Location: Belrose Mansion

A quick recap, Percival was just about to challenge the Normal-Type Gym leader to a Gym Battle. Just before that occurred, Saphira the eldest sister of the Belrose family appeared warning everyone of an attack from Team Meteor. With warning given Saphira rode fight off as many as she could on her Dragonite, leaving the defense of the children to her sister Laura and Percival. Now in the base floor of the Belrose house was: Anna, Noel, Shelly, Charlotte, Laura, Marie and Percival all discussing on what to do.

Noel a boy with black hair around the age of 11. Trying to think strategically. "There aren't exactly a lot of good hiding spots here. Chances are, if anybody gets in, they'll be able to find us."

"Then that means Elitist and Laura are our primary line of defense." Charlotte started with a calm smile, before Marie intervened

"Hey! What about me! I'm on the same level of strength as Percival!" Marie shouted, wanting to help with the situation.

"Uh…" Charlotte looked at her surprised… yet also concerned.

"I'd rather not... but We don't know what we're up against." Percival sighed.

"Well that's fine just one more defense member. Laura's part of the Elite Four, too, so no one's gonna beat her. And if I know Elitist, he's practically a wrecking ball."

"Yeah! anyone who comes through who isn't someone we know gets their face smashed!" Marie shouted…

"When did you get so blood thirsty?" Percival questioned.

"Doesn't matter, but you two got this right?" Charlotte asked [A/N: Charlotte what are you teaching the young and innocent Marie?]. Which both of the Whitehall siblings nodded. "That's the spirit. Anyway, we're not gonna all be able to hide in the same place, so let's split in two groups."

"Okay! How about Noel and I hide upstairs?" Anna asked, with an odd addition of pep in her voice.

"Then shelly and I will find somewhere in the kitchen." Charlotte said.

"I-I can try to slow them by blocking the door with string from my Swadloon?" Shelly added.

"Nice idea, be mess to clean up but smart!" Charlotte applauded Shelly's quick thinking.

"Then, I'll leave the downstairs to Percival and Marie." Laura said, pulling the twins to the higher floor. "Though, do please try to be gentle with the living room."

"No promises!" Marie shouted to Laura.

"I'll try not to break anything." Percival felt apricate to yell that to Laura, after what Marie said.

"Sounds like a plan!" Charlotte yelled as she pulled Shelly to the kitchen. "Let's hope it works!"

As everyone left, it was just Percival and Marie standing in the living room. Waiting for the first person to enter. There was a nervous tension in the air. Marie the first to break the uneasy silence. "You're worried about Lucille? Aren't you?"

"Well, she has only four Pokémon with her, and out with Meteors crawling the place. Speaking of… With good chance of that demon crawling around as well…" Percival said with worry with how past interactions with Nero occurred. But he would never expect for what was currently happening. "But other worries are having you here."

"Me?!" Marie shouted to Percival, "Why am I a worry?! I'm just as strong as you, and you know it!"

"Doesn't matter if you are. These guys are strong too. Besides you think I wanted you to be fighting here?" Percival asked back. "You'd be safer at home!"

"Well I'm here anyway, so deal with it!" Marie shouted back.

There was the click of the front door as a blonde man wearing a lab coat entered. Doctor Sigmund Connal. "We meet again." As he entered two orderlies had entered. As Sigmund's eyes met Percival's he quickly said. "I have no intention of extending to you the same mercy as when we last met."

"Funny, neither am I." Percival smirked.

"I am just here to reclaim what you have stolen from me." Sigmund said, trying to justify his place. "Those children belong at the Orphanage. They are my property."

"Your property?!" Marie looked at this guy as if he was nuts. "You can't be serious! You've joined an evil organization! There is no way that any sane person in Reborn would give them back to you!"

"They are my property." Sigmund repeated with a driven look. "However, I know from our last encounter that you are to not be underestimated Percival. And seeing how you have your younger sibling… Orderlies, detain them!"

"Yes sir!" Said the two Orderlies John and David. [A/N: Never introduced them, but I need to give them their names for my own convenience.] As the two Orderlies toss out a Toucannon and a Ferroseed,

Sigmund quickly ran towards the stairs "I'll search the upper floor."

