Chapter 27: Hatred and Regret
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon and I didn't create Pokemon Reborn
Warning: Some Blood and Gore
Everyone is starring at Infernape who is growling at them with the red aura as well as the fire crown growing, "Wh-what's up with I-Infernape?" Victoria asked terrified by how Infernape's acting as she took a step back and away from him.
"I-I don't know. I-I've never seen or felt so much power coming from a Pokemon." Kiki answered scared herself.
"He's making me want to hide under a bed." Cain added on terrified and sweating a bit.
"IIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!" Infernape roared as he reared his head back before snapping it forward firing a Flamethrower, but it was in the form of an orange and yellow beam.
"GET DOWN!" Kiki shouted as everyone bent down so that they are lying on the ground and avoided the Flamethrower.
The Beam moved to the right making Solaris, Taka, Cal, Garchomp and Magmortar bent down as well and avoided the beam.
The beam moved to the right slicing boulders in half and making them melt. The beam soon collided with the PULSE Machine as well as Camerupt and created an explosion.
Soon Infernape stopped his attack, "THE PULSE!" Solaris shouted as everyone turned, when the smoke cleared it revealed literally nothing, as if the machine and Camerupt were erased from existence.
"P-P-Please tell me, I-I did not just see that." Cain shuttered scared as he slowly stood back on his feet.
"Ok, I-I won't." Victoria replied as she stood back up and soon Kiki followed as well.
Solaris, Taka and Cal are shocked beyond the point before they turned back to Infernape who is growling at them.
"T-That Infernape just destroyed the PULSE and the Camerupt with it." Taka explained as he took a few steps backwards in fear.
Solaris gritted his teeth, "Indeed. And now he'll pay. Garchomp Dragon Rush!"
"GGGAAAARRRR!" Garchomp roared as he leaped forward and flew towards Infernape as his body became surrounded by blue dragon energy.
Infernape glanced towards Garchomp, he raised his right fist, as it surrounded itself in a white light, when Garchomp was about to slam into Infernape, he swung his right fist lightning fast, slamming under Garchomp's chin, smashed through Garchomp's Dragon Rush and sending him high in the sky as he grunted in pain.
Everyone was shocked by this, even Solaris by the fact Infernape stopped Garchomp dead in his track when before he couldn't do anything against the Sinnoh Pseudo legendary.
Infernape roared as he slammed his right fist on the ground, before he leaped up towards Garchomp, leaving behind a small crater as his body surrounded by blue as well as white fire and flew like a meteor.
He flew above Garchomp, made a faced downward at Garchomp, flew towards him, slammed into Garchomp's chest making him shout in pain, Infernape slammed him on the ground and created an explosion.
Everyone turned away by the explosion, when the smoke died down everyone turned back and saw Garchomp lying in a small crater with Infernape standing over him, casting a death glare and still growling.
"IIIIIINNNNNN!" Infernape roared as he raised his right fist, as both of his fists surrounded by a white light.
He swung his right arm on Garchomp's chest as he raised his left fist, "GGGGAAAAARRRRR!" Garchomp roared in pain as his eyes shot wide open.
As Infernape pulled his right fist away, he swung his left fist into Garchomp's chest making him grunt in pain and he continued this without any sign of stopping.
Victoria and both Pikachu's turned away, unable to watch this. Solaris growled at this and took out an Ultra Ball, "Gyarados Hydro Pump!" Solaris's Gyarados appeared, before he reared his head back, then snapping it forward and fired a blast of water from his mouth.
When the Hydro Pump was about to collide with Infernape he vanished making the Hydro Pump hit a boulder.
"What the?!" Solaris shouted.
When Gyarados stopped his attack, Infernape appeared in front of his face with his Mach Punch still in effect.
"IIIIIINNNNNN!" Infernape roared as he slammed his fist into Gyarados's face making him roar in pain before Infernape pushed him and send him flying and crashed behind Solaris.
