((Quick Recap: Malik escaped his holding cell but was captured again and was thrown off of the flying ship))
I yelled in horror as I plummeted towards the ground
"Come on, Malik! Think, think, think!" I panicked "Oh man, I'M TOO SCARED TO THINK!"
I was sure that this was the end for me until I felt something grab my shoulders. I looked up and saw Skarmory using his wings to glide us to safety
"Skarmory!" I smiled
It was kind of a rough landing but it was better than going splat. I jumped up and dusted myself off
"Skarmory! I owe you a billion!" I panted
"Skar!" Skarmory smiled
Tyler ran up with his Pokemon "Malik! Are you alright?! I saw you falling so I sent Skarmory to get you!"
"I'm okay" I nodded "Thanks, man. Wait, where are the others?"
"I sent them ahead while I dealt with Regirock" Tyler explained
"So you beat it?" I smiled
"Not exactly..." Tyler mumbled
"REGI!" Regirock roared storming up
"AHHHHH!" we all panicked and ran away
"I thought you took care of it!" I yelled
"I said, not exactly!" Tyler yelled back
"Not exactly means you didn't beat it but it won't be bothering us anymore!" I growled
"Instead of yelling at me, how 'bout you use some of your Pokemon, mine are exhausted!" Tyler demanded
"I can't! Cecil took them!" I confessed
"What?! Why?!" Tyler gasped
"Makes sense, considering I was a prisoner and all" I shrugged
I looked over and saw Cecil's fortress slowly descending from the sky
"He's landing?" I asked myself "Alright!"
I started making my way in that direction but slowed down when I heard someone shouting my name
"Malik! Malik, duck!"
I immediately hit the deck just as an Ice Beam shot over my head. I saw Brianna being chased by Regice. The Titan mainly aimed it's attacks at me. Brianna ran up and pulled me away by my leg. We crashed into Tyler but got right back up and ran off as Regirock and Regice started to catch up
"Brianna, where's Taylor and Mawile?" I asked
"They went ahead! I tried to hold off Regice but it beat all my Pokemon!" Brianna answered
"I'm useless without my Pokemon, I at least need to catch up to Mawile" I said splitting off from the two "You two find a way to lose these guys, I'm gonna catch up with the others!"
"Hey!" Brianna and Tyler growled
Cecil's ship had finally landed not too far from where I was. When I finally got there I came to quite the sight. Taylor was facing off against Registeel. Despite her bravery she wasn't getting very far. There was no way I could be of any help by myself so I decided my best bet was to sneak onto the ship and find my Pokemon. I snuck around and successfully got onto Cecil's fortress. As I ran through the halls I realized something, Mawile wasn't with Taylor like Brianna said. Where could she have gone?
"Help..." the voice from before pleaded
"This again..." I sighed "Listen, rather you're gonna tell me how I can help or I'm gonna start ignoring you"
"Help..." the voice continued
"I warned you" I deadpanned covering my ears and proceeding through the base
"Please help" the voice whimpered
I blocked it out "Ignoring, ignoring"
I recognized the area I was in and walked up to a door
"I hope I haven't used up all my luck for today" I mumbled
I opened the door and luckily it was the room with my Pokemon
"Yes!" I smiled
Before I could take a single step Machamp grabbed my shoulder and threw me back
"Ah!" I winced "Dude, how are you so quiet?"
Machamp rose his arms and got ready to smash me but a sudden gust of wind sent him flying. I looked over and saw Mawile at the end of the hallway. She must've came onto the ship before me and was looking around all this time
I ran next her "Thanks, partner!"
"Wile" Mawile nodded
Machamp came rushing in for an attack but put right back down by Mawile's Flash Cannon
"Good job, Ma- Whoa!" I gasped when Mawile jumped in my arms
My partner hugged me at the realization that I was safe. I laughed and hugged her back. After that moment I went into the room my Pokemon were in and reclaimed my team
"Sorry for the trouble, guys" I frowned putting on my belt and putting the egg in my backpack "It won't happen again. Let's go, Mawile"
Mawile grinned and nodded "Ma"
We retraced my steps back to the outside but it wasn't a happy sight
"Ah crud..." I groaned
Regirock, Regice, and Registeel were holding Tyler, Taylor, and Brianna. My friends were defeated and were at the Titans' mercy again
"Unbelievable" Cecil said walking up behind me
I turned around and glared
"Seriously, you are just... There are no words" Cecil smirked "You get thrown out of the sky and here you are. You really are special, Malik"
I called out all of my Pokemon "This ends now. Let my friends go!"
