Hello again!
Sorry for the long wait, a couple of my dogs were put down last weekend and I had to take the Exit Level ELA TAKS Test.
Basically, this chapter is about Team Cipher's capture of Kyurem and how Nightshroud and Kyurem are connected.
Enjoy!
Nightshroud: The Beginning
Chapter 15
Nightshroud looked at the frozen Pyrite Town seriously. "Kyurem has arrived."
"Kyurem did this in an instant?" Michael asked.
"Kyurem is consider the most powerful Dragon-type Pokemon in the world." N said.
"In fact. Kyurem is so powerful, it can freeze an entire town in 5 minutes." Cheren said.
"It's that powerful!" Rui exclaimed.
Nightshroud nodded. "Not even Reshiram or Zekrom can defeat it individually."
"If it's that powerful, then it might be nearly impossible to defeat it." Wes said.
"Kyurem can spread massive and very powerful cold weathers." Nightshroud turned to the shivering Latis. "Look. Even Latios and Latias are freezing. And they're Dragon-types."
'Because they're part Dragon, the cold affected them more than the rest of us.' Meloetta said.
'I-it's so c-c-cold.' Latias complained.
'But we have to s-stay st-strong.' Latios said.
The group then heard a piercing roar and saw Kyurem landing on the ground. "That's Kyurem!" Nightshroud exclaimed.
"Whoa." Michael said looking at Kyurem's form. Kyurem turned to a building and fired an Ice Beam, freezing it.
Everyone was amazed and shocked. "If this keeps up, Kyurem will freeze the entire town!" Cheren said.
"And eventually, the whole Orre Region." Nightshroud said.
"Oh no!" Rui exclaimed.
"We can't let that happen!" Wes said.
"We have to do something!" Michael said.
"On it." Nightshroud ran towards Kyurem.
'Ash! What are you doing!' Pikachu exclaimed while holding for dear life on Nightshroud's shoulder. The Eon Duo and Meloetta followed suit.
"Rui. You stay here." Wes said running after Nightshroud. Michael did the same action.
"Cheren. You stay here too." N said.
Cheren nodded, getting the hint. "Right." N ran to join the rest.
"Wait!" Rui began to ran, but Cheren put his arm in front of her.
"No. You have to stay here with me. It's too dangerous."
"But-"
Cheren smiled. "Don't worry. They will be fine."
Rui took a deep breath. "Be careful." She prayed to the boys running to Kyurem.
Nightshroud, Wes, Michael and N made it to Kyurem. "That's enough Kyurem!" Nightshroud yelled. Kyurem heard the yell and turned to the boys. It fired an Ice Beam at them. They dodged it in the knick of time.
"This is no good." N said. "Yelling won't make Kyurem stop! It'll only make things worse!"
"We have to calm Kyurem down!" Wes said avoiding another Ice Beam.
An idea popped into Nightshroud's head. "I've got it!" He turned to Meloetta. "Meloetta! Can you sing to calm Kyurem down?"
'I'll try.' Meloetta began to sing hoping Kyurem will stop attacking. Kyurem turned to Meloetta. A minute has passed and Kyurem didn't throw one single attack.
"It must be working!" Michael said. He was wrong. Kyurem is preparing an Ice Beam to attack Meloetta while her eye's are closed.
Nightshroud saw this and ran to Meloetta. "Look out!" He grabbed Meloetta, interrupting the song, and ducked avoiding the Ice Beam. Kyurem fired another Ice Beam at the two, but Nightshroud jumped out of the way.
"I guess Meloetta's singing isn't enough!" N said.
Nightshroud let Meloetta go and took out a Pokeball. "Looks like we're gonna have to fight!" Suddenly, helicopter sounds were heard. They looked up and saw a few helicopters with familiar 'C's on them flying, spreading out.
"It's Team Cipher!" Wes said.
"Why are they here?" Michael asked.
"They're here to capture Kyurem!" Nightshroud answered. "If they succeed, then they will massive destruction in the entire world!"
"We have to stop them!" N said.
Nightshroud nodded. "We'll split up. Wes and Michael! You two handle Team Cipher! Me and N will handle Kyurem." Wes and Michael nodded and ran to stop Cipher. "Help out Mewtwo!" Nightshroud threw the Pokeball to let Mewtwo come out.
