After a long day of making preparations; Elio, Lillie, Hau and Gladion woke the next day to register. It looked like Elio had not slept, with Lillie feeling depressed at her fiance's condition. Hau and Gladion saw a face struggling to keep a smile as Lillie whispered. "He spent the whole night on the sofa alone!"
Elio yawned and whispered. "It's fine, nothing a... zzz." Lillie puffed her cheeks and sent out a Blissey. "Nurse, you know what to do!"
The Blissey saluted and prepared an egg, Elio was about to refuse until he felt a glare from behind. "Lillie is trying to help you! Let her!" The Alolan champ shivered at Gladion's intimidating voice and took a bite from the soft boiled egg, a depressed mood became that of a smile. "Okay, let's show these chumps who is boss!"
Hau began to cheer with the cheer. "It's good to have you back!"
Elio inhaled and felt adrenaline course through him. "It's just bad timing that we learned about all that, I'm not going to let it ruin this day."
Gladion's sharp glare lightened as he gave his rival a hug. "Once we finish, we will have until the weekend for another one of these cups. Then it's just the World Tournament," Elio was about to hug back until he blushed. "...Gladion, what are we doing?"
Gladion blushed back and let go. "N...nothing!" Lillie nodded and felt herself at ease as she went to the sign up. She registered a team of a Clefairy with an eviolite, a Porygon-2 with left overs, a Druddigon with a rocky helmet, a Cradily attuned to a rockium z, a Registeel with an iapapa berry and an Abomasnow with a mega stone. Gladion registered his team. "Feraligatr needs some exercise and Weavile could use a break."
The first round begun as Yancy announced on a microphone. "Greeting's Unova and welcome to Poke cup! I'm your host, Nancy and today will be looking at what our contestants have to bring! As the rules are, it is double battles with four pokemon against four! Returning from beating the Little cup, give it up for Elio!"
The Alolan champ prepared a great ball and a pokeball as he saw a familiar fire dancer prepare. "Whats up? I heard you been getting quite the fans!"
Kiawe smiled at the hopeful wishing. "Marowak and I impressed even this strange old man with our dance moves," The fire captain flexed in changing his mood to a fiery thirst for battle. "Come Marowak, come Talonflame!"
An Alolan Marowak with a thick club and a Talonflame with a sitrus berry entered the battle, Elio tossed his first two pokemon in glee. "H.P, SALAMENCE! LETS BEAT THEM DOWN!"
A Kangaskhan with a silk cloth and a Salamence with a power herb entered the battle, the Marowak and Talonflame were intimidated by the Salamence as Elio shouted. "H.P, FAKE THAT MAROWAK OUT! SALAMENCE USE DRAGON DANCE!"
The Kangaskhan jumped in front of the Marowak and was enough of a scrappy to fake him out, Kiawe shouted. "Talonflame, use swords dance!"
The Talonflame danced in vigor along with the Salamence, Yancy felt the intense dance. "Who will strike the intense blow first!" Kiawe sensed his Talonflame's gale winds. "Brave bird that Salamence!"
The Talonflame fly to the Salamence like a brave bird, Elio felt the impact and grinned widely. "SALAMENCE, OUTRAGE! H.P, RETURN!" The Salamence roared in madness and charged at the Marowak that guarded with his bone. The Salamence clawed, bit and pulverized the Marowak for an effective k.o, the Kangaskhan grumbled and punched the Talonflame out of the battle for a k.o.
Leaving Kiawe to his second half. "Come Arcanine, come Salazzle. An Arcanine that intimidated the foe's and a Salazzle with a focus sash enter. The Salamence rushed the Arcanine down with an outrage and was left confused from fatigue. The Salazzle thought of something malicious as Kiawe began to pose like rising flame. "Arcanine, hit that Kangaskhan with an INFERNO OVERDRIVE!"
The Arcanine was bathed in strange light and charged a massive fire ball, it shot at the Kangaskhan that braced for impact. BOOM! She was sent flying back, scorched and knocked out, Elio called the Kangaskhan back. "Good work. SURFER LET'S TAKE THESE TWO OUT!" An Alolan Raichu emerged ready for the first order. "THUNDER BOLT THAT ARCANINE! SALAMENCE DON'T GIVE UP, USE STONE EDGE!"
The Salamence tried to attack and hit himself in the head with his own tail, the Raichu knocked the Arcanine out with a thunder bolt, Kiawe ordered. "Salazzle, sludge bomb that Salamence!" The Salazzle hacked sludge at the Salamence for a definite k.o, Elio called the dragon back and tossed a sport ball. "Megan, lets finish this battle!"
A green Beedrill with a mega stone prepared herself as Elio activated the keystone. "MEGA EVOLVE AND USE DRILL RUN! SURFER USE PSYCHIC!"
The Beedrill mega evolved and flew at the Salazzle like a drill, she held on with a focus sash as Kiawe ordered. "Salazzle, use fire blast!"
The Salazzle shot a fire blast, the Beedrill flew above the Salazzle as she shot a fire blast. It left her wide open for the Alolan Raichu to shoot a psychic blast to finish her off. Ending the battle Kiawe called the Salazzle back and danced in pride. "Win or lose, there is never enough dancing!"
Elio powered the Beedrill down and gave the trial captain a gesture of respect. "A good match makes that flame burn!"
The next battle, Hau entered to find himself against a blonde woman in a thick orange jacket and a green hat that smiled a hello. "I never imagined I would battle someone like you here!"
Hau smiled back. "The funnest thing in the world has to be going all out!"
Bianca agreed. "That is how pokemon can bring all of us together!" Hau cheered as he brought a pokeball and a fast ball. "It's always like that when a pokemon and their trainer get along. Then they can do something very amazing!" Bianca winked and tossed two pokeballs. "Samurott, Serperior; lets do this!"
A Samurott with a wide lens and a Serperior with a light claw. Hau flinched and sent his first two. "Noivern, Tauros! Let's do this!"
A Tauros with a kings rock intimidated the opposing duo as a Noivern flapped his wings for flight. Hau shouted loudly. "Tauros, use earthquake! Noivern-" Hau flashed his Z power ring and posed like a roaring dragon. "TAKE OUT THAT SERPERIOR WITH DEVASTATING DRAKE!"
Yancy watched as strange light entered the Noivern and saw a dragon of pure energy emerged. "Woah! A Z move already!" Roar! BOOM! Yancy felt the impact nearly knock her off her feet, in the midst a Serperior was panting as Bianca ordered. "Serperior, use light screen to keep that damage minimal!" The Serperior let up a golden screen as the Tauros stopped the ground for an earthquake, causing the Samurott to flinch. Hau licked his lips and ordered. "Now Noivern, use air slash to finish that Serperior off! Tauros use double edge on that Samurott!"
The Serperior was knocked out as the Samurott felt himself pushed by the raging Tauros, Bianca pointed both hands at the pokemon. "Freeze them off with a blizzard!" The Samurott inhaled and blew a frigid storm, knocking the Noivern out and causing the Tauros to feel a chill.
Hau called the Noivern back. "Amazing job, go Crabominable!"
Bianca called the Serperior back as she saw a Crabominable with a life orb. "Now we got ourselves a match. Emboar, lets go!"
An Emboar with a life orb crashed to the battle, causing Hau to sweat. "Tauros again! Crabominable, use close combat on that Emboar!"
The Tauros knocked the Samurott out as Bianca ordered. "Emboar use overheat on that Crabominable!" The Emboar ignited and knocked the Crabominable out in fire, losing some health to the life orb as Hau was down to his last pokemon. "Go Raichu!"
An Alolan Raichu with a choice specs surfed to battle as Bianca called the Samurott back. "Musharna lets finish this battle!"
A Musharna hovered, emitting a pink mist, Hau swallowed and cheered with his Raichu. "Raichu, thunder bolt that Emboar. Tauros, follow with zen head butt!"
The Raichu shot the Emboar back as the Tauros rushed at the Emboar for a super effective k.o. Bianca ordered knowing she is in a corner. "Musharna, use calm mind!"
The Musharna calmed herself as Hau clapped, the Raichu shot a thunderbolt and the Tauros charged a double edged attack. The Musharna shot a shadow ball at the Raichu for super effective damage. "Both of you, one more time!"
The duo attacked again, knocking the Musharna out and leaving Bianca with a sweat to wipe off. "Phew your a strong trainer, that's for sure!"
Hau had his hands behind his head and felt himself sweaty as well. "You too, I hope we get to talk more after this!" Both trainers shook their hands and left the stadium.
Another duo entered, Gladion against a very familiar foe. Guzma who was grinning at what he was looking at. "Look who I get to beat up again!" Gladion glared, posed and prepared two pokeballs. "Feraligatr, Crobat, let's go!"
Out of the pokeball's came a Feraligatr with blue spikes, he held a life orb that was about to tap his feet; a Crobat with a flying gem, ready to strike. Guzma sent out his two pokemon. "Golisopod, Vikavolt, lets mess em up!" A Golisopod with a life orb and a Vikavolt with a choice spec's entered the battle. Gladion pointed at the Vikavolt. "Feraligatr liquidation! Crobat you assist!" Guzma's Golisopod gave a good first impression on the Feraligatr. "Slug em!" The Golisopod's life orb siphoned as he punched the Feraligatr. The Crobat's flying gem glowed to power an acrobatic attack, leaving the Vikavolt exposed to the Feraligatr's life orb glowing in sheer force; the claw enveloped with water and swatted the charging Vikavolt for a k.o.
Guzma gritted his teeth and sent out his next pokemon. "Masquerain, get em!"
A Masquerain with a focus sash entered the battle and intimidated the Feraligatr and Crobat, Gladion took a deep breath and ordered. "Feraligatr, use dragon dance, Crobat use acrobatics on that Golisopod!"
