EDventures in Kalos

by Insane Dominator

The Eds need to prove that they're better than the rest of the cul-de-sac kids at something, what if that "something" was from an unknown region? The Eds come across Professor Sycamore and he takes them to Kalos, where they have one shot at proving their skills. However, the cul-de-sac kids aren't too far behind them. Will the Eds triumph over the others and Eddy's rival, Kevin?

21. Mega Ed-volution

Chapter 21 – Mega Ed-volution

I am very satisfied with the plethora of Reviews I got for the chapter guys, that made very happy. Thank you guys so much! I love getting a lot of Reviews, so let's keep it up and more chapters will be coming your way! Time to answer some questions.

Shadow Lugia of Orre: I'll make that a note. I wouldn't wanna teach Ed's Stunky any of those moves when she evolves.

Guest: Sorry, but I'm denying your request. I'm not big on Transformers.

q-man: No, Korrina won't be joining the Eds on their journey.

I am very happy of the positive things you guys said as I scrolled through the Reviews; now let's get on with the program!

To Recap:

The Eds made it to Shalour City and ventured towards the Tower of Mastery, where Korrina's grandfather would give the Eds their Mega Rings once they've defeated Korrina, the Shalour City Gym Leader. Double D went first and used Type advantage, to which Korrina fought against and Double D learned that trust is more vital than Type. Double D's Whirlipede evolved into Scolipede and he won, earning him the Rumble Badge.

Chapter 21 – Mega Ed-volution

To make this plot move faster, Ed battled with his first choice being Stunky, of whom took out Mienfoo, but Machoke took her out. Fortunately, Fletchinder took over and took out Machoke, but the 'flaming chicken' fell by Hawlucha. That left Ed's Charmeleon to finish up and take the badge.

At this point, Eddy first used Frogadier to take out both Mienfoo and then Machoke, but Frogadier fell to Hawlucha, and Scraggy almost immediately after, leaving only Ivysaur and Hawlucha to be damaged greatly.

The two adversaries huffed as Hawlucha winced, feeling purple sparks engulf her. Hawlucha was greatly displeased that she herself failed to dodge Ivysaur's Poison Powder earlier. She got to a knee, having said accumulated a lot of damage. "(You're not…too shabby…)" Hawlucha admired.

Ivysaur was breathing quite heavily from when Hawlucha used a Hone Claws and Flying Press combo, leaving him with only little HP left. One more hit and it would've been over. "(Your Speed and Attack…are very…powerful…but your Defense isn't.)"

Hawlucha narrowed her eyes. "(Upset that your Double-Edge missed?)" She tried taunting.

Ivysaur shook the leaves on his body and he got in a ready stance. "(Let's go!)"

Eddy gave a command. "Razor Leaf! Ha!" Ivysaur fired multiple green-glowing leaves from the leaves on his back at Hawlucha, and they were coming in at an alarming rate.

"Hawlucha, dodge that!" Korrina commanded. Hawlucha easily dodged the Razor Leaf by jumping high into the air above, allowing her to look down at Ivysaur. The drawback was that she suffered even more poison damage and winced in the air.

Eddy clenched his fists. "Man that jumping's annoying." He complained. "I hate birds."

"Oh well, Flying Press!" Korrina commanded. Hawlucha followed through and she was outlined in white and proceeded to dive down onto Ivysaur, who was still fairly injured.

Ed was unable to keep the suspense and he clenched Double D's head, squeezing him like a plush toy. "Gah! Do something Eddy, your walking cabbage will be squished by the chicken!"

Eddy saw an opportunity as he saw Double D's battle earlier, as he remembered that Hawlucha could be thrown off balance easily and has to change trajectory. Eddy's wits allowed him to score an opening. "Okay Ivysaur, use Vine Whip and aim for that bird's feet!" Eddy commanded.

Ivysaur was a little taken back. "(She's coming in fast, and you want me to…?!)" Ivysaur just sighed. "(Oh what do I care? I got this!)" Ivysaur made a bold risk as the avian was coming down on him and he unleashed two vines from the sides of the bud on his back. The vines shot at Hawlucha at high speed and the Vine Whip shot right into Hawlucha's legs, making the Fighting and Flying-Type yelp and her upper body fell forward and eventually the Flying Press broke down into a casual fall, shocking Korrina and making her gasp.

Ed had released Double D from his death clutch and the brains of the Eds was on the ground, regaining oxygen as Ed had his eyes glued to the battle. "Ohhh. Go forth cabbage monster!"

