Chapter 72 The Siege of Castelia City Part 3
Shores of Castelia City, 10:10 pm
The army commanders are being desperate enough now that they have to mind civilians and a mysterious amphibious fleet coming upon the shores. The whole place is rattled by several explosions around them as they are being constantly shelled by enemy ships from affar. The gym leaders near their location are providing all the support they could like allowing some of their Pokémon to carry as many people as possible.
"Sir, there are too many aircraft being use, it was estimated to be a thousand aircraft." A lieutenant reported to them.
"Call the other regions of the URA to cooperate. This is now becoming a national emergency." The commander replied. He then murmured "How are they able to slip thru our radar? We are expecting an attack but not this sudden."
115 km. South of Castelia City, 10:15 pm
The aircraft coming from the other world are the first ones to come out of the portal created by the Unovan 8th fleet. They are composed of 16 F-18s, 20 F-8s and 12 F-4s accompanied with 3 F-22s piloted by the Wand Trio, two F-15s pilot by America and his wingman, and 45 KND flying machines that greatly vary. Upon exiting portal, they immediately came in a thick concentration of missiles and flak which surprises everyone. KND immediately uses their own electronic warfare capabilities which shut down the motors of the anti-missiles and the aircraft begins to dodge the flak-filled air. Suddenly, Pokémon came out from the aircraft used by the Unovan Naval Air Arm thru specialized light-releasing plasma outlets and began engaging the enemy Pokémon opposition. The F-15s, F-22s, and the KND aircraft fires their Beyond Visual Range missiles and they all homed hits.
"Weak as expected." America replied "This is F-15 AWACS 1, we have a group of aircraft approaching at 9:00 firing missile at us."
"I still haven't used the KND data link!" another kid replied. On America's call, the aircraft immediately does evasive action and they missed several of the missiles. However, 10 aircraft got caught in the missile's huge blast radius and they receive a lot of shrapnel from the blast, forcing all pilots to bail out while watching their planes smoking downwards towards the ocean. Another volley was fired by the enemy, but 4 KND C.O.O.L.B.U.S. intercepted them using their rubber band countermeasures. Their machines receives some damage, forcing 2 of the said flying machines to retreat. The other two stayed and was determined to launch a counterattack. They fired a volley of KND missiles and they homed at two aircraft. They manages to come closer and acquire visual range.
"This is Numbuh 110 and my Sector, these are F-14s." one of them reported.
"No wonder why I could see them." America responded. "#86, is the data link updated?"
"It is!" #2 responded. Suddenly, several dots are seen throughout the radar screen of his F-15, and they are surprised to know that they are surrounded by a lot of aircraft.
"What the… THIS IS AS IF DIMMSDALE IS BEING INVADED!" America freaked out.
"Whatever…" #86 said " Kids Next Door, TO BATTLESTATIONS!" Immediately, the KND begins to separate and engages the enemy. Within seconds, they shot down 20 aircraft out of numerous ones without losing anything. They began firing lasers at close range and they quickly disoriented the enemy F-14s that has a roundel similar to the one Team Galactic uses, which was effectively taken a shot and send to the carrier still transversing the interdimensional pathway between the two worlds. Unova was surprised at this development.
"I never thought that USS Joanna Hopes is going to be used in this." Unova remarked while seeing the roundel and aircraft's picture.
"What is that ship? I never remembered naming one…" America remarked.
"USS Joanna Hopes, named after the legendary female naval ace pilot of Unova who got 15 kills before her Corsair was shot down in the Battle of the Berring Sea." Unova remarked "The ship is taken by Team Galactic while being docked in Canalave city alongside 2 submarine carriers and 4 destroyers during a Pokémon-enduced foggy day. She is the first one to have been fitted by F-14s during that incident with deliveries for the Eastern Islands, but they are gone in a snap."
"I'm interested in this Battle of the Berring Sea… my dream since the Cold War da…" Russia remarked with his aura freaking China and Japan out. "But even a carrier cannot go undetected like that."
"That is not the only case…" Unova remarked "Our world lost 15 aircraft carriers, over 2 battleships, 15 cruisers of all types, countless destroyers, subs, aircrafts, gunboats… GAH! They always give me headaches!" He began scratching his head out of disappointment.
"America-san, can you do EW tactics?" Japan immediately said to the radio.
"Good thing I brought a jamming pod…" America remarked "But I'm already feeding the data link KND gave me, they said they'll be the ones jamming the radar since they already figured out the radar signatures of every aircraft in the area, except the one used by one of them which bares similarity with what the one used by the Wand Trio…"
Upon hearing that, Britain snatches the radio used by Japan and yelled "BLOODY *(^*&^&, GET THE KND IN THAT BLOODY COORDINATE WHERE THE AIRCRAFT WAS! THAT'S THEIR STOLEN TECHNOLOGY BY THE OTLI!"
