HZ044: Difference between revisions

[[Friede]] goes to the island with the suspicious tower to check out what the [[Explorers]] are up too. He finds the tower and sees [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Beheeyem}} circling it, before spotting Spinel himself and his {{p|Umbreon}} going inside. Friede heads back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and shows his findings to the rest of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Seeing the photos, Liko and Roy recognize Spinel as the one who [[HZ016|once]] stole Liko's pendant in [[Levincia]]. Figuring the tower must be what the Explorers must be using to summon the [[Black Rayquaza]], Friede decides to use [[Captain Pikachu]]'s electricity to destroy it, while [[Dot]] says she can put together a shutdown program. Friede's ready to charge in any time, but the ship would be easy to spot, as would be arriving on {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, so he instead has [[Ludlow]] get a boat ready. Liko and Roy offer to come along, and though Friede initially tries to refuse, seeing that determine stares on their faces convinces him otherwise, so he just tells everyone else to wait at the airship.

The group arrives at the island on a boat, Friede telling them not to make a sound. They pass a group of {{p|Combee}}, and a {{p|Vespiquen}} ends up spooking {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, forcing Roy to shush him. Friede urges everyone on, and they all shush Cap when he gives the command. The group eventually arrives at the tower, slowly walking up to the door, which, to Friede's surprise and suspicion, is unlocked. He has Ludlow look after the kids as he enters the tower. He and Cap look around before the door suddenly shuts behind them, trapping them inside to Liko's distress. Friede tells Spinel that the others missed out on his trap. Spinel appears, and Friede remembers his voice from [[HZ014|his assault]] in the Levincia alleyway. The Explorers admin explains that this tower was made to hold Friede, who calls out to the children and tells them this is the wrong place. Ludlow asks the children to stay calm and leave Friede to his battle. Liko takes a breath to calm herself down before going with the group to search for the right tower.

At the {{DL|East Province (Area Two)|Levincia Lighthouse}}, [[Chalce]] uses soundwaves from a speaker to start summoning the Black Rayquaza. Coral has a hard time believing it will work. She also asks where [[Amethio]] is, and Chalce says that it was Spinel's idea that the four of them finish the mission without him. Coral remarks on Spinel hating Amethio being pampered before [[Sidian]] tells her to get back to her post. Spinel reveals to Friede that the device they are using is a resonance generator made for the purpose of recreating the same energy output {{an|Terapagos}} emits when calling to Rayquaza. Friede wonders if they can even beat Rayquaza if they do summon it, and Spinel says that three other admins are already there to subdue it, saying that he is using them to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} it without him needing to do anything. Friede is about to send out his Charizard, but he hesitates as Spinel points out that its flying capabilities would be useless in this confined space. As such, Captain Pikachu offers to fight Umbreon instead, which Spinel scoffs at. Spinel starts by having Umbreon use {{m|Snarl}}. Cap takes the hit and uses {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Thunder Punch}}, which Umbreon blocks with {{m|Reflect}}. Cap uses Double Team again, and Umbreon responds by wiping all the clones out with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Cap meets Umbreon head on with Thunder Punch, but the {{pkmn|category|Moonlight Pokémon}} gets behind him and lands a hit with {{m|Foul Play}}. While Friede wonders what their next move should be, Captain Pikachu points out the crack him hitting the wall caused, giving Friede an idea.
