Destiny is a Funny Thing - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 - The Battle of Broken Hearts

"Vanilluxe come out." N shouted throwing a Pokeball into the air and a Pokémon that looked similar to a Vanillish appeared. I grabbed my Pokedex and pointed it at the new Pokémon.
Vanilluxe, Snowstorm Pokémon. Swallowing large amounts of water, they make snow clouds inside their bodies and attack their foes with violent blizzards.

"Samurott let's go." I shouted throwing Samurott's Pokeball into the air. Samurott appeared and roared as he glared at Vanilluxe.
"Vanilluxe use Blizzard." N ordered and a huge blizzard appeared from Vanilluxe's mouth. It hit Samurott and he continued to glare at Vanilluxe.
"Samurott use Hydro Pump." I ordered and huge amounts of water shot out of Samurott's mouth and managed to hit Vanilluxe but it continued to stand.
"Vanilluxe use Frost Breath." N ordered and Vanilluxe hit Samurott with an ice chilling breath.

"Samurott use Surf and surf along the waves." I shouted and Samurott summoned huge amounts waves and surfed along the top. The waves completely covered Vanilluxe and Vanilluxe fainted.
"Vanilluxe return." N said and the fainted Vanilluxe returned to it ball.
"You did good my friend." N said to the ball before putting it back onto his belt. Samurott looked fine to me and ready for another round.
"Klinklang come out." N shouted throwing a ball into the air and some kind of giant gear Pokémon appeared.
"Whose that Pokémon?" I asked myself as I grabbed my Pokedex out.
Klinklang, the Gear Pokémon. It's red core functions as an energy tank. It fires the charge energy through its spikes into an area.
"Samurott are you good for another round?" I asked and he nodded and growled and I smiled.

"Klinklang use Flash Cannon." N ordered and Klinklang shot Samurott with a beam of light which cause Samurott to go back a bit.
"Samurott are you ok?" I shouted and he nodded at me but I could see he took a lot of damage from it. He growled at me when he saw me grab his Pokeball and I nodded and put it back.
"Samurott use Megahorn." I ordered and Samurott charged its horn and charged at Klinklang.
"Dodge it." N said and Klinklang dodged it with ease.
"Use Thunderbolt." N ordered and Klinklang shot huge amounts of electricity at Samurott and Samurott fainted.

"Samurott return." I said and Samurott returned to his ball and I kissed it.
"Thanks buddy." I said and put the ball back onto my belt and grabbed another one.
"Pansear let's do this." I shouted throwing the ball into the air. A red light appeared and along with it, Pansear. I caught the ball in my hand and Pansear looked serious.
"Klinklang use Flash Cannon." N ordered and Klinklang shot out a beam of light at Pansear.
"Dodge it and use Fire Blast." I ordered and Pansear jumped into the air and dodged the beam. He shot huge amounts of flames from his mouth and they hit Klinklang. Klinklang was surrounded with flames and soon fainted and N returned it to its ball.

"Archeops come out." N shouted throwing the ball into the air and some kind of weird bird thing appeared. I grabbed my Pokedex and pointed it at it.
Archeops, the First Bird Pokémon. They are intelligent and will cooperate to catch prey. From the ground, they use a running start to take flight.
"Great so it's a Flying-type and a Rock-type." I muttered.
"Pansear return." I said and Pansear returned to his ball and I grabbed another.
"If it's a Flying-type then come out Emolga." I shouted throwing the ball into the air and Emolga appeared.
"Emolga use Thunderbolt." I ordered and Emolga shot huge amounts of thunder at Archeops and Archeops fainted.

