Chapter 53: Lost for Words
The scorching sun hovers in the sky giving heat as a grey Jeep rolling onto a patch of grass,arriving at its destination. There in their Grey uniforms,Mike,Keith,and Jason unpacked find their prize.
"Damn,just how are we going to find these last set of schematics in this place." Keith said. "And in this heat no less?!" Jason complained. "Just shut up! The sooner we do,the sooner we're out of here." Mike said. "We don't even know what we are looking for!" Jason said. "We're looking for this." Mike showed them a holo image of what was a flash drive.
"A flash drive? Something so small hidden away in a place like this." Said Keith. "Not to the scientist I had to beat. They hid it in a brief case,and buried it in the ground." Said Mike. "Okay I going to knock some heads in as soon as we get back...why buried it!" Said Keith. "Same reason they chose this place Keith!" Mike shoved him. "Well we don't have much time to search this place before the whole Power Plant is swarm by cops and such." Said Jason. "Maybe...but I do have a plan." Mike said. "Which is?" The other two asked. "Well,remember when I said this place is a safe haven?" Said Mike. "You mean the Pokémon who live here?" Said Jason.
"Of course,like the Boss said,everyone has their usage until they don't." Mike chuckled.
As the sun beat down on them Ash and the group struggled walk across the barren wasteland. "Okay...how is this place not like the other places in Kalos?" Ash wiped sweat off his head. "Basically it's just the climate in this area Ash. The sun is more directed here and with no rainfall. You get the Badlands." Said Drake,who also wiped the sweat off his head. His jacket was wrapped around his waist and only had his red shirt on.
"Wow it's a good thing my hair is cut off for this." Said Serena. "Clemont is there any water left." Bonnie asked. "Water? Water where." Clemont looked around as if he was insane. "Forget it. The last of the water was drank like five miles ago." Said Ash. "We're going to be fried to death if we don't get water." Serena said. "Technically,the buzzards would pick our carcasses way before that." Said Drake. "Not helping Drake!" Serena yelled. "Isn't there some sort of rest stop or bathroom or...something!" Bonnie said. Drake checked his map on his watch and saw their pleads have been answered.
"Unless I'm seeing things,there's a some sort of oasis within a half mile from here." Drake said. "You're probably not,I heard stories of a safe haven for Pokémon there from challengers." Said Clemont. "Well what are we waiting for?! I'm melting over here." Said Bonnie who ran ahead. "Well...at least she was right about the rest stop." Said Drake.
Five minutes later from on top of a cliff edge,the gang finally reach the oasis,and know that they weren't hallucinating. "Well there it is." Said Ash. "We'll just restock up on water,probably some food and be on our way...right?" Clemont said. "If you knew us that well,you definitely shouldn't jinxed things." Said Drake,making Clemont more worried.
Finally reached the soft grass,the gang spotted a river and refilled all their water bottles while taking selfies to quench their thirst. "I think it's best we rest under the shade for awhile." Ash suggested. Everyone nodded as they decided to take naps. Drake on the other hand stayed awake,something was keeping him so. "I got a bad feeling about this." Drake told himself.
As a group of Pokémon,which are composed of Spoink and their leader Grumpig. As they helped the three men search for the brief case that contains the flash drive. The family remembered a group of scientists came there a few months back and asked their permission to keep something here. Of course,they promised this won't do anything that'll harm their home. They agreed and the scientists buried the suitcase and left,simple as that.
Under Mike and his team,according to them,they were the security team from the Power Plant who came for the brief case for the researchers they worked for. Grumpig and his family were obligated to help and have been using their Psychic powers to search the grounds ever since.
"Ha,I can't believe how gullible these Pokémon are." Said Keith. "Shut it,you don't want one of them to hear you." Said Mike. "Sorry...I just want to leave this stinking place." Said Keith. "Soon,just give it more time,and then...Grumpig will regret getting involved." Mike snickered until Jason came back from the river. "Hey...I think we got a problem." Said Jason.
"Ok,this I'll bite. What is it?" Mike asked. "Well I was down at the river until I heard words." Said Jason. "Get to the point." Mike said. "Well...get look for yourselves." Jason took out a tablet and shown pictures of what was Ash and gang.