Mewtwo looked around to see some buildings frozen. "What happened here?"
"The town is being frozen by Kyurem!" That was when Mewtwo noticed Kyurem firing an Ice Beam on another building.
"Ah. I see. So you want us to stop Kyurem from freezing anything else?" He asked referring to himself, Latios, Latias and Meloetta.
Nightshroud noticed a Cipher helicopter on top of Kyurem. "First. Use Psychic on that helicopter and throw it to the ground." Mewtwo nodded and glowed blue and pointed its right arm on the helicopter. The helicopter was surrounded by Psychic and was thrown to the ground, smashing it to pieces. Cipher grunts come out of the rubbage and ran out of town.
Nighthshroud gave a thumbs up. "Good work." His focus was back to Kyurem. "Now for Kyurem." He and N ran to Kyurem while the Legendaries floated.
Wes just took out some grunts and kept running to one of the helicopters that just landed. He and Michael split up themselves to take care of Cipher faster.
Before Wes got to the copter, Allison jumped in front of him, making him stop running. "I know you! You're that Admin girl with Ardos!"
"The name's Allison." Allison smirked and took out a Pokeball. "And I can't let you interfere with our plans!"
Michael took out some grunts himself and continued to run to the last copter. Before he got there, Ardos appeared with two more grunts.
"Ardos!" Michael hissed.
"That's right you brat!" Ardos said. He gestured his hand to the two grunts. They got in front of their master and each took out a Pokeball. "You won't stand in my way any longer!" They threw their Pokeballs. A Nidoking came out of one while a Nidoqueen came out from the other one.
Nightshroud, N, the Latis, Mewtwo, and Meloetta are still running to Kyurem. "Latios, Luster Purge! Latias, Mist Ball! And Mewtwo, Shadow Ball!"
Latios opened its mouth and created a pink ball of energy. It then fired the energy into a massive beam at Kyurem.
Latias creates a ball of mist and fired it at Kyurem.
Mewtwo put its hands together and formed a black ball of energy. It then shot the ball at Kyurem.
The attacks hit Kyurem, damaging it. Kyurem shook it off like it was nothing. It then fired an Ice Beam.
"Latios, Protect!" Latios got in front of the group and put up a greenish-blue shield around, deflecting the attack.
"Ash! It looks like the attacks didn't damage Kyurem at all!" N shouted.
"We'll see about that!" Nightshroud shouted back. "Latios, use Giga Impact!" Latios became surrounded by an orange sphere of energy which turned purple, with orange streaks of energy spiraling around the orb and charged at Kyurem. The attack hit Kyurem, pushing it back. It then fired another Ice Beam. "Protect!" Latios put up the shield around himself, deflecting the attack. Kyurem blowed a powerful freezing cold air, more powerful than Icy Wind.
"It's Glaciate!" N said. "Kyurem's signature move!"
"Deflect it with Luster Purge!" Latios fired the massive pink energy. The attacks clashed, creating an explosion. The dust cleared to reveal both Pokemon still up. "Lets do the combo attack once more!"
"It won't do a thing." The humans and Pokemon turned to see Rick walking towards them.
"Rick." Nightshroud hissed. Rick smirked.
Rui and Cheren are in front of the colosseum watching the battles that are taking place. All the people in the colosseum were evacuated and were taken to a safe place. They were hidden so they won't go with everybody else.
Cheren saw Rick with Nightshroud and N. "This might be trouble. If Rick keeps distracting them, then Kyurem will freeze the entire town!"
"Or Team Cipher will capture it!" Rui said.
"Lets just hope that our friends will succeed!" They continued to watch.
Wes and Allison stood opposite sides of each other. Allison is holding out a Pokeball. "Go Alakazam!" She threw the ball making an Alakazam come out.
Wes also took out a Pokeball. "Go Tyranitar!" He threw the ball making Tyranitar come out.
Allison smirked. "This will be interesting. Alakazam, use Energy Ball!" Alakazam created a green ball of energy and threw it at Tyranitar.