"By the way…" America recalled "…the opening is teaming with ships of all sorts by the enemy. We are trying to shoot it down but only the KND has the ability to sink 'em all."
Unova pushes Britain aside and said "How many?"
"Hundreds of them."
"Fleet Admiral, order all men to do a battle box with those with the highest caliber guns at the side. We'll be pounding ships in Second Great War fashion…" Unova remarked. Suddenly, Germany asks Unova "Let me tell you that pounding ships is old school in the missile age…"
"I know that…" Unova remarked "But let me just say that sometimes, we teleport our ships in ways you guys can't do… and can you mind the Italian over there who seems to be scared at the fact we are going to battle…" Unova pointed out at the Italy already scurrying for a way to rescue himself once the fleet engages the enemy.
"Just let him…" Germany said "…let me just say that's always his reaction every single time…"
America gave the coordinates of the non-jammable radar the combined forces had failed to blind. Unknown to him, the position was immediately acted upon by the KND's biplane squadrons used by the sectors from Germany and Poland. However, they met heavy resistance by enemy Pokémon and Eliminators, alongside a thick layer of Anti-Aircraft Flak and Stealth Rocks blocking their way. Suddenly, a white beam manages to destroy the non-biological objects and freed the bondage the OTLI has on the Pokémon blocking. Just as the KND squadron closes in, a sinister black beam hits two of them, where two pilots manages to bail out safely. The beam richochet in several directions and shoots all the KND biplane squadron, shooting them down for good.
"# 905, do you copy?" # 86 yelled at the radio. All she heard are German curses that are not even appropriate for a child to learn.
"We'll put him in a retrainer back home." #2 comments. However, the Irish child shouted and said "THIS IS NO JOKE! JUST GET THAT DATA LINKS UP AND LEAD THEM TO OUR STOLEN TECHNOLOGY!"
On the flight deck of Unova's ship, two Osprey-like airships begins to have their propellers churning. Several Pokémon and people are boarding the said ship alongside several helicopters and 12 planes that looks like the vertical take-off and landing Sea Harriers and two black Go-229D stealth fighters, all waiting for a take-off clearance. The two first stealth fighters from the Pokémon world took flight carrying a Pokémon-capturing device while the helicopters took off next.
"So that's how Unova manages to keep a lot of aircraft in a single carrier…" France was amazed on how two more Harriers are rematerialized from a small capsule-like container similar to a Pokeball while looking at the bridge of the shihp.
"Da, I wonder how they could stabilize peace in this world." Russia just gave a smile "Imagine taking one of that technology home…"
"That's impossible." Unova said behind them "I'll bet with my pokedollars that you would not even mass produce that. The plant used in them can only be grown in Johto and in a special place in Unova called the Entralink. The whole system is monopolized in accordance to the agreement drafted in the Trainer-Alliance Leadership Defense Program of 1947 to prevent any group from conquering the world by military means." Just then, someone came in and said "Unova, time for Plan B."
"Roger that!" Unova enthusiastically replied with a salute. "I have to go now…"
"Wait!" Britain yelled at him "I would want to pilot one of the Harriers. Who knows, maybe America might be careless…"
"Britain's tsundereness ability just got activated, honhonhonhon." France said. Britain slammed his wand at him and turned him into a Smoochum.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!" France yelled toward him.
"Well, you Smoo- I mean, Franchum,I would turn you to a Franterpie instead." Britain grinned at him with his aura on. Suddenly, Russia's aura overpowered his and the Brit is now shrinking in fear.
"Alright…" Unova said "But the Russian might not fit in the cockpit of the last remaining Harrier. Nihon, can you do it instead?"
"Hai." Japan replied "Before that, I have here all the Pokémon I gave you last. They'll be of great help if ever you guys would want to fight again…"
Up in the air over the sea, the Wand Trio is now on the supporting role of helping the forces of the KND and Unovan Navy in holding the ground and airspace they have already taken. After taking out 12 planes using their beams, they have not yet experienced any close-range battle since the KND and their allied Pokémon easily wards off any intruder protecting them. Suddenly, a black beam was seen streaking above them and destroys two KND M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.T.O.H.s, with 2 kid pilots bailing out. Immediately, the three already got a bad feeling on who's the one piloting the plane firing the black beams.
"This is bad…" Timmy said "…I have a feeling that we know him…"
