Chapter 38: Team Rescue & A Better Explanation

With Nate and Geo:

Pancham (Roman): "Who are they?!"

Greninja (Geo): "That's none of your fucking business."

Sylveon (Cherry): "Tell us right now or else."

Noivern (Nate): "Or else what? You ain't gotta do shit."

Delphox (Ruby): "Blue, please you gotta be honest with us. Who are those people you're talking with?"

Greninja (Geo): "Not gonna tell ya."

Delphox (Ruby): *Groans* "He's telling us anything."

Serena: *Sighs* "It's no use. I guess I'll let them make you boys talk in a hard way."

Noivern (Nate): "Wait...What."

Pancham (Roman): "Oh...yeah. I've been wanting to do this." *Summons one of his moves."

Greninja (Geo): *Gulp* "This is bad..."

Noivern (Nate): "Real bad..."

Delphox (Brittany) POV:

The trainers, Clement, and his sister got a plan sorted out, which led Adam to charge of getting them back from the nightmare they are facing right now. I can see Adam, trembling like he's scared. Uh, dude. You're shaking." I say, letting him know. That got his attention. "Sorry, I shake when I'm scared," he says as he stays led low to hide his cover. "If you know them so much, why not visit them?" I say, convinced him. "You don't get it. It's been years since we lost track of each other. And, get this, they didn't see me as...this. They didn't see me how I've grown." Hearing from him is making me feel bad for him. "I think there is a chance for you to reconnect with them, but you didn't know if there is time." Adam feels better after my statement and looks at Haru, who still has his friend inside his Pokeball. He throws the ball in the air and a Heilolisk appears. Haru rolls the ball as it passes to Adam. Haru looks at Adam, giving him a nod. Haru turns to face the front of the door and Asahi knocks on the door.

Heliolisk (Asahi): "So...what are we doing here?"

Luxray (Haru): "You know...Just meeting with an old friend."

*Serena opens the door.*

Serena: "Hello?"

Heliolisk (Asahi): "Serena, it's us."

Luxray (Haru): "Do you remember us?"

Serena: "Remember?"

Luxray (Haru): "We are two of Clement's Pokemon. We used to travel together."

Serena: *Gasps* "Haru? Asahi?"

Heliolisk & Luxray (Asahi & Haru): "Surprise!"

Serena: "Oh my god, I haven't seen you guys since..."

Heliolisk (Asahi): "Since we go through our separate ways..."

Serena: "Yeah. Come on in. Help yourself at home. Girls, you would believe who come by to visit.

     The teen closed the door which worked to distract them. "Yes! I knew it work!" Adam says. "Now, we can go to the balcony." We sneak through the bushes to try to get close to the balcony. "Sis, I'll help you get a boost. Finn says, having his hands down to his knees. I go towards him, put my feet flat on his hands as he raises me to reach the handrail. As I did that, I saw Geo and Nate, still tied together but they were hurt and had bruises. I stepped foot which got Nate's attention. "Brittany, you came back," he whispered. It is weird hearing Nate whisper. "Why are you whispering?" I say confused. He is moving his head toward something. "It's a Pancham. He's sleeping on the bed." I went to check and noticed a Pancham was seriously napping. I knew it was not a good idea to start.

Delphox (Brittany): "Adam."

Chesnaught (Adam): "What?"

Delphox (Brittany): "You better come up here. I need your help."

*Adam hops and grabs a handrail. He successfully reaches the second floor.*

Chesnaught (Adam): "What's happening?"

Delphox (Brittany): "Your old buddy is here."

*Adam saw Roman napping on the bed.*

Chesnaught (Finn): "Roman...I thought he was downstairs with the others."

Noivern (Nate): "Actually, he was asked to watch us."

*Darwin and Bonnie were held up with vines by Finn to get to the second floor.*

Bonnie: "Poor thing."

Darwin: "They might have beaten."

Chesnaught (Adam): "Let's take them to the Pokemon Center until he-"

*As unexpectedly, Adam gets hit with Dark Pulse. That dark power isn't effective to him. He turns around to look at Adam who aims for an attack. It seems like Roman is pretending to be asleep. Bonnie hides at the curtains from this ruckus.*

Pancham (Roman): "Who are you and why are you here?!"

Noivern (Nate): "We're screwed."

