When we made it onto land, Taka and I hopped off of Clawitzer and I returned it back to my PokeBall. When we turned around, Stantler came up to me and started to lick my face.
Matthew: -chuckles- I’ve missed you too Rudie.
Taka: Is that your Stantler Matt?
Matthew: Umm… Kind of. I’ve used it in battles but I’ve never caught it. It let’s me ride around on it.
Taka: That sounds cool. So… what do we do now?
Matthew: Well we should probably check in with Titania and Amaria and see how they’re doing and then depending on the situation, we’ll rest there or go back to Agate Circus and have a long rest.
Taka: Sounds like a good plan.
Matthew: Before we go though, what do you plan on doing? Do you have any idea?
Taka: Umm… I’m not sure yet.
Matthew: Alright. That’s fine. Just thought I’d ask. Let’s go then.
The 3 of us started to walk up to Amaria and Titania’s house. When we were getting close though, I heard a familar voice that I hadn’t heard for quite some time call my name. Taka jumped at the sound of the shriekingness of the voice. I turned around and could see Julia and Florinia walking up towards us. My stomach started to feel like it was going out of control. Wehttam must have been going crazy from seeing Florinia again after so long of not seeing her.
Matthew: Hey hey. Calm down. I know Florinia’s here.
Taka: Who are you talking to?
Matthew: Wehtta… Ohh right. I’ll have to explain it to you later.
Julia: Matthew! You’re here! Oh my god! How are you? It’s totally been about 48 episodes since I saw you last time!
Taka: 48 episodes?
Matthew: She’s… She’s just weird.
Julia: See or cause any explosions lately?
Matthew: And she’s also really into explosions too.
Florinia: Greetings.
Julia: Ohh. Hi Matthew’s friend! Who are you?
Taka: The name’s Taka and uhh… I… I used to be apart of Team Meteor.
Julia’s face froze. I could understand why Taka would want to be open about his involvement with Team Meteor so he could be fully truthful but to be like that with people you literally just met and to who they also have been battling against for a very long time probably wasn’t a good thing. I stepped in front of the 2 and explained the situation. Luckily, that seemed to have done the trick and Julia went back to her happy go lucky bomb loving ways.
Julia: Well you should have explained how Matt helped you get out of that situation! Sorry if I scared you.
Taka: It’s… It’s ok. I think I would be too if the roles were revered.
Matthew: -relieved sigh- What are you 2 doing up here anyways?
Julia: Ohh yea! We flew ip here cus we saw Amy and Tania riding up the waterfall and we were filled with big question marks! But see ing you here?! Along with an ex member of Team Meteor!? That’s like adding a whole bunch of exclamation points at the end! So we HAD to come up!
Taka: Yea. We were down there with them. We were actually gonna go check on them now.
Julia: Great! By the way, I’m impressed you’ve made it this far Matthew!
Matthew: You are? Why?
Julia: Well almost nobody even GETS to challenge some of the higher up Leaders because so many of the other ones are off hiding in caves or getting chased by evil doctors!
Matthew: Wait. You knew about the orphanage break out?
Julia: Yep! You and Cain and Shelly did a good thing! Could have used some boomies though.
Florinia: Indeed. Referring back to the Gym Leader, Ame has been overseeing your endeavors and will be modifying procedures and policies as necessary.
Matthew: Sounds like a good thing. No more evil Gym Leaders.
Florinia: Also, she has additionally permitted us to deliver this to you.
Florinia walked up to me and handed me a machine that said the word “FLY” on it. I was happy to have gotten this but unfortuantely, I didn’t have a Pokemon that could learn this move. Despite Gliscor being a Flying Type, I knew he couldn’t learn this move for whatever reason. However, I thanked her for it and placed it into my pocket.
Julia: After you get done beating a Seel, you’ll get the badge and then you have to come back to Reborn!
Florinia: Ciel.
Matthew: -stomach growls and rumbles- Jeesh. Calm down.
