Chapter 14: blast from the past
Two days had passed since Ash and the others had competed in the battle Château. Since then Ash and Red spent much of their time preparing their Pokémon for their battles with Grant.
"Charmander use Dragon claw".
"Pikachu use iron tail". Red's Charmander gathered up his Dragon energy as his claws began to glow Violet. Pikachu's tail turned solid metal before he ran at Charmander. Charmander waited until Pikachu was close then swung his right claws at him. Pikachu used his tail to block the claws then jumped swung his other claws but Pikachu used his iron tail to block them as well.
"alright looks like Pikachu and my Charmander have their new moves down".
"Lets see if Fletchling and Fletchinder have theirs down" Ash said. Pikachu and Charmander stepped to the side as their trainers sent out Fletchling and Fletchinder.
"Fletchling use steel wing".
"Fletchinder use steel wing" the two birds turned their wings steel and flew at each other. The two Pokémon tried to slash each other with their wings but kept parrying each other with their own wings.
"alright good job guys" Ash said. Fletchling and Fletchinder flew back down to their trainers.
"Hey Red, I've been thinking. Maybe we should tell the others the real reason we know how to fight".
"I don't know Ash it happened a long time ago. Do you really think they need to know".
"they're our friends, they deserve to know the truth".
"But we never even told mom".
"That's because he asked us not to he never said anything about our friends. It's not just that, the man who I saw at Lumoise city with the mega Lucario. I think it was him".
"You really think it was?".
"He looked liked him, acted like him, and had a lucario. Come on Red.
"Maybe you're right, and I suppose the others have a right to know". Pikachu and Red's charmander looked at their trainers with curious expressions. Ash noticed that their pokemon seemed confused.
"Don't worry guys, we'll explain it to you guys too" . They went back to the campsite that the rest of the group were resting at. Serena was sitting beside a tree with fennekin in her lap as she brushed her fur. Her furfrou was also sitting beside her as she brushed his fur as well. Near her Bonnie was doing the same with her skitty. Clemont was working on some kind of device with his Magnamite and Bunnelby beside him.
"Oh yes, I think it's ready! Magnamite give it a charge". Magnamite gave a happy expression as he used spark to charge up the machine. Moments later the lights on the machine lit green.
"It's working!" Clemont said. Moments later the lights turned red and the machine started sparking.
"Oh no!" Magnamite quickly flew away as Bunnelby burrowed himself underground. Clemont threw the device forward but it exploded moments later leaving Clemont covered in soot. Serena, Bonnie, and their pokemon all sweatdropped as they saw what happened.
"Another failure brother".
"Why!?" Magnamite and Bunnelby sweardropped as they went back by their trainer. Serena turned back to her Pokémon when she noticed Ash and Red walking back toward the camp.
"There you guys are, training go well?".
"Yeah it went well , but there's something we need to tell you guys" Ash said.
"What you mean?" Serena said.
"Well remember when he told you that fighting just came naturally to us, that wasn't exactly the truth" Red said.
"What?" The others said as Pikachu and Charmander also looked surprised.
"It happened the summer after summer camp, Red and I were looking for a Pokémon in the woods by Pallet town". Several years ago Ash and Red were playing in the Pallet woods.
"Come on Red I think I saw it go this way" Ash said as Red followed him. The two boys continue to look to the woods as a few Pidgy flew overhead. Red continued to look around until he saw the Pokémon ever looking for.
"There he is Ash!", the two boys ran over to a Squirtle that was resting under a tree. The squirtle unlike most Squirtle had a green shell and dark blue skin.
"Squirtle there you are!" Ash said. The Squirtle woke up and saw the two young boys in front of him. At first he seemed a little scared. "Squir!" he said as he backed up.
"It's ok we don't want to hurt you, we just want to play!" Ash said.
"Hey I have an idea , I saved this from lunch" Red said as he took out an oran berry and held in in front of Squirtle. the wild Squirtle slowly took the oran and Barry and ate it. that moment later he seemed to burst for love happiness and energy. He quickly hugged both of the boys yelling "Squirtle!". For the next half hour Ash and Red played with the squirtle in the woods.
"Twenty-nine, thirty" Ash said as he opened his eyes and moved back to the tree. "Ready or not here I come". Ash started looking around the woods for Red and the squirtle. As Ash looked around he noticed that there was a broken stick near a bush.
"Hmm" Ash said. He poked through the bush and found his brother hiding there.
"Ah ha! I found you Red".
"Dang it". The two boys started looking around for Squirtle and after a few minutes they saw what looked like a shell with a pile of leaves over it. They quietly walked over until they were close and then grabbed him.
"Gotcha!".
"Squirtle!" Squirtle said. Moments later the Squirtle saw two men coming up behind Ash and Red.
"Suir?" He said pointing at the two men. Ash and Red turned around to see two grown men wearing red uniforms with large black R's on the shirt. Two menacing looking nidorino stood beside the men.
"finally the shiny Squirtle, executive Yull is gonna be happy when we bring him this guy" one of the men said as he walked over towards squirtle. Squirtle now scared slowly backed up as Ash and Red got between the man and Squirtle.
"Hey you can't just take Squirtle!" Ash said.
"Out of the way" The man said as he knocked at Ash and Red over. He tried to grab Squirtle but was blasted by water gun.
"No you don't, horn attack!" the other man said. The two Nidorino sprinted forward and smashed their horns into squirtle knocking him back.
"Oh no Squirtle!" The two boys got up as the men put Squirtle into a cage. Ash and Red both ran over and tried to grab the cage only to be knocked back by the second man.
