Chapter 9

Yumi:
Yumi awoke from the dead silence of the small room. He lifted his head and scanned the walls. Everything was the same as when he went to sleep. The other pokemon made no sound at all. Yumi began to assume the worst for them. As much as he wanted to help them, he knew that he couldn't save them all. That fact only made him feel worse. What if one of these pokemon were Ryla? He wouldn't allow this to happen. He would give his life to make sure it didn't. His thoughts wandered to his eventual fight with Salo. The luxray was enormous. His only chance would have to be strategy. Salo seemed too powerful to be taken down with a simple quick attack, and he was smart enough to not be tricked by a confuse ray. At least not for too long. He looked at him. Salo was sleeping still. His large round ear would twitch every few seconds as he snored slightly. From this view point, he didn't look very menacing. Maybe Yumi had a chance after all.
Yumi then stood up as best he could and stretched his stiff limbs. His ears twitched as he shook himself awake. His yellow rings glowed softly giving him a little more light. He didn't know how long he has been here. He couldn't even tell if it was day or night. He began to wonder if Kee was alright. Was she able to find anything? What about the way that female human acted when she picked her up? She seemed to really be fond of Kee. Maybe she would protect her.
Yumi's ears perked up as he heard something outside. The door suddenly burst open and in came Kylo and Ania. Yumi looked at Ania, and saw that she didn't have Kee with her. She had a pained look on her face as if something was going to happen. Kylo came up to Yumi's cage and gave him a devilish smile.
"Its time fer a lil fun." He said as he lifted the cage. Yumi struggled to keep his balance as he was moved around. He looked at Ania again. She was kneeling to the the cage Salo was in. He was awake and was looking at her with a 'can we get this over with' expression, but he remained laying down. She placed her hand on the cage and mouthed something to him. The luxray's expression didn't change. Yumi was then lurched around as Kylo walked with him out the door. Ania followed close behind with Salo's rolling cage. The hall was something Yumi has never seen before. Everything was so straight. It was so unlike the randomness of the forest. Its like everything was organized and impossibly clean. A strange light traveled in a line across the walls and there were many more doors that were exactly the same as the one they just came out of. Were there more pokemon behind them? How many of them did these humans steal?
Kylo Shook the cage and Yumi stumbled. The human laughed at his fall and held him up with two hands. With a dark smile he spoke again.
"I can't wait to use 'im. I needed a new one anyway." Ania remained quiet. Kylo noticed and looked back at her. He saw that her head was down whie she was pushing the caged luxray. He frowned.
Somthin' wrong, Ania?" He asked actually sounding concerned. She looked up and hesitantly spoke.
"Do you... Do you think what we do is right?" She asked sadly.
"Whaduya mean?"
"I mean.. Mind wiping them. Taking away their memories. That seems so mean."
"C'mon, Ania. Their just pokemon. What memories could they actually cherish?" Ania looked shocked.
"How can you say that? Would you want someone taking away your memories? Everything that you hold dear to your heart?" Yumi thought about what she said. They were taking away Pokemon memories? Why? How?
"Can't say that I would enjoy that. I really like my memories. My old swing set in the back yard. All the food i could eat. Mm!" Ania smiled a bit. "But I'm not a pokemon. I actually have senses. What about them? All they do is act like wild critters runnin around."
"But even they have families. I'll bet this luxray had a mate and a few shinx cubs running around." Salo snorted which made Yumi chuckle. "What about that Umbreon you have? What if he had a family? I'll bet he had a kit or two. Maybe a mate that he loves." Yumi Thought about Ryla. How she must be worried. What if she did go searching for them? Would she be alright?
"That's not our problem Ania. If he has a family..." He held up the cage and looked Yumi in his eyes. "Then that means more pokemon for us to capture." Yumi bared his fangs at him. His rings began to glow as his anger boiled inside him.
"I won't let you near my family.." He growled menacingly. All Kylo heard was poke talk. Salo looked at the angry Umbreon. He saw a flame in his eyes that almost made him jump. The little fox pokemon had fight in him. Maybe he would be a worthy fighter.
"Kylo.. please don't.." Ania pleaded. "I think he can understand you." Kylo smiled.
"Even better."
They continued down the long hall. They would make an occasional turn as they moved toward their destination. Yumi's heart pounded with anger. How dare this human threaten his family. He didn't hate humans, but this one. If this human was serious about what he said, then Yumi could never forgive him. Ania on the other hand seemed to have remorse for what she was doing.
"Yumi." Salo called to him. Yumi shot his red eyes to him and remembered that he wasn't the enemy. "They said they were giving pokemon a mind wipe. Do you know why?" Yumi shook his head.
