Chapter 11: Houndour vs Octillery
Backtrack before the prank occurred
Blaze chomped on a mouthful of popcorn while staring intensely at the Television. Sheila was sitting on the left side of the couch beside him, with her own bowl of popcorn while Geoff was hiding behind the couch, shakily peaking at the screen.
"Are you okay dear?" Sheila asked as she cranked her head to the right a bit so she can see her husband's eyes.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be fine?" Geoff asked, still frightened. The sudden gunfire coming from the television caused him to duck behind the couch.
"Relax sweetie, Gremlins 2 isn't that scary," Sheila said comfortingly.
"J-Just wait till they start eating the humans!" Geoff shouted as he ran into the bathroom.
Sheila sighed as she turned to Blaze. "Sorry about that. Ever since he saw 'Critters' he's been so scared of small creatures since they eat humans."
"Then why did he watched it?" Blaze asked.
"He thought it would be just like the Gremlin's, but when he saw the blood, he spends the rest of the film in the bathroom," She explained.
Blaze giggled from her story but stopped when a sudden familiar scent picked up his nose. He stood on the couch frame facing to the right. 'There's no mistaking it. I can sense the Heartless energy not far from here.'
"Blaze?" Sheila called out, noticing the Pokemon's strange action. Blaze sniffed a few more times before jumping off of the couch. "What's wrong?"
Blaze didn't answer as he darted out of the apartment leaving a hole in the door. Sheila quickly grabbed her coat and put on her shoe. She was about to walk out of the house but noticed Geoff coming out of the bathroom.
"Where are you going?" Geoff asked looking confused.
"We're following Blaze," Sheila responded quickly, and she walked out.
"H-Hey wait for me!" Geoff called out as he grabbed his jacket and shoes and ran after his wife, but not without falling down the stairs after he tripped on the first step.
Blaze was already a few blocks ahead of Sheila and Geoff who just got out of the building. He felt bad for not telling them what was going on but wanted to locate and stop the heartless before it can take innocent people's lives.
He stopped at the corner beside Giant Tiger and started sniffing the air again to find out where the heartless energy. He didn't notice a CTV newswoman along with the cameraman beside the store, staring at him in shock by his appearance.
"It's definitely coming from Ericha's school," Blaze said when he sensed the energy. The two new reporters watch him zipped past them leaving a puff of smoke. Before the two could say anything, Sheila along with Geoff who was breathing heavily from keeping up with her wife.
"Um excuse me, have you seen a small, black animated puppy passing through here?" Sheila asked for a few deep breaths. The cameraman pointed behind him, without changing his shocked expression.
"Thank you," Sheila ran past the two, with Geoff exhausted lingering behind, trying to keep up with his wife.
It took a second for the newswoman to get back to reality as she turned to the cameraman. "Let's follow them. I think we've just found our big scoop!"
Blaze maneuver through the pile of police cars, covering the road, that that led to the school. He was able to evade countless police officers who had their eye on the giant red monster that just emerged out of the school roof.
"The energy is getting stronger," Blaze mumbled to himself. Once he was close to the entrance to the playground, he heard a familiar scream coming from above. The Houndour looked up to find Tristan dangling upside down high in the air by one of the tentacles, but it didn't last long as the tentacle was forced to let go of him causing him to fall.
"Hold on Tristan!" Blaze made a running start and jumped on the trunk of the police car. Before he could even move, the trunk flipped open, firing Blaze over the crowd of police officers who were busy staring at the monster to noticed him flying over their heads.
In a few seconds, Blaze was able to get under Tristan before the boy could make past the roof where Jesselyne was on, in slow motion, you can see Tristan landing on the Houndour's back sending the two crashing down to earth.
The loud sound caused everyone to avert their eyes away from the monster and focused on the huge dust cloud. At the same time Ericha, Shermar, Curtis, Anya, and Ashely ran at the front of the crowd. Seeing that she was too late, Ericha mindlessly dropped to her hands and knees, Her hair covering her tearful eyes.
"I'm so sorry Tristan," Ericha sobbed quietly. Curtis, Shermar, Ashely, and Anya stared at the cloud of dust which was slowly clearing up to reveal, Tristen was sitting on top of Blaze who sprawled on his stomach with his eyes replaced with swirls.
