Guardian and Deep

Drake was surprised that he got ahead of Gary, he wasn't actively trying to yet he did. Drake was about to say something to Professor Oak when he heard something he never did before.

His Pokémon surrender, they were basically unharmed yet they looked like they were physically in pain. Drake always knew his Pokémon hated loosing but not this much.

Drake just shook his head as they landed before him with their heads down. He didn't say anything, whereas Professor Oak walked up to them.

But unlike his other Pokémon Prometheus (Charizard) and Zeus (Dragonite) recognized Professor Oak. After a brief moment of showing off ( Mostly from Prometheus. ) they greeted Professor Oak before coming to Drake.

" Don't give me those looks, I could've told you it was pointless but you two charged in before I could say anything. Don't look at like that it's disturbing. "

Professor Oak stood at the side and looked at the trainer and his Pokémon bantering. It warmed his heart to know that there were trainers still cared for Pokémon.

After some back and forth and an conversation ( Basically Drake speaking to his Pokémon and they nodded or shook their heads in response. ) he found out that they wanted to become stronger.

Drake looked at his Pokémon and saw that there were indeed unharmed so he decided to go collect the treasure chest nearby.

He told Professor Oak he had some business to attend to nearby and passed the Eevee to him. He flew off on Prometheus to the location of the treasure in a mountain range nearby.

Drake flew for 15 minutes before he saw the treasure chest as well as the guardian. It was a Mega Tyranitar, while still in the air Drake scanned it and found out she was at level 69.

She was behaving oddly though, she was pacing up and down the platform she stood on and she looked angry.

Drake saw no environmental factors he could take advantage of so a head on attack was the only way to proceed.

Drake landed on the platform on the mountainside 150 feet away from the Tyranitar. He then released all of his Pokémon except Andromeda and Sleipnir.

They were currently too weak to participate in this battle. Drake then took out the left bracer with the Charizardite Y embedded in it and his gauntlet from his Inventory.

He placed the bracer on Prometheus' left arm and took out the Key Stone from his inventory and place it at the back of his left hand inside the gauntlets socket.

Immediately he could feel a connection between himself and Prometheus. He could trigger a Mega evolution but it wouldn't last too long.

He was distracted by the news for a bit but then he felt a tremor. He looked ahead and saw Terry ( Tauros )before the Tyranitar looking dead tired.

He used Giga Impact in an attempt to push the Tyranitar off the edge of the platform. A smart move but unfortunately he was too optimistic.

She managed to bring herself to a halt 30 feet before the edge. Before she could make a move Wrath (Scizor) used Fury Cutter on her, it did a respectable amount of damage but still not enough.

Wrath quickly evaded the tail that swept at him and while Tyranitar was charging a Hyper Beam to fire at the still exhausted Terry Horus burst out from below her using Dig that connected successfully.

Due to Tyranitar's weight she was just knocked off balance but it created an opening for Wrath to land his second Fury Cutter. This time it did a lot of damage.

Suddenly the sunlight grew incredibly stronger. Tyranitar stumbled before catching her balance when she was hit by a jet of water.

This attack did a fair amount of damage but it still disrupted Tyranitar granting Wrath the opportunity to land his third Fury Cutter.

The impact this time sent Tyranitar tumbling but she still stood up albeit shakily. Then she fired a Hyper Beam at Terry who had almost finished resting.

The beam hit successfully and sent him flying into the mountain surface. When Drake checked on him, Terry was already unconscious.

She then used Thrash and tail slapped Wrath into a mountain right next to Terry. He was also rendered, Zeus used Ice Beam to freeze Tyranitar's left arm and shoulder.

Tyranitar countered by stomping the ground and using Stone Edge that hit Zeus head on. He dropped from the sky but he didn't faint.

Tyranitar was about to fire a Hyper Beam at him when she was hit by another Dig from Horus. She was once again knocked off balance.

Drake found this entire chain of events odd, the amount of damage this Tyranitar took should have put her down by now. Yet she still stood tall.

Tyranitar regained her balance and just as she was about to fire a hyper beam at the platform floor she was hit by a beam of energy.

Prometheus had been charging a Solar Beam since the moment he used Sunny Day. This fully charged Solar Beam should have knocked her out.