"Well I'll be." Said Mike. "It's those punks from the fossil lab afew months back." Said Keith. "And did they see you?" Mike asked. "No,you still know what this means. Right?" Jason said. "If they're heading Lumiose City,that means they'll have to pass through the Power Plant. What do we do?" Keith said. "I'll have to contact the boss. See what to do." Said Mike. He then took the tablet from Jason and imput contacts to reach the head. Then on screen appeared the person they feared the most.
"Report." All three looked looked at each other,until Mike stepped up. "Mission is going as plan Sir,but there is alittle snag." He said. "Little?" The figure said. "Well...remember those trainers we reported back at the fossil lab a few months back?" Mike said. Right away Boss man knew what they talking about. "That's...not...little Sergeant. You're telling me the Ketchums are there with you right now?!" The figure demanded. "Yes Sir. With your permission we will deal with them." Said Mike. "No,your mission is those schematics." The figure countered which surprised the three. "With all due respect...those guys will pass right to Power Plant and see what's happening outside. It'll be easier to deal with them now." Mike argued
"YOU WONT! You do not know Ash and Drake Ketchum like I do! Especially when the latter kicked your ass the last time. You face them. You will fail. That is why you will retrieve those plans,you will come back here and not settle old grudges. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" The figured yelled. "...yes Sir." Mike said as he hung up the connection.
"Wow,I never thought the boss could be that mad." Said Jason. "Forget it. We will deal with them now." Said Mike. "Are you stupid?! After what the Boss just said!" Jason said. "I already have a plan,and screw our orders." Mike said,leaving Jason and Keith alone.
After a ten minute nap,Ash and the others wake,but Ash still saw Drake looking at his own reflection in the river. "Drake what is it?" He walked over. "I don't know. I've been having a bed feeling since we got here." Drake said,looking worried. "Is that why you've been stressed out lately?" Ash said. "Ash trust me,my gut is never wrong." Said Drake. "Well. The good news is after that nap,we gonna start getting going." Said Ash. "Hey guys." The group called them over.
"What is it?" Ash asked. "Well,I just remembered that beyond this oasis is the Kalos Power Plant." Said Clemont. "The Power Plant?" Drake asked. "Yea,its where all power get managed and distributed. I helped designed the operations systems." Said Clemont. "Wow Clemont,that's huge." Ash commented. "So maybe we could stop by. I know most of the people who work there and I've been meaning to check in for awhile." Clemont said. "Sure Clemont that won't be a problem." Drake said.
Unfortunately they didn't get very far they got ready to leave,standing right in front of them was a large group of Spoink and leading them was a Grumpig. "These must be the Pokémon who live here." Said Ash. Grumpig then spoke and based on the sound and loudness,he wasn't happy. "Wait what,slow down!" Drake said. "Guys what's he saying?" Serena asked. Grumpig then spoke alittle slower but was still angry. "Ok...that's highly sudden." Said Drake. "Guys?" Clemont asked. "If I'm interpreting right. Grumpig says we're here to harm his family and his home." Ash said,leaving the others shocked.
"No way,we would never harm anyone." Clemont said. Grumpig then spoke still angrily and Drake knew this wasn't getting anywhere. "Grumpig,we wish to do no harm." Drake told it. Grumpig didn't bother and order his family to circle the group. "Guys,what will we do." Bonnie said. Grumpig then spoke in a daring order that Drake knew they may not avoid. "You will not do that." Drake said. Grumpig then spoke saying "try me" and then gave the order. Right away the first row of Spoink held the group down with Psychic. "Hey!""let us go!" Then the remaining Spoink charged up and use Hidden Power on the group to knock them out. One by one Ash and the group fell asleep while Drake was the last to go and he thought he saw another person besides Grumpig before dosing off.
It was dark and damp as Ash and the group stirred in their little nap. "Uhhh,guys,guys! Wake up." Drake was the first to wake. "Uhh,what happened?" Clemont said weakly. "Never mind that,where are we." Serena asked. They looked around to see they were that they inside a cave and around ten feet in front of them was the exit,but they were blocked however,by a cage. "What is this?" Drake tried to break the bars.