"Hyper Beam!" Tyranitar fired the orange beam. The attacks clashed, creating an explosion. The dust cleared.
Allison still smirked. "Do you even know what you are doing? Use Energy Ball again!" Alakazam fired the attack again, this time it hit Tyranitar, making it force back.
Wes gritted his teeth. "Don't give in Tyranitar! Use Rock Slide!" Tyranitar hurled large boulders at Alakazam.
"Protect!" Alakazam put up a greenish-blue shield around itself, deflecting the attack.
'She's good.' Wes thought.
Allison chuckled. "The real fun is just beginning!"
Michael took out a Pokeball to battle the Nidoking and Nidoqueen. "Go Golduck!" He threw the ball making a Golduck come out.
"Earth Power!" Both grunts commanded together. Nidoking and Nidoqueen flashed yellow and slammed their fists into the ground, creating glowing gold cracks going to Golduck.
"Jump!" Golduck jumped in the air, avoiding the attacks. "Now use Aqua Jet!" Golduck sped to the Nidos while being surrounded by water.
"Sludge Bomb!" Nidoking and Nidoqueen fired globs of sludge at Golduck. The attacks hit, forcing the Aqua Jet to cancel.
Golduck landed on its feet. "Hydro Pump!" Golduck released a really powerful blast of water.
"Sludge Bomb!" The Nidos released the sludges again, making them clash with the Hydro Pump, creating an explosion. The dust cleared. "Again!" They are preparing to fire.
Michael smirked. "Confusion!" Golduck's eyes glowed light blue, making the Nidos glow too. It then smacked the two into each other, making them go to the ground. "Is that all you got?"
"Sorry Rick." Nightshroud said. "We have no time for you."
"We have plenty of time." Rick said smirking. Kyurem took the opportunity and flew in the sky.
N noticed this and turned to Nightshroud. "Ash!" Nightshroud turned to him. "Kyurem's getting away!"
Nightshroud saw the flying Kyurem. "Oh no it won't!" He and N tried to run to it, but a Rhyperior came out of the ground in front of them.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Rick asked walking towards them. "Don't you want to chat some more?"
"We have no time for this!" Nightshroud tried to run around the Rhyperior, but it threw a rock at him. He dodged the rock before it hit him.
"Oh yeah. I forgot to mention. If you try to run to Kyurem, Rhyperior will just throw rocks at you to keep you back."
Nightshroud gritted his teeth. "Mewtwo use Psychic to move Rhyperior!" Mewtwo lifted Rhyperior with Psychic. Suddenly, Mewtwo was struck in the back, letting Rhyperior go. Everybody except Rick and Rhyperior were shocked. "Mewtwo!" Nightshroud looked up to see Dragonite flying. "Dragonite must have used Dragon Rage."
"I think that might be the least of our problems!" N said.
"What do you mean?" N pointed to the sky behind Nightshroud. Nightshroud turned to see Kyurem freezing another building. It then froze another. "Crud. We have to get over there!"
"Not gonna happen." Rick said. "If you try to run, Rhyperior will throw rocks. If you try to attack Rhyperior, Dragonite will attack your Pokemon. Face it! I got you cornored!"
"Not exactly." Nightshroud took out two Pokeballs and threw them into the air. "Go Charizard and Staraptor!" Charizard and Staraptor came out of the Pokeballs. Nightshroud then turned to Mewtwo, Latios, Latias and Meloetta. "You guys go ahead! We'll catch up!"
"Are you sure?" Mewtwo asked.
"Just go!"
'But-' Latias began, but she was interrupted by Nightshroud.
"Don't worry about us! Just go! We'll catch up with you!" They hesitated, but nodded in agreement and began to fly towards the attacking Kyurem.
"No you don't!" Rick said. "Dragonite, use Wing Attack! Rhyperior, use Rock Throw!" Dragonite charged for the Legendaries with glowing wings. Rhyperior threw some rocks.
"Charizard, counter Dragonite with Steel Wing! Staraptor, use Close Combat to deflect the rocks!" Charizard countered Dragonite's attack with its wings turn steel. Staraptor delived some kicks to deflect the rocks. The Legendaries safely continued to Kyurem.
