The mother seemed to ignore the Gardevoir’s warning, but she wasn’t the first. Most didn’t listen to Skyna, and she was used to it by now. It didn’t help that she didn’t know what to think herself, but she knew something horrible was going to happen. She had foreseen it… She had a vision of the possible future, and it was of destruction that would leave a great scar in the region. She had seen the results of some terrible weapon that would wipe out everything in its path, and leave the few remaining survivors to die of some horrid unknown sickness that would affect both human and Pokemon. She didn’t know who would use the weapon or where it would hit, but she guessed it would be used in a key battle. Her future telling abilities were extremely limited and very vague. She had no ability to control what she saw and they were always seemed incomplete. She was suddenly snapped back to reality by Mandel’s crying.

She heard him say he had ruined everything about his life, and his self depreciating talk. She walked over to him and softly kneeled next to him and said in a soft, soothing voice while carefully using a healing pulse to heal some of his wounds, “Mandel you are not a waste and your life is not a waste. As long as you’re alive there is always hope on the horizon. Sometimes we have to sink to our lowest point before we can rise to greatness.” Skyna wasn’t sure if she was helping but she wanted to try. In a world of pain and hatred she wanted to be that one who stood above it all, but lately it felt she too was being consumed by the darkness that surrounded her.

Lilac mumbled a good-bye when Silence as Silence left. She didn't want her old friend to go. It reminded her of how things used to be when the Weavile was around.

"Are you alright?" Lilac turned to see Althalos.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just have a lot on my mind," she said with a small smile.

"Now, unless I'm still needed here, I'll be getting back to the PR. They're probably wondering what happened to me." Silence said, looking at everyone in the room. "It's up to you. If you want to leave, I can get you out of the city. If you want to stay, be my guest. It doesn't bug me." Mark said truthfully. He switched his attention to Althalos who was now speaking. "Blitz was my pokemon. I got him quite a few years ago. All I ever did was treat him with kindness and respect. As did my family. He returned that respect and love until people started talking about the pokemon rebelling." Althalos proceed to tell Mark everything, "He killed my family. All of them, my mom and dad, my two younger brothers and my newborn sister..." He had tears rolling down his face and was sniffling as he continued to speak "He should have killed me, but he didn't. He just threw me against a wall, knocked me out and left." Changing the subject Althalos said "My helicopter is down at the helipad refueling as we speak, or is leaving tomorrow part of your plan too?" "I'm Sorry," Mark said before answering Althalos question "Do you wan't to go back to sleeping on cots and being on edge every day, waiting to be attacked, breaks from the front line keep you from going 100 percent paranoid."
Silence left saying "Take care," to Lilac who returned with a quiet "Good-Bye." then replied to Althalos question that Mark hadn't heard. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just have a lot on my mind," She said with a small smile. Mark assumed Althalos asked if she was alright. "You sure your O.K?" Mark asked.

"With a glance at our army, we're simply not enough for two wars. Now that we came this far, we won't die defending, we'll die attacking. Like I said before, I propose we charge to Shinyshore, but sent our spies first to list their defenses and find us a way through or into them."

Hector agreed. It was the time to strike, not defend. They started this war, and now, they were going to finish it.

"And how did you get that? Do we maybe have other human forces to worry about, like assasins?"

Hector looked at the wound, and spoke.

"It was a specialist, someone I ran into before. But pay it no mind. We have work to do."

"Why don't we just talk about this later?" Rumble said, leaving to let the Gardevoir finish her mending. Hector nodded to Rumble as he left. Hector waited while the Gardevoir finished her healing, thinking to himself on what should be done. In his mind, he was still deciding, but he felt in his heart, he had already decided. It was time to end this. Hector would also get a chance to use the weapon Jun and he discovered, the Legendary Pokemon.

With his wound relatively healed, Hector nodded to the Gardevoir, and departed.

He found Rumble talking with Lydia next to the armory.

"Field General Rumble! I'm giving a widespread order for everyone from the PR to gather here in Oreburgh. Send Pokemon to every corner of our territory and get every member. We're launching our final assault. We're taking Sunnyshore."

Mark was right. Althalos needed to be away from it all for a while, even if that while was just a day.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just have a lot on my mind," Lilac said with a faint smile. The weavile had left and Althalos was trying to cool off. His face was red from trying to sustain full on crying, so he turned on the ceiling fan

"Well, I told my story, and I know you heard it, so what is on your mind?"

"You sure you're ok?" Mark asked Lilac who nodded in reply.

"Well, I told my story, and I know you heard it, so what is on your mind?" Althalos questioned.

Lilac's guard immediately went up. Living on the streets had taught to be careful who to trust. 'But Silence asked him to help me so I guess it's ok...' "Quite a bit really, but mostly just Silence. We were inseparable friends before, but when this whole war began I..," she faltered than continued, "I left her. I let all the stories of pokemon turning on their masters get to me. We became enemies, but now... I'm not sure if we're friends, enemies, or neither." Lilac was surprised with herself. She had never said so much to someone she had only just met. She bit her lip nervously and looked at Althalos.