"It won't work." Everyone then turns to see a familiar sight,but one so unexpected,along with Grumpig at their side. "You three. You're the soldiers who broke into the fossil lab a few months ago." Ash said. Grumpig then immediately questioned when he heard soldiers. "Don't listen to them they're liars...It nice to see we weren't forgotten. But now I'm afraid we are on a tight schedule." Said Mike. "Let us go!" Serena yelled. "Who!" Everyone then turned to Drake. "Who are you working for?!" He demanded. "I don't have to answer to you Drake." Mike said. "Like before. How do you know who we are and what we do?!" Ash asked. "Trust me. You will find out soon,and by then...we will break you." Mike threaten as the team left along with Grumpig.
"Grumpig,allow us to thank you for your assistance." Mike then took a Pokéball and released a Gengar. "Shadow Ball." Gengar then fired a ball of darkness at the unsuspecting Grumpig,hurling him back into the cave,leaving the Spoink horrified. "Now Hypnosis on the Spoink." Gengar then summon a mental wave that suddenly put all the Spoink under Gengar's control. "Perfect..now another Shadow Ball to seal the cave." Gengar then fired another Shadow Ball on ceiling of the cave,causing it to collapse.
"Well...I hope you're happy." Said Jason. "Thrilled...now,have the Spoink found the spot?" Mike asked. "Not yet,but they're getting close." Said Keith. "Alright,Gengar tell them to hurry. We're already behind schedule." Said Mike. Jason and Keith grew worried,the Boss is going to go all hell on them for what they done.
Inside the now blackout cave,Drake then managed tried to find his bag only to realize that Mike and the others placed their bags outside their cell. "We need a light source." Said Drake. He need tried to laminate his Aura with his hand so that his hand was glowing,but since his Aura manifested in a traditional blue/purple color,it wasn't lit so much. "I could just get to my bag. There's a flashlight in there." Drake said. "Why not just break the cage?" Clemont asked. "There's two problems with that." Drake punched the cage once again. "This is most likely reinforced steel,which would take me days just to even dent with no breaks. And two: too enough destructive force could cause the entire cave to collapse with us inside." Drake explained.
"Well that's just perfect. So we are just gonna wait here and hold our breath?!" Serena questioned. "Like I said,if I could only reach my bag." Drake said. "Wait,I got an idea." Ash then turned to his belt and picked out a Pokéball and released Goomy. "My?" He said. "Hey buddy,do you think you could reach to Drake's bag over there?" Ash pointed. Goomy nodded and slide over through the cage. "Of course,Goomy is mainly liquid so it'll pass right through the bars." Said Clemont. "Great idea sweetie." Serena kissed Ash's cheek,leaving him blushing. Goomy then reached Drake's bag and opened it with its mouth. "Great Goomy,now look for the flashlight." Drake said. Goomy then comb through Drake's bag to find the object and after awhile he found it. "Goomy!" It cheered. "Great,bring it over." Drake said. With its mouth,Goomy then brought the flashlight back to the group and giving it Drake.
"Great job Goomy." Ash praised,leaving the Soft Tissue Pokémon in awe. Drake then turn it on to look around and was surprised to see a familiar sight. "Guys,look!" They spotted a big pink body lying unconscious. "It's Grumpig!" Drake said.
Some time has passed as the team wait around while the Spoink look for the briefcase's hiding place until one of them suddenly came over. It talked to Gengar and Gengar told Mike the good news. "Great,now let's get to work." He told the others as he grabbed a shovel.
"Grumpig do you hear us." Drake called,unfortunately to no avail. Grumpig was still unconscious. "Goomy,do you think you could try to wake Grumpig up." Ash asked. Goomy nodded and sledders over,pass through the bars again and over to where Grumpig was lying. It climbs on top of its chest,and using its tiny horns it hits Grumpig on his snout,unfortunately that doesn't work. He then tried something else and tried nibbling on his ear. This caused Grumpig to began laugh out of the sensation and finally waking up. "Grumpig!" Drake called. Grumpig then turned to see the gang still trapped inside their cell.