"They can't control a wild pokemon with force. They need them to be as obedient as possible. A pokemon with no memory has no reason to fight back. What ever it goes through, it will think it was right." Yumi looked shocked. Was this what they were doing to pokemon? What were these humans planning? What about Kee? Did they steal her memories? Is that why they didn't bring her back? No. It couldn't be.
Soon they came to a door much larger than the rest. Kylo looked down to Yumi.
"Take a good look, ya hear? It'll be the last thing you remember." He said as he pushed open the door. Inside was a great machine. It stood as tall as the room and was nearly as wide. Atop it was a glass casing that was clouded in fog. It seemed as if there were something trapped inside, but the fog was too thick to tell. Below the glass were smaller cages. They were attached to to some kind of wire that led to the base of the glass above. Yumi took in the sight. He looked at the glass above and tried to see what was inside. A blue tail brushed against the side of it, and as quickly as it showed, it was shrouded by the fog again. What could that be?
"You like what you see?" Kylo asked. Yumi looked at Ania who was taking in the room. It must've been her first time in here. She looked at the glass filled with fog. She must've had the same thought that he had. She looked at Kylo and asked.
"What's that, Kylo?" He turned to her and let Yumi's cage drop. The umbreon shook as he violently hit the floor. Salo looked on and let out a growl.
"This, lil Ania, is the big catch!" He started. He went over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He then brought her closer to it. She looked at the machine with a mixture of curiosity and horror.
"You know good and well that we wipe the memory of pokemon." Ania looked at him and nodded. Kylo smiled. She looked surprised and looked back at the machine.
"We use this?" she asked in a gasp. Kylo's smile got bigger.
"Don't you worry yer pretty lil mind. It doesn't hurt em. At least not if they don't resist." Yumi looked on and knew what he could be in store for. Yumi looked at Salo who was anxiously standing in his cage. Its like he was waiting for something. Yumi looked back at the humans. Ania looked at the glass piece again.
"What's in there?" She asked. Kylo looked and smiled.
"You remember the stories of Sinnoh?" He asked. She looked at him and nodded. "The three lake guardians of Sinnoh. They all reside in the three lakes spread out over the land." Where was he going with this? He then went over to a control panel and pushed a few buttons. "Deep inside Acuity Cavern, There was a legendary pokemon. Its name..." He pointed to the glass and Ania looked. She gasped at the sight. There was a pokemon in there. It was greyish blue and had two long leaf like tails encrusted with red gems. Its face was yellow and its head was a brain like helmet with a red gem on its forehead. Its eyes were closed and it seemed to be in a state of pain. There were wires attached to to its body and they seemed to be hurting it.
"Is Uxie." Kylo finished. Ania looked on in horror. She felt her eyes begin to fill. Yumi looked at the hurting pokemon. This was how they wiped the pokemon memories. They used Uxie. Yumi felt anger build in his chest. This was too far. They had to get that pokemon out of there.
"This particular pokemon has has knowledge beyond anything we can imagine. Legend says that if you look into its eyes, a few days later you lose all your memories." Ania looked at the poor legendary. It was almost as if she felt its pain. She looked back to Kylo.
"Why are we doing this to it? Its hurting! Cant you see that?!" Ania let her tears fall and she tightened her hands into fists. Kylo's smile vanished and became a dark frown. Ania gasped at his sudden change.
"What's gotten inta you? You act like ya care for the little runt!" He barked a her. She turned back to Uxie and stared at it. The legendary seemed to struggle against its restraints. This wasn't right. This is not what Ania wanted to do.
"I didn't know..." She whispered. Yumi saw her tears and felt that she really did care for pokemon. Maybe she had a bond with Kee.
Kylo came up behind the crying girl and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Why'd you join Team Nebula?" He asked her. She looked at Yumi. She saw the look he gave her and she knew what he wanted. He just wanted to go home. Uxie was in pain. Maybe it just wanted to go home too. Why did she join this team?
"I Joined for reasons I didn't understand. I felt angry and blind and at one point, I hated pokemon and trainers. But now that I've had time to calm down and see what pokemon really were, I realized that my reasons were wrong and childish." Kylo listened. Ania let more tears fall and her voice became stronger. "I Began to bond with them and I saw that there was nothing to hate about them. Why I joined doesn't even matter anymore. I don't want to hurt pokemon anymore." She then pushed Kylo down and ran to the control panel. Kylo jumped up and started after her but was stopped with an intense jolt running through his body. He collapsed on the floor with a painful crash. Ania looked at the source of the electric charge and saw Salo outside of his cage. Her heart began to pound. How did he get out? What was he going to do? He let out a stern growl and nodded at her. He wanted her to free Uxie. The luxray then went over to Yumi's cage and smashed the side to let him out. Yumi leapt out and looked at Salo.
