There were three groups in this room. The young group, los Ingobernable and the newcomers, the adult group. The group that came a long way to rescue the rescue team.
All the Pokémon were happy to see them, even Vulpix. "Daddy!" Buneary said, very happy.
Lopunny was also happy to see them, especially her daughter. But the moment she called him daddy, he felt ashamed. "Don't call me daddy!"
Maria looked at Buneary's father. She could believe that he was indeed her father, for having more common features with her. She was quite surprised by his large ears and his body resembled a human.
Once she looked at him, she also looked at the others in the group. One of them had the appearance of a giant bear, the leader apparently. One looks like a long owl and looked like it had glasses on. The last one was a chubby purple pig with black pearls on her body, one on its chest and two on its head.
But still the doubt was there. How did they find them? Not just the rescue team and the human, but everyone here.
"What are you doing here?" Snivy asked, surprised.
"Obviously to rescue you and get you out of here." Ursaring said calmly.
"Yes, it is quite obvious." Cubone said. "But how did you know we were in trouble and especially how they knew we were here?"
"We were concerned that you hadn't returned, especially Hydregion." Lopunny explained. "So the three of us went to the Chaparro town."
"When we got there, we knew the obvious and the five of us went looking for you until we reached an abandoned house." Ursaring said.
"And there you found the secret path that connected to the castle." Snivy said.
It was obvious to assume that when they stepped on the abandoned house, they were greeted by the ghost-type Pokémon with the same courtesy to the rescue team, but it was also easy to assume that unlike the previous occasion, it ended differently.
"Exactly. But I have to admit, I didn't expect you guys to get into trouble. A very big one."
"Such of things, right?" Buneary said.
Mienshao, saw the intruders. All five seemed quite strong, especially that they had come this far without them realizing it until now. But what stood out the most was that she recognized Ursaring, Decidueye and Loppuny perfectly.
She felt that all of this was no coincidence. That she found the children of Loppuny and Weavile, but then the members of the Oran team appeared, at the right time. For her, coincidences do not exist.
"Well, well." Mienshao said, drawing everyone's attention. "This is quite a meeting. It is a surprise to see you all here. No, rather said 'almost' everyone."
Ursaring looked down on Mienshao, whom he recognized instantly. Although he was not the only one, Lopunny and Decidueye also did the same. The three of them had lost a good friend because of her.
"Don't think we have forgotten you." Ursaring said.
"I never doubted your memory and especially your rancor. I was just commenting on the... coincidence... of seeing you once more."
"Coincidence?" Lopunny said, confused.
"Well, if you didn't know, of course not, a little while ago here was the daughter of that friend of yours."
"Sneasel, was he here?!" He asked, surprised and his two friends, also when listening to her.
"Yes, she was indeed here."
Ursaring looked around, searching for Weavile's daughter. Six years had passed since they last saw her, but he would have no problem recognizing her.
Unable to locate her, he looked at Mienshao. He remembered very well that she said that she was not here and that she could be locked in the castle, so he wasted no time and spoke. "Where exactly is she?"
Buneary looked away with sadness in her face. The others looked at them, but their looks showed that they knew what happened. But they also saw that expression with sadness.
"Well, she tried to avenge her father and she get what she deserved. And when I said what she deserved, she suffered the same fate as her dear father."
The news caused them to be shocked. Hearing that Weavile's daughter had passed away as well, they felt that they had failed their friend again.
While Ursaring looked angry, Lopunny and Decidueye, they had a hard time believing her.
"You're lying!" Decidueye yelled.
"I have been called many things in life and a liar is not one of them. If my answer is not enough, ask them." She said, pointing to the young boys. "Since they witnessed the moment every second."
Lopunny looked at the young boys with concern. "It is true?" He asked, but it was a question he did not want to be answered.
A few seconds later, Snivy looked at them sadly. "Yes."
Upon hearing it, they felt sad. When Weavile had left the world of the living and before that, he had asked his friends if anything happened, that they take care of her. The moment she had escaped, they had no chance of finding and proctecting for her. And now that she was deceased, there was no way to keep the promise.
Those of the rescue team witnessed Ursaring for the first time, totally frustrated. Snivy and Buneary felt bad seeing him like this. Before anyone here, he looked at Mienshao.
"Then you will suffer my fury." With those six words, He already make it clear that Ursaring personally took care of that Ingobernable.