"Grumpig,now do you see that you were being used." Drake said. Grumpig then angrily admitted to the sudden realization. He was tricked and now he was worried as to how was the well being of his family. The same one he swore to protect after they accepted him from the outside. "Grumpig!" It said. "I understand you're angry,but right now you need to get us out. Can you get me my bag?" Drake asked. Grumpig nodded and grabbed Drake's bag off the side and gave it to him. "What are you gonna do?" Ash asked. "I'm...gonna try to pick the lock." Drake said as he took out two small pins.
As they approached where all the Spoink were hurled at one spot. "Alright let's get busy." Mike said as he dogged the first dig with Jason and Keith helping.
After finally picking the lock for six minutes,the door finally opened. "Great." The group said. "Now we just need to get out of this cave." Said Ash. "Good news is that,that is much easier then the door." Drake said. I'll give you a hand." Ash said. Grumpig approach them and asked he'll get involved too. "By all means." Drake said. Right away,Ash and Drake charged up an Aura Sphere and Grumpig a Psybeam,and all three combined their attacks and fired.
The sound of the explosion was heard from their dig site,meaning Mike and the others knew they ran out of time. "Damnit! Sounds like trouble." Mike said. "No problem though." Jason then picked out and reach what was a blue briefcase and got back up to ground. "Perfect,we gotta go." Said Keith. "What about them." Jason asked about the Spoink. "Their...usage just ran out." Mike snapped his fingers and Gengar then used Hypnosis and put all the Spoink to sleep. "Great now let's get to the Jeep."
With Ash and Drake tracking Aura signatures they ran to where they found low yield signatures coming from ten yards North. "This way." The group nodded as they ran ahead. There they saw the entire Spoink group knocked out. "Oh no." Serena said. Grumpig however was devastated,he brought this on his family,leaving him in tears. "It's okay Grumpig,they're only asleep." Drake tried to confront him. Clemont then found hole Mike and his team dug. "Guys look!" They inspected the hole. "Looks like they dug something out." Said Serena. Grumpig then spoke that they dug out a small briefcase some scientists from the Power Plant hid here a few months back. "But why all this trouble just for a briefcase?" Serena asked. "It's what's inside it is what I'm worried about." Drake said. Ash then tried something to look for Mike and his team until he spotted very distinct signatures coming from the West. "Guys I think I got something West." Ash said. Grumpig then remembered that Mike and his team were parked just West of the oasis and told the group. "Great we are heading West." Drake said as the group left. Meanwhile Grumpig stayed to care for his family.
"Alright,we're almost there." Said Mike as they saw the Jeep no more then ten feet away. But then the team sounds and talking not that far behind. "Crap,they're gain on us." Said Jason. Mike then thought about their little problem and knew they needed more time. "No...just for me." He said,surprising the other two. "Here,take this and the Jeep. Contact the Boss. I'll hold them off." Said Mike. "Are you sure?!" Jason said. "Trust me..you two need time and I'm gonna give it to you. Now go." Both nodded and took the briefcase and keys and head to the Jeep while Mike stayed behind along with his Gengar.
"Hurry they're this way!" The group said until they reached the clearing and saw what was Mike standing alone with his Gengar and a dust cloud that was created by his ride. "Where is your team going?" Drake asked. "Where they're going. You'll be too late." Mike said.
Suddenly a Psybeam rang past the group from behind,towards Mike and Gengar. Gengar reacted quickly by shooting a Dark Pulse to cancel the attack. The group looks to see Grumpig,and with a very angry look on his snout. "Grumpig hold on." Drake said. Grumpig didn't notice listen and charge in towards Mike. "Gengar,show this pig we mean business." Gengar then fired a Shadow Ball at the charging Grumpig,nailing him dead on in the chest,sending him backwards and knocking him out.
"Grumpig!" Drake yelled. "Pikachu,Electro Ball!" Pikachu then jumped off Ash's shoulder and charge up a ball of electricity. "Dodge and use Dark Pulse." Gengar then fazed forward to avoid the Electro Ball and then fired another Pulse of darkness at the exposed Pikachu,hurling him back with damage. "Pikachu!" Ash ran forward to to grab Pikachu as the group was speechless. Goomy,who was cradled by Bonnie,couldn't believe this was happening. A man..a bad man intended on going harm to his trainer and his friend.
