Chapter 9: Visions of Darkness
Chase: “I should’ve known you’d be here! Now what is it that you want with us this time?” Chase and Vik were in a conference room inside the base. They were each tied to a chair by Ariados’ String Shot attack. However, they both noticed that something was different about Shade this time. Shade kept on interrogating the two of them while his Darkrai had taken AJ somewhere else in the base.
Shade: “I’ll ask one more time. How did you obtain a Chaos Driver? Why are you two travelling across the country? Most important, who told you to come here?” Chase stayed silent for a moment. He wasn’t sure if he should tell him that it was Gwen who had betrayed Team Chaos once again. He knew that they needed Gwen’s help to solve the worldwide wild pokemon problem.
Chase: “We were just in the neighbourhood. Lucas wondered into this base so we came in here looking for him.”
Vik: “We got our pokeradar from one of the other Team Chaos members. It’s amazing what you losers bet these days, especially when they know they’ll lose.” Shade could tell Vik was lying.
Shade: “Maybe I need to make my point more clear. Tell me what I want to know or I’ll rip it out of you! You’ve experienced Dark Void attack before, but I assure you Darkrai can make any experience worse than you can imagine.” Chase shuddered at the thought of that. He remembered the nightmares he had from Darkrai’s attacks as well as how painful a Dream Eater attack can be. Soon Chase realized he had no choice.
Chase: “Gwen told me to come here on a mission. She told us to find anything here that would help us figure out what has caused so many wild pokemon to appear in my time. She also gave us the Chaos Driver.”
Shade: “Now we’re getting somewhere.”
Vik: “Alright, we answered your question so now it’s your turn. Where’s AJ and what are you having Darkrai do to him?”
Shade: “Let me just say I’m here on a mission just like you are. Team Chaos has lost some valuable information when Skyler was lost, so I’m here to retrieve it.”
Vik: “I have a bad feeling about this.”
Chase: “You can’t do that! Skyler is not who you think he is. He’s true identity is my best friend AJ and he knows who he is. Thanks to you and your fellow Admins he has amnesia and no matter how you hack his mind you won’t find anything. His memory of his days as Skyler are long gone.”
Shade: “Shut up! I’m only here to follow orders and take back what was stolen from Team Chaos! Ariados, use Poison Jab to numb the both of them!” Ariados begins to crawl across the table toward Vik and Chase. With their hands tied behind their backs they couldn’t reach their Elite Balls. At that moment, Lucas appeared with Kirlia, Spiny, and Machop. Lucas saw the Ariados with its rear end glowing a bright purple and recognize the Poison Jab attack.
Lucas: “Machop, use Mega Punch on Ariados! Spiny, use your horn to cut the threads on Vik and Chase!” Lucas’s two pokemon spring into action. First, Machop lands a Mega Punch that blows Ariados away. Then Spiny cuts Chase and Vik free. Shade reacts by recalling Ariados into his Elite Ball and then retreats. He’d spent too much time in the past and had to get AJ back to the future. Meanwhile, Chase and Vik recuperate from what just happened.
Chase: “Lucas, you and your pokemon ok?”
Vik: “It’s a good thing you showed up in the nick of time. I’ve seen what Croagunk does to brock to I’d hate to find out what an Ariados’s Poison Jab would do to us.”
Lucas: “We’re ok, but where’s AJ?”
Chase: “I don’t know. He could be anywhere in this base and we need to find a way to tract him and Shade down.”
Vik: “Dude, we have that pokeradar that tracks pokemon in control of the Elite ball. If he’s still using that Darkrai then we still have a chance.” Chase searches his backpack for a second and then pulls out the chaos driver. Once he turned it on, two red dots and a yellow dot appeared toward the center of the screen. The red dots were Spiny and Machop and since Lucas had released Kirlia from the Heal Ball it showed up as a wild pokemon on the radar. Then there was another red dot toward the left edge of the screen. That must’ve been Darkrai.
Lucas: “So that’s where the bad guy’s hiding?”
Vik: “Let’s go and hopefully while we’re at it we can convince him not to mess with us any more.”