Julia: Riniii, that’s what I just said! Jeez! Anyways, once you get that, you and you’re friend have to come back to the city and say hi! You should SEE what we’ve done to the place!
Matthew: What’s been done? What do you mean?
Julia: That old Fairy Gym Leader, Adrienn I think, showed up and was able to rally everyone into helping renovate the city and it’s practically EXPLODED with progress!
Florinia: While there were several explosions involved, they were not an intended reconstructional step.
Julia: Theywereme.
I could feel excitement welling up from inside me. It had been months since I 1st arrived here and I remembered how the streets and the buildings and the atmosphere was so just downright down in the dumps. I could never imagined that this place could be restored to its natural glory it once was. I wanted to have it happen even though I had no way of knowing how to do that. But I was glad that I had run into Adrienn when me and some others were going after El in that place underground. I looked over to Taka and could even see some excitement from his facial expressions as well. But then, we all heard a weird noise. The lot of us turned around and looked up in the air and spotted something.
Julia: What is that?
Matthew: Is that… a helicopter?
Taka: Wait a minute… That’s a Team Meteor helicopter!
Florinia: Confirmed. Team Meteor spotted.
Julia: What?! They’re here to! No way! I’m gonna boomboom their faces off if they try to do anything to Amy and Tania! -runs off towards the building-
Florinia: This situation may not be easily resolved. Do ensure your preparation before attending to it. -runs off towards the building-
Matthew: Fuck. They got here fast. Come on Taka. Let’s go too.
Taka: Uhh… Yea. Sure.
The Stantler, Taka and I got up to the building. Before we went in however, I could see that Taka seemed quite scared. We hid away from sight in hopes that Team Meteor didn’t see us. But thanks to the noise the helicopter was making, it would be easier for us to talk without them hearing us.
Matthew: What’s wrong Taka?
Taka: I saw… I saw my father on that plane.
Matthew: Solaris… Fuck. Hey. I get it if you don’t want to dash in there and help ok.
Taka: But… But what do I do then?
Matthew: You and Rudie will stay out here. If any Team Meteor Grunts try to get in, battle them and scare them away. Rudie will help too.
Taka: Alright. I think I can do that. I’ll look through the glass to see what goes on, alright?
Matthew: Alright. See you soon Taka.
I patted Taka on the shoulder and then rushed inside. When I got in there, I saw Julia freaking out about Team Meteor being there to Titania. She didn’t seem to be concerned though. Well, not as concerned as I expected her to be.
Titania: Chill Julia. We expected them. I just didn’t expect them so soon.
Julia: Ohh! I know! Let’s lure them in here and then blow the whole place up on their faces and then the rest of us can sneak out unharmed!
Matthew: Julia, explosions aren’t the answer for everything. Besides, I’m not in the mood to just run away from them. It’s time to stand and fight!
Titania: So you’re here as well Matthew. Perfect. Where’s the boy?
Matthew: He’s outside. He can’t stand up to his father. So I put him and Rudie on Team Meteor Grunts take out duty.
Titania: Better than doing nothing I guess. Anyways, there’s no way I’m blowing this place up. Amaria was injured. She’s in her room in the back, but she hasn’t woken up yet. We can’t move her.
Julia: Huh? Amy was- Nooooo. Is she going to be ok?!
Titania: I don’t know. But I’m not giving up on her. And there’s no way in hell I’m letting Team Meteor get her again.
Julia: Then there’s only 1 thing to do!
Matthew: For the 1000th time Julia, we can’t always just explode things! It’s not always the answer!
Julia: Fight, fight, fight! We’ll win the day! We’ll send those Meteor jerks away!
Matthew: Ohh… Nevermind then.
Florinia: Understood. Analyzing structure.
Titania: What do you mean? There’s nothing to analyze. Take up defensive positions at the house exits. We won’t let them in.
Florinia: Incorrect. I hypothesize that Team Meteor will create additional entrance routes.
Titania: Ugh. Are you ever gonna stop talking that way Florinia? It’s been how many years and you’re still overreacting?
Julia: Please! Now’s not the time for that! Let’s listen to her plan.
