Brace yourselves for the final battle against Lance because we're about to see a pokemon battle never before seen in Broken! It's finally here guys! If you're wondering why it takes so long is because I was writing on my prequel version Broken Before, check that out if you can.
The girl in the white hat wearing a worn out light blue tang top and red miniskirt ran through the halls of the Elite Four, looking for a certain door containing her captured friends. Her eyes spotted the door she was looking for, B6. She hid herself against the wall next to the door and peek her head through the window and saw a red headed boy with his hands cuff above the crane with a rope, along with a guard that's holding a crank. The red headed boy looked weak and beaten with his eyes barely opened. The girl in the white hat looks down at her weapon; a dagger given by a surprise ally; she recalls that surprising event.
"Blue! What are you doing here!?" A girl fully naked with long chestnut brown hair asked as she covered herself with a blanket, still surprised from the incoming entrance. The light orange hair boy named Blue shrugs his shoulders.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I killed all the guards and saved you. Anyways there's no time to argue Leaf, here take these." Blue said as he tossed the naked girl a set of clothes. Leaf caught it and then looked up at Blue with a strange look on her face.
"Why do you have my clothes?" Leaf questioned and raised an eyebrow. Blue waves his hand around telling her to hurry up and get dress. Few moments later Leaf finished dressing her clothes and suddenly hugged Blue and kissed him on the cheeks; Blue blushed from the contact.
"Thank you Blue, I never knew you had it in you." Leaf happily said as she let go of the boy. Blue nods his head while looking down on the ground.
"Blue, you've got to help Red, he's in danger and he needs our help!" Leaf suddenly changed the subject and changed her tone in worries. Blue nods his head.
"I understand, but what are you going to do Leaf?" Blue asked while rubbing the back of his head. Leaf looks at him with a serious face and responded back.
"I'm going to look for my friends, Lyra and Silver; they're being held hostage and I've heard one of the guard saying one of them was being held in door B6." Blue sighed as he walked up to her and put something in her hand. Leaf looks at it and noticed right away that it's a dagger.
"Take care of yourself Leaf, and don't worry; I'll save your boyfriend." Blue said with a smile. Leaf smiled back and nods her head. She then had to ask him.
"Why are you doing this for us?" Leaf looks at him with concern. Blue scratches his chin and replied, "Let's just say that this is an apology for the things I've done to both you and Red and that I wanted all of use to be friends again. That's all." Blue then runs off ahead, looking for Red.
Leaf snaps back to reality as she focuses on the task at hand. She looks at the window again and her eyes widen when she sees Silver being lowered down into a molten hot steel pit by the guard pushing the crank. Leaf didn't think ahead as she swings the door open and charges at the guard. The guard was caught surprise and saw Leaf coming towards him, but it was too late, the dagger Leaf had in her hand stuck it through his guts. His eyes widen from the shock and impact as he slumps over and Leaf pulled the dagger out of his gut and pushed him down into the hot pit. Leaf immediately started cranking in reverse as Silver was slowly being lifted back up; Leaf then moves the crane to a safer distance and set him down. Leaf ran towards him and cut the ropes off of his hands.
"Silver, wake up!" Leaf calls him as he groans and slowly opened his eyes weakly at Leaf.
"Leaf…? How?" Silver questioned weakly. Leaf shook her head.
"No time to explain, we have to save Lyra!" Leaf said as she pulls Silver up; he only nods in response.
"Mach Punch!" Lance yells out as his mechanical arm called the Harvester glows bright yellow and launches a fist towards a glowing fist towards Red. Red tries to block it with his sword, but he was knocked down by the impact of the punch.
"Heracross Close Combat! Alakazam Psychic! Exegguttor use Psychic too! Tyrantar Earthquake! Arcanine Fire Blast! Blastoise Hydro Canon!" Blue calls out to his pokemon. His pokemon all roared and cried out and did as they were told, aiming at their opponent's pokemon.
"Everyone evade! Counter their attacks with a Dragon Rage!" Lance calls out without looking at his pokemon as he walks towards Red who was on the ground. His pokemon roared and did as they were told. Most of his pokemon evaded Blue's attacks, but Gyaradose was hit by Alakazams' Psychic and Altaria was hit by Tyrantar's Earthquake. The remaining four that evaded the attacks by flying in the air unleashed a fiery purple flame at Blue's pokemon. They were all hit except for Blue's Blastoise who used Hydro Canon to negate the attack. Red got back on his feet with his sword ready by his side.