"Looks like we need to teach these brats a lesson" He saw as the two nidorino walked over to them growling. Ash and Red tried to get up as the nidorino moved towards them. Just before the two Pokémon could reach Ash and Red another pokemon leapt from the tree in-between the boys and the nidorino.
The Pokémon stood on two feet and looked like a canine Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has a long snout and ears. When its mouth is open, it has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso, and blue fur on its thighs that resembles shorts. It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot.
"What the?" One of the rocket grunts said. The lucario quickly hit both nidorino with close combat knocking them out.
"A lucario?" the other grunts said. Ash and Red noticed a man in a tree behind the rocket grunts wearing a uniform that almost looked like an old tunic but with more modern designs, a hood, and a symbol of a black spade on the side of his elbow. The man jumped down from the tree and landed behind the two grunts as they turned around to face him.
"Hey who are you?".
"Who cares get him" the other one said as he pulled a knife and swung it at the man. The man grabbed the rocket grunt's arm and forced the grunt to the ground by smashing his elbow into the man's jaw. The other grunt tried to knife the man in the back. The man quickly turned around and blocked the man's swing with his right forearm. Once the knife was blocked he thrust his left hand forward as a blade shot right out from under his wrist and stabbed it into the rocket grunts left shoulder.
The rocket grunt cried out in pain as he fell to the ground. The man and his lucario stood over the two rocket grunts.
"You will never threatened these children, or any pokemon ever again. Or next time I will end you". The two rocket grunts quickly returned to their Pokémon and ran off as fast as they could without Squirtle. The lucario went over to free squirtle as the man walked over to Ash and Red who were amazed at what they saw.
"Are you two all right?".
"Yeah, now. But who are you mister" Ash said. The man's hood was up and his mouth was covered by a cloth , but Ash could tell he had brownish eyes and raven black hair.
"My name is Felix".
"And so for the rest of that summer in the next few summers Ash and I would sneak off to the woods where Felix was. He would then train us in hand-to-hand combat, land navigation, terrain crossing, and training Pokémon" Red said.
"Why did he train you guys?" Serena said.
"We asked him that ourselves. He said that he thought we had good potential to be master trainers some day and that the skills he could teach us would get us there. But it almost seemed as he enjoyed bonding with us, and teaching us. He did ask us not to tell out mother about what we were doing because he though but never said why" Ash said.
"it was also something else he liked to teach us about, what he called it Pokémon aura" Red said.
" What's aura?" Clemont said.
"Felix described it as a form of spiritual energy that is supposed to be the essence of every living creature. He said Pokémon like Lucario use aura and that there use to be a brotherhood called the aura guardians. According to Felix the aura guardians were an order of humans who could use aura like lucario. They shared connections with their pokemon like no trainer's had ever done before and worked to bring peace and freedom to the world" Ash said.
"That sounds incredible, but what happened to the aura guardians?" Serena said.
"Felix never said, he only hinted that their disappearance wasn't quite as bad as portrayed" Red said.
"Were sorry that we didn't tell guys about this earlier" Ash said.
"It's alright, but why didn't you tell us in the first place?" Clemont said.
"Well it was a long story and it wasn't the best time to tell it" Red said.
"I suppose it was" Clemont said.
"Well now that we have that out of the way Ambrette town isn't far from here. We should be able to get there by one" Red said looking at the map.
"Alright lets pack up and head out" Ash said. After a few hours of walking the group had to pass through a cave.
"Alright why does this map not include the cave?" Red said frustrated as the group tried to find their way through the tunnels.
"You didn't think of that before we came in here!" Ash said.
"Shut up".
"Guys I'm starting to get scared" Serena said as a pair of zubat flew over them.
"Alright what about all that land navigation stuff you said Felix taught you?" Clemont said.
"He taught us in the woods not caves" Ash said.
"Guys are we going to be lost in here forever?" Bonnie said scared.
"No we're not because I have an idea" Red said.
"Alright enlighten us" Ash said.
"I figure the wild Pokémon and here have to know these caves well. So if we catch one they can lead us to the exit".
"that's actually a really good idea" Ash said.
"Right now we just need to find one". The group looked around for a bit before Serena saw a lavender bat-like Poké had two clawed fingers on each wing and two long toes on each foot, and was covered in black fur, large yelloweyes, and two purple teardrop-shaped spots on the front of its face, and large teardrop-shaped ears that resemble loudspeakers.
"what is that?" She said opening her pokedex. "Noibat, They live in pitch black caves. Their enormous ears can emit ultrasonic waves of 200,000hertz"
"Guys over here I found one". Red and the other came over as the Noibat turned to them.
"Alright go Fletchinder!" Red said throwing a pokeball forward. Fletchinder came out and squawked at Noibat. The noibat let go of the cave ceiling and flew toward Fletchinder.
"Fletchinder use ember". Fletchinder opened his beak and shot a few small bursts of fire at the noibat. The noibat tried to use agility to avoid the embers but fletchinder's accuracy was too good and his was hit in the wings.
"Nice shot fletchinder, now use flame charge". Fletchinder covered himself in fire and flew at the noibat with great speed. The noibat opened his mouth and unleashed supersonic confusing Fletchinder and causing him to crash into the cave wall.
"OH no Fletchinder!". With his opponent confused Noibat flew at him and hit Fletchinder with wing attack. Fletchinder landed on the ground as Noibat prepared to use air cutter.
"You can do it Fletchinder use Flame charge!" Fletchinder regained focus and covered himself in fire. He then hurled himself at Noibat knocking him out of the air and onto the ground.
"Pokeball go!" Red shouted as he threw a pokeball forward. The pokeball hit Noibat and sent him inside. Everyone watched closely as the pokeball shook and flashed. After a minute the shaking stopped and the pokeball sparkled.
