Chapter 73 The Siege of Castelia City Part 4

100 km. South of Unova 10:16 pm

The already dark night skies suddenly got covered in black clouds as an intense air battle is going on between the forces of Unova and KND against the forces of the OTLI. Several aircraft are seen spiraling down the deck alongside several Pokémon having their own fight against each other. The chosen ones from three world are trying to stop a hugely organized amphibious attack on Unova shores, fighting alongside the Unovan forces.

"Does anyone know why they would attack Unova instead of attacking the shores of Kanto?" Max immediately radioed in as he is riding on another electric legendary named Raikou, acting as a lookout on top of a building overlooking the shores of Castelia city. Several small ships are seen trying to land the said city. However, they are immediately sunk by several Jellicents who are, in turn, attacked by several Tentacools and Tentacruels in a Jellifish fight, supported by various kinds of other Pokémon.

"This carnage will not stop until everything goes in a proper way." Raikou said to the young trainer "However, we are warned that this is a diversion into overlooking what is happening right above us…"

Max looks at the sky above him and saw what he perceived as an eye of the storm. He gave off a sweatdrop and replied "That's just a storm that Misty and Kyogre could pull off."

"YOU HAVE BEEN TO A TOP-SECRET CHILDREN'S ORGANIZATION AND YOU WON'T RECOGNIZE HIM?" Raikou yelled at him.

"I'm just joking." Max smilingly replied "But seriously, that's the Darkness? I just thought he'll be just a thick, dark cloud encircling our planet and absorbing it."

"However, as long as the other guardians come in, we are safe." Raikou replied. "In fact, the most powerful ones are here!"

The Wand Trio decided to test their wits against the aircraft that fired the black beam at them. At first, they decided to form their usual Line Abreast formation and fired a beam, but the pilot dodges and 4 other enemy aircraft was hit by the beam they fired. They are about to communicate their new kills but they noticed that someone else is trying to show his or her face in the KND communication device. They accepted the request and they saw a photo that surprised all of them.

"Remy!" All three of them yelled in unison.

"Glad you recognized me…" the kid's voice replied "…you see. I'm your…" Suddenly, another call was achieved and this time, it's from Numbuh 5.

"This is Numbuh 5 from Sector V, wait, your Remy Buxaplenty, the kid who got lost for weeks already." Her voice radiates thru the Wand Trio's helmets.

"Drat…" Remy replied in disgust. He then murmured "I should know that opening this silly communication…"

"Wait a second…" #5 said "Your flying in the Unregistered R.A.P.T.O.R. we made for those three. Sorry but you seem to be in need of serious…"

"Ha! You thought you could shoot me down?" Remy replied. Just then, the three wand wielders heard a missile lock from behind them. They quickly did an evasive maneuver and shot up some chaff in a form of a defensive split. They noticed that it was actually a black beam heading towards them, missing them by a few yards.

"That was close…" Tootie remarked in her mind. Just then, Tootie received another lock and this time is from an all-aspect sidewinder.

"Great, who has the idea of using a defensive split and isolate Tootie!" Trixie yelled at the others using telepathy.

"Sorry to bother you but I did." Remy replied "And say hello as… oh great!" Tootie greeted the missile heading towards her with a rubber band countermeasure and it exploded right behind her. Immediately, her radar noticed that she immediately went into merge. Tootie noticed that the aircraft above her has the same wand-like contraption like how their planes are equipped, thus raising suspicion on who really is the pilot of the aircraft.

"Timmy, I got the mystery for you to answer." Remy said "There's a boy who was rejected twice by what he considered a friend and a girl who was just thinking about popularity and was into a short-term relationship with him until she would have enough of him. This boy got so lonely because what he thought are people to associate with as a substitute for his parents who never even loved him and a fairy who has no way but cook awful food… Oh by the way, I have a surprise for you." Timmy detects a missile lock behind him and he dodged upward. Similarly, Trixie separated and dives down, effectively separating the three wand wielders.

"Great, Remy, I got the mystery. Don't tell me you're…"

"OF COURSE YOU DUMBHEAD! I'M THE FOURTH WIELDER!" Remy yelled at them which shocks everyone listening. Just then, #1 yelled at the radio "Everyone who has a data link, go to Sector 564 above the City and shoot down the plane at all cause!"

"If you could." Remy said "All Leroy jets and Eliminators, go to my sector and isolate the moth and the butteflies. Leave this fight to us."

"Oh yeah, well… GREAT!" #1's voice suddenly become different "This is Sector V's S.C.A.M.P.E.R., we are under attack by robots, sorry but we have to cut communication…" Suddenly, the communication from Sector V was cut off.

"We've got no choice but to fight…" Timmy said "Alright team, regroup…"

"If you can…" This time, Trixie immediately has another lock and does evasive action by climbing her aircraft's nose up and sliding her aircraft towards the right in an elaborate three dimensional thrust vectoring maneuver. The nose of the aircraft form a nearly close letter D drawn in the sky and when the nose points at the ground, she continues the dive. The missile from Remy's plane tried to follow her but immediately loses lock because of the high G maneuver she just performed.