Mienshao was not worried or cared about it. "A normal type facing a fight type? It is not a very smart idea. Do you agree, Lopunny? "
Lopunny, felt insulted. Since she reminded him of the beating he received from her, it was also worth mentioning that they were both the mentioned type.
Before Buneary's father could say anything, Hydreigon interrupted. "Enough talk! I came here for a simple reason, to rescue my son and beat each one of you up!"
As expected, Hydreigon was totally angry that they kidnapped her son and made him go through many things.
"Do you think they scared us with simple threats?" Druddigon asked.
"Well you should." Cubone said. "You know that those who mess with her child, end badly. Especially that you said you were going to kill us and-"
"WHAT THEY WANTED TO KILL MY SON?!" She yelled, surprised and angry.
Everyone in the room was silent and fearful when they saw the reaction of the dragon and dark type when she heard that they had in mind to end the life of their son. Although of course in thinking about killing him, it was not in their head, but it did exist that he ran that risk.
Cubone, could not help but comment on this. "I think I shouldn't have said that. But they are going to be beaten and I am not, so it doesn't matter."
Then speak a Gourgeist entered the talk. "Who do you think you are to threaten us!?" She asked, heading towards Deino's mother, underestimating the situation. Although the most curious thing is that she had Cubone's bone.
She was walking towards her while still yelling at her. The others who knew Hydreigon and dealing with her like that was the worst that could happen. Especially that she was very angry.
And suddenly when she was in front, she was hit and sent flying up. They all watched as they flew and fell to the ground.
"And I thought my mother was scary when she's angry." Maria said, surprised.
Cubone looked around briefly and ran to where Gourgeist drop the bone. He picked it up quickly and with that same speed, he returned with his friends.
The minors Ingobernables stared at Hydreigon, scared. She made a small movement and half got behind Druddigon.
We need new members. Gardevoir thought.
Mienshao looked around and reflected more on the situation. Hydreigon was indeed as strong as she made her first impression. Counting her, she had four Pokémon angry with them and quite strong. They still had the numerical advantage, but she knew that most of those present in this room would not last long and that some of them would not be willing to face a certain dark and dragon type. But it should not be forgotten that she and her two most trusted are the best of all Ingobernables. Besides that they are in their own territory and that they were not cautious at all when they arrived here, so the rest of los Ingobernables would arrive in a matter of time. Whether they beat them all or not, she was sure that no intruder will get out of here. Alive.
"It seems that talk it won't fix anything." Mienshao said.
"No, it will not." Ursaring said, looking at her. Impatiently waiting to hit her pretty face with his furry paw.
"It seems that in that case we have an option. The most obvious of course. "
Everyone knew that the option was to fight. Battles was something that always happens and the best thing to fix any situation. The Pokémon knew it better than anyone. Now to start this battle, it only needed one to do something like attacking or the slightest wrong move and everything will turn into chaos.
"Yes, and I look forward to it."
"Druddigon, what do you think?"
"That I agree with you and him." He stated dragon type.
"It seems that at least we can agree on something. Isn't that right, Gardevoir?"
"Totally." She said.
"Since we got to a point." Mienshao stopped and seconds later she spoke again. "Druddigon."
At that precise moment, Druddigon attacked dragon rage, not at adults, but at young boys. The impact of the attack was very close to them and it caused them to fall to the ground.
Maria suffered from the fall, as her injuries have not yet been properly treated and are recent. She turned to see and saw that Meowth was going to directly attack her. He was going to make it, otherwise Decidueye attacked the spirit sharckle Pokémon his arrow hit.
Maria looked at the adults with a surprised expression. "Boys run here! Decidueye yelled.
She got up and along with the others ran to where Decidueye and Grumpig were, while the rest of the adults went to battle. Upon arriving with the two, Buneary hugged Decidueye.
"Thank you so much Uncle Decidueye!" She said, although they are not really family. "I'm sorry about Sneasel."
"Forget it, for now we have to get them out of here." He said.
"How exactly?" Maria asked.
"Unfortunately we will go out fighting. But your departure for the two of you is different, Maria Gómez."
Hearing Decidueye say the journalist's name, Maria was surprised. Not only her, but also the members of the rescue team.
"How do you know my name and my last name?"
"And what does he mean by the two of you?" Vulpix asked.
At that moment, behind the destroyed door and to the surprise of the young people, Mario entered, carrying the sphere that contained Mew, behind him was Deino. Now it make sense of how they found them, they met them both and he should have reported the whole situation.
