PMD: Fateful Saviors
Chapter 20: The Behemoth
"Groudon, also known as the Behemoth, was the one who shaped the world and it's land. With his godlike powers, he rose the continents, created the sun and gave birth to life on land by his radiance. To all that dwell on land and call it their home, they give reverence to Groudon, their creator and god"
"Water Pulse!"
"SCREEE!"
Another Magcargo screeched and disintegrated to dust as I drowned it with a blast of water. A Nidoking, Onix and Golem soon approached and I shot volley after volley, slaughtering them. I couldn't see how Blastoise's team struggled so much down here, but perhaps the worst was yet to come.
"Like all primordial forces in the universe, Groudon has a counterpart to balance the scales of creation and power. That counterpart was Kyogre, also known as the Leviathan. She created the seas wrapping around Groudon's land and gave birth to all sealife known to the world. Without either legendary to balance life, disasters will ravage the world and Pokemon will cease to exist"
"Hah!" Fiona viciously slashed at an Arbok and Sandslash with her horn, which was augmented by Swords Dance. The giant cobra and shrew were no match for the Absol's boosted power and were quickly diced apart, "Hm! Simple enough"
"Fiona, watch out!" Erina jumped in front of the Absol, shielding her from an incoming Flamethrower. The Chansey wasn't fazed, but her toolbox was scorched by the intense blast, "Oh gods, no! my toolbox!"
"There goes all your items," I groaned as I launched a stream of mud towards an enemy Nidoqueen, blinding it before taking it down with Water Pulse, "Everyone, be wary of enemy fire type attacks. We can't afford to lose everything!"
"Despite this, Groudon and Kyogre have an eternally-long grudge against each other and in the primal age, regularly clashed against each other in battle. Their feud caused so much global destruction that the god of the sky, Rayquaza had to descend to put both primal beasts into slumber. To this day, they rest in Magma Cavern and Stormy Sea respectfully. If either beast were to awaken however…"
"AAAAAAAAHHHH! MY FOOT!" Fiona shrieked as lava coated her leg, burning away the muscle and digging into her flesh like a burning vice, "ERINA!"
"Refresh!" The Chansey cried quickly, casting a divine blue light over the Absol's injured leg, removing the steaming magma, "Softboiled!"
Just as the blue light of Refresh faded, the golden light of Softboiled replaced it, mending Fiona's charred flesh. The Absol breathed a sigh of relief before noticing a Nidoking and Arbok sneaking up to the distracted Chansey.
"Watch out!" Fiona pushed Erina behind her, firing an Ice Beam to beat back the Nidoking. The Arbok lashed as quick as a whip with Poison Fang, rupturing Fiona's side, "Gah!"
"I've got you!" I launched a stream of dirt with Mud Shot to take down the Arbok before finishing off the Nidoking with Fiona's assistance, "Phew. There is no end to the wild Pokemon here, huh?"
"Yes. No wonder Blastoise's team struggled so much. With no healer on their side and their items being burnt by the flames, they were quickly smothered," Erina nodded in agreement, "That's not even factoring this blistering heat wearing us down…"
"... Then the other shall awaken as well and resume their ancient feud. All of civilization and Pokemon will be wiped out before the storm is settled by Rayquaza's interference," Erdalla finished, letting the threat and intone of Groudon hang in the air.
"Was it really necessary to recite the legend of Groudon and Kyogre while we're fighting?" I asked, biting my lip.
"I was doing my share of brawling," Erdalla frowned, "Plus, rambling calms me down. It's better than fully taking in this hellish landscape"
"That's fair," I shrugged, "I don't like this place one bit…"
"I doubt anyone would," Erdalla agreed, looking around. The entire cavern was made of hot black rock that I feared would crumble at any moment, dunking me into a river of lava. Speaking of lava, it was everywhere along with magma. Coasting around in lakes, rivers and puddles all over the dungeon, it was a miracle we even had a dungeon layout suitable for us. The residual heat from all the fire made me feel like I was boiling. I was so glad the others didn't decide to join along.
"How many floors does this dungeon have anyways?" I wondered aloud, "We were trekking here for like, seven floors already"
"I asked Blastoise's team while I healed them in the square and they said it was around twenty-ish floors," Erina proclaimed, "So we're in for the long run"
"Fantastic… I really wish we'd find a Secret Bazaar right now so we can skip to the checkpoint," Erdalla groaned, "Twenty floors is too much to skip with Pure Seeds or orbs"
"Secret Bazaar?"
