Present;Goldenrod Underground Depths
The inside of the room was actually fairly bare. Or at least it had been before Diancie was captured. A small army of Nova guards. And these weren't normal Nova fodder. These were Advanced Nova guards. Several carried sub-machine guns and Austin also counted one or two Assault rifles. The majority of the guards flanked the center, where a Mecha Voltorb stood frozen. The stuff of nightmares really. It's udders were actually gun barrels, which was slightly disturbing, Austin noted.
Without warning the gunshots began flying. Austin activated his Drive, using Double Team as many times as possible without overheating the device. Jacquelyn and Austin separated into opposite directions. Austin activated Psychic to send a few thoughts towards Jacquelyn as he dodged the battle of bullets using Double team.
Austin ran towards the right sea of guards whilst Jacquelyn would handle the left side. They agreed to rendezvous in the center, to fight the Mecha together.
As he approached the guards, a fee charged, some tried Starburst, and others simply continued the rain of gunfire. Unfortunately for the guards that decided to charge, their allies weren't exactly marksmen.
Austin had to take a moment to activate razor shell, equipping the Shell sword in his left hand. With his other, he held a pistol and fired off a couple shots as he sprinted into the sea of guards, slashing and shooting.
Time skip:Day 8; Realgam
Austin awoke from a nightmare to his room in Realgam. Well, it wasn't so much his room as it was a spare room. He sat up in bed, he was sweating like a Poochyena in heat.
There was a knock at the door, followed by,"It's me, Jacque. I brought you some breakfast from the cafeteria."
Without waiting for a response, Jacquelyn entered his room. Austin studied her features abit more thoroughly than he had the day before. She was wearing a white tattoo that appeared to be made of cotton or polyester, along with some faint denim capris.
Jacquelyn set the tray down on the bedside table. On the tray was two slices of bacon and a fried egg. Austin grabbed a piece of bacon and took a bite out of it. Crunchy. The way he liked it. "Thanks", he uttered after swallowing?
Jacquelyn sat down on the side of the bed, watching him eat in and almost cold silence.
After what could've been hours, Jacquelyn spoke as Austin bit into his egg."Thank you. If so I had been freed alone, I doubt I would've made it to safety."
After swallowing his egg, Austin's face shifted to match his tone as he said,"Don't thank me. I don't deserve your thanks. Or anyone's for that matter." Austin stared at her with an intense expression." I'm but an insane kid that can't seem to get a grip or more up. So thanks for the food, but don't act like-"
Austin was cut off as Jacquelyn slapped him across the cheek. He turned to her to see a far more serious expression adorning her features. "First off, that's all a load of B*******, and frankly, I'm not going to put up with a pity party nor your ridiculous excuse for teen angst. Finally, I have no idea whether you've actually killed anyone, but even if you have, that doesn't make you a murderer. That makes you a victim of circumstance and war." At those words Jacquelyn turned her back on him and began walking out. As she exited, she commanded him," Get, get dressed, and meet me in Fennel's lab." With those parting words,Austin was left in a speechless and stunned silence.
Present;Goldenrod Underground Depths:Austin
"Uggggghhh!" Austin clutched his upper arm. A bullet grazed it. It was slightly bleeding, but he didn't have time to worry about that. He slashed through two guards on his left then turned to those behind him. He was getting tired from so much twirling. He was surrounded by bullet spray that he only barely avoided with +6 evasion.
"GAAAAAUUUUUH!" This time a bullet actually hit him in his lower abdomen. It was definitely lodged in, and would have to be removed later. However, this would definitely limit his twirling skills.
Austin slashed a wide arc around him then slammed his Shell sword into the ground. He focused, and let loose a Hydro Pump from the center of the sword. The rapid water spread, carrying several soldiers in its current. Austin held onto the Shell sword's handle with his left hand as to not be swept away as he fired off pistol shots with his right.
Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn kicked several guards off their feet as she shot some bullets sbove her.
She was beginning to get surrounded by guards. She grabbed the sole pokeball around her belt and called out her only pokemon. It was a guft from her dad. She'd named him Rico.
Jacquelyn's carbink stood close to her."Protect!" She cried and a barrier appeared between her and the guards. It would last long though.
She tried to catch her breath as she clasped at her left arm. It'd been shot in the gunfire. They'd both have been ripped to shreds full of bullet holes if it weren't for Double Team. She wasn't sure what to do. They weren't armed with much. Rico didn't know many attacks. Luckily the one attack Rico did know was...
"Earth Power!" The gorund shook as Rico unleashed his fury. Alot of the grunts began shaking and collapsing as the earth crumbled around their feet.
Austin
Austin called out Victini. He hadn't wanted to put his pokemon in danger, but he'd wiped out s sufficient amount of grunts bow. There were only 10 left. 4 had handguns, 1 had an AK and the other 5 were equiped only with Starburst and batons.
All at once they open fired at him and Victini. Austin punchee a button on his drive and released his Shell Sword. In its place he used Psychic along with Victini. They formed a Psychic wall, catching the flying bullets.
It was taxxing and hard to focus. Austin's vision began to balcken at the edges. Suddenly he saw red eyes behind the grunts. Dark red eyes that stared through him. Giratina.
He wanted to scream and hide and fight all at once. But he had to focus. If he let a bullet get through...
Suddenly, he realized, the sound of gunfire had stopped. The grunts had run out of ammo. A few of them were trying to reload, but.. .
I'm so, very sorry... Xerneas... Neal... N....
He commanded Victini, along with himself to unleash the psychically held bullets.
It was rsther gruesome as the grunts recieved several shots each. Blood sprayed everywhere.
The bodies collapsed, as Austin turned towards the center of the room. Oddly, the Mecha Voltorb hadn't moved an inch. That's when he realized it must've been a last resort so...
Austin made a mad dash towards the Giant Metal sphere.