Seeing her brother safe, she got great joy and went with him to hug him. "Mario, you're okay!"
He embraced her too, but at the time, he had forgotten he had Mew and accidentally drop him. He gave a little shout, but no one cared.
"Sorry for leaving you there, I should have helped you when I could!" Mario said,
Not only did the two hug each other, Buneary and Snivy, made their way to their dark and dragon-type friend, glad to see him safe and sound.
"Glad to see you!" She said.
"Me too." Snivy said.
"Guys!" He said, as he hugged the two of them.
ying on the ground, trapped and upset, he spoke. "You know I still exist, right?"
"Nobody cares." Vulpix said and Mew felt insulted.
"There's no respect anymore." He said through tears.
After the hug between the brothers ended, Maria looked at her brother. "I see you returned to normal."
"Oh, true. I went back to normal a little bit before meeting them."
"You are not as I imagine." Buneary said.
"What do you mean?" Both brothers asked, as they looked at Buneary.
The Pokémon didn't make much difference in gender. Several species have a difference between the male and the female. But humans are different for each existing individual.
"I thought you would look like Salazar."
"That do I look like to him!?" Mario asked, offended.
"Only in appearance! You are a good person and I would never compare you like that!"
"Well, obviously you need to learn a lot about us." Maria said.
"Hey, I hate interrupting you." Decidueye stepped in, focusing on the main thing. "But we have a situation and a plan."
"You mentioned that a plan for them, what did you mean?" Snivy asked, causing to re-capture the journalist's curiosity.
"We tell them about the situations of both of them." Mew said. "Decidueye will take you to the portal."
The news was quite a surprise to her. It was her goal all that time. She had forgotten that idea when they were captured and now the opportunity had reappeared.
"Seriously?" Maria asked.
"Yes." Decidueye affirm. "I will escort you and your brother to the portal, while you guide me."
"Then when the portal arrives, the two of you will have to destroy it, thus causing the other portal to go haywire and cause very negative effects, but Decideueye will destroy the other sphere at that moment before making worse."
"Wait a minute." Buneary interrupted.
"Did you just forget it?" Mew asked, referencing that he already told them.
"No, I remember. But if they do, that means… we won't see each other again."
When she finished speaking, sadness in her voice. Maria, Mario, Snivy and Deino were saddened. Cubone and Vulpix, they did not seem sad, but they were a little sentimental, although they did not show them.
This place has made them allies to friends. An unbreakable friendship and now they would have to go to separate ways.
Grumpig spoke. "Buneary, understand that-."
"I know!" She said and then looked at the floor sadly. "I know." She admitted that they had to go back to their world. They had a home, a mother who loved them so much and friends. If she were in their place, she also wanted to go back. But she didn't want them to go, she wanted to share a moment of friends. Talk, replay that ouno game, tell jokes and more things. Crossing that portal, it would be the last time.
"Can we see them again?"
The mystical Pokémon seriously considered it. He already heard of humans who returned that world, but those humans were people who helped save their world and did not understand how it worked. There was a way, yes. But if he knew them, no.
"I don't think so." Mew said, but he wish he could answer something else.
Buneary said nothing and looked at the ground again. She was about to cry, but if wasn't for Maria that approached her, knelt down, took Buneary's left paw and held it with both hands, very gently. Causing her to at look her with confused.
"Quiet. I hope that we will see each other again. And if not, I guarantee that our friendship will prevail." Maria said with a smile.
"Seriously?"
"Yes." Snivy stated, before touching her friend's shoulder. "We went through a lot and every second, our friendship grow stronger."
"I also believe it." Mario said. "Thanks to you, I am here with my sister again. I thought I would never see her again, if wasn't for you that rescued me. There is no way I can forget you."
"Give me a hug!" Deino said and launched himself towards Mario with a hug that ended up knocked him to the ground.
"I don't think I'll forget you either." Cubone said. "Especially because of this traumatic experience."
As always, Cubone's honesty was always present, but the truth is that it did not care, since everyone knows that Cubone also had a strong bond with them.
Finally, Vulpix spoke. "I think I'm glad I met you and made friendship with you two."
"And that's saying a lot, since literally her only friend is Buneary." Cubone said.
"Shut up, Cubone."
After hearing this. Buneary started to smile. She's glad to hear that they were all friends, now she believed very much that their friendship was strong, that she always believed in that. Then Buneary hugged Maria. It didn't take her a second to embraced her too.