"Archeops return." N said and returned the fainted Pokémon.
"Carracosta let's go." N shouted and some kind of blue turtle Pokémon appeared with a black shell on its back.
Carracosta, the Prototurtle Pokémon. They can live both in the ocean and on land. A slap from one of them is enough to open a hole in the bottom of a tanker.
"Emolga use Attract." I ordered and Emolga acted all cute and blew a kiss at Carracosta. Carracosta soon fell in love with Emolga and I heard N growl in frustration.
"Carracosta use Aqua Jet." N ordered but of course Carracosta didn't listen to N.
"Emolga use Thunderbolt and give it everything you've got." I ordered and Emolga shot out huge amounts of electricity at Carracosta and Carracosta fainted.

"Yes." I shouted high-fiving Emolga as N returned the fainted Carracosta to its ball. I saw he had a smirk on his face and my eyes widened.
"Zoroark you know what to do." N said throwing the ball into the air and a Pokémon that reminded me of Zorua appeared. It was standing on its leg and had gray fur and a huge red mane with bits of black on it. Its claws were red as well and it looked scary.
Zoroark, the Illusion Fox Pokémon. Bonds between these Pokémon are very strong. It protects the safety of its pack by tricking its opponents. They protect their lair with illusory scenery.
"Zorua evolved?" I asked and Zoroark smirked at me.
"Zoroark use Night Slash." N ordered and Zoroark's claws started glowing red and he ran over to Emolga.

"Emolga dodge." I ordered but Emolga just flew there with hearts as eyes and I frowned as Zoroark slashed Emolga. Emolga fell backwards and fainted in my arms.
"Emolga take a good rest." I said returning her to her ball and then glared at N.
"What trick did you use." I ordered and N smirked.
"Zoroark here has the ability Illusion, he transformed into your Pansear but only Emolga could see it." He said and my eyes widened and I clenched my fists.
"You bastard." I swore and he smirked even more. I could feel the journal in my bag taunting me, as if saying this is who N really is and not the words he wrote on the paper.
"Swanna let's do this." I shouted throwing the ball into the air and Swanna appeared.
"Will this work?" Lucario asked me and I sighed.

"I've got no choice." I told him and he nodded.
"Swanna use Ariel Ace." I ordered and just as Swanna was getting into the air Zoroark appeared before her and changed into Riolu. Swanna froze to the spot and said something.
"It's not me! I'm over here!" Lucario shouted and Swanna turned and saw Lucario standing near me but this was a huge opening for Zoroark.
"Use Night Slash." N ordered and Zoroark slashed Swanna with its claws and Swanna fainted.
"Swanna!" I shouted and ran over to her. I grabbed her ball and returned her to her ball.
"Take a good rest girl." I whispered and stood up and went back over to Lucario.
"Espeon let's go." I shouted and Espeon appeared and looked ready to battle.
"Wrong move." N said and my eyes widened.

"Zoroark use Night Slash." N ordered and Zoroark charged towards Espeon.
"Espeon dodge it quickly!" I shouted and Espeon dodged it quickly but still got hit a bit on the back. Espeon fell down onto the ground and looked up as Zoroark transformed into the grunt who threw Espeon off the tower back in Mistralton City. Espeon became scared stiff and Lucario tensed up and was about to run over but Zoroark used Night Slash on Espeon and Espeon fainted. My eyes widened and I grabbed Espeon's ball and returned her to her ball.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to the ball and placed it back onto my belt. I glared at N in fury and I saw him flinch.
"That was a dirty trick to use on Espeon!" I shouted at him and N looked shock while Zoroark smirked.
"Shut up!" Lucario growled at Zoroark and walked in front of me.

"No one hurts my family." He swore and Lucario looked scary as hell. My heart started pounding hard in my chest and I stared at Lucario in shock. Before I knew it both Zoroark and Lucario were battling each other without N and myself giving orders. I knew N was as shocked as I was as Lucario used Metal Claw and Zoroark used Flame Thrower. Lucario slashed through the flames and hit Zoroark with Aura Sphere. Zoroark fell back but quickly jumped into the air and hit Lucario with Focus Blast. Lucario landed on the ground hard and some of the ground disappeared. Zoroark charged at him from the air with Night Slash.

