Me: The 2nd part to the Team Flare Arc! Please enjoy and be sure to review the story! I love getting feedback from readers and it's essential to become better. Anyways, enjoy!
Valerie's POV
I saw 5 legendary beasts I'd never seen before. I pulled out Comfey and Mawile. We were going to help beat these beasts in anyway possible.
The five all fired attacks at our Pokemon. They all dodged, but they all ran into separate directions across the city, causing all of us trainers to disperse, following our own Pokemon.
I ran after my two Pokemon, as they were being chased by me, who was being chased by Xerneas. Uh oh. We had to battle it. We had no choice.
Valerie: Comfey use Petal Dance! Mawile use Iron Head!
Both sent their attacks flying at the legendary elk, who clearly took damage from the two's attacks, but it just fired a Moonblast right back at us. Comfey was hit, but Mawile evaded it. "Comfey, are you okay?" I asked it, and it slowly got back up to help.
Valerie: Alright, use Petal Dance and Iron Head once more!
Both Pokemon did as told. Xerneas fell over from the impact this time.
Valerie: Now quick! Comfey, use Heal Pulse!
Comfey quickly healed itself and Mawile, and they got ready for battle. Xerneas got right back up, and used a move I'd never seen before. It dealt no damage, so it must've been a status move.
Valerie: Now use Dazzling Gleam Comfey, and Mawile use Toxic!
Both attacks landed successfully and Xerneas could be seen trembling. But it fired back with another Moonblast, once again hitting Comfey, this time knocking it out.
"Comfey return" I said, returning it to it's Pokeball. Comfey had been fully healed on second, then fainted the next. Incredible power. "Alright Xerneas. We are serious now! Stop this madness or else! Mawile mega evolve!"
Mawile transformed and morphed for a few seconds. It grew a second massive jawed mouth, it got taller, and it looked bulkier too.
Valerie: Iron Head go!
Misty's POV
We ran off from the group trying to track at least one of the legendary Pokemon that attacked us all. It was soaring through the air. As I saw it slowly land, I ran as fast as I could to track it. When it spotted me, it screamed and used a dark type looking move.
Misty: Alright then, Blastoise, Starmie both of you use Ice Beam go!
Both Blastoise and Starmie used their strongest Ice Beams, and both struck the winged Pokemon. It looked like it was causing a lot of damage, so i decided to keep it going. But before I could ask them to, it retaliated with another move. It looked like a Dark Pulse. Both of my Pokemon successfully dodged it's attacks, and were ready to fight again.
Misty: Ice Beam once more you two! Keep it up!
Starmie and Blastoise did as told, and continued using Ice Beam. This legendary Pokemon was hit by both of the beams, and looked to be taking heavy damage. I noticed it was starting to trip and lose its balance. I took advantage of that.
Misty: Blastoise, use Rapid Spin!
Blastoise hit the dark winged thing and pinned it to the ground, while still spinning. Now it was time to knock out whatever this thing was and get back to the group.
Misty: Alright Blastoise get off of it. Starmie, rap this up with a Thunder!
Starmie used its most powerful Thunder, and zapped the winged Pokemon, and it was knocked out just like that.
"Alright. That wasn't too intense. Starmie, Blastoise thank you so much, now return" I said as I recalled Starmie and Blastoise to their respective pokeballs. As soon as I was done, I took a good long look at the Pokemon in front of me. I'd never seen it before, but then again, it was a legendary of this region I'd never been too before a couple days ago.
I looked away from the Pokemon, and started to run off to the sundial once more, where I may have been needed.
Olympia's POV
I walked into the big satellite building. All I could see was two grunts working on computers.
Olympia: Delphox, Hypnosis.
Delphox did as told, and put the grunts right to sleep. But before I could search the area, another man came out from behind, with a Crobat and a Malamar by his side.
"Well well well. I wasn't expecting a gym leader to come here" the man said, "but you most likely aren't on our side of the war, so that leads me to only one conclusion".
Man: Crobat use Cross Poison!
Olympia: Psychic!
Crobat was unable to land its attacks, and Delphox knocked it out in a single blow.
"Hmph. Crobat return" the man said as he returned the Crobat of his. "You're certainly powerful if you were able to knock out one of my ace Pokemon on the spot like that. But we're not done here".