Eddy moved his arm in an arc. "Now, Razor Leaf and finish this!"

Hawlucha had already felt pain from Vine Whip, and she had no balance as her HP was low, making her feel extremely tired. Hawlucha struggled as Ivysaur then fired multiple green-glowing leaves at her as she was falling onto him.

Hawlucha practically fell right into Razor Leaf, the leaves bombarding her and she yelped repeatedly as her entire body jerked as she was shot up as Razor Leaf kept going. Hawlucha yelled as she was soaring backwards at a downward angle.

"He shoots!" Eddy shouted. Hawlucha landed with a powerful thud, dust flying in a small area. "He scores!"

Finally composed, Double D took note of how Eddy used his wits. "That was clever. He threw Hawlucha off by hitting it at the legs, which are meant to be straight. By throwing off its balance, Eddy's Ivysaur was able to strike while Hawlucha was undefended."

"Good thing I don't eat turnips, huh Double D?" Ed questioned, to which didn't make any sense.

Hawlucha was on the ground on her back, the Fighting and Flying-Type was down for the count.

"Hawlucha is unable to battle, Ivysaur is the winner; therefore, the victory goes to Eddy of Peach Creek!" The referee announced with an arm raised for Eddy's side.

"Aw yeah! That's how we role baby!" Eddy shouted with excitement of his victory. He ran up to his Ivysaur with his usual energy and looked down at him. "Nice work veggie burger!"

Ivysaur merely grinned and he felt proud that he won against a harsh opponent. "(Not too bad with those wits of yours Eddy, though I'd appreciate you not calling me something edible…)" Ivysaur then jerked back up in shock as his level just went up. "(I leveled up…and…)"

Eddy blinked and he was watching as his Ivysaur right beside him was glowing light blue and an energy field enveloped the Grass and Poison-Type. "You've gotta be kidding me! You're evolving too?!" Eddy implied, astonished by his pokémon evolving after a gym battle.

Double D and Ed both ran up and were by Eddy's side as Ivysaur was shown to be growing and getting larger. Double D analyzed that Ivysaur was evolving into his final stage. "Eddy, it appears that your Ivysaur is going to be entering its final form." He told the short Ed boy.

"Seriously?!" Eddy exclaimed in shock. He looked back and saw the bulb on Ivysaur's growing back was blooming. Eddy stuck his tongue out between his teeth and rubbed his hands together in sheer anticipation. "Those losers are going down for sure!" He squealed.

They all saw how enormous Ivysaur had grown, which was almost as big as big as Scolipede. They had to take a few steps back because of how much room Ivysaur's large evolution took. When the light finally exploded, it revealed a squat, quadruped Pokémon with bumpy, bluish green skin. He had small, circular red eyes, a short, blunt snout, and a wide mouth with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and four pointed teeth in the lower jaw. On top of his head were small, pointed ears with reddish pink insides. He had three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on his back had bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower was supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds.

Eddy was too baffled for words, but was excited at the same time. "Check it out boys! My plant evolved!"

The creature turned his large head towards his trainer. "(I'm more of a reptile with a plant on his back, but who knows what I am these days?)" He questioned.

Eddy walked up and leaned against his newly evolved pokemon's side. "Ha! I'd like to see ol' shovelchin try and beat me now, huh." He boasted.

Double D just ignored the matter of Eddy's arrogance and proceeded to pull out his Pokedex and analyze the large creature.

"Venusaur, the Seed Pokémon. By spreading the broad petals of its flower and catching the sun's rays, it fills its body with power."

Venusaur just took in a good, deep breath and relaxed, knowing that the battle was over. "(That was energizing I guess.)" He casually implied.

Eddy stopped leaning on the big guy's back and patted his side. "Wait a stick it jungleback! All that training's paid off! We'll be a shoe-in for Champion!"

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we?" Double D implored. "You forget that we need more badges."

"Like the Herb Ranchers?" Ed dolefully.

Double D turned back towards Ed. "I do believe you are referring to the Urban Rangers, Ed."

Eddy frowned and had hands to his sides. "Don't remind me of those washouts Double D."

"And on that note." Korrina tried getting their undivided attention, to which she succeeded when everyone turned towards her. Korrina approached Eddy and presented the prize money. Eddy instantly grinned widely and he seized the cash and he stared at it, seeing that it was even more than last time.

