Connor's POV
DREAM BEGIN
I was in some sort of meadow; it was grassy, open and most of all breath taking. Pokemon were everywhere, flying, crawling, grazing but what caught my eye was a group of Altaria and Swablu crowding something.
Honestly I was not disturbed by this one bit since I have had more hazy dreams than this but this one seemed so clear and concrete that I felt like was really here. I stepped forward and phased through the group of Pokemon and saw a basket containing a small baby.
The little child was looking around waving at the surrounding Pokemon and I noticed a piece of paper on her blanket. I was about to pick it up until I heard a voice from behind me say "Areceus look at this!"
I turned and saw a pretty woman who had long strawberry blonde hair and green eyes wearing a white blouse with a green skirt holding a small purse. She sprinted towards the basket as the Pokemon cleared and stayed a few feet away.
She was followed by a good looking guy with short chocolate brown hair with a pair of matching eyes. He wore a long sleeve hunter green button shirt with grey pants.
"Wait up!" he called,
The two looked like a couple since they were standing next to each other with contact and no awkward sense whatsoever. She picked up the baby and looked at it. The baby laughed and swung her arms around as the Altarias and Swablus zoomed away.
The woman held the child and said "She's so cute right dear?"
The man bent down and said "What in Rayquaza's name is a baby doing here? Love look at this,"
He held out the note at her and me, thinking I was here and I had to keep my manners didn't peek over, just watched as their eyes widened as the man put the note inside of his pocket and the woman said "Honey, this child's parents made a great sacrifice to keep her safe."
They looked around to see all sorts of Pokemon crowding them she said "This baby must be special if the Pokemon react like this."
The man looked around and cautiously eyed the Pokemon as the woman continued "We should take her in honey! We always wanted a child right?"
The man took the baby from her and said "Yes we should, we should probably name her after the people who saved her."
They both nodded as they walked away with the baby in their arms and I suddenly fell down the ground.
DREAM END
I woke up startled and surprised as I crashed on the ground. I glanced upwards and saw Animus peering at me with a mystified look on his face. I rubbed my head and muttered "Five branches high and still breathing, nice."
I took my shades from the pocket inside my vest and slipped them on. I checked the time on my Pokedex and it read 3:45am.
Animus dropped down and said "Well I guess no more sleep for us. Where's my brother? He is running a little late isn't he?"
I nodded still on the ground and said "Quite, well he was the one to never appear on time. I'll give him till noon. Since we're up you want to have fun and wake up the others?"
He shook his head and said "Nah, let them sleep. We could start training now. No one would complain, maybe Delfi but she'll still go for it."
I nodded and threw my four Pokeballs in the air. My five Pokemon stood before me, Delfi and Trevor yawned, Jake and Animus acknowledged each other while Tony stepped a few steps away, looked into the moon lit sky and howled.
Delfi growled and said "Shut up dog boy!"
Tony snarled at her and said "You're just jealous since I look cool."
She turned away and said "As is if! I wouldn't stoop to your stupid mutt level."
Tony got ready to pounce but Jake pressed on his head while Trevor blocked Delfi's way. I shook my head and sighed, these two really are like fire and ice but I know they mean well. I clapped and said "We will not start arguing this morning okay? Training in an hour alright? Feel free to stroll for now as I get ready."
Each of them nodded and walked away.
Animus' POV (1st ever!)
POKESEPPECH TRANSLATOR: ON
I watched along with everyone else as Connor started to do his 'Warm Up'. He climbed the tree he fell from and hung upside down using his legs on the lowest branch and started doing 180 degree sit ups.
All of us sighed as Connor started doing his routine. I swear that my partner would take it too far sometimes and I have to remind him. He isn't a Pokemon, he has limits as a human. Sure he's different form most humans with the mark, physical training and what not but he is still human.
I decided to just leave him alone so I tagged along with the others who were still together and decided to take a stroll. The sky was still dark but as Pokemon we could perfectly see in the dark. It was quiet and tranquil yet an eerie feeling settled in my gut and I knew Connor felt it too. It was cold, not just normal cold, frost bite cold. Even wit our fur we still felt the shivering cold air on our skin.
Delfi, being the ice type she was, shrugged off the cold and gleefully said "Don't you guys just love this cold air?"
Trevor shivered and said "Don't think so ice queen, I'm freezing my scales off."
Jake gave a small nod while I said "I have to agree with Trevor and Jake, don't you feel that it's unusually cold? I mean, we can even see our breath."
She swished one of her tassels and giggled as she said "Look at you the great Golden Lucario Animus afraid of a little cold. It probably nothing you know, I can't believe you guys are affected by this cold."
Delfi often was a teaser, I didn't mind like everyone else but there is one person or Pokemon who does. Tony, who was being silent as Delfi was being her usual self, growled and said "You find this funny huh? I'm freezing my tail off so maybe if I shoot several Fire Blasts at you maybe it'll cool down."
Delfi snarled at him and said "Actually I do find it funny; I find it funny like a fire type like you is being cold. Maybe you're not so tough after all huh poochykeins?"
Tony's claws dug into the dirt ground as he barked "What did you call me Tassels!? Lets see how cool you're feeling after I give you a few burns."
She barked back "Oh yeah!? How about a couple of frostbites then mutt?"
The two readied for attack and Trevor dreamily said "And I was really starting to enjoy the peace."
Jake nodded in agreement as I pushed both Delfi and Tony in the face and said "Enough you two! You are acting like younglings! I know what you have been through but please grow up; even the young ones are acting more mature than you."
Tony rubbed his snout and said "Fine, I'll shut up for now."
Delfi did the same and said "Fine, sorry."
I nodded and Trevor said "Now that's over, so Animus, I heard Arthus is on his way. Is he going the conventional way or is he doing what he usually does."
I gave all of them a bored look and said "He was supposed to be here yesterday, what do you think?"
All of them chuckled and nodded in agreement with my statement about my brother. He was so different than me, always having fun, always socializing while I was always alone and quiet. Instead of taking the transporter, he decides to go from home to here on foot.