Drake heaved a sigh of relieve and just as he was about to congratulate his remaining Pokémon her saw a familiar flash of light.

Tyranitar was on her last legs but she still had enough energy to charge this last Hyper Beam. Unfortunately for Drake since he dropped his guard he couldn't dodge this attack.

Just as he was about to resign himself to his fate he felt something from his left gauntlet. Warm energy and a connection to Prometheus.

Prometheus triggered his first Mega Evolution, his dark grey scales turned purple, his body became more streamlined, he grew a third horn between his existing two and his tail grew longer.

He looked a lot stronger than before. Before Tyranitar could fire her Hyper Beam Prometheus used Fire Blast. The ball of fire transformed and collided with the Hyper Beam right before Tyranitar's face.

The explosion sent Tyranitar flying off the platform edge and Drake, Zeus and Horus back towards the Mountain wall.

Drake wasn't a bit worried that Tyranitar died because if a strong Rock type Pokémon like Tyranitar couldn't survive a table down the mountainside like this Rock type Pokémon would be useless.

Drake made his way to the Treasure chest and opened it. Inside there was a Scizorite and two Key Stones.

Drake was very much pleased with the rewards. The second Key Stone was most likely for the Tyranitarite somewhere on the defeated Tyranitar's body.

Drake then looked at Prometheus, his height didn't change but his strength surely did. Prometheus was also observing his body, he could feel the power coursing through him but he also knew this was temporary.

True enough he reverted back to his true form right then. Drake then mounted him after recalling all of his fainted or hurt Pokémon. Leaving just Prometheus and Horus out.

Drake flew along the trail of destruction left behind after Tyranitar rolled past there. At the end of the trail Drake finally saw Tyranitar but he was once again shocked.

Even after that tumble she was still conscious but unfortunately she couldn't move a muscle. Drake thought about it for a bit and he remembered that female Tyranitars are known for fiercely protecting their young.

Drake then looked her in the eye and said " Egg " which got him no reaction so he said " Larvitar ". This time her eyes opened wide and she tried to get up again.

Drake then figured out why she wouldn't stay down, she had a young Larvitar waiting for her back at home.

Drake just circled her body looking for the Tyranitarite, she was laying faces so he looked at her back but he didn't find it.

So he had Prometheus and Horus flip her and he saw it under her breastplate. It took a lot of effort but he finally pulled it out.

Drake then took out a Hyper Potion and sprayed it on her body and said " You'll be sent back soon." He then mounted Prometheus and they flew back to Professor Oak's lab.

When he returned he submitted his all of his Pokémon to Professor Oak and collected the Eevee and made his way to his house.

Eevee hadn't seen human constructions up close so she looked at everything. After a 15 minute walk he arrived at his front door.

He didn't bother knocking and just walked in, when he did he saw his mother's new pet project. On what was once their living room wall was several pictures of Drake and Nina neatly lined up covering the entire wall.

He even saw the picture he had the photographer mail home and the two medals he mailed back. He also saw his mother standing before looking at the pictures.

She sighed and said " My sweet children, my love for you is as deep as the ocean. " Adelle then heard a voice say " No, it's as creepy as a Gengar. " She was about to turn around and rip that insolent bastard apart when she recognized the voice.

She spun around and saw her son, tears immediately started falling and she dove on him. Drake caught her with one hand and managed to keep Eevee safe in the other.

Nina heard the commotion and came downstairs and saw her mother crying in her brother's arms. She would usually say something sparky but her attention was on the little ball of fur in her brother's hand.

She dashed downstairs and looked at it with sparkling eyes and reached for it. She didn't even greet her brother.

Drake saw this and was displeased he then looked at her and said " What're you reaching for, my Pokémon don't like to be touched by ungrateful runts. "

Nina just looked at Drake with her puppy dog eyes, a skill she had already mastered. Drake just sighed and said " Take care of her or I'll take her back. " He handed Eevee to her and took out a page from his jacket pocket and gave it to her as well.

She looked at it and asked " What is this?" " This is the recipes for her food, Pokéblocks and Poffins

You'll make them yourself, if you get lazy and buy food I'll know. " Drake answered and threatened.

Nina just took it and walked off with Eevee who didn't seem bothered by Nina in the slightest. Meanwhile Adelle was still clinging onto Drake crying her eyes out.