Kyurem froze another building and turned to freeze another one. A Shadow Ball hit Kyurem on the back before it fired another Ice Beam. It turned to see Mewtwo, Latios, Latias and Meloetta flying towards it.
"Stop this right now!" Mewtwo shouted as the Legends stopped.
'Get out of my way!' Kyurem shouted, firing an Ice Beam. They dodged before the attack hit. Kyurem fired another Ice Beam. Meloetta got in front of the rest and used Relic Song, deflecting the Ice Beam. As Meloetta sings, it changes into its Pirouette Forme. 'What!'
Mewtwo, Latios, and Latias were not surprised since they saw Nightshroud's battle with Meloetta in their Pokeballs. Meloetta charged and hit Kyurem with a barrage of punches and kicks. One last punch pushed Kyurem back.
Kyurem fired another Ice Beam. Latios got in front of Meloetta and used Protect, deflecting the attack. Kyurem prepared a Shadow Claw. Mewtwo used Psychic to hold it in place while Latios fired Luster Purge. The attack hit Kyurem, but Kyurem shook it off. Latias fired Mist Ball, but Kyurem used Shadow Claw to counter, breaking it apart.
'He just won't back down!' Latias said.
'Then we'll just have to hit harder!' Latios said.
"Charizard, use Blast Burn! Staraptor, Brave Bird!" Nightshroud ordered. Charizard released a powerful, massive stream of fire to the Dragonite in front of its face, engulfing it. Dragonite fell and hit the ground hard.
Staraptor dived down with flames surrounding it. The flames turned into a blue aura when it spreaded its wings. Staraptor hit the Rhyperior and flew back up. The dusts cleared revealing Dragonite and Rhyperior with swirls in their eyes.
"Good job guys!" Nightshroud said as he returned the two Flying-types.
"Now lets get to Kyurem fast!" N said.
Nightshroud nodded. "Right." He and N started to run.
"Wow Ash." Rick said. "I'm surprised that you want to save this town. Considering that you caused this in the first place."
Nightshroud and N stopped running and turned to him. "What do you mean?" Nightshroud angrily asked.
Wes and Allison are still battling giving attack after attack.
"Shadow Ball!" Allison ordered. Alakazam fired a black and purple ball of energy.
"Rock Slide!" Wes ordered. Tyranitar hurled large boulders. The attacks clashed, but a few rocks hit Alakazam while the rest were destroyed.
"Energy Ball!" Alakazam regained itself and prepared a ball of green energy.
"Earthquake!" Tyranitar stomped its foot to the ground, creating an earthquake. The earthquake damaged Alakazam, interrupting its concentration, making the Energy Ball disperse.
"You're not so bad yourself." Allison said. The blades on top of the helicopter began to spin. Allison turned and smiled. "Finally! Time to put the plan in action!"
"No!" Wes yelled. "Tyranitar, Hyper Beam!" Tyranitar fired the orange beam. That caught Allison by surprise when the beam hit Alakazam and rammed it into the helicopter, tipping it over. The spinning blades broke apart when they hit the ground, preventing it from flying.
"I'm impressed." Allison turned back to Wes with her arms crossed. "Your Tyranitar is pretty powerful." She turned her head. Wes followed her gaze and saw Mewtwo, Latios, Latias and Meloetta fighting with Kyurem in the air. "Looks like Ash's little Legend cronies are handling Kyurem without him. I would expect that from the darkest Trainer ever."
"How dare you to call Ash dark!" Wes angrily yelled turning his head back. "He has a heart full of light! He's not like you guys!"
"Why are you defending him?" Allison asked turning her head back. "He is just a puppet after all."
"What?" Wes hissed.
Michael just defeated Nidoking and Nidoqueen with Golduck. "What's the matter Ardos? Too afraid to fight me yourself?" Michael mocked.
The blades on the helicoper began to spin and got up in the air. "There's no need. Our plan is beginning anyway."
"We'll see about that! Golduck, Ice Beam!" Golduck fired a beam of ice from its mouth to the helicopter. The ice froze the base of the blades, making them stop spinning and the copter hit the ground. "Confusion!" Golduck used the psychic move to break the frozen base, making the blades fall. "Now you're not going anywhere!"
