Bonnie: Ooog… Ow… My head… Huh? Where… am I?
Meteor Grunt: Huh? We got a human in there? Guess that means that Solaris used that trap door a floor above this 1.
Bonnie: Where am I? What is this place?
Meteor Grunt: Well since you won’t be able to get out of there, might as well tell you. We were able to get rid of the Daycare Couple that resided in Obsidia Ward for a god while. Unfortunately, someone recently was able to rescue them and they’re back in business. But the Pokemon you see in these cages are from that. Have a nice stay though kid. None of you are getting anywhere!
The Team Meteor Grunt then turned his back towards Bonnie. Bonnie looked around the area. There were a lot of cages with about half of them full with Pokemon.
It saddened her that these Pokemon were stolen from their trainers. She went over to the bars to see if she could move them but of course she wasn’t able to. She then tried to think of a way to break the bars from the cage. She didn’t want to alarm the grunt though. She inspected all of the cages that contained Pokemon. After taking sometime to look at all of them, she finally was able to come up with a plan. She walked over to the cage that contained a Loudred and asked it to yell loudly with her close to it. The Loudred looked confused but Bonnie insisted that it do it. The Loudred yelled out really loud. Bonnie felt like she had gone deaf but couldn’t focus on the pain right now. She walked over to the Jigglypuff and asked it to use Sing. The Jigglypuff happily obliged and started to sing. Thanks to Bonnie not being able to hear the song, she was not put to sleep. By the time Jigglypuff was done singing, Bonnie had regained her hearing. She went back over to the cage to check on the grunt. He was in fact sleeping. Her plan had worked.
Bonnie: Alright! Now gotta find a way to get these bars off. Hmm… Ohh! I know! Come on out Tyrunt!
Tyrunt: Ty?
Bonnie: Alright Tyrunt! I want you to try to bite through those bars so we can get out of here!
Tyrunt: Ty! Tyrunt!
Tyrunt ran up to the metal bars and started to chomp down onto the metal bars. At 1st, the metal bars didn’t budge at all. Then, dents started to appear on them. Then cracks. At last, Tyrunt chomped through the bars, leaving an opening big enough for Bonnie to escape through. Bonnie praised her Pokemon and then sent it back to its PokeBall. The grunt was still asleep so Bonnie snuck past him and looked for a way out. She had to fend off some Meteor Grunts but was able to defeat them. She came across a computer panel and pressed a button on it. Near where she was, she could hear something unlock. She went to where the source of the sound was. When she got to the area, she saw that it was a door. She turned the knob and opened the door. She looked outside. Out of nowhere, Noel ran inside and bumped into her. The 2 fell down onto the ground.
Bonnie: Ow!
Noel: That did not feel good.
Bonnie: Noel! What are you doing?!
Noel: Bonnie? Ohh… I’m sorry. I assumed it was a Team Meteor Member when I saw the door opening.
Bonnie: Ohh. Well I guess I can’t be mad at you for that then.
Noel: Hey. Where’s Amaria?
Bonnie: I’m not sure. We got separated a while back.
Noel: We should find her soon.
Bonnie: I will. You go back outside though. Take out any Meteor people you see that try to come out that way.
Noel: Alright. I will. You… You be careful Bonnie.
Bonnie: -blushes- I will. You be careful too Noel.
Noel smiled a bit and then went back outside. Bonnie went searching throughout the building to find Amaria or any sign of Solaris. She soon came to an area with a steel grate up.
There was a computer panel by the side of it. She pressed the button on it and 1 of the steel grates raised up into the ceiling. She began searching the building for the other computer panel. It took some time and some more Meteor Grunts battles but she finally found the 2nd 1 and pushed the button. She could hear the steel grate downstairs rise up. She ran downstairs back to where the steel grates used to be and could now see a door leading into the next room. She took a deep breath and walked through it. When she got to the other room, she could see a lot of science like people and more Team Meteor Grunts. Then she saw 1 that she had seen sometime ago.
Bonnie: You. You’re the weird 1 that talks to himself. Or herself.
zeL: Ohh… It’s you. You, umm… You probably shouldn’t be here.
Bonnie: I shouldn’t be here? What about you lot?! None of you should be here!
???: You’re an annoyance.
Bonnie: And you. You tried trapping me in that cage.
???: Yes I did and I obviously had an incompetent Meteor Grunt guarding that area. But I’ll deal with that later. I give you credit, umm… What was your name again? Bonnie right? I congratulate you for cutting through my subordinates.
Bonnie: What are you people doing here?
???: As a reward for impressing me, I want you to come over here and observe something.
