Returning to Aether Paradise (Part Three)
Once the group learned about Aether Paradise's plans, they continue to look around the hallway they were in until they reached a dead end.
"There's nothing else down here." said Maxiley.
"Where's Lillie?" asked Edd.
"I think that Fabu tricked us!" said Eddy.
"That cad!" said Edd. "He wanted us to come down here to buy Aether Paradise time to do whatever it is they're planning to do with Cosmog."
"When I get my hands on him, I'll bite him hard!" said Sarah with fury.
"Let's get back to the lift and head back up to the main floor!" said Edd. The group go over to the lift and climb into it.
"Hello, children." someone says, making them look to see Wicke.
"It's Wicke!" said Jimmy.
"Allow me to heal your Pokemon." said Wicke. The group look at each other.
"Should we?" asked Jimmy.
"Well, we shouldn't pass on an opportunity to heal our Pokemon; we might need them at full strength later on." said Edd.
"Yeah." said Ed. The group then hand their Pokemon to Wicke and she gives them Hyper Potions and Ethers to restore their stamina.
"Where's Lillie?" asked Edd.
"Do you know where she is?!" asked Sarah.
"She's with Miss Lusamine." said Wicke. "It's natural for a mother to want her daughter with her."
"Daughter?!" replied Edd.
"Lillie is that Lusamine lady's daughter?" asked Jimmy.
"Indeed." said Wicke. "But the doors to her room are locked."
"We'll get them open!" said Eddy. The group run down another corridor and quickly run into Faba and a few Aether Paradise workers.
"My, my... what naughty children." said Faba.
"Oh great, it's this guy!" said Eddy.
"Didn't Double-D just beat you?" asked Maxiley.
"You children should just lay your heavy heads down." said Faba.
"We'll rest when Lillie is safe and sound!" said Edd.
"I still recall how you defeated me earlier." said Faba.
"Do you have the key to Lusamine's room?" asked Maxiley.
"Indeed I do." said Faba. "If you defeat me, then it's yours."
"If you wanted to keep us from getting to Lusamine and Lillie, you should've stayed hidden and we would've been stuck." said Edd.
"And telling us you had the key was a mistake also." said Jimmy. Faba looked in shock as he realized that they were right.
"Men! Get those kids!" said Faba. Two of the workers stepped in front of the group
"Want to double team these meanies, Maxie?" asked Sarah.
"As long as it's with you, sure." replied Maxiley, making Sarah smile. They and the two workers each pull out a pokeball. The workers threw theirs, releasing a Magmar and an Electabuzz.
"Mrs. Mime, go!" said Sarah, throwing Mrs. Mime's pokeball and releasing her.
"You too, Pupitar!" said Maxiley, throwing Pupitar's pokeball and releasing him.
"Mrs. Mime, use Psybeam!" said Sarah. Mrs Mime holds out her hands and fires a multicolored beam of energy out of them; it hits Electabuzz, knocking it back.
"Pupitar, Dark Pulse!" said Maxiley. Pupitar fires rings of black energy from its body and they hit Magmar, knocking it back.
"Electabuzz, use Thunder Punch on Mr Mime!" said one of the Aether Paradise workers.
"MRS. MIME!" exclaimed Sarah. Electabuzz charges at Mrs. Mime while electricity surrounded its fist. "Use Reflect!" Mrs. Mime holds out her hands and a glass square appeared in front of her; Electabuzz punches the square, reducing the damage she would have originally taken. "Now use Double Slap!" Mrs. Mime repeatedly slaps Electabuzz across the face until it fell to the ground with swirly eyes.
"No!" exclaimed the worker.
"Magmar, use Feint Attack on Pupitar!" said the other worker. Magmar jumps forward and disappears; it reappeared in front of Pupitar and punches him, knocking him back.
"Pupitar, use Rock Slide!" said Maxiley. Glowing white rocks appeared above Pupitar and he launches them at Magmar, dealing super effective damage and knocking it out.
"I can't believe it!" said the other worker.
"Great job, Mrs. Mime." said Sarah.
"You too, Pupitar." said Maxiley.
"You guys were great!" said Ed. The workers returned their Pokemon to their pokeballs; after giving Sarah and Maxiley pokedollars, they returned to Faba and the other worker. Faba turned towards the other worker.
"Get them." said Faba. Reluctantly, the worker walks towards the group.
"I'll take him." said Jimmy. The worker throws a pokeball, releasing a Ledian; Jimmy also throws a pokeball, releasing his Lycanroc. "Lycanroc, use Acclerock!" Lycanroc quickly propels himself at the Ledian and slams into it, doing enough super effective damage to knock it out.
"What just happened?" asked the worker.
"You lost." said Eddy. "Weren't you paying attention?" The worker slumps before returning his Ledian to its pokeball, tossing Jimmy pokedollars, and walks away.
"Looks like it's up to me now." said Faba.
"And I shall be your opponent." said Edd.