"I'm going to miss you."
"And we too" Then the hug stopped, but they still looked at each other. "Until we see each other again, keep helping people."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Buneary said determinedly.
"I know you won't."
Snivy intervened. "I am not going to let you down either and this time, I help everyone within my reach. But you must also help the people of your world and you have the right person to cover your back."
Maria knew who was referring to. She watched Mario get up and Deino helped him. She was impressed that Mario had managed to break free and meet the adults without being caught. He was very smart and she saw caming from him. Sure enough, she had someone covering his back.
"I got it."
At that moment, Decidueye interrupted them again. "I hate to interrupt your moment, really. But we have to move."
Hearing that, Maria rose up. "True." The journalist affirm and look at Mew. "What else should we know?"
"Yes. When you are going to destroy it, be sure to destroy it at a distance, because it will make a small explosion."
"It is understood." She said.
Mario went to the rescue team with his backpack. "Have this. In the backpack there are many objects that could be very useful."
When handed over to them, Snivy looked at Mario. "Thanks Mario. We will make every object count."
"You're ready?" Decidueye asked the two humans.
"Yes." They both stated at the same time.
"Well, Maria, guide the way."
Maria stepped forward and Decidueye and her younger brother followed. But before leaving, Buneary spoke to the Gomez brothers. "Guys." They stopped and looked at Buneary, unsure what he was going to say. "Be careful."
"You too." Mario said and the three continued on their way.
After losing their sight. Cubone spoke. "Not that I'm negative, but will they make it?"
"They will make it." Vulpix answered, without a doubt."I know they will."
With that answer, Cubone was left without a doubt. But they were still in a very unfavorable situation.
"What do we gonna do?" Snivy asked Grumpig.
"You will stay here where I can protect you." She said.
"We can't stay, we have to help them!"
"Take it easy. I'm pretty sure they have it under control. Ursaring and Lopunny are strong from what I've seen and the little boy's mother is-"
Then they saw a Pokémon that flew up until it fell to the ground. It was obvious that Hydreigon was responsible.
"She definitely will be fine." Cubone said.
After the explanation, Snivy was still not convinced. "Still, I feel like we should do something."
"Kid, you don't understand-."
"On the contrary. I get it, but whether we want it or not, we'd end up fighting anyway."
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"It's very obvious. No matter how alleged we are, we are still in the middle of a battle. Remember that sooner or later the rest Ingobernables will come here and we will have to fight. And without offending, but I don't think you would last long alone."
Grumpig, could not say more to defend the original plan. His arguments surpassed hers. Snivy, was a guy who thought the next move. When he fought wrestling, he fought with passion and energy, like no other of his kind. But like those of their kind, they are very intelligent. So he waited, look and thought. What they are doing? What is their strategy? Their combat style? How strong? How many? Next move? What they can do? And etc…
Also his friends, knew that Snivy, only discusses with an adult if the latter is wrong and if he has points to discuss and prove. Grumpig noted Snivy's serious gaze and knew he was not talking to be the opposite.
"Also the real battle is about to begin."
While Snivy argued with Grumpig, Ursaring, Lopunny, and Hydreigon, managed to defeat them. The detail is that they were the minor Ingobernables, obviously that the only ones left were those three. Mienshao, Gardevoir and Druddigon.
The three adults stared at the three Ingobernables, who also had their eyes on them.
"And this scene increasingly resembles the previous one, don't you think?" Mienshao said confidently.
"But this time, it won't be the same." Lopunny said.
"We agree on that, but obviously we are not thinking about the same thing. I don't need to be psychic to know that you hope to defeat us and get out of here. What I think would happen the same, but this time, nobody will come out alive."
"You sound very confident." Ursaring said seriously.
"Being inside my castle, two of my most trusted Pokémon by my side and that in the near future, the rest of the reinforcements will arrive. Yes, I am very confident."
"I give you advice. You should not. Not with us. Also, overconfidence makes people careless."
"Very true advice. I recognize it. But who say did I or any of the three of us have overconfidence? " She asked, but there was no answer. "By the way, isn't it the same overconfidence that cost your victory and your friend's life? Because if so, I understand where you got the advice from."
After this, Ursaring could not bear it and was enraged. But before directly attacking Mienshao with all his fury and strength, he looked at Loppuny and Hydreigon. "That's it! Hydreigon, Lopunny! Attack-!"