There was some hesitation in her steps as she followed the individual but when she saw the PULSE Machine with what looked like a Muk inside of it, her pace picked up. She stood in front of the the Muk, horrified. The Pokemon seemed to be in a bad state. She felt sorry for it.
Bonnie: What… What are you doing to this Muk?!
???: I’m sure you’re aware of this Bonnie but this is a PULSE Machine. It’s slightly different from the 1 you’ve already seen however.
Bonnie: What do you mean?
???: The machine to which it’s attached drains its lifeforce and suffocates its spirit. Watch as even its body gives way as it collapses into a puddle of its own drool.
Bonnie: You… How could you?! Muk!
???: Whine all you want little girl. But now that you are distracted, Garchomp! Dragon Rush! Execute!
The stranger threw out a PokeBall and out popped the Garchomp. Bonnie was unfortunately not able to do anything to even try to dodge the attack. But then all of a sudden, 1 of her Pokemon popped out of their PokeBalls and blocked the attack. Bonnie was thrown onto the ground with the sudden force coming from her PokeBall. She heard a familiar sound though when she regained her composure but it didn’t sound right. What she was hearing was the sound of a Tyrantrum. She then made a sudden realization. She opened her eyes and looked towards the stranger’s way and could see a Garchomp and a Tyrantrum that had blocked the attack. Bonnie stared at the 2 beasts in shock and amazement.
Bonnie: T-Tyrunt? Is that you?
Tyrantrum: -nods its head yes- Tyran!
Bonnie: D-Did you evolve to… save me?
Tyrantrum: Tyrantrum Ty!
Bonnie: -starts to tear up- Thank you Tyrantrum.
Amaria: Bonnie! Are you ok?!
???: Hmph. You are indeed lucky Bonnie. If that Tyrantrum of yours hadn’t have gotten in the way, you’d be eliminated here and now. And now there’s this woman.
Amaria: Atlantica! Ice Beam that dragon!
From up above, a light blue flash could be seen coming towards the Garchomp. Tyrantrum held the beast there for as long as it could. When the beam was close, it let go, avoiding being hit by the attack. Garchomp took the full attack and was instantly knocked out by it, falling onto the ground. The stranger recalled his Pokemon back to his PokeBall. Amaria and her Kingdra jumped down onto the floor, joining everyone.
Bonnie: Amaria! You defeated that beast with just 1 attack!
Amaria: Well of course I did. But are you ok Bonnie?
Bonnie: Yes yes. I’m fine. Thanks to Tyrantrum here.
Amaria: Good. I heard everything that person said by the way. But… I don’t get it. This PULSE Machine floods the lake with poison. Why-
???: Let me stop you right there. Before you ask the obvious question, let me answer it for you right here. The reason why we are poisoning the water is to make people leave.
Bonnie: Why would you wanna do that?
???: This whole city… it’ll become vacant and ruined once again. As it should have stayed in the 1st place!
Amaria: That’s awful! You’re awful!
Bonnie: Yea! No matter what your reason is, this whole thing is just messed up!
???: Silence! The both of you! Do not judge that which you do not understand. We have our motives. If you do not share them, then you are an enemy.
Bonnie: We won’t let you!
Amaria: That’s right! We’ll never allow you to get away with it!
The stranger then looked at Amaria’s wrists. His eyes widened as he saw some sapphire bracelets wrapped around them. He inched closer to her as she took a step back.
Amaria: H-Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!
???: Interesting… Those Sapphire Bracelets…
Amaria: Huh? My bracelets? They were a gift from Tania.
???: They will be ours soon enough then.
Bonnie: Why would you want them?
Amaria: It doesn’t matter why! He’s not going to get them! Anything Tania gives to me is precious. I’ll defend it with my life!
???: -chuckles- Suit yourself. Both are forfeit.
Bonnie: I’m gonna help you Amaria!
Amaria: No! This is my fight.
Bonnie: But Amaria-
Amaria: Bonnie, I want you to try to deactivate the PULSE Machine while I deal with him!
Bonnie: Right! I’m on it!
Zel: Like hell you will!
Bonnie: Darn it. I forgot about you.
Zel: You forgot about us!?
zEl: It would seem your presence here is unnecessary.
Zel: So get the hell out already!
Bonnie: Looks like I’m gonna be in a battle after all. Are you Tyrantrum?!
Tyrantrum: Tyyyyyrantrum!!!
Bonnie: Bring it you freak!
The battle between ZEL and Bonnie was set. ZEL threw out their PokeBall and it started. The battle was somewhat long but with not much struggle, Bonnie was able to come out on top with the victory. Since they used the PULSE Muk during the battle and it was defeated, Bonnie assumed that the contamination to the water would stop now. ZEL turned around towards the confrontation between Amaria and the stranger.
zeL: Solaris, I-I’m sorry but we couldn’t-
Solaris: Hmph. Useless.
