The ringing in my ears slowly faded as I stood up. My body felt sore all over as if I hadn't moved for ages. I looked at the ' Gym' or what used to be a gym. Debbie had scattered all over the area fire was all around with blood and gore everywhere. I sighed at the destruction. Slowly standing up I limped through to Jack who had fallen near the tree.
I crouched next to him and shook him
" Hey Jack wake up " I shook him but his face turned away revealing blood on his head
I checked his pulse to check if he is dead and fortunately he was alive but his pulse was too feeble.
I sighed and leaned next to the tree for support.
' At least that Sakaki is dead " I thought while another thought spoke to me about Iris and Berg.
" Well they died for a cause " I tried to convince myself
I closed my ears to get some sleep
Suddenly there was a loud crack. I looked around to see the source but couldn't find any again the voice came accompanied by a frustrated sound.
The voice came from the Ruined Gym in the centre where I hadn't noticed a large bell-like object which was making the noise
The bell slowly lifted revealing a man with torn clothes and a bleeding torso. I stood up with the support of the sword and brushed my fingers on the Pokeball.
" ARGGGGGHHH" The man heaved the bell away reviling Sakaki bleeding
Sakaki threw away Bronzong's body and looked at me
" You, You destroyed all my plans, my work, my life, my everything " His voice was filled with anger and pain he clenched his fists in anger
" I will MAKE YOU PAY " He yanked out a pokeball and threw it
A Venasaur appeared with a flash and roared out
" VENAAAAASAUR "
I pulled out Gerninja's pokeball.
Gerninja appeared with a flash pulling himself into a battle-ready stance.
" Gerninja use Toxic spikes " I called out even if the Venasaur was half poison it will have some effect
Gerninja threw a fist full of spikes as he rushed forward
" Venasaur use grassy terrain then Vine WIP" Sakaki yelled out
An aura of green spread forth appearing all over the battlefield the plants appeared all over the cobblestone path
A large thick wine flew forward and almost hit Gerninja.
" Gerninja uses Camouflage" I yelled this was a move which I hadn't ever used but mid-battle I had inspiration mixed with Protean this will be useful.
The vine hit Gerninja but didn't do the damage expected as Gerninja's type had changed to grass it slowly healed the damage even.
"Now use Aerial ace " I yelled briefly Gerninja's type changed to Flying to provide maximum damage output
Gerninja slashed downwards hiting the head which made Venasaur grunt in pain
" Venasaur go all out on these bastards use Solar beam " Sakai yelled
Gerninja's bud glowed with light
"Get away from there move back and use the Ice beam " I shouted hastily a point blanc Solar beam will be deadly for him
Gerninja swirly moved back with Extreme speed and opened his Maw and shot out a beam of Ice while Venasaur did the same it hit the centre making a large orb-like thing burst in a mix of green and white
this was pretty exciting
I could feel my blood pump at this battle this was one of the amazing battles where he had been at disadvantage and he had turned it to his advantage
Camouflage was a pretty neat move
" Gerninja full power force through" I screamed
Slowly the Ice beam crept forward as it overpowered the Solar beam It made contact with the Venasaur blowing it away and fainting him
I looked at Gerninja who was on his knees panting and returned him
" You did a good job, buddy " I murmured as he gave me a nod and returned to his ball
I looked up just in time as the full force of a truck hit me throwing me away.
I caught the person's wrist and flipped him with me. We went straight through the fire into the burning building that was near the gym.
I coughed as I tried to stand up pain landed through the rib.
" Cracked Rib " I coughed out as I stood up.
Sakai was now bare-chested he too was trying to stand up with his hands
" Ahhhh" With a cry, I threw myself at him with a vengeance and pushed him towards the side where the fire was burning.
I grunted in pain and clutched my sides this was horrible I couldn't think straight because of this.
A hand grasped the back of my head and plunged it onto the floor almost breaking my nose as blood poured out.
I groaned in pain as fire licked the side of my face. " This is what you get for ruining my dream, Maggot " he spat at my back as the crackling sound of fire rose in intensity.