"Alright I called him! Nice job Fletchinder" Red said. He picked up the pokeball and returned Fletchinder.
"good now we can find out how to get out of here" Serena said. Red let out his new Noibat who flew just above his trainer's head.
"Noibat we seem to be a bit lost, could you show was a way out". Noibat smiled and nodded. He flew in a different direction than the way they had been going. After another 20 minutes they had reached an exit.
"Alright great job Noibat".
"Finally sunlight!" Serena said. The group had reached the South western coastline of Kalos. The ocean below was clear and blue as waves struck against beaches.
"Well were out of the cave and heard by the West Coast but where are we exactly?" Clemont said. Red looked at the map again.
"We should be very close to Ambrette town. If we follow this path we should get there in no time". Red led them down the path for another 20 minutes before they saw Ambrette town.
"We're here!" Bonnie shouted with excitement.
"We should head to the Pokémon Center first" Ash said. The others agreed and made their way to thought town Pokémon center. Once there they gave their Pokémon to nurse joy to look at. In the meantime they had lunch at a booth.
"So how far is Cyllage city?" Serena said.
"Not very far by distance, but the paths are pretty treacherous that it can take us a few days before we get there" Red said.
"Hey Serena will left the battle Chateau you ask Winston were the others might be?" Ash said.
"Yes, In fact he told me that one of the chateau's is in Cyllage city".
"that's good all three of us can make some progress" Ash said. As the group ate Ash saw two women enter the pokemon center and quickly recognized them.
"Red It's mom and Alexa" The group turned to see Delia and Alexa walk to a table and sit down as Helioptile jumped onto the table.
"Mom" Red said. Alexa and Delia turned to see Ash and the others sitting at the table.
"Ash, Red" Delia said. Delia and Alexa walked over to the booth at Ash and the others were sitting at.
"What are you guys doing here?" Alexa said.
"We're on our way to Cyllage city for our next gym battle and Serena's next battle Chateau" Ash said.
"Oh so you've decided to compete in the battle chateau" Alexa said.
"That's right, Ash, Red, Clemont and I have made it to the rank of Baron and Baroness" Serena said.
"Congratulations" Delia said.
"So what are you guys doing here?" Red said.
"We're here for a story, apparently the Army has made scientific history here and have finally allowed the press to come and see it".
"Scientific history! that sounds incredible can we came and see too!?" Clemont said.
"Yeah it sounds exciting" Ash said.
"While I don't see why not, what about you Alexa?" Delia said.
"I don't mind if you guys tagalong" Alexis said.
"Thanks this is going to be amazing!" Clemont said. After finishing their lunch Ash and the others followed Delia and Alexa to the army research Center in Ambrette town. The research laboratory had a sentry fence around the perimeter with date sentry.
At the gate were three callow soldiers with a pair of lairon. When they approached the gate one of the soldiers turned to them.
"Identification". Alexa took out her identification and showed it to the soldier.
"So your from the Lumoise press, right your are expected" the soldiers opened up the gates and let them inside the perimeter. The research facility itself was built into the side of the rock walls. Two more soldiers were standing by the entrance to the building but didn't see them as they main entrance had a reception desk with a few chairs on the other side of the room.
Alexa walked over to the receptionist and told her they were from the press.
"oh yes Colonel Agen is expecting you, he's in the main lab" The receptionist gave them directions to the lab. The group moved through the hallways towards the lab. When they reached the door to the lab a soldier had to use his security card key to open it for them.
"get ready to see beyond belief" the soldier said as he opened the door. When the lab was revealed the very first thing they all saw were two Pokémon. One was Quadra pedal with light blue skin, large blue eyes, two yellow and red sail like frills on it's head and what looked like an ice crystal on the side of its body.
The other was a bipedal pokemon with two short stubby arms a large head with a massive jaw, rough brown skin and a set of white feathers on the top of its head and neck ( I know Tyrunt doesn't have those but some paleontologists think real T-rexes did).
"Woah what are those!?" Serena said. Two Kalos army scientists and another soldier were standing behind the two Pokémon wearing lab coats over their uniforms. The one without a labcoat had a symbol of an eagle on the collar of his uniform.
"Oh you must be from the press, we've been waiting for you. I'm Colonel Agen the commanding officer of this installation. I would like to introduce you to our newest restored fossil pokemon. Amaura and Tyrunt". Clemont's eyes lit up when he saw them.
"Are those!?".
"Dinosaur Pokémon" Alexa said. Ash and Red took out their pokedexs.
"Amaura the tundra Pokémon, this calm Pokémon lived in a cold land where there were no violent predators like Tyrantrum, thus scientists believe it was very friendly".
"Tyrunt the Royal heir Pokémon, it's immense jaws have enough destructive force that it can chew up an automobile and is believed to a live about 65 million years ago".
"They are dinosaur Pokémon" Ash said.
"this is incredible" Delia said. Alexa took out a camera and took a few pictures of the two pokemon.
The Amaura smiled "Ama!" she said as she ran forward and nuzzled her head against Serena.
"My she certainly is friendly" Serena said.
" Amaura are always very friendly" one of the scientists said.
" What is the story behind these pokemon, how did you guys do it?" Delia said as she took a pen and pad of paper out.
"Yes please tell us how you did it!" Clemont said.
"Several years ago a minning company was drilling here for gold when they found fossils. A private research company working with the government thought they could make history with the fossils that were found here. It turns out they had preserved DNA in them" the other scientists said.
