Jenny had explained everything to Clemont about what had happened. About the aftermath of the Hope Tower Incident, the forming of the KSATTF and how she was the commander of the task force. Clemont had just stand there, quietly taking in all the things that were being told to him
" I see, so the events that took place on Christmas Day caused the KSATTF to be formed?" Clemont said, stroking his chin in thought.
"Correct, as long a threat exists in this region, so will we."
"Are all the members from Kalos?" Clemont asked
"Not exactly." Mike said. "The best of the best from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova are all given an opportunity to join. Some of our members even came from the International Police."
"Wow, the KSATTF is a really well manned task force." Serena said
"And not a good sign for us..." Jessie grumbled from a distance
"Hm? You said something Jessie?" James asked.
"No... I didn't say anything." Jessie lied.
"Anyway, that's how it all went down, and now we're here." Jenny said. "Before I was captured, I was investigating suspicious activity that was occurring around the area, trucks driving off track into the middle of nowhere. I tailed the trucks and it led me here.
"Excuse me for interrupting." Clemont said. "Mike, did your find out who was leading this extremist group?"
"That's a negative on that." Mike said. "We've searched the entire camp and we couldn't find a single trace of the-"
Suddenly, an loud explosion erupted from within the camp, the shockwave caused by the explosion pushed everyone onto the ground.
"What the hell was that?!" Mike shouted.
"It was an explosion." Clemont said. "But where could it have possibly come from?"
"Are we under attack?! Again?!" Jessie yelled.
Jenny got up on her feet and tapped on her earpiece that she was just given.
"I want a damage a report now!" Jenny broadcasted on the team's TAC radio frequency.
"All personals reported green ma'am!" The soldier on the other end, Private Michael Monroe, said.
"But... We got a problem!"
"Well spit it out soldier what is it?!"
"The... the giant object being constructed! It's on fire!"
"What?!"
Jenny ran towards the centre of the camp, while the others followed behind her. When they reached the giant unknown construction, it was engulfed in a blaze of fire, the KSATTF members using their water-type Pokemon to prevent it from spreading.
"What happened here?!" Mike asked the Private.
"Sir! We think the source of the explosion came from the object!" Private Michael said.
"An attack?"
"Negative, we didn't see any projectiles, we believe it might have been bombs planted on the construction site."
"Bombs...!?" Serena said in curiosity.
"They must have had a contingency plan to get rid of any traces of what they were doing!" Jenny said.
Mike cursed. How did he not noticed any bombs when he made a quick inspection of the construction not so very long ago. When he finally got back to his senses, he turned to face everyone.
"Alright everyone! We're going to need all the help we can get! People and Pokemon alike! Do anything it takes to quell the fire! You joined the KSATTF because you are the protectors of Kalos! Now is time to prove that loyalty, who's with me?!"
"Hoorah!" The KSATTF members shouted.
"Yes sir." Clemont and Serena both said with hint of respect to Mike.
Jessie and James simply shrugged, they weren't doing it out of good will, they both just don't want to be arrested after this whole fiasco has ended.
Jenny couldn't help but smile at this, he couldn't ask for a better second in commend by her side.
From a distance, not far from the blazing construction, Malamar was watching, with Meowth floating next to it.
In front of Malamar, was a holographic pad. Which suddenly flickered to a different screen.
INCOMING CALL
CALLER ID: UNKNOWN
Malamar tapped a button and the screen switched to the face of an orange haired man, Lysandre.
"Report." Lysandre said.
"Mala mala, Mala Malamar!"
"Camp Omega compromised, initiating Winter Contingency!" Meowth translated.
"Then see to it, I don't want a single trace of our existence here!" Lysandre said.
"Malamar Mala Mala."
"Yes, Master Lysandre."
"Good, extract from the area once you're finished. A chopper will be sent to pick you up, Lysandre out."
The call ended and the screen faded to black.
Malamar switched the pad off and decided to put its plans into motion, it wasn't going to see months of hard work go to fools know NOTHING about what this weapon could do. Instead of destroying everything, it was only going to destroy one thing.
The pests that were meddling with it.
"It's no use! The fire is to strong!" Serena said. She had ordered Pancham to help by throwing dirt on to the fire to quell the fire.
Clemont, Jessie and James were helping as well. Having Bulnnelby, Chespin, Luxray, Inkay and Gourgiest helping out too.