Everyone just stared at Gyarados who is barely struggling to get up, "W-where did th-this power come from?!" Taka asked.
No one answered him as Infernape landed, before he leaped towards Gyarados with his body now surrounded by blue and white fire.
Infernape slammed into Gyarados creating an explosion with blue and white shockwaves flying from it and making everyone cover or turn away to protect themselves.
When the smoke cleared it revealed Gyarados unconscious and scorch marks all over his body. Infernape is glaring at Solaris and growling even more.
Everyone is shocked by this, "N-no way . . ." Taka said in disbelief by the fact that his father's Pokemon was defeated so easily when it had the type advantage.
Infernape turned to Taka who step away fearfully, before Infernape dashed towards him with his fist surrounded by a white aura.
"Everyone attack!" Solaris shouted as he released a Staraptor, a Scizor and an Excadrill.
Staraptor flapped her wings hard and fired light blue sawblades. Scizor opened his pincers and fired a silver beam from each of them before they merged into one. Excadrill brought his blade-like hands next to each other created a blue sphere in between them, before he threw it.
Infernape saw the attacks heading his way, soon his body was surrounded by blue and white fire and leaped towards them.
Infernape and Solaris's attacks slammed into other, which created a massive explosion and a strong gust of wind making everyone turn away by the force.
Soon Infernape was sent flying, crashed into a boulder and buried him in rubble.
Solaris returned all of his Pokemon and turned to Taka, "Retreat!" Solaris ordered making Taka nod his head in response.
The pair ran towards a cliff, jumped over the edge and slid down the edge out of sight.
Soon when they left everyone remaining turned to where Infernape got buried, they watched the spot for a bit and waited for something to happen, but nothing happened.
"D-Do you think Infernape got knocked out?" Cain asked.
"IIIIINNNNN!" Infernape roared as a fire pillar shot up from where he was, which caused the rubble to melt into nothing, revealing him on his feet and looking up.
"You just had to ask." Victoria replied without looking at him.
Soon Infernape looked straight with him panting heavily, but with the fire-crown not dying down, he didn't see Solaris, Taka or Garchomp. He glanced to the right where he saw Cal and Magmortar starring at him, Cal was nervous while Magmortar was in a battle stance. Infernape then glanced to the left and saw Cain, Victoria, Kiki and both Pikachu all scared and anxious about what will he do.
Infernape glanced down and saw his trainer lying on the ground with Cain, Victoria and Kiki around him.
Infernape growled louder as he fully turned to left, reared his head back and fired an orange and yellow beam in their direction.
Everyone ducked down avoided the attack, "What the hell is he doing?! We're on his side!" Cain shouted.
"His rage has blinded him! He's not thinking straight!" Kiki shouted.
Cal turned towards Infernape, "Magmortar use Thunderbolt!" Magmortar fired a yellow lightning bolt form his left cannon arm.
It slammed into Infernape making him screech in pain stopping Infernape from attacking further.
Cain, Victoria and Kiki turned to Cal in surprised. Soon Magmortar stopped his attack. Infernape looked down a bit, his growling seemed to have been lowered and with his body now paralyzed.
Infernape slowly turned his head facing Cal and Magmortar, dashed from his spot leaving a small crater from underneath where his feet were, as his right fist surrounded by a white light.
He slammed his Mach Punch into Magmortar's stomach making him cough up saliva, Infernape pushed him sending him flying and crashed into a boulder.
Infernape slowly turned his head towards Cal. Infernape slowly walked towards him, making Cal walk backwards in fear, until he stopped by the edge of the cliff that leads down into the lava.
Cal looked down at the lava, before turning back at Infernape and saw his murderous expression while growling.
Kiki jumped from where she was with five Poke Balls in her hands, "Everyone stop Infernape!" Kiki shouted as the rest of her Pokemon appeared, tackled Infernape to the ground and restrained him.
Machamp, held his right arm, Lucario, held his left, Gallade held his left leg, Toxicroak held his right leg and Hitmonlee held his head.