Guzma ordered back. "Golisopod, sucker punch that Crobat! Masquerain, get dancing!"
The Golisopod sucker punched the Crobat and was struck back, making an emergency exit back to the ultra ball. The Feraligatr and Masquerain began to dance, Guzma sent the next pokemon. "Volcarona, get in there!"
A Volcarona with a piece of charcoal fluttered, Guzma ordered quickly. "Masquerain, ice beam that Crobat! Volcarona, use giga drain on that Feraligatr!"
The Masquerain shot the Crobat down as Gladion ordered. "Feraligatr, use ice punch on that Masquerain!"
The Feraligatr punched the Masquerain; breaking the focus sash and saw the Volcarona glow green. The Feraligatr fainted as he was drained, Gladion called both pokemon back and sent his next two. "Lucario, Tyranitar! Crush them!"
A Lucario and a Tyranitar entered the battle, sand began to flow as Gladion prepared his keystone. "Lucario, finish that Masquerain with extreme speed. Tyranitar!" Gladion raised the keystone. "Mega evolve and use stone edge on that Volcarona!"
The Lucario punched the Masquerain with blinding speeds and knocked him out as the Tyranitar was bathed in energy, growing bigger and having his back plate split. Guzma grinned at the sight. "Heat wave em both!"
The Volcarona fluttered his wings and let loose an intense wave, burning the grass around and knocking the Lucario out. The Tyranitar braced for the damage and stomped the ground, a sharp stone knocked the Volcarona into the air for a k.o. Leaving Guzma to go send out his last pokemon. "Golisopod, lets mess this one up!"
A Golisopod entered the battle, ready for the first move as Gladion posed. "Tyranitar, finish this battle with a crunch!"
The Golisopod made a worthy first impression and clawed into the Tyranitar, causing him to gasp for a moment and roar in rage. CRUNCH!
The Tyranitar crunched at the Golisopod's arm and thrashed him across the side for a definite k.o. Gladion powered the Tyranitar down, trainer and pokemon glared at the opponent who was violently kicking the dirt as he called the Golisopod back. "Ya did good anyways!"
The trainers left in preparation for the next challenge.
Yancy brushed the sand out of her hair and saw two women enter. Lillie, with a determined smile and Lana who gave a respectful if not mischievous smile. "Congratulations on getting engaged!" Lillie's pony tail swayed as she adjusted her cap. "Thank you," Lana asked. "I saw the champ exhausted, what killed the night?"
Lillie sighed. "It's personal, but he thought he allowed something horrible to happen to a pokemon he was trying to help. I managed to talk some sense into him," Lana flinched. "Sounds like he needs to relax, how are you going to make it happen?"
Lillie looked Lana in the blue eyes with her green; Lana has been very quiet about that one moment but it was clear the trial captain has Elio as a concern. "We are going to have to express ourselves in battle!"
Lana saw Lillie closing her eyes in assertiveness and giggled. "A good battle can work on a guy like him! Shame I'm going to beat ya!" Lillie prepared a dusk ball and moon ball. "We will see! Sony, Galil, lets do this!" A Porygon 2 with left overs that traced regenerator and a Clefairy with an eviolite entered the stadium.
Lana blinked and prepared two pokemon of her own, her fish tail swayed in the wind. "Cloyster, Toxapex, let's leave a sting!"
A Cloyster with a focus sash and a Toxapex with black sludge entered the battle, Lillie called the Clefairy back. "Galil, your not needed at the moment. Stalagas, we need to stop that Cloyster!" Lana sighed as she saw the Porygon 2. "I know what that Porygon 2 can do! Cloyster, Toxapex, use toxic spikes!"
Both scattered an array of spikes, leaving Lillie nervous at what would happen if she switches again. "Sony, use trick room!"
The dimensions distorted, Lillie took a deep breath and ordered. "Stalagas use glare on that Cloyster! Sony use tri attack on that Toxapex!"
Lana ordered the Toxapex. "Can't shake this off! Toxapex, use scald on that Druddigon!"
The Toxapex shot scalding hot water, leaving a burn on the Druddigon. The Cloyster felt an intense glare and was left paralyzed, unable to move as the Toxapex was frozen by the tri attack. Lana a ordered with an intimidating stare. "Cloyster use icicle spear to hook this Druddigon out of the water!"
The Cloyster shot an icicle spear at the Druddigon for super effective damage as Lillie felt she have the battle under control. "Stalagas use stealth rock, Sony break that sash!"
The Druddigon tossed floating sharp rocks as the Porygon shot a tri attack on the Cloyster. The Toxapex was frozen and the Cloyster couldn't move from paralysis, Lillie ordered as Lana's eyes glared in frustration. "Stalagas, use dragon tail on that Toxapex, Sony, keep doing what your doing!"
The Druddigon knocked the Toxapex back to it's trainer, an Araquanid was dragged out. Lana saw her pokemon hurt by the stealth rocks and began to pose like flowing water, the Araquanid was bathed in strange light as Lana ordered. "Araquanid, wash this Porygon away with HYDRO VORTEX!"
The Araquanid punched the Porygon2 into a tornado of water, tossing it aside for a k.o as the Cloyster started to move. "Finish that Druddigon off, then we got a hook line and sinker!"
The Cloyster shot a icicle spear at the Druddigon, knocking him to the ground for a k.o. Lillie switched to a Clefairy and an Abomasnow with a necklace holding a mega stone; they landed onto a toxic spike ridden battle ground and were baddly poisoned as Lillie saw the snow warning come; she activated her keystone. "Lakila, mega evolve and use giga drain on the Cloyster, Galil use follow me!"
The Clefairy began to whistle for the foe's attention as the Abomasnow was filled with energy, glowing as ice crystals formed on her tail and ears; a heavier yet mightier form roared. Lana ordered. "Focus that Clefairy down since it's getting in the way of the bigger catch! Liquidation and icicle spear!"
The Araquanid swatted the Clefairy as the Cloyster struggled to move and was drained for a k.o. Lana sent out her next pokemon as the dimensions returned to normal. "Lanturn, lets soak em!" A Lanturn with left overs entered to be scratched by rocks as hail pelted the Araquanid and Clefairy. Lillie saw her pokemon feel the growing poison. "Galil, use helping hand next, Lakila, giga drain the Lanturn next!"
Lana ordered back. "Lanturn, hydro pump that Clefairy, Araquanid... leech life that Abomasnow!"
The Clefairy began to dance and dodged the hydro pump, the Araquanid lunged at the Abomasnow and drained her of her health; the Abomasnow inhaled at the Lanturn and quickly knocked her out. Leaving Lana back to a healthier if still frozen Toxapex that was scratched by the stealth rocks. Lillie gave her next order as she saw the Clefairy about to fall from the poison. "Galil, use follow me one more time. Lakila, focus on the Araquanid with a freeze dry!"
The Araquanid was about to use leech life and drank from the Clefairy instead for a k.o, the Toxapex was still in ice as the Abomasnow blew freeze drying air to knock the Araquanid out. Leaving just the Toxapex left as it began to thaw with hail pelting and the sludge slowing the damage. Lana puffed her cheeks up. "Finally, hit her with a venoshock and we should have this!"
The Toxapex saw the Abomasnow feeling more injured from the poison and shot a liquid to cause her to cring in pain, Lillie licked her lips and ordered. "Freeze dry one more time! We can't give up!"
The Abomasnow blew freeze drying wind, the Toxapex felt the moister around her skin freeze for critical super effective damage. Knocking her out and ending the fight. Lana took a deep breath to calm herself down as the Abomasnow reverted back to her normal form and fainted, Lillie called her back. "Lakila, you done well. Let's get you rested!" Lana called her Toxapex back. "Just a catch to everything, I want to ask... does the champ go so far as to carry you?"
Lillie nodded. "Like a princess!"
Lana's eyes flickered a vile plan and offered to let Lillie know of it. "If you want, I got an idea to keep holding the pants! Talk to you during the half time?"
Lillie began to worry. "I don't want to hurt him," Lana giggled and as she turned around to leave. "Not that! It's going to make him be all over you though!" Lillie wondered what Lana was talking about as she took her leave, preparing for the second round once the other contestants are finished.
The next round an hour later.
Elio entered with a mischievious face as he saw Sophocles typing something on a mobile computer and preparing two ultra balls. "Stage 1 of the storage update is underway. Eelektross, Golem, lets win this!"
An Eelektross with an assault vest hovered above the ground as an Alolan Golem crashed to battle, Elio tossed a quick ball and a great ball as he smiled. "That's pretty bold of you! LOST, H.P! LET'S DO THIS!"
A Mimikyu and Kangaskhan entered the battle, Elio shouted. "H.P, FAKE OUT ON THAT EELEKTROSS! LOST SWORDS DANCE, THEN GET READY FOR THE BIG ONE!" The Eelektross was about to use a thunder wave and was faked out, the Mimikyu began to dance as the Alolan Golem thunder punched the Kangaskhan for paralysis. Sophocles was about to guess a Z move being used as he saw an excited grin from Elio. "You wouldn't test a new move out on a tournament, would you?"
Elio closed his eyes as his Z power ring flickered with the Mimikium Z; he began by making a heart sign with his hands, then standing on his right leg as he posed his arms like pixie wings. Strange light shined from the Z power ring as the Mimikyu appeared from under Elio's risen foot; the trainer flinched and lowered himself. "How did you sneak past there?"
The Mimikyu was radiating the strange light and hissed. "No...one...was...looking! Lets...snuggle...forever!"
