oOo
Missy looked over the many pokemon listed. There where a wide variety of species living in the region. She skimmed through birds and fairy types. She looked over the vast combee colonies. She was intrigued by the amount of pokemon that traveled in hordes. Most of them would do her no good in a battle of this scale. An insect had caught her attention.
Vivillon
The final form of scatterbug. This pokemon is best known for it's twenty elegant wing patterns. Vivillon are often found migrating in herds. When the pokemon sense a threat the group will attack a foe. They have been known to be vicious while raising their offspring. During the spring vivillon are commonly found in Santalune Forest of the Kalos Region.
Missy turned from the archive. "Are you ready for some quick time travel?"
Giovanni shrugged. " What do you have in mind?"
She gave him a mischievous look. " I was thinking butterflies."
" Butterflies?" Giovanni raised a brow.
She shook her head before correcting herself, " Wrong world, what we need here are vivillon."
He gave a nod as he walked to the door. " I wonder what goes through that immense mind of yours."
" Lot's of things." Missy made her way to the door. " I'm full of ideas."
She pushed it open. A rush of cold air blew in from the outside. The kricketune had quieted. The pokemon of the night had settled. Giovanni slowly walked to the door.
" I just thought you'd use the combee again," he said.
As they stepped out of the tardis Missy transformed it back into a black ball. She placed it into her jacket. Her fingers gracefully tapped in the coordinates for the forest.
Giovanni took her side. He placed his hand on her shoulder.
" That wouldn't be very effective for this fight, too many targets. I don't have that kind of control," Missy replied.
She pressed the travel button. The sun began to rise in the west and set in the east. The days passed in rapid succession. Autumn turned to summer. The season faded to spring. The vivid colors faded as the buds of the trees closed and receded. Four years passed before they arrived at their final location.
The sunlight streamed through the budding leaves on the trees. The forest floor was filled with violets. The flowers towered over the waking grass. A pansear and a pikachu chased one another up a tree. A vivillon soared up into the canopy. Caterpie and weedle clung to the trees. On the ground, two scatterbug crawled and rolled playfully.
Missy snatched vespiquen's ball. When she released vespiquen the queen bee elegantly took flight.
She looked around the forest eying the pokemon. " Vespiquen use sweet scent."
The pokemon cried out as she flapped her wings. The wonderful scent of honey filled the area. Soon pokemon begin to circle Missy and Giovanni. Missy peered over the forest floor. She noticed more scatterbug crawling to them. A Butterfree flew into the limbs of the trees.
" Vespiquen use attack order."
Small insects filled the forest attacking the surrounding pokemon. They squirmed and struggled as they attempted to fight back. It didn't take long for the pokemon to tire.
She looked in her bag she still had eleven luxury balls left. She scanned the closet five pokemon checking their genders. There were three girls and two boys. They were perfect for the job.
The pokeballs shook and rocked. It wasn't long before the pokemon succumb to capture. The tardis promptly teleported the pokemon to the poke box. Giovanni seemed content watching this. He seemed to be amused by the processes.
" Where are you going with this?" he asked as she approached.
Missy punched in a new set of coordinates. " You'll see."
She offered him her hand he took it. They arrived outside of what would someday be the village of Geosenge, April 07, 1010 A.D. Missy and Giovanni arrive near the base of a cliff. Tall oak trees shaded the bed of the forest. Below them was a field of violets. A few combee fluttered above the wildflowers. A staraptor shrieked as it soared overhead.
Missy took the tardis from her pocket. She gently set it on the ground. The ball turned white as it transformed into a massive oak tree. Missy located the door on the other side. She pushed it open and stepped in.
Missy walked over to the poke box located in the main counsel. She switched all of her pokemon with the exception of ninetails. It took her a few moments to level all of them to one hundred. Missy team was Ninetails, Vivillon, Vivillon, Vivillon, Vivillon, and Vivillon.
There was something else she needed. The pokemon would have to respond to a threat. She looked over the screen. She began to search her tardis storage for something that would be helpful.
