Lunacur Wars, chapter 3

Chapter three:

Hades was looking around the lab in utter confusion from his latest experiment; the knowledge having come that he had failed. He glanced at the infectant and sighed, just as his alarm went off for him to head back to Birb's house. He gathered his things and headed back quickly, but he was soon stopped by a Chespin named Zeus who said, "You haven't told anyone, have you?" "No," Hades replied indifferently, "But I should. You and I both know what would happen to your reputation if I did." "Yes," Zeus said, "And we both know what would happen to you if you did that." "And I don't care about myself compared to the others who are getting hurt by this," Hades replied and then with venom in the tone in the next word, "Zeus. I'll see you later." As Hades walked away, Zeus said, "I told you. I don't go by Zeus anymore. Zeus is no more." Hades hesitated, but instead he continued walking. 

On his walk, all Hades could think about was Zeus and the confrontation. "Yeah right," Hades muttered, "Zeus I can still bring you back from the depths that seem to have consumed you."  

"What?" Came Rio's voice.  

"Nothing," Hades said, "Just talking to myself. I was going for a walk. What are you doing?" 

"I couldn't sleep," Rio replied. 

"How about a bit of training?" Asked Hades. 

“Sure!” Rio said decidedly. 

The two took positions to start, and Hades launched a quick Ember towards Rio who dodged immediately, retaliating with a quick Vacuum Wave and then lunging farther away. "It takes more than that to stop me!" Rio said proudly, just as a new Ember hit him, "Ow!" "Ha!" Hades said, lunging closer with a Flare Blitz, finishing the fight, "Huh?" Hades stopped, as something strange was happening to both him and Rio. "Rio! You're evolving!" Hades said in shock. "You are too!" Rio replied, now standing before Hades as a tall Lucario. Next to Rio, Hades felt small and decided, "Well, looks like our fight isn't over yet." Right as he finished this statement, Hades lunged with another Flare Blitz, finishing his evolution into a Braxien just as he made contact and knocking over the opposing Lucario with the powerful blow.
