Ash's Eon Journey!

An Enemy Defeated

Chapter 27

Pain washed over me again but it wasn't as bad as before. I noticed I had gone through the portal and was now in Spear Pillar.

Latios, Latias, and the Lake Guardians flew up to us, I could tell they were talking but wasn't able to make out the words.

"Take care of them," The command sounded in my head once again.

"No," This time, I was able to fight the command, though it cost me a lot of effort.

Cyrus, however, couldn't understand me and the command was repeated through the red chain, more powerful this time. I struggled hard against it as the pain intensified again. It was like a war was going on and I was right in the middle. Just as I thought I could hold out no longer, Latias fired a Dragon Pulse at my head and the red chain exploded, sending a giant wave of energy through me. The last thing I remembered before falling into unconsciousness was a couple of faint calls of "Michael!".

~~~

I woke up to a splitting headache. Where was I? I looked around the room and noticed I was lying on a bed in a Pokemon Center.

"Michael, you're awake!" Latias rushed over to me. Her voice sounded cheerful but tired.

David patted me on the back. "I knew you would make it!"

"But what about Cyrus, Team Galactic, the portal and-"

"Everything's all settled," said Ash, "after Cyrus lost control over you, we were easily able to defeat him," He smiled. "you did a great job back there Michael,"

"I think he's still confused," Pikachu jumped onto my bed. "What's the last thing you remember Michael?"

I racked my brain for any memories. "I remember going through the portal," I started, "then Cyrus told me to attack and..." I stopped. "I think I blacked out after that,"

Latios nodded. "I think I know where we should start then,"

Flashback (3rd Person P.O.V.)

Latios and Latias watched as Michael and Cyrus came out of the portal.

Cyrus glanced at the Eon Duo and the Lake Guardians. "Latios, take care of them,"

"Brother, what's wrong with Michael?" Latias shot a worried glance in his direction.

"I'm afraid it's the red chain," replied Latios, "Cyrus must have gotten control over him,"

"I said, take care of them!" Cyrus yelled.

Michael's eyes flickered from normal to red and his body shook as if fighting a battle.

"He's trying to resist it," Azelf flew up to Latios and Latias. "he has a lot of strength, but I don't know if he can last much longer,"

"Do it now!" Cyrus' voice rang out again.

"Oh no you don't!"

"Sis, wait a sec-" Latias fired a Dragon Pulse at the red chain before Latios could finish his warning.

Boom!

The red chain shattered on impact, creating a huge shockwave that blasted all of them back. When Latias looked again the red chain had disappeared, leaving Micahel knocked out on the ground.

"Michael!" Latias rushed over to the shiny Latios. "Are you okay?"

Latios flew over to her and examined Michael. "He'll be okay sis, I don't see any injuries. He probably just got knocked out from the explosion,"