"Mmmmmm... No" Cecil shrugged and snapped his fingers
The Titans tightened their grips on my friends and they cried out in pain. My Pokemon went to try to help them but they didn't get far
"You know what, Malik? I like you. So I'll give you one more chance. You heard right. One. More. Chance" Cecil grinned
"You still want me to join you?" I glared
Cecil chuckled "Tell you what, I'll sweeten the pot. Join me, and I'll release your friends AND I'll let you write a list of everyone you want spared during-"
"During what? Your little temper tantrum?" I growled
"Call it whatever you want. Is it a deal?" Cecil asked holding out his hand
I slapped his hand away "I'd rather get thrown out of the sky again"
Cecil sighed "So brave. So persistent. Yet so very, very foolish... It's sad, really"
"I may be foolish... But you're still gonna lose" I smirked "Vigoroth! Nuzleaf!"
The two shot pass me and pinned Cecil down. I remembered the professor's words and where the lab where that weird cube was. I took off at full speed with Mawile right behind me while the others covered us. When we got there I saw two Magneton and a Magnezone guarding the artifact
"Of course..." I sighed setting my backpack down
Mawile decided to use herself as a distraction and ran around the room. Both Magneton chased her down. The only thing standing in the way of me and that cube was a four hundred pound living magnet. I decided to cut my loses and go for it. I charged right at the Pokemon but I was no match for the Electric-and-Steel type. When Magnezone got close I got back up and used it as a launchpad. I flew right over the stand with the cube, grabbed it, and rolled to a stop
"Oh yeah!" I grinned "I win, jer- Ah!"
The cube both heated up and electrocuted me causing me to drop it
"Mawile!" my partner cried out
I looked over and saw Mawile got zapped by Magneton and was now surrounded. Cecil made his way into the lab and took a look around
"You shouldn't play with other people's toys. Give it back please" Cecil said
I couldn't pick the cube up but I could still keep it away from him
"Fine. Play hardball. Magneton?" Cecil looked over at the Pokemon cornering my partner as they started to charge up
"Don't!" I pleaded
"Cube, please" Cecil smiled
I looked down and kicked the artifact at my enemy. He picked it up and it didn't even hurt him
"I see by the look on your face that your surprised. You see, I'm the who activated the cube so I'm the only one who can possess it" Cecil smirked casually tossing it up-and-down "Now... Magneton, Magnezone, let that pitiful Mawile have it"
"What?! We had a deal!" I growled
"I'm sorry, I don't recall making any deals. I asked for the cube and you gave it to me" Cecil laughed
Cecil's goons were about to mercilessly blast Mawile. She braced herself for the assault
"Mawile!" I yelled running over and covering her with my body just as they launched their attack "AHHHHHHH!"
I took most of the blast so Mawile wouldn't get hurt as much. When it was over I fell over and didn't move
"Mawile shook me to try to wake me up "Ma! Mawile!"
Cecil looked over me and noticed I was still breathing causing him to smirk. A short while later I felt a breeze on my face and woke up. My head and one of my arms were hanging off the edge of the ship as it flew through the air. I gasped at the thought that I was falling and backed away form the edge. I looked at my surroundings and was not happy. Each one of the Titans were standing on their on floating stands a few yards ahead of the ship. Mawile, my Pokemon, and my friends were all in some energy dome. Cecil was standing on the edge of the ship with his hands behind his back. He was holding a cane with the cube on it. I tried to stand up but I was in so much pain that I couldn't even do that
"Ah..!" I winced
"Malik..." Taylor worried
"How you feeling?" Cecil asked
"Like I just lost a fight with a Raikou..." I mumbled
"Figured as much. Tell me, Malik. Why? Why won't you join me?" Cecil wondered
"Because you want to destroy everything... This is my home. I won't let you destroy this region and everyone in it" I glared
"Fair enough. I want to show you that you're on the wrong side of all this" Cecil said
"Then what? You're gonna ask me to join you again?" I smirked
"Oh no. I gave you more than one chance which is a lot more than I gave anyone else. After you see this, you're all gonna beg for mercy" Cecil grinned "Regirock, Regice, Registeel, begin!"
