Chapter 407

Dead-Nothing-Bad Luck Part 2

The night before, the Swords plotted a variety of itineraries for dawn.

Prince had planned to journey to Seraphnite Tower with Mandy. Prince sought the tower to help in the resurrection of Atlantis. Mandy, however, didn't seem thrilled to be venturing to Seraphnite Tower. Why? That still remained a mystery.

Sasha was ready to be chaperoned to Zion with Wade Barrett as her guide. All for an aerial rescue mission for their friends that Sithis had captured and brainwashed.

Ash was supposed to search for the Firefly Funhouse to save Brock and Misty from The Fiend with Roman as his companion in that quest.

Larrell was to use his ability to communicate with the Spiritomb and learn more about Atlantis with Seth.

The rest were on standby to protect the school and the children, which had become a base of sorts for the swords. Whatever chain-of-events surfaced would be handled by whoever was at the school at the time.

President Joe Biden's presence in the auditorium was a monkey wrench in all of their plans.

How did he get on the island? The Spiritomb had wiped out anyone else who'd tried to access the island. So why did it allow him entry? That was something the Swords would need to know to filter out who could potentially be a future visitor or invader.

The doors to the auditorium had opened and the very first person to enter was The Boss, Sasha Banks. She stopped, stared for a moment at the unfamiliar face, caught her breath once she recognized Joe Biden, shook her head with disbelief and exhaled.

(A trap by Wyatt?) She wondered, unclipping one of her pokeballs just to be sure. "Alakazam," summoning the mystic fox-like pokemon.

"I'm sorry to alarm you, miss," Biden carefully raised his hands, "I'm here to-"

"Right now," Sasha cut him off, "I don't care." Placing a hand on her hip and turning to her Alakazam.

The dual-wielding fox stared down Joe Biden and awaited orders.

"Use your psychic waves," Sasha ordered, "Check the entire room. Any traps? And I need to know if that man," pointing to Biden, "is a human."

The fox's eyes began to glow lavender and the air suddenly became thicker. For Biden, it felt like having his nose stuffed-up. It was difficult to breathe for a moment.

Then, the fox turned to Sasha, "Alakazam," it nodded. Imparting a seal of approval.

"Thanks," Sasha held out the pokeball, "Return," recalling the psionic fox.

After clipping the ball onto her belt, Sasha's demeanor shifted from strong-and-hard to a bit more welcoming, "Mr. President," She slowly descended the stairs, "I'm not sure why you're here but this isn't the best place to be right now?"

"Is this the city lost city of Atlantis?" Biden said as he can see the amazing architecture of Atlantis.

The president couldn't believe his eyes. It wasn't a legend. Atlantis existed.

Footsteps heralded the entrance of the others. One-by-one, they all trickled in for a final meeting before carrying out their plans. Each person paused for a moment at the sight of the president of the United States in the center of the auditorium face-to-face with Sasha.

The President exhaled a sigh of relief. Despite dealing with a paranormal force, experiencing teleportation, having telekinetic powers used on him, he had finally come into contact with them.

Sitting in what appeared to be a foyer were the swords, the ones who was believed by some to be dead or disappeared.

"You didn't invite me here," Biden began, "yet here I am to talk with you. The world needs you all right now."

Ash nervously glanced around the room. There were so many questions he wanted to ask. So many answers he wanted. But politics weren't his forte. In the moment, he decided to stay in his lane and let the others address the president.

Gradually, everyone's eyes travelled around the foyer. Their attention gravitating to the men and women whose voices held the most weight in the room. The Swords. Their glances ping-ponged off the round walls of the foyer and Larrell. The political aficionado of the group

"You didn't invite me here," Biden began, "yet here I am to talk with you. The world needs you all right now."

"This should be interesting" Carlito said his eyes on Larrell

"Just don't hit him, please" AJ said

Everyone laughed remembering Carlito lashing out and punching Trump in the face.

Carlito stood to his feet and met the President's path

"I take it you are Carlito the one who knocked Trump on his pompous ass." Biden shook hands with Carlito.

"Someone had to do it." Carlito smirked.

"I have soo many questions for you" Biden said.

"Ditto." Carlito said.

Then let's lay them out on the table then, just curious how did you and AJ end up together? I'm not that fond of wrestling but my son watches it.

"We shared an interest in art and just kind of hit it off." Carlito said

"So it just happened?" Biden asked

"In a way." Carlito shrugged.

"My question for you is, how do you plan on dealing with the Trump and the Galeos?" Carlito asked

"Galeos?" Biden said confused

"It's a aircraft from a video game called The bouncer that the villain named Duragon used to go to space to do his evil plan. Yes I'm breaking the fourth wall."