Lilac nodded yes to his question, then was asked "Well, I told my story, and I know you heard it, so what is on your mind?" by Althalos "Quite a bit really, but mostly just Silence.

"You don't have to stand you know, you can come sit down on the couch if you want. And why your being asked stuff, I have a question. Why were you wondering Oreburgh during an attack, shouldn't you have been with your family, somewhere safer? Did you live in Oreburgh? Sh*t that's two questions, ah well."

"You don't have to stand you know, you can come sit down on the couch if you want," Mark said. "And while you're being asked stuff, I have a question. Why were you wandering Oreburgh during an attack, shouldn't you have been with your family, somewhere safer? Did you live in Oreburgh?" Lilac shook her head.

"I'm a member of the HR, or was before what happened in Hearthome. I was in the base when the attack began. A Magmar knocked me out and when I woke up something had pushedm me out of the window. I didn't stop to see what it was and ran off," Lilac said. "And as for my family... I don't have one. I grew up on the streets. That's how I met Silence. She was mourning over her dead mother." She pictured that day as she spoke. They had both been so different back than. Always joking around though Silence was the quieter of the two. 'At least she wasn't fixed on vengence.'

Silence Quickslash
Enroute to Oreburgh City


After a short rest when she was getting close to Hearthome, Silence had continued on her way. Now as she ran she snatched bites from an oran berry she had snagged from a bush. She had gotten back through the tunnel in Mt. Coronet by Focus Blasting the rocks than speeding through as the cave collapsed again behind her. Oreburgh was on the horizon and getting closer every second. Exhausted from her almost nonstop dash, Silence slowed to a walk once she reached the city. She strolled down the steets and into the base, going over to a corner and leaning against the wall as if she'd been there the entire time. Catching snatches of conversations she discovered that Hector was back. 'Thank Arceus,' she thought.

Lilac nervously bit her lip. "You're acting like I'm gonna hurt you or something," Althalos gave a broken laugh. "In my case, the stories were true. My best friend killed my family. I have no idea what silence would have done, but then again, I didn't know that the pokemon I trusted my life with, and his with me, would kill those closest to me." Althalos wasBquiet for a moment. "Silence wanted to protect you, so she was nothing like Blitz. She still cares about you, otherwise, you would probably be dead," he turned his gaze back to the polluted sea, but quickly looked away. "I used to think that a bond between two friends, especially a human and pokemon, was eternal. I don't know what to believe now. I've been completely betrayed by Blitz, and then Lydia. I know she was trying to get me and Ali out, but it still hurt the both mentally and physically, the way she did it." Lilac then told her story of how she met Silence. Althalos had at least grown up with a loving family, that made it all the worse when they died, but to grow up with nothing? Althalos couldn't imagine.

Hearthome


I fired a few shots of each type of weaponry and moved the Ravager to the Cafe' area. I pressed the button I was supposed to press before getting out and opened the hatch to get out of the Ravager. I hopped out and took off my helmet. I was really sweaty from the outfit and the helmet. I grabbed my other clothes from my back pack and switched the clothes out. "Keep that uniform and the helmet, your gonna need em soon." the Woman said. I stuffed the clothes in the bottom of my back pack after I got changed. "We have some more soldiers on the way for training so if you want you can take that lift to SunnyShore. I don't know if its safe but Im sure a man like you could take care of him self right?" The woman said. "Yeah, Ill take the lift. Thanks." I replied. "Your welcome." she said.

About 2 hours later a chopper carrying 10 to 15 soldiers arrived. They all got off a few of them looked nervous. "It's not as hard as you think" I told them.
A few of them nodded with a smile on there face. The pilot of the chopper motioned me to the helicopter. It was time for lift off, I grabbed my back pack and hooked my Ravager Helmet to the side. I gave all the soldiers and the woman a salute and boarded the chopper.

Flying Inside Helicopter


I began thinking about that vision I had when I shocked my self in the Ravager. I couldn't make out who helped me. Who ever that was they deserved a thank you. I was interrupted and lost my train of thought when the pilot's radio went off. "Avenger 2 be advised, we have some tangos on the radar in your area" the other end of the radio said. "It's a'o.k command, Avenger 2 has it covered" the pilot said. 5 minutes later command came in again. "Uhhhh.. Avenger 2 we advise you get out of there now we have a large group of targets on radar." before the pilot could respond a large ball of fire came hurdling towards the helicopter. "Oh s***" I said. The ball of fire hit the helicopter causing it to crash.

