"Actuelly, my Dark Regigigas is completed." said Empira. "He should be good for the job." he said, holding up his Poke Ball. He activated his comunicator. "Grunts, keep that Dark Latios there, make him as angry and rage filled as you can." he ordered and started out with his personal grunts, who had the same color scheme as he did for their outfits.

Miki nodded. "Aren't Latias Psychic?" she asked. "Lets see..." she said, looking for something. "There's a wrench, think you could use your powers to throw it at the button and hit it?"

At the Pokemon Center, several 'trainers' threw off their outfits to reveal themselves as grunts. "Hello Latios, its time to come home." said one, the 'leader' of the group. "Come on out Gengar!" he ordered, sending a Dark Gengar out. "Dark Pulse." he ordered, his Gengar complying and sending a wave of dark energy out of its hands at Mello.

Kyrene screamed as shards of the Dark Pulse flew past her, punching holes into the wall just inches from her head. Her head turned and only caught a glimpse of yellow shoot past her -- the scarred Pikachu from earlier.

When some of the trainers threw off their disguises, she was more confused than ever. But her line was drawn when they recalled their Pokémon and ordered it to attack. Kyrene was already shaken by the battle; even more so that it was taking place inside her Pokémon Center. She couldn't allow any more damage to be done. Snatching a Pokéball from her belt, she tossed it out in front of her and in a flash of white light, a Flygon appeared and stood defensively beside the Pikachu.

"Flygon," she called out. "Work with Pikachu!! Draw them out, we need to get the fight out and away from the Pokémon Center!!"

Flygon looked from the Dark Latios and the opposing Gengar to the Pikachu and nodded..

[BTW, Tackle won't work on a Gengar, but we'll just say you used some other attack.]

Flygon buzzed into the air and pursued the fight outside. Its wings flapped at immeasurable speeds, and before long, a sandstorm began to kick up. Kyrene was left inside to deal with the nurses and other people who came asking what just happened. Flygon circled around, utilizing its Sand Veil ability to effectively raise its evasiveness. In the midst of the Sandstorm, Dark Latios was trapped and constantly buffeted by the debris that had broken off from the Pokémon Center. It drew an effective diversion while the Pikachu readied its next attack.




High overhead, Razza watched the battle with high anticipation. His stripes glowed brightly with their orange tinge as he kept his eyes on the Dark Latios in particular.

OOC: BTW, here are all of Empira's pokemon. Dark Regigigas, Regirock, Registeel, Regice, Gallade, and Salamence.

Empira nodded. "Present yourself, Gallade!" he said, throwing out Gallade. "Use Teleport." he ordered. His Gallade did so and he appeared in the Pokemon Center. The Gengar had been knocked out. "Grunts, stand back." he said. He looked to the girl who stood against them. "Stand out of my way little girl." he said. "Gallade, Teleport them." he ordered, not realizing a Pokemon immune to the virus was right in front of them.

Gallade's eyes glowed and a purple field surrounded Amelia, Flygon, and Kyrene. They were Teleported close to Thomas.

Empira turned to the Latios. "Long time no see." he said, he was the one that infected the captured Pokemon personally. "Present yourself Regigigas!" he ordered, sending out his massive Dark Regigigas, whose height tore through the ceiling. "Ice Beam." he ordered.

A beam of blue energy fired out of Regigigas' 'eyes' at his opponent.

Miki jumpped out next to Gemini. "Lets get out of here!" she said.

A grunt ran up to Comet. "Sure, somehow the emegency release in the catainment bay was activated, our uninfected Pokemon just escaped."

Whether or not his attack worked, the Dark Gengar had been flung out of the hole Mello had just created in the wall. He didn't bother following the Gengar to make sure it had fainted and so turned back towards the young nurse just before she called out a Flygon. The Dark Latios growled with frustration as he now knew that he was surrounded by opponents all intended on either capturing him or killing him. His glowing eyes locked on the Flygon and Pikachu that were guarding the woman as sparks began to fly from the rodent's chrimson cheeks.

Mello screeched again, trying to buy himself some time to recharge his dragonbreath again for a second blow. Just as he began to inhale, sand buffed and battered at his body, causing him to lose concentration and gain even more frustration. The Dark Latios was now even closer to falling victim to an uncontrolable rage that he began to lose control of his actions. When he couldn't think for himself, his eyes faded from bright red to a soft blue, as if he were sight sharing with someone, and in fact he was. In his blind rage, Mello could not stop this technique from processing, and so he began to glide around the room trying to dodge the chunks of sand that were gathered by Flygon's sandstorm. The unfortunate soul whom would see through the Dark Latios' eyes would soon be informed of the situation at the Pokemon Center.

"Long time no see."

The Dark Latios turned his head to where the voice had sourced from and noticed that it was the human that had personally injected him with the virus. Mello snarled viciously as he called out a Dark Regigigias. The man ordered his Pokemon to use Ice Beam, and the Dark Regigigias obeyed, sending an icy-blue beam of energy towards the Dark Latios. Compared to the large Pokemon, Mello had better maneuverability and easily weaved away from the Ice Beam before he flew between his opponent's legs and came up from behind. His mouth began to glow deep within his throat before it released as he used Ice Beam against the Regigigias while Sight Share displayed the whole battle.

