Gold- A Pokémon Story

Chapter Thirty Two- The Rainbow Pokémon

Silver and I landed on the roof and I immediately felt a weird tingling on my feet. The entire roof was corrupted and it was spreading onto my feet.

Silver noticed as well but focused on calling out Unown. "Well look who it is. My embarrassment of a son and his little friend." Giovani spat.

Silver shook his head. "I don't care what you say, dad. My aunt is proud of who I am. I'm proud of who I am. And I won't let some stranger tell me not to be! Unown use Hidden Power on Ho-Oh!"

Unown's eye started to glow and it fired a thin white beam at Ho-Oh. The corruption seemed to fade away ever so slightly where the move made contact but it was shortly overtaken once more.

A burst of light signified that Giovani had sent out his Nidoking again. "I'm afraid that winning this battle won't be as easy as you hope. The corruption is under my control, and all who become corrupted are as well. Together with MissingTwo, we will have our revenge on this world! Ho-Oh, destroy the other boy. My son is mine." Did he say MissingTwo? He mentioned it before too! Isn't that the Pokémon who created all this corruption to begin with?

Silver sent out Crobat and looked back at me nervously. "You've got this Silv!" I cheered. Ho-Oh roared and I was forced to focus on the enemy I had to face off against with no Pokémon of my own while the corruption slowly made its way up my legs.

Ho-Oh began to flap its wings and I felt the powerful gusts blow against my body. How do I even begin taking on something this strong? I panicked while trying not to lose my footing.

I looked up and saw the Legendary Pokémon charging up a fire attack and ran off to the side. The attack exploded behind me and I barely managed to avoid it.

I felt the heat on my back as I ducked behind part of the tower's structure for cover. I looked around my cover to see Ho-Oh taking to the skies and one of the floorboards shaking slightly.

The floorboard shook again before bursting open. An Espeon drained of color jumped out and started looking around. The corruption had now spread my knees and I had even more to worry about.

Wait a second... Espeon? I did a double-take but I recalled what Jess had told me about the Kimono Girls being in the tower. Was my Espeon with them? Was that MY Espeon?

I got up and ran from my cover over to where she was. "Espeon! Espeon is that you?" The Pokémon looked at me curiously and then bared its fangs. "Espeon? Come on... it's me." I said to her but I felt a powerful force enclose me.

Before I knew what was happening, I had been flung off the roof of the building by Espeon's Psychic. I started falling but was suddenly rescued.

I looked to see what had caught my fall and it was none other than Raikou. I grabbed onto its neck and we landed on one of the parts of the building that jutted outward enough for it to land.

Raikou wasted no time leaping directly upward and to the roof of Bell Tower. It landed on the ground and Suicune landed next to it with Eusine on its back.

Eusine waved at me. "Gold! Glad I could get here in time! I found Suicune and Raikou had landed in the corruption and helped them, in exchange Suicune purified me and took me up here." Eusine explained. Voltorb bounced happily next to him and Suicune closed its eyes.

I felt the corruption on me vanish and when I looked at the tower it had seemingly all been purified.

Silver was currently battling Giovani, who was still corrupted but seemed to be doing well. Espeon ran over to me with its tail wagging.

"Espeon! I'm so happy you're here!" I said to her. "It's been a minute. You seem a lot stronger already." Espeon nodded proudly.

Ho-Oh roared from above and my attention was once again brought back to the corrupted Rainbow Pokémon.
