"Pumpkin, no!"
Qeen shouted in worry and frustration seeing Hydreigon lose its mind and unneededly using Hyper Beams to attack Furret.
Not only that, but Hydreigon didn't pay any attention to where its Hyper Beams were reaching at.
"Qeen, control your pokemon. Or you will be punished heavily later."
The Executive glared towards Qeen and said in a cold tone. He was already angry and seeing how his own side was creating more problems, he was losing his mind.
"Metagross, Confusion!"
He commanded loudly. Metagross flew in the sky and released a powerful telekinetic force to inflict damage. In critical situations, the opponent has a high chance of becoming stunned or confused.
Boom!
Directly hit by Confusion, Aerodactyl screeched and seemed to be visibly stunned for a few seconds.
"Now, Hyper Beam!"
Metagross immediately condensed a huge energy ball in front of it and launched the enemy beam at the dazed Aerodactyl.
Boom!
Before the Hyper Beam could near Aerodactyl, a bright light flashed and smashed at the Hyper Beam causing an explosion in the air.
It was Ice Beam.
On the ground, Suicune maintained a compoused expression and reacted quickly to Metagross's every action.
"Ahhh! Fuck this! Come out motherfuker! Metagross, no more mercy! Use Meteor Beam! Kill them all! Destroy everything!"
Away from the battle, as soon as he heard the name of that particular move, Kota rushed out of hiding while shouting.
"Attack Metagross now! Don't let it gather energy!"
Unfortunately, Metagross had put on an even stronger shield around itself for protection as it was gathering as much energy as possible from the cosmos.
Meteor Beam was one of the most powerful energy beams amongst all the energy beams. Definitely a top tier move.
But to use it, the pokemon must gather enough energy from the space only then will it work. And the energy required was enormous.
Since only Suicune and Aerodactyl were free because Charizard, Furret and Croconaw were busy dealing with other pokemon, they charged at Metagross.
"Bastard! So it is you!"
The Executive roared in fury. Qeen and Jenny were shocked, then their faces turned red in rage.
Not once, not twice, but continuously. They were always stopped or disturbed by Kota, and now it had become frequent.
"That kid! Him again!"
"Whoreson! Piece of Shit! You damaged by face you fucker!"
Qeen gritted his teeth and clenched fists. Jenny wanted to choke Kota to death and dance on top of his dead body.
Kota didn't lose himself. He still stood far from them, and crossed his arms over his chest. His face was completely hard and cold.
His eyes showed no emotions. If today was the day he started killing again, so be it. Let him return to his old self.
Boom!
Suicune and Aerodactyl attacked with various beams and moves but they were struggling to even slow down Metagross's progress in gathering energy.
They needed Charizard's help.
* * *
Bam!
Charizard banged his flaming fist on Blastoise's shell, leaving behind deep cracks. From behind Dragonite used Crunch on Charizard's neck.
Splash!
The flesh on the neck part was bit and torn away, blood splattered on Dragonite's face.
"Chaa!"
In pain, Charizard roared and grabbed Dragonite. Then he lifted Dragonite entirely and slammed on the ground. Splitting apart the ground into parts.
Puff!
On his face, he was attacked by Hydro Pump. Charizard's hot burning body and the cold water, with the contact of these two, white vapors like fog were produced around him.
"Draa…!"
Dragonite found it difficult to get up, most of the bones in its body were broken or shattered so far. Just as it wanted to roll to the side away from Charizard, a red glowing foot stomped on its face.
Bam!
Crack!
Charizard stomped so heavily that Dragonite's head was crushed, its skull shattered and all the brain matter splashed out.
With that, the Executive's Dragonite died.
Blastoise aimed its cannons at Charizard with teary eyes and screamed. Dragonite and it were very close, they were fighting alongside each other for years.
Both Charizard and Blastoise locked their eyes, then as if an imaginary signal was fired, they attacked with their everything.
Hydro Pump!
Flamethrower!
Water and Fire. The two most iconic sides.
Boom!
Even though the white fog had covered and surrounded them, the two didn't stop.
"Chaaa!"
Charizard stomped his ground and erupted with even more fire power and pushed Blastoise back. Clearly, Blastoise was losing.
Boom!
