A Storm of Legendaries

Chapter 34: The Final Assault: Part 1

Chapter 34: The Final Assault: Part 1

I slid off of Flame's back into total mayhem. Also known as a whole horde of Team Flare Grunts and Admins. You ever been in a horde battle? This was that, times a gazillion, with trainers (and Pokémon too).

Soleil leaped off of Latias.

"Holy crap..."

"I second that." Roxie said, before charging into the mass with her Scolipede and pulling out her Garbodor's PokéBall.

"Hey, Aleksi!! OVER HERE!!"

"Was that Elesa?" I said out loud.

"You should go. Elesa doesn't enjoy waiting." Erika muttered before she disappeared into the mass of trainers. I saw a huge dome of white light erupt into the sky, sending enemy Pokémon and trainers flying. Soleil and I sprinted off towards Elesa, who was fighting off trainers with Burgh from a door.

"What the heck took you guys so long!?" Elesa yelled as her Zebstrika plowed into a Mightyena.

"LANGUAGE, ELESA!" Burgh exclaimed as his Leavanny Razor Leafed a Skrelp.

"BURGH, THIS IS A FREAKING WAR. WHO CARES ABOUT LANGUAGE!?"

"AHEM!!" I cleared my throat as Dusk leaped onto a Clauncher and began biting it. Essy popped out of her PokéBall and began throwing Pokémon into the air.

"Team Flare's base is behind that door! Get in, and confront Xerneas!!" Elesa yelled, ducking under an Ice Beam. I leaped over a HyperBeam, and the door opened. Essy returned to her PokéBall, and Dusk hopped in after me.

Before Soleil and Zorua could get in, Elesa pulled her back.

"Soleil, you can't go."

"Why!? Soleil's my best friend!" I yelled.

"The shard didn't react to Soleil, as I was informed, only to you. Therefore, Xerneas will only appear if you go alone."

"But-"

The door slammed shut in front of me, and the floor began going down.
Please, please, please, don't let me lose Soleil to this war.

♧♣♧

The door slid shut in front of me, and I could hear the gears turning, bringing it down.

"Why didn't you let me go!?" I screamed at Elesa. "How do you know Xerneas wouldn't appear!?"

"Laws of nature, Soleil. That's one thing we can't control." Elesa said.

"I'm going to fight." I dove into the crowd, grabbing Ampharos's PokéBall as Zorua leaped onto a Poochyena.
Please, please, please, don't let Aleksi fail in her mission.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

The elevator plummeted down. Dusk was hopping around in agitation.

"Um, breon!!"

"What is it, Dusk?"

"Umbreon!" He pointed his nose at a mark.

One that was strangely familiar... But I couldn't remember where it was from.

The elevator stopped. Dusk and I stared at each other.

I released Essy and Whirlpool (Because Whirlpool was a Water-Type and Essy could at least sit on my shoulder. I would've sent out ALL of my Pokémon, but they wouldn't fit in the elevator).

I hit the open button. White smoke pooled into the room, sending me and and my Pokémon into a coughing fit.

When it cleared, I stumbled out of the door with Whirlpool and Dusk staggering after me. Essy nearly slipped off of my shoulder.

"What the..."

The elevator led into a giant white-washed room. Tables with computers, random equipment, and papers were in the room, and scientists were furiously typing away. At the end, there was a black tinted window looking down on a chamber. It had 2 giant machines. One held the Coccoon of Destruction, and the other, the Mystical Tree. Malva was talking to a man with a Pyroar.

"Wait... That can't be..."

Whirlpool slipped on the floor, falling to the ground with a loud CRASH.

Malva whipped around as the scientists looked at us dumbfounded.

"Whirlpool! A little help?"

Whirlpool and Dusk leaped in front of me.

"So, it's YOU." Malva hissed. "That Fortree brat got in the way last time, but I assure you, this will be y-"

The man held up his hand. Malva blinked.

"But-"

"My members do not argue with me, no matter the circumstance. Go."

Even his voice was similar.

Malva nodded, shooting me a glare, and stalked out of a door to the side.

The man pulled out a PokéBall, releasing a Electivire.

"Thunder Wave."

The Electivire released a blast of blue sparks, paralyzing all 4 of us.

"Dammit!" I growled.

I do NOT suggest getting paralyzed. Not fun. AT ALL.

"I see the Leauge has sent their so-called savior, while their members fight my team. We outnumber you by many, yet you continue to fight. Team Flare appreciates bravery. Surrender, Aleksi Riverwind, and I will spare your friends."

"Not in a million years." I snapped.

"You are an impertinent child, aren't you? Very well. I will show you what Team Flare does to it's enemies. Even I will not spare your life." The man turned around, and my breath caught in my throat.

I may have hated him, detested him, but this was a new all-time low.

My uncle, my freaking UNCLE, was the leader of Team Flare!?
