Chapter 52
Drake ran through the shadows of the gym, being blinded by the open door that led to the sight of Morty chasing after a small brown and cream colored Pokemon.
"Come back here! Normal types aren't aloud to live in my gym!" Morty screamed as he chased after the Pokemon.
"EEEE!" The Pokemon cried as it weaved through the many people on the busy and cluttered sidewalks. A golden building rose as Drake approached it. It had a long needle on the top and it read 'Burned Tower Memorial'. He prepared himself and ran into the building.
"Drake!" A voice boomed in his head. Drake fell to his knees, catching the attention of Morty who just happened to be looking back. He growled and left the chase with the pest, running to Drake's side.
"What do you need?" Drake snarled in his head.
"You will not speak to me like that! I am the God of all Pokemon and Creation!" Arceus roared. Drake's head rang with pain, and he cradled himself in the fetal position.
"Alright, Alright!"
"That's what I thought. You just entered a place where your spiritual connection is stronger. I am able to talk to you with little to no interference and detection. This place, even though it has been rebuilt, has been a sacred place to the Legendary Pokemon of Johto. The three beasts were created here, and the rivalry between Lugia and Ho-Oh started here. Ho-Oh is forbidden from these grounds, but I'm thinking in this time of crisis that rule will be broken. I've come here to tell you to be careful here," Arceus explained.
"Where are you? Why can't you just put an end to this now. Wipe them out!"
"I have been constrained to my realm after fleeing Darkrai once again. There army is becoming more powerful by the day. You must find a way to stop Team Rocket on their journey to bring the Gods back. The Legendary Pokemon can't assist in that part. That's why they must use Team Rocket, but Team Rocket doesn't know the Gods they wish to revive aren't going to keep any humans around at all," Arceus answered.
"Okay. We will handle Team Rocket. Are there Gods we can revive?" Drake questioned.
"That is up to you my friend. I cannot make that decision for you. You must make a choice for the whole of humanity that resists Team Rocket and the Dark Five's endeavors."
"I want to! We need the back up!" Drake said.
"As you wish. Read the prophecy and find out what is needed to revive the Gods you wish. Do some research to figure out which ones will be good or not. I can assist you in that later. First, you need to find the substance that will power the resurrection. Follow Team Rocket and you will find it. They plan to resurrect all sixteen to assure victory. You must restrict them from doing so. Only a few must be revived to assure there is a world to come back to after the Great War," Arceus said. His voice echoed away, and Drake opened his eyes.
Drake's group and Whitney were a block away from the Pokemon Center when Tony turned away from them and looked at the Burned Tower.
"I think I'm going to go check on Drake," Tony said, changing directions.
"Us too," Montana and Soleil said in unison.
"Fine by me. I have to get back to the gym to give my boyfie a present," Whitney said, winking. She walked off and left the group looking at each other oddly.
"Hopefully that's not a sexual present," Soleil joked.
"It probably is," Montana laughed.
"Let's get going," Tony ordered. They ran through the crowded streets and fronted the golden memorial to Burned Tower.
"Y'all go through the back and I'll go find him. I have a bad feeling about this place," Tony ordered. The two girls ran around the scenic path to the building and looped around it.
"Let's go!" Tony yelled, calling out his team. Togetic rested on his head while the rest of his team surrounded him. Seel clapped loudly, but Tony recalled him quickly.
"Sorry. You're just not that mobile," Tony said, attaching the Pokeball back to his belt. He walked up the steps to the entrance when a shadow shot across the door. His Pokemon growled and began to look around.
"Your friend is in our hands now!" A voice boomed. The shadow stopped in front of the door and flared. A dozen Gengar appeared in a straight and organized line in front of the shadow.
"Are you Darkrai?" Tony asked.
"I'm something more familiar!" The shadow shot up and through the building, leaving the Gengar to take care of the eleven year old.
"Time to battle, guys," Tony snarled. His Ivysaur ripped her vines, his Magmar blew flames, his Togetic put up his fists, and his usually calm and timid Teddiursa bared his fangs.
"Was that like a seizure or something?" Morty quizzed as he picked Drake up.
"No. I just got ahead of myself," Drake joked, laughing it off.
"Well, you made me lose my pest. That thing might be useful someday," Morty grunted. "I give up though."