Matthew: Yea. For once, I agree with Julia.
Florinia then started to tell her plan to us. She planned for herself and I to take a defensive line on top of the stairs. She had Julia stand guard in the back room in case some grunts would break into the place from there. She had Titania go back into Amaria’s room in case Team Meteor somehow got in there as well. Everyone got into position. There was a big explosion that could be heard from upstairs and down came Solaris. His eyes and my eyes locked onto each others.
Solaris: So, it seems we are not unexpected.
Matthew: You’d be dumb to think that we wouldn’t be.
Solaris: Heh. So cocky. I will make this simple. You will give us the Sapphire Bracelets and you will be left in peace.
Matthew: Aaannnd if we refuse?
Solaris: We will take them by force and you will be left in ruin.
Matthew: That’s the best threat you could come up? Psh. Please. I’m more afraid of Julia back here and she’s 1 of the good guys.
Julia: Hi! Now let’s boom your face off! There’s no way we’re gonna give in to an old creep like you!
Solaris: Understood. -pulls out a walkie talkie and talks into it- Team Meteor, attack.
A couple of Team Meteor Grunts came crashing through the glass windows and landed inside. 2 of them ran up to Florinia and I and a battle broke out. It really wasn’t that hard to dispose of them though as the 2 of us were victorious over them. After that, a voice could be heard. A familiar voice. Sirius came up through the door dragging Fern by the collar of his shirt. Taka must have hidden somewhere so Sirius wouldn’t have noticed him. I couldn’t blame him for that.
Fern: What the fuck! Let me fucking go! What do you think you’re doing?
Matthew: Seriously?
Fern: Shut up Matt! Don’t you see the predicament I’m in?! Sis, help!
Sirius: The Bracelets for his life.
Another window could be heard being broken into. Julia swiftly rushed into the room to try to stop a Team Meteor member.
Florinia: As predicted.
Sirius: So what is your answer Florinia?
Fern: Ahh! Please! You can’t just turn your back on me like this!
Florinia: Incorrect!
Fern: Wha-What are you saying?!
I was shocked that Florinia had said that. I mean I didn’t have any love loss for Fern and honestly didn’t really care what would happen to him. Of course though, I knew this was all a ruse to try to get the bracelets but I wasn’t expecting Florinia’s answer to be that. Even Fern’s reaction to that seemed like he was hurt from that.
Matthew: Wow… I can’t-
Florinia: My position is unchanged.
Fern: Tch. That’s cold sis. I mean, I know you’re a wannabe robot but I thought that you at least had some feeling left.
Matthew: That’s rich coming from you Fern.
Fern: Shut it! This is between me and her! I’ll deal with you soon enough!
Blake: God damn lady! Calm the fuck down already!
Blake called out his Walrein and sealed the door with ice, which meant that Julia was now trapped in the room. He turned around and saw me. His expression was clear that he was annoyed that I was there. I was also annoyed that he was there too but knew I would have an enjoyable time knocking his ass down again.
Solaris: Blake. Fern. You will remove this obstacle.
Blake: Whatever. At least I’ll get some payback from the battle we had on top of that mountain.
Matthew: The result will be the same now as it was on there.
Fern: You got it boss.
Florinia: “Boss”? Am I to correctly conclude that you are following instructions of this group?
Matthew: Shit. A lot’s been going on that I didn’t even tell you. Yea. He’s with them. Honestly though, I wasn’t all that surprised when I found out too.
Fern: I don’t care what you think. Yea. The whole hostage thing was an act to get a rise out of you. But even aside from that, turns out I’m the most valuable ally they could have.
Matthew: The most valuable ally? HA! So how many times have you beaten me? None. This will make it 6 and 0. You sure you want that on your record Fern?
Fern: Shut up! Fuck! You just get lucky! That’s all!
Matthew: Dude, you can’t keep using that lame ass excuse every time I beat you down.
Florinia:… Understood. This error shall be remedied at once.
Matthew: This is gonna be too fun.