"We can't lose this object! It's our top priority!" Jenny said.
"But we don't have the manpower to extinguish this inferno!" Clemont said.
Jenny couldn't deny that fact, with only about 10 men, they couldn't exactly do anything about it.
Unless...
"Lieutenant! I need you to Mega Evovle your Manetric!"
"Wha... But Ma'am! You do realize that...!"
"We won't know unless we try."
Everyone else were confused at what they were both saying.
Clemont decided to speak up.
"Um... What makes going on here?"
"6 months ago, Mike and his Manectric were on a mission in Southern Kalos. The situation required him to Mega Evovle. Unfortunately, an explosion nearby interrupted the Mega Evolution process and knocking out both Mike and Menectric. When the doctors attended to him they noticed a strange kind of "aura" radiating from both their bodies. The best conclusion the scientist could make up was that the sudden interruption of Mega Evolution caused a burst of energy to fuse with them, causing a sudden change in their genetic codes. Permanently "linking" with each other."
"Wow...!" Clemont said. The glimmer of interest in his eyes of learning something new about Mega Evolution made Serena chuckle.
"Data from this new discovery showed many interesting results: Spacial awareness increased by 30%, heightened reflex, and Manectric's power had an increased of a whopping 90%." Jenny continued.
"And that's only in its base form, we don't know what'll happen if we tried Mega Evolving." Mike said.
"So that's why we need to do it now, your Manectric's Rain Dance should be able to extinguish this fire!" Jenny said. "As Captain I authorize use of Mega Evolution!"
"Roger that, Ma'am. Manectric!"
"Tric!" It said, standing by in front of him."
"Alright then! Manectric! MEGA EVOLVE!" Mike said.
He touched the Mega Stone on his visor and a glow of light emitted. Not long after, the Mega "links" from both the Manectricite and Key Stone fused together, creating a massive burst of light. Manectric hound as it started to physically change, massive spikes grew, it's legs morphing.
And then it the burst of light dispersed from Manectric, revealing a whole different looking Pokemon. Much slicker in design and intimidating.
Serena, Clemont, Jessie and James were awestruck by its appearance.
If only Ash was here to see it, Serena thought.
"Now, Manectric! Use Rain Dance!" Mike ordered.
"MA NEC TRIC!" It shouted into the sky above. Not long after, dark clouds started forming in the sky. Blanketing the entire camp in darkness.
A few drops of rain started and now long after it started pouring, but it wasn't a heavy rain, it was more like a hurricane was about to hit the entire camp. Wind started picking up and everyone braced themselves.
The downpour fell onto the flaming object. Steam released from the water due to the intense heat. Slowly but surely the fire subsided, and eventually extinguishing the entire inferno.
The skies started clearing as Manectric changed back to its original form.
"Good work Manectric!" Mike said, patting the electric-type.
"That was amazing!" Serena said. Completely blown away at how much power this Pokemon was wielding.
"I've never seen a Rain Dance so powerful before!" Clemont added.
Team Rocket, who had hid under a small hut came out when they saw the rain had cleared.
"Don't ever do that again!" Jessie yelled. "This hair is too perfect to be ruined by mere rain!"
"Oh Jessie..." James said in embarrassment.
"Good work Mike." Jenny said. "I'm sure the boys back at HQ will be happy to hear the results of this "experiment". "
"Yeah I'm sure they'll be pleased to hear- wait... what's that sound?"
"I hear it too." Serena said.
"It sounds like... clapping?" Clemont said.
The clapping grew closer and closer, but it didn't grew and louder, as if the person who was clapping was really small.
"Quite the show you put up."
"That voice...!" Jessie stated.
"Could it be...?!" James said.
A figure walked out of a corner, it was none other than Meowth, his eyes closed and a grin on his face
.
"Meowth!" Serena and Team Rocket both said simultaneously.
"I have to say, I'm impressed at how much power that Pokemon has, I think it'll fit great in our cause."
"Cause?" James asked in confusion. "What are you...?!"
Suddenly a figure appeared out of thin air, a figure that send chills down everyone's spine.
"What the...?!" Jenny said.
"Optical Camouflage?!" Mike said.
"No...! That can't be...!" Clemont said.
"The leader of the entire thing." Serena said.
"SHOW'S OVER!" Malamar said. "PREPARE TO FEEL MY WRATH!"