Elio blinked at such a suggestion mid battle until the Mimikyu winked and sneaked around the battle. The Eelektross was having difficulty aiming until Yancy felt a chill behind her spine as the Mimikyu leaped from behind her, the Eelektross was about to gurgle in fear at seeing the Mimikyu cloak extend tendrils. "Eelek-" The Eelektross was caught under the cloak, Elio and Sophocles felt their hearts racing as Yancy spoke from the micro phone. "Well... that's a strange Z move," She watched thrashing from underneath the cloak, like something was having the tar beaten out of him. The Eelektross was tossed out from the cloak; he landed on the ground, not wanting to go near the Mimikyu until he lost consciousness. K.O!
Elio swallowed and guessed. "Lets Snuggle Forever is the Z move?!"
The Mimikyu scurried back to the battle as the Golem sweated, Sophocle's called the Eelektross back and prepared for the next pokemon. "T..Togedemaru, your up!"
A Togedemaru with an air balloon entered the battle, leaving Elio frustrated as he ordered. "H.P, CRUNCH THAT TOGEDEMARU. THEN THIS MATCH WILL BE OVER! LOST USE SHADOW CLAW ON THAT GOLEM!" The Kangaskhan tried to move and faltered as the Mimikyu clawed at the Golem's face, the Togedemaru set up an electric terrian, giving the electric captain the chance to pose like a thunder bolt. The light charged into the Alolan Golem. "Now we have everything needed, finish that Kangaskhan off with a giga volt havoc!"
The Alolan Golem punched a crackling lightning bolt at the Kangaskhan; on being launched, the bolt of lightning powered up from the electric terrain. ZZZZAP! The Kangaskhan stood twitching, she fell forward to the ground knocked out. Elio called the Kangaskhan back and hugged the ball. "It's okay, you done enough. Kalden it's time to end this fight!"
Out of a pokeball came a dragon type Silvally that was about to shout a flame. "LOST FINISH THAT GOLEM WITH PLAY ROUGH! KALDEN, YOR TOOR SHUL!" The Mimikyu flashed her true eyes and rushed at the Golem that was trying to back away, she swatted the stone on his back and punched him in the face, causing the stone to drop out for a definite k.o.
The Silvally shouted out a torrent of flames at the Togedemaru to pop the balloon and deal super effective damage as Sophocles ordered. "Zing zap that Mimikyu, I got one more pokemon that would help us! Vikavolt, go!"
The Togedemaru rolled at the Mimikyu, causing her disguise to plop as the Alolan Golem was called back for a Vikavolt with a choice specs. Elio clapped. "LOST SHADOW CLAW TOGEDEMARU! KALDEN, GIVE THE VIKAVOLT THE THUM!"
The Mimikyu agreed as the Togedemaru raised a spikey shield, pricking the Mimikyu's claws as the Silvally burned the Vikavolt, Sophocles ordered. "Thunder bolt that Mimikyu and let's see what he has next!" The Vikavolt crackled from his mandibles and shot the Mimikyu off the Togedemaru for a k.o. The Mimikyu laughed in pain as Elio called her back. "You done well Lost. Megan, lets clean this mess up!"
The shiny Beedrill began to buzz, Elio prepared his keystone for mega evolution and shouted. "MEGAN, DRILL RUN THAT TOGEDEMARU! KALDEN DRACO METEOR THAT VIKAVOLT!"
The Beedrill drilled at the Togedemaru for a definite k.o as the Silvally shouted to the sky. Yancy saw meteors rain from the sky and landing at the Vikavolt trying to dodge. CRASH! Yancy saw one of the meteor's pounding the Vikavolt in and shouted on the microphone in managing the sight. "Pulverised by draco meteor or being pierced by that Beedrill... that's got to hurt!"
Sophocles saw the Vikavolt laying battered and called both of them out as Yancy announced Elio as the winner. The captain wipped sweat as Elio approach to ask. "What are you working on?" Sophocles answered, trying to narrow down the complex details. "I am working with Big Mo and that guy at the Pelago to update the P.C. It would help in allowing more dangerous pokemon to roam free without creating danger. It's in the testing stage so don't expect this to be a reality until much later," Elio smiled in dependancy and respect. "I'll wait, thank you."
In the lobby.
Lillie had a two particular pokemon in her arms as Gladion was smiling impressed at the Silvally. The Manaphy was in Gladion's arms as he asked about the Poipole watching with the Phione. "Papa, what is that?"
Gladion answered in trying not to look at the Poipole. "It's a pokemon Papa Elio has Auntie look after," Lillie began to read the schedule of trainers as the Poipole mimicked the Silvally shouting in pride, Lillie giggled, Gladion felt unnerved, Manaphy squinted his eyes at Gladion and asked. "What's bad about Poipole?"
Lillie answered in full understanding. "Poipole is in the same category of pokemon as that Nihilego that attacked Ursaring and Raikou. It is an Ultra Beast."
Gladion began to glare at the Poipole, causing uncertainty at the Ultra Beast as Elio arrived to put away a pokeball. "I'm back and it seems everyone is partaking in this! Lillie, your round should be here in a few minutes! Knock the next one out!"
Lillie blushed as she saw Elio offering to watch over Poipole and Phione. Gladion's wrists twitched until he saw an muscular elderly gym leader order a Hydreigon. "Now, finish this Dragalge with a dragon pulse!"
The Hydreigon knocked the Dragalge in a roar, the Poipole began to mimic the roar. Elio blushed at the Poipole and sat down with him. "Those are dragon types! Hydreigon is one of the most fierce among them-" Lillie nodded. "Ghorchi's power in battle makes him one of my strongest, but you should see how he is outside of battle, he is an angel."
The Poipole spun in excitement and clapped in questioning, Elio prepared a pokeball to let out a Salamence. "He isn't used for battle... though he is a flier. But a Salamence is still a strong pokemon, there is only three types a dragon pokemon should watch out for. Other dragon types, ice... and fairies!"
The Poipole pointed at one more ball, Gladion's glare became worse in anticipation what Elio was about to say; the Alolan Champ thought of it and sighed. "Kalden hasn't been anything but a dragon type in years. But you rather not meet him, he is nice to most pokemon but your-" Elio tried to find the words to say it. "Your kind of the type of pokemon he was hard wired to attack on sight. Is it okay when this cup is over I introduce you to another dragon type that would be more than happy to meet you?"
The Poipole was about to whine until he saw his trainer giving a friendly face he didn't want to upset and went into his trainers arms. Elio smiled at the Manaphy in an attempt to get him to understand. "Each species of Ultra Beast is different, Nihilego acts on instinct and are fight or flight, while others like Poipole can be talked to. It's still a better idea to let me or Gladion know if you see one, okay," Manaphy nodded as Gladion's glare lessened. "This is going to be something we are always going to argue over. But you worded it well enough," Elio found a spot next to Lillie as the Poipole began to play on the snout of a Salamence, a familiar face was about to battle another unusual trainer.
In the stadium.
Yancy announced in excitement at the sight of a man with spikey blue hair that wore a red and white shirt. "This is a returning battler that you knew from eight years! Give it up for Hugh!"
The trainer saw the sight of Hau and prepared two pokeballs. "Ever since Nate introduced me to you. Lets see what your made of!" Hau sensed a familiar tension and prepared a pokeball and net ball. "Raichu, Ludicolo, lets do this!"
An Alolan Raichu with a choice specs and a Ludicolo with a damp rock entered the Stadium, Hugh tossed his out. "Bouffalant, Eelektross, unleash your power!"
A Boufallant with a muscle band and an Eelektross with left overs entered. Hau ordered first, realizing he doesn't have a good lead. "Raichu, use thunder! Ludicolo, set up a rain dance!"
The Raichu shot a bolt of electricity into the sky, it crashed at the Bouffalant as the Ludicolo began to dance, rain trickled as Hugh closed his eyes in silence. The Eelektross let loose a wild charged and rammed at the Ludicolo as the Bouffalant stomped the ground, causing an earthquake to hit the ground and knock the Raichu out in one blow. The Ludicolo was knocked back and saw his partner knocked out, Hau called the Raichu back and sent out his next pokemon. "Go Noivern!" A Noivern took flight as Hau ordered. "Finish that Bouffalant off with an air slash! Ludicolo, hydro pump that Eelektross!"
The Noivern knocked the Bouffalant out as the Ludicolo shot the Eelektross back, nearly knocking him out, Hugh ordered back. "Use dragon claw on that Noivern! Bouffalant come back," Hugh sent out a Samurott in the Bouffalant's place, Hau learned his lesson from the previous Samurott and posed like a roaring dragon. "Ludicolo, use another hydro pump on that Eelektross. Noivern take that Samurott down with DEVESTATING DRAKE!"
Yancy and Hugh saw the Z move form, both closed their eyes on seeing it land and felt the explosion. Samurott was knocked out, Hugh ordered his Eelektross. "Dodge that hydro pump and finish that Ludicolo off with another wild charge!" The Eelektross dodged and crackled, he rammed at the Ludicolo.
Bam!
Yancy saw the Eelektross knock the Ludicolo back for a k.o and not get up. "What do you look at that, the recoil knocked both of them out!"
Hau sent his next pokemon out. "Crabrawler, lets finish this battle!" Hugh sent his last pokemon on seeing an ice type with an life orb, a Flygon with a dragon gem. Hau ordered quickly. "Noivern, use dragon pulse!"
The Noivern shot at the Flygon that embraced the damage, both heard a loud roar and looked to the sky. A draco meteor pelted the Noivern to the ground for a one hit k.o. Hau ordered back. "Crabominable end this fight with an ice hammer!"
The Crabominable's claw gave an icy veil and crushed the Flygon for a definite k.o. Hugh felt the chill and the battle reach its conclusion as he called the Flygon back. "Phew! Your something!"
Hau felt a passion for battle and complimented Hugh back. "Your a tough trainer yourself! It always feels nice when you keep reaching far," Hugh agreed and sensed what is a rival to someone else. "It is, you mind if we keep talking about this?" Hau didn't as both left.
