บท 503: LOG 62: Mistralton Crisis
The clock turned seven. It appeared that my time in headquarters has reached a breakdown of boring events. Aside from watching the third assessment, which I did, there was nothing much I could do. The results were in. Zeal was unable to reach the end, thus, she failed, and the four of us remain Elite Operatives. Being a master agent can probably wait.
As of now, I've decided to travel to Mistralton City for my second day. It lies directly north of Chargestone Cave, and is geographically positioned between three mountain ranges. North of Mistralton City is the Celestial Tower, a prominent place of burial and mourning for deceased Pokémon in Unova, which I've already been in. The city is famous for its airport which imports and exports cargo around the Unova region and beyond. The city is home to Skyla, a pilot who is said to be the Mistralton City Gym Leader.
As with most of the western side of Unova, Mistralton City has a cool climate and is subject to rain during the spring, summer, and autumn. Sometimes during winter, it snows and hails.
I took the same route, chargestone cave. It was the simplest and shortest way to the city. I was unable to encounter Bianca nor the so-called Shadow Triad. Perhaps they finally finished their affairs in that place.
Mistralton was live today, strewn with windblown leaves. I used my Salamence to take an aerial view of the city. It was magnificent. Though the wind's drag was powerful, the cityscape offers a lot more. Tall buildings, scrapers, and something interesting, an airport by the west portion. The airport was larger than what Team Rocket's has, well, it's government provided, so that explains why, and if one thinks it's only for arrival and departure, I guess they're wrong. There was a Pokemon battle being held between Skyla and another trainer who had a Samurott. He looked like red, but isn't by his spiky hair. Something tells me he's a powerful trainer. Beside him, supporting his back was Bianca and another male looking like a teacher who wore a white polo and red tie. Around those two were multiple audiences.
Skyla has blue eyes and dark-red hair, with a light accessory resembling a propellor and a bun. Her outfit consists of a long-sleeved light blue crop top, bulky dark blue gloves, light blue short-shorts, dark blue boots, a dark blue holster attached on her right thigh, and dark blue straps with white buckles that wrap around her stomach and hips.
I descended down to watch with the other trainers. I had to squeeze my way through only to make my way in the battlefield which was literally where airplanes take off. The cheers of the crowd were loud. They somehow knew the trainer, hinting he could be famous.
"Swanna, fly and use Wing Attack!" commanded Skyla.
<Swa! Swa!>
The trainer was excellent to counter with Hydro Pump to disable the wind from getting through. Air is no match against water.
I was convulsed to a sudden jolt once I felt a touch behind my shoulder. It was Bianca who luckily caught sight of me.
"Ah! Luna, I never knew you were here. You should've told me! I could've in—" she tripped. "I'm fine! Anyway. You must be wondering who that is!"
"Hmm, a bit."
"He's Hilbert. Me, him, and our other friend Cheren travel together."
"Hilbert? I see. And you travel with Logan too?"
"Oh, Logan? No, he's our rival. Hilbert won against him twice as did he lose. They're kinda balanced if you were to ask me, so I guess that makes the Pokemon League the decider of who's better? Oh! Oh! You should also meet his sister. She's powerful too. Her name's Hilda, but I don't know where she's at right now."
"About, Logan? Is he still here?"
"Logan? Hmm… Last time I saw him was when he defeated Skyla. He had a breezy time actually. I think he said something about checking out some museum about Victini."
"Victini?"
"Ye know? The cute little bunny that flies around. Never heard of it?"
"No."
"Well! At the museum you'll find out. It looks like a bunny with fangs and this v shaped thingies on its forehead. I'm having a hard time to explain, but you get it, right?"
"A flying bunny?"
"And an invisible one too!"
"Er… I think I'll pass with the myths and legends for now. I'm on a vacation, well technically suspended, and I'd like to keep away from books or reading for once."
"Ah! You're like Hilbert. Or does every trainer competing in the Pokemon League hate reading? I don't know."
A large explosion rattled our ears. It disrupted the gym challenge as everyone turned their eyes to the fire up ahead.
A sergeant came to alert Skyla. "The museum! It was attacked!"
"Attacked?!" Skyla was appalled. "I guess we'll have to halt this match for a moment. Swanna! Take me there!"
"I'll check what's going on. Salamence, come on." I said to Bianca.
"We'll take the longer route."
The fire could be seen from above, destroying everything in its path. Pillars were torn down, roofs crumble, and walls collapse. The firemen haven't arrived yet, only officers escorting the trapped victims outside. Bianca said Logan was here, and by the way things seem, he was nowhere to be found outside.
A high-level emergency? Of course, Emma would be alerted, and sooner or later, I'll be seeing her.
Above me, sounds of propellers interrupted as I could feel my hair flying backwards. Salamence tried to keep up with the air pressure. I saw a helicopter zooming further from us. They wore motorcycle helmets, so it was obvious it was Jenny's orders responsible for all of these. She has become an absolute bastard and pronounced herself, terrorist. As someone who knows Jenny, and is getting annoyed by her by all means, I'm sure she did this to claim something to blow up both Team Rocket and Team Plasma.
"I told you to go to Hoenn, and this is what you do next?" I said to myself.
On the dangling ropes of the helicopter was Logan, bruised and wounded, but with all remaining effort tried to reach out to the troops.
"What is he up to now?"
"Give them back! They're not yours!" He shouted.
The doors of the helicopter opened. "Victini will be ours," said one of the troops, trying to kick off his hands.
"All that for a cute bunny?"
Vincent, one of Jenny's executive, made an appearance. He sneered and said, "Insolent boy. Your efforts are strong but used in the wrong manner. Grab him and tie him in!"
"Salamence, hurry! We can't let them have Logan."
<Sal!> Salamence strengthened her speed and zoomed forth. If I use hurricane or any move other than flamethrower, which has a high of missing, I might end up hurting myself.
Logan struggled from the hands of the troops who placed him inside the helicopter. Vincent soon noticed me flying towards him, and all he did was to give me a smirk. He knew me, I knew him, he knows I'm the one who wrecked his organization before, I'm the one who killed his leaders, and now he's fooling with Jenny's mind to get revenge.
He shut the doors when I was a meter away from him and ordered the pilots to go to full speed.
"Logan!" I shouted to let him figure I was there. I wouldn't leave him astray and my worse fear was he'd be masked into one of them. If he were, death would be his only option once removed.
I didn't hear him saying anything back, but I heard struggles happening inside.
"Just wait a while," I said softly, shooting their helicopter with a tracker. "I'm coming!"
I accessed my Rotom Phone and went to the GPS. It was working, I could see the direction in which the helicopter is headed to. This would give me great advantage to follow them.
"Come on Salamence, not a moment to lose."
