(A few Days later, October 26th,2017)
After a few days of continuous and rigorous training, Jarod and his team are looking to relax for a while. Diantha still remains at his home, still tending to an injured ankle after getting snagged by a tree root during the blizzard a few days back. However, she holds a secret but is afraid to reveal it. Little does anyone know that today will set in motion a series of events that will put the entire world in danger.
"Alright. Now today is definitely a day to kick back and relax, the creation festival is occurring in Lumiose today and I actually might check it out." Jarod thinks to himself." Hmm, I wonder if Diantha would be willing to go with me. I honestly think I've got feelings for her but there's no way a woman of her standard would fall for me."
Meanwhile, in the center of Lumiose, the entire street is packed with trainers and civilians, various stands are set up around the prism tower. Vendors distributing food from the Sinnoh region, as well as selling trinkets and even pokemon eggs to curious trainers. There is a sense of peace and joy in the air, but that peace will be shattered in an instant
To the north of the city, the team infinity command ship looms ominously at high altitude, a large cannon can be seen under the nose of the craft. The cannon glows with purple energy as it charges. On board the commander of the team speaks with his two lieutenants.
"Commander Lucius, the spatial cannon is charged and our beast is ready for battle, shall we commence our operation?" Dragomir asks firmly.
"Let me contact our ground force commander and confirm that they are ready. 2nd lieutenant thorn do you read me, are your grunts in position?"
"Yes sir, our team is ready to enter the city after the initial strike, our pokemon are ready to engage and wipe out anyone who stands in our way", replies a tall, tan skinned woman with blood red eyes and jet-black hair with purple highlights.
"Alright then, Dragomir fire the cannon, I shall retrieve our ultimate pokemon and join the fight as soon as possible." Lucius shouts in a commanding manner.
"Roger that sir, launching in 5. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. FIRE!" A large purple blade of energy fires off at supersonic speed, cutting through the air with a loud screech.
Meanwhile back in the city, A civilian looks up to see a purple flash off in the distance but getting closer and brighter at an obscene speed. A few seconds later the projectile slices into the prism tower at its midsection with a horrific explosion, the top of the tower collapses down bringing the rest of the structure with it in a cacophonous plume of glass steel and concrete, People begin running in absolute panic but find their paths blocked by a surge of grunts and pokemon such as honchkrow, darmanitan, arcanine, and arbok which begin attacking.
Brrring…. briiing. Jarod's phone goes off while he is prepping to head to Lumiose. "Huh? professor sycamore? Why would he be calling me out of the blue?" Jarod wonders as he answers.
"Jarod! Are you there, please respond!" shouts a panicked sycamore.
"Professor, what's the matter?" Jarod asks perplexed
"Jarod, Lumiose city is under attack, a large blade of energy struck the tower and it collapsed on the festival, we have many casualties and there are strange people with infinity marks on their outfits and they are attacking the people and emergency teams, please get here as fast as you can!"
"What! hold on I'm coming, Oblivion I need you, we ve gotta race to Lumiose now!"
"What's going on?" Oblivion grumbles
"The city is under attack by an unknown group, there are many casualties and they need our help ASAP!" Jarod yells as the two quickly ascend and head towards the smoking Lumiose city.
Naval Blockade from Ace Combat 5 starts to play.
"Mother of god, they're massacring the citizens." Jarod stammers as he witnesses an ace trainer getting slammed into a light post by a honchkrow, snapping his spine and killing him.
"Unbelievable…." Oblivion shrieks angrily
"Spectra! Venus, protect those people!"Jarod yells as he deploys his giratina and milotic to engage the attacking mons. Spectra transforms into her altered form and fires a barrage of aura spheres and shadow balls at a group of honchkrow, knocking them out. Venus takes down a couple of arcanine and darmanitan with hydro pump but is bitten by an arbok's poison fang which poisons her. As a result, she quickly disappears amongst the swarm of attackers.
"Yveltal, you need to get me on that ship, me, greninja and lucario need to shut that things cannon down!"
