"I am the former secretary of Poke-Earth: Linoone, and I wish to talk to you about what is going on." Said Linoone
"Recently, Senator Florges has begun an attack to try and take over the remaining populace by using Steel type Pokemon with Bio-Hazard suits."
Everyone in Electrophos' shelter were stunned at this revelation, with the exception of Tyranicape, Arceus, Gothinite, Palkia, Roserot and Darkrai, who were just standing there.
"We have decided to inform you of this because we need your help to stop him. Without your help, Florges and his army would be unstoppable. So I beg you all who are still out there to lend a hand and stop this threat."
"Inside the shelter lie two rooms: A room that gives you a substance, making you immune from the effects of radiation and lack of oxygen, and a room that will serve as protection for anyone who doesn't want to fight. That second room is strong enough to survive a dozen nuclear bombs, and will be able to supply you with the necessities for an infinite amount of time. The two doors are south of the centre of all the shelters built, so make your choice."
"We apologize for our treatment of you, and if we survive this, we will try to make amends." Said Linoone as the broadcast shut off.
"Okay, that's it for Electrophos' shelter."
"Good, now it's time to move onto the next shelter." Said Vaporeon
Back at Electrophos' shelter, the survivors were contemplating what to do. Several of the survivors decided to hide, stating that it's the best method.
"I don't know about you guys, but I am going to fight." Said Gothinite
"Are you nuts!" shouted Palkia
Gothinite then turned around to face Palkia
"Listen. Hiding from this threat isn't going to make it go away. I would rather die trying to make a difference, then hiding like a coward in a bunker, waiting for death."
"I'm in too." Said Tyranicape
"Likewise. Hiding like a bitch isn't my style." Said Arceus
"No way you can do this alone bro, I'll join." Said Darkrai
Darkrai then noticed that Roserot was crossing her arms in silence.
"Roserot?"
Roserot then sighed.
"Oh what the hell, I'm in too."
"You guys are crazy, you know that." Said Genesect
Gothinite then smirked at Genesect's comment.
"What's wrong Genesect, don't you want to have a little fun?"
"Fun. You think that possibly dying is fun!"
Gothinite then pulled her scythe out of her spine, scaring a few people around her.
"Ya, especially when you're the one doing it."
She then walked over to Genesect.
"And I know you loved doing it back then, didn't ya."
Genesect then smirked.
"You're insane, you know that. But then again, so was I back then. Allright then, I'm in." said Genesect
"Excellent. Palkia?" said Gothinite
"Fine."
She then looked at Gothinite with a cold glare.
"But I am only doing this because I want to beat you at killing the most of those guys' soldiers."
"Fine by me."
She then put the scythe back in her spine, as they went to prepare for the battle.
At Ampheon's shelter, the message Linoone had given them had ended mere moments before, and the survivors were discussing what to do.
"Of course, I am going to fight. No way am I going to let that Senator win." Said Ampheon
"That's good Ampheon. But you're not alone on this, I will assist." Said Pyroar.
Ampheon was silent for a few moments as everyone else left.
"Listen Pyroar, I appreciate the offer, I really do. However, I think its best you stay behind."
"Ampheon, there's no way that you're going to fight this alone. You're one of the only few people I have talked to since this whole mess that has kept my sanity stable aside from my son."
"That's my point. If you die, your son will only have his dad left. If you love your son that much, you should know that at his age, you are his moral compass."
Pyroar didn't respond to Ampheon's comment, but Ampheon did see that Pyroar was crying.
"Pyroar, what's wrong?"
"Mom, are you okay?" said Litleo grabbing his mother's leg.
"Son, can you step out for a few minutes."
"Okay…"
Litleo left the room for a bit so that Pyroar and Ampheon could talk.
"Okay Pyroar, your son is gone, what's the matter?"
"Ampheon. I told you before about my addiction before, but there's something I could not tell my son."
"His dad…"
Ampheon had a horrified look on her face after she heard what Pyroar said.