Trevor laughed and said "Hey Animus, so if Arthus is coming again doesn't that mean we get the double battle again?"
I nodded and said "Sure, sooner or later Arthus would be itching for a battle especially from you of all Pokemon Tony."
He chuckled knowing he landed a hit on Arthus while I evaded all his hits. Delfi walked past Tony and said "Don't get a big head mutt, it was just one hit."
His left eye twitched and he said "I didn't see you hit him or Animus!"
She hid her anger and just didn't reply. Tony chuckled knowing he struck a nerve and was about to retort but then we were all surprised when she just turned her head and didn't reply. I chuckled under my breath but shiver once again as I felt a wave of powerful cold emit form the forest. I had no idea what it was but it was powerful I could tell.
Trevor sniffed the air and said "Where is Arthus really? He is not usually this late."
Delfi shrugged and said "Maybe he got lost?"
"Maybe he died?" stated Trevor,
I face palmed and said "Arthus was never this late but no he would not get lost and no do you think someone with almost the same skill as me would get himself killed?"
Tony shook his head and said "He probably got occupied with battling anyone he came across, you know how he is."
I nodded and gazed into the distance and saw the two children's tents. They were still and silent probably with the two still sleeping but what caught my eye was the figures moving about.
Trevor narrowed his eyes and said "Hey what's going on? I see sparks."
Jake had his arms crossed and said "The young ones must be training. The hardworking spirit is what they have for sure."
We all looked at him surprised that he even spoke but then the sparks from the distance got even brighter so we decided to run over there. Running was easy for most of us but when it came to Trevor and Jake, well let's just say that a Magnitude 10 had nothing on them.
As soon as we got there, the little yellow one, Jordan was breathing heavily as he had his goggles on and the red one, Luke was also breathing heavily as he was in fighting position. The two looked like they were in a middle of a battle since the terrain was all damaged and destroyed.
Jordan clenched his fists and flipped into the air trying to form a sphere of electricity on his tail as Luke tried to form a sphere of black energy in his hands. The two struggled and threw their attacks but the attack just got out of control and skidded away from each other and ended up destroying more of the terrain.
All of us raised a brow as they went at it again and this time, the little yellow one got it right and landed a direct hit on the Riolu who skidded a few feet back after taking the attack. Trevor huffed and said "Looks like these two are trying to learn Shadow Ball and Electro Ball."
Tony nodded and said "They are but it looks like they're hurting themselves."
True to word, the two landed their attacks on each other and fell to the ground in exhaustion. Jordan was breathing heavily as did Luke and we decided to step in. As we approached, the two sat up to meet us. Luke gave a small nod while Jordan gave a small wave.
Delfi eyed them and said "What are you two doing so early in the morning?"
"Training," answered the energetic electric type, "Never had enough of it and we decided to learn a new move like Shadow Ball for Luke and Electro Ball for me since I saw the attack power of it was massive."
Jake nodded as Trevor nudged him and said "My friend here would be glad to teach you Electro Ball while Tony could teach Luke Shadow Ball isn't that right you two?"
I laughed in the inside knowing that the two couldn't resist to teach some kids no matter how tough they appear to be. Tony nodded with a grin while Jake gave a solemn nod. The two younger Pokemon cheered and said "Alright! When will we start?"
I was about to reply when I heard Connor's familiar wolf whistle meaning he was done with his work out and in record time no less, just two hours, that's how long it took. I looked at the two younglings and said "Just about now."
-TIME SKIP-
Dan's POV
I held the Pokemon egg I had received in my hands as I was sitting on the ground shining it. I swear this thing started moving a few days ago, it had been around four days since we were last in Vermillion City. After Liz's contest, we had all gone our separate ways, Parker, Ness and Vanessa decided to take a detour to some town for a while, Artemis said she forgot something back at Cerulean so she went back there and for some reason, Quincy who was going to Lavender Town like us still wanted to separate.
Anyway all was pretty chill, I got my third badge and Liz had her first ribbon. I had no idea Connor was such a coordinator; maybe there was more to him than meets well, the eyes. Jordan was looking way happier than before since he always exclaims how better he looks now with his matching neckerchief and goggles, he never takes it off no matter what. Battles, training, sleep even during meals, he only keeps his goggles above his head like Connor does with his shades and he avoids dirtying his neckerchief.
Luke on the other hand seemed pretty pleased for a Riolu that barley smile, laughs, giggles or even talks. He has this small smirk whenever he holds the gray and white neckerchief around his neck and it seems like they're pretty into it.
Liz was also doing great, she's ecstatic about her winning a ribbon and she is even happier with Connor and my gift. I'm glad she liked my gift and honestly it makes her look more sophisticated than before, she looks better, more professional and more confident.
Connor was pretty much the same as usually but he still stays up at night and reuses to sleep inside a tent whether it was raining or not. He slept on a tree like any other common Pokemon as he played any tune he could think of.
I just finished wiping the egg as it gleamed under the sun. I wondered what this little guy could be, baby Pokemon weren't always easy to handle but I heard it was worth it. I hope it was anything that I didn't have yet but even if it was I would train it fully.
My current team, Jordan, Luke, Hannah, Tory, Matt and Emil had just finished training and Ray wasn't here since Uncle Gary wanted to study his color and Ray willingly complied after trying to shoot me with several Poison Stings.
Connor was training with his Pokemon but he seemed to be missing one. He told us for the past few days the sixth one named Arthus would be arriving but it's been a few days past isn't it? I was curious what it would be really but I shrugged off the thought and looked at Liz who was sipping from her canteen. It was still pretty early and pretty much now I had nothing to do.
I put the egg in my backpack and got up as I walked over to Liz and said "Hey Liz, I'm kind of bored since we're done with training. How about you?"
She closed the canteen and placed it in her bag and said "Yeah pretty much, how about we go check around the forest there? Catch a Pokemon or two and what not."
