The Dragon Homeland
Chapter 4
"Come on! I'm not missing the opening ceremony! Lorelei and Abby are there!"
"We still have plenty of time, Misty"
The former Cerulean Gym Leader huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. "Well I want to get a seat at the front, Brock."
"The things we've done I'm sure they'll even let us in the Plateau." Brock reassured. "I mean all the legendaries we've seen and we aren't even aligned with one. We've even met all the members of the Elite Four on more than one occasion – they'll know us."
"Well I'm finally going to beat the League and get the Champions place, right Pikachu?" The yellow mouse Pokemon squealed and held thumbs up at Ash. "Then it's off to be a Pokemon Master!" Ash shouted and thrust his arm forward.
"Honestly, Ash…" Misty sighed and loosened her grip on Togepi.
"To the Plateau!" Ash shouted again and began running for the tall circular building stood off in the distance, Brock following shortly after.
Misty looked around herself. "We've just got out of Victory road and he still has too much energy." She muttered and ran after her two companions.
The elderly Ghost Master shuffled into the League president's office without knocking. "So, do you have your speech Mr Jayshow?
"Of course, Agatha." The stumpy man replied offhandedly as if he didn't care. "All the preparations are ready."
"You do not seem too pleased."
Jayshow slumped down in his seat. "Of course I'm not happy. How am I going to outdo the Hoenn League when all their blasted trainers keep coming over here." He slammed his fist on his desk. "Why can't they stay in their own damn country!"
Agatha held her shocked expression before quickly dropping it in favour of a disappointed one. "Now that is not very hospitable of you."
"Bloody newbies can't stay in their own worthless League? Not to mention this Steven fella bringing his brood, god! This place'll be going to pot soon, just you watch!"
"Now, Mr Stone is a very pleasant man and his daughters are always a delight." The ex-Elite defended her friend. "I just believe you are being racist on the matter. Do you remember what the Prime Minister said? One more strike and you will be fired and replaced with either myself, Mr Anson or Miss Blake."
"Oh, enough of that. I am not offensive in any way to any people." The Indigo president muttered. "The opening ceremony'll be on soon, have to give the pathetic trainers their feed."
Agatha barely bat an eyelid after that remark. President Jayshow had always been a bitter short man, though no one could actually figure out why. He was one of the most powerful people in Kanto and Johto combined short of the Prime Minister. He had a large salary and since he had held his position for twenty odd years he'd saved up a mighty amount of income. It was probably just in his nature or something to that extent anyway.
"I assume everyone is here?" He asked with mild interest while waddling down the twisted halls of Indigo HQ.
Agatha shook her head behind his back. Honestly, if he wanted to keep the quality of the Indigo League the milestone ahead of the Ever Grande League he'd have to show more interest and not just complain about it later. It was really frustrating on her account since she'd been a member of the League longer than anyone had.
"Yes, we are all waiting for your speech and the firework display. The challengers have been seated in the courtyard. Everything is ready for you." She was seventy-three and shouldn't be feeding his already inflated ego.
"Good. I want this to be perfect!" And with that the Indigo League President had waddled around the corner in all the five-feet glory he could muster, much to Agatha's amusement.
The atmosphere around the Plateau and Indigo City was a perfect example of joy and excitement. Hundreds of hopeful trainers, breeders and researchers had gathered in the Plateau's elegant courtyard to hear their president make his rousing speech. Then after that was the fireworks display both manmade and Pokemonmade attractions as well as the open house and stalls surrounding the courtyard made the experience just that more.
But perhaps best of all, they got to see the Master trainers. The very trainers they could just be facing in a couple weeks time, the very trainers that would have to give up their very position to any of the hopefuls in the crowd if a loss should befall them.
But of course the Masters most would try to fell would turn out to be Abby and Will as it was rumoured that Karen, Tea and Lance were virtually un-seatable in skill. For a trainer to get their position the Master trainer would have to resign or retire to leave a vacancy to be filled.
Now it was only a short while until the president would make his annual speech and the crowd was beginning to get restless at the fact.