"Well good, because it wasn't hypothetical," Riley said. He pointed his thumb backward. "Follow me."
Hopefully, she won't pry into my lovelife this time.
The door slid open once Riley knocked a few times.
"Everyone," he gestured to the young girl standing by the door as she scanned the two strangers suspiciously, "this is Marley, a good friend of mine. Marley, this is Meridia Crystiana, my commander, and the one who I told you about, Molly."
"...Hello," said Marley. "Let's get to the point." She left the door open as she walked inside.
"She's very sociable," Riley quipped to the ladies as they went inside. Riley closed the door behind them as Marley sat at the bed to the right. She showed two objects in her hands: in her left, a Pokeball. In her right, a knife. Marley raised the knife, inspecting it.
"...Don't do anything suspicious," she warned, tossing the knife up and catching it by the hilt.
Marley raised the Pokeball slightly and allowed its occupant to pop out of it. Shaymin materialized on adjacent to Marley on the bed, shaking its fur before noticing the two other strangers in the room. It shuffled back nervously. Marley set the Pokeball behind her and reached out to pet Shaymin reassuringly. "This person has a message for you," she explained, pointing a knife towards Molly. Shaymin shuffled forward a little as it quizzically tilted its head at Molly.

Pewter City, Kanto, some time priorMGSV- A Phantom PainThe boy stood at the edge of the wilderness, unmoving, concealed by the deepening shadows of the twilight. The city beyond was quiet. Most of the residents had moved away long ago, or had lost their lives when the world ended. Of those few who remained, even fewer stayed out after the sun began to set, and one of them was a young girl tending to a small lifeless garden, cheerfully humming to herself. It was a fruitless effort, the boy knew. Pointless. Devoid of meaning. No flowers would grow in this town. At best, all she would cultivate is weeds. And yet, this was a ritual she did every night and every morning without fail, regardless of the weather. All because she had hope that, one day, all her work would pay off and flowers would grow in that one splash of barren land. No matter how unlikely, no matter how impossible, she had hope and that was enough for her. Hope. It was a strange, alien word to the boy. He tried out the word aloud, his voice barely a whisper, and it sounded surreal on his lips, like someone else was speaking and he was merely listening in. The girl finished with her nightly ritual, stood back and admired her handiwork, and smiled to herself, satisfied. She started to walk away, then suddenly stopped and turned to peer out into the dim murky light, silently bidden by some impossible sixth sense to search for someone she had no way of knowing was there. All she saw was shadows. Later, Micah would wonder what would have happened if she had seen him. Would she recognize him? Would she run up to him and throw her arms around his neck? Would she dismiss him as a trick of the light? Or would she believe she had seen a ghost? "People see what they wish to see. If everyone in the world thinks you're dead, then you're already a ghost, aren't you?"But reality and possibility were very different things, and as it so happened, the girl simply shrugged to herself and walked back to her house, leaving the boy alone with the half deserted town, his nightmares, and the shadows. He stood there for quite some time longer, until darkness fully enshrouded the land. Then there was a gentle, concerned hand on his arm. "I'm fine, Scarlet. Don't worry so much. I don't have time to mope around and feel sorry for myself. We have far too much to do." He turns around and smiles. "Let's go. We have an Empire to overthrow." He walks away without another word, leaving his past behind him for one final time. The girl disappears in a brief flash of light and Latias falls in beside him. ------ Present Day, Hoenn, Route 121, a small forest glade west of LillycoveMicah leaned his back against the tree, his arms folded across his chest, as he waited for his new Commander to show up. The other six Team Galactic grunts around him had long since ceased trying to make conversation. Micah wasn't the chatty type. To the untrained eye, he appeared totally relaxed. Some might even think he was dozing. His breathing was steady and easy, his face and head obscured by a black metal helmet with a wide polished black visor that stretched horizontally across the center of the helmet. While it could be easily flipped open at a moment's notice, it didn't restrict his vision in the slightest and it was currently down. Beneath his visor, Micah was wide awake, his eyes constantly scanning the trees around him, alert for even the smallest hint of movement. His let his other senses expand as well, allowing him to hear everything, even the leaves rustling in the very light breeze high above. Latias was nearby, invisible, sending him feedback and ready to warn him of any new presences. His Rifle- currently fitted with a Keen Eye scope- stood propped up against the tree right beside him, within easy reach. The two pistols in the holsters on each hip were fully charged, and he knew he could draw, release, aim, and fire all within a split second. With just a bit of concentration, he could sense the vibrations of any living thing within ten meters. No, Micah "Ghost" Crystiana was most definitely not dozing off. So when the new presence entered his carefully prepared web, he didn't even need Latias's warning. He sensed it immediately. The Commander? Well, let's just wait and see. Scarlet, just sit tight and tell me if you sense anything else.