"Lucario defend yourself with Bone Rush." I ordered and Lucario held up his paws and something else appeared. Some kind of blue shield appeared and Zoroark fell backwards when hit it the shield.
"What the hell was that?" I shouted and Lucario stood up and was surrounded with a whole lot of aura. He glared at Zoroark who was on the ground and used a very large Aura Sphere and the whole place was filled with blue light. It soon disappeared and Zoroark fainted while Lucario was exhausted.

"Zoroark return." N ordered and Zoroark disappeared into the ball and Lucario fell onto his knees.
"Lucario!" I shouted and ran over to him and caught him in my arms.
"Take a long rest little man." I whispered and return Lucario to his ball and stood up. N had a ball in his hand and I knew who was in it.
"It's finally come to this." N said and I nodded and grabbed Reshiram's ball and enlarged it.
"My last friend... please share your courage with me!" N shouted throwing the ball into the air and the room was filled with electricity and Zekrom appeared. Zekrom roared and I took a deep breath.

"Everyone." I whispered as images of everyone's faces appeared in my mind as I closed my eyes. Cilan, Cress and Chilli's appeared with grins on their faces at the gym/restaurant. Lenora and Hawes appeared in the library along with Burgh painting something. Elise posing for a photo shoot and Clay with a shovel in his hand. Skyla in her plane and Brycen meditating. Iris and Drayden at the ball and then came even more faces. Cheren, Bianca and I laughing at something and hanging out. Both of my grandfather's face appeared. My mom's face appeared with her cooking and then telling me off. A picture of mom and dad appeared and I heard my dad's voice.

"You're a Rowan and Rowan's can do anything, my little princess." He whispered and I opened my eyes.
"Give me the strength to carry on!" I shouted throwing Reshiram's ball into the air and the whole place was filled with fire. Reshiram roared and tears came down my eyes.
Do not cry little one a voice said and I looked up and saw Reshiram looking at me with her blue eyes. I nodded and wiped away the tears and turned serious.
"Zekrom use Fusion Bolt." N ordered and Zekrom threw a huge blue bolt at Reshiram who dodge it but the bolt was heading towards me. I quickly jumped out of the way and Reshiram grabbed my shirt in her mouth and threw me onto her back. Zekrom did the same with N and soon we were flying in the air and Zekrom glared at Reshiram.
We need to be more careful Reshiram said in my mind and her voice was female. This proved my point!

"How? Fusion Bolt is a dangerous move for you." I told her and dodged another attack of Zekrom's.
There is Fusion Flare, that can damage him a lot Reshiram told me and I nodded.
"Use Fusion Flare." I ordered and a huge amount of fire appeared above Reshiram's head and she threw it at Zekrom which caused him to crash land into the ground.
"N!" I shouted and tried to see if he was ok. Thankfully he was and I sighed in relief.
I see you love him Reshiram commented and I blushed.
"I don't think this is the time to discuss my love life." I told her and she dropped it but I could feel the smugness coming from her.
"Zekrom use Zen Headbutt." N ordered and the top of Zekrom's head started glowing white and he charged at us.

"Dodge it!" I shouted but it was too late. Zekrom crushed his head into Reshiram's chest and she cried out in pain. The impact was so great that it cause me to fall off Reshiram. I screamed as I continued to fall from such a huge height.
"White!" I heard N shout out and I turned to see him falling as well and reaching for me.
"N!" I shouted and grabbed his hand and he pulled me close as we continued to fall. As we fell I saw Reshiram and Zekrom flying towards us. Zekrom grabbed N's shirt and N grabbed tight of my hand.

"Don't let go!" He shouted and I looked down.
"Wouldn't dream of it." I shouted back but my hand slipped from his and I continued to fall. I landed on the ground hard and my eyes blurred. Pain shot up through my back and I held back a scream as a searing headache pounding against my skull. I heard N shout out my name and the next thing I knew, I was in his arms as he searched my fast.
"White please say something." He shouted and I could hear the pain in his voice.

