38. From light to dark
Bonnie POV
I had an awesome day. I had surprise party, I watched an awesome battle and I became an official pokemon trainer.
But that whole day couldn't erase how scared I was for Celebi. I knew Clemont told me that Celebi would be fine, but something in mind told me otherwise.
So sneak up from my bed and walked back to medical room to check on Celebi, I could say I was going to check on other pokemon, after all, they were resting there. I was in my new clothing, I wanted to try it on me and everything fit inside what I got.
And to my surprise, door were open to it and it alarmed me. I looked inside and saw someone inside and the silhouette looked like a man. And he was just opening Celebi's healing box and my eyes widened.
Flasback
"Clemont I needed to ask you a question." I asked as he was ready for battle.
"What is it Bonnie?"
"Did you somehow changed the security?" I asked as remembered how I couldn't enter to the gym before.
"Oh yeah, I made multiple upgrades to the security and only few people will be allowed to unlock the building. After that, anyone can enter but even inside is higher security, to medical room can enter only special people like trainers owning those pokemon, Clembot or nurse Joy if I will see to it or you. Also when someone use some of those accesses, Clembot and my computer will get notification. I just need a few things and you will have the same authorization as me." Clemont told me with smile, but I could hear a lot pride in his voice and I must say I was also.
Present
I looked at the person standing at Celebi. Someone hacked in here or got another way. I silently went closer to hidden alarm. Just a little closer....
"Bonnie?" the sudden voice made me freeze. It was familiar yet unfamiliar. It was the rougher voice I heard everyday, but now, I heard it witch chilling running down my back. I turned to the person and from the street lights outside, I saw almost Ash's face, but I couldn't see top of his head and something was off with him.
"W-what are you doing here Ash?" I didn't even know, but I was scared.
"I could ask you the same thing. Why aren't you sleeping." he asked and I tried to look at him more.
"I am here to make sure Celebi is fine..." I trailed off as Ash came closer.
"As you can see, Celebi is just fine. Now go, I just needed to do something." Ash said with calm, but I was feeling annoying him, but then my eyes heas fallen on Pikachu. I could see on screen higher sedatives. Ash's eyes followed mine, seeing what I saw and then groaning. "Damn it Bonnie." And then I saw it, his eyes were between his classic brown and bloody red. Before I could react, Ash punched the healing tube of Celebi, breaking the glass and pulling Celebi out and pushing me out of the way.
I smashed the alarm, causing the alarm to go off. I watched as Ash ran through the hall straight for the window. "Ok, you wanna hear it out loud. I would really need a lift!" Ash suddenly yelled and before I could say anything, Ash ran through the window, breaking it. I thought I would have a heath attack, but then some shadow flew down and then lifted Ash and carried him away.
No POV
A young female scientist with brown hair and few blond strands was quietly sleeping, when a sudden alarm from her tablet woke her up. She looked around confused, when the tablet was showing red numbers. Her eyes widened and looked at the special pokeball. It was shaking like wild and steam was coming out of it. Before she could reach it, it opened and the next thing she saw was broken wall next to her, with burned ground marks behind.
Clemont and Serena looked at each other confused about what was happening, but then they noticed that they were only in half of their numbers. Clembot ran to them panicing.
"Sir, Ash came to the pokemon medical room and after a few minutes alarm started. There was also broken window in the same floor. I can't also find Bonnie anywhere si- WAIT I have her." Clembot said and from his eyes came out holograms of CCTV. There was Bonnie, running out from entrance in her new clothing
"What is going on? Clembot make sure everything is on lock down until I return. Find what happened." Clemont said as he quickly picked up coat and started to run, when he noticed Serena following.
"I am coming with you." was the only thing she said and both of them ran out of the gym.
Bonnie ran after the big shadow, she could see glimps of some tapes or tentacles. It started to go down and right into the Lumiose park. She slowed down, looking down into her bag, she had both of her pokemon there, but she still didn't know anything.
"Well I could say it was a good job, but you failed after all didn't you?" a sudden voice, dark voice spoke. Bonnie froze as she watched Ash standing there, with his red-brown eyes looking between both shadow and they finally revealed. One looked like big dark Inkay to her with the two tentacle tapes expanind into more and a few scars over its body. The other one looked was dark shadow with what looked like magic hat out of shadow. It was always changing its shape and I never could see it stay in one moment normally.