Man: Malamar, use Dark Pulse!
Olympia: Dodge and use Flamethrower!
Delphox managed to dodge the Dark Pulse successfully, and hit Malamar right on the mark with Flamethrower.
Olympia: Now finish this with Dazzling Gleam.
Delphox sent a bright Dazzling Gleam Malamar's way, knocking it out on contact.
"Very good very good Ms. Olympia" the man said. "But your petty hopes of preserving this filthy world fall on deaf ears. Our scanners say the beasts are mere minutes away". "What beasts do you mean?" I asked. "You'll see Ms. Olympia. You'll see" the man said, ominously.
Brock's POV
As my Pokemon and I ran off to try and confuse one of the legendary beasts, we realized we miserably failed. The lion like Pokemon was standing right in front of us, preparing to fire an attack.
Brock: Alright then. Steelix use Earthquake! Golem you do the same!
Both Golem and Steelix sent massive rifts in the ground the lion Pokemon's way. It got caught in the rift and sunk into the ground. But it came right back up instantly, and began to charge at us.
Brock: Dodge it you two!
Steelix managed to evade the charge, but Golem got directly hit by it. And it was knocked out just like that. "Golem return. You fought well" I told it. "Alright then. If you want to go full strength, then so will we! Steelix! Mega Evolve!"
Steelix began to transform its shape. It grew taller, and crystals started to sprout from its body. It became Mega Steelix.
Brock: Steelix use Dig!
Steelix burrowed underground. The lion Pokemon looked like it was searching for it. But unfortunately for it, it was struck by Steelix's raw power. But that wasn't exactly it. I was gonna take advantage of the airborne lion Pokemon.
Brock: Iron Tail!
Steelix lunged its tail at the lion legendary, but it powered up a move I'd never seen before. It looked like it drawing energy… from the sun? As soon as it charged up the move, it went straight into the attack.
Brock: Full Power Steelix!
Steelix wasn't gonna hold an inch back. It struck the lion with every ounce it had, and the lion did as well. Both fainted on impact. Luckily I still have Blissey and Omastar ready to go. I returned Steelix, and ran back to where I was needed.
Valerie's POV
Mawile struck the Xerneas with its full powered Iron Head. Xerneas used an electric looking move. They both used everything they had in their final attacks, and both in the end fainted on impact. I returned Mawile, and let it rest. Thank goodness I still have Sylveon ready for battle. I ran back to the sundial, where I was needed.
Iris's POV
As I chased down the flying Pokemon resembling a bat, I noticed it landed somewhere on the north side of the city. The Pokemon noticed me, Haxorus and Archeops ready for battle, and shot a Shadow Ball at us.
Iris: Fair enough! Haxorus use Dragon Claw, Archeops use Rock Slide!
Both attacks landed on the bat like legendary Pokemon. It shot back another Shadow Ball, that hit Archeops right on the mark.
"Archeops you okay?" I looked at it. It got right back up. "Okay then!" I nodded to it, it was ready for battle once again.
Iris: Dragon Claw Haxorus, Crunch Archeops!
Both attacks landed on the bat legend. It took Dragon Claw well, but I noticed it looked extremely faint when it was hit by Crunch. Perhaps Dark moves would be this Pokemon's weakness.
Iris: Haxorus use Payback! Archeops use Crunch again!
Both attacks hit the bat thing legendary incredibly forcefully, and it knocked out the bat in an instant.
"Thanks you two. Now return. You may be needed shortly" I told them, and they nodded. I started to head back to the sundial, where most of everyone likely was.
Bonnie's POV
Squishy was in the form of this beast. It commanded all four of the others that went every which way. An incredible Pokemon to behold. Was my Squishy always this? Could it always become this. It must've been. The Pokemon roared loud as it could, and it shot a dragon pulse our way.
Max: Chesnaught! Spiky Shield!
Chesnaught set up the shield, but it was torn down in a second, and it knocked out both Chesnaught and Glaceon in one blow. We both returned our Pokemon. Max and I both just sent out our last.
Max: Gallade! Mega Evolve!
Gallade changed its appearance as it grew taller, gained a cape, and glowing psychic blades. It was ready to fight.
Max: Gallade! Use Psycho Cut!