The ref showed the badge to Korrina and she held it in front of Eddy, to which snapped out of his money trance in a flash. "Eddy, on behalf of your victory, I present to you the Rumble Badge." Korrina then placed it in Eddy's hand that he held out and the Ed boy took a closer look and chuckled at another badge obtained.

Ed walked closer to the group as Eddy was still in a chuckle and gawking at his badge. He turned towards Double D. "Did Eddy have fun Double D?"

"Unfortunately it's hard to tell." Double D sighed at Eddy's excitement.

Almost immediately after that, Eddy was presented with the TM for Power-Up Punch. Eddy then grabbed all of his winnings and he started to turn. "Guys, come on! It's time for something better than all of this!"

"Better than money Eddy? Boy, talk about a crowd pleaser." Double D said with some shock, hearing that Eddy wanted Mega Evolution more than money.

"He's right!" Korrina cheerfully implied, roller blading passed the guys and making Venusaur turn around as well. "Now that you three defeated me, it's time you get your Mega Rings! Let's go!" And with that said, Eddy returned his large plant thing and he and the others exited the gym and returned the roller skates to the front of the gym. They then followed Korrina onwards to the Tower of Mastery.

Reflection Cave – Kevin

Since you weren't allowed to ride your bike nor roller blade through the cave, Kevin had to guide his bike through the accursed place, to which made him grumble. His grumbling consisted of just the Eds and how he will be slowed down and he refused to let Eddy and the Eds get away with this.

"They're so close, I can feel it." Kevin told himself, looking about as he went north below the first floor. He grumbled still about the same stuff and he was spotted by a fellow trainer, who was looking at the mirror and noticed Kevin's reflection.

The man turned around. "Oh! Excuse me, may you have a moment?" He asked.

Kevin stopped and turned towards the guy. "Yeah? What for?" He asked disinterested.

The guy went over and blocked Kevin's way. "I'm a tourist and I challenge you!" The tourist declared, holding up a poke ball at Kevin.

"Say what?" Kevin aske in surprise and then got annoyed. "Hey, I'm trying to get somewhere man!"

The tourist shook his head. "It's either a battle or you fork over half of your money regardless, that's the rule." He explained.

Kevin clenched his clench and he was even more frustrated. He had no way out now. "Fine." He began to pace a couple steps back so they were battle distance. He then pulled out a poke ball. "This'll be over quickly."

"We shall see. Nidorino, come on out!" The tourist then threw a poke ball up in the air and out came his Nidorino, who clawed the ground.

Nidorino glared coldly at Kevin. "(You gonna stand there all day or what? Let's get this train rolling!)" Nidorino demanded sharply.

Kevin then took aim and threw his poke ball like a baseball. "Sandile, get in there!"

The poke ball popped open, revealing Kevin's Sandile at the ready. Nidorino was enveloped in a blue aura, meaning Sandile's Intimidate came into play. "(Ha! What's with that horn on your head ya purple hamster?)" The Ground and Drak-Type mocked.

Nidorino blinked and gawked that Sandile just went there. He was staring at Sandile in disbelief. "(..oh. Oh! You did not just say that!)"

Sandile's ego wasn't dented in the slightest by the opponent's aggression. "(Yeah, I said it. What are you gonna do about it?)"

Nidorino clawed the ground furiously as he was very, very tempted to charge after Sandile. "(You're gonna eat those words and choke on them.)" He growled insanely. The trainer called for a Horn Attack, to which Nidorino's horn glowed white and he began a harsh charge towards Sandile.

Sndile waited with a smirk on his face.

"Sand Tomb!" Kevin commanded. Sandile then raised his head and a sand vortex emerged from all around him. Sandile then fired the attack at the incoming Nidorino and the latter was swallowed up by the Sand Tomb, yelping in pain.

"Nidorino!" The trainer called out. He saw that Nidorino was stuck in place and was trapped in a sand vortex. "I'd never expected such a move to stop Nidorino."

Nidorino yelped as he was trapped inside of Sand Tomb, the Ground-Type attack damaging him greatly. "(You sick fiend!)"

Sandile paid no heed to Nidorino's anger. "(Was that all you were gonna do? Ram me?)" He asked unimpressed.

"Alright, let's crush that thing." Kevin said, punching his palm. He then held up a fist. "Show that thing what you're made of! Crunch, let's go!"

Sandile opened his mouth and his teeth glowed white and enlarged slightly. Compared to Bite, Crunch was stronger. Sandile lunged at Nidorino and he went for the horn that stuck out from the enclosed Nidorino and bit down hard on it, making Nidorino yelp in pain that was traveling from his horn to the rest of his body.