Before completing what he was about to say, Gardevoir took advantage of the moment when the three of them were off guard and attacked the group of young people who were also distracted by moonblast. Deino noticed and warned them, but it was too late and the attack had reached. No one received the attack directly, but the impact caused them to be throw in different directions.
Seeing that, the three of them worried and the one that worried the most was Deino's mother. "My son!" Then concern turned to fury and he launched herself at Gardevoir. But she used teleport and disappeared. The mother looked around and saw el Ingobernable, near Grumpig. As the psychic-type Pokémon stood up, she saw Gardevoir in surprise and she used hypnosis. The move causes the opponent to fall asleep and that is what happened to Grumpig, who fell asleep.
Hydreigon did not care what she did and went once more towards el Ingobernable, as she was still furious and was also close to him, showing that she is still a threat to his son.
"Hydreigon, wait!" Lopunny yelled, uselessly.
The reason he said to stop was because she was making a mistake attacking like that. And the reasons, he practically had plenty. First and most obvious, was that apart from being a psychic type, she was also a fairy type. Fairy-type Pokémon are very effective against dragon-type Pokémon. Second, she had the teleport move. A very useful move for those who know how to use wisely and she seems that she knew it very well. And Loppuny suspected, that Ursaring shared the same suspicion, of using move to teleport and attack from a safe distance and from behind. If Hydreigon attacked with ranged or close move, she would use the aforementioned move and repeat the same tactic, over and over and over again. But that tactic was not what she planned and that was the third reason that she should not immediately attack Gardevoir. She would use hypnosis.
And that what happened. That same moment that almost hit her.
She fell to the ground, completely asleep. "Madresita!" Deino exclaimed.
"Chanfle!" Loppuny also exclaimed, seeing easily that Gardevoir put Deino's mother to sleep.
But seconds later, he received a tackle from Druddigon and he ended up carrying Lopunny with ease.
"Lopunny!" Ursaring exclaimed, but was later attacked from behind by Mienshao, who used aura sphere.
He exclaimed in pain and she spoke. "Another tip: Always keep your eyes on your opponent, but I think you already knew that."
Angrily, he turned and attacked with hyper beam Mienshao. She evaded it and Ursaring attacked with hammer arm.
Meanwhile, the rescue team recovered from attack. Deino was the first and went to his mother to wake her up, although it was useless. On the other hand, Buneary tried to get up, but realized that a shadow was surrounding her. When she looked up and saw Gardevoir.
Snivy, notice that and he knew what she was going to do. "Buneary!" He said as he got up and intended to run towards the two of them to attack la Ingobernable. "Don't look at her-!"
Suddenly, someone grabbed his body from behind, when he looked behind him, he saw that it was Machamp. He was surprised to see him again and once he remembers it, he had not seen him fighting against the adults.
With a smile, he spoke. "Don't think you escape me so easily." And throw him into a column.
The impact hurt the grass-type back and he was unable to get up to help his friend. But what he could do is watch Buneary be another victim of Gardevoir's move.
When she was about to use it, she was attacked on the head by Cubone's bone. Buneary watched as the bone returned to Cubone and she grabbed her head in pain.
Vulpix spoke. "Don't just stand there as an idiot and move!"
Following this, Buneary listened and went a safe distance away. Gardevoir recovered and looked at Cubone, angry. The truth that he is not surprised that she was angry, he gave her a good blow and anyone would be angry if the same thing happened to anyone. Except for him, he had a very secure skull. But that doesn't means he didn't worry, as he was serious about to be attacked and doubted that his skull would protect him from what follows.
"You little brat!" She said and attacked with moonblast.
Fortunately, Cubone used protection and escaped attack. Vulpix seized the moment and uses ice beam. Gardevoir, realized and used protection at the right time. She saw the ice type position and teleported behind her. Vulpix used the only movement she had and Gardevoir used protection. Vulpix, with no choice, backed away. But la Ingobernable grabbed her tail before she could do the aforementioned action.
"Why they always grab my tail!?" She yelled angrily.
She try to use hypnosis, but Vulpix avoided seeing her eyes. So she opted for another strategy and she was going to use moonblast, only if it wasn't for Buneary who used swift and hit the target. She released Vulpix and the ice-type Pokémon, used ice beam to freeze that Pokémon's leg, and retreated a safe distance away.
