Chapter Six: Alto Mare Part Three: Battle of the Transformed Pokémorphs/Pangoro's Arrival
Shadow sat on her bed, a book next to her labeled "Prophesies of Old". It was opened to a particular page, a drawing of five beings standing against a dark force, preparing to battle. The title of the page read "The Exploration Team Engages the Dark Master".
"The time travelling exploration team." She mused. "How quaint. It seems as if they resemble several of the beings here… all female though… strange… wouldn't you agree, Shadow?"
She looked down at her amulet, smirking. She pulled it up to her face, looking down into it. Inside of it was Shadow banging on the glass shouting soundlessly for escape.
With Zorua Girl
"If you think you're gonna survive what I do to you" Weave sneered. "You've got more confidence in yourself than I do."
"You won't win." Zorua Girl said. "I promise you we will stop you."
"You're wrong!" Weave moved forward with blinding speed and landed a powerful punch on the heroine's face, kneeing her as well. "You don't have what it takes to fight me! I'll break you into pieces and then I'll rip you apart!"
Weave then began to slash with Shadow Claw at her, laughing maniacally. The entire time, Zorua Girl tried to dodge, getting dozens of cuts in the process. The heroine screamed in pain as she dropped to her knees, her blood dripping onto the ground. She tried to gather energy to use Recover, but Weave didn't let her, kicking her in the jaw, sending her rolling over into the wall. She moved forward with Quick Attack, driving her knee into Zorua Girl's chest, causing a weak cry of pain to rip its way out of Riolu Girl's throat.
"If you really think I'm gonna let you die, then you have another thing coming." Weave smirked evilly, squeezing Zorua Girl's throat. "The boss has plans for you. All three of you in fact."
With that, she landed one more punch to Zorua Girl's bloodied face, putting her lights out.
With Ledian Girl
Her head was spinning as she looked at the form of Pancham standing over her, his almost maniacal grin showing as he cracked his knuckles and knelt down, punching her in the face repeatedly.
"You're gonna regret ever messing with us." He cackled, continuing his barrage of blows on the heroine's face. Ledian Girl weakly held her hand up, using Protect. Pancham was thrown off as she managed to stand up, clutching her arm as she stood and faced him. She held out her hand, a green energy filling it.
"G-Giga Drain." She muttered, firing it at him. He screamed in pain as energy was ripped from him, being absorbed into her. Some of her wounds healed, but not all. She was still damaged from the Stone Edge, but she couldn't focus on that. She stepped closer to him, kneeing him in the gut as she punched him.
"You cannot beat justice." Ledian Girl said, panting as she used Comet Punch once again.
"I can beat you though!" Pancham laughed as he uppercutted Ledian Girl, sending her onto her back.
"Stone Edge!" he shouted, pointed stones emerging from under Ledian Girl, some piercing her as she was thrust up into the air, landing on some, broken and battered.
"Looks like the heroine is done." Pancham sneered as he looked at the unconscious heroine, laughing.
With Riolu Girl
Zoro sliced towards Riolu Girl, slicing into her arms. The heroine cried out in pain as she moved to avoid it barely. She tried to teleport, but before she could, she was attacked once again, causing her to lose focus. At this point, she was bleeding onto the ground, panting heavily as she stood shakily.
"I have to admit" Zoro laughed wickedly. "I admire your resolve. To stand after the beating I've given you. You really have earned your place as this city's heroine."
"But" Zoro grabbed her by her shirt, bring her up to her face. "Even heroines can fall and fall hard. You've just started to fall hard, kid."
She then gut punched Riolu Girl once again, kicking her into the wall, summoning more Dark power to her claws to make them almost blaze with the evil power she used.
"Get ready for the retribution you've needed for so long." She taunted.
"You won't win." Riolu Girl growled at her as she summoned some of her own energy to her hands. "Justice will prevail."
