Akito and the Spell of the Unknown

chapter 18

They all then ended up in a room and finally found the Unknown as they expanded and spread out, causing more and more crystallization.

"We have to find out a way to stop them!" Misty proclaimed.

"Yeah, but how?" Estelle asked.

Ash charged for the Unknown, only to be zapped by an invisible barrier which then pushed him backward.

"Ash!" Pikachu and Emi cried for him.

"I'll see if I can break through." Akito said.

Emi was worried for him, she gave him a kiss on the cheek for good luck. Akito blushed from the kiss and smiled bashfully to her, giving her an A-OK symbol with his fingers, then narrowed his eyes and charged for the Unknown.

"You can do it, Akito!" Estelle cheered.

Akito tried to break through it, but had the same result as Ash. "Nuthin'..."

Charizard then tried, having the same fate, but he then used a flamethrower and the flames were able to break through the barrier. This made the others cheer. However, the Unknown identified it and pushed Charizard back on the ground.

"I'm going to try to break through it next." Pikachu told him.

"You try, Pikachu!" Ash coached. "Use your Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu rushed to the barrier and bolted against it.

The bolt was able to make a hole in the fabric, but it didn't last too long.

"Let's try together!" Akito, Larvitar, and Vulpix told Pikachu and Charizard.

"Okay, but this time, use your heat vision." Charizard told the boy.

Akito nodded, charging himself up.

"Alright, guys, together!" Pikachu told them.

The others nodded and they used all their effort and energy with their powers to break the barrier together. The barrier did break, it no doubt made the Unknown very unhappy. They banded together made a huge white glow that made very dangerously sharp crystal shards pop out. The others decided to run through them and avoid the crystals as best as they could.

"We can do this!" Akito called out.

The spikes came closer, but luckily, they were all still together.

"This is a very dangerous situation." Jessie cringed.

"Whenever the goin' gets tough, Team Rocket gets goin'." Meowth added.

"Yeah, on the double!" James whimpered.

The three then tried to tiptoe away.

"You three are backing out now?" Cherry folded her arms firmly at them.

"Well, what choice do we have?" James asked her.

"I hate to break it to you, but the only way out of here is to be shiskcabobbed," Cherry said, pointing to the sharp crystals. "I thought you were on our side now, huh?"

"Well, we are, but we're just scared and also, what can we do to those Unknown with their powers and barrier?" Jessie asked.

"Trust my family and their friends!" Cherry firmly looked to her.

"Alright, if you say so." James said.

"Somebody help!" Jessie cried as the situation grew more and more dangerous.

"Protect the women!" James cried, clinging onto Cherry, then smirked to her. "What're you doing after this?"

"Dreaming about slicing your eyes out with razor blades." Cherry grumbled to him.

"I'll take that as my cue to not get on your bad side." James said.

"You and about everyone else in the world..." Cherry rolled her eyes at him.

"I'd still rather marry someone like you than what my parents made me run away..." James mumbled, then held onto Jessie for support, since she was scared too, she didn't abuse him for it.

"Trust me, she is a true nightmare." Meowth told Cherry.

The spikes came back as the Unknown swarmed.

"Let us out of here now!" the Fudo and Ketchum siblings cried.

Suddenly, another spike came right in front of them. Molly buried herself against Estelle for comfort, this was really scaring her. However, Entei's growl was heard and he blasted a crystallized flower and made a doorway with it in victory.

"Wow, he sure is strong." Estelle smiled.

"Way to go, Entei!" Vincent cheered, now having full respect for the beast Pokemon.

"You are 'THE' Pokemon, Entei!" Akito cheered, also having full respect for the beast Pokemon.

Molly smiled in deep hope.

Entei then took a deep breath and let his sonic breath blasts shower over the crystals. He then hopped down over them and looked out to the crystal wasteland. 'Molly, I was happy and proud to be your father...' he said as he watched the Unknown scatter all around in their reign of terror. 'The last thing I can do is take you out of this place.'

"But how?" Molly asked.

'I was born in your dreams,' Entei replied before getting into a pouncing position and hopped up to the swarm. 'If you believe in me, there is nothing I cannot do.' he then jumped high, hit against the barrier, but even he couldn't pass through it.

"PAPA!" Molly cried.

'Molly!' Entei called out. 'Help me!'

Molly was very worried and scared, she just felt like she didn't know what she could do to help.

"Molly, you have to believe that Entei can defeat the Unknown believe in it and it will." Ash told the younger girl.

"Ash is right," Emi agreed with her brother. "You just have to believe, Molly."

'Believe in me if that is what you wish...' Entei told the little girl.

"You can do it!" Felicity encouraged.

Molly looked to her 'father' and tried to believe in him the best she could so that way they would all be safe and no longer suffer in this living nightmare.

Akito, Larvitar, Vulpix, Misdreavus, Charizard, and Pikachu joined Entei and attacked the bearier. The barrier was weakening. Molly concentrated as the Pokemon did their best to destroy it. Little did she and everyone else know was that it would take the Pokemon and her to destroy this and the Unknown would never hurt anybody ever again.

'Come on, we can do it.' Akito thought to himself as he increased his heat vision.

The barrier was now shaking the whole room. The others screamed and held onto each other. There was a big white and blue glowing light that grew bigger and bigger and soon there was a huge explosion. They all flinched, but the nightmare was finally all over.