The screen became blue as it searched. After a moment a radio transmitter was listed. The transmitters location was storage room thirty-one on the fifth shelf box one hundred and eight.
Missy focused on the device. After a moment she successfully teleported it to the control room. She picked up the small silver box. Her screwdriver screeched as she opened the back panel. She removed the broadcasting chip. She pointed her screwdriver at it and made an open channel. She reprogrammed the chip to transmit the cries of a horde of braviary.
She placed it back inside and checked the battery. It would hold for at least ten years. She felt satisfied with the work she had done. Missy put the transmitter back together. She smirked as she placed the device in her pocket.
She glanced over to Giovanni. He had leaned against the railing. His eyes were fixated on his cell phone.
" Ready to go?" Missy asked.
His eyes jolted up. He clicked off the phone and placed it back into his pocket. " Yes."
Together they left the tardis. Missy summoned her vivillon. The pokemon hovered before her. They looked at each other before they gave her their attention.
" My marvelous vivillon. I want you to fill the forest with your own kind."
The vivillon looked at each other again and then to her. Missy got the impression they didn't understand her orders. Ninetails approached the group of fluttering butterflies. She turned her head and looked back to Missy.
Really ninetails! You don't have to do this to satisfy him, Missy said as she gestured to the butterflies.
It might be better this way, Mistress, ninetails replied.
Missy looked on and gestured to the fox. " Ninetails perhaps they'll listen to you."
The fox nodded. Ninetails began to yelp and bark as she spoke to the pokemon. She paused as they squeaked. The butterflies looked to one another and then back to ninetails. The fox began to yelp again.
It was cute, Missy wondered what they were saying to one another. She wouldn't dare to turn on the pokemon language. She had seen one too many talking butterflies in her lifetime.
The vivillon looked at each other once more. They fluttered around one another. It was almost like they were dancing with each other. They giggled as they flew into the forest. Ninetails walked up to her side.
That was an interesting conversation Mistress, the fox said.
Missy smirked as she called out, " have fun kids!"
Giovanni and persian both seemed to be bewitched. They gazed on as the vivillon fluttered deeper into the forest.
Missy huffed. " It's not like we're going to watch."
Giovanni nodded he took his attention away from the insects. He looked over the base of the cliff. A few combee hovered over the flowers of the prairie.
" How do you expect to command their kids?"
Missy took the radio transmitter from her pocket. " With this."
She placed the transmitter back into her pocket. She then set the vortex manipulator to teleport them into the prairie. She offered him her hand. He took it, in a flash of white light they traveled. In an instant, they arrived in the grass of the prairie.
Missy released his hand. She walked over to a small clearing. She scoured the ground searching for an available hole. An eevee popped its head out of a burrow. The pokemon cocked its head as it looked at the group. It playful cried out as it dashed into the tall grass.
Missy shrugged it would due. She knelt down and dropped the transmitter into the hole. Ninetails took her side. She nudged more dirt into the opening. She turned and kicked more soil into the hole. It didn't take the pokemon long to cover the hole.
She walked up to Giovanni. " Ready for the battle at the pass?"
Persian rubbed against his leg before sitting at his side. " I think we're ready."
He looks way to content with this Mistress, Ninetails said as she took Missy's side.
The cat belongs to a warlord ninetails. It doesn't surprise me, Missy replied.
Recalling the map she had a good idea where Alexander might be. After a few quick calculations, she punched in the coordinates for the pass. She offered Giovanni her hand. He readily took it. With a press of a button time zipped by.
Missy and Giovanni arrived on the high cliffs above the pass. The dull sunlight of a rainy afternoon doused the flash of their arrival. A bone-chilling wind swept over the area. The sounds of shouting caused Missy to turn her attention to the pass. She and Giovanni walked over to the edge. Together they observed the battle.
Alexander drew back his bow. He held the arrow steady as he aimed at a heracross. The pokemon snarled at him. A graveler stood next to the massive insect. The pokemon lurched forward as it leaped up. A soldier with a sword drawn charged next to Alexander. He parlayed the attack with his sword.
