Author's Notes: Finally! The battle against Gonzap! Credits to jazminewriter for ideas on this chapter! Can't wait to see how this will look on the site; I know Chapter 2 looks good! Here we go!
Chapter 3: Snagged Cipher Clean... for now.
Finally, at daybreak, two trainers stand left; Wes, hero of the region of Orre, looking to stop the merged Cipher, who re-emerged after a merger with Team Snagem. And the other was Gonzap, former leader of Snagem, who decided to merge Snagem and Cipher, in exchange for breaking Evice out of prison. The events of the past make it back to not only Wes, but Gonzap as well; for Wes, sweet victory, and for Gonzap, bitter defeat. Gonzap plans revenge against Wes, but we'll need to see whether or not Wes will succeed. Gonzap sent out his first pokemon, a mysterious pokemon which is called "Luxray" in the region it came from. The luxray looks like a feline of some sort, and it seems to be an electric-type according to the P*DA. Wes didn't have any ground-types on him, and all of his pokemon were exhausted after the last three battles. His typhlosion, Volcon, was fainted, as well as Dawn, Drago (salamence) and metagross. He must make use of the last two pokemon he has, or otherwise he loses, and Pyrite will still be in Cipher's hands, and that means the blood of all the citizens of Pyrite will soak on Wes' hands. All he has left is his absol and the lucario that he received after defeating Evice and served peace and justice to the region of Orre. He has to go for lucario; it's his only chance so far. Wes grabbed the pokeball and threw it to the battlefield; the capsule exploded with white light as it opened, releasing the almost 4 foot tall jackal on the battlefield. It was do or die, starting now.
Gonzap made his first move,
"Luxray, use Howl!" The feline howled very loudly, raising its attack stat. Wes had to think carefully on the choice of move, otherwise he's screwed. Wes ordered lucario to use Bulk Up. Lucario concentrated, as the muscles in its body bulked up a lot, raising its attack and defense stats. Gonzap thought very carefully on this next move.
"Alright luxray, use Thunder Fang!" The lion's teeth suddenly filled with electricity as it charged forward. The cat jumped towards the buff jackal, roaring with such ferocity before biting its neck. The electricity surged right through lucario, but it did only a little damage thanks to the effects of Bulk Up. What's left is only a bite mark, with blood dripping from them. Wes finally ordered the attack "Bone Rush" against the big cat. Bone Rush, being a Ground-type move, will deal a lot of damage against luxray and other Electric-types. The jackal concentrated, and formed a bone out of pure aura, gripping it with its huge paws. Charging forward at full speed, the jackal hits the luxray once, twice, three times, and four times before being knocked back pitifully by the lion. Bones were fractured, gashes made, and hardly-noticeable black eyes were inflicted on luxray, and the lion staggered and fell on its legs, unable to muster any strength to fight, let alone stand, as lucario made the bone dissolve in thin air. Luxray was defeated. Gonzap pulled out its pokeball, and said,
"Luxray, return." The ball opened, as a beam of red made contact with the bruised lion, and sucked it back in. Who knows what might happen to the poor pokemon once they get back. Maybe getting permanently boxed away in Gonzap's PC account. Gonzap sends out his next pokemon,
"Flareon, I choose you!" He threw another pokeball, and it exploded with blue energy as it opened, and out came the fiery fox, flareon. Wes' P*DA reacted to the sight of the fox, and showed him it was the aura of shadows; it's heart is closed. To put bluntly, that's a Shadow flareon. Wes is going to have a challenge ahead of him. Definitely. Wes ordered the first move, lucario's signature move, "Aura Sphere". Lucario focused a glowing ball of aura between its two paws, until it got to a size big enough to throw at flareon. The jackal fired the ball at high speed.
"Flareon, jump and dodge!" Gonzap ordered. The fox obeyed, but lucario quickly caught control of the ball, and started redirecting it towards the flareon.
"Flareon, keep trying to dodge it as best you can!" he ordered. The fox landed on the ground, and started running very fast to lose the incoming ball, even going so far as to jump through the stands, and running across the stadium. Wes' plan is to keep Flareon running enough so that it can't keep up running. About 2 minutes passed, and the fox looked exhausted, and tripped and fell over. The ball quickly closed in on the fox, and impacted with such force, that it took one hit to have it stunned. Wes pulled out a pokeball, and with the throw from his hand, the ball made contact, and energy exploded as the flareon was sucked into the red and white capsule. The ball landed, as Wes, his lucario, and Gonzap looked eagerly; if Wes succeeds, Pyrite Town will be saved, and Cipher will have to evacuate. But if Wes fails, he still has to snag it. The ball shook once... twice... three times... CLICK! Flareon was successfully snagged out of Gonzap's possession! Gonzap, clearly scootrified, runs over to the ball to try and take it, but the ball quickly disappears into Wes' PC account. While Wes returns his lucario and congratulates it, Gonzap falls to the ground on his knees, cursing loudly and making big holes in the ground with his fists, like any big, blubbering baby would. Gonzap, unbeknownst to Wes, had remembered a plan he hatched all along, so he gets up, feigning submission, pulling out 4,500 Pokedollars. Wes reached out to Gonzap to take the money; as soon as Wes made contact with the money, Gonzap grabbed his arm with his other hand, and yelled,
"NOW!" The grunts remembered their signal, and pulled out guns on all the townsfolk. Wes was fooled so badly that he puts a certain cat from a cartoon he saw to shame.
Gonzap grabbed Wes by the hair, forcing him on his knees, looking at the poor townsfolk, and said,
"Don't try any funny business, Wes! Make one false move and Pyrite Town's dead! Either you surrender and we take you and Pyrite away, or we kill the townspeople and take you away. Or we could just kill you all together." Gonzap negotiated. Now Wes is in a dire situation the likes of which he hasn't faced before! He either must let all of Pyrite be killed and taken over by Cipher, or surrender himself and be taken away with the rest of the town. Either way, the blood will shed on Wes' hands. He had to do what's best for the people, and try to prolong the suffering for as long as possible. Wes hung his head low, and gave into submission.
"Excellent! Grunts, ho!" The grunts forced the citizens to get up and go to the hover car that was parked outside all along. They were all forced inside, one by one, but Wes was saved a spot in the front, while two grunts sat in the back with Pyrite's citizens. The hover car started and took off. Wes was clearly doomed.
Well. That was certainly a long chapter to write! And it certainly turned out great! Once again, credits to jazminewriter for pitching some ideas! Go check her out, as she's working on a Colosseum story herself! Remember to rate and review, and be sure to follow me!