"Give it a rest, Cry-olu Girl!" Zoro slashed a decent sized gash across her chest, slamming her fist into Riolu Girl's jaw, finally putting her into unconsciousness.
As the three villains stood over their opponents, a large, bulking man in a black leather jacket walked in, crossing his arms. He had white hair and wore sunglasses. He had black, ripped jeans and was about twice Zoro's size.
"What's going on here?!" his burly voice echoed in the warehouse. "I get back to a destroyed warehouse! Explain, punks!"
"Uh, we caught these three, boss." Pancham gulped, nervous as he pointed to the unconscious heroines.
"Well, well, well." Their boss chuckled. "Looks like you three are good for something after all. Even Riolu Girl, huh. Good. Lock 'em up! I got someone who's gonna want to see 'em, especially the leader."
"You got it boss." Zoro said, dragging Riolu Girl's body, the others dragging their respective opponents.
With Medula and Tyra
"If you want me to transform, then you'll get it!" Tyra exclaimed, shouting as she summoned her full power, roaring almost.
Her body began to tremble at the power now beginning to course through it, rising faster and faster. After a bit it began to distort, changing shape. Along her back, spikes painfully ripped out of her back, her clothing shredding as she dropped to her knees, clenching her hands into fists. Her skin began to turn a strange olive green color, darkening as she began to yell with her power. Her fingers became more claw like, turning a silvery white. She began to yell even louder, her teeth becoming pointed and dangerous. Her body began to bulk up, her clothes shredding as her skin began to harden into what seemed like armor, taking on a rocky texture if one were to feel it. Her toes grew claws, those turning white as well, her eyes blazing red and bloody colored anger and bloodlust in them as her long hair began to shoot upward behind her, a black and green aura being forced behind her and around her. Her face began to become a little more pointed, taking a slight triangle shape as her eyes became slanted, narrowing dangerously as she continued to yell in her rage. Spikes came off of the back of her head, giving it a look as if it were like a dinosaur's. Her back arched as a tail emerged from her back, twice as thick as her arm and spiked on the end. It was long enough to reach past her bent legs, able to touch the ground even if she was standing. It budded out like a flower, giving a protective sheath of spikes as well, coating her rock like tail. The tail whipped around with force as it cracked whatever ground it hit, its power strong as well. Her stomach area turned blue, a diamond shape of the color emerging. What seemed like an extra layer of rock armor formed over her body, making it seem even harder as she yelled, the yell turning to a roar as her power skyrocket further, the very ground around her beginning to levitate as she let her true power out. She then stood, glaring at Cipher, clenching her fists in anger.
Cipher chuckled, the chuckle turning to a laugh as she felt the power emerge from her opponent.
"you truly are a force to be reckoned with." She sneered. "I know this will be fun."
"You will regret those words, you demon!" Tyra shouted, her transformation complete as she gave one last roar, the very room around them shaking. Medula was shocked as well, not having expected the massive amount of power from Tyra. It dwarfed her own by a good margin, even transformed. "You are the first who has forced me to enter this form in a long time."
"She looks human like still…" Medula noted in her thoughts. "She did mention something about some people adapting their form to be more human like to allow for greater speed for some bulkier forms… she called it… Pokémorph State, I think… she said it had far more capability, especially for Pokémon that are normally bulky."
"Well, allow me to show you my transformation." Cipher cackled, holding her arms out to her sides like an anime villain. "Like you, I am capable of adapting my form to my human look to maximize effectiveness. Fortunately, this girl is very compatible with it."