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Me and my team encountered one while we were scaling Mt Freeze," The Pikachu explained to me, "We just beat a Monster House and I got distracted and…"
"She fell down a hole. Just like that," Erina finished, "Salazar tried to warn her, but it was too late. Erdalla disappeared down the dungeon floor instantly"
"Yes. And when I landed, I was greeted by a Kirlia," Erdalla nodded, "She said I was in a Secret Bazaar, a hidden service for explorers and rescuers. Inside was Mime Jr's spa…"
"... The one with miraculous healing powers. I still need to talk with that joker," Erina recalled, "There was also Swalot and his item bags. What did he do again?"
"He resupplied us with random items. I think Natalie picked up a bag or two," Erdalla replied. To keep the conversation going and chaos off our backs, I threw down a Rainy Orb, calling down a rainstorm to scare away all the wild Pokemon. Bet they never saw rain living down here, "And finally, there was Shedinja and his teleportation"
"Finally? I remember seeing one more. There was a Lickitung next to Shedinja's stand," Erina shook her hand, "We never got to know what he did though"
"We were in too much of a hurry to ask. I'm sure Kirlia would of explained it, had I not stopped her," Erdalla shrugged, "You have a good memory, Erina"
"I've been told as such," The Chansey replied proudly. Conversation ceased between us after that. I tried to ask more about Erdalla's journey up Mt Freeze and how she survived the fall down the cliff from Articuno, but the Pikachu insisted that now wasn't the time.
"Remember that this dungeon isn't a cakewalk. We don't have unlimited Rainy Orbs to fend off the Fire type Pokemon," Erdalla reminded me as she blasted an Arbok and Magmar with Thunderbolt. The Magmar fell quickly, but the Arbok countered with Gunk Shot, forcing Erdalla back, "We can't afford to lose focus. Alfrin, take the Arbok out!"
"Gotcha!" A swift stream of mud finished off the massive snake while Erdalla wiped the toxic waste off her body. The Pikachu then fished an Oran Berry out of her bag to heal her wounds.
"Mm, lukewarm. Good that it still heals properly," Erdalla frowned, "Berries stricken by permafrost don't work their magic anymore…"
"Is that what happened when you fell off the cliff? You weren't able to subside on berries because they were cold?" I asked and Erdalla shirked away from me, "Erdalla, why can you not tell me what happened? We're relatively safe now and you said rambling kept you focused"
"Alfrin, I…" The Pikachu glanced at Erina, who shook her head.
"Tell him yourself," She mouthed.
"... Fine. Good way to pass the time," Erdalla sighed, "After my fall, I landed in another section of the Frosty Forest. Injured and stripped of all of my items, I trudged through the thick snow and blizzard, completely alone and helpless"
"That blizzard was caused by Articuno. It should have repelled any Pokemon not native to the forest," Fiona frowned, "Especially in your condition, you should have frozen solid. How did you…"
"This was after Alfrin and the others defeated the legendary bird. The blizzard must have been dying down," Erdalla replied, "Anyways, my destination was Mt Freeze. I was hoping to reunite with Alfrin and receive healing"
"Something held you up, right? After all, me, Howard and Fiona began our ascent far before you arrived," I asked and the Pikachu nodded.
"Correct. I was stopped in the snowfall by… Gengar," Erdalla's expression morphed into one of anger and her hand closed into a fist. Residual sparks blew off her body and I feared standing even close to her, "But not in his usual purple look. Instead he was a pale, white and faceless ghost, indetectable in the snowy canvas"
Her voice quivered when she described Gengar's form. I began to speak up to tell her to stop if she wanted, but she continued anyway.
"I was paralyzed in fear," Erdalla admitted, tears sparkling on her eyes. Quickly however, she wiped them away, maintaining her solemn expression, "Gengar got into my head and exploited my greatest fear: something that I can't see, attack or comprehend. He grabbed me a-and… humiliated me like nothing else"
"... What did he do?"