"You think you're so clever. You're just a boy who couldn't even control his new power." Ardos smirked. "Just like Ash and his darkness."
Michael was shocked. "How did you know about the Dark Power?"
"I have my ways. The point is, we took advantage of Ash and his uncontrolable power."
"What are you talking about?"
"We have been using Ash's Dark Power from the beginning. We knew it was the key to our victory."
"What do you mean?"
"After you used the Dark Power for the very first time, you made a connection between you and Kyurem." Rick said.
"What?" Nightshroud asked.
"Whenever you use the power, Kyurem will be under your control."
"So Ash is Kyurem's master when he was under the control of the Dark Power?" N asked.
"Yes. Sadly, Kyurem was still sealed in the Giant Chasm whenever Ash used the power before he got here. By destroying the Chasm, we broke the seal, setting Kyurem free. Before doing that, we had to find the one with the Dark Power. And we found you." Rick pointed to Nightshroud. "When we found out that you have the power, we had to wait until you came to Orre that way we can get you to use the Dark Power to lure Kyurem right into our hands. And it's working perfectly."
"So battling in the Pyrite Tournament was just a distraction so that we can fall behind!"
"Yes. When me and Ash battled in the Finals, I had to keep the battle going so Kyurem would arrive here. I thought by keep ordering Dragonite to fly away from his Charizard would frustrate Ash since he was in such a hurry and hopefully would activate the Dark Power. It worked for about a minute, it would give Kyurem some speed to get here. It would have been here faster if that announcer hadn't interrupted. Well it doesn't matter now."
N looked at Rick displeased. "So you played me." He turned to Nightshroud. "You played me like I was a some kind-of puppet."
"You are a puppet you idiot! You lured Kyurem right into our trap."
"Nobody uses me." Nighthshroud said darkly.
'Ash calm down!' Pikachu yelled. Darkness began to surround Nightshroud.
"Don't do it Ash!" N shouted. "That's just what he wants you to do!" Nightshroud gritted his teeth. Rick smirked.
"What's going on down there?" Cheren asked.
"I'm sensing some darkness from Nightshroud's and N's location." Rui said.
"It must be from Rick."
Rui shook her head. "I don't think so. This darkness is much darker than Rick's."
"Then it must be-" Cheren's eyes widened.
The darkness surrounding Nightshroud got bigger. "Ash! Snap out of it!" N shouted.
Nightshroud straightened up and yelled as the darkness exploded, pushing N and Pikachu back. His eyes then turned red.
Rick smirked bigger.
"What did you say?" Wes hissed.
"It's true." Allison said. "How do you think we know that Kyurem would arrive here?"
"You played Ash! That is despicable!"
Allison stared at something behind Wes and smirked. "Well speak of the devil." Wes turned confused and was shocked when he saw darkness in the air. "Looks like Rick got his work cut out for him."
"Ash!" Wes quickly returned Tyranitar and ran to the spot.
Allison stood there still smirking. "The trap has been set."
"So you used Ash's darkness to get Kyurem to come here!" Michael spat. "How could you?"
"We're the bad guys. Duh." Ardos answered.
Michael's Aura Reader beeped. Michael followed the reading and turned around to see darkness in the sky. "Ash! No!" He returned Golduck and ran to the dark spot.
"Go ahead. Run to your friend. It won't help."
"Ahhhhhhh!" Rui fell back sensing the darkness in the air.
Cheren caught her. "Are you alright!"
"That darkness. It's just too strong."
Cheren looked back. "Ash."
The Legendaries were battling it out. Mewtwo, Latios, Latias and Meloetta tried their best, but there was no stopping Kyurem. Kyurem prepared another Ice Beam. Before it fired the beam, its eyes glowed red. The Ice Beam dispersed. The four were confused. They turned to see the pillar of darkness in Nightshroud's direction.
'It's the Dark Power!' Latios exclaimed.
'Ash!' Latias and Meloetta exclaimed.
Suddenly, Kyurem dashed past them and is heading to the pillar.
"This is bad!" Mewtwo said.
'We have to stop him!' Latios said. They then rushed to stop Kyurem.