At a waiting room.
Lillie felt a buzzer for her turn and took left. The Phione felt comfort in Elio's arms as the Poipole was cheering in excitement to the point he is shooting liquid everywhere, much to Gladion's frustration as he felt himself reaching to a pokeball. The Manaphy stopped Gladion. "Papa, don't. He just really likes dragons!"
Elio shouted loudly. "Crylate, calm down and stop spraying that everywhere!"
The Poipole flinched at the tone and tapped his fingers at the mess, seemingly apologizing as the Phione prepared to wash the stains off. Elio took out the Rotom Dex and asked. "Rotom, that information we got the other day... is there a reason for Crylate to be excited over this?"
The Rotom Dex scanned and showed a minor report. "BZZT! This is was part of that Squad's data! BZZT!" Elio stared as Gladion looked from behind, both have difficulty reading the specific details but it showed a sighting of a particular unruly Ultra Beast that's combat abilities are unknown. The Dex showed a silhouette of a draconic creature with a stinger like tail, Gladion asked with a rather bitter tone. "And this is an Ultra Beast they didn't tell you about?"
Elio scratched his head. "I think they were studying this as well but they didn't go near it to get a report."
The Poipole looked at the silhouette and was intrigued as well, giving Elio an idea. "Crylate might know this Ultra Beast better, but us finding out isn't going to happen for a while... unless we let him hang out with some more dragon types. This could be a big clue to something undiscovered!"
Gladion didn't wish to agree. "...Could, but it might lead to more disaster depending on where this is going!"
Manaphy agreed with Gladion, Elio felt more frustrated as the Phione went back to his arms and the Poipole began playing with the Rotom Dex. The oldest of the rival's continued to watch as the next battle went underway.
In the Stadium.
Lillie was rather amused at the sight of Acerola dancing and winking in a cheer. "Hello again! It seems the queen needs some advice from royalty!" Lillie blushed as she prepared a dusk ball and a moon ball. "That would be nice, that isn't going to happen if I don't beat you though?"
Acerola had her hands at her hips and prepared two ultra balls. "It wouldn't be so easy! Gengar, Froslass, lets play!"
A Gengar with a choice specs and a Froslass with a focus sash entered the stadium as Lillie shouted. "Galil, Sony, we need to win this!"
A Clefairy waddled as the Porygon2 traced the Gengar's cursed body. Lillie ordered with determination. "Galil, use follow me. Sony have trick room ready!"
The Clefairy became the center of attention as Acerola ordered. "Sludge bomb that Clefairy, Froslass hit them all with a blizzard!
" The Gengar hacked out sludge for super effective damage on the Clefairy, knocking him back as the Froslass blew a blizzard that knocked the Clefairy out in the cold and dealt a glance to the Porygon2. The dimensions distorted, giving Lillie the chance she needed as she called the Clefairy back. "Excellent work! Lakila, lets push through!"
An Abomasnow crashed at the stadium and let loose a snow warning. Lillie mega evolved the Abomasnow and ordered. "Use blizzard back, Sony ice beam that Gengar just in case!" The Abomasnow inhaled and blew a storm as the Porygon 2 shot the shivering Gengar for a k.o. Acerola nodded and ordered. "Froslass, shadow ball that Abomasnow! She the reason trick room is a very fun strategy!"
The Froslass shot at the Abomasnow as Acerola called the Gengar back and tossed another pokemon. "Dhelmise, lets settle this ship!" A Dhelmise with an assault vest entered the battle, Lillie called the Porygon 2 back with a satisfied smile. "Good work Sony. Registeel, lets keep this up! Lakila, finish that Froslass off with a stone edge!"
The Froslass vanished into the hail on hearing the order and dodged the rocks as Acerola ordered back. "Heavy slam Lakila! Froslass, help out!"
The Abomasnow felt pressure and looked beaten up, Lillie clapped and raised her fists. "Registeel use iron head on that Froslass, Lakila freeze dry that Dhelmise!"
The Abomasnow grunted and blew at the Dhelmise for super effective damage, Acerola ordered back. "Finish it with another heavy slam! We will have to deal with these slowpokes for a few more turns! Froslass, thunder bolt that Registeel!"
The Abomasnow was crashed by the steelworker and reverted back to her normal form as she was knocked out, the Registeel crashed an iron head at the Froslass to cause her to flinch. Lillie was down to her last pokemon. "Lakila, Sony and Registeel with take this from here! Sony, its on you!"
The Porygon2 traced the steelwork ability and awaited orders, Acerola shouted with a spin. "Power whip that Porygon, Froslass come back!"
The Froslass was called back for Acerola's last pokemon. "Go Palossand!" The Sandygeist prepared for battle as the Dhelmise used it's seaweed body to whip the Porygon2. The Registeel attacked the Palossand for not very effective damage, the Dhelmise embraced the ice beam and was knocked out, leaving Acerola back to her Froslass as the dimensions returned to normal. Acerola snapped her fingers with her left hand and had her right hand at her hip. "Shadow ball that Registeel!"
The Froslass shot at the Registeel, causing it to take it's Iapapa berry and shove it at it's lower torso, the juice was absorbed for a significant heal as the Registeel rammed at the Froslass for a k.o. Lillie found herself in a victory. "Sony, ice beam Palossand!"
The Palossand felt the frigid beam as Acerola posed like a rising ghost. Her Z power ring poured light into the Palossand. "Drag that Registeel into a NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE!"
The Palossand let loose a shadow bellow the Registeel, dark tendrils dragged him down and caused significant damage. The Porygon2 shot another ice beam. Ending the battle as the Palossand collapsed from the frigid winds, Acerola sighed and shook Lillie's hand. "Try thinking of a way to spice the tournament, what haven't you done often?"
Lillie blushed and called the two pokemon back. "We are just going to argue on who spoils who, if we wager... then we will honor it. Thank you for the advice," Acerola didn't mind as she and Lillie left holding hands.
The next two opponent's to enter was Gladion and what looked like a man with black shades, a biker like shirt, a red goatee and tattoos dedicated to a Mienshao. Yancy coughed and announce what she knows. "It appears two challengers from distant lands have came to battle each other! Gladion who came from Alola... and this visitor from Orre. Olaf?!"
The biker looked at Gladion and gave a menacing smile. "I have heard of you! Let's see what you and your pokemon can actually do! Weezing, Pachirisu, we shall overwhelm!"
A Weezing with black sludge and a Pachirisu with an iapapa berry entered the stadium, Gladion posed and sent out two pokemon. "Lucario, Silvally! Let's fight back!"
A Lucario with wise glasses and a Silvally with the psychic memory entered the battle. Olaf ordered with a battle ready smile. "Pachirisu, use follow me! Weezing, toxic spikes!"
The Pachirishu became the center of attention as Gladion ordered calmly. "Lucario, use psychic. Silvally, hyper voice!"
The Lucario shot a psychic blast that went to the Pachirisu as the Silvally shouted at the duo, the Pachirishu began to eat an iapapa berry for a full heal as the Weezing let loose toxic spikes. Olaf order. "Cripple that Silvally with nuzzle, one more toxic spikes will spell their end!"
The Pachirishu was about to nuzzle at the Silvally until it puffed in smoke, revealing a Zoroark. Gladion flashed his Z power ring and posed like a rising beast. "I heard enough of what a Pachirishu is capable of doing. ZOROARK, BANISH IT WITH A BLACK HOLE ECLIPSE!"
The Zoroark was bathed in Z power and began to charge a small black orb, it shot past the Pachirishu as Olaf left himself baffled with his right eye twitching underneath the shades. "Damnable thing! I wouldn't have dared risk exposing myself if it was that Silvally!"
The Pachirishu grabbed unto the grass in preparation, still determined to nuzzle the Zoroark as the orb ruptured into a red and black hole, pulling him in with intense force. The grass was pulled, the Pachirishu tried to cling to another patch of grass and was dragged into the black hole, it explode and shot the Pachirishu onto the stadium in a loud thud.
Gladion kept his pose and smiled. "This is the advantage to using Zoroark, Lucario, finish that Weezing off with psychic!"
The Weezing was knocked out by the psychic blast, leaving Olaf furious as he sent the two back. "Scyther, Meinshao, we will crush these fools!"
A Scyther with an eviolite and a Mienshao with a life orb entered, Gladion ordered his Zoroark. "Foul play on that Scyther! Lucario use flash cannon!" The Zoroark pounced the Scyther and used his own power against him as Olaf ordered. "Scyther, u-turn that infernal Zoroark! Mienshao, crush that Lucario!"
The Scyther slashed the Zoroark back for a k.o and flew back to a safer distance as the Mienshao leaped to the air, the life orb began to siphon as he rushed at the Lucario with his foot.
CRASH!
The Lucario was knocked into a crater, knocked out and with two pokemon preparing for more. "Both of you, come back. Silvally, Crobat, lets go!" A Silvally with a psychic memory and a Crobat with a flying gem entered the stadium, Gladion ordered with his hands like wings. "Crobat, acrobatics on that Scyther! Silvally, multi attack that Mienshao!"
The Crobat's flying gem glowed as he rushed at the Scyther, nearly knocking him out as Olaf ordered. "Mienshao, stone edge that Crobat!"
The Mienshao in record speed kicked the ground and caused jagged stones to erupt, the Crobat flew past them as the Scyther charged at the Silvally for a u-turn. The Silvally's claws glowed a psychic hue and clawed into the Mienshao for a k.o. Olaf saw his partner at the ground and witnessed Gladion ordering with a calm tone. "Crobat, finish this battle!"
