Chapter 58: VS. Dusknoir! Pt. 1
"Dawn!" Diamond shouted, slamming both of his fists on the elevator door, "Damn it." He stepped away from the door, leaning back against the wall as his eyes stared at the level indicator.
Apparently, the elevator was going up quite high to the twenty-fifth level. The building had a total of thirty floors including a roof with a retractable dome over head.
As Diamond was seemingly lost in thought, the elevator stopped on the twenty-fifth floor and the doors slowly slid open. For some off reason, this floor was dimly lit, almost having no light. The entire floor was abandoned.
Diamond walked out into the large hallway and looked left and then right. The hallway to the left had no light, but the hallway provided a little bit of light, so Diamond decided to head down that path. Peeking around the corner, Diamond noticed that this hall nothing more than a dead end leading to an employee bathroom. So, his only other alternative was to go down the dark hallway.
"Hmph, I've been in a battle with Spiritomb before, surely nothing can frighten me."
Slowly, Diamond crept down the darkened hall. Though he was not scared, Diamond stayed close to the wall in case any Galactic Goon would appear.
-----
Dawn sighed heavily as she was handcuffed by a pair of Galactic Goons. Her head hung low as she thought to herself, "How could Team Galactic possibly get a hold of handcuffs? It's not like they're a police organization. I don't understand..."
As soon as her thought ended, the Goons tossed her into a storage room and slammed the door shut. A little light bulb above head provided a light source, but not that much. Dawn leaned back against a shelf when she felt the presence of others in the room. She looked to her left and saw a pair of small figures lying on the ground.
"Uhh... eh.. excuse me? Are you two... alive?" Dawn asked, somewhat curious, worried, and spooked.
The male figure sat up, for he too was handcuffed. The female figure sat up as well, shaking her head which caused her pony tail to slap the boy in the face.
"Mira! You just slapped me in the face!" The boy yelled in a whiny tone.
"Sorry Jacob, I always do that when I wake up." Mira chuckled.
Dawn smiled a bit and said, "Mira? Jacob? What are you two doing here? How did you even get into the building?"
"Long story." Jacob muttered, "If I could only reach for Luxray's Pokeball we could get outta here."
Dawn nodded, "I've got time. It's not like we have a way of getting out of here at the moment, so..."
Mira nodded as well, "Well, Jacob and I saw Team Galactic Goons, like, all around Veilstone City and we know that you, Diamond, and Pearl are trying to stop them. But neither of you were around so we decided to infiltrate their headquarters..."
"So," Dawn sat up, "what happened?"
"Well, when we entered the building, we got up to the twenty-fifth floor," Jacob joined in, "and there was this creepy old guy wearing some crazy Galactic suit. Mira and I tried to double team him with Luxray and Kadabra but, he creamed up with his Duh...duh... I forget the name of it. It sounded french or something."
Mira nodded and said in a fluent accent, "Dusknoir. The evolved form of Dusclops."
Dawn sighed and lifted her head to the ceiling, "I just hope Diamond avoids that level then."
"You mean, he's here?" Jacob said excitedly.
"Yes, I pushed him into the elevator just as Team Galactic capture me."
Jacob beamed, "Then we'll get out of here! Diamond is the most intelligent guy I know. How he analyzes tough situations is remarkable! We're definitely getting out of here. No doubt about it!"
"I hope you're right." Dawn and Mira whispered in unison.
-----
"It seems like I've been walking forever." Diamond whispered as he reached an opening, circular hallway path. He stood in the middle of it and looked around, "Where's anything?" As he walked down the nearest hallway, feeling his way there, Diamond noticed a light source approaching him, "Hello?"
"Duhhhhsk Noooiiir..."
Diamond noticed a large, golden glowing face approaching him down the tight hall. Two large, gripping hands reached out at him, with Will-o-Wisping fire balls in both palms. It was then Diamond noticed the true face of the Pokemon when he looked into the Pokemon's crimson eye.
A voice came from beyond the Gripping Pokemon, "We have a new visitor, Dusknoir... Cyrus always said destroy new, unwanted visitors. Can't let the boss down, Dusknoir..."