Defending fallen helicopter


I awoke behind the chopper next to the dead pilot. I grabbed my M1A1 and began returning fire the the pokemon across the street. I shot a few pokemon heading towards me when a Charizard shot a fire ball at me and I got knocked off my feet. Before I was almost killed a helicopter showed up and dropped a few soldiers to help me out. The soldier on the minigun shot a few pokemon when the chopper was shot down. "Team! Defend these positions!" a voice said behind me. It was the Lieutenant I met back at the HR base. "Lieutenant! It sure is great to see you again!" I called to him. He glanced at me and nodded his head and continued firing. We fired at the pokemon until I saw a Charizard shooting fire balls. "Holy, S***." I stood up dropped my guns and picked up my 44. Magnum. I Began walking toward the Charizard while the Lieutenant's team covered me. I was almost there, when I flashed out of reality.

------FLASH BACK------
"Dad no!" Jason said.

"I have to, It's to protect the family!" said Jason's father.

"You can't get rid of them!" Jason screamed as tears flew from his face.

"SON! I HAVE TO!" Jason's dad yelled

Jason's dad released the pokemon from the pokeball and smashed the capturing device.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU RAT AGAIN!" Jason's dad yelled.

GRRRAAAAA!!! yelled Charizard.

Charizard grabbed Jason's dad and threw him across the room busting his head open on the fire place. The Charizard then torched the rest of Jason's family and scratched the side of Jason's face. Jason then new his dad was right. The pokemon needed to be dealt with.

------END OF FLASH BACK------

Satisfying the taste of Revenge


It was the same Charizard that killed my family. It was time for my revenge.
Adrenaline rushed through my body, I was shocked by multiple hits, that knocked me down. I had to keep moving I approached the Charizard, pulled back my fist and punched it in the nose. It fell backwards and I went to stomp on its head when it grabbed my foot and twisted it. "ARRGG!!" I yelped.
The Lieutenant saw me fighting with the Charizard and yelled "Team! Draw their fire this way! We need to buy him some time!"

The Charizard threw me onto the floor. It approached me about to stomp on me when I kicked it in the stomach. The Charizard was bent over in pain. I got up and upper-cutted it in the jaw. It fell backwards in pain, I stomped on its leg then kicked it in the side continuously. "See how it feels you Son of a B****! Huh? Huh? Huh?" The Charizard was badly injured. It was time I has my revenge, it was over, my thirst for revenge was about to be stopped by one bullet. I pulled out my Magnum Aimed it at it's forehead, said "Merry Christmas" and pulled the trigger.

"That's where your wrong, Rumble. Feelings, whether you know them or not, can be strong too. They control us; all of us,"

Rumble raised his eyebrows with his frown still on. He was never wrong.

"The vengeful feel you have for humans is another emotion. One that has brought you far, if I'm correct, Rumble? Of course, there are several other emotions that have different effects...but that would never make them useless, as they all serve a purpose. You might disagree, but then again, you don't have the experience of 'true' feelings like I do".

Her smile slowly grew back on and Rumble's frown grew bigger as well. She wouldn't understand.

"I'm trying to help Mandel, if you realize it or not. I don't want him to be ruined by War, unlike you, who seem perfectly fine crushing his spirit...and one more thing. You can be powerful and expressive at the same time..."

"NO you can't! If I cared about everyone in here we'd all be dead meats!"
Rumble exploded in anger and got his face closer to Lydia with his large amber eyes not reflecting anything but insanity. His voice was still intimidating, imbued with psychic power in case it cracks from the emphasis he put into his words. But then he tried to calm down as his rational side realised it's not right.. but that sense was lessening and lessening with the time.

"I feel vengeful for the humans, but that makes me waste my time with stupid city invasions just to feel the risk and the touch of adrenaline. Nothing more stupid than a genius like me wasting his time with them."

Rumble stopped speaking and turned around, and tried to calm down. But before he could quell the huge wave of insanity and his cruel intentions and sayings, he heard the voice he admired most; Hector.

"Field General Rumble! I'm giving a widespread order for everyone from the PR to gather here in Oreburgh. Send Pokemon to every corner of our territory and get every member. We're launching our final assault. We're taking Sunnyshore."

Rumble turned around to face the Arcanine, his expression turning dead serious as he was seeing the incoming war.

"I see. But let's not rush it here, Arcturus. The human forces might have improved even more... Do we have time for our spies to infiltrate Sunnyshore? Also, when are we going to summon Groudon?"

A slighty smile was spread across Rumble's face, another real smile. He glanced at Lydia, remembering of something he saw in the same armory that now was the PR; some blueprints of a massive weapon. His amber eyes got dark, now they were perfectly visible as he had moved out of the sunlight.

As always, I'll be having an escape plan. I have a hunch the longlegs might be preparing a surprise in Sunnyshore. You never know, so try to keep in touch with me.

Silence Quickslash
Oreburgh City
PR Base


Feeling the need to be alone with her thoughts Silence went up to the roof of the PR base. She stood there now with arms crossed and the wind tugging at her fur. "You look tired," a voice came from behind her. Silence spun around. It wasn't often someone was able to creep up on her without her noticing. A Gallade stood there watching her with a calm look on his face. "I saw you get back and was curious as to why you didn't rest. You must be exhausted," the psychic-type continued.