"Thanks." He said. Salo nodded. "Do you still want that battle?" Salo looked up to the suffering legendary. He then looked at Ania who was struggling to work the control panel.
"It can wait. We need to help her." Yumi nodded with a smile. They both went over to Ania who was now in panic. She had no idea what to do and pushing random buttons only seemed to make things worse.
"I don't know what to do!" She shakily whimpered.
"LUXRAY!" Salo shouted. Ania looked at him and saw his fur bristling with electricity. Ania and Yumi backed away. With a loud roar, Salo shot a thunderbolt at the control panel. The electricity buzzed and sparked against the buttons. Finally the panel exploded with a loud burst. Suddenly after, a screeching alarm blared in the room. Ania covered her ears and she yelped at the unbearable noise. Yumi looked at the glass and Saw that Uxie was out cold. The glass was cracked but still closed. Yumi summoned his energy and let his eyes glow white. A pink aura surrounded the glass and shattered it. Still enveloped in the aura, the glass pieces slowly spread out and away from the legendary. Yumi then closed his eyes and the glass fell to the ground around the machine. Uxie lay unconscious were the glass once stood. Ania looked up and gasped. She then climbed up the machine and softly picked up the grey blue pokemon. It cringed in pain and was limp. Its arms were bruised and so was its body. Ania climbed down and craddled the legendary in her arms. Was this what she was helping them do?
"How could they?" She whispered. "How could I?" Uxie gave a little noise that made Ania's heart flood with relief. It was okay. Thank Arceus!
Suddenly the door burst open and in no time the room was flooded with Nebula grunts. They surrounded Ania and the pokemon. Yumi and Salo bared their fangs, ready for an assault. Ania stared down the oncoming crowd. Yumi couldn't see a way out. They were trapped.
"Stand down." Came a deep voice from behind the grunts. Ania gasped. The group made way and a tall man made his way toward them. Salo began to growl as electricity surged through his body. The man stopped in front of them. His face had the most serious and if you will dangerous expression that a human could have. His hair was a hint of gray and his eyes were black and lifeless. Its like he never once smiled in his life. He wore a black suit that had a Crimson N on the sleeve. Yumi could feel an angry aura coming from him, but his expression didn't show it. Ania looked at him with a fearless gaze.
"I see that he decided to show you." The man began in his deep voice as he looked at Kylo who was being helped by two other grunts. Ania held Uxie closer.
"Why did you lie to me?" She demanded. "You told me that you loved pokemon. You said that Team Nebula was different from the others." The man looked at her and replied.
"I told you nothing but the truth. I do love pokemon and I want nothing more than to see them thrive in this world."
"Then how do you explain this?!" She looked at Uxie who was still laying limp in her arms. The man simply smiled.
"Phase one." Ania looked shocked.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"That legendary in your arms. Do you think that its the only one we have?" Ania looked down at the suffering pokemon. "We have more. Many more. Even if you take one, it will make no difference to us."
"I... I don't believe you.." She stammered. The man smiled. He then reached into his suit and pulled out two crimson red pokeballs. They were see through and inside was the mechanical works of them.
"Well, I suppose that I will have to show you." He then lazily tossed them in the air. A bright red light flashed from them as they opened and released what was lurking inside. The light materialized and what was revealed made Ania gasp.
It was Azelf and Mesprit.
The two pokemon weren't their normal greyish blue colors. Where was once grey was now a dark purple color. Their eyes were a deep red and held no emotion in them. They floated in place and awaited for orders. Yumi prepared to fight and so did Salo.
"Do you believe me now?" The man asked. Ania gave him a hate filled glare. He smiled.
"Retrieve Uxie.." He ordered. The two corrupt legendaries suddenly dissapeared. Yumi gasped.
"Protect her!" He barked at Salo. They both then backed up to Ania and searched for an attack.
"There!" Salo yelled. Yumi looked and saw a wave of dark matter hurling toward them. He jumped up and concentrated on his tail. It began to harden and shine into a metal material and with a final spin, he swung his tail at the dark ball and deflected it towards a group of grunts. They scrambled out of the way as it exploded against the wall. Yumi landed and jumped back in front of Ania.
"Thanks." She said to him. Yumi nodded.
"It's not over yet." Another one was launched at them. Salo released an electric ball at it and both collided and exploded with a loud boom. The force created a crack in the ceiling and small amounts of debris sprinkled down. Yumi and Salo fought off many more shadow balls as the Azelf and Mesprit released them from their hiding places.
