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

Chapter 5: The power of a goddess

''MANON!!'' Alan screamed terrified and ran as fast as he could in her direction to save her.

I MUST make it. And I WILL make it. Just a little bit further. But no matter how fast he ran he wouldn't reach her in time. No! I can't lose her! I CAN'T!

Then time froze and Ammy drew a straight line through the furball to return it to Bakeneko. When it hit her she turned gray and yellow stars appeared over her head.

Now was the time to attack. Amaterasu ran towards her and attacked her with her Divine Instrument, the Divine Retribution. The reflector moved from alone forward and cut Bakeneko as if it was a blade. After six direct hits, Ammy froze time and drew a straight line across Bakeneko's body. Because of that, she woke up.

''My master, Amanojaku had entrusted me Hana Valley, the smallest region in Nippon. I can't believe, he gave me such a small and boring place to watch over. But if I defeat you and the chosen one, he'll have no other choice but to take me seriously.'' Bakeneko said angrily.

''So you planned this?'' Issun asked bouncing.

''Of course, I did. I knew you two would come to lift the curse, and so I waited. When I felt your presence I caused the ground to quiver to bring you down to my realm of darkness.'' she answered smirking.

After that, she started to clean herself again. When Amaterasu approached Bakeneko, she tried to slam her with her paws to the wall. But Ammy dodged her attacks with a Double Jump to the side. To perform this move, she sprang into the air and used another jump right after it.

Annoyed Bakeneko spat a black furball at her. But Ammy also dodged this attack. This time she used an epic backflip. She landed on her feet and growled aggressive at her, while the furball crashed into the wall.

Bakeneko got angry by that and an extremely loud roar escaped her mouth. This caused the whole room to quiver and rocks to fall down. Then she got back to cleaning herself. While she did that, Amaterasu dodged the falling rocks through jumps.

After a few minutes of cleaning Bakeneko fired another furball at Ammy. She was dodging a falling rock when she noticed the attack. Time froze and she drew a straight line through the furball so that it flew back to her.

It hit her and turned her body gray again. Then Amaterasu attacked with her weapon.

In the meanwhile Alan reached Manon. When she noticed him she looked up with glazed eyes. He crouched down and gave her a tight hug, which she returned thankfully. Tears, which had formed in her eyes began to roll down her cheeks and her whole body was shaking because of that. She had been so scared. Relieved, that she was unharmed Alan stroked her back reassuring. Both were so concentrated on each other so that they didn't notice what happened around them.

They rested like that until Issun asked:

''Hey, you two! You're alright?''

''Yeah. Thanks to Amaterasu.'' Alan answered thankfully.

''I just wanted to tell you, that Bakeneko is almost defeated. And I thought that you want to make the last attack, Alan.'' Issun said.

''With pleasure.'' Alan said smiling because she would now pay for attacking Manon.

He walked together with Manon, who stayed by his side to Bakeneko and ordered serious:

''Lizardon, Blast Burn!''

Lizardon slammed his right fist to the ground. This created cracks on it, which spread in the direction of Bakeneko. Under her feet quivered the ground and parts of it broke apart. These parts of the ground, on which she was standing, were pressed up. Through the empty spaces on it a wall of fire appeared, which pressed Bakeneko higher and caught her in a cage of fire. Then the fire stopped abruptly and she fell down to the ground. Her dead body vanished in a wave of flowers.

Lizardon turned into his normal form and Alan walked to him, stroked his head and returned him into his Pokéball.

''Well done, Alan!'' Issun said smiling while Ammy barked and wagged her tail happily.

''Thanks, but Lizardon did the work.'' Alan thanked.

''What was that anyway?'' Issun asked.

''It's a Pokémon. In our world, they live everywhere. So far there are over 700 different kinds and 18 types of them known, but there's so much, that we don't know yet. They are so amazing.'' Manon answered cheerfully.

Seeing, that she had calmed down again brought a smile on Alan's lips.

''That sounds interesting.'' Issun stated.

Hearing this, Manon smiled brightly.

When a green light beam appeared the whole attention of the group lay on it.

''What is that?'' Manon asked curiously.

''That's our way out.'' Issun explained.

''But first things first. Now it's time for your Victory Howl, furball.'' Issun said while bouncing happily on Amaterasu's head.

She took one step forward with her left forepaw and moved her head to the bottom right. Then she used the developed swing to raise her head in the typical howling pose and let out one of her famous Victory Howls.

A/N: And with this Victory Howl I end this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it :D
