Robin stared up at me while I stared back. Was she afraid of me? I could feel her heart pounding. After a moment of suspense, I answered, Robin, it's still me. Remember? I promised you that I wouldn't change.
I felt her relax and then realizing that we were finally reunited, Robin ran up and hugged me. Well, it was rather an embrace for I was too big for her to wrap her arms around me. I had no arms so I just sat there as she hugged me.
"I thought they would've got rid of you. I wonder why they had decided to keep a magikarp." said Robin.
N helped me out. They were planning to dispose of me, but N persuaded a worker to place me in my own tank. I said.
"Well, thank you for saving me. See! You achieved your goal. You were able to save me from those team plasma grunts." said Robin.
Yeah, I guess that was true. But reality kicked in and I said, Robin, we have to go and retrieve your other pokemon.
"Oh, yes! Where are they?" asked Robin.
Hop on my back. Now that I'm a gyarados, I large enough to carry you instead of you carrying me all the time. I said.
Robin climbed onto my back and I slithered my way across the room. Even though my body was more suited for water, I still moved decently fast on dry land. I entered the room where all the cells were located. Here, it's in cell 34.
Robin went to cell 34 and opened it. Sure enough, her five pokeballs were there safe and sound. "Yes. I finally got back all my pokemon." said Robin happily.
Now should we focus on escaping? I asked.
Robin's face grew serious again and she said, "No. I still have one more thing to take care of. We have to go to the room where Zekrom and Reshiram are held captive."
I completely forgot about them. N said that Ghetsis was planning to take all of their energy and use that power to control Unova. We have to get there and stop them. I said. I exited the warehouse room and we were back in the hallway. Robin, you lead the way.
"Alright", said Robin as we ventured down the tunnels of the headquarters. However, we were stopped by the commander on the way there.
"Hey! How did you escape unharmed from all those people who were chasing after you?" asked the commander.
"Get out of our way! We have to get somewhere!" demanded Robin. It was clear she had had quite enough of team plasma.
"You escaped me countless times, Robin. Now, I will make sure to end you!" said the commander. "Liepard and Bisharp, come on out!"
"Krookodile and Braviary, I choose you!" shouted Robin.
"You think your pokemon will win against mine?" challenged Commander James.
"We don't think, we know!" said Robin. "Krookodile use Earthquake!" This was the first time I witnessed Krookodile use earthquake. It was much more powerful than Krokorok's earthquake. I felt the whole building start to shake and the commander was shocked at the amount of force as well. He tried to grab on to railings to keep himself from falling. I was part flying type, so I wasn't affected by the earthquake and Robin was safe on my bike. Braviary wasn't affected either. Robin picked her pokemon and moves wisely. All the collateral went towards the commander and his pokemon.
After the earthquake settled, Bisharp was out cold, but Liepard still had fight left, but not for long. "Brave bird!" shouted Robin as Braviary dove at Liepard with great speed and struck Liepard, sending it flying down the hallway and hitting the wall at the end. The commander was out of pokemon.
As the commander tried to get up and run, Krookodile slammed a foot on his chest to prevent him from moving. "Wait! Stop! Please don't kill me! I beg you!" plead the commander. But it was of no use. He raised his claw, ready to finish off the commander.
"Stop, Krookodile." said Robin calmly just before he was about to dig his claws into the commander's face. "Let's move on and get to the legendaries." said Robin. Krookodile obeyed Robin and the two returned to their pokeballs.
"Thank you! Thank you for being merciful." said the commander. As Robin walked by, she looked at the commander with cold-hard eyes.
"I didn't let you go because of mercy. When you began begging, I could see all your loyalty and morals leave you. You aren't worth anything anymore. It would just be a waste of strength to kill a useless thing like you." said Robin. I was shocked at Robin's statement. The commander was a horrible person, but even I thought that Robin was borderline cruel when she said that.
"Let's go." commanded Robin as we continued down the hall. I obeyed her as always.
Robin, are you okay? You don't seem like yourself. I said.
"On the contrary, John, you seem to be exactly like when you were a magikarp. Always worried about others." replied Robin. She didn't answer my question.
After many turns, we finally arrived at a large chamber, where Zekrom and Reshiram were held in large capsules. Their fighting spirit was completely gone. Both dragons looked tired and defeated inside those capsules. I noticed a tube that extended from each of their capsules that led to a large machine at the side of the chamber. It was labeled as the Energy Absorber.
