Epilogue


Arch crossed the grasslands of the ranch, back to his home, where hopefully Ms. Parite will have a nice dinner waiting for him and his Meloetta, who danced around behind him.

“Arch! Finally you’re home! I was worried, next time tell me when you’re going out!” Ms. Parite cried, slapping Arch.

“What? I did!” Arch said.

“No you didn’t!”

“Did too!”

“Did not!”

“Did too! Remember? The whole gang went to save Meloetta!”

“Liar liar, pants on fi- oh what a beautiful Pokémon!” Ms. Parite exclaimed, and ran over to the Meloetta.

“What is it?” She asked, examining the Pokémon from every corner.

“It’s a Meloetta.”

“A Meloetta! That’s the Pokémon you left to save!” Ms. Parite roared with gusto. “Come in, there’s a lovely dinner waiting for you and you Pokémon!”

Arch sighed. “We really need to do something about your memory Ms. Parite.” Arch laughed.

“Arch! When did you get back home! I’ve been worried out of my mind!” Ms. Parite suddenly yelled.

“Mahgerd…”

“Ayush?” Star called out for what felt like the hundredth time, but to no avail. The entire group bar Arch had returned to the abandoned Firestar Factory, to tell Ayush that Firestar was basically finished, and could leave now. They couldn’t find him anywhere.

“Where is that guy?” KD wondered aloud, and watched Gemini step over to the server, before trying to hack back in to the system, locked after the Rotom controlling the entire place was taken care of.

“This’ll take a minute, y’all…” Gemini murmured, glaring as about 15 anti-hacking programs flashed up on the screen.

“I’ll take a quick look upstairs, guys.” Blaze said, and took off down the corridor.

***

One long hour later, Gemini roared with relief, as the last anti-hacking program was shut down.

“Finally…” KD laughed, and ran up next to him, followed by Star.

“Let’s see here…” Gemini said, and entered Firestar’s log for the entire group. The most recent entry had been added only hours after the group had taken down Darkrai. Gemini read it out:

"Firestar members of Vohnova are to report to the Unova base and be set new tasks by Commander Nick or a high-tier subordinate.
Any Firestar member unaccounted for by Commander Nick will be without pay until they appear again. Commandress Lana is with orders to search out those unaccounted members.
The ‘Vohnova faction has fallen’ rumour is true, its boss Idrarka is apparently deceased, and it’s old boss Helliar is still unaccounted for after his disappearance at the end of their last plan.
The two acting commander’s of their faction, Eclipse and Errius, are in hiding. We will find them eventually and make them pay for ruining our finances with their failed schemes.
Also of concern to this matter, The Vohnova Grand Tournament is commencing in three weeks time. Errius and Eclipse were seen by our Agent’s signing-up to participate. Firestar will be keeping a close eye on the tournament with this knowledge.
Food stock worries at the Orre outpost will be addressed in due time.
Firestar Agent group Delta 107-VI are to head back to the Vohnova region after reporting to the Unova faction and are to await further orders once at the target.
Ranger interest at the Fiore outpost will be addressed in due time.
Firestar Vengeant group Delta 113-VI are to join the Hoenn forces after reporting to-"

Gemini stopped, and quickly read the rest of the long log in his head. “Nothing interesting to read after the first bit, just boring Firestar stuff.”

“What do you think Eclipse and Errius want at the Tournament?” Star wondered.

“I don’t know… But whatever it is… I think we should join the tournament and stop them!” KD declared. “Gemini, you in?”

“Aye. What about you, Star?”

Star wasn’t listening; instead she was looking off down the corridor. “Is it just me or has Blaze been gone for a looooong time?”

***

“Blaze, where are you?” The group called, as they turned the corner of the corridor.

They reached a worn, rusted door, which opened with a click of the panel next to it by Gemini.

In the room that was revealed to the group, a gigantic, inactive cloning machine in the center, a column of buttons and levers next to it, and on a chair next to the column was Blaze, who quickly stood up as the group came in.

“Finally!” Blaze roared. “That door closed and locked and I couldn’t get back out!” The others laughed.

“Did you find Ayush?” Star wondered.

“Course not; I’ve been trapped in here for over an hour.” Blaze growled.

“I guess he left the Factory, then…” Star murmured.

“Yeah that’s terrible can we go now?” Blaze asked, and flew out of the room. “C’mon, before that stupid door closes on me again…” The group nodded, and walked out. Blaze took one last look at the room, before closing the door.

“Anything new by the way?” He asked.

“Aye, Errius and Eclipse are entering some tournament, and I think it’s in our best interests to stop them.” Gemini said, and the others nodded.

“Have you told Arch yet?”

“No, he’s still with Ms. Parite at the Ranch.”

“Guh, I’m so jealous!” Star suddenly roared, and the others jumped at the sudden outburst. “While we’re traipsing around a bludy freezing Factory, he’s probably having some luxurious dinner!”

The others nodded with gusto, angry and annoyed that Arch was having a wonderful time.

***

Ms. Parite grasped up the broom and waved it like a sword, before whacking Arch with it.

“Get out of here, Deranged Chicken!”

“Ms. Parite, I’m not a deranged chicken!” yelled Arch, shielding himself from the blows.

“LIIIIES! ALLLLLLLL LIIIIIES!” Ms. Parite quipped.

“Seriously!” Arch exclaimed, and snatched the broom off her to cease the blows.

“Police! Help! I’m being robbed by a madman! He’s taking my broom! The broom I tell you!” Ms. Parite cried out, as two Policemen who were hanging around outside the Ranch flew into the room.

“Hey, aren’t you the guy who stole that rock from the Tao festival in Unova?” One of them wondered, and looked him up and down.

“Of course it’s him; he’s even still wearing the Reshiram costume!” The other one replied.

“Oh for the love of Arceus…” Arch roared to the high heavens as the police officers placed him in handcuffs.
