15 days until extermination day

"WHY WOULD SHE DO THIS!?" Nathan yelled, shocked that Charlie, the one person who helped him the most, the one who showed the most promise as a trainer, turned out to be Yveltal's kidnapper. "I mean is it something I said, or was it about me not fully being involved in her dream?" He ranted while the others were surprised. "I mean I get she's upset about it but didn't think she'd go so far as to team up with a terrorist organization and dabbling into abducting legendaries!"

"Whoa slow down, to be honest we're surprised by this as much as you are!" Husk replied as he gestured to everyone except Charlie and Vaggie. "Well, except me." Angel added, catching everyone else's attention. "What? Someone that happy's bound to snap at some point!" "But still, she has plenty of good reasons why she did this." Nathan said, trying to reassure himself. "Do what?" Nathan immediately flinched upon hearing Charlie's voice. "Reasons to do drinking, how much should one flap their arms around much?" Nathan lied hastily. "Not a lot." Charlie answered before walking away.

Once she was totally out of sight, Nathan sighed in relief. "That was a close one, but still how are we supposed to stop Charlie and get Yveltal back?" "I believe I have an idea." Alastor said as he stepped forward with something in his hand. "Every year mr. Morningstar has the overlords of hell gather for a little gala, think of it as a new year's celebration." Alastor then handed Nathan his invitation. "You accompany me as a plus one, you find Charlie and you grab her and leave!" "Are you saying that I should kidnap her!?" Nathan yelled. "No I was suggesting that you kidnap her, bring her to the hotel and torture her…." "That's even worse!" "Do you have any other options?" The radio demon replied smugly. Nathan then face palmed before dragging it. "Ugh… I know I'm gonna hate this…."

Elsewhere in hell however, near an alley some demons were throwing away a half eaten burger, but it was snatched away by a gloved hand. From that alley was none other than Lysandre and Dr Xeosect. He took a bite from the burger before spitting it out. "Ugh… undercooked…." Lysandre groaned. "It's been two weeks since our plans went down the toilet, and all because of that bastard Nathan!" He said laying down in disgust. "If only there was a chance to exterminate that mother…" "Sir! We may have a chance!" Xeosect said as his dragalge carried a flier in its fin before passing it to the Team Flare leader. "A before-extermination gala?" He asked. "What does this have to do with Nathan?" "It states that the overlords and the princess are invited with a plus one of their choosing! No doubt that Nathan will be the princess' plus one!" Xeosect explained. "Giving us the chance to get back at that miserable pr!(k!" Lysandre finished. "Finally! You aren't useless for once!"

Back at the hotel, Nathan packed his bag for his little 'arraignment' with Charlie. "Mind if I borrow your rope angel?" He asked. "Sure, just make sure you give it back when you're done, I need it for work tomorrow!" Angel replied. "Speaking of 'work' don't you worry that Val's gonna use you as a plus one?" "Funnily enough, ever since that little incident at the tower, he's been avoiding me like an std!" "Well that's good to know!" Nathan replied as he stuffed the rope in. "You want in on this husk? You know, since you were an overlord yourself once?" "Sorry kid, but this ball requires CURRENT overlords, and that does not involve me." Husk replied as he poured another glass. "But save some photos of it if you'd like."

Later that night, the two were escorted to a large building where various overlords such as Carmila carmine, Zestial, Rosie and the Vees were escorted inside, all the while being viewed by the press. "Mr Valentino, where's Angel dust tonight?" One asked, Val simply glanced at the reporter before turning away. "He won't be taking any questions tonight." Vox answered. "Now scram." Once the Vees entered the building, a demonic limo drove up and from it came Charlie and her Chandalure. "Well, let's get this out of the way." She said to herself before looking at her Pokémon. "And don't worry, I'll make sure there's plenty of treats for you!" She giggled as the Chandalure shook its arms with glee. "Lure lure lure!"

Once they were inside, Alastor and Nathan arrived and terrified everyone around them. "Let's make this quick. I don't want to be here for too long." Nathan whispered. "Don't worry you'll be in and out in no time flat!" Alastor replied casually.

