Disclaimer: I won't be able to own Pokemon

Another update! :D

This chapter is a bit magical and I hope will be entertaining. Of course, I have a couple of important announcements to make in Author Notes. SO PLEASE READ IT!

Chapter 10:

The first thing happened was that the ice chains that held Lunick and Wes to the ground broke. Ice scattered across the ground like tiny crystals that melted into small puddles of water. The second thing that happened was that the Cipher Admins had run away, all cursing and screaming. Where they had gone, Lunick didn't know but right now, there were more pressing issues to deal with than pursuing those people. "Wes, are you okay?" Lunick yelled over the sound of rumbling and destruction. He winced as he got up for the numbing pain in his hands shot up into his arms. Minun quickly got onto Lunick's head and shivered in fear. "Wes? Answer me!"

Wes didn't respond except with a sharp gasp of pain. He, unlike Lunick, fell to the ground and as he struggled to get up, it was as though watching a cripple trying to get up. Lunick tried not to wince at the sight of Wes' stiff frozen legs. Lunick was lucky for the ice that froze him to the ground was light enough to be broken easily. Although his hands felt as though frostbite has kicked in, Lunick's injuries was nothing compared to Wes. While Wes's arms weren't damaged during the attack, the damage to his leg was great enough so that he couldn't even move them much less stand up. Lunick hurried over and on his shoulder, placed one of Wes' arms and lifted him up.

"Don't worry about me," Wes snapped, still the same attitude as always, "I just need time to get the feeling back into my legs. Go now and find the others." Lunick ignored Wes' comment and continued to pull him away from the crumbling building. He still couldn't believe how thin and skinny Wes was. It was as though Wes' bones were hollowed out and made light.

Tyranitar shot off another Hyper Beam into the air and another load of debris fell to the ground. And Metagross slammed its body against the ground over and over again, causing the floor to shake so much that Lunick was having difficulty keeping his balance. They were never going to get out of this mess as long as those rampaging monsters keep attacking. Lunick spotted and managed to grab the two Poke balls on the shaken ground with his feet, kicked it up like a soccer ball to catch them in his hand, and thrust them into Wes'.

"Return your Pokemon!" Lunick yelled. "Before we all get killed!"

"You don't have to yell," Wes said, put weakly lifted the Poke balls up and said. "Return." Immediately, Tyranitar and Metagross were sucked in. However, the destruction still continued. The roof was going to collapse. And the door that they had used was blocked by boulders. "Damn, that was a greater risk than I expected. We managed to get rid of them, but the building isn't going to last any longer. Lunick, go save the others." Wes tried to get out of Lunick's grasp but the ranger just held on tighter.

"Not until I get you out of here safely," Lunick snapped.

"I have a better chance of surviving than they do," Wes shot back. "You should try to save them and yourself before it is too late. Lunick stared as though he wanted to slap the guy but instead yelled back.

"Stop comparing your life as though it is less important than the others! I'm getting you out of here and that's final! If I can't save your life, how can I save theirs?" There was a long silence before Wes responded.

"You really can't shut up," Wes muttered but Lunick didn't hear him. Lunick noticed that there was a hole in one of the walls made by one of Tyranitar's Hyper Beam. He could see sunlight streaming out. There was an easy way out now! "Come on!"

"I can't walk you know," Wes muttered as Lunick dragged him to the wall. It was a miracle that rocks were not falling on top of them. Minun squealed and flinched every so often. Finally, they got past through all of the rubble and reached the sunlit grassy area. The flat land, however, was cut off by a steep cliff that plunged into what appeared to be a dark valley with dark green trees.

"Okay," Lunick said, setting Wes gently down to the ground just far enough from the factory but away from the deep cliff. "Now, you stay here and I'll-" Lunick never got to explain his plan for there was a sound of explosion. BOOM! The entire building fell to the ground and heavy rocks flew everywhere. The smell of smoke filled Lunick's nostril and the sound echoed in Lunick's ears.

The next thing Lunick or Wes knew, they were blown in to the air by the powerful wave of energy. Lunick found his body tumbling and bouncing across the ground and, before he could stop, went right over the cliff. "AHHHHHHH!" Lunick thought he was done for until something grabbed him by the arm. Lunick looked up to see that Wes had managed to keep a holding at the edge of the cliff and was holding on it for both of their lives. Now it was his turn to save the both of them.

"Hang in there!" Wes said, wincing in pain. Wes really knew how to take the term into its literal definition. Lunick noticed that although Wes was clutching tightly onto the edge of the cliff. The dirt and rock were loose to begin with and Lunick watched in horror as the dirt started to crumble and fall into the chasm below. Finally, as though watching it in slow motion, Wes' hand slipped and gave away. Lunick watched Wes' distressed look as they both fell down into the deep chasm. The ranger closed his eyes, waiting for the impact to hit and kill the both of them.