Alexander grunted as he shot at the heracross. The bettle dodged to the left avoiding the arrow. The pokemon charged at him. He ducked and rolled to the right. The pokemon growled as it turned to face him.
Another soldier ran in an attempt to distract the beast. The pokemon snarled as its horn began to glow white. A different soldier drew an arrow from his quill. He pulled his bowstring back and took aim. He successfully shot the pokemon in the chest. Graveler roared as heracross fell to the ground. Giovanni shook his head as he watched the fight.
" Can we get down there and put an end to this barbarism," Giovanni dryly said.
He held out his hand. Missy nodded as she took it. With a press of a button, they arrived in the pass below.
Giovanni pointed at the graveler. " Persian power gem!"
Persian shrieked as he leaped in front of Giovanni. A brilliant red beam shot from the cat's forehead. Graveler roared as the attack struck it. The pokemon was thrown into the cliff side. Graveler groaned as it collapsed into the earth.
Alexander and the rest of his men gazed at the sight. From what Missy could tell they seemed to be disenchanted. Alexander looked on blankly. It took him a moment to regain his composure.
" Warlord of the Rose and The Mistress." He approached them. " It's good to see you again, when did you arrive?"
Missy grinned. " When we're needed of course."
" You couldn't have arrived at a better moment. Forgive me Mistress but my eyes do not deceive me a moment ago it was only I and my men in this pass."
Missy flinched, Alexanders observations were accurate. Telling him any sort of bluff would prove to be difficult. Then again she was The Champion of Arceus.
" Alexander I thought you knew the stories about me," Missy proclaimed.
He bit his lip as she looked at him. She placed her hand on her hip, " It would appear my legend is not as great as I had hoped. Arceus has sent me to assure your victory." Missy explained as she took his side.
Alexanders eyes widened. " You're in an alliance with the Gods! Mistress your legend only continues to grow." He smiled, " This battle will make you forever a part of our history."
" Books," Giovanni muttered as he took her side.
" The legend of the Mistress shall live on through the ages," Giovanni said. He gestured to the path ahead. " Now to the matter at hand."
Alexander smiled with pride. " The days to come will be a part of history forever." He turned to his men. " Knights of the Golden Dawn, move out!"
On his command, the army walked forward. Missy, Giovanni, and Alexander lead the way through the pass. Missy drew her screwdriver, she concealed it in her cloak. She scanned the area ahead. There was no alien technology to be found. Now all she had to worry about was the possibility of a skirmish.
She fished around in her bag. She thumbed her pokeballs. She needed a scout. She decided to send the vacant balls back to the tardis. She focused on the pokebox and traded the vacant vivillon balls for her party. The pokeballs turned white as they teleported to the tardis. The switch was effective, she took pidgeot's ball and placed it in her hand.
" Let's see what's ahead." Missy tossed the ball into the sky.
The bird flapped its wings as it shrieked. The men in the party halted. There was a clatter as they reached for their weapons. Missy turned and threw her arm out.
" No that pokemon belongs to me," Missy said as she turned away.
She beckoned pidgeot down. The bird squawked as it gracefully landed before her.
Alexander turned and eyed the bird. " Arceus has blessed you with the gift of pokemon. I envy you, Mistress and Warlord."
Missy smiled as she caressed the bird's chest. " Pidgeot fly to the end of the pass. Should you see another group like ours bring a stick back when you return. "
The bird nodded at the group. The pokemon turned and took a few steps forward. The pidgeot flapped its wings as it took off. Pidgeot was a fast flyer. The bird soared above the cliffs. The pokemon seemed to vanish as it flew far ahead.
" That will be a gift for your children and future generations. Pokemon will serve man in the coming years." Giovanni explained as he looked up to the cliffs.
Alexander nodded at the notion. " It's good to know our children won't have to face these trials."
He motioned for his army to continue. Together they made their way deeper into the pass. Missy rushed to Giovanni's side.
" You really shouldn't tell him about the future," she whispered.