"Mind if I take up the search?" Drake questioned. Morty thought on it and nodded along.
"Have fun," Morty said as he walked out of the building. "Check the basement when you're done or whatever. There is some interesting crap, and from what I've heard, it could be of use to you!" Drake looked around. The inside of the tower was plain, but it was nice. The stair case was decorated with glossy brown wood that matched the floors and roof.
"Where would an Eevee go in this place?" Drake asked himself. He spotted a small hole in a door and opened it.
"What are you doing here?" A voice growled. Drake turned around to see his rival Deena Elm, Professor Elm's eldest daughter.
"Searching for something," Drake answered, acting as if he didn't notice her.
"Well, if its an Eevee, I know where it is," Deena snickered.
"Tell me," Drake ordered, turning to face her. She had her fall clothing on. She wore a brown jacket with fur on the collar and a pink beanie. Her jeans were very tight, and she sported a yellow Pikachu designed shirt underneath her jacket.
"Only if you win," Deena chuckled. "Which won't happen!"
"Where?"
"Here of course. This room is fairly big," Deena said. Drake pulled out a Pokeball, calling her first choice.
"Slugma!"
"Donphan!"
"Two-on-two," Deena said. "My third isn't very land mobile."
"Your Chinchou evolved?" Drake quizzed.
"Yep," she answered snootily, "into a powerful Lanturn!"
"Donphan, use Rollout," Drake ordered immediately. Donphan rolled up and charged Slugma.
"Ancientpower my friend!" Deena roared. Slugma glowed white with powerful energy. The energy slid off of the Fire type, creating an afterimage of it. The image whirled into a powerful ball that shot at Donphan.
"Stroll through it," Drake huffed.
"Phan!" Donphan screeched as his speed picked up to higher standards. Donphan smashed through the energy and plowed over Slugma.
"Ma," the Fire Pokemon grunted, spitting flames everywhere in anger.
"Slugma, fight back with Flame Burst to the max," Deena ordered angrily. Flames engulfed Slumga's lava body before shooting at Donphan.
"Defense Curl into a massive Slam," Drake chuckled. Donphan rolled into a ball, using his thick skin to protect all surfaces of his body. The flames tried to penetrate the rough skin, but to no avail.
"Slam!" Donphan unrolled and leaped in the air with his truck swinging. He hit Slugma right in the face, scattering the lava of its body.
"Recover into another Ancientpower!" The lava crawled back together and formed Slugma's body once more. The bright energy from before shot from the new body and blasted Donphan into the new wooden wall of the building.
"Donphan, use…" Drake tried to order, but was interrupted by Donphan leaping in the air once more with a hint of electricity on his jaws. His tusks sparked as he bit into Slugma's head and slung the Fire Pokemon into the wall.
"Yeah!" Drake cheered.
"Return, Slugma," Deena snarled. "Bayleef, avenge Slugma!" Her starter Grass Pokemon flashed out of the Pokeball. She scuffed her front foot on the ground and lowered her long neck.
"Bay!"
"Phan!" Donphan roared.
"No, Donphan, return," Drake sighed, hating pulling him out. "Quilava, let's go!"
"My dad would be proud to see this battle," Deena sneered. "Go in with a Poison Powder tackle!" Bayleef charged Quilava, releasing a trail of purple powder.
"Quilava, blast her with a Smokescreen and disappear," Drake ordered quickly, knowing the consequences of letting Bayleef too close. Quilava released the black smoke and then jumped into, not revealing his position to anyone.
"Bayleef, rotated your buds to fan it away," Deena growled. Bayleef cleared the smoke and saw nothing. "Where is it?"
"Now!" Quilava jumped from the ceiling, firing several star-shaped beams at Bayleef's face. The Grass Pokemon fell to the ground, allowing Quilava to fall on her.
"Yeah!" Drake cheered. Bayleef got off the ground growling with pure rage. The Pokemon ran at Quilava with unmatched fury, but Quilava dodged every attempt she gave out.
"Control her!" Drake screamed. Deena's face was in pure shock. She never imagined her Bayleef would go off the deep end.
"Bay…Bayleef," she whimpered. Bayleef slammed into Quilava, backing him into a corner.
"Quilava, Flame Wheel to end this!" Quilava glared at Bayleef as flames surrounded his rolled up body. He sped at Bayleef with impressive speed and power.