Bonnie: -thinking to herself- Solaris? So that’s his name huh? Well it sure fits him.
Solaris: Yes, yes indeed. You are as worthless as your worthless actions. You might have stopped the PULSE but it’s still too late. The lake is already too far gone.
Amaria: Too far gone. You know that’s not true Solaris.
Solaris: Ahh yes. You Amaria. Well I’m afraid we must cut this little fight of ours short but before I leave, a parting gift… Tyranitar! Superpower! On the girl!
Amaria: Huh?!
Bonnie: What?! No! Move Amaria!
There was nothing the pair of them could do though. With surprisingly swift movement, the Tyranitar clenched its claws into a fist and punched Amaria in the gut, causing her to fly backwards a bit and onto the ground. Solaris then returned his Pokemon and Team Meteor fled the area. Bonnie ran up to Amaria and helped her the best she could back up onto her feet. Amaria tried to walk the pain off but she eventually fell onto her knees, thanks to the excruciating pain she could feel in her gut. Just then, Noel came running into the room and could see the state Amaria was in.
Noel: W-What happened?
Bonnie: 1 of the members from Team Meteor used his Tyranitar to hit Amaria in the gut with Superpower.
Noel: Are you ok Amaria?
Amaria: I’m in a lot of freaking pain right now but- ow! Ugh… I’ll be fine eventually… Why are you in here though?
Noel: I saw a bunch of them coming out of the door. I hid behind a dumpster so I wouldn’t be seen. I wouldn’t have been able to beat all of those guys.
Bonnie: I’m just glad you’re ok hu- I mean Noel.
Noel: -blushes- Thanks.
Amaria: Heh… Ugh!
Bonnie: Amaria, let us-
Amaria: N-No… I got this… -struggles to stand up but eventually does- Bonnie… nice job on shutting that machine down…
Bonnie: No problem.
Noel: So… that’s a PULSE Machine?
Bonnie: Mhm. They had a Muk attached to it. It was pretty horrifying to see.
Amaria: Y-Yea… Thanks to you, the water won’t be polluted anymore. But I’m still confused… He said it was… too late?
Bonnie: Yea. I don’t get why he said that either.
Amaria: While it’s true that a lot’s been ruined, the Water Treatment Center under the city will clear it out.
Bonnie: Water Treatment Center?
Noel: Yea. It basically cleans out the water so Water Type Pokemon and people can be in it without being hurt.
Bonnie: Ohh. I see. Well I hope it gets cleaned out soon then.
Amaria: Yea. I think we did something really great toda- ow!
Bonnie: Amaria, I think you need some help.
Amaria: N-No… Please…
Amaria slowly walked up to her Lapras and returned it back inside its PokeBall. Noel moved out of the way as she was making her way down is way. She stopped and held her stomach once more. The pain was obviously massive.
Amaria: Damn… That attack might have hurt a little bit after all… Noel, Bonnie. You 2 still need a way to cross the lake right?
Bonnie: Cross the lake…? Ohh yea! With everything happening here, I completely forgot about that!
Amaria: Well don’t worry about that. You 2 can take my boat. -hands Noel the keys-
Noel: Your boat? But it’ll be destroyed if we use it in the water now. Even if the pollution problem has been taken care of.
Amaria: That’s probably true. The toxic water will most likely destroy the boat. But… I have a feeling you 2 need the boat more now than I’ll need it later.
Bonnie: Amaria… Thank you.
Amaria: No problem you guys. You remember where we met before all of this happened right? That’s where my ship is. In Coral Ward.
Noel: But what are you gonna do?
Amaria: Me? Heh… I think I’m gonna go back home and rest for a while. Hehe… After all, the love of my life is waiting for me.
Noel and Bonnie looked at each other when Amaria said those words. “Love of my life.” The 2 knew that they had some kind of feelings towards each other but they knew it wasn’t that. But maybe, whatever these feelings were right now, might lead to that 1 day. Amaria could see the looks they were giving each other and that made her smile.
Amaria: I’m gonna head back to the Aventurine Region. It’s north of Reborn City. So come by if you’re ever in the area. And Bonnie? Thank you. You 2 Noel.
Bonnie: No probelm Amaria! See you! Feel better soon!
Noel: Yes. Please feel better soon.
Noel and Bonnie watched on as Amaria slowly walked out of the room. They kind of felt bad for not helping her get back to her home but they figured since she was a Gym Leader, she would be ok by herself to get there. Bonnie ran up to Noel and gave him a hug and he returned the gesture. The 2 then looked at each other, nodded their heads and started to run back to the Coral Ward. It was time for them to catch up to Cain and help save their friends.