Cipher's body began to glow as her power began to rise. The very air around them began to become thick as her power level rose even higher, leading to two huge power levels emerging in the same spot. The ground shook harder as Cipher began to yell, power shooting out of her. Her clothes melted into her skin, her skin taking on the color of them as the clothing feel became more skin like, a light layer of fur coming over her. Her hair lengthened, becoming spikier and seeming to make a mane. Her head rounded a bit, the tufts of hair that stuck up becoming fused with it. A white delta symbol appeared on her forehead, shining, a demonic symbol appearing in the middle. A blue triangle appeared on her red colored chest, glowing with her Psychic power. Her forearms bulked up, turning bloody red as claws formed in them. Her hands fused with them, becoming one solid shape with no distinction between hand and arm. Plane like wings made of fur and flesh emerged from her back, pointing downward and folding like dragon's wings. Her legs turned red, and her body bulked up slightly to accommodate the power beginning to flow through her. Several of her teeth sharpened, adding to her look. Three small claws appeared on her feet, which no longer looked like shoes. Cipher gave one last yell, a deep red aura exploding around her as the very room changed shades from it, gaining a red tint.
"Now, Itaria" Cipher grinned evilly. "Let's finish this!"
"Yes." Tyra clenched her fists. "Let's."
The two Pokémorphs rushed for each other, fist/arm colliding in a massive shockwave that threatened to destroy the very room they stood in.
"Such power!" Medula gasped, summoning some of her own power to try to help. She was too weak from the fight to transform, relying on charging up a powerful blast.
The two brawlers grasped each other's hands/arms as they continued to brawl, their auras bursting to life as they used extreme amounts of power, trying to beat the other.
"I won't let you take her!" Tyra shouted, swinging Cipher around, throwing her at the wall, slamming her fist into her gut.
"You really think I'm going to just surrender to you?!" Cipher cackled, standing up, holding her hands close to her chest as a sphere of what seemed to be mist began to form in between them. "I will show you just what I am capable of, especially in this form!"
The ball of mist grew bigger, Cipher thrusting her hands forward, the ball speeding towards Tyra, exploding and throwing her backwards. The Rock type bounced twice, flipping over and catching herself by digging her claws into the ground. She rushed forward, summoning Draconic energy to her claws, slashing at Cipher. The demon chuckled.
"Cute." She dodged a few, catching Tyra's arm and deflecting one, the slash barely missing her body. "Allow me to show you a true Dragon Claw."
Cipher's claws glowed a mix or reds and blues from the Draconic energies she summoned, slashing at Tyra, actually making a gash in her.
Tyra shouted in pain, countering with a powerful Ice Punch to Cipher's gut, sending her flying back into the wall.
Cipher's eyes glowed, shoving Tyra backwards with a burst of power. She moved forward with speed untraced, kicking her upwards, the Rock/Dark type crashing into the ceiling of the place. Tyra smashed into it, falling down.
However, she used gravity and her speed to her advantage, pulling back with the element of Ice surrounding her fist. She slammed into the ground, a shockwave erupting from her fist as she slammed the ground, the entire floor freezing over from the element.
"Now, the fight begins." She said, flicking her finger upward. Pointed stones covered in ice rose up, racing for Cipher. The demon swatted almost all away, but one smashed into her, nearly impaling her.
"Impressive." Cipher chuckled. "If I were just a little weaker, you'd have killed me. Well, I guess you're done trying to save the girl."
"I'll rip you out of her, monster!" Tyra shouted.
"You really think you can?!" Cipher cackled. "I was given orders by Lukara to remain here and finish off the last of your line as well as the Dakurai."
"Lukara…" Tyra growled. "She's returned?"
"In the 'flesh'." Cipher smirked. "In fact, we're even trying to bring back our master. I'm sure you know who I'm referring to. I mean, your people are dedicated to stopping him. You've even trained this Medicham to fight him in your absence. You didn't tell her exactly who she would be brawling with, did you?"
"Who… who is she talking about, Governess?" Medula asked, confusion setting on her features.
"Lukara is the bitch that started all of this by unleashing the portal that set a monster so feared and powerful that he was sealed up by the legendary council simply because they couldn't kill him." Tyra growled as she concentrated her power into her hands. "That monster's name… is Zygarde."
"Zygarde?" Medula asked. "You mean that demon that was said to be able to destroy the planet?"
"The same." Tyra growled, rushing to face Cipher once again.
