Chapter 15

Chaos. That's the only thing I could see around me.

Caleb wasn't prepared by this chaos that suddenly occured. His hands were on the ground, his head bleeding because of the debris caused by the explosions.

He was in a daze, ears ringing, vision blurry and mind dizzy from the event that just transpired.

When Caleb recovered a bit of clarity in him, he lifted his head in confusion.

This action he regret, dread filled his eyes. As his vision was presented with a scene that he would never ever forget his entire life.

People were screaming in agony and anguish. Some were hugging their pokemon's body that were lifelessly laying and vice-versa. A few bodies were sprawled on the ground like worthless trashes, dead. Pokemons and humans weren't spared from the bombing, it didn't choose it's victims after all.

Fire and smokes were everywhere, it was literal mayhem.

Caleb's breathing began to quicken but he acted fast and smart. He reached out towards his bag to look for his phone, he then tried to dialed the emergency dial but it didn't reach. He tried several times and it didn't work, he even tried to contact his parents and relatives, but it was futile as the signal was somehow blocked by something.

"Fuck!"

Caleb cursed, then he realized when he heared low groaning near him.

Looking around he saw his Magby laying beside him, it seems like he was unscathed like him, but had a few minor scratches here and there on it's body.

His friends were alright as do their Pokemons, he thanked Arceus. Although they seemed to still reel in the shock from what just occured.

"Guys!"

Caleb called out to them once. But they didn't react, he understood since his ears still rung from the loud explosions earlier.

He called for them several times until he got their attention by slapping Eusine on the cheek.

He couldn't slap the girls now could he?

"Let's get out of here fast, let's help anyone that we come across our way that needed it." Caleb said while clutching his arm.

All of them nodded obediently, Diantha and the others were to shock to react and they just followed what their instinct told them to do.

"Let's go! Call your pokemons."

After they hastily walked around to find an exit with great difficulty because of the destroyed infrastructure around the area, the others then regained their composure.

"Magby use Fire Punch on that tree that's blocking our way, don't use too much fire focus more on force." Caleb instructed.

"Magby."

With a loud thump, the tree trunk that was blazing and blocking their way was destroyed to tiny piece in it's midsection.

"What happened, why did this happened." Eclairisse began to mumble to herself as she dazely saw the scene around her.

"I think it is a terrorist attack." Caleb was thinking all the while what was the cause of this to happen, and this was the though that was most likely. With his memories and knowledge it was a possibility.

"What!?" The three exclaimed.

Diantha said. "Thinking about it, even if there was a failure or gas leakage that resulted in explosion this wouldn't have been so large-scaled. I think you are right, Caleb."

"Then, does that mean this was done on purpose." Eclairisse covered her mouth in disbelief.

The innocent mind are always the most fragile, Caleb understood this so he refrain himself from answering her. The things happening right now are more than enough of an answer. Besides, he isn't sure of his claim.

At that moment people wearing uniform black and white clothes jumped down from the skies on the back of flying Pokemons. They reached out of their belts, and began to call out the pokemons that were contained inside.

Scrafty, Gliscor and Drapion were the majority. A few were their pre-evolution.

When they were released they elevated the chaos that was already big by destroying and fighting the pokemons that were protecting their trainers.

"Shit! Let's hide."

Caleb immediately dragged his friends and their Pokemons to a small forest on the park.

"What should we do Caleb." Diantha asked nervously.

Caleb looked behind him only to see his friends were looking at him with glances like hope in their eyes, they were just kinds and seeing Caleb act so maturely they began to unconsciously rely on him.

Caleb wasn't bothered by this, and he didn't care he just focused on the current situation they are now. 'Think Caleb, think.'

When Eusine was about to speak up after seeing Caleb so silent, he opened his eyes.

"The signal in the area is disrupted, so our gadget for contact the outside is restricted. Let's help out the people without getting ourselves in danger. Eclairisse and I would be a pair, Diantha and Eusine you guys are also in a pair. I think that when we have enough numbers on our sidez we can stall for time, it is much better than hiding and not helping the civilians and trainers that could help us get out of here, together I think we could hold out until help arrive which would at least take a few dozen minutes considering how boldly those guys attacked this place, they should have a plan and we preparing in it is our best course of action right now."

Caleb seriously told them of his plan.

Although they were panicky and nervous they still complied to what Caleb said.

They nodded their head.

"We'll meet back here after five minutes, okay? If you see those people with balck and white outfit in you field of vision immediately come back here and don't get spotted."