Giovanni glanced over and shrugged. " I didn't say too much. Just letting him know it's not always going to be like this." He looked ahead. " Just a few words of encouragement."
Missy rolled her eyes at this. The last thing she needed right now was him making a massive change to history. She pondered it over some more. There were already enough people here making a mess of the timeline. With Lysandre's goal of world destruction, she doubted he would do something that foolish.
Mistress, pokemon are supposed to be friends with humans, not servants, Ninetails said.
Missy glanced down at the fox. Ninetails seemed to be upset. She looked back to the group. No one was paying any attention to them. The weary looks of concern throughout the party reassured her no one was.
The entire time I've been here I've seen it as a relationship of servitude and friendship. You help me and I take care of you, Missy replied she glanced at ninetails.
The fox didn't seem to be convinced by her wisdom.
Missy looked ahead as she carried on, Ninetails we've been helping each other out all while going on this incredible adventure together. Isn't that what friendships about?
It is... Mistress, Ninetails replied.
They walked a few steps behind Giovanni and persian. The pair kept nearly in perfect stride with one another. The cat was a step ahead of him. Persian was very protective of him.
Look at those two, you said it yourself persian is his friend. I think it's just his perspective on things, Missy explained.
A few stones clattered as they toppled down the cliff side. Alexander motioned for the group to halt. Pidgeot stealthy soared into the cannon. The bird held a stick in its beak. The pokemon glided down landing a few feet away from the group. Pidgeot squawked at it dropped the stick to the ground.
Giovanni looked at the bird. " What is it saying?"
Missy gasped at the notion." I don't speak pokemon."
Giovanni crossed his arms. " I know you can link with minds."
Missy shook her head. " No, I can send over my experiences and meld with minds if they choose to allow it."
" Mistress, you've never tried your abilities on pokemon. They are our greatest advantage in this." Missy glared at him.
Giovanni peered back. " Missy, don't be like that. After all, we are fighting in this together." He approached her as he broadly showcased pidgeot. " With your power and my resources we've been unstoppable."
He made a good point, they needed to know what they were heading into. Missy looked at the bird and grimaced. She approached pidgeot and placed her hand on the pokemon's forehead.
She gazed into pidgeot's eye's and focused on the pokemon's intent. The images that came back were vague. She saw a beach and the ocean. There were many vague figures that she couldn't make out. She growled she wasn't just going to let him take that kind of control.
" Pidgeot doesn't have a strong enough thought train for me to focus in on. I think it wants to show us."
" Show us?" Giovanni asked hesitantly.
" Yes, show us." Missy readied hydreigon's ball. " I think we should fly out there and see what's going on for ourselves."
The party slowed as they watched. Alexander charged through the ranks.
Giovanni gawked at the notion. " You can't be serious, fly on the pidgeot. I would never."
Missy glanced around. They had a small audience of soldiers. She walked over to the pokemon. She smiled as she caressed the birds flank.
She released the bird from her grasp. " The warlord of the rose refuses to fly on the mighty wings of a pidgeot." She put her hand on her forehead as she took a dramatic tone. " I thought The Warlord of the Rose was fearless."
Their audience had grown significantly. The party murmured as they spoke amongst themselves. Missy slyly smiled at him. The look of anger in Giovanni's eyes was not one to be taken lightly. Persian rubbed against his leg but he ignored the cat. He took a breath and stepped forward.
" I am, but you're asking me to fly on a flimsy bird."
" Pidgeot's not flimsy. This pokemon has never failed me in flight." Her smile gleamed. " We made a deal Warlord."
Giovanni looked over to the party and huffed. He took her sided and muttered, " I never agreed to travel on a pokemon."
Missy snatched hydreigon's ball. " If you want to be a time traveler you have to play the role. You can lie all you like but if you can't act the part it's useless." Missy said as she recalled ninetails.
Hydreigon stepped up to Missy. The pokemon's lip curled into a smile as she caressed its neck. The dragon and bird glanced at one another. They prepared to fly them into the cannon. Alexander looked down the pass. An opening could be seen far in the distance.
