Lewellan

Ariel, Serena, and I were still in New Zork City at a local restaurant planning our trip to River Town. “Hmm…according to the map, this route’s the best for getting to River Town.” said Ariel. “But the next IFL pay per view match isn’t for another month. So we’ll get to River Town, but Brian and Rain won’t be there yet.” said Serena. “So we’ll make a few pit stops along the way. Plenty of places to visit along the way, right?” I said. “Your adventurer side’s telling you that?” asked Ariel. “Yep. Pretty much.” I said laughing. “Pyro…always looking at the good side of things. No wonder my parents and sister were quite smitten of him before we left. Maybe…just maybe…” chuckled Serena in her mind. “Something funny Serena?” “Huh? Oh, uh…no, nothing at all. I was just thinking how happy my parents and sister were when they met you…and for allowing me to join you on this adventure of yours.” “Yeah…I was ecstatic how your dad thought I was your boyfriend.” I said laughing. “Yeah…least…its not a far off thing for me.” “What was that Serena?” “Huh? Uh…nothing.” she said, with her cheeks blossoming red. Ariel chuckled a bit. “She likes him.” she thought.

We were walking and checking out the large skyscrapers and the bunch of Pokemon walking about. “Say Pyro, how were you able to see that Gengar yesterday? Charmeleon can‘t learn Foresight, and even if you could, Foresight would show the invisible Pokemon to everyone.” “I’m not sure Ariel. My head started to hurt, then I saw something that looked like a shady image.” “Sounds so mysterious. Do Draconians have that power?” asked Serena. “None that I know of. There are stories of the 2 legendary dragons that helped to end the Great Pokemon War centuries ago, but-.” I suddenly stopped. “Pyro, why did you stop?” “Look over there.” I pointed to a few Sableye. “Ok, so they’re Sableye. What’s the big deal?” “Back in my homeland, there were a bunch of them working for a Rayquaza named Draco. They caused a lot of trouble for us. And…something about those Sableye leave me on edge.” “Look. They’re going somewhere.” We notice them scurrying away. We nodded and went to go follow them, unaware we were being followed too.

We followed the Sableye to a factory that appears abandoned. We made our way inside. “Wow, what type of factory is this?” asked Serena. “Probably the producing type. In the past, New Zork was a factory town years ago. The city was overrun with factories and it ruined the air quality. When the mayor saw how much pollution these factories were giving off, he went to close some of these factories in an attempt to improve the air around the city. It took a few years, but soon enough the air was good again and New Zork was able to prosper into a metropolitan town.” “You know your history Ariel.” “Well, if I plan to be the world’s best chef, I must study the big name cities.” “Ssh. I hear something you two.” We heard some machinery and continued onward.

We came to a room and quickly found cover behind some crates. We saw the Sableye and a Weavile. “Hey, doesn’t that look like the Sneasal we saw back in Black Forest?” asked Serena. “That’s a Weavile. Why are they all here? Some sort of Dark Pokemon gathering?” said Ariel. “Hmm…good of you to come. The boss is expecting to call us now.” said the Weavile. They gathered at a large projection screen is lowered. It comes on and appearing on it was a black Rayquaza. “No way! It’s Draco?! But…how did he escape from Prison Island?!” I thought. “Sir, mass production has been completed and the trucks are now en route to the rendezvous point.” “Good. With New Zork’s factories still being operable even after all these years, making the gem in mass quantities was easier than I envisioned. Make sure to destroy all evidence of the factory. We don’t want any ‘inconveniences’ to get in the way of my plan.” Will do Lord Draco.” The screen goes off. “I can’t believe it. How did Draco escape. And…is my dad in danger again?” I thought.

“Hmm…you 3 can come out of hiding from behind those crates. I know your back there.” said the Weavile. We were stunned. “I said get out from back there!” He fired an Ice Beam at us, but we got from behind the crates as they were frozen solid. We were then surrounded by the Sableye. “Well…this wasn’t in the plan.” said Serena. “Well well, we have 3 little mice.” said the Weavile. “Well sir, there technically not mice. Well, the Nidoqueen does seem mouse-like, but the Bayleef and Charmeleon are more reptilian.” said one of the Sableye. “It’s a figure of speech you idiot.” “Okay, who are you and what’s your connection to Draco?” I said. “Ah, you’re the Charmeleon Draco’s interested in.” “Huh? What do you mean?” “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Black Claw, and I’m Draco’s right hand man. 2 weeks ago my crew and I help liberate our lord from being taken to that island prison.” “So…he escaped before going there. Great…” “Um Pyro, mind explaining what you 2 are talking about?” asked Ariel. “Draco was stealing a tablet said to hold magical powers. When he was about to slay my dad, I stepped in and went to attack him, but Draco used the Tablet of Osiris as a shield and I end up shattering it. Draco was send to Prison Island…but seemed he escaped.” “Hehehe, well…Draco’s now seeking you out. But he won’t need to as I’m gonna take you out.Sableye, take care of the other two. Leave the lizard to me.” “Great…just great.” I thought.

