Vol. 2 Chapter 56: Knock Them Dead!
The attack collided with the Arcanine's face, knocking it out. It fell to the ground and was covered in a thick layer of ice, and the blizzard faded, revealing Grusha, floating down in a flurry.
"You did amazing, Grusha! That was such a great entrance, and it looked so awesome on camera," Iono said, and Grusha blushed.
"It's not over yet. That Usaring is still up, and it's really mad," Grusha replied, and pointed, and we both looked to see the large green bear roaring.
"Hey, hey, hey! I was the star of the show, not you! You're stealing my thunder!" Iono said , and then turned to face the enraged Pokémon, but then looked back at me. "Return Grusha, and then all of your Pokémon, and then move back. This is the first time I am going to try and use this ability, and I don't know how big the range is going to be."
I did as Iono asked, returning everyone to Prisma, and then backed away from the field, but I ended up backing into a pair of people. I turned around to see... Is that a girl and a girl? Or is the second one a guy? I didn't even get the chance to apologize because I heard Iono talking, so I turned back to see what she was going to do.
"Heyyy! It's time for the Ionozone to lock in! This Ursaring sure looks mad, but it is time for my grand finally!" Iono cheered, lifting up into the air as her massive hammer shrank back down into a microphone. "Disarming Electro Voice!"
The attack was like a pulse that burst in all directions from Iono's body, and I was not far enough away. None of us were. The attack hit me and the group I had run into, but I activated my skin, allowing me to absorb the electrical part of her attack, but the Fairy energy cut into my mind. It left me with a splitting headache, and a feeling like I was going to faint, but after a moment, I was fine, and I released my skin.
Everyone else? No, none of them were standing except for Iono, but she had no color left in her face as she turned back to me with a worried look. I couldn't really blame her since this was on a live stream, and for anyone that was watching, it would look a lot like she just killed everyone. Thankfully, Cryo piped up to say that everyone was just knocked out, and would wake up in a few moments.
I looked down at the stream, and to my surprise, it was not moving. I guess that everyone was holding their breath for this, so I had best fix this.
"Don't worry, Iono, they are all fine. You just knocked everyone out, but this is my fault and not yours," I explained, and then waved to the camera's. "Sorry everyone! This accident was my fault not Iono's. We should have set up the stadium first, but everyone will wake up soon!"
Iono floated down, and came over to me, but all the camera's turned away from us, focusing on the knocked out people and Pokémon that were starting to stir. I opened my arms, and Iono came over and pressed her face into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, and then kissed the top of her head. She was trembling, so I just held her for a moment before leaning down further to whisper into her ear.
"Everyone is okay, and they are all getting up," I said softly, and Iono nodded, then sniffled.
"Sorry, I just got really scared when I saw everyone just laying on the ground. I thought that I might have actually killed someone. I never really thought about what might happen if I went full out. I mean, it isn't like I could do this anywhere, but I have to admit, the power rush was fun, and the way my body felt. It was really..."
"Dangerous, but this was my fault. I should have gotten Nemona to set up her stadium first for the battle," I said, and Iono pulled away, and nodded, looking up at me with her regular beaming smile.
"At least it looks like everyone is fine, so the show must go on!" Iono cheered, and then flew back to the battlefield where the two trainers were returning their Pokémon to their Poke balls. Both the boy and girl looked in rough shape, but the moment the Pokémon were back in the balls, the female pounced on the male and started to hit him.
"What is your problem, you idiot?! Why did you shout that my Arcanine was going to attack from above?! You are supposed to be my boyfriend, and my partner in battle, you loser!" The girl yelled, and the boy looked like he was going to cry, and tried to back away.
"I'm sorry! But did you really want to hurt that pretty gym leader?" He asked, but that was the wrong thing to say. The girl jumped up and kicked him between the legs, and then she started to drag him away, shouting how she was going to teach him a lesson.
I winced at this, feeling a bit ill from just watching the poor guy. Seeing it happen still gave me an uncomfortable feeling between my legs.
"Sorry about that, everyone! Looks like the show is over for today! Thank you, gracias, merci, Спасибо!" Iono cheered, and the chat started going nuts.
