She couldn’t believe her attack actually worked! As the Pokémon collided with its trainer Daniel saw the key nearly stolen from the commander on the stage. She barely managed to hold onto it, but Daniel had hope that maybe they could get the key back after all. Until the woman received a call on her pokégear. Still acting like they were bugs for her to squash the haughty woman bid them farewell in the middle of the fight. Daniel tried to think of something witty to say in return, but before she could she was blinded by a flash attack. As the light died down the girl thought she had gone blind for a second. In one instant she was looking at the floodlight lit stage, and the next thing she knew everything was pitch black. No...not entirely. Looking up she could still see the silver shine of the moon high in the sky. Giving herself a moment to adjust and rubbing her eyes Daniel slowly began to see more. Somehow the power had gone out at the same time that woman had used flash. When she was finally able to see enough to make out her surrounding Daniel saw that the woman and her grunts were no where in sight.<br/><br/>As her vision adjusted even more Daniel saw that all the other pokédex holders from Professor Pine’s lab were present for the battle. She knew they were destined to stay together, but she hadn’t expected to see the other two so soon. With the adrenaline from the fight starting to wear off as the action had ended Daniel started realizing what she had just done. Graham seemed a bit ticked she’d been so reckless, but all’s well that ends well right? The others seemed to just be impressed with her, and she acknowledged this by grinning at them and striking a pose, flexing her bicep on one arm and putting her other hand on it.<strong>”Just call me a fighting type trainer!”</strong>she boasted. But something was nagging at her thoughts. Carter hit the nail on the head, she had no idea what was up with those Pokémon. Graham’s comment seemed to imply he knew something about them.<strong>”Graham, do you know what was up with those...”</strong>but before she could finish her question Graham seemed to rush off in quite a hurry.<br/><br/>As Nao called out about the Tower Daniel realized he was right. Anyone still in there may need help.<strong>”We’ll help out! Mudkip, try and put those fires out! Come on Ralts, help out that Mine jr. we need to see if anyone’s still inside!”</strong>Running up beside Nao to help out Daniel aided in removing rocks and debris from the entrance. As they made there way inside the building the site they were greeted with was a horrid one. Strewn all about the lobby were people and Pokémon alike, all seriously injured and seemed unconscious.<strong>”Oh my gosh... what did they do here?...”</strong>Who could do such a thing? A groan caught Daniel’s attention, it sounded like it can from the very back. Leaning up against the far back wall, one of the white coated researchers sat clutching something growling tightly to their chest.<strong>”Hey!”</strong>she called out as she rushed over to his side.<strong>”Sir! Can you talk? We’re here to help! What happened here?”</strong>The man opened one eye and winched in pain as he tried to sit up more.<strong>”They... they came out of nowhere... Their pokémon... too powerful... We didn’t stand a ch-chance.”</strong>The man was struggling to get his words out, taking sharp breaths and wincing as he spoke.<strong>”They stole... the other key... we...Must get it back... p-please... keep this one safe...</strong>He slowly extended his arm out to hand the key to the people in front of him. His arm was shaking from the effort, he hardly had any strength left. Hesitantly, Daniel took the glowing object from the researcher. As the key left his hands he smiled slightly. He had protected the key, and now it was in more capable hands. His arm dropped down to his side as he finally lost consciousness.<strong>”Hey... hey mister...”</strong>Daniel tried getting his attention back but the man couldn’t respond. She just remained squatting by his side, not sure what to do? Do they take the key back first? Or go after the other one? She looked to Nao with a look that read ‘what do we do now?’