I nodded and said "Connor will probably prohibit us if we tell him so come on he wont even notice we're gone."
She nodded and returned her Pokemon quietly as did I except Jordan and Luke who were by my side. We crept away as Connor continued to train with his Pokemon and slowly we entered the deep grove.
We looked around our surroundings and I got the familiar feel I usually had during trips inside a forest. Safe to say that it wasn't really my best experience counting the first time when I was six, I got chased by a rampaging Nidoking and the night before my journey, I was attacked again by the same Nidoking in the forest near Pallet Town and finally during Viridian Forest, I narrowly escaped Team Gamma along with the Legendary Kyurem.
Once again I thought about that legendary Pokemon. It emitted such radiant power but it couldn't escape as if it was weakened a lot by some other Pokemon and whatever Pokemon could handle a legendary must be a really well trainer Pokemon or another legendary. I helped him escape but I don't know where the guy was and I swear I was kind of worried if he was caught by Team Gamma again, all that trouble and if he was caught so help me I will go in there and let him free again.
Over the past two months and a half I had come across some really interesting and dangerous people. Some of those interesting people involved Liz, Connor, Quincy and all my friends and the dangerous ones included the members of Team Gamma like Mantle, Matirx and Neon.
That group must have a sick leader since they laid waste to a town and practically slaughtered everyone there. Just the thought of it made me cringe and shiver in fear. What kind of animal would do such a thing and why? I knew they were looking for someone called the Dragon Whisperer but why would they kill off an entire town of people?
I was snapped back into reality when I actually ran into a tree and landed on the ground. Liz evaded my fall and said "Watch where you're going Grapehead! You never know when accidents might happen so be vigilant."
I rolled my eyes as I got up and I dusted my jacket and said "Whatever, don't you think it's a bit cold? I mean, the sun is high yet it's so cold that I can see my breath. Kanto isn't exactly known for its cold weathers."
She hugged her shoulders and shivered and I even saw her breath as she said "Yeah it is pretty cold but Connor doesn't even seem bothered. How about you two? Feeling okay?"
Jordan shivered and nodded but Luke slapped the back of his head and said "Master Dan, as I speak for both of us I say that it is really cold."
I nodded and noticed that frost was trailing over Jordan's goggles and our Pokeballs, heck even the trees started freezing with the familiar cold and the ground started to sparkle with a thin sheet of ice.
Liz and I met eyes and nervously glanced around the environment. What could be making everything freeze up? It could be a pretty powerful wild Pokemon but I felt this kind of cold before, my head shot up to the sky and said "Liz, I think I know what's doing this, I think that its-"
Suddenly a large, humanoid figure darted from one tree to another and landed right in front of us. It had some features of a fox, long snout, canine teeth and eyes but it stood like a human and its claws were razor sharp. It had a long azure mane of hair flowing down its back and it gave a mighty roar as it readied its claws at us.
"Zoroark," I muttered,
Liz pulled out her Pokedex and it spoke "Zoroark, the Illusion Fox Pokemon. Bonds between Zoroark are very strong. It protects the safety of its pack by tricking its opponents."
The Pokemon howled again and readied to attack us but I stepped up and said "We don't want to battle! We're just leaving!"
The Pokemon growled and snarled "Rargh! Zragrrgh! (Too late for that plum boy, its battle time!)"
Jordan stood defensively in front of me along with Luke and tried to calm him down but the Zoroark just took a swipe at them and they leapt backwards to evade. Liz looked at the towering Pokemon and said "This one looks so cool but I think you just made it angry, do something!"
My eye twitched and I yelled back "I don't see you trying anything princess, if it's a battle he wants, it's a battle he'll get."
Liz nodded and said "Squirtle! Electrike! Shine Bright!"
Liz's top two battlers appeared on the frosty ground. The four Pokemon stood ready to battle the large dark type; the Zoroark readied its claws and bared his fangs as he said "Zoragrh! Rargh! (Hope you runts can put up a good fight!)"
He leapt with his razor sharp claws gleaming for a Night Slash attack while Jordan pulled his goggles down and leapt forward to counter with a Brick Break attack. Their attacks collided but Zoroark overpowered Jordan and knocked him away and he quickly evaded a Flame Charge that Liz commanded Electrike to do by flipping in the air.
He landed on the ground and did a very, very familiar gesture at us that said "Come on"
I raised a brow and said "Luke go and use Aura Sphere!"
Luke threw a powerful sphere of energy at the Zoroark who smirked and just simply slashed his claw and cut the sphere in half, causing it to explode and make a smoke cloud. Liz and I cheered but then the Zoroark surged forward from the smoke and delivered a powerful kick to the jaw sending Luke upwards and crashing back in front of me.
My jaw dropped, this one was so strong! That kick was like Animus' signature jaw kick and the only thing that was missing was the Spiral Slam combo. Luke got back up and wiped his mouth. Liz looked at the Zoroark who snarled back and said "Squirtle go use Water Pulse!"
Squirtle threw the sphere of water towards Zoroark but the dark type just grinned maliciously and fired a blue beam of energy that froze the sphere of water and he flipped as he kicked the frozen sphere of ice back at Squirtle who was hit directly with the attack causing him to fall backwards with a thud.
All four of our damaged Pokemon got back up and my denim wearing friend scowled and said "It's so strong; none of our attacks are doing anything to him. What can we do now? It counters everything like a genius, Water Pulse was sent back after a Ice Beam and he evades everything we throw at him."
The Zoroark gave a loud chuckle as I said "Yeah, he's a smart one right there. He's probably the one freezing everything with his ice attacks, this one is out of control. We're not good enough but we have to stop him, I'll call for help. Emil Its Go Time!"
My fighting spirited flying type appeared into the sky and eyed the Zoroark with blazing eyes. I called for him and said "Emil I'm sorry you can't battle yet, we need you to call Connor for help. We can't handle this one so please go get Connor."
Emil nodded and squawked "Viary! (Got it!)"
