Heyyy everyone. You all see the new generations webisode? My FAVORITE. Thanks for the reviews TheHolyBlade and TheNightStriker. Much appreciated as always. Enjoy.
Mt. Coronet officially held the title of most annoying place ever. Mercury preferred Kalos' frigid ice caves and snow covered routes accessible only by mamoswine to this increasingly infuriating labyrinth of rock that even the zubat had a hard time navigating. The fog blinds her perception and the tired child slightly stumbles forward, her lack of appetite that resulted in her not eating anything other than the occasional energy bar catching up to her. A skittish grunt immediately unleashes his pokemon to disperse the heavy, soupy air before the angry admin unleashed her fury on them. The child only huffed and stomped past the pitiful, trembling teen deeper into the rock maze. Calamity puffs herself up as she trots beside her trainer, amused at the grunt's petrified reaction to a six-year-old that didn't even make it to their shoulder.
The platinum unlatches the flashlight from her waistband and the beam illuminates the broken mural that had previously guarded the entrance. The three guardians float at Mercury's head, eyes flitting to take in their surrounding when Uxie and Calamity yelp a the same time. The child drops to the ground and avoids the energy ball torpedoing towards her head. Calamity jumps in front of her protectively as the grass gym leader and her turtwig leave the shadows. The grass type's leaves glowing with prepared energy.
"You should turn back now Angel. I'm just the first of many."
"You make it sound like I didn't know," Mercury motions to the three guardians twirling around her body. "You know Uxie sees the future right?" The violet eyes collide with her partners and a cannon of ice propels the turtwig into the cavern wall. It falls to the ground.
"Turtwig!"
Mercury huffs and motions for one of her armada to stay behind to deal with the gym leader. A bowl headed grunt hurls out a houndour to attack the vengeful cherrim. The six-year-old fixes her glassy eyes away from the battle and continues onward.
…
Mercury knew it was going to happen. She knew, but she pretended that she didn't believe that the champion would be waiting with her elites at the end of the slew of gym leaders. The lake trio and her grunts had handled six of the remaining seven that proceeded Gardenia. Calamity still contained scuff marks from Volkner's Jolteon and Destin had to take over when Diadem had almost been taken out by a surprise Bulldoze from the electric emo's electivire.
Only one grunt remained from her original group of twelve and the admin waved him off from helping as Calamity took her position at one end of the expansive empty space separating the two blondes. "Angel." Cynthia starts.
"Cynthia." The child bows her body elegantly, a odd sort of curtsy for a child wearing shorts, and casts a glance at the Elite Four.
The three legendaries move forward when she beckons them to her and listen to her whispers. They form a triangle around the two blondes and a force field surround the battlefield. The Reflect cages in the two trainers and Mercury's eyes spark before she throws a hand out. The absol zooms across the field as a red tinted blur and, as the dragon twists to keep the quadruped in view, a Sucker Punch knocking the dragon forward.
"Dragon Claw!"
The iridescent greenish-blue light covers the claw as Garchomp propels her arm forward. Calamity, sensing the blow bursts out of the way using a Quick Attack before pivoting around ramming her glowing horn into the beast's abdomen.
Cynthia grits her teeth. Her Angel was never one to let the champion peek in on her training. Movesets were coming up blank and the duo's silent language still went untranslated. Frazzled the veteran orders her partner to Dragon Claw the opposing creature, sending the white pokemon into the barrier. Slight cracks form on the tiled walls as the absol falls to the ground, scuffed but mostly unharmed. Mercury, sighs, the Reflect barrier has succeeded.
Slightly more confident that she won't get totally plowed by the champion, the child releases a heavy sigh before nodding to her partner. The shiny pokemon, in reply, glows before ramming into the opponent, sending the garchomp flying into the cage wall. The iridescent barrier spider cracks on impact and the dragon catches itself onto the barrier behind it before launching itself at Calamity, horn adornments glowing as she envelopes herself with a Dragon Rush.
Calamity is slammed into the cavern wall, the Reflect heaving, and drops to the ground in a heap. White limbs and red paws slump together.
"Calamity!"
The platinum rushes forward to pick up the creature's head in a gentle act of affection. Her thumbs rub the sides of the battered absol before hugging the fainted pokemon around her scruff. The child's violet eyes scatter wildly in her eyes as she tries to rouse her pokemon.
"Calamity?" The violet orbs water and her voice raises an octave, "Calamity! Calamity, wake up!"
The three guardians float over to examine the pokemon. Mesprit tries to console the crying child as Azelf and Uxie examine the absol. The pink legend nudges Calamity's pokeball with her tail and the six-year-old wails louder. She turns damaged eyes onto Cynthia.
"What did you do!"
Garchomp moves forward, wanting to examine her damage and its fatality, but halts when the platinum screeches.
"Stay away from her!" The youngster tightens her grip on her partner protectively and shrinks into the wall when Cynthia moves closer to the duo. "Just stay away…" She mutters.
Slowly, the child unhooks the luxury ball from her waist. She rubs her injured pokemon one more time, grateful for the feebly rising chest that proved she wasn't dead, and the capsule absorbs the pokemon into its protective ball. A small kiss is placed on the sphere as it is reattached to her belt.
The platinum stumbles to her feet and the three lake guardians crowd around her worryingly when her knees buckle when she attempts a step forward. Cynthia's gray eyes take note of her paler than normal features and the way her Angel wavered side to side as she straightened herself.
"She's exhausted," Bertha whispers to the champion.
"Sleep deprivation or lack of nutrition, possibly both," Lucian adds as a side note.
"Angel, please talk to me." The twenty-eight year old pleads as she takes another step forward and reaches her arms out.
"The time for talking is not now. I have a promise to keep," She turns to the three psychic types,"Get me to the summit. You," Her eyes focus on the remaining grunt shivering in his boots at the mere thought of going up against any of veterans before him, "Turn back and find the others. You'll get demolished if you stay."
"Yes ma'am," He hiccups before fleeing down the tunnel.
"Angel…" Cynthia warns.
"I know you probably hate me for this, but you don't understand. I made a promise and you got in the way. Hate me if you will; it's a better feeling than betrayal." The multi-colored light circling the child covers her body as Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie prepare to teleport her away.
"Angel, don't…"
"I'm sorry," The platinum cuts off softly as the four disappear.