"If you really think you can beat me, you're mistaken." Cipher cackled, the two locking arms to struggle with each other. "But, you're definitely mistaken if you think you can beat Zygarde! The Dakurai has a better chance than you do of beating him."
"Then, I'll take care of you and let him get to it." Tyra growled, a dark aura surrounding her as she continued to power up, using every bit of power she had.
"go ahead and fight me." Cipher grinned. "Use up every bit of power you have because when you die, I'm going to enjoy killing off everyone you care about."
"You won't get the chance!" Tyra picked Cipher up bodily, slamming her into the ground, a powerful Ice Punch following it up as she began to wail on Cipher.
Cipher eventually kicked her off, roundhouse kicking her in the head. Tyra landed on the ground, Cipher driving her knee into her gut, causing her to cough out blood.
"You really think you've got what it takes to beat me?" Cipher said, punching Tyra in the face. "If you had an advantage, you've lost it now. I shall enjoy ripping the life out of you."
She aimed a punch at Tyra's face, but the Rock type used a move she hadn't before, jaws of Darkness latching onto Cipher's arm. The Psychic Dragon screamed in pain as the Crunch attack began to burn.
What the hell is that?!" She demanded as Tyra slammed her fist into Cipher's face Dark energy coating her fist as she knocked the demon off of her.
"It's called Crunch." Tyra growled, wiping the blood off her mouth, walking toward Cipher. "It lowers your defenses. But, I'm sure you know that by now."
"How has this dealt this much damage to me?!" Cipher shrieked, the Dark energy still burning away at her.
"It's a Dark Type move." Tyra picked the demon up by the throat, landing another punch. "It will be super effective to a Psychic type such as yourself."
"I've had enough of you and your tricks!"Cipher shouted before Tyra landed another powerful punch.
"Another reason is you assumed a powerful form when the host's body is weakened as it is." Tyra growled.
"I won't let you take me!" Cipher shouted, her body beginning to glow as she summoned more and more power to herself, dropping to her knees. "I'll take you all with me!"
"Wh-what is she doing!?" Medula exclaimed, backing up slightly. "Her power is skyrocketing!"
"She's going to explode!" Tyra shouted, "Medula, flee this place!"
"No, Governess!" Medula shouted, running up to her. "I won't let you fight her alone!"
"There's no choice!" Tyra shouted at her. "You can't survive this explosion!"
"I won't leave." Medula protested. "I will not let you stay here by yourself."
"I'm going to try my best to stop her." Tyra growled. "Now, get the unconscious Dakurai out of here so he can survive this. I can't risk him dying. If what she said is true, he's the only one of the three of us capable of taking on something like Zygarde!"
"I… fine." Medula sighed. "I'll go get him out of here."
"Thank you." Tyra said, smirking back at her pupil as she watched her carry Ace over her shoulder and run back up the stairs she'd entered from.
"A sappy moment." Cipher chuckled. "But, she'll fall to my comrades when we bring about the death of you and bring our master back."
"You won't get the chance." Tyra growled, summoning her power, stones surrounding them.
"Stones?" Cipher smirked. "Are you trying to weather the explosion?"
"I'm trying to minimize the damages." The transformed Rock type said, trying to summon as many stones as she could.
"It won't work." Cipher cackled. "This explosion will destroy at least three miles around us. This girl has a lot of power inside of her she doesn't even know how to use and I'm going to make sure she never does."
Cipher's power rose even faster, but something seemed off. She got a pained look on her face, shrieking as she began to thrash.
"I will not let you, weakling!" she shouted, a huge explosion emerging from her body.
With Medula
The Medicham woman rushed forward, the explosion rushing outward, throwing her forward. Ace dropped off of her, rolling over. Medula stood up, looking back at the rubble that now surrounded the entrance to the holding area.
"Governess!" She shouted, rushing toward it. She tried to punch her way through the rubble, but to no avail. Not even her Psycho Cut could get through.