"This can't go on!" Salo grunted. "Any ideas?" Yumi focused on where the energy blasts were coming from. He caught a glimpse of one of the legendaries right before a blast was shot at them. Just as quickly as it came, it dissapeared. They were using teleport.
"How long can you hold them off?" Yumi asked.
"I don't know!" Salo answered while blasting another shadow ball with electricity. "Do what you need to!" Yumi nodded. He then closed his eyes and concentrated. Everything around him grew silent and time seemed to slow for him. He felt for the life force of either legendary. He began to notice a pattern in their paths. One would make a stop at a corner to shoot a shadow ball. The other would stop in front of the man. Yumi waited for the right time. Right before one stopped in the spot he predicted, his eyes shot open and he bellowed at Salo.
"There!" Salo didn't hesitate as he released a powerful thunderbolt at the corner. The legendary, Azelf appeared right in front of the electric blast and was hit. It screamed in pain as electricity surged through its body. Salo stopped the attack and let the pokemon fall to the floor. Yumi turned to the man. He launched himself at him with a loud cry. The man looked on as the dark pokemon charged him. Suddenly, Mesprit appeared in front of him and Yumi crashed into it. The legendary was knocked across the floor and slid to a stop in front of The man. He looked at the pokemon with disgust.
"You're not finished." He calmly said. Mesprit struggled to its feet and began floating again. So did Azelf. They were both breathing heavily and the attacks they endured seemed to have taken a toll on them. However their expressions remained blank. Yumi and Salo were ready.
Azelf closed its eyes and released a wave of psychic energy at them. Yumi braced himself for the attack. Salo however was knocked off of his feet and was thrown at the wall behind them. He crashed to the floor and staggered to his feet, Ania was sitting on the floor, protecting Uxie from further harm. She looked at the luxray and shuffled over to him. She tried to touch him but he nudged her away. He nodded to Uxie and trudged back over to Yumi.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Feeling great." Salo replied with a grunt.
Ania felt Uxie stir in her arms. She looked at it and saw that it was breathing hard. It kept its eyes closed but still seemed to be looking at her. She felt her heart flutter. The pokemon lifted itself and turned to Yumi and Salo. It saw that its siblings were fighting them. They weren't themselves. It tried to connect with their minds, but was violently shoved out. What was wrong with them? Uxie turned to Ania. She felt something softly nudging at her mind.
"please..." She heard someone say in her head. It seemed distant and barely audible at all.
"Was that you, Uxie?" She asked aloud. The legendary nodded.
"Please... make them... stop..." The pokemon pleaded. Ania's heart clenched. How can she stop them? They were under his control. She stood to her feet with Uxie.
"Quasar, you have to stop this!" She yelled. He looked at her with a glare.
"I have no intention to. This is only the beginning of what's to come. Soon I will control every legendary in this world and when I do, everyone will bow down to me!" Ania was shocked. Quasar was insane.
Yumi looked at Ania. He saw that Uxie was awake and looking at their battle in horror. He couldn't let this continue. He ran over to the legendary and spoke.
"Can you stop them?!" He barked. Uxie looked down at him from Ania's arms.
"I can't link my mind with theirs. They are rejecting me." He heard in a smooth and high voice.
"They aren't in control of themselves. That man is using them!" Uxie looked at Quasar. It saw that he had two clear, red pokeballs in both hands. The umbreon was right. Uxie needed to break them if to free it's siblings.
"I need your help." The legendary then explained a plan to Yumi. The dark pokemon nodded and jumped back to Salo's side.
"I need you to distract them so I can get closer to the human." He explained while they dodged another wave of shadow balls. Salo nodded. He then jumped out and started to move in a strange way. It was as if he were making fun of them. The two legendaries began to shake with anger and their movements were getting sloppy. Yumi watched him and he felt a small surge of anger grow in him. He looked away from the swagger move and turned towards Quasar. The team leader was pointing his pokeballs at Azelf and Mesprit, trying to break them from their confusion. Yumi jumped forward and charged him. Quasar clumsily dodged and dropped the containment devices. Yumi caught them with psychic and used it to slam shatter them on the ground.
"NOOOO!" Quasar bellowed. Azelf and Mesprit fell to the ground, fainted. Their original greyish blue color slowly returned to them.
Uxie's eyes began to glow. Ania, Salo and Yumi was lifted off the ground along with Azelf and Mesprit. They all were surrounded by a white aura. Yumi's eyes widened.
"No, wait!" He started, but the aura flashed and they all dissapeared.
