"TELL TOKA WE'RE SORRY!" Mel shouted as Torch took off. She nearly
fell off, Lucario grabbing her arm in time to keep her from
actually falling, bless his soul.
As soon as she'd righted herself, Mel turned to reach into her
backpack and secured a bracelet around her wrist, grabbing
Lucario's arm to do the same to him. "Here." She said cheerfully
before zipping her backpack again. "I probably should have done
that earlier, but whatever." She peered at the water below.
Torch had almost landed when both Mel and Lucario leapt off,
rolling and sprinting towards Aether. "HEY AETHER I'M HERE FOR A
POKEMON." She shouted, literally kicking open the door.
Tiger face palmed, and went into the room. He then stopped cold as
he saw Dusk hooked up to a machine. He was screeching in pain as
the flame on his tail changed from orange to purple, and back
again. "Hello there" Lusamine's voice was heard from the other side
of the room. "Have you come to rescue your friend? I'm sorry to
say, but he's mine now..." she growled lowly.
As awful as everything seemed, Mel's eyes seemed to sparkle at the
sight of the machine. "Okay but before you destroy us, you need to
tell me how you built that."
Lucario growled and hit the back of her head with his paw,
effectively clearing her head. "That's not what's
important." He growled.
"Right, sorry." She turned to Lusamine. "Please release him before
I punch your face off."
Tiger glanced over to Mel in slight shock as she was impressed by
the machine. He then growled as his pokemon was forcefully mega
evolved. The charizardite x was reacting to the machine instead of
the keystone. "This will brainwash, and anger your pokemon"
Lusamine said darkly, and released Dusk. The pokemon fell to the
ground, and growled. "Have fun playing with my new toy" she
laughed, and left the lab. Dusk then turned against Tiger, and Mel,
and growled. His eyes weren't betraying any emotion, and his tail
flame was a bright purple color. The pokemon then screeched, and
shot off a flamethrower, purple like his tail, and knocked Tiger
back.
Mira jumped down from the Charizard onto the boat. "Thanks!" She
called up, tossing a berry to the Charizard. He roared in delight
and flew away.
Mira saw Toka sleeping. She snickered. "Hey, feirce
guard-snake."
Toka looked up. "I'm baaaack. We're heading to Aether."
She groaned and rolled off of the seat, onto the floor of the boat.
"Hey, it's to help Tiger. Let's go," Mira shook her head and pulled
up the anchor, speeding off towards Aether. This time, she left
Salandit to guard it while she got off and looked for her comrades.
She followed the source of a loud roar.
"WHAT WAIT--" Mel screeched, but paused, not wanting to chase
Lusamine. "HOW?!" She dove to the side and hit the wall. "O-KAAY.
WE'RE GONNA NEED A MEGA TO HELP US HERE." She shouted above the
sound of flames. "DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST MEGA LUCARIOS."
"Dusk might have the type advantage!" Tiger yelled back to Mel, and
jumped back from a dragon claw. "I trained him to take out any
pokemon that he can. His moves are Brick break, Flamethrower, Fly,
and Dragon claw" he said quickly. Dusk then growled, and went to
attack Mira, but was knocked back as Cyndaquil tackled him.
[honestly my sister and I were battling in ORAS and she had a
mega lucario that she loved. I had my shiny charizard that I based
off of Tiger's and we fought. I used Dusk to use flamethrower on
mega lucario and he fainted automatically. My sister forbid me from
using flamethrower so I switched to fly and got the same result XD
poor lucario...]
(OH MY GOD THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH MY BROTHER AND I STILL
HAVENT FORGIVEN HIM)
"He might have the type advantage, but we need to do something!
Besides, I think Lucario is faster?" Mel yelled back, diving out of
the way. "We have to at least try, we have to get him to snap out
of it!" Her eyes widened. "Destroy the machine!" She shouted, and
held up her arm. "Lucario, let's at least try!"
Lucario growled and began to glow. When the light faded away, Mega
Lucario stood tall, launching forward.
Dusk growled, and threw Cyndaquil off him. He then used
flamethrower aiming around the room wildly. Tiger growled, Dusk
is more confused than anything...that machine may have forced his
evolution, but maybe I can... he trailed off and pulled the
keystone from his pocket. He then raised it up and tried to take
control back of Dusk. Dusk growled as the stone had little effect.
Mel ducked to the side, barely escaping the flamethrower. She
yelped and patted her arm with a sigh. "What even-- wHO LEAVES
NAILS LYING AROUND." She shouted, kicking it across the room. She
was going to need several bandages. Oh well.
With a small growl Lucario dodged, more focused on dodging the
attacks than actually attacking Dusk.
Tiger growled, and narrowed his eyes to the flames. He then got an
idea. "Dusk you want to fight then attack" he yelled getting Dusk's
attention from being confused. Dusk then forgot about Mel, and
Lucario and went to attack Tiger.
Mel darted towards the machine, still fascinated by it. She touched
it and watched it blink before grinning and plugging her pokegear
into it. A bit of blood dripped onto it but she brushed it off in
annoyance and tapped on it, successfully downloading a few files
from the machine.
"You ARE aware there's an insane Mega Charizard, and you're
downloading information on the crazy machine, right?" Lucario
growled, landing next to her.
Tiger growled as Mel took the opportunity to attack as an
opportunity to get information. While he was distracted, Dusk used
a brick break sending him flying, he eventually crashed into a wall
with a loud crash. Dusk then growled, and turned to Lucario and
Mel.