"Ha,I can't believe how idiotic she was! Clearly I had no problem dealing with the two of you!" Mike laughed evilly. Ash could only look as Mike prepared to finish them off. "Now Gengar..FINISH THEM!" Mike ordered. "Nooo!" Serena cried fearing for Ash and Pikachu. Gengar then launched a full powered Dark Pulse intending on obliterating Ash and Pikachu as the latter braced for the impact.
But it never came. Ash opened his eyes to see what stopped the attack. But it was someone,in the form of a Soft Tissue Pokémon. "Goomy?" Ash saw that Goomy had jumped in to their rescue and used Bide to absorb the attack. However the Dark Pulse kept on coming and Goomy wasn't sure how much longer it could hold. "Come on Gengar,ram it!" Mike yelled. "Come on,Goomy I know you can do it!" Ash encouraged it. Goomy could only hold as it struggled,but the price if it failed. Goomy saw that people,his friends,his trainer were counting on him. In a last effort,Goomy cried and then began to glowed. The attack ceased as Goomy began to glowed in a bright blue color and Ash and the others knew what was happening. Goomy was evolving.
Goomy entered body got abit bigger,its horns extended,and its back swirled round similar to a snail's shell,it grew small stubby arms,and it grew from black dot eyes to slightly larger green eyes with no pupils. Ash then took out his Pokédex to scan it.
"Sliggoo,the Soft Tissue Pokémon,its four horns are a high-performance radar system. It uses them to sense sound and smells,rather then using its ears or nose.
"And it looks like you learn some new moves as well." Ash said. "Thats still doesn't make a difference. Gengar use Shadow Ball." Gergar then fired a ball of darkness aimed towards Sliggoo. "Use Bide." Sliggoo then stood firm and absorbed the attacked,and with enough juice Sliggoo glowed in a red outline. "Won't do you much good kid. You should know that Ghost types are immune to Normal attacks." Said Mike. "Thanks for the obvious. Sliggoo,fire at Gengar's feet." Sliggoo then fired a powerful blast that created smoke that blinded Gengar. "What do you have plan?!" Mike demanded. "You'll see,Sliggoo,use your radar system to find Gengar." Sliggoo then used its horns to track and hone in on Gengar's breathing and locked on.
"Now use Dragon Breath,full power!" Sliggoo then charged up and fired a devastating stream of purple fire that came at full speed and surprised Gengar. The result was a big explosion that engulfed Gengar and well the smoke dispersed,Gengar lied there fainted. "No!" Mike shouted. The group cheered that Goomy,now a Sliggoo won its first battle. But it still meant it wasn't over. "Hey,I'm not done with you yet!" Mike then took out his baton and charged at Ash and Sliggoo. Well prepared to a full swing,Mike swung his baton at the unsuspecting Ash,but it stop as Mike looked Drake caught his baton with his hand mid-swing.
"But now it's my turn." With that Drake released his grip and did a soft jab towards Mike's throat. Gasping for air,Mike nearly lost his balance but Drake had the moment he needed. A few punches to his face followed by a low kick to Mike's lower right leg caused him to fall to his left knee. There Drake took his left wrist,and another side kick to his left temple and held him in place by twirsting his wrist into where it dislocated.
"Agghh!" Mike scream in pain. "You punk! You dislocated my wrist." He cried. "You got another one. Now tell me." Drake hoisted him by his collar and held up in the air.
"WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR! WHAT WAS IT THAT YOU STOLE?!" He demanded. Mike continued to struggle until a sudden ringing was coming from his bag. If his hunch was right,he knew who is calling him. "Do..you mind...if I take this." Drake then pushed him off angrily as Mike used his only good hand to take out a table. Making sure the screen was turned away from Ash and the others. He answered the call and revealed on screen was his Boss.
"Mike...wow,someone just got dragged by the loom." The voice said overlooking the beaten grunt. "Sir...I can explain." "No,you had your orders! And because of you. This operation is now jeopardized." The voice argued. "Oh please like it even matters!" Mike said. "Yea..I suppose that's right...Drake...Ash...I know you're there." The voice called them,leaving the group in fear and the brothers hooked. "Who is that Mike? WHO!" Drake yelled.