"So we set up the installation here to do research on the fossils and two years ago we revived the first fossil pokemon. That tyrunt evolved into a Tyrantrum and is currently being used in the army" Colonel Agen said. That was when Ash and the others remembered Capt. Laffon from Lumoise city".
"I think we saw him" Ash said.
"So the army has been bringing ancient Pokémon back to life. Why?" Red said.
"These pokemon are the key to so many evolutionary doors and secrets. Our research division could spend decades studying these Pokémon. Not only that but Tyrantrum and Tyrunts have proven outstanding in the field" Colonel Agen said.
The tyrunt looked at Ash and PIkachu and kept staring at them when they noticed it.
"how many of these Pokémon do you have?" Delia asked.
"I'm afraid the exact number in the army is classified , but we can show you the other ones we keep here at the base" Colonel Agen said. He called over Amaura who reluctantly walked back towards the Col. Agen took them out of the Lab and to a large elevator.
The lift took them down several floors to a room with several lockers in it. Colonel Agen opened the lockers and took out several winter jackets as another soldier came out from the room ahead.
"Cpl. watch Tyrunt while we're inside".
"Yes sir". The soldier took Tyrunt over to the elevator.
"You'll need to put these on, it's about to get very cold". The group put the jackets on before Colonel Agen took them inside the next room. The next room was an artificial habitat covered in snow, it seemed like an ancient tundra.
"It's so cold in here" Bonnie said as she shivered.
"we tried to re-create the natural environment of Amaura". As the group looked around Alexa saw another two Amaura standing in front of a soldier who was feeding them.
"Look there's another two" She said before she walked up and took a few pictures. The amaura that came with them ran over to the other two. When they saw the new Amaura they smiled turning to her.
"Ama!".
"Ama!".
"They really like being around others don't they" Delia said.
"Our research has always pointed to them being social animals". The group watched a few of the soldiers interacted with the three Amaura. Clemont was about to ask something the ground began to shake.
"What it is that?" Clemont asked.
"Look" Ash said as a massive pokemon came into sight. The Pokémon resembled Amaura only it had much darker blue skin, it's sails went all the way down its neck and the ends of sails were blue.
"Woah it looks like Amaura" Serena said as she took out her pokedex.
"Aurorus the tundra Pokémon, the diamond shaped crystals on its body can instantly create a thick wall of ice to block an opponent's attack".
"Is she the evolved form of Amaura?" Ash said.
"Yes, we named this one Bertha, she usually looks after the amaura" Agen said. Two of the amaura went over to the Aurorus".
"So are Aurorus used for military purposes to?" Clemont asked.
"NO only Tyrantrum are used for military purposes. Aurorus and Amaura are strictly for research purposes only. Also don't be shy to go up to them. We try to interact with them as much as we can" Agen said.
"Really yay!" Bonnie shouted as she ran over to the Amaura and Aurorus.
"Bonnie wait!" Clemont said chasing after her. The others came over and interacted with the Pokémon. Ash and Red stood by the colossal Aurorus. Aurorus lowered her head directly in front of Ash and Red. Pikachu looked at the dinosaur Pokémon amazed.
"Pika pikachu", the Aurorus let out a load wail responding to pikachu. Red noticed some cold air coming out of the crystals on the side of her body and ice built up on the ground.
"She's incredible" He said as he rubbed the front of her head.
"Could you imagine having a Pokémon like this" Ash said. Clemont and Bonnie were by one of the Amaura as Bonnie rode on his back.
"Bonnie be careful" Clemont said.
"But it's so fun!" Bonnie said as the Amaura smiled and ran around Clemont occasionally stopping to rub his head against him.
Delia and Alexa were by another Amaura. While The amaura moved around Delia while Alexa took pictures. "Oh my he's quite playful" Delia said as the Amaura nuzzled his head against her.
Serena was with the first amaura they had met as she nuzzled against Serena. When Amaura stopped she lowered her head and picked up some snow before pushing it into Serena's face.
"Very funny, how about this" Serena said as she shoved some snow into Amaura's face. Amaura knocked Serena onto the ground and stood over her as she pushed more snow onto her and Serena shoved snow back onto Amaura.
"Serena seems to be having a fun time with that Amaura" Ash said.
"She's probably going to be disappointed we have to leave her" Red said. The group spent another few minutes there before Col. Agen told them it was time to move on. Serena was disappointed she had to leave Amaura. As they started walking back towards the exit Amaura ran back towards Serena.
"Huh Amaura" Serena said. Colonel Agen walked over to Amaura.
"Amaura you have to stay here with the others " Amaura shook her head and nuzzled Serena.
"I think she wants to stay with Serena Little longer" Ash said.
"Please Col." Serena said.
"While I suppose it would be all right if she stayed for the rest of your tour" Agen said.
"Amaura!" She said happily. Colonel Agen entered his security key and the elevator began moving down.
When they reached the next room two soldiers saw Amaura.
"Sir what's she doing here, you know this is the Tyrunt and Tyrantrum enclosure".
"I've allowed a supervised visit". Colonel Agen used his security key to open the door to the next enclosure. The enclosure looked like a dense jungle like forest. Unlike the last enclosure it was very hot.
"Wow it's very hot in here" Clemont said. Serena noticed Amaura seemed uncomfortable for a minute before cold air came out of the crystal on her side and she smiled again. Tyrunt in contrast seemed much happier in the warmth.
Colonel Agen led them to a large waterhole with several Tyrunt and a Tyrantrum drinking from it. A few soldiers were moving large amounts of food in front of another few Tyrunt and Tyrantrum. These Pokémon seemed far more ferocious, they tore apart the food as it was placed in front of them.