Almost as if sensing the crowd was turning restless the president himself steeped up onto his podium for the trainers at his feet to see him (and make him appear taller).
Jayshow glanced around at the crowds. Not another bunch of pathetic wannabes trying to overthrow my Elites! He raged in the privacy of his mind while looking welcoming on the outside. "Ahem, I President Clifford Jayshow welcome you to the fifty-first Indigo League tournament!" He shouted into the microphone.
The crowd instantly jumped to their feet and thundered their applause in his direction and banging on the back of the seats in front of them. As big as the courtyard was it still couldn't hold the sheer amount of Master wannabes present. Many had taken to sharing seat, though it was now obvious hardly anyone would be sitting down anymore, others had taken to sitting on their friends' shoulders and other such strange space saving methods.
The President waved his hand at them to signal quiet. Heh, that's right eat right out of my palm. Good dogs.
"Is it me or is the President getting a bigger head?" Brendan asked anybody.
"He's really loosing it." The Psychic Master told his comrades. "It's like he has two sides, and not like normal people. His personalities are in conflict."
The Indigo Elite and the visiting Masters where stood behind their President on the stage facing the huge crowd of trainers. It was something most of them were used to save from Abby and Morty.
In general Abby was a bubbly and easily excitable girl around her friends and family, and even the new comer Isaac, but when stood in front of an uncountable number of people she showed her other side. Adding to the fact she was short and very thin her lead Pokemon, Vaporeon, was always trying to draw attention to itself and as a result Abby would also gain the brunt of the attention. It made her uncomfortable with strangers.
"Quiet, Blue." She hissed under her breath and stood on the Vaporeon's tail to stop it waving it at the close trainers in the front row.
The Ghost Apprentice was stood next to her, and like Isaac and Wes, he was a master at concealing his emotions. On the outside his face held no sign of how uncomfortable he felt inwards, but then he had known what he was getting himself into when he became Gym Leader. Public displays of him seen as a trophy to goggling trainers and Eusine.
That was a point. Where was Eusine? He hadn't seen him in months and neither had Will, it was strange. The man was obsessed with Suicune and was determined to bond with one, preferably the Burnt Tower one, but then he said that if he got the chance he'd bond with any no matter where it came from. Morty laughed under his breath, Eusine would hate this Wes character for bonding with all three of the Legendary Dogs. Sods Law – that's what it is – Sods Law.
The blonde trainer looked up from under his bangs to see Jayshow still jabbering on about how the "Glory of the Indigo League must be upheld" of course that was justhis subtle way of saying they must crush the Hoenn League.
"The man never got this worked up at the Orange League." Lorelei whispered.
Steven nodded. "I don't know what all the fuss is about. We certainly are not in competition with you."
"The Pres don't seem t' think tha'" Lance said while still looking forward.
"We really need to have the Prime Minister come down and see him. Or at least have Mercury take a look at him." Will said, worried.
The Ghost Master rapped her cane in a wooden plank of the stage. "You have no need to worry, William. I am sure the pressure of these finals are the only thing affecting him." She tried to reassure everyone, but failed for the most part.
"Nah, he's been like this for ages." Abby squeaked.
Lorelei looked down at the young girl. "Are you okay? You sound ill."
The Water Master shook her head slightly still not releasing Blue. "Fine… oh look." She nodded up to Jayshow. "He's calling us next."
President Clifford Jayshow, also known as psycho, held his hand back towards the Masters. "I'm sure you all know who these incredible people are." He said with a proud tone. "Allow me to introduce them. This is Morty Fin, the Ecruteak Gym Leader!"
Morty stepped forward and bowed his head lightly. "Psycho." He muttered and smiled at the crowd as they cheered, he stepped back rather quickly to avoid the spotlight.
"Ghost Master, Agatha Witchout!" The elderly woman held her place but nodded at the trainers as they cheered again.
Slowly but surely the Indigo President introduced all the Masters, but not without some smart remarks by them under their breath. The Hoenn trainers were an interesting change to the ceremony and gained more suspicious looks that applause – not that they expected to be welcomed immediately.