Corva unleashes Phantom Force. She and Shade pop out on either side of Micah simultaneously, sandwiching him in an ambush-hug. "Hi!" Corva says energetically. "You must be my new friend!" She lets him go but doesn't retreat an inch, continuing to hover at an uncomfortably close range. She examines him head-to-toe, stretching and crouching as necessary. "Hehe... 'Ghost,' right? Love it. We're gonna get along well. I hear people are really excited to have you with Yveltal. Because you really hate Nova and really love killing them? Hehehe... Yeah, we'll get along really well! Hey-hey, tell me about yourself, huh? What Pokemon do you use, hm? Hm? What... What do you hate most about Nova? What's your favorite way to kill them?" she stops flitting around him and stares straight into his visor.

"Mama everything is looking clear," Ashley told Charlene as she did a quick mental sweep of the area. "Thanks Ashley," Carleen said to her Delphox. "Where are those two at Yuzu is eager to start singing for her friends?" Carleen asked as Yuzu the Meloletta stares at Carlene. "Pika Pika," Pika sighed as they approached the clearing. "Geez I know those two worried but every single time," Carleen said as they got closer to there usual spot. Anna the Fletching just landed on Carleen shoulder and gave a quick chirp in response. A few moments later a Dragonite descended from the sky and a Greninja appeared right next to Carleen. G Ninja and Paul appeared to be talking with Ashley about something but aftrewards Ashley just sighed. "Nothing to report but you already knew that," Ashley said to Carleen while just glaring at G-Ninja and Paul. "Car car hurry, my friends wait," Yuzu told Carleen with a worried expression on her face. "We are here," Carlene announced as Yuzu made her way to the tree stump in the center. A bunch of Wynats were overly joyed to see Meloletta and some approached her only to be stopped by G-Ninja. "Really the enemy is going to send adorable little Wynats after us," Carleen said to Greninja in a scolding tone. Eventually the overprotective Greninja let the local Wynats approach Yuzu. Some of them had local berries they gathered and other had flowers. Anna flew up next to the perch and just stared there waiting for Yuzu to start singing. Before Yuzu began she ran over to Pika and dragged him to the front all the time she was blushing. Then after a couple of deep breaths she began to sing. "I will never get tired of listening to her sing," Carleen said as she laid back upon her Ivysaur Bob who was just chilling there. A Wynat sat next to Carleen as Carleen began to reminece about the events that lead to her and Yuzu to bond.
Time: A few weeks ago
So the next post isn't a page long the Backstory will be under spoilers "Ever since Vern's ship landed on this island and seeing Meloletta for the first time, I knew I would do whatever it takes to become friends with it," Carleen said. Unfortunately, her first few attempts to even listen to Meloletta from a distance caused Meloletta to disappear as soon as Carleen was spotted. Yet after a few dozen failed attempts eventually Meloletta at least let Carleen listen to her sing from a reasonable distance of course. With each passing day Carleen was able to inch closer and closer with even the wild Wynats eventually becoming comfortable enough with her presence.
Little by little it seemed like Meloletta began to trust Carleen a little more sticking around just a little more when she was done singing almost like she was watching Carleen just as much as Carleen was watching her. Over the next week Carleen would bring her Pokemon to the clearing where Meloletta would sing. Anna and Pika would dance with some of the local Wynats, G-Ninja perched himself upon the tallest tree and just scan the area, Paul would just lay against one of the trees with Bob and sleep, and Ashley would sit next to Carleen just allowing her mind to wander. After the song Meloletta would see Pika and Anna playing with the local Wynats and how they were all having a good time. She could also sense how Calm the other Pokemon Carleen had with her were calm and very at peace.
One day Carleen packed up a lunch just some berry and fruits she found and brought it too the place where Meloletta would sing. Sure enough she was right there along with those Wynats. After Meloletta was finished singing Carleen passed out some of the food she had to her Pokemon. A couple of Wynats wandered over towards her and just looked at her (imagine your bet dog begging for food it's like that) almost like they were asking her if they could have some. "What you think I would forget about you cuties here, there should be enough for your friends too," Carleen said as she gave the wild Wynats soon of her food. "I got something for you too if your hungry also," Carlene said as she had a bag of food she wrapped up and placed it as close as she could to Meloletta.
Meloletta was eyeing the bag unsure if she should take it. She wouldn't move towards or away from it but she was looking at the bag almost as if she was analyzing the contents. "It's fine if you don't want it, but it's yours when your hungry," Carleen said. Pika felt bad for Meloletta and he picked up the bag and brought it to her," Meloletta was scared off by Pika and she disappeared. "Pika PIKA," Pika called out to no avail.
"It's fine Pika let's turn in for the night and try again tomorrow," Carleen sighed. Later that evening Meloletta returned and very hestintally opened the bag and she saw a couple of berries and an apple inside. Meloletta poked it a couple of times and then took a couple of nibbles of the food. After taking a couple of test bites and seeing as she wasn't poisoned but in fact the food was delicious she took the other food and went into the forest for the evening.
The next day when Carleen didn't see Meloletta in her usual spot she and the Wild Wynats were worried. Again her Pokemon took thereally usual spots and Carleen decided she would have an early lunch if she didn't show up by then she would understand the reason. The Wynats lined up in a single file (or as close as a bunch of wild Pokemon can) line and waited with as much patience one could expect from a bunch of hungry wild Pokemon. After the last wild Wynat left another Pokemon reappeared in front of Carleen. "Oh hello there," Carleen said to Meloletta.
"Hi," Meloletta said very shyly to Carleen.
"It's fine if your not hungry," Carleen said to the shy Pokemon.
"You came even when I scared of you," Meloletta said very shyly.
"Well it's only natural to be afraid of someone you don't know," Carleen said in response.
"Your nice, gave food to my friends and me," Meloletta said. "Your pokemon nice to playing with friends and giving me food," Meloletta said. "Sorry bad experience with some humans in past," Meloletta told Carleen.
"I am sorry you had to go through that," Carleen told Meloletta.
"Not all humans mean, some were nice help me escape mean place," Meloletta said to Carleen. "Car is like nice human I methink before," Meloletta said as she got closer to Carleen. "Friends?" Meloletta asked.
"Of course," Carleen replied as a smile came across Meloletta face. Carleen's other pokemon began to introduce themselves to Meloletta. At the end when Pika went to go say hi, Meloletta gave him a little kiss on the cheek and blushed. "Pika Pika," Pika responded blushing in return.