She dropped to her knees, practically sobbing at the loss of her mentor and friend. She turned back to Ace, clenching her fist as she remembered Tyra's words.
"I guess you'll be the one to avenge her." She muttered. She walked over and slung him over her shoulder once again. "You better beat these guys."
She walked down the hall, heading toward the medical room that was in Tyra's house.
With the heroines
The three slowly came to, Riolu Girl being the first to regain consciousness. She blinked her eyes, the throbbing headache setting in immediately after the bright lights hit her. She realized through feeling that her arms were bound behind her back and she was still bleeding.
"Well, look who woke up." She was then yanked to her feet by Zoro, who pulled her up to her face by her collar, glaring straight into her eyes. "I was waiting to see when the weak bitches would wake up."
"Zoro…" Riolu Girl said, trying to muster up some anger. "You…"
"Save it." Zoro gut punched her. "I don't want to hear about your justice and crap. I've heard it a hundred times from you. But, you won't have the power to administer it this time after the boss is done with you."
"Pan… goro…" Riolu Girl growled a little.
"Oh, shut it." Zoro smirked, dropping her back down, where she landed on her arms. "He's almost done talkin' to the one who's gonna take you three off our hands."
Riolu Girl's eyes widened as she realized the gravity of the situation. She glanced at her two comrades, who were barely regaining consciousness, Zorua Girl more active than Ledian Girl.
Riolu Girl began to subtly move her hands to try to escape the rope binding them.
Nearly succeeding, she was interrupted when Pangoro emerged from the other room, a shadowy being following him.
The being was in the shape of a woman. She wore no clothes, though her body was glowing with a deadly aura. Her feet up to the heels were red as well as partway up the front of her ankles. Two white ovals were in the middle of the top of the arch of both feet. Her heels were black, the blackness bleeding up her legs to her torso, starting where the red ended. The majority of her legs were a cobalt color, her arms the same way. Her hands were red similarly to her feet as well as a little past her wrists. Two white ovals were on the back of each palm. The entirety of her torso was a cream color, a white oval in the middle of her chest. Her shoulders were black, a small white oval in the front middle of each one. Her face was dark blue, with thick black, vein like lines spreading out starting at her nose. Her hair was in five thick locks that were black with blood red tips. Her eyes were a blood red mixed with orange. She gazed at the six, her gaze terrifying, all of the six a little nervous.
"I'm likin' what you're layin' down." His bulky body was in a smirk. "You'll take these heroines off our hands and they'll never bother us again and I'll just let you have 'em."
"Yes." The being said, floating rather than walking. "I especially like the one in the middle. She is very special. I believe I could get the most out of her."
"Have at it." Pangoro smirked. "They've been a problem for me for years, especially that idiotic Riolu Girl. She started an underground war basically, her against us. Well, it's time we settled that."
"Well, if my master is right" the being said, smirking. "She has the pure soul he needs."
"Well, who am I to say no to someone who's gonna get rid of the single biggest problem for me 'n every other crook in this town?" Pangoro chuckled. "Just make sure it hurts a lot. Make up for all that pain she's caused us."
"Well, I'm sure it will be plenty painful for her as well as the other two." The being smirked. "I am surprised you are simply handing them over."
"My gang already worked them over enough to get most of their anger out." Pangoro crossed his arms. "I'll let that be enough for now."
"Very well" the being said.
"You… won't take us." Riolu Girl panted out. "You're not… going to use us."
"Foolish girl." The being said, touching her hand to Riolu Girl's forehead. "You have no choice."
Riolu Girl screamed in pain as she felt like her mind was being ripped apart. Her ropes fell off as she was thrown forward, landing on her hands and knees as she struggled to stay strong. This shocked the other two heroines awake as they saw their comrade being tortured in mind by this being.
"Your mind is quite impressively strong." The being smirked. "You certainly have proven to be the Encoridin."
