Author's Note: I'm glad that this story is being received so positively :) I'm excited about it. Since you're the only reviewer that I haven't PMed, I'll thank you for your review here, Wetland king, like I traditionally do. So thank you very much :)

Disclaimer: This is the last one of these. I will not do what I always do, which is do one of these every chapter and essentially annoy everyone -.-


The most extraordinary Pokemon I have ever seen belonged to an 11-year-old from Mauville. She had six already, all possessing amazing power and two being especially large. The first one she released was a Blaziken, and the first thing it did in return was glare at me. It wore this expression throughout the examination, as did the rest of her Pokemon.
"Your Blaziken possesses amazing power, if not a bit small," I reported. She merely shrugged in response. Considering the fact that she had yet to say a single word, I guessed that she preferred to stay silent. "Could you have him prefer a Fire move for me?" The dark-haired girl glanced at her Pokemon. A second later the air was crackling with the most intense heat I've felt to date, her Blaziken looking pleased with itself.

"Extraordinary," I repeated when it stopped. Despite the cool weather outside, I was now sweating profusely. "Any other Pokemon, dear?" The girl's eyes narrowed at being called "dear", but she released a Walrein nonetheless. Since she seemed to know what I wanted, she glanced at her Pokemon and it released the most powerful, most accurate Sheer Cold into a nearby clump of trees. Those trees are still frozen, thawing a little every day.

Next was a Roserade, and imagine my astonishment when it completely disappeared for a moment. After another, it appeared at my side and sprayed Sleep Powder so strong that I passed out immediately and only woke up when her Electivire nearly electrocuted me.

She was very apologetic, in her own silent way.

What the Electivire showed me next still gives me goose bumps to this day. It took my Sandslash- which I released after the girl asked me to through writing in her sketchbook- and shot a volt og electricity through it that almost sent my dear Harmon into a coma.

Once again, she was the most apologetic little mute girl I'd ever met.

Next was a Metagross, completely massive and radiating with intense psychic power. I could feel my mind being violated just standing in its immense shadow.

"You can return him," I squeaked, covering my temples instinctively. She nodded hurriedly and did so. The final Pokemon was a Salamence, and its glare was the worst. "I think you know what I'm going to say. You have the most astonishing Pokemon I've ever seen in my entire life. Where on earth did you get them?" The girl shrugged, hopped on her terrifying Salamence, and left me with my frozen trees and everything I ever knew about being a connoiseur questioned. After all, power like that was unnatural, unreal, unlike anything I'd ever been taught to evaluate.

I have done my own research and discovered that these are the exact same Pokemon Mysterious Mattie had. If the mute girl I met that day was indeed the legend, I must confess that it would not be a surprise to me. Those Pokemon were spectacular. If they obliterated all who stood in their way, it would only make sense, since they blew me away just by standing next to me.

I must admit, though, I would love to know what happened to that little girl. She was very apologetic and much less obnoxious than most of the children who consult me, you see.
