Draco dodged quickly, his lithe movements surprized Chizmo. The fire spin flew harmlessly above Draco. Draco kicked, the swift move caught Chizmo off guard. Tumbling along the cliff the elder dragon dug his claws in to avoid his death. Released Chaun flew with Draco.
"You insects!" Chizmo cut off Draco's flight.
"If you want to die old one then challenge me!" Spit flew from his lips as he shouted.
"Fool!" Chizmo sent a barrage of fire balls.
Agility was Draco's greatest defense. Folding his wings Draco fell at lethal speeds toward Chizmo. Waiting with weak flaps Chizmo planned. Seconds before Draco would have struck, Chizmo launched a fire blast and dived.
Draco crashed right into the attack. Opening his wings as he spun Draco's wing spurs cut into Chizmo's back as he ducked. Using his wings Draco pulled them up to ride currents. Cool air rushing over him he somersaulted till he was soaring safely again.
Chizmo's wings escaped the blades of Draco‘s wings. He arched his back and fired another fire spin. Draco recovering from the last attack was hit by this one. He was sent rolling. He was becoming dizzy from being hit so hard and so quickly. How was it possible that the ancient char was this strong?
Holding onto his bearings Draco pulled out of the roll and glided higher. He saw the fire blast streaking toward him. Draco tucked his wings against his body. He felt the rush of wind encase him as he fell. He sprang his wings open and pulled up masterfully dodging the attack. He flew in closer to Chizmo then he let dragon's breath fly.
Chizmo shot flames from his nostrils boiling the stench away. He was enraged that the crude whelp would dare belch at him. He spat embers laced with fire balls. This was something Draco didn’t expect. He tried to swat the embers away but they, stung him. That when the fire balls struck while he dodged the ember attack. Again he was in danger of plunging.
"The sky is burning!" Nero shouted.
Outside the cave Ace was struck by the sight. He could see pokémon gathering to view the wonder before them. Ace began to run toward the phenomenon.
"Go up ahead Yana and see what's going on!" He kept running.
"Sure boss!" Yana rocketed away.
Spinning forward Draco used his mega attacks. He caught his foe in the jaw with a punch followed up with a kick. Wing attack dug holes into Chizmo's shoulders. The elder dragon howled as those dagger spurs bore into his flesh. His claws raked along the elder's chest. Chizmo fell, he was spiraling. A dust cloud exploded on the side of his volcano.
"Amazing! Those are some moves you have Draco!" Chaun rejoined his nephew. "Is he dead?"
"Wouldn't doubt it from that fall he took and his age too." Draco sighed in relief. "Damn it! Who will absolve my Dad now!"
"Well A new leader will take his place." Chaun glided alongside Draco with relief as well.
"Who? Chiffy?" Draco snorted.
"Damn you're right." He groaned.
Something struck Draco, he was knocked into a suicide spiral. Chaun barely caught him in his talons. He forced Draco back into normal flight. He panted as he flexed his wing muscles.
"What was that! Chiffy?" Draco whipped his head about trying to sight his offender.
"I didn't see! Too..." A char struck Chaun head on, he went flipping backwards.
Draco slashed into the char, it spun around facing him.
"Chizmo!" Draco was stunned.
"Time to win my prize!" He ripped his talons into Draco's chest.
Tucking his wings tight Draco dropped out of Chizmo's range. Unfurling he gusted away. Draco flew close to the ground hoping his dexterity would outwit Chizmo. Then Draco remembered he was clumsy as hell.
Dodging the odd fauna and landscape he avoided dashing his brains out on hillsides. Draco was hoping Chizmo was having as much difficulty as he was. He didn't dare look back. He felt brambles threaten to slice his wing membranes. As he ran out of cover he shot straight up.
Looping he hoped he was coming behind Chizmo. He found his nemesis gone. He scanned his right and left flanks, nothing. Then it struck, the intense pain. His tail was blazing in anguish. He saw that nothing was wrong with it but, still the pain was there.
Tears blurred his vision. He bit down the ache as he kept flying. Then came the attack. Chizmo seismic tossed Draco. A column of dirt swirled in the sky.