But it never came.

…

"Damn, this factory is done for!" Venus said as she watched the smoke rise up past the trees and disappearing into the clouds. "After all that work trying to build it secretly." She and the rest of the Cipher Admins were flying in a helicopter that they had in a hidden base that was a couple of miles away from the factory. All four of them had to move quickly because backup is bound to come really soon and if any of them spotted their helicopter… well, it would put them in a sticky situation.

"We made plenty of those devices," Miror B. said who was sitting next to Venus, much to her displeasure, "So it wasn't a complete waste. Though things still ended with a complete BANG!" The disco man laughed and slapped his leg at his own little joke.

"Shut up you stupid disco freak!" Venus screeched, slapping Miror B. in the face.

"Owie, ow, ow!" The disco man's cheek had a red imprint of a hand. "Watch the afro! That baby took two months to perfect into what it is now. Though I could say the same thing with your plastic surgery."

"You are the most useless person in this entire group! You should be more respectful to a beauty queen like me!" Venus squealed as Miror B. laughed again. "I did NOT have plastic surgery. This is my entire beautiful and natural self!"

"Shut up!" And the two immediately quelled under Dakim's eyes which was growing with anger. After a minute of tense air, Dakim rolled his eyes in annoyance and looked away. His blank and dull stare suggested that he didn't know nor couldn't figure out what he was suppose to think.

"I didn't calculate that he would bring those two Pokemon. They have the strongest and deadliest powers of all the Shadow Pokemon," Ein said as he looked at the laptop. He was sitting next to Dakim and next to the window. The screen reflected on his purple shades. "I wished we had captured them so we could analyze them again… They would've made the plan go smoother. Shame we lost the girl. She could've have been our eyes and not to mention we could've gotten rid of Wes once and for all.

"Still things don't always go to plan…" Ein finished and closed his laptop and rubbed his eyes after removing his glasses. "Well, if things stay on course, those rangers will come out alive and take the bait."

"Oh boy," Miror B. said, turning to Ein, "You actually think Gordor will be able to take care of it in Jungle Relic?"

"Of course," Ein said, grinning, "His Go-Rock Quads may be flashy but their skills are top notch. All we have to do is lay the bait and those stupid rangers will unwittingly complete the plan for us."

"Oh this is getting so exciting," Venus said, giggling like a childish girl. "Those three legendary Pokemon will soon be ours now."

Ein smirked and looked out of the window.

You guys better stay alive. For the sake of our plan.

…

"Can't believe the entire building exploded," Spenser said as he marched up higher and higher, his shoes crunched from the rocks below. He barely made it out with Rui and Solana when the explosion came and the entire building exploded. There was nothing left in its place except smoke and a lot of rocks. Several spots still had fire burning but it was contained into one spot. Spenser was starting to freak out right now. He had called for backup but that won't come for a while. There was the smell of lingering death but Spenser refused to believe the worst case scenario. In the meantime, Spenser and Rui decided to search for any survivors, mainly Wes and Lunick. Spenser ordered Murph to take Solana back to the ranger station to heal up and give a report.

"Wes!" Rui called out even though she knew there was going to be no response. "Wes, where are you?" She looked on the verge of tears. Umbreon's yellow color ring pattern on its fur glowed brightly, allowing Rui to look at hard to see and dark spots. The Pokemon, too, had a look of worry on its face and was working quite diligently. Spenser's Fearow flew overhead for a better bird's eye view of the area. They've been at this for almost an hour and still no sign. There was no way they'll be able to find the two.

"Lunick!" Spenser yelled, hoping that idiotic ranger would pop out of nowhere with that idiotic heroic look on his face as always. Out of frustration, Spenser kicked a pile of rubble and it rolled down the small makeshift hill, bouncing along.

"Mr. Ranger sir!" Rui called out. "I found something!" Spenser immediately turned and saw Rui far away and pointing to the bottom of the hill. Spenser noticed his Fearow flying over in a circle, indicating that Rui's finding was very important. With expertise, Spenser ran through the pile and though it was difficult, managed to get over. He gasped in shock. There at the bottom, there was a pair of blue colored ears. They were twitching slightly. Spenser's body seemed to freeze for a moment. He knew whose ears those belonged to.

"Rui! Stay back!" Spenser warned and jumped down the pile carefully yet quickly. Rocks tumbled under his feet, but Spenser was trained well enough to keep his balance. Umbreon, too, jumped down as well and followed Spenser to their target.

