Everyone quickly climbed down the ladder.
"Don't worry Kel, I'm sure he's around here some." Hero said. Kel was frantically searching for the fallen Pokéball, but to no avail. Aubrey smacked Kel.
"How could you lose your Pokémon?!" She yelled.
"Hey. Hey. Calm down. Kel, don't worry, maybe we'll find him while looking for Basil?" Hero suggested. Kel nodded and everyone started climbing again. The ladder was long. There was an Ekans with a space helmet. Omori reflected. During the search for Hector, the feeling of Deja Vu, was gone. It's back now, but still. The climb was long. Very long. Eventually, they ended up in an underground area, before finally ending up above ground. Kel planted a flag.
"That's one small step for Kel, one giant leap for Kelkind!" He said, throwing out Spinda's Pokéball, releasing the Pokémon. Aubrey then noticed what the flag was as she finished climbing.
"Is that my Butt Certificate?!" She yelled. Omori and the three Pokémon reached the top now as well. Aubrey sends out Bun Bun, who tries to take the certificate, but Spinda stops it.
"Kel! Take it down!" Aubrey yelled.
"But look at it! So majestic…so beautiful…" Kel says, a single tear falling down his face. Spinda salutes. Hero finally reaches the top of the ladder, panting and exhausted.
"Hero! Make him take it down!" Aubrey yelled. Hero, who collapsed into the ground, puts a hand up.
"Hold…hold on a minute…I need to…catch my breath…" Hero said. Dolliv left its Pokéball.
"Alright. I guess it can stay…" Aubrey said. She felt a little bad for Kel because of the Hector thing. Omori helps Hero to his feet. They look around and see purple trees all around, and only two paths to go down. They go down one of the paths and reach a Campsite. There were some cars, a path, and Mari!
Everyone ran over to Mari, who was eating with her Pokémon. In the area was a floating mirror, a mailbox, a water trowel, a wanted poster, and some hay bales. Mari's Pokémon were also there. Mewo was on her lap. Vaporeon was relaxing in the water trowel, completely at peace. Flittle was in the nearby treed gathering berries. Pawmi and Illumise were playing in the hay. Krikitot was bothering the guy in the mailbox.
"Oh, hey guys! Isn't this place cool? Tourists from all over the galaxy come here for rest and relaxation. I also hear that the leader of the Space Pirates lives here!" Mari said. Everyone went to the picnic blanket and sent out their Pokémon. The Pokémon immediately began to take in their surroundings. Mari did notice one Pokémon was missing.
"Hey Kel, where's Hector?" Mari asked. Kel's face fell.
"I dropped his Pokéball and now I can't find it!" Kel cried. He ran up and hugged Mari, causing Mewo to run out of the way.
"There there, Kel. I'm sure you'll find Hector!" Mari said, comforting him. Kel cried for a few more seconds before letting go of Mari. He wiped away his tears.
"You're right. I need to stay strong. For Hector!" Kel said, dramatically. Hero chuckled a bit. The group ate some space-tube food. Then, they went up the stairs nearby. There was a draconic house, another set of stairs, a present shaped house, a path somewhere, some cars, and a mysterious stranger trying to hide behind a tree.
They disturbed him.
The Mysterious guy sent out Roggenrola, Kantonian Graveler, Carbink, and Amoura. The guy flexed and felt his best!
Hero sent out Dolliv.
Kel sent out Spinda.
Aubrey sent out Bun Bun
Omori sent out Ralts.
Roggenrola used Stone Edge, hitting Ralts. Spinda used Tackle on Carbink. It doesn't do much. Aubrey cheers on Omori. Omori feels happy? The right arm punches Kel. The left arm annoys Aubrey. Aubrey became Angry. Ralts used Pychic. It lifts Amaura into the air and launches it at the round guy. Amaura gives a death glare. Ralts is a little nervous. Kel's Ball flies everywhere, hitting the guy and his arms. Hero smiles. Amaura used Avalanche! Dolliv fainted.
"Oh no! Dolliv!" Hero yelled, returning it to its Pokéball. He sent out Sinistea. Bun Bun was badly hurt. Spinda was hurt bad, but Ralts managed to dodge! Bun Bun used Water Gun, spraying all opponents. It's Super Effective! Spinda gets lifted by Ralts before using Dizzy Punch on Graveler. Graveler used Rollout. Ralts dodged, but the others weren't so lucky. Meanwhile, the trainers were also fighting. Omori slashed wildly! The opponent stopped.
"Impressive. Let's see how you handle this!" He said, and he expanded. Then, he pushed Kel, turning the boy into toast! Everyone looked shocked. Hero grabbed the little toast, and held it protectively. Before also being attacked and turned Toast.
"Hero! Kel!" Aubrey yelled. The Pokémon saw this. Even more determined, they dodged Roggenrola's Earthquake thanks to Ralts. These Pokémon may be stronger, but they had numbers and friendship! Ralts levitated Graveler, slamming it fullforce into Roggenrola! Roggenrola fainted. Graveler used Rollout, fainting Bun Bun! Aubrey sent out Nidoran ️. Nidoran ️ charged at Amaura and used Headbutt! Carbink used Rock Tomb. Ralts fainted. Mawile entered the battle. Everyone was losing. Omori was holding the two pieces of toast, trying to protect them. The Pokémon knew they needed to win! Mawile used Bite! Amaura fainted. Carbink used Rock Tomb, before it was countered by poison Sting. Spinda used Dizzy Punch! Carbink became confused, fainting itself in confusion. Sinistea used Shadow Ball, defeating Graveler. Meanwhile, Aubrey and Omori were dodging Attack after attack. The enemy was about to hit Omori, when Aubrey shoved him out of the way! She turned to toast. Omori cradled the toast with a bow. Omori became Angry! Omori stabbed the enemy! Mawile bit the enemy! Nidoran ️ fired out Poison Stings. Sinistea launched a Shadow Ball! At the same time their opponents used his ultimate attack! Mawile fainted. Sinistea fainted. Spinda fainted Nidoran ️ fainted. Omori...
Omori did not succumb! The enemy was finally beaten!
He flew off. Omori grabbed the toast and ran to Mari.
"Oh no! Your friends became toast!" She said.
"Don't worry, I can fix it!" She said, Omori saw white and his friends were better, as were the Pokémon. Omori hugged his friends tightly.
"Omori, are you alright?" Hero asked. Omori just kept hugging.
"Man…that was a tough fight, but it looks like you won!" Aubrey said. Omori finally let go. He looked to his Pokémon. Mawile and Ralts were kinda confused, but it's a dream world soooo.
Ralts sensed a lot from Omori. Fear, relief, happiness. All so muted. It was almost as if the cliff-faced boy wasn't used to emotions. He was originally a coping mechanism, right? That's what they saw when he was created. But, he has sentience, and has had it for a long time. Why were these feelings seemingly so new to him? Ralts shrugged it off. The group headed up to the Anchor shaped house.
Author's note
Fight scenes are so hard to write. This chapter probably sucks. And I know I promised Spaceboy's team, but this chapter was getting long. So next chapter. Please give constructive criticism