Gallade leapt into action, and tried to deal damage to Zygarde. But Zygarde grabbed it with one of its arms and threw it to the ground. Gallade got back up though.
Bonnie: Future Sight Meowstic!
Max: Focus Blast!
Gallade shot a Focus Blast straight towards Zygarde, and it hit, but only dealt minor damage. IN retaliation, Zygarde picked up Gallade, spun it around and close ranged Dragon Pulsed it, then finishing it off by throwing it to the ground. Gallade was knocked out. "Gallade… you did your very best… return, get some rest" Max said. "What am I going to do! I can't help fight this thing anymore.
Max's POV
I wouldn't be able to help fight this crisis anymore. I couldn't stand up to all this madness. The suddenly, I remembered something.
"Now, here, take this Pokeball." Olympia told me. "Huh? A pokeball? Why?" I asked her. "You'll be needing it in a few moments" Olympia told me.
Olympia had said that just an hour ago. "Bonnie wait!" I exclaimed. "What?" she asked me. "I CAN help! Olympia saw this coming! That's why she gave me that Pokeball! Go!" I shouted, sending out whatever the pokeball contained.
Out came a Meowstic, that looked like Brice's Meowstic. Zygarde was powering up an attack. But then it stopped as soon as it spotted Bonnie. Its mind then looked to go into a rampage. "What? What's wrong!" Lysandre shouted at the Zygarde.
"I got it! It remembers you deep in its mind Bonnie! Let's use the Meowstic to show it the memories!" I shouted to her. "Great idea Max! Let's give it a try!" Bonnie replied.
Max: Meowstic go! Tap into the memories of Bonnie, and display them before Zygarde!
Both Meowstic did as told, and they leapt into action. They both did something that Bonnie and I couldn't see, but Zygarde went crazy again, before it lost the shade of red its body had on it, and turned black, with green, red and blue on parts of it's body.
"NO! How can some silly flashbacks destroy what I had!" Lysandre began to shout, but neither of us were really listening. Zygarde knelt down towards Bonnie. Both Meowstic got into their defensive positions. But Zygarde didn't try to hurt her. Instead, it lended her one of its arms. Bonnie hopped on, and Zygarde placed her on its shoulder.
"It worked! Zygarde is free of Team Flare's control!" I shouted. As soon as this happened, Valerie, Misty, Brock, and the unknown woman all showed up.
"What happened! Why's Bonnie on it's shoulder!?" Misty shouted, concern evident in her voice. "Bonnie and I managed to get Zygarde conscious again by tapping into her memories. She used to have one of the key parts of Zygarde as a Pokemon" I told them both.
"So then Zygarde isn't an enemy anymore?" Valerie asked. "No. It would seem like it's a friend if it's letting Bonnie sit on its shoulder" I replied. "Well that's a relief" the unknown woman said. I needed to ask who she was, because now that the chaos was ending, it was really bothering me.
"Who are you?" I asked the woman in the brown jeans and a pink buttoned shirt. "I'm Iris. I'm the champion of the Unova League. Nice to meet you! Valerie's told me who you are, so no need to introduce yourself" Iris said. "You're the champion of the Unova League! Wow! That's so cool!" I was beginning to fanboy. "What Pokemon did you have on your journey? Did you travel with anyone? Who's your partner?" I asked.
"Well, I can answer all of those questions. First, my partner Pokemon is a Pokemon called Haxorus. A fierce dragon type Pokemon. On my Pokemon journey I had Haxorus, who was only an Axew the whole time, and Emolga, an Excadrill, and a Dragonite. And for the last question, I travelled with two boys named Ash and Cilan. Ash was from Pallet Town, and Cilan was the gym leader of Striaton City" Iris finished.
"NO WAY!" Brock, Misty, and I all said at once. "Ash travelled with Misty and I on his very first journey through the Kanto region. And I met Cilan at the Lake of Rage in Johto less than a year ago. What a small world!" Brock said. "Wow! No way!" Iris said, glad they all had a common friend.
Suddenly, a loud boom went off, and the ground was shaking incredibly fast, we all lost our footing.
