I decided that if in the end I was going to lose to Randy, I wanted to know that I couldnt have done it any other way. I reached for the buckle that held the leather straps of my belt together, and separated the straps. I then grasped the belt with my Pokballs, and threw it aside. I knew what I had to do
So do I! Juno-kun has to--

*knocks NA on the ground* Don't give away the juicy part, you stupid cat!

Meow... well, it was good reading it again-nya...

Into the Breech



Randy and Jeff looked at me with a bizarre look in their eyes, wondering what I was doing. Then, Jeff had suddenly realized what I was doing.

Juno wants to fight the battle himself Randy said in disbelief, Ive never seen anything like this before.

Well, if he really wants to suffer too, thats fine with me. Randy growled.

Then, Latias had looked at me, with an odd look in her eyes.

Youre crazy! She told me, You cant enter this battle yourself!

Yes I can. I told her, Its better we both go down at the same time then letting him crush us one by one. Hes already obliterated my Ninetails! You saw what he did!

But this is extremely dangerous. Latias warned me, You must be sure this is really what you want to do.

Ive made up my mind already. I told her seriously, The two of us working together is the only chance we have at winning this battle. I cant afford to lose this battle, but if I do, I want to know that I tried the best I could, the best we could

Then, Latias looked forward. It was going to take both of our greatest efforts to take down two of the nastiest Pokmon of all time, two of the strongest legendary Pokmon Ive ever encountered.

Boy, is this going to be fun. Randy said with admiration, Groundon, lets show Juno how painful a Storm Chasm attack is!

With pleasure, my master. Groundon spoke in a low growl.

I began to look frantically for a way out, but I saw none. Then, Latias frantically leapt off the ground, and flew toward me.

Get on my back, or youre finished! Latias shouted to me.

I then quickly jumped off the ground, and landed on Latiass back, and held on tight. We then flew off the ground and went up into the air. Groundon slammed his foot onto the ground, shaking the ground tremendously, but we were untouched. We circled around Groundon until we were able to see his back.

Go for his head. I told Latias as we flew at an intense pace, Hit the back of his head with a Cyber Dragon Slash attack!

And then, Latias flew at Groundon, and everything became a blur. After I focused through the blur, everything around us began to move slowly again while we kept flying at normal speed, just like when I fought Nidoking. It seemed like Groundon couldnt even move, and then Latias moved in for the strike. For a split second, I heard an ear-splitting shriek as Latiass claws sunk into Groundons rocky armor, and tore into it effectively.

Groundon attempted to try and hit us by wildly swinging his arm. Latias dodged with finesse as he encircled around Groundon again.

Lugia, get after those two! Randy shouted furiously, Destroy them both!!

Then, Lugia spread his giant white wings, jumped off the ground and flew into the air, vigorously flapping his wings to stay afloat. It didnt take Lugia very long before he was on our tail. Latias had looked behind her for a moment, and saw we had serious trouble right behind us.

Youre going to have to get rid of Lugia. Latias told me, Youre the only one who can.

And then, we attempted to move at blitz speed again, only Lugia had been catching on and easily kept up the pace. I didnt think he would be able to follow us at this tremendous speed.

It felt like we were going to need a miracle to win this one

Lugia was now attacking on his own free will. He had been blessed with Randys intensive Ultra Nova Blast, and he was already preparing to unleash another beam of destruction on us. He had an extremely aggressive look in his narrow eyes, and he almost seemed to smile while the extreme onslaught he was about to let loose upon us was only growing more powerful and intense by the second. Then, I saw he was about to fire another devastating beam. And it was aimed right for us

Pull up! I shouted to Latias frantically.

We ascended just in time, as a giant torrent of white, blazing energy blasted below us at a thunderous pace. A moment later, there was an intense explosion, sending dirt and debris scattering everywhere.

Again and again we circled around the stadium at a feverish pace. If I wanted to get Lugia off our tail, I was going to have to return fire, and now. But how was I going to do it when I needed to hold on?

I slowly turned around, holding onto Latiass wings tightly with my hands, now facing Lugia straight in the face. I knew that if we got struck by just one of those beams, that was going to be the end of everything real fast. Already, Lugia was fully charged with another shot.

Bear right! I shouted to Latias.

She did just that, and just in time. Just only five feet away from us was a torrent of absolute carnage. We made it just in time.

Youre going to have to make these calls sooner! Latias complained, still flying around the stadium furiously.