"They are still adjusting to eating things that aren't alive" Colonel Agen said. As Ash looked around he saw what looked a few battlefields with Tyrunts and Tyrantrums facing off against each other.
"Woah they're battling" Ash said.
"that's where we train them how to battle" Agen said. Ash noticed on the sidelines of one of the battlefield where two Tyrunt were battling was a familiar looking soldier.
"Wait a minute is that" Ash started.
"Tyrunt use ancient power, Tyrunt use dragon claw" the soldiers said. One of the Tyrunt used ancient power to hurl several large rocks at the other Tyrunt. The other Tyrunt gathered up his Dragon energy as his tail turned violet and smashed each of the incoming rocks.
Ash and the others got closer to see the battle and Ash realized he was right it, the soldier overseeing battle was Grant.
"That's enough you two, go and get some food" Grant said before turning around and seeing Ash.
"Ash, Red, Serena, Alexa what are you guys doing here?".
"Delia and I are here to gather information on our story about the army recreating dinosaurs. These guys tagged along" Alexa said.
"Sgt you know them?" Agen said.
"Yes sir, I've known Alexa for some time now. These guys I met a few days ago at the battle Chateau" Grant said.
"So this is what you do in the army" Serena said.
"That's right I'm one of the Tyrunt trainers. It certainly helped me become a gym leader". The Tyrunt with them saw another two Tyrunt moving towards the battlefield. He quickly sprinted over and took position on the closer side and gave what sounded like a battle cry.
"I guess he wants to go next" Ash said.
"All right if you really want to. Tyrunt use ancient power ,Tyrunt use stone edge" Grant said. the first Tyrunt closer to them and unleashed ancient power of the second Tyrunt unleashed stone edge. The rocks from stone edge were much harder and sharper and were able to tear through this ancient power hitting the first Tyrunt. Despite being hit with stone edge Tyrunt got right back up and roared.
"Tyrunt use Dragon claw, Tyrunt use Dragon tail" . The first Tyrunt sprinted at the second one as his claws turned violet. The second Tyrunt gathered his Dragon energy and then ducked ,thus avoiding Dragon claw before smashing his tail into the first Tyrunt hurling him back several feet.
"He's not doing very good" Red said.
"He can do it I know he can. Don't give up Tyrunt!", "Pika". Tyrunt heard Ash and got up again roaring.
"Tyrunt use bulldoze" both Tyrunt sprinted at each other as fast as they could and collided with incredible power. The first Tyrunt , however, managed to overpower the second and hurled him back to the other side of the battlefield.
"Alright I knew he had it in him" Ash said. Tyrunt roared in victory. Moments later the room started to shake.
"What was that?" Delia said. The soldiers and pokemon looked around also confused on what was going on. The shaking almost drilling sound got closer and closer until a part of the ceiling burst open and the end of the drill came out.
"What the?" Agen said. Before they could even respond another 3 drill heads appeared in the ceiling.
"Drills?" Red said. The drill heads lifted and ropes fell down from the holes. Over a dozen men in black uniforms with Red R's on them rappelled down from the ropes to pokeballs forward. Out of the pokeballs came Raticace, Nidorino, and golbats.
"Team rocket! Defensive stations!" Colonel Agen shouted. The soldiers in the room scrambled as they tried to get into a defensive position. Most of the soldiers used the tyrunts and Tyrantrums to battle the team rocket Pokémon.
"We need to get you guys out of here" Agen said.
"No we can help" Ash said.
"It's too dangerous" Agen said.
"We've dealt with these guys before" Red said. Four rocket grunts approached them with several raticace, Golbat, and Nidorino.
"No you don't Tyrant use stone edge" Grant said. Two of the Tyrunt hurled spiked rocks into the air knocking down two of the golbat.
"Pikachu thunderbolt!" Ash shouted. Pikachu jumped down from Ash's shoulder and electrocuted several of the golbat. Meanwhile two raticace ran at the group preparing to use hyper fang.
"Go pancham use karate chop!" Red said. Pancham came out of his Pokeball and smashed one of the Raticace with karate chop. The other was knocked out by Tyrunt as he ran forward and smashed him with headbutt.
"Nice job Tyrunt" Ash said. "Tyrunt!" he said proudly.
"Go Fennekin!" Serena said. Fennekin came out and landed in front of Serena. Two of the Nidorino ran at her preparing to use horn attack. Before the second one could hit Fennekin Amaura came forward and blasted him with icebeam.
"Oh thanks Amaura". Amaura nuzzled Serena for a moment before they all heard a familiar voice.
"now now that wasn't very nice" They all watched as three figures came from behind the grunts.
"Prepare for trouble".
"And make it double".
"To protect the world from devastation"
"To unite all peoples within our nation"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love"
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
"Jessie"
"James".
"team rocket Blast of at the speed of light".
"Surrender now or prepare to fight".
"Meowth that's right".
"What!? You guys again".
"We found out about the Army's Little projects down here" James said.
"Now team rocket is here to cash in on the dinosaurs".
"Listen I want you guys to get back to the elevator and had to sub level 4-a. It's the mines , you'll be safe there". Agen said.
"But" .
"GO!" Agen shouted as he took out a pokeball and sent in a Tyrantrum.
"He's right , go!" Grant said. Reluctantly Ash and the others went back to the elevator as Jessie and James sent out a Nidoking and Rhydon. it was only after they got in the elevator that they realized Tyrunt had snuck aboard with them.
"Tyrunt what are you doing here?" Ash said. "Tyrunt".
"Well it's too late , the soldier already put in the destination" Alexa said.
"This is scary, how into the market get into an Army base?" Bonnie said.