"Oh? You're still up?" Lance sarcastically said. Red shook his head and responded.
"Is that all? Hit me again, I dare ya." Red taunted at Lance and succeeded as Lance raised the Harvester in the air and yelled out.
"Fire Punch!" Lance yells out as he unleashed a fist engulfed in flame towards Red smirks as he swings down his blade on the Harvester, knocking it on the floor; Red immediately got on top of the Harvester for a moment and did a quick front flip with his sword now high above his head as it swings downward towards Lance's head. Lance's other bare arm raised towards the blade to defend himself from the incoming attack, but the sword cut deep into Lance's arm as it latches onto his flesh. Lance yells out in pain as he brought the Harvester back up again and yelled out.
"Drain Punch!" Lance launches his fist towards Red as it collides on his chest knocking him far across the hall. Red suddenly felt weak and tired from the punch, but he shakes it off. Lance's deep scar on his arm was suddenly healed by reforming new skins on his damaged arm. Lance angrily glares at Red.
"You're so fucking dead Red! Hyper Beam!" Lance yells out with his palm opened and fired a large yellow beam at Red. Red looks up and the incoming beam. Blue saw it too as he pointed to one of his pokemon.
Exeggutor use protect near Red!" Blue called out to the giant palm tree like pokemon with three yellow heads jumped in front of Red and a bright light blue square wall was formed. The beam hit the wall, but the wall absorbed its attack, leaving both Red and Exeggutor unscathed. Red released a sigh of relief and gave thumbs up at Blue and his pokemon. Red quickly jumps back up and dashed towards Lance. Lance was tired from his Hyper Beam attack and was caught surprised when he sees Red coming after him.
"Everyone defend me!" Lance orders his pokemon. His pokemon obey and stopped fighting Blue's pokemon. All six of his pokemon went by Lance's side in a defensive formation. Red yells out while clenching onto his sword and charged through the formation.
"Everyone attack Lance's pokemon! Break the formation so Red can get through!" Blue calls out to his pokemon. His pokemon all roared as they charged towards Lance's pokemon. Arcanine jumped first towards Charizard knocking the dragon down with Arcanine on top. Red moved to the side and passed by. Altaria was suddenly lifted by Alakazam's Psychic attack. Red went under the pokemon gripping his sword tighter and still yelling. Garchomp and Blastoise clenched onto each other's hands trying to push each other down. Red went in between the two giants. Salamence was about to pounce on Red until Exeggutor clashed against the pokemon with a Giga Impact and both pokemon fell down. Finally Red stumbled upon Lance's best pokemon; Dragonite. Tyrantar jumped in to attack Dragonite, but was slammed down when Tyrantar reached him. Blue's eyes widen when he saw what just happened.
"Red!" Blue calls out, but Red kept running at the giant dragon.
"Move out of my way!" Red yelled out to the dragon pokemon. Dragonite bend forward and breath in a flamethrower at Red, but luckily Red reacted fast to the incoming fire and rolled out of the way. Red quickly got back up and slashed his blade against Dragonite's stomach. The beast roared and cried out in pain as red blood were dripping from its gashed scar. Dragonite was about to retaliate back, but luckily Tyrantar got back up and knocked Dragonite down. Red continues to advance and saw Lance in front of him.
"I've got you now Lance!" Red yelled out as he raised his sword above his head. Lance saw Red and smirked.
Gyarados, Giga Impact!" Lance pointed at Red. Gyarados came swooping in from the right side of Red, ready to deliver the hard blow.
"Heracross, Close Combat!" Blue yelled out while pointing at the flying beast. Luckily Heracross came in time as it stood next to Red and delivered fast quick punches at the incoming beast. Gyrados collided at Blue's Heracross and Red continues to run at Lance. Red finally made it as he swings his blade at Lance who blocked just in time. Their weapons clashed once more drawing orange sparks. Red pushed Lance as he backs up. Red kept swinging his blade at Lance, but Lance kept dodging the blade. Lance tries to find an opening and tries to deliver a kick at Red, but Red backs up in time. Lance then tries to punch Red and again Red ducked in time. Red then made a quick low sweep and succeeded on knocking Lance on the ground. Red raised his sword up ready to deliver the final blow. However Lance raised the mechanical arm the Harvester up in time and blocked Red's attack, once again they're locked on.