Everyone besides Shermar and Jesselyne jaws hangs open speechless by seeing another animated looking creature. Curtis was able to shake out of it and turned to Ericha who haven't noticed. "Ericha…"
"It's all my fault this is happening," Ericha continued without looking. "I shoulda told the police about the prank before it could get out of ha-"
"ERICHA!" Tristan yelled.
"WHAT?!" Ericha yelled angrily as she looked, but froze when she realized who the voice was. She looked up to find Tristan on top of an unconscious Blaze
"S-Safe," Blaze weakly said with a grin on his face.
"Tristan!" Ericha immediately ran towards Tristan and gave him a big hug, lifting him off his feet.
"Ericha... you're crushing me…" Tristan whined Ericha let go giving her brother time to breathe.
"Tristan! Ericha!" Sheila emerged out of the crowd and wasted no time embracing her two kids. "I'm so glad that you two are alright…!" She quickly let go of them with a concerned look. "Where's Jesselyne?"
"Up here!" Jesselyne answered, getting a gasp from her mom. Before Sheila could speak, a small explosion caused Jesselyne to lose her balance and fall off the roof. Luckily, Geoff came exhaustedly staggering out of the crowd stopping right under Jesselyne, landing on top of him.
Looking alarmed, Sheila ran towards her daughter's aid. "Are you okay, sweetie?"
"Y-Yeah I'm fine," Jesselyne answered as she stood up. "Something wet and squishy broke my fall."
"Pain…" Geoff groaned from under Jesselyne. She quickly got off as Sheila and Ericha each grabbed his arm and lifted him up.
Sheila was about to ask Ericha what was going on but was cut off by a slow sarcastic clapping coming from Mizella who was slowly coming towards the group with a devilish grin on her face. She was staring at Blaze who just stood up, still a bit dazed.
"Well well well, if it ain't my puny pathetic brother," She mocked. "I see you're still looking weak and pathetic as usual."
"That's Blaze's sister?" Jesselyne whispered to Ericha's ears.
"Apparently," She whispered back, thinking back to when Blaze describes his older sister, wanting to get rid of him.
Blaze, who finally snapped out of his trance, just noticed her old sister and smiled. "Oh hey Mizella"
Mizella almost fell from his casual reaction while everyone else mumbled to each other. She then glared at Blaze. "Don't act like we're buddies or something! Ever since I've obtained this power to create these heartless, I was so eager to use them to finish you once and for a-!"
Her speech was interrupted when the huge Octillery heartless fell off of the building, crushing Mizella from above. This caused everyone to stare, deadpanned as they noticed a snot bubble expanding and contracting, from its turret-like mouth,
"Well... so much for a hype battle," Jesselyne began to find her words. She quickly took it back in her mind when she and the others noticed the hyena Pokemon squeezing out from under the heartless.
"Wake up you stupid heartless!" Mizella growled as she angrily kicked it in the head, causing the snot bubble to pop, waking the creature up. It sat up, which caused everyone except Blaze to flinch.
"You all need to get out of the schoolyard unless you're preparing to die," Blaze ordered as he stretched his legs. The police officers began escorting everyone calmly out of the schoolyard quickly.
Curtis and Anya wasted no time getting to safety. Ashely, Sherman, Sheila, Geoff, Tristan, and Jesselyne also ran but stopped when they noticed Ericha wasn't moving.
"Ericha!" Ashely was about to run towards her friend, but Shermar stopped her by putting his arm in front of her without looking at her. Ashely was confused at first but noticed that her friend was staring at the Houndoom who was trying to touch his toes.
Feeling worried about her friend, Ericha slowly took a step forward and was about to speak, but Blaze turned giving her a small smile. "Don't worry about me, I'll make sure that Mizella's heartless wouldn't destroy your world."
Ericha returned with a smile as she turned and ran up to the others. Once she caught up, Ashely whispered in her ears. "Do you really think that young puppy can take on that thing?"
Ericha thought for a second before answering. "Yes, he's the only one who can stop it."
In the parking lot, CTV newswoman and the cameraman could believe their eyes when they noticed the small puppy standing before the huge Heartless octopus. The two got into position as the cameraman began rolling.
The news reporter stared at the camera. "Milada Opena reporting here live in the parking lot of Connaught Public School where a huge animated octopus has appeared out of nowhere."
"Any last words before my heartless crushes every single bone in your body?" Mizella asked with a devilish grin.
"Yeah," Blaze said with a smirk on his face. He went into his fighting stance. "Bring, it on!"
"Cocky little twerp are yah? Get em heartless!" Mizella ordered.