"And don't forget, if you defeat me, then the key to Miss Lusamine's office is yours." said Faba.
"If that's what it takes to get to Lillie, then I will be happy to oblige." said Edd.
"Take him down, Double-D!" said Eddy.
"That was my goal." said Edd. He and Faba each take out a pokeball; Faba throws his, releasing a black Pokemon that looks like a mud statue with small feet, pink eyes, and small orbs at its sides that act like limbs.
"What's that?" asked Ed as the Rotom Pokedex flies out and points itself at the Pokemon.
"Claydol, the Clay Doll Pokemon, and the evolved form of Baltoy. If it gets wet, its body melts. When rain starts to fall, it wraps its whole body up with its psychic powers to protect itself." said the Rotom Pokedex. Edd throws a pokeball, releasing his Toucannon.
"Toucannon, please use Bullet Seed!" said Edd. Toucannon releases a barrage of seeds from his beak, hitting the Claydol, and doing super effective damage to it.
"Claydol, use Ancient Power!" said Faba. Claydol summons up large rocks that had fossils in them and launches them at Toucannon, dealing super effective damage.
"Toucannon, please use Screech!" said Edd. Toucannon unleashes a high-pitched shriek from his beak which cracks Claydol's body a little, lowering its defense.
"Claydol, use Rock Tomb!" said Faba. Claydol summons up a lot of rocks and drops them onto Toucannon, dealing super effective damage, and lowering his speed.
"Careful, Double-D!" said Jimmy.
"Toucannon, please use Drill Peck!" said Edd. Toucannon spirals towards the Claydol and rams his beak into it, doing enough damage to knock it out.
"NOOO!" shouts Faba.
"Nice one, Double-D!" said Maxiley. Faba growls before returning his Claydol to its pokeball.
"I won't be bested by a child again!" said Faba. He tosses another pokeball, releasing a Bruxish.
"Toucannon, please use Roost!" said Edd. Toucannon sets down on the floor and starts gathering energy he uses to heal himself.
"Bruxish, use Disable!" said Faba. Bruxish's eyes glowed red, making a similar-colored aura appear around Toucannon.
"Now he can't use Roost for a while." said Edd.
"Correct." said Faba. "Bruxish, use Aqua Jet!" Bruxish becomes coated in water as it propels itself at Toucannon and slams into him.
"Toucannon, please use Bullet Seed once more." said Edd. Toucannon fires off another barrage of seeds from his mouth that hit Bruxish, dealing super effective damage.
"Bruxish, use Psychic Fangs!" said Faba. Bruxish's sharp teeth glowed pink as it flies at Toucannon and bites down hard onto him, dealing enough damage to knock him out.
"Toucannon!" said Edd.
"Don't let this creep get away with that!" said Sarah. Edd returns his Toucannon to his pokeball.
"What will you use now, child?" asked Faba.
"I will show you." said Edd. He puts Toucannon's pokeball away and pulls out another one; he tosses it, releasing his Magnezone. "Magnezone, please use Thunder Wave!" Magnezone fires off waves of static electricity that hit Bruxish, causing paralysis to it.
"Bruxish, use Aqua Jet!" said Faba. Bruxish tries to do so, but paralysis stops it.
"Magnezone, please use Electro Ball!" said Edd. Magnezone releases a large ball of electricity at Bruxish, hitting it, and doing enough super effective damage to knock it out.
"Keep it up, Double-D!" said Ed.
"I intend to, Ed." said Edd. Faba's eye twitches as he returns his Bruxish to its pokeball. He then pulls out his last one and tosses it, releasing his Hypno.
"Double-D beat this Pokemon already." said Eddy.
"That was then, and this is now!" said Faba. "Hypno, use Focus Blast!" Hypno forms a blue ball of energy between its hands and launches it at Magnezone, hitting it, and doing super effective damage.
"Good thing Magnezone has the Sturdy ability." said Maxiley.
"Indeed." said Edd. "Magnezone, please use Discharge!" Magnezone releases a blue jolt of electricty from its eye that hits Hypno.
"Hypno, use Headbutt!" said Faba. Hypno runs at Magnezone and rams its head into it, sending Magnezone crashing to the ground; it struggles to stay in midair.
"Magnezone, please use Flash Cannon!" said Edd. Magnezone fires off a silver beam of energy at Hypno, hitting it, and knocking it out.
"NOOOOO!" shouts Faba.
"Double-D won!" said Ed.
"Was there ever a doubt?" asked Eddy. Faba sulks as he tosses pokedollars, along with a key, to Edd.
"Take the key!" said Faba. "I'm leaving!" He then runs to the lift and goes to another level.
"Good riddance!" said Sarah. Edd walks over to the big doors that Faba and the Aether Paradise workers were guarding.
"Who's ready to save Lillie?" asked Edd.
"We are!" replied everyone else. Edd nods and puts the key into a keyhole on the doors.
What awaits the group on the other side of the doors? Wait and find out.