"Everything's going to be all right Bonnie, the Col. said will be safe down here until they get rid of team rocket" Clemont said. When the elevator stopped and the doors opened they saw two large excavation lamps set up at the entrance to it large tunnel.
"This must be the mine" Red said.
"Should we wait here?" Serena said.
"That sounds like a good idea" Ash said. Not a moment later Skitty jumped out of Bonnie's bag and ran down the tunnel.
"Hey Skitty come back here!" Bonnie said as she chased after her.
"What Bonnie no!" Clemont shouted as he chased after her.
"Well they're both going to get lost now" Red said as he followed them.
"We should help" Ash said as he and Serena followed with Tyrunt and Amaura.
"What are you guys doing we need to stay together" Delia said as she and Alexa went after them. after a few minutes all three groups had accidentally gone down separate tunnels. In one tunnel Bonnie finally caught her Skitty.
"Don't run off like that Skitty" She said.
"Bonnie!" Clemont shouted as he caught up with her.
"Don't huff just huff run off huff like that" Clemont said as he tried to catch his breath.
"Hey brother where are the others?".
"I don't know I think we're lost" Clemont said. Suddenly they heard footsteps coming from both directions.
"Who- Who's there" Clemont said.
"Looks like we got some meddling kids" Someone said. At first Clemont and Bonnie thought it was team rocket with somehow gotten down there. To their surprise it was four men wearing red and orange tuxedos, with orange hair and shades. Another man wearing a white suit and yellow shades came in between two of the grunts.
"Who are you?" Bonnie said shaking.
"Team Flare, and you shouldn't be here" The lead man said.
"Well we'll just be on our way then" Clemont said.
"Oh no you don't" the lead man said as the grunts sent out litleos.
"If it's a fight you want you'll get it" Clemont said as he sent out Magnaton and Bunnelby.
"Litleo use ember" two of the grunts said.
"Litleo fire fang" the other two said.
"Magnaton dodge and use thunder, Bunnelby dig into mudshot! " Clemont said.
Bunnelby quickly moved underground as the two litleo tried to bite him. Meanwhile Magnaton moved out of the way as Embers flew past him. Once he was clear he blasted both litleo with thunder knocking them out. Bunnelby shot up out of the ground knocking out one of the litleo. Once he was in the air litleo hurled shots of mut at the second litleo knocking him out.
"Hmm you guys aren't so tough" Bonnie said. The four grunts sighed as they returned their Pokémon. The lead man took out two pokeballs and set out a male and female Pyroar.
"Flamethrower!" He said. The two lions blasted Magnaton and bunnelby knocking them out.
"What!?" Clemont and Bonnie said amazed at the pyroar's power.
"Now we've got you" The grunts said as then came from behind and grabbed them.
"Let us go!" Bonnie said.
"you're not gonna stand in the way of our mission here brats" the lead man said.
"But I will" Someone said. The two men who were holding Clemont and Bonnie were knocked out from behind. The team flare members saw a man wearing a uniform that almost looked like an old tunic but with more modern designs, a hood, and a symbol of a black spade on the side of his elbow.
"Who are you?" The lead team flare member said.
"I'm your worst nightmare" He said as two blades came out of his wrists after he threw a pokeball forward. A massive Tyranitar came out and roared as the two pyroar readied themselves. The man touched a stone that was on his wrist and Tyranitar started to transform.
He grew larger and the scales on his stomach turned red, He grew another several large spikes around his body and roared even loader. The man didn't even say anything and the Tyranitar unleashed stone edge knocking out both pyroar.
"Uh get him" The lead man said as he shoved his grunts forward. One of the grunts threw a punch which the man easily blocked with his right forearm then plowed his left elbow into the grunt's face and hurled him into the wall. The second man pulled a knife and tried to stab him,but the man caught the grunt's wrist before cutting his hand with his wristblade.
The lead man pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the man.
"Look out!" Clemont said. The man turned to the flare officer and took a deep breath. His eyes flashed blue before he thrust his left hand forward. What looked like a wave of blue energy knocked the gun out of the flare officer's hand.
Clemont saw the officer's pants get wet before he sprinted away in the other direction with the other grunts behind him.
"Thanks but who are you?" Clemont said. The man's Tyranitar stepped up beside him as he looked back at Clemont and Bonnie.
"I'm an aura warrior, here to stop team flare".
Elsewhere in another tunnel Ash, Serena, and Red were trying to find the others.
"Guys! Guys!" Serena said. Ash and Red had their charmanders out to help light up the tunnel.
"where is everyone we should as found them by now" Ash said. Charmander and Red's charmander were looking ahead when they saw another light ahead of them.
"Char" , "Charmander" They said.
"Wait you guys see something?" Red said. Tyrunt, Amaura, and Pikachu saw it as well.
"Hey guys I think there's a light at the end of the tunnel" Ash said. They followed the red light until they reached a rock formation that had a red crystal sitting on top of it.
"What is that?" Serena said.
"I don't know but I this strange feeling from it" Ash said as he picked it up.
"I'll take that" Someone said from behind them. They looked around to see blue pokemon nets flying at them. they quickly jumped to the side but all of their pokemon were caught in the nets except for Amaura and Tyrunt.
"Guys!" They all shouted. Serena turned around to see 3 men walking towards them. Two of them she recognized his team flare grunts. The third had a team flare symbol but it was on a uniform that resembled old-fashioned armor.
"Who are you?" Serena said.
"We're the one's who will be taking that crystal. Now if you just handed over no one has to get hurt" He said. Ash almost considered giving it to him but he had a very bad feeling about this man.
"I'll never give it to you".