Chase: “Wait, if Shade has one of these radars as well, then he can track us using Lucas’s pokemon. You’ll have to recall them and recapture Kirlia, Lucas.”
Lucas: “Fine. Spiny and Machop, time to return but we’ll be battling real soon, so be ready.” Lucas’s two pokemon nod as they are recalled back into their pokeballs.
Kirlia (telepathically):
Lucas, before you capture me I want you to know something. I can hear your brothers thoughts and it’s not something you want to hear. My Synchronize ability will let you hear his thoughts but you may not like it. Lucas was determined to help his brother with his memory problems, and at that moment he knew Kirlia’s Synchronize would be the best way to solve AJ’s amnesia problems.
Lucas: “OK Kirlia, but I also want my friends to hear my brother’s thoughts as well.” Kirlia nods and then starts to glow blue all over its body. Then the area is distorted and the three boys find themselves in a dark area with no light what so ever. Then there was a voice, AJ’s voice, speaking and echoing all around.
AJ’s thoughts: This place… this pain… so familiar. Where is everybody? Just then there’s a face. It was a man’s face who looked in his late forties, had a thin moustache, a slightly wrinkled forehead, and his hair was more grey than it was brown. He looked familiar though, but Chase and Vik couldn’t remember who he resembled.
Commander Serph: “Greetings Skyler. I’m Commander Serph. I’ll be your trainer for today. I welcome you to Team Chaos.”
AJ’s thoughts: These memories… they aren’t mine… and yet… so familiar… The scene changed as AJ looked in the mirror. His hair was cut shorter than it normally was and dyed brown. He was also wearing the blue Team Chaos Admin uniform.
Vik: “Darkrai must be finding AJ’s lost memories as Skyler and using them to Brainwash AJ again.”
Chase: “I don’t think Darkrai’s brainwashing AJ yet. Just listen to AJ’s thoughts. ‘This time, this place, so familiar.’ AJ is still himself, but something about this still doesn’t seem right.” The group looks up and they see Darkrai’s eyes. It looked like the eyes were searching for something. Soon the vision changed again. It was an email with an order. The subject read “backup plan” and the it was from the email address
worlds_end@gmail .com. Chase, Vik, and Lucas started to read the email.
To Skyler and friends
The God pokemon project is due to backfire and I fear for the worst. Jason will brainwash you again, but he can’t erase your memory. If you read this email then there’s still hope. I will travel trough time and release millions of wild pokemon on earth. This will throw TC in for a loop and slow them down. Skyler, after Jason brainwashes you again you won’t remember reading this but since Hypno can’t erase your memory-
The vision stopped after that. Kirlia had passed out from using so much energy to have everyone see AJ’s thoughts.
Chase: “Lucas, I think Kirlia should rest in a pokeball now.”
Lucas: “OK, as long as it’s not that pink one.” Chase hands Lucas a regular pokeball. Lucas taps it against Kirlia and recaptures it.
“Take a nice rest Kirlia. You deserve it.”
Vik: “Chase, did you see that email?”
Chase: “Yeah, whoever has the email address Worlds_end@gmial .com is the one who released all the wild pokemon in our time. This was planned from the very beginning, before I got my own cartridge ball.” Chase takes a minute to find a piece of paper and a pencil and then he writes down the email address with a note saying that that’s the person they’re looking for.
Vik: “Dude, I wonder why Darkrai was looking at the email as well.”
Chase: “Gwen said that Team Chaos doesn’t know who released the wild pokemon either. I bet Jason told Shade that AJ’s been brainwashed more than once. No wonder he has amnesia about the past couple years.”
Lucas: “Guys, my brother still needs to be rescued.”
Chase: “Hold on Lucas, I just realized that there was something else weird about that email. It was address to Skyler and friends. It’s as if the writer of that email knew one of us would eventually read it.”
Vik: “That is weird. Who in the future knows about us?”
Lucas: “Chase! Sometime before AJ turns into a bad guy again would be nice!” Lucas was becoming very impatient and worried about his brother. Chase takes another look at the radar and Darkrai’s dot was still on the edge of the screen.
Chase: “OK, let’s go.” They leave the conference room and then head down the hall. The hallway also had some hardened magma in it. Soon there was a build up of hardened magma that blocked their way.