Agatha and Will had told them beforehand that most of the trainers entering in the finals were under twenty years of age and as such were easily influenced by powerful figures of authority such as Jayshow. Not to say that Jayshow had turned his League against others as later the trainers here now would also end up in Ever Grande some time in the future. Their President was just racist no matter how much he tried to deny it.
The sky had darkened and the sun fled as the cool night air fell down upon the courtyard after Jayshow had been talking for nearly three hours. But now it was time for the fireworks display.
Despite what others had told them, May and Brendan had snuck round the back of the cart the fireworks had been kept in and stolen two – a Charizard and Raichu.
As the sky lit up with a Caterpie firework the Lati bonded trainers set up their two. The Caterpie in the sky had illuminated the immediate area with a dull green glow and was currently using 'String Shot' and creating intricate patterns against the velvet sky.
The fireworks themselves where a recent product from Silph Co. and came in many different Pokemon patterns. A Donphan was now soaring across the black leaving sprinkles of colour to drop to the ground but only to dissolve before anyone could reach up and touch them – not a good idea to touch.
"Stick it there!" May said and Brendan put the stick with the Raichuwork attached in the ground. "This'll be good." She laughed and rubbed her hands together.
"Think we can get Jayshow?" Brendan snickered and angled the firework at the short stumpy man as he paced back and forth under the display.
The two had hidden away from the stage and aimed both the fireworks at the Indigo President. From the things both Agatha and Will had told them this man really needed to let loose and have some fun and this was certain to tickle his funny bone. Of course the fireworks wouldn't burn him or even touch him for that matter as they'd had Tea mark out the exact co-ordinates for the attack. They hadn't told himthey were going to actually scare the President but where training both Mistie and Sheen and needed things to be perfect, Tea hadn't said one thing about it (just as they'd hoped) but rather just done it and left.
"Not a social man is he?" May snickered and released Hotfoot her Blaziken to light the fuse.
"Who isn't a social man?"
"Ah!" May jumped at the sudden strange voice and whipped around to punch the caller at a reflex. The man caught her fist with little effort and dropped her hand.
Brendan heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh, Mew." He wiped his forehead and dropped the hand that held the Pokeball concealing his Tropius. "Lance, don't come up behind us like that, sheesh."
"Terribly sorry." Lance said and eyed the fireworks.
May held up her head in surprise. "What?" She asked in slight confusion – Lance had never spoken like that before, in fact he always complained when other people did.
"Sorry." He repeated himself. "So, what is all this, then?"
May and Brendan followed his line of view to the fireworks and the clear shot they had at Jayshow. "Oh this, um… target practice?" May asked in a sheepish voice.
"I hardly think the others would appreciate the fact you are attempting to murder their – uh – our President." Lance scowled.
"But Lance, you took a swing at him with your sword yesterday." Brendan argued.
"Yeah!" May agreed. "Ya know, after he said all Tatsu are the same and should be put down along with all foreigners."
Lance's scowl deepened. "Oh he did, did he?" He muttered under his breath then cleared his throat. "Nonetheless, I hardly think you should turn firearms on him."
Hotfoot sniffed the air and stomped his foot to gain attention. May hushed him and Brendan jumped as Lance yelped and shot back from the Pokemon. "Crrrawwww?" The Blaziken growled in irritation and made forward towards the Indigo Champion.
"Get that… thing back!" Lance shouted.
"Why? He just wants to battle." The Dragon Master turned truly frightened after May's remark. "Charizard, he wants to battle Charizard."
"God! We are not fighting here!" He calmed down as Hotfoot stopped in his tracks and retreated back to May. "Not with all these trainers about."
"Are you feeling okay?" May asked as she recalled her Pokemon.
"Fine, fine. But we have orders from the Karada System. Two more trainers have been aligned with Legendaries, a Marina and Kenta of Johto. We are to make our way there, now."
The Latios bonded trainer looked back at the crowd watching the fireworks display. "But the finals have just begun. Don't you have to be here?"