"Alright looks like we have to do this the hard way". The man sent out two Pyroar as Amaura and Tyrunt came in front of them.
"Pyroar use flamethrower".
"Amaura dodge and use aurora beam" Serena said.
"Tyrunt dodge and use stone edge" Ash said.
Amaura jumped out of the way just in time before blasting the first pyroar with Aurora beam. Meanwhile Tyrunt unleashed stone edge on the second pyroar.
"Pyroar use Flame charge and rock smash" The man said. The first Pyroar covered himself in fire sprinted forward at Amaura hitting her before she could dodge it.
Tyrunt tried to avoid the rock smash but was also hit by the second Pyroar.
"You guys can do it! Tryunt use Dragon tail".
"Amaura use ice beam".
"Pyroar counter with crunch and flame thrower". Amaura's icebeam met the flamethrower and the two attacks struggle to overpower the other. Meanwhile Tyrunt saw Pyroar try to bite him and almost felt insulted. He smashed Pyroar across the face with his tail and roared flashing his massive jaws.
Finally icebeam had overpowered the flamethrower and hit pyroar.
"No more playing around, Pyroar use fireblast and hypervoice". The two pyroar blasted Amaura and Tyrunt with their attacks. Tyrunt quickly got back up to face his attacker but Amaura struggled to get back on her feet.
"You can do it Amaura I know you can beat them!" Serena said as she came over and helped her up. Amaura looked back and Pyroar and let out a powerful wail that sounded threatening.
"Pyroar use fire blast and hyper voice".
"Tyrunt use ancient power".
"Amaura use ancient power" Both dinosaur unleashed massive rocks at the pyroars that blew threw the hypervoice and fire blast knocking out both pyroar.
"You guys did it ! You beat them!" Ash said.
"Great job!" Serena said. The man returned his pyroar then grinned as he sent out another two.
"What!?" Ash , Serena, and Red said.
"Overheat and hyperbeam" The two pyroar blasted Tyrunt and Amaura knocking them out.
"Oh no!" Serena said. Ash and Red reached for their other pokeballs when the two grunts ran forward and tried to grab them. Ash quickly got hold of the first grunts arm and moved behind the grunt hold his arm in place and kicking at the back of his leg forcing him to the ground while Red did the same.
"Oooh tough guys huh, well why don't you try that on me" The man said as he stepped forward. Ash and Red stood ready to fight. The man struck Red first and hard, he wasn't even able to bring his arm up to defend himself. Ash tried to get the man from behind but he quickly spun around and pushed Ash back with his right palm before smashing his other palm into Ash's face.
Red tried to hit the man's leg but he moved his leg back and caught Red's leg in a trap before hurling him to the ground. Ash tried one last attack but was easily blocked by the man. Once he had a hold of Ash he hit him in the head 3 times before hurling him to the ground.
"Ash!" Serena shouted. "Pika!" "Char!" ,"Charmander!". Serena knelt over them but saw the man walk up with a blade in hand.
"I was going to let you go, but now you have to be taught a lesson". The man said as he took the crystal from Ash.
"please no!" Serena said as tears began to fill her eyes".
"I'm sorry but I can't let anyone stand in our" He said as he raised the blade. Serena closed her eyes and looked down.
"why don't you pick on someone your own size". The man was hit in the chest by a burst of aura energy and knocked back. Serena, Ash, and Red opened their eyes to see a man wearing a uniform that almost looked like an old tunic but with more modern designs, a hood, and a symbol of a black spade on the side of his elbow. Standing beside him was a mega lucario.
"Felix!?" Ash said.
"don't worry I won't let him hurt you". The lucario sprinted forward and knocked out both Pyroar with close combat. The man ran at Felix and tried to slash him. Felix let out his wrist blades and blocked the man's blade. Once it was blocked he bashed the man across the face with his left wrist.
The man came back and tried to grab Felix's wrist but was met with Felix's right wristblade in the shoulder. He lurched back and tried to trap Felix's leg with his own but was quickly countered. Every time the man made a move Felix countered it and struck him. The man stumbled backwards as blood ran down his uniform.
The crystal had fallen out of his shirt and he tried to grab it. Felix took one step forward and snatched it.
"I don't think so". The man scowled at Felix and got up with his grunts. "This isn't over, not by a long shot!" He screamed before running off in the other direction. Felix and his Lucario turned back to the others. Lucario freed the pokemon while Felix helped Ash and Red up.
"Ash, Red are you ok?".
"We are now, it's good to see you again after all this time Felix" Ash said.
"It's good to see you two as well, what are you doing down here?".
"Eh it's sort of a long story. I'm Serena by the way, Ash and Red have told me about you".
"Pleasure to meet you Serena".
"Felix what are you doing here?" Red said.
"I to stop them from getting this crystal, and to save you apparently".
"Thanks again, but what is that?" Ash said.
"It's something that would have been very dangerous in their hands. But it's safe now".
"Felix that was you who saved me back in Lumoise city and who stopped team rocket outside of Lumoise city wasn't it" Ash said. Felix took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid I haven't been completely honest with you boys" Felix Looked like there was something he really wanted to tell them.
"I'm... I'm... An aura warrior".
"What?" Ash and Red said. Lucario looked back at Felix and shook his head as if he was disappointed.
"You mean all those stories you told us were true" Ash said.
"Yes, we're real and we work for peace and harmony between humans and pokemon. There was a possible danger, but now that we have this it's passed". Lucario freed the pokemon who quickly ran to their trainers.
"PIkachu!" , "Charmander!. Pikachu and Charmander ran into Ash's arms as Red's charmander ran into his arms.