He looked back at them. " We will meet you at the end of the pass."
Missy nodded as she mounted hydreigon. She pinched her skirt smoothing it out as she gracefully sat on the dragons back.
Giovanni glowered at pidgeot. The bird nudged his head as it eyed Giovanni. Pidgeot cooed as it motioned for him to get on. He let out a long drawn sigh as he recalled persian. He cursed under his breath before he got on.
He took the proper flying stance. Missy glanced over at him he seemed very uneasy. Perhaps all he needed was some reassurance.
" Pidgeot you will listen to him," Missy commanded. The bird cooed and nodded. " Let's go kids."
On her whim, they took off. The bird and dragon flapped their wings as they soared deeper into the pass. They rise above the cliffs. In the distance, the azure waters of the ocean endlessly stretched into the horizon. The pokemon glided over the jagged terrain below.
Missy glanced over to Giovanni. He held onto the pidgeot very tightly as he peered ahead. She reared hydreigon to the left. The dragon soared over the base of the cliff. Below them were the sandy shores of a beach. The waves crashed against the rocks. She had the dragon circle as she continued her search.
Near the end of the pass, she spotted a small group of soldiers dressed in brown armor. They held a red banner with a flame emblem. Their swords were drawn they hid on the blindside of the pass entrance. She leaned next to the pokemon's ear.
" Let's hover around for a minute," Missy whispered.
The pokemon halted at her whim. The dragon flapped it's wings up as it hovered. She looked over the party. There were fifteen of them. Their swords and shields would be a major combat issue for Alexander and his men. They were easy targets for her.
" I think I can take them out," Missy said as she peered over the party.
Giovanni looked over the group. " I'm sure you're more than capable of doing so. What's your plan?"
" I'm going to jump down, hydreigon will take to the sky. Emolga will join me on the field. Together we'll strike them down." Missy explained.
Pidgeot and hydreigon swooped down the edge of the cliff. The pokemon roared and shrieked as they flew into battle. The group of soldiers immediately turned their attention to them. They charged at the pokemon ready to strike.
Missy took her screwdriver from its holster. She aimed at the nearest soldier and shot him in the chest. The second closets stopped and stared at his fallen comrade. He cried out in anger as he charged at Missy.
She let out a laugh as she shot his shoulder. " Common boys, this will be fun."
He dropped to the sand. An opposing soldier looked at her with disgust. Missy snatched emolga's ball and released the pokemon. The flying mouse looked at approaching men and squeaked. The pokemon's body sparked with electricity.
Missy took her umbrella from her cloak. She hopped off hydreigon and opened it. While she gently descended to the earth she took aim at another soldier. Giovanni had pidgeot circle her. Together they landed on the sandy shores.
Missy took aim at the closest opponent. She shot him in the chest. He keeled over as he fell to the sand. They were getting closer. She opened her umbrella and braced herself. Emolga flew up and squeaked. Small bolts of lightning emitted from the pokemon's body.
" Thunder!"
Emolga unleashed a golden bolt of lighting at the umbrella. The attack struck the tip of her umbrella. The lightning scattered striking down more men. She aimed her screwdriver at the back of a retreating soldier. Missy smirked as she shot him. The assailants that had been struck by lightning were getting back up.
Their numbers were now less than ten. Giovanni took a pokeball from his jacket. He opened the ball in his hand, Nidoking charged out.
He pointed to what remained of the party. " Sandstorm."
The pokemon roared as it unleashed its attack. The sands of the beach swirled in an unrelenting vortex.
He looked to pidgeot, the bird nodded before it took flight. " Pidgeot use whirlwind."
Pidgeot squawked as it flew over the sandstorm. The bird violently flapped its wings creating a whirlwind. The men trapped inside began to groan and cough as the storm intensified. Missy took Giovanni's side.
Together they watched their enemy's struggle. She imagined they had a difficult time breathing. They coughed and hacked as the sands pummeled them. It's not long before the soldiers submitted to the storm. One by one they collapsed in the sand.