Sandile released and jerked back as the tight Sand Tomb brushed Nidorino even more, making him yelp again. Sandile smirked as Nidorino was panting inside his trapped barrier. His movements were restrained thanks to the lack of space.

"(You…little…)" Nidorino was boiling. If it weren't for Sand Tomb, he would've gone crazy on Sandile for pushing his ego.

Sandile kept his smirk as he felt all too confident. "(Are you surprised chump? Well there's plenty more where that came from.)"

As Sandile had just finished that sentence, he felt his level rise and he was engulfed in a light blue light. Kevin was blinking and he went wide-eyed. "Whoa." He marveled.

The tourist leaned forward, seeing what Sandile was doing. "Wh-what the-?! Y-Your Pokémon is…evolving!" He evaluated.

"No way." Kevin said in surprise. He watched as Sandile had enveloped in an energy field and had grown immensely, and the tail grew out as well. The legs grew and the arms extended out as well. Sandile then began to stand up on his two feet.

When the light exploded, it revealed a reptilian Pokémon with a mostly tan body, pink stomach, black back, and long tail. He had six thick, black stripes on his body: one at shoulder level, one around his midsection, one around his hips, and three on his tail. Each stripe was topped with a triangular spike on his back. The stripes on the midsection crossed two spikes, one on each side of his back. His arms were short and thin, with a black band around them at the elbow. Each hand contained three short fingers, each with a white claw. His legs were thick with a band around each ankle, and a stripe above the knee. His flat feet had three white claws. His head was ovoid with a long snout, and small eyes surrounded by a thick black membrane. Two of his front and rear teeth were visible overlapping his lower jaw. A black stripe sat on the bridge of the snout just behind his large nostrils.

The evolved creature opened his mouth and smirked. "(So you pink hamster, how do you like me now?)"

"Choice! I am so stoked!" Kevin exclaimed, anxious to try out the evolved pokémon. Kevin pulled out his Pokedex and analyzed the fairly large creature.

"Krokorok, the Desert Croc Pokémon. The special membrane covering its eyes can sense the heat of objects, so it can see its surroundings even in darkness."

Krokorok bit the air, showing off his biting force. He bit the air a couple times and glared back at Nidorino, who was slightly startled that his opponent had actually gotten bigger than him.

"Nidorino, do not let that thing get the best of you." The tourist pointed at Krokorok. "Use Poison Sting!"

Nidorino looked back at Krokorok and grunted. "(You will not beat me, even if you've evolved!)" Nidorino then fired multiple poisonous barbs at Krokorok through the Sand Tomb, but Krokorok easily shifted left and evaded without trying. "(Uh-oh!)" He then grunted as Sand Tomb brushed against him yet again.

"Alright, listen up!" Kevin ordered. "We're finishing this battle and those Eds are going down hard! Now finish this with Crunch!"

"(Music to my ears!)" Krokorok exclaimed. He opened his big mouth and his teeth glowed and enlarged. He lunged forward and he thrust through the Sand Tomb with absolute ease, biting into Nidorino's head and making him yelp. Krokorok then used his jaw power and he dragged Nidorino out of the Sand Tomb into the air overhead and he threw him into the earth behind him, making the Poison-Type yelp at Krokorok's Crunch power.

Nidorino easily fainted, and the tourist returned him and he walked up to Kevin and bestowed the prize money. Kevin took it humbly if not forcefully and he recalled Krokorok. He then resumed his arduous trek through Reflection Cave without hopping onto his bike.

Reflection Cave – Nazz and Rolf

"Gogo Nazz-girl, Rolf can feel Kevin-boy dwelling close by within this cave that shows one's soul." Rolf said as they trudged through the cave, not far off from Kevin's lead. Since Reflection Cave prohibited bikes and roller blades, that pretty much meant transportation in general, meaning Skiddo was in his poke ball and Nazz was guiding Wilfred with a carrot that was packed in Rolf's bag.

"Rolf, are you sure we're close by?" Nazz questioned, seeing Rolf lick some dirt and taste it. Rolf gave a curious look and he got out a glass he had and he put it against the ground, as if hearing from it.

"Mhm." Rolf got up and he sniffed the air suspiciously and he had fingers rubbing his chin. "Mhm." He turned around and walked back towards Nazz. "We are close spindle-shanks Nazz-girl. Rolf can tell that hotshot Kevin is of only a pace of that of a grazing cow. Come! The hunt to keep up with that swindler is on yet again!"