"I can see you have a strong connection with you pokemon. I guess you took my lessons about connecting wto heart".
"We took everything you told us to heart" Ash said. Felix looked very proud of Ash and Red. He reached into his robe and took out a small box.
"I see you both have a charmander. Take these" Felix said opening the box. Inside were 4 stones. Two looked the same and resembled the one captain Nair had on his wrist. The other two looked similar to each other but not exactly the same. One was dark blue with a blue and black flame symbol in the center while the other was yellow with a red and yellow flame like symbol in the center.
"What are they?" Ash said.
"Take one and give the other to you charmander. When the time is right you'll know what to do with them". Ash and Red each took 2 of the stones . They kept the ones that were the same but gave the slightly different ones to their charmanders.
"It was great seeing you two again but I have to go now".
"Felix wait there is still so much we have to ask you" Red said. Felix looked very sad for a moment but shook his head.
"I'm sorry but I must go. Please stay safe" Felix and Lucario ran off quickly vanishing from sight.
"Wow he was amazing" Serena said.
"I wonder what these stones he gave us are for?" Red said.
"I don't know, but I can already tell it's something special" Ash said as he watched his charmander hold the item in amazement.
Several hours later they were at the pokemon center with Colonel Agen and Grant.
"Team rocket members getting into the base and team flare members getting into the mines. What else could go wrong!" Agen shouted.
"Well look on the bright side sir, their raid failed spectacularly, I mean they didn't get any pokemon and all but 3 of the team rocket members were captured" Grant said.
"I suppose, but team flare did get away".
"What about these aura guardians, they saved us" Clemont said.
"Well I'm not sure how they got in but they left no trace of themselves in the system. They were like some kind of ghost assassins" Grant said.
"I wish you had told me about this Felix man years ago" Delia said.
"We're sorry mom, but he made us promise not to yell you" Red said.
"Well it would have been nice to know some man was training my boys how to be aura warriors".
"Colonel ! Tryunt and Aumaura are all better" Nurse Joy said as she came out with them.
"Oh good , lets get them back to the lab" Agen said.
"Uh sir" Grant said. Agen looked over to see Amaura and Tyrunt both beside Ash and Serena.
"Sir I think they want to stay with them".
"What!?".
"Really you want to stay with us" Ash said. "Tyrunt!" ,"Ama!"
"Please Colonel, I know they were made for the army but I've really come to care about Amaura" Serena said.
"These pokemon costed millions of dollars to bring back to life. I can't just give them to you" Agen said.
"Sir, I know it's not practical but I don't think these pokemon will be much use to the army when they're so attached to these trainers. A pokemon is only as good as its bond with its trainer" Grant said. Agen sighed and put his hand on his face.
"Alright fine, I'll pull some strings and call in some favors" Agen said.
"Really! Thank you so much!" Ash and Serena said.
"You guys get to stay with us" Serena said. "Ama!" , "Tyr!". Ash and Serena both took out pokeballs and tapped them on Amaura's head and Tyrunt's head. Less then a minute later they were caught.
"Alright ! I caught a Tyrunt".
"And I caught a Amaura!".
"h'm lucky" Clemont said.
"Well I'd say after everything that happened we have a story that's going to be on the headlines for weeks" Alexa said.
"I agree, we're heading back to Lumoise. Please try to stay out of more trouble. This is getting frightening" Delia said.
"We'll do our best mom" Red said. Later that night Ash and the others had checked out rooms in the pokemon center. As usual Clemont and Bonnie got one room while Ash, Red, and Serena got another. Serena was having trouble sleeping. She couldn't stop thinking about when the man almost killed Ash in the was like watching him fall from the Lumoise tower all over again. Just the idea of loosing him.
She quietly got out of her bed , careful not to wake up fennnekin who was sleeping at the foot of her bed , or the others. She quietly walked over to the bottom bunk which Ash was sleeping on and lowered her head directly over his.
"Why can't I just tell him how I feel. Why am I so afraid" She said to herself. Without realizing it she had woken up Pikachu who was laying just above Ash's head on the pillow. He opened his eyes and saw Serena standing over Ash. Without even thinking Serena lowered her head down and kissed Ash for almost a minute.
Pikchu's eyes widened as he saw this, but he didn't say anything. When Serena withdrew she noticed that she hadn't woken Ash up. Though she almost wished she had.
that concludes chapter 14. I know what a lot of you are probably thinking, he's ripping off Assassins creed. Well I sort of admit it. I did base the aura Guardians off of Assassins, the thing is before March I had heard of but never played assassin's creed . So about halfway through March when I first started making this story I decided to give them a try and I bought assassin's creed 3 and 4. I instantly fell in love with the games and their stories.
However, when I originally planned this story I already had aura guardians planned out. It's just after playing Assassin's creed I thought the aura guardians would be cooler if they were based of the assassins instead of my original idea. Also I've gotten mixed signals from you guys about the idea of charmander not listening to Ash when he evolves. Some of you think I should do it. Some of you think I shouldn't.
Luckily I think I found a compromise that will make both sides very happy. I won't tell you what it is since I don't want to spoil a lot of you have given me the."Just have Ash and Serena hook up already".Believe me, I want to have that happen and soon. The thing is , I have to go according to a plan I made or it won't work out like I want it to.
But trust me I had a planned for them to get together in the halfway point of the story ,but got so impatient with my self I rescheduled it so they got together in the 1/3 rd point of the story. But even that wasn't soon enough for me! So I promise you they will get together and soon.
Lastly if your wondering about Serena's little good night kiss to Ash. I can tell you it was not one of her daydreams :)
So as usual please review, comment, question, or suggest
