Faithful Readers List:Daownlyone, MagmaLava
Faithful Readers Privileges:Minor requests will be allowed without much consideration. Major requests will be reviewed before implementing or rejecting it. Your name will also be listed at the beginning of every chapter, giving you some glory (maybe?). Also, you may PM me to know a Dexholder's ability. (You can request to know future ones like Diamond or Green, or existing ones, since their abilities will improve time per time, similar to level-up.) Lastly, you may suggest a small ability to be added to one of the Dexholders.
How to be listed as a Faithful Reader:Just review three times straight (not in one day) and the reviews has to at least have a significant length. Be warned, it will be revoked if you went missing for a specific period of time.
Reviews:
Hunter-35: Well... I never watched Bleach before...
MagmaLava: Well, I didn't knew that the leaf sword resembles Gallade in some way, but I guess thats good :D
Tyhe2476: Be patient so that the chemistry could slowly be built up!
AlphaReapr: Water manipulation is nonsense. Too weak for someone as cool as Green. About the Arceus-scale power thing... I may consider it as the combined attacks of the Dexholders.
Daownlyone: I disagree with the downgrade of Blue's ability since the drawback of her ability is that if the replicate gets damaged, she suffers the same damage on her own body. That again, the replication cast range must be nearby her so that she could slowly make the replicate. She couldn't just replicate via her thoughts. Lastly, about Diamond's ability, OF COURSE IT WILL BE IMPROVED :D
Mi-Chan: Thank you :D I guess I shall work hard to keep your love towards this story in place then!
Special Adventures – Radiant versus Dire
Arc 1 – Immersing in our own power
Chapter 7 – Homeland under siege
Night sky is always beautiful for someone with a silent personality. Too bad someone will always be there to disturb the peace.
"What are you doing outside the mansion, Green? Everyone is playing poker inside except you, mister anti-social." Blue said while beaming at the spiky-haired boy. The boy in question sighed and turned to the cheerful girl.
"Shut up, pesky girl. Now if you don't mind, can you go in and let me have some time of my own?"
"Sorry, but I mind." Blue leaped to Green as she took a seat beside the groaning boy.
Realizing that resistance is futile, Green ignored Blue and continued staring at the night sky. Silence envelops the air with Blue contemplating what to say to the boy beside her.
"Blue... am I useless?" Something that Green would never say actually came out from his mouth. Blue looked at him with awe.
"What was that?"
"I said, I felt useless. Everyone got their abilities, but mine was never found. Maybe Arceus never planned to let me have one in the first place. Without an ability or Pokemons, I am just cannon fodder in the battle against Dire." Green sighed as he tried his best to stay calm. Blue hugged Green from behind in surprise.
"Idiot, you're not useless. In fact, you're the most heroic person I knew through my life. Remember the event on Sevii Islands? You fought so hard to help me before you knew that your grandfather was captured too. Even when Red gave up, you still decided to fight solo, didn't you?" Blue smiled to the boy once again, taking him by surprise.
Green was silent. He didn't know what to say to the girl.
"Your ability will be found, Green. I promise you." Blue finished the encounter with a light kiss on the Gym Leader's cheek as she walked back into the mansion.
"Annoying woman..." Green smiled for the first time of the month as he turned his gaze back to the night sky, stargazing while numerous incidents and matters ran through his mind.
Something just have to break the peace. Again.
Green took note of the objects in the sky. He tried to count the number of objects flying towards him, but the sky is just too dark for him to do so. By instinct, he ran back towards the mansion, looked at everyone that is busy playing poker while Gold grinned for winning a load of money from the distraught Silver.
"Everyone, stop the game. We have a problem."
The Dexholders instantly took defensive positions through the behind part of the mansion and prepared to fend off the incoming attackers. Red, being hot blooded as usual, summoned his fire phoenix and flew straight towards the sky instead, preparing for a fierce aerial battle against the invaders.
Without a proper weapon, Pearl, Emerald and Green took makeshift snipers Emerald made, this time with real bullets in it. Sapphire asked Crystal to make a crystallized hammer for her instead, and then called her heiress junior to empower it with her power enhancement spell. Gold prepared his indestructible lightning rod (billiard cue) and aimed at the sky as he caused a thunderstorm that he would use to cause havoc in the invaders' ranks.
