Chapter 13: Kane draws near
"Ha ha ha so there you fool are" The Pokemon said. It was a shiny Ninetails only far larger than any Ninetails. It was the size of the legendary Pokemon of Hoenn known as Groudon.
"Who the heck are you?!" Blade shouted
"I am Scurge, a faithful servant of Lord Kane, and he has ordered me to steal the Gem of Darkness from you fools!" Scurge responded his voice shook the ground.
"Kane is never going to get the Gem!!" Shadow yelled and blasted Scurge with a barrage of Shadow Balls. They did not so much as even scratch him.
"Ha ha ha, you really thought you could touch me with those pitiful excuses you call attacks? Ha. Lord Kane has given me THIS" Scurge roared "With its power at my disposal you fools cannot so much as even scratch me"
"That's the … Magno Metal!!" Blade shouted then used Brick Break on Scurge's face sending him flying.
"How did you knock me so far back? What are you anyway?!" Scurge roared.
"I am Blade! The Hero of Legend" Blade responded. "And you're going to hand over the Magno Metal before I beat it off you!"
"Hah you beat me? I don't care if you are a 'Hero' compared to be your nothing but a ZERO! And this Magno Metal belongs to me now! " Scurge laughed
"We'll see about that" Blade said and used Flash Cannon on Scurge dealing critical damage along with a STAB boost. "That Magno Metal belongs to the Scizor of my home forest! What in hell gives you the right to call it yours!?" Blade said and used Brick Break on Scurge's stomach piercing through it. Blood spilled everywhere. Blade then burst out from the other side of Scurge's body. "Still not going to give it up?" Blade asked with anger filling his voice.
"How it possible, this thing was supposed to make me stronger!!" Scurge roared in searing pain due to the hole in his stomach and then his eyes closed as he died of blood loss. Blade took the Magno Metal once it came off Scurge's body and reverted back to its normal form instead of covering him like armor.
"What the …" Blade looked at the Magno Metal. It wasn't making him evolve. "What's happening, why isn't the Magno Metal working!!?"
"Let me take a look" Shadow said and took the Magno Metal out of Blade's hand. "You're lucky it's still alright but you damaged it beyond belief. It needs serious repair …"
"No … No … after all that trouble and all those years of searching, it's not even working?!" Blade shouted.
"The forest you came from … someone from there must know how to fix it …" Shadow said. "An old Scyther they call the "Red Claw" is the one you need to talk to, he can fix the Magno Metal"
"I see … I'll need you to take me there, it's way too far for me to get there and come back before he arrives…. And I sense his power, he's getting closer by the minute" Blade said
"Alright just hurry up and find Red Claw once we get there, once you evolve you'll be able to get here fast." Shadow said and they both teleported to the forest Blade called home. Shadow gave Blade the Gem of Darkness and then warped back to Daichi and the others.
