This is it folks...the end of the Pigbumps arc has arrived! The next great battle is upon us! How will this end? What do the Dark Three want with Pigbumps? Where did Hoopa and the Wanderers come from? What did Wendell draw on Pigbumps's face? Let's find out! (-o-)
Gavin's POV
Professor Bumblebore readied his wand. "Be ready, children! This fight will not be easy! That's Yveltal over there, master of death!"
"Oh, I'm pleased to be recognized!", Yveltal commented, "Like I said, I only want the pig. The rest of you will be spared, but only if you stay out of the way."
Vernon, free from his bonds, floated into the air and lit himself up with an aura of flames. "That's not going to happen! There's a reason Arceus forbade anyone from collecting the Precursor keys!"
Yveltal scoffed. "Arceus is a power-hungry fool! He only wants to control you, and all the realms!"
Hoopa, who was still hovering above the trapdoor, shouted, "True, but it's not like you're any better! Giratina will destroy everything if her vision comes to pass!"
At that point, Pigbumps woke up.
"What the - unhand me, fiends!", Pigbumps shouted, "Right now, or I'll, uh, do something bad!"
Yveltal chuckled. "Hello, piggie. It's time for you to serve your true purpose."
Vernon replied by throwing himself at the vulture.
Everyone in the room immediately started trying to kill each other.
"Come on!", Lulu shouted, dragging me along with her, "We've got to help out!"
I started racing down to the dance floor, dodging as a student threw their chair at us. All the students who'd been here before us were rebelling, their cruel master compromised. It was utter chaos now.
I noticed the Dark Three's servants making their move. Will had locked heads with the other Zamazenta. The Snorlax had grabbed one of the tables and was trying to knock everyone around with it. Mia was running in terror from...the Magikarp?
But before I could worry much about it, the Groudon charged in and slammed Lulu into the floor.
"No!", I yelled.
I turned and slammed into the Groudon's side, which probably hurt me more than him.
Lulu managed to leap back to her feet. "That wasn't very polite! Let me show you the fists that took down the Lord of Time!"
Her paws lit up with energy, and she punched the Groudon in the jaw, causing his head to snap back.
"Grr, I'll take you down!", the Groudon shouted. With a sudden shock, I realized that sounded like Derek's voice. Derek was one of the sports team, and although he could be kind of a jerk I had not expected that he'd be a Groudon all the way out here.
"Derek?", asked Lulu.
Derek froze. "Whoa! Wait...are you guys the ones who went to that nerd camp? What the bleep are you doing here?"
"We could ask you the same thing!", I shouted.
Derek replied, "Well...we were kind of recruited by that shadow guy. He says that we need to help him save the universe from stagnation, or something. It sounded bad, at any rate. And I'm going to help him! I'll try not to beat you up too badly."
"Not good enough!", Lulu shouted, driving a kick to his shin.
Derek snarled, and with a stomp of his foot the ground began quaking. Still shaky on my four paws, I was sent sprawling. Lulu stumbled, and lost her balance as well.
But before Derek could press the attack, he was frozen solid from behind.
"What the -", I started.
A cyborg Kyurem lifted up the Derek-sicle and tossed him aside. "Hey there.", he said.
Lulu frowned. "Who are you?"
"Kyle.", the Kyurem replied, "I'm from the Wanderers. We received a distress call from a one Kermit Jr., who spotted some old friend of the group named Hoopa. I only just joined, but he seemed important."
"So you freed him?", I asked, "Good to me. But who exactly are these Wanderers?"
Before Kyle could respond, there was a loud explosion as Pigbumps's chair got smited by Professor Bumblebore.
"Right, questions later.", I said, "Warzone now." (-o-)
Jacob's POV
I noticed a frozen Derek crash next to me, and I quickly used my newly-learned Flamethrower to thaw him out.
"We got trouble kid.", he said, "These are our fellow students from Perrington, you know, the Pokemon nerds? And they have help."
I shuddered. Darkrai had tried to convince me that the Vulpix had not been my sister Mia, but it appeared he was wrong. But how could I fight her and her friends?
Charging past was a Zacian, who lit up with bright light and blinded Jerry, the Hisiuan Sneasel. I felt angry. Whether or not they'd been our fellow students, they were hurting the new friends I'd made, and I wouldn't stand for that!
"Come on, Derek!", I shouted, "We can't let them win!" I charged at the Zacian and shot a Flamethrower at her, causing her to yelp and leap away. I recognized her as Zola, and didn't feel too sorry. I hadn't known her very much, other than the fact she was one of the 'cool kids'.