Blue made a replicate of Yellow as Yellow and the replicate prepared to heal any Dexholder that suffers any injuries. Silver just aimed his MAI towards the sky as he patiently waited for the enemies to get close. His Pokegear rang, but he didn't care since a battle is sure to implode minutes after. Platinum took her stance behind the leaf sword carrying relaxed boy. He didn't seem relaxed at all this time around, nor is he seen chunking on any type of food that he normally would.
Pearl, being the sniper, stabilized his stance at the second floor window of the mansion, and took aim as he shot down the first enemy with it. A person riding a Staraptor is seen pummeling down the ground with the help of gravity as Pearl made a victory gesture to Emerald which he reluctantly ignored Pearl's bragging and took aim with full concentration.
"Crystal!" Gold, Silver and Green yelled in unison upon looking at numerous Hyper Beams launched towards the mansion's backyard where everyone started attacking with numerous types of weapons. Crystal formed thick layers of crystal walls in defence. Green, being the one with the best strategy and calmness, stood at the frontlines so that he could order any plans or strategies as the battle went on. If Red was in command, then the Dexholders will be wiped out in approximately five minutes due to her hotheaded and imbecile personality, or so Green thought. This is further proved when Red took to the skies before anyone else could stop him.
Platinum repeatedly empowered Diamond with power enhancing spell while he formed and threw leaf swords towards the enemy aerial force with high speed. Each of them hit their targets dead center as one followed by another dropped down from the skies along with their Pokemon. Yellow would be worried about the poor Pokemon getting hurt or even killed, but Green didn't give a damn as he took aim and tried to search for their leader.
"Wait, I sense something below the ground!" Silver yelled on top of his lungs as everyone look around to see numerous Digletts and Dugtrios emerged under the ground and surrounded the Dexholders with nothing but the backyard fence to separate them from the shocked Dexholders.
"Forget ranged defense! Assault!" Sapphire yelled as she started playing the whacking-a-mole game with her crystal hammer. She proved to be very powerful when one after another Digletts and Dugtrios got slammed back into the underground while the enemy grunts tried their best to command their Pokemon that is being whacked back into the ground. Gold channeled his thunderstorm as pillars of thunder ravaged through the entire enemy aerial force, striking multiple enemies down and causing their formation to spread much to Gold's dismay. Crystal repetitively formed defense barricades while Red seemed to improve in controlling of his abilities when the Dexholders saw three fire phoenixes soaring around the sky, breathing out firebolts towards the enemy aerial force. However, things started to get complicated when one of the enemy Hydreigon appeared from the ranks and used a deadly Draco Meteor that caused Red to loosen his grip from his phoenix, effectively causing him to pummel down. Luckily, Yellow noticed the Kanto champion suffering enormous damage from the floor and instantly healed him of his injuries with her Healing Bolt. Red gave her a thumbs up as he soared up the sky once again, this time with five phoenixes while he rode the middle one.
The Dexholders fought valiantly, but the enemy numbers showed no signs of decreasing or retreating.
"It's like they're trying to trap us in this place or something with sheer numbers!" Green said as he swatted a Dusclops away with his sniper.
"You don't say!" Gold said as he changed his plan and started attacking the invaders that dug up from the ground with his thunder billiard cue charged with heavy volts of electricity in it, effectively shocking the grunts to scraps of burned flesh.
One Dragon Pulse suddenly was shot from a range that is far possible to accomplish as it struck the mansion window hard. Platinum and Diamond looked back in awe and realized that was the place the hasty Dexholder was standing while providing supportive fire.
"Pearl! Are you alright?" Pearl instantly denied her question when he started pummeling down from the window with fully bloodied clothes and body. Platinum closed her eyes, unable to see the bloodied death of her close friend. Luckily, someone had this under control, being the crazy-prepared style she was all along.
"Not a problem!" Blue yelled while commanding her replicate through telepathy to revive Pearl, but costing her and her replicate all of her energies after the spell successfully finished casting.
Green abandoned his job as the defensive commander and ran towards Blue, picked her up bridal-style and ran inside the mansion, placing her somewhere safe from the battle...no, war, to be exact.