I grasped for something and came across a vase near my hand just out of reach where Sakaki will notice
" Please leave me alone I had no part in it the other guy brought me with him " I whimpered in pain and curled my body inwards bringing near the vase with my legs
" You were a part of it you should have known who you dare mess with, " He said with an arrogant tone
I whimpered more but inside I wanted to slap this young master's ass but the guy was too powerful.
Sakaki turned to leave but I clenched the metal vase and hit him in his nuts
He shouted in pain and went on all four legs
I stood up with the support of the wall and clenched the vase I walked up to his head
" omae wa mou shindeiru motherfuker" I yelled with the force of anime
It bonked his head splitting it open and pouring out all the brain mess
I ran out of the building as fast as I could before there were popping sounds in the building like a battery exploding when but in the fire but with more noise.
" OH SHOULD HAVE STOLEN HIS POKEBALLS " I groaned noticing that the noise was of pokeball exploding
I walked back to Jake and pulled his ass inside an empty building before notifying Justin of my location.
I passed out after tieing my chest with a cloth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````~~~~
After two days the tension that had been created by Spacetime dissociation had dissolved and so did the Pokemon with it still some Pokemon escaped and formed their habitat around the abandoned city. The nurse centre had been restored and so did my Ribs that had been broken. Sakaki packed quite a punch and broke two of my ribs and left me with a fractured rib.
I went to check on Joy after Justin saved us and told her about the end of Sakaki. I had told everyone that Sakaki died with a beam falling on him and some days later they had retrieved his body that had been burnt but still had signs of his skull being broken which showed his cause.
Jack, unfortunately, met an early demise while we had reached him on time but he was too far gone and after Two days of Coma he passed away at night.
We held a funeral for him with his Pokemon which many people attended and even let his Pokemons attend it while all of his Pokemon mourned the most who mourned was His Munchlax who kept trying to go near his body even when he was put on a pyre. After that, his Pokemon were returned to His parents who had arrived for the moment. We talked for a while as I explained the cause and how he died
They had been in a mess while her mother cried clinging to me as I told my journey through the ruins and How he saved me.
Above all of this, there was a weird emptiness inside me and it didn't phase me much now that had been frightening While he had killed the man he couldn't quite feel like he killed someone.
Yes, there was acceptance as well as a hint of something else.
The city was in a hubbub while there was a cheerfulness that a threat had been averted while people also mourned their loses
I made my way to the Junkyard in Ward two where Justin was now residing. The junkyard was a huge breeding spot for Pokemons that arrived due to human fault. Pokemon like Magamite, Grimmer, Muk and rare Pokemon like Rotom too.
I walked up to Justin who stayed in an empty van's backside that was on a trash pile. I climbed the ladder to reach the Van.
" Hey how are you doing, " I asked shaking Justin
He stood up from the chair
" well contemplating my life goals and what to do next I guess " he shrugged and turned his gaze towards me
" Why not come with me to Star city," I asked casually
" What are you going there for, " He asked spinning in his chair
" Well you know look around maybe challenge the Gym," I said sceptically while he did know my name he wasn't going to fully share the plan and the fact that saw my face was a problem but nothing that he couldn't solve with some dye and other things.
" You are going to the Gym " He repeated
I nodded
" Well hate to break it to you but you are nowhere near to challenging the Gym, " He said in a matter-of-fact tone
" Who said I was going to challenge I was just going to look around" I smirked
" Ahh so maybe enter the Acadamy," He said
I nodded again
" Do you have a letter? " He asked
I pulled out a letter that had been given to me by Professor Greta. He raised an eye and looked it over then passed it back to me.
" Well I don't have one and I don't know how to get one " He sighed as he slumped
I pulled out another Letter this was the letter that Jack's Father gave me when he told me that he was a council member on the board.
It took me a little manipulation and he had caved in
After that, it took an hour of explanation while Justin asked me How what and why
After that, the conversation died down until Justin asked
" But isn't the Academy session next month and it will take a month and a half to make this journey on foot, " He asked his voice panicked
" Yes and that is why I came here " I pulled out a blueprint that I had made while I recovered it was nothing much of a rough design but it will suffice
I laid it on the table
Justin looked it over carefully analysing
" But Why does this require a Rotom to operate, " He asked looking at me
" Don't Ask this we have to get a Rotom first and then you will see. " I said standing up
Tomorrow we will go to Rotom hunting