"Galeos?" Sasha scratched her chin. "That's news to us or at least me. As far as I know," distrustful glancing at Prince, "we haven't seen or heard from Trump since that time Carlito smacked him."

"I guess he slapped some sense into him." AJ giggled. "Wait maybe not."

Seth thought for a moment, "Aside from him losing the election, he's been off our radar. We've been dealing with so many other things that Trump has been the last thing on my mind."

"For real." Prince nodded in agreement. He anxiously glanced at the rays of sunlight and then at Mandy.

Now that Atlantis has surfaced everyone is gonna want their hands in on who discovered it first. AJ said looking at Carlito and Biden talk.

Prince either hadn't had his coffee yet, or was completely disinterested in their guest. He shook his head, began to peel a banana he'd snagged from the kitchen and ignored the ensuing conversation. Prince's pragmatic mind was zeroed-in on his and Mandy's "date" to Seraphnite Tower. With the focus of a sniper, he mentally resurveyed every known road to their destination. How would talking to Biden benefit them?

Then, his conversation with his brother yesterday replayed in his mind. His soldier's mind could at times be too driven and not harmonious with others.

(Maybe I should see what Biden has to say.) He thought as he mentally audibled his schedule.

Prince exhaled, "Besides that," referring to AJ's previous statement, "what brings you here?"

Pokerfaced, Biden examined everyone's face in the room and said, "An opportunity to learn more about Atlantis and make the right call. When it's anything connected to Pokémon, the world looks to HLG Tech. They're all over your social-media and searching for answers. As of now, you're the only known people who've been to Atlantis. So you're the best ones to seek answers from. It's either that or Disney fairytales."

Sasha folded her arms across her chest, "Well, I've got a few questions about what direction you're trying to take our country in."

Biden, pokerfaced, blinked at Sasha, "Yes?"

"When we spoke to Trump, he was an airhead," Sasha exhaled, "We asked him what his policy regarding pokemon would be and he couldn't give us a good answer. What's your stance?"

"Yeah," Seth chimed in. "Are you one of those people blaming COVID on the pokemon?"

Biden, pokerfaced, said, "I don't blame the pokemon. I think, at this point, we're beyond blaming anyone. Regardless of what started the coronavirus, it's our problem and we've gotta address it as best we can. And reports have shown that some pokemon have helped treat the virus in both pokemon and some humans as well. I believe the pokemon was from the Chansey/Blissey family of pokemon. I think having the pokemon around does more good than harm."

Everyone in the room seemed elated by the president's answer. It was a farcry from the rhetoric that Trump offered years ago.

"Now that I've answered on of your questions, I'd like to ask one." Biden proposed. After receiving polite nods, Biden resumed, "The pokemon," he began, "are there any pokemon here in Atlantis that could help our country, our world, and our people in the fight against COVID-19?"

Prince cocked his head. He seemed both disturbed and curious.

Why would Biden want to know about the pokemon of Atlantis?

Was he trying to learn about what defenses the island had?

NATO had tried the military way of taking Atlantis already and because of Spiritomb they'd been unsuccessful. Were the generals and admirals having a difficult time believing that pokemon had wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers, marines and Special Forces without lifting a finger?

Or worse, were they trying to pin those assaults/murders on the Swords?

Politics was never Prince's cup-of-tea. How should he answer or respond? He opened his lips to speak—

"We," Sasha spoke; it was as-if she could read Prince's distrust and apprehensiveness, "Haven't seen any new or strange species of pokemon. I think all we've seen is the same thing that you probably have by now. Spiritomb, right?"

Biden flatly answered, "Yes. The power of the pokemon is both astounding and terrifying. It took out an entire warship while it was at battle stations."

"Umm," Ash suddenly began to find his voice, "I don't mean to jump in but…there's something I wanna say," scratching his head. "Pokemon aren't evil. They're our friends, our companions. We can work together with them to make the world better. I hope you coming here to meet with us is part of that. I know things are a bit confusing right now but it's not the fault of the pokemon. Just like us, some pokemon are getting sick and dying because of the coronavirus. I'm sure some are immune to it but some pokemon are mammals like us. I don't think they're the cause of the problem but they can definitely be apart of helping us find the solution."

"Sounds like a sensible statement but, what about the bans on pokemon immigration and pokemon laws? Carlito asked.

It was a good question.