While they were facing the Gardevoir, Cubone was about to unite the two of them, unless if he didn't noticed that Machamp just grabbed Snivy and in any second, he will be hurt.
Cubone knew he needed help, but they did too. He can't help anyone. So he look at Deino, still trying to wake his mother up. "Deino, help Snivy!" He said and went to join the girls.
Deino, noticing that Snivy was in trouble and ran to save his friend. Machamp was holding Snivy tightly with his two lower arms and was going to hit him with his upper two hands. Snivy tried to stay calm, but he didn't avoid feeling frustrated that he can't do anything. Not even bite him.
Deino suddenly hit Machamp with headbutt in the back. The blow that lost some strength from his hands and the rescue team leader was released and with his tail, he grabbed Machamp's neck and smashed his head into the column and then did a Frankesnteiner.
Machamp got up and was very far from fainting out. Now the rescue team was divided. Snivy and Deino face Machamp. While Buneary, Vulpix and Cubone were dealing with Gardevoir. Two battles, but very difficult for our heroes.
Meanwhile, Maria, Mario and Decidueye were still on their way to the portal. The journalist guided them both very well and the proof was that they were on the mere floor. It was just a matter of locating it. It was difficult to find the right path, since it was worth mentioning that when she was on this floor, she was running away and when she left the floor, she went out a window and could not memorize the hallways.
But she was not doubting. She used her reasoning to locate herself inside the floor and to guide herself. Right now, she saw two ways and was deciding which way to go. It didn't matter if there was a path with Ingobernables, since Decidueye had said he would take care of them.
At that moment, the guild boss spoke to the girl. "Are you sure is this way?"
"I'm seeing." She replied. "The portal was in a big room, so I think it must be somewhere in the center of the floor."
"If not?"
"Well, we'll have to search the entire floor." She said. "To the left."
Decidueye, was the first to pass and Mario followed. But then, he saw his sister, behind. He addressed her with concern. "Sister, what's up?"
"I feel tired and my head hurts."
The cause of that, was the recent injuries and her constant efforts. She did not receive adequate treatments to heal her wounds and the loss of her blood. Basically it was a miracle that she hasn't fallen unconscious yet.
"Maria, I will have a hard time telling you this, but we are almost out. Hold on a little longer."
"I know, we both made a promise."
She tried to move but the pain in her back ached. Then het younger brother grabbed his sister's hand and put her arm around his shoulders, to serve as a support. Maria didn't say anything and the two went as soon as possible with Decidueye.
"Come on, quickly!" He yelled. At the same moment, he notices that Mario was helping his sister to walk. "What happen?"
When he was going to answer him, Decidueye was tackled by Grapploct. Mario was surprised to return again and with a good blow, he ended up throwing against the wall and fell to the ground.
"Chanfle!" He exclaimed.
The last time he saw him was when he had been locked up in a room before going to rescue his sister and the others. Obviously he manage to get out of the room. It was unlucky to be in this situation.
"There you are!" He said, as he headed towards the two of them.
"Wait! We can negotiate."
"The same excuse? Too bad it doesn't work for me."
With each step el Ingobernable took, both backed away. They couldn't do something to defend themselves or use an object, as the moment they try something, they'll end up hit in seconds.
Just before hitting them both, Grapploct was hit and fell to the ground. Everything was confusing until in front of the two, another Pokémon fell on her feet. And to their surprise, it was Sneasel.
"Sneasel!?" Maria exclaimed, very surprised.
"You didn't count with my cleverness!" Sneasel said, after her triumphal entry.
Grapploct rose from the ground, angry. "You pay for that!" He yelled and attacked with brick break.
Sneasel, jumped on top of el Ingobernable and use cut. She took advantage of the moment and put her feet on the bad guy, jumped on him with impulse that threw him to the ground. Then she use ice beam to freeze his body.
She quickly looked at the Pokémon, which seemed well trapped, and then turned her gaze to the two humans. "Are you both okay?"
"We are fine. Well, my sister not so much…" Mario replied, while looking at his sister.
"I see. You need to heal yourself."
"We will call the paramedics when we get out." Maria replied, although Sneasel did not know what paramedics mean, but believed that they would be people who could help her. But later she changed the subject. "But what happened to you? We believed you were dead."
"Yes, although I personally don't understand how I survived. But what are you doing here? Weren't you trapped?"
"We had help." Mario said.
"What kind of help?"
Before he could answer the question, Grapploct managed to break free of the ice.
