Chapter 28: Fight for Kalos: Part 5
>Aleksi<
Blinding white light and intense heat scorched the area around me.
However, it didn't seem to be hitting me that hard.
The yelling that must've be happening up above or on the sides had been muffled into a soft murmur.
The light and heat lasted for what seemed like centuries.
Eventually, the heat and light faded slowly, and my eyes began to pick out people outside as the smoke faded as well.
All the grunts were gone, and so was Malva, if the smoke field was disappearing.
I squinted.
'Looks like Soleil's OK. Roxy and Iris are riding a Dragonite. Bonnie's riding a Zebstrika. Phoebe's standing next to her Dusknoir... Huh? Why have Aaron and Bugsy grabbed Wallace and are trying to drag him away from the smoke field? And where's Winona?'
I stood up unsteadily as Soleil launched herself off Latias.
"Oh my Arceus, that was intense!!" Soleil screamed.
"Your burns don't look bad at all." Roxy said, picking a string on her guitar.
"Something-or someone-protected me." I said uncertainly, rubbing my eyes.
"Here." Phoebe handed me a couple of Rawst Berries.
"I thought this was only for Pokémon?" I said, turning over one.
"Your Umbreon was burned too. And they also work on humans." Phoebe said.
I tossed one at Dusk,who snapped it out of the air and started chewing with gusto, and popped one in my mouth.
"Hey, this is act-"
"WALLACE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?"
"Is that Aaron?" Roxy said.
"LET GO!! BUGSY, WHY ARE YOU HELPING HIM!?!?"
"THE FASTER YOU STOP, THE FASTER I CAN GO TO FIND THE GUY WHO COST FALKNER HIS LIFE AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM!!!" Bugsy yelled.
"What are you doing!?" Iris yelled, running over.
This distraction, sadly, helped Wallace shake off Aaron and Bugsy. But not before Bugsy socked him in the arm, and they all started yelling and hitting each other.
"WELL!!!" Phoebe yelled sarcastically as Bonnie, Roxy, Iris, Soleil, and I all sweatdropped.
Then I smelled the smoke.
"Is something still burning?" I asked.
"No. Not that I- Um... MAYYYBEE...?" Roxy said, pointing at something behind us with her guitar plucker shakily.
Bonnie, Soleil, Iris, Phoebe, and I all turned around slowly, then screamed.
This caught the boys attention pretty quickly, it seemed, because they ran over and stoped socking each other.
"Is that...!?" Bonnie squeaked.
A gray and yellow cap with half-melted goggles and burnt edges lay on the ground in front of us.
"Where's Winona!?" Roxy yelped, turning around rapidly.
"I see more smoke over there!" Iris called, pointing to a large rock.
We all immediately ran over.
"WINONA!!" Phoebe shrieked.
Now, I knew why the heat hadn't affected me much.
Winona must've taken the brunt of the Blast Burn.
Smoke was curling off her clothes and hair.
*Cough* "Well, I got pretty beat up, didn't I?" She laughed weakly.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? AM I REALLY THAT IMPORTANT!?" I screamed.
"I'm not an idiot." Winona grumbled.
"YOU LITERALLY JUST SIGNED A DEATH WARRANT!! THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL SURVIVE THAT, WINONA!!!" Iris yelled.
"EXCUSE ME!?!?"
"Was that Wallace?" Winona winced.
"SOMEBODY SAY YOU'RE PLAYING A PRACTICAL JOKE!!" Wallace yelled. Aaron and Bugsy came running after him.
"Oi, Wallace! Wait up!! What's going on?" Bugsy snapped. "If we hurry, we can catch those grunts, and I'll wreak havoc on the guy who cost Falkner his life!!"
"Wreak havoc later." Roxy said, groaning. "This is not good..."
"I hear ya." Phoebe grumbled.
"Eh?" Soleil, Bonnie, and I inquired at the same time.
"First Steven, now Winona..."
"COULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S THE BIG STORY HERE!?" I shrieked.
"Look, Wallace has never been one to play the leadership role solo, and never will be. Giving leaders advice, certainly. That's a part of what he did in the Hoenn crisis 3 years ago. And now this turned up. First, his closest childhood and on friend and confidant, revealed to have sacrificed himself to let the rest of them escape. Now, this..." Phoebe gestured half-heartedly.
"Let's go, guys." Iris trudged off sadly with Roxy behind her.
Phoebe and Bonnie both cast glances at the scene behind them before following Iris and Roxy.
Even Bugsy and Aaron listened.
Who else is going to lose their life in this battle?