"N." I whispered and he gasped.
"I'm here." He said and I slowly opened my eyes and looked into his emerald ones.
"Will you please not shout? I have the world's biggest headache." I whispered and he was shocked and then broke out into a huge grin. He kissed my lips gently and chuckled.
"I'm sorry." He whispered and placed his lips back onto mine and I kissed him back. I slowly got up and he helped me up and I saw Reshiram standing behind me and Zekrom behind N.

"White?" N asked and I looked at him and saw he had a small smile on his face.
"Zekrom and I were beaten." He said and my eyes widened.
"Is this true?" I asked Reshiram and she nodded.
While you were falling with N, I hit Zekrom with Fusion Flare and he fainted for a bit but then caught N Reshiram told me and I nodded and looked at N.
"Your truth... your feelings... they were stronger than mine." He said and then looked at Reshiram and Zekrom.

"Reshiram and Zekrom... each of them choosing a different hero... is that even possible? Two heroes living at the same time-one that pursues truth and the one that pursues ideals. Could... could they both be right?" N asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know." I whispered.
"I have no right to be the hero." N whispered and I kissed his lips and then looked at him.
"Everyone can be a hero, doesn't matter whether you are brave or strong! As long you have others behind you, you can be a hero" I told him and he smiled at me gently.
"Wise words." He said and I smiled.
"I've been hanging out with Lucario for too long." I told him and he chuckled.

"After all of that, do you think you're still worthy of sharing the name Harmonia with me?" An angry voice said and we turned to see Ghetsis standing at the entrance with a furious look on his face.
"You good-for-nothing boy!" He shouted and ran over to us and N shielded me from Ghetsis.
"Wait you two are related?" I whispered to N and he nodded. Words couldn't describe how shocked I was.
"All my hard work fallen because of your stupid feelings for this insignificant little girl." Ghetsis swore glaring at me and I glared back at him.

"To start with, I spurred N into pursuing ideals. The reason we reawakened Zekrom now was to give MY Team Plasma more power! Power to control the fearful masses! That at least was well done. In order to rule this world I need to destroy you since you know the truth." Ghetsis and N looked shocked at hearing this and his face broke my heart.
"Rule the world?" A voice asked and we looked past Ghetsis and saw Cheren and Alder at the doorway. Cheren and Alder ran over to N and I and Cheren glared at Ghetsis.
"Wasn't Team Plasma's goal to liberate Pokémon?" Cheren asked and Ghetsis laughed.
"That was just a convenient lie that I needed to create Team Plasma. Use your head. What's to be gained from letting go of useful things like Pokémon? Certainly, manipulating Pokémon helps people expand their possibilities. That much, I can agree with. So naturally follows that only I should be able to use Pokémon." Ghetsis exclaimed and I looked at him disgust.

"You fool! That's a ridiculous idea!" Alder exclaimed and Cheren just looked at Ghetsis.
"Alder, it's a waste of valuable time listening to him ramble on. He is the one without a human heart." Cheren said and Ghetsis glared at him.
"You can say whatever you want. A Pokémon, even if it's revered as a deity is still just a Pokémon." Ghetsis said and then glared at me.

"White so what if Reshiram chose you! That doesn't mean you're a threat. Come on! Now you will face ME in battle! I can't wait to see the look on your face when you've lost all hope!" Ghetsis and N looked at me and I nodded and stood in front of N.
"Wait." He whispered into my ear and I saw him healing my Pokémon quickly and Lucario appeared out of his ball and glared at Ghetsis.
"I'll fill you in later." I told him and he shook his head.
"No need, Reshiram already did." Lucario said and I looked up at Reshiram and she had a smirk on her face.
"I won't allow anyone to stop me!" Ghetsis exclaimed and I got ready.