Emil zoomed away as the Zoroark growled impatiently as he readied his claws and got ready to spring forward. I felt helpless right now but I was the trainer, I had to do something. I looked at Liz solemnly and said "We need to stay alive until Connor gets here, we need a plan."
She nodded and said "What do you have in mind then?"
I eyed the Zoroark who was being stalled by changing growls and calls from our four Pokemon. My eyes narrowed at her and said "Trying to hammer him like a while ago won't work, for some reason he's like Animus so hammering him just won't do, we need to set him up and hit him hard all at once."
She gave a small smirk and said "You're smarter than you look Dan, let's do it."
I pointed at the Zoroark and said "Jordan! Luke! Thunderbolt and Aura Sphere!"
The two Pokemon fired the projectile attacks towards the Zoroark who evaded the attack by dodging swiftly but Liz too the opportunity and said "Missile formation!"
Electrike nodded at his partner and zoomed towards the startled Zoroark with his body surrounded in a coat of flames as he charged in with a Superpower attack. Squirtle flew forward with a Rapid Jet combo but Zoroark flipped, bended, leaned and leapt to evade all the attacks but he didn't notice he was being cornered into a thick patch of trees.
His back hit against the trees and he growled in annoyance. Liz and I grinned and said "Now! Volt Tackle! Focus Punch! Rapid Spin! Super Charge!"
Jordan charged towards Zoroark with his body coated in a thick coat of electricity while Luke leapt and readied to smash his fist on the dark type, Squirtle closed in and readied to smash himself on the fox Pokemon while Electrike grinned evily as he charged with the Superpower Flame Charge combo.
Liz and I held our breaths as they closed in but the Zoroark raised his claws into the air as they started to glow a shade of purple and black. Instantly I recognized the attack and said "Hit the deck!"
I tackled Liz to the ground as the dark type smirked as he brought his hands down as a large explosion of dark type energy ripped through the forest sending our Pokemon in all directions. The terrain was damaged and trees were snapped, the ice shards flew at us and landed on us as we were pricked by them but the Zoroark put his arms back in normal position and howled.
Liz and I scrambled back up and we frantically said "No! Jordan! Luke! Squirtle! Electrike!"
The Pokemon growled in annoyance as Jordan got back up and charged at him with his right fist glowing white with a Brick Break. I called for Jordan to stop but he was too stubborn and charged to meet the dark type's Night Slash but then as he was about to get hit a voice said "Dragonite Dragon Rush! Pippy Drill Peck!"
The Zoroark's eyes turned and saw tw0 large Pokemon closing in on him but he just smirked and kicked Jordan away and his claws were coated in a large shroud of dark energy that made each of his arms look like one massive claw. He met the two Pokemon with the attack and they were at a standstill, the two Pokemon overpowered him and sent him back but he flipped and recovered with barley any damage. The two Pokemon growled at the Zoroark who grinned happily.
I looked at the source of the commands and saw a man with an open silver jacket, a red undershirt like mine, grey pants and grey hiking shoes. His gloved hands were clenched as he said "Pippy use Hydro Pump! Dragonite use Dragon Pulse!"
The two Pokemon fired their powerful ranged attacks at the Zoroark and the dark type fired a dark blast of energy, probably Dark Pulse, to meet it and the dark type attack proved too much and knocked the two Pokemon back.
Liz looked at the man and said "You! You're Silver Ingold form Cerulean!"
He nodded and said "Yeah, looks like I got here just in time. This Zoroark is really tough. It's shiny as well so this just complicates things. Pippy cover Dragonite with some Water Pulses and Dragonite, charge in with a Hammer Arm while you kids grab your Pokemon!"
Pippy and the Dragonite complied as we rounded up our Pokemon. Zoroark was clearly uninterested in our defeated ones and paid no attention to us gathering them so he just evaded all the attacks and landed a hit on Dragonite before he could with a Sucker Punch, knocking him backward as he disappeared with a startling Extreme Speed and appears before the Empoleon, knocking him upwards with a strong kick to the jaw and he leapt up after him and crashed him down with a spinning Seismic Toss.
"That was Animus' Spiral Slam combo!" said Liz,
The Zoroark howled in victory as the two got up again and readied themselves to attack but then a golden blur appeared and sent the Zoroark crashing against a wall of trees. The gold blur re appeared beside a shaded figure who had a large bird flapping its wings beside him.
"Connor!" I and Liz called,
He pulled his shades down a bit and said "Arthus that's enough!"
Liz's POV
"Arthus!?" I stated, "This is Arthus! This thing tried to kill us!"
Animus growled at the Zoroark who was just being held up by his own elbows but then they stopped growling and Animus helped the Zoroark up and they gave each other a grin and an accommodating nod.
Connor had his arms crossed and said "Hey, you're Silver right? Don't worry guys, he doesn't mean harm, Arthus is just a bit battle excited, this is why he was probably late isn't it Arthus?"
Silver nodded as the Zoroark laughed nervously, Jordan got up along with Luke while Liz returned her Pokemon. Silver eyed the area and said "Connor I presume? Glad to meet you kid, what are you three doing here?"
He returned his Empoleon and Dragonite as Connor gleefully said "Travelling to Lavender Town good sir, we are about to have lunch actually, care to join us? It's awfully cold and a warm meal would do you some good."
All of our stomachs grumbled at the same time causing everyone but Silver to laugh. Connor eyed the area again and said "Arthus I think you over did it, you managed to freeze the entire area causing a large freezing and you broke some trees."
The Zoroark made some arguing sounds at Connor who raised one of his brows and said "I don't care if you said you didn't do it, I felt something strong here and I guess it was you. I've known you long enough to know you like getting away Arthus so just be like your brother Animus for now okay?"
He huffed as he crossed his arms while Animus slapped the back of his head. The two Pokemon Connor owned, the Golden Lucario and the Azure Zoroark, are two of the toughest Pokemon I've ever seen. It was like they were two nuclear bombs waiting to explode as I watched them stare down.