The Titans charged up Hyper Beams and fired them in multiple directions. Wild Pokemon ran for their lives as the areas around them exploded
I looked over the edge and saw the horrible thing Cecil was doing "Stop this! Stop this!"
"No. This world has to learn it's mistake" Cecil deadpanned
I growled at Cecil. He backed away a little when he saw the anger in my eyes
"Give me that cube!" I yelled lunging at Cecil
I ignored the pain I was already in and tried to get the cane from Cecil. Mawile grew angry that she couldn't do anything then she got an idea. Mawile instructed my team to hit the barrier but concentrate on one spot. They began hitting the dome in one spot hoping to get somewhere. I managed to grab the cube knowing it would hurt me. A little shock and burn was nothing compared to what was going to happen to entire region. I held onto the cube and spun around. The cane became detached from the object and Cecil was thrown back alloying me to begin destroying the mind control artifact. I fell to my knees and began smashing the cube on the deck. No matter how much I hit the thing it wouldn't even get scratched
"Come on! Break! Break! Break!" I begged
On the last hit there was a large red shock that completely engulfed me. Suddenly all the pain was gone. When I opened my eyes everything except me was in black-and-white and had froze in place
"Help" the voice from earlier said
I slowly looked up and saw the Titans were standing around me. The Titans and I were the only things in color
"You..." I mumbled
"Finally, he's responded" Regirock said through some kind of telepathy
"All this time... It was you?" I asked "H-How?"
"Your Aura. You are spiritually connected to Pokemon" Regice answered "We've been trying to reach you ever since we were woken by that man"
"Please forgive us. This is not what we want to do" Registeel spoke
"I forgive you. Just tell me how to help" I said
"That vile thing in your possession, destroy it" Regirock explained gesturing to the cube
"I'm trying. This thing's indestructible" I frowned
"No, it is not. You just don't have the power to destroy it" Regice said bluntly
"You must find a way" Registeel pleaded
"I-I don't know what to do... What do I... Wait a minute" I got an idea
Back in reality I was motionless on my knees with my head down. The cube was just barely in my hands. Cecil walked over to me. He used his foot nudge the artifact out of my hands
"I applaud you" Cecil deadpanned reaching down to pick up his property but gasped when my hand shot forward and grabbed his wrist "What?!"
"You're gonna lose..." I mumbled
Cecil growled and snatched his hand away "You're barely conscious! Do you honestly believe you have the right to threaten me?"
I smirked "You're right. I have no right to say anything..."
"That's right" Cecil grinned
"Especially when my partner's gonna be doing all the fun stuff..." I whispered falling over
Cecil seemed confused by my last statement "What do you..."
There was a loud surging sound. Mawile was growling and opening a hole in the energy dome with her bare hands. Mawile was able to get out but the hole closed right after her escape
"Ma... Mawile..." Mawile snarled as her eyes glowed pink "MAWILE!"
"What in the world..." Cecil said stunned
"What's going on?" Brianna asked
"Malik must've transfered his Aura to Mawile before he passed out" Tyler concluded
"Should he have done that? He knows how Mawile gets" Taylor gulped
Machamp regained himself and made his way to the deck. The four-armed Pokemon didn't waste a second and attacked Mawile. My partner vanished into thin air when Machamp tried to grab her. Mawile came flying in like a rocket and heatbutted Machamp in the gut causing him to fly right out of the battle. The Titans stopped their assault on Hoenn and jumped onto the ship. Mawile immediately unleashed a huge Flash Cannon, knocking all three legendary Pokemon on their backs. Cecil ended up dropping the cube by accident
"Whoa..." the twins mumbled
"Cool..." Brianna added
I opened my eyes slightly and pushed the cube over to my partner before passing out again "Mawile... destroy that thing"
"Wile!" Mawile ran over and used a powerful Crunch on the object
Mawile was clearly hurt by the cube but she didn't let up
"No! Don't!" Cecil panicked
Mawile managed to completely break the cube into countless pieces. The Titans stopped trying to attack us and just looked around. They all simultaneously fired Hyper Beam at what looked like the control room
"Guess they're mad..." Tyler mumbled
"As long they're not mad at us" Brianna shrugged
Taylor noticed I was still passed out on the ground "Malik..."
Mawile panted and finally calmed down. The ship was starting to slowly fall out of the sky. Cecil explained that the backup thrusters would hold for a short time. I almost fell over the edge during the descent but Registeel caught me. My hat fell off and floated away in the process. The metal Titan went over to the others, torn open the energy dome, and used itself as something to hold on to so nobody would fall overboard. Taylor and a barely conscious Mawile held onto me. Regirock and Regice went over to the edge and jumped off
"What are they doing?" Brianna wondered
They landed on the ground and faced the falling ship. They minute for a moment and when the thrusters gave out the ship fell at a regular speed. When the fortress came closer to the ground the Titans went through with their plan. Regirock used a powerful Stone Edge and Regice unleashed a massive Ice Beam. The combined attacks were able to catch the ship before it crashed
"Thank goodness..." Taylor sighed in relief
Tyler realized Cecil wandered off somewhere "Hm?"
Registeel safely carried everyone to the ground. Taylor and Brianna layed me on the ground and Mawile slept next to me. There were some sirens in the distance and multiple police cars drove up. Officer Jenny and a countless policemen gathered around
"Now they show up" Brianna sighed
Prof. Birch ran up "Kids!"
"Professor?" Taylor asked "What are you doing here?"
"After I lost contact with Malik earlier I called... well everyone" Birch explained
"How'd you know where we were?" Brianna questioned
"A giant flying ship isn't too hard to spot" Birch shrugged
"True..." the girls deadpanned
Birch noticed someone was missing "Where's Tyler?"
"I'm sure he was just here" Brianna wondered herself
Back on the ship Cecil was running to his lab. He planned to get whatever he could and make a quick getaway. He was about to run out but stopped when he saw my backpack over to the side. Cecil picked it up and saw my Pokemon egg was in it causing him to grin
"You still lose, Malik" Cecil laughed
Tyler walked up behind Cecil and tapped him on the shoulder "Excuse me"
When Cecil turned around Tyler decked him with one punch. My friend picked up my bag and made sure the egg was okay
"That's for having us hunted. And I'll be taking this egg back, thanks" Tyler said walking off "Jerk"
Tyler walked out and met with everyone
"So the cavalry finally decided to show up. You missed all the fun" Tyler grumbled
"Sorry" Birch frowned
I stirred myself and saw everyone around me "Hey..."
"Welcome back" Tyler smiled
"Did we win?" I asked
"Oh yeah" Tyler smirked
Taylor and Brianna hugged me. Mawile was waken up and noticed I was okay. My partner remembered something and ran off
"Where's she going?" I asked
Mawile came back about a minute later with my hat
"Hey!" I smiled putting my hat back on "Thanks, buddy"
"Wile" Mawile nodded as she and the rest of my Pokemon huddled around me
Birch walked over to the Titans and stared at them "The Titans. I never thought I'd get to meet them"
"You're lucky" Tyler sighed
"Yeah, you to meet 'em when they're all calmed down. We had to run away from them" I glared
Tyler told the police that Cecil was still on the ship so a few officers went onboard to arrest him. Tyler then gave me my backpack and assured me the egg was safe
"Thanks, Tyler" I said looking at my egg "Sorry for putting you through all this"
The Titans started to walk off
"Hey, wait!" I called out
They all stopped and turned to me
I pulled myself off the ground and went over to them "I have to ask. I know I'm connected to Mawile through our bond but you said I'm connected to Pokemon, period. What does that mean?"
They all spoke in their normal Pokemon language. Mawile looked surprised and tried to explain but I couldn't understand a word
"I don't understand..." I frowned but perked up a second after "But it's okay. I was able to help and I'm content with that. I don't know what the three of you are gonna do now but if you ever need any help just come find me, okay?"
The Titans grumbled and walked off. Cecil and all of his Pokemon got arrested. Birch wanted to know everything that had happened so we spent the next couple days at a Pokemon Center getting better and telling our story. After we made sure everyone was okay we said goodbye to the professor and got ready to get back on our adventure
"Ready?" I smiled
"Yeah" everyone nodded
We gathered our things and got back on the road