He is a water type. He must have been affected by the ice-type attack. Sneasel thought, not knowing that it was Grapploct is just a fight type.
"Watch out!" Maria said.
First of all, Grapploct received an attack, but the attack was not from Sneasel, but from Decidueye. He had recovered just in time, since the blow was not much and when crashing it had knocked him unconscious for a short time.
"Decidueye!" Mario said. "Thanks for the help!"
"You're welcome." He replied, still stunned. "Wow, that guy threw me very hard. It reminds me of an occasion that-"
At that very moment, Decidueye notices the daughter of Weavile who was standing in front of him and who was surprised to see her at the instant that Grapploct, fainted out.
Decidueye, was surprise. Too much to see Sneasel, standing. "Is that you or the ghost of you?"
Between surprise and confusion, Sneasel looked at the brothers. "Did he hit him too hard?" She asked, by the way of acting of the boss of the guild.
Insulted by the comment, he addressed the two brothers, specifically towards Mario. "She was not dead?"
"I thought so." He said, surprised. "She threw her out of a window and-."
"And if you had been there, you would also be very convinced like us." Maria said.
"I think you're right." Decidueye said and looked at Sneasel. "What a joy to see you again!"
"For the past six years, to tell you that I am also glad to see you, I would be crazy if I said so. But with the recent success and that I am going to say it is true and sincere. I'm also glad to see you." She explained, with a smile. "But what are you doing here?"
"We came to rescue the Buneary rescue team."
"'we come'?" She asked, confused.
"Buneary's father, Ursaring, the mother of Hydreigon and Grumpig, also came here for the same purpose."
Hearing the mention of Lopunny and Ursaring, it also left Sneasel even more surprised. "They too?"
"Yes." Maria stated.
Sneasel, did not know what to say. The three of them had been companions and good friends of their father. For so long, she had blamed them for what had happened. But now, she didn't think like that anymore. What's more, she felt guilty for holding them in contempt for so long.
"Girl listen." Decidueye said. "I am sorry for having failed your father and for not having been by your side when you needed him. If so, you wouldn't be in this-."
"No, you don't have it. You did their best and I really appreciate it. But the fault is mine. I put you aside, I released my anger against you, because you did not deserve it. I literally asked for this."
"Sneasel." Maria spoke. "People learn many things. But unfortunately we learn it the hard way. So don't feel like you're the first one to do it."
"I know and I also know that I cannot change my mistakes. But what I can do is make things right."
"What do you mean?" Mario asked.
"When I woke up, I decided to return to the room to help you escape. But of course, the high chance that the same thing will happen again. So I was looking for an escape orb and use it to escape without a problem."
Maria, look curiously at Sneasel. It caught her attention that to help them get out of here, using the original plan and acquire the mentioned object. But the plan is still good, although it has the same problem. Where is it?
"If you're looking for the orb, why are you here, aren't they in the lab?"
"No, I already looked for every part of the laboratory and they were not there. But I found a note saying they moved it somewhere on this floor, in a room around here."
"How long have you been here?"
"I just got here and heard the two of you and came over here." She said. "And the rest?"
"They are in the same room. The adults are facing los Ingobernables. While Decidueye escorts us to the portal." Maria explained.
"Why are they there? They should leave immediately. It is dangerous to stay here any second."
"Well, there is a problem. The portal that we passed, is damaged and is the cause of storms and we must destroy both spheres at the same time. Mew can tell you the details."
"Okay and I understand, but what is the escape plan for the rest like?"
"Through punches. But I don't think it will work."
"Well, that make us two." Decidueye said. "But we don't see any other option."
"But there's one." Sneasel said as she started to leave.
Decidueye, could not help worrying about Sneasel. "Where are you going!?"
"I'm going after the escape orb. It is the only safe option."
"Sneasel, it's dangerous!" Mario said.
After what happened to her, previously, Maria and Mario, did not want it to happen again. Since she may not be as lucky as the previous one. They couldn't help her, but now this is different and they weren't going to drop this opportunity.
She stopped and looked at the three of them. "I know it's dangerous. It's a risk that I am willing to take."
"Then I'm going with you." Decidueye said.
"No, I take care of this." Sneasel said, determined.
"I'm not asking for your opinion."
"And I didn't ask for your help either. Do you forget that you need to escort the two brothers? "
Mario, enter the chat between the two Pokémon and look for another alternative, to satisfy the two Pokémon. "Hey, take it easy. We have enough items. We can use them to remove any problems that come our way."
