EPISODE 74: Like the Wind!*

We were flying in the speed of a bullet train and yet I still forced her to increase her velocity. They could hurt anyone but not the twins, they're too young and I was given half of the responsibility to look after them in the first place.

"Come on, Salamence! This is no time to be tired, faster!" she was like a horse to me as I was like a horseback rider to her.

<Sal!>Salamence forced her stamina to go beyond her own limit as I heard a call from behind. "Luna! Luna! Wait up!"

"Zinnia?! I told you to tell them!"

"I called them, I'm coming with you."

"Wh-"

"You can't beat them alone, let me come." Zinnia encouraged. The palm of her left hand was placed on mine.

"Right. I expect you've battled them before."

"Yup. They're nasty."

"Finally, something we could agree on." from those words, both of our Salamence went to hyper-speed mode, well not literally. I know not of where the rest are but I can only assume, we're ahead of them.

Upon our arrival at Snowpoint City came the most intense thing we've seen. Our headquarters was literally raided by Team Galactic since our doors were knocked down and the front of our headquarters was literally filled with scratches aplenty.

Me and Zinnia made a debut and entered the facility, only to see our places filled with an abundant amount of Team Galactic agents acting like dogs and literally wrecking everything they see in sight. Meanwhile, I saw Faith, Grace, Oliver, and Copper. All four of them were pinned to the ground. Their legs were strapped with iron rings.

"Look who has arrived to bargain with us. Good." Commander Rose made an appearance. She was holding the cage in which Uxie was resting in.

"I'm sorry, I had to tell them the location," Grace uttered, feeling guilty all of a sudden.

"This isn't your fault, Grace. Let them go right now!" I comforted her fear.

"And why would I? After all the agents you've slaughtered in our side, you have the guts to ask for mercy? Hehe, I won't. In fact, I'll take them as our prisoners." Mars laughed while playing with Uxie's tail from the cage.

"Do what she says!" Zinnia demanded.

"I won't! Master Cyrus is in need of this Pokemon and now that we have all, his dreams will become a reality. You've sealed the faith of two of our commanders and I'll seal yours! Electivire, you're up!"

"Mawile, I choose you!"

The battle began, the fight for both the sake of our members and the Lake Guardian they've stolen from us.

"Electivire, use Thunder Punch!"

"Mawile, dodge!"

<Maw!>Mawile swiftly dodged the attack. Meanwhile, behind her were her grunts who were watching the match as well.

"Now use, Ice Beam!"

<Maw!>Mawile followed and submitted the attack. She went all win and luckily it was able to hit the foe as the attack froze its arms.

"That won't do a thing, Thunder Punch!" and yet, Electivire persistently attacked as it shattered the ice by punching Mawile on her jaws with the attack. Mawile blasted back to the wall. Electric types do well against steal.

Then it targeted me, zapping me with a powerful Zap Cannon in which I was nearly saved by Zinnia but she failed. I fell under an unconscious state as Electivire walked closer to me. There, Mawile was blocking my body from the beast that walked. She was imploring not to hit me.

<Elec!>Electivire pinched Mawile's jaw and tossed her to the sky. It then grabbed my body and did the same to me.

"Dragon Pulse!" Zinnia took charge and with her Salamence, they were able to blow a mighty attack.

"That would teach her a lesson. Never meddle with us again, Team Rocket! Ha! Ha!" Mars sent back her Pokemon as with her grunts, they blew up our roof and exited through ropes that were connected to the helicopters above us. They spared our team but not the Pokemon. Now they have the upper advantage over us, claiming all three Lake Guardians.

Zinnia had the opportunity to steal back Uxie by cutting Mars's rope but she hesitated and chose to aid me instead. I couldn't feel nor hear anything and probably once I wake up, that's when the pain will resonate around my body. That Electivire tossed me hard.