Feeling the pain Trixie has to endure during the entire manuever, Timmy and Tootie telepathically said "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." She replied "I never felt that pain before, even the G-suit used by the KND is no match, I even have a black out!"

"We have to cooperate and shoot him down…" Timmy said. He then yelled at the radio "Remy, there is no way you would win a three versus one dogfight!"

"Oh yeah? Well, just saying cause…" Timmy now has the similar lock and Remy continued "I'm going to force all of you to a defensive!"

The ships of the Unovan 8th fleet are now ending the journey that took them 5 minutes longer than the 15 minutes they expected. The Osprey-like aircraft that Unova dubbed as the Tranquill Express took off. The ships is now in battle-ready formation with helicopters above bearing lots of anti-ship armament.

"We are engaging…" the Fleet Commander respondent "In three…"

"Two…"

"This is getting SUSPENSEFUL!" Italy yelled and hides once again in the ship.

"ONE…" they broke thru the end of the portal and the ships and aircraft engages the enemy. Seconds turns to minutes as several huge artillery and missile blasts are heard hitting the water and ships. Lightning bolts alongside fire pillars and stone are seen, with explosions everywhere in the air and in the sea. Within a minute of engagement, the 8th fleet manages to break thru and sank 14 ships and 2 submarines, with an impressive no casualty rate. The ships suddenly went into missile barrage and cannon fire, and several ships are immediately crippled with some lives lost and injured, a bloody conflict all for the land of Unova.

"Still bothers me how come this lost of life did not happen in our world in that Airwar." Germany remarked.

"It's because of the KND-aru." China replied "They have the highest safety record. Even the red guards have a difficulty dealing with them since they value life and prisons more than casualties. Perhaps the data link help save our pilot's lives." Within 5 minutes, 4 ships are lost with a dozen casualties per ship, which surprised them more.

"Da, I just thought it will be a blood bath…" Russia said "…turns out, protect has more use!"

"Don't bother asking at the obvious." Germany replied at him.

"But still, a few casualties in such a majestingly deadly battlefield doesn't make any…" the bridge of the carrier was immediately hit by an enemy missile and a huge explosion covered them. Every crew member located there was thrown away towards the water. Upon climbing out to take a breath, a light shone below them and several Lanturns appear. Even more surprising is that upon having a head count by the commander, no one is injured.

"How are you guys able to live-aru? That attack is extremely deadly!" China yelled at the Fleet Admiral staying beside his Lanturn and Swampert.

"The move protect always becomes handy." The Admiral replied "I saw it before it hit the bridge. Those who died are young sailors who thought not having protect in their Pokémon is a very good idea."

"Let's find an allied ship and carry us back at the carrier." France said while trying to keep his Smoochum hair dry.

"No need." The Admiral replied "Musharna, go out and used teleport, target, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower's flight deck."

Farther from them, 190 km. East of the Portal, the Unovan 9th fleet is sailing to establish an effective stand-off distance. One reconnaissance Pokémon caught the incident on tape. Manning the USS Nimitz, the Admiral decided to contact the Unovan 6th Fleet and the URA's 16-carrier anti-invasion fleet command to launch a massive air attack at the enemy fleet composed of 8 carrier and countless battleships, destroyers, cruisers, and other small ships.

"Tactics like this is meaningless…" the Admiral of the 9th fleet remarked "Casualties are mounting up fast, several Pokémon are hurt and dying. This ruthless force must die and pay."

10 km. West of the Unovan 9th fleet, a group of 15 huge submarines, with one having what seems like a flight deck, are hovering thru the waters towards Unova. They are also surrounded by several submarines designed out of Manta Rays and Water Pokémon, most of those coming from the Hoenn region.

"This plan better work…" a shadowy figure said.

"Of course, it should. As long as Kyogre and Groudon are helping this, we must cooperate." Another one replied "Besides, after disbanding, we decided to secretly cooperate with the AES government. Perhaps this will be a battle we are waiting for…"

Meanwhile, somewhere in Unova,

"N…" a familiar voice said "You could now see the torture done to the Pokémon in here. It is now to…"

"I don't know…" a male voice replied. Only a part of his hat and green hair was seen in the dark as the gloomy events of war are seen in the television "…but the Pokémon are even willing to protect humankind. They perceive that the threat from this mysterious force is more of a threat even to a world beyond ours. I could also sense powers I can't perceive, but they are powerful enough that combined, it will unleash either destruction or repair."

"Well, in that case, just see on the abuses the military is doing…" a swirling of the wine glass is seen, being done by a sinister hand "…perhaps that will change your mind my King."

"However, the Pokémon are speaking…" the boy replied in gloom "…the skies are the most important aspect of this

battle."

A/N: Alright, I'm putting N and Ghetsis as a commentary for a third person view for a gloomy effect, since Pokémon are being used by both sides.

As for casualty rates, technically, it should be much higher, but thanks to a powerful move known as protect, they are minimized in this world. On the other hand, the Airwar should also yield the same. However, they are close to zilch since the KND has a trick to let the pilots bail out milliseconds before a missile hit, a technic requested by all countries prior to the battle against the Darkness.

I'll be answering this since there might be questions regarding both fronts. As long as I should not type detailed gore, the ratings won't go up.