Blake: Can’t wait to wipe that smile off your fucking face punk!
Fern: Bring it on Flobot. I ain’t afraid of you.
The battle started. Myself and Florinia against her brother and that cold hearted bitch Blake. I will admit that this battle was quite difficult despite having a Gym Leader as a partner. But despite the toughness, me and Florinia were able to come out victorious. Fern and Blake were obviously pissed off losing against the pair of us. But this also left our Pokemon quite tired. If we had to do another battle, we would surely be defeated.
Florinia: Regret is unnecessary. Contrarwise, your defeat is a marked success. Do consider what procedural mistakes you have committed and remedy them immediately.
Blake: Jeez. Your sister is a wordy bitch isn’t she?
Matthew: Maybe so but we beat the hell out of the 2 of you didn’t we?
Florinia: You should specifically quit your allegiance to this organization.
Solaris: I see. It appears as Matthew, as well as the Gym Leaders, remains as troublesome as ever. I still regret not eliminating this obstacle when I had the chance.
Fern: Are you really giving Matthew here credit? Please. Blame my sister. Look sis. I don’t know what you think you’re accomplishing there, but we’re changing the world. And in our New World, guess who’s gonna be at the top?
Matthew:… Blake?
Fern: Ye- Wait. What? No! Me you dumbass!
Blake: I beg to differ there you fuck up!
Fern: Whatever you say ice boy. Anyways, we could have done this together sis. But YOU threw that away! You didn’t even care about me! What if my life really had been in danger huh?
Matthew: -talking under my breath- I certainly wouldn’t have cared.
Fern: Some sister you are. You really are dead inside. You really are just a stupid robot now aren’t you?
Florinia: Incorrect.
As Fern continued to berate his sister about how she didn’t care about him or really about anyone or herself anymore and insulting her, I could feel as if she was doubting herself each time she denied it. I could also feel my stomach feeling really weird. Wehttam must have been severely angry at Fern for making Florinia feeling like that. As Fern was leaving the building, he told Solaris and Sirius that he didn’t have a sister anymore and to do what they wanted to her.
Solaris: Well… You heard the boy Sirius. Remove her.
Matthew: Wait. What?!
Sirius: Seviper, Poison Fang!
Before I could do anything, out popped Sirius’ Seviper and it launched its attack onto Florinia. She staggered backwards towards the wall and dropped down onto the floor, sitting, knocked out. I couldn’t believe what happened.
Matthew: Florinia! No!
Solairs: I will take care of Matthew now! Tyranitar! Superpower!
Tyranitar popped out of its PokeBall. I turned around looking at the monstrous beast. I knew I wouldn’t be able to dodge the attack in time. So I tried to defend myself as best I could. The Tyranitar clenched its fist and punched me right in the gut. Instantly, I could feel my ribs being cracked by the force of this punch. Now I knew how Amaria felt when this was done to her. I flew backwards towards the wall, smashed my head up against the wall and fell towards the ground, almost unconscious.
Solaris: Hmph. Still alive. This 1 is persistent.
Julia: Gah!
Out of nowhere, Julia was able to bust out of the room that Blake trapped her in. She was face to face with Blake. With a swift push, he was sent over the railing and onto the floor below. I was too hurt and disoriented to hear what he was saying but I was sure that it was all cursing. She looked over to me and Florinia’s fallen bodies and let out a terrifying scream. She ran over to us to make sure we were ok.
Julia: Flornia! Matthew! No… You did this!
Solaris: Well of course I did. We will eliminate everyone who threatens Team Meteors goal.
Julia: I… I won’t let you do that!
Solaris: Well what do you plan on doing? You are all by yourself and we outnumber you.
Julia looked at her challenge and then back to us. She knew she wouldn’t be able to defeat them but she didn’t want us hurt anymore. Back outside, Taka was watching everything that had just went down.
Luckily, besides Sirius, no Team Meteor Grunts were coming through the front entrance of the place. But Taka felt something. It wasn’t fear. It wasn’t sadness. It was rage. It was anger. His father had horribly hurt his only friend that he was able to make. He finally made his decision. He turned towards Stantler.