"What in the world are they planning to do with that sheer number of weak force charging blindly at our mansion?" Silver said as he shot paralyzation bullets towards the aerial Pokemons invading them and caused most of the attacked targets to pause and then pummeling down to the cold hard ground, effectively suffering damage from being pulled down by mother Earth.
"Platinum! Mind giving me a hand by boosting me with speed?" Gold yelled while turning his head towards the heiress, which the heiress immediately reacted with a spell that empowered Gold through his body. He used his power of electricity to form some sort of magnet field as he rose up into the sky and started channeling a makeshift electric shield, then tried to channel something else again.
"Senior Gold, do you really know what you're doing?!" Platinum yelled on top of her lungs despite her normally silent personality. This is NOT the time to discuss about problems with personality.
Having experienced death just moments ago, Pearl decided to play safe when he steps behind and near Crystal so that she could form shields when the enemy tries to attack them.
Sapphire repeatedly knocked down the attackers but one managed to slip behind her without warning. With a shriek, Sapphire took a step forward to avoid the knife slashing after her back, and the tip of the knife missed... barely. Sapphire prepared to teach the grunt a thing or two about backstabbing when another one emerged from the ground and proceeded to do the same thing right behind her. Noticing her death inbound, she closed her eyes but what she heard is the moaning of two men instead. Opening her eyes once again, she noticed the two attackers fell to the ground with their body full of blood.
"You imbecile barbarian! Concentrate on the battle so that I won't have to cover your ass!" Ruby yelled angrily while casting another Chaos Meteor towards the just-arrived land reinforcements of the attacking force. Apparently Ruby struck them with two Sun Strike. Despite the lack of the presence of the Sun, Ruby used his senior (Red)'s fire phoenixes and channeled their fire towards the ground instead, costing two of the phoenixes covering Red's wing in the process. Red frowned about his junior using his power without request and permission but got over it nonetheless.
"Super Rising Thunder Mark 2!"
Just then, Gold finished channeling and released a huge shockwave of electricity in the sky, knocking the whole enemy aerial force down to the ground. Red barely managed to evade the blast as he forced his phoenix to flew lower, but the other fire phoenixes were... not so lucky. Whoever that survived the electric blast will receive their punishment of death soon after with the help of gravity once again. Red shouted out loud towards the levitating gold-capped boy. "Gold! At least warn me before doing something like that, I almost died over there!"
"Sorry, didn't see you over there." Gold sheepishly commented while dropping back to the ground slowly to recharge his power.
The battle continued with Yellow healing any wounded Dexholders while they fight fearlessly against the invaders. They were determined to defend their mansion from the attackers because obviously standing united is going to send their enemies flying. The commander behind the strike force finally ordered a retreat after monitoring the situation.
"Sir, aren't we supposed to destroy the mansion and the Dexholders? How are you going to report to Boss Sird in this rate?"
"Relax, we are only given orders to keep the Dexholders in their mansion, or at least within the city while the others do the... important work." The commander of the Dire strikeforce grinned menacingly while he took off with his Salamence. The surviving grunts and squad leaders slowly retreated away from the battlefield, while the Dexholders decided against chasing their opponent down as Green deemed unfit in case they fell into a trap or something. Besides, after the ferocious battle, everyone deserves a time to catch their breath.
"Whew, that was some battle I fought within a long time." Blue walked out of the mansion, commenting while everyone else narrowed their eyes and glared at her. "You just slept soundly in the mansion while we took down the invaders." Sapphire and Gold retaliated in unison while Green discussed about the last battle along with Red and Platinum.
"I have a strong feeling that their main purpose was not trying to wipe us out, Senior..." Platinum said as Diamond and Pearl high-fived for winning the battle. Ruby on the other hand, was not so lucky as he got slammed by Sapphire for not helping much in the battle. (He said he refused to dirty his clothes with battle, typical Ruby...)
After awhile, everyone went in back into the mansion, following Green as he volunteered to take on the commanding role in the Dexholders' group, because obviously they're not facing some small little organization like in their normal days, but a huge one judging on the firepower and manpower they utilized just to do whatever they planned to do on the Dexholders. Everyone gathered in the underground meeting room as Green analyzed the situation to the Dexholders, which Red, didn't understand even a little of it given his idiot hero personality.