Inside they were met with various overlords some of whom had showcased their Pokémon. "So Nathan sent me this Pokémon when it was a beldum, and I've trained it to be a mighty warrior, even causing it to evolve." Carmila explained her evolved metang, a ufo-like Pokémon with two three-prolonged claws and a spike-like nose, to Zestial and velvette. "Oh come on! Does the elderly b!(h here gets one of those poke whatever's but the three of us get jack s#!t!" Velvette complained. "Perhaps if thou improved thy manners, thou would reap greater rewards in return." Zestial replied. Velvette simply groaned before stomping off.

Nathan looked around, seeing the other overlords speaking amongst themselves, pulling on his collar to get some air, while Alastor simply stepped forward to mingle with his fellow overlords. He then walked around, saying hi to some of the overlords, and sent out his Greninja, tyrantrum, Noivern, and aegislash. "Alright, everyone span out and see if we can find any info on where Charlie is." He said as the Pokémon spread out.

The Pokémon interaction with the guests was… rather limited due to most of them being scared off by the overlords, but the other Pokémon however were conversing but had limited Info.

Once they reunited with their trainer, they shared what was given. "Well at least we tried." Nathan said before Night Tide freaked out and pointed behind him. "What? What is it buddy?" He asked as the Agislash hid behind her shield. Nathan turned around to see Charlie standing there in a beautiful black and red dress with an eye in the center. "Nathan?" "UH CHARLIE!" He replied nervously. "Nice to see you here…!" "I see you are here too!" Charlie replied. "Chandelure lure!" Phantom flare replied. "Aegislash, aegi…." Shadowsaber said, frightened. "Uh… are your Pokémon ok?" Charlie asked. "Oh, why do you ask?" "Because your tyrantrum currency is ramming its head through a punch bowl." "Wait what!?" Nathan turned around to see exactly that. "Titanasur, get out of there!" He yelled as the fossil Pokémon was pulled by his tail. "No bad! Bad tyrantrum!" He scolded as the Pokémon scoffed. "Don't you backsass me Mr!" "Tyrantrum!" Titanasur yelled, slamming his foot down. "Ah! Oh that's it mr! Get back in your ball!" Nathan yelled, before returning Titanasur back.

"Ugh, can you believe that? He called me the B word!" Nathan yelled, stomping back to her friend. "Well, I can see that." Charlie replied awkwardly. "Well, sorry I didn't tell you about this earlier, I just didn't want you to come to this ridiculous, overlord parsing bash, it's things like these that make me dislike the idea of overlords." "Isn't Alastor one?" Nathan asked. "Sure but he's defending the hotel and he's shown that under all the fear and violent stuff he does he's a caring person, even if he…" Charlie held her tongue, making Nathan concerned, did something happen between her and Alastor? "But overlords can be vicious and cruel, you know how they get their power? From the souls they collect. The more souls an overlord owns the stronger their power is, and they treat them like slaves to boot, and yet they get away Scott free. Especially Valentino…." Her eyes inverted upon saying that name before turning back. "But there's nothing I can do about it… because nobody ever listens to the princess." She sighed. "I'm headed for the roof, feel free to join me if you'd like."

Charlie then walked away leaving Nathan alone with his Pokémon before Alastor appeared. "Having trouble?" He asked, making Nathan jump. "What's that supposed to mean?" Nathan questioned. "Well you were supposed to capture Miss Morningstar right?" Alastor replied. "Sure, abduct the princess of hell in the middle of a hundred overlords who will probably kill me the moment they see it." Nathan stated. "Luckily she said that she's headed to the rooftop, I'll just head up there, grab her and make like the wind!"

Meanwhile out back, some imps transported some band instruments from a truck and into the building. However they were intercepted by a gyarados and a dragalge grabbing them and tossing them into the trash. "Excellent work gyarados." Said Lysandre as he and Xeosect emerged from the bushes. "Now I suggest you start stripping."

After a tussle, the villains disguised themselves as guards. "Those two are quite the ruffians…." Lysandre groaned. "The one on the left is a biter." Xeosect groaned as he rubbed his forehead where several bite marks were. "Never mind, we still have work to finish." Lysandre said as he walked towards the back entrance. "When we find you Nathan… you will hardly be recognizable when we get our hands on you."

Back inside, Nathan then went to the nearest elevator and opened the door, before his aegislash emerged from her ball. "Aegislash… aegi…." "Yeah, I know it's wrong, but yveltal is on the line and I can't let him down!" Nathan responded as the elevator door opened. "Aegi… gi? AEGISLASH!" Shadowsaber then turned into her blade form. "What! What's wrong?!" Nathan asked defensively before the Pokémon pointed at the door.

Nathan was confused by this before turning around and was shocked by what he saw: it was Lysandre! "You!?" Nathan yelled, startled. "YOU!" Lysandre yelled furiously before grabbing Nathan and pulling him into the elevator. The doors closed as Nathan and his Pokémon were thrusted into the nearest wall. "You! What are you doing here!?" Nathan demanded. "That's a good question: what am I doing here?" Lysandre replied sarcastically. "Oh now I remember! YOU GOT ME KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN THAT'S WHAT!" "Oh, I'm sorry that happened to you! Oh wait, I forgot that you happen to be a GENOCIDAL TERRORIST!" Nathan retaliated. "Wow, are we really going there?" "Uh yeah we're 'really going there'!" Lysandre then had his gyarados wrap around Nathan and squeezed. "S-Shadowsaber… use, shadow ball!" The other Pokémon then blasted her attacker that caused its grip to loosen and free its captor.

From there the two tussled around the elevator, before Nathan got a call. "A little BUSY RIGHT NOW!" He yelled. "Did you take a liquor bottle from the bar?" Husk demanded. "You know you're far from the drinking age!" "I need it for chloroform!" Nathan replied defensively. "You know, for the whole kidnapping thing!" "That's not exactly how it works!" "Ok I'll give it back to you when I get back to the hotel!" Nathan then hung up. "Oh so you're on a kidnapping mission huh?" Lysandre laughed. "So much for being Mr Mary Sue Nathan!" "Oh shut up! You did it to me twice!" Nathan retaliated. "Yeah but at least I'm not the kid who runs around ruining other people's lives!" "Don't you DARE!" The two began to tussle once more, just as the elevator door opened where an owl demon in royal attire was standing there. "Uh…" "Take the next one!" Nathan said before the elevator closed.

From there the two continued to tear each other apart before the door opened again. "He said take the next… oh f*(k." Lysandre gasped as one the other side were a trio of Team Void grunts holding Xeosect in ropes. "Haunter, gas em!" One of the grunts commanded before a ghostly Pokémon with no arms, and several spikes from its body emerged and doused them with gas.

By the time the two regained consciousness they found themselves in separate chairs and tied up, they appeared to be in a renovated part of the building, with several Team Void grunts surrounding them. "Team Void… of course it's you…." Nathan groaned. "What the hell are you cretins doing here!?" Lysandre demanded. "We got word that someone was planning on snatching one of our important operatives." One of the grunts answered before they stepped aside as a familiar admin stepped in. "So we decided to do a little intercepting…." "Agatha." Nathan called out. "Nice seeing you again." "Feeling's anything but mutual." Agatha replied. "Looks like we nabbed three rattatas tonight fellas."

"So do we torture them with our little arsenal?" One of the grunts asked as they grabbed Nathan's arm. "Of course you idiot!" Agatha replied irritated. "You three fooled around with our plans and now we're gonna fool around with you!" "Oh great, not only is she crazy she's also a per\/." Xeosect gagged. "What? No I'm not a p*r\/!" Agatha retaliated. "I just steal Pokémon and commit terrorism, I have nothing against women!" "Well if you'll leave me alone I'll be on my merry way!" Nathan negotiated. "Wait, you two aren't together?" "When have we ever been?" Lysandre retaliated. "Oh, we just assumed that you two teamed up or something!" Nathan then looked at the villian and his eyes narrowed. "No, not even in a million years!" "Ok then, we'll let you off the hook this once." Agatha said before clapping her hands. "Grunts, untie the kid." The two grunts then untied Nathan and handed him back his stuff. "Wait, you're just gonna mind control them or something right?" Nathan asked. "Actually we were thinking of the third movie in the puzzle piece horror series." One of the grunts revealed. "Specifically the scene where…" "ab ba ba! I'm still on the second movie!" Nathan interrupted.

