Remember how I said Bulbasaur would be less active, I'm sad to say, Bulbasaur will no longer be helping me. I know, I know. It's sad, but we will be having another story up soon! It will probably be titled legendary change, and will be Bulbasaur's project. This is now mine alone.

The day had arrived. We were going to escape.
Currently, we're in a meeting, discussing our plan of action. Alakazam was the main strategist, with it's supercomputer brain and all. It had the plan figured out just hours after I had arrived, but hadn't been sure of it's success, until now. Using it's skills, it had calculated the needed amount of strength from each of us for the plan to succeed.
Now we were going through our plan with Alakazam. It was explaining the physics of it and our roles.
Dragonite, powerhouse.
Zorua, distractions.
Bulbasaur, healing.
Alakazam, transport and commander.
Me, main individual in the plan.
We were set. The plan was ready to be set in motion and I had butterflies in my stomach.
Could I pull this off? Was Alakazam wise in placing me under so much pressure?
I didn't have the answers. Lately, I didn't have any of the answers. I would have to put all my faith in Alakazam and trust it's calculations.
Dragonite was being tested first. The test schedule looked like this:
Endurance
Strength
Speed
Stealth
Special Ability
For our endurance test, Alakazam constructed a psychic barrier, and like my testing with Dragonite, we would continuously ram into it full power. By using this method, Alakazam could also get some data on our strength from the impact, and we wouldn't have to worry about the landscape.
Dragonite stepped up to the plate and nodded towards Alakazam.
It was ready to start the test.
Alakazam waved it's spoons and a pink psychic wall appeared in front of Dragonite. Alakazam then gave the signal, and Dragonite began.
Smash! Smash! Smash!
Over and over, ramming into the psychic barrier, Dragonite never seemed to tire. Alakazam had picked our powerhouse wisely.
Three hours and twenty-six seconds later, Dragonite finally dropped to the ground in defeat.
Holy cow.
There was no way any of us would match it's time. I was anticipating a long time, but not that long!
Next, Alakazam lead us all to the clearing it trained me in. Around the edge of the clearing were logs that gradually increased in size and weight. For this test, we were to start with the smallest log, a simple fire starter, and work our way up, until we reached the log we couldn't lift.
Dragonite breezed through the first ten logs, and was now on a large log. I was guessing around 2000 pounds of weight was it's current challenge. It lifted one end of the humongous log and propped it up onto it's shoulder. I could see sweat forming on it's brow, if that's even possible, and it's muscles were rippling with every heave. It managed to get the end of the log in both hands and gave one mighty pull. With tremendous power, the log lifted into it's hands and it was obvious how much effort was going into this.
Dragonite slowly lifted the gigantic weight above it's head, waiting for Alakazam's signal that it was high enough. Feeling satisfied, Alakazam signaled Dragonite, and a resounding "crack" rang through the forest. The log had been dropped by Dragonite when Alakazam had given the okay.
On to the next exam, speed. Dragonite flew up and hovered, preparing to rocket off, displaying it's incredible speed.

Go!
With one might flap, it was off. I watched the show in awe, struck by the speed one creature could naturally obtain. Thinking this, my brain gave me a random fact, well entry. It sometimes did this, but it was becoming a rare occurrence for me. It was an excerpt from Bulbapedia:
"Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. It can circle the globe in sixteen hours, traveling roughly 1,556 mph, or about three times the speed of an average airplane."
Well, no wonder I'm awestruck, it's in Dragonite's DNA to have this speed. Having finished a little over fifty laps around the enormous facility, Dragonite touched down with thirty-seconds still left on the clock. The clock has been set for one minute, sheesh.
Alakazam informed us that Dragonite would not be participating in the stealth test, since it's job didn't require it.
Knowing that Dragonite's special ability would be it's standard pokemon attacks and combos, I snuck off for some time to myself. I glanced behind me, making sure I didn't have any followers, and ran off to my aura training ground. Using my Aura Sight to guide me, I reached it in under a minute, new record!
I eased myself down onto the grass, trying to calm my beating heart. I wanted to escape and I wanted to get out, but I didn't want to fail. All of my friends' hard work for nothing, because of me. I wanted for some reassurance from something or somebody that wasn't in the plan, but that was impossible. There had been no more failures for an entire year now. There was not a chance in the world we would get another companion.
I sighed. Closing my eyes, I decided to see how much my Aura Sight had improved.
The world disappeared for a millisecond, then reappeared in a blue wave. My skills had been refined from my first day and I could now read power levels, emotions, and find out what species something was, with my eyes closed.
I scanned the facility, focusing with all my power near the outskirts, and barely trying within the clearing. I found Dragonite, Alakazam, and Lucario finishing the Special Ability stage of the evaluation. Bulbasaur and Zorua were off to the side, observing in awe at Dragonite's power.
Suddenly, another aura entered my vision, and it was extremely powerful. Narrowing my vision, I focused and saw the outline of a pokemon.
Concentrating, I saw a small figure that looked like a ballerina. It had long, flowing hair that was green with blue spots. It had a white body and seemed to be wearing a black dress. I was witnessing a legendary appearance.
Meloetta.
