Legends of the Elemental Ones

Hilao sighed once more. There was nothing happening really. Most of the group were still near the ruined church, but one was walking down the path with a Gardevior. What suprises me is that the Fire and Rescue and Police services havn't arrived yet...but then again, the Government probably called them off. He turned, pointed at the ground, and focused. After a moment, a small shoot emerged from the ground. It grew bigger and bigger until it was a huge tree. Hilao quickly climbed the tree, and sat in one of the branches. It wasn't until it was too late that he noticed the Raichu and Dragonite staring up at him.

~~~

"Come, Draco, I trust you know the location of the elemantals?" Cory asked.
The dragon nodded and spoke to Hax. The Porygon-Z dissapeared into Cory's phone. It buzzed. He lifted the phone out, just as Hax jumped free from the camera. The message read;
One of the elementals is alone, at Mount Coronet.
"Draco, take Rairai and Hax with you. If he's alone, bring him to me, alive, but if he's with others simply continue to spy."
The dragon nodded. Rairai took Cory's phone, Hax jumped into it then Rairai jumped onto Draco's back.

~~~

The Dragonite flew fast over the trees, high above the clouds. They soon saw a big tree on a ledge. "He's up there." Draco said
"Got it! Let's get him, but make sure we don't fry Hax!"
The Dragonite alighted softly behind the tree, and began to sneak forward until he was directly underneath the elemental. Rairai put down the phone slowly, and began to charge some static electricity. The boy fell from the tree. "Alright, let's get him back to Master." Rairai offered
Draco nodded and picked up the human.
 
Ellie sensed when Franklin was near. <Hello, Franklin.> she said before watching the "fight. <Lycis... if you have another outburst like that and escape from your Pokéball again... I know Andrew probably let you do that, but he trusted me with you guys.> She lifted up her shirt slightly to reveal his Pokémon belt, along with hers. <Now that you are here, Franklin, we must start to Mount Coronet.>
 
Iowa returned Andrew to his cell, and once again restrained the boy. He turned to Delaware and Washington, and then floated out of the cell without another word. Delaware and Washington then themselves stood just outside of the cell, where they couldn't be seen.

After several moments of dead silence, Andrew began to regain consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, and found himself back in the cell.

I guess Goodwin chose not to continue with the interrogation until later. I suppose I should be thankful.

Outside of the cell, Delaware heard Andrew waking up, and nodded to Washington.

He suddenly started at the sound of a voice outside of the cell.

"...but he's not going to be happy about it regardless of how thrilling the fight was for him."

That particular voice sounded very... childish. It didn't sound too human, though.

"Well, this is Oregon we're talking about here," another voice, one that sounded calm and almost mechanical, "he would only be satisfied if he got to kill the boy. Master Goodwin would never allow that."

It took Andrew a few seconds to realize that he was hearing Goodwin's pokemon talking amongst themselves.

"Well, how would you react if you had the upper hand only to get beaten back down in a matter of seconds?"

"I wouldn't mind as much, considering that I'm not Oregon," the second pokemon said, "now drop the matter. Master Goodwin certainly has; he's satisfied that we found out what we did."

"Say, Washington... do you think what Master Goodwin is doing is... right?"

"Delaware, are you questioning Master Goodwin's ideals," the voice now carried a hint of menace, "you should know better than to do such a thing."

"I know, but that human... he's pretty young, even by our standards. You saw what Master Goodwin was doing to him... I don't think that it's right."

"It's not our place to ask what's 'right' or 'wrong,' nor are we to question what Master Goodwin is doing. That boy is a monster; caught somewhere in between us and humans. What Master Goodwin is doing to him is only appropriate for someone... something like him."

"I know, but that's the thing; why doesn't Master Goodwin simply bring him completely into humanity? That particular substance has been theorized to work; Master Goodwin could use this as a field test for the boy."

"Delaware... I will not report this conversation to Master Goodwin. I understand why you are having such doubts; it's natural for your species. Just know that I'll be..."

The voice began to grow distant. It was clear now that they were walking away from the cell.

Only then did Andrew realize that the Magnezone that normally guarded him wasn't in his cell.

Not that it makes a difference," he thought, after that battle, I won't be going anywhere on my own for a while.
----
Once the two were out of what they estimated was the earshot of the prisoner, Washington turned to Delaware and said: "That went well."

