Answering it Korrina appeared on the screen with an annoyed look on her face as she looked at Clemont. "I've been trying to contact you for the past ten minutes."
"Sorry about that I was in the middle of a battle with Ash you see." He had a blush as he spoke to her. With his explanation out of the way, he gave her a thankful look. "Hey, thanks for warning me about Mega Mawile I don't think I would have been able to defeat it without you."
Korrina gave him a smile. It wasn't against any rules to warn a fellow gym leader about another trainer's pokemon after all. In fact, some were encouraged to do so in order to keep challenges on their toes. "Well, I do have to help my boyfriend after all."
The Ultimate Weapon project was going along smoothly. Several of its workers were refitting the Weapon per Xerosic instructions. The device was needed to be refitted and calibrated to use raw Primal Energy. From what he had found out Primal Energy was the very essence of the legendaries and theoretically, the weapon would work with just it. The sounds of something being knocked down caught his attention as he saw two grunts knocking over a bunch of equipment. "Careful with that!"
Xerosic hurried down to the level and as the grunts to make sure nothing was damaged. One of them gave him an apologetic look for her mess up. "Sorry, sir I wasn't' looking where I was going."
Xerosic looked at the equipment finding nothing wrong with it. While that was a relieve to see Xerosic was still annoyed by it. He turned to her as he stared the grunt down. "Do you know that if we fail to properly attach and feed the Primal Energy through the weapon we will all die!"
His words were not sugar coating it. From what Devon Corporation had discovered raw Primal Energy was basically toxic to pretty much all forms of life. Plants, Pokemon, People it didn't matter exposure to it caused a slow and painful death as the energy literally burned away a person. The only likely exception being the Pokemon that had it flowing throw their very bodies. The very legendaries themselves.
"Really I didn't expect that death was something we would be working with." Xerosic turned around as he saw Lysandre standing over the railway. "Though given the power we are working with I expect nothing less."
Xerosic turned to him a smile on his face. "Ah, Lysandre you back I see your back from your…" Xerosic stopped as he saw another figure walk up next to him. Chained in handcuffs and flanked by two Flare grunts, was the creator of the Ultimate Weapon. "My Arceus it's Alister!"
AZ just looked at the half-finished Weapon his eyes watching as they grafted modern technology to it. If only he wasn't immortal, his healing had caused him to be discharged from the hospital and into Lysandre's care. Now he was watching them rebuild the biggest mistake of all. He turned to Lysandre his eyes still pleading. "I beg you please stop this, you kill so much."
Lysandre actually had a tear run down his face. He knew what was going to do will destroy so much of the world. It was why he had too. "The world will die if we don't do this." His expression returned to one of seriousness as he looked at the immortal. "You have lived thousands of years you have seen how well people, how pokemon act." Lysandre closed his eyes as he looked away. "This is a necessary evil, at the end of it."
AZ just looked at him his fists clenched. "You would succeed." Lysandre turned back with a raised eyebrow. "There is something that will stop you."
"If its Zygarde your too late we already have a plan for that." Lysandre's words only caused AZ to smirk.
"It's not Zygarde that I'm talking about." The immortal was grabbed by two grunts and forced to follow them. AZ turned his head and yelled out one last time, "There is another is another!"
As he watched him be carried away Lysandre replied the last sentence in his mind. AZ claimed that there was something else that would stop him. Just what was this that could dismantle the Team's decades-long plans. 'Just who is this another that he is talking about?' Lysandre turned his attention back to the half-finished weapon his mind still racing as to what the immortal had meant.
Flying high in the skies of above Kalos, Yveltal took notice of the changes to the region. The death bringer had only a short while ago noticed a flock of Deanna flying away from something in terror. Normally he would mind it, in fact, he would just ignore them as is pretty usual for non-world ending stuff, but seeing how he was flying the way they came he decided to take a look.
Flying over the wetlands he was greeted with the sight of a host of Pokemon attacking the inhabitants. Yveltal stopped as he watched the army of launch attack after attack at the fleeing natives. His gaze hardened as he realized that this wasn't a simple battle between two Pokemon armies. Energy formed between his wings as he let loose an Oblivion Wing at the ground in front of the army.
Both sides stopped and looked at the ground as the plant life slowly died. Silence filled the air everyone immediately looking upwards shook, awe and fear all on their faces as Yveltal descended slowly. Several of the Pokemon bowed their heads or looked ready to run away as the avatar of death landed on the ground with a thud. "Where is your leader?"
Once again silence filled the wetlands no one uttering a single word. Before them was Yveltal a being who was synonymous with death, a creature they had only heard about. A Yanmega landed right in front of him as a figure jumped off of the bug type. Getting off of it was a pokemon that looked almost like a living plant, long leaves blooming out from the just above the base of its fused feet. A large bouquet of ornate flowers surrounded its head.
Florges put up a brave facade but inside she was terrified. Yveltal could see it just by looking at her. He dealt with enough people and pokemon over the vast centuries to know when someone was trying to put on a brave facade. "May I ask why you are attacking the inhabitants of the wetlands?"
One of the wetland inhabitants a Wooper in panic spoke up yelling, "She just started attacking us for no reason!"
Yveltal tilted his head to the water and ground type. Wooper flinched under the gaze of Yveltal. His eyes narrowed as he shot a glared at Florges. "Is this true?"
All around her Florges army seem ready to abandon her. Many of them thought that he was going to kill her where she stood. After all, that's what Yveltal has done to anyone who managed to gain his eir. Forges' voice was weak as she too realized how stupid this was in hindsight. "I-I did this for Floette! She's sick and I heard that the spring could heal here." As soon as those words left her mouth Yveltal moved his head closer to her.
"You attack them for this?" He was starting to feel disgusted by her reasoning for attacking them. "Did you even asked them, or did you just assumed they won't allow you to use it?" Florges hesitation to answer was al Yveltal needed to know. "Bring her to me."
His request caused panic to grip the fairy type. She wanted to refuse him but unfortunately for her, the Yanmega that had her simply dropped Floette in front of Yveltal. "Please don't kill us here take her!"
Florges looked at the Yanmega her eyes turning into a glare before fear overtook her as she watched Yveltal's eyes glow. Floette's body glowed for a few seconds before she opened her eyes whatever ailment she had was gone. Everyone, there was dumbfounded at watching Yveltal literally just cure Floette. "Now be gone from this place and never return!" The pokemon army didn't need to be told twice. Florges took Floette in her arms and raced off with the others.
You all know who's coming next. I'm not even going to pretend to hide it. Anyway, let's talk about something else... Oh, wait now if any artists are willing to draw her let me know via PM I'm looking to finish her unofficial pokedex. Yes, I not a drawer I'm more of an editor and yeah I probably shouldn't beg... and I'll stop talking about it.
Anyway, instead of pointless talk let's go questions. One from saptarshiban2003.
Sure is anyone could come up with a good name for it let me know either via pm or review.
Well then cya all later, have a great day and remember you are the master of your own story. Words to live by.
