Three Years

Chapter Eight - Chase in Lumiose City

Hello guys !

Not too much late for once right ? So here we go with the eighth chapter of this fanfic !

Also it is time for a little advertising ! I recently started to be active on my Twitter account and I will probably speak about the fanfic, with a tweet every time I post a chapter, a preview of the next chapter one week before, as well than posting my art and other fanfics related stuff. So if you are interesting to know more about my other projects, you can just go here :  https://twitter.com/LiYada10?s=09

Sorry for this advertising moment, and now it is time for the chapter !

Once again, thanks to Hilda from the Pokespe Amino who have beta-read this chapter. 

oOo

     X suddenly realized. If Ama changed his behavior after receiving a message, it meant that he probably made all of the fuss only to get their attention on him, while his partners would do another thing. And if it was that...

Where were the others, and what were they doing?

oOo

     X got to the window with difficulty, because of all the broken devices. He tried to take a look outside, but it was useless, he could see nothing, let alone the way Ama used to escape. He had to look around to find him, or his partners, or all of them. But where did he go? And where were the others? Were they still in the building, or already running outside? If he wanted to find them, he had to ask for help. And he knew the perfect Pokémon who could help him.

     After opening one of his Poké Ball, X asked the monster he once got from Gurkinn, "Hey, Garma, there is this guy who ran away after doing bad things, and it would be really great if you can find him, so can you go look after him?"

     With a prideful smile and a little jeer, the Gengar left and disappeared into the shadows. The Loner had a little smile. The dark purple Pokémon was still so prideful, but he was powerful, and X knew that he could trust him. For now, he had just to let the Gengar handle Ama's escape, and looking for the rest of the terrorists. And in that case, maybe... Maybe he would finally be able to find Korrina.

     After a last sigh, he finally turned back in order to leave the room... Only to find that the strange man who fought Ama before had vanished.

"Where did that man go?" X asked Clemont, surprised.

"I don't know... While you were speaking with your Gengar, he left. I asked him what he was doing, but he only answered that he had something to check, and he disappeared into a room. It looks like he somehow already knew the building."

"Yes... But we still have no idea of who he is. Maybe he is one of them? Did he went to the right or to the left?"

"To the left. But I don't know if he went back to the room where we first met him or if he left the building. I mean, if I remember right, the hall is also in that direction."

"I see... Well, for the moment, we should just try to go out, and see if we can find something."

oOo

     The duo left the room and returned to the corridor. It was still terribly dark. The light was still out. Next to him, X could hear Clemont muttering, "It's strange..." while looking around.

"What is strange?" X asked.

"Ah... It's probably stupid to think about that, but I wonder why there is no light here?"