"Oh, no—" Marie tried to chase but stopped as a rock blast rushed past her.

"Marie, they have an elite four member with hem. They should be fine." Percival said, he knew how strong a Gym Leader was, so he could only imagine how powerful Laura would be.

"Fine, but let's finish this up quick. Sparky!" Marie called out tossing out her Jolteon to the floor of the living room.

"Jolt!" Sparky the Jolteon quickly sent a discharge of electricity everywhere. The Toucannon found itself immediately unable to move from the discharge. The Ferroseed however using its barbs survived the attack taking some damage but still seeding strong.

"Careful Marie! That almost hit me!" Percival shouted narrowly avoid the discharge of electricity. Before tossing out his Delphox, Oracle to the field. "Oracle, take down that Ferroseed with Mystical fire… and try not to damage the house!"

"Delph!" Oracle cried as it swung its mystical wand swirling it into a circle with a tornado of fire then enveloping the Ferroseed.

"Ferro…" The Ferroseed didn't even stand a chance against the.

"Another trial against you only for me to fail…" The orderly John said as he lost to Percival previously as well.

"Stop this madness!" Percival yelled at the two orderlies. "It's one thing of using shock therapy on people. It's another to help an illegal organization!"
"It doesn't matter." The Orderly David said, as he glanced back noticing someone approaching the house. "Our loss is inconsequential. The Doctor has all the time he needs."

The door slammed open, as a man with black hair and an eyepatch entered soaking wet. Anger was clear on Sirius' face. "Blast that feral woman!"

The two orderlies looked at Sirius surprised expecting more Meteors behind him. "Where are the other Meteors?"

"Nero captured his target." Sirius growled. "While the others gone. Dead for all I know. That accursed woman with the Dragonite came and shot us down as we were crossing the lake. I clipped her wings in return though, and hauled myself out of the water. Now I am NOT leaving here empty-handed. Where are the children?"

"Someplace you'll never get to them!" Marie shouted sticking her lounge out at Sirius.

"Captured?" Meanwhile Percival was dealing with the news of someone being captured. Before he shook himself out of it looking at Sirius. "…"

"You…" Sirius looked at Percival and Maire, knowing who they were. "You Whitehalls. Don't you DARE stand in my way."

"We came here because we didn't want to listen to our parents. Why should we listen to you?" the two stood blocking his path, neither having the intention of letting Sirius do as he wanted.

"Fine then don't say I warned you. Minior, Tyrantrum Destroy them!" Sirius commanded tossing out a flying rock Pokémon, and a T-rex looking rock Pokémon. Both charging forward looking to attack.

"Rock Pokémon aren't your specialty. Oracle return!" Percival said removing Oracle from the field just in time for the Tyrantrum to just miss Crunching into it. "Well, that was lucky. Go Steel!"

"Were ending this quick, I see. Sparky Volt them!" Marie shouted sharing a quick glance with Percival, and The Jolteon emitted a large amount of electricity, and the electricity encircled Sparky, then the electricity moved in two directions one blasting into the Minior taking it out with one shot. while the other hit towards Marie, heading back into it's pokeball. "Good job, Sparky. But now your time to shine Tesla!"

"Tch… you have no clue what you're fighting for or against! Chandelure!" Sirius seeing how this was going furiously brought out one his strongest early. "Chandelure Shadow Ball! Tyrantrum Dragon Claw!"

"Tesla Cover Steel! Stomping Tantrum!" Marie shouted as the Chandelure drew in shadows into a ball, reading to fire. Tesla banged his feet across the floor and charged at the Chandelure forcing it to the ground. Though hurt the Chandelure still managed to fire off the Shadow ball hitting right into Steel.

"Steel!" Percival shouted as his Metagross was forced upwards by the attack, but as he met eyes with Steel, he saw that Steel was still in. "Alright Meteor Mash on that Tyrantrum!"

"Meta!" Steel using the force form being launched into the air aimed back at the Tyrantrum pinning it to the ground just by landing on it. Steel's weight easily doubling that of the ancient Tyrantrum. As the Tyrantrum was pinned, Steel lifted its metal paws (? Claws?) and slammed into the Tyrantrum.