"Brother!?" Dan stated while Jordan squeaked on his shoulder with his goggles propped up,
Animus and Arthus slung an arm over each other and Connor said "Yep, this is my sixth Pokemon and one of my elite 6. Say hello to the Azure Flash, Arthus the Zoroark. Brother of Animus the Golden Flash."
Dan, the poor boy, had his jaw down while Silver gave a small cough and Connor said "Lunch is ready by the way, come on kiddo, jeans. Mister Ingold if you would?"
We all nodded as we followed him back to the campsite.
-LINE BREAK-
Connor had all of his Pokemon out while Dan and I had ours out as well. Silver had just sat down on one of the stumps while Connor said "Maybe your Pokemon would like a meal as well? Consider it an apology for my Zoroark's misbehavior."
He nodded and said "Very well, come out!"
Out of his Pokeballs appeared a Pikachu, a Braviary, a Petlil, a Dragonite, a Empoleon and an Unfezant. The Pokemon went to meet up with the others while we sat down and started to eat.
Connor's cooking was great, not as good as mine from Dan and his prescription but good. Silver silently ate as Dan gawked at the Zoroark laughing along with the other Pokemon.
It was hard to believe that it was now just having fun with the Pokemon. Squirtle seemed okay with it while Electrike eyed it suspiciously while Jordan and Luke were pretty happy with it since he was Animus' 'Brother'.
The table was awfully silent so I started and said "So Connor, who is Arthus really?"
Connor put his fork down and said "About that, Arthus is one of the first three Pokemon I have ever had. First was Animus, second was Arthus and third was Trevor. I found Arthus one day in Nuvema Town during a trip with my mother and he just decided to join us after we beat him, the professor there said that he was quite the trouble maker, beating trainers, scaring off wild Pokemon but she seemed surprised that I had won."
Dan grinned and said "I thought Trevor was your 2nd strongest?"
Connor chuckled and said "Well I don't like saying Arthus was weaker than Animus or Animus was weaker than Arthus so they agreed to both be number one. They are almost in par with strength, speed, experience and courage."
Dan and I peeked atthe Zoroark who was down on the ground after Animus had kicked him. Everyone of the Pokemon was laughing at the scene including Animus and Arthus. I looked at Connor as Silver said "Quite wild isn't he?"
Connor shrugged and said "That was always his nature, but him an Animus had grown together and are considered as brothers."
All of us nodded as Connor removed his shades and his said "Mister Ingold was it? Right, what was a gentleman like you doing in a grove like this?"
He shrugged and said "Looking for some Pokemon, you know, just having fun."
Connor's eyes turned crimson red as his voice turned cold and said "Really now Mister Ingold, it would be very unkind of you to lie, please, do tell what you were really doing?"
Silver's eyes turned cold and lifeless as he froze up and said in a blank voice "I am not Silver Ingold, my real name is Vencer Yowane, I am a secret agent from the WPF hoping to put an end to Team Gamma, there was a report of two Team Gamma members in this area so I decided to check it out."
Connor raised a brow and said "Quite, what would you know good sir?"
He continued in the same voice "All I know it that two high ranking members are here, form our Intel, there are six lieutenants, three generals and one leader. The Pokemon are unknown but they are reported to be very powerful."
Dan and I starred at Connor weirdly as he looked at us and said "Dear me I did it again didn't I? I'm sorry, Mister Yowane, you're free to go."
Silver or Vencer blinked as he regained his bearings and angrily said "What. Did. You. Do. To. Me?"
Connor bowed apologetically and said "I am so sorry Mister Yowane, I slipped on my ability. Now that we know we could help you."
He avoided our gaze and angrily said "That's quite an ability you have there kid, ever think about joining the force?"
Connor shook his head and said "Sorry sir, I'm fifteen."
Vencer sighed and said "Alright, since you know so much I better fall in full. My name is Vencer Yowane, a top agent of the WPF, I joined the force to find my father. When I was a child, my father, who was a two time league champion, disappeared without a trace when he went for a new job when my mother had cancer. He absently gave enough to sustain me and my mother for a while and even giving me some extra provisions. She died ten years after but my father was never found. The only trace I had was Team Gamma's symbol and that's why I'm searching high and low for them."
Dan sighed and said "Another Team Gamma incident? I swear these guys are everywhere."
Vencer nodded and said "I use the name Silver Ingold for cover, call me Silver in public but you three can call me Vencer alone okay?"
We all nodded and I said "So what did your reporter say about the ones here?"
He thought for a minute and was interrupted when Dan picked around in Vencer's bag like Jordan would and said "Hey what's this?
Vencer snatched it away and said "It's a tazer kid. Stay away from it."
He put it down and was about to reply but was interrupted yet again when Dan said "What's this one?"
Vencer scowled at Dan and said "That's a tracker kid. We re-engineered it from a Team Gamma one, now just let me answer."
Dan shrugged and dug inside the bag once again, Connor chuckled while I gave a small giggle when Vencer's face started turning red after each and every one of Dan's questions.
Eventually, Vencer snapped and snatched the bag from Dan and said "Sit down kid! Arceus you'll give me an ulcer."
Dan gloomily sat down while Vender said "Now as I was saying, our reports say that they were tracking something here. I don't know what but it gave of a powerful energy signature, almost legendary levels."
He pressed his watch and said "This tracker can show any legendary level Pokemon inside or outside a Pokeball. You see there are three levels. Fairy Level which includes the minor deities such as Mew, Celebi and Victini while the next class, Guardian Level includes the powerful deities such as the Moon Duo, Eon Duo, Regi Trio and others while the final level is the Dominus Level which involves major deities such as the Dimension trio, Weather trio, Kami trio and the Tao trio."
It beeped twice and he scowled and said "Stupid thing must be broken, it says that there are two Guardian class Legendary's here in a two mile radius. Funny, it's pointing towards those Pokemon."