"Well it was up to me to get Celebi. OH WAIT, wasn't it your job to make sure Celebi comes out the moment you said?" Ash said pissed, but the shadow one flew between them.
"Both of you calm down, there is no reason to fight now. I finally found out why it happened. Something shook with the entire time stream, probably causing Celebi to come out different time. But that doesn't matter now. We finally have Celebi, now let's focus on what we wanted." the shadow spoke and suddenly a cage fell out from it. "Put Celebi in."
As he slowly was putting her in, when he was about to close the cage, a sudden shock of electricity made him jump away and before he could react, a blond hair ran under him with Celebi in her arms.
"COME BACK BONNIE!" but it made only Bonnie run even faster away. She looked around the streets, looking for any help. But it was in middle of the night, there was nobody to help her. She could hear yelling through telepathy or Ash's yelling.
She looked to her side and noticed an old bar with door like old west, but it was barricaded by wood planks, but one was high enough for her to crawl through with Dedenne following. She looked around, there was almost nothing inside. Only a few broken chairs.
"We need Celebi Ash, don't try us. Mis might not let it see, but he can get as angry as I am now." Bonnie listened how they walked past.
"I know you want to make world better thanks to Celebi, but I can do it also alone if you will call me Ash one more time." Ash, or what Bonnie up until now thought was Ash spoke.
"And how are we suppose to call you?" asked another voice, the one from the shadow.
"Hmm, I don't know. Ash as the ones I was born from sounds kinda good, but I don't want to be call like him. What about-" and then in that moment, the the wooden planks flew to all direction into the bar where Bonnie was hiding and through the door came in those three persons that were following her. "Slash?" he said as he grinned at the Bonnie. "What do you think Bonnie?"
Bonnie looked all frozen at them, thinking about way to get out, but they were blocking it. "I thought you were Ash." Bonnie spoke trying to get some time.
"Ash is part of me, as much as I am part of him. Malamar with Mismagius helped me to finally take over." he said as he looked around closing his eyes. "What an irony, this is where we were mourning him. This was the only time we didn't fight each other and you just found it. Now it brings anger into my emotions."
"W-who were you mourning for?" Bonnie asked confused, but even thought reacted. "Dedenne use thunder shock." Dedenne jumped up, sending electricity at Ash. It hit him in full, but he walked closer to Dedenne, like it never hurt him. When he was close enough, he hit Dedenne, sending it right at Bonnie.
"Nice try Bonnie, but after all, this doesn't effect me and as to your question, that is something you don't need to know. It is only mine and Ash's problem, our changing point I would say. Now give me Celebi or it will end up bad Bonnie and trust me, my patience is running out for some time already." Slash spoke slowly closing in. Bonnie looked down at Celebi and then at the others against her and she clutched Celebi even more. "Bonnie you can't escape, they used special thing on Celebi for it to never travel back in time so it could get away only into future. That is why Celebi was so hurt, so I think you know what they will do if you won't do anything about it and protect Celebi as your own life." Slash added, but Bonnie didn't stop. "Bonnie, just give Celebi to me. They are working with me, but they are not something like you, Ash and others have. It is like, we don't kill each other if we come to each other terms so-" but he was interrupted by more angry voice."
"It is her choice, now let's do-" but the tentacle pokemon couldn't even say it till the end, when a loud stomping disrupted them. "What the hell is it now?!" it turned around, seeing outside huge blue light.
"I-It can't be." this time it was Ash stuttering as he saw only a little, but knew already what it was.
In the meantime
Serena and Clemont ran through streets, trying to follow any hint. They didn't see anything out of ordinary, the only thing with Ash missing. Both of them thought that Bonnie had to follow Ash somewhere, but what happened was for both of them still mystery. Meyer had to be even more confused, but they didn't wait when they left the gym with Meyer still in.
As they followed it, their attention caught the road. Asphalt was melted in some parts or bursted. They looked at it confused and even more when a girl in science coat ran toward them with big suitcase in her hand.