As they got closer, Spenser was able to confirm whose ears they belonged to - a small frail mouse looking Pokemon with blue cheeks. "Minun!" The Pokemon was dangerously close to a cliff and Spenser immediately crouched to pick up the tired and weak Pokemon who opened its eyes and gave a squeak of relief. "The others should be around here!" Spenser looked around for any sign of life but like before, nothing but piles of rubble. Umbreon was already on the job, shifting through rocks and sniffing the ground. Spenser took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

Minun was alive, so the others must be too. They have to be.

…

Deep within the forest, a group of Snagem members were sitting around, trying to catch their breath after that narrow and hazardous life-or-death situation. None of them were happy and most looked as though they wanted to give up.

"Man," one of the Snagem members said, "What are we going to do now?" He threw a rock which hit the trunk of a tree with a loud thunk, and it bounced off and rolled across the grassy ground.

"We wait here," one of the other grunts snapped as he rubbed his bald head with sunscreen. "Better to stick together in case trouble comes. Besides, the boss ordered us to." This grunt took a water bottle from his belt and started chugging down water, allowing some of it to spill onto his shirt.

"Can't believe, the building got destroyed," the complaining grunt muttered. "That guy really knows how to bring a bang to the party… No pun intended."

"Pah, Wes has style and he was the best of all of us back in the days when we were just Team Snagem," another grunt said, "And not to mention that he was the youngest one of all of us. His skills allowed us to become a more efficient team and made all of us stronger members. That's why our team was recruited by Cipher. Though I bet Gonzap is not really happy right now with the way things are. He misses being in charge of everything."

"Speaking of Gonzap, where is he?" the grunt, who had drunk water, asked as he wiped away the drops of water from his shirt. "That man just told us to wait here and left on his own."

"What do you think?" Another grunt said, laughing, though it sounded more forced. "He said he went to see if any of our survivors are still out there. Make sure none of those stupid rangers caught them."

"Our members? Doesn't he mean one in particular? One EX-member?" the complaining grunt said. No one needed to answer that. "Hmph, Gonzap doesn't care about any of us if we just simply get in the way of our operations. Many of us have been captured before but it didn't really matter to him. Why should this be any different?"

"Bah, what do you expect? No matter what he says to all of us, we all know Gonzap cares about that boy. After all, he considers Wes as though he is his own son."

…

The first thing Lunick noticed was that something was tickling his cheek. Lunick, with his eyes still closed, merely groaned and turned to his side. Strange, now that Lunick's ears were working properly, there was even the sound of bell-like laughter. Was he dreaming or hallucinating? Now, the tickling turned into poking.

"Wes, stop it," Lunick muttered and tried to swat away the hand that was poking.

"Bii!" The voice protested in anger as though insulted for being called this name. Wait… since when does Wes spoke with a high pitch squealing voice? Trying not to laugh at the thought, Lunick opened his eye and had to close them again for his eyes were blinded by green light. He groaned. Again, bells of laughter… Lunick squinted this time to see that the light had zoomed off like a green bullet. Lunick weakly got up and noticed his surroundings for the first time. They were in the dark green forest again. Only here, it was quiet except the whispering sound from the trees' leaves and, Lunick just now noticed, not a single Pokemon in sight. It was as though the place here was a secret and sacred ground. Wait a minute, what about Wes?

Lunick looked wildly around and to his relief, saw the unconscious boy a couple of feet away, looking completely unharmed. Lunick suddenly noticed that the green light was now circling around Wes' legs. "Hey, what are you doing?" Lunick said, trying to swat away the small ball of light as though it was some annoying pest. The light dodged the rangers' hand and continued to shower Wes with a pale green light. The light became brighter and brighter and through Lunick's eyes watched as Wes' frozen legs healed back to normal. The thief's pale face slowly regained back a little bit of color and his breathing was a lot calmer. The green light surrounding Wes faded slowly and the green ball of the light moved side to side as though dancing with pleasure.

"Wow," Lunick gasped at the green light. "How did you do that?"

"Biii!" The light replied happily. Suddenly, the light expanded and glowed even brighter that Lunick had to shield his eyes again. Once he was able to open them again, he found himself facing a green looking creature. Its head was shaped like a green onion bulb and little white fairy wings on its back. Its small delicate hands covered its mouth as it giggled and its little green legs dangled around as it flew.

"No, no way," Lunick whispered, "Y-you're… you're…"

"Lunick?" Wes said, opening one of his eyes and groaned as well as he got up into sitting position. The thief rubbed his head as though in pain. "How are we still alive?" He suddenly looked down at his legs as though he realized something and widened with shock at them. "What the-?" Then he saw the green fairy floating in the air. Its wings seemed to be leaving behind a trail of glittering pixie dust.

"That's… that's," Lunick choked, unable to speak.

"That's Celebi," Wes whispered.
