BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR

🌹GUARDIANS FROM PAST🌹

"DRAAGON TAIIILL" The Gyarados slammed its tail on the ground as the grunts flew away from the force of attack. The attack made them fall toward the building as the wooden wall broke down on the force of impact. Gyarados roared as Misty narrowed her eyes toward Brock who was treating hurted people under debris. The flying brick came out of nowhere hitting many of the people seriously.

A series of explosion took place in the castle as she and Cilan looked at the castle engulfed in smokes with a Salamence fighting with a few aerial pokemon as it flew above them at a high speed making dust fly in every direction.

"What do we do?" Misty asked as everyone of the group stood next to brock and Clement who were curing the injured people. Seeing all the blood and wails of cry wanted to make her throw up. How did they ended like this. All they wanted was to meet Ash and ask no.. Beg for forgiveness but here they were.

Fighting a battle out of nowhere.

"Crunch." She ordered as the the fangs of the sea serpent gnawed upon the Machoke holding its head in its jaws as the pokemon shook it like a rag doll from one side to another.

Max jumped off the stairs sighing in relief indicating no one to be present in the second floor of the building. It was clear. Dawn and May grabbed an old woman and helped her get out of the broken building as Misty turned away her head in disgust from all the blood.

"This is just as Mr Paul said would happen.." Serena said helping Misty get out of the inn as she recalled the sea serpent back. The ball sucked the pokemon into pocket dimension as they ran out into the main streets. No one was visible. They expected a lot of team rocket grunts and stuff but it was barren.

Not a single soul was there.

"We will divide.. A few people will go toward the castle and a few will help in dealing with the injured here." Max said drawing out a line on the ground with a stick. They needed to act soon and eliminate the threat as soon as they could.

It was their responsibility. Misty was a gym leader, Clement was too, so were Cilan and Brock. Iris was a Champion for a short amount of time and rest of them. Ash's values bound them to no ends. They had to protect the weak. It was their job.

"Misty, Iris, Serena and Me will go toward the castle. If we are lucky we will find Paul or Brandon who will tell us whats happening." He said turning to face the way to the castle. The group formation wasn't on power level but on a level of importance he believed they should meet Ash on. If he was right then Ash must be there, it was all Ash's doing.

Beside Clement won't allow Bonnie to go all on her own. Brock and Cilan were needed here. Dawn? She would help. May, why would he take his nosy sister with him. About Iris, she was stronger than any one of them they would need that strength.

"While the rest of you will deal here." His steps took a faster pace toward the castle holding a pokeball in his hand as he ran toward the castle. The rest of the three ran after him as Misty held a handkerchief in her pocket. The same one she gave him when they separated for the first time. It was in Ash's room placed carefully when she found it. He held them close in past, they found May's half of the terracotta ribbon and a picture with all of them on his trophy table. But all of it was past.

"Please. Forgive us Ash."

Everyone need a second chance in life. Ash got it too and everyone else deserved it too. But was he willing to give it to anyone. That doubt still remained.

"If he's not around here, the only one who is able enough to lead us here is me." Paul stood in front of the first and last line of defense between common people and a few rocket grunts along with guards as his eyes locked with Cynthia's. The only one who was calm and calculated here was her. Ash was an emotional mess who worked on his feelings but Cynthia.