Octillery let out screeching battle cry launching three of it small tentacles at Blaze who jumped back to avoid them causing the tentacles to crash to the location, creating a dust cloud.
The students were surprised by how far he went as Blaze landed a few feet from where he was. Three more tentacles appeared out of the cloud, aiming for the young Houndour. Not feeling intimidated, he jumped up causing the three tentacles to collide right into the tree.
Blaze landed on one of the tentacles and made a mad dash towards the heartless, but before he could even make it halfway, the tentacle stuck in the tree did a big wave with its body sending Blaze flying up in the air.
Two more piranha-like tentacles were coming towards him, with their jaws opened. Some of the students flinched as the tentacles jaws snap shut onto each of his tiny arms. Blaze groaned from pain in his arms as he tried to shake it off, but ends up flailing in the air.
"Look at him, helpless like a fly in a spider web," Mizella taunted, watching amused by Blaze's struggling. "Finish him off!"
As she ordered, one of the large tentacles let out a battle cry and lunged towards the helpless Pokemon.
"I can't watch," Ashely said as she covered her eyes.
Blaze noticed the huge tentacles coming towards and with quick thinking, he swings around like he was doing gymnastics with rings. While mid-swing, his tail glowed into a shiny, metallic gray. With great timing, Blaze's tail smashed right on top of the giant tentacles, spiking it down to the earth, creating an imprint of the huge tentacles on the pavement ground.
What?!" Mizella shouted. She along with some of the students were flabbergasted by the young Houndour's strength.
After going back to his previous position, Blaze then bashed the two small tentacle monsters forcing them to let go of his arms. Once Blaze landed on the giant tentacle, he then launched himself towards the heartless delivering a powerful headbutt into its stomach.
The impact shook Mizella out of shocked expression as she felt her creation, moving backward. The giant Octillery crashed into the black fence behind it, breaking it completely. Blaze jumped away from the heartless as it fell on its back with a huge thud.
"Whoa!" Anya said in shock.
"I never knew Blaze was this powerful," Ericha said in disbelief by his strength.
"Way to go Blaze!" Jesselyne cheered happily. She along with Tristan, Ericha, Ashely, and other students were rooting for Blaze, while Shermar just stood there quietly. The rest were either still too shocked to speak or were silently rooting for the small animated puppy. The two CTV new crew were on top of one of the cars, catching the whole battle on camera.
Mizella, on the other hand, was pissed off as she began to kick the unconscious Octillery. "Get up you stupid heartless! You're gonna let one headbutt take you down?!"
The Octillery monster slowly sat up. Feeling a bit wobbly from the attack, but manage to snap out of it. The bystanders froze when they noticed the heartless was still up. Blaze, on the other hand, knew that the heartless wasn't going to go down that easily.
Mizella jumped up back on top of her monster and glared at Blaze. "I hate to admit, but you're going to be much tougher to kill than I thought,"
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" Tristen whispered to her sisters.
"Well I couldn't have gotten this strong without your help," Blaze said. "I mean how else I was supposed to get out of the dark part of the forest."
Mizella growled, recalling how she would leave him in the middle of the forest. "I wouldn't get too arrogant, my heartless still got some fight in him."
The giant heartless Octillery fires an orange blast from his torrent like a mouth at the Houndour. Blaze jumps out of the way just in time as it creates a huge explosion. The dust cleared up to find a huge crater where he was.
Blaze didn't get the chance to think of a counter-attack as the heartless fired as soon as he landed. Blaze barely was able to avoid the attacks as they were continuously firing at him at rapid speed.
"Stand still!" Mizella roared angrily jumping up and down. Blaze landed and shot out bolts of fire out of his mouth and was head towards Octillery's orange blast which easily overpowered the ember attack and was heading towards Blaze, who was able to roll out of the way. Although the attack misses the impact was somehow stronger than the others and sent Blaze across the soccer field and into the fence.
"Blaze!" Ericha screamed. Once the dust cleared up a bit, Blaze is seen struggling to get from getting hit by the aftershock but was also tired from dodging its attacks. One of the large tentacles snatched him, lifting him up in the air It then returned towards Mizella
"You know it amuses me when you're trapped like that," Mizella grinned. "Now I wonder what I should do to you. I mean I doubt these morons have a volcano I can throw you in, but they Mizella have something that even you can't survive."
