Sun & Purity Vs. Darkness - A new Legend (Marissonshipping) [Wattys 2016]

Chapter 4: Everything is not as it seems

But luckily they landed in a haystack. When Manon opened her eyes, which she had closed when they fell she saw, that she was lying on top of Alan, blushed and got down of him.

She sat down next to him and said embarrassed:

''Thanks for protecting me.''

''For you, I would do anything.'' Alan answered quietly, stood up and walked to Amaterasu and Issun, who had already gotten out of the haystack.

Manon's eyes widened and her yet red cheeks got redder. Has he really said that? Or have I just imagined it? She shook her head to push these thoughts away, stood up, wiped away the remaining straw from her clothes and went to the rest of the group.

They were in a big and dark room. It was only lit up by a few candles, which flickered, because of the wind that came from the hole, through which the group had fallen. But even with this hole, the room was really dark. It had a scary and evil atmosphere.

Because of that Manon had taken Alan's arm again. Together they explored the room and looked for an exit. When the group heard a noise they headed carefully to the source of it. It turned out, that it was the sad mew of a black cat with yellow eyes.

''Aww. What a cute cat.'' Manon said smiling, let go of Alan's arm and wanted to approach her, but Ammy jumped in front of her and avoided, that she went any further.

Amaterasu growled dangerously at the black cat in front of her.

''What's wrong with her? It's just a normal cat!'' Manon said not understanding.

''If furball reacts like that, it's no normal cat. I think it might be a demon.'' Issun said seriously.

''So you have seen through my facade, Amaterasu?'' the cat asked smirking.

Then a purple cloud appeared out of nowhere and covered the cat. When it cleared the cat was no longer little or cute.

It was a huge cat demon with ruffled, pitch black fur, which was surrounded by a purple aura. Her yellow eyes gleamed scarily and threatening in the darkness. She scratched her big, sharp claws on the ground and bared dangerously her equally sharp teeth.

Manon got scared by that and went close to Alan.

The demon laughed and said insulting:

''You're scared of me? And you are the chosen one, who threatens my master Amanojaku? Ridiculous! Me, Bakeneko will get rid of you and become my master's right hand.''

''That's enough! Stop insulting her!'' Alan shouted angrily and got out one of his Pokéballs.

He threw it in the air and called still angry:

''Lizardon, I choose you!''

The Pokéball opened and released Lizardon. Lizardon looked like a dragon. His skin was mostly orange. The inner surface of his wings was cyan, while his stomach and the underside of his tail was yellow. On Lizardon's tail end burnt a red flame, which showed his health.

Alan turned to Manon, looked her in the eyes and ordered serious:

''Stay back!''

She nodded scared, ran to a big rock, which lay not too far away from the group and hid behind it. Although she did that she carefully watched Bakeneko and her friends.

Alan placed his left arm in front of his chest and said conjuring:

''Respond to my heart, Key Stone!''

Then he touched the Key Stone, which was embedded in his Mega Ring on his left wrist. It began to shine when he did that.

''Surpass evolution! Lizardon, mega evolve!'' Alan said commanding and held his left arm up.

The shining of the Key Stone brightened. Yellow rays of light spread around it. The Lizardonite X, which was one of the two Mega Stones for Lizardon was blue and embedded in his armor looking like neckband. It reacted to the Key Stone and began to shine. Light blue rays of light spread from the Mega Stone. Both types of rays connected with each other and conflated into golden rays. When these golden rays came in contact with the Lizardonite X, Lizardon's body glowed in a pink light. While he was glowing his appearance changed.

After the process of Mega Evolution was finished, the glowing disappeared. Lizardon or better Mega Lizardon X had now black skin. The inner surface of his wings was blue, while the inner surface of his lower jaw to his tail was light blue. His eyes were red and on each side of his mouth was a blue flame.

During all this time Bakeneko sat bored there and cleaned her fur with her tongue.

''Lizardon, use Flamethrower!'' Alan ordered serious.

Lizardon, who flew in the air, took a deep breath and spat a blue fire beam at her. It hit and whirled up dust. The dust cleared and Bakeneko glared at Alan.

''How dare you to interrupt me in cleaning myself and burn my wonderful fur!'' She shouted angrily and extended her claws.

Bakeneko tried to scratch Lizardon with them, but he dodged her attack every time.

''Now use Dragon Claw!'' Alan said commanding.

Lizardon's claws began to be surrounded by a light green light, which formed bigger claws. He dove to Bakeneko and wanted to hit her, but she slammed him with one of her paws against the wall. Then she continued cleaning her fur.

''Lizardon!'' Alan called worried and ran to him.

He had taken much damage by the impact, but could still fight. But Bakeneko, who had stopped cleaning herself, had something different in her mind.

''Time to get rid of the chosen one.'' she said evil grinning.

The cat demon turned to the rock, where Manon was hiding and spat a black, deadly furball in her direction.

When Alan saw that his eyes widened and he screamed worried:

''Manon! Watch out!''

His voice tore her from her thoughts of the hurt Lizardon and she looked ahead. Her eyes widened, when she saw, that a black furball flew in her direction. She wanted to run away but was too scared to move. Manon just stared horrified at the object, that came nearer and nearer.