Taka: Listen Rudie, you stay here and keep guard just in case any Team Meteor Grunts try to go through the front door. I don’t think there will be but just keep an eye out alright.
Stantler: -nods its head understanding Taka-
Taka: I’m going in there to confront my dad… It needs to be done!
Taka walked up to the door and pushed it open. All of Team Meteor turned around and watched as Taka ran up the side of the wall and ran in front of his father. Solaris looked annoyed at his son being there.
Solaris: Taka… I see you’ve failed to detain Matthew back in the Water Treatment Center. You are a disgrace. Go to the helicopter and wait there. You will receive your punishment when we get back to our new base.
Taka:… No. I’m not taking orders from you anymore father.
Solaris: Excuse me? What did you just say?
Taka: I said I’m not taking orders from you anymore!
Solaris: What is this? How dare you defy orders from me! Obey my commands or-
Taka: No! I’m not apart of Team Meteor anymore!
Solaris staggered back a bit but then he regained his composure. He seemed surprised but not all the way surprised. He walked up closer to his son.
Solaris: So… It’s finally happened. You have not only betrayed Team Meteor but your own father. You are a useless, pathetic excuse for a son.
Taka: No. Being apart of Team Meteor… I never liked it. It wasn’t me. I hated doing what you ordered us to do. It wasn’t right. Still not right. But thanks to Matthew… I realized that I needed to get away. I didn’t even know if I was gonna fight against you or not but… you’ve made that very clear for me. You have given me my answer. You are now my enemy.
Solaris: Interesting. So my son betrays us and decides to join the helpless citizens of Reborn. I can’t believe you are related to me. You are a disappointment.
Taka: Maybe in your eyes but for the 1st time in my life, I made a choice for myself and… and I feel happy about it. I actually feel happy. I’m gonna make sure that Team Meteor fails in their goal!
Solaris: I see that you are serious about this. And you stand directly in front of that person. Matthew. It seems he actually was able to turn 1 of our own against us.
Taka: He convinced me that there’s better things to do than take orders from you and to be afraid of you. No longer am I afraid of you father!
Solaris: I see… I have a proposal for you. None of Team Meteor except I will interfere now. Battle me boy.
Taka: Battle… you?
Solaris: Yes. Battle me. Son VS Father. A Prodigy VS A Disappointment.
Taka: You son of a-
Solaris: I win, I take the bracelets and you. You win, we leave and you do whatever you want and keep the bracelets… for now.
Taka:… Fine. You got a deal.
Solaris: -chuckles- Foolish boy. You honestly expect to beat me? This person has put false trust into you. You will suffer like he’s suffering right now!
Taka: No. I will defeat you! I know I can!
Matthew: T… Taka…
Julia: Matt! Try to rest and don’t talk. You’re too hurt right now.
Matthew: Taka… Y-You got th… this dude… -officially falls unconscious-
Taka: Matt… Right. Julia, just make sure he and that other girl are alright. I’m gonna take care of this.
Julia: Ok… You can do this Taka!
Solaris and Taka grabbed their PokeBalls and threw them. The battle then started. The 2 seemed fairly even in strength. 1 didn’t seem to have overpowered the other. It was a hard fought battle and close but Taka was able to defeat his father in the battle. Taka seemed surprised that he was able to defeat his father but he did it. Solaris returned back his last Pokemon. He was obviously upset at the outcome of the battle.
Solaris: How could… Gah! You and that Chatot of yours infuriates me! Defeating my Garchomp… Ridiculous!
Taka: Nothing ridiculous about it. I’m just a better trainer than you.
Solaris: Why you-!
Taka: Now… Leave.
Solaris: You honestly expect us to leave?!
Team Meteor Grunt: -walks into the house and up to Solaris- Sir! The helicopter has been destroyed!
Solaris: It what?!
Julia: Onto victory we will zoom cus I made that thing go boom, boom, boom!
Taka: Nice job Julia.