Lance sighed. "How long have you been with the System? It is more important to obey the System than play host to the finals." He turned his back to them, cape swishing with the movement. "Mr Grammer and MissMiru are waiting for us."
"Wes and Rui? I thought Agatha sent them to Vance?" Brendan voiced.
"They have their desired information and are waiting for us in Vermilion port." He turned back to face them again. "And be a dear and tell the others, I have… things to take care of."
"…Ok." Brendan murmured as they gathered the two fireworks together and walked away from Lance and back to the Plataeu. "Man, do you think the pressure is getting to Lance too?"
"Dunno." May replied. "And what was with the whole 'proper English' thing?"
"Maybe he's trying to speak right for when the baby comes?"
"And sincewhen did he start callin' a battle "fighting"?"
"Look, just stop asking questions and get the others while I put these away." He indicated the fireworks.
"Right, right." May handed the Raichuwork to her partner and wandered to the receptionist's desk.
The young pretty woman looked up at May and smiled. "Hello dear, what can I do for you?"
"Um, I was wondering if you could tell me where the others have gone. They're not outside anymore."
"Yes," the woman shuffled through her files on the desk until she came across a stick-it note. "Yes, they had an urgent call from a Mr Aardak and had to leave immediately. They are waiting for you to accompany them."
May sighed and left to find Brendan and the others. "Thanks." So Aardak had called? While Lance was talking with them? Must have been Clair who answered the call then.
Aardak was the code name for the Karada System, they used the name Aardak as a person – a travelling professor actually. Yes, Professor Aardak was very close with all the Masters and was never ignored.
The Latias bonded girl jumped when she saw her comrades waiting for her at the entrance.
"Hurry up!" Brendan shouted. "We have a situation with the Legendaries!"
"Then we have to go to Johto!" She shouted back as she ran.
Brendan nodded. "Yes they know, I've told them."
The Hoenn Master reached them at the back gate and bent over to catch her breath, really they'd seemed closer than they where. After she regained a bit of her breath back she looked up at Lance and Clair. Now Lance had his sword with him when he hadn't before.
"Mew, you must've moved fast to get that!" She wheezed and pointed at the weapon.
"Wha'?" The Dragon Master looked just as confused as she felt. "I've 'ad this all evenin'."
"No you haven't! You didn't have it a moment ago…" Brendan said when he too realised thentrailed off to leave three confused Masters.
Clair stepped forward and waved her hands. "Yes Lance has had the sword all night, yes we sent him to find you, yes Brendan said he found you, yes we got a call from the System. Yes we have to go!"
"Whoah! Looks like we better step on it." Abby said with finality at the fuming Clair.
High above the cloud layer bright flashes of colour could be seen flying from all directions. Each flash dyed the murky clouds a vibrant colour, red, white, yellow, the clouds continued to shift from one variation to another as the battle raged.
Not knowing what was happening above the low cloud layer unnerved thehim as he backed himself up against a particularly jagged looking rock. He aimed his pistol at an advancing Warui and shot it dead with one well-aimed bullet. However, no sooner had he felled that single clone another and another took their fallen comrades' place. Trapped between the many spawn and a solid rock wall he was running out of ammunition.
He threw out his hand, palm facing the Pokemon, and gritted his teeth as an invisible wave of Psychic energy swept through each clone and knocked them away. Grasping his gun with a tighter grip the Psychic Elite pushed forward into the thick of the Warui.
"We have to finish this up. And fast!" He shouted above the cries of clones and Pokemon alike. The man he had shouted to turned his head slightly to look away from a Warui he had recently slain.
"The Legendaries are doing most of the cleaning up. We just have to pick of the stragglers, Will." The Johto Champion informed his teammate whilst whipping the sword he held around to watch the blood skim off.
The Psychic Elite jumped round to shoot at another creature. "Just who are up above the clouds!"
"Aura and Drakeo." No sooner had these words reached the air the clouds exploded into wisps of smoke as a blue Pokemon shot towards the ground.