" Enough!" he commanded.
Pigeot and nidoking ceased their attacks. Giovanni recalled nidoking. He placed the pokeball back into his jacket. Pidgeot swooped down and landed next to him.
" Nice moves." Giovanni nodded he had a pleasant look of satisfaction. " We should go inform the others."
Missy nodded she beckoned hydreigon down. The sound of many men running caught her attention. Alexander charged out the opening to the pass. A few more men took his lead. He looked at the carnage than to Missy and Giovanni. His smile beamed as he approached.
" Mistress, Warlord we came to assist." He stepped over a fallen soldier. " Your power could be compared to a God."
" Just a mere skirmish, not much of a problem for us," Missy explained.
Alexander nodded in approval. More men were exiting the pass.
Alexander looked down the pass. " A triumphant victory, we shall march forward. We attack the weapon at dawn."
The pair nodded at this. Missy recalled her pokemon, she placed their balls into her bag. She set the vortex manipulator for 5:35 am the next day. They would arrive on the cliffs of the battle.
" Arceus calls, see you there," Missy said as she offered Giovanni her hand.
They arrived in a lush green forest at the base of a cliff. The shadows of many tents were highlighted by the twilight. Fields of violets stretched beyond the camp.
In a large clearing, the weapon stood. The emerald crystal it was composed of shimmered in the dawn. It's long carved crystal walls reached into the sky. The weapon reminded her of a closed flower.
Missy took the tardis from her pocket as she trudged into the forest. She placed it on the ground. The pokeball glows white as it transformed into a large crystal. She and Giovanni stepped inside.
Missy walked over to the main counsel. She swapped all of her pokemon for vivillon except for ninetails. She leaned her umbrella on the railing as she exited. Giovanni was barely inside when she walked past him. She paraded outside and released ninetails from her ball.
Mistress. The fox looked around. Oh, we're back to this again.
Yes, in a moment I might need your help, Missy replied as she drew her screwdriver.
Her screwdriver hummed as it summoned the vivillon. Giovanni watched as the pokemon slowly fluttered over to them. They seemed dazed and a bit surprised to see their master. A vivillon flew up to ninetails and chirped. Ninetails cocked her head in response.
Mistress, they're upset that you woke them up. she explained.
After a few more minutes they were surrounded by five colorful butterfly pokemon. They groggily fluttered before them. In the background, more vivillon flew. Their eyes twinkled as they observed her. To spite their curiosity they were keeping their distance.
Missy opened her arms in praise. " My children you've done incredibly well."
The pokemon began to dance fluttering around one another. Missy waved her screwdriver scanning the pokemon. Her screwdriver informed her that the pokemon were battle ready.
They had learned moves that would be detrimental in the battle. The pokemon knew different moves sets all had stun powder or sleep powder in their move sets. It was perfect, they would perform the task perfectly.
" Common kids, we've got some work to do." She gestured for the pokemon to follow her.
Missy walked over to the base of the cliff. She observed the activity below. There were a few men at their post. From what she could tell the camp was mostly still asleep.
" In a moment, you're going to fly over the cliff. When you reach their camp use sleep powder or stun spore on the enemy."
The pokemon turned to each other than to Missy. Ninetails walked over to the pokemon. Through a series of yelps and squeals, she spoke with them. The butterflies chirped and nodded with on another. The vivillon flew to opposite sides of Missy. Giovanni took her side he gazed on.
" This is how we take out a cohort." Missy pointed at the camp. " Go!"
The vivillon took flight. They soared over the camp releasing blue and yellow streams of powder. Missy's screwdriver screeched as she activated the braviary horde. Screeches of eagles shirked through the area. The vivillon of the forest began to fly out.
The flapping of frantic wings completely disrupted what remained of the peace. Vivillon with wings of every color took to the sky. They swooped over the tents as they followed their parents. They took their lead releasing sleepy blue powder and a paralyzing yellow mist. The air below was a vile green mixture.
