Ah, took a while, didn't I? I was banned from the computer for using it without permission. But I'm back now, and since I've been gone so long, I'm putting up my last 2 chapters! And Leone the Infernal, I put in a special at the back for you and all you Team Rocket fans!
The Pokémon Director went out of the room, shaken but happy. All of a sudden, the whole of Pacifidlog Town had surfaced.
The wind was cooling outside. Walking along the path to the south of the town, he suddenly realised that it was still moving. Not a good sign.
All of a sudden, he kicked a metal object in the darkness.
"Ouch!" He exclaimed, hopping on one foot.
What is that thing? It will suffer my wrath! He thought angrily, bending to look closer. Suddenly, he saw what it was. An anchor!
Had the citizens of Pacifidlog Town made it specially to keep Pacifidlog Town in place, in case this disaster happened? Then it would do! Bending down, he pushed with all his strength, but it did not budge at all. It only managed to give him sore hands.
Then, he heard a pair of footsteps from behind him. He turned to see Tate and Liza running to where he was.
"Help me get this into the water!" He exclaimed, pointing to the anchor. "And call for more help!"
Soon, all the leaders were at the anchor, trying to push it into the water. For its size, it was very heavy. But they wouldn't give up so easily, would they? Determined, they kept going.
All three watched as the leaders went forth and began to push at the first anchor. It refused to move.
"Don't stop!" Winona yelled to the people below. They kept pushing, and suddenly, it was at the edge, and it tipped off into the water with a loud plop.
"Move onto the next one!" Falkner shouted, pointing to the anchor in the east. There were gasps of surprise as they looked up and saw him, but they went on to the next anchor anyway. It, too, went into the water. Pacifidlog was slowing down.
They wasted no time and went to the next one.
Finally, after a lot of pushing and hard work, Pacifidlog had stopped moving. The water continued to ripple under the moon, and now, Falkner knew everything was really over. Pacifidlog Town was safe, as well as the world. Below them, Lugia sighed deeply. It landed on a narrow pathway in Pacifidlog, and lowered its body carefully.
"There," Lugia breathed. "Thank you for your help. Now you must return, and so must I. I'm glad to have met you, but now, it's time to leave."
Both gym leaders got off, and Lugia stood up. Then gazing up into the starlit sky, it took off and flew away. Falkner watched as its glowing figure shrank into a whit speck on the lightening sky.
Falkner finally tore his gaze from the sky and looked around at the almost empty town. A breeze blew from the west, where Lugia had had flown, and with it, a sense of calm and peace.
"Well, I guess all that's over," Winona whispered. "It was all worthwhile."
Falkner turned. Winona was studying the sky. He still remembered his immense hatred for her at the beginning of the journey. All that had dissolved into nothing throughout the journey.
As he looked upon her face again, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart. Was it possible? Did he really…? How was that possible?
"Hey, why do you look so…shocked?" Winona asked suddenly.
"Oh, nothing," he replied, looking down.
Suddenly, the gym leaders, Elite Four members and Champions came running towards them.
"I'm glad we're finally safe!" the Pokémon Director shouted. "And it's thanks to you two. How did it all happen? Did you find out?"
"Er…" Falkner began. He glanced at Winona, who smiled trustingly. Somehow, this made him feel more confident. He began to tell them about Mewtwo's plan and about how they defeated him, with Lugia and Kyogre. The others listened intently, amazed at the battle, at how they had raised Pacifidlog Town.
"Now, let us continue the discussion on how to get the energy for Hoenn's electricity generator," The Pokémon Director said, once they had finished explaining.
All of a sudden, Falkner had an idea. "Energy source?" He asked. "We could use the energy…of the Ocean Stone…I mean the Blue Orb!"
"Why, yes, of course!" Winona exclaimed. She turned to the sea and shouted, "Kyogre!"
In moments, Kyogre had risen out of the sea, its shiny blue back out of the water.
"Yes, Winona?" It replied. The others watched in awe.
"Could you do us a small favour?" She asked. "Could we…use the energy of the Ocean Stone to power Hoenn's new electrical plant?"
Kyogre seemed to consider, then it sank back down into the water.
"Oh well," Falkner sighed. "We'll have to find some other source. Sorry we couldn't help…"
All of a sudden, Kyogre rose out of the sea again, which glittered blue from the early dawn light. It jumped up, out of the water, and arched over their heads. And in its hands, it held the Blue Orb, or the Ocean Stone. It let go in midair, and Winona caught the glowing stone quickly. Kyogre landed in the water with a huge splash, wetting the people there.
"Thank you, Kyogre!" Winona shouted, her voice full of relief. Kyogre murmured with acknowledgement, before submerging itself again.
Winona held the shiny, glowing Orb in her hands. It glistened with magic, with an aura of energy.
"Oh, yes, and the energy can be turned into electricity simply by connecting wires to it!" came Kyogre's bubbling voice from underwater, just an echo.