Lucas: “Spiny, punch through the rock wall with Horn Drill!” Lucas throws his pokeball and Spiny comes out. It tries to drill though the rock wall but it was no use.
Chase: “Let’s try Aggron again. Use Metal Burst!” Chase threw his Elite ball and Shiny Aggron appeared and punched the rock wall. It managed to make a huge dent but it appeared that the build up was very deep. The hole that Aggron made was at least two feet in. There was no telling how much they had to dig through. Then the situation became worse. A portal opened behind them Jason had emerged from it.
Chase: “Jason? What are you doing here?” Jason’s Celebi also emerged from the portal. He recalled it back into his Elite ball and the portal disappeared.
Jason: “I only have one thing on my mind right now, and that thing is revenged!” Jason gripped the Elite ball in his hand. Chase and Vik also grabbed their Elite Balls.
Chase: “Lucas, you go with your Kirlia. You’re the only one who can save AJ now.”
Vik: “We’ll take care of Jason. You just show Shade what you can do.”
Lucas: “But what if I can’t do it. After all, Vik said that I mess things up.”
Chase: “If we think you’ll mess up then why did we come looking for you in the first place? AJ needs you and your pokemon believe in you.”
Jason: “Are we done talking yet? Mewtwo and Regigigas, prepare for battle!”
Vik: “Tyranitar…”
Chase: “Yanmega…”
Chase and
Vik: “Let’s get ‘em!” Lucas didn’t waste anytime either.
Lucas: “Let’s go Kirlia! We can’t let Shade get away.” Kirlia nodded and then they teleported away. Meanwhile, Shade used Darkrai to look into AJ’s head.
Shade: “Come on Darkrai, keep looking for what we need.” Darkrai showed Shade one more vision that Vik, Lucas, and Chase didn’t get to see. The setting this time was somewhere in the base right before Chase and Vik had invaded it three months before. Jason was telling AJ something while he was still brainwashed into thinking he was Skyler, a Team Chaos Admin along with Shade. This must’ve been while Shade was also hypnotized sometime before his Darkrai had snapped him out of it.
Jason: “Skyler, you are no longer the leader of Team Chaos. You’ll follow only my orders. As for you Shade, I no longer need you since you’re expendable. My plan in almost into fruition and when the God Pokemon Project succeeds here in the past, I’ll rule this world. You and Shade will be eradicated along with that pesky kid Chase and his other friends. Whoever planned on stopping me in the future hasn’t even tried yet. I have nothing to fear. Now, go out there and don’t let Chase or any of his friends get inside the base.”
This showed Shade that Jason knew more then he led on. Shade knew that someone had threatened Team Chaos that they’d stop them. Shade had also seen the email from worlds_end@gmail .com,except he was able to read the entire email while the others didn’t. Shade knew more than anyone else but he still didn’t know enough.
Shade: “Darkrai, can you find anymore memories that will help us with our wild pokemon mystery?” At that moment Lucas teleported into the room where Shade had been hiding.
Lucas: “Let my brother go right now or you’ll be sorry!”
Shade: “You’re that pesky brat. I’ll let your brother go when I’m done with him. Darkrai, get back to work. Use Dark Void.”
Lucas: “Kirlia, use Disable. Don’t let Darkrai brainwash my brother again!” Kirlia was able to stop Darkrai right in its tracks. Now Shade was really ticked off.
Shade: “Alright, I tried to go easy on you, but you’ve pushed me to my breaking point!” Lucas didn’t back down one bit. He knew what was at stake but he wouldn’t let Shade see his fear, or Shade would use it against him.
Chapter 10: A Warrior’s Awakening
Lucas stared at Shade for a moment, trying to hide his nervousness. He thought of this more of the bottom of the ninth at a little league game with two outs. One mistake is all it would take for Shade to walk away with AJ and whatever secretes are in his mind. Shade threw his Elite ball and released his pokemon.
Shade: “Rhyperior, action time! Darkrai, you’ll battle as well!” Rhyperior appeared from the Elite Ball and Darkrai also appeared. Kirlia looked at Lucas and then sent him a telepathic message.