I then looked at Lugia, trying to think of an idea. The only way we were going to get Lugia off our back was if I kept attacking him. I gritted my teeth, held on tighter, and my cheeks began to flare up with intense electrical power. Then, I looked toward Lugia, and aimed for the area between the eyes. I then let loose a powerful Thunder Strike that forked its way violently toward Lugia, and struck him right on target. It stunned him for a moment, but he was able to get back on target very easily.

I prepared to strike again, this time aiming for Lugias abdomen, hoping it would hurt him more if I hit him there. At the same time, Lugia was preparing another Ultra Nova Blast. It was going to all come down to who hit first

I let loose my attack, and the blazing thunder struck Lugia furiously. I thought he was going to go down for sure but he just fought off the pain. And then, he fired his beam of destruction, and I didnt even have half a second to warn Latias

It blasted its way right under us, and for a sickening moment it felt like we were riding on top of it. I could feel the intense heat even stronger now. And then, Latiass had started to lose control of her flying, and all I could think was that she just got hit by the beam. We had done a barrel roll almost three times, and I looked ahead to see we were about to crash right into the ground.

Latias! Are you okay!? I shouted frantically, Pull up, or were going to crash!

But there was no response. I tried to get her attention, but she didnt say anything. All I could do was just watch the ground get closer and closer to us.

LATIAS!!! I screamed loudly

I couldnt believe this was how it was all going to end. It was going to be so quick and furious, even we had been doing so well. We blazed faster and faster toward the ground, and I could tell the impact was going to be extremely painful for Latias, as well as myself when I was going to go flying right off of her.

But then, at that last critical second, Latias slowly began to arc upward, but I realized it might just be too late. Just as she regained control of her flight, we made contact with the ground, and I heard a loud scrape. Latias shut her topaz yellow eyes and winced with pain. At that moment, we started to head upward again. But I could tell Latias was hurt.

Latias I said in dismay, hoping she wasnt injured too badly.

Im fine, She told me, But were going to have to keep moving if we want to win.

Thank the heavens above Latias was alright. I saw my life flashing right before my eyes at that moment. I turned back to face Lugia, who hadnt given up the fight at all. I was furious at that moment. Any ally of Randy was my worst enemy, and right now Lugia was my worst enemy, trying to take away all of our freedom and trying to keep us bound in this forsaken world. I was not going to let him do that to us, not after all we had done to try and get out of here

Now was my chance for revenge. As we flew at a furious pace, I kept my eyes steadfast on my target, and Lugia had no chance for my forgiveness. It was time for him to be punished

Lugia then began charging up one more Ultra Nova Blast, trying to make it as huge as possible. I waited patiently for the moment to arise. Then, as the white, glowing sphere of energy was large and filled with tremendous amount of glowing, white power, I focused hard on my own energy, and my cheeks flared up with more electricity than ever before, and I could feel the intense power surge throughout me. Lugia was within moments of firing off a beam that was so giant that we had no chance to avoid it. It was now or never. I released the most powerful Thunder Strike attack I could, and aimed for the one spot that was going to change everything. I aimed right for Lugias mouth. When the intense thunder and lightning clashed with the charging energy Lugia was storing for his attack, there was a massive explosion, starting from Lugias mouth.

The white explosion was so massive that Lugias entire body looked like it had exploded, and the wave of white energy slowly crept toward us as we tried to race away from it. Moments later, the explosion died down, and Lugia recklessly slammed right into the ground, violently tumbling over and over several times as white fire blazed all over his body. When Lugia stopped tumbling, we saw he lay unconscious, never suspecting his own intense power would be turned against him. He absolutely refused to move, and Randy had no choice but to recall him.

Nice shot! Latias congratulated me.

I turned around and then faced the same direction Latiass was facing. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, a giant, spiked pillar made of chrome metal with razors on its end suddenly threw its way upward, and forcefully slammed right into us. Latias was struck in the head hard, and I was immediately thrown off of her, and then I crashed into the pillar head first, which hurt tremendously.

I shut my eyes from the pain, and all I could feel was a soft wind blow from underneath me as I kept falling and falling. Then, moments later, I slammed right into the ground hard, and I was pulsing with hot, burning pain all over my body. I rolled over a few times, and lay on my back. I opened up my eyes slowly, and gazed up at the stars in the black sky as hot pain continued to cripple my body. I couldnt move it was so bad. Then, seconds later I heard Latias cry out in pain as she hit the ground and tumbled close by. Then, I heard the tumbling get closer, and she stopped only a few feet away from me. I could hear her moan in pain.