"Uh, sure Rolf." Nazz said nervously. She hasn't seen Rolf use his customs to track in awhile, but everything else throughout this journey, she had adapted to. She's adapted to riding Wilfred everywhere without hesitation, she isn't as demanding with makeup now like she was when this journey began, though she still wears it a lot, and she's also adapted to seeing weird food that Rolf conjures up. With a smile, she pressed on, holding a carrot up so Wilfred would follow.

Something struck Nazz's mind as they had paced further. "Hey Rolf, do you think we're close to finding the Eds?"

Rolf kept walking and he looked up with fingers on his chin yet again. "That is a fair possibility, she who is more curious than Wilfred for smells of answers." Rolf referenced, making the pig squeal as they pressed onwards.

Nazz got a little worried. "I hope they're okay…"

Rolf and Nazz, and Wilfed, stopped when another wild Pokémon that dwelled in the caves appeared. It looked like a spherical Pokémon with a body that was blue and covered in large, smooth facets. It had a hexagonal, yellow artifice in the center of its body, leading to a hexagonal opening. It had a brown, rocky oblong atop its head, and similar brown rocks that served as feet.

The rocky creature stood and looked at the duo before it and moved side to side with its feet. Nazz blinked and she pulled out her Pokedex to analyze the creature that stood before them.

"Roggenrola, the Mantle Pokémon. They were discovered a hundred years ago in an earthquake fissure. Inside each one is an energy core"

"Ah, so Rolf sees that we are dealing with that of the earth." The son of a shepherd indicated. He turned towards Nazz. "Very well, to whom shall be bestowed the honor of dueling the miniature boulder with feet?"

"Let me Rolf." Nazz genuinely said, walking forward. "You've already took down that Solosis earlier, and your Skiddo learned Seed Bomb as well." She reasoned as she pulled out a poke ball and showed it to Roggenrola. "Alright Kirlia, here we go!"

Kirlia appeared out of her poke ball with some cheerfulness in her twirl upon coming out. "(Let's engage in battle.)" She calmly stated.

Nazz moved her hand in an arc. "Alright Kirlia, let's use Magical Leaf!"

"(By the will of our spirits, we shall take action against you.)" Kirlia said. The Psychic and Fairy-Type then fired multiple glowing light green leaves from her hands at Roggenrola.

The Mantle Pokémon had acted by turning into solid iron, via Iron Defense, but that proved ineffective as Magical Leaf acted through Special Defense, in which Roggenrola failed to stop. The Rock-Type yelped its name as it tumbled backwards nonstop after being bombarded with the Grass-Type attack. When the Rock-Type had gotten up on its two feet, it only had one HP left. The reason being was because of its Ability, Sturdy.

The wild Roggenrola counterattacked by using Mud-Slap, in which it fired a stream of mud from its center.

Nazz wouldn't let a simple Mud-Slap slip her up. "No way dude, fighting dirty is not cool!" She scowled as the Mud-Slap was coming closer. "Send it back with Confusion Kirlia!"

"(You've brought this upon yourself.)" Kirlia warned as her eyes glowed and the Confusion had targeted the incoming Mud-Slap. Kirlia motioned her arm up and the stream of mud followed, changing trajectory with ease. Roggenrola saw that its attack was coming back at it as the Mud-Slap arched downwards, and added with the power of Confusion, this was not going to end well.

Roggenrola yelped one last time before being hit with a more pressurized version of Mud-Slap. The attack splashed into Roggenrola harshly, making the Rock-Type hurl backwards several more feet and laid on the ground, fainted and vanished just like that.

Nazz cheered. "Yeah, we won another battle Kirlia!"

Kirlia turned around towards her trainer and let lose a gentle smile. "(Yes Nazz, we did it once again. I'm just as glad as you.)"

Kirlia chuckled in glee and then she turned around to look at Nazz. Once she turned fully, het entire body began to glow light blue with an energy field emerging around her.

Nazz had her hands over her mouth and gasped in shock. "Kirlia, you're evolving!" She exclaimed with shock and excitement.

Rolf and Nazz watched as Kirlia grew much taller, the horns on her head were gone, and her tutu looked to be turning into a long skirt. When the light exploded, it revealed a white bipedal Pokémon with a lower body resembling a slim gown with a green underside. She had long, slender, white legs underneath the gown, and green hair that curled down the sides of her head. There were spikes on the side of her face, resembling a masquerade mask. She had green arms and long, slender fingers that resemble gloves. A red fin-like horn extended from her chest, and a shorter, more rounded horn extended from her back. A band of green on her chest extended to the centermost horn and connected to her sleeve-like arms.

