Spells and Louds
Chapter 232: Early normal March
(Ketcham Park)
Just another typical day in Ketcham Park, if you count a Pokemon battle to be normal.
This Pokemon clash is between Leni's Roselia and Linka's Arcanine vs Lucy's Crobat and Lana's Toxicroak.
Both sides are doing quite well, balancing between offensive and defensive strategies and tag teaming together to see how they can mix their abilities.
Combining leaf storm and amber. Wind gust and mud shot. Flame thrower and solar beam. Hyper beam and focus blast.
Both sides barely did any damage to each other, they were able to tactically call out evasive moves to their Pokemon partners, almost as if all of their dimensional conflicts have given some experience to our heroes.
The people who are watching them are of course, Lucy's mortician's club friends, Lynn and her team, Lincoln's pals, Jordan's gal pals, Jackie and Mandee.
Lynn cheers her sisters on. "Come on guys! You got this!" even her Pokemon Tyrogue is helping cheer them on.
Lucy's Goth friends aren't really cheering her on, they're just cheering from within. I think. But the boy Lucy has a crush on, Rocky has a Pokemon of his own, a Noibat.
Jackie and Mandee are also cheering their friend on, while also thinking of what kind of outfit Leni could wear to match that of her Pokemon.
Same goes with Lincoln and Jordan's friends cheering on for Linka.
The battle turns south real fast when Toxicroak tries to go for a poison jab, but only to miss when Arcanine dodges.
Roselia unleashes some razor leaf attacks, but Crobat use aerial ace and almost strikes down Roselia, but instead gets hit by Arcanine's scratch.
Crobat soon regains his posture and sends out a sonic wave, this puts Roselia and Arcanine in a stunned and confused position.
Toxicroak sees this and charges forward with a poison jab, but then Roselia manages to send out vine whip out of the ground and send Toxicroak hurdling towards Crobat.
Then Roselia unleashes a solar beam, combo with Arcanine's flame charge.
They hit their rivals, but they're unfazed.
All of a sudden Roselia starts to glow.
"It can't be!" said Linka.
"Oh boy" said Lana.
"This is bad" said Lucy.
"No way!" said Jackie and Mandee.
The others gasp and look in awe. Leni knew what this meant.
The light soon diminishes and it reveals that Roselia is now a Roserade.
Leni smiles and gives some commands to Roserade.
The third evolution Pokemon sends out an even stronger razor leaf followed by a bramble of Vine whips, then Arcanine seizes this moment and sends out a flamethrower and is soon followed by a Solar beam and a big one too.
The smoke clears and they can clearly see that Crobat and Toxicroak can no longer fight, which meant Linka and Leni wins.
They all cheer, Lucy and Lana congratulate them.
"Now that was intense" said Lucy.
"At first I thought we were going to end up in some kind of stalemate" said Lana. "Also, Roserade looks kinda cool."
Leni looks to Roserade and hugs her, Jackie and Mandee then go to Leni and talk to her about an idea on some kind of spring outfit and Roserade gave them an inspiration.
"So, you mean to say I should come up with some kind of fashion line for spring, and that it would have some comparison with grass type Pokemon?" asked Leni.
"Exactly! This could be huge!" said Jackie.
"And maybe your boss can have them shown at Reiningers!" said Mandee.
Linka with Arcanine approaches them. "I think it sounds like a good idea sis."
Leni smiles. "Okay then, but I'm gonna have to do it after my date with Loni."
"It's cool girl, we like totally understand" said Mandee.
"When is your date anyway?" asked Jackie.
"March 7 this Saturday. We're going out for dinner" said Leni.
"But that's right after dad's birthday" said Linka.
"I know, we wanna start at a point where we can interact after we make our dad feel better for another year of being around" said Leni.
"That sounded so sweet of you Leni" said Jackie.
Lynn Jr was ready to send her Pokemon for their first fight, and their opponent will be Molly and her partner Purloin.