"You really think so?" Delaware wondered, "I think I brought the matter up far too easily."

"That's part of the plan," Washington said, "he know of it now, sooner or later he'll bring it up for Master Goodwin to hear, and that will be that."

"I suppose so," the Clefable said. She turned to Washingotn and added, "I hope you know that I didn't mean all of those things I said about this being the wrong thing."

"I never thought you did," Washington said, floating away, "now let's find Master Goodwin and tell him that it worked."

Cory was already waiting for the Dragonite to return. "Good work, Draco. Now, we must go find Mr. Goodwin and tell him. In fact, Hax, send him a text. It'll be faster."
The phone shivered, then pinged, and Porygon-Z came out. "Rairai, Hax, return. Draco, carry the boy." The ducked inside the building, past the reception and into the main hall. He walked to Mr. Goodwin's door and knocked. "Mr. Goodwin?"
 
Getting up from the ground, Franklin dusted himself off, then recalled his Scizor. "Thanks for talking to that thing," he said to Lucille. "Sorry about that." Turning to Ellie, he said, "Yeah, we should be heading out around now. You have to head to the west and south side of town. Then we'll just keep heading west. Follow me," said Franklin as he turned around and headed back in the direction of the church.

Jack headed into Andrew's cell again. "Hello, Andrew. Food will be coming shortly. You should eat it; that isn't the last time you'll be battling Oregon. And I will warn you, he's a sore loser. Is there anything else you want?"

Without saying anything to anyone, Lucille returned Illiamna to her Pokeball. "I'm sure she won't be too happy about that, but I have to travel to Mt. Coronet," she said as she flicked her hair out of her eyes. She took out another Pokeball and with a red stream of light, an Altaria appeared. He hovered just a few feet from the ground, stretching his body. "Did you really have to leave me in there for that long?"

"Sorry Kenai," Lucille apologized. She decided to take her own route instead of following anyone. "I need you to fly me up to Mt. Coronet." Kenai nodded, and let Lucille get on him. She always wondered how he could manage her weight. He quickened the flapping of his wings and took off for Mt. Coronet.
-------------------------------------------------
Walking down to Andrew's cell, the clicking of her heels was the only sound she could hear. However, when she got to his cell, she realized Jack was also there. She wore a disappointed look on her face. Ignoring Jack, she looked at Andrew with her mismatched eyes. She, unfortunately, was not going to be as hospitable to the Elemental.

"How powerful are the others? Do you even know the extent of their powers?" she asked, a bit forceful.
 
"Extent? I knew them for half an hour, tops. I didn't-" he started to cough, "I didn't get a chance to see their powers in effect."

He turned to Jack, "There's really nothing else I need, other than food and water," his voice had lost the edge it had when he was speaking to Jack earlier. Maybe the fight with Oregon - apparently that was the name of the Tyranitar - had taken it out of him, maybe the interrogation had. he wasn't really sure.

There was a sudden buzzing noise, and then Goodwin's Magnezone flew into the cell, accidentally jostling the woman and coming to a halt in front of Jack. A note was magnetically attached to the center of its head, although nobody but Jack could see it unless they were right in front of the Magnezone. The note read:

Jack, I want you to call Franklin. Iowa has failed to find him in his office, and he was not present for the battle with Oregon. You need to remind him that he has a job to do, and reprimand him in some way for missing this.
-David

Goodwin was reviewing the report of the battle when he heard a knock on the door. He opened it to find another employee of his, Cory, outside of the door.

"Is there a problem?" Goodwin asked, "Cory, if you are worried about missing the battle, you needn't worry; you were not part of the assigned group, and I will be having the boy fight Oregon again soon.

"Of course, if that's not what this is about, then tell me, what is it?"
----
Lycis had been running through the route, already formulating her plan. It was a relatively simple plan, all she needed to do was wait until the opportune moment before putting it into action.

She stopped running once she reached the mountain, which towered over her like a sleeping giant. Spotting an entrance to one of the mountain's caves, she walked over to it and began to wait.