"Enough Alfrin. I've said enough!" Erdalla cried, gritting her teeth to stop the tears from flowing, "That was the lowest I've ever been in my life. I don't want to say more"
"But…"
"Alfrin, lay off. She clearly doesn't want to be pressed," Erina scolded me before dropping down to a whisper, "When we found her, she was covered in bruises everywhere, along with marks on her neck. Gengar must of beaten her up before strangling her"
"I was fearing something worse," I admitted, "Still, that must have been terrible given her condition…"
"Indeed. It wasn't only her body that was scarred. Her pride was broken too…" Erina murmured as she glanced at Erdalla, who distanced herself from us after her outburst, "Judging by her reaction to Gengar at the square, I can say she's got a deep, resentful grudge towards him"
"Definitely. She has been humiliated by Gengar thrice now. First at Sinister Woods, then in the forest outskirts of Mt Blaze and now Frosty Forest," I nodded, "No wonder she hates him so much"
"I can't imagine she's very healthy mentally after all of that. You're the closest one to her. Watch for any signs of trouble and tell me, alright?" Erina requested, "Keep her grounded"
"She's improving. I've noticed since Natalie fell into that coma," I assured, "I'm sure she's alright"
"Hopefully. Grudges never benefit anyone…"
We proceeded through the rest of Magma Cavern smoothly. Despite the power difference, we surmised that the reason Blastoise's team fell was because their healing items were destroyed. Erina was a near-endless source of recovery, so even if we were backed against a wall by a Monster House, she could keep us topped off. All we needed to do was shield the healer.
"Alfrin, after me! Spread your Water type attacks out with Surf!" Erdalla cried as she let loose a flare of electricity with Discharge, obliterating a crowd of Pokemon save for a few Rhydon and Sandslash. Now it was my turn.
"Take this!" I felt a tingling feeling in my gut as a new technique with water welled up inside me. I spat out a glob of water with Water Pulse before transforming it into a tidal wave mid-flight, washing away the enemy Ground types with ease. Fiona mopped up the last remnants coming for Erina and we moved onward. We were on the seventeenth floor now, hopefully close to our destination.
"In our condition, we wouldn't even be fit to brawl with Groudon. You can't beat exhaustion with healing," Erina heaved, exhausted from her efforts in the dungeon. I couldn't blame her. She used Softboiled and Refresh in the nick of time many times to save us from a grisly fall in magma, a fatal burning or a hard bruise from a rock. She already had to dunk two Max Elixirs to keep the power points up.
"Let's rest then. Hopefully a rest spot is coming up," Erdalla decided as she cracked a One-Room Orb on the ground, destroying all the walls in the entire dungeon floor. The enemy Pokemon, angered that their homes disappeared, charged at us, but a simple Discharge plus Surf combo from me and Erdalla took them out. I hated that we were killing so many Pokemon, but they shot first, so we could only retaliate.
"The sin of murder is great. I wonder how we rescuers will be judged once we die," Erina muttered to herself as she clasped her hands in prayer, "To explore mystery dungeons mean we intrude on Pokemon territory. We kill in retaliation to their defense of their home. Is it wrong for us to be doing this? We're painting our hands in their blood"
"That's why I try to avoid engagements if we can, but these Pokemon give us no choice," Erdalla scolded, "If we don't counterattack, we die. The sins and bodies we pile is great, but they're all in self-defense. For the most part"
"Does that excuse the fact that we murder and tear apart families in our adventures through mystery dungeons?" Erina argued, "This can't possibly be the natural order"
"Enough Erina. The heat is getting to your head," Erdalla growled, "Stay focused on the task at hand. We're almost there"
One floor later, we finally reached a rest spot, where we had a breather for the first time in the dungeon. Even then, that breather wasn't refreshing with the noxious air around us killing my lungs. I couldn't wait to get out of here.
"Hm? What's this?" Fiona piped up while we were resting. She walked over to the rest spot's exit, picking up a fallen toolbox, "Someone on Blastoise's team must of dropped this"
"Let's see if there is anything useful," Erdalla took the toolbox, looking through it, "It's a miracle these stuff didn't burn in the heat here. There are some Blast Seeds, utility orbs, a few berries and…"
Erdalla pulled free a mysterious beige tablet with intricate writing on it, "... This Mystery Part?"
"A what?"
"Aah! Put that away!" Fiona shoved the plate back into the toolbox, "Don't put it up to the light of the lava or…"
Suddenly, a powerful quake began rocking the dungeon, sending small pebbles raining down on us as the cavern threatened to collapse.