The Crobat followed the Scyther that attempted to dodge and was knocked out to the ground, by the Mienshao, Olaf stared at the two pokemon and called them back ashamed. "I let myself get outsmarted and it cost us! You actually earned this victory today," Gladion petted his two pokemon with a smile as the opponent left. "Excellent work. Now let's get back before Elio does something careless!"
At the lobby.
Elio blushed at what Lillie was suggesting. "After this tournament your going to bet what?"
Lillie showed her arms and shoulders to be strong enough as she raised her fist to the air. "Depending on how far either of us get, who ever is able to win against the other gets to carry them back to the apartment... if you are okay with this?"
Elio smiled arrogantly and nodded. "I did it once, I can do it again!" Lillie squinted her eyes and puffed up her cheeks. "Keep saying that and you will be in for a shock!"
The Manaphy and Phione were clapping at the screen as the Poipole heard a growl from behind, a Silvally that was glaring at him, Elio called the Poipole. "Crylate, it's time to go back in the ball for now! Hey Gladion... you noticed anything off about the guy you fought?"
Gladion shook his head and found Hau approaching while rubbing his cheek in a blush. "No more out of the ordinary, Hau... what happened?"
Hau felt his temperatures rise and answered. "Just Mallow wishing me luck. Gladion, I got to warn you about your next opponent. He is bad news!"
Elio sighed. "If it is another one from Orre... that region is filled with them." Lillie saw the brackets and felt relief. "At the rate these battles are going, this cup is going to be going for today and tomorrow," Gladion saw a certain outlaw in a blue jacket have an Umbreon knock a Golurk out with foul play and feel inspired. "We should observe our opponent's while we are at it. The last thing we need is to lose early because we don't see our opponent coming," Hau's cheerful expression faded. "Like what you did to your opponent?"
Gladion sent a Zoroark out and admitted it. "Having a pokemon few people actually know about has its advantages as well," Elio agreed and let his Mimikyu out. "As well as having a Z move to really mess these people up! I just hope Isaac and Little Horn are okay!" Lillie sat next to Elio with a Clefairy that needed tender loving care. I hope they are as well!"
On Alola.
Mew and Hoopa were on the roof of a Frigate, observing. Hoopa asked on seeing the Mew shivering in fetal position. "Kid, you really think reading the Mewtwo's memories is a good idea?"
The Mew struggled to get past the memories as the Hoopa shook him to reality. The Mew answered clearly as he wanted comfort. "This would make pop's go crazy again!"
The Hoopa whispered and patted the Mew on the back. "Shh! Just read that Mewtwo's book slowly and you don't have to look at the details if you don't want to. Cresselia told us to to check and Darkrai told us to drill those details into that ladies head if it is as bad as you think it is," The Mew panted and went back to observing. "I don't like labs and this doesn't help!"
Hoopa agreed. "The guy down there has a shrewd way of thinking anyways, he knows we are up here and is content with letting us stay here as long as we don't get in his way," Mew smiled at the Hoopa. "I was talking about where Mewtwo had been, but people like that scientist are... interesting," Hoopa sighed and stared at the moon lit sea bored. "Let me know if you find anything that would worth watching, because we are kind of missing out on the main event!"
Mew sighed and glowed at some dark memories. "Uncle isn't trusting of that pokemon Pop's took in and Pop's is discovering new things. Mewtwo is taking an interest in what could be out there for her to discover, which is all an improvement from what I am seeing now."
Back on Unova. The third round at the Stadium had begun.
Yancy flexed and announced in her microphone towards a camera. "Welcome back to the poke cup here on Unova! The last round had brought some rather heated moments, so lets see where our contenders stand!"
Elio entered to find a tan woman in blue with long black hair that has blue stripes. She has a bracelet at her wrists and malevolent stare. "Well, it looks like the Brutal Tide had finally showed up, or the actor!" Elio shrugged. "Sorry you didn't get any new films!"
The woman introduced herself as Shelly and flashed a mega bracelet. "It was fun to watch kid, but that's a long time ago!"
Shelly sent out her first two pokemon, a Pelipper with a damp rock that brought in rain and a Seaking with an expert belt. Elio sent his first two out. "SURFER! LOST! LET'S DO THIS!"
An Alolan Raichu with a focus sash and a Mimikyu entered the stadium, Elio shouted. "SURFER USE NASTY PLOT! LOST, SWORDS DANCE!"
The Alolan Raichu thought of something malicious as the Mimikyu danced, Shelly began her order on seeing the set up. "Seaking, knock that sash off that Raichu, Pelipper, use hurricane on that Mimikyu!"
The Pelipper blew the Mimikyu across the stadium, ruining her disguise as the Seaking knocked the Raichu back for super effective damage. Elio ordered with a built up vigor. "SURFER, USE PSYCHIC ON THAT PELIPPER! LOST, PLAY ROUGH ON THAT SEAKING!"
The Raichu shot the Pelipper for a knock out as the Mimikyu pounced on the Seaking and beat it down. Shelly gritted her teeth and tossed in an Azumarril with an assault vest and a Sharpedo with a crown that holds a mega stone. Shelly activated her keystone and raised it to the air. "Sharpedo, mega evolve and use protect! Azumarril, aqua jet that Raichu!"
The Azumarril jet at the Raichu for a knock out as the Sharpedo glowed, grew larger, more scared and grew spikes at her snout, she set up a protective barrier as Elio posed like a pixie, the Mimikyu felt the light course through her. She winked as the trainer ordered. "LOST, LETS SNUGGLE THAT SHARPEDO FOREVER!"
The Mimikyu winked and sneaked into the shadows. Yancy looked behind her so she wouldn't get the surprise jump, Shelly shivered as she felt something behind her. A Mimikyu leaped above her and engulfed the Sharpedo from behind, Shelly was in horror as Elio gave a thumbs up. "Beat her up!"
Shelly was an intense thrashing happening within the cloak and a Sharpedo knocked out from underneath being tossed back. Shelly scoffed as the Sharpedo powered down. "It's like someone from Alola to try something like that, come back Sharpedo. Azumarril, we are not done yet!" Elio sent out a Kangaskhan and saw Shelly trying to look away. "...Something keeping you from going to Alola?"
Shelly blushed and answered. "No! Focus on the fight kid, Azumarril play that Mimikyu rough!"
Elio saw denial and ordered in a softer tone. "H.P, use fake out! Lost, end this fight with a shadow claw!"
The Azumarril was about to attack as she was faked out and left open for a k.o. Shelly called the Azumarril back as she was about to take her leave. "This was one way to tire a lady out," Elio was about to ask the question earlier until Shelly closed her eyes rather annoyed. "My boss works a ship that lets people travel from Hoenn and all over the world. If he hears the details of Alola, he would never want to leave that region!"
Shelly began to blush at a mental image and tried to shake it off, being quick to leave. Elio left, not wanting to nose in on another person's business.
Yancy coughed and began announcing on the microphone. "That was a rather quick battle! It seems quite a few people from Hoenn has also came to this tournament, overidding her way to the third round. Give it up for miss Courtney!"
A woman in a red hoodie walked in a robot like pattern, she stared stoically as Yancy felt unnerved. "And managing for two rounds with a trick room team, Miss Lillie, take the stage!"
Lillie approached with her usual leads, feeling overwhelmed by the pokemon she is going up against. "Her team is more a sun team as well as having fire types. Stalagas, Barney, I'm going to count on you soon!"
Courtney stared at Lillie like a machine would scan an object. "Opponent's team... insufficient... deletion from tournament?" Courtney giggled and answered in a tune. "Optimal "
Lillie sent out her two pokemon. "Galil, Sony! Let's do this!"
A Clefairy and Porygon2 entered the battle. Courtney tossed two pokeball's herself, a Torkoal with a heat rock that caused the sun's light to intense and a Roserade with a life orb. "Remove the Clefairy from the fight."
The Roserade charged a sludge bomb from her red bouquet, Lillie ordered immediately as she got through the opponent's unusual speech pattern. "Galil, protect! Sony, use trick room!"
The Clefairy set up a protective barrier to block the sludge as the Porygon2 set up a trick room. The dimension's distorted, Courtney's stare didn't lessen as she ordered. "Torkoal... heat wave!"
The Torkoal grunted and blew an intense heat at the two pokemon, the Clefairy guarded her friend as Lillie ordered. "Galil, use helping hand! Sony use tri attack on that Roserade!"
The Porygon2 shot a trio of beams as Courtney ordered. "Roserade...shall we try again?"
The Roserade shot a sludge bomb at the Clefairy for super effective damage, Lillie called the Clefairy back. "Good work, Stalagas I need you here!"
A Druddigon with a rocky helmet roared as Courtney closed her eyes in annoyance. "Commence solar beam!"
The Torkoal absorbed the sunlight and shot a beam at the Porygon2, Lillie ordered sharply. "Sony, finish the Roserade with an ice beam!"
The Porygon 2 shot the Roserade for a k.o. Courtney began to giggle at the upper hand. "Roserade, withdraw...Camerupt... delete!" A Camerupt with a mega stone stomped to the ground as Courtney showed a keystone, her eyes showed an excited craze. "Mega evolve... then erupt!"
The Camerupt glowed in energy as her volcanic humps merged to one volcano, magma began to flow as she roared and erupted. Knocking the Porygon2 out as the Torkoal used heat wave on the Druddigon. Lillie ordered. "Stalagas, use stealth rock! Galil, I need you back!"
A Clefairy with an eviolite is watching in anticipation, Lillie ordered quickly. "Use protect, Stalagas, use dragon tail on that Camerupt!" The Torkoal's heat wave and Camerupt's eruption dealt minor damage to the Druddigon as she swung her tail to get the Camerupt out of the battle, Courtney took the switch and sent out her next pokemon, a Rotom possessing an oven holding left overs that felt the damage from stealth rocks. "Annoying!"