The strange being removed her hand, seemingly ghosting into Riolu Girl, the heroine's eyes flashing blue for a second. She stood up, looking like a zombie in motion, Zorua Girl and Ledian Girl gasping as she held up her hand, a bluish red aura coming into view as she aimed it at them.
"You two are not needed." The being's voice came through Riolu Girl's mouth as the ball of energy charged up. However, at the last second, Riolu Girl's body gave a scream as the arm was hit with a fireball. All eyes turned to the smirking Eon, who was holding out her hand.
"See, this is why you don't play hero." She said, stepping forward. "Now, I'm gonna have to save your ass."
"Cute." Riolu Girl's body said. "If you were a virgin, I would potentially find better use of your body than a corpse."
"Oh, shit, is it that obvious?" Eon said, pausing. "Glad you ain't my mom. Thank Arceo for Magnum, am I right?"
"this… is the daughter of Arceus?" Riolu Girl's body asked, confused. "the apple has fallen far from the tree."
"Get out of here!" Pangoro hit Eon with a punch that nearly crushed her ribs. The Flareon Girl hit him with an Ember, kicking him and getting some distance, feeling the pain spike.
"One hit and he's almost broken all my ribs." Eon thought. "She fights this guy!? No wonder she's stronger than me!"
"You sure are weak, Multius!" Riolu Girl's body cackled.
"Same to you, hero wannabe." Eon cracked her knuckles. "Now, I broke into this place to get you, so get out of her body."
"Are you making demands of me?" Riolu Girl's body chuckled. "That's cute. I'd love to see you try. I'm sure you're aware that this girl is stronger than you."
"So?" Eon put her foot back a bit, unsure where this was going.
"She was holding back." Riolu Girl's body smirked, beginning to glow.
"What?!" Eon said, gasping slightly while Ledian Girl and Zorua Girl bit their lower lips. They were nervous and knew that she was going to win now.
However, the glow stopped as Riolu Girl's body dropped to its knees, shrieking as the being that had possessed it was violently flung out, panting.
"Wh-what the hell!?" she exclaimed. "Where did you get that strength?! What are you Encoridin?!"
"I am the protector of the weak." Riolu Girl stood up shakily, her glare fixed on the demonic woman. "I am the defender of the innocent."
"Your power!" the demon shouted. "It's rising so fast!"
"I am the hope for the hopeless." Riolu Girl growled, her body glowing slightly. "I am the hero of this town."
"Go get 'em." Zorua Girl chuckled, lying back and panting from her injuries.
"No… it can't be!" the demon shouted.
"I am the Champion of Justice!" Riolu Girl shouted, her body exploding with power as it became cloaked in a brilliant blue light. "I am Vengeance! I am Riolu Girl!"
At this, the explosion of light blinded the entire room to Riolu Girl, the demon shrieking as she understood what was going on with her. Eon looked close, trying to see what was going on.
"No wonder she's the leader." Ledian Girl said softly. "She always knew how to go the distance."
"The hell's goin' on?" Zoro and Pangoro asked, shielding their eyes from the light. "She was so injured before!"
"Such a strong power!" Eon growled, crossing her arms over her eyes. "How's she so strong?! It took me years to only be the level I'm at! She was stronger than my Pokéforme before now and now she's getting even stronger!"
The light exploded, the room dimming to its previous brightness as the form of Riolu Girl was revealed. However, this form seemed different.
Her shoes had turned into black combat boots, her leggings remaining as they were. Her shirt sleeves turned a darker shade of cobalt, the chest area seemingly becoming like fur, a cream color, a singular spike emerging from the chest, seemingly made of Riolu Girl's aura. Her shorts seemingly fused with her leggings, a black band showing where the 'fur' ended, likely the cincher. Her gloves covered her whole hand, minus her fingers still, a spike emerging from the back of her hands, made of her aura. The collar had disappeared, the 'fur' going up to her neck. Her hair was now tied in four 'tails', all of them black as previously. Her fake ears had lengthened, becoming more prominent. Her mask remained in place, turning a little bluer, but not noticeably. Her eyes had darkened, piercing and bold. Her hair had darkened as well.