Infernape tried to free himself by tossing and turning as well as roaring but was unsuccessful.
Suddenly Infernape roared louder than before as his body was surrounded by an orange fire sending all of Kiki's Pokemon flying and crash on the ground or against boulders.
Infernape, flew in the air with the fire changing into blue, before he came back down, he crashed into the ground creating a crater, created a strong blast of wind making everyone turn away by the wind.
When the dust cleared it revealed Infernape, he turned his head towards Kiki making her flinch in fear and took a few steps back.
Infernape slowly walked towards Kiki as he continued to growl and with his fire crown huge. Victoria, Cain and both Pikachu's ran in front of Kiki in a battle stance, with Victoria ready to fight Infernape.
When Infernape was a few feet away from them, Infernape raised his right which is surrounded by a white light, swung it forwards ready to hit anyone.
"INFERNAPE!" A voice shouted making Infernape stop where he was as everyone turned to the source and saw Ash wake panting, with blood rushing out of his left shoulder, his right eye closed and leaning against a boulder.
"ASH!" Cain, Victoria, Cal and Kiki shouted in shock by the fact he's still alive.
"PIKA!" Ash's Pikachu shouted as well.
Infernape turned and slowly walked towards Ash with his Blaze not showing any sign of dropping.
Victoria saw this and was terrified for Ash, "Ash get away! He'll kill you!" Victoria screamed in concern.
"N-no, h-he (Pant) won't." Ash replied softly but just loud enough for them to hear him.
He stood straight while holding his right arm over his left shoulder and opened his right eye.
Infernape continued to walk towards Ash as he continued to growl. When Infernape was in front of Ash. Ash smiled, "I-Infernape (Pant) y-you k-know I (Pant) be-believe in you." Ash told Infernape as he raised his right hand and moved it towards Infernape.
Infernape just stood there while breathing heavily and growling, but he didn't stop Ash's advance.
Victoria and Cain were worried because Ash is going to get himself kill. Victoria was about to run towards them but was stopped when Kiki placed her right arm on her shoulder.
Victoria turned to her sensei and saw her shaking her head.
Victoria turned back to Ash still worried.
Ash placed his right hand on Infernape's left cheek with his smile never leaving. Soon Infernape's breathing started to slow down, after a bit he slowly closed his eyes, as he did the fire crown started to shrink, once it was back to its normal size, Infernape's eyes slowly fluttered opened revealing them without the red aura and turned to Ash.
"In, Infernape?" Infernape asked confused and tired.
Ash sighed, "Th-thank (Pant) go-goodness yo-your ba-" Ash's eyes closed and started to lean forward and became unconscious.
Infernape saw this and his eyes shot wide open, "In!" Infernape shouted as he caught Ash.
"Ash!" Victoria shouted as she, Cain, Kiki and both Pikachu ran up to them.
"PIKA PI!" Ash's Pikachu shouted in concern as well.
Infernape turned to them and everyone saw Infernape's eyes are normal again.
Kiki examined the unconscious trainer, "He's losing a lot of blood, we need to get him back to the academy now!" Kiki told the group making everyone nod in response.
As Victoria grabbed Ash, Infernape dropped on his knees before he fell on the ground on his stomach and became unconscious.
"Great. That's all we need." Cain said with sarcasm. Kiki reached for Infernape's Poke Ball, returned him, she turned to her Pokemon and returned all of them.
Kiki turned to Cain, "Help me." Kiki told Cian making him nod in response.
Cain hosted Ash on Kiki's back as they ran back to the academy with Ash's Pikachu following them.
Victoria was about to follow them, "Victoria!" Cal shouted making Victoria narrowed her eyes, slowly turned to Cal and glared at him.
She saw Cal with a regret expression, "I never meant for any of this to happen. Believe me." Cal pleaded.
Victoria narrowed her eyes even more, "Tell that to Ash." Victoria replied in a cold tone making Cal flinch by this.
