Chapter 42: reunited
Nei:
Using the device on Sylveon, I know what is happening elsewhere, as an attempt to know what was going on with the shaking. seeing Josh brought a smile know what was going on with the shaking. Charon laughed "you find something amusing there girly?" the speed of which Pikachu and Mimikyu were going was effectively dodging the psychic and bug attacks from his pokemon. But we can't get on the attack and keeping on the defence isn't likely to break through. We need to save the lake spirits as soon as we can.
as I tried to think of a plan to ensure the rescue of the lake spirits, we all heard a noise just behind us. Charon laughed "so, that's your reinforcement? What a pitiful display" I turned and saw the blue Shaymin from before, he was panting and seemed out of breath. Means he followed me all the way from Snowpoint City, down the mountain and over caves to get here. Glaceon seemed less than happy to see the Shaymin, especially since he was responsible for Team Galactic getting the lake spirits and for the injuries he gave the medic.
The Shaymins glare was the same as it was back at Snowpoint City, unclear hatred to me and holding my personally responsible for everything bad thing that had happened. the eyes whose stubborn nature overshadowed only by his ignorance, trying to avoid all form of blame no matter who might seem bad. Such a glare, doesn't bother me. The last thing I need is for that Shaymin to cause more trouble like before, based on why they were able to get the lake spirits, he wouldn't try to do the same thing as before if he wants to save them all. Shaymin used magical leaf and resumed his attack on me, bracing myself with the barrage of cutting leaves. Glaceon grew mad as he knew retaliating now isn't what I wanted for now, so he restrained himself as I kept receiving deep cuts and bleeding profusely. Pikachu and Mimikyu were occupied with the attacks from Charons Slowking and Golsipod. I knew the situation would get worse the moment the Shaymin got involved, it's like he has a personal vendetta against me as appose to the blame he had at Snowpoint City.
Charon took the opportunity provided and got the lake spirits out of the base without us noticing. He shouted with a smug grin "use toxic and sludge bomb" unfortunately, I couldn't hear the attack names as Slowking used toxic on Golsipods sludge bomb and it covered wall to wall, floor to ceiling with a thick purple slime. Looking at it, I knew just from looking at it that it was very dangerous and couldn't let it touch the skin. Before I could even speak, the Shaymin lunged toward the slime and I had to act or he'd end up being dissolved by the slime.
Without hesitation I said "Glaceon, use ice beam" he shot a beam of ice from his mouth and froze the slime instantly. Calling back Pikachu and Mimikyu I got a headbutt to the stomach by the Shaymin as he complained "why'd you do that? We had him and I would have beaten that guy quick" he kept complaining, along the same point repeated over and over, as I weighed out what I could have done. If I used my Delphox for a fire-based attack, the fire would have spread out hurting the Shaymin, not to mention it could have made the corrosive slime worse. I couldn't use Blastoise as the space was too narrow, using water to dilute the slime would have been the best option as it'd lessen the corrosion and barely hurt the Shaymin. The only option was to freeze it, even if it means blocking the way to get them back.
We have to find a way to free them, so me and Glaceon ignored the Shaymin and ran back with him following. Heading to the hall, I saw the vines with Sylveon standing in front of it with Josh, Leafeon and Jolteon. Josh smiled his usual smile and threw his arms up, I did the same and we hugged. Leafeon and Jolteon were confused as Glaceon and Sylveon hugged too. He smiled and said "been awhile Nei" I nodded as he continued "didn't think you'd be involved so quickly. We'll catch up when we have time, so far Team Galactic is up to no good and it involves legendary's"
"I'm aware, I was informed by a friend who's in the region about everything that happened and I was there when they got the lake spirits, Azelf, Mesprit and Urix. I plan to rescue them all" he seemed pleased by my resolve and he turned "this is Leafeon and Jolteon, this is Nei the girl in the stories I've been telling" they both looked to me as I knelt down and pet them, they noticed my bleeding and so did Josh. "you hurt?" he asked concerned. I replied "it's fine, the wounds will heal in afew weeks, for now let's focus on the task at hand"
Seemed like many things were happening at once and if the people behind the wall of vines were who I thought, then we'd have no need to worry.
Tank:
The battle was evenly matched even with it being 2 vs 2 and I could tell Lace was having trouble, focusing on how to heal the Flareon that was badly hurt. Umbreon and Ven were doing well to hold off the fire and poison attacks while my Vikavolt and her Vaporeon tag teamed with water and electric. Eevee continued to stand and defend them when possible, then she suddenly began to glow and change within the glow. She was evolving. The glowing stopped and Eevee had evolved into a 2 tailed pink cat like pokemon, she evolved into an Espeon. Could the newly evolved Espeon be able to sway the battle in our favour? Most would be thinking this but I have no doubt that we'll win.
