Pokemon Virus Version Chapter 5: There's Always A Way
Chapel's POV
"The memories and experiences on his journey will replenish the void I created within his heart," I said.
"Which is why we will momentarily cease fire on Operation Chapel," a voice said.
I turned toward the direction the voice was coming from,onlyto see that a familiar face had caught my eyes.
Wes' POV
She looked at had short, dirty blonde hair and wore a red bow as an accessory. She had on a red Pokemon Ranger jacket with black gloves on. She wore black short shorts with some red high top shoes and black knee high socks. And of course, Chimecho and Missingno accompanied her.
"Seth has come in contact with Missingno. So, if Seth becomes of equal or more importance to Team Neo Snagem, we will have no further use for you," I said.
Chapel grinned.
"Remember what you told me when I was a little girl," Chapel asked.
I didn't reply.
"Alot has changed in five years, but what hasn't changed is my promise to avenge my mother," Chapel said.
"If avenging your mother was your primary focus, you would've never spent these last five years training as a pokemon ranger," I said calmly with a smile.
"What did you say," Missingno said getting angry.
"Calm down, he's only trying to turn your mind against you," Chapel said to Missingno. " Why are you here?" she asked me.
"Just in case my hypothesis on Seth is incorrect, you will have to be aware of your special power, but in time," I said.
"Chime," Chimecho cried confused.
"Special power?" Chapel said confused.
"The power to sense shadow pokemon, like Rui," I said.
Where is Rui?" Chapel asked me.
"You'll find out in time," I said.
"How will I be able to use my power?" Chapel asked.
I walked up to Chapel and touched her on her cheek, letting her know I mean no harm. I then replied.
"We're gonna go on a little afventure, whether you like it or not," I said.
"Don't touch me," Chapel yelled as she pulled away from me.
"Why should we trust you?" Missingno asked.
"Because summoning countless Neo Snagem grunt will be otherwise. So we can do this the easy way or the hard way," I replied asserting what will happen if Chapel declines.
Location: Unown Ruins
We've been walking southeast out of Violet City's city limits. We then stopped in front of a building.
"So, why are we here," Chapel asked.
"The Unown will spell out where wild shadow pokemon roam. As time passes, more and more pokemon are being possessed by the shadows, which we believe to be the true power of the Unown:their true Hidden Power," Wes explained.
"And why do you need me," Chapel asked.
"Because our other theory is Missingno was turning the hearts of pokemon into shadows," I said.
"But I've been with Missingno for years, and shadow pokemon have only begun to surface recently," Chapel replied.
"That left a question mark to my theory, which links to the fact that yourself and Missingno were recently in contact with Seth's heart," I said.
"The shadows are also refilling his heart-a thirst for vengeance," Chapel said.
"We've wasted enough time talking, let's enter the building.
Chapel's POV
When I entered the building, Missingno, Chimecho and I were shocked at the piles of papers and stone tablets with Unown letters cluttered throughout the room.
I then lay eyes on a fairly older looking man in a white lab man had a shaven head too. A Metagross was by his side trying to decipher the Unown letters written on a stone tablet.
"Meta," Metagross cried in a dissapointed tone.
"You useless thing you!" The mand yelled. "So not even the 'super computer' pokemon could decipher the letters."
" Enough, Zeno! Yelling at the pokemon won't change the fact that you couldn't get the job done," Wes yelled.
"But-," Zeno started.
"No Buts! You're fired! You a relieved of Metagross effective immediately," Wes yelled.
I had never seen Wes with such an aggressive tone. Well, at least not in front of Rui. I then began to get lost in thought over why Wes would not tell me where Rui was. Wes is so covert. He never tells me enough of answers to my questions. Why won't he tell me about what has changed in five years, or why is he associated with Team Neo Snagem. And why would he just turn to murder despite being praised as a hero in a far away land, I was then pulled out of my thoughts.
"Yeah, well who's gonna make me hand over Metagross," Zeno said provoking Wes.
"Hmph. Go," Wes said as he threw two pokeballs.
Umbreon and Espeon had both emerged from their pokeballs ready to attack Zeno.
"Espeon, use Psychic on Metagross' pokeball," Wes said.
Espeon used it's psychic power to guide Metagross' pokeball into Wes' hand.
"Hey! give it back," Zeno yelled as he started toward the pokeball.
"Umbreon," Wes said.
Umbreon nodded like it knew what to do and tackled Zeno as Wes got a hold of Metagross' pokeball. Zeno was knocked on the ground.
"Meta," Metagross cried as it, Wes, Umbreon, and Espeon proceeded to take a battle stance against Zeno.