Titania exited Amaria’s room. She saw Florinia’s and my unconscious bodies. She then looked over to Taka and was somewhat surprised to see him taking a stand against his father.
Titania: Well this is a surprising twist. I guess you’re not all that pathetic after all Taka.
Taka: Heh. Thanks.
Titania: Wanna smash some skulls together?
Taka: Yea. I think that’s a good idea.
Solaris: Damnit!… Sirius.
Sirius: Yes sir.
Solaris: This group has established a formidable defense. I do not believe we will be able to break past it. Therefore, let us inspire them to break it for us.
Taka: Break it for you? What do you-
Sirius: Chandelure! Come on out!
Chandelure: -screeches-
Sirius: Funny. This will be the 2nd house I’ve had burned down for the sake of these bracelets. Incinerate it.
Titania: Well unfortunately for you, this house has a built-in Water Gym. Excadrill! Use Fissure!
Excadrill popped out of its ball and did as it was told and broke a hole through the glass. The water poured out into the living room. Sirius, Solaris and some other Team Meteor Grunts swam out of the now living room pool. Solaris was infuriated and embarrassed at what had happened. Team Meteor was unable to get their hands on the bracelets and failed their mission.
Solaris: I hesitate to involve Lin, but I do not see another option.
Taka: -under his breath- Lin? No… No. Not her.
Solaris: Team Meteor will retreat… for today.
Solaris, Sirius and the rest of Team Meteor exited the house. We had won for the time being. When they all left, everyone gave their attention towards me and Florinia who were still unconscious from the direct attacks.
Julia: Are they gonna be ok?
Titania: Well I think Matt will be fine. If anything, he’s probably gonna be horribly sore for a long time but he’ll eventually heal. Florinia on the other hand… well she has a history of being more greatly affected by things than she needs to.
Julia: Would you stop it already!?
Titania: As soon as she does.
Julia: In case you didn’t notice, it’s NORMAL for people to be hurt when their friend blows up on them! She trusted you and you betrayed her!
Titania: Yea? Seems to be a recurring theme lately.
Amaria: Hey, what’s with all the yelling…?
Amaria walked out of her room and looked at the water water flowing into what used to be their living room.
After asking what had happened, Titania told her that they were redecorating which she liked apparently.
Amaria: Ohh wow! It looks great! I like it! Ohh. Who’s our guest here?
Taka: Me? I’m uhh… I’m Taka.
Amaria: Well hello there Taka. Umm… Who’s that and why is he sleeping on the floor?
This question had Taka and Titania puzzled. They knew that we had met before but now she was acting as if she had never met me before. Titania then started to ask her questions.
Titania: Amaria, do you know who I am?
Amaria: What are you saying…? Of course I know who you are. You’re the love of my life!
Titania:… Amy, what’s the last thing you remember before waking up?
Amaria: Why?
Titania: Just answer the question.
Amaria: Umm… Ohh! I was going to go over to Obsidia today and help Rini with that plant stuff down there.
Julia: Umm…
Titania: Move.
Julia moved out of the way and Titania went into the room that was previously blocked off by ice. Amaria seemed worried that she had somehow upset her.
Amaria: Is something… wrong?
Julia: Amy… that Obsidia incident was resolved a long time ago…
Taka: And I’m pretty sure you met Matthew during it.
Amaria: Wait. What?
Florinia: Post-traumatic retrograde amnesia.
Taka: Ahh! Holy- wow!
Julia: Florinia! You’re ok!
Florinia: I am functional, yes. Please disregard my sub-standard performance.
Amaria: Wait. You really think I have amnesia? But… I don’t understand. I thought I just went to sleep like normal…
Florinia: Titania reported that your personage had suffered injury.
Amaria: I don’t remember anything like that, but… I do have a splitting headache if that means anything?
Florinia: Traumatic brain injury may result in diffuse axonal injury and/or retrograde amnesia. It is a logical conclusion.
Amaria: So I just… forgot a bunch of things and people? Like Matthew?
Taka: It seems like it.