"Wait, you're just gonna leave us to die!?" Lysandre yelled. "Well you did the same thing to me." Nathan said coldly, before leaving the two to their fate.

Nathan then stepped onto the elevator and activated it, taking him up. As he was waiting, his aegislash emerged. "Aegi… aegi!" "What! You think I should be sympathetic to him?" Nathan argued. "It's Lysandre! The guy is a total monster!" He then repeatedly tapped the button in hopes it would go faster. "Aegislash…." "Ugh! Leave it to someone like Lysandre to make a simple kidnapping so complicated!" He groaned. "Aegi… aegislash." Shadowsaber folded her arms disapprovingly. "Oh come on! That guy tried to kill me and everyone else! I shouldn't have to explain this!" Nathan then banged his arms against the wall, and looked at his reflection and saw himself as he realized the mistake he made. "And leaving him to die would probably make me just as much of a monster as him now would it…?" The aegislash then shook her head yes. "Ugh… it's official, this is my WORST DAY EVER!"

The two members of Team Flare were still tied up as Agatha began her little game. "This evening's entertainment, ladies and gentlemen: spin the bottle!" She announced as several grunts sat down at the table with sandwiches and an empty liquor bottle set with them. "One of you has a perfectly fine dinner but some of you or maybe all of you have one laced with seviper venom!" Agatha continued as she spun around the bottle. "Round and round she goes where it stops, nobody knows!" The bottle then landed on a random grunt as he pulled his mask over and took a bite. "Whoa man, that was a close one! For a second I thought I was…" Suddenly the grunt started to convulse and fall onto the floor. "Oh… there it is…."

"One down, more to go!" Agatha said. "Bring him the antidote, and bench him." She commanded as the grunts grabbed their comrade and dragged him away for treatment. The other two were taken aback by what they saw. "Oh f*(k!" Xeosect gasped. "I know!" Lysandre replied. "Why didn't I come up with that!?" "Round 2! Let's spin!" The bottle once more spun around, this time landing on Xeosect. "Your turn, glasses." "Absolutely not! I'm not an idiot!" "I knew you'd say that…." Agatha snapped her fingers as one of her grunts summoned a yellow and black taper Pokémon. "Droozy! Use hypnosis!" The droozy then waved its arms and used its swirling eyes at the scientist, putting him into a trance. They then untied him as he grabbed the sandwich.

But before it could come to that, a black ball was thrown towards the droozy, knocking it out and freeing Xeosect from its control. "What in!" "Hey shadow punks! We've got unfinished business!" Nathan called out as his aegislash readied herself. "We give you a chance to run and you ignore it?" Agatha said surprised. "Oh well, get him!"

"You take the ones on the left! I've got the ones with me." Xeosect said as both his klefki and his dragalge emerged.

Nathan smiled as he readied himself for battle as two Team Void grunts sent out a haunter and a helioptile. While Nathan sent out his tyrantrum and aegislash. "Helioptile! Dragon tail!" "Haunter! Shadow ball!" The Pokémon unleaded their attacks, but while Shadowsaber was hit, Titanasur ducked underneath. "Titanasur dig! Shadowsaber! Shadow ball!" The combined attacks managed to defeat the opponents.

Once they were defeated the grunts yelled before running into each other in a panic. "Well that was easy, huh?" Nathan then noticed something sparkling in the Void grunt's pocket, curious he went up to the grunt's unconscious body and grabbed it, and to his surprise, it was that of an angelic dagger! "An angelic weapon!? How did they get their hands on this!?" He said, shocked before realizing that he still had things to do. "I'll worry about it later, right now…." Nathan turned around where Lysandre was still tied up. "What are you looking at?" He yelled before his nemesis closed in, dagger in hand. "What are you doing with that dagger!?" Nathan raised it high while Lysandre closed his eyes. "NononoNONONONO!"

Several slicing sounds were heard before Lysandre opened his eyes, seeing he was freed. "Wait, are you… rescuing me?" He asked, confused. "Don't get the wrong idea Lysandre! We're still enemies!" Nathan retaliated as he put the dagger away. "The only difference is that unlike you, I still have a heart!" "Well, if it means I don't have to eat a poisoned sandwich then fine by me!" Lysandre lended his hand. "Truce?" "Temporary truce!" Nathan replied as he took his hand.