(FutureTech HQ)
Martin is going through the multiverse map, and going through all the realms they have been through, and with him is Penny.
In the middle is there universe and it has web like links to the other universes they have encountered, all of them form a scattered spiders web, also known as the multiverse web.
From Marvelverses, Azeroth, Koprulu, Overwatch, Sanctuary, Rune Terra and the other worlds of their closest allies, and of course the one universe that is glowing the most, the Nexus.
"So, there are still some other dimensions that are cut off from us, or in short terms realms we haven't been to" said Martin.
"It does look like it" said Penny.
They both can see the different dimensions that are linked with theirs. But they could see some dark circles that have glitched streams linked to their great gate realms.
"It's only a matter of time before we encounter these other realms, and whatever threats might lie within" said Martin.
Penny does notice something very odd. "Martin, what is that?"
Martin looks to what she is pointing. It looked like a voided sector, or web link.
Martin gets to his controls and tries to figure out what they're looking at, and it reveals to be another multiverse web.
"What in the hell is that?" asked Martin.
"It looks like a multiverse web, kinda like ours" said Penny.
They couldn't see the names of the universes that are linked to one another, but they do see the central point of the links.
It also did not show the name of what realm is was, but it had this triangular shape.
"This doesn't look so good" said Penny.
"Chances the Guardian might know about this, but he might keep it a secret and wait for us to meet this new multiverse web" said Martin.
"I am truly confused though, these worlds are all linked to this central realm. Could they wield a dimensional system that allows them to travel to the different realms" said Penny.
"I do not know Penny, but they might have something they can use to travel. And we do not know what kind of heroes and villains they have there. This could be one hell of a mission for all of us" said Martin.
"The guardian is here, but what is his business anyway?" asked Penny.
"No clue, but he was called by Neil to check on something. Victor and Jack Cyber also came with them. Normally I would go and see what they're up to, but I decided to just let them be with whatever business they're doing" replied Martin.
Penny then looks to the two multiverse webs. "Well, I guess we should close this. For now."
"I couldn't agree more" Martin turns off the map and then they open the file of remnant. "So, Atlas isn't going well."
"Yes, we sent some burst drones to scout the city. They have Ace special ops team to act as protectors, General Ironwood seems to be on edge and the embargo doesn't seem good for most of the citizens there, and I'm sure Jacque Schnee is taking this personal" replied Penny.
"And what of your huntsman and huntress friends?" asked Martin.
"We saw some footage of them trying to fight Tirion Gallows, he is a murderer who was wanted from Atlas, supposedly he was reported dead" said Penny.
"So, Salem has recruited some heinous allies to be her minions" said Martin,
"We believe so, just like Cinder, Emerald, Mercury and Adam. Also the Whitefang is in a sort of outrage for Adam's actions, but there was no other news afterwards, as if something bad must've happened to them" said Penny.
Martin sighs and looks to Mistral. "They're going to head to that place, and chances they will meet trouble. I hope they do get the relic of the spring maiden and keep it safe, if something does go wrong then we will deploy some forces to act as assistance."
"We still have our outposts near beacon. Should trouble stir for Ruby and the others, then we will send out both aerial and ground reinforcements. Also, Yang Xiao Long is still struggling with her new mechanical right arm, Weiss is held up in her home and I think she's trying to escape and Blake is trying to rally the Faunus at Menagerie to stop the corrupted White fang from committing any more despicable acts, alongside the support of her family and Sun" replied Penny.
"Hang on a minute. That monkey kid is there with Black Belladonna?" asked Martin.
"Yup, he seems to be trying to get Blake's fathers acceptance, but it isn't working. Honestly, I do not see Black and Sun being a thing, Blake might have some feelings for someone who shares her defiance against Adam" said Penny.
"You mean Yang. Yeah, they both have had it rough with that rogue Faunus. I'm sure Gyro or Pyrrha will figure something out" said Martin.
