Canalave City
It was really starting to get dark and Miracle and Sakinah were starting to get antsy, while Harmony couldn't rest and was really trying not to throw a temper tantrum.
"Mira, baby it's been way too long, something is not right," Saki said. The worry on her face was not misplaced in Mira's mind.
"Yeah, I'm not feeling good about this either. I messaged her a couple hours ago, and still haven't gotten anything back... Maybe I need to contact our most recent run-in to see if she got picked up."
"You go do that, I think Harmony and I will sit this one out," Saki spoke softly, "Just keep me in the loop if you have more stops you have to make...OK?"
Miracle reached down and gave both of them a kiss, "I'll make sure she is safe and back in our bed in no time." And in seconds she was out the door again.
Saki held their whimpering daughter, "Baby girl, I can't get a psychic reading on Zappy mommy anywhere near here."
"Miss mommy," Harmony said as she sniffled.
"So do I sweet girl, we all do.
Unknown Island
Azula had a blasting headache, she woke up with her head laying on the ground, partially submerged in water. There was barely any sunlight coming over the horizon anymore.
"What the hell happened?"
"We have been captured by the evil moon bitch," Azula looked next to her and saw her Darkrai sitting next to her, beaten nearly to death, "She has been after me and my kind for centuries."
"What are you talking about? Most of your kind are not known for being nice." Azula retorted.
"I know, but you know what it's like to be hunted till your kind is extinct," He spoke again.
She did, and it was now that Azula realized just who her captor could be, "Ohh, so we are facing off against a Cresselia...Fuck me!"
"I'm not just a Cresselia, child of electricity, I'm the first Cresselia."A voice said as a tall purple haired woman walked out of whatever shadow she was standing in.
"I was not expecting a human analog," Azula said puzzled.
"Most legendary Pokémon have one way or another to conceal their true forms once they reach a certain age... Or if they are the original like I am." She was soft spoken but stern, her skin was nearly pitch black and her features were angular and sharp.
"Are you simply doing this because I wouldn't let you take my Darkrai?" Azula questioned, as she got herself into a sitting position.
"Child, these abominations were not created by lord Arceus. They were manifested from the Distortion Realm by the Dragon of Lies and Deceit Giratina. Made to strictly hunt us down and destroy me and my kind." The woman strutted up and loomed over the pair.
"Moon Demon, our original programming is not indicative of all my kind. Plus, it's been several decades since Arceus and my creator have been, how you say... Cool with one another."
"Thats a ploy, a trick the dark one pulled on the almighty," She snarled.
Azula started laughing hysterically, "Oh god you are so dumb, especially if you believe Arceus and all the other legendries could all be swindled, at the same time. Bitch you are paranoid as fuck! Hahahahahahaha!"
The tall woman snarled, and just before she was about to strike at Azula, the electric female was able to kip-up into a standing position and blasted the disguised psychic Pokémon. "You little bitch!"
The smoked cleared and Azula was no longer bound, static electricity was frizzling off her body and her Darkrai looming right next to her. "Now that we are on a more even plane," Azula smiled, "I think I'll turn you into my own personal slave as well." The smile she gave came off as more of a devilish toothy grin, "It will be glorious!"
Canalave City Gym
Motoko stood at the front of her gym, she failed to get the mutants to fall in line, and all three were not even there. On top of that she got word that some girl was abducted in broad daylight on her watch as well.
She had the report in her hand, and even though nobody knew the woman who disappeared, this was the third weird disappearance in the last six months.
"I've cleaned up the ports, and stopped a shit load of the drug trade, but this is getting ridiculous. And this one was in daylight, this person is escalating and quickly." She sighed, rubbed her temples, and was about to walk into her gym.
"MOTOKO!"
"I thought was already done with you Miracle," She said, "What do you want now?"
"Sadly, I need your help," Miracle replied, "My other companion, she's gone missing, no communication what so ever."
