ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 30: The rescue.
Disclaimer: Still don't own Pokemon :/
Life for the survivors from the Kalos base attack was not easy, but they were still alive and kicking.
Captain Jack North and the remaining members of his crew had set up life in a cave with a fresh water spring located in it, plus an underground food source.
And a menacing wall painting that is nightmare fuelling.
Jack was with his Larvitar that he had caught. He had trained him slightly and he got stronger but was nowhere near the tier of military power level needed.
Duncan, Tom and Jargai was chilling by the edge of the spring.
"It's too dangerous to go looking for anything. We don't know what is out there!" Tom called out.
"Pokemon, terrorists and monsters is what it out there." Duncan responded as Tom rolled his eyes.
"Before that day, I never believed in monsters but…" Jack muttered as Larvitar looked up at him.
"Yeah, you have said like 6 times now Jack." Jargai told him.
Jack just sighed loudly.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I JUST WANT TO DIE!" Tom yelled out.
"Tom, shut it! We are making it out of here!" Jack hissed.
"I admire your hope Jack. But if we are going to make it out of this place alive, we need to act fast otherwise we will be forgotten about." Duncan told his leader.
"You don't think I already know that! Besides? Why would my own father forget about his oldest son!" Jack snapped.
Duncan sighed.
"He is a busy man. If he believes we are dead, he doesn't have time for dead people." Duncan shouted, standing up aggressively.
Jack just squinted at him and stood up.
"Take that back!"
"Jack! Open your eyes! That thing is still out there! Hell! For all that we know, it could be in like Kanto or Kalos by now!" Duncan shouted as he stormed over to Jack and got in his face.
"How the hell will that thing cross the fucking ocean, Duncan!?" Jack yelled as he shoved Duncan back.
"How the hell did that thing resist all of our military attacks?!"
"Captain North!" a solider shouted from outside as another walked in with a man and threw him to the ground.
Jack turned to Duncan.
"We'll talk about this later!" Jack spat and he turned to the man on the ground. "And who the fuck are you?"
The man spoke in a foreign language which Jargai caught on.
"He is speaking in Orrean." Jargai confirmed.
"Can you translate?" Jack asked the Orrean military solider.
Jargai nodded as the two talked.
Jargai looked back up with a pale look.
"He said he is apart of the Orrean activist group." Jargai told everyone as they all surrounded the man. "WAIT! WAIT!"
"He is a mother fucking terrorist Jargai! Stand down!" Duncan yelled.
"WAIT! He also said the head courters of the group was attack by a strange plant thing last night." Jargai muttered as everyone looked around.
"No way…"
The man pleaded in his native language.
"His family is still in the town and is begging us to save them…"
"Hell no! I am not going into battle with the thing that destroyed our base! And going to save the family of a terrorist is the last thing I want to be remembered by!" Tom shouted as he kicked the man who was now whimpering in fear of what had happened to his family.
Jack then thought of an idea.
"Ask him if they have a phone or something along those lines!" Jack blurted out.
"What?" Jargai muttered confused.
"Just do it!"
Jargai turned to the man and asked the question who nodded rapidly and responded.
"Yeah, they do…"
"We could get ourselves killed but that phone is our way home." Jack announced. "This is our best shot of getting out of this hellhole!"
"How do we even know if he is telling the truth? It could all be a trap!" Duncan questioned.
Jack sighed.
"I see that thing in my nightmares. Every time I close my eyes, vivid images of that monster killing Charizard appears. He has no reason to lie."
Duncan shook his head.
"As much as I want to punch you right now in the face… Let's get out of here." Duncan said to Jack.
Tom and Jargai also walked over.
"Count us in." Tom said shakily with the thought of encountering that thing again.
The three other soldiers also walked over and nodded at Jack.
Jack turned to the Orrean local.
"Where is your town?"
They waited the night so they got the element of surprise plus so it wasn't too hot.
Tom clutched on to the Orrean terrorist as he directed him where to go.
The town soon came into sight with the sight of corpses on the ground.
Jargai and Duncan crawled forward to grab some spare guns on the ground.
Jack led the sneak into the town as it was bare silent, which to him was the scary part.
He turned to the Jargai.
"Ask him where his home is." Jack told his crewmate.
Jargai explained the questioned.
"Easta! East!" the man told them, pointing in the direction.
Jack just nodded as they continued the sneak.
After a few minutes of carefully, sneaking around, they came to a main road where more corpses were visible, however, a human was walking around on the main road.
"Who the hell is that?" Duncan muttered.
Jack gulped his fear.
"HEY!" he shouted as he pointed the gun at the human.
Due to it being dark, the man turned looking for the source of the sound.
"HEY! OVER HERE!" Jack shouted again.