"I can see an opening near the back of the ship, you ll have to jump." Oblivion states.
"Just do it!" Jarod commands as he leaps off the giant bird and lands on the ship next to a hatch
"Be careful!" Oblivion yells as Jarod enters the craft and heads for the central weapon core. However, he is soon intercepted….
"Well…well. well, it appears as if we have a rat on board", Says a tall man with long dark blue hair and a dark malicious smirk on his face. His outfit is similar to the robes of the grunts but has armor on the shoulders and chest. Upon his back is a sheath, a sword handle can be seen jutting out over his right shoulder. The infinity symbol sits upon the left shoulder piece. On his feet are white combat boots with silver studs adorning the toes. At his waist sits one poke ball, however this one is black with red lines coursing through it.
"Who the hell are you?" Jarod asks with great hostility, Ryu and Anubis taking up a combat ready stance beside him
"My name is Lucius. I am the commander of team infinity."
"Why are you attacking the city!? you ve injured so many innocents for no damn reason!" Jarod shouts enraged.
"My goal is simple, I wish to acquire the lustrous orb. Humans like yourself have defiled, desecrated, and ravaged the once perfect order of this world. They must be put in the rightful place, and the only way to do so is through the power of the legendary pokemon of dimensions." Lucius states.
"Are you out of your mind! Do you realize what will happen if palkia is unleashed, I won't let you gain control of it you bastard!"
So foolish and disillusioned, I shall simply destroy you and move on. Do you honestly think I would chase after the orb without having the creature that gains power from it", Lucius declares as he tosses the poke ball from his waist. In a burst of red and black energy, Palkia appears in front of him, its eyes glowing a ferocious red color. Its wings, arms and legs are adorned in a dark blood red armor. Around its neck are two cords attached to a core on its back, crackling with red sparks.
"Gagyahgagyah!" the beast roars, a hint of pain laces its voice
"Ryu! Anubis!"Engage! Jarod commands his two pokemon.
"Ice Beam!" Ryu calls out as he fires a beam of icy energy from his mouth, scoring a direct hit on palkias chest but it doesn't even leave a mark. Palkia quickly fires off an aura sphere at the frog pokemon, knocking him unconscious instantly.
"Ryu!" Anubis growls before mega evolving and charging forward using a combination of extremespeed and bullet punch. However just like Ryu, his attacks fail to even dent palkias health at all.
What ! my attacks didn't do anything! Anubis gasps in horror.
Pathetic…. simply pathetic. Lucius states as palkia launches another aura sphere, slamming Lucario at point blank range and knocking him unconscious as well. Leaving him badly injured.
"Lucario, greninja no!" Jarod gasps as palkias arm begins to charge its signature move, spatial rend.
"Well… that was a waste of time, however anyone who interferes with our plans will suffer the consequences! Now your dear partners will pay the ultimate price for their impudence!" Lucius shouts sadistically.
"You monster!' Jarod yells as he runs in front of his two injured pokemon. "I won't let you kill them, even if it means I go down in the process!"
"Suit yourself… palkia obliterate them!" the spatial deity fires of a blade of energy capable of distorting space at the trainer but alters its path to avoid a direct impact, the attack hits at Jarod's feet, blasting him, Ryu and Anubis out of the ship and into the air violently, throwing them all the way to the woodlands near Snowbelle.
"Grraaaaaaagh!" Jarod screams as he flies through the air, his two pokemon crashing down in the forest below. He smashes violently against two trees, breaking his left arm, before tumbling into the river near the pokemon village. He is carried down a small but fast waterfall, smacking his head against the rocky cliff face. The current slows at the bottom and he weakly pulls himself on to the shore. However, he is badly injured, his left arm is broken, a large bloody gash runs from his right shoulder down to the top of his abdomen, and he has suffered a major concussion as a result of the impacts.
"…. Ryu…...Anubis…...Diantha…I'm…... Sorry…." Jarod murmurs weakly before finally losing consciousness, a small pool of blood staining the grass underneath him.