He pointed at ours and Connor suddenly said "That's impossible; none are as strong as a legendary."
Silver shrugged but then his watch started beeping faster and he said "A spike! A large spike has begun in the forest! It says there are two Guardian Class Pokemon and one very powerful Dominus Level Pokemon in there."
We all face the forest and saw smoke coming from there. Vencer then said "Five minutes to pack up, let's go!"
We broke down camp and retrieved our Pokemon in less than five minutes. We saw Vencer gritting his teeth at the fire and said "The fire will burn everything! We need help. Braviary!"
Out of his Pokeball appeared a much older and more powerful Braviary than Emil. The Pokemon screeched as Vencer said "Find Offcer Jenny nearby, call the Squirtle Squad to kill the fire! I'm counting on you! Go!"
The Pokemon flew away as Connor had Animus and Arthus by his side and said "Everyone ready? Stay together and keep safe, we have to evacuate the Pokemon there and try and help with the fire."
Vencer nodded and said "Leave a water type out to help okay? Stay away from falling branches and be vigilant for the cause of the fire. Stay together and do not get lost."
With that, we held out breaths as we ran into the blazing inferno of a forest.
Connor's POV
Safe to say, the forest was looking very bad. We led the wild Pokemon away from the fire and managed to stop several spots but the fire kept coming. I pointed to another patch of flames and said "Delfi Ice Beam!"
My ice type killed some of the fire with her powerful beam of ice, Tony, Animus and Arthus was out and about leading the Pokemon out since Tony would be unaffected by the fires since his ability was Flash Fire and Animus and Arthus have seen worse. These flames, in close observation, were from a Pokemon, they were usually what you saw form a Flamethrower or Fire Blast attack. Whatever it was, we had to find the source.
I saw Dan and his three Pokemon, Luke, Jordan and Matt putting out some flames while Liz was helping out with Squirtle. Vencer was stopping a massive blaze with his Empoleon Pippy, lovely name by the way, with some several Hydro Pumps and Surf attacks.
I didn't want to be here really, I felt the powerful force too knowing to was too large and malevolent to be Animus or Arthus. Being here would also endanger the two kids and if anything happened to them I would never forgive myself but these two are a lot like I was, always risking their lives to help in even the smallest ways, how could I say no?
Vencer wiped some sweat off his forehead and said "The fire just keeps coming! We can't stop this alone we need the Squirtle Squad!"
Dan fanned his head as it caught a bit on fire and said "They should be here soon but we should hold up as much as we can!"
A burning branch fell but Liz managed to get out of the way and said "Why wont this fire stop! It's like its infinite!"
I scowled and said "This fire is form a Pokemon! We need to find the Pokemon and subdue it before we can do anything else to kill the fire otherwise it will be meaningless."
Vencer nodded and said "It's probably one of that Guardian Level Pokemon or the Dominus Level Pokemon on my radar. This part is already too much to handle! Follow me!"
He ran as the three of us ran after him after returning our Pokemon. We ran through the blazing forest with great speed yet it kept getting hotter and hotter and it felt like an infinite hell zone.
Vencer checked his beeping watch and said "There's a power spike coming from around here. Let turn right!"
We turned right and after several minutes of running, we came into a area in the forest that wasn't on fire but was frozen solid instead. Vencer, Dan and Liz's jaw dropped while I said "Wow that was a surprise."
The area was surrounded in a thick case of ice, the trees, rocks, grass and even the dirt was in a sheet of zero degree and below ice. We could see our breath again like this morning and Dan said "What is going on!?"
We heard a crash come from a thick patch of trees and Vencer tapped his watch and said "No time for mysteries kids, come on let's go!"
As we ran to the source of the sound, we saw the ice was melting and at a distance we saw two figures, two men who were in a similar jumpsuit. One man had a grey full body robot suit that had some extra mechanical attachments to his face which covered it in a reflective sheet of glass, he had a large Arcanine shooting fire beside him while the taller guy was in a similar silver robot body suit with each of his arms being encased in a small yet mysterious bracelet that had a black diamond design on it, his face was covered in a sheet of glass like his partner and he had a large, massive and intimidating Slaking standing beside him shooting torrents of fire from his mouth. Both had the Team Gamma logo on their chests and the grey suited guy said "Another one Arcanine! Fire Blast!"
The Arcanine shot a large blast of flames that burned through a part of the forest and the fire started spreading. The grey suited man laughed and said "Radon how close are we? This is fun and all but I want a challenge."
The man in a silver suit, named Radon, held a device and said "Close, but we seem to be getting three more signals. Two are Guardian Level while another yet similar Dominus Level is nearby."
The grey suited man laughed and said "Finally! We found Subject K and the Emperor will he oh so pleased."
The more serious man shot his head in our direction as he made a step and said "Slaking Hyper Beam!"
The grey suited man looked at us too and said "Arcanine Fire Blast!"
The two attacks closed in on us as I said "Arthus! Animus! Protect!"
Out of nowhere, my two friends appeared and covered us with a green shield of energy as the attacks were rendered useless. The two men looked at us and the grey one said "Look Radon, some brats! You think I could have some fun?"
Dan glared at them with Jordan on his shoulder and Luke by his side when he said "Watch it! Who are you two anyway and what do you know about Team Gamma!"
The grey suited man pressed a button on his ear and the glass cover slid up and the metal retracted back to his neck like a hood revealing his grey eyes and sandy grey hair. He grinned evilly at us and said "I am Argon, a member of Team Gamma's Lieutenants Six and this is Radon, another member of the Lieutenants Six. Since you wont live long enough, we'll just say that our superiors, General Nexus and Andromeda had hunted down Subject K and managed to injure him to land around this area, we were sent to retrieve him for our master. I decided that forcing the beast out with some fire would do the job."
Dan's face turned sour and said "Subject K!? You! You're Argon!"
He bowed and said "My reputation precedes me as usual doesn't it Radon? Glad to meet you brats!"