"What are you doing?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Tom questioned Jacks sanity.
The man twirled around as Jacks jaw dropped. He was covered in vines with thorns piercing into his body with his face fully wrapped up.
"What in the world is that shit…" Jargai muttered.
"AGRHH!" the monster like human roared as it charged at Jack.
Jack pulled out a shotgun he found and blasted the man in the leg. He fell over but quickly got back up to find that where the shot hit was now covered in vines and continued to charge.
"SHIT!" Jack yelled as the Kalos soldiers appeared out of hiding and fired at the man but the same result just happened.
Doors to a town hall opened up with Orrean locals calling out.
"THIS WAY!" Jargai called out as they all made a dash for the safety of the indoors.
The soldiers and the man rushed inside the hall with the doors being slammed shut and the slamming intensifying outside.
The man rushed over to his wife and young child but the soldiers were greeted with a plethora of guns.
"On tha grounda!" a man yelled as the soldiers dropped to the floor. The man they captured looked at them sympathetically. "You did this!"
"We did nothing!" a man yelled as the gun was now placed right on his head.
The man they captured yelled out and waved his arms and screamed at them.
The guns were lowered and the man signalled at them.
"Helpa!" he said pointing at Jack.
"What the hell was that?" Jack demanded.
"Last nighta… A demon attacked and possesseda men and women in the towna!" a man with semi good English spoke and explain.
"Do you have a phone?" Jack asked, doing the phone hand signal.
The man nodded.
"Right. We will free them if you give us a phone and cooperate with us. Understand? Putting our past aside so we can both live…" Jack said slowly.
The man hesitated until a large bang and moan occurred.
"Okaya! Okaya! Phona!" the man demanded as Jack was handed the phone. He gulped and dialled in a number.
(Kalos)
It was in a customer services phone that was in the parliament building of Kalos. A lady picked up the phone.
"Good morning. You are calling the Kalos parliament building. Lucy is my name how… can… I help…you…" the lady started to talk but slowly stopped as she heard the news across the phone.
She was quickly escorted to the military command room where the President, Pierre Moore and secretary of defense, Samuel North were located.
Samuel turned to the lady.
"Who are you and what is the meaning of this?" he snapped.
"Si-si-sir! SIR! I have someone on the phone that claim they are survivors of the Orre base attack!" she screamed as everyone turned to the women. Pierre and Samuel looked at each other as the phone was connected to a computer.
"HELLO!? I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF WAR AND I HAVE TO WAIT FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!?" A voice Samuel knew all too well.
"Ja-Jack?" he stuttered.
"Oh hey Dad! Surprised I'm still alive? Didn't bother looking for us?!" Jack snapped.
"How…" he just muttered.
"I'll explain later if there is a later. We are located in the Orrean town of BIest." Jack explained.
"Are you captured?" Pierre asked the survivor.
"No Pierre. We are allies for now!"
"JACK! Respond to your President as-"
"DAD! Right now, can't really give a fuck! I've been through to hell and back!" Jack snapped as Pierre signalled to Samuel to cool down. "Where is the nearest base as a source of transport and very, large missiles…"
"About 40KM west? Why?" Samuel explained.
Jack gave an odd look as Jargai looked at Duncan.
"Since when was another base in Orre this close?"
"Since the attack on the base and the start of the third world war." Pierre explained.
"NO! PULL OUT! We are starting a war on a nation that didn't attack us. It was no terrorists, it was a thing!" Jack yelled. "We have photo proof!"
Pierre looked at Samuel.
"We will get those missiles their soon. Hang tight." Samuel told his son.
"Thanks Dad." Jack said sarcastically as he hung up.
"Alright. For the next few hours, we are allies. We clean out these things and you let us leave freely." Jack announced.
Meanwhile, on a hill overlooking the whole town, was the same creature that attacked and destroyed the Kalos base.
It released a high-pitched sound and then chuckled to itself.
Every single body that was on the ground with vines wrapped around them got up and walked to the town hall.
A woman inside looked through the window and saw the swarm. She screamed loudly.
"Shit…" Jargai swore as he looked outside.
"Well men. If this is our last hurrah, let's make it a good one then." Jack announced.
"Amen to that." Duncan yelled out as he cheered.
"Get a flash grenade ready!" Jack commanded. "Open the doors on my count!"
A man grabbed the weapon and got ready to chuck it.
"THREE! TWO! ONE! GO! GO! GO!" Jack shouted.
The doors flung open as the swarm charged at them but the grenade was thrown and a bright flash illuminated the whole outdoors. Anyone with a gun began to fire to push them back.
Jack jumped over the side.
"HEY! OVERHERE!" he yelled.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Duncan yelled as he fired at the possessed humans.