"Leave, now. Or die," Wes said with mercy.
Zeno then panicked out of the building.
Wes recalled Umbreon, Espeon, and Metagross.
"Metagross, is mine," Wes said calmy.
Wes has changed. He is more assertive and upfront than he used to be. But he allowed Zeno to live, something he didn't do for my mother. He also gives people a chance to decide their own fate. I then, for some reason, remember Zero sparing my life on the island with Stark Mountain. Strangely, I don't remember ever going to Stark Mountain. My heart was just filled with Seth's memories.
It was silent for a moment. Wes then spoke.
" Now to fulfill the purpose of bringing you here Chapel," Wes said.
I followed Wes further inside the building. We had reached a dead end. Just a wall at the end of the last room.
"There's nothing here," Missingno said.
"Wes, what's in here," I asked.
I though Wes would continue his routine of refusing to directly answer my question, but I was wrong as he brought Metagross back out.
"Metagross, use Meteor Mash on the wall," Wes said.
The wall had collapsed. As soon as the smoke cleared, Wes spoke.
"Is this, what Team Neo Snagem has been hiding, answer your question," Wes replied.
I then looked through the hole Metagross had created.
"Woah..." I said.
There was a chamber of Unown. The Unown were countless. They were floating and singing in unison.
"Chime Chime," Chimecho cried as it tried to sing with the Unown.
"What is this place," Missingno asked.
"Follow me and you'll see we've solved what appears to be a stone puzzle," Wes said.
I got a glimpse of the puzzle. I was shocked at what I saw. The legendary pokemon Ho-oh was the picture in the stone puzzle.
"I believe that by solving this puzzle of Ho-oh, the Unown would reveal of either it or the Rainbow Wing," Wes explained.
"But why would you want Ho-oh," I asked.
" To help us destroy the shadow pokemon.
Missingno, Chimecho, and I were speechless. I couldn't reply.
"So you need my special power to kill innocent pokemon," I asked as I grew angry.
"I've already saved the world from Snagem and shadow pokemon before, the problem is we also need for the Unown to reveal the purifier, Celebi's location. So if Celebi doesn't exist here in Jhoto, I will either have to resort to Operation Rainbow Wing, or resume Operation Chapel," Wes explained.
"What if I find Celebi?" I asked. " I'll travel the Jhoto region. I'm a Pokemon Ranger, and I can enlist the help of both normal and shadow pokemon."
"The problem is I'm not the leader of Team Neo Snagem, so I don't call the shots. But the leader, I predict, is on his way here to observe the Unown," Wes said.
I then heard the front door open. Wes looked like he knew what to expect. I looked in the front room and saw Zero walk in with Charizard and plenty of Team Neo Snagem grunts.
"N.S.2 to N.S.1, we're here father," Zero said to his communicator.
"Father..." I said
"Stepfather..." I added.
Stepfather...wah at Stark Mountain...capturing Heatran to build the Team Neosnagem organization around, and to show people that his thirst for power is real. Stepfather is the leader of Team Neo Snagem.
"Chapel-Seth," Zero said.
"You spared my life...twice," I said."But you left me alone."
"Atticus, Zeno couldn't decipher the Unown letters either," Wes said.
"Atticus..." I said to myself as I got angry.
I knew Atticus was the name of my stepfather. I also knew that he was a tyrant, and he still is. He killed Mother, which is why I don't refer to him as Atticus, or even my father.
"Do what you can, Wes and Zero. This is Atticus N.S.1 Commander signing off," Atticus said as communication was broken.
" Hey, it's the girl wanted for Operation Chapel!" a grunt yelled as all the grunts stormed toward me to capture me.
I flinched. I was now what I hate- 'helpless'.
"Stop," Wes commanded.
"Huh," I said.
"What," Missingno said.
"Operation Chapel has benn voided for the time being. Cease fire," Zero said.
The grunts then stopped and calmed down.
"Clear the path, grunts," Wes said."Chapel, follow me."
I followed Wes for about two hours back into Violet City. I then realized that if I want to save the world from Team Neo Snagem and the shadow pokemon, I was going to have to embark on a journey in search of Celebi. We then stopped in front of a pokemon center.
"This is where we part ways," Wes said.
"It won't be the last time we meet, will it?" Missingno asked.
"Not nearly," Wes replied.
"Good, because when I get stronger, I'm going to kill you," I said as if those words were normal.
"Hmph," Wes said as he started walking away.
I then walked into the pokemon center and sat at a table by a window.
"Can we really find Celebi," Missingno asked.
I looked out the window and simply said
"There's always a way."