Micah blinks, momentarily taken aback by the eccentric woman that was his new Commander. She was so.. Hyper. Almost... Giddy? And she was far too close to him for his comfort. He was too much of a professional to show his discomfort, of course, but she definitely caught him off guard. And that made her dangerous.
When he spoke, his voice was cool and level, betraying none of the discomfort he felt. "Commander Corva, I presume? I'm your new Infiltration Expert and Sniper. I'm also extensively trained in Intel, and will be serving as your new Intelligence Officer. I rarely use my Pokemon for battle- my own fighting skills are more than sufficient- but I have a Salamence, Gardevoir, and Ninetails at my disposal. I am also a Psychic, and my powers are at your disposal. I take little pleasure in killing random grunts who can't even think for themselves; I much prefer watching Nova's plans and goals burn to ash, and knowing I was the one who made it happen."
He stopped speaking almost abruptly as Commander Corva suddenly moved to take off his helmet. He stopped her immediately, placing his hand on hers. It was a very light, gentle touch, and not threatening in any way.
"... I would appreciate it if you didn't, Commander. If you order me to remove my helmet I will obey, but I would much prefer if you granted me permission to keep it on for now."
This time, his voice was quiet as he spoke.

"Eehee! Such great manners, so formal, so tiny! My new recruit is cu-u-u-ute!" Corva says happily. "Hehe. Recute. Hehehe. Lucky, lucky-lucky me. Oh, but if you're going to be all formal with the Commander stuff, it's Commander Kalyke! But you can call me whatever. Oh, hey!" her neck suddenly snaps violently to the side. "OK. Yeah, you can keep the helmet all you want! If you can pass my test."
She seizes his wrist and starts dragging him towards town. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! The Lilycove Novas are really-really mad right now. We killed a bunch of them. Even made some kill each other! Hehe. That's my favorite. But they're probably out like angry Combee right now! You're a sniper-specialist, right? An infiltrator? C'mon, c'mon, let's go kill some more! They probably have some of the above-grunts out looking for us! I want you to kill one of those and two grunts and escape back to the base without them tailing you. It's right over that way, can't miss it. Eeeeeasy-easy, right? Yeah, no trouble for any good ghost! I'll be watching from the department store. Oh, right - everyone else, go sleep!"
"Want me to scavenge some of those berries you like, Sarge?"
"Ooooh, yeah!"
"Permission to organize the perimeter patrol, Chief?"
"Yep, yep. Countin' on ya! I'll be back by dawn. Hopefully with Ghost!"
"Sledge," Vern orders.
"Sledge!" Cass echoes, handing him a giant hammer.
"Sledge!?" Jude asks with concern. "Is that really the best idea?"
The sailor pulls himself back from the engine, adjusting his cap. His muscles bulge under his sleeveless jacket as he stares at his fearless leader. "Yes, I'm sure," Vern says. "Which one of us has been sailing for... jeez, 20 years now... I'm gettin' old."
"Yep, old!" the young woman echoes again. She passes the hammer off and leans back against the wall, tossing her blonde ponytail back over her shoulder. "Isn't that right, Quills?"
"Old! Old!" the rainbow-feathered chick sitting next to her, cradled in a Slyveon's ribbons, agrees.
"Right. Well. Hey, has anyone seen Carleen?" the spikey-haired man agrees.
Clang. "Said she was going to go visit..." Clang. "her little friends again." Clang. "I'd say she's crazy, telling us she's got-" Clang. "-a friend none of us have ever seen, but-" Clang. "-there's a Ho-oh chick named 'Quills' sitting right there." Clang.
"Quills!"
"I keep telling her not to go off alone..." Jude says. "Cass, go check on her?"
Cass hops up. "Alright. C'mon Quills, Ribbons!" The baby Ho-oh struggles to flap into the air, hovering slowly along behind the lass. The slyveon stays beneath it, ribbons ready to catch it if it falls. Cass and her group make their way to the forest, quietly following the sounds of singing.

