Gothinite was shocked when she realized Genesect was a Kabutops the whole time.
"Why didn't I realize this sooner?" asked Gothinite
"No other Genesect I saw before him had the hunting style of a Kabutops."
She thought about what to do with this revelation for a few minutes before eventually shrugging it off.
"So what if he's a Kabutop, does that make him any different?"
She then began to experiment with her spells for a few hours.
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" shouted Gothinite in anger.
"There is no spell that can remove the nuclear radiation from oxygen!"
She then began to break down and cry.
"I can't believe this is happening. I was given one job, and I can't even do that!"
"How can I call myself a magician when I can't even save the people I love?"
"So that's it? Just because you can't solve a problem on your own, means that you're a failure? That's not the Gothinite I know…"
Gothinite wiped her tears and noticed Palkia behind her coming from the shadows, with dry blood near her rib cage.
"What happened to you?" asked Gothinite
"Long story. But not the point." Said Palkia
"So you're having trouble with this spell right?"
"Yes. No matter what I experiment with, it doesn't work." Said Gothinite
"What good am I as a magician if I…"
Gothinite got cut off mid-sentence before getting slapped in the face by Palkia.
"You listen to me Gothinite" said Palkia with an angry tone in her voice.
"You can't solve everything by yourself! Do you think with my powers of Space that I can accomplish everything with my powers? You're wrong. I'm not perfect, I can't solve everything and even I will mess up. Do you understand!"
Gothinite was covering up her slap mark with her left hand.
"Yes Palkia. But why do you care? We're rivals/enemies." Asked Gothinite
Palkia then sighed.
"Despite us being rivals/enemies, it doesn't mean I don't have respect for you or care about what you do. I'm happy that there is someone out there that can use extraordinary powers that aren't of the male gender. In fact, there are only a handful of us females that have this. But you and I are similar." Said Palkia
She then grabs Gothinite's mouth.
"We're both dragons. Need I go on!"
She lets go of Gothinite's mouth and walks back to pick up Gothinite's spell book and gives it back to Gothinite.
"Thanks Palkia." Said Gothinite
"No problem, now let's get started!" shouted Palkia
Back with Ampheon, she and the other survivors were digging forward to a shelter dozens of miles away.
"How are we able to breathe despite the radiation?" asked Omastar
"The air I pushed into the tunnel was oxygen without nuclear radiation. As for me altering the Earth? Simple, I was able to alter the Earth around us to send the nuclear radiation back up into the atmosphere." Said Ampheon
"That sounds stupid."
"Stupid? Yes. Was it helpful? Absolutely." Said Ampheon
"Anyways, I sense a shelter a few kilometers ahead. So when I give the command, dig up and I shall make the Earth shield to let us in."
Back at Electrophos' base, Tyranicape and Arceus were discussing their next plan of action.
"No matter what, we have to work together if we are going to get anywhere in this wasteland!" shouted Tyranicape
"After what happened to one of the shelters, it's clear that people are going to fight for survival, in a similar fashion to barbarians. So should we stick together and fight, or die for nothing!"
"But why should we! You caused the apocalypse!" shouted a Cloyster.
"You can argue that I caused the apocalypse all you want, but what matters is the here and now. If we work together and win this upcoming war, those who believe I caused this can fight me to the death and take my head. But until then, we have to work together to win this war!" said Tyranicape
The crowd then cheered.
