I doubt that anyone will like this chapter. (I am just too pessimistic)
Chapter 5: The Team Aqua Takeover
Having dominated Team Magma, the Elite Four set their sights on the next target: Team Aqua. Drake had sent Glacia to Lilycove to acquire the team.
Where can that base be? Glacia questioned, glancing around the city and looking at her Pokenav. It must be here somewhere
She was walking in a calm metropolis near the sea. There are plenty of houses and buildings, yet it seems so peaceful. The ice master was walking across the shoreline. Sand was scattered across the ground and there were small waves crashing down on the ground. She kept walking until she saw an isolated rock near the edge of Lilycove. There was a door painted grey in an attempt to camouflage it from people, but Glacia saw through this trick.
Target found. Glacia chuckled as she threw a Pokeball. Go, Walrein!
A cerulean seal with large fangs and white hair jumped into the ocean where it was floating around.
Walrein, use Sheer Cold to shatter that door! Glacia pointed to the camouflaged door. Walrein, too, had detected the elusive entrance.
Walrein inhaled all the cold air it could collect and converted them into ice. It swam against the door and opened its mouth. Subzero air were forced from its mouth, freezing the door.
Walrein, open that door using Hyper Beam!
Walrein opened its mouth as plasma particles were slowly being collected and compressed to a small neon blue sphere. Then it exhaled, firing the beam. The recoil had sent it back. The blast flashed across the blue, calm sea and crashed against the frozen door. It was sent flying as a base was revealed. Walrein swam to Glacia and she got on it. Then, the fanged seal eventually made its way to the base.
Glacia stepped on the concrete ground after she entered the Team Aqua hideout and put away the Pokenav. She observed her surroundings.
The ground was concrete and there was a small lake that led to the exit. The walls had repeating Team Aqua insignias and there was five staircases located behind Glacia. Team Aqua goons were circling around the first part of the area.
Walrein, come here. Glacia said, pointing to the floor.
The seal swam and dragged itself to the ground.
Walrein, use Blizzard! Glacia ordered, pointing to a vent up above her.
Walrein looked up and inhaled the air. Icy wind emerged from its mouth and the vent absorbed it.
Archie will have a big surprise if he sees his base Glacia murmured, deviously smirking while putting on a dark brown snow coat.
~MEANWHILE~
Emerald opened his eyes, regaining his consciousness. He looked around and found himself in a dark prison cell. In the front of the cell, there was a long hallway that vanished into the darkness.
He looked around his prison to see if there was an object that could help him escape. All he found was a gnarled wooden bench and nothing more. He pretended to be unconscious as he heard footsteps from the dark hall. The person was revealed as soon as she came close. The torch around his cell block revealed the person as Phoebe! She was carrying one gold key.
Psst! She hissed to Emerald. Emerald lifted up his head and saw Phoebe. Stand up! She said obtrusively. Emerald lifted himself up and saw Phoebe unbolt the lock for his prison cell. It swung to the right and opened.
Why are you doing this? Arent you with them? Emerald asked Phoebe. Phoebe put her index finger in front of her lips, telling Emerald to be quiet. Come with me and Ill explain.
Emerald and Phoebe walked down the dark hallway. They were both quiet until Phoebe blurted out, Im a spy.
What?! Emerald said and looked at Phoebe with confusion.
I was assigned by the Pokemon Police Unit to go undercover as an Elite Four member. Its my job to find out what theyre up to and stop them, She said, And youre going to help me, Emerald. My first order of business to get your Flygon back so we have a better chance of winning against them. Are you in?
Im in! Emerald replied enthusiastically, clenching his fists eagerly.
~BACK TO THE TEAM AQUA BASE~
That ought to do the job. Glacia said. Walreins Blizzard attack froze most of the base, along with its grunts. Now there are no more obstacles left except for the leader of the team.
Glacia put off her jacket and walked up the center staircase. After series of stairs, Glacia saw a light at the climax of the stairway. She saw a steel door as she approached the top of the stairway. Glacia grasped the doorknob and turned it left side up, unlocking it. She entered and observed the room.
It was an arena to train Team Aqua goons. There were two concrete platforms facing opposite of each other. The rest of the room is filled with water. Glacia stepped up to the nearest platform and saw the door across her open. The leader of Team Aqua entered.
He has a blue bandana with the Team Aqua symbol found at the front. He was wearing a black jacket along with his dark pants and wore a gem necklace.