G-Ninja is again looking over the surroundings, when he notices movement coming from the main base. G-Ninja with the grace and speed of well a Ninja. G-Ninja sees Cass, Quills, and Ribbons walking in the woods. When he appears before them and basically tells them to follow him.
Meloletta finally finishes up her song as Carleen breaks out her picnic basket and begins to hand out food to the Wynats, her Pokemon and her good friend Meloletta. One person was absent from the usual get together. "Where did G-Ninja go," Carleen said rather annoyed.
"Probably saw an oh so dangerous Pidgey or even worse a caterpie or who knows," Ashley said to Carleen. "Ever the mother hen of the group," Ashley sighed as she bit into an apple.
"Cut him some slack ever since what happened to you guys back in Kalos region he's been worried about something happening to you guys again," Carleen said to Ashley who just sighed.
"Pika do you like the food?" Meloletta asked Pikachu.
"Piiikkkaaaa," Pika responded.
"So are you sure your okay about this," Carleen asked Meloletta.
"Yeah, I want to meet your friends, you said they are nice just like you right," Yuzu asked.
"Of course even though some can Umm be a little rough around the edges," Carleen said.
"You'll be there right and plus so will my Pika in shining Chu?" Yuzu said as Pika looked confused.
"Hey Yuzu if we ever left this island, I know you said you had a rough experience before, but would you travel with me," Carleen asked.
"Well at first I would say no, but seeing as there nice people out there, if it means saving them and helping you then yes," Yuzu said.
"Oh I am soooo happy to here that," Carleen said as she went to hug Yuzu.
"Hey Mama Mother hen is approachin with Cass, Quills, and Ribbons," Ashley said to Carleen.
"Well looks like you get to meet one of them right now," Carleen said. Meloletta nervously gripped Pika's Paw and hid behind Carleen

"Any chance the engine'll be fixed soon?" Jude asks.
"Not a chance in Hell," Vern answers. "At this point it's more like I'm using the scrap metal of the old engine to make a whole new one. And even if I manage to shape it right, we don't have any fuel besides wood. And the sail alone's not enough to get past these currents, not even with Sue and Bubs. Honestly, we're probably best off waiting for Quills to grow up and just carry us out of here."
"Great," Jude says. "How long do you think that'll take?"
"Well, according to the old legends... You don't want to know," Vern tells him.
"Just. Great. By the time we get back to the mainland, Nova's either going to be wiped out, or completely unassailable." Jude shakes his head. "We should be out there fighting with everyone else!"
Vern whirls about angrily. "Yeah, because that worked out so well for Riley and Raven and Elo... die..." Vern trails off. The pair stand there in an awkward silence.
"Hi, Carla!" Cassandra calls out cheerfully.
Quills stumbles in mid-air, and Ribbons bounces him back up with a cheery "Ee!"
"Whatcha hidin' behind your back?" Cassandra asks.