The evolved being took in a relieving breath and looked down at a gawking Nazz with a smile. "(This is uplifting, I've evolved!)"

"Whoa, that's seriously cool." Nazz said with a huge chin on her face. "Kirlia, you've evolved again! How awesome!" Nazz got her Pokedex out and analyzed the new evolution.

"Gardevoir, the Embrace Pokémon. It has the power to predict the future. Its power peaks when it is protecting its Trainer."

"Awesome!" Nazz ran up to Gardevoir and hugged it, to which Gardevoir returned the hug. "This is too amazing!"

Rolf looked on with a grin while Wilfred looked off in a direction, sniffing about. "Rolf honors gogo Nazz-girl and her evolved one that resembled Nana in her younger years. Come aboard everybody, we must tend to our quest for the title of our badges!"

"Right, gotcha Rolf." Nazz returned her happy Gardevoir and the group continued with their tracking through Reflection Cave, very close at hand to catching up with their rival.

Route 11 – Jimmy

In haste to try and catch up, Jimmy was moving as fast as his physique could. The little boy with the snake tattoo on his head had just made it to the entrance of Reflection Cave. He peeked in and saw how he could see the various mirrors that were a fair distance away.

Sarah was catching up very fast behind him. As he was entering Route 11 earlier, he could've heard a shout from Geosenge Town, and he recognized the shout being from Sarah. She must have gotten there just as Jimmy left.

Since Jimmy had captured a Staravia not even a quarter mile ago, that made it so that he had seven Pokémon in his possession, but since he already had six, Staravia was send to his PC in a split second.

Jimmy had to move fast and he did; he ran into Reflection Cave with haste as he was determined to show that he was independent.

---

Route 11 – Sarah

Sarah had just caught the perfect Pokémon for herself – Snubbull. The little Fairy-Type was perfect for Sarah, for she had a big attitude and actually obeyed her. She was battling a wild Chingling, which was a yellow, spherical Pokémon similar to a bell. It had stubby arms and legs, as well as beady, black eyes. On either side of its mouth were large, black spot. Inside the mouth was a red orb. Atop its body were ring-like growth with a striped rope through the middle. The rope was red-and-white with short tassels on the ends.

"Go Snubbull, Bite that bell!" Sarah shouted with a laugh, enjoying seeing how Snubbull was beating up foes left and right.

"(I'm gonna savor this.)" Snubbull declared. Snubbull's mouth opened and she bit into Chingling's striped rope, making the Psychic-Type yelp. Snubbull thrashed about, making Chingling wail

"That's more like it!" Sarah shouted. Snubbull threw Chingling and Chingling landed with a thud. The Psychic-Type fainted. "Yes! That's my Snubull!" Sarah ran up with laughter and glee that she had her Pokemon actually did as she said, and in turn she was being nice to her. Sarah patted the grumpy dog's head. "Now those idiots on my team should really follow your example Snubbull."

"(Whatever, I'm just satisfied knowing I get to trash stuff.)" Snubbull reasoned. "(Those idiots just need to lighten up…)" Just then, Snubbull glowed light blue and was enveloped in an energy field.

Sarah backed up as she saw her Snubbull evolve. "Snubbull?!"

She saw Snubbull grow in height, the fangs on her face enlarged and her hands grew. When the light exploded, it revealed a purple, bipedal, bulldog-like Pokémon. She had a prominent lower jaw with two long, fang-like growths. Her upper jaw had two small fangs. On the sides of hers head were flat, curved ears, and her small nose was black. There was a black collar around her neck with two small white markings on it. Around her wrists were two black band markings, and had a short tail.

The big dog ruffed and she had her head bend downwards, because the fangs were pretty heavy. "(For crying out loud! Is my mouth really that heavy?!)" She frustratingly hollered.

Sarah jumped back in deep surprise. "Whoa! What the heck?!" Sarah was in surprise still as her evolved Fairy-Type was standing there with her head forward. "Just what in the world did you evolve into?" Sarah got out her Pokedex and analyzed her newly evolved pokémon.

"Granbull, the Fairy Pokémon. It can make most any Pokémon run away simply by opening its mouth wide to reveal its big fangs."

Srah looked back and acknowledged Granbull's huge fangs, to which she walked up and she gave a mean smirk. "Maybe Ed will be your new chew boy."

Hearing that, