Aero-Burst

By holodrom

A thunderous footstep shook the earth and rattled the windows of every building in the secluded town. The looming shadow of a huge Lugia darkened the streets, and he stepped right up to the edge of the town, letting the curve of his low-hanging cerulean stomach bump the tops of houses to make the roofs sag. "Alright losers, it's that time of the month again! Pay up if you wanna keep your little town from being flattened." His voice carried across the entire town, startling the Pokemon that called this place home. "And make it quick, or I'll lose my patience!" He stomped the ground, shaking it with the rumble of a small earthquake.

Pokemon scrambled to gather their tributes. Food, valuables, anything they could scrape together to keep their poor little houses in one piece. The streets filled with throngs of people who anxiously approached the huge Lugia to make their offerings. "Yeah yeah, that's it. And you better have enough!"

A voice cut through the worried murmur of the crowd. "This isn't a very respectable way for a legendary Pokemon to act." An individual floated up to single himself out. He was a rather short hybrid Pokemon, sporting the long tail, short legs, and wide hips of a Mewtwo, but from the chest up he had the face and wings of a Latios. His body was covered in swatches of black and white fur, with part of a bright red symbol sticking out from under a blue hoodie. He gave the Lugia an annoyed look, red eyes glaring out from under a raised hood.

"Eh? I don't know you. You visiting this backwater? Picked a hell of a time. Gimme everything you've got too, guests aren't excluded from the tax!" The Lugia demanded as he stood up straighter to look bigger, glaring down at the floating little hybrid.

"Well, I'm Anthony, and as a fellow Legendary, I think you should reconsider the way you're behaving. You're gonna give the rest of us a bad reputation." His long tail curled upwards and he pulled his hands out of his hoodie.

"That so? Well you're nothing, punk. If you're not gonna pay up, then I'll pulverize you." Lugia opened his mouth and inhaled a huge volume of air in an instant. His stomach ballooned, crushing the homes it was already balanced on top of. The sudden vacuum of wind pulled Anthony closer, and he only had a moment to catch the glint in Lugia's mouth as the gust reversed flow.

The Aeroblast fired at Anthony, ripping through the air with the force of a hurricane and the the roar of a jet engine. The Mewtios crossed his arms over his chest and projected a psychic shield in front of him large enough to protect not only himself, but also the town below. He angled the shield up as the attack struck, and the massive pressure blast glanced off the shining barrier and blasted into the sky, blowing a hole through the clouds as it left the atmosphere.

Anthony scoffed as he let the barrier down. His hood had been blown off by the wind, but he was otherwise unscathed, and the town below had experienced a spring breeze at the worst. "Alright alright, you're powerful, I won't deny that," he admitted, causing the Lugia to give him a domineering sneer. "But if you really wanna fight, I'll win. Easily. In fact, I'll win without attacking you!"