"Oh my god, but what happened?"
**FLASHBACK**
In the remains of Salt Lake City, Pyroar and her family were walking through the town, covered in blood, remains of buildings, and dead bodies.
"This place is ruined." Said
"Agreed" said Pyroar
"But at least our son is safe."
Litleo was sleeping on Pyroar's back, tied up with loose rope so that he can breathe and stay on his mother's back without falling off.
"He sleeps so quietly. Where does he get that trait from?" asked
Pyroar then giggled
"Probably you."
The male Pyroar snickered in response.
"There's a shelter around here somewhere, one designed for Fire Types. Once we get there, we should be able to survive this disaster."
All of a sudden, two poison arrows appeared in front of them, scaring Pyroar, and causing two Weaviles to appear from the roof of a small house, wielding bows.
The first Weavile was a male, but colored Shiny and had a huge scar across the front of his chest.
While the second Weavile was a female, but had her regular colours , and a giant red gash across her right arm.
"Hand over ya goods and we shall let ya go." Said the male Weavile
"We don't have anything." Said Pyroar
"Well then, it looks like we'll have to get it the hard way." Said the female Weavile
They both started shooting arrows at the two Pyroars, forcing them to jump and avoid the poison in the arrows.
The male Pyroar shot a Fire Blast at the two Weaviles, incernerating the poison arrows on the ground. But the two Weaviles dodged the blast.
"You little brat, you're going to pay for that!" said the female Weavile
The female Weavile dashed at the female Pyroar with a Shadow Claw aimed for her chest.
As Pyroar closed her eyes in fear, her husband jumped in front of her and took the blast, cutting part of his chest open.
"Fire Blast!" shouted the male Pyroar as he hit the female Weavile point blank, burning off the red thing around her neck, and giving her body 2nd degree burns.
Pyroar opened her eyes.
"NO!"
She ran over to her husband in tears.
"Pyroar..I'm sorry.." said the male Pyroar with tears in his eyes.
He then embraced his wife for a few moments before breaking it off.
"I'm not going to be able to survive this honey. You need to take Litleo and get out of here!"
"No. I'm not leaving you!. The shelter is not that far away, we can make it!"
"We would need to get away from these Weaviles, and they are too fast for us to hit them, and I know that I can't take another Shadow Claw attack like that."
Pyroar then lowered her head in sadness.
"I understand."
Her husband then lifted her head and looked her in the eye with a smile.
"I love you Pyroar."
They kissed for a brief moment before kissing his son on the head one last time.
"Now go!"
Pyroar ran off to the shelter with Litleo on her back.
"Oh no you don't!" shouted the male Weavile
He tried to dash at the female Pyroar, but her husband launched a Fire Blast at him, causing him to dodge and evade.
"Your fight is with me Weaviles!"
**End Flashback**
"After that, I told my son his father was trying to fix up our old city."
"Pyroar.. I'm sorry for what happened." Said Ampheon with a sad tone to her voice.
Pyroar then wiped her tears.
"I'll be fine."
"Pyroar, at some point, you need to tell your son the truth. I understand it'll be hard, but is lying the true answer?"
"Your right.. After this ends, I shall tell him the truth."
"Thank you Ampheon, I needed someone to vent my feelings."
"It's no problem. At this point I am glad I have someone to talk to in this wasteland." Said Ampheon smiling
After Pyroar retrieved her son, Litleo began to have some fun with Ampheon, such as running around, making funny faces at the other, etc.
"So Ampheon, you never told me about your family. What are they like?"
"My family?"
"Well my mother went through a nasty divorce, but she found a new husband a while later and we got along well. My dad is also caring; he helped me train under the military despite the regulations at the time. As for my brother, he's a decent sibling. We used to spar, play games and got along pretty well in terms of sibling relationships. But ya."
Pyroar then smiled as Litleo returned to her side.
"Well that's good to hear."
"Agreed."