N and Pikachu got up and saw Nightshroud, still surrounded by darkness, still yelling. Wes and Michael arrived and helped N up.
"What happened?" Michael asked.
"Ash got angry after knowing that Team Cipher is using him to get Kyurem!" N answered.
"This is bad!" Wes said. "Ash! You need to calm down!" Suddenly, Kyurem has landed behind Nightshroud, also covered in darkness.
"It's Kyurem!" Nightshroud stopped yelling and stared at Rick.
Rick just kept smirking. "This is too perfect."
"We have to calm Ash down fast!" Too late. Nightshroud and Kyurem spreaded powerful darkness, knocking the the rest of the group, including the Legendaries, back.
"Nobody uses me like that and gets away with it!" Nightshroud said with a mixture of his own voice and a dark one. "For that, you will disappear. Disappear into the darkest abyss!" Rick showed no sense of fear. He just kept smirking.
Wes, Michael, N and Pikachu got up. "This might be troublesome." N said.
"Don't worry." Michael said. "We took care of Team Cipher's copters. So they won't capture Kyurem."
"But we still have to worry about this!" Wes said pointing to the dark spot.
N noticed something. "Something's not right."
"What do you mean?" Michael asked.
"Look at Rick. It's like he's not afraid of the power." True enough, Rick is not showing any fear.
"Yeah. You're right." Wes said. "What gives?"
"What's going on?" Nightshroud asked. "Why aren't you afraid?"
Rick chuckled evilly. "Because I win."
Nightshroud laughed evilly. "Don't be ridiculous! Didn't you see the odds against you!" Kyurem roared in agreement.
"I saw. It's just . . ." Rick's smirk became an evil smile. "you fell right into our trap!" Suddenly, four colored beams surrounded Kyurem.
"What!" Nightshroud exclaimed turning to Kyurem. The beams became orbs and they turned into a colored cage, imprisoning Kyurem. "No way!"
"What happened?" Michael asked.
N looked up at the sky and widened his eyes. "Up there!" The others looked up and saw another Cipher helicopter.
"Another helicopter!" Wes exclaimed.
"What the heck!" Michael exclaimed. "We only saw three and we took them down!"
"They obviously must have hidden that one so we couldn't expect it!" Mewtwo said.
The copter's door opened to reveal Allison and Ardos in it. "What's going on here!" Nightshroud exclaimed.
"We had this planned from the beginning." Allison said. "We knew you would split up to take us down while you were handling Kyurem. So we hid this copter high up in the sky so you couldn't see it."
"We then decided to set up this exact trap." Ardos said.
"Now that you fell for it . . ." Nightshroud turned back to Rick. "Kyurem is now ours."
"No way!" Nightshroud said.
"Way." Nightshroud was suddenly hit by the most powerful electricity he ever felt, Pikachu's second, and he screamed in pain.
"Ash, no!" The others exclaimed. They looked up to see an Magnezone releasing that attack.
"No way!" N exclaimed. "How can a Magnezone have that much power? Unless-"
"It must have been a Shadow Pokemon before and was purified by the bond it shares with Allison!" Wes said.
As soon as Magnezone finished the attack, Nightshroud passed out, returning to normal. "Good work Magnezone." Allison returned Magnezone. Rick returned his Dragonite and Rhyperior and jumped onto the copter as it got low enough. A laser then connected the cage containing Kyurem as it tries to break out. The cage was then pulled onto the helicopter. The copter then flew up.
"Ash!" The others ran/flew to Nightshroud.
'Now that Kyurem's all mine, nothing can stop me.' Ardos thought as the door closed.
"Come on Ash!" Michael said. "Wake up!" Rui and Cheren joined them.
"We saw the whole thing from the colosseum!" Cheren said kneeling.
"We should have saw that coming." N said.
"It's not any of our faults." Rui said.
'Once again, they used clever tactics.' Latios said.
"It doesn't matter right now!" Wes said. "We have to take Ash back to the house!"
"Right!" Everybody else said. Latias and Meloetta looked at the unconscious Nightshroud in worry.
And done!
Kyurem has been captured and Nightshroud got knocked out.
What will happen next?
