《Shattered》-Re Written-

Chapter 59

Brock's POV

I froze in my spot, Watching as Max fell off Metagross, I couldn't move, I was trembling, It was quiet, Grunts ran toward me, using my shocked state as a chance to trap me, but Steelix hit them away with it's tail, I didn't move, I wasn't fazed, my legs felt weak, and I fell to the ground.

I watched as Sceptile caught Max and Metagross hitting the Persian away, "Gary look out!" I faintly heard Ash yell out from the top, I shut my eyes, letting the chaos engulf around me 'The plan had failed' I thought 'Max got hurt' I thought 'Everything is falling apart' I thought.

I winced as I heard Steelix roar in pain "Stop it..." I choked out "Delphox use Flame Burst! Pancham use Dark pulse!" a Feminine voice called out in the distance, I raised my head to see a giant explosion over  the frozen walls, The Explosion plus the cold enclosed walls of Ice around the arena, Smoke from the explosion crystalized and spread all around.

Suddenly, I felt something wrap around me, I looked down and barely saw familiar Ribbons around me "Steelix! Return!" I called back, returning Steelix to it's poke ball, as The Ribbon pulled me over the crowd of blinded Grunts, I closed my eyes to avoid any of the smoke to get in my eyes.

"Sorry Brock, you were about to get surrounded so I pulled you back" The same feminine voice from earlier said "Why are you still here Serena" I asked as I was gently placed down "I can't leave, he might disappear again" She said softly.

I scoffed "It'sa dangerous, you saw what happened to Ma-" I was cut off by a tap on my ankle, I looked down, squinting, I saw the same boy attacked by a Persian earlier "Max!" I exclaimed kneeling in front of him "Are you okay? what happened back there?!" I asked worriedly, he only chuckled and sighed "The Persian jumped down and attacked me, It got me, but It isn't serious, just a gash on my head" he said.

I glared at him as I roughly examined his wound "Ow! Brock what- !!" "Don't scare me like that Brat" I said as I took out my Emergency med kit, and bringing out Chansey "Chansey help me bandage his head please" I said.

He scoffed "What did you think happened? I died?" He chuckled, I stayed silent "They're over there! Attack them quick!" A Grunt said seeing his way slightly through the smoke now "Pancham use Stone edge" Serena said and Pancham did as told, blocking me and Max from the Grunts "I did" I finally answered.

"What you don't trust Metagross or Sceptile to protect me?" He complained, I didn't answer 'It was so sudden, I'm sorry I was slightly late' Sceptile stated "It's fine, at least he's alive" I said, Chansey finished with bandaging his injury, suddenly I heard Serena whistle loudly.

The whistle echoed and bounced off the Frozen walls as a Bird's loud yell echoed back as a response "Altaria! Hurricane!" Serena called out.

My eyes widened as the smoke from earlier turned into a huge hurricane  sucking up all the Grunts in the middle of the field, "Sylveon Fairy Wind! Lilligant Sleep Powder!" Serena called out again, Sylveon's Fairy wind bringing Lilligant's sleeping powder to the Hurricane, 'YEAH! GO GET EM!' I Heard Pancham cheer, I turned around only to see him floating slightly, I grimaced and grabbed him before he got sucked in by the Hurricane too.

I Looked up at Serena, She was staring harshly across the Field,  And I knew right away where she was staring, the Hurricane finally calmed down, thus rained deeply asleep grunts on the Field.

"Serena!" I heard Ash call from the other side of the Field, I looked around and saw the Champions letting go of their Pokémon, probably because they were holding onto them to not get sucked in by the Hurricane earlier.

"Gary!" I heard Max call out in worry, I snapped my head over to Giovanni's Direction and cursed under my Breath "Let him go Giovanni! What you need is me right!? don't bring other people into this!!" Ash yelled loudly.

I felt a small vibration in my back pocket, I secretly answered the call that rang through "Brock it's me" Clemont said "Clemont, did you find anything?" I asked quietly "Yeah, I found the control room, but I found another thing" He said "Huh?" I asked.

The Ultradex' view turned and my eyes widened in shock "Is that... Pikachu?" I asked panicked "Yeah, he's seriously injured, it's obvious he fought against grunts to find Ash" He said, I bit my lip "Where are you? I'll be right there" I said standing up, only to go down again dodging an attack from the other side of the Field.

"All of you are now the Audience" Giovanni laughed

"To the Start! of the New Era!"

hi hello, Sorry this was a crappy chapter too, Like I said this Arc is absolute shart so, look forward to the epilogue instead and think nothing of these next few chapters, I'm trying not to rush it, but recently I just haven't been able to get a stable workflow going, for that I apologize.
