Chapter 38: The Final Assault: Part 5

>Aleksi

The door slammed shut as my Pokémon and I stared at eachother in horror. A splash of red was dashed across Dusk's yellow ring and Shadow's white fur tuft. Whirlpool and Flame's beaks were stained, and Essy, Foofoo, and Thunder's noses were bright red.

Malva, without any care in the world, had just pretty much murdered the Elite Four.

"E-essy, I... think you know what I want you to do..." I trailed off.

Essy, though, hadn't even started when I heard a groan.

"Wha-!?" I whipped around as Essy tugged on my sleeve and said something in PokéSpeak that I didn't really understand, but managed to glean the general meaning from.

"Siebold!? Are you st-UGH!!"

That last part was because there was blood all over the floor around him.

Not to say there wasn't blood anywhere else.

"...Go... You need... to stop... that... machine..."

"Hold on a sec! I can call Olympia and she can have her Pokémon teleport Val-"

"Heh... The Kalos League members are not fools... and only fools will accept the word of a traitor..."

"But you're not a traitor!! You just kinda... maybe... sorta... got mind-jacked, whatever that means."

"Umbreon!!"

"It was my duty... as a League member... to help uphold the peace in the regions... People will not take kindly to a person who has failed their duties..."

"B-"

"Go...! I cannot help you anymore. My life force is fading, that I know... The closest thing I had to family has been torn apart... One member a traitor... The other 2... dead."

"Siebold..." I had to choke back a sob.

"You are the one who will end this fight... and ultimately... the war..."

"War...?"

"Focus only on the task ahead of you... Do not let you mid be clouded with fear or worry about the future..."

"I... I... understand..."

"Umbreon..."

"Ab,sol..."

"... Meow, stic..."

"...flame..."

"Lux, lux..."

"Meinfoo..."

"...plup..."

"...And... If you see the League again... Tell them... That I am sorry... About our betrayal... Aleksi Riverwind..."

That was the last word he said before he died.

"It is truly awful, what they did to Lucian! Only a coward would attack like that!"

I was sitting on the top of Fantina's Driftblim while her Mismagius shot off attackers.

All I did was nod numbly while she continued ranting with her French accent.

There were rumors that Fantina was a Kalos native, what with the French accent and all.

That's racist, in my opinion. I am a Kalos native, but do I have a French accent!?

We'd told the rest of the Sinnoh League members and the Psychic-Type trainers. Caitlin, Sabrina, and Liza had all freaked out. Olympia had just frowned, but turned back to the fight with more anger. Will had punched the closest thing.