"Those laws and policies that the Trump administration, that idiot, made are being phased out." Biden answered. "Pokémon, to me, were shown in a negative light when they were a positive. Similar to Marijuana, there are ways to embrace and implement Pokémon into everyday life that my administration is working on."

"So just curious do you use marijuana?" AJ giggled.

"Being president is a stressful job." Biden said.

"Whoa wait , if you really do then let's all light one and have a session" AJ laughed

Everyone looked at AJ but couldn't help but find it amusing that AJ merely was saying the first things that ran through her mind.

"Pay her no mind she can be goofy sometimes."

Biden smiled, "It's alright." He motioned. "I've been asked that question more times than most people realize. I think in order to train, have or own a Pokémon, you should have to obtain a license. Just like owning a car or a gun, for example. A reasonable age is what we're currently working out."

"Agreed. There should be a age requirement to avoid accidents and make sure the pokemon are well for like a pet." Carlito nodded

Sasha uncrossed her arms as Wade Barrett nervously entered the auditorium. At that moment, Sasha entered a similar headspace as her off-and-on lover, Prince. The rescue mission was on her mind but it'd be unwise to exit a conversation with what could potentially be an ally for The Swords.

"You and Barack have a bit in common. I just wish the meteors fell when Barack's terms were beginning."

Biden smiled, "Me too." He agreed. "Pokémon definitely wouldn't be the mess that Trump made it into. We'd have communicated with the Japanese more and probably tested some of their policies."

"What happens for the LGBQT?" Sonya DeVille asked looking at Mandy who appeared interested with Prince.

"Ya know," Biden paused for a second, "The fact that we still have to ask that question in these times is sad. Who do you love? And will you be loyal to the person you love? And that's what people are finding out is what all marriages, at their root, are about." Pokerfaced, glancing at Sonya. "I'm all for pushing for more rights for members of the LGBTQ community. Right now, the big focus is handling COVID-19 which will protect the LGBTQ community and everyone else in the process."

Prince exhaled, "Ya know, I've got one bone to pick with you, Mr. President. Where in your mind did you think it was your place to tell some black people that they weren't black?"

Biden seemed lost. "Excuse me. I'm not sure I follow."

"You said that the black people that didn't vote for you aren't black." Prince reminded.

Biden, pokerfaced, breathed, "It was a joke. I can see how it was taken the wrong way though."

"It definitely was," Prince strode forward. "Atlantis can be a lot of things depending how this all goes down but we know the world isn't just going to let this island be. Already people are planning on ways to exploit this land for whatever reason. I wanna know, what do you wanna do?"

Biden exhaled, "As long as Atlantis isn't a threat to our national security, then it's fine but we can't just let it be. Al Quaeda, ISIS, and so many other groups are already planning to use this place as a base that could put them right in between our country and Europe. A great haven to coordinate attacks."

"That is," Prince added, "If they can even get on the island. We've seen the bodies of the Spec Ops teams that NATO has been sending. The Spiritomb protect the island."

"Yes, they do." Biden responded, "It even tested me before it allowed me here to meet with you all."

"Tested you?" Mandy gawked. "How?"

Biden curiously studied the room. Everyone seemed surprised and shocked. "You all weren't tested by the Spiritomb?"

"I don't think so. I don't remember to be honest. We woke up and just had to survive." AJ answered.

"In other words we kinda are stuck here due to the Spritomb. It wants something from us or we already be gone from here. "Carlito said

"No clue about any tests we just was let in and the place resurfaced" AJ said

"Well," Biden sighed, "It was great to meet and talk with you guys. I have a lot of things to take back to Washington. In whatever way," glancing around the room, "I'm able to get back there."

Sasha stared at her off-and-on lover, Prince, gesturing for him to assist Biden.

Prince shook his head. He had other things to do than be a taxi for anyone.

Sasha glared at him.

Prince glared back.

Seth chuckled at the silent argument between the estranged lovers.

"Prince," Sasha invited, "has a flying pokemon."

"So does Sasha." Prince shot back.

"And he has more than enough free time to fly you back to Washington." Sasha smiled.

Prince looked like he wanted to throw a dagger or grenade at Sasha.

"Great." Biden smiled, "Before I go, there's just one more thing.

"We're alot different in person than the media makes out to be right." Carlito tried guessing what Biden was about to say.

"I see that now." Biden crossed the room, standing beside his chaperone. He smiled, then, twisted his body, kneeing Prince in the groin.

"Huh?" Everyone gawked.

Biden unclipped a cluster of pokeballs from his belt, "Hail Sithis!"

In a flash of silver light, panic shook the foyer.

"Oh shit, son!" Ezell screamed running out of the auditorium.