"What the hell Red…where in the world did you learn these tricks!" Lance grunts as he tries to hold back. Red just glares at him and responded.
"My dad taught me everything…that's all you need to know." Red whispered at Lance as he pushed the blade down towards Lance. Lance kicked Red from behind and he fell forward.
Lance got back on his feet and raised the Harvester again. Red looked up at him from the ground with and braces himself from the attack of the Harvester. Lance grins and punched the ground.
"Magnitude 9!" Lance yells out as the shock wave shook up the whole area; Red, Blue and the pokemon were swerving back and forth trying to regain balance. The whole place shook with incredible force from Lance, as he grins at the two trainers.
"What the hell was that!?" Leaf calls out while holding onto Silver's left arm up to support him while Lyra was holding onto Silver's other arm. Lyra looked back at Leaf and shook her head; Silver grains in pain and looked at Lyra.
"I believe that's Lance's doing, we've got to hurry and help Red!" Silver calls out. Lyra nods her head and sighed when she saw Leaf looking at her. Lyra knows why Leaf's looking at her; Leaf's feeling guilty that she brought Ethan into this mess and forcefully pull Lyra away from Ethan's dead body when she yelled back to leave her alone. Somehow Silver managed to calm her down by hugging her, which she returned the affection to the red hair boy. Lyra's still depressed about Ethan's death, but she knows that mourning over the dead at a time like this isn't wise.
"Come on, we've got to hurry!" Silver yelled out trying to break the tension between the two. The girls looked at him and nodded their heads as they continue on supporting Silver to walk.
"Red, look out!" Blue called out as a ball of shadow was fired from the Harvester towards Red. Red quickly rolled out of the way and managed to dodge the impact in time. Blue's pokemon continue to fight off Lance's pokemon and at the same time, defend him. Alakazam was hit by Charizard's Fire Blast, knocking him out. Tyrantar slammed against Altaria and knocked it out. IT was down to ten pokemon with each trainers having five pokemon still standing.
"You've gotten stronger Blue." Red complimented his rival as he stood next to Blue. Blue smirked and nods his head.
"Red, when we get out of this mess, let us start over and be friends again." Blue said confidently. Red's eyes widen in shock as he happily smiled and nods his head. "You're already my friend." Blue smiled back happily.
"How touching, but I believe I'll have to keep the small reunion at bay, permanently." Lance said while holding the Harvester in the air.
"Agility!" Lance calls out as the Harvester glows in a purple mist and slowly swirls down on Lance as he felt lighter and swifter.
"Oh no you don't!" Red yells out as he charges towards Lance and swings his sword at Lance, but it didn't connect anything. Blue's eyes widen in fear.
"Red, behind you!" Blue calls out towards Red. Red turns around and was shock that Lance was behind him with the Harvester in the air glowing bright purple.
"Shadow Claw!" Lance yells out as he extended his arm towards Red and two dark claws with a purple aura around them scratches Red. Red tries to block them, but the claws went through the sword and scratched Red twice on the chest. Red yells out in pain as the claws drew blood. Red flinched back, but Lance grabbed his nick and lifted him up as Red gasps for breath. Lance whispered silently, "Absorb." The Harvester turned light green and suddenly small sparkle of light was coming out of Red and towards Lance. Red yells out in pain.
"Red!" Everyone attack Lance!" Blue ordered his pokemon as they lunged towards the man. Lane smirks as his pokemon went towards Blue's pokemon and attacked. Arcanine was blasted by Gyarados' Hydro Pump, Heracross was burned by Charizard's Blast Burn, Garchomp went bersker towards Blastoise by an Outrage, Salamence spew flamethrower Exeggutor. Tyrantar was almost there to Lance, but was tackled down by Dragonite.
"RED!" Blue cries out again as he trembles at the sight of his pokemon defeated and his friend dying.
"You've lost-argh!" Lance was interrupted when Red thrust his sword through his stomach. Blue smiled and cheered at his friend. Lance looked at Red angrily and threw him against the nearby pillar, but the sword that Red had on his hand was pulled out of Lance's stomach drawing bright red blood as he kneels down, groaning in pain. Lance looked up and he suddenly pulled out a hidden gun under his sleeve and aimed at Red. Red stood back up on his feet weakly and charged at Lance once more.
"Red…I've got one final card to pull." Lance chuckled as he released the safety of his gun.
Lance fired his gun. *BANG* the loud sound echo through the Hall of Fame room.