Time skip;Day 8, Fennel's Lab, Realgam
Austin knocked on the door. He stood outside Fennel's lab, hands in his pockets, tapping his foot.
He'd thrown on some short black shorts and a plain black worn-out shirt. It highlighted abdomen and upper chest. Although there wasn't much to highlight. He hadn't exactly reached the full extents of manhood yet, but he wasn't quite chubby. A better term might be flat-chested or sphelt.
The door opened."Oh, it's you." Lacey was standing in the doorway. She opened the door to its full extent and walked over to a table without saying anything to Austin.
Austin stepped inside and walked over to the window, where Fennel was siting in a rolling chair at a desk and Jacquelyn stood across from her. Fennel was shuffling through papers and pulled out one, handing it to Austin. "Jacquelyn is going to monitor your mental state while you do this errand for me, okay?" Austin looked down at the paper. It was a menu for a diner in Orre. Fennel had circled what she wanted Austin to acquire.
He sank, crestfallen. Of course all he was good for was delivering food. He turned headed to the teleporters, Jacquelyn in tow.
Present;Goldenrod Underground Depths:Austin
Austin clutched his abdomen, where he'd been shot as he ran.
As soon as he was at the base of the Machine, he shouted for Victini."FLY ME UP THERE!"
Victini did so, giving a peace sign as it pertains picked up Austin with Psychic and dropped him on top of the Mecha Voltob. As soon as he landed He pressed a button on his Drive and activated the Galaxy blade. He stabbed it into the top of the machine and began cutting and entrance.
Jacquelyn
As the protect wore off, Jacquelyn told Rico to set up a Lightscreen and Reflect. She grabbed her Pistol. Only a few guards remained. Unfortunately, two of them had sub-machine guns and the other all had handguns.
Jacquelyn ducked behind the barriers and blasted out a few shots. She hit two of the guards, knocking them down, but one got right back up, most unfazed.
Another dilemma she realized, was that they were approaching her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" She cried holding her cheek. A bullet had grazed it pretty bad and it was bleeding.
She hadn't wanted to do it, but...
She dug in her pocket and fished out her Proto-Drive. She punched a button or two and tossed it at one of the guards, then ducked under the barriers.
The Proto-Drive had many flaws compared to the final Cosmic Drive. One of the main ones being that it could only connect to one Pokemon, period. Jacquelyn had already used it with Diancie, so of course she couldn't connect with Rico. That's why she used its other design flaw, the self-destruct sequence.
The Proto-Drive exploded in a small contained circle, killing at least three guards who were close to it.
Rico was getting tired, and the barriers began to fade in and out of existence, but there was still a guard with a sub and 3 with handguns. After the initial shock of the small scale explosion, the guards had resumed firing.
"Rico, return." Jacquelyn loaded one last magazine, then went for it.
They sat across from each other in the diner, waiting for Fennel's food. Jacquelyn broke the tension once again.
"What's your deal anyway? Why won't you leave me alone? Why are you interested in me?"
Jacquelyn looked at him a moment before turning her head away," You weild a Cosmic Drive. "
"So you're interested in my Drive, then. I should've known there's no way you'd care about me."
"My father worked on its development. I never told you what happened, right?"
Austin was looking out the window, his head resting on his own crossed arms st the table. He was pouting, but he gave her a side glance.."I don't think you did."
She sighed, looking out the window."Well, my name is Jacquelyn. My father was one of the original workers trying to create the Cosmic Drive. Originally, the Drive was meant to work as an enhanced Styler, but then the war happened. Still, the Drive was seen as a solution to Starburst by the scientists deveolping it. "
She blinked, getting slightly teary-eyed.
"Before the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs were obtained and thought of as a potential power source, there was Diancie."
At that, Austin looked up at her, curious." "The legendary Pokemon, Diancie?"
"Yes", she swallowed." Diancie has the power to create diamonds. That why they thought it could be used to perfect the Drive. Unfortunately, Nova got wind that Diancie was among us. We were at the research lab you found me in when they came. We'd managed to create a prototype, but it was far from perfect. My father was held at gun point, along with his co-workers and myself. In the end I used the Proto-Drive and connected to Diancie. I unknowingly trapped us both in suspended animation. Diancie was still taken, I presume, whilst I was left there. "
Tears were streaming down Jacquelyn's cheeks at this point. She shook her head and wiped them away.
The waitress had come with Fennel's food."Will there by anything else?"
"That's all.", Jacquelyn said, leaving the money on the table and walking out.

"Hey Cass I take it Vern was starting to worry about me," Carleen said.
Yuzu poked her head out nervously to see the young lady but she perks up when she sees the baby Ho Oh. "Wow it hatched," Yuzu said as she floated towards the baby Ho Oh.
"Well looks like she likes you I never seen her warm up so quickly," Carleen told Cass. "Actually, kinda of jealous it took me many days to get her to trust me," Carleen said kinda of jealous.
"This Ho Oh I saved when I was under control of those bad men," Yuzu said as she gently pet the new born Ho Oh.
"Well then looks like she is ready to meet the rest of our crew," Carleen said as she began to make her way back to the base.

"Syl!" Ribbons barks cheerfully. He hugs both Quills and Yuzu in his ribbons and nuzzles them in turn.
"Aw, look. They're friends already!" Cassandra laughs.
Jude stands on the bow of the beached ship. He needed some air after that exchange. He sees the two women approaching and starts to wave before noticing a new Pokemon among them. It sticks close to Quills, and hides when it notices Jude watching. "Vern, get up here," he calls down belowdecks.
"What's- oh. Huh. I guess her little friend was real after all. Looks like you owe me 5 Pokedollars," Vern says. "But just because she was right doesn't mean she's not crazy," he adds.
"I guess we should go say hi...?" Jude suggests. Vern shrugs and hops down to the beach.

Pika went to comfort the shy Meloletta and reassure her that its fine.
"O okay," Yuzu said as she poked her head out to look at both Jude and Vern. "They look scary," Yuzu said ducking behind Carleen.
"Yuzu can you hear me this is Ashley," Ashley asked Yuzu through telepathy.
"I think so," Yuzu responded nervously.
"Don't worry I known these two Vern and Jude for a long time now, they are very friendly despite there rough appearance," Ashley told Yuzu. "Besides they are the one to look after Quills from the moment it hatched," Ashley told Yuzu.
"Okay I can try," Yuzu said.
"Pika can you umm come with me?" Yuzu asked Pika.
"Pikachu," Pika replied
Yuzu grabbed Pika's paw and made her way to the front of Carleen. "Umm hi Vern and umm Jude," Yuzu said very nervously

"Eeep," Yuzu let out as she jumped behind Pika.
"Pika Piiikkaaa, Pi Pika Pikachu," Pika told Yuzu.
"Hey ummm guys she still a bit shy," Carleen said. "Umm Yuzu its fine they just haven't ran into Pokémon who can talk before," Carleen said to Yuzu
"Ummm yes I can talk," Yuzu responded.