After a short while of discussing, they concluded that the Dire strikeforce did not arrived to take them down, as they are fully sure that the opponent (considering their boss is Sird the cunning maniac) will not be so stupid like a Gold (Gold: WHAT?) will attack bluntly without a strong plan that would succeed if executed properly. Green proceeded to plan out a map, and a name list so that some of the Dexholders stay awake on guard if anything like this happens again, especially during the midnight. Meanwhile, Silver entered the meeting room after taking a call with his Pokegear. His face was awfully serious.
"Green, my father would like to have a talk with you." Silver handed over his Pokegear to Green which he reluctantly received and held it to his ears.
"What do you want, Giovanni?" Red looked up in alert when heard that cursed name.
"I strongly suggest you take your group of Dexholders and come to Safforn City right now." The voice in the other end of the phonecall spoke, much to the confusion of the Dexholders while Green seemed to understood something.
"Give me a reason to do so." Green maintained his cool and collected personality despite knowing that he is speaking with someone with a high bounty on his head for being the leader of the massive criminal organization, Giovanni. (Well, maybe WAS the leader, but oh well...)
"Open your laptop and check your Skype, I am sending you the footages right now." Before Green could answer, the man hung up. Green immediately received his laptop from Platinum and logged in to his Skype. The thing he saw chilled him to the very bone.
"What... the hell..." The other Dexholders stared at the computer screen with fear. The footage presented by Giovanni is numerous cities and town through the Kanto and Jotho regions being raid and ravaged. Green was devastated when he saw his grandfather's lab burning in a pile of ash.
Green took Silver's Pokegear and dialed back to Giovanni again, considering the fact that Silver had his father's number. "Alright, what do you want?" Green tried his best to keep his cool again, failing to do so this time around as Blue tried her best to calm the Gym Leader down.
"Look – it might sound unbelievable, but I am on your side. Come to Saffron right now, and we shall set up a stronghold together given your abilities could aid me while my forces muster for a counterattack." Giovanni said through the phone. Everyone heard it loud and clear because Green putted the phone on speaker mode, so that the voice is loud enough for everyone to hear.
"What...?" Yellow stared at the Gym Leader with confusion while the others whispered among themselves to comprehend the situation. Silver just stood there silently.
"And how do we know that we could trust you? You are the bastard that tried to took Kanto by yourself long ago!" Red yelled, but what he received was a laugh in reply. "What's so funny?"
"Think, Red. Think. With Silver on your side, do you actually thought that I would attack you? Silver's friend is my friend. Besides, I only did those acts in an attempt to find my son. Now I found what I was looking for, why shall I do the villainous acts once again?" Giovanni stopped for a moment, then resumed once again. "Let me know within ten minutes of your decision, Gym Leader Green. Sabrina will teleport to your mansion and teleport you and your friends to Saffron, when you give the word. Choose wisely." Giovanni hung up on the Dexholders once again, leaving them to consider about the offer.
"What do you think, Silver?" Blue and Red turned towards the Team Rocket Leader's son.
Silver stood there, silenced for a moment until he finally spoke up. "I think my father could be trusted."
"Wait, wait!" Gold snatched the Pokegear and called the first number in the calling record list. The call connected, and the man on the other end of the call spoke up. "Made your decision, Green?"
"This is Gold of New Bark Town! Do you have any idea what happened to my mum when New Bark Town was invaded by those bastards?!"
"Oh well, speaking about that, your mother and that... hyperactive parent of Crystal is safe too. And pass the phone to Green, There's someone that wants to talk to him." Gold passed the phone to his senior while trying to figure out whether Giovanni is telling the truth while Crystal scowled at the... compliment.
"Green, are you safe over there?" The voice speaking is none other than Professor Oak.
"Grandpa? You're safe? I was worried sick when I saw your lab burning through the videos Giovanni sent me."
"Relax, Green. I am perfectly fine. Team Rocket members rescued me with their air transports for some reason, but I am currently discussing a plan that could stop the Dire's offense for at least enough time for us to muster a counterattack. I hate to say this, but the enemy of our enemy is our friend, Green. Giovanni can be trusted for the time being, I think." The professor sighed once again at the thought of working with Team Rocket.
"Understood. We will arrive shortly." Professor Oak passed the Pokegear back to Giovanni, and Green finally spoke up.
"Pick us up in ten minutes. We will be ready for the 'ride'."