"She… evolved." Eon said, shocked from her position.
"This isn't good." Zoro gulped.
The new Riolu Girl was healed from her injuries by her evolution, holding up her hand to fire a blast at the demon, two words escaping her lips: "Aura Sphere". A powerful Aura Sphere, more powerful than any she'd previously used, even for not using much of her new power, fired from it, the demon shrieking as she turned to smoke.
"You're gonna feel it now, hero." Pangoro growled, cracking his knuckles as he stepped forward, Riolu Girl walking toward him, fists clenched as she walked. "That demon said she was weak cuz she didn't have physical form."
Zoro threw a punch at her, which she grabbed, yanking her fist towards her and slamming her other fist into the Zoroark's face, downing her.
Pangoro charged up some Dark Type energy in his hands, throwing his Shadow Punch. The punch hit Riolu Girl square in the forehead. The gang boss grinned, which simply faded as Riolu Girl hadn't budged an inch.
Pangoro began to throw dozens of punches, each having enough force to shatter boulders. However, each punch did nothing to the heroine, simply moving her hair as she simply stood there. The confident glare remained on her face, never wavering as she stood and faced her opponent.
"Why… why aren't you taking damage?!" Pangoro gasped, stepping back, shocked.
"You're no longer stronger than me." Riolu Girl said, her voice deeper, teleporting forward and slamming her palm into his gut.
"Force Palm." She said, the pulse from her palm sending Pangoro flying into the boxes behind him.
"That's it!" He shouted, standing up, his power rising. "I'm done playin' around!"
He threw a powerful Dynamic Punch at the heroine, the energy in it screaming with pure power.
"Dodge this!" He shouted with a cocky grin.
"Aura Sphere." Riolu Girl said, firing the Aura Sphere into his gut. Pangoro was flung backwards, slamming into the wall, smoke rising from where he hit. Riolu Girl walked over to where he was, picking up what seemed to be a dummy, designed to look like him.
"Substitute?" She looked over it. "So he was never here. That explains the lack of power."
"You'll never beat the boss!" Pancham smirked, a quick Aura Sphere putting him down. Weave tried to make a slice at Riolu Girl, but she also fell to the heroine's new power.
The evolved heroine walked over to Eon, standing over her.
"You are in way over your head." She said to the Fire type. "You could have been killed. You may have saved me, but that does not mean you are ready to face the threats we face."
"I could use a little practice." Eon chuckled weakly. "I don't you're up for training, huh?"
"Hmm…" Riolu Girl thought. "Fine. Perhaps you could make a good heroine yet."
"Sweet." Eon smirked. "So, how do I find you?"
"If you're smart, you'll know where to find me." Riolu Girl teleported the seven of them out, teleporting the criminals to jail.
With Medula and Ace—a day later
Medula sat next to Ace, who was recovering.
"I still can't believe I couldn't do anything." Ace said.
"I am saying the same thing about myself." Medula said. "Now, we've both lost our best friends. At least my cousin and his friends aren't here."
"Chopper's tough." Ace said. "He's as strong as me."
"Which means he would have gotten killed." Medula said. "you had resistance to that demon's attacks."
"True." Ace said. "So, when can I go home?"
"Rest for a few more hours." Medula said. "I still need to contact your mentor."
"She's not gonna like this one bit." Ace said.
"I would assume not." Medula said. "Well, what's her number?"
Ace gave it and Medula dialed it on the video phone in the med bay. Arcey's face popped up on the screen.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Medula." Medula stated.
"Oh, you're Tyra's girl." Arcey mused.
"Her… girl?" Medula asked confused.
"Trainee, student, pupil, whatever you wanna say." Arcey said.
"Oh." Medula said. "Well, I have some bad news regarding your student… Bianca, was it?"