"... That will happen!" Fiona cried before the ground split beneath us, dropping all of us down a great ravine. The air whistled like crazy beside us as we fell to the endless, crimson abyss below. This was the end. We couldn't survive a fall like this unless…
"Fiona, take this!" Erdalla tossed a Blast Seed to the Absol, who was frantically looking for anything to latch onto, "Once we're close to hitting the ground, use the Blast Seed's explosion to cushion your fall. Same for you Erina, but use Egg Bomb!"
"You're insane! How the hell is that supposed to work?!" Fiona screamed.
"It's all we've got. Maybe it will work!" Erdalla shouted back before turning to me, "Alfrin, what can you do?! I don't have anymore Blast Seeds!"
"I don't know!" I cried. It was hard to think and focus when you were plummeting towards the ground at incredible speeds, but I had to do something to survive. Use my toolbox to cushion the fall? No, that would just impale me on the box's shards. Maybe I had a move that would work? But what can…?
"Surf! Maybe before we land, I could conjure a small pool to break our fall! It'll hurt like hell, but…"
"Whatever works, Alfrin! Here it comes!" Erdalla shouted, holding her Blast Seed in preparation to throw. I concentrated and spat a large mass of water towards the approaching ground, manipulating it to spread into a wave like before. With a yell of fury, I raised the water mass to catch us, gently bringing us down to ground level. The impact didn't hurt me, but Erina had to heal some broken bones from Erdalla, herself and Fiona. Still, we were alive.
"Thank goodness we landed safely. Looks like we skipped a good couple of floors in the dungeon," Erdalla breathed a sigh of relief as she looked around herself, "This isn't a dungeon layout so…"
"It must be another checkpoint. Or the end where Groudon is," Erina quivered in nervous fear.
"Look over there! It's Alakazam!" Fiona pointed and we all turned to see the team leader, battered and caked in dust. Yet still, he was standing and staring ahead into the great lava pool, spoons raised
"Alakazam!" I called as we approached him, "There you are. Where's Groudon and your teammates?"
"Hm! So you've arrived. I'm surprised to see you've survived this place," Alakazam replied, not even turning to face us, "However, I demand you stay back. Groudon is not to be messed with"
"Did Groudon take out Charizard and Tyranitar?"
"Yes, but we've weakened him greatly. He has retreated for now, but I know he'll be back for more," Alakazam raised his spoon, ready for a devastating Psychic, "And when he does, I'll finish him off"
"Let us help you!" Erdalla pleaded and Alakazam scowled, about to argue before a great roar pierced the air.
"No time for chat. Here he comes!" Alakazam shouted and heavy footsteps shook the ground as a massive behemoth of a Pokemon appeared in the sea of magma. I could vaguely make out his form in the haze of the lava. Only his red-plated armor-like body and seriously sharp claws were what I could see. Slowly, he reached the shoreline we were and all the tension in the air snapped at once.
"GRRROOOOOORR!" Groudon roared as he stepped onto the plain, instantly raising his hand to conjure a burning sun in the deep underground cavern.
"Go, go! Batter him with everything you've got!" Alakazam commanded as he fired his powerful Psychic, rending the air asunder in front of Groudon. The behemoth retaliated by smashing the ground in front of him, calling forth a shower of rocks with Rock Slide to bury Alakazam. The team leader teleported away in time to evade the attack and fire Psybeam, wrestling control over the attack from Groudon, "The sun powers up Fire type moves and weakens Water type ones. Keep that in mind!"
"Gotcha! Now's a good time for this!" Fiona fished out a Fire Blast TM from her toolbox, using it on herself to learn the move. While Alakazam fired back Groudon's Rock Slide to smash against the behemoth's face, Fiona launched an intense five-pointed burst of flame that crashed against Groudon's chest, burning him in a great inferno.
"GRRROORRRR!" Groudon roared in fury as it shrugged off both attacks. Suddenly, it crouched before leaping into the air…
"Earthquake! Get airborne!" Alakazam shouted as he surrounded both Erina and Erdalla in psychic energy, lifting them into the air. I used my old Surf tactic to get me off the ground while Fiona took the full brunt of the blow, crumbling to the ground in a heap. In our momentary lapse of pause, Groudon surrounded himself with an array of silver swords, indicating Swords Dance.
"Curses! His attacks won't be easy to weather now!" Alakazam growled before charging green power into his spoon, "Hidden Power Ice!"
