Scizor POV

My eyes widened at what I saw. Gallade was held by a Tentacruel and a Haxorus had its arm through Gallade's chest.

"Scizor, You're just in time to say your goodbyes." Darkrai spoke from behind a Malamar, who held his hand up, making the Pokémon around Gallade back off. I ran up and knelt down to him.

"Gallade..?" I asked while gently lifting his head up. He looked at me and weakly smiled.

"H-Hey... Scizor... Sorry I c-couldn't hold out..." He spoke in a quiet voice, I could barely hear him.

"Don't be sorry, we'll get you out of here." I said, trying to reassure both him and myself.

"Y-You're team leader... now..." His eyes dimmed as his body fell limp.

"Hey, don't say that, you'll be fine. You'll be fine. You'll be-"

"Well this is just sad. Gallade is already dead, nobody can live without their lungs!" Malamar shouted from the other side of the room. I picked up Gallade's body and put him next to the entrance before turning back to the bastards who killed him.

"Which one of you wants to go first?"

Frost POV

"I can see the warehouses!" Rush yelled as our destination came into view. We were almost there.

"Alright, let's get Spec and get out as fast as possible." I said, getting a nod from everybody in response. We were just about to enter through the gate when we were thrown back as something hit the ground in front of us, causing dust and rocks to fly everywhere.

"Sorry, but you fuckers ain't going further then this!" Once the dust cleared, we could see Garchomp and Metagross standing in our way. Gem and Cream got behind us as Doll and Rush stepped forward.

"We don't have time to deal with you dammit!" Doll yelled at the two villains while readying a Shadow Ball. Garchomp laughed.

"Look at them, they're all ready to fight! Good. I've been wanting to crush you all under my foot for a while now! And I've got just the thing to do it!" He shouted as he and Metagross gripped onto something and began glowing.

"Oh you've gotta be kidding me." I mumbled as they both Mega Evolved. Everyone else, aside from Marshadow, was surprised and took a step back. Garchomp took a step forward.

"Let's have a nice blood bath!" He charged and most of us dodged, except for Marshadow and Gem. Rush jumped back in to fight with them.

"Those three will fight Garchomp, so let's go for Metagross." I said, getting nods from Cream and Doll.

Rush POV

Garchomp immediately started by using Earthquake, which made us off balance just long enough for him to slash at Marshadow, but he disappeared before he was hit. Garchomp growled and tried to bash me with Dragon Claw, so I countered with Cross Chop. We stood in that position for a few seconds before I was pushed to the ground and almost sliced in half when a few Power Gems hit Garchomp in the face, making him stagger long enough for me to get beside Gem, who was the one who fired them.

"Thanks, I owe you one." I said as we stared down the mega dragon in front of us.

"Damn, this Mega Evolution shit is actually pretty fucking good! I didn't feel a thing!" He shouted, glaring back at us. He didn't look like he noticed Marshadow reappeared behind him, who had an Ice Punch ready. Garchomp took the attack right to the back of his head, then another to his side.

"Who the FUCK?!" He yelled as he turned around and blasted Marshadow with Flamethrower. I was about to run in to help, but Gem grabbed my shoulder.

"H-Hey, I'll distract him w-with Marshadow and you can use S-Swords Dance to get really strong and attack him with a-a strong move... right?" He sounded unsure, but that was actually a good idea.

"Yeah! Maybe you should Mega Evolve too, so you can use that big jewel to block his attacks." I suggested, to which he looks down and mutters something about forgetting he could do that. He ran towards Garchomp and used Dazzling Gleam as I powered up with Swords Dance. Gem and Marshadow attacked him from both sides while blocking or dodging attacks thrown at them. After about a minute of Swords Dance, I stopped and stretched before slowly letting my hands be covered in Aura.

"Guessing off of what happened the last time, when I finish using my Aura, it leaves the body part it was affecting damaged. I guess I'm not so good at this... so I'll have to beat him in one shot- or two." I thought to myself before charging at Garchomp, who was shooting another Flamethrower at Gem. He turned towards me and slashed, but I sidestepped and shoved my fist into his stomach, causing him to cough up some blood. I then uppercutted him with my other fist, sending him into the air a bit before landing on the ground with a loud thud. I prepared myself as my Aura disappeared and the pain set in, making me fall on my behind. Gem and Marshadow stood by and helped me back up.

"You unlocked your Aura? I did not think Riolu could attain it until they Evolved." Marshadow said with his head tilted.

"Well I guess I'm the firs- ow!" I said, quickly pointing to myself, only for my hand to hurt worse because of the quick movement.

"T-This hurts worse then last time..." I mumbled to myself. Since my hands were already damaged by my own Aura, pretty badly too, it probably wouldn't be good to do it again not even two hours later, but I guess the rain stopped the burning feeling a bit.

"G-Guys..?" Gem asked, sounding more quiet then usual.

"Yeah?" I asked with Marshadow motioning him to continue.

"L-Look..." He whispered, pointing behind us. We looked back and I instantly realized that our fight with Garchomp took us a bit farther away from the others, but what Gem was pointing to was...

"F-Frost..?"