The fire was now crazy in our area as Arthus and Animus clenched their paws in anger with Argon's attitude. Destroying homes without a single sign of regret? What was this man really? He's crazy.
Vencer growled and said "Finally, in the name of the WPF you're under arrest!"
Argon just laughed and said "Right, that seems fun." He threw a Pokeball and said "Tyrannitar Dark Pulse! Arcanine Flamethrower!"
The large Pokemon appeared and readied his attacks but I got there first and said "Animus! Arthus! Double Jump Kick!"
The two leapt and kicked the two Pokemon in the face sending them flying backwards with Animus and Arthus grinning like idiots. Argo grit his teeth and said "Meddling brats huh, alright, Radon go ahead and finish up. I'll take care of this one."
Radon ran in a different direction with his Slaking as I said "Go after him! We need to stop them from getting what he wants!"
Vencer plucked a Pokeball form his waist and said "No, I have to do this!"
I grinned at him and said "I would be more comfortable knowing there was a top agent with my friends as you went along to get Radon. Don't worry, Dan and Liz will be of help and for extra measure."
I threw one Pokeball each at Dan and Liz who caught the balls and I said "You'll need them, Animsu and Arthus are all I need."
They nodded as they ran after Radon. I faced Argon and said "You sir have an awfully evil aura."
The suited man grinned and said "I'll just say thanks, now let's battle kid! Tyrannitar use Earthquake! Arcanine Flare Blitz!"
The Tyrannitar made ground shake with a powerful tremor but Animus and Arthus leapt in the air to evade but they we being targeted by a charging, flame encased Arcanine.
"Arthus grab your brother and Animus kick!" I stated,
Arthus grabbed Animus' right arm in mid air and spun him around and threw him at the charging Arcanine and landed a powerful kick to the face sending it crashing on the large Tyrannitar. The two Pokemon got back up and growled as Animus and Arthus growled back.
Argon narrowed his eyes and said "Not bad, but how will you deal with this! Arcanine Flamethrower! Tyrannitar use Giga Impact!"
Arcanine shot a torrent of flames at Arthus who tried to leap out of the way and was hit directly while the Tyrannitar ran towards Animus who ran forward to meet it with his own Giga Impact. The two Pokemon collided but Animus was sent into the air and Arcanine made another accurate Flamethrower causing Animus to get some more damage.
Arthus helped Animus up as I said "Good move, sharp shooting Arcanine and lumbering Tyrannitar, good combo but you have yet to see what these brothers can do. Animus Aura Sphere! Arthus use Shadow Ball!"
The two Pokemon fired the ranged attacks at the two opponents as Argon said "Dragon Pulse! Fire Blast!"
The four attacks collided and leveled the area, Animus and Arthus entered the smoke as I said "That's it! Finish up you two! Close Combat!"
Argon growled as the smoke cleared and Tyrannitar and Arcanine were unable to battle with swirls in their eyes. Argon yelled and said "I can't believe it! Defeated by a kid!"
He returned them as I said "Do not underestimate me, there is a lot more I can do."
He smirked as he held a pitch black Pokeball in his hands and said "Sure kid, those ones weren't even that strong so here's a great surprise for you. This one was given to me by Emperor Eclipse himself, Darkrai induce the Darkness!"
He threw the Pokeball and the legendary dark type appeared and growled as Animus and Arhtus went into battle stance. How did this one get into the hands of such evil, in legends, Darkrai was one for justice. I shrugged off the thought as Argon laughed and said "Be ready for defeat!"
Animus and Arthus glanced at me and I said "This is about to get very interesting. Arthus! Animus! Lets Rocket!"
Dan's POV
I ran beside Liz as Vencer sprinted in front of us. I heard explosions and roars form behind us meaning Connor's battle could be going either way. I know Connor is good but Argon could be a threat, all Gamma lieutenants are especially Argon and Cobalt. Those two were involved in that massive massacre and he didn't seem affected by it one bit.
Liz breathed heavily as she ran beside me and said "You think Connor will be fine?"
I clutched the Pokeball Connor threw at me and said "I hope so, he's got Animus remember? Also he's got that really tough Zoroark Arthus."
Jordan pointed at the distance and said "Pi Pichu! (There it is!)"
We all looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw the large Slaking with his trainer beside him smashing through some burning trees with its bare hands. Radon held the machine up and said "A few feet away huh? Just past these trees Slaking."
I was about to act when Vencer said "Dragonite use Dragon Rush!"
The dragon type burst out of the confines of its ball and charged towards the Slaking with the powerful dragon type attack but Radon noticed it and said "Slaking think fast and catch the dragon!"
Slaking turned and caught the Pokemon in its powerful grip and drove it to the ground by the head then threw it towards us and the Pokemon skidded on the ground as it got up again. Vencer growled and said "Stay away from that patch of trees! You're under arrest!"
Radon still had the reflective glass mask up and said "You look familiar. Where have I seen you before?"
Vencer scowled and said "Doesn't matter! We'll beat you and take you in! Ready kids?"
We nodded and held the ball Connor handed us and said "Ready!"
"Pokeball Go!" shouted the both of us,
Out of my Pokeball appeared a large scaly Pokemon that shook the ground as it landed on the watery ground. Out of Liz's was a large yellow Pokemon that had two long tails and an intimidating look. These two Pokemon were Trevor the Haxorus and Jake the Electivire.
Radon made a low grumble and said "This just got complicated, we need to find Subject K but dealing with you might make things easier. Feraligatr! Venasaur!"
The two fully evolved starters emerged from their balls and glared at our Pokemon. The two newly introduced Pokemon looked uneasy as it looked at the Dragonite whose expression seemed to soften. Vencer sniffed a bit and said "Th-This is a t-trick! Lets battle!"
"Very well," replied Radon. "Venasaur use Energy Ball! Feraligatr charge in with Slaking for a Take Down!"
The Pokemon started their sequence while our group said "Jake use Thunderbolt! Trevor use Dragon Rush! Dragonite use Dragon Rush!"
