Tryst with Destiny: The End of the Beginning

115: The Tale to be Told... Begins Thus

<Author's Note Starts>

From now on all the chapters will be R rated. The ahead book is for mature content readers only. The ahead story plot which I have in mind, it's mindblowing(for me at least) but things are only going to get darker from here on. 

Perilous times are near(in the story). The story is now entering its final stage. I have very patiently and very gently prepared you for this mature ark of the book by introducing violence, gore etc in liberal quantities and then slowly increasing it. Now, I expect you all to comfortable with what I write. So get ready, the gates of the past are going to open very very very very very soon.

Within the next ten chapters the why of the previous 115 chapters will be explained.

This is the beginning of the finale. The epic ending of this sage. This is what it all boils down to. This is the story's culmination. I hope you're ready. Get ready to be shocked, to be amazed and to be awed(at least that will be my attempt). 

Enjoy. Underage readers and those who aren't comfortable reading mature topics are advised to leave this book and come back when they are ready to read such adult content. If you read ahead, you read at your own risk.

<Author's Note Ends>

(In the Battlefield)

Diantha, Goodshow, Grace, Delia and the others watch in stark silence as Z proceeds to remove his hood. Both Delia and Grace's jaws fall open when they see a few jet black hair appearing out from under the hood.

A huge wave of gasps, echo throughout the stadium as they finally see Z's face after he has taken off his hood completely. There's stark tense silence after the gasps die down and everyone stares at Z who's calmly smiling.

"C-C-C-Calem?" Diantha stutters.

Calem, however, doesn't immediately reply.

He merely smiles back as he calmly locks his eyes with Diantha's. The atmosphere immediately goes to one, rife with eerie tension.

"Hello, Diantha! Did you miss me?" Calem asks following which the entire stadium erupts with angry protests.

"You have some nerve coming out here in the middle of everyone and everything," Diantha snarls.

Calem's face bends forward as he chuckles upon hearing Diantha's words.

"I see you haven't lost your sense of humour. Besides, nerves are a matter of perspective, to be honest," Calem replies.

"Arrest him!" Diantha shouts while wagging a threatening finger at Calem.

Within moments several agents of the International Police Agency and Officer Jennys along with their Pokemon surround Calem from all sides. But what surprises Diantha is that he doesn't bear the slightest trace of fear in him. Instead, he simply smiles back, unconcerned by the officers surrounding him.

"Oh dear, it would appear that I'm in... trouble," Calem says in a plain as daylight, sarcastic tone.

"You'll pay for what you did to Ash and Serena. You will be imprisoned, tried and then... executed," Cynthia snarls.

"Hahaha," Calem harshly laughs before breathing a sigh.

"You have some nerve," Dawn snaps.

"Do I? I would like to think I do, thank you very much," Calem replies in his cocky tone.
