Light Into Darkness

Chapter 8: His Majesty's Wrath

His Majesty' Wrath

Officer Jenny and the three champions arrived on the scene. They saw that our six heroes were wide eyed and Dawn was on her knees crying. Our champions ran up to our heroes with Officer Jenny trailing close behind.

"What happened!?" Lance questioned, afraid of the reason. "Please tell us!" Our heroes didn't say a word. They still couldn't believe that their friend was the leader of Organization Omni. The boy who brought joy to their lives. The boy who traveled with them, always giving them a heartfelt smile. Steven put both of his hands on the breeder's shoulders and shook him.

"Brock, tell us what happened!" Steven shouted at the breeder. The squinty eyed man shook out of his trance and stared into the eyes of the Hoenn Champion. Brock looked away, ashamed to tell the champions that the Organization Omni's leader was none other than Ash. "Brock, look at me! And tell us what happened!" Steven demanded. The silver haired man was about to continue his rant until he felt Cynthia's hand on his shoulder.

"Steven, leave him alone" the Sinnoh Champion said. "Whatever it was, it must have been terrible. We'll wait for a while."

"But-" Steven said, but was interrupted by the dragon trainer. Steven looked at Lance who was shaking his head.

"Cynthia is right" Lance said. "Whatever happened came to a big shock for all of them."

"Lance!" Officer Jenny shouted. The three champions looked at the officer hoping it was good news. "The people we found unconscious have been safely transported to Sasado Hospital. With that out of the way please can you tell me what's going on?"

The three champions sighed. "Okay, but let's do it in King's mansion. I'm sure he won't be back for a while." Officer Jenny gave a puzzled look. "You guys" Lance directed to our six heroes. "I want you guys to come with us." Our heroes nodded except Dawn. May walked over to the weeping girl and helped her up.

"Come on, Dawn" the brunette said. "We have to tell Lance and the others about what happened." May could only hear the sniffling of the blue haired coordinator. The bandana wearing girl looked at her brother and saw him clenching his fist with tears rimming his eyes.

'How could you do this Ash!?' Max thought. 'This has to be a lie. That man must have been an impostor!' Max felt a comforting hand on his shoulder and looked over his shoulder. He saw Marina with a smile. Jimmy also had a smile on his face. Max knew that they were trying to comfort him. It's not everyday that your friend turns out to be the leader of the most notorious criminal organization. The dark blue haired boy wiped the tears from his eyes and gave them a fake smile to tell them that he was okay. Jimmy and Marina knew the smile was false and they frowned.

Brock followed the three champions up the staircase into the Ash's mansion. Pikachu hopped on his shoulder with a sad look. The squinty eyed man looked at the yellow fur ball and rubbed its chin which made the electric type Pokemon "cha." He looked behind himself and saw that his friends weren't holding up too well. He directed his eyes to a certain blue haired coordinator being helped by May. The breeder's face saddened at the sight. 'This must be hard for Dawn. Being reunited with the man she loved, but not in the way she expected' Brock thought. The tan man looked over to his left side and saw Officer Jenny right beside him. 'I can't believe that the mere sight of Officer Jenny is not cheering me up.'

Everybody reached the front door of the mansion. The doors were large and made of wood. The right door had an etching of Palkia and the left door had an etching of Dialga. The door knockers were gold in the shape of a Growlithe's head. Cynthia was astounded of the craftsmanship. Everybody entered the large wooden doors that led into the mansion. The floor was made out of black marble with a large chandelier above them. The champions along with Officer Jenny and our heroes went into the nearest room. The room had various couches and chairs and on the walls were various beautiful pictures of legendary Pokemon. On the shelves were badges in cases from Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions which the three champions noted. Along with the badges was the Orange League trophy and memorable plaques from each region for making it to the League. Everybody sat down in a seat.