"Oh so you two are friends now!? Oh the irony!" The two turned around and saw the admin of Team Void arms folded with several others around her. "I'll handle the grunts, you take care of the admin!" Nathan smirked before facing Agatha. "Bring it Agatha." "You're gonna regret coming back here, kid!"

Agatha first sent out a large panda Pokémon with a cape-like overcoat on its back and a large leak in its mouth. "Pangoro!" "You are a big one…" Nathan said, intimidated as he pulled out his Pokédex.

Pangoro, the daunting Pokémon and the evolved form of pancham

A fighting and dark type

Pangoro is extremely skilled in the art of hand to hand combat, if the leaf in its mouth twitches, it means Pangoro is predicting its opponent's next move.

Pangoro growled at the opponent, as Nathan hastily pulled out his Gardivoir. "K-Kineticx… use… dazzling gleam." The Gardivoir then flashed its bright light onto the opponent, damaging it greatly. "Pangoro! Poison jab!" The Pokémon then struck the opponent with toxic fists, damaging him greatly. "Another dazzling gleam! Quick!" "Protect and use shadow claw!" The Pangoro generated a barrier that deflected the attack and retaliated by dipping its claws into the darkness and slashing at the opponent. "Don't give up! One more dazzling gleam!" With one more strike on the opponent, he defeated Pangoro.

"So it's gonna be like that huh…?" Agatha said as she returned her Pokémon and readied another. "Houndoom! Use Sludge bomb!" The houndoom emerged from her ball and blasted a blast of sludge that downed Gardevoir in one hit. "Night tide! Surf!" Nathan swapped his Pokémon with his other that sent out a wave of water that damaged the houndoom. "Houndoom! Thunder fang!" The houndoom then bit into the Greninja with her electrified fangs. "G-Greninja…." "Oh boy, night tide, another surf attack!" The Pokémon unleashed another wave attack that defeated the opponent.

The void admin then retreated her Pokémon and sent out her next: a haxorus. "Haxorus! Guillotine!" The haxorus then grabbed onto the opponent with its tusks and instantly defeated him. "Your move…." Nathan stepped back before pulling out his dragon, Noivern. "Echo! Use dragon pulse!" Haxorus was then hit with a powerful draconian blast that knocked him to his knees. "Haxorus! Use outrage!" The haxorus immediately got extremely angry, so angry that it rushed towards the Noivern in a blinding rage, thrashing her around like a rag doll. "Gah! Echo! Use Draco meteor!" The Flying/Dragon then called upon several meteors that descended on the haxorus damaging it to the point of defeat.

Echo was extremely weakened by the haxorus' attack. "Here this'll get your strength back." Nathan said, before taking out a full restore bottle and healing echo back to full heal. "Better?" "Noivern!" "Ok, moment's over, time to take you out!" Agatha said as she returned her haxorus and sent out her last Pokémon, a Scizor. "Get ready for anything, echo!" Nathan said as his Noivern opened her wings and let out a battle cry. "Scizor, toxic!" The Scizor then blasted a venomous substance that poisoned the opponent. "Echo! Flamethrower!" The Noivern then unleashed a flurry of blazing heat that damaged the opponent greatly. "Scizor! Now use, bullet punch!" The Scizor then raced towards Echo and repeatedly attacked her with metal fists. "One more flamethrower, echo!" With one more fire attack, the Scizor was defeated.

With Agatha defeated, she rushed towards the elevator before being stopped by Shadowsaber, who immediately blasted her with a flash cannon attack. "You're not going anywhere this time Agatha… Or should I call you by your real name… Vaggie?" 'Agatha' immediately got onto her feet before taking off her glasses and mask, revealing that it was indeed Vaggie underneath! "What gave it away?" She asked. "The Pokémon you used, I thought it was a coincidence that you would happen to have the same pancham and scyther I gave you a few months back, but after seeing your Scizor, not to mention that it knew bullet punch and the fact that you had a haxorus in an ultra ball, helped me put the pieces together." Nathan explained. "But what I don't understand is why you and Charlie would join Team Void to begin with!" "Well you should know, Nathan." Vaggie said before jumping out the window and flying away. "After all, you had a hand in this too!"