When I slowly turned my head, I saw it was Groundon who was responsible for hitting us. He had hit us with his tail, right at the point when he has used a similar attack to Iron Tail, only it felt like we crashed into something far more durable and stronger than that. I was breathing hard, hoping I could get back up and try fighting again, only it seemed so distant. Jeff had just looked at the two of us fallen on the ground, and he just smiled.

Juno and Latias are unable to battle! Jeff shouted out with hideous glee, The victory goes to Groundon, making Randy the winner!

After I heard those sick words, there wasnt any sting of pain that was going to stop me from getting back up and continuing this. I slowly rolled over onto my chest, thrust my hands firmly into the ground, and pushed myself off the dusty floor, and stood right back up again. I was going to enter the fray once more

Restless


I was hurting all over, the bitter sting of pain surrounded me, but it wasnt strong enough to stop my determination. If I was going to lose here, then I was going to lose everything, and I just couldnt accept that. While we were on the verge of losing, we were on the verge of winning as well. I had decided at the moment that I didnt care anymore. I would rather bleed to death on this gray battlefield than find myself in Randys possession until the end of time.

It appears Jeff said in a calm tone, Juno hasnt given up. He still thinks he can fight.
Really!? Randy asked in gleeful amazement, My, he mustnt be too smart then. Groundon, lets prove to this little wimp that he didnt stand a chance in the first place. Silver Claw Slash, now Groundon!

The audience was amazed I was still standing. However, I couldnt bring myself to move. I could barely walk, and only moments later, Groundon came stomping forward, approached me, and in a split second I found myself thrown off the ground and flying into the air. I must have flown fifty feet before hitting the ground again, and rolling around and around until I hit the back wall. I felt weaker than ever before from the intense pain.

Meanwhile, the audience was rendered silent as they watched me get thrown across the stadium. It had all seemed hopeless now. I had turned to Latias, who was very far away from me. She had fainted, unable to help me now. I was alone, completely by myself. And right now, I didnt see any hope for me to make it out of this alive. Then, even as I was lying on the floor, trying get back up, Randy decided to strike at me again. I told myself I had to move, or it might just be all over with.

But it was too late. Groundon had stood above me, bent down and grasped my body, and I screamed for him to let me go. But instead, I suddenly felt a great blast of wind rush past me as I was thrown again, flying out of Groundons grasp, and flying through the air before hitting the ground once again and rolling over and over again before stopping again. I didnt want to die like this. Not like this

And then, I must have let all the hate and anger I had out. Randy could never be forgiven for this. I pulled myself off the ground once again, refusing to lose to my worst enemy, yet again. I looked at Groundon like he was the devil himself.

You havent had enough!? Groundon growled humorously, How much more pain do you want!?
There is no attack Juno has that can stop Groundon. Randy remarked firmly, That hope ended when he lost Latias.

And as much as I didnt want to believe it, he was right. No electrical attack was ever going to hurt Groundon no matter how much effort and energy I put into it. I was so scared at that moment. The only thing I could do now was just stand here and lose. Perhaps Randy had grown far too strong to handle. Maybe there really was no way to truly defeat him.

But, I could have smacked myself for thinking like that. I had turned to Latias, and I realized she hadnt given up after she hit the ground. She worked as hard as she could so we would still have a chance at winning. The two of us had worked so hard to get so far together. The last thing I wanted was for her to wake up and find out we lost, and it was all for nothing. All the hell that David, Alex, and all of my Pokmon had done for all of us was going to be for nothing.

All for nothing Those sick words made me more furious than ever before. I wasnt going to stand here hopelessly and wait for Randy to win a battle when he didnt deserve the victory. I had rushed toward Groundon, trying to think of some, even small, possible way of stopping him. There had to be something. I had a strong feeling it wasnt meant to end like this.

And then, the perfect solution had come to mind

Groundon had attempted to stomp on me several times as I made my way around his feet, trying to grab onto his back. He kept turning around and around, but I was far too fast for him to keep up. I didnt care what pain tried to drag me down, I wasnt going to accept it. I leapt toward Groundons back, and latched on as hard as I could.

Get him off of you! Randy shouted furiously.

Groundon had attempted to hit me with his tail, but struggled to avoid it. I slowly and carefully used the black grooves on his back to make my way upward. As I drew closer to the top, Groundon had struck me successfully, and it made the pain even more agonizing. I had to go slower then, struggling and twitching to try and reach my target as I climbed higher and higher.

