บท 120: Kai vs 3 Legendary Pokemon! (II)
Kai was thrown off, his dark, rotten chest, bursting apart with a tearing noise.
But even the notification of low HP couldn't come into existence faster than the HP boost given to him by 3 HP capsules, given to him by Red Sun, a 9th Floor Contestant. All tears, ruptures, and cracks within him vanished.
It was then that young Latias' tackle struck him in the chest.
Boom!!
Again Kai sucked deep, snatching her happiness. But this time, the aftereffects of the 3 HP capsules were enough to prevent any injury.
Both Eon Pokemon shook their heads, as despair clutched at their throats. Behind them, the adult Latias kept crying in pain. It seemed to have angered the young Latios, and his eyes shone blue, matching the colored stripes on his body.
Kai felt a powerful wave of spiritual current coming for him.
He had been attacked with the same move before, he suddenly remembered. The owl-type Pokemon, Hoothoot, had used Confusion on him, as he found out later through Meg. But this Confusion was of a higher degree and could inflict serious damage to his mind.
If Kai had not devoured Golduck's Blood Essence, he wouldn't have survived this attack unscathed.
The Dementor's filthiness vanished off him as his skin turned blue, a red gem appearing on his forehead. His tail thrashed like a whip behind him and his slitted eyes narrowed, a grin flashing across his face.
The Blood Demon was ready to face the Eon Pokemon!
Kai's eyes let out a red glow as he used Telekinesis and Telepathy to influence the Spiritual waves around him. A massive headache welled up inside his head as blood streamed out of his nose. But the move, Confusion, failed to approach him.
Kai couldn't let go of this chance.
The young Latias was nearest to him. He glided towards her, but the moment she saw him coming for her, the Pokemon turned invisible and flew away. Kai snapped his head at the young Latios, but couldn't find him. The male Pokemon too seemed to have turned invisible.
Kai was the last person who would have worried about their invisibility.
The moment invisible Latios came to attack him with his powerful wings from an unknown direction, an image manifested itself in his mind, following an instinct.
A fountain of blood spurted out from his shoulder as Kai sucked more happiness out of Latios.
The young legendary Pokemon didn't seem to have a better hold on their emotions, unlike the adult Latias. Kai's second attempt at stealing the Happiness and Hope out of young Latios made it come out of its invisibility. It struggled to keep itself in the air, as despair made it tremble, sending it into a world of darkness.
The young Latias appeared by its side, coming out of her invisible state.
She cooed at her brother, concernedly, and then they both turned their heads to look at Kai. Their mouths opened, and Kai felt Mana from all around him and from beyond the limits he could perceive, rushing at the tip of their mouths, condensing into some kind of ball.
Dragon Pulse!
Kai guessed the move, his heart thumping, and yet, the smile was still on his face.
-/Haha!/- He sneered, his breath rattling, but his words were directed at the adult Latias lying on the ground. -/I have all the time. One by one, I will capture you both./-
Kai was a hideous manipulator, to begin with.
He knew he couldn't keep fighting the young Eon Pokemon if they decided to go all out. So, he purposely let the adult Latias hear his words, feigning confidence. The only thing that remained now was to let Pokemon's motherly nature kick in. For that, he needed her to speak.
Following this scornful laugh and comment, Kai hissed, -Selene, slow down for a second.-
The moment Selene's Soul Chill dropped in intensity, the adult Latias lifted her head, and bellowed at the two young Pokemon, cooing at them, and looking at the unconscious Bianca. The young Pokemon cried back at her in defiance, but the adult Latias' voice seemed to have more power over them.
Well, well, well, Kai amusingly thought, clutching his head. I knew I could replicate this scene from the movie.
In the events of the movie, which happened a year ago, the members of Team Rocket had also injured Latios (-now dead-). Later, the captured and injured Latios had convinced his sister, Latias, to abandon him and get help from Ash and his friends.
Kai used the same tactic.
To run the DMA (-machine at the museum-) he needed both Soul Dew and one of the Eon Pokemon. But Kai had plans beyond that. For those plans to work, he needed the two young legendary Pokemon to escape from the Secret Garden.
-Selene, attack her at full output once again, and then drop it to 50%,- Kai hissed.
The adult Latias let out an ear-deafening cry, and then slumped down, struggling to breathe. The two young Pokemon trembled, and forgetting about Kai, rushed for Bianca. Kai heard their cries as if they were gritting their teeth in anger, and then saw them taking away Bianca through a portal opened in mid-air.
Kai sneered but didn't drop his guard.
He waited, hovering above the ground. But no one came from the massive entrance of the Secret Garden. That entrance was connected to the hidden door into the warehouse that Kai had visited before.
Meg has done it, Kai concluded, smiling.
One reason for him commanding her to attack the museum was to make the enemy concentrate their defenses around the DMA, leaving the warehouse to the web of hair. Finally, Kai canceled the Golduck's transformation. The HP capsules had healed his injuries, but like his tiredness, they couldn't affect his headache, either.
Kai laughed, pushing himself to his feet.
He approached the adult Latias, who was suffering from constant pain, her soul freezing and unfreezing continuously.
Selene is giving it her all, Kai noted. -Keep varying the Soul Chill's output between 20% and 80%,- he hissed, commanding Selene. -We don't want her getting used to this feeling, do we? When you feel she is becoming immune to the freezing, hit her with a Soul Chill at 100%.-
Selene said nothing, but Kai knew she had heard him.
Only then did Kai give his attention to the Soul Dew in his hand and the notification in front of his eyes.

Kai could instinctively tell that the increase in the Proficiencies of his Telepathy and Telekinesis was because he had withstood the young Latios' move, Confusion.
He looked down at the adult Latias, and grinned, putting his foot on her head. -/Would you like to visit the museum now, my lady?/- he asked her, cackling evilly.
His cackle was a mixed broken laugh, overflowing with hisses.
Phase 2 of the Plan - …