The ice-powered shockwave crashed into Groudon's neck, staggering it. I decided to follow up with my own Ice Beam, putting more pressure onto the great behemoth. If we could keep this up, we might actually win! Erdalla's support with seeds further kept Groudon locked down, with Stun and X-Eye harrying the legendary.
"I'm taking Fiona out of this battle. She's been hit too hard!" Erina yelled as she dragged the unconscious Absol out of the cavern, "Stay safe!"
"Heal my comrades while you're at it! We can do this!" Alakazam nodded before firing another Hidden Power Ice, slamming Groudon again, "Don't let up! We're almost there!"
"Everyone back up!" Erdalla suddenly shouted and right then, Groudon exploded with Overheat, sending a shockwave of flame that caught Alakazam off guard. In one shot, our prime source of offense was down for the count.
"Revive Alakazam. I'll keep Groudon busy!" I told Erdalla and I charged the great beast before she could argue. With a mighty roar, Groudon brought down his claws in a Swords Dance boosted Dragon Claw, but I kicked myself back with Mud Shot, evading the blow. My goal wasn't to bring down Groudon, but distract it. Alakazam had to be the one to take it out. Still, Groudon's attack cleaving through the cavern wall left me in fear of what he could do next.
"Stay back!" I fired an Ice Beam that collided with Groudon's face, making him roar in agony. I didn't know why a fiery beast like him was weak to Ice and not resistant to Fire, but I wasn't complaining. I kept my beam of ice up, staggering the behemoth as the ice melted into water, touching his true nemesis.
"GRROOOORR!" Groudon, enraged with fury, came down to my face and roared, sending me flying backwards to where Alakazam and Erdalla were. Alakazam was up and walking, but he was still weakened. We needed to finish this now or else…
"GRROOOOO!' Groudon slammed down his foot, sending a rapid shockwave through the ground towards us.
"Precipice Blades! MOVE IT!" Alakazam yelled, quickly teleporting aside to avoid the blow. In a flash, Erdalla grabbed me and whisked me away with Quick Attack, effectively avoiding the massive earth spikes that shot out of the ground.
"T-thanks…" I wheezed as Erdalla let go of me.
"Never letting you die. Don't forget it," Erdalla reached into her toolbox, preparing another seed, "We can't let this go on any longer. This needs to end now!"
"Coming in! Let's light 'em up!" Suddenly, Charizard and the others appeared by the cavern entrance, looking healthy and ready to fight. Together with Fiona, they fired a double shot of Fire Blast augmented by the sun at Groudon, making him stagger in pain.
"This is a critical moment. Let's finish this!" Alakazam yelled at me as he charged another Hidden Power Ice. I nodded and prepared my Ice Beam. Before Groudon could recover, we both fired our moves on opposite sides to the great legendary, slamming his one weakness twofold: water. Groudon roared in agony when the attack ended. He stumbled in the lava, wobbling and roaring in pain before finally crumbling down, defeated for good.
"Finally… it's over," I breathed a sigh of relief as I turned to our party, "Team A.C.T, thank you helping us"
"We should be thanking you. Without your reinforcement, I doubt we would have beaten Groudon," Charizard laughed, "Alakazam couldn't last forever, you know"
"Save the chatter for when we leave," Alakazam said sternly, "Groudon will awaken again soon and it'll be angry to see us"
"Groudon will awaken again?!" Erdalla cried, "Wouldn't that mean-"
"Do not fear. He simply lost control because of the disasters disturbing his rest. He should return to normal soon," Alakazam raised his spoon, surrounding all of us in pink light, "Now let us leave this torturous place"
Instantly, all of us were teleported out of Magma Cavern and back to the entrance, where Pelipper was waiting for us.
"Wow, you made it! And you brought Team A.C.T back with you as well!" Pelipper cried in amazement, "The square will be delighted to hear this!"
"Yes… we shouldn't trouble you with the return trip. We can get back to the square ourselves," Alakazam told Pelipper, "You're free to go"
"Oh, alright. Glad to see you're alright," Pelipper nodded to Team A.C.T before turning to us, "And thank you Team Lazulian for rescuing them. If you ever need my flight services, call on me. I'll give you a discount!"
"I'll think about that. Thank you!" Erdalla nodded and Pelipper took off in the frigid winds, heading back to Pokemon Square. With another flick of his spoon, Alakazam teleported us back home as well.
