Mixturing Moves

Chapter 1: A Day to be Vengeful.

Darkness...nothing but pitch black. Although, within the darkness...a female voice spoke:

"That day...I drowned in sadness..."

. . .

Iris saw Ho-Oh's Flame Charge attack aiming fiercely at her father and Lawrence. The two dragons nod at each other and prepare their attacks: Drath readied a Thunder Punch and Lawrence revealed his Dragon Claw. The dragons jumped to strike the bird but was blown away by Ho-Oh's attack, landing on their backs. Ho-Oh backed away from the collision, panting eagerly.

Iris watched the distance between her and her father grew more and more. Her eyes widened in fear and concern. Concern about her father's battle.

Maza soon saw a large, white dragon statue nearing a hill up ahead. Underneath the statue said 'Reshiram' as Maza noticed some Dragonites nearing it. "Everything will be alright." Maza said to Iris, trying to keep her calm. She reached toward the location and set the Dratini down gently.

"Hey!" A voice said in a loud yet fairly soft tone. Maza's attention was brought toward a blue, fluffy winged bird flying at her direction from the sky: Altaria. She sighed in relief from the Altaria's presence. "Thank goodness you're here, Astona." Maza said worriedly. Astona looked at Maza curiously.

"Maza, who is that ruthless beast that's destroying our homeland?" Astona asked. "I mean, I was out running some errands when all of the sudden, this happens..." Maza looked at her and shook her head.

"Astona, that beast is Ho-Oh. He's from the Marvel Mischief story me and Drath had read about."

Astona looked at Maza and gasped, her body trembling with shock and terror. "Oh Arceus, no..." She said, tearing up. Maza frowned at the Altaria.

"Look. No time for crying, now. Because I need your help." Maza said firmly. "I'll need you to stay here and protect Iris for me."

"Why?" Astona asked, sniffling.

"I want to help the king fight against Ho-Oh." Maza answered. "Besides..."

Her claws began to glow blue. "Protecting the Crater Grassland is what we senators do. We're like guardians of this place. A place filled with Dragon types coming together to worship Reshiram through peace, kindness and honesty." The Garchomp turned toward the Reshiram statue. "So I can't risk anything happening to Drath. To the Pokemon of this village in general!"

Maza then climbed on the hill and jumped in the air, soaring towards the dragon village as fast as a cheetah chasing down its prey. For the meantime, Astona immediately cleared her face from the tears and looked at Iris with an instant smile. "Hop on my back, little one. You'll feel safer this way while Lady Maza and your father has to handle that Ho-Oh fella." She said in a soft tone. She turned around, revealing her blue skin in the middle of her back. Iris looked at the village for a brief moment, letting all the concerns and terror expand throughout her mind before getting on Astona.

"Daddy..." She said, wincing in sadness.

"Don't worry. They'll be fine, dear." Astona replied. She turned her head toward the village, staring down at it worriedly. "Hopefully..."

As Drath and Lawrence got up, Ho-Oh came rushing after the two with another Flame Charge, becoming more quicker than before. Their eyes widened at the attack and was about to be engulfed by it until Maza came just in time to use Dragon Claw on it. The collision sent Ho-Oh and Maza away instantly; Maza landing gracefully on the ground while Ho-Oh crashed into some of the houses and sprawl all over the place. Drath and Lawrence looked at Maza, the Dragonite's eyes became furious at her sight. "Maza! I thought I told you to stay and protect Iris!" Drath yelled.
