Chapter 40: Memory Lane

>Aleksi

I gasped as light surrounded me and energy coursed through my body. I couldn't see anything as I was thrown into a memory.

♧♧♧

"Phew. Another challenger fought!"

I blinked.
'V-viola...? What is this...?'
'This my memory of the Santalune Gym bombing. I... I never thought I'd revisit this memory...'

I'd never been in the Santalune Gym, but before I could take a look...
BOOM.

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

A cloud of fire and smoke barreled through the gym.

"What is going on!? Zara!?" Viola grabbed one of the Gym Trainers, who's Levanny was trying to beat back the flames.

"Viola!! I've honestly no idea!! I think a bomb might've-"

"ZARA!!" Viola shoved the trainer out of the way as another bomb went off right where Zara was standing.

And where Viola was standing at that point in time.

"Augh!!"

"Viola!!" Zara screamed.

"Viviii!!"

"Urgh... Zara, go!! The place is on fire!!"

"B-but..."

"I am the Gym Leader here, Zara! I can handle myself!"

The Gym looked like a giant inferno.

"Surskit, Bubble Beam!!" Viola gasped.

Bubbles hit the fires, but it wasn't enough.

The fire spread throughout the gym.

The last thing I saw was the flames engulf Viola before I was thrown into another scene.

▶◀▶◀▶◀
'Oh, jeez, what now?'
'Oh, hey look, let's revisit my death!'
'Steven?'
'No, it's your Uncle Bob. OF COURSE it's me!'
'I don't have an uncle... Bob... And you're SURE the president of Devon Corporation, the leader of the Hoenn Justice League division, AND the former Hoenn League Champion?'
'... Be quiet...'

Celosia and Xerosic were talking with a grunt.

Who was, creepily, flipping a taser gun.

Yikes.

Steven was slumped against the wall with his hands tied behind his back.

And... With a broken arm. Ouch.

"Xerosic, don't you think you're being stupid!? We can't let the other prisoners escape!!"

"...Celosia, I am the head scientist. You do not argue with my commands. IF we kill the ex-Hoenn Champion, at least his braggart Champion friend may cough up something of interest."

"... Very well..."

"Plus, he also happens to be the president of the largest corporation in Hoenn... And the world. Perhaps we may be able to gain some control in Devon... Their technology is the best in the world..."

"That is true... Grunt!"

"Y-yes ma'am!!"

"Gun?"

The grunt blinked, then tapped a button on the handle of the gun, and handed it to Celosia who walked over to the other end of the room with a evil sneer on her face.
