Chapter 180 Genesect Interruption Part 2
Ash and Yancy run out of the shelter and find Aya at the bay. She is staring at the sea as tears are in her eyes.
Aya: Ugh. Why did they have to show up...? This whole show was hard enough as is in the first place, but with him here... Everything Titania said was on the money. I hate him. And I hated Cain for leaving me to deal with him alone. Why does he get to run away? I thought about following so many times... But I also know I need to deal with the issues in a more mature way than... Whatever that was. Don't suppose they'd be willing to cancel rehearsal on account of it being cloudy with a chance of assholes?
Yancy: Well...I don't think it is possible...
Aya: Of course not. It never stopped anyone before. I'll go ahead and go back inside and see if I can convince him and my mom to go home or something.
Then she walks back into the shelter, and Yancy turns to Ash.
Yancy: So what's with them? I mean Cain and Aya?
Ash: I think I have seen some memories back in the void...Cain is gay, and that causes the family to be torn apart. Cain does this because how his father just left the house, and his mother just found another man, that one.
Yancy: I see... Maybe we should get back and check on the others.
Ash and the others nod, but just as they get back into the shelter, they are surprised to find everyone gone, except for Aya, who is also shocked as them.
Aya: Um? Where... did everyone go? Is this some kind of prank? Cuz if so... Haha, gotten...? Can we come out now...?
Ash: I believe that this might be the reason why Yancy and I are here...
Aya: Am I stating the obvious if I say something is really wrong here? Something seemed strange when I entered the room, too...
Yancy: I think maybe we should have a look around the building. Maybe we'll find them somewhere.
As they rush out of the place, they start to have visions in their minds.
Aya: What was that?
Yancy: I think I have seen some visions...
Ash: That was the Blackstream Factory...it was before this place becomes a Shelter...
They continue to run to the basement until they find a New World Door, so they quickly rush in to see if the others are there, and they find themselves in a factory called Neo Blackstream Fabrication. There are a lot of gates and monitors on the way.
Aya: So... You're seeing this place too, right? I'm not just delusional?
Yancy: We're not...it seems like the New World Gate opens under the Shelter as well.
Aya: That's always nice.
Just then, two Genesect appear in front of them, and they are glowing.
Ash: (Gasps) Genesects?
Aya: Hey, excuse me- what?!
Then they start to summon Pokemon to battle them, and there are Klefki, Dhelmise, Ferrothorn, Mega Steelix, Probopass, Bisharp, and two Genesect. Ash, Yancy, and Aya use their Pokemon to defeat them, especially with the help of Ash's Charizard and Infernape, who are able to use Fire Moves and Fighting moves to stop them. But after they are defeated, they just flee.
Aya: What the hell was that?
Yancy: (Looks around) Well, looks like there's only one way to go. Hopefully, everyone else is here too... somewhere.
As they move forward, they find a giant machine with four slots for four drives.
Aya: This is a New World, isn't it? Freshly created, blank slate existence? So how is it that all this machinery even exists?
Ash: I guess the only possible explanation is that it's being influenced by ours...
Aya: Well, whatever. It makes these computer things easy to use at least. There's a toggle here... Let's see what happens.
Aya presses the toggle, and then they turn around to find the door shut, and some doors are opening.
Aya: Looks like this switch is linked to a handful of the doors in here. It might be the same for some of the other panels. For now, I'll see if there's anything ahead.
Then Aya leaves, and Yancy turns to Ash.
Yancy: So what now?
Ash: Let's see if we can find others first.
As they move forward, they are surprised to see multiple Genesect in front of them. Aya is also staring at them with surprise.
Aya: For like the third time in a row: What the hell?! Does someone wanna tell me what is happening here?! Obviously not, so forget it-
Yancy: I can tell you, there might be 40 or 50 Genesect in the area...I can't believe this New World thing creates a lot of them...
Ash: And Genesect was supposed to be Mythical Pokemon made by Team Plasma or something...
Aya: These things are just going to keep spilling out if someone doesn't keep them in check... So I'll just live with it like I always have. I'll keep them at bay while you look for the others, or some way to shut these guys down, or- God, anything. I'm counting on you, so please do something resembling hurrying! Dragalge, Lycanroc! (Sends out the two Pokemon) We're in for the long haul here... So as a certain stupid boy says... Let's get ready to rock!
Ash: Okay, we'll leave this to you.
Then Ash and Yancy move right from the Central machine, and they find a computer and turns it off, opening a door to find Arclight there with two more Anomaly Genesect.
Arc: Ash! Yancy! You're sure a sight for a sore eye! And just in the nick of time. These two gizmos just galloped out of the woodwork. Wanna put the rust on 'em with me?