…
We reappeared in the square center and instantly, everyone swarmed in a chorus of cheering and applause.
"You did it! You really did it!" Shiftry grinned from ear to ear, "You beat Magma Cavern and rescued Team A.C.T!"
"Did you beat Groudon too?" Caterpie asked and Alakazam nodded in affirmation, "Wow…!"
The cheering got louder and we got praise and offers from all over. It was frankly embarrassing, but I was glad Erdalla finally settled back into the square after the exile incident.
"Team Lazulian, allow us to genuinely thank you for aiding us. You are first rate explorers and rescuers to come for us in Magma Cavern," Alakazam told us formally, "Take pride in that. You have risen above every rescue team in the square with your achievements"
"Even your team, Alakazam?"
"Even mine. Your team is destined for great things," Alakazam nodded, "And its course isn't stopping anything soon"
The festivities continued until suddenly, a loud cry echoed through the air, silencing everyone.
"Huh? What was that?" Lombre asked.
The cry sounded again out of nowhere. It sounded like a bird's cry, but no avian could possibly be that loud.
"Where's it coming from?" Golem asked in confusion.
The cry repeated again and Erdalla perked up.
"I recognize that voice! It's Xatu's!" The Pikachu realized "From the Hill of the Ancients!"
"Ah, so it's telepathy. I wonder what he needs to tell us…" Alakazam wondered as the cry resounded and Xatu's voice was loud and clear.
"To all Pokemon! Calling all Pokemon!" Xatu echoed, commanding our attention, "Terrible it is! From the sky falls a massive star!"
"A massive star…? A meteor?!" Alakazam cried and the rest of the townsfolk panicked, but Xatu silenced them with his voice.
"From the sky calls a star! It is huge, a giant of a star. The star, it falls. Straight to us," Xatu continued cryptically, "Disasters in nature, there have been many. The balance of the world has been upset. All because of the star. The star that moves closer"
"So the meteor is the thing that's causing all these disasters!" Lombre realized, "How are we supposed to stop that?!"
"If it keeps coming, it will crash onto the world. It shall be terrible," Xatu continued, "Something must be done"
"Tell us then, Xatu. Can the falling star be stopped?" Alakazam asked and there was a brief pause before Xatu answered.
"... There is but one way. To prevent collision, there is one deity to ask. Rayquaza, lord of the skies," Xatu replied, "He is who must be asked to destroy the falling star"
"But if Rayquaza is the lord of the skies, how can we reach him? I assume his domain is known by few and visited by nobody," Erdalla said uneasily.
"To reach the sky, Alakazam and I will amplify our Teleport abilities. We can send but only two Pokemon up to the sky to request Rayquaza," Xatu answered, "However, the world of the sky is a universe of its own. What will become of the Pokemon in the sky… even I cannot guess"
"Two Pokemon… Me and Alfrin will go," Erdalla decided decisively, "There is no better choice. Am I wrong?"
"You aren't, but…" Alakazam stared at Erdalla carefully, "Are you sure? There's no telling what could happen in Rayquaza's domain. You might not even be able to return home"
"For the fate of the world, we will sacrifice anything. Even ourselves," Erdalla declared before looking at me for affirmation. I nodded. This was what Gardevoir meant by my role's climax. I came here to stop the disasters and this is the crowning moment: ascending Rayquaza's domain to destroy the meteor and finally attain world peace. This was the true way, "Rest assured, we will see this mission through. Absolutely"
"Alfrin and Erdalla, listen here," Xatu called, "Discuss we will, Alakazam and I, about how Teleport can be amplified. Departure is tomorrow. Rest and prepare you should until then"
"We understand," Erdalla nodded.
"Last word," Xatu said, "Dangerous will be your adventure. But fail, you must not. Surpass yourselves"
On that final word, Xatu seemed to vanish. The townsfolk dispersed, leaving us to prepare. Erdalla turned to me, eyes stern and determined.
"Alfrin, are you ready for this? This is the final step of our quest," Erdalla said decisively, "To ascend Rayquaza's home and end the disasters once and for all… it is to fulfill your destiny finally"
"So you've figured it out. My role here is to save the world"
"Yes. You, Alfrin, turned into a Pokemon to save the world from the disasters. And I will see your job fulfilled no matter what," Erdalla turned her back on me, heading back to base, "For you are our world's fateful savior"