Chesnaught (Adam): "Hey, we'll just here to get-"

*Roman interprets and uses another Dark Pulse.*

Chesnaught (Adam): "OH! You wanna go?! Bring it on!"

*Adam is chasing after Roman to shut him up. He tried to grab him using his growing vines but Roman dodged it.*

From downstairs:

*They chatted and laughed but heard a noise above them.*

Heliolisk (Asahi): "What the hell?"

Luxray (Haru): "What was that sound?"

Delphox (Ruby): "Oh...that! From above us. Uhm..."

Serena: "That was nothing."

*Serena pretends to drop her spoon.*

Serena: "Oops. I'll get that.*

*She led under the table where Serena was lying down on the floor, comfortably.*

Serena: *Whispers* "Go check upstairs to see what's up."

Sylveon (Cherry): "Whispers* "On it."

*Cherry gets up, stretch, and head upstairs.*

Back to Delphox (Brittany) POV:

Both Adam and Roman started torturing each other. Adam held him but got kicked in the face, literally. "Dude, you have to tell him," I say, not wanting them to fight like dogs. "But he won't understand," he says while holding Roman on the ground. "You have to, this is the right time to tell him." Roman raged, "I don't know who the fuck are you. You all have the guts to break into this property for the second damn time." I was mad, "Listen, we only came here to recuse the two Pokemon you are holding hostage. I don't know why you and your pal, Sylveon, were outside in the wild in the first place."

Pancham (Roman): "I only go outside to find a group of lost friends from before and those two match their description."

Noivern (Nate): "Are you kidding with me?!"

Darwin: "Well, you're wrong because they are very different from the ones you remember from the past.

Pancham (Roman): "Oh really, from what I remember is that Greninja had a battle bond. That can only mean that Pokemon is Blue!"

Chesnaught (Adam): "ARE YOU SERIOUSLY? Is that the only thing you can remember from the year 2013?! Do you not fucking realize who I am to you?"

Pancham (Roman): "...What are you saying?"

Chesnaught (Adam): "You don't get it, do you? Tsk, I thought you had some common sense."

Pancham (Roman): "Who are you?"

Chesnaught (Adam): "Let me give you a few damn hints. You were a Pokemon from the wild when you threw a stick at one Pokemon named, Chespin, who got mad and had to go chase a troublesome one from the likes of you. Those two become rivals and never get along, arguing, and even fighting each other for small things in who is the best. Does that ring a be-"

*Adam gets hit by Moonblast by a Sylveon who brags the door so loud that a teen, another Delphox, Haru, and Asahi come along.*

Sylveon (Cherry): "Step away from Roman, you hideous beast."

Chesnaught (Adam): "Ack! It hurts...God it hurts..."

Sylveon (Cherry): "You are reckless."

Pancham (Roman): "Tell me about it."

*A Sludge Bomb shot zooms toward Cherry which leads to deathly poisoning.*

Sylveon (Cherry): "Ack! The poison...It hurts when I move."

Delphox (Brittany): "Amy!"

Roserade (Amy): "I can't just stand outside and not help you."

Delphox (Ruby): "You bitch!" *Withdraws her wand from her sleeve* "I'll burn you!*

Serena: "Ruby, use Mystical Fire on them."

*Ruby was about to use Mystical Fire until Bonnie had enough of hiding and decided to show off to defend us."

Serena: "What the?!"

Bonnie: "Please stop! Don't hurt them. I beg of you."

In Laverre Gym:

Gym Trainer #2: "I can't believe those sloppy kids came to the Gym we're trying to hurt you, Valerie."

*Valerie was sitting on a zabuton, taking a sip of tea that was set up on a bench table.*

Valerie: "Are you sure those are the true troublemakers?"

Gym Trainer #1: "Uh...not exactly..."

Gym Trainer #2: "But I know it's them."

Gym Trainer #3: "I don't know. Those kids don't seem to fit their description from the news."

Gym Trainer #2: "I just know it, sweetie!"

Valerie: "Alright, that's enough!"

*A few gym trainers be quiet.*

Valerie: "I know this is hard for me to face such a hard incident from the Grand Party. But look at me, I'm okay."

Gym Trainers #4: "Yeah. I mean, she has her Pokemon all the time."

Valerie: "See? She gets it. Besides, no one could hurt me with no doubt."