"Well, I have to give you credit, Robin. You managed to make it this far. I'm impressed." said Ghetsis as he appeared from behind the machine with N by his side. "You were almost able to sabotage our plans, but you are too late. See these two dragons? They will be dead once I activate the machine."
Ghetsis walked up to the control panel and entered a bunch of directions. A large red lever appeared. "With one pull of this lever, I will get all the powers of these two legendaries. I will have the power to control the entire unova region. From there, it will be a stepping stone for me to conquer other regions, and I will soon have control over the whole world! Everyone will able me!" said Ghetsis as he laughed maniacally at his evil plan.
"Father, you said that your true goal was to help free all pokemon. You never said anything about world domination." said N.
"I'm sorry, N. I lied. And I have no use for you anymore. Go rot with that rebellious girl and weep as I became the master of this region!"said Ghetsis. N was shocked as he heard his father reveal his true colors.
I remember how I tried to warn him, but he didn't listen. I felt very sorry for him. In a fit of anger, N tackled Ghetsis to the ground. "I won't let you do this!" he shouted as he struck a blow to his father's face.
"You insolent little...Hydreigon, get N off me!" commanded Ghetsis. The dark dragon swooped down from above and knocked N to the wall. He hit his head and fell unconscious.
N! I shouted. In a burst of fury, I lounged toward Hydreigon and used aqua tail. I sent hydreigon smashing into the wall, but he got up with not much damage.
"Hydreigon, use dragon pulse!" commanded Ghetsis.
I was bracing for the attack when Robin yelled behind me. "Use ice fang." said Robin with a calm tone. Ice! Why haven't I thought of that. Now that I was a gyarados, I learned so much new moves. Despite my size, I moved fast swiftly, dodging the dragon pulse and brought myself within range of Hydreigon.
"Hydreigon! Use protect!" shouted Ghetsis. It was too late. Before he could form a shield, my cold fangs chomped down onto the hydreigon. The hydreigon roared with immense pain, but it then fell to the ground out cold.
"No! My strongest pokemon! How could you have defeated him?!" asked Ghetsis. In a desperate attempt, he ran for the lever, but Robin foresaw this. She summoned Gigalith and Gigalith knocked Ghetsis to the side and pinned him onto the ground.
"No! All my dreams! I was so close. Ahh!" yelled Ghetsis in annoyed. Gigalith held out a limb over his head to threaten Ghetsis that he will smash his face. That shut him up good.
All the obstacles were gone. Hydreigon was knocked out. N was uncouscious. Ghetsis was subdued by Gigalith. It was just me and Robin staring at the red lever. Because of the commotion, Zekrom and Reshiram broke out of their trance and saw that Team Plasma had been stopped.
Where are the other team plasma member's? Shouldn't they be coming by now? I asked.
It seemed that Brycen's call for backup referred to contacting the elite four and champion. Outside the headquarters, Alder stood overlooking the site where they had just been able to subdue all the grunts and their pokemon with the power of the elite four and the different gym leaders. All the grunts were forced out of the headquarter and many surrendered as the saw the situation team plasma was in. They were all shipped one by one onto trucks, where they were going to be sent to prison. Since everything was under control outside, Alder had to proceed into the base to find Zekrom and Reshiram.
Robin and I stared at each other. Are you here to save us? Asked Reshiram.
There is a key in Ghetsis's pocket that can unlock these two capsules. Said Zekrom. Gigalith heard and Ghetsis, knowing another threat was coming, reached for the key and threw it over to Robin.
Robin caught the key and stared down at it for quite a while. I wonder what she was thinking. Um, should I go use the key and unlock the capsules? I asked.
"No." said Robin as she threw the keys across the room. What! Why?! I asked in shock. What did Robin want now? Ghetsis was subdued and no one here was going to hurt us. If we free Zekrom and Reshiram, no one's power will be drained and Unova will be at peace again. What's the problem?
Please free us. Reshiram begged one more time.
Robin looked over at the two legendaries. She stared intenty at Zekrom. Zekrom eyed her back, not sure why Robin was looking at him like that.
"I…..I have to pull that lever." said Robin.
