Issue 4: Mirror B
Their adversary was definitely eccentric seeming to do a dance as he his mirage Gardevoir hummed and sparked. Mirror B tried to wear the patented Elvis Vegas attire which looked ridicules even for stage actors in Graceland.
"Yanma I choose you!" Max yelled as he let the happy bug type pokemon out.
"If we want to Jam the signal your going to have to have Yanma keep using bug buzz while we keep him distracted, Espeon go!" Matty said as his violet pokemon gracefully came out of the pokeball.
"Ok Yanma keep using bug buzz!" Max said as Yanma continued to release odd vibrations from his wings.
"What are you kiddies trying to do to me? Give me a headache?" Mirror asked.
"Go Leafeon, we will show you a headache. Leafeon use Quick attack!" Cynthia said as Leafeon rushed the artificial Gardevoir which didn't even make the construct even move.
"Kid your playing with fire and you know what that means don't ya? Gardevoir use overheat." Mirror B said as flames hit the poor grass type pokemon causing it to faint.
"No! Leafeon return." Cynthia said as she beamed the pokemon back into it's ball. "I'm so sorry."
"You guys didn't mention that these mirage pokemon know moves that the real thing can't." Matty said as he tended to his sister.
"Let me give this a try. Swampert I choose you!" Brendan said releasing the water type pokemon.
"Sending out the old mud fish huh?" Mirror B mocked.
"Well he's still good to give you a run for your money Swampert use muddy water!" Brendan said as Swampert created a small wave of muddy water that encased the Gardevoir who seemed to fade in and out
"You guys I think it's working!" Max said as Yanma worked even harder.
"Not if I get rid of you punks first Gardevoir use leaf strom!" Mirror be ordered as a mighty twister of leaves and vines hit Swampert making it on the verge of fainting. "Well I guess that just leaves you doesn't it Espeon guy."
"I guess your right Espeon use psychic!" Matty said as Espeon let out powerful psychic energy from the crystal on it's forehead. Causing the mirage Gardevoir to be flung in a telekinetic rage.
"What Mirage Master said his pokemon were undefeatable! Gardevoir use overheat." Mirror B said as Gardevoir unleashed another bolt of fire that hit Espeon but unlike his sister's pokemon it stood back up again.
"Espeon use morning sun!" Matty said as Espeon gained energy from the sunlight that hit a nearby window all the while Gardevoir faded in and out.
"Gardevoir use nasty plot!" Mirror B said as the pokemon suddenly had a dark aura fill it's eyes.
"Espeon use psych up!" Matty cried as Espeon flashed with newborn power.
This is it. Matty sent to Espeon empathically. Whoever is the fastest out of you and that Gardevoir is going to unleash a powerful attack. I know you Espeon you are a champion, a warrior you can do it!
"Espeon use Psychic!"
"Gardevoir use leaf storm!"
Energy came bursting out of both of them clashing in a furry of green and violet. Leaves were being suspended in mid air as neither burst of energy coming from the pokemon would relent. Suddenly the tide seemed to shift as the violet energy moved forward sending both attacks back on Gardevoir. As Yanma's bug buzz increased and the tired Gardevoir vanished completely.
"Good job Matty and Espeon!" Brendan said as he returned his Swampert.
"Well Mirage Master is a mook. It's time for the real thing! Go Ludicolo!" Mirror B said as he sent out the jolly dancing pokemon. The pokemon first came out brave and ready to fight but then it gazed at the defiant Matty and his powerful Espeon and hid behind it's master. "Your supposed to protect me Ludicolo!"
"Look Mirror Bozo! You are going to tell us everything you know or I will have Matty and Espeon levitate you into the next region!" Brendan said getting into Mirror B's face.
"I don't know anything kid!" Mirror B said defiantly as suddenly Matty and Espeon took a step forward. "I'm not afraid of you!"
"Ok I guess it's time for a psychic butt kicking!" Brendan said as Matty and Espeon's eyes glowed with energy.
"All right, all right, I give I give. This dork e-mailed me saying I will give you the most powerful pokemon that your little heart desires if you just steal some battle cd's for me. So he gave me his new prototype on Gardevoir but I guess you guys found it's weak spot. Look if you let me go I will put up all of these discs and you can have this stupid Gardevoir." Mirror B said as the group gave him a stupid look.
As the police took Mirror B away the group slumped on a bench. Each of them on the verge of passing out. Then a small group of journalists came up to the group who glared at them at first until Brendan jumped up.
"Hello!" He said shaking all of their hands.
"Hello are you the group responsible for catching the thief who tried to steal the tower's back stock of battle cd's?" a female journalist asked Brendan.
"You betch ya! We took that disco guy down and fast!" Brendan said with a wink.
"Oh bother." Max whispered.
"Mirror B is a famous criminal here in Orre only a few have ever been able to detain him how does that make you feel?" A man in glasses asked.
"Well I was just glad that I was there to give B the final blow." Brendan said as both Matty and Cynthia rose their heads in detest but from lack of energy did nothing. "Well everyone in the group helped we are like super heroes. A team in fact!"
"And what is your team called?" Another reporter asked.
"We are... we are... The Adventurers Society!" Brendan said coming from the top of his head.
"I never thought I would be this glad to be back in Hoenn." Cynthia said as she plopped on the couch.
"What your not going to make out with the couch like you did with the sand in the desert." Brendan mocked picking up a soda.
"I did not make out with the sand I just kind of...hugged it." Cynthia said looking down.
"So what made you call us the Adventurers Society anyway Brendan?" Matty asked sitting in an arm chair.
"Well we are adventurers and we live in society." Brendan explained.
"Yeah well we all eat bread and drink milk maybe we should have been called grains and dairy." Cynthia teased.
"Well pigtails if you were the leader of the group maybe you could have named the group that!" Brendan said sticking out his tongue.
"Well I think it's time we talk strategy we have Gardevoir's mirage pokeball and that guy at the bar gave me a battle cd." Matty said trying to get the two teens back on track.
"So are we going to take it apart and see how it works?" Max asked.
"Well I don't have much experience with this kind of thing, but my older brother Justice might."
"Yeah this is right up Justice's alley." Cynthia said with a smile.
"How many siblings do you have?" Brendan asked Cynthia.
"Well there is me, Matty, Justice, Alia, and Mea." Cynthia explained.
"Not to be a stick in the mud but I need to start participating in a few gym battles." Max said rubbing his eyes.
"Well I would like to kick it at home back in Littleroot." Brendan said looking a little sad.
"I believe my parents were planning to visit my grandparents in Agate Village Justice will be there." Matty said as the group seemed to be splitting up.
"I can give Brendan a life with Ralts." Max added.
"Ok how about in a week's time we meet back at pigtails' place and we will see how our lead will pan out." Brendan asked as the group agreed.
Writer's Corner
Well I'm not sure how Mirage Master knew about Mewtwo he probably got it out of Pikachu when he extracted his memory in the 10th anniversary special. :) and as always reviews welcome.