Silence opened her mouth to protest but instead she found herself agreeing. "Yeah, I did a lot of running today," she said. "I don't think I'd be able to sleep now though."

"Why don't I help you with that?" the Gallade said as he walked towards her. Silence felt herself unable to move as he approached her. His eyes glowed and she felt herself growing drowsy. The last thing she saw before falling into the depths of slumber where his glowing eyes.
***************************************
Silence awoke what seemed like hours later feeling refreshed. She was still laying on the roof, but the Gallade had gone. 'I didn't even learn his name, Silence thought than scowled. 'Snap out of it. There's no time for that.' She got up and went back inside, down the elevator, and to the corner. She didn't even have to think about what she was doing. This was something she always did. Even though she told herself it didn't matter, she cast her glance around for the Gallade and was unable to stop the twinge of disappointment when he was nowhere to be found.

Jason Fox and Lieutenant Johnson's Team
Fighting hordes of pokemon


"Team, We need to move forward!" Johnson yelled as they fired. "HOORAAH!" His team yelled as they began moving forward pushing off waves of enemies. I looked down at the dead Charizard and moved back to the Lieutenant's team. One of the soldiers tossed me my bag and my M1A1. I opened my bag to grab a grenade when I saw something shining on the inside. I grabbed the object, it was the J52-V20 Volt gun. I had completely forgotten about it, "mass destruction in a sweet slick package, hooraah" I said under my breath. I flipped the switch to turn the weapon on as it booted up. The rock hard glass tube in the center of the gun lit up with electricity. I aimed at a Squirtle and pulled the trigger. It started to scream as light bursted from its eyes and mouth. It grabbed it's ears to try to stop the ringing noise in its head when it's head blew to smithereens."Hell yeah!" I yelled. The other pokemon saw the squirtle's decapitated body and started to run backwards. I shot a group running back to to Sunnyshore and they all where shocked to death before they had a chance to clear the fire fight. I shocked multiple targets that were all killed instantly. I needed to reload, I dropped the empty mag and pulled another one out. inserted it, then flipped the switch again to restart the weapon. By the time I finished reloading the pokemon where either dead or escaped. A medic-copter showed up and helped me and the Lieutenant's team.

Jason Fox
Out side of Sunny Shore


I had some wounds but the doctor said I would be ready to get back to battle in about two hours. The time slipped pass as the doctor started to patch me up. The only soldier that was completely wounded was Scott Baymen who was evac'ed to a hospital for help. About an hour later a Black-Hawk gave us a lift to Sunny-Shore. Lieutenant Johnson was briefing his team about what was going on. I decided to listen in since I was going to be there to. I was going to be in a Ravager, but what the hell. It's always great to know what your team will be doing. "Team, Were heading into hell on this mission, we need to conserve ammo in this. Snipers, don't take the shot unless you know you have it, we don't want to give away any positions. Any one on the ground needs to follow my orders. If your pinned down give us a shout, the HR leaves no man behind. Any questions?" His team didn't have any questions.

We arrived at sunny shore undetected. It wasn't war time yet so we made a camp just a distance in the woods. We were completely invisible. We had a SR-71 Black-Bird in the sky. Those things are so high there just about in space. It was giving us radar for the time being. Eventually, A chopper came by that dropped for soldiers and the Ravager that I would be Piloting. I grabbed my Suit and put it on just in case so I would need to be ready to jump in it if we got attacked. Now, It was wait time.

Hector Arcturus
Oreburgh City

"I see. But let's not rush it here, Arcturus. The human forces might have improved even more... Do we have time for our spies to infiltrate Sunnyshore? Also, when are we going to summon Groudon?"

Hector responded right away, a sense of urgency in his voice.

"No, Rumble, this is the exact time when we should be rushing. If we send a few spies now...there should be time while everyone gathers. Once everyone has arrived in Oreburgh, we are going to move out, so we're going to have to give the spies some kind of signal to let them know to return. As for the Legendary Pokemon, that will be summoned, we'll do it once we begin moving. For now, everyone must come here to Oreburgh. Meet with me in an hour to discuss the battle plan. Bring any other people with you who know a thing or two about strategy, including Khufu."

Hector turned around and left, making his way across the Base. There, he noticed Flying Pokemon carrying messages leaving from Oreburgh, and flying to their other bases to gather everyone up. Finally, things were beginning to move again. But Hector had a bad feeling about attacking Sunnyshore. Even though he wouldn't back down now, he felt that this will be the last battle...one way or another.

Jun Trace

Guns still pointed at his head.

(I'm taking matters into my own hands, I've had enough of him waiting around. :P )

Jun took at look at the men who were pointing guns at him. They seemed to be talking amonst themselves, including Jack Spark, the Commander. Jun had to get out of this now. He realized they weren't going to believe him, no matter what he did. He held his hands behind his back, and in a subtle motion, grabbed the smoke grenade that was hidden under his hood. He looked to the side. There was a thicket of trees to the east, only a few meters away. He decided to break for them.

In one quick motion, Jun threw the active smoke grenade on the ground, and made a break for it, yelling back at them.

"Sorry, Commander, but I've got a job to do! See you on the battlefield!" He said, running away. He realized they might have had motion or heat trackers, so the trees were a perfect cover for that. He lookedat his shoulder. He was shot, but the wound wasn't serious. He'd take care of it later. He went deaper into them, and then, disappeared.

Rumble couldn't resist a smile at Hector. He brought up to his mind his knowledge about psychology, laughing at the fact that the commander always disagreed with him. It did matter to Rumble's ego, but his other side just shrugged it off, simply stating that Hector actually misunderstood his thoughts about "not rushing".

The desperate need of control leads them to disagree with the stronger one.. Or maybe it's simply his personality. Either way it's annoying.

He shook his head slighty, losing his smile and nodded to the Arcanine before him. He got lost in his thoughts right away. Did he know anyone with knowledge on strategic battle plans?

Rumble glanced at Lydia. She'd be leaving soon - even though she had disappointed him, Rumble would let her go on that mission, with the escape plan always in mind.
The psychic Pokemon started moving out of the backalley.

"Let's see each other in the Commander's room?"

It wasn't clear to who he was talking to - Hector or Lydia. Still lost in his thoughts about psychology and strategy, he levitated slowly like a ghost in the streets, his destination was in the darkest corner of his mind. He entered the building and looked around, only to be saluted by some small Pokemon, but he couldn't notice them; just in that corner in the hall, was standing that Weavile he had seen in the holocaust.

"Heh. Who do we have here? Mrs. Weavile!" He yelled at her in his fake, happy voice but with no smile on. His expressions were serious as he recognized a true opponent in the Weavile, but he still got closer to her, just about 1 meter, heightening his levitation, keeping the Weavile under his shadow.


"Ruthless, vicious and pretty. Dangerous combination!" Rumble allowed himself a small smile as he saw her sarcastic reply incoming.

Logan drove blissfuly through the streets of Veilstone. Logan knew that the Pokemon could strike at any moment, and that it would be best to enjoy whatever peace would be left to enjoy. Logan turned right towards the highway that would lead him to Lake Valor. Logan knew that the Pokemon would eventually strike at Sunnyshore, and that Logan would have to fight them. Logan headed down the highway, observing the Natural surroundings, before they would be destroyed. The war annoyed Logan, as it stopped him from his profits in the Assassin business, which paid well. Logan had never owned a Pokemon, so the war seemed weird to him. But anyways, these days it seems that the army is Logan's client and the Pokemon are the target. Logan took the next exit marked: Sunnyshore City. Logan drove down the highway, taking a occasional glance at the Ocean, which was quite beautiful. Within time, Logan saw the buildings of Sunnyshore City, the last frontier for the human race.

Mandel
Oreburgh City
Streets
Mandel had felt an unnerving rage building up inside himsice Rumble had arrived and spoken to them. He had dragged Lydia off before he could respond, just as soon as Mandel had plucked up the courage to talk to her about the recent events. He cared so deeply for Lydia that he couldn't stand the all that had happened anymore.

"Grrrrr..." Mandel began to make a slight snarl and a dark wing blew. Leaves began to break off of Mandel and seperate into the wind which was slowly starting to spin around Mandel. The wind became faster and faster, spinning at an alarming pace, as Mandel began to deteriorate into it. It hurt, Mandel wasn't bothered. He was almost completely soaked up into the wind, when he sensed someone pushing there way through the maelstrom of dark leaves and placing there hand on his shoulder. Mandel began to calm down and the leaves began to rejoin and reform into Mandel.

Mandel turned to face the being who had placed their hand on his shoulder. It was another Leafeon a pure one. It began to speak in a voice very similar in tone and pitch to Mandels, only deeper.

"Oh my boy... what has happened to you." Mandel slumped and fell into the leafeons arms.

This was the Leafeon from the vision Celebi had shown him. This was his father.

"How did you... you weren't supposed to be able to..." Mandels father was at a loss for words.

"Mandel... Mandel look at me."

Mandel rose from his fathers arms and looked at him. The leaves had reformed Mandel, but the black wind was still surrounding them. Blocking off all vision in and out. His father spoke.

"Mandel, my name is Kaleb. I am your father."

Mandel was teary eyed.

"I know Dad, I know."

Kaleb smiled sympathetically at his son.

"Son I wish I could stay longer but my time runs short I must give you a message."

"Wait, what do you mean your time runs short?" Mandel said with a confused tone.

Kaleb began to talk in rushed speach.

"Your pendant mandel your pendant! Sigh... listen because I can only say this once. The day I disappeared from your Mother side was the day I died. You had been given to the human family a month before-hand and your mother and I were planning on moving back to her homeland of snowpoint city. However the day we were destined to set off I heard dreadful news. The first bad trainer had cropped up and he was using his Rhyperior to destroy my good friend Celebis shrine. I had to save the shrine but your mother, insisted she helped me... she could have perished in the insuing fight so I couldn't in my heart let her join me... so I did something I will never forgive myself for, I told her I didn't love her anymore. She was so upset she ran away and I went to fight the Rhyprior alone. I managed to defeat the Rhyperior and send the human packing, but I died in the process. In my dying moments I begged Celebi to find some way of telling my eife, your mother, I still loved her. She proposed I ask you to do it for me since she can't interact directly with non-grass type pokemon. I obviously had to wait for you to grow up and I instructed Celebi to tell you of your mothers location in snowpoint when you were old enough. I then asked Celebi to seal my remaining life force into a small crystal made from the leaf on my chest. The same crystal she gave you as a pendant. Ever since then I have been with you, waiting for you to find your mother. The pendant was sealed with an ammount of Celebis power, when the power was done sustaining me, it would go into you, granting you a small piece of a legends power as my final gift to you, this was all meant to transpire when you felt love for another pokemon. I assumed this pokemon would be your mother, but somehow someone has set it off early. I lent you my power and let you channel it into yourself through the amulet, and when you became tainted, so did I, which is why the amulet turned black, however I feel you don't need the amulet now. With your own strength and a small fragment of Celebis power... I think you'll do... just..... fine........"

Mandel thought of Lydia when Kaleb mentioned love. Just then Kaleb fell to the ground.

"Dad!" Mandel cried.

Kaleb smiled up at Mandel.

"My boy... I'm so proud of the strong pokemon you've come to be... t... tell your Mother that I... that I still...."

Mandel began to cry.

"I will Dad... I will *sob*"

Kaleb closed his eyes.

"Thats my boy... thats my strong, brave little boy... I... I'm sorry I wasn't able to see you grow up into the strong pokemon you are today."

Mandel held his father.

"Its not your fault Dad... It was never your fault. I forgive you."

Kaleb let out a sigh and closed his eyes, The maelstrom had drawn tighter on Mandel and Kaleb, spinning at a violent pace.

"Thank you my son... that means more to me than you will ever know..."

The Maelstrom began to calm and fade as wounds began to appear on Kalebs body. Wounds from the battle with Rhyperior all those years ago, temporarily removed with the power that now resided within Mandel.

Kalebs body suddenly fell limp in Mandels arms and Mandel began to panic.

"S...Someone! Anyone, Please someone has to help him!!!"

Jun's "lucky day"
Outside Hearthome


Jun had made one major mistake… he forgot the Ravager was between him and the forest. After turning his head back toward the forest all he could see was a metal leg driving itself into his chest. Knocking the breathe out of Jun and knocking him to the ground. “So that smoke did come from you,” said the external speaker on the Ravager as it stepped on Jun pushing his chest into the ground. If it pressed any harder it would crush his ribs.

One of the soldiers walked over next to Jun and said, “This must be your lucky day…” Then the soldier hopped on the Ravager while it stepped off of Jun’s chest. The second soldier said to Jun, “If you had been in Donegal we would have executed you on the spot… but good for you… you’re not and our ROEs do not allow us to give you justice. And we can’t stay here any longer so go and betray your kind… there is a special ring in **** for **** bags like you.”
The Ravager then walked off ignoring the HR leader. The Donegal Forces were being recalled completely.

Varik
Ruins of Pokemon Mansion
Route 212


Varik was moving south a “different” man. His voice was being changed by a small device hidden in his throat (which sucked to get in there), and much of his outward body appearance was different including his skin color which was a bit paler. All of this was thanks to Angel. Angel was actually a LOKI operative, a secret organization that answered only to the Archon, who was a master at this type of appearing and disappearing. Angel had trained Varik a little before coming here and had set him up with the equipment he needed to pull it off.

Why a LOKI member had joined the order was disturbing to Varik, but he accepted the help since he needed it. Since he couldn’t find Skyna anywhere here and the next best place to look was the Pokemon’s main city it seemed. He wasn’t going to just walk in there… he needed a plan, but he had nothing right now. He avoided Hearthome since there was a chance someone might ID him there. He moved onto 212 through the forest. He had to be careful to avoid the local pokemon, but he encountered none… the forest was so quiet and lifeless other than the trees. After several hours he came to a heavily damaged mansion. Pulling out his dart pistol he carefully went inside and started to check the place out. Thankfully there was no one there… no humans or pokemon. He did find some remains of humans and some pokemon. It looked like there had been a battle here, but that had been a while back.
Carefully choosing a spot in the mansion he sat against the wall to take a nap. He needed his energy for the tasks ahead, and he needed time to think. He had rashly executed his own death and now he had no idea what to do. First he had to find Skyna, and then he would focus on his main task. Everything he had seen up to this point reinforced the objectives in his mind. It was a long shot, but he had to try…

Skyna
Oreburgh
Next to Mandel


The Gardevoir stepped back from Mandel and watched the whole event unfold. She was confused by what was happening, but when everything finished happening. She heard Mandel scream out for help she stepped up and tried to heal Kaleb… but there was nothing there to heal. The vision began to fade away as she healed the ground instead of the Pokemon. “Mandel… there is nothing to heal… It’s a vision… or a bodiless soul,” she said as she continued to try to heal Kaleb. She knew it was useless, but perhaps it would help Mandel if she at least tried.