The Torkoal let loose another heat wave, knocking the Clefairy out as the Rotom shot a thunderbolt at the Druddigon, Lillie sent out her last pokemon. "Barney, lets do this Stalagas, use glare on the Torkoal!"
A Cradily swayed in the air as the Torkoal was left paralyzed by the glare, the Torkoal struggled to move as Lillie took advantage of her last turn in a trick room, she flexed, bent her knee and caused light to pour out of her Z power ring and into the Cradily. "Barney, get that Rotom out of here with a CONTINENTAL CRUSH!"
The Cradily jumped above, created a mountain sized rock and flatten the Rotom Heat for a definite k.o. The dimension's returned to normal, Courtney stared stoically as the Torkoal kept using heat wave and the dimensions returned to normal. "An unfortunate turn of events...Camerupt, come back!"
The mega Camerupt entered the battle again and was greeted to stealth rocks. Lillie sweated and saw her Druddigon still capable of battle "Stalagas, use glare on that Camerupt, Barney follow with a giga drain!"
The Camerupt was about to stomp and was halted by a glare, exposed to a drain as Courtney ordered. "Torkoal... flamethrower on the Cradily!"
The Torkoal inhaled a flame on the Cradily, Lillie saw her chance and ordered. "Stalagas, fire punch that Camerupt. Barney, one more time!"
The Camerupt felt a glance and a drain, Courtney directed her focus on the Druddigon as the Camerupt felt drained. "Remove Druddigon with earth power "
The Camerupt stomped and caused the ground underneath the Druddigon to erupt for a k.o.
The Torkoal shot another fire blast at the Cradily, Lillie saw her chance with the Camerupt's health and ordered. "Finish that Camerupt off with brine!"
The Cradily coughed salty water at the Camerupt, causing her to revert back to normal and fall over. Courtney found herself with just the Torkoal. "Flamethrower again!"
The Torkoal struggled to move, Lillie ordered. "Barney, use stone edge!"
The Cradily erupted jagged rocks and dealt critical damage to the Torkoal that kept struggling to move, the sunlight fadded, Lillie sweated. "Now brine! This battle is over!"
The Cradily shot the Torkoal out with the briney water, ending the match. Courtney called the Torkoal back and started to smile disturbingly, forcing herself to see the lose as a kind of joke. "Hah hah...uhn...hah hah!" Lillie called the Cradily back and backed away from Courtney's strange laughter.
Yancy had security escort the laughing mad Courtney out of the stadium and sweated. "That was a close match. Now for our next contestants!"
Hau entered the stadium and found a woman with short blond hair, a black dress and a pink skirt. "The cheerful heart of Melemele, Hau vs the star of Kalos, Serena!"
The woman blushed and gave a determined glare as she flashed her mega stone. "You better prepare youself! I heard enough of your Z moves! Go Absol, go Meowstic!"
An Absol with a crest and a Meowstic with a let of wise glasses entered the battle, Hau sent out his two pokemon. "Tauros, Ludicolo, lets do this!"
The Tauros and Ludicolo entered the battle, the Absol and Meowstic felt intimidated. Hau was about to order "Tauros, use double edge!" when Serena ordered in advance. "Meowstic, use fake out!"
The Meowstic faked the Tauros out as Serena activated her keystone. "Absol, mega evolve!" The Absol was glowed in mega energy, her fur altered to that of wings, Serena followed with a smile. "Now, use swords dance!" The Absol began to dance as Hau ordered his Ludicolo. "Rain dance, then hydro pump that Absol!"
Serena ordered back. "Use night slash on that Tauros. Meowstic use psychic on Ludicolo!"
The Absol dodged the hydro pump and slashed the Tauros for a critical hit k.o. Hau flinched as the Meowstic shot a psychic blast at the Ludicolo and called the Tauros back. "Go Noivern!"
A Noivern took flight as Hau ordered the Ludicolo. "Hydro pump that Meowstic. Noivern, follow with an air slash!"
The Ludicolo shot the Meowstic back and left her exposed to an air slash k.o, Serena shouted. "Now, x scissor that Ludicolo!"
The Absol pounced at the Ludicolo and slashed in an x pattern, knocking him out and bringing Hau to his last pokemon. "Vaporeon, we need to push!"
A Vaporeon with left overs entered the battle as Serena sent out her next pokemon. "Go Clefable!"
Hau found himself at a corner with the Absol ready to attack and posed like a roaring dragon. "Noivern, use DEVASTATING DRAKE! TAKE THAT ABSOL OUT!"
The Noivern shot an energy dragon at the Absol, knocking her out and reverting her back to her normal form as Hau ordered the Vaporeon. "Hydro pump that Clefable!"
The Vaporeon shot a hydro pump at the Clefable as Serene ordered. "Moonblast that Noivern, Absol you done well! Jolteon, finish this battle!"
A Jolteon with a life orb entered. Hau swallowed as the Noivern was shot and manuver around. "Noivern use air slash on Clef-" Serena shouted. "Thunder bolt that Noivern! Clefable try to dodge that Vaporeon a little longer!"
The Jolteon shot the Noivern down for a k.o as the Vaporeon aimed at where the Clefable was skipping to, knocking her out. Just the Vaporeon and Jolteon remain, Serena saw the life orb go into the Jolteon and ordered. "Thunder bolt that Vaporeon!"
The Jolteon shot the Vaporeon back and paralyzed him as he was countered by a hydro pump for a k.o. Hau and Serene began to pant as Yancy blew the whistle. "What a fight! Fast and explosive!"
Hau took a deep breath and shook Serene's hand. "Calem told me about you," Serene felt a presence watch her as she smiled back. "He invited me and few of his friends to watch the world tournament and this is the perfect past time!" Hau asked. "You mind if we all get together after the tournament?" Serene didn't and shook Hau's hand in sportsmanship. "Good match!"
As the rain cleared, Yancy saw Gladion approach with a determined frown. The announcer was about to call in the opponents as music began to play. It sounded like something she had only heard of as she saw a strange man with an afro dance a moon walk to the stadium. "No need to introduce me ma'am! I say, I do say, I'll let the music to do the intro!"
Gladion's hand twitched as he asked. "I heard about you. Mirror B?" The strange man performed a back flip and adjusted himself to face Gladion, he took two poke balls mid dance and tossed them out. A red Oriciorio with a sitrus berry and a Venomoth with a focus sash entered the stadium, Gladion sighed and sent out his two pokemon. "Lucario, Crobat, lets go! Take that Venomoth out!"
Mirror B ordered with a spin. "Venomoth, protect yourself from the noise!"
The Crobat lunged with an acrobatics and was blocked, the Lucario shot a psychic blast as the dancer ordered. "Now tail wind!"
The Oricorio blew the wind in as Gladion changed his strategy. "Lucario, extreme speed! Crobat, try again!"
The Lucario punched at the Venomoth to break the focus sash as Mirror B clapped. "Venomoth, start dancing! Oricorio, dance that Lucario out!"
The Venomoth performed a quiver dance, the Oricorio joined the dance and knocked the Lucario out, the Crobat flew with his flying gem and knocked the Venomoth out.
Mirror B switched and sent his next pokemon, a Tentacruel with black sludge. Gladion sent out his next pokemon in place of the Lucario. "Silvally, your claws will pierce this Tentacruel! Strike it down with multi attack! Crobat, cross poison that Oricorio!"
Mirror B began to tap the ground a the pattern with the Tentacruel, performing a rain dance, he danced with his Oricorio and mimicked it's movement. The wind engulfed the Crobat in a hurricane, it tossed him like a rag doll and unto the ground for a k.o.
Gladion's Silvally pounced at the Tentacruel with a psychic infused multi attack, knocking it out in one blow as the tail wind peter out. Gladion called the Crobat back and sent his last pokemon. "Feraligatr, we will finish this battle!"
Mirror B sent out his last pokemon. "I do say Ludicolo, now is a good time to dance the day away!"
A Ludicolo with a life orb entered, he danced with his trainer and began to drain the Feraligatr, nearly knocking him out as the Oricorio blew a hurricane at the Silvally. Gladion his two pokemon clawed in unison. "Now, Silvally, use x scissor on that Ludicolo! Feraligatr use liquidation on that Oricorio! Stop this dance!"
The Feraligatr's claw flowed water and upper cut the Oricorio for a one hit k.o, the Silvally rushed at the Ludicolo with an x scissor, causing the foe to perform a roll and a handstand to finish the Feraligatr off with a giga drain. The Silvally rushed at the Ludicolo again.
SLASH! Knocking him out and causing Mirror B to fall on his back in a heart break. Yancy still heard the music as Mirror B jumped up in a dance to call his pokemon. "Well how dare you, I say how dare you! That was one of my best dancing yet and it ended in half the time I want! There is only one thing to do now, escape!"
Mirror B ran away, leaving Gladion to close his eyes and call the Feraligatr back. "You both have done well, let's go see how the others are doing!"
Gladion and Silvally came back to the loby and found Hau bringing a late lunch, Lillie flexed a bicep and Elio feeling her muscle. "It's actually not bad, being trainers can do this!"
Lillie blushed and heard a loud, annoyed cough from her brother. "Gladion, there is nothing wrong with Elio wanting this!"
The oldest of the four folded his arms and stared at Elio. "You noticed anything odd about some of the people you fought?"
Hau gave Gladion some food and asked as he swallowed part of a hotdog. "Gulp! Lillie told me about her fight with Courtney, she's scary!"
Gladion sighed as he recalled what he know. "I did some research on a few organization's that came from the various regions, Hoenn in particular had two teams of note. Team Aqua and Team Magma, while team Magma were the more active force... Team Aqua wasn't that much better."