And finally, at last I had reached the point where Groundon could no longer hit me, or be able to reach for me. Then, I had come across the one way I could have a chance at winning this battle. I had found the area where Latias had struck Groundon in the back of the head, and the claw slashes had gone deep. I then approached the cuts in the back of Groundons head, and realized in one small area, his rock armor had been cut away to reveal the softer skin area behind it. I placed my hands on the soft skin, and then focused my energy.

My cheeks had once again flared up with incredible electric power, and I sent the harsh amount of electricity right into the exposed area where my hands were. The powerful electric attack had bypassed Groundons armor and had begun to electrocute him within his own armor. He had tried to shake me off, but I held on as tight as I could. I wanted my revenge for what he had done to us. I continuously poured in a much electrical power as I could into the open cut, not even once caring about Groundons pleas to make me stop.

The onslaught had lasted almost two minutes, and by the time I had finally stopped, Groundon had begun to collapse. Just before he slammed face-first into the ground, I quickly jumped off, and landed back on my feet. Behind me, Groundon had fallen, no longer able to fight, and I had turned around to face my fallen enemy. Randy didnt want to believe what had just happened.

Groundon, get up. Randy shouted, Get up!

I stood there, silently and prepared to enjoy as much as I could of this.

Randy Jeff told him, There isnt anything he can do anymore
Jeff, Randy told him, Groundon will be getting up, I know it.

But Jeff shook his head, no believing it either, but still acknowledging the fact that Groundon had been finished. There was nothing that could help him.

Im sorry Randy Jeff said calmly.
No! Randy shouted, NO!! This is not supposed to happen to me! Never! This should not be happening!!

And then, Randy let loose a hideous scream of agony and frustration. It seemed to get louder and louder, and then seemed so loud it was unreal. Then, everything when instantly black, and I heard a tremendous shattering sound, as if a million panes of glass had been broken. When the awful sounds had ended, there was only the silence of darkness

I had woken up to find I was no longer Juno the Pikachu, but as my own identity, Jake Kossak. I had my normal clothes on, as well as my belt with my Pokballs, all five of them. I looked around me and saw I was on the gray asphalt of the school parking lot. I checked my watch and saw it was still 2:18, only a minute after we had met them on that last day of school before the incident. Alex and David had gotten up, and were right besides me.

Man, what happened? Alex asked, For a moment, I heard this hideous scream and then it felt like
Its over with. I told them both, I never want to go through anything like that ever again.

I had seen Frank, Jeff, and Randy only a short distance away. When I looked at them, they only began to walk away even faster. They said nothing, and Alex and David didnt want to pursue them, and neither did I. Alex and David had simply turned around, and began to head home. Meanwhile, I stood there for a few seconds, just content to see the normal world again. The air had never smelled so good.

And then, tiny red glints from the asphalt had caught my eye, and I realized it was the Quista necklace, only now it was in pieces. As I continued to stare at it, it slowly crumbled even further, and turned into dust that was gone with the wind. I then turned around, and headed home.

It had seemed like months had passed by, when only it had all happened in a minute of real time. The three of us had run into Randy, as well as Jeff and Frank on other school days, but we no longer said or did anything to them. We no longer played the same tricks we used to. And I never did tell Randy that it was really me who was actually Juno. I could have, but it would have gone too far. None of us have ever said anything to anyone

In essence, it felt like a part of me had completely changed from that day on. I wasnt the same bully I used to be, and I never was one again. I felt far more comfort in what I found familiar, my family, my friends, and my Pokmon. There was a piece of me that had been changed, and I realized how precious it is to belong to something, and to be a part of it, and to contribute to it as much as you can. I began to see it in everything, as a family, a community, and a brotherhood.

I had arrived home, and my belonging to my family seemed to be more real than ever before. I had lost them for some time, but in the end I had gained them back, as well as something new and different that I had realized was there all this time

My own room seemed like something that had been a part of me that had been taken away. I had approached the doorknob, grasped it firmly, and opened the door to reveal the one place where I could be myself and not feel ashamed. I had looked around, seeing my bed, dresser, and my desk, as well as all the other things that were a part of me, and I was glad I could be in my own world now.

Ive been away for a long time

That was fun. I can't wait for the next one. It was cool seeing the irony of the situation; the main group played by Randy's rules and Randy, who was the victim became the villain.

It's the whole power-trip thing. People that are normally nice can completely succumb to evil temptations when they find power.
