Chapter no.253 Stay or Leave ?!

Dragonair dreamed of blue. Blue sky and blue sea stretching from horizon to horizon with no end in sight. She felt utterly complete, as if she was meant to be there, suspended between the earth and heavens, just flying. It felt like home. She felt utterly free, as if all her worries, all her insecurities, all her disgust at herself had been left on the ground. As if nothing else mattered but this, not her power, not her smarts or her age his. Then again, she also felt stronger then ever. She felt as if he could do anything.
For ages she just flew, and the blue sea gave way to bright white ice and snow. She noticed it immediately though, when the blue sky became obscured with thick clouds. She felt unease rise but brushed it off as just a storm. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off though. She saw something in the distance, a hazy structure, a good place to rest at least and wait out the storm but the closer she got the more her unease grew. Fear lanced through her though at the sudden knowledge that she was not alone. Before she could dodge- she saw him.
Her mate who didn't even glance at her.
As if she meant nothing, as if she didn't have any value before of her status.
Dragonair's eyes jolted up in as she saw Austin and Luacrio were discussing something meanwhile Haunter was poking the tree curiously.
Haunter had even made a stalagmite monocle as she examined the tree.
Dragonair slowly slithered forward but she accidentally hit a stalagmite which echoed throughout the cave.
Dragonair gulped and turned around as she saw Austin, Lucario and Haunter looking at her with a deadpan face.
Dragonair could only smile nervously as she felt scared for her life.
What do these monsters want with her ?

[ South of Cerulean City - Abandoned Power Plant ]
The tunnels that ran underground vibrated constantly, as several Voltorb and Electrode rolled their way through them, with each of the electric-types now returning to their own devices. It had been a significant occasion, especially since they had gotten out onto the ground after several years now-except the occasional member of their kin rolling out from time to time. Slowly, the electric types vanished into the darkness leaving a lone member, who silently pushed himself into one of their more… reverent spaces, the same one in which the Great One slumbered, the Avian God of Thunder.
The lone watcher, who had observed the proceedings over the past day, silently positioned himself in wait for the Avian God of Thunder to awake and to return back to the land. He didn't know when the Avian God Thunder would awake.
But some humans had intruded this place where the Avian God of Thunder slumbered.
How dare these mortals disturb a God ?
The electric type thought as executive Arianna limped through while her Drapian captured all the electric types that tried to attack them.
Arianna gritted her teeth as she saw the bolts of electricity attack Drapion. She remembered the shock that went through her body when she battled against that brat in the SS. Anne and now as a result she had multiple incurable medical conditions like seizures, irregular heartbeat, insomnia and sciatica.
Arianna's grinned sadistically as she would enjoy torturing these electric types.

A cry of an avian echoed throughout the entire power plant like a thunder echoing through the sky.

Austin gulped and held out the bait as a peace offering.
Dragonair growled though, eyeing his hip where Austin's pokeballs were.
Austin quickly realized what was wrong and carefully and slowly took his Pokeballs from his hip and tossed it to the side. The pseudo dragon immediately stopped growling and looked at him more curiously, Austin gestured with the bait to coax her to take it.
Dragonair glanced between Austin and the bait in his hand. Dragonair reached out with her whole body and took the Pokemon Bait. She backed up and glanced again between Austin and Lucario before chowing down.
Dragonair ate it quickly and looked up to see it there was more, her eyes wide and at ease.
Austin shook his head and brought his hands up to show it that was the only one.
"Um, no. Sorry I don't have anymore."
For a moment the dragon Pokemon just stared at Austin and warily glanced at Lucario who just raised his paw in a waving motion. Dragonair darted over to tree full of long blue berries.
Haunter curiously looked at Dragonair with her monocle. Dragonair chose to ignore the giant alpha shiny haunter who dejectedly sighed.
Dragonair pulled a few berries off the tree, coming back and holding one out to Austin and Lucario each.
Austin blinked at the reversed position but was reluctant to take it. He and Luacrio had tired those berries before, they taste dry and sour to them, they were extremely bitter too but he doesn't mind that as much. He eyed the berry warily but couldn't help but accept when Dragonair gestures for him to take it, coaxing him just as he had. He looked between the berry and the pseudo legendary wondering if he can get away with not eating it but the dragon's gaze was expectant.
Austin pulled in a fortifying breath before taking a harsh bite out of it to break through its hard skin. He immediately wanted to spit it out but the dragon was still watching him. He smiles but Dragonair just narrowed its eyes, stretching its long throat out and making an obvious gulp. It took him a moment before he reluctantly choked it down.
In the sides, Luacrio was enjoying every second of this.
The pseudo legendary pokemon brightened, giving a happy chirp as it holds the last berry. It seems content with how much she shared and brings the other berry to her mouth. 
Austin meanwhile took this opportunity to bow to Dragonair and say," I wanted to apologize for calling you old. It wasn't in any form of disrespect, I was just admiring your beauty. All the books I had read about dragon pokemon told me that dragon types loved any compliment to their age even so I must apologize for my words."
Dragonair slowly nodded and pushed Austin's head with her mouth as a form of acceptance of the apology.
{ You can get up, you idiot. }
Austin rolled his eyes at Luacrio's harsh words as he looked into Dragonair's eyes.
" Dragonair, can I ask you something?" The determination and seriousness in Austin's eyes caused Dragonair to straighten herself.
" Don't you wish to be a Dragonite ?"
Austin's words caused Dragonair to froze in shock.
" I know my words seem unbelievable, but currently, I am on a quest to destroy a villains organization not, because I am hero, rather it is out of my own selfishness and desire for revenge. I need powerful pokemon for that job and you, my beautiful friend fit that description. So Dragonair, would you like to leave this place and sore through the sky as a Dragonite or stay here and rot away your life, your potential and your chance to get powerful. " Austin said as he pushed a Safari Ball towards Dragonair who just glanced at the Pokeball while she was in deep thought due to Austin's words.