Franklin was walking along when he saw Lucille get on her Altaria and take the much more efficient route of flying toward Mt. Coronet. Seeing that, he muttered something to himself. "Screw it," he said. "Anybody here not have a Pokemon that can fly them? No? Good." Pulling out the fourth PokeBall on his belt, he said, "Go! Wonderbird!" Pointing to the mountains at the west, he said, "Fly me over there." He hopped on the Xatu and it flapped its wings toward the west. About halfway there, he heard his PokeGear ringing. "Hello?" He asked. "Who is this?" "This is Jack," responded the other end of the line. "I noticed that you weren't in your office, or at the battle between Andrew and Oregon, and I want you to realize that there will be consequences for truancy." Holy crud, there was a fight between a Tyranitar and a human? thought Franklin, but then he quickly recovered. "Sorry, sir. I decided to spend more time with the elementals I had befriended to see if I could pick anything else up." Hanging up the phone, he turned around to everyone else. "THAT WAS MY BOSS'S SECOND IN COMMAND," he yelled over the wind. "WE SHOULD BE ALMOST THERE, BUT I'M AFRAID SOMEBODY MIGHT FOLLOW US. I SUGGEST YOU MAKE A PASSCODE OR SOMETHING." After a few minutes, he dropped onto the ledge he had seen Lucille land on and departed his Xatu, recalling it and waiting for everybody else to land.

After calling Franklin, Jack developed a few suspicions. Maybe it's time to figure out just what is making Franklin spend so much time with these people. Heading back to his office, he buzzed in Hailey Matthews. She'll do a good job, he thought.

I don't have a flying Pokémon; however...> She started hovering. <...Three and a half feet. Personal best!> she said, releasing Teresa from her own lot of Pokémon and Eltanin from Andrew's. <Guys, I need you to help the rest who don't have flying Pokémon out by giving them a lift. As I can hover, I don't exactly need a ride.>


"On it!" Teresa said, doing her best to salute with her short arms, and lowering down so anyone who needed a ride could hop on. "Maximum of three, please."
 
Getting off Kenai, Lucille wobbled a bit as she stepped away as the feeling of walking was awkward. "Thank you Kenai, but you'll have to go back in the ball for a little bit more," she spoke as she withdrew him back to the orb. She knew he wouldn't be exactly happy when she let him out again. And speaking about unhappy, she remembered Illiamna wouldn't be too pleased either. She let her out, bracing herself for the Vaporeon to lash out.

"Well! You could've at least have warned me about that," Illiamna hissed playfully. She went to her trainer, nudging her hand to make sure Lucille knew she was just kidding. She did know and reciprocated by swatting Illiamna's side in a teasing manner. Looking around her and then up to the sky, Lucille searched for other people. She noticed that Franklin had followed her onto the same ledge.
---------------------------------------
Hailey frowned at Andrew's response. She had wanted to get a piece of information for him that she could take back to Goodwin, but she guessed she'd just have to ask a different question. As she went to open her mouth, her PokeGear started ringing. "I'll be back," she filled the silence.

Moving away from the cell so Andrew couldn't hear her conversation, she took the call. "Hello? What is it that you need?"
 
"Is there a problem?" Goodwin asked, "Cory, if you are worried about missing the battle, you needn't worry; you were not part of the assigned group, and I will be having the boy fight Oregon again soon.

"Of course, if that's not what this is about, then tell me, what is it?"

"Actually, sir, I had something else. About the elementals. Draco, if you would" The dragon squeezed through the door and lay the boy down on the floor, far enough from the desk that Mr. Goodwin could see him. "Draco spotted him traveling to Mount Coronet, apparently he left before everyone else to scout ahead." At that, his phone buzzed. He quickly read the text, which was from Hax. "Apparently, the others are also going."

Goodwin started forward when he saw that Cory had discovered another Elemental. "You... captured another one," he said, his voice becoming deathly calm. Arizona recognized this tone and slowly began to fly away from Goodwin.

"After I made it clear that they were not to be attacked until my say-so, so as to keep my word to that boy we captured... and you go and capture this one. What do you expect me to do about-"

He then looked up at Cory.

"Cory, I fully expect you to return the Elemental you found to where you found it. I don't care how you do it, just do it!"

Delware and Washington suddenly reached the entryway to his office. Seeing them, Goodwin's worries about the current situation vanished.

"Washington, I take it that you've... succeeded?" The Metagross nodded, "Good. I fully expect him to be ready- actually, I'll go see him myself."

