Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic (Part I)

0086 Ghost Serpent's Minor Evolution - Latias Arrives!

The command came hissing out of Kai's mouth.

-Use Intangibility.-

Just when Wailmer was about to hit her, Selene exploded into a swirling mass of silver mist.

This was no mere mist that wind or water could affect. No. This was a phantasm that could pass through anything.

Wailmer ran into the mist, and the mist entered it.

With his second command, Kai finished playing with the childish game.

-Use Soul Chill at 40% output.-

Only Kai knew what Selene's Soul Chill could do at its maximum potential.

He had used it to freeze his own soul against Dementor's soul-sucking ability. Selene couldn't control this Ability before this thoroughly, but Kai making her use this Ability for the last seven days against his Glitch's effects had benefited her too.

A burst of chill spread outward from within Wailmer's body.

The Pokemon lost its momentum and fell into the canal, motionless. In just a moment, a thin layer of icy frost spread over its body, making the blue at its top look bluer.

Ross gasped. "Wow!" he said. "It's a Ghost, Ice, and Poison-type Pokemon! But... ice-type moves don't work well against Wailmer."

Following Ross' comment, the Pokemon's entire body thrummed. A silver mist escaped its body and materialized into Selene's snaky figure. She was tired, Kai noticed.

"Wail... MER!" the Pokemon cried, and the ice layer over it broke down into many shards. The water current carried those shards away, and seemingly all chances of Kai's victory along with them.

Or so Ross must have thought.

For, in the next moment, the Pokemon shook its head as if it was drunk, drowsy, and under the effect of strong sedation. Its body looked stiff as if an ethereal layer of ice was still over it, freezing its metabolism with every passing second.

This was the terror of Soul Chill. Its prey wasn't the physical body, but the soul. That layer of icy frost over the physical body was just a consequence of the soul freezing within.

"Wailmer!" Ross cried, seeing the oddness about the Pokemon. "Wailmer - come back!"

But the Pokemon might as well have not heard it. It dolled like a lifeless object, its eyes going vacant like a candle flame about to go out.

"Wailmer can't fight anymore." Cersei stepped towards the canal and declared with a noble authority.

Ross tried a few more times. But when he saw Selene still slithering around Wailmer, he finally shook his head and smiled. "Haha!" he laughed, approaching his gondola. "That was fun! Yes. We admit defeat."

Kai grinned...

... and Selene shuddered.

Ross climbed over his gondola and rushed for Wailmer as Kai approached the Ghost Serpent, slithering towards him. She was trembling, he could tell even from afar. Water was bubbling off her in a low, continuous rhythm.