Timeskip: Day 8; Outside A diner in Orre
Austin rushed out of the diner after Jacquelyn, carrying a bag with Fennel's food in it in his left hand.
"Jacquelyn! Wait!"
She slowed down and came to a stop. She turned towards him. "I'm sorry. I'm normally very calm and conducted, but... The full force of a situation hitting you can be a very... intense experience can't it?"
" No, you have nothing to apologize for. I.. should've realized that you're going through alot more than I am. Just because I'm a miserable excuse for a human being doesn't mean I can just act as if your problems aren't important." Austin felt guilty. He wasn't sureexactly why, but... maybe it had something to do with his indifference to her story.
"Why?"
"Huh?" Austin questioned with a confused look on his face.
"Why do you insult yourself? Why do you act as if you're the worst person alive? I want to help you, but that REALLY pisses me off."
Austin gave a weak smile. "Maybe that's all I'm good for the-" This time he half expected the slap, but didn't expect the force behind it. He feel to the ground in an "oompf!"
"Stop. You don't just think that of yourself, do you? You're trying to push me away. You're trying to keep distance between yourself and others. And you have no idea how infuriating it is for you to continually act like that when I want to help you."
Austin, confused and angered, stood up."WHY!? WHY,HUH!? Why do you want to help me, huh, Jacquelyn!? You don't even know me!? Because you owe me some debt!? Because of my Cosmic Drive!? Why!?"
Jacquelyn clenched her fist and this time he expected a slap, and got a punch. He gripped his stomach.
"You want to know, why!? Because I don't see you as a monster, or a child, or a traitor, or what else you or anyone else wants to call yourself. I see you as a person, whose been hurt and battered and is caught up in a terrible war. I see a victim of bad circumstances. I see the person who found me, not by coincidence, but by destiny. I see someone with the potential to make an impact, and I see a victim that can easily be a great soldier or trainer or whatever you want to be. I don't want to give up on people, because if I do it means I must give up hope. Giving up hope means giving up the hope to ever see my dad again and to ever see the end of this Arceus-forsaken war!"
Jacquelyn brought her hand to her cheek. She'd started crying without realizing and her face was red from anger and tears. "I.. don't even know what's going on... I've only been awake a few days at most after being frozen for years..."
Austin dropped the plastic bag. He grabbed her hand softlyand brought it up to cup his. "O....okay..." He gulped. He wanted to run away. He wanted to run so very far away,but...
If this is how I feel... then how hard must i be for her.. to get over all of this... And yet she's been acting so refined and reserved... And all I thought of was myself and how to push others away... I'll try it... I'll try to get close to her.
"Jacquelyn." She looked up at him, curious. " I can't make any promises, but... Thank you."
Present;Goldenrod Underground Depths:Austin
"Ace! Victini! Go help Jacquelyn!!!!" He cried as he three Ace out. The two flew off towards Jacquelyn. Austin had managed to cut a hole in the Mecha Voltorb.
There'd be no way for him to lift the metal sheet out on his own. But he was never alone. He used Psychic on the circular metal sheet and pulled. It was really heavy and hard to pull out. But he pulled with all his might, straining with his eyes closed trying to focus.
Behind closed eyelids, visions of horror flashed and he heard piercing screams of Pokemon and people, the silence of the Distortion World, and Giratina's sinister cry. He tried to ignore it. The faces of Maurice, Barry, and Giratina's haunting him. Barry an empty shell with no eyes or mouth, just sickly colored skin and undead moans straight out of a horror movie.
Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn was circled by the remaining grunts. She'd managed to shoot 2 more, but 2 still remained.
"Maybe we should have a little 'fun' with her, ya know? I'm sure the higher-up wouldn't care."
The other soldier shook his head."No. Our orders are simply to eliminate anyone who came here. Besides, she killed all of our comrades and you want to use her for pleasure instead of outright killing the ****** little *****."
The other grunt laughed heartily. "You're always such a moral compass. First time I hear you curse and you're advocating we don't take our revenge. Whateber. Leave her to me. You go get the other brat."
Jacquelyn cursed under her breath. She was out of shots and out of ideas. But then something flashed in her eye. Austin's Staraptor and Victini were headed towards them. They'd be there in no time.
"Ugh!" Jacquelyn cried as the grunt grabbed her by the wrist. "Come here girly!" Jacquelyn struggled against the man's grip, which was hard since one of her shoulders still hurt like the Distortion World. The grunt held his sub up to her hip. "Stop, struglling You'll ruin my mood and then we'll just play a game where we see how many bullet holes you can take."
Jacquelyn complied. "Great, now just walk a fee feet over there and-" He was cut off when Ace slammed into his back with and Aerial Ace.
He fell facedown on the floor and there was a distinct crunch of a nose breaking. He tried to get up, but Jacquelyn had grabbed his sub and pressed her foot on his head, aiming the gun barrel at his neck. "One reason."
The grunt began to say,"B*-", but Jacquelyn already pulled the trigger.
Austin
Austin opened his eyes. He was sweating and sitting on the Voltorb. He looked and noticed that he'd managed to move the metal out. His sense of alarm returned as he peered into the Voltorb.
Just as he'd suspected, a timer was at the center of many wires inside the Voltorb. It was a giant Voltorb-shaoed Bomb.
He ducked into it, feeling rather squished, and began messing with the wires.
Which wire do I cut!? Which wire do I ******* cut!!!???
Austin could barely think as he shuffled around in the ocean of wires. The timer didn't have much time left, only 5 minutes.
Suddenly, Austin heard a clang as someone climbed ontop of the Voltorb. He then saw a silhouette above him with a gun barrel looking through. "Come out of there you insult little ****!"
Then he grabbed Austin, and pulled him up out of the bomb. He gripped him by the throat and pointed the barrel into his mouth. Austin struggled, but he was still exhausted from using Psychic so much.
"DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU DID!? YOU LITTLE ******! YOU SLAUGHTERED MY LITTLE SISTER!! YOU MURDERED MY BOYFRIEND! YOU LITTLE ****!"He dug the barrel into Austin's mouth, but he wouldn't open it. He wouldn't surrender here. He wouldn't die yet.
Austin kicked out into the man's stomach, causing him to bend over. In pain. Austin dropped to the ground and activated his Drive again. This time he used Aerial Ace and tackled the soldier, throwing them both off the Voltorb.
They hit the ground below with a thud, Austin throwing wild Aerial Ace punches into the man's face and chest.
Austin may have had his power-uo, but the man was much bigger than him, so he easily knocked Austin off and the fight persisted.
The man had him pinned and was started punching Austin's face. Austin tried blocking it with his fists with little success. His hands started to go numb and his knuckles were definitely bloody. He kicked and struggled, thrusting upwards and trying to get out. He just... needed... to use....
"Pyschiv!" Austin screamed, activating Voice Control and focusing on stopping the man's punches.
As the man pulled back to throw another punch, is arm wouldn't go forward. His whole body was taut and stiff.
Austin was on the verge of fainting between his abdomen and his migraine. The visions began to flash and the world was distorting and turning dark once more...
As the man began gaining traction towards his punch, the psychic being broken by Austin's nightmares...
Jacquelyn locked the man off of Austin, knocking him over. Once he was off of him, Jacquelyn decisively shot him.
Quickly, she bent down and shook Austin out of his daze.
"Uh?Jacque?"
Groggy and acing, but awake Austin shouted one word on full alarm mode. "BOMB!"
Both of them sprang up and Jacquelyn released Rico, her Carbink. She commanded him to set up Protect, Light Screen, and Reflect around the Bomb. Rico did so and Austin told Victini to give Rico a boost. Victini placed it's hand on Rico's back and pumped energy into the Carbink.
Then the bomb went off. The Voltorb swelled up and the metal came apart as the explosion was let loose.
Even inside the Boosted Protect, the explosion shook the ground and shattered their eardrums. But after a fee seconds, it was over.
The two recalled their Pokemon after thanking them, then leaning on each other, they marched towards the door before them.
Goldenrod Underground Depths: Computer Room
Inside the door was simply a computer room. A dark room of computer and code. Nothing more.
They both breathed a sigh of relief as Jacquelyn strides up to a computer and began hacking in.
Austin stood behind her, standing guard. "You're hurt."
Jacquelyn didn't look over at him, "Just a bullet to the shoulder. Makes it difficult to type, but I can manage with one hand. You?"
Austin continued facing the door when he replied,"Lower left abdomen. Didn't hit anything of significance, thank Arceus."
After a moment of silence, a *booboobeep* sounded. Jacquelyn was in.