Olympia's POV
"So these are the beasts you were talking about I presume?" I asked the man. "But of course. The Hoenn region's legendary Pokemon, Groudon and Kyogre. In their Primal forms nonetheless. Our backup plan in case Zygarde and it's guardians weren't enough. Since our scanners report that the guardian legendaries have all been defeated, and we've lost control of Zygarde, Primal Kyogre and Groudon are our last chance at making the world beautiful again! Primal Kyogre can flood the world with water, and Groudon can make new land. A perfect way to recreate the world once more. New kinds of Pokemon will appear, and the few survivors and Team Flare will make sure the earth is beautiful once more. Until now, I never realized how real this could all become!" the man was starting to go into hysterics.
Primal Kyogre crept towards the city, and shot a massive Origin Pulse at it. I felt the boom of the attack, and I'm sure a lot of the city did as well.
Bonnie's POV
Two massive Pokemon were nearing Anistar City. Two I'd only seen in Pokemon study books. Kyogre and Groudon. Before I could even get scared, Zygarde put me down on the ground and leapt into action. But right as he began to approach the two powerful legendary Pokemon, he looked at me, like he wanted me to command its attacks.
"Do you want me to… tell you what to do?" I asked it, not sure how it would respond. To my surprise, it nodded. As soon as it nodded, it gave me a vision of the moves it knew. Dragon Pulse, Land's Wrath, Thousand Waves, and Core Enforcer. In an instant, I knew what move had what type, and how much damage it would do.
Bonnie: Zygarde! Use Thousand Waves!
Tons of little particles went flying at the two legendary beasts. Kyogre sent back an Ice Beam, and Groudon sent a Flamethrower back too. Zygarde effortlessly dodged the attacks.
Bonnie: Land's Wrath!
The earth began to shake, more powerfully than it had previously, but the way it was moving was toward Kyogre and Groudon. Kyogre swam through it, but Groudon tripped on itself and fell into the water. Kyogre took the opportunity to Origin Pulse the beast, so it wouldn't be bothering it anymore. Groudon was flung miles away, and was never seen again during the whole battle. It was thought it chose the Anistar Lake as its new resting place.
Kyogre on the other hand, now that it didn't involuntarily split its power with Groudon, was almost twice as strong, and the Ice Beam it shot at Zygarde sent Zygarde flying backwards.
"Zygarde you have the get up! The fate of the world is in your hands! Please get up! You need to beat Kyogre or it could very well be the end of us all!" I shouted at it. Zygarde sprung right back up, ready to battle.
Bonnie: Alright! Use Thousand Waves!
Zygarde sent the particles flying towards Kyogre once more. They flipped Kyogre on its stomach, leaving it vulnerable.
Bonnie: Alright Zygarde, let's finish this! Core Enforcer!
Zygarde created laser beams with the tentacle like things it had, and sent them straight at it. It formed the shape a Z, and imploded on itself in seconds. Kyogre reverted back to its regular form, and swam back to where it came from. Only 3 days later, Kyogre was spotted swimming in southern Hoenn, meaning it was returning to where it came from.
"It's over" I said to myself. "Team Flare failed". Iris, Misty, Brock, Valerie, and Max all ran up to Zygarde, cheering and praising it. Zygarde reverted back to its cell forms, the blue one and the red one. I picked them both up. "Thank you both for saving our world!" I said. The red core, the one I knew, snuggled into me. The other one I wasn't familiar with accepted the embrace, but nothing more. "I still have the pouch for you here Squishy" I told it. But it didn't hop in. It hopped out of my arms, and onto the ground. It did something I've never seen it do before. It spoke.
"Bonnie. Thank you for caring for me in the time you did. I very much appreciate it. And thank all of you, for having the courage to fight for your world. Never have I met humans as dedicated and true as yourselves. Bonnie. Hopefully we'll meet again one day. But I must rest for now. I'm incredibly tired" Squishy said. Then both it, and the blue core vanished somewhere.
Olympia's POV
The man had seen the plan he had worked on fail miserably, and yet he showed no signs of disappointment. "So you're plan failed huh?" I asked him. We were simply sitting on the balcony of the hideout, each drinking coffee. While our whole exchange for the past half an hour was incredibly unusual, we had grown acquainted in an odd way.