"Again…" Sirius groaned as his Tyrantrum was left unable to battle and his Chandelure was almost down. "Golisopod!"

"A Golisopod… Darn it, Steel re-!" Percival didn't have a chance to say as the Golisopod charged at Steel rendering it unable to battle. "Damn it. First impression is one of the most annoying moves ever…"

"Don't worry that Chandelure is mine!" Marie shouted as Tesla's fist created waves of electricity and slammed it into the Chandelure.

"Vire!" Tesla cried and then charged towards the Golisopod slamming another electricity filled fist into the it, forcing it back into its pokeball. With a Toucannon replacing it.

"Perhaps we've left this threat unchecked for too long." Sirius scoffed, as his team was being defeated in seconds. From what he saw from Percival was a different boy that was once defeated by Nero. Sirius attempted to think of a way out of his situation as a scream was heard from upstairs.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!" It alarmed the three, though it was recognizable to Percival and Marie.

"Laura?" They both said, not thinking it was possible for an Elite four member to lose.

"…Oh?" Sirius smiled as he heard the scream. "Sounds like someone upstairs has been hurt… I wonder… will you rush to help her, and let me do as I please? Or will you rush to help her, and let me do as I please? Or will you abandon your friend to keep me stuck?"

"…" Percival glanced to Marie really quick, and their eyes met for a second.

"Got it!" Marie said as she returned Tesla to its ball and a made a dash for the stairs.

"Heh, predicta—" Sirius cut himself off as he quickly dodged a rock that was thrown at him.

"Don't forget about us." Percival exclaimed with his Aerodactyl out of its pokeball. The stones digging into the Toucannon.

"So, you have fight in you still…" Sirius grumbled. "But go a head send your sister to fight the Doctor alone. Waste your time with me."

Percival smiled as the door behind Sirius opened. "You know I don't think I have to worry too much."

Sirius' face went pale as he turned and saw a woman with Purple hair, who was also dripping wet. "Y-you!"

This was no other than Charlotte and Laura's older sister Saphira, the one who had been fighting the Meteors outside. She since then finished causing them to retreat, and came back to finish off any lingering threats. "Peekaboo, bitch."

"…" Sirius stepped back in fear. Remembering Nero once saying that it would be best to avoid her.

"Heh, did you think you could take me out that easily?" Saphira laughed seeing the paling Sirius. "And on the other hand, I hear your Team quite enjoyed my little light show."

"You just rely on cheap strikes. You wouldn't fight us on equal footing." Sirius said, trying to bait Saphira.

"oh, that's hilarious to hear from you." Percival said. "The sneak attack attempted strike on us? Oh, and I mean how you were planning on sending out that Seviper on to my sister."

"Right. I don't particularly appreciate you hitting my Dragonite's wings either."

"…" Sirius looked between the two looking for a way to escape when they heard glass shatter from above. That's when a buzz was heard from Sirius' intercom. "What… Damn it, that was not as planned." Sirius yelled, realizing how screwed he was he threw down a smoke bomb and ran through a first-floor window escaping.

What just happened had both Percival and Saphira worried. Saphira called out, yelling "Charlotte! Laura! Where are you?!"

"Saphira! we're in the kitchen! Is the coast clear?" As charlotte called out, it took Saphira less than a second to bolt to the kitchen.

Meanwhile Percival who heard nothing from upstairs ran towards them calling for his own sister. "Marie?!"

Percival found himself up stairs Marie thrown against the wall tesla next to her. Tesla looked very worried for Marie, but it she was breathing. "vire…"

"Marie? Are you alright?!" Percival asked, worried for his sister.

"Ugh…" Marie shook her head… "Can someone tell me the number of the voltage he hit me with…"

"Well… seems like your sense of humor hasn't changed." Percival cracked a smile.

"No! I was actually hit with electricity!" Marie shouted.

"lilli…" A Lilligant spoke, looking confused and worried as it didn't see its master.