Chizmo hovered above pleased with himself. Three humans and pokémon were approaching quickly. He knew he had to end this fast, he was catching the rushing scent of Chimga. She was the only char on this island he feared.
"Draco fire spin!" Ace shouted.
The burst of fire sprang from the haze below. Chizmo avoided it easily.
"From your mouth Draco!" Ace was cocking his guns.
Draco was uncertain, the last fire spin that came from his maw almost killed Drake at the Emerald championship. This was life or death, his. Draco filled his fire lung with fuel. His stomach swelling with the gas. He stayed tuned onto the sound of Chizmo flapping his wings.
Draco felt his throat walls rub together trying to make sparks. He shut his eyes and just listened. Nature was silenced, only the beat of wings penetrated his protective cocoon of dust.
Draco felt the air heat. Chizmo above halted, heat waves appeared suddenly. The sand inside the dust cloud began to sizzle and boil. Chizmo felt sweat pour down his neck. Unbelieving he touched it with his hand.
He had been a charmander when he unleashed his first fire spin. The nearest spectators fainted from the heat. Drake's back had lit on fire from Draco's attack. Jesus was struck shitless and witless as he tried to put out his flaming pokémon. Draco watched in horror at his own power. He couldn't perform a true fire spin because what came from his jaws was a firestorm.
Shards of crystallized sand fell from the skies. Draco let the gas pour out his throat, his innards sparking it into fire. As the river of fire sprang toward Chizmo the rush of cold air escaping it threw Chaun off his feet.
The wall of air threw Chizmo out of the sky before the flames could claim him victim. Draco fell to his knees, he panted. His fuel was gone. He couldn't attack with any fire moves until his body replaced what he used. His strength was fleeing.
Chiffy's claws raked his wings, shredding them. Falling forward Draco was done for the day. Ace ran in firing rounds into Chiffy's side. The Char screamed, Ace's marksmanship lived up to his name. He punched holes into Chiffy's wings, the wind did the rest. His wind torn wings failed him, what Tilla fixed Ace and nature sundered. Chiff lay broken on the stones near his father.
"We need to get the hell out of here!" Ace shouted at the others. "The nine other island defenders are on their way!"
"We didn't solve a damn thing!" Draco hissed.
"We have these Draco!" Ace held the crystals.
Clasping his hand around Draco's, Chaun smiled. His nephew was indeed amazing. He wished there was more time for them to know each other but, he knew the defenders would kill his nephew.
"Good luck nephew!" He let go of his hand.
"Uncle why did my father leave Chah?"
"He didn't go willingly. Team Rocket stole him like his son was stolen." Chaun missed Chad.
"Where was he taken?"
"Not sure. He eventually wound up in Poké City."
"What year?" Draco weakly asked.
"No time! I'll take it directly!" Drow appeared, she laid her hands on Chaun’s head.
"Farewell my little Chah." Chimga kissed Draco's forehead.
When the Island Defenders landed they saw both crumpled bodies littering the stones. They eyed Chimga oddly. Churl the lead defender from the North questioned her.
"It was frightening!" She cried. "Chiffy suddenly burst upon his father!"
"Yes, he was shouting he wanted to be leader!" Chaun added.
Churl took a long gaze upon them, he turned to his associates. They nodded in agreement. A contest of strength would soon begin, a new leader needed to be selected.
"Treason…liars! Assassins! Treason…assassins…" Chiffy coughed blood before growing still.
The silver, bronze, orange and gold chars eyed one another. Churl turned to them, they nodded to him. Chimga turned to Chaun with tears in her eyes. He nodded to her and held her hand, turning they filled their fire lungs as Churl and his company did the same.
The bodies were spat upon until fire claimed them. Churl grunted in satisfaction. He turned to the awaiting Chars. He stretched his bronze wings. He bowed to Chimga.
"You have made one of us leader, we thank you honored one." They flew off to select a battleground for their contest.
Chaun let out a sigh of relief, he thought they were barbecue. He praised Chah.