"I am sorry, but didn't you see any big, blue shining pokemon?" she asked out of breath, looking totally scared about her situation.
"No we didn't. Did you by any chance saw a ten years old blond girl?" Clemont asked, but she shook her head, when her eyes widened.
"Wait I know you. You are Clemont right?" she asked and Clemont nodded and then she turned to Serena. "And you, you must be Serena, right?" she asked, her eyes even more widening when Serena nodded. "Arceus, he went after Ash." she said and ran forward, following the track of burned asphalt. They quickly followed only because they had feeling it could have help them to find Bonnie.
"You know her Clemont?" Serena asked as they ran.
"No I don't, I have no-"
BUUUUM
The sudden huge explosion made them turned their heads and they saw how a huge smoke was coming out from behind one of the corners of the streets. The young female scientist looked at it with eyes of horror and ran forward faster. Both Serena and Clemont followed. They both arrived at a terrible scene.
Multiple bulding were covered from smoke dust and between them was the once building, that was now only a huge ruins on fire. The buildings next to it had their windows broken from the shockwave.
Suddenly, from the debris flew out a pokemon with tentacles, it slashed around, those big smoke clouds connected and when it was slowly disappearing, the pokemon was gone. All the three pairs of eyes went back to the exploded building. And then the sudden movements made them widen eyes, more when the new light was coming out from it.
The stones fell of and from, they saw huge pokemon with blue flames coming out from its body. It was curled up like it would sleep in ball, but it was very awake. It had big head with two blue eyes and one big snout. Under it, there was big mouth with large tusks from its lower jaw. They were long that they were ending in same high as its eyes. It had huge body, black wild fur covered it and blue flames embracing the body and ending on the end of the body. It's arms and legs were almost the same size, only legs were shorter, but also more muscular. It had big claws, that were sharp enough to claw through steel.
Pokemon's eyes were looking through the incoming people, letting out steam from its snout. They all looked at the pokemon, it wasn't moving, but when Clemont tried to come closer, it let out growl.
"Emboar, please calm down now." Serena and Clemont turned to the girl only to see her in yellow suit. "I need you to calm down, nice and easy. Ok?" she said and slowly came closer.
"Emboar?" Serena asked confused, but the girl ignored their confusion.
"Take it easy. Did you hurt yourself? You were inside huge explosion. Let me look at you." she said as she was close enough to touch the pokemon, but didn't reach with her hand. They both looked at each other, ignoring the world around them. Ignoring the another person that came with another fire pokemon. They looked at each others eyes, saying no words.
After what seemed like hours, the pokemon finally moved, but not to stand up, but to uncurl. The young scientist looked down, her eyes widening and gasping. Serena quickly came closer, but the blue flaming pokemon moved again, throwing away all the debris and looking right at Serena. Clemont and even the hero of Lumiose city Blaziken mask froze at the sudden reaction of the pokemon, but for some reason, Serena didn't. She looked in its eyes and she found something. She saw it already before in other eyes of another person.
She looked at the pokemon, loosing in its eyes. Now she finally saw it more properly and saw that its eyes were always changing its colors to all shades of blue. She saw everything in it. She could see rage in them, but also found something beautiful.
The moment she was loosing in them, the pokemon finally moved aside, looking behind. Serena finally broke from the trance and looked where the girl was. She took down her helmet and Serena looked there more and noticed a body there. Her eyes widened.
"ASH!" she yelled and crouched down to him, looking at him. His clothing was partly burned and there was small bleeding from his head. Both girls looked at him for anything more, ignoring the huge pokemon standing over them, taking whiffs of anything.
Clemont looked at them, but his eyes then caught something next to them. He slowly walked around them, trying not to get the attention of the huge pokemon before kneeling down and his eyes widened in horror. There was burned body, but what even more made him tremble was the the thing next to it. The small yellow round handbag. The straps were torn and slowly burning and the handbag was dirty from ashes.
"No,nonononono. NO! NO! T-this, no. This c-cou-couldn, this can't be." and his eyes then caught the glowing ashes flying into sky, his eyes letting tears down and letting his loudest roar he ever did. "BONNIE!!!!!!!!"
