Three Years

Chapter Five - Next Action

Hello guys!

Okay, this time, I am really ultra super late. And I do not have an excuse. I mean, this chapter was written and corrected for a very long time. I even posted it on an other platform in February. I was just too lazy to update it here. I am horrible, I am terribly sorry.

This chapter is a bit special because, in this one, I start to change a bit the canon. Not a lot, these changes do not impact the stories of our Dexholders, but there are some little changes. This chapter also concludes the first attack and with it the first part of the first part of this fanfic! If you want to know, the first part of the story, Kalos, is itself divide into three parts. And the fanfic will contain five or six parts like the Kalos one, so it will be a long story.

Also, since this chapter, the fanfic is beta-read by the amazing Hilda from the Pokespe Amino! Thanks to her for all of her work.

And now I let you read this new chapter!

oOo

     The Tower of Mastery was this kind of building which made you feel terribly little, and to be burdened with something which was way more bigger than you. By looking at this majestic building, you could feel the history, the responsibility, and how you were insignificant in this world. And it was not only the Tower. Even the sea, which circled the building, reminded you of how you were just a microscopic part of the universe.

     X was intimidated by the Tower, and the big doors, still closed, in front of him. This uncomfortable feeling did not leave him, since he realized that he had to go at this place, a short time after waking up. He swallowed. He wanted to run away. He knew this feeling was normal, notably because of the reason of his coming. Mainly because of it. But because of that, he could not give up and leave, not when he was in front of him, in front of this majestic building that was too big for the old man who lived in it. He had to finish this unpleasant and uncomfortable task.

     The warm hand of Yvonne gripped his right shoulder. His childhood friend was next to him, with a smile which reassured him. She knew that he did not like what he had to do, and she was with him, to support him. It was also a reason why he could not give up and did it later or never. He deceived her so many times before, but he could not do it once again. Not after failing to catch the attackers of the laboratory, the day before. But it was hard to do it, to advance and enter in the building. And with only a few words, she eliminated his last hesitations.

"Let's go, X."

"Yes."

oOo

"X! X! Wake up!"

     The Kalosian boy partially opened his eyes, and closed them immediately. Too much light, too much noise... He just wanted to stay in this comfortable state which was called sleeping. He just wanted to stay a little longer all alone under the warm duvet.

"X! I know you are awake. Come on!"

"Wait, Miss, your friend..."

"He's not going to melt! X, come on, open your eyes!"

     He opened his eyes, slowly, and step by step. The blurred world in front of him became, after a short time which looked like hours, sharp, and he could see the faces of his childhood friend with Katell and another person he did not know, a bald man with big glasses and a surprisingly and strange leafy mustache. This last one immediately moved the two women and started to examine him, his breath, his eyes. After all these tests, he finally said that everything was good, and that he would not have after effects of the attack.