Amaria: I-I’m tired… Hey… I think I need some more sleep… Is that ok? When Matt wakes up, can you tell him I’m sorry? I’m just really… tired and confused… I’ll be up in a bit. -goes back into her room-
Florinia: I must depart as well.
Julia: Why?! Oh no! Don’t tell me you have retrogravy amnesty too!
Taka: Good try Julia but not exactly right.
Florinia: I will be attending to Calcenon City. I understand Team Meteor has established operations in Labradorra City. I hypothesize I will be most likely to encounter Fern there.
Taka: I saw that little interaction with that guy. The 1 that almost looks like you right? Why try to save him?
Florinia: He requires recorrection. Farewell.
Florinia then exited the house. Julia and Taka looked down at my body just lying on the floor. Although I was unconscious, I could still feel the pain in my stomach. Some of my ribs were definitely cracked. Julia then spoke up.
Julia: Hey Taka. Could you do me a favor?
Taka: I guess so.
Julia: Could you go check on Titania? I’m worried about her.
Taka: Yea. Sure.
Taka went into the room and Titania went into but when he got inside, he could see no 1 in there. With a busted open window, he guessed that she might have went outside through that. So he climbed out the window and he was right. Titania was outside leaned up against a rock face 1st. Taka slowly approached her.
Taka: Hey… You-
Titania: I am SO fucking tired of this! You know, it’s 1 thing that she found out about my facade and tried to off herself. But I was actually glad to have that shackle lifted off of me. I guess it’s not so bad Matt read my diary after all. But now everything… Everything we just went through has been completely voided by her losing her memory. And once again, I’m stuck.
Taka: I’m… I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say…
Titania started to beat up on the rock. Taka just stood there watching her. He didn’t know what would happen if he tried to stop her. She’d probably pummel him to death or something.
Taka: Are you gonna be ok Titania?
Titania: I don’t know man. I can’t keep living this lie, but I’m not about to let her kill herself twice.
Taka: What are you gonna do?
Titania: I’ll figure something out. In the meantime, I’m leaving. I’m taking the bracelets as far away from here as I can.
Taka: What? But then Team Meteor will be after you.
Titania: I know. If they want these so bad, they’ll have to come and get them. And believe me, they’ll regret it if they try.
Taka: Heh. I almost regretted coming here with you. Almost.
Titania: Heh… You’re alright Taka. Keep fighting against Team Meteor. You got this.
Taka: Thanks Titania.
Titania: Right. Time to go. Skarmory, let’s fly!
Skarmory popped out of the PokeBall. Titania hopped onto the metal bird and took off flying. Taka watched as she disappeared into the sky. When he couldn’t see her anymore, he went back inside and informed Julia of what happened.
Julia: So she took off huh?
Taka: Yea. I guess she doesn’t want Amaria to be in anymore trouble.
Julia: Well knowing her, she probably took the bracelets to her Gym in the desert.
Taka: Her Gym’s in the desert?
Julia: Yep! It’s a bizarre place but it’s fun too!
Taka: Well, good thing I know how to get there then, but… probably gonna wait til Matt wakes up. Which might be a while. I think I’ll take him back to the Agate Circus.
Julia: Why?
Taka: I just feel like it’d be better for us. It’s kind of awkward to be here right now.
Julia: I guess so. I’m gonna stay here to make sure Amaria is alright.
Taka: That’s probably a good idea.
Julia: Thanks… You know, I worry about all of them… But that’s why I gotta keep my spirits high! OTS, we’ll win the fight! Everything will be all right!
Taka: -chuckles- You know Julia, you’re a real good friend.
Julia: Thanks Taka.
The 2 shook each other’s hand. Taka proceeded to heave my body over his shoulder and carry me back over to Stantler outside. Taka put my unconscious body onto it and carried me back to the tent where I rested for the next couple of days.

I'd like to take this time to thank the 1 and only @Candy for being Solaris in that battle against Taka. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to do what I wanted in this Episode of the story. Again, thank you for doing that for me!