*The door was open with full force. Nashly and her gang walk into the gym. The two female trainers grabbed their Pokeballs and were stopped when Destiny and Esias took out an Arbok and Nidoqueen. The other two trainers quickly hide. Nashly walks towards Valerie.*

Valerie: "Who are you?! And why did you come to my gym?!"

Nashly: "Who am I?" *Laughs* "I'm the teen who caused the incident at the Grand Party, and I'm holding you as my hostage. If you want to live, tell me where my cousins' whereabouts."

*The two trainers who are hiding saw the commotion from the teens.*

Gym Trainer #1: "We need to get help."

Gym Trainer #2: "From who? We don't know where to get one."

Gym Trainer #1: "Wait, I got one! The three teens who came to us to the gym earlier."

Gym Trainer #2: "Are you sure we can trust them?"

Gym Trainer #1: "Yeah, they are trying to say something. We got find them."

Gym Trainer #2: "Ugh, fine. But we need to get out of here quietly."

Back to Delphox (Brittany) POV:

     We were about to get killed until Bonnie came out from hiding, and couldn't look at who she witnessed. Serena is shocked by a dear friend she knows, "Bonnie, is that you? Oh god, look how much you changed." She says while she looks like she sounds sad. "I made have changed, but I'm still the same person, Serena." She says, still defending us. Ruby then drew her stick and put it back on her sleeve. Roman gets up, very concerned about how she's here. "If you're here, where's-," Clement rose to the second floor as Finn helped him to the baloney, literally interpreting Roman. "I'm also here trying to get this trainer's Pokemon back because you guys hold these poor two Pokemon hostage," he said angrily. He comes to Adam's aid.

Clement: "Adam? Are you okay?"

Serena's Pokemon: "Adam?!"

Chesnaught (Adam): "Argh! It hurt like shit! Clement, I don't think I can move. Cherry's Moonblast hit a big number out of me."

Svlyeon (Cherry): "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I just hurt Adam." *Slaps Roman* "How come didn't you know that's Adam?"

Pancham (Roman): "Me?! I thought he was another Pokemon. Besides, he looked completely different."

Sylveon (Cherry): "I can't believe you're bad at remembering."

*Clement takes off two Pokeballs as he sends Haru and Asahi back, placing them in his pocket. He took out one Pokeball.*

Clement: "I'll take you to the Pokemon Center once it's done."

*Adam picks out a middle finger at Cherry and Roman.*

Chesnaught (Adam): "This is for not remembering me, assholes."

Sylveon (Cherry): "I'm deeply sorry, Adam."

*Adam was sent back safely to his Pokeball.*

Clement: *Ahem* "Serena. Can you please untie them?"

Serena: "Right, right."

*Serena towards Nate and Geo to untie them. Nate is happy to be finally released. Darwin came to Geo's aid.*

Noivern (Nate): "Finally! I'm free!"

Darwin: "Oh jeez, Geo. You're becoming a mess..."

Delphox (Brittany): "Is he okay?"

Darwin: "I can feel him breathing so he's just unconscious. He'll be fine once I take him to the Pokemon Center."

*Elizabeth rose as Finn helped get to the top floor. Nate flies toward with relief.*

Elizabeth: *Hugs Nate* "Nate! Oh my goodness, I was so worried about you."

Clement: "Mind explaining why you all have the two tied together?"

Pancham (Roman): "We wanted to find Blue throughout the wild."

Sylveon (Cherry): "But we never be able to him."

Serena: "Both Cherry and Roman go to the wild, cities, and or routes Blue might have gone out."

Darwin: "So you let your two Pokemon scattered around Kalos, just to find long-lost friends of yours."

Serena: "It sounds crazy, but yeah, it's true."

Bonnie: "But Serena, we haven't seen Blue for so long."

Clement: "Yeah, Adam can't tell if he's still out there, alive."

Elizabeth: "Not just that, you try to hurt one of my Pokemon."

Serena: "Look, I'm sorry. I did a bad thing and it's all my fault. Greninja and Noivern are very similar to Blue and Eli. What's crazy is your Greninja has the same ability, just as I remember. Which means it really is him, or so I thought."

Darwin: "I have to break it to you, but I got Geo from Professor Sycamore, as a gift for starting my journey. You might have known him."

Serena: "Oh my gosh... I was wrong the entire time..."