"Reflect!" Bayleef shook her head and then created a barrier of pink light in front of her. Quilava smashed into the Reflect, stopping his rolling. The flames, however, shot around the barrier and clashed with Bayleef. The Grass Pokemon was tossed to the ground in a barrage of flames.
"I surrender!" Deena sobbed, recalling Bayleef back into her Pokeball.
"Where did Eevee go?" Drake asked furiously. Deena pointed up, and Drake saw a pair of innocent eyes beaming at him.
"Magmar, use Fire Punch," Tony ordered. The Gengar were attacking from all angles, but Tony was masterfully detaining them. Magmar's fist flared with power, and he smashed into one of the Gengar and sent it flying. Another Gengar blasted him with a multitude of Shadow Balls and knocked him to the ground. Tony recalled his Magmar and turned to face Ivysaur and her battle with another duo of Gengar.
"Leaf Storm!" Ivysaur raised leaves into the air and created a blast of wind that knocked the two Gengar into the building, knocking them out cold. The Gengar that knocked Magmar out sunk into its shadow and came up under Ivysaur. It picked Ivysaur up and threw her down on the ground roughly. Tony growled and recalled his Pokemon. He looked up to see Togetic distracting five of the Gengar in an aerial chase.
"Teddiursa, try a Thunderbolt!" Teddiursa blasted a Gengar into unconsciousness with his powerful electric blast, but he was struck by a barrage of Shadow Balls from two Gengar behind him.
"Seel, come out!" Seel exploded from his ball and used an Aurora Beam on both of them, creating two separated beams. A Gengar appeared in front of Seel and Tony, taunting them.
"Ice Shard barrage!" Seel lifted his flippers and created several different sizes of icicles, sending them at Gengar. The Gengar laughed, sending a shadow of energy under Seel. The Gengar closed its eyes and took the hit. Both Pokemon fell to the ground unconsciously.
"Togetic, you're all that's left!" Tony cried. Togetic nodded and brought the Gengar back to the ground. The five Gengar surrounded Tony and Togetic.
"Togetic, use Magical Leaf!" Dozens of colorful leaves stirred around them. They swirled and carried off a Gengar by themselves. The other Gengar growled angrily and sent Shadow Balls flying at the duo.
"TIC!" Togetic roared. He began to glow with a powerful energy. His wings grew immensely and his figure took the appearance of a bird. A blue sphere of energy blocked the attacks, and the newly evolved Togekiss spread his wings for the first time.
"Wow! How did that happen?" Tony said in awe. His Togekiss took the sky and flew over the Gengar. He flapped his wings and several spheres of orange energy fell from the sky. They struck the Gengar individually and knocked them all out.
"That was Aura Sphere," Tony said, petting his newly evolved Togekiss.
"Kiss!" He picked Tony up and carried him to the Pokemon Center.
"There is a basement entrance right here," Soleil said, opening up two wooden doors on the side of the building.
"Let's go then," Montana sighed. They walked down the musty old steps and dodged the webs left by uncertain Pokemon.
"It's so creepy under here," Soleil shuddered.
"Agreed," a voice chuckled evilly behind them. The voice was feminine and shrill.
"Yuri!" Montana screamed. Two grunts walked up behind them and cupped their mouths. They struggled, but their gloves were coated in Sleep Powder. The two girls fell into the grunts arms.
"Take them with the other one," Yuri ordered.
"Eevee, do you need help?" Drake asked, raising his arms. The small Eevee looked around before jumping into Drake's arms.
"Why are you so scared?" Drake asked. The Eevee licked his face until the power suddenly shut off.
"VEEE!" Eevee screamed. It dove into Drake's shirt, scratching Drake's chest.
"OWW!" Drake squealed. He pulled Eevee out and cradled it. "You're scared of the dark?" The Eevee nodded and cuddled Drake.
"Well, I can help you with that buddy," Drake said. Eevee nodded and rose to Drake's shoulder. It wrapped its tail around his neck as he walked out of the room.
"MMMM!" A loud muffled scream echoed through the building.
"That sounded like it came from the basement," Drake said to Eevee. The Normal type swallowed hard and nodded.
"Let's go!" Drake ran to the staircase and ran down the stairs silently, awaiting to find what made the weird noise.