The Sableye went for Ariel and Serena. I went for them but Black Claw got in front of me. “Whoa! This guy’s fast?!” I thought. “Sorry, but you and I have a battle.” Black Claw tries to Slash me, but I countered with Slash attacks of my own. “Seriously, you think you all can corral me?” Ariel pounds the ground, sending dirt and cracking the floor in the direction of the Sableye. “My Rock Smash may not affect you directly, but it can affect you all in a different way.” Serena was whacking the Sableye with her Vine Whip. “I may not like to battle much, but I will defend my friends.” black Claw and I were in an Ice Beam-Flamethrower stalemate. “This guy’s strong.” I thought. “The heat’s getting to you, isn’t it? Let me ‘chill‘ you out.” Hs Ice Beam gained power and overtook my Flamethrower and I became a popsicle. “Hahahahaha! A Fire-type Pokesicle.” My eyes glowed and I shattered the ice. ‘Hmm…your better than I thought. Well, time to finish this.” Ariel pounds the ground with Earth Power, toppling the Sableye around her. “Well, that was good. Serena, how are you holding up?” Serena Razor Leafed her Sableye group. “I’m okay, but I think we need to-.” “Gaaaaaaaa!!!” I was sent flying into some crates. “Pyro!!!” I was able to get up and Serena and Ariel came to my aid. “Ugh…I’ll be fine. But this guy…he’s strong.” “Well, since we’re reached the endgame, I think I’ll make you all into popsicles.”

“Not so fast!” We heard glass shattering and looked up and saw a black creature coming from the ceiling. She lands in front of us. “Y’all stand back and leave him to me.” said the creature. “Whoa. It’s an Umbreon.” said Ariel. “Yeah…but…why is she…?” “Gah…you again. This time I‘ll put an end to you like I should have.” Black claw went to strike her with Slash attacks, but she just dodges them like if they were nothing. “Slow as usual.” She hammers him with Hidden Power. “A Hidden Power. Sweet.” said Ariel. “Care to give up?” “Gah…this isn’t over.” Black Claw takes out a concealed remote, presses the button, and suddenly we hear explosions. “Hahaha! Let’s see you get out of this! Sableye, disappear!” They ran away. “This building’s coming down on itself. Let’s get out of here! “ said the Umbreon. We ran for the exit and manage to escape before the factory collapsed into a heap of rubble. “Well, there goes any trace of those guys involvement with…whatever it was they were doing.” said Ariel. “Hey, who are you anyway?” I asked. “Geez Pyro, forget a friend you haven’t seen in years and you’re all ‘who are you’…but then again…you were the forgetful one.” She turns her head slightly and looks at me. “It’s your old pal…Lewellan.” “Lewellan? Ah, Lewellan. Of course. How could I forget?” “Well, trouble seems to never forget you.” she said laughing. “I…guess they’re old friends.” said Ariel. “Guess so…but why is she blue on the ring marks? Umbreon are usually yellow, not blue.” Meanwhile, black claw and his crew were a good distance away. “Grrr…how dare she…?” “It was ordered by Lord Draco.” “Huh? Little Jay? Why are you here you crazy Honchkrow?” “Well Blackie, Lord Draco sent me, his left-hand man, to see if you were able to go along with the plan.” “I was Jay, but why did he sent Lewellan? Hw knows how much I despise her.” Little Jay laughed. “What’s so funny?” “Look, the master needs us to continue with his plan, and he needs a spy to make sure that Charmeleon’s new found power is growing ever so steadily. After all, that Gengar did provide the necessary information Draco needed. Let Lewellan play her mind games with the Charmeleon.” chuckled Little Jay and he flew away. “Grr…fine. But if Lewellan and I cross paths during this operation…she’ll be one ice cold Umbreon.” said Black claw and he sliced a steel pipe in two.