Blaze took his time to catch his breath, causing Mizella to taunt him even more. "What's the matter. Meowth got your tongue?"
"Nope," Blaze answered, not feel intimidated by his situation he's in. "I just feel sorry for you."
"W-What?!" Mizella was taken back by what he said.
"That right, mom told me about what happened," Blaze said. "It must've been hard to go through that. I mean she said that they had no choice, but to use it to save your life."
Mizella was speechless as her anger rises. "I thought I told her not to mention it to you...Well now that you know…." Her snarl turned into a devilish grin. "Now I have a motive to get rid of you."
"Wait," Blaze yelled, but he was out of earshot as the tentacles he was stuck went high up the air.
"Now that enough toying with you. Octillery finish him off!" Mizella ordered. The big tentacle opened its mouth dropping Blaze while Octillery torrent like mouth began to fire massive torrent of water at him.
Blaze didn't have the chance to counter as he was directly hit by the water attack, causing a massive explosion.
"Blaze!" Ericha yelled as she and the others noticed the Houndour coming out of the smoke cloud high up in the air until they couldn't see him anymore.
"Well we're doomed," Curtis said as he landed on his knees, feeling hopeless. "She's gonna take over the world and use our brains as juice."
The crowd just felt their last bit of hope drifted away like a leaf in a wind. Many of them are crying, holding onto each other. Jesselyne, Tristan, and Ericha sadly went to Geoff and Sheila and hugged them, trying to hold back the tears, but failed to.
"I love you all," Sheila sobbed.
"Don't forget about Blaze," Tristen sobbed.
In the corner, Curtis and Anya hugging each for dear life.
"No matter what happens...I hope she gets your brain first," Curtis sobbed.
"Excuse me?" Anya stared at Curtis.
"What it was your fault to provoke her!" Curtis said
"My fault?!" Anya repeated angrily. "If I recall, it was your prank you created up!"
Shermar watch as the argument turn into an all-out brawl. Anya punched Curtis in the stomach, but Curtis was able to trip Anya sending the two rolling on the ground.
Ashely shyly walked over to him. "I-I'm really sorry for being so mean to you over the years. I-I know how it feels to be made fun of."
"Don't worry about it," Shermar replied with a smile. This made Ashely blushed a bit by his smile. She then held his arm hugging it, which made him a bit surprised, but shook it off as he stared at the sky.
Mizella stared at the crowd with an odd look on her face. "Quit your whining wimps! I have no business with you all."
"Say what?!" Ericha asked.
"Are you guys that dumb?" Mizella rolled her eyes. "The only reason I came to this dump was to destroy my brother. Now that he's gone, I'll be going back to my ship and getting out of this place before your dumbest effects me."
Ericha couldn't believe what she was hearing. She walked forwards with confidence. "Excuse me? So you've done all this just to kill off your own flesh in blood?"
"Ericha what the hell are you doing?!" Curtis and Anya yelled.
"Duh!" Mizella said.
"What did he do to you to deserve that kind of treatment?!" Ericha questioned.
"I don't have time to play 20 questions, move it before I lose my patience," Mizella threatened.
"No," Ericha
"What?!" Curtis and Anya shouted in shock.
"If you want to get out of here, you have to go through me," Ericha said.
"And us too!" Jesselyne yelled as she, Tristen, Jesselyne, Geoff, and Sheila stood beside Ericha.
"Yeah, we're Blaze's friends and we are not gonna let you get away with it! Right, dad?" Tristen added.
"You got that right son," Geoff smiled.
"Me too," Shermar stepped beside Ericha.
"If he's going I'm going too," Ashely said on the other side of Ericha. Soon every student, parent, teacher and even bystanders step forward. Despite how big the monster was. Curtis and Anya were still too busy fighting to notice.
"Excuse me!" The female tv reporter shouted, getting everyone's attention. "Hi, I'm Milada Opena from CTV News. I have some questions for you to answer for the viewers."
"Whoa Whoa, What the heck is that?!" Mizella pointed to the cameraman.
"Um...That a camera," Milada answered. "We use it to show people around the world what you're doing."
"Really?" Mizella turned to the camera with a wide grin on her face. "Well hello, morons watching at home! I'm Mizella Inferno and I'm from a whole different dimension where there are more like me."
Everyone had a drop of sweat in the back of their heads as Mizella continued to rant on the camera. Which caused Octillery to fall asleep.
Ericha closed her eyes. 'I hope you're okay... Blaze.'