"And now comes to some more pressing matters, Grimm are starting to pop up in different locations throughout the areas of both Mistral and Mantle. Almost as if they are trying to look for something" said
Penny.
This did sound like something bad. Martin needed to make a decision and fast. "Penny, I want you to go back to Remnant, take some MCV's and Crawler Command HQ's and set up some forward outposts outside the sights of Mistral, do not let anyone see these bases. We need to keep Mistral secured so Ruby and the others can get to the relic."
"That does sound like a plan, but what of Mantle and Raven Branwen has her band of bandits on the forests almost nearing Mistral" said Penny.
"I'm sure general Ironwood has the entire city under heavy guard, we cannot let any of our forces near there until we can see it okay for the job. Until then we stay on guard at Mistral until Ruby and her friends get the relic, also Raven Branwen and her bandits do not pose a threat to us, let Gyro deal with her once we've settled down our base defenses" said Martin.
Penny nods. "You can count on me Martin." She then takes off through the window and heads for the great gate with the orders from Martin.
Martin looks back to the screen and sees the picture of the high leader of the White fang, Sienna Khan. "We gotta find a way to bring unity between the humans and Faunus, but how?"
(Somewhere ten miles away from Spellman Estate)
A large mansion like structure surrounded by the forest and massive admantium forged brick walls, and is done with construction.
Neil is looking through the entire mansion. "Now this is almost looking quite done, we did good."
Boomer comes out from the balcony and then lands onto the ground. "The rest of the plumbing to this place is in working order, the guys who did all of that did their job quite well."
Then a Raven flies out from the backdoor and morphs into Gyro. "The entire house is now rigged with powerful magical barriers and the lesser Gate is now built outside of the walls and is kept secured within the forest, surrounded by a herd of Torterra and a band of Primeape's."
They then take one good look at the mansion.
"Once Sergei and Loona come home tomorrow, this'll be the biggest gift ever" said Neil.
"And all three of us pitched in, so it's also mine and Boomer's gift to them as well" said Gyro.
"And let's not forget, Leon agreed to celebrate his birthday early with Sergei's so in hindsight this is also Leon's gift as well" said Boomer.
"True, and to think come tomorrow Sergei is going to be twenty five and since we're celebrating Leon's birthday early tomorrow as well, he is gonna be twenty three" said Neil.
"And then there's you Spellman, the man who take things to an unlimited army level. You are going to become twenty four come March six" said Gyro.
"That is true and I know my family are gonna be planning on something for me, it's becoming normal with all of us making these surprise birthday parties" said Neil. "By the way, how is Leon doing right now?"
"He's back at the Super Kirov Airship, packing some of his stuff and Sergei and Loona's things. Dana is helping him out. He didn't question me why he's doing this, but I think he might have figured things out by now" said Boomer.
They then walk towards the main gate of the area. "You think he suspects about this?" asked Gyro.
"Hard to say, Leon can be very skeptic when it comes to things going on. And his Aswang powers gives him the advantage to sense unpleasant things, most of the times" said Neil.
"I got a bad feeling he knows about this" said Boomer.
"We'll get to that fact when we get there" said Gyro.
"So, how goes the battle against N'Zoth?" asked Neil.
"We have taken down the outer defenses outside of Nyalotha. The Alliance and Horde are now establishing base camps around the horrific land, they will call upon my aid when the time is right. Also I think the night elves of Ashenvale are seeking revenge against the Horde member who escaped. The hunt for Sylvannas Windrunner is on" said Gyro.
"I'm gonna guess Warden Maiev is on the hunt for that traitorous banshee" said Neil.
"She is, she's sent many of her watchers to scour the locations Windrunner might be hiding, the Blood Elves are doubling their defenses at Silvermoon City should she arrive with her banshee's, same goes with Orgrimmar and the other Horde member encampments. Archlich Kel'Thuzad is also going to be sending reports to Maiev, but I think the Warden will head to Northrend, there have been reports of Sylvannas's Banshee's going about within the ice northern lands" said Gyro.
