Hey all, I'm back. I spent the last two or three days doing this in whatever spare time I've had, so I wanted to let you know this story's still going. There have been a few distractions lately, but I'm finally able to make free time for this.
Also, thanks everyone for your support. I hope to hear more from you all as I get back into writing this story again. Enjoy!
The three younger people before Achak could do nothing but stare at him.
"Giratina... are you sure?" Alizarin questioned, raising an eyebrow. "I mean... do you know what you're doing?"
Achak's smile was still plastered on his face. "Of course I am. When we're up against four legendary Pokemon, we cannot be too careful. Am I correct in saying so?"
Valerie was now looking down at the floor. "I-I don't know... From what I've heard about Giratina, it is very hostile. That's the reason it is sealed away in the Distortion World, right?"
"Who cares?" blurted Luke. "It doesn't matter what we have to do, I just want to get this over with." Valerie gave Alizarin a worried look, as he looked back at her. He then glanced at Luke. It was obvious that he was enraged. Angry at Ghetsis for causing the death of his two closest friends.
"...Got it." Alizarin reached for a PokeBall from his belt and tossed it. The familiar Raichu shaped from the white light that erupted from the airborne sphere. Looking up at its trainer, who looked right back, it smiled. "We'll help you catch Giratina. We want Ghetsis dealt with just as much as you guys do."
Feeling a new sense of courage, Valerie took a step forward. "I'll help too. I may not be a real trainer but I will do whatever I can." Receiving a sweet smile from his older sister, Luke shrugged it off.
"Fine, we'll go. Just don't get in my way once I see Ghetsis or any of his chronies."
Disregarding the cold remark, Achak clapped his hands together. "Splendid! Now, we must go. The task is difficult and there is no telling how much time we have left before Ghetsis becomes too dangerous."
The colossal beast known as Regigigas continued its rampage through the city. Much of Eterna City had been evacuated in time, leaving the rebellious trainers to fend it off. Ghetsis, watching the destruction with a triumphant smile on his face, enjoyed the sight from the safety of a hovercraft of sorts.
"Yes, Regigigas," he cackled, "make my vision into a reality! Destroy this worthless city and show the world who I am!"
"Ghetsis!"
He looked to his left. Should've guessed, he thought. There, floating in all its elegance, was Reshiram, harboring the Hero of Truth on its back. "Is it not enough that you ruined my plans once?" questioned the green-haired man.
Hilda frowned. "You should have learned from your failure in Unova, Ghetsis," she explained.
A grin spread across Ghetsis's face. "Oh, but I have learned! Take a look around you," he said, motioning to the partially dilapidated city. "I caused all this. I have control over not only one, but four legendary Pokemon. Don't act like you can defeat me now, especially when you have only those weaklings down there to support you."
Wishing that he had then kept his mouth shut, Ghetsis looked over in the same direction Hilda had come from. His rebellious son, N, had arrived on the back of the mighty Zekrom. Neither of the two were very happy to see each other, to say the least.
"I had a feeling that you'd attempt to stop me here as well," Ghetsis began, "but let me tell you now that even with the two of you here you cannot hope to defeat me again."
N's brow lowered in annoyance. "Don't be so sure of yourself, father..."
"Don't you dare call me that!" Screamed a now furious Ghetsis. "You ungrateful little- you lost all connection to me and my name after that little stunt you pulled in Unova!"
Hilda, thinking that Ghetsis's words may have had an affect on him, directed her attention to N. She was surprised; N's expression was completely calm and relaxed. What surprised her and Ghetsis more, was his answer.
"...Good."
A wide-eyed Ghetsis stared at the boy on the black dragon in shock. Then, as his face was restored with a look of fury, he swung an arm forward and shouted a command. "Regigigas! Show this meddlesome brat and his friend the power you possess!"
Reacting quickly, Reshiram and Zekrom, carrying their respective partners, dodged an incoming fist from the titan.
This'll be a long fight, thought Hilda.
Sorry if this was any shorter than what you're used to, but I needed to get this part done and posted as soon as I could. This is the part of the story where it really gets exciting (compared to the earlier chapters, at least).
Expect a new story from me starting soon, hopefully this weekend. It'll give me something to work on when I'm not feeling the inspiration to write more of this one.
