Of bowties and pokemon 3

Serena and three of her pokemon (Merlin, Aaron, and Smithy) rushed down the halls and through the corridors. There was so very little time. If they didn't stop this now, then the whole world could end. Serena had already sent calem and the others to help get free the wild pokemon. She had been fighting team flare from the very begging of her journey yet only now had she learned the horror of what they were really up to. Their goal: to end nearly all life as we know it. They were now racing through the team Flare head quarters, desperately trying to find a way to stop the machine they planned to use to do the deed. Opening the last door of the bottom floor, she and her pokemon stood back in awe. There it was. Standing before them in all its glory was Yveltal trapped in their vial machine. It was stuck in a cocoon form, floating as engel was steadily being absorbed from the legendary.
Aaron stared at the mighty beast with a deep sense of pity. One of the mightiest beings in the universe had been reduced to a power source and was being tortured to death for it. "Hold this," his trainer said, snapping him out of his trance. He looked up to see her tossing her bag poke balls to Merlin the delphox. Then she ran over to the controls. Aaron and Smithy exchanged glances before hurrying after her with Merlin tailing behind.

Aaron watched as Smithy attempted to get up on the control panel to see what his trainer was doing. "Ok, stop the machine, release Yveltal, and prevent the place from exploding...that can't be too hard right?" she said trying to lighten the mood. She pressed a few buttons causing a loud screeching noise to fill the air. Aaron covered his ear holes in pain. "Oh why can't these things come with instruction manuals?!" she shouted angrily. Serena quickly pressed a few more buttons and it stopped.
As she continued pressing random buttons, eventually she found one that seemed to work. The energy field surrounding Yveltal seemed to weaken and Aaron smiled. "It's working!" his trainer said happily. Suddenly things took a turn for the worse as the legendary began to wake up. When it was aware of its surroundings, it began to thrash and screech loudly.
"What's going on?" Aaron said, scared. Suddenly, the enraged legendary let out a powerful blast o dark energy, blowing a hole in the ceiling, and allowing it to escape. This caused all four of them to fly backwards and hit a wall. Aaron rubbed his head and opened his eyes weakly. His ears were being assaulted with a new noise, a blaring siren.
SYSTEM OVERLOAD. SELF DESTRUCT COMMENCING. IN FOUR...THREE...TWO...
"No! No no no no no no!" Serena said running over to the controls. She began to desperately press buttons again. Her hands landed on two large buttons and the siren stopped.
SELF DESTRUCT PAUSED.
Serena and her pokemon breathed sighs of relief. When she went to take her hands off the buttons, the sirens started up again.
ONE...
She quickly placed her hands firmly back on the buttons. The sirens stopped again. Again they all looked relieved, until a look of realization and horror dawned upon Serena's face. The same look soon appeared on Merlin's face, replacing his usual stoic appearance. Aaron and Smithy shared a look of confusion. When they heard the sniffle of tears coming from their trainer, the confusion turned to deep worry. "Serena?" Smithy said, "What's wrong? We saved the day, isn't that good?"
She didn't speak to Smithy, instead, she looked away and spoke to Merlin. "Merlin," she said, voice shaky, "I want you to get them out of here, now. Teleport as far away from here as possible."
Merlin looked at her in shock. "But...but what about you?" he said quietly, scarily different from his usual sarcastic tone.
"ARCEUS DAMMIT, MERLIN!" she shouted, trying to hide her tears, "FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE WILL YOU JUST LISTEN AND FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS?!" The usually snappy fire type fell silent. "There isn't another way!" she said, "If I take my hands off this for even a second, we'll all go! The blast won't destroy everything but the entire town will definitely be gone. Enough people are going to die already, just please...." Merlin simply nodded, fighting his own tears. It finally dawned on the two smaller pokemon what was going to happen.
Aaron stared on, paralyzed in shock and horror, not even noticing when Merlin picked him up. Smithy on the other hand was bursting with emotion. "No! Please, let us stay with you! I don't want to leave you, Serena! Serena please!!" he shouted, tears rolling down his face. Serena just looked away. Smithy struggled as Merlin picked him up and continued to do so as the fire/Psycic type prepared to teleport away.
"SERENA!" he shouted, jumping out of Merlin's arms at the last second.
"Smithy!" Aaron said, snapping out of shock in time to grab for his friend. The shouts were enough to grab Serena's attention and cause her to let go of the buttons early by accident. Aaron's vision was engulfed in bright light as the teleported away....

....Suddenly, his eyes snapped open to find himself in a dark, unfamiliar room. He panicked, causing him to roll out of his bed and onto the floor. He landed with a heavy thud and as he rubbed his head, he remember where he was. That new human...his--new trainer?...not yet-- called the Doctor had taken them in and let them stay in his strange traveling box.
As he looked around, he felt a pang of fear as he realized Smithy was nowhere to be seen. Had that Doctor done something to him? Aaron growled at the thought and quickly rushed out of the room to search for his friend. If the Doctor had done ANYTHING to Smithy, he'd...
"Hello there!" he heard a voice say. Aaron turned around to see Smithy hanging on the Doctor's shoulder, perfectly fine. Aaron calmed down, and then he noticed the Doctor holding something: a blue envelope. "It seems we've been invited somewhere. Utah, 2011 to be exact." the Doctor said examining the letter that it held. "Well then," he said clapping his hands together, "eat your breakfast, brush your teeth...or whatever grooming you do...we have to look sharp for our mysterious host. The Doctor walked off to the control room. Smithy jumped down from his shoulder and sat beside Aaron.
Aaron noticed the dark circles under the sylveon's eyes. "You too?" he asked his friend. Smithy nodded sadly. Aaron smiled and patted his friend on the back. "I know it's hard," he said, "but at least we have eachother." Smithy smiled and used his ribbons to wrap his friend in a brief but tight hug. They then headed off after the Doctor.