Derek nodded. "Yeah! For freedom!"
He charged and got locked in combat with a scary-looking Zekrom, who had a familiar guitar slung over his shoulder. Derek punched him in the face, knocking the Zekrom off his feet, but silently a red-eyed Reshiram pounced on him from behind and started clawing at his face. I ran over and started trying to pull her off, but she was much bigger and heavier than I was. Her fire tail seemed to fill me with strength, though, which was nice.
Manfred the Mankey started pulling off his Cowabunga Toss, which involved him picking up Chester the Chewtle, spinning around, and throwing him at somebody. In this case, he tossed Chester at a Flareon, who cried out as the turtle hit her in the face. It turned into a shriek as Chester chomped her ear.
"Hah, who's the better martial artist now, Fiona?!", Manfred taunted, "Here I come!"
Derek managed to get himself out from under the Reshiram, and stomped his foot. The two dragons were tossed into the air as the floor cracked and shifted.
"Let's go-", he started, before the old man in the air pointed his wand at him and froze him in place.
"This is unfortunate.", the wizard said sadly, "The Dark Three are twisting the minds of children now."
There was a loud squeal of rage, as the fat pig shook off whatever spell had been binding him. He somehow looked even more terrifying with the mustache, googly eyes, and the words Crazyfatguy scribbled on his face.
"Your reign ends now, Pigbumps!", the old man shouted, turning away from me. I took the opportunity to shoot an Ember at his robes. Much to my astonishment, it scored a direct hit on his bottom.
The old man froze, as smoke tickled his chin. Then he started shouting and running around in the air, his pants on fire.
Pigbumps started laughing...but then Yveltal flew in front of him.
"The first key, you shall be mine!", he screeched, and his feathers started glowing a bloody red.
Pigbumps didn't even have time to scream. In a brilliant explosion, he dissolved into energy that Yveltal absorbed, leaving only a floating chunk of metal, a strange blue rune glowing on its surface.
Yveltal grinned, and it flew into his clutches. "Our work is done here.", he said, "Time to make our exit."
At that point, a smoke bomb detonated in his face. (-o-)
Seria's POV
I cringed as soon as I saw the smoke bomb go off.
Sure enough, a familiar trio strode out of it.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
A white fox with a fan-like tail smacked himself in the face with his paw. "Seriously?"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
The floating pink cat rose an eyebrow. "What in Arceus are those guys doing here?"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
The wizard stopped running long enough to comment, "Well, things are going to get worse, aren't they?"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
Everyone had stopped fighting by now to stare at the three of them. A secret agent-loking person took a long sip of coffee, commenting, "The most ridiculous anomaly of all, I see."
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
The three new arrivals strode forward, looking like they had just won the grand prize.
"That metal thingy was shiny!", Meowth shouted, "Gimme it!"
The red vulture looked angered. "Excuse me, of course not! We've worked very hard for this!"
"We love taking things that took a lot of hard work!", declared Jessie, "Hand it over!"
James, meanwhile, was staring at a yellow mouse creature who'd been battling a blue penguin. "Look, there's Pikachu! Shouldn't we try to capture them?"
Meowth thought for a moment. "Nah. We can catch him later. He always shows up again, see."
James nodded. "Sounds good! Let's steal everything!"
The red vulture screeched, "Quickly, Giratina! A clown gang wants the key!"
Jessie turned as red as her hair.
"Excuse me!? A clown gang!? I'll show you, you, you, you twerp!", she shouted.
James pointed a rose at the bird. "Let's get him!"
"Raaaaaahhhhh!", roared Meowth and Jessie, pouncing at the bird. But a swirling black portal appeared behind him, and he disappeared into it, along with his minions. It closed before Team Rocket could reach it.
"No! He'll pay for insulting me, I'll make sure of that!", Jessie shouted.
James looked back at the yellow mouse. "Steal Pikachu?", he suggested.
The pink cat said, "Hoopa, I believe it's time we made our exit."
A weird floating creature nodded. "Hoopa knows where the Dark Three will go next! Time for a trip through the farthest reaches of space and time!"
A giant portal appeared, black and filled with lightning. In a brilliant flash, everyone disappeared inside it.
As we made our way through, I swore I heard from the other side, "Oh no, I think something was wrong with today's potato mochi!" (-o-)
AN: And that's that! Any guesses where we're going next? Feel free to review! Until next time, happy Pokemon hunting!