Red stabbed Lance in the stomach once more as he gasped from the sudden pain.
Red leaned towards Lance's ear and whispered, "You've missed." Lance was surprisingly still alive and chuckled and responded, "Did I?"
Red was confused until he realized that Blue no longer cheered for him as Red turned his head and saw Blue on the ground, blood was bursting out of his chest as he whimpers in pain.
Leaf and the group finally reached the Hall of Fame and saw the dying Blue on the ground as he gasps or breath. Leaf's eyes went wide in horror as she put her hands over her mouth, Lyra and Silver stared in shock.
"BLUE!" Red and Leaf cried out as both Red and Leaf ran towards their friend.
"Not so fast!" Lance yells out as he weakly stood up with the sword still impaled in his stomach, both Red and Leaf stopped and looked at him.
"I'll bury you all along with all of the pokemon in this room! MAGNITUDE 9!" Lance yells out once more as he punched the ground and the whole area shook even more fiercely than before; rocks were falling from the ceiling, cracks and crevice were forming on the ground. Blue and Lance's pokemon still continue to fight until they all collapse from a huge crater forming below them as they fell down. Lance fell too, but he laughed manically.
"Leaf, get out of here!" Red called out to Leaf while running. Leaf nods her head as she continues to help Silver up while looking behind her. Red grabs Blue under the arm and made him stand back up as they started walking towards Leaf when suddenly a crevice was formed around Red and Blue and they both fell.
"RED!" Leaf cries out as she released Silver and ran towards the edge of the crater as she peered over and thankfully Red and Blue was still alive on a small platform that's about to fall down anytime soon. However Blue is at the edge of the platform with Red holding onto his arm trying to pull Blue up.
"Come on Blue! I'll pull you up!" Red called out to Blue while gripping onto his arm. Blue looked down and then back up at Red with a weak smile.
"Red…there's something I have to tell you…" Blue weakly said with tears in his eyes. Red gritted his teeth while tears dripping down from his cheeks.
"Shut up Blue! I promise I'll get you out of here!" Red cried out as he tries to pull Blue, but Blue yelled out in pain. There was no time left, the platform is going to fall soon.
"Red…I recognize that Harvester...it's still not over Red…" Blue said weakly. Red shook his head as he tries to pull again, but failed. Blue was deadweight.
"Red! Leaf calls out. Red turned his head and see Leaf's arm outstretch towards him with tears in her eyes, not yet, not without his friend. Red turned back to his falling friend.
"Red…the Harvester came from…" Blue muttered.
"Red come on! Please!" Leaf cries out with her arms still outstretch towards Red. Red's eyes widen from shock as he looks down at Blue.
"Are…you serious!?" Red yelled. Blue only nods his head. Red tries to pull again, but to no avail.
"Red you have to let me go…if you don't…you'll die with me…" Blue weakly said. Red only shook his head as more tears were spilling from his eyes.
"Red…I'm glad…we're friends again…and I'm sorry for everything…now; do me a favor Red…live for her." Blue weakly smiled as he reached down into his pocket and threw a red device; Red caught it with his other hand, it was Blue's Pokedex. Blue then slapped Red's gripped hand as he fell down into the abyss. Red's eyes widen as tears kept spilling from his eyes, but now was not the time to grieve. Red quickly ran towards Leaf's outstretch hand as he quickly scaled up the wall and grabbed her arm. The platform Red was on, fell. Leaf tries to pull Red up, but couldn't until another pair of arms reached towards Red's other arm and pulled too; it was Silver and Lyra's. They managed to pull Red up and they started to run for the exit. They dodge falling rocks, jumped over small holes, and dodge incoming fire spews from broken pipes. They finally saw the glimmering exit and they all ran as fast as they could, and made it.
The four exhausted trainers ran far away from the crumbling building until they found a safe distance and watch in awe as the building collapse.
An hour had past as the trainers have set up a small camp. Leaf looked towards Red who found a small rock and sat on it in deep thought while holding Blue's Pokedex. She walked towards him and embraced him from behind. Red responded by gripping her hands tightly.
"It's finally over…" Leaf softly said. Red turned around and kissed her gently; she kissed back. They released each other and Red embraced her with her head resting on his chest.
"No Leaf…not yet…" Red whispered back with tears in his eyes, along with Leaf, and Blue's Pokedex was wet from the tears Red had spilt.
