Iain and David landed hard on the ground in front of the door to Mt. Battle. They had ended their training with Neotris, and he just sent them back in the most uncomfortable way. On his order, Giratina just opened a portal beneath their feet, and let them fall down.
David groaned in pain as he stood up, and told his friend, "Next time I see him, I'm going to kick his ass!"
Iain was a bit surprised by the speech of his friend, but agreed. "Yeah! He could send us more gently!"
"No time to waste! We have to help Wes and Rui!"
"Right!"
But then a female voice asked, "Mind we tag along?"
The two boys turned, and spotted April and Julia behind them. The two female Pokémon must have left the jeep.
"What are you two doing here? I thought we told you not to come with us!" Wondered David.
"Blame the Pokémon that gave us your Pokéballs!" Julia smiled and held up the two belts with the Pokéballs.
"And not to mention we want to help you!" April added and in her mind, continued the Dark/Ice Type, ~Not to mention that I want to know you better… Perhaps you are just the type of men I want for myself!~
A smirk appeared on her face, causing David to wonder what waas in her mind, since he didn't look the same. Not to forget that he couldn't look into the mind of a dark type.
Then a sigh came out of the trainer. "Fine… Since you are already here!"
The girls nodded with a smile, and they all ran into the construction.
Inside, they found grunts healing their Pokémon on the station, but as they saw the two incoming trainers, they decided not to risk a fight and ran out.
Shrugging this behavior off, they proceeded on, and just reached the last platform as Hitmontop hit either Ferilgator or Entei. None of them were able to tell where it exactly.
After a short time the dusk cleared and…
Entei was lying on the ground; Hitmontop and Ferilgator were panting heavily, and barely able to stand.
Wes called his two Pokémon back, and David asked, "Are you alright?"
"Rui and me, yeah, but our Pokémon need rest!" Wes explained, while he charged and threw a Snag Ball.
The Great Ball charged into a Snag Ball captured the knocked out Legendary, and Iain was the first to grab the ball, and tossed it to Wes before Dakim reached them.
Iain just punched Dakim in the stomach, and the big man fell on his knees, groaning in pain.
Julia watched, amazed at Iain, and with a blush, told herself that he was really strong and good looking.
Iain noticed the blush and wondered why the female Gardevoir was blushing.
Wes looked at April and Julia, and asked David if they found them in the lab.
"Yeah! They are two of the few Pokémon we were able to save from being killed." Told David sadly.
Wes could feel that his friend was disappointed about not being able to save more of the Shine Pokémon, but since they are such a threat to Cipher, it is clear that this Organization would try to get rid of them.
Rui gasped suddenly, and rushed over to the man lying on the ground. "Hey, are you alright?"
The man groaned, "Barely… But thanks for the help!"
"It's no problem!" Wes replied.
"I am Vander! And who are you?" Asked the man.
They introduced themselves, and told him what they were doing.
"Well… That explains the attack on us," sighed Vander.
Suddenly, they heard a groan. The group looked and saw how Dakim stood up. "This isn't over yet!"
"Look at yourself! You can barely stand on your own, yet you want to fight us?" Laughed Iain; but to everyone's surprise, Dakim laughed and suddenly jumped from the platform.
"I will train for next time! And even stronger Pokémon are being made at this very moment!" He called out while he disappeared into the deeps.
"This guy must be crazy!" David shouted, and noticed something. "And he lost an Ein File!"
Vander approached them. "This attack is really weird… I think it is safe if I give you this!"
He held out a flute, and Iain asked, "What is that?"
"This is a time flute! It is said that it has the power of summoning Celebi!" Explained Vander. "But why did they want it?"
"Wait a moment… As I encountered Cipher at the shrine, Celebi appeared and did something that purified Hitmontop!" Exclaimed Wes.
"Then we have the reason!" Sighed David. "But are you sure about giving it to us?"
"I found it on my travels, but I am sure that it is safe in your hands! Just be careful in your future travels!"
"We will!" David assured him. "And I will take the challenge here for sure once everything is over!"
"I am looking forward to it!" Vander smiled, and after saying goodbye, the friends went in their vehicles, and began their return to the mobile base.