"My best friend could die, you worked with Team Meteor, you killed Sensei's partner! AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY, THAT YOU NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN!" Victoria shouted with tears falling from her eyes.
Cal looked down ashamed, "I'm sorry." Cal apologized as he swung his right arm, as he released something from his hand and it flew towards Victoria.
She caught it and turned to it revealing it to be Ash's Z-Ring with blood stains on it.
Victoria turned to Cal, only to see that he released his Charizard, hopped on his back and flew away.
Victoria merely watched Cal flew away, "Pika, pi?" Her Pikachu asked in a worried tone.
Victoria turned to her Pikachu, "Come on." Victoria replied as she ran away hoping to catch up with the others.
Soon Victoria caught up with the others and they all ran to the Academy where the students and other teachers saw the group.
"Get every Medical pack NOW!" Kiki shouted as everyone nodded.
Soon a doctor and a nurse ran up to them with a bed, Kiki laid Ash on it as the nurse pushed him inside the school, "What the hell happened to him?!" A doctor asked.
"He was slashed by a Garchomp." Kiki answered.
"How is he still alive?!" A nurse asked.
They ran inside to the infirmary, laid Ash on the bed and started to get him stable.
Kiki turned to Victoria and Cain, "Stay here." Kiki told the pair making them nod in response.
Kiki ran inside as Victoria, took Ash's Pokemon to Nurse Joy to get them healed, who was shocked when she saw the state of them and began healing them.
Victoria came back outside the infirmary with Cain waiting and the pair stood outside waiting.
After about 10 minutes they heard a whirling. Victoria and Cain ran outside and saw a helicopter descending with Ame standing on the legs while holding a handle with a serious expression on her face.
When the helicopter landed Ame jumped off, with Cain and Victoria starring at her, "What happened?! What was that pillar of fire that shot here!" Ame demanded to know.
Victoria and Cain were surprised, "Wait . . . You saw that!?" Cain asked.
"I did I see it? The whole city saw it! So, what . . . happened." Ame demanded to know.
Victoria took a step forward, "You may want to follow us." Victoria told Ame as she ran back to the academy with Cain and Ame following her.
When they got inside, Victoria gestured Ame to go inside, which she did and her eyes wide open in horror but what she saw.
Kiki saw Ame and walked up to her, "Hello Ame." Kiki greeted Ame.
Ame turned to Kiki, "Kiki, what the hell happened to Ash?!" Ame asked in shock.
Kiki sighed as she glanced down before glancing back at Ame and her a quick summery of what happened.
After Kiki was done explaining Ame was shocked down to the core. Soon her expression turned serious as she narrowed her eyes, she pulled out her phone and call the hospital.
After about 20 minutes, another Helicopter landed with a doctor and a nurse ran towards the academy with some equipment.
Ame explained what happened and as the mainland doctor and nurse helped the Apophyll Doctor's to stabilize Ash.
Nurse Joy had finished stabilizing Ash's Pokemon and are now on healing beds with glass around them, sleeping and is now helping the student's Pokemon that were injured during the fight.
Victoria, Cain, Kiki and Ame are waiting outside waiting to hear Ash's condition.
After about an hour and a half, the mainland doctor and nurse came out making everyone turn to them, "Doctor, how is he?" Victoria asked the doctor with tears falling from her eyes.
The doctor sighed, "He lost a lot of blood. It was a miracle that he's alive at all. We did manage to stop the bleeding, then we did a Blood Transfusions, which managed to stabilize him and after a long rest he'll be okay." Doctor answered.
Everyone sighed in relief, while Victoria wiped the tears from her eyes, "Thank Arceus." Victoria said in relief, with Cain giving a small smile.
Victoria turned to the doctor, "Can I go see him?" Victoria asked.
"Sure, but only one guest." The doctor replied making everyone nod in response as Victoria walked in and saw Ash lying on the bed asleep who has wires attached to him from the machines and with a mechanical ventilator to help with his breathing.