Lillie guessed as she felt Elio rubbing her arm. "Team Aqua were just trying to stop Team Magma rather than causing trouble? If things were different it would have been the other way around?" Gladion nodded. "Elio fought one by the name of Shelly, an Admin and second in command to the leader... Archie! They along with a few remaining members are busy with a cruise ship nowadays, so you wouldn't notice anything off. Courtney however... like Shelly is an Admin. She had a part in a plot to awaken the legendary pokemon... Groudon."
Elio stopped rubbing Lillie's arm and asked. "She is as crazy as she looks, who is the leader of those guys?"
Gladion answered with a pose. "Someone by the name of Maxie, he and a handful of members from that group assist Hoenn's weather institute as well as the one station on Unova. Maxie is the more calm of the two bosses while Archie is more energetic, Hau you only fought a friend of Calem's. It's still strange the kinds of people this event attracts."
Hau remembered who Gladion fought. "But Mirror B? I met him once and the Ludicolo I have belonged to him," Gladion shook his head. "Wes told me enough, he was an Admin of Cipher. He is more into dancing than actually carrying out the syndicate's work, which is why he got kicked out after it's initial fall. He is a wandering criminal and he did visit Alola a few times."
Lillie gasped. "What does he do during his time with those people?!"
Gladion raised four fingers. "He has distributed shadow pokemon and has blackmailed the mayor of Pyrite town into keeping quiet. He also took some shadow pokemon from Cipher during the second crisis and used them for what ever he wants," Lillie shook her head. "A terrible person but it sounds like he isn't much of a threat anymore," Gladion agreed. "Hau have spoken of the one time he became known on Alola... but that is ironically just a trainer getting a pokemon close to him back. Not so fun when it happens to you. The other time he came to Alola was when her heard of Oricorio, we had a report of the population disappearing because he wanted a dance party to pick the best one."
Elio shook his head at the insanity. "Which ticked the Tapus off enough that they kicked his butt. Since tail wind is an egg move-" Hau sighed. "His goons must have tried breeding for one just to keep him happy." Lillie sighed at a conclusion. "It's a big world with all kinds of people. It can be a scary place."
An hour later the fourth round had begun.
Yancy was being given a drink and a back rub from Nate. "Thank you," The announcer prepared her microphone as Nate sat on a front bench. "Bring on the contestants for the fourth round!"
On one side, Elio approached and found a familiar face approach. Hau with just as much determination. "This was going to happen eventually!"
Elio agreed and prepared a quick ball and a pokeball. "LOST, SALAMENCE! LET'S FINISH THIS!" Out of the balls came the Mimikyu and Salamence, Hau tossed a fast ball and a poke ball. "Tauros, Vaporeon! Let's win this!"
The duo entered the stadium, both were intimidated as Yancy blew the whistle. "Let the battle begin!" Elio called the Salamence back and sent out a nest ball. "Surfer, come on out!" An Alolan Raichu floated out of the ball, Hau shouted his order. "Tauros use iron head on that Mimikyu! Vaporeon, ice beam that Raichu!" The Tauros rammed the Mimikyu and caused her to flinch as the Vaporeon broke the focus sash. Elio shouted at the Raichu. "SURFER, THUNDER WAVE THAT TAUROS! LOST SWORDS DANCE!"
Hau ordered. "Tauros, use earthquake, Vaporeon use protect!" The Vaporeon braced himself as the Raichu shot a thunder wave at the Tauros. Stomp! BOOM! An earthquake was felt, knocking the Raichu out and causing the Mimikyu to pant as she danced, Elio called the Raichu back with a satisfied smile. "We got that Tauros now! H.P, LETS STOMP THIS SHOW!"
A Kangaskhan entered and anticipated the order. "FAKE OUT!" The Kangaskhan clapped in front of the Vaporeon as Elio posed like a pixie, the Mimikyu took the energy and sneaked into the shadows.
Nate felt something behind his chair and noticed Yancy's hair moved in the wind. "... This doesn't get any less creepier," Hau felt his spine go cold and Elio felt something leap from behind him, the Mimikyu engulfed the Tauros under her cloak as the Alolan Champ slammed his fists at the palm of his hand. "Do it!"
The Mimkyu thrashed the Tauros and tossed him out for a k.o. Hau called the Tauros back and sent his next pokemon. "Noivern, we need that Kangaskhan gone!"
A Noivern entered the battle, Hau ordered. "Use air slash on that Kangaskhan and get ready for the big one!" The Noivern sliched the air and caused the Kangaskhan to flinch as Elio ordered back. "LOST, SHADOW CLAW THAT VAPOREON!" The Mimikyu clawed at the Vaporeon, pokemon and trainer glared back. "Vaporeon, hydro pump that Mimikyu!"
The Vaporeon shot a torrent of water that was dodged, Hau felt energy within him and posed like a roaring dragon. "Finish that Kangaskhan with a DEVASTATING DRAKE!"
The Noivern grunted and shot an energy dragon at a Kangaskhan that regreted nothing.
Boom!
She was knocked out as the Mimikyu clawed the Vaporeon for a knock out, leaving Elio back to his Salamence as Hau sent out a Crabominable that was intimidated. Hau ordered, licking his lips. "Noivern, use dragon pulse on that Salamence!"
The Noivern shot the Salamence back for super effective damage as Elio ordered. "Fly and strike that Crabominable!"
The Salamence flew to the sky while eating the power herb and crashed at the Crabominable for a knock out, Elio focused his gaze on the Mimikyu. "Now, play rough!"
The Mimikyu skid underneath the Noivern, grabbed him by the tail and spun around with him until she tossed him to a wall.
THUD!
Hau saw the crack on the wall and the Noivern knocked out, he ran to see the damage to see a bruised head. He petted the Noivern, trying to hide something from losing to Elio again and called his pokemon back. "Sniff! It's okay, you all did your best!" Elio approached Hau and found a heart broken face. "You still give me some of the best best battles I have, always keep trying!"
Hau was given a bear hug, he felt himself motivated and hugged back harder. Both men left with a Salamence and Mimikyu following.
Yancy and Nate found the friendship heartwarming, the announcer thought outloud. "Some friends. Continuing Alola vs Alola, we have the fairy type specialist Mina against the trick room queen Llllillie!"
Lillie saw Mina staring with a smile. "Well would you look at this, your already pulling through big, Granbull, Klefki... let's beat her!"
A Granbull with an assault vest and Klefki with light clay entered, Lillie closed her eyes and sent her first two pokemon. "Registeel, Galil, lets do this!"
A Registeel and Clefairy entered. The Registeel was not effective by the intimidation, Mina ordered with her hands at her hips. "Klefki, set up a reflect!"
The Klefki prepared a reflect as Lillie ordered. "Galil, use helping hand! Registeel.. use iron head on that Granbull!"
The Clefairy clapped and climbed on the Registeel. "FAIRY!"
The Registeel's dots glowed red and charged at the Granbull for increased, super effective damage, the Granbull flinched as Mina prepared to call the Klefki back. "That's enough. Azumarril, that Registeel has got to go!"
An Azumarril entered the stadium as the Clefairy helped the Registeel in taking down the Granbull. "Hit that Clefairy with a stone edge! Azumarril, belly drum first!"
The Azumarril beat her belly for an increase in damage as the Granbull was knocked out by an iron head, Mina sent out her Ribombee and ordered. "Azumarril, use play rough on that Clefairy! Go Ribombee!"
A Ribombee took the Granbull's place as the Azumarril rushed at the Clefairy, Lillie ordered. "Galil, use protect!"
The Clefairy protected himself from the Azumarril's attacks as the Ribombee tossed a pollen puff at her partner. Lillie puffed up her cheeks and ordered. "Registeel, use thunder wave on that Azumarril!"
The Registeel paralyzed the Azumarril and gave Lillie the chance she needed as Mina called the Ribombee back. "Klefki, we need this Clefairy gone!"
A Klefki entered the battle once more, Lillie shook her head and ordered. "Registeel, use thunder wave on that Klefki next!" Mina saw the Klefki dodge and counter with a flash cannon, she ordered while staring at the Registeel. "Azumarril, use knock off on that Registeel! We need it gone!"
The Azumarril charged the Registeel and knocked it on the ground in one blow for a k.o. Lillie felt her blood go cold as she called the Registeel back and ordered her Clefairy. "Galil, use moon blast on that Klefki," The Clefairy saluted and shot the Klefki, reducing it's power and giving Lillie the chance to toss a friend ball. "Lakila, it's time!"
An Abomasnow entered the battle to blow a hail storm, the Klefki on instinct set up a light screen as Lillie ordered. "Galil, help Lakila out. Lakila, use giga drain on that Azumarril!" The Abomasnow inhaled at the a Azumarril for super effective damage, the opponent struggled to move. Mina stared stoically. "Shoot the smaller one! He is helping the big one out!"
The Clefairy protected himself as the Abomasnow knocked the Azumarril out, leaving Mina with her Ribombee left. Her eyes glared as she posed like a pixi. "Ribombee use TWINKLING TACKLE!"
The Clefairy knew he was going to be attacked as he waved to Lillie and began to assist the Abomasnow, Lillie sighed and prepared her keystone. "Lakila, mega evolve and use stone edge!"
The Abomasnow mega evolved as a misty aura began to glow, the Clefairy braced himself and was knocked across the stadium by the Ribombee's slight touch, the Klefki followed with a flash cannon to make sure the Clefairy would not get up. Lillie was left to her last pokemon as the Abomasnow struck the Ribombee for a critical hit and a k.o. "Galil, you done enough. Stalagas, it's time!"
A Druddigon entered the battle and roared. Mina ordered. "Change the canvas with dazzling gleam! That Druddigon is the last thing that needs to go!"