"Huh," Vern says. He bends down to Yuzu's level. "You're a cute little Pokemon... Meleotta, right? What're you doing all the way out here?"
"And do you know where 'here' is?" Jude adds. "We're pretty lost."

"This is a sanctuary," Yuzu said nervously. "Anyone wishing to avoid fighting hides here, protected from Bad men," Yuzu said. "As far as name you have to ask the Guardian, he brought us here," Yuzu said.

Sue sniffs at Yuzu. She cocks her head. "Pore?"
"Sanctuary, eh?" Vern grunts. "Pretty lucky, eh, Jude?"
Jude snorts. "Yeah, how great for us. But while we're sitting here living it up, there's people suffering under Nova's-"
"Yeah, yeah, honor, duty, we've heard it," Vern mutters. "I'm just saying we're lucky we crashed here instead of the middle of a 'Bad Men' base or something."
"Hey, Yuzu?" Cassandra asks. "Who's this guardian?"
"Oh, yeah. Any chance he could help us get out of here?" Vern asks.

"I think Mr. Guardian said this place was called Mirage Island," Yuzu said to Jude. "Bad men they were part of something called Nova," Yuzu said. "They were trying to use my voice to control Pokemon," Yuzu said. "Yet I was saved by someone who also managed to saved Pokémon eggs too," Yuzu said to them.
"Not sure how we meet the guardian of Mirage Island but it allowed to stay here," Yuzu said. "Oh yeah the guardians name is Celebi," Yuzu said with a bit more perk in her voice. "Marage Island is a Pokémon sanctuary and since you seem like nice people let me tell you a secret about this item," Yuzu said. "Me and Quills aren't the only legendaries here, this island is a safe haven for legendary Pokemon set up by Celebi," Yuzu told them. "You have to promise not to tell anyone else about this place," Yuzu pleaded with them