A watchman attempted to blow a battle horn. Missy spied him he was close to six hundred feet away. She attempted to shoot at him but she missed. He was startled by the attack he fell to the ground. He grabbed the horn and blew it.
Soldiers started to prepare for a fight. They quickly fell into submission. A few men crawled out of the tents. They collapsed to the earth as they breathed more of the powder. The camp was littered with the sleeping and stunned. A few attempted to use their weapons while covering their mouths. The instant they tried to attack the powder overtook them.
Once they've covered the entire camp the vivillon turned around. They unleash a second wave of sleep powder and stun spore as they flew over. Their children flew above their parents. They chirped to one another as they flew above. Not long after the pokemon ceased their attack.
Missy smiled in delight. She had taken out her enemies with the greatest of ease. She glanced over to Giovanni. He watched on in awe.
" The Battle of the Vivillion," he slowly said.
He put his hands in his pockets as he watched the butterflies soar above them. Their wings fluttered they flew overhead.
Missy raised a brow. " This is recorded in your history as well?"
" It's a part of your legend."
Missy thumbed her chin, she wondered could she have done things differently. Maybe her timeline wasn't written in stone. Here was knowing all along how this was going to play out. Then again time can be re-written. That was too much to ponder over.
Her pokemon had a look of achievement. They fluttered with one another as they playfully chased after their children. Missy looked over the camp. The sun was slowly creeping above the horizon.
Missy teleported the vivillon inside the tardis. She gazed at the crystal for a moment before she found the door. She paraded inside as she made her way to the poke box. She swapped her team once more. Missy team was now Ninetails, Hydreigon, Emolga, Charizard, Vespiquen, and Absol.
Missy glanced back Giovanni hadn't bothered to follow her. She promptly teleported out and transformed her tardis into a pokeball. She placed the tardis into her pocket. As she approached she set the coordinates for their next encounter.
She walked over to Giovanni and offered him her hand. He took it, ninetails and persian leaned into their master's legs. Missy pressed the teleport button.
In a brilliant flash of light, they arrived close to the entrance of the weapon. Missy and Giovanni gazed up at the crystal tower before them. There was a cracked door at the base of the weapon. Bright flashes of blue light emitted from inside. Missy and Giovanni released each other. The sound of running steps caused them to turn.
" Thank the Gods and the Mistress!" Alexander called out to them as he ran over. He stopped feet away from them.
Missy tisked as she placed a hand on her hip. " Thank the Gods, you should thank the pokemon. "
Alexandre looked as though he had an epiphany. " If that is Arceus will."
For a moment Missy could have sworn her hearts skipped a beat. She dismissed the notion. If it hadn't been her someone else would have said it. Probably a later date, She recalled the congregation at Brass Tower. No, this was not her idea.
" In a moment the Warlord and I will be entering the weapon-" the sound of a door being thrust open stopped her.
She turned to face a tall man with dark brown hair. He was dressed in royal blue robes. His black eyes looked over the camp. They slowly began to narrow at her group.
" Lysandre!" he bellowed.
Missy and Giovanni both drew a pokeball and waited. Lysandre and Malva ran out the door. Both were dressed in the red robes of royalty. Lysandre's eye's widened as he looked at the camp. The focus of his attention soon changed. He eyed persian, then ninetails, and then the pokeballs. Lysandre reached out to them.
" Time travelers?" He twisted his beard as he peered at them. " Are you time travelers?"
Missy and Giovanni glanced at one another. Giovanni raised a brow his eye's darted over to them. He seemed confused. Missy took a step closer to him.
" He doesn't know who we are, I think this is his first encounter with us," she whispered.
" How, we've been running into each other almost daily," Giovanni whispered back.
" Not in the correct order," Missy whispered. She took a step back.
Giovanni crossed his arm's. " Time travelers, what kind of royalty believes in such myths?"
Lysandre and Malva scoffed at this. Lysandre put his hand in his pocket and drew a pokeball. He peered at the pair as he showed them the pokeball.
" I don't believe in such myths, I live them every day. Who are you, travelers?"
