“L-Lance… I'm scared…” Red whispered.

Lance nodded, holding Red close as they listened to the footsteps. He wasn't sure how the terrorists had gotten into Indigo Plateau, but there was no way to escape - Red's Alakazam had been unable to teleport them both out, and Red refused to leave without Lance. It was almost touching.

There was a clattering sound at the door, and they saw four men rush in. Ditto held fast, showing the illusion of empty space where there really was none.

 

“Heh. Best they ran away already.” One of them sneered.

“Well, best to make sure.” The other man said. “Go, Golduck! Use Disable!”

Lance's lips curved up in a snarl as Ditto frowned. Red reached for his poke belt, but as the waves washed over the area, Ditto didn't flinch.

“Huh. Well, let's check the next room then.”

Their footsteps clattered off, and Lance waited a minute before he turned to Red. “Red, take Charizard. I'll distract them and catch up with you.”

“O-Okay.”

 

Lance calmly walked out into the hallway, ignoring the stunned looks, and smirked as Gyarados reared up behind him.

“Hyper Beam.”

Certainly, there would be structural damage done, but that was what insurance was for. He watched impassively as one man began to fire at him, and that was when Reflect dropped around him and Jigglypuff began to sing.

Lance turned around, seeing Red standing there with several angry pokémon.

“You didn't leave?”

“I'm not leaving you alone.” Red told him. “Raichu! Use Thunderwave!”

The lightning snapped along the ground and crawled over their electrical equipment. If there had been any explosives, they would detonate now.

The Champion and the Leader of the Elite Four watched silently. Explosions sounded in one region of the Plateau, but since it wasn't the Pokemon Center and no pokémon would be hurt, it was all right.

Yes, things were all right…

 

“Did you kill them?”

“Would you care if I did?” Lance asked.

“Not so much.” Red nodded. “They were going to hurt us. And our pokémon, even though we never hurt them!”

Lance half-smiled at that, and nodded.

“So that's why.” He said.

“Mmhmm.” Red hugged Lance. “But we're safe now, right?”

“Right.”