Victoria stared sadly at Ash with new tears falling from her eyes again and looked down, "(Sob) I'm so (Sob) so-sorry (Sob) Ash." Victoria apologized between sobs as she got on her knees, grabbed his right hand and she leaned her forehead on it.
Outside Kiki and Cain were telling Ame what happened on the mountain in full detail this time, "So what you're telling me is that, that huge pillar of fire wasn't caused by the volcano, but by Ash's Infernape?" Ame asked.
The pair nodded in response, "I've never seen anything like that before. It was as if Infernape had been taken over by a demon." Cain explained and remembered the look in Infernape's eyes and his expression.
"I've seen hatred in a lot of people and Pokemon before, but none of that can compare to what I saw today." Kiki added on.
Ame looked down for a bit, until he turned back to the pair, "Where is Infernape?" Ame asked in a serious tone.
Ame and Kiki walked towards the Pokemon centre. Nurse Joy saw the pair, "Hello Kiki. What can I do for you?" Nurse Joy asked as she is finished wrapping bandage around a Hitmonchan.
"Where are Ash's Pokemon?" Kiki asked.
"They are in the back, why?" Joy asked.
"We need to see them, particularly his Infernape." Ame replied.
Joy nodded, "Sure follow me." Joy replied as she walked through a door leading to a surgery room.
Once they were inside Nurse Joy's eyes widen, "Huh!?" Joy asked shocked.
Kiki and Ame saw 6 beds but only five Pokemon on them, with Infernape not lying on his
"Where is he?" Ame asked.
"I-I don't know! He shouldn't be even be awake let along walking!" Joy shouted.
Kiki released her Lucario, "Can you find Infernape?" Kiki asked making Lucario nod in response.
Lucario closed her eyes as the appendages raised as she tried to find Infernape's aura.
After about a minute, Lucario's appendages dropped as she opened her eyes, "You found him?" Kiki asked making Lucario nod in response as she walked away with Ame and Kiki following her.
After about 5 minutes they heard a smashing sound, they ran towards the sound until they saw Infernape, who has bandages wrapped around his right leg and smashing his head on a wall making a trail of blood coming from where he's hitting.
Kiki and Ame can feel the amount of regret that is coming from him, "Stay here." Kiki said as she walked towards Infernape.
Infernape heard footsteps approaching him, Infernape turned and saw Kiki walking towards him.
Infernape turned back at the wall, "You know getting angry at yourself for failing to protect someone close to you is normal." Kiki told Infernape making him glance at her.
Kiki smiled, "I can see that you hold a great amount of love for Ash and I'm sorry, because of me he got hurt." Kiki apologized.
Infernape fully turned his head towards her. Kiki sat down on the sand, with her legs crossed making Infernape follow suit, "It's learning how to channel your rage is the way to defeat your inner demon." Kiki explained.
Infernape glanced down, "Let me show you how to channel your rage, so you can defeat your inner demon." Kiki offered making Infernape glanced back at Kiki and nodded his head.
Meanwhile
Solaris is watching his Garchomp and Gyarados from behind window. Garchomp as well as Gyarados are lying on a separate medical bed sleeping, breathing deeply, Garchomp has a bruised chest and burnt marks all over his body, while Gyarados has a bruised face as well as burnt marks all over his body as well.
Solaris watched as Meteor Doctors wrapped bandages over Garchomp's chest, arms and legs while others wrapped bandages around Gyarados's face and parts of his body that were more injured.
Solaris narrowed his eyes showing complete rage, "That Infernape . . . he'll pay for this." Solaris swore with rage.
Soon a door opened behind Solaris making Solaris turn and saw a silhouette of a person who looks like a woman with emerald eyes who is shooting a death glare, "What . . . happened?" She asked in a cold and furious tone.
Solaris stared at her for a bit, "You see . . ." Solaris answered as the screen went black.