Kirlia (telepathically):
I can return your brother to normal. Let your other pokemon take care of them. Lucas nodded and then threw his other two pokeballs.
Lucas: “Machop and Spiny, get ready for battle!” Lucas’ two pokemon were released and they gave out cries showing that they were ready for battle.
“I know you two can do this! Spiny, use Poison Jab on Darkrai. Machop, use Dynamic Punch on Rhyperior!” Shade: “Darkria, use Night Shade to push Nidorino back. Rhyperior, use Rock Cannon to block Machop!” Both of Shade’s pokemon were able to fire two perfect counter attacks that completely immobilized both of Lucas’s pokemon. Spiny was pushed away by the powerful Night Shade attack and Rhyperior’s Rock Cannon produced a boulder that was too huge for Machop to lift or shatter with its Dynamic Punch. Rhyperior hid behind the boulder as it recharged.
Lucas: “Team Work guys. Machop, Dynamic Punch! Spiny, Horn Drill!” Spiny and Machop were able to leave huge cracks in the boulder this time. As they attempted to smash the boulder, Kirlia used its Disable attack on AJ to stop his nightmares. Then it used its Synchronize ability so AJ would have an easier time remembering who he was. Shade was not about to let Lucas succeed.
Shade: “Rhyperior, show those pipsqueaks a real Horn Drill!” Rhyperior charges through the boulder as it shatters to pieces. Then Spiny is hit by Phyperior’s Horn Drill and is OHKO’d. Kirlia noticed what had happened and awakened AJ. Surely enough, he did wake up and was still his normal self but he still had the same amnesia problem.
AJ: “A Kirlia? Wow, you seem familiar… as if I’ve met you before.”
Kirlia (telepathicall):
No time to explain. I need to help your brother. Kirlia teleported to Lucas’ side to take Machop’s place. That’s when AJ noticed there was a battle going on. Just like Kirlia, Shade seemed familiar to him but he couldn’t figure out where he had seen the Team Chaos Admin before. Then he inspected the pokemon and saw the disadvantage Lucas had.
AJ: “Lucas what are you doing? You’re going to lose!”
Lucas: “I’m fighting for you big bro.” AJ reached into his pocket and grabbed his Elite Ball.
AJ: “Well let me take over before this Team Chaos jerk takes over your mind.”
Shade: “Sorry, no substitutions allowed.”
Lucas: “Don’t you believe in me anymore big bro?” AJ realized he had no choice but to watch the battle.
AJ: “You can do it Lucas.” Lucas smiled and nodded at his brother. Elsewhere in the base, another battle was taking place.
Jason: “Chase, I have a bone to pick with you, but I’ll explain everything once I’ve hypnotized you and your friends. Mewtwo, use Psychic! Regigigas, use Drain Punch on Tyranitar!” Chase and Vik were ready for this. They’ve battled each other so many times that they knew each other’s combinations by heart. That was one of the benefits for being each other’s top rival.
Chase: “Yanmega, use Detect to Dodge!”
Vik: “Tyranitar, Stone Edge attack on Mewtwo!” The Psychic attack had affected neither Tyranitar nor Yanmega. Regigagas’ Slow Start Ability was making it move in slow Motion. Tyranitar was able to dodge the Drain Punch with ease then performed a Stone Edge attack on Mewtwo, but it missed Mewtwo. The first round of attacks ended in a stalemate.
Jason: “Finish Tyranitar with one Aura Sphere!”
Chase: “Not so fast. Yanmega, use Bug Buzz!” Yanmega moved so quickly that it seemed more like it teleported in front of Mewtwo. Then it generated a huge shockwave with its Bug Buzz attack and knocked Mewtwo down.
Jason: “That Yanmega has the Speed Boost ability. That’s why it attacked before Mewtwo, and also why Chase had it use Detect in the first place. Regigigas, use Crush Grip. Squash that bug!” Like Yanmega, Regigigas was also beginning to move faster, but not fast enough. Yanmega was too fast for it. Jason was becoming frustrated.