The Genesect anomalies send out Klinklang, Ampharos, Manectric, Alolan Golem, Vikavolt, Eelektross, Raikou, Zapdos, and two Genesect with Shock Drives. Ash, Yancy, and Arclight battle them together and knock them out.
Arc: Nice work. That might've been some rough stuff if you hadn't shown up when you did. And it looks like one of them dropped something. I don't suppose you know what this is, do you?
Ash: (Takes the Shock Drive) I know...this is the Shock Drive. It makes Genesect's Techno Blast Electric Type.
Yancy: So what happened to you guys?
Arc: Now for the rewind: We were in the atrium trying to stitch up the sitch when we started getting some funk on the line. Blinked and we were here, tapped our heels and we weren't. Came and went a few times in the confusion and eventually, we went with it. I think this is a New World sector that's overlapped with the real world. We had a few of those before you drifted back into existence and it wasn't pretty. Once we clear out all the Anomalies it should be safe, but in the meantime, I'm not the only one stuck in here. I saw some of the shelter residents stuck a little further in, so I'm gonna head forward and free them first. I'm counting on you to keep the rest of the set safe. I'll check in when I can. Stay tuned.
Ash: You can count on us.
Then they insert the Shock Drive into the machine, and then all the power is back and the machines are working and the lights are back on. And they also notice some fences are down but some have electricity blocking.
Yancy: I guess that's what we need to do?
Ash: Yeah, but there might be three more Drives that we need to find.
Then they decide to do some puzzles until they find Cain with two more Anomaly Genesect.
Cain: Heyyy, Ash, Yancy, nice timing as always! These two just showed up and were starting to get a little rough for my taste. Wanna double dip with me?
Ash: Let's beat them quickly.
The Anomalies use Alolan Sandslash, Alolan Ninetales, Weavile, Porygon-Z, Froslass, Rotom Freeze Form, Aegislash, Aurorus, Articuno, Regice, and two Genesect with Chill Drives. Ash, Yancy, and Cain then defeat them after a hard battle.
Cain: So... what is that, like... The fourth... fifth time you've saved me? Just so you know, I don't try to be a damsel or anything, I'm just naturally good at it~ (Picks up the Chill Drive) And they left a souvenir. (Gives Ash) My prize to you, my savior~
Ash: Okay...
Cain: I saw my mom further in. She was... a big part of the reason I left. But even so, I can't just abandon her here. Even if she is totally out of line, I'm gonna go get her out. Who knows, maybe she'll figure out how to treat me like a reasonable human being somewhere along the way. I'll see you soon! Ta!
Ash nods as Cain leaves, and then they insert the Chill Drive inside, and much to their surprise, it is getting colder in the factory.
Yancy: I should've brought a heavier coat...
Ash: But we can still try to find the Burn Drive if you want to get warmer.
Aya: (Rushes towards them) Ash, did you just change the temperature in here- was that you? I have an idea. See if you can find a way to make it hotter instead! If we can overheat the whole facility, maybe I can wipe all these guys out at once! Gotta get back to it- move fast!
Ash: No problem, we need to find the Burn Drive.
Then they continue to solve the puzzles by turning off the doors or removing the drives, and it takes some time until they find Titania with two more Genesect on the way.
Titania: I assume you already know what's going on here. Fight first; chat later.
These Anomalies are using Ninetales, Infernape, Rotom Heat Form, Darmanitan, Incineroar, Alolan Marowak, Moltres, Entei, Victini, Blacephalon, and two Genesect with Burn Drives. This time they're hard to beat, but Ash, Yancy, and Titania work together to defeat all of them.
Titania: Hardy is going to owe me like infinity favors after this. (Takes the Burn Drive and gives it to Ash) This is all yours. When we were dragged over into this space, I caught a glimpse of where Tez was isolated. Loathe as I am for it, I'm going to spare the others the burden of rescuing him. Better I do it than they have to, and I have some more choice words for him. Keep it up.
Titania leaves, and Ash quickly inserts the Burn Drive, and the heat is rising in the factory.
Yancy: You're right, it's getting hotter in here...
Ash: Let's see if Aya can defeat those Genesects.
Aya: (Rush towards them) I did it! They're all fuckin' burning! Every single one of them! Hahahaha- take that, motherfuckers! WOOO!
Ash and Yancy can only look at the girl with surprise.
Aya: Okay, that's a break. Man, is this how Charlotte feels all the time? Maybe I should jump types.
Ash: Maybe...
Ash and Yancy are surprised at Aya's sudden mood change, but they know better than argue as they continue to do the puzzles.
And here is the second part of the Genesect Chapter, as you can see, Ash and Yancy are now in the new area where they have to fight a lot of Genesect anomalies on the way. This is also a hard quest, so I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be the conclusion of Cain's family problems and Gensect capturing.