With that, he walked out of his office.

Something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. It was one of the Elementals that had been in the church earlier, but Lucille couldn't recall if she knew his name. He wasn't too far away from where she was, so she jumped down and landed on her feet swiftly. Illiamna promptly followed after her, still not trusting of anyone, even though they were like her trainer. "He has a Kingler?" Lucille whispered in a joyful manner. Water types were good in her book.

She approached the Elemental. "Hello, I don't think I've introduced myself," she started with a smile. "I'm Lucille. And you are?"
 
((Hax is currently inside a phone, legitisizing his ability to know stuff. It's called a video. Hax was filming the area and spotted Franklin going towards the elementals.))

"Sorry, sir, but as you said, I was never part of the team origionally. I havn't linked my radio to the team's channel yet. I shall do as you wish. Draco, take him back were you found him. When he wakes up he'll have a headache and will think he fell from a tree. Now go!" The dragon left, Cory followed. He stepped into his room and sat down. Well that was a waste of time...

~~~

Hilao woke dizzily. He was sat on the ground, near the tree, on the ledge. His memory was pretty fuzzy, he remembered climbing the tree but he forgot what happened after that. He must have fallen and hit his head on a branch or something. Ah well, the others should get here soon, and I can go join them...
 
Wallace heard a voice call to him and he turned around. A girl was running up to him. As usual, the ladies just keep running up to me. thought Wallace. Perv. responded Shadow.
"Hello Lucille. My name... well," laughed Wallace, "My name, is Wallace." He smiled, 'But you," he pointed to Lucille,"can call me whatever you want." At that moment, Kingler started to talk to the Vaporeon, "Koh koh koh Kingler Kingler! Kokohkoh Kingler King" ((TRANSLATION: Ignore my trainer. He is an idiot.))
"Not now Kingler. Can't you notice I'm busy?" he whispered from the corner of his mouth.
 
All Lucille could do was laugh. Wait... is he trying to hit on me?

This kid was too much. "I think I'll just call you Wallace," she stated, a smile still on her face as usual. Illiamna was also smiling, but for a different reason. Rather, because of what the Kingler had said. "I agree with that," she replied, flicking her tail in amusement. She didn't feel as if this Wallace person was such a threat to her trainer. The Vaporeon looked straight at the Kingler, "Is he always like this?"

Lucille glanced down at her feet and then back up. "So what power do you have?"
 
Now alone, Andrew was deep in thought.

That one called Delaware... she mentioned a way to get my powers removed from me. A way to return me completely to humanity, as she put it. Would Goodwin agree to that?

But, more importantly, should I even consider the matter? Those Elementals were the only ones that had accepted me with these powers; not even my family did such things. Does that...

does that mean I should give up on the others? Leave them at the mercy of the Government?

Would that be a right thing to do?

His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden arrival of Goodwin. The Director entered Andrew's cell with his Metagross at his heels.

"Boy, I would like to ask you a few questions regarding that battle you had with Oregon. Namely, why was it that-"

"I want to make another deal."

Goodwin's stoic expression faltered for a fraction of a second. Recovering quickly, he said: "what sort of deal could you possibly even consider making with me?" he wondered, very calmly and quietly, "furthermore, what could you possibly have to offer?"

"I offer up my status as an Elemental. I know you have some sort of substance that can remove my powers from me. I want that done to me... after that, I don't know what you would do."

((When Draco was flying back with Hilao, Hax was in the phone still. Hax sees Franklin going towards the elementals. When Draco lands, Hax tells Cory then is returned to his Pokéball. I suppose you could call it an educated guess on Cory's behalf. And since when was the phone with Cory? He gave the phone, with Hax in it, to Rairai, so they could tell him if anything went wrong by phoning his office. Second Paragraph, last line))
 
"Kohkoh kinglerKINGLER kohkohkoh Lerking LER!" ((TRANLATED: "Yes. But only when a female human is around.")) "kiingler!"Wallace whispered, but yet trying for Lucille not to notice. 'Uh...I have the power of the Poison-type! What power do you have?" I don't know how you humans court one another but I'm pretty sure you're both doing it wrong!" Telepathed the Gengar, so buth Wallace and Lucille could hear.
