Chapter 22
Where we last left off, Team RWBY has traveled their way down to Hivehell to stop a legendary bug and normal-type Pokemon, Seikamater. Once every few years, the Seikamater awakens from her slumber to feed and lay eggs. Weiss uses her semblance in order to have everyone traveled down to the Queen's Chamber in order to stop the raids from happening around the island. Now, Team RWBY is gonna fight against the head queen herself.

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
(Pokémon!)
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Yeah, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all)
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!
Team RWBY are about ready for a fight against the legendary Pokemon as they pull out their Pokeballs.
Ruby throws hers first, "Go! Aurum!" Aurum, her Noctowl, pops out and is ready for battle.
Weiss throws hers, "Go, Nicolas!" Nicolas, Weiss' Eevee, is ready for combat. But she pulls out a device and press the red orb. Then Eevee is transformed into Flareon.
Blake throws hers, "Come out, Aveden!" Aveden pops out and is ready to fight.
Then finally, Yang throws her Pokeball, "Time for combat, Blazerina!" Blazerina, Yang's Monferno, has her fists ready and eager for some action. "Let's get this royal beehive right in the behind!"
Everyone, including the Seikamater, are giving Yang weird looks.
Yang looks and everybody and goes, "What?"
Ruby goes, "Really? Do you have to ruin this epic moment with a pun?"
"It wasn't a pun." Yang tries to defend herself from the accusation.
"Well talk about Yang's awful puns later." Weiss says.
"HEY! Wow. I think I know what's it like to be ice queen."
"SHUT IT!"
Ruby groans, "Can we just focus on the job at hand?!"
Everyone gets back into fighting position as the Seikamater use fire blast. Yang and Blazerina stand firm as everyone else dodge the attack.
"Use mach punch!" Yang ordered.
Blazerina's right fist glow light blue as she charges at Seikamater through the fire blast. Yet the flames that made contact with Blazerina's fist started to swirl around it and becomes engulf by it, almost as if it has become a fire punch. Then Blazerina's fist made contact to Seikamater's abdomen and does burn infliction. The rest of Team RWBY watch and are amazed at what just happen.
"That is awesome!" Ruby is impressed.
Blake state, "That's similar to what Franklin did with his Lurantis against Blue. Taking your opponent's attack with another attack and have it strike back at them."
The Seikamater screams in pain while slowly move around to stop the pain. Her movements are slow and sluggish not because of her body, but because her age. The Seikamater has lived through many long years and has aged to the point that she may not last long.
Ruby then orders, "Aurum, use sky attack!"
Blake order, "Aveden, use air cutter!"
Aurum's eyebrow tufts glow white and he flies into the air as it prepares for the attack. Then, his body becomes surrounded by a white aura. Aveden
flaps his wings and light blue crescent shaped blades or a stream of light blue 'X' shaped blades are released from the tips of his wings. The air cutter is sent in with Aurum behind it for a double attack. But the Seikamater has her six wings become surrounded by yellow electricity. Then, her body becomes surrounded by electricity and it fires a massive yellow beam of electricity at the air cutter. The air cutter was canceled out but Aurum still charges at Seikamater. Aurum makes a direct hit as Seikamater gets a nasty bruise under her chin. Then she suffers burn as she gets engulfed in flames for a few seconds which is agonizing.
Weiss then orders, "Use flamethrower!"
Yang then says, "Combine it with flame wheel!"
Blazerina spins to create a flame wheel as Nicolas fires his flamethrower. The flame wheel combine with the flamethrower has cause the flame wheel to create a brighter and bigger flame wheel as it charges at Seikamater.
Ruby orders, "Aurum, use sky attack again!"
Blake orders, "Use air attack again!"
Aurum and Aveden do their combo again, however the air cutter is at the front of the flame wheel that causes to change from light blue to fiery red while Aurum is behind the flame wheel. Seikamater tries to do a tri-attack on the combo, but she is moving a lot slower and is weaken. Then she gets a direct hit form the four way combo move. The Seikamater screams in serious pain as she moves around in agony until she falls down.
Seikamater has fainted.
Ruby jumps for joy, "We did it!"
Weiss snuggles her Nicolas, "That was amazing, Nicolas!"
Yang gives Blazerina a high-five, "Nice job, girl!"
Blake pets her Aveden that is sitting on her right shoulder. Yet she looks at the massive insect and notices something is off. "Isn't it a little too easy?" Blake asks while still looking at the fainted creature. "I mean, Seikamaters are legendary Pokemon and legendaries don't go down that easily."
The three stop celebrating and take a good look at the Seikamater.
Ruby is still in cheery mode with Aurum perched on her head, "But we did it! Right?"
Weiss thinks about it for a moment and Blake does make a good point. "True. Both of you. Yet its movements are slow and went down too easy."
Yang stretches her arms with Blazerina imitating her, "Well, this bug is old. She won't be bugging anyone anymore."
"THAT WAS TERRIBLE!" says a male voice inside the chamber. The voice sounds close but does sound familiar to Team RWBY.
They all look around yet found nothing.
"OVER HERE!" the voice says again.
"Prof. Acacia?!" Ruby recognize the voice, "Where are you?!"
"ON THE WEB CLOSE TO THIS HOLE THAT LEADS TO ANOTHER CHAMBER!"
The four walk towards the direction of the voice along with their Pokemon until they finally come across Prof. Acacia wrapped in a webby cocoon with only his head out behind the defeated Seikamater.
"Hey, girls!" the professor acts like everything is normal. "How goes the your journey?!"
"Prof. Acacia?" Weiss says with some confusion, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh! I got called about the Seikamater about to reach the final phase of her life-cycle." Prof. Acacia explains. "I was gonna take notes on the chosen candidate for the next Seikamater that is eating the royal jelly but got caught."