Vik: “Tyranitar, use Crunch to finish off Mewtwo!” Tyranitar moved in for a direct attack. Mewtwo quickly recovered from the Bug Buzz and then fired an Aura Sphere. It was a direct hit and Tyranitar was hit hard, but Vik was prepared for it. Tyranitar quickly ate the Chopple Berry Vik gave it while it was still in his Pearl Game. The Aura Sphere would’ve knocked it out in one shot, but Vik was too smart to fall for a trick like that. Tyranitar landed a crunch attack on Mewtwo and it was down for the count.
Jason: “I’m not giving in that easily. Regigigas, use Drain Punch and Mewtwo, use Ice Beam to stop Yanmega!” Mewtwo fired an array of Ice Beams and Yanmega was hit by one beam and slowed down by the ice that formed on its wings.
Chase: “Yanmega, use another Detect!”
Jason: “I’m sorry, but you’ve already failed. Regigigas, use Crush Grip to finish off Yanmega!” Yanmega’s Detect attack only boosted its ability to dodge in the real world, unlike in the game where it just protected itself. Regigigas was able to land a Crush Grip attack on Yanmega which was enough to KO it.
Vik: “You left your Mewtwo defenceless. Tyranitar, use Earthquake!” Tyranitar triggered an earthquake that was strong enough to KO Mewtwo and reduce more of Regigigas’ health. Jason recalled his Mewtwo but wasn’t too worried about the battle now that Regigigas’ Slow Start had worn off. Now the battle had reached its critical stage. Chase could only watch now as their fate was in Vik’s hands. However he still wondered about Lucas and AJ. They were in one of the battle arenas in the base locked in a battle with Shade.
Shade: “Darkria, use Dark Void to put them both to sleep!”
Lucas: “Kirlia, use Teleport so the attack won’t work on you or Machop!” Lucas had seen Shade’s tactics before and was ready for them. Kirlia managed to teleport itself and Machop away from the Dark Void’s range.
AJ: “Nice going Lucas.”
Lucas: “Now watch this. Machop, use Dynamic Punch on Darkrai! Kirlia, use Magical Leaf on Rhyperior!”
Shade: “You both can take these attacks.” Shade’s Darkrai just levitated there as the Dynamic Punch attack hit it hard. It was powerful enough to Confuse Darkrai. Then Rhyperior is hit by Kirlia’s Magical Leaf, but Shade wasn’t worried since it had the Hard Rock ability. However, Rhyperior was still weakening. That was because Spiny’s Poison Point ability had poisoned it when the Horn Drill attack hit it.
Lucas: “It worked. Darkai’s confused and Rhyperior will lose since it’s poisoned.”
AJ: “Great job little bro, but you need to keep your guard up.”
Shade: “You should listen to your brother. Darkrai, use Dark Void!” Despite its confusion, Darkrai used its Dark Void attack and that’s when Lucas realized that he had fallen into Shade’s trap. Machop fell victim to Darkrai’s spell.
“Now use Dream Eater!”
Lucas: “Kirlia, help Machop!”
Kirlia (telepathically):
It’s too late. Machop had all of its strength drained from Dream Eater. Machop could no longer continue battling. Now the situation was pretty grim.
Shade: “Rhyperior, use Rock Cannon on Kirlia!” Kirlia sensed the Rock Cannon and tried to dodge. The Boulder landed pretty close but the shockwave of the impact threw Kirlia back into Lucas’ arms. Lucas fell backwards as he caught Kirlia. His backpack fell over when he landed and the blue rock fell out of it.
Lucas: “Are you OK, Kirlia?” Kirlia looked at the rock for a second.
Kirlia (telepathically):
Lucas, what’s that? Lucas saw the rock that Zach and Katie had given him.
Lucas: “It’s a rock for good luck that my friends gave me. Isn’t it cool?” That’s when Lucas thought of his friends Zach and Katie and then he realized how many people had believed in him from the start. His parents, Zach, Katie, Chase, AJ, and even Vik. He was never a trouble maker and he really did help even when it didn’t seem like it at the time. This feeling gave Lucas new courage and Kirlia could feel it with its Synchronize ability. It used it’s Confusion attack to levitate the rock and then it grabbed onto it.