Blaze is unconsciously flying through the night sky until he landed in the Ottawa River. As he sank down in the bottom of the river a huge shark was coming towards him with its jaws opened. It was an inch towards him, but a bright light glowed around Blaze which scared the shark.
The light formed into a sphere extracting the water inside, leaving the Houndour on the floor of the sphere. The figure was also inside the sphere as it picked him up.
"Are you okay?" The figure asked.
Blaze slowly opened his eyes as he came face to face with the figure which happens to be a 14-year-old girl with long dark blue eyes and hair which had a white bow and dark blue heart on it. She wore a white dress with the to top part had ruffle trimmings.
"Y-Yeah," Blaze groaned as he rubbed his eyes. Once he finished, Blaze's eyes widen when he finally recognized her.
"Cure White?" Blaze stuttered in shock. The girl she saw on the television, was standing right in front of her. "Is that really you?"
"Yes, and before you ask, No you are not dead," Cure White answered.
"I wasn't going to say that," Blaze said in a deadpanned tone. He then looks around his surroundings. "Where are we?"
"We're in the Ottawa River," Cure White replied. "You fell into it and were about to be eaten by a shark."
"Shark?" Blaze repeated confused. "That sounds like a Sharpedos rip-off. Anyway, since you're here, there's something wanted to ask you."
Cure White was quiet, indicating that Blaze can continue. "Well, while watching you and your partner on the television. I wondered why are you two fighting against that guy who bragged about the world being devoured by the darkness?" Blaze asked curiously.
"Well, that guy wanted the crystals we're trying to find for evil purposes. To send darkness to cover our worlds, which could bring unhappiness to other peop-." Cure White stopped when she noticed Blaze looking down."What's wrong?"
"Sorry, it just that darkness and evil in the same sentence, makes me feel a bit sad since I'm a Fire/Dark type Pokemon," Blaze nervously laughed. "Back on my home planet, tons of Pokemon kept away from me due to my species. I heard rumors that my species are the devil's servants or enemies against nature and peace. My family and my only friend, were the only one who treated me kind and gentle, even Mizella who hates me so much. Maybe a Pokemon like me who's created by darkness are made to be evil and wiped ou-."
Cure White frown as she interrupted the Houndour by pinching his cheeks and stretched it as far as she could. "Don't talk like that! Just because your part dark type doesn't make you evil!"
"Really? But what about when you two said, 'Well sap out the darkness and summon the light!' That's proof that darkness is always evil!" Blaze yelled, despite his cheeks being stretched.
Cure White thought for a second as she let go of Blaze's cheeks. The two were silent for a minute. Feeling bad about his outburst, Blaze was about to open his mouth to speak, but Cure White quiet him by putting her finger on his lips.
"Sorry for my outburst," Cure White apologized. "It just, you remind me of a boy I know in my class."
Blaze closed his mouth in silents. His eyes widen in shock. "He was really popular and famous, and many people including my friend Black were impressed by his skills, knowledge, and charms. I didn't really care about that since I see everyone as equal. Cure Black and I were friends with him...until He told me that he was with the Dark Kingdom, the enemy we are fighting against."
"Whoa! I didn't see that coming," Blaze said in disbelief. "So...what happened?"
"He challenged us to a fight for his Prism Stone. We tried to talk to him, but his heart was leading to the Dark Kingdom. Forcing us to fight him..." Tears streamed down her cheeks. "In the end...he trusted us with his prism stone and had to pay the price. We thought that there could be some way to save him but... "
"I'm sorry about that," Blaze said sadden by her story.
"No it's okay, I get emotional whenever I tell that story," Cure White uses her sleeve to wipe her tears off her face. "The point is that being someone who's born in darkness or have an element that resembles evil doesn't mean that you can't do good things. Even the vicious of beasts can protect a flower."
"Really?" Blaze asked. The Pretty Cure gave a slight nod as she patted Blaze's head with her hand glowing. Suddenly, Blaze's injuries from the heartless were completely gone.
"Don't give up Blaze and remember. Even the most vicious beast can protect a flower," Cure White smiles as she dissolved into tiny bright dust. The light surrounding Blaze disappeared as soon as she was gone. Luckily Blaze took a deep breath as soon as the bubble he was in was gone.
Blaze looked around the darkness in the sea. He tried to swim upward, but find himself pushing down. Suddenly he was pushed up by a massive figure from below, sending him above the surface of the water. Once he was out of the water Blaze opening his mouth letting out all the air he held.
