DEMONS FIGHT
Nich yelled as HyperBeam flew towards the friends, everybody except Leo dodge, he uses MegaPunch! The beam imploded, blinding everyone, as Matt charges behind the soldier and tried IcicleCrash! Nich turns to use PoisonFang! Aspen uses VineWhip to stop him, as Brandi uses Incinerate to block his Toxic! Nich then uses Rage! And flung them away, despite theor attacks! Leo tries Megapunch once more! Nicholas hears him, then spun... and fell!?
The friends stare in surprise... Aspen looks terrified "Is... he? He just fell over...", Matt swallowed "No...". The surviving scientist, uses Psychic on the body... "He... he's dead...". Aspen eyes start to tear up... "We killed him?! We were just...", the scientist walks to her dead friends... "Don't be scared... Not only did you avenge William and Ron: ...my... dear friends... You didn't cause his death: After using that many buffs, he used Rage... His heart couldn't take how tensed up he made his body... We can grow monsterous parts... but we're still just human...", she stood up "I'm Maria, thank you for saving me...". Aspen replies "Y... you're welcome...", Matt tried to assure her "Don't be afraid... She said... we...", Maria interrupts "It doesn't matter... All of plasma's wanted dead or alive by the police force, once they get here... You'll be alright...", Brandi smiles "It's okay... I know you scared now, but it's that freak's fault for killing innocent people! You shouldn't feel bad that he died while trying to kill us... We didn't do it anyway... Seriously he was REALLY strong, right Leo? Leo?". Everyone turns around as Leo stared at the body, he finally says "Guys... I... I... I'm a killer...", Aspen smiles wrily "... don't blame yourself... We didn't...". Leo interrupts "Back in Castelia... When we fought off Plasma from that old man... I... I... used Skydrop on a grunt... But he tried to attack while I was flying over the ocean... so I... used MegaPunch... He fainted in the water, he was... a Ground Type... so he sunk...", Matt freaked "Do... don't wo... ry... He could... of... swam back later!". Brandi adds "Why didn't you get him?", Leo replies "I can't swim... if screwed up... I'd sunk down with him... I... I... couldn't...", she sighs "He sunk fast, but if he was unconcious: his body, should've floated on the water, if he couldn't hold his form. Don't worry about that, you were fighting like us: with the intention to help, right?". Leo agrees by smiling warmly... After the paramedics and police arrived, the friends head off through Chargestone Cave. Aspen looks at the blue lights glowing around them, then says "Hopefully Maria's alright... I'd hate if any of my other friends or you guys got hurt...", Matt smiled "We'll be fine! I... hope we don't actually lynch anyone after this...". Aspen smiles "We'll know when to stop... Right? Leo! He must hold back alot, considering how strong he is heehee...". Everyone notices Leo being strangely quiet... Brandi suddenly says loudly "Leo!", he snaps out of it as she finishes "Stop worrying, you fought to help someone, instead of for something wrong! Even if you indirectly caused it, he died because of Plasma's choice...". Leo smiles "...Alright, thanks... I... can't fight if I'm too afraid of myself...", everyone continues outside, unknowing that Leo was still thinking of Minami's death... The friends arrive in Mistralton City! They see many pilots working near the huge airport, reminiscent of Castelia city's bustling streets and buildings! Leo smiles excitedly "Time to beat the Mistralton gym!", Matt asks "Are you sure? We just got outta a huge fight!", Aspen adds "Besides, I'm kinda tired... We should rest 1st!". Matt explained "That fight wasn't like others: That guy was able to beat all of us! If just 1of us was there, we coulda been killed! Besides isn't there anyone you wanted to see again?". Leo sighs "They're working... ...Plus I didn't get many friends here... only you and...", Matt looks besides Leo "Richard?!", Leo turns too. Richard runs up to them "Hey! Leo, Matthew! Ya'll back again?!", he looks at Aspen and Brandi "And made some "friends", Come on, the family's wanted to see ya guys again!". The friends go to the Move Family's house, Matt charged in and ran to the Reminder Girl! "I'm back! Now I got cards from everywhere! You'll havto give me your rare Fight cards!", she smirks "We'll see Matty!", Leo looks with them as they read some cards ""Dynamic Punch..."The user punches the target with full, concentrated power. It confuses the target if it hits.", ""Bulldoze"The user stomps down on the ground and attacks everything in the area. Hit Pokémon's Speed stat is reduced.",""CottonSpore"The user releases cotton-like spores that cling to the target, harshly reducing its Speed stat.". Richard walks behind Leo, "Leo, your friends told me you been beating the Celestial Gyms!", Leo turns "Yeah! I'm entering the league", Richard leered "So that's why you left after the funeral!", Matt turns a little "Funeral?", Richard continued "I was worried about you 2 since you left, but now that I know you guys fight, I can relax some... Seriously: All the Gym leaders, police and fighters have gave up! I'm glad you guys can defend yall selves!". Leo gave a small smile as Richard then whispered loudly "We coulda used ya here man, there's a younger pilot that's taking advantage of Mrs Jefferson! We tried to tell 'em to go, but everything's he's doing is "legal"! He's been taking her paychecks everytime he visits, we kinda need