Mandel
Oreburgh City
Outside the armoury

Mandel watched as the Gardevoirs attempts at healing his father simply passed through him. There was nothing to be done... his father had died a long time ago. Mandel watched as his fathers very being began to fade. Suddenly from the bottom up his fathers body began to turn into vibrant green leaves which flew up into the air.

He realised that his Father had never actually been here, that it had just been his fathers spirit saying its last goodbye. Mandel began to cry again. It wasn't fair, why did he have to die just when he met him. Why was it that he didn't get to be loved or cared about by anyone for more than five seconds! Everything he ever loved had somehow been taken away from him. His original family, Lydia, his father. What on Earth was it? Why did Arceus above consider him unworthy of something as basic as love? Mandel felt the leves on his body glow a pure black which enveloped his body. Leaving nothing but a shadow with glowing orange eyes. Is this what is meant for him? To be a creature of Darkness and fight in the name of a cause he was beginning to wonder was right. He turned his head to see Lydia standing in an alleyway a small bit away. The shadows fled back into Mandels body and left him as he was, she still gave him a small shred of hope. Mandel didn't know what to believe anymore. Other than her he had nothing to hold onto, nothing to live for. No, that wasn't true. He had a mother, he had never met her, but he had a Mother and he had something to tell her, he had to tell her that his Dad never stopped loving them. He stood up. He turned and looked to the North, thats where his Mother was. Mandel had to get there. He turned to the Gardevoir.

"Thank you for trying to help me. I understand what my father was trying to tell me now." He looked down at his pendant it was now a pure crystaline clear, not a speck of dark or color, just purity.

Mandel began to walk North, but started thinking. He thought of everyone he had met. Lydia, Abe, Khufu and Hector, all of them were his friends, could he really just leave? The answer was obvious. Mandel stopped walkingand looked up at his fathers leaves blowing in the wind.

"I'm sorry Dad... but theres other things I need to attend to before I find Mom..." Mandel smiled and shut his eyes.

"But I promise I will find her." Mandel began to walk back into Oreburgh he walked past the spot where his father was lost and straight towards the alley where Lydia was.

"Lydia, I have to talk to you." He said, a sad smile on his face.

Lydia
Oreburgh City
Alley


"NO you can't! If I cared about everyone in here we'd all be dead meats!" the Reuniclus shot out, his face closing into hers with both of their glowing eyes countering each other. Rumble’s voice was pure madness, his frustration clear and frightening. The small pokemon inside her mane tucked more into her fur in reaction to his booming voice. Lydia allowed her friend to turn away, but both of their frowns were large. Nothing could persuade her to change her mind, as Rumble was probably the same. "I feel vengeful for the humans, but that makes me waste my time with stupid city invasions just to feel the risk and the touch of adrenaline. Nothing more stupid than a genius like me wasting his time with them”. The Zorua kept quiet, trying to release her ever growing tension. Her ruby eyes immediately stopped glowing at the voice of Hector, who quickly went to face her friend. She kept her ears up.

"Field General Rumble! I'm giving a widespread order for everyone from the PR to gather here in Oreburgh. Send Pokemon to every corner of our territory and get every member. We're launching our final assault. We're taking Sunyshore”. Lydia smiled, overly happy to know their nonstop fighting would soon be over, as would the war. She looked upward to Rumble, who’s expressions were serious in eye-contact to the Arcanine. "I see. But let's not rush it here, Arcturus. The human forces might have improved even more... Do we have time for our spies to infiltrate Sunyshore? Also, when are we going to summon Groudon?".
"No, Rumble, this is the exact time when we should be rushing. If we send a few spies now...there should be time while everyone gathers. Once everyone has arrived in Oreburgh, we are going to move out, so we're going to have to give the spies some kind of signal to let them know to return. As for the Legendary Pokemon, that will be summoned, we'll do it once we begin moving. For now, everyone must come here to Oreburgh. Meet with me in an hour to discuss the battle plan. Bring any other people with you who know a thing or two about strategy, including Khufu”.
Groudon? The continental pokemon? Lydia had no idea how they were to summon such a large pokemon to war, but if they did, there would be nothing to hold the PR back. As for Sunyshore, she was a spy, but now also a mother. The Zorua would have to have someone watch her egg and baby if she was ever going to gather information again. Looking upward,the Reuniclus was glancing at her with a small smile. “As always, I'll be having an escape plan. I have a hunch the longlegs might be preparing a surprise in Sunnyshore. You never know, so try to keep in touch with me,” he advised, Lydia nodding obediently.

