Chapter Fifty-Six:

The Doctor! Part 3


Afternoon (4:27 P.M.), Doctor Sirius's Lab

"Graah! Dammit!" Sirius recalled his shiny Grumpig, forcing Mary to jump off.

She smirked, "(If that's the best you got, then you need to get out more.)"

"Yeah, what she said!" Jackie cheered.

"That's it! I've had enough!" Sirius dragged his left hand over his face as he pulled out his last Poké Ball, "This is it. My final Pokémon!" he smirked, "And my strongest! The other two were nothing compared to this guy!"

Mary crossed her arms and smirked, "(Bring it on, sugah!)"

Smiling widely, Sirius tossed out the Poké Ball, "Go get her, Bronzong!"

The ball split open, releasing its occupant in a red arc of energy. It resembled a large, blue-green bell with two arms coming out of the upper sides. Near the bottom, it had two round, red eyes with blue-green irises and a rectangular mouth with three white, square teeth, "(Ah, finally, some action.)"

Jackie bared his fist, "Bring it!"

Sirius smiled, "Oh, I most certainly will. Bronzong, use-"

"GYAAAAAAAAAAH!" a loud, long scream sounded from the outside, "INTRUDERS!"

"HUH?!" Sirius blinked in astonishment, "WHAT THE?!"

"YEAH!" Jackie cheered, "That must be Hero with our miniature army!"

"WHAT?!" Sirius screamed as the loud sounds of battle reached them through the walls. He turned his rage-filled eyes to Jackie and Mary, "Don't think this is over! You may have stormed our base, but you'll still die here!"

"Hah!" Jackie snorted, "How? Now that all your base are belong to us, we've got the advantage!"

Sirius smirked, "Then let's see if you can keep it!" Bronzong, set up a Future Sight, then use Bulldoze!

"(I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!)" the bell raised its arms into the air, forming a light blue ball of energy that, after several seconds, instantly disappeared. While Jackie and Mary were still left in confusion over this event, the Bronzong lowered itself so that it was scraping the floor, then charged forward, churning up the ground under it as it slammed into Mary!

"GYAH!" the Flaaffy shrieked as she was knocked away by the super-effective Ground-type attack.

"MARY!" Jackie called out to her as she picked herself up, "We need to stop him from charging! Use Thunder Shock!"

"(R-Right!)" she grunted as she charged up her electricity, "(T-Take thi-)"

"(No!)" the Bronzong interrupted her with its Bulldoze, slamming into her before she could release the electricity, causing what electricity she had accumulated to blow up in her face.

She stumbled back to her feet, dazed from the last attack, "(A-Ah'm not o-outta this yet!)" she began to re-accumulate her electricity.

"(That's not going to work!)" the Bronzong said smugly as it slammed back into her even harder than before, sending her crashing into another one of Sirius's machines.

"Ugh!" she groaned as she fell down and collapsed to the floor.

Jackie bit his lip as he recalled her. You did your best. He stuffed her Poké Ball into his hoodie. Who should I bring out next? Runt would be the ideal choice, but… He thought back to his gym battle with Azur. It'd probably be best if I went with Sonja first. After all, she hasn't seen much action lately, and she could wear down the Bronzong before Runt takes it on. He smirked. Well, that's if she doesn't roast it before he gets the chance.

He pulled out Sonja's Poké Ball and tossed it out, "Go, go, Sonja!"

The ball split open, releasing the bat-dragon, who took to the air immediately, "(Awww right!)" This is it! I won my last battle, and I'll win this one too! I'll show them who's really weak!

"Go get'em, Sonja! Use Dragon Breath!" Jackie ordered.

"(YEAH!)" the Noibat flew towards the bell and prepared to blast it with a burst of breath, but was cut off before she could finish as a mysterious force surrounded her, "(W-WHAT?!)" she felt her body become heavier, forcing her to flap her wings furiously to keep aloft, but to no avail, as the force around her intensified, slamming her into the ground, "(W-What's… happening?!)" her body weighed so much that she could barely lift her head.

"SONJA!" Jackie called out.

"Hmhmhm," Sirius chuckled, "That would be Bronzong's Gravity. It's a very useful move when dealing with Flying-types like your Noibat,"

Jackie glared at him, "Damn you!" he looked over to Sonja, who was still struggling to get up, "Come on, Sonja! You can do it! You can win!"

"(YEAH!)" she yelled as she managed to force herself back up on her tiny feet, much to the amazement of Sirius and his Bronzong. Panting and heaving in exertion, she spread her wings triumphantly, "(I-I WON'T LOSE!)"

"What?! BUT HOW?!" Sirius gawked at the Noibat incredulously… but his look of amazement was soon replaced by a smug but sadistic smile, "Too bad your display of strength will still amount to nothing,"

"Huh?" Jackie and Sonja blinked in surprise.

"(GAH!)" the air above Sonja crackled, and light blue bolts of lightning fell from the ceiling striking Sonja with such force that she barely had enough time to cry out before being knocked into unconsciousness.

"SONJAAAA!" Jackie cried out.

Sirius smirked, "So, how'd you like our Future Sight? It's one of the most powerful Psychic-type moves in existence, perfect for one-shotting unsuspecting imbeciles such as yourselves,"

"Grr, you bastards!" Jackie gritted his teeth as he recalled Sonja. He glared at them, tears in his eyes, "I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO SONJA, MARY, AND DECEIT!"

The smirk on Sirius's face widened, "You can try, but you'll inevitably fail," he blinked in surprise as he noticed something about the boy, "Ooh! Is that a Pokémon egg?!"

Jackie's eyes widened in surprise, "Yeah, it is!" he narrowed his eyes, ready to defend the egg in his backpack, "Why'd you ask?"

"Oh, no reason," Sirius lied, "I'll be sure to confiscate it from you after we're through," he smiled, "I haven't done much research on Pokémon eggs, but I might as well make sure that all my bases are covered."

Rage flashed through Jackie's eyes, "I WON'T LET YOU!" he pulled out Runt's Poké Ball, "I'LL NEVER LET YOU!"