"what happened?!" Arcey got up close to the screen. "How is she?!"
"She's…" Medula breathed a sigh of sadness.
"Gonna need some recovery." A familiar voice said, its owner walking into the room… stumbling rather, carrying the unconscious Bianca.
"Governess?!" Medula exclaimed, putting Bianca on a bed and tucking her in.
"Tyra?" Arcey asked. "What happened to you?"
"Cave in." Tyra groaned, falling over, leaning on a bed. "Demon took over your student… she somehow expelled her by herself, but it caused a cave-in."
"that's not good." Arcey sighed. "Well, I'll come get them. You don't look so good though."
"Getting too old for this." Tyra groaned. "It confirms one thing though."
"What?" Arcey asked.
"He's coming back." Tyra said.
"this… this isn't good." Arcey said.
"No, it isn't." Tyra said. "But we have bigger problems."
"What?" Arcey asked.
"one of my friends in Coronet said that she found an Encoridin." Tyra said. "you know that super hero goin' around in your town?"
"Riolu Girl?" Arcey asked.
"I guess." Tyra said. "It's her."
"That… complicates things." Arcey said. "Whatever. Well, I'll deal with it. You just recover."
"Got it." Tyra chuckled. "I haven't had a fight like that in a long time. Never even had to transform in a while either."
"you had to transform?" Arcey asked.
"Well, when she said she could, I kinda had to go all out." Tyra chuckled.
"I'll have to look her over." Arcey said.
"Alright." Tyra said. "So, how's your boy toy?"
"As big as ever." Arcey cleared her throat.
"Did not need to know that." Tyra said. "But, you can take your pupils whenever. I'm just gonna rest."
"Alright." Arcey nodded. "I'll deal with it."
"Right." Tyra chuckled. "Better hurry. Also, we have to find the six cultists."
"I will." Arcey said, hanging up the phone. "And, we shall."
A week later
"Man, I still can't believe you got your ass kicked by Bianca." Eon laughed as she and Ace walked through the halls of the school.
"You and Ace are equals, so she'd kick yours too." Shadow pointed out.
"True." Eon said. "Well, I guess we gotta train harder then.'
"Of course." Ace smirked.
"Well, I shall join you." Shadow said.
"Yeah." Ace said. "That will make it good."
"I gotta get stronger to beat the heroine trio." Eon chuckled.
"you're still on that goal?" Ace asked.
"Of course." Eon smirked. "Can't have three girls in spandex show me up."
"true." Ace said. "Well, we have Gym next, so we oughta head there."
"Of course." Eon said. "See ya later, Shads."
"See you." Shadow said, heading the opposite direction.
"Somethin's up with her." Eon said.
"What do you mean?" Ace asked.
"She hates it when I call her that." Eon said, looking back. "Something is off, ever since you guys got back from that weird dimension with Yveltal."
"Now that you mention it, I have noticed that." Ace said. "I didn't think it was much at first, but I'm starting to get more suspicious. I'm sure it's nothing though."
"yeah." Eon said, looking back. Shadow was walking away, but she looked back, smirking as her eyes changed to orange. Eon's eyes widened as she turned back to Ace, making a mental note to herself. "I guess we'll find out."
The two turned into the Gym, seeing the students lined up. They got in line and the class started.
"Well" Mr. Champ said, looking over his clipboard. "Since you've all been good, we're gonna try to have group fights again."
"Yes!" the class cheered.
"Multius, you're up against Dyna." Mr. Champ said. "Hunter, you're against Melody."
"Strange last name." Ace said.
"It's my first name, asshole." A girl nearby said.
"Well, looks like you two want to be first." Mr. Champ said, shrugging. "Have at it."
"Gladly." The girl, presumably Melody, said, stepping onto the mat. "I'd love to knock him down a couple pegs."
Well it looks like Ace is in another fight. I wonder what this girl's gonna be like. And, what about Shadow? Find out soon.
