LOG 77: Flames against the Flames!

Emma typed at her laptop while petting her Mimi. Though the inspector was there, she was still a chief inspector retaining her duties. She listened to the radio while sorting out all the progress of the officers in a sheet pad online. Unexpectedly, the news interrupted Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5.

"Huh?" Emma turned her eyes to the radio.

"We are here to bring a special announcement. It appears that the Unova Space Telecom had detected an unusual Pokemon in the EntraLink Garden! What started out as as a once apparent hoax turned out to be true, according to Colonel Kanami who, with her team of scientists, researched about it. She admitted it was actually Reshiram, the Pokemon told in lore! The Pokemon was seen flying somewhere at around four in the afternoon by some witnesses and was soon detected by the satellite. Reasons of its rebirth is still unknown, and the culprit is believed to be Team Plasma's leader, N.

This is all we have for now, stay tuned!"

The radio switched back to Brahms as Detective Looker barged in the chief inspector's room.

"The radio! Go to the news!" said Looker in panic.

"I heard it. Reshiram? With Team Plasma everywhere, nothing seems strange to me anymore." Emma looked back to her laptop and continued typing.

"You-- You're just going to sit there?"

"Pretty sure some trainer's gonna show up, whoop the crap out of them, and the day returns to normal."

"Huh?"

"Want examples? There's Red, Ethan, Brendan, Lucas, who's next, Hilbert?" She stretched her limbs. "Or maybe... It could be that I'm lazy because of the weather. It's like... A hundred degrees outside!"

"No, no! Stop idling, we gotta do something about this!"

"K, k, I'll just stretch..." She bumped her head on the cable. "And maybe have a five minute power nap."

"No, get up!" Looker pulled her hand and rushed her out of the room.

Team Plasma's infantry dashed to the scene. Team Plasma was heavily outnumbered, and it appeared they have the upper hand compared to Jenny's.

While Jenny's grunts snatched the net, Vincent, Gustav, and Andrea brought out a small turret from the helicopter. The turret had two main components. Its front consisted the mouth and neck extending to a circular platform. Wires travel, connecting the two components. The next part was a large tube with buttons.

<Vic!>Victini turned invisible but it didn't matter to the grunts. As long as it was inside the net, Victini had no way of tricking them.

The Masked Marauder finally stepped out of the chopper as the Pokemon was inserted inside the tube. It continued to struggle though couldn't be seen. Continuous and perpetual shouts had let to the Pokemon soaring its own throat.

"Stop!" Shouted N, Reshiram's feet touching the grass once in for all.

"Number doesn't constitute the victory," the Masked Marauder said. She pressed the red button. The energy from Victini was harnessed. It punched the glass but had been betrayed by its already feeble arms.

Red and crimson swirled inside the turret. One flick of a lever is all it took for "New Year" to begin.

"I have warned you. Do not let this garden be destroyed for the good of triumph."

"Look who's talking, Julius Caesar?" teased Jenny, pushing the lever down arrogantly.

"You have asked for it, Reshiram..." He turned his hat. "Use Turbo Blaze!"

<Resh!> Reshiram's tail which was filled with lava was all exerted out of its body. It was as if it was a volcano spewing an eruption in a side view direction. The turret was launched as well.

Two flames burning with passionate flare came close and collided. Had it perished both sides? Or only one? The approaching Pokemon International Police that was somewhere near Nimbasa City already saw the mushroom cloud. The impact was extreme that even those who lived Iccirus and Nuvema Town were able to witness it.

Tempests raged the roads of the Unova Region, disabling some of the PIP's helicopter propellers that spun in the opposite it was supposed to face. At the epicenter of the impact, it was only whiteness until they could no longer determine if they were dead or if they were being blinded by the explosion.

The gale had not ended for three minutes. Constant strong gusts flooded the Unova region that it was even felt from our fleet.

Logan and Dawn clung unto the toughest tree they could find in fear of being thrown off as for Jenny who played with power, she suffered a loss she'd never forget.

On the other hand, Team Plasma uttered not a word nor sound.