Jake countered the grass type attack with his own Thunderbolt causing no damage whatsoever. The Slaking tackled the Dragonite and it ended up in a standoff. On the other hand, Trevor and the Feraligatr tackled each other but Trevor proved too strong and he lifted the Feraligatr and tossed him towards the Slaking to give the Dragonite and advantage to deliver a well placed hit on the dragon type. Jake held his tails in a familiar gesture as he nodded at Liz and my denim wearing friend said "What was that..errrr…ummm. Electro Blade!"
Jake nodded and muttered something about Thunder Blade and charged towards the Venasaur with his attack ready but Radon was calm and said "Ready, steady, Venasaur Leaf Storm! Feraligatr use Ice Beam! Slaking ground with Focus Punch!"
Venasaur and Feraligatr fired their attacks and directly hit their opponents with some serious damage while Slaking rushed in with the opening and threw one powerful knock back punch at each of our Pokemon causing them to fly in different directions. Trevor landed on a broken boulder, Dragonite skidded on the ground while Jake smashed through some trees into an opening.
We glanced in the opening and saw a large Pokemon that was laying on the ground with a big bruise on its side. It had a mask of thick ice and it gave of a deathly cold aura. My eyes widened as I breathed "Kyurem…"
Radon gave a almost unnoticeable chuckle and said "I guess I found it. Seems pretty wounded as well. Close in on them."
The three massive Pokemon roared and closed in on us as Radon took slow steps forward and said "You may have some powerful Pokemon from your friend but you have no experience on how to handle them whatsoever. Give up, it's hopeless."
I grit my teeth in frustration, he was right. We may have Jake and Trevor, two of Connor's large powerhouses but we had no idea how to battle with them, use them or even combo with them while Vencer could do this alone. Radon was well coordinated and very powerful with his combos; so far he's the most dangerous lieutenant yet.
Vencer scowled and said "Fall back! Dan! Liz! Try anything to help him escape! If we're going down, we may as well go down fighting! I'll take it from here! Haxorus use Dragon Pulse to cover Electvire as he uses the Thunder Sword thing! Dragonite! Draco Meteor for some cover!"
The three Pokemon complied as they gave me and Liz some time to approach Kyurem with Jordan and Luke by my side. When we got to him, Liz froze up and said "Are you sure it's safe to go near that thing? It's huge!"
I nodded and said "Don't worry! He's tame! He needs some help, do you have any potions or heals whatsoever?"
She threw her hands frantically in the air and said "No! I don't! You act like you've met this thing before Grapehead!"
I gave her a sharp look and said "Look, I'll tell you later, now we need to help him. He needs to heal so he can get out of here. What can we do?"
We glanced at Vencer who was slowly being cornered by Radon while the Pokemon exchanged hits. Jordan's ears perked up and said "Pichu Pichu Pi! Chu Cha Pichu! (Dan! I and Luke can use this new move we learned!)"
I gave them an approving look and said "Give it your best shot guys! It's all we have!"
Luke and Jordan put both of their hands on the bruise and yelled "Pichu Pi! (Heal Pulse!)"
The bruise glowed a bright light and it started to fade away, eventually Kyruem was fully healed and he telepathically said "Stand back humans."
He stood up and got shrouded in a dark blue light and he burst with power as the surrounding fire in the area died and froze over. Kyurem was now colored with shades of black unlike last time where he was white.
He thankfully nodded at Luke and Jordan as he saw Vencer close to defeat. He was now leaning against a tree as he sat on the ground wounded, Jake, Trevor and Dragonite stood wearily as Radon spotted Kyurem and said "Forget them! Venasaur use Frenzy Plant! Feraligatr Hydro Cannon! Slaking Hyper Beam!"
The three Pokemon turned away from the nearly defeated trio and fired their super charged attacks at Kyurem who surrounded himself in a electric blue sphere and fired a massive bolt of energy that slashed through the powerful combination of attacks and hit all three knocking them unconscious in one hit.
Kyurem roared as he readied to take off but he first said "Find the Whisperer. Destiny awaits chosen of Sky."
With that, he flew into the air and took off like a rocket as Radon slammed his fist on a nearby tree and said "No!"
He closed in on us with his fist clenched but then he pressed a button on his ear and said "What? Darkrai defeated? Subject K is gone, retreat for now."
He grunted and said "You got lucky today."
Darkrai? The Darkrai? Defeated? Who was he talking to? He returned his Pokemon and threw another Pokeball which released a Flygon which he stood on and flew away. Vencer sighed and said "I thought I was a goner, nice save kids."
We laughed as we smelled smoke once more and there was no more legendary ice type keeping the fire away. Vencer returned his Pokemon and Trevor leaving Jake out as I said "Jake, think you can carry Vencer as we get out of here?"
Jake nodded and lifed Vencer on his shoulders and said "Thanks big guy."
We ran through the blazing forest as Jake was like a steamroller, plowing through all obstacles and debris. Jordan hung on my shoulder as Luke ran beside me, I carefully watched out for Liz just in case something happened but we managed to make it out to where we initially entered.
Vencer was put down by Jake and was put on a stretcher as he said "Thanks kids, see ya around."
He handed me Trevor's ball before he was carried away. Jake sighed as he was returned as well. I scanned the area and saw that the wild Pokemon were all athered up and there were multiple Blastoise, Wartortle and Squirtle putting out the fires. But there was no sign of Connor.
My heart stopped for a while as I said "Where's Connor!?"
Liz shook her head nervously as we looked at the blazing forest and three figures exiting slowly. Connor appeared out of the fire with Animus and Arthus flanking his sides with each of them having a happy grin. Connor's clothes were a bit singed and scorched like ours and the top point of his bangs was on fire while his face was ashy and dirty with ash and soot but other than that, he looked fine as he gave us his usually grin.
Liz and I along with my Pokemon ran to him and said "Connor!"
He swiped his shades of and winked at us as he said "Miss me?"