"And how is Tyrande and Malfurion?" asked Boomer.
"Both of them have set up heavy defenses around Hyjal summit, ever since the fall of Teldrassil. All of the Night elves are moving all of their defenses to the world tree, they are not letting her take it down, she did try it once when she commanded the horde, now she has no horde which make her more dangerous" said Gyro. "Also, Tyrande is providing her sentinels to aid in the hunt, none of the Night Elves have been deployed for the battle of N'Zoth, and all of them are too focused on keeping the world tree safe."
Neil sighs. "I sure wish Deathwing could join them, but I know he cannot be sent back to Azeroth. Still I am glad his grandson has sided with the alliance."
"Yeah, I still hate Wrathion, no offense. He just really brings the evil dragon vibe when he smirks and laugh, it's unnerving" said Gyro.
"You'll get used to him, he's not a bad guy" said Boomer.
"So, what is going on with the rest of your family? Do they have a plan for Sergei and Loona's return here?" asked Gyro.
"We do. First we're gonna pick them up at the airport, then we're gonna celebrate at a restaurant, and then we'll be headed back home. But we're not gonna head back to Spellman estate or the Super Kirov. We're gonna pass by our place and then come here, and that's when the big surprise is revealed!" said Neil.
"We also put Leon Tiger Tank and Sergei's car here. And once Leon is busy with helping pick up Sergei and Loona at the airport, we're gonna send their stuff all here to the mansion" said Boomer.
"It's full proof!" said Neil.
Gyro chuckles. "Wow! And I thought you planning on some kind of explosive prank on Minecraft was crazy enough, this just makes things ten times better."
Then something goes into Neil's thoughts. "Gyro, what is the condition of Remnant?"
Gyro sighs. "Not quite sure, but I do know is that Salem is planning to send her forces to Mistral. But I know Martin is planning something to keep her Grimm at bay, I can't say much about the defenses of Mantle, not until Ruby and her allies get there."
"What about the Faunus faction?" asked Boomer. "Clearly they're leader is pissed off at Adams actions towards Beacon."
"I'm sure she is, but I have this bad feeling that something bad is going to happen to her" said Gyro.
"Whatever it is, then you have to be prepared. I also have this strange feeling about something bad happening to the Faunus" said Neil. "And the White fang."
"Speaking of strange feelings, we should get something to eat. I am starving" said Boomer.
"Alright then, let's go and get some pizza!" said Neil.
"Yeah!"
"By the way, where the heck is Victor and Jack Cyber?" asked Neil.
"They're still inside, they said they'll be out once they have the building electric power source finished" said Boomer.
"Then we better get some pizza for them as well" said Gyro.
"I can't wait to see the looks on Sergei, Loona and Leon's faces when they see this house we made for them!" said Neil.
"Same here man" said Boomer.
"This will be one big change for them" said Gyro.
(Super Kirov Airship)
Leon and Dana have finished packing all of the things that belong to Leon, Sergei and Loona.
Both of them are on the balcony looking at the mansion with binoculars.
"So, this is the big gift for you and Sergei huh?" said Dana.
"Yup, but I'm also sure this is an early gift for Loona as well" said Leon.
"A place for all three of you to stay. Nice" said Dana.
Leon looks to her with a loving gaze. "You can stay with us if you want. Once you're going to college that is."
Dana also looks to him lovingly. "You know what? That doesn't sound so bad." They then proceed to make out.
To be continued …..
A/N: Come tomorrow will be the big reveal of the home/gift for Leon, Sergei and Loona. And I have an idea of what might happen at Remnant, I am making them follow the near end of Season 4 and close to season 5. Also, have you guys figured out what this other Multiverse web is? Hint: Part-Time hero. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