So youre the one who froze my base! He erupted with anger.
Hehe Soon to be mine! Glacia retorted as she threw a Pokeball.
A spherical Pokemon hovered above the oceanic arena. It had pointy black ears and all it had on its face was its big blue eyes and its mouth a tad below it.
Archie threw his Pokeball too. The Pokemon was not known yet as it was diving below Glalie.
Bad choice, Archie. Glacia warned.
Well see who made the bad choice. Sharpedo, now!!! He shouted.
A Pokemon jumped from the sea and aimed at Glalie. It was a rugged blue-green shark with a yellow star located in its forehead. Its eyes were bloody red.
It flew to Glalie, with its fangs ready to crunch it.
Glalie, Ice Beam! Glacia shouted.
Your feeble attempt to freeze my Sharpedo has failed! Sharpedo, use your fins to get away from the blast!
Glalie was covered by a snow white aura. It had spun counterclockwise, its aura shooting out an ice-cold blast. As it headed towards Sharpedo, Sharpedo closed its mouth and adjusted its roughened fins to the right. Sharpedo darted to the right and dived under.
Your Ice Beam missed! Archie said with confidence.
Who said your Sharpedo was my target? Glacia asked.
Archie looked at his watery arena and saw Glalie focusing its beam at the water. The ice blast had collided with it, slowly freezing it.
Sharpedo, return! Archie shouted. He held out his Pokeball and withdrew Sharpedo before it got frozen along with the water. When he withdrew his Pokemon, the water was fully frozen.
Go, Crawdaunt! Archie yelled. A big orange lobster appeared on the frozen battlefield. It had a star pattern on its forehead and had giant claws. Its mouth had blue stripes that faced horizontally. It gave a look of anger at Glacias Glalie.
Crawdaunt, Double Team!
Crawdaunt reared its head and closed its eyes. More illusionary Crawdaunts emerged from the original Crawdaunt. The copies had circled the arena.
Glacia chuckled, as if she had the perfect counter for Archies plan.
Glalie, Blizzard!
Glalie formed a sky blue aura around its body. It turned clockwise, therefore releasing an outrageous blizzard in the stadium. The Crawdaunts braced themselves, but to no avail. Soon, all the copies and the original were frozen.
Glalie, Double Edge!
Glalie paced three steps back as it began swirling its body. It rushed to a frozen Crawdaunt as soon it was prepared. It striked the ice clone and the recoil had sent it flying towards the wall. The hard wall had caused the ice to shatter completely and the clone had disappeared the soon the ice had broke.
Aim for all of them! Glacia commanded.
The ice ball paced nine steps towards Glacia as it was shaking to power up the force of the collision. It dashed madly around the arena, drilling holes to any ice sculpture it hits and sending others to the walls.
Crawdaunt, return! Archie forcibly said. He held out his Pokeball and withdrew Crawdaunt. He took out his last Pokeball.
Youre my last hope. Dont fail me. Archie whispered to his Pokeball. Then he stared down at Glalie. Taste my first Pokemon!
A big blue alligator Pokemon stood in the arena, glaring at Glalie. It had red spikes on its back and three spikes on its blue tail. It had small, but sharp claws and had a v-shaped streak in its stomach.
So, youve got a Feraligatr. Really unexpected because theyre rarely found here. Glacia told Archie. But it still wont matter. My Pokemon are powerful enough to shred that pathetic beast.
Let see you try, then. Feraligatr, Slash! Archie ordered.
Feraligatr lifted both its arms and took three steps back. Then it jumped and charged to Glalie.
Glalie, dodge it and use Blizzard! Glacia shouted.
Glalie swiftly evaded Feraligatrs slash, leaving an afterimage behind.
Got ya! Archie blurted out.
Glalie re-appeared behind Feraligatr and inhaled air before releasing an ice-cold snowstorm.
Feraligatr, Iron Tail!
Feraligatrs tail suddenly glow a luminous color and slammed it down at Glalie. It had more damage and accuracy because Glalie was right behind it. The impact had broke the ice and sent Glalie underwater.
Now we have the advantage. Feraligatr, Hyper Beam! Aim for the cracked ice!
Feraligatr squat down as it was collecting life energy. It jumped, facing the ice before it. It opened its mouth, revealing a gigantic multi-colored sphere of life energy. The blue alligator exhaled and then released the harmful orb that soon formed into an overwhelming blast. It crashed down onto the cracked hole and soon hit Glalie. The result of the blow covered the arena with smoke.