"It would appear so" the man said, taking another sip of his coffee. "So how does it feel knowing you'll likely spend the rest of your life in federal prison?" I asked him. "Not much different. It can't be that much worse than living in this world of filth can it?" the man said.
"You're an interesting man to think the way you do" I told him. "I suppose I am" he agreed.
Bonnie's POV
As thousands of people with the Team Flare uniform were spotted, they were handcuffed, and shoved into massive trucks, being taken to a prison or a place for them to just die. Lysandre was taken to a very high security prison, along with his 5 scientists, Aliana, Celosia, Bryony, Mable, and Xerosic.
Anistar City was a wreck, and about 85% of the city was destroyed from the simple 2 hours this all took place in.
As all the Team Flare grunts, leaders were taken places, Valerie and Iris prepared to leave.
"Well, in the short time I've known you two, I can't say I know anything much about you, but maybe we'll meet again sometime" Iris said. "And I have to get back to Laverre City. A gym leader's duty is never done" Valerie added.
"You can say that again" Misty and Brock said simultaneously. Everyone laughed at the statement, because Misty was still a gym leader, and Brock was one. They both know how it is.
Iris and Valerie both left, riding Iris's Dragonite back to Laverre City. Misty and Brock were still here. We expected them to be going with them.
"Well, we've got plane tickets, but we were expecting to be here WAAAY longer than expected. We have plane tickets for Snowbelle city in about a month and a half though" Misty said. "What!" Max and I said in unison. "So that means you two can travel with us!" Max said, very excited. "I guess that means we can!" Brock replied. "It's still only 5PM too. My Pokenav says we can make it to Couriway Town by 11PM. We should probably go anyways, since Anistar is a wreck" Max said.
"Yes. I can take it from here" a woman said out of nowhere. "Olympia!" Bonnie and I said excitedly. "I've been meaning to give you your Meowstic back! He was a great help in freeing Zygarde's will" I told her.
"Well, thank you, but when I gave you that pokeball, I meant to give it to you permanently. Meowstic and I saw in the future, he would find another trainer in a time of crisis. Your face matched the one we saw, and I knew that. Meowstic is destined to be your Pokemon" Olympia finished. "Really!? Thank you so much! I promise to care for Meowstic to the best of my abilities!" I replied, mega excited I now had my 5th Pokemon. Before I could thank Olympia again, she was gone, nowhere in sight.
"Well I guess this means we should hit the road eh?" Brock asked us. "It would seem so" Misty replied. With that, the four of us were on our way to Couriway Town.
?'s POV
The chief of the department told me to question one of Team Flare's scientists by the name of Xerosic.
"So Xerosic, why did you do what you did? Tell me, or you'll be zapped by the collar on your neck" I asked him forcefully. "I did what I did because our modern world is full of filth, and disgust, greed, wealth, crime, media, all of it is poisoning our world, making it filthier than it already is thanks to Global Warming" Xerosic replied.
"Mhm, so tell me, when did the whole Team Flare project start?" I asked. "It started 16 years ago, as a charity organization. We went to 3rd world regions to help them after crises. This one town in Hoenn, called Chimney Town had suffered a Volcano eruption 11 years ago. Team Flare, called Lysandre Labs went to help. We brought them food, shelter supplies, medical care. After a while, we gave them less and less, as they didn't need as much help from us anymore. They became angry. They claimed it was their right. They demanded more and more of the supplies each day. They relied so much on our help from them for the 2 years we were there that they thought we were their slaves. To show us they "meant business" they killed one of our volunteers a day. After 7 days of that, we retaliated, and blew up the town" Xerosic finished.
"Mhm… so, Team Flare is now going to disband, thousands will be put in prison while the rest will be executed. Team Flare is gone. Your plan is dead" I asked him. All he did in response is laugh quietly, then he said, "is it?"
Me: Dang that was a long ass chapter. Well, for any of you old fans out there, Misty and Brock are scheduled to be travelling with Max and Bonnie for about 7-10 chapters. Hope you enjoy that! Anyways, I left the ending there vague on purpose. Try to figure out what it means. Believe me when I say it's harder to figure out than it sounds. Anyways, the reason this took so damn long to write was because of how many ideas for this were thrown out and recycled and thrown out again. And also, it's legendarily long. Anyways guys, I'm out for now. Peace.