Kirlia (telepathically):
I can feel your friends Lucas. I can feel your courage and your determination. This is for your friends and family. Lucas felt a new feeling inside of him as well. It was something he never felt before but he knew that Kirlia had used its Synchronize to make his mind one with it. Then the rock along with Kirlia started glowing. Lucas didn’t know it but Zach and Katie had given him a Dawn Stone and it was causing Kirlia to evolve.
Shade: “What? How is this happening?”
AJ: “You don’t get it, do you Shade?”
Shade: “You actually remember who I am?”
AJ: “Kirlia had helped me remember a few things as well. My brother has more power and strength than anyone thought because of his friends and family. He’s not just a little kid anymore.” Lucas took a step back as Kirlia continued its evolution. He knew Kirlia was evolving and he could feel it becoming stronger as it changed form. Soon it stopped glowing and had evolved into a Gallade. Gallade didn’t have the Synchronize ability anymore, but Lucas could still sense its thoughts and the same went for Gallade.
Lucas: “Shade, you better not bother us again! Go Gallade, show them what you can do!” Both of the swords on Gallade’s arms glowed a bright blue, and then it performed a Psycho Cut attack and sliced the boulder from the Rock Cannon attack. Not only that, but the Psycho Cut also hit Rhyperior with a Critical Hit.
Shade: “I won’t be beaten by a kid again! Darkrai, use Dark Void!” Lucas remained calm and Gallade was able to do the same. Human and Pokemon had become one and the power it was forming was incredible. AJ and Shade watched was Gallade used a Disable attack to completely immobilize Darkrai. After that Gallade teleported right next to Darkrai.
Lucas: “Let ‘em have it, Gallade!” Gallade swung its left arm as it glowed green. It swapped the Magical Leaf attack for a Leaf Blade and Darkrai was hit hard once again.
Shade: “Rhyperior, use Horn Drill to finish it off.”
Lucas: “Teleport, then Leaf Blade again!” Gallade did just that and the Leaf Blade was strong enough to defeat Rhyperior. The Poison had drained the last of Rhyperior’s health and Shade was forced to call it back.
Shade: “Darkrai, use Night Shade!”
Lucas (thinking): Gallade, look out behind you! Gallade heard Lucas’ thoughts and then used a Psycho Cut attack to deflect the Night Shade, however doing so left it weak. Darkrai was also weak as well.
Shade: “Darkrai, use Dark Pulse!”
Lucas: “You can do it, Gallade! Leaf Blade!” Darkrai fired a wave of darkness for its attack while Gallade made its right sword glow green. Just before the Dark Pulse hits, it Teleports out of the way and next to Darkrai. Finally, it delivers the final blow and Darkrai is KO’d by a critical hit. Shade had lost to Lucas once again. Gallade and Lucas both stared at Shade and stood by for anything sneaky he’d tried to pull off.
Shade: “So I lost again, dig deal. Darkria, return!” Darkrai was recalled into Shade’s Elite Ball and into his Diamond game. Shade left quietly after that. He may not have gotten what he came for, but now he knew enough.
AJ: “Lucas, that was incredible. You and Gallade rocked!”
Lucas: “Thanks big bro. Gallade, you are the coolest pokemon ever. I know you don’t have Synchronize anymore, but you’ll still be a valuable friend on our team. Go ahead and get back in your pokeball.” Gallade nodded and was recalled back into it’s pokeball.
AJ: “Your Gallade is one tough fighter. By the way, where’s everyone else?”
Lucas: “Oh no, one of the other bad guys is battling them right now. But I need to heal Spiny and Machop.”
AJ: “Here, I’ll heal them.” Lucas released his injured pokemon and AJ gave them each a Max Revive. Soon all of Lucas’ pokemon were in tip top shape and ready for battle.
Lucas: “So now what do we do?”
AJ: “I remember something very important, but we got to find Chase and Vik first. There’s something we all should know, and not just me.” They ran out into the hallway and toward where the battle with Jason was taking place. AJ also knew everything they needed to know thanks to Kirlia. But now that Kirlia had evolved into Gallade and lost the Synchronize ability, it could no longer help AJ remember anything else. The mystery was becoming clearer to AJ, but it was also becoming more dangerous and puzzling with each step.