Glacia and Archie coughed and tried to see what the result of the blast was.
The smoke soon had dissipated in less than a minute. There was a gigantic crack in the middle and Glalie was floating on its back, its eyes closed.
Urgh Glacia grunted.
This is what happens if you underestimate us! Archie shouted. The Feraligatr flexed its muscles, ready to tackle what Glacia has next.
Go, Walrein! She shouted, throwing another Pokeball. Walrein was released in the water and was prepared to strike.
Walrein, dive up and use Surf! Glacia ordered.
Wal! It shouted. It swirled around the water, gathering water particles.
Feraligatr, Earthquake!
The Feraligatr lifted up its right leg and crashed it down on the ice shortly after. A tremor was felt at first, and then it was followed up by a piercing earthquake. It shook the stadium and the lake underneath it. Walrein was swimming around, struggling to break free. The earthquake had produced whirlpools underneath it.
Rein! The blue seal cried out. It was caught in one of the chaotic whirlpools.
Walrein, break free! Glacia told it.
Walrein raised its fangs and hit the walls of the underwater tornado with it. It formed a little gap but closed quickly.
Walrein, freeze the whirlpool with Ice Beam! She ordered again.
Walrein inhaled and again converted the water into ice. It exhaled the ice and the Ice Beam was caught in the whirlpools current. The current had helped the beam freeze the entire whirlpool, trapping Walrein inside.
Walrein, try the tusk slam again! Glacia ordered.
Walrein raised its fangs again and striked the frozen walls, therefore collapsing it.
No! Walrein was able to get out of the whirlpool! Archie shouted.
Walrein immediately swam up to the gap as soon as it broke free. It re-surfaced, only showing its head above the water.
Feraligatr, Slash! Archie said sternly.
Archies Feraligatr had rose up its left arm and sprinted towards Walrein. Walrein put on a smug smirk and a tsunami lifted it up from the surface. Feraligatr stopped its Slash, knowing that it couldnt reach Walrein now. Walrein jumped up. While in mid-air, the tsunami headed towards the cerulean alligator. Feraligatr braced for impact as the raging tsunami came closer. Walrein had dived down behind the tsunami when it had dropped from the air.
Walreins tidal wave came closer, leaving a path of water on the ice that once was situated there. Walrein followed the irrigated path created by the tsunami.
Walrein, finish it off with Blizzard! Glacia ordered.
Wal! It cried as it began to breathe in air. It had dived down and gathered as much oxygen from the many bubbles that were dwelling there. Then it surfaced from the inside of the tidal wave and gathered more oxygen.
Walrein! It howled as it exhaled the gathered ice.
The tsunami broke down because of the fired beam and it revealed Walrein exhaling a treacherous snowstorm blast that headed towards Feraligatr and Archie.
Feraligatr crossed its arms for protection, but it had moved too late. The blizzard had frozen it before it could even move. Now that it was frozen, the blizzard rushed towards Archie.
Feraligatr, return! Archie shouted. He faced and tried to open the door after he had returned his Pokemon in an effort to escape the snowstorm.
Archie, feel my wrath! Glacia shouted and let out a wicked laughter.
The snowstorm hit Archie and froze the entire door.
My team destroyed Kyogre Must get Kyogre to complete my Archie was trapped in a block of ice before he finished that phrase. On his left hand side laid a Team Aqua badge that designated the leader for this organization.
Walrein, return. Glacia said as she withdrew her Walrein. With great joy, she crossed the icy floor and picked up the badge. She put it in her left collar and took out a blue cellphone from her left pocket. Glacia dialed Drakes number and waited for Drake to pick up his phone.
Ring!!! Ring!!! Drakes cellphone shrilled. He took it out, pressed the talk button, and said, Whos here?
This is Glacia reporting.
Ah, Glacia! Did you complete the takeover?
Yes, sir. Mission accomplished.
Good. Now we have both Team Magma and Team Aqua. Glacia, come back here immediately. Sidney had just collected some valuable information that involves the Emerald Orb.
The Emerald Orb? Glacia thought. I thought there were only two orbs representing the land and the sea If this is another orb, what does it represent? Ill have to go and find out.
Ill be there. Glacia replied, and then she hanged up.
