"Chapter 8-Allegiances"
Alpha landed at the peak of Mt. Silver. He could sense they were converging on this point. He wasn't surprised that they sensed his return. Alpha wondered if they had switched sides as well. He figured they might have, but he was well prepared for that.
"They should be here any second," Alpha said.
The loud, shrill cry of a Pokémon echoed to the west of Alpha. He heard two distinct cries from the clouds almost directly above him.
"Right on time," he said. He looked up to see a long, green dragon Pokémon and a rainbow-colored bird Pokémon descending from the sky. Incoming from the south was a large, silver-winged Pokémon, which rose higher into the sky to take its place besides the other two.
"Ho-oh, Lugia, and Rayquaza," Alpha said. "Welcome, my generals."
"Silence, Alpha," Rayquaza said. "We are no longer part of your army."
"We are the protectors of this planet," Lugia spoke telepathically.
"We shall not let your evil contaminate this peaceful world," Ho-oh said.
"I see you've become soft-hearted just like all the other weak Pokémon I sent here," Alpha said, shaking his head in disappointment.
"You're wrong," said Rayquaza. "We've learned there is more to life than fighting here. This is a beautiful planet, and we have chosen to live here in peace and protect all the other Pokémon who share this Earth."
"We will defend this planet and all its inhabitants to the death," Lugia spoke.
"There's no need for that," Alpha said. "I've come to you in peace, with an offer to return to your former positions. I suggest you accept."
"Never," Ho-oh said.
"You three always were the stubborn ones, always wanting to do things the hard way. Your choice."
Alpha summoned three black spheres of dark energy above him. He launched them at the three Legendary Pokémon, but they quickly flew out of the way. Alpha rose into the air to meet them head-on. Lugia launched an Aero Blast attack at Alpha, but he simply deflected it away with his hand.
"You're strong," Alpha said. "I should know, I did create you. But you are not stronger than I am. It's useless to resist."
With lightning speed, Alpha teleported himself right behind Lugia, grabbing it violently by the neck.
"Now let's see how tough you are," said Alpha wickedly as he dug his nails into Lugia's thick skin, infecting him with dark energy. Rayquaza flew right at Alpha in an attempt to save Lugia, but Alpha merely pointed his staff at Rayquaza and zapped it with a dose of more dark energy. Both Lugia and Rayquaza were now under Alpha's control.
"Give up, Ho-oh," Alpha said. "Spare yourself the pain. Give in like your friends."
"I will never again be your servant," Ho-oh said.
"Wrong answer!" Alpha said, before disappearing. Ho-oh looked around frantically, wondering where Alpha went. He appeared overtop of Ho-oh, smashing the Legendary Bird in the head with his staff. Alpha then turned his staff on Ho-oh, giving it a large blast of dark energy. Ho-oh struggled to resist but it was impossible. It was now Alpha's. They all were.
"Welcome back, my generals," Alpha said. "I've missed you ever so much."
"How may we serve you?" all three Pokémon said in unison.
"Patience, my friends," said Alpha, "Patience. There is a battle ahead. I can sense it. Those children are strong. Not strong enough, though. They will fall. We shall exact our revenge on them, and that traitor Raitorb, first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Master," they said.
"Get some rest," Alpha ordered.
"Understood," they said, descending to the ground to retire. Alpha himself descended to the peak of Mt. Silver, where he sat down and meditated.
"Prepare yourself, humans," Alpha thought to himself. "Tomorrow, the Pokémon will rise up against you. Rise up against their oppressors. Tomorrow, destiny is at hand."