"He's never any help unless there's crack involved." AJ shook her head

"Goddamn it was a trap" Roman said

"What the fuck!" Carlito said reach for his belt but remembered his whole team in the present had been killed and he only had a Chansey egg that Lana gave him.

Through the light, a variety of pokemon appeared.

The round bomb-ball, Electrode.

A Mudsdale, a donkey, a symbol of the Democratic Party

And a Hypno.

Biden hurried behind his Hypno, placed a hand on it's shoulder and said, "Return to Sithis, Swords, or die." He then turned to the Mudsdale and Electrode, "Proceed as planned."

The Hypno swung it's pendulum and in a kaleidoscopic flash, Biden and the psychic pokemon vanished.

"They teleported." Roman grunted. His attention shifted to the two remaining pokemon. "What about these two?"

Suddenly, the Electrode began to glow.

"Oh shit! It's gonna explode!" Seth gawked.

"The children?!" Sasha shrieked. There was no time to evacuate all the children or a single person out of the school before the Electrode self-destructed.

Thinking quickly, Sasha plucked a pokeball and summoned her Gengar, "Use Hypnosis, put it to sleep!"

The violet ghost appeared and with a thrust of it's arms, it cast it's spell on the Electrode and Mudsdale who quickly drifted to sleep.

"Fuck!" Prince groaned in pain, holding his groin, "That bastard, urrggh," slowly getting to his feet, "We've gotta move that Electrode without waking it up and fast."

How do you suppose we do that" AJ asked

"We freeze it." Carlito said

"Huh" everyone else said confused

Electrode is a bomb which we don't know how to defuse so if we freeze it doesn't wake up and it doesn't go off." Carlito said

"Metal Gear Solid 2" AJ knew what Carlito got the idea from.

The Electrode shook, their voices were disturbing it's sleep.

"Shhhhh," AJ held a finger to her lips.

Everyone in the foyer went silent, too anxious to even move. One misstep or sound could wake the Electrode.

The Mudsdale, as far as they knew, wasn't a threat. Still, it had to have been left there for a reason. Biden said, proceed as planned. Which could possibly mean he'd planned for them to somehow stop the Electrode from exploding. Why else would he leave the Mudsdale there as well?

A Mudsdale, a donkey, a symbol of the Democratic Party?

What could all this mean? That Sithis' control had expanded alot faster than anyone before that moment realized. That he'd already taken over South America and more than likely United States.

Which could also possibly mean that Trump losing the election may at some point be proven to be because of Sithis' mind control at the time.

Canada? Well, that was still unknown but he'd have to be well on his way of taking control of the entire continent.

"Wait!" AJ whispered, "What if we're doing exactly what they want by defusing Electrode?"

"We got to do something." Sasha stated

AJ whipped out her Pokedex and studied Mudsdale, "Mudslale is there to make sure the electrode goes off regardless. It can create water resistant or in this case ice mud and can one shot kill any pokemon."

"So we're fucked either way." Carlito hissed.

Sasha shook her head, "I'll take care of it." She quietly summoned her Alakazam, "I'll teleport them away."

"Not by yourself," Prince hissed, "What if it's an ambush?"

"It's either me possibly getting jumped or these kids dying." Sasha defended, she carefully leaned against her psychic pokemon and placed one hand on the Electrode, and her other hand on the Mudsdale. "If it's a trap," she turned to Wade Barrett, "proceed as planned."

Barrett gawked, but in that instant, they were gone.

"Where they go.?" Carlito gawked.

"Hmmm... Proceed as planned?" The gears in AJ's head turning.

"So that's it." AJ said a lightbulb going off in her head.

"I don't get it, what is it?" Carlito asked.

"She's going to feign into giving up Barrett and when the time is right she releases the hold on Electrode and take out hopefully a big chunk of Sithis's followers and hopefully Sithis. AJ calculated.

"Why is she so stubborn?!" Prince hissed.

"So save a few, kill alot?" Seth surmised.

"As harsh as it is, yep save the kids and ourselves. The way Sasha looks at it is that those under Sithis's spell are already expendable." AJ said.

"Any other options?" Roman asked.

"Not any that involves us staying alive." Carlito said

A massive explosion could be heard outside.

The foyer shook and began to crumble.

"Let's get out here." Prince said hopping on Melbu and many passengers Melbu could hold.

Everyone else used whatever means to escape whether it be a pokemon or simply by running like hell.

Once outside the structure the group could see a crater where the followers of Sithis should be and Biden staring in the sky with Mudsdale as the Galeos descended.
