Luna's POV 💫

"What in the world is going on?!" I heard Captain Zisu say, when I spotted her and the other security corp members showing up before witnessing the fight between my brother and the Zoroark.

In response, I stepped out of my hiding spot and went to her, explaining what happened along with what we were trying to do earlier.

"So, that's what's been happening...Among all the chaos that's occurred so far, it's a good thing you didn't get hurt, Luna." Zisu says as she smiled at me gently while she picked me up and held me in her arms.

I nodded in agreement to that before looking at the other security corp members.

"But, there's one question that's stuck in my head...How are we supposed to know which one is Yin's Zoroark, and which one is the wild Zoroark?" I heard a member, named Miki, ask.

"We already know that both genders, male and female, of Zoroarks look the exact same, just like a Zorua, Lucario and a Riolu do."

"I know which one's my brother, because he doesn't kill. Plus, he acts a bit more like a human, than a wild pokémon." I answered through gestures.

"Good to know. But, we should steer clear and keep our distance, so none of us gets involved in the fight. It'll make things worse if we did." The pearl clan warden of Sneasler, Ingo, says as he somehow came to see what was going on.

Right at that moment, we all suddenly heard a bloodcurdling scream from the wild Zoroark, that was scary enough to send chills down our spines and make us remember it constantly longer than a month.

At the same time, the wild Zoroark somehow managed to pin Nightmare down on the ground, as it lost it, and was sucker punching him in the face.

It even lashed out at the side of Nightmare's neck and shoulder, by biting him pretty hard with its teeth, making him let out a gasp and a loud pained scream, before kicking the other off of him again.

"Holy shit..." was all one of the security corp members could say.

For a moment, when I looked over at Ingo, he had his gaze over at my brother and the wild Zoroark, seemingly to be observing the situation for a bit.

"Hm...I do believe the wild Zoroark's in a frenzy, now that I got a good look at it." He mentions as he looked at Zisu.

"What makes you say that?" She asked.

"No ordinary wild pokémon would act like this when battling the trainers' pokémon." He answered.

"The wild Zoroark's frenzy is similar to the situation when Ursaluna was in a frenzy. Only this situation's more violent than Ursaluna's.

And even though it's not a noble pokémon, this also most likely means we'll need to make balms of its favorite food in order to quell it."

"Oh yeah! I've completely forgotten all about that, since I heard Professor Laventon mention it one time!" Zisu replies as she rested a hand on her forehead.

"But, who would have enough courage to not only throw the balms and is quick in dodging the wild Zoroark's attacks but willing to battle it?

Yin's missing and nowhere to be seen. Plus, I don't think I'd want to put any of my members in extreme danger, let alone, getting killed."

"Maybe I can help?" I piped up, responding through gestures again. "I know you and my brother want to keep me safe, but, I've paid real close attention to the way Yin does things when she was quelling Palkia. So, I know how to dodge and do stuff like that."

"Yeah, but, you're a Zorua. The wild Zoroark would tear you to shreds if you got close. Plus, how would you be able to pick the balms up and throw them from a safe distance?" Zisu mentions.

That's when I jumped out of her arms and created a illusion on myself, obviously going as Yin, since my memory is still solidly crystal clear on remembering what Yin looks like.

She wasn't hard to forget.

"Does this answer your question?" I asked as I turned to look at her, actually using my voice this time.

In response, she nodded.

"Alright. I got two things to say before we make the balms. Be careful and if anything happens to you, we'll get you out of there and let you recover before trying again." Zisu says as she looked at me.

"Okay." I replied as I nodded in understanding.

Then we started to make the balms that would last enough to quell the wild Zoroark completely.

- - -

"Balms are made and we're ready whenever you are..." Zisu says as she looked at me.

In response, I nodded my head in understanding.

As for my brother, we managed to get him away from the wild Zoroark by using Smoke bombs, Stealth sprays, and some berries as a distraction to buy us enough time in getting him to safety earlier.

At the same time, he was badly wounded enough to where he couldn't move, while I was really worried, hoping that he didn't get killed.

After I made sure I was ready, I looked over at Zisu and gave her the word before she gave me a bunch of balms.

"Good luck, Luna!" She says as I took them and started to walk away.

In response, I gave her a thumbs up before I continued.

As I approached the wild Zoroark, it turned over to look before making a hissing like sound at me.

"I don't think Zoroarks are able or supposed to hiss at others." I thought to myself as I sweat dropped a little.

Then I just stood there as the Zoroark got up and started approaching me, the look in it's eyes showing the intention in attacking and tearing me apart.