"I apologize for not coming here sooner," A calm female voice said. Blaze looked down to find himself on a blue giant sea creature.
"Who are you?" Blaze asked.
"I am Kyogre: The Legendary Pokemon of the sea," She introduced.
"Legendary Pokemon?" Blaze repeated a bit confused until it hit him. "Oh! I heard about you guys from my mom. She told me about a legendary Pokemon with power that can expand the ocean, but what are you doing here?"
"I've awoken when I sense the heartless energy getting stronger," Kyogre explained.
"Wait, you can sense the heartless energy too?" Blaze asked.
"Correct, the Heartless use to be monster invested from beings with dark hearts. However, when the door to Kingdom Heart closed, the creatures transformed into energy from disease organisms, and are easy to be controlled by beings with a dark heart. The energy was forced into the poor Remoraid, putting his minds in an endless void," Kyogre explained.
"Is there any way to take the energy out of the user?" Blaze asked, looking a bit worried.
"Yes, the main weak point of any Heartless is their symbol," Kyogre replied. "If you attack it enough times, the heartless energy will be disintegrated out of the user's body returning to normal."
Blaze remembered head-butting the logo on the heartless's stomach, which pushes the creature back. Kyogre continued. "However if the monster isn't defeated within 24 hours, the energy will kill the user becoming a full; fledged Emerald Heartless."
Blaze wasn't that surprised since he heard that countless of Pokemon back on his world lost their lives due to being possessed by the Heartless Energy, but was worried that the Heartless energy inside Remoraid was slowly killing him.
While he was deep into thought, Kyogre fired a jet of water out of her blowhole sending Blaze upward to the sky, surprising him. Blaze was about fall in the water, but a colorful looking bird caught him midair.
"You okay kid?" The bird asked.
"Yeah," Blaze answered still startled. "Who are you?"
"W-what?! How could you remember Cure White and Kyogre and not me?" The bird comedically cried. "A-Anyway I'm Ho-oh the famous legendary bird Pokemon."
"...Still never heard of you," Blaze said truthfully.
The answer caused Ho-oh to stare in shock, he then hung his head low with a depressed aura surrounding him. Blaze sweet dropped by his overreaction.
"W-well can I at least tell you my story?" The bird Pokemon asked.
"Okay," Blaze answered.
"It all began a long time ago," Ho-Oh started returned to normal. "I had a friend name Milton the Lugia. Our bond was stronger than any other Pokemon in the world. We were just like brothers...until the incident."
"Incident?" The Houndour raised his eyebrows.
"He was captured by a wicked man that change him into a monster. It wasn't a Heartless, but something much worse. My friend was taken so many lives that day, and I had no choice but to fight him." Ho-Oh explained with a determined look.
"The battle was epic!" Ho-oh yelled getting into his own story. "Two of us were clashing in the stormy night! My fire and his water colliding like fireworks in the night sky!"
"Um…" Blaze interrupted knowing that Ho-oh was getting way into his own story.
"Sorry," Ho-oh coughed. "In the end, I had to kill my friend, to stop him from destroying the world. It broke my heart to do it, but his heart was already corrupted."
"I'm so sorry," Blaze said sadden by his story, but then looked determined. "I won't let it happen to Remoraid. I'm gonna stop the Heartless energy from consuming him no matter what!"
"I like your enthusiasm kid," Ho-Oh said with a grin on his face. "Your kind words got me out of my depression. Let me give you a little boost!"
Ho-oh's body started to glow which made Blaze jumped a bit, but felt his Flash Fire ability trigger as his body began to absorb the flames Ho-oh's producing. "What's going on?"
"What does it look like, I'm giving my flames temporarily to extinguish the Heartless energy," Ho-Oh replied. "Now go and protect this world!"
As he said that Blaze launches himself off of Ho-oh's back, leaving a trail of flames like a rocket. Kyogre, Cure White who was sitting on Kyogre and Ho-Oh watch as the Houndour disappears like a shooting star in the sky.
"I thought my acting skills improved," Ho-oh grinned.
"You're acting yes, your directions...not so much," Cure White sweet dropped.
Ho-Oh turned to Cure White confused. "I'm not getting the joke,"
"What she meant is you just sent Blaze in the wrong direction," Kyogre corrected.
"...0_0….Oops," Ho-oh said sheepishly.