"You heard the boy Mike...let me speak to them." The voice demanded. "Sir are you sure!" Mike questioned. "I know you're stupid enough not to follow orders,but whatever intelligence you have left use it,and pass them the damn tablet." Still skeptical and abit tinged about this. Mike followed what maybe his last orders and gave the brothers the tablet.
On visual the group couldn't see the person's face as it was covered by darkness,but from the neck down was some sort of dark outfit with a left metallic arm. Suddenly a red eye glowed right where an eye would be.
"*laughing* you both are bigger then I remember." The voice crackled. "But where I stand. I don't know you at all." Drake said. "Nice of you to say..but you of all people should know...I am unforgettable." The voice said. "Mike said you and your so-called soldiers are hunting us. I wanna know why?!" Drake asked. "Simple: You destroyed me,in turn I maniacal you in turn." The voice said. "We still don't know you!" Ash said. "Come on bozo brothers. Think!" The voice said.
Ash and Drake then thought long and hard but nothing came to mind about some sort of Shadow. Drake thought about its voice,something familiar about it. Something evil. "You two really have no idea...do you Ketchum." At last the voice stepped out of the Shadows and where everyone saw its face...or her face. But on Ash and Drake's expressions were left with absolute shock,surprised,and for the first time in a long time: Fear,absolute Fear.
"It-it-it can't be..it can't be." Ash and Drake began to breath raspy as they felt their voices leaveing them. "So...recognized me now?!" She said staring into their eyes.
"Hunter J." Drake said
At last it all made sense. From a few months ago the choice of target is something J would pick. The training and equipment,no doubt Drake knew where he seen that before. Heck even the uniforms Mike and his team were wearing,full grey combat gear,was the same one J's grunts worn in Sinnoh two years ago. And finally how Mike and his team know all about Drake and Ash,J must've brief her entire squad. But despite all this new reality,Ash and Drake were still left speechless.
"What's the matter...Loss for Words...can't say I'm alittle hurt." J said. "This is a trick. You're dead,you're dead. I saw you die with my own eyes!" Drake said,now remembering the last battle on board J's ship over Lake Valor.
"Well allow me to jog your memory. There was a lake,three mythical Pokémon,my ship and at the end...you left me to die!" J growled. Drake knew this wasn't a trick nor was it a nightmare. It was real...J survived.
"You'd be surprised,but no I never died. But the explosion did leave a parting a gift." J and stepped back and the group was left horrified by what was J entire body. While she had a cybernetic left arm,she also had a cybernetic right leg,but that wasn't the best part. Her entire right side of her head and face was cybernetic and replaced her right eye with a cybernetic red one that glowed. The remain left side had gashes that ran down her face and hair was shaven to a boy's cut. By Drake's estimate: at least sixty percent of J's body were replaced with cybernetics,at least of what he could see.
"Yea,I know...not a pretty sight. But hey,since my little resurrection I've never been a better Hunter. And I owe it all to you...Drake." J said,Drake was shaken by this. Even back then he'd remembered how he and J fought inside of a burning,sinking ship,and knew it won't end until one has fallen. But with an explosion cutting them out with J on the wrong side of the ship,Ash,Dawn,Brock,Looker,and Cynthia plead him to get off as the ship wasn't going to hold much longer. Through the flame he saw J was unconscious by the blast and tried to rescue her,but with the blaze growing larger followed by more explosions plus the pleads from his friends,Drake simply ran to the open breach on the hull of the ship and jumped off and landed in the lake. By the time he got ashore,the airship was already sinking and then followed by a big water explosion that put it out of it's misery. Since then that was the end of it and the end of J.
"But even things like that come full circle now. And so I will have my revenge...I will not rest until you...and you...are lying on the ground as I collect your heads." J vowed,leaving Clemont,Bonnie and Serena scared. "Where are you J? What did you have Mike and his team steal for you?" Drake asked. "Oh I am way closer then you think. And what's in the that briefcase...my fun...but just to be clear I fully..fully intend to kill you both,but first...I'm gonna enjoy making you suffer." J laughed,and causing anger to get the best of Drake and slam the tablet to ground. Shaddering it.