Thomas scanned the sky for the Dark Pigeot that had managed to fly away. Whether or not it had fleed or he had managed to knock it out of hte sky from his attack he was still very alert. Before he came to the conclusion that he had managed to scare it off, the young Lugia cringed with pain and turned his head around to find three long scratches along his back. The Pigeot had done a number on him in the fight but the wounds didn't seem too severe and Thomas merely shrugged it off. He couldn't do anything about it exept to deal with the pain until it healed enough to become a huge scar, and with that he turned towards the building in which the Pikachu had been running towards.

At first, Flygon whirled around in circles, unsure of its target; whether to go after the Dark Latios or the trainers opposing it. It scrutinized over the trainer when it recalled a Gallade. There was no arguing the point, however. Once the Gallade began to attack Kyrene, Flygon immediately switched targets. It thought it could get to it in time, right after the Gallade stepped on Kyrene's leg, causing her to stumble over and scream out. But it teleported away, and Flygon circled around, scanning for its target.

All around them, the sandstorm raged, and Flygon directed all its energy and attacks at the trainer and its Pokémon with the nerve to go after a trainer instead of its Pokémon.

It found the Gallade amidst the sandstorm and dove for it. As it plummeted to the ground, it began to spin in rapid circles; Aerial Ace, a move strong against his foe's fighting/psychic type. It felt the dynamic impact as it slammed into the Gallade with brute force. A critical hit!!

The attack took a lot of energy from Flygon, but even more out of the Gallade. It was sure the hit would be enough to faint it.

The beam of ice seemed to have hit its target, causing the Dark Regigigias to stumble slightly backwards. His strength must have still been recovering from the long misuse; he hadn't done into an uncontrolable stage since he left Team Dark Night's headquarters, which had been a good few weeks. Mello snarled to himself, wishing the power-up would have been completed once he had revealed his true form before he had lost control, for he was suddenly yanked from his hovering state and mercilessly squeezed.

He roared in agony, feeling his opponent's grip tightening around his body. The Dark Regigigias' hands covered Mello's whole body, leaving his neck and head free to wiggle and possibly counter attack. Though as he was held tight in the Crush Grip, the Dark Latios quickly began to feel exhausted. He attempt to put up a struggle to escape, but the failure to do so caused him to grow frustrated once again, feeding the rage that already bubbled unstablely inside of him. Just in the neck of time, Mello had felt a pulse of energy course through his constricted body. He began to focus most of his energy for a psychic attack that was sure to do something to the Dark Regigigias.

Suddenly, the Dark Latios was surrounded by a violet aura which spread over his whole figure. The light began to create a 'barrier' around Mello's body and before too long, he released a wave of energy just enough to loosen the gigantic Pokemon's grip around his body. But his attack hadn't left him defenseless, he was still outlined in a eerie violet and the energy boost gave him the chance to escape. Mello squirmed in the Regigigias' grip and managed to slip through his hands before darting off into the pale blue sky. He had to get away to heal and to stay clear of Team Dark Night, he couldn't afford to be captured again.

Just as Thomas had the intention to leave the scene to its occupants, he was stopped by a few Pokemon and a human that had been teleported in front of him; a Gallade, Flygon, and a young nurse. He looked down at them with a puzzled look on his face, but when he felt a faint bump on his back, dangerously close to his wounds, he turned his head to find a Pikachu had also been sent outside of the Pokemon Center. 'Wait a minute, that's the same Pikachu from this morning.' The young Lugia realized. He was glad to see that she was alright, but the look on her face told him otherwise.

"Please, help us fight that guy, we need all the help we can get."

The Pikachu held on to one of his pertruding scales on his back as she spoke, and Thomas merely looked at the Flygon that just attacked the Gallade, whom counter attacked with its high-speed combat skills. He turned to look back at the Pikachu and nodded with a determined sparkle in his eyes, and he quickly took to the air with the Pikachu still clinging on. The young Lugia flew high into the clouds, picking up speed that would aid in the attack he planned on using against the Gallade in hopes of fending him off. When he felt his speed was just right, Thomas bent forward and dove towards the battle with blistering speed. He hoped the passenger on his back had enough strength to hold on, but that was the least of his worries. He opened his mouth to charge his Aero Blast attack, drawing in all sorts of energy before it was a glowing, multicolored orb. Thomas held back just enough before it exploded in a beam of rainbow light towards the ground in front of the scene, tearing at the earth with tremendous power a few feet ahead of the Gallade, though with the young Lugia speeding towards his target, the beam of energy would no doubt hit the opposing Pokemon; that is if he didn't dodge it.

"Wait." said Miki. "I sense something...something wrong with that Latios." she said.

Brook ran outside and saw Miki and Gemini. "Wait, I'm coming with you." she said. "I'm tired of what they're doing here, I just want to help."

Empira shielded himself with his cap. Though his armor was damaged, it held. "Darn it." he muttered. Regigigas had been hurt by the attack but tore himself free from the rubble. "Lets go find Gallade and get out of here." he said, jumping into Regigigas' hand and the monsterious pokemon carried him towards where Gallade had teleported.

Gallade looked up and saw the incoming beam. He held up his arms, using Protect to block the attack but still took some damage. He fired a Psycho Cut at the little Lugia.

OOC: Pecario, I don't know if we're allowed to make up attacks...