As the last explosion occurred, Blastoise couldn't continue to attack with Hydro Pump anymore, and got engulfed in hot burning flames.
"Blastoise!"
In agony, it screamed and called for help unfortunately no one was there to provide support with Dragonite already dead.
Woosh!
Charizard leaped in the air and then dived down towards Blastoise at extreme speed. His entire body was covered in flames and smoke.
BOOM!
He struck Blastoise, its shell broke and shattered, and the inner body was revealed bare to the world.
Then Charizard took a deep breath while pinning Blastoise down on the ground with his hands and feet. Fire collected inside his mouth which he then fired at Blastoise's face.
Few seconds later, Blastoise's head melted away in a splashy fluid-like form.
* * *
"Hurry!"
Kota couldn't help but be nervous as Metagross had collected almost sufficient energy for the Meteor Beam.
"Aeee!"
With his loud cry, Aerodactyl flapped his wings and confronted Metagross.
"What are yo-!"
A faint halo surrounded Aerodactyl, which then immediately glowed more brightly and gave off intense heat.
His body seemed to slowly catch flames in the air, the wind around him distorted and whirled in rapid pace.
"Metagross!"
By this moment, all the eyes were towards the sky.
Two bodies, shined with glitters. The energy they released as excess was just mind blowing.
Kota stepped back in fear, because he knew what was coming, wasn't going to be just ordinary moves.
"Get back! All of you!"
He shouted at his other pokemon and alerted them beforehand. Charizard stomped the ground and glided towards the trees.
Furret and Croconaw left their opponents without any second thoughts, and rushed away from the battleground.
Suicune tapped on the ground surface, and directly appeared in front of Kota, shielding him from the next upcoming impact.
The light coming off from the two bodies was so bright that nobody could watch with their eyes properly.
"Aeee!"
Aerodactyl pushed the winds behind him and flew towards Metagross. He was ready to finish the battle even if it cost him his life.
At least, he would be able to take the enemies with him.
Bam!
Metagross focused all the energy into a ball and fired it towards Aerodactyl as quickly as it could. The shield around it had severely depleted.
As the Meteor Beam near Aerodactyl's ultimate Giga Impact, the particles between them were all vaporized.
On collision.
Boom!
An explosion occurred. Unfortunately for Kota; Metagross, the Executive, Qeen, Jenny and their pokemon, all teleported before the explosion could engulf them.
There, up in the sky.
Inside the ball of flames and smoke, in the explosion, Aerodactyl gave one last glance towards Kota.
'I disappointed him…'
His body tore apart into dust and blasted away with the waves of sound, light, heat and wind.
* * *
Some time later, the ground which now had a huge crater, showed itself after the smoke had blown off.
At the center of the crater, Kota stood with his eyes closed. His face was stiff and his hands were clenched tightly into fists.
Suicune walked to his side and stopped. Charizard, who was bleeding from his neck, quietly flew beside them.
Soon, Furret and Croconaw joined as well.
It was tragic.
He had expected that one of his pokemon, or more, would someday die in battles. Still, his heart felt the sadness.
It couldn't accept it yet.
The veins in his hands were pulsating, his whole body was shaking.
He took in deep breaths, wiped the dust and ashes from his face, and calmed his raging mind.
"Chaa…"
Charizard extended his right arm and grabbed Kota's shoulder. Right now, they couldn't do anything about Aerodactyl's futile sacrifice.
"I can feel it now, the me which was missing for a long time."
Kota opened his eyes, there was clarity and a clear understanding of his mindset. He turned around and started walking towards the forest.
His pokemon followed behind his footsteps in silence.
* * *
"Hahah! It's delicious!"
"Celebi, thank you so much!"
Ash and the group gathered the tasty berries from the tree and ate until they were full.
Boom!
They heard the extremely loud explosion from very far away. Alarmed, they acted cautiously.
"What could that be? Is it a team rocket?"
"Could be. Those bad guys!"
Misty showed her angry face thinking about the things that the team rocket could be doing in this wonderful forest.
"It will be better if we stay as far as possible from them for the time being. Once we get out of the forest, we should inform the police immediately."
Brock said in a very serious tone. Ash and Sam nodded their heads in agreement.
The night was approaching, and the group had to prepare for camping.