"Let's see each other in the Commander's room?" Rumble said aloud, neither looking at Lydia nor Hector. She nodded once more before letting the two leave, her friend levitation in resemblance to a ghost. Lydia shrugged to herself, not sure what to do. Peering inside her bag, she moved aside the large egg to grab some snacks with her tiny paw, handing them to the little pokemon she had on her back. It eagerly accepted them before shoving all of them into its mouth.

"Lydia, I have to talk to you,” a voice said, the Zorua turning to see Mandel again. He had a depressing smile on which only made her feel worse. She let out a sigh, “I’m listening…”

(soz for short post)

“I’m listening…” Lydia said. with a sigh.

"I just came to tell you that after this battles over I plan on leaving... and I don't intend on coming back." Mandel closed his eyes.

"I have someone I have to take care of in snowpoint city. I just wanted you to know as I don't know if we'll get a chance to talk after this is all over." Mandel reopened his eyes and sighed.

"Everything thats happened between us and everything that the war has done to us shouldn't matter. Your one of the only things that kept me going up to this point and I don't want to leave with this barrier between us."

Mandel smiled.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is..."

Mandel stopped for a moment then bowed his head and continued.

"Its been an honour to meet you Lydia the Zorua."

Mark's Condo


Althalos woke up abruptly. He hadn't even known he had passed out on the couch. He had been having a dream the same as the hallucination he had in Oreburgh. "I know where he is, Blitz." Althalos said and got up. He grabbed his weapons from where Mark had put them and then left. "Sorry, Mark." You'll either need Silence back or have to do your little mission on your own. I won't be back for possibly a few days. Tell Jack that I have business to attend to if you get the chance to talk to him. Bye, Lilac, Mark. Best of luck to the both of you in the future." He said and left. Althalos sprinted all the way to the helipad at the HQ and told his pilot to take him to Jubilife. The pilot gave him a concerned look. "But isn't that a city controlled by pokemon now?" Althalos nodded. "Look, I'll pay you half of whatever I get for my next two pay checks. I need to go to the river that separates Jubilife and Canalave. Keep your radio to my private channel at all times. I might need a quick evac." With that, the helicopter took off towards Jubilife.

Tell Jack that I have business to attend to if you get the chance to talk to him. Bye, Lilac, Mark. Best of luck to the both of you in the future." Althalos was gone before Mark could get out a simple "Wait." He stood up and jogged over to the door which wasn't shut. Taking off after the spy, He got to the helipad a second to late. He took out his Silence smg, pulling out the clip and shooting the chambered bullet into the pavement and tossed it into the black hawk following with the clip. He yelled "Spray and pray, It solves any problem!" as loud as he could then gave a quick wave and headed out of the airfield. There was a gunsmith somewhere in the city, he just didn't remember where. Mark had been meaning to get a new gun for some time now, and now that he had handed off his MP-7, he could pick up an assault rifle. He asked around and was directed to a brick building. Mark entered the building and talked to the smith who agreed to make him a custom ACR pretty cheap. With that Vargas headed back to his home on the beach.

Sunny-Shore


The group of soldiers and I were called into sunny shore to set up a better base camp. I looked at the Ravager, It couldn't just sit out here. I walked over to it and opened the hatch. I connected the wire to connect my brain to the machine and pressed the button. I got shocked and saw an image. It looked like a person... they looked very sick. Not like fever sick like dying sick. There was a redish haze around the person. I then noticed a pokemon in the background, it looked sick to. I tried to make out who the person was. It looked... like... me? I lost the image in my head and was awakened by the Ravager HUD. I caught my breath and began moving the Ravager into SunnyShore. I was getting better at maneuvering it. I took it to the back part of the city and lowered it down. I pressed the button again so I was released. I unplugged the wire and stepped out of the Ravager. A few choppers showed up and dropped off some HR, weapons, and ammunition. One soldier jumped off and approached me. "Are you the new Ravager Pilot?" The soldier asked "Yes thats me at your service." I responded with a salute. He saluted back and said "Tune your radio to channel 752 so you can communicate with other Ravager Pilots and other vehicles. Hope you know how to drive that monster."
"Yes sir" I responded. I walked over to the Ravager and put on my helmet.

I opened the hatch and got into the Ravager. I wired up the wires again as I can't tune my radio for the Ravager without it being on. I then pressed the button and got shocked out cold again. All I could see was gun fire, and hyper beams. I then was able to see some sort of orb or circle dropping from the sky. It hit the ground and a Large explosion went off. The sonic boom of the explosion came in fast. I saw the Ravager HUD as it hit me. Then I was awakened. I tuned my helmet to channel 752 and could hear other Ravager Pilots talking. I just ignored it for now and turned off the Ravager. Almost got out without pushing the button but I caught my self. I pressed the button and got out of the Ravager.