Jack caught the attention of three as they turned to him and chased him. Jack out sped them and released Larvitar.
"Ready buddy?" Jack asked his Pokemon.
"TAR!" Larvitar said aggressively.
The three humans ran around the corner as Jack shot one in the head, killing him instantly. A possessed woman now lead the run but Larvitar fired a rock throw at her. She fell to the ground as Jack kicked her head as hard as possible.
Somehow, the third managed to get behind the soldier and punched him in the back of the head. He fell back against a wall as two vines surrounded his neck.
"Are you a member of the Kalos military that survived the attack!?"
Jacks eyes widened as he was unsure if he heard right.
"Wh-what!?" was all he muttered.
"ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE KALOS MILITARY THAT SURVIVED THE ATTACK!"
"Yeah…"
"WHERE IS IT!? Where is the source of the wormhole!? WHERE IS AETHER!"
The man covered in vines picked Jack up by the neck with the vines as he struggled to find air.
Larvitar watched in fear but had to help his trainer.
He formed some sharp rocks and threw them at the vines, cutting one in half. Jack did the rest as he found air and launched a powerful kick to the groin of the man. Despite being covered and possessed by vines, he still felt the pain no man shoulder ever fell. Jack smashed his foot into his face before pulling out his shotgun and delivering the finally blow straight to the head.
"Thanks for the info…" Jack muttered.
"Golduck! Surf!" Duncan shouted as the Kanto Pokemon made the wave to push back the tormented humans.
Up the hill watching was the source of the terror. It lined up one of its vines, aiming at Jargai and fired a small thorn into him. He grunted from the slight twitch as the beast laughed to itself, before eventually returning underground.
Tom fired at the creatures until he heard a loud engine. Looking up, three fighter jets were flying to the streets.
"MOVE! MOVE!"
Anyone that was on the main street moved to the side as each plane fired a missile each, destroying the main street but killing nearly all the possessed.
"YEAH BOY!" Tom shouted, fist bumping the air.
Jack appeared coming the same way where he was chased. The smoke didn't fade away but was less thick as it was now obvious that nothing live the attack as they were either dismembered or intact.
Two helicopters flew downwards not far from the town.
"I want those men to be returned here asap. Contacted all bases to not attack until we figure this out." Samuel said a man at a computer back at Kalos. He looked back at the screen.
"Bring my son home."
Tom and the other two soldiers led the way to the helicopter as they evacuated the town. Jack, Duncan and Jargai were just behind them. The three soldiers that were ahead got inside as the chopper began to lift off.
Located on top of a house, was another man that was inside the town hall during the time when they activist group and the survivors agreed on a temporary truce. He however didn't agree with it as this 'truce' was against everything they had fought for. He lined up a rocket launcher at the helicopter which had Tom and the other two soldiers in it.
Jack saw this in the corner of his eye.
Before he could say anything, the missile had hit the aircraft cleanly as it exploded instantly.
"NO!" Jack screamed as Duncan and Jargai stood in horror, with the sudden realisation they were the last known survivors now.
Every back in Kalos watched in silence.
The terrorist on top of the roof quickly placed another missile into the launcher, readying to fire again until he heard two shots fired into the air. He turned around to find four men surroundings him.
"Let them go." one of the town and activist members said. "Get up."
The three remaining soldiers quickly ran to the other helicopter and took off instantly to the nearest base, processing what had just happened.
But they were ready to reveal the truth of the base attack to the world.
Authors note: Sorry for the wait and such a short chapter. I don't know why but my Laptop decided to bug out for a few days but now seems to be fine.
A little bit of a messy chapter but I didn't want to leave you guys waiting for another few days.
I have started University again as well so it might be a little slower but hopefully the length of this wont happen again.
Yes, this is semi based off the transformers scene in the first movie but that is that.
Wow, 701 reviews now... Words can't describe how I feel about that. Never would have thought I would reach that so as I've already said, thanks for all the support.
About Questions now. I try to answer them as best as I can but if it is plot related, then don't expect an answer as a chapter will come eventually to explain it. Pokemon suggestions is fine because the bulk of his team is set but that's not to say more can't be added. I just wont say if I'll consider them or not because that will ruin the surprise.
If I answer, means its not really spoiling anything. If I don't, means already been asked or plot related.
Is Ash or Gladion going to capture that male Kirlia.
One of them will, yes. Who? Find out soon.
Will you be introducing some of ash's other pokemon? like squirtle, pidgeot, or butterfree?
This only dawned a while back on me that some of his old mons weren't with him so this is a maybe. Not ruling it out yet not saying it will happen but it could.
So I think that is it. So as always, review, Suggest or PM me. Spectre out!