Yang goes, "Wait, what?"
A bright blue and white glow is shining behind Team RWBY as they slowly turn around to see a Pokemon evolving into a new Seikamater. They cannot see what the Pokemon used to be as six wings sprout from its body along with it being bigger and fatter with its six legs and head taking shape along with fur growing on it.
The four go, "Uh-oh." as they are about to fight in stage two.
When it evolved, the old Seikamater gets turned into a dull, brown-colored husk as it, well, dies. The old Seikamater has lived for hundreds of years and is exhausted from so many years of fighting, eating and laying eggs. For all its life, she has served her purpose as queen and now gets the rest she deserves (despite being whacked by Team RWBY's Pokemon) as the torch is passed to the next generation of Seikamater.
"So it happens." Prof. Acacia says while intrigued. "The cycle begins a new as the torch is passed down to the next generation. Okay, I may not be a poet like Prof. Oak, but still though. So do you think you can get me out before she-"
The Seikamater starts to devour the husk of the old queen with everyone watching. All the members of Team RWBY start to feel ill watching. So do their Pokemon so they returned to their Pokeballs.
"EEEEWWW!" Ruby looks away.
Yang looks away, "Aw man. This is disgusting."
Weiss says, "I'm about to...to..." She covers her mouth as she runs off to throw-up.
Blake just look away in disgust while going, "Blech!"
Prof. Acacia says, "Soooo, can you get me down before-"
Prof. Acacia's sentence is interrupted again as two more of the elemental bug-types start to evolve to become Seikamaters. The other two started to feast on the remains of the old queen.
"We need to leave." Prof. Acacia has a good point.
The team yank the wrapped-up Pokemon professor as they went through the hole behind him in order to escape. When the Seikamaters are done feasting, the three battle each other to see who will be the queen of Hivehell. The cave rumbles as the three fight to see who gets to be the new queen of Hivehell. Who ever is defeated leaves in search of a new hive to populate. Team RWBY manage to escape through the hole where Acacia was tied-up before pieces of the cave comes down and block their way out. As the battle continues, they have entered into some sort of chamber that has columns of royal jelly that goes up to the ceiling. The four carry the professor to the other side of the cavern until they come across some of the professor's lab equipment.
"Oh yeah! We may need to use my equipment to cut me out and collect the royal jelly." says Prof. Acacia.
The four put him down and look for a tool to cut him out. Despite the shock waves from the battle, the cavern is being held-up by solidified royal jelly to prevent it from caving in. While the team searches for a scalpel or some sort of cutting tool, Blake notices a few jars on the crate that are empty along with having lids.
"Hang on!" Blake says, "I need to get what we came for!"
"Make it quick!" Yang says as she pulls out a saw, "Who knows how long this place is gonna last!"
Blake takes fourteen of the jars to fill them up with royal jelly as fast as she could. Ruby and Weiss try to remove as much of the webbing by hand while Yang uses her saw to cut the cocoon.
"Wait a minute!" Ruby says, "We got sheers! The ones that Blake and Weiss won at the market raffle!"
The three quickly pull out their sheers that is suppose to be used as a replacement for cut and manage to free the professor.
Weiss says to Blake, "Hurry!"
"Almost done!" Blake tries to finish filling the last jar up to the brim. "Got it!" She places the jar in her storage devices along with the other jars. "Now we can leave!"
The five of them ran as fast as they could to find an exit until the professor pointed out some of his pens on the ground that he dropped...somehow. The five follow the pens as far as they can until they can see the exit.
"There it is!" Ruby points and shouts.
But the shock wave of the battle cause a boulder to block their path.
"Crap!" Weiss swears.
Yang pulls out a power glove, a device that is supposed to be a substitute for strength and rock smash, and arms it. "Don't worry! I got this!" Yang charges at the boulder and punches it. Smashing the boulder into pebbles. She shouts at the four, "Come on!"
Everyone manage to make it out as they take a moment to breath. The five are tired while covered in some dirt, a little bit of jelly, and a few bruises. Yang shakes her head to remove a few pebbles in her hair. They all then lay down from exhaustion after making that daring escape right before another shock wave collapsed the tunnel.
"I'm exhausted." Ruby groans.
Weiss then groans, "Hope we don't have to do that every time."
Blake just has her face down on the ground as she says, "..."
"At least Blake got her jelly for her Tricwe." Yang states in an exhausted work.
Prof. Acacia sits straight up, "Well, that was fun." Then just stands up, "I need to get back to my lab before things get out of hand. Got data to process and other trainers to check-up on." He walks a few steps before looking back at Team RWBY, "I'll let you girls continue on your journey. But some advice: might wanna take a bath. Keep me inform." Then walks away.
He does have a point. They really need a bath after that.
Ruby says, "I'll in favor of heading back to the hot springs and taking a bath?"
Everyone raise their hands in agreement.
"Then let's head back... After some rest."
Looks like Team RWBY had one interesting adventure and made some close calls. But this will not be the last of any of the close calls they will encounter. Tune in next time for another chapter of this story. Until then, have a nice day!
AN: Got the new chapter up. This chapter may not be as epic as everyone imagined but I had a lot of work to do. Now for some Q&A.
WrighteousRighter: Yes, I saw the Sir'Fetched trailer. But like I said, have to wait for the game to be released for them to appear on this story.
keybladelight: Yes, Seikamater is a legendary Pokemon and a unique one at that. Unlike most legendary Pokemon, this one can actually lay eggs and can be evolved from any common Pokemon that eats the royal jelly (carry the item in the game). And now, at some point, Blake will get a new legendary Pokemon in her party.
