Iain rubbed his hand after he slammed the last remaining guard against the wall. After a quick look around, he smirked at the work that he and his Pokémon had done. All of the Pokémon of his opponent had been defeated, and the guards were knocked out.
He was proud at himself. Since he hadn't heard anything from David, he decided to look around by himself. But before that, he decided to take the Pokémon with him that he assumed to be Shadow Pokémon. Of course he wasn't sure of every one of them, but Rui could help him to identify the right ones… and on the other hand: It was also better for the Pokémon not to remain with these people any longer…
Just as he was about to pick the Pokéballs up, he heard something, and turned to the source. He saw an incoming Hyper Beam but it was impossible for him to react.
Then suddenly something pushed him aside and took the full hit. Iain coughed, and looked at the direction where the Hyper Beam came. He spotted a Gyrados looking coldly at him.
The trainer beside him cursed, "Damnit! This was a miss! Kill him Giglith!"
Iain wondered for a moment what kind of Pokémon he called, as he heard a stomping beside him. A large Blue and red Pokémon made of rocks stood there and prepared to attack. But suddenly it was covered by flames of a Flamethrower attack that knocked this Pokémon out.
The trainer's eyes widened "Impossible! It's sturdy ability should have protected it from a one hit KO!"
Iain however turned to see the Shadow Blaziken he had was standing there, panting. It asked, "Are you alright?"
Iain nodded with a grin, "Indeed! Thank you!"
"Do you mind if I take this blue sea-snake as punching bag?" Asked Blaziken.
Iain thought about a bit and shrugged, "Just don't kill it."
"Of course!" Smirked the Blaziken, and stormed at the Gyrados. The large Flying/Water type tried to bite Blaziken, but Blaziken dogded the adept and kicked it's head. From the attack, Iain could see that Blaziken's legs were glowing golden.
He assumed that the Shining Blast differs from Pokémon to Pokémon. The Gyrados crashed into the wall and collapsed on the ground. The trainer sweat-dropped at the loss of his two Pokémon, and tried to sneak away: Unfortunately, Blaziken was already behind him…
Before he could even made a noise, Blaziken grabbed him and slammed into the ground.
With a weak moan, he fell unconscious.
"This wasn't a nice move!" Chuckled Iain.
Blaziken shrugged, "Just needed some relief… Do you know how it is to have your own heart closed, not able to live out any feelings?"
A nod followed as an answer, since it was plausible. He collected, with the other Pokémon he had there, the remaining Pokéballs, and went to search for David.
He found him in a room, where all equipment was destroyed, and many bodies lied around. He sat on a chair, with a white sneasel on his lap. From the feather size, Iain guessed it to be female. And she seemed to cnuddle against David.
He noticed Iain and smiled, "How are things going?"
"Just finished my business!" Replied Iain.
"That is good! I was able to save some Pokémons here… most of them are now in their balls, except April here, and Julia behind you."
"Julia?" Asked Iain confused, and turned around.
He spotted a Shiny Gardevoir, who smiled at him.
"Hi!" came as greeting from the Gardevoir with a female voice. "I am Julia! And who are you handsome?"
"I… I'm Iain," came as answer.
Julia giggled, "Such a nice name! Fitting to you!"
Iain blushed more, and was about to say something, as David interrupted, "Can we continue later? I got a call that Mt. Battle is under attack!"
Iain turned around. "By who?"
"Cipher!" He replied.