Diamond took a step back into the circular hallway, but Dusknoir and the strange man followed suit. Reaching into his pocket, Diamond pulled felt for Rose's Pokeball, but accidentally released Pilot. The Yanma spread out its wings and fluttered overhead.
The man's appearance finally could be seen. He wore a run down, raggedy Galactic suit and pants. His boots were completely not shined and both big toes could be seen poking out of the boots. His hair consisted of red and brown streaks, was wild and long, going down his back and stopping at his buttocks. He was a hefty man, but looked like he could run a mile in a considerable amount of time. The odd man had the body of an offensive lineman in football.
His face was pale, almost as white as light. His entire body was completely... spherical, like a satellite.
Diamond blinked, "Who are you? Wh-what are you?"
"Oh, I once was a Commander until they say I went ballistic... but, I'm not ballistic am I? Am I? No.. no. No. I'm not crazy. I hate crazy and all of its synonyms. Two kids called me crazy and lucky for them, Saturn came and got them before I killed them. He says, 'Killing kids is bad for our future image, Asteroid', but I says to him, 'If people are capable of being murdered, they ought to be murdered."
Diamond remained audible.
"But Saturn is down in basement now, levels and levels away from us. I'm in killing mood now." Aster grinned, showing off his unflossed, unbrushed teeth, "There's no outrunning an Asteroid."
Diamond wet his lips as he looked up at Pilot, "This man is trying to kill me. Is he crazy?"
Aster inhaled deeply, "CRAZY!?"
"Oh man... Pilot let's fly!"
Pilot quickly grabbed hold of Diamond's upper body and flew in the opposing direction. He was headed for the stairwell. However, Aster and Dusknoir were hot on their tail. Dusknoir fired a series of Will-o-Wisp's at Diamond and Pilot, but managed to only hit a few parts of the ceiling and the uppermost portion of the wall, melting a few pieces of it.
Diamond looked back as Pilot flew and noticed how close Dusknoir was to them. He looked up at Pilot, "To the roof, we need to get out in the open air where it favors us, alright?"
Pilot silently agreed with Diamond once the reached the stairwell. From this point on, it was a straight shot to the roof. Diamond did not look back as Aster and Dusknoir remained closely behind them as they were lured to the roof.
-----
Upon reaching the roof, Diamond was quick to noticed that the retractable roof was not up. Therefore, they could see the entire city surrounding them. Lights were flashing on and off, indicating the night life was at its peak. People were completely oblivious to what Team Galactic was doing at the moment, so Diamond felt that it was up to him and his comrades to take down the evil organization. Alas, Pearl was in the hospital, Dawn was in locked up in a storage room, and Gold, Silver, and Crys were on duty in Sunyshore City. It was up to Diamond. In the past, Diamond would have had no problem in this situation: taking down a foe by himself with no thought of anyone else but himself. But now, he needed his friends more than ever.
Pilot landed Diamond on the ground as the boy turned to face the stairwell where Aster and Dusknoir would eventually appear out of. Pilot flew right in front of Diamond, ready to attack.
"Stand guard, Pilot. Attack as soon as they ascend." Diamond said fiercely.
But, Aster and Dusknoir never appeared. Diamond looked around, confused about what was going on.
"What the hell? They were just following us a few minutes ago and now they're gone?"
...
...
...
"Shadow Punch!"
Diamond turned on his heel as he heard the attack call come from behind him. Just then, Dusknoir's large body came from out of no where and punched Pilot clean across the face and sent the Yanma hurling down off the side of the roof without consciousness. Diamond ran to the side of the building as he watched his Yanma fall from the roof of Team Galactic's Head Quarters.
"Pilot, NO! PILOT!" Diamond reached out for his Pokemon, but he knew it was of no use.
Dusknoir then came after Diamond, but before it could attack, Diamond dove down head first as he jumped off the building himself. He was that driven to save Pilot at any cost. As he descended, Diamond stretched out his arms to grasp Pilot.
"Pilot! You've saved me many times! I'm coming to save you!"
Once Diamond's hands touched Pilot as the two fell from the roof, Pilot's body immediately started to glow in a bright white light...