Almost the same intimidating gaze an Arcanine would give, when approaching you.

For a few seconds, we stood there in silence before the Zoroark made another bloodcurdling cry that'd scare us to death.

Then it started to attack me first, in which I was ready for, as I easily dodged and threw a balm at the same time, successfully hitting it.

For a while, this continued on until the wild Zoroark suddenly changed tactics in attacking me and stuck with the new tactics.

Even though it became more dangerous than earlier, I still kept on dodging and throwing balms at it, in hopes that the Zoroark will be quelled.

Once I was completely sure that I've quelled the wild Zoroark enough, I threw one more balm at it, before waiting and seeing what would happen next.

As soon as the balm I threw, collided with the Zoroark, it suddenly stopped moving for a moment, showing indication of it being dizzy.

The only thing we could do is watch and see if it'll snap out of its frenzy and return back to its normal behavior.

???? POV

-Earlier-

"Wait...This is Prelude Beach." I said to myself as I floated, after I was sent here somehow, until I suddenly heard a bloodcurdling Zoroark-like scream that sent powerful chills down my spine but also made me cover my ears immediately.

"What in the hell was that?!" I went as I flew over to investigate where I heard the scream, sounding like it came from the area either where the practice field is or the part of the beach where I fell out of the sky, before waking up, meeting both the starter pokémon and Professor Laventon at the same time.

By the time I found the source of the Zoroark-like scream, I was shocked.

One of them was severely hurt and unconscious, while the other Zoroark was going completely berserk.

Looking over at the berserk Zoroark, I immediately went over to it, after noticing some recognizable features that indicates it has full control over my body.

Then it was suddenly hit with a balm after it was thrown, when I looked over and spotted who threw it and what direction it came from.

"Now's your chance! Hurry and take full possession over your body before it regains control over it!" The voice, I heard before, echoed in my head again.

Without hesitating, I got closer to the berserk Zoroark before I started trying to reclaim possession and control over my body.

As I was doing that, I could easily sense it trying to force me back out and regain control, but I kept pushing, no matter how hard it tried to resist me.

This feeling was about the same as someone trying to keep me trapped inside my own bedroom or preventing me from entering into their own bedroom, by keeping the door barricaded shut.

Or a tug of war battle.

"I won't let you have control over my body! Go back where you came from!" I said as I kept trying.

"No...I won't let you!" The Zoroark, that took full control of my body, growled in response.

Luna's POV 💫

As we waited, the Zoroark suddenly snapped out of it from the dizziness, before it clutched its head tightly, just to where you can see a little bit of blood.

"GET OUT!" It suddenly screamed, not a single one of us expecting it to actually talk like a normal human, while the Zoroark's voice also happened to turn out to be a female's. "GET OUT!! GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!"

"What in the - ?" I thought to myself as me and the others just stood there, not sure how to process the scene that was currently happening in front of our eyes.

At the same time, the female Zoroark's voice sounded odd.

Like a human and Zoroark were talking to each other at the same time, in unison, saying the exact same words.

Trying to find a way to put a stop to this, I suddenly thought up of something before I left and went to Yin's item storage, grabbing some oran berries, medicinal leeks and some unused small bottles that were meant for the healing potion making.

Taking out Yin's craft kit next, I made the potion only there was one more ingredient I need to finish it.

And this one isn't in the recipe.

After a few seconds of quick searching, I asked a pokémon for a sample of its sleeping powder, which it was willing to do so, sensing the urgency in my voice.

Once I had a unused bottle full of it, I thanked the pokémon and left, before I poured in half the bottle full of sleeping powder in the healing potion and mixed it up, until it was completely dissolved.

Even though I'm sure that's not really how you make this, it was worth a shot in trying.

Then I ran back to Prelude Beach, before telling Zisu my idea.

"Are you sure this might actually work too?" She asked.

I nodded.

"A 50-50 gamble, but, it's worth a shot." I replied.

"Alright, let's give it a go." Zisu says next before stepping aside.

Approaching the female Zoroark again, I stood there for a few seconds, seeing that she was still trying to resist something or someone from controlling her, before I got myself ready.

Just for extra precaution, I already added some in the balms as well, in case my first idea fails.

With the new potion I made, in my hand, I threw it at the Zoroark, directly hitting her by the forehead and in attempt to make her stop.

Few seconds went by as she just stood there, before she collapsed and passed out on the ground, from the sleepiness that quickly started to overwhelm her.

Seeing that happen gave me the message that she not only accidentally swallowed some of the potion but my idea was also a success.