"AGHHHHHHHHH!" Drake roared to the heavens. At last another one of his mistakes and a piece of his past now comes back to haunt. And this time,he's not sure his Aura will save him this time. Ash saw and knew part of the blame was on him. He along with the others told Drake to leave J and save himself that day. Now because of this...no one will be safe.
On the side Mike was laughing,laughing at Drake,Ash,the whole group. "Ha,ha...you're in trouble now." Mike said threateningly. Drake,full of anger,hoisted him up again. "WHERE IS SHE!" He asked. "*choking* where..do you think...is the only place...we would be right now." Mike said. Drake then thought and knew there was only one place close to here.
"The Power Plant." Drake said. "Ding...and just like Ding...your time is up...Ketchum." Mike said causing Drake to roar and slam his head against the ground,knocking him out. The group was horrified,they never saw Drake get this mad before. "I'm sorry Guys...we gotta get to that Power Plant." Drake said. "I agree,but explain to us who or what was that woman?" Clemont asked. Neither Ketchum said anything until Ash broke the silence.
"She's a Pokémon Hunter,but unlike any Hunter...she's the best of the best. Until we stopped her in Sinnoh two and half years ago." Ash said. "She's that good?" Serena asked. Drake then thought about that comment. Unlike Giovanni,who was a more methodical and psychological mastermind,J was a brilliant tactician and seasoned close quarters combatant,the most deadliest person Drake ever fought,no one ever came close to that since. Her skills were on par with his and possibly over. But compared to his younger,less experienced self,he was now trained and an Aura Guardian,but now J has reinforced cybernetics,evening up the score. Now,this was a whole new game by itself.
"If we could stop her now. We can finish this." Drake said. "By ourselves? Drake come on?! It was bad enough two years ago,now she's..an insane cyborg psychopath,who made it pretty clear what she wants to do to us." Ash said. "Regardless,she's gonna come after us. So we stop her before she gets the chance to." Drake said. "We can't do this alone." Ash said. "We may not be alone. Hear let me call someone." Drake turn to his Pokewatch which then sudden began ringing. He then picked up and saw that it was Rene.
"Rene...I was just about to call you." Drake said. "Drake,thank Arceus you answer. We have a situation at the Kalos Power Plant. Someone took siege of the entire place and brought a lot of muscle. We don't know who we're dealing with." Said Rene. "I...was just about to tell you the same thing." Drake said. "Well where are you." Rene asked. "We're at an oasis in the Badlands...about six miles West." Drake said. "Good,how fast can you get here?" Rene asked. "Maybe forty minutes at most." Drake Said. "Well make that thirty minutes okay? I'll see you when you get here." Rene said then hung up.
"Well,we got our backup." Ash said. "Now we just need to get there." Clemont said. "Hang on,what about him?" Serena pointed to the unconscious Mike. "Well obviously we can't leave him here." Drake got down and hoist him over his left shoulder. "Alright,let's get going." Drake said until a cry stopped the group. Behind them was Grumpig and his family of Spoink. "Don't worry...we'll make sure nothing like this ever happens to anyone again." Drake said.
As the group disembark. Who knows what will await them there. But one things for certain...they're weren't ready as J's plan is now been put into motion as the Journey continues.
DONE!
Boom! So guys,how do you like that for a surprise? Now everything has come to place as we know now the figure is now identified as Hunter J AKA the Ghost who's now bend on Vengeance. By then to those who found those small clues hidden in some chapters of previous chapters,but didn't know what they meant...well this is what it meant. The Devil was only in the smallest detail as it was only so discrete,that's why I couldn't use words like "She" or "Madam" to describe J as those are too big a breadcrumbs that it'll just spoil the whole game,not just for me but for you guys too.
In my next set of notes. I'll explain the clues I've hidden in a certain chapter for you guys to have closure. But the only thing still unrevealed is J's plan and I could guarantee you,my fellow readers, this is going to get worse before it gets better.
So to those who think I'm some sort of sneaky freak,or any other thing meant to be an insult. I'll be honest...I will have deserve those insults,and I'll wear them proud...because like I said a while back...as of this point...I have no regrets. And I'm not gonna give up on you guys.
So like,comment,thanks for reading,this is Paradox signing off. Goodbye.