The Klefki shined at the two pokemon, doing super effective damage to the Druddigon as Lillie ordered. "Stalagas use glare, Lakila, use blizzard!"
The Druddigon glared at the Klefki, causing paralysis as the Abomasnow blew snow for not very effective damage. "Now keep using fire punch and don't stop!"
The Druddigon punched the Klefki back with a flaming fist as the Abomasnow used another blizzard, in another combo the Klefki was knocked to a corner and collapsed from the frigid winds. Mina called the Klefki back and asked. "It has to be rough for that Clefairy," Lillie agreed and began to frown. "Being a pokemon for doubles, he is suppose to support and protect the other pokemon. It is sometimes hard to watch what he has to go through," Mina couldn't stand Lillie's frown and asked. "You mind if I do something for that Clefairy? He deserves something special," Lillie blushed and agreed. "All of them should, thank you!"
Both women left the stadium holding hands, Yancy was running out of breath as two more challengers entered the stadium. Gladion and a teenager with a blue cap and an over confident grin. "Hey mister, you want to know where I been to?"
Gladion wasn't interested as he prepared two pokeball's, the youngster answered anyways. "My name is Joseph and I came from Sinnoh, then I visited Alola, Johto was a treat and now I'm in Unova! Bell, Rail, lets win ourselves another one!"
A Bronzong with a berry floated as a Vikavolt with a focus sash. Gladion sent out a Feraligatr and a Tyranitar. "We will see about that, Feraligatr, Tyranitar, strike fast!" Sand began to blow, Gladion smiled as he posed like a rising beast, revealing the Feraligatr as a Zoroark. "Swallow the Bronzong in a BLACK HOLE ECLIPSE!"
The Zoroark shot an orb as the Bronzong ate the colbur berry, glowing dark as he embraced the black hole and withstanding it as the trainer prepared a keystone. Gladion stared at the Bronzong and at the trainer. "Smarter than the average youngster. Tyranitar, mega evolve and use stone edge on that Vikavolt!"
The Tyranitar mega evolved and stomped the ground, causing a jagged stone to tear at the Vikavolt as the youngster ordered. "Rail, shot that Tyranitar with a bug buzz! Bell, set em up!"
The Vikavolt screeched at the Tyranitar, causing his ears to ring and back away as the Bronzong distorted the dimension's. The sand storm knocked the Vikavolt to the ground for a k.o, leaving the youngster glaring. "Rail got you right where I want you. Jet, lets get em!"
A Garchomp with a crown holding a mega stone entered, Joseph raised his keystone and shouted. "Mega evolve!"
The Garchomp felt spikes growing out of his stomach as his fins melted into scythes, sending him in a frenzy as Joseph ordered. "Bell, gyro ball that big guy out!"
The Bronzong hummed and rolled at the Tyranitar for a k.o, Joseph snapped his fingers like he is sicing something at his foe's. "Jet, earthquake that Zoroark, thanks for the sand mister!"
The Garchomp stomped the ground with intense force from the sand, the Zoroark was knocked back in a geyser of sand and earth. K.O! Gladion closed his eyes as the Tyranitar reverted back. "Feraligatr, Silvally, we will finish this!"
A Feraligatr with a life orb and a psychic memory Silvally entered the stadium. Joseph ordered, knowing of the Feraligatr. "Bell, set up a trick room! Jet try and get em with a stone edge!"
The Feraligatr's fist glowed in ice. Gladion's hand clenched to a fist. "The frigid fists will vanquish this dragon, Feraligatr, use ice punch!"
The Feraligatr grunted and punched the Garchomp across the chest with ice, causing him to revert back and be knocked out. Gladion ordered his Silvally. "Crunch this Bronzong!" The Silvally crunched at the Bronzong as it distorted the dimensions back to normal, Joseph called the Garchomp back. "Well, you got me so far mister. This next one caught me by surprise, Stark... burn them out!"
A pokeball was tossed to the Stadium, to Gladion's shock, it had an Entei with a choice band. Joseph ordered. "Use sacred fire on that Silvally!"
The Entei ignited and shot a blue fire, burning the Silvally as it finished the Bronzong off, Gladion was hesitate to order. "Feraligatr-" The Feraligatr grunted and clawed the Entei out with a liquidation, ending the battle with a k.o and leaving Joseph to kick at the sand as he called the two pokemon back. "Losing burns... the way I caught Stark was way too weird for you to believe me, you want to see a video I made by accident?"
Gladion was about to refuse as the youngster activated his poke gear, it looked like a video of Joseph while he was behind his teens. He smiled in the video obnoxiously with a Mamoswine by his side. "Hello people of Sinnoh, I just beaten Clair and got the Rising Badge! Now I just need to get to Indigo Platue and take on the Elite four! Mom, dad, wish me lu-" Joeseph was startled and dropped the poke gear, Gladion recognized the paws of an Entei that disappeared into energy, a pokeball fell on the ground. Shake...shake...shake... click!
Joeseph picked the video up and blushed as he let the pokeball fade. "...This is awkward... anyways's I'll have another video soon once I get to the pokemon league! Catch ya later!"
The youngster smiled nervously and confessed. "I didn't really think that pokeball would work, I just made that video to boast back home about beating Clair, she is tough!"
Gladion prepared a burn heal as he tried to think of what to say. "... I doubt anyone would believe this even with the video," Joeseph flinched at memories. "I had that comment too many times," The Silvally relaxed from the burn as Gladion closed his eyes. "This would explain what happened to Entei when I visited Johto. Suicune and Raikou were captured at around that time," Joeseph snapped his fingers. "That Raikou kept running the first chance he got and I didn't bother with Suicune, anyways good luck with the tournament mister!" Gladion waved farewell with his Feraligatr and Silvally following, leaving Yancy speechless at what she saw.
At the entry way to the Stadium.
Lillie has a well made painting of her Clefairy playing with a Porygon2 and was having her Registeel stand ready as Mina began to paint. The trio of teenage men stood in silence and left to the pokemon center. The Nurse Joy prepared to heal the trio's pokemon as Hau congratulated Elio and Gladion. "Now it's the second half tomorrow, your excited?"
Elio sighed exhausted. "I am, my next opponent tomorrow is Cheren!" Gladion smiled back. "I have to manage this... Barry or what ever his name is," The smile turned to a frown. "Lillie keeps having bad luck with what she is going up against," Elio agreed. "It's a team that wouldn't care about the speed or Abomasnow would have a disdvantage against! The next one however... Lillie might finally get a break!"
Hau sighed in relief. "I hope one of us win's this tournament, no matter what I am still routing for you all," Gladion kept his smile as he went to the video phone, Elio understood the reason and let the Poipole out. "Crylate, there is a pokemon Hau has that you might want to meet!"
At the video phone, Gladion called home to the Aether line, with it being close to the evening, day has certainly came for Alola.
Riiiinnnnng! Gladion didn't even flinch at the sight of Lusamine picking up, but she certainly did and was about ask an employee to fetch someone as Gladion stopped her. "Don't! I assume it is day out?"
Lusamine yawned and sipped a tea cup. "Very much so, I assume you called regarding Mewtwo?"
Gladion nodded. "It's mostly because a... friend of ours, is coming to Alola to give the final check in regards to her memories. Anything you discovered?"
Lusamine smiled in excitement. "Two visitor's from Unova had found... or were led to a special mega stone, by that Darkrai. I assume the Darkrai must be yours?"
Gladion's smile turned to a frown. "If he is with Cresselia most of the time, it is. What did you do this time?"
Lusamine didn't even chuckle. "They came to search for any clues and it led to an agreement. A charming young man by the name of N would help point the way for Mewtwo, then our part will be complete," Gladion's frown turned to shock. "N?! Was Hilda even okay if you talking to him?!"
Lusamine heard a tone that spoke that she wasn't to go near N again. "I was told enough that someone exploited his gift. Besides that, the way he bond's with pokemon and how honest Hilda is with her opinion. That is all we know about them, they also have in their possession another mega stone that is for Mewtwo. A Mewtwonite Y," Gladion took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "It is best that it stays that way. The mega stone... you let them keep that one?"
Lusamine nodded. "It isn't needed, the point of doing this for Mewtwo is that she is able to go out on her own with a stable mind. It will take a long time for her to be able to properly mega evolve."
Gladion remembered a minor aspect of Mewtwo's mega forms. "Mega Mewtwo Y may be close to a form that Mew took during it's second attack."
Lusamine closed her eyes in trying to argue. "That Mew's forms during those times were... beyond unstable, most of them maybe accurate or something it's mind made because it can, mixing the DNA of what ever pokemon it was made up of," Gladion continued his theory, refusing to back down. "Her body may become much smaller and her tail will go to her head. It resembles more of the pokemon she was cloned from... Mew."
Lusamine took her son's words in, she knows mega evolution can trigger drastic mutations, she was about to say something as Gladion began to frown at what the forms meant. "The Mew took those forms because that was what they wanted him to be... a tool of conquest nothing else. We are ending the talk about Mew now!"
Lusamine felt relief and asked. "In regards to... what ever you and Lillie are doing on Uno-" Gladion answered. "If your watching the tournaments... please don't say anything, okay?"
Lusamine smiled and was awaiting a disconnect as she saw her son satisfied. "I will not speak of it, take care!"
Gladion pressed the disconnect button and turned around to find Elio's Poipole clapping at a Noivern, in addition to Hau's story about how it use to be a normal flying type instead of the dragon it became. Lillie arrived with a smile. "Mina has offered a comission for all of our pokemon for participating! Once the tournament finish's tomorrow, do you want to your pokemon to be a part of that?"
Elio and Hau smiled a yes, Gladion's business like frown and hostile glare to Poipole shifted to a smile at Lillie. "It would since they gotten this far!"