A huge yet elegant Legendary flew towards the ground and hovered above the hordes of Warui. The shiny blue Lugia opened her mouth and charged a blinding energy ball and seconds later released the beam on the clones. Tracing a path with the intense Aeroblast the Lugia blasted a great manyclones to Hell. A second Legendary then shot from the remains of the clouds.
Drakeo the silver Rayquaza plummeted for the ground all the while shrieking in pain as the airborne Warui latched themselves onto the Dragons scales and tore at the soft flesh hidden underneath.
A scream of anguish was heard across the field. "Drakeco!" The Blackthorn Gym Leader jumped from her recently slain clone. The young woman cleared a path through the spawn of Ryuin as she attempted to reach her Bonded Legendary. Her attempts turned fruitless as both Will and Lance grabbed her and pulled her back and away from the thick of the battle.
Many of the Warui had now turned on each other as the increasingly violent battle raged forward.
The silver Dragon slammed his lithe body against the ground, successfully squashing those beneath the snake-like body and detachingothers from its person. The Pokemon continued to writhe on the floor as more Warui clambered and covered the Rayquaza.
A small pink Pokemon approached Will, Lance and Clair. The Psychic man smiled and holstered his gun but tightned his grip on the female dragon trainer's arm. The silver tailed Mew dropped onto Will's head and closed her baby blue eyes with concentration. A small tingling sensation later and the three Master trainers were standing on a high cliff, high enough for the air to be thin and hard to breathe in.
"No! Drakeco!" Clair shook Lance and Will off and ran to the cliffs edge. She dropped her own sword when the sight met her eyes. Miles and Miles of view were covered with the decayed clones. The blue Lugia sending attacks out in every which direction and her Rayquaza trapped under the sheer number of Warui. Even from this distance away she could feel pain from her Bonded.
A hand came to rest on her shoulder. "It's ok, Clair. We have it covered." Clair turned her head slightly to see who was trying to comfort her.The Elit Fourthmet her vision.
"How, Karen? What are you going to do?"
The Dark Elite smiled. Even though she had no Legendary she still came and fought in these battles. It was a tough job keeping these incidents from the public eye, but Will's Bonded Legendary, Mew, warded the immediate area from prying eyes. The papers would only find the scarred remains of the field and blame it on the sparsebandsof what remained ofTeam Rocket.
With a sudden jump the ground surrounding what remained of this latest fleet of Warui crumbled and fell in on itself. The ground circling the Warui then began to fall in on itself too, as the crumbling earth began to crack away the Rayquaza Bonded woman began to panic with more force.
"Don't wory, Clair. We have it figured out. Don't panic." Karen reassured with a positive tone.
A dark red aura was filtering through the cracks in the ground and incinerating any clone that came in contact. A glutteral growl reached everybody ears and a sudden flash of red hued energy and the earth exploded towards the sky, taking all with it. Clone after clone was tossed to the skies and those that avoided the Aeroblast fell to the hells of Groudon.
Flannery whooped and threw her arms above her head as the Master trainers watched the end of the struggle play out.
Amongst the thousands of Warui that were catapulted at the clouds Drakeco slithered free and joined Aura in finishing off the scattered few that dodged the Earth Gods wrath.
With a sigh of relief Clair turned to her fellow trainers. "Tha' it?" Karen looked around with painful eyes, and finally nodded.
The Psychic turned his eyes to the Dragon Master. "Hey Lance, we should be getting back to the Plataue. Can't miss too much of the finals, people'll get suspicious." The red haired man nodded his agreement and everyone walked down the path leading back to what remained of the battlefield.
It was just another battle with an unknown enemy.
A/N: Confusing much? I like to confuse people, heh. I'm thinking I need to make the battles longer and more exciting – these are Legendaries after all.
On another note this was fourteen pages on Word, and I don't remember how long the other chapters were, but I think that's pretty long for me
Well if anyone is reading this (glares at closet readers) would you mind telling me what you think of it. Just if nobody is reading it I'll stop posting it and only write it for my own entertainment, cheers!
