Draconis' lair
"NOW!" Shadow yelled, and the five members of Team Saviours leapt down the cliff.
"Taste this! Volt Tackle!" Shadow slammed into the manetric, surrounded with golden electricity.
"Fire Fang!" Mighty's fangs became engulfed with fire as he bit the manetric, that hadn't yet had time to recover from Shadow's attack.
"Shadow Force!" Whitetail finished the wild pokémon off with her father's special move. Then she turned for the luxray. "Raargh! I'm on rampage! Claws of Light and Darkness!" Too bad, the luxray took a leap to the side as the eevee came flying, and Whitetail crashed right into the cliff wall.
"So epic." Aura stated, before crying out: "Aura Sphere!" and sending a ball of blue aura towards the luxray, that was still distracted over its victory over Whitetail, hitting it straight in the chest.
"Hey! Guys! Wait!" Nyara tried to follow, but managed to stumble and fall down the cliff instead.
"I wanna help!" Feather cried out. "Gust!" He flew towards the luxray and started flapping his wings, creating a miniature tornado that hit the luxray, but as it wasn't effective, and Feather was on a low level, the luxray took no visible damage. It jumped onto Feather, forcing him to the ground with its big paws, and...
"Eeeeeek!" Nyara came falling down the cliff and crashed into the luxray, both of them flying into a big rock not far from there.
"Nyara! Are you okay?" Aura asked in concern. The meowth stepped up, looking a bit dizzy, but otherwise she didn't seem hurt. The luxray, on the other hand, was knocked out.
"Urrgh. I guess I'm fine." she stated.
"You saved my life!" Feather yelled and jumped up to Nyara, giving her a fierce hug. "Thanks!" Nyara looked embarrassed.
"All right." Whitetail got up from the ground. "Let's go! Just ignoring the fact that everyone missed my awesomeness." They ran off into the cave.
They didn't find what they expected inside the cave. They had been sure that it would look primitive, but now they seemed to be standing inside a high-tech lab, even if it was totally dark. They stood at the top of some stairs, which led down to some sort of control panel, just under a cage, in which a certain pokémon was locked up.
"Lord Giratina!" Mighty howled, his reaction being the fastest, and dashed down the stairs, soon followed by Shadow and Whitetail. Giratina, who had been staring at something they didn't see, turned his head towards them. At once, panic lit up in his gleaming red eyes.
"Mighty? Shadow? Whitetail? No! What are you doing here? Get out of here, quick! Before he notices!" he cried out as the three of them got down from the stairs, slamming his claws into the cage's ribs. But all of a sudden, several other electric-types jumped out of the shadows and fired Thunderbolts at Giratina, who roared in pain.
"Too late." Draconis stepped out of the shadows, right in front of Mighty, Shadow and Whitetail. Aura, Feather and Nyara all stopped in their tracks, still halfway down the stairs.
"You!" Mighty hissed. "What do you think you're doing to Lord Giratina?"
"Punishing him." the young man said without a slightest doubt in his voice. "He's done a horrifying thing, and I have the right to punish him for my ancestor's sake."
"Your... ancestor?" Shadow stared at Draconis. "What are you talking about? What has Giratina ever done to deserve this?" He pointed at the electric-types attacking Giratina, as the dragon twitched in pain.
"When I was a young boy, my father told me a tale." Draconis said, glaring at the pikachu, his green eyes meeting Shadow's purple ones. "He told me about what happened 3.000 years ago. How my ancestor was killed by Giratina, and how his sister passed on his tale to all of her own descendants. I'm the final descendant of that sister, and I'm here to avenge my ancestor!"
"You leave Lord Giratina alone!" Mighty howled and took a leap against Draconis, fangs bared. The human didn't show any side of fear, he simply clapped his hands, and at once, an electabuzz left its position attacking Giratina and attacked Mighty instead.
"Mighty! Watch out!" Whitetail yelled and hurled herself onto the electabuzz, soon followed by Shadow. Aura dashed down the stairs to help them out, only to be attacked by an ampharos. Feather and, strangely, Nyara soon followed to help Aura out. A battle was unfolding.
"Take this, you bastards!" Whitetail yelled out as she and Mighty fired double Shadow Balls at the electabuzz, which was knocked off its feet, but soon got up again. They all fought their best, but Draconis commanded more electric pokémon to attack them, but there were still about ten ones that attacked Giratina.
"We need to do something to help Giratina!" Shadow yelled to Aura when they were pressed back to back in the heat of the battle. "Do you see the control panel over there? I think that there should be a button there to open the cage!"
"Sure!" Aura said. "But Shadow, just one thing..." And before Shadow got to react, she had kissed him on the cheek. Then she dashed off through the battling crowd of pokémon, towards the control panel. Shadow didn't get time to think much, as a luxray attacked him just seconds after that. He knocked it down with Volt Tackle, and soon found himself face to face with Draconis, who had cast his black cloak to the side to reveal a sharp sword. He pointed it at Shadow.
"Your little quest ends here!" he sneered. Shadow glared at him, when he suddenly came to a realization. There was only one explanation to who Draconis' ancestor was. Giratina had only killed one single human ever, no matter what human legends said. And that human... was himself.