Vaggie immediately flew away, leaving Nathan to wonder what she meant by him having a hand in Team Void. "Well, so much for her being on team Nathan." Lysandre said. "Now, I believe you have a mission to complete?"

At the balcony, Charlie swayed her wine glass to the pentagram engraved moon, sighing to herself. "Chandelure?" "Don't worry, Phantom flare. Everything's gonna be alright…" Charlie then heard the door behind her open, she turned around and saw Nathan and, surprisingly, Lysandre peered out the door with looks of suspicion on their faces. "Oh hey Nathan!" Charlie said innocently. "What is Lysandre doing here? DID YOU TWO PUT ASIDE YOUR DIFFERENCES AND BECOME BEST FRIENDS!?" She gasped cheerfully before the two humans stepped inside, locked the door and stepped closer.

"Uh why'd you lock the door…?"

"What's with all that rope?"

"DID ANGEL PUT YOU UP TO THIS!?"

After a few hours of tossing and thrashing, Nathan and Lysandre went back inside with Charlie tied up in a large sack. "Can't she just burn the thing?" Lysandre asked. "I doused it and the ropes in holy water, she won't be burning back anytime soon." Nathan replied as Charlie struggled in the back. The two then tried their best to get past the guests so as to not make a scene, but it was hard to do. "Nothing to see here folks!" "Avoid your gaze!" "Carry on with your day!"

"Excuse me… but why is that sack you are holding struggling?" The owl demon from before asked. "Well mr owl sir, it's um… haunted." The two immediately ran off. "It's Stolas by the way."

Later on the two were traveling their 'cargo' in the truck that Lysandre stole from the imps. "So why do you want to take down Team Void anyway?" Nathan asked. "Because they sabotaged my operations, took over my business, and swindled me at every turn." Lysandre explained. "And it appears that we share a common goal." "For wildly different reasons, after all this is over we are back to being enemies!" Nathan retaliated. "For once we agree…."

Back at the hotel, Nathan opened the doors where he carried the struggling bag containing Charlie and threw it on the ground where it stopped. "She is a fighter let me tell you!" Nathan exasperated as he fixed his back. "I have to say, I didn't think you'd go through with it!" Alastor said as he appeared near the entrance. "And where were you?" Nathan demanded. "Just having a bit of fun is all!" Alastor replied, nonchalantly and sitting on the couch. "I'm guessing you had your Pokémon help ya?" Angel assumed. "Well… not exactly…." Nathan replied nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "Kid… what did you do?" Husk demanded, knowing full well that Nathan did something insane. "Well… it's best if I show you."

Nathan then opened the door and on the other side was none other than Lysandre! "Guys… this… is Lysandre…." He said embarrassed, everyone besides Alastor was shocked. "Wait as in THAT Lysandre!?" Angel gasped. "Isn't he the sick f*(k who tried to murder everyone in Kalos!" Husk yelled as Lysandre eyed his nemesis. "I may have mentioned you on occasion…." Nathan said with a nervous smile while Lysandre responded with a low growl. "I have to say it's good to finally put a face to the name, you are much taller in real life!" Alastor said as he observed the Team Flare leader. "I have to admit you've got a lot of leather on you… I like that." Angel said seductively. "Touch me and I castrate you." Lysandre threatened. "Oooh… and he's got some really fun k!*ks!" Angel continued as Lysandre stomped away. "I'm already regretting this." Lysandre said before grabbing the Charlie stuffed bag and carrying it upstairs. "Xeosect will be installing my equipment in an hour."

"Nathan have you lost your f*(ken mind!?" Husk argued. "You can't just trust this asshole! He's the reason why the extermination is coming early!" "I know that, but we need all the help we can get, I mean Vaggie turned out to be Agatha!" Nathan retaliated. "Damn! That's an interesting development!" Angel asked. "But still that man is a vicious being who brought nothing but pain and ssssuffering to our lives!" Pentious yelled. "Look, even if you don't trust him, I have no choice but to." The demon whispered amongst themselves for a minute before turning back. "Well, we'll let him stay, FOR NOW." "Good, now while we wait, let's get into this." Nathan then pulled out the dagger he got from the grunt from before. "I've been wondering where this came from."