someone who can fight in case that guy actually can back up his threats...", Mrs Jefferson suddenly comes in "! Leo, Matthew... you're back...", Matt turns "Hi Mrs Jefferson!", she smiles warmly "Hi Mat... And who are these young ladies?". Asp replies "I'm Aspen," the explasma grunt adds "I'm Brandi! Glad to meet you!". Mrs Jefferson answers "Glad to meet you too, I'm sorry to be so direct: but Leo, may I see you for a moment?", Leo mutters as he stood "Shit...". Richard smiles "Maybe she wantsa talk about the funeral...", Matt stands "Wait... I didn't mean to eavesdrop... but you mentioned it twice, what happened?", the pilot replied "Oh... Leo must've forgot to tell ya... From what I heard: Mrs Jefferson called Leo, because Minami didn't come home after school... when he went to look for her, he found her being murdered... They were kinda close...". Aspen looks surprised... as Matt thought aloud "That's why Brother called...", Brandi glares... Meanwhile in Mrs Jefferson's home, she talk to Leo as they sat in her living room "How was your trip...", Leo replies "Alright... I... was able to beat every leader so far...". She stands "I'm sorry, but that was all you cared about, back then??!?" Leo looks up "I'm sorry... I", she suddenly yells "You don't think Leo! I MISS MINAMI TOO, I needed SOMEONE WHO WAS CLOSE TO HELP ME... But you just... left... nobody else CAN understand how I feel...", Leo stares at the floor, covering his eyes with his cap... "I couldn't stay... I could barely come back here! I couldn't even think correctly the entire trip..." , Mrs Jefferson walks to him "I... I know... I couldn't either, right after... it's just... we both looked at you as someone, we could lean on... I could depend on you, because... it was easy to believe in you... like I did Mr Jefferson..." She stood close to him, and lifted his cap... "You were perfect for both of us...", she almost kissed Leo... then pulls back "I'm sorry... I...", Leo looks surprised "Mrs Jefferson... You... I didn't know...". She replied "Hee...hee... we kinda both: I saw you as a father figure to her... but I think... she... ...no, that's wrong... Let's go back...", they walk out by the Airway as his friends came towards them... Matt yells to him "We were coming to see you!", Aspen smiles happily "We wanted to see if you're okay... but...", Brandi giggles "You look fine!", Leo suddenly notices he and Mrs Jefferson were holding hands the way back!? They both let go as Matt then asks "You didn't... did you?", Aspen retorts "No, They look too sad... But...", she's interrupted by another pilot! "Hey... Mrs Jefferson?! Come on, it's time to do the bills...", Richard shouted "Stay away Josep! She doesn't need your "help"!", Matt adds "You're THAT guy?! Stay away, you slimebag!". Josep sneered "This between me and the lady, none of know how to do taxes, or stuff, right!? She needs me! So get the heck outta the way!". Leo looks uneasy... "Who...", Mrs Jefferson explained "He's been helping me with my money... but now... I don't need him...", Leo walks to him "Go away... she can handle it herself...". Josep answered obnoxiously "I said me and her have to work on her taxes, homo! This don't concern any of ya! Leave, or I'll use force!". Leo glares as he spreads Togekiss wings... Josep sprouts Swellow wings, then flew high up! "Ya think you havin wings, scares me?! I'mma Fly Type too!!!", He suddenly uses MagnetBomb! Leo uses ChargeBeam, but it's blocked by the attack! Josep sneered "You can't even fight, faggot!" He uses HyperBeam! Leo glares "I won't play around...", he holds his hand down... Everyone looks terrified as they feel the energy emitting from his hand! Leo looks up at the MagnetBomb and beam coming down at him! "The user looses a blast of aura power from deep within its body at the target. This move is certain to hit." Leo recites, then fires AuraSphere through the Move, the beam and sphere explodes on Josep making him faint! Everyone stared surprised... Then Matt spoke "That was so COOL! Normally, only Fight Types can use it, like the other Type specific Moves! How'd you do that!?". Leo smiles "I'm don't know...", Richard laughed "That should scare the guy, hopefully he doesn't get up thinking to try that shit again on ya...". Aspen then remembers as Richard walks away with Mrs Jefferson... "Oh... Like I was wondering: Leo... You really started this trip because of Minami? You never were going to challenge the league yourself?". Leo explains "I was trained to... but I... never could... and only became a pilot here, but I was stuck feeling like I had to do it... The reason I finally challenged, was only because of Minami: Remember, when we were going by that Striaton preschool, no one else said anything to me, even the 1 child I spoke to, left quickly... but... Minami... She was the closest person to me, she chose to talk to me, to become friends... and be like me... She's the only other person besides Matt, that was truly close... I thought trying the league now, would make me forget... how much it hurts now...".
His friends stared... Matt realized "Sorry... about that... she was nice to everybody, but Minami was really different when around you", Aspen replies "So she was like a sweet Matty?". Brandi answers "That's why you need to keep fighting...", Leo looks up "I will, I'll defeat the league and Plasma! Not for revenge, but to become everything she believes I am!". Everyone watches Leo turns toward the airport "I won't lose, for Minami and everybody else!"