"Where's Laura!?" Marie then shouted, unable to get up. "Damn… he knew he couldn't get away with Tesla here… so he fled with her…"

"Damn… that's not good." Percival shuddered, he saw how Saphira was angry at Meteor, he didn't want that to be pointed at him. "Where's Anna and Noel."

"oh, Percy! We're over here!" they could hear Anna call from one of the bedrooms, "Is it good to come out now?"

"Possibly. Saphira's downstairs right now." Percival yelled back to them

"Then that means it's safe." Anna yelled back in a carefree tone; Noel was probably trying to say to her that it might not be.

"Come on, let's go back down and explain." Percival said to Marie. "Can you stand?"

"hgnnn…" Marie attempted to stand, but failed. "nope… I think that blast messed with my nervous system…"

"That hasn't happened a while." Percival sighed as he heard that. remembering multiple times in the past how Marie had done something with electricity losing control of her arms or legs for a few hours. then as he picked up his sister, he took Tesla's pokeball, "Tesla mind returning?"
"Vire." Tesla nodded, returning to his pokeball.

"Alright, let's go down." Percival said carrying Marie on his back. Marie nodded, and they headed down stairs, in the living room they saw Saphira talking to Charlotte and Shelly.

"Charlotte, are you hurt?" Saphira asked.

"I'm fine. Thanks, sis." Charlotte smiled as she got to see her sister.

Saphira then turning to Shelly. "Other girl?"

Shelly who seemed to be okay, except with the fact she was referred to as 'other girl'. "I'm okay but, um, my name is—"

"good." Saphira once again cut shelly off before she could state her name. "Percival… since your carrying someone, status report for upstairs doesn't seem to be well."

"shit, Marie!" Charlotte shouted as she saw that Marie was being carried.

"A-are you all right?!" Shelly also concerned shouted.

"I'm fine just got blasted with some electricity. Nothing I'm not too used to." Marie said as Percival set her on the couch "I'll just be un able to walk for an hour or two… maybe three."

"…" Charlotte then contorted her face in confusion then looking to Percival. "This a usual occurrence?"

"Yes… but that's not the issue. Marie managed to chase off the doctor, but as you can see the doctor was able to stun her…" Percival sighed

"Wait where's the twins?!" Charlotte shouted, noticing their lack of presences.

"They're fine. The Doctor got Laura though." Marie finished. Looking to Charlotte and Saphira. "Sorry, it's my fault…"

Charlotte seemed to accept that as a fault, "You got paralyzed you tried at least."

"…Sigmund took Laura?" Saphira stated as it was an impossible task. "He has no authority to do that. The old man is slipping. And that means it's time for me to hunt him down and tear his throat out."

"Sounds like fun. I'm in." Charlotte smiled.

"No, you're staying here. Laura was already taken; I'm not about to let you get hurt too." Saphira however denied that request. then looking to Percival. "However, Percival is coming with me."

"I was planning on doing that whether you asked or not." Percival stated looking back at Saphira, "Sirius said something about capturing someone else… a friend of ours was out before this took place. She most likely was captured…"

"Then Let's move." Saphira said walking to the door.

"Do you even know where they where they were taken?" Charlotte asked.

"I'll figure it out." Saphira shrugged.

"Um… um, I have and idea." Shelly added, "Remember all that pipework and mechanical stuff we saw coming through the mountain?"

"…" Percival could only give a strained sigh… "You mean to say… we escaped team Meteor, just to practically camp Infront on of their bases?"

"It's possible… but it might not be." Shelly said looking down.

"…I think that's worth looking into." Saphira said, "C'mon Percival, reveng—"

"Aroo!" Saphira was cut by a familiar howl, as a Blue Arcanine came charging to the door.

"What the?" Saphira immediately reached for a team member, but Percival recognized

"Blaze!" Percival shouted, pushing past, he looked over the Arcanine, to find little to no injury on her. But to that remark Lucille was not there. "…was she captured?"

"*Whine*" Blaze nodded with extreme worry for Lucille's sake.

"Can you lead us to her?" Percival asked.

"Aro!" Blaze nodded, indicating she could track Lucille.

"Right, let's go!" Percival smiled, thinking it was time for a counter attack.