The idea was not so good, but Decidueye considered it as acceptable to trust the two brothers to go on their own. Sneasel, didn't like that idea.
"No offense, Mario, but I don't trust that going alone is the best thing. I know that you know how to take care of yourself and I have seen it. But your sister is hurt and that is a great weight. You are smart, but it takes more than intelligence to get out here. Decidueye will guaranteed your exit."
Decidueye approached Sneasel. "Look, Sneasel. I couldn't help your father and I don't planing the daughter of my good friend go through the same."
"I don't plan to die." Sneasel said. "No more. I appreciate that you want to protect me, seriously. But for six years, I've done multiple robberies and crimes, just to accomplish my revenge." Then she turned her attention to the brothers. "And fault of my selfishness put you two and the rest in danger. As I said, I came to do things right. I have to, this is my chance to redeem myself for all the wrong I have done. Please let me go."
The thief's words had a lot of weight and sincerity. Something that both of them are very surprised to hear. She had changed and Maria knew it. Deep inside her heart. But on the other hand, she didn't want him to risk it. She wanted to help her, but she would be a weight for her. Then she let her heart make her decision.
"Decidueye, let her go." She said and Decidueye looked at her in surprise.
"You too!? Did you forget how dangerous it is for her to go alone!?" He asked, concerned.
"I have not forgotten. But she is my friend. I trust her." Maria said seriously.
Decidueye, was left speechless and could not think of an answer.
"I also trust my friend." Mario said, supporting his sister.
Sneasel, was shocked. The two brothers considered her as one more friend. Something she was glad to know.
Decidueye, between doubt and fear. He was unsure what to do. He had made a promise, along with the others to Weavile. He had believed he failed the promise, and now that there was another chance to keep it, the words of the young boys gave him a reason to trust their judgments. That same confidence that they had between the four of them.
He knew he was going to regret this. "A'll right. I trust you to do it on your own."
With that, it was what she wanted to hear. "Thank you Decidueye." She look at the brothers. "Thank you. amigos. Good luck."
"I said the same thing." Mario said.
With that, they went where they should go. For the brothers and Sneasel, that meant goodbye.
The three of them passed through the hallways and came to the door of a room. As a precaution, the guild boss briefly looked at what was inside the room if there are enemies. After examining him, Decidueye told them that it was safe to enter the room.
Fortunately, it was the room they were looking for. The portal was here and there was no danger. Since the two Ingobernables who guarded the door, were lying on the ground.
"What happened to them?" Mario asked and Decidueye went to examine one of them.
"This one is asleep. And I guess the other one too."
"The million dollar question is, why are they like this?" Maria said.
"Maybe Sneasel, already took care of the two of them." Mario said.
"It is most likely." Maria said. "You must pass right now."
"Yes." Mario stated and looked at Decidueye. "Thanks for the help."
"You are welcome. Now go and take care of the sphere on the other side, so that I can destroy it and meet with the rest."
"We will do it." With that, the two passed to the portal.
On reaching the other side, they were in the tunnel below the abandoned house. Besides, it means that they returned to their world. But now they had to deal with the sphere.
"How do we destroy it?" Mario asked.
"Well, I suppose it will be easy to destroy it. But Mew had said it would explode if we destroyed it and the explosion would caused the tunnel to collapse and we are going to be buried alive. Unless if the explosion doesn't kill us first."
The two thought of an idea that is sure to destroy it. Mario thought they should take the sphere and destroy it above and at a safe distance. But it seemed like taking it was not a good idea.
"I know. We are going to destroy it with dynamite." Mario said as he took the item out of the backpack.
With the mention of dynamite, Maria couldn't help but look at Mario, in confusion and surprise. "Dynamite!? Where did you find dynamite!?"
"In the lab, I was where the other human objects are, when I was with Deino." He responded moments before, to take the object. "Here it is."
The dynamite was different than the others, since this one had a detonator with a stopwatch. It was perfect to set a time for it to explode.
"I can't imagine what kind of things they would use with dynamite." Maria said, but concentrated on the main problem. "With 10 minutes is more than enough to go to a safe distance."
Mario agreed. Maria did that action and the detonator was on. They left the dynamite and the two of them hurried out of here. They went up using the rock and out of the tunnel.
Upon leaving they ran into a problem. To Rojas.
