Pokémon PrismGold

Chapter Fifty-Two: "Prism & Gold"

Nate gasped loudly in both pain and shock. Grabbing his chest, he rolled to his side and uttered out in a groan. "Oh... That sucked." Mark grabbed his arm, asking him in relief. "Nate? You good?" Nate coughed, grumbling out in slight humor. "Which parts?" Mark swatted his arm, chuckling out. "You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were dead..." Nate rubbed his throbbing chest, pulling his shirt out to see the vest beneath it. He hadn't realized he was wearing that. When had he put that on? Nate wanted to ask where Pryce was, until a loud screech broke out across the sky. Everyone's attention turned to the sky where the Dark Wing Moltres was hovering victorious. Zapdos and Articuno were down and weren't getting up. Allowing the Dark Wing Moltres to turn his attention on the Shaman who was still playing Lugia's song. Around them the crystal pillars glowed in turn to amplify their note. From the base of the platform beneath her, the green water started to overflow the grooves and began to flood the base.

As the green water rushed over the stone platforms, it sloshed over the dirt and began to create fresh healthy flowers. Mark jumped to his feet, yelling out. "We can't let it destroy the shrine!" The Dark Wing Moltres arched in the air, heading directly down over the shrine. Nate pushed up onto his feet, noticing Sean wasn't getting up. Sean was holding his bleeding leg. Nate moved to help him up, when to his shock the older Giovanni rushed out. "It's not after the shrine! NATE!" Nate only had time to turn, when the Dark Wing Moltres swooped over the shrine and headed straight toward him! Mark ducked before the Dark Wing Moltres's talons impaled him. Afraid that Sean would get hurt if he moved, he braced for the impact. The talons closed in on him, until a small pink pokemon swooped in between them. The small pokemon created a pink ball around itself before the Dark Wing Moltres could change course. Everyone around them stopped whatever they were doing to look at the Mew.

The Dark Wing Moltres's talons slammed into the ball of energy created by Mew. While the ball pulsed to try and knock the Dark Wing Moltres back. It didn't appear to be working though. The Dark Wing Moltres's talons were sparking in a twisted dark energy that seemed even too strong for Mew to handle. The sharp talon's pieced into the ball and Mew squealed as she struggled to resist him. Nate felt a pang of fear as Mew whimpered out psychically to those around it. "I can't hold him! He's resistant to me!" The Dark Wing Moltres pushed his talons in more trying to reach Mew who floated in the center. Mark acted quickly, yelling out. "Chad! Shadow Ball!" From the top of the steps, Chad's ghostly hands slipped from under his canvas body and waved around in the air to create a large black ball that was leaking a purple smoke. When it was formed, Chad grabbed the ball and threw it straight at the Dark Wing Moltres's back. The Dark Wing Moltres jerked back from attacking Mew to screech as its body convulsed with blue ripples.

The Older Giovanni pointed at the Dark Wing Moltres, calling aloud. "Mewtwo! Giga Impact!" Both Mark and Nate cursed, dropping to the ground to protect both Sean and Chad in almost perfect unison. Mewtwo dashed across the ground without his armor. Leaping into the air, Mewtwo's arm started to shine with an intense green light. When he reached the Dark Wing Moltres, Mewtwo punched him in the ribs. The Dark Wing Moltres let out a scream as the blow took him to the ground, cracking the stone beneath him before both Mewtwo and the Dark Wing Moltres were engulfed in a blast of white fire. The force from the hit, knocked Mew back through the air. Thanks to its ball, it bounced off the cave wall but fell weakly to the ground. Nate was forced over Sean more like something heavy fell on him, dazing him. Mewtwo had attacked the Dark Wing Moltres with every last bit of energy it had. The force was impressive and overwhelming. After the blow, Mewtwo staggered back away from the body of the Dark Wing Moltres. His attack had taken a lot out of him.

After taking a step or two, Mewtwo collapsed to the ground and began to pant heavily. For a moment, they all relaxed. The Dark Wing Moltres wasn't moving. The green water from the shrine, rushed over the cliffs like a waterfall. As it touched the ocean, the water started to turn a soft sea green and the storm calmed down. The dark storm clouds were fading away to reveal a bright sunny day. The warmth and light had never felt so good. Things were looking up... and then so did the Dark Wing Moltres. The older Giovanni seemed the most shocked as he blurted out. "What?! How?! That's not possible! Nothing stands up to the power of Mews!" Nate sat up off Sean, answering uneasily. "Nothing we've seen... but Necrozma isn't from here..." The older Giovanni shrugged, asking aloud in shock. "Necro-what?" The Dark Wing Moltres stiffly climbed back up onto its feet and spread its wings to screech in anger. The Dark Wing Moltres's head slowly turned to look at Nate and Nate looked down at himself. Why was it after him?
