A/N: Just so you know, chapters come out quicker when someone reviews this story. Also, I created a poll. On another note, no Valentine's Day chapter this year. Lastly, I forgot to mention this so, "No people were harmed in the bombing of Saffron City".
(New line break)
Chapter 19: Base
"Whose turn is it to pack up the tent?" Logan asked Jikoku, he shrugged. We had gathered the members of Lightonos that had come to the tent and were in the process of bringing it down. "How many members are in Lightonos anyways?" I asked. "We haven't bothered to count" answered Logan. "15" corrected the white haired man from the speech.
"Lord Omanos" Jikoku and Logan said together and bowed to him. "At ease, there's no need for that when we're on the same side" he stated as Logan and Jikoku stood. He looked over at us "Ah, we have guests, nice to meet you" he said extending his right hand to me. "You too" I said as I shook his hand, his hand seemed extremely cold to me.
"Now that the pleasantries are out of the way…" he said, raising his left hand. He then slashed the air in front of him creating a portal "…we should head back to base" he finished. We followed him through and arrived in a huge white room, it had 4 poles reaching to the ceiling; it also had a large two door opening to let in visitors, as well as seats for them to sit in. The last feature it had was a large podium (I think that's what it's called) like in court, the podium had an emblem on the front, and the emblem consisted on a light green pentagon with a silver italicized 'L' on top of it. The podium had three seats in it.
"Where are we?" Connor asked. "Lightonos' base" Logan answered. Omanos went over to a wall and pulled out a whistle, he blew into it and it let out a high pitched noise. In a matter of seconds the seats in the room were filled with people and they quickly filled the seats near the podium. After they were seated Omanos, Logan, and the person from the TV, Umanos, took the three seats in the podium, Omanos in the middle, Umanos on the left, and Logan on the right.
"We are gathered to discuss the problem of Nebrosono" Omanos announced. "Please sit" I heard a voice from behind me; I looked and saw a seat like the ones the members were sitting in. I sat and the rest of my group followed suit. "Jikoku has told me these humans are the ones that are going to save us" Omanos continued "However, Jikoku was unable to see what they do to save us, so what are you going to do?" he asked. "I guess we'll use our Pokémon to fight them" I said for us. "Ha!" said one of the members; he had light blue hair with two spikes near the back, like ears. He was wearing a tuxedo that was the same color as his hair. The tux was open to show a white shirt, the shirt had a red triangle in the middle. His eyes were a deep red that were staring right at me, "You actually think regular Pokémon, easily found in the wild, can take down Legendary Pokémon!" he continued. "Nino, settle down" Logan said forcefully. "Easily found in the wild" I said darkly, I saw a couple of people shiver "We've trained our Pokémon to the best of their abilities!" I yelled. "Then let's see how well they can do against a Legendary" he said walking towards me. "Gentlemen, I ask of you to take it to the arena" Omanos said forcefully. "Understood" Nino said bowing "We will battle in 15 minutes" he added and ran, creating a sonic boom. I'd have to think about whom I would battle him with.
15 minutes later
In the end I decided to go with Sparky, anyways, I was standing on one side of the battlefield, and Nino stood on the other, everybody else was on the sidelines. "You ready?" he asked me nicely, I remembered that even though we had different ideals we were still on the same side. I didn't want to fight him, and then I remembered what he said about our Pokémon, "Yeah, I'm ready" I answered. I released Sparky and Nino stepped onto the battlefield, he pressed the triangle on his shirt and he started glowing. When it subsided he had changed and shown his true form, he was a Latios. 'That explains the sonic-boom' I thought, "Sparky, Volt Tackle" I ordered, he ran towards Nino, but Nino easily dodge it and shot out a purple beam from his mouth. The beam connected with Sparky's side and knocked him to the ground. "A real Volt Tackle, unlike when I last saw you" Nino said to me and Sparky telepathically. "I knew I saw a Latios in my window!"I exclaimed. "Yes, I was hoping you would send that Tyranitar to battle me" he continued. "Sorry and Shadow Ball!"I said. Nino had obviously forgotten about Sparky and was struck in the back by the dark energy ball. He recovered from the attack quickly and shot an Ice Beam at Sparky, he froze on contact, and Nino took this chance to fire off another purple beam, I realized it as Latios's signature move, Luster Purge. Sparky was sent sprawling across the floor "Sparky are you okay?" I yelled. He got up again, but he was wobbling "Stop the battle, unless you want him to get REALLY hurt" Nino commanded telepathically. "Sparky return" I said sadly "good job buddy".
"Now you see regular Pokémon, even trained, cannot beat a Legendary" he explained. "Yeah, you're right" I agreed. "Then what do we do?" Savannah asked, as she and the rest of my group walked over. "I really don't know" I said sadly. "I do" said Hector "But it'll cost your humanity, kind of". "What do you have in mind?"Omanos asked. "They could go on the Path of Soul" Hector explained, and then the room filled with wide eyes and gasps. "Yes, that could work" Omanos agreed "But they would have to agree" he said gesturing to us. "What's this 'Path of Soul'?" Connor asked. "It's a portal that will take you to a place that has the same wavelength as your Aura" Logan started "There you will meet the holder of that dimension, if you can get them to give you their power, then you have a chance to take on Nebrosono" Logan finished. "Also, you are not allowed to bring your own Pokémon to the dimension" Nino added. "Understandable" David replied. "Where is this portal?" I asked. "I know where it is, I'll take you" Omanos replied. "There is one side effect of gaining the power" Nino said before we left "If you gain it, you'll be half Pokémon, half human for the rest of your life" he finished gravely.
I looked toward my group and we thought about it, then we finally nodded "It might be cool to have powers" Erin added. "We'll do it" I answered turning back to Omanos. "Excellent, we shall leave in 10 minutes, use this time to prepare yourself" Omanos explained "Logan show them their rooms". "Yes sir" Logan said and walked to the door, we followed suit.
10 minutes later
I walked out of my room and towards the meeting place; I used my time to study the paths and places of the base. I had also decided to change my wardrobe; I was now wearing a light blue shirt with long black sleeves, and Brown pants, oh, and I forgot to mention I have neck length black hair. Another thing is; my eyes are Hazel Brown. I waited for the others and Omanos, I was really surprised that I arrived first, Eventually Omanos arrived "ah, hello Zachary" Omanos said politely "I was reading up on this Path of Soul, and I must've fallen asleep". "It's no problem" I replied. We waited for the others as they showed up one by one, like me they had decided to change clothes. David was wearing a black denim jacket with a black shirt underneath; he was wearing dark grey pants too, also he had black almost boot-like shoes. His hair was like mine, but much cleaner and combed. Connor was wearing a long white jersey that had 'SAFFRON GIANTS' on it; he had wearing camouflage green shorts that went down to about his knees and sneakers, his hair was shoulder length and blond, finally, his eyes were a light grey color. Savannah was wearing the same thing she was when we meet again, a pink sweater, jeans, and brown boots; her hair went down to behind her shoulders (upper back), her eyes were light shade of brown like mine, but slightly darker. Erin was wearing a middle shade green jacket that was zipped up to prevent us from seeing the shirt. She, like Savannah she was wearing jeans, and brown boots also like Savannah's however they were regular boots not cowboy. Her hair was slightly shorter than Savannah's but not much. Her eyes were a sky blue color (I think). With the members gathered Omanos opened the huge portal and we stepped through…
A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short, although if it makes up for it, the next couple of chapters will focus on each individual Character's point of view.
Nino: Goodbye, and sorry for being so mean
