'Charmeleon wants Pichu to be safe!' Rag called above the noise.
'I can sympathize!' I yelled, following Glaceon.
'Look out!' Rag yelled.
I turned to see a cannonball heading directly towards me.
'Joltik! String shot!'
I aimed Joltik at the shot, and his sticky string connected. I turned on the spot, swinging my arm round. The shot curved through the air, coming round to face the ship. Joltik released it, and it hurtled back the way it had come, smashing through one of the propellers and slamming into the side of the ship.
'Yes!'
A volley of cannonballs shot out, at least a dozen raining down.
'Aaaaand back to running. Run!'
We fled from the shore, and I heard an explosion come from the ship. I hoped it was Chatot and Rattata at work.
We were running past frozen trees as we headed up the slope when the whole island shook, bringing us to our knees. Ahead, I saw Glaceon skid to a stop, looking around in a panic.
Behind us, the ice over the sea had broken, a writhing column of water rising up towards the sky. The huge tower of swirling water burst open, and Lugia appeared, looking down at the battleground below him. His telepathic voice rang out in our minds:
'The harmony of the titans has been thrown into chaos once again. I felt the disturbance, and I have come to your world to do what I can to help.'
'Uh....wow.'
I shot slammed into Lugia's back, and he roared, wincing as a burst of flames and smoke erupted by his shoulders 'Run! Get the orb, I will distract Lawrence.'
He turned, firing a blue beam at the ship and calling out telepathically.
'So Lawrence, you have returned!'
Lawrence's voice boomed out on some sort of speaker system 'Indeed, old friend. Fate has given me another chance to claim you, and with my new ally here, I am stronger than ever.'
A deep voice. 'Ha, crush the big birdie.'
'Quite. Still, his....talents have proven rather useful.'
'You will not succeed!'
We left them too it and legged it for the top. As the shrine came into sight, I saw Pichu a litte way ahead. He'd leapt off Glaceon and was dashing on all fours towards the shrine. He scrambled up to the head of the bird statue and started to tug at the orb, scrunching up his face with effort. Me and Rag stood either side of him, checking around for any signs of a trap or an ambush. 'Here you go.' I said, giving the orb a push from behind with my thumb. The added force was enough, and the orb popped out, sending Pichu flying backwards, only for Rag to catch him before he fell. Pichu dropped the orb, and I caught it, handing it to Rag. He was about to give it back to Pichu, who was reaching out for it, when he noticed something. 'Tempest?'
'Yeah?'
'It's glowing.'
I stared at it. He was right. The orb was filled with a dancing blue light.
'So, which of us did it? Was it glowing when I handed it to you, or did it start when you took it?'
'I don't know, I was concentrating on Pichu, didn't you see?'
'No, I've been looking for enemies.'
'So....'
I tried to think. Did it glow when I caught it? I wasn't sure, I hadn't been focusing on it.
'No idea. But it has to me you or me, doesn't it?'
'Looks like it.'
'We can find out later. For now, we have to get this one to the altar.'
'That's a point, where IS the altar?'
'Uh....oh. Um, mainland? Like the film? Let's head back to the cave.'
We turned to head back to the shore, but our path was blocked by three figures, standing on the ridge at the edge of the clearing.
'Prepare for Trouble!'
'Make it Double!'
'Not now!'
I barged past Team Rocket, knocking Jessie into a bush as I went. I could hear her scrreching as I ran:
'Wha-?! How dare you! Get back here!'
Rag joined me, cluthing Pichu, and we sprinted down the slope. I could see Glaceon ahead, freezing more water to make us a safe passage across.
I hit the ice at a run, skidding a few feet before I found my footing and set off.
Lugia and Lawrence were still locked in a furious battle. 'Lawrence! This has to stop! I do not wish to destroy you, but I must protect those under my care. The titans are angry, and these humans and their Pokémon are trying to stop the destruction.'
'As am I, old friend! You can't destroy anything if you are in my collection! Make this easy, stop now!'
'Never! As long as I am able, I shall defend the harmony, and those that wish to save it!'
He turned and saw us. 'Quickly! Get the orb to Slowking! He is waiting for you in the waterfall chamber.'
This made Lawrence notice us, and diamond frames shot from the ships and swooped down on us. Pichu screamed as they closed in, but the frames were blocked by a metal claw from Charmeleon, who had leapt between them and Rag.
Me and Joltik were doing ok for holding one at bay, and Rag was directing Charmeleon in fighting the other, when Glaceon barked a warning.
Team rocket sped towards us, each wearing some sort of jet pack.
'Where do they get all that stuff from?'
'We'll never know.'
They grabbed Glaceon, laughing victoriously, and slammed straight into one of the frames, which shot out tendrils of energy to connect with the other one, catching Rag, Pichu and Charmeleon as the two combined.
'Oi!' Joltik fired a string shot, and we latched on, being jerked up into the air as the spinning diamond took off, carrying us all to the ship.
Reliving all this is rather tiring, I'll have to stop for now, and update again later. Bye for now!