'Damn,' Motoko thought, 'Of all people, really.' the gym leader composed herself, "I happen to have a report about several weird random kidnappings, and one even happened earlier today. They happen in an instant and nobody sees exactly what happens." Mokoto turned around holding the folder in one hand. Miracle reached for it, only to have Motoko pull it back, "But why should I give it, too, you?"
Miracle gave her a death stare, "I don't think you want to know how many ways I know how to physically mangle your body. So, I'll get it with or without your help."
"I'd like to see you try!" Motoko postulated, "I'm not like everyone else you know. I'm just made differently."
Mira's pair of antennae perked up, and she took a deep insightful look at Motoko from top to bottom. And she could feel a charge similarly to Azula, "You're not one of us? But you do have an aura of electricity encompassing you." Motoko's face went dead, showing nothing but a neutral stare, "I've never had the chance to really ask this about anyone, but what are you?"
"Someone who's not to be fucked with," Motoko's deadpan voice relayed. She then handed over the file, "Tell me what you make of these abductions if you can."
Miracle grabbed the file and she quickly scanned it, "Four total abductions in the last few months, all random times but all in broad daylight. Age, sex, and everything else is random... But?!"
"But what?"
"The abducted all had one thing in common. They were powerful trainers who all had one Pokémon in common that was all on their person at the time of their disappearances."
"No, they didn't," Motoko spoke.
"Yes, they did. The second person taken had a decryption algorithm just like my girl," Miracle said.
Motoko looked at the file again, "What's your proof?"
"Me, my dad and my Uncle Max wrote a legendary encryption program. Anyone who has registered with the league servers and catches a legendary Pokémon has a chance to encode that pokeball to make it seem like that ball is either empty or a different Pokémon all together."
Motoko took a second and realized Miracle was right, "Damn I should have put that together. All four trainers have or had a Darkrai on them at the time they were taken."
"Any other Pokémon, or any other location may bring me to another conclusion. But our abductor is more than likely the legendary Pokémon Cresselia."
Motoko didn't look amused, "You have to be messing with me? You cannot tell me a Cresselia, who's weak to said Darkrai could take these things down."
"Your people took pics of all the scenes that prove my point as well," Miracle smiled, "If you check the base of the closest street lights, you will see a large feather. Those colors, and that texture tell me that's a Lunar Wing, and Lunar Wings fall off of only one Pokémon. Now have a good rest of your day, I know exactly where I need to go." Mira popped out her wings and flew into the air.
"If they are alive!" Motoko yelled, "Bring them all home!"
Miracle nodded, then took off in a northerly direction, then messaged Sakinah.
"Miracle, do you have any answers?" Saki asked.
"Boy do I. Azula was abducted, she's one of four in the past few months." Miracle kept climbing into the air, "It happens to be a simple reason actually."
"Mira, stop with the foreplay."
"Right, we are dealing with a strong and vengeful moon deity. A goddess known for its massive disdain for the Shadow Knight-Mare Darkrai."
"Really, this, I mean these abductions are all because they all own a Darkrai!?" Saki tried not to scream, keeping Harmony quiet as well.
"Thats right baby, and i have a strong sense of where our girl may be located."
"Fullmoon Island!"
"Bingo, I'm almost positive. Do you want to come along with the baby?"
"I'll leave Harmony with Gardevoir, Dwebble and Hitmontop. I'll catch up to you in a few minutes."
"Love you, see ya in a few." Miracle hung up and located her heading and then in a burst of wind, she took off toward Fullmoon Island.
FULLMOON ISLAND
"Electric rodent, i truly thought you were going to put up more of a fight.''
Azula was lying face down in a small puddle, her breath haggard, her hair a mess and her clothes muddy. Her Darkrai was beaten to a pulp, and her poke balls strewn about the den.
"What final words do you have for this world shadow lurker," Cresselia asks as she looms over Darkrai.
"My mistress will avenge my loss, my creators creator will not let my death be in vain. As my final words all i will say is...I Pity You!"