Bonnie: "And Serena, I felt the same way. When I first approached him, I thought it was him. But Geo and Darwin explain it to me briefly."

Clement: "Darwin, let's go back. Nurse Joy can help you heal your partner."

Everyone jumps out of baloney. The three of us, Clement, Darwin, and I are about to hop out but Cherry stops and feels ashamed of herself. "Will you forgive us?" she said, having her ears lowered. I turn to look at them, "If they can accept your apology." I say while I jump out with Clement and Darwin and head to the Pokemon Center.

Greninja (Geo) POV:

A few Hours Later...

Greninja (Geo): "Zzz..." *Groans* "Oh...Hell... It felt like shit..."

Nurse Joy: "Oh you're awake. This must be a miracle."

Greninja (Geo): "Nurse Joy. Where the hell am I?"

Nurse Joy: "You're at the Pokemon Center right now. Your partner is the one who brought you here."

Greninja (Geo): "That means I'm saved now. Wait..." *Looks around* "Where's Nate?! Tell me he's okay!"

Audino: "Woah, calm yourself down. I don't want you to be a lot stressed."

Nurse Joy: "Your friend is okay. My Audino and I heal him up. After that, we send him directly to his partner."

Audino: "I have to use Heal Pulse to do the job."

Greninja (Geo): "Whew...What a relief."

Nurse Joy: "But yours isn't so lucky. You have some severe injuries due to the beating from a Fairy and Fighting Pokemon."

Audino: "I use the same power I use on your friend. But since you are half Dark type, you have to be cautious. You need to go easy on yourself."

Nurse Joy: *Opens the door.* I'll let them visit you, now that you're awake. Come now, partner."

Audino: "On it, Joy. You need rest, capeesh?"

Greninja (Geo): "I promise."

      Both Nurse Joy and Audino left the room, leaving me there. "What happened before I was even brought here?" Then my mind hit me. "Oh, I remember now. Those idiots. They hit the shit out of me. And I thought I was gonna die there, leaving Nate all alone to handle them." I sighed. "Well, I'll be, Darwin and the others saved my life." I heard the door and my team rushed towards me to hug me. They were very happy and I could hear them crying.

Geo's Team: *Crying in agony.*

Greninja (Geo): "Guys, I'm okay. It's not like I'm gonna die."

Garchomp (Mateo): "Well, you were too close to being dead, goddammit!"

Venusaur (Bullet): "What's important is you're okay."

Darwin: "I'm happy I pray God for you to be safe."

Greninja (Geo): "You are the best pal in the world."

       Elizabeth came, along with my team to see me doing fine. I looked at my right and thought it was the same Sylveon. I immediately got Water Shuriken but Serena calmed me down, "Woah, woah, woah, chill! It's just me, Serena. I'm not going to hurt you." With that, I withdraw my Water Shuriken and take a breath. "I thought you were the same Sylveon who tried to kill me." She said with the peace of her mind. "Geo, if I'm friends with a Dark-Type, I won't harm them. But if they are the enemies, I will beat them up." Brittany came to me crying, thought I wasn't going to make it alive.

Delphox (Brittany): *Hugs Geo* "Oh, Geo. I'm glad you're still with us. I got scared about losing you."

Greninja (Geo): *Hugs Brittany* "Sorry I got you worried."

Roserade (Amy): "Whew, from there when I reached the second floor, I thought you were dead. But no, you were just unconscious."

Greninja (Geo): "Hehe...yeah..."

Noivern (Nate): "So, did anything happen last night while Geo and I got captured?"

Elizabeth's team: "..."

Darwin's team: "..."

Greninja (Geo): "Uh...Why are they silent?"

Noivern (Nate): "I have no idea."

Delphox (Brittany): "Love, don't freak out. Something weird happened while we were camping out that night."

Greninja (Geo): "What?..."

Raichu (Logan): "We didn't want to tell you because you would be disgusted to hear it."

Greninja (Geo): "Logan, you're freaking me out. Can someone just tell me what is it?"

Delphox (Brittany): "A boy named Jesus, he thinks Elizabeth is hot and has a crush on her too."

Greninja (Geo): "No...No No No No No!"

Noivern (Nate): "No. OH GOD NO!"

Grneinja (Geo): "Vincent!"

Noivern (Nate): "Why didn't you tell us?!"

