Kalos Redone

Chapter 20

Ash's POV:

I felt an unseen rage pass through me, but at the same time I stayed calm and collected - something I've never been able to do. The minute I saw mom in that situation my world had changed. I didn't know if it had really changed or it was just from my perspective. I remembered each and every way they assaulted my mom before Lysandre decided to finish her off.

Out of the blue, Infernape and Lucario appeared behind me along with Sceptile and Greninja. Sceptile brought the two of them on track. Being the hothead he is, Infernape immediately charged at the 7 of them and began to throw fireballs at them.
How was he able to bring fire from his hands?

"What?! Idiotic APE!! Get lost!!", Cyrus yelled and grabbed the pistol from Lysandre while all the others grabbed a pistol from their waists.

My other Pokemon rolled their eyes and stood behind Infernape protecting one another. With no other choice, I went and faced them. I was unable to think, adrenaline rushing through my veins.

Serena's POV:

I wanted to yell at Ash, to stop him from going outside but my voice failed me. I had barely known the woman, but she had already become a second mother to me. If I was going through such an emotion, I couldn't fathom Ash's pain.

"You, boy!! Honestly, I thought you'd give me a better challenge in finding you, but thank you. You saved me lots of time and human labour. Just fire!! He's been a massive thorn in our side!!", Lysandre ordered smirking.

Then, they fired their respective bullets. I was about to shriek, but Ash's eyes turned red and Lucario let out a pulse which stopped their bullets a few feet from Ash and his Pokemon.

"Impossible!! An Aura Pulse?", Lysandre questioned in disbelief.

"You know what to do", Ash told Sceptile and Infernape in an emotionless tone. They simply smirked at each other, and Infernape punched the bullets back one by one with massive force such that they hit them back not hard enough to be fatal, but hard enough to draw blood.

"Your turn, Sceptile", Ash told him still emotionless. Sceptile smirked and sharpened his Leaf Blades. He then charged at the wounded leaders who tried to escape. One guy with a blatant expression recovered fast enough to fire at Sceptile who knocked the bullet with his Leaf Blade and this time as enough for the rest of them to follow suit and they began to fire at Sceptile. He began to knock them away at am unimaginable speed and suddenly he began to glow white.

"What's going on?", a guy dressed in a white Team Rocket uniform asked the rest who shrugged ftheir shoulders or were busy watching Sceptile in awe.

Sceptile's tail was now like a small Christmas tree while his jaw and eyes reddened, and his shoulders were protected by leaves which seemed rather hard. His back was lined with yellow and red balls which seemed like a protective measure. His head was no longer in the usual shape and had 2 semicircular slits on each side.

"H..ho..how? Mega Sceptile??", the same guy stuttered.

"Finish them off", Ash told Sceptile and he simply walked towards them smirking and Lysandre threw a grenade at Sceptile who knocked it back with Leaf Blades which appeared protruding from both of his his outer wrists. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a smoke bomb and it was strong enough to hide their movements so that they could escape out into the open forest.

Sceptile was about to chase them but Ash asked him not to do so and he began to walk towards Delia's mangled body. He then sunk to his knees tears flowing openly now.

Delia however, just grinned at him painfully and wiped his tears away.

"Hey, honey!! Don't cry. Both of us knew that this would be a probable end for me", she told him caressing his face. He simply gave her a small smile and nodded.