Noivern (Vincent): "Look, I didn't want the both of you to be so grossed out while communicating with sound wave effects, okay?!"

Noivern (Nate): "UGH! UGH! UGH! I...I feel like I'm gonna throw up..."

Greninja (Geo): "Me too."

Pangoro (Budo): "You guys need to use the restroom or..."

Greninja (Geo): "It's just an expression!"

*A door was knocked.*

Elizabeth: "Come in."

Clement: "Sorry to interpret, my sister and I just came here to check if your Pokemon are okay."

*Bonnie came rushing in.*

Bonnie: "Geo, are you okay?!"

Greninja (Geo): "I'm okay, kiddo. Look at me, perfectly healthy."

Bonnie: "I'm glad. I didn't expect a few friends I know is gonna hurt you."

Clement: "Speaking of friends..."

*Clement moves aside to reveal Serena and her Pokemon are here.*

Noivern (Nate): *Hides behind Elizabeth* "OH HELL NO! Not them again! Please don't hurt me!"

Greninja (Geo): *Summons Water Shuriken* "GET AWAY FROM US, YOU LACK OF SHITS!"

Serena: "Wait wait wait! My Pokemon and I weren't going to hurt you!"

Greninja (Geo): "But you were! And I'm going to kill you, like just what you did to me!"

Pancham (Roman): "Look! I know what we did is horrible, but can you please remove your Water Shuriken for Christ's sake?!"

Darwin: "Geo! Please calm down!"

Greninja (Geo): "...Grr! Fine!" *Withdraws Water Shuriken*

Delphox (Brittany): *Embracing Geo* "It's okay, Geo. I'm sure they have a good explanation for all of this."

Serena: "I'm sorry for everything my team and I put you through, a..... Bonnie, what's his name again?"

Bonnie: "Geo. His name is Geo, woman."

Serena: "Right...My good friend, Bonnie explained to me, about who you are. So, I want to give you my sincere apologies."

Greninja (Geo): "I don't believe you."

Serena: "But I just... never mind."

Delphox (Ruby): "Okay, how about you show something that makes you "you"? So we know the differences."

Aegislash (Jayden): "Is it really necessary to say on a time like this?"

Delphox (Brittany): "Oh! I know."

*Brittany held Geo's arm to show his bracelet.*

Delphox (Brittany): "Look at the bracelet. I gave it to him as a gift."

Pancham (Roman): "Huh, this Greninja is telling the truth. He's not Blue. We didn't know he was wearing it."

Greninja (Geo): "Of course, you didn't see it. Your friend tied me and Nate, so clearly, you didn't see my bracelet beneath the ribbons."

Sylveon (Cherry): "Hee hee...Oops, that will be my bad."

Bonnie: "My god! You guys are so horrible!"

Serena: "Bonnie."

Clement: "No, Serena. She's right. What you did is so unacceptable. You're lucky that they are alive."

Serena: "Clement, I-"

Alex: *Fading Background* "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!"

Bonnie: "Who is that screaming?"

Darwin: "Oh no..."

Elizabeth: "It must be my cousin."

*Elizabeth left the room.*

Clement: "I think I had a bad feeling about what's going on."

With Elizabeth:

*Elizabeth heads to the main hall of the Pokemon Center. She said the commotion from Bobby, Alex, and the gym trainers from Laverre Gym.*

Bobby: "I told you. I knew this would happen, but you girls won't listen to us!"

Gym Trainer #1: "I'm deeply sorry, my friend thinks you try to harm Valerie."

Alex: "We didn't even want to kill her, we came to the gym to warn her!"

Gym Trainer #2: "Oh my god... I misunderstood you all along."

Elizabeth: "Bobby, what's happened in here?"

Bobby: "Valerie's gym trainers informed us that the gym leader herself is held hostage."

Elizabeth: "Oh no..."

Gym Trainer #2: "Hey you. Please we deeply need help. I'm very serious right now!"

Elizabeth: "Yes. Yes! My group and I love to help to save her."

Bobby: "This time, we're serious."

Gym Trainers #1 & #2: "Thank you."

When the teens got the news, knowing Laverre's Gym Leader was in danger at the hands of a couple of troublemakers, they knew they had no time to lose. The teenagers need the help from Clement's help along with his Pokemon. The one thing they're good at fighting evil from the likes of greedy people.
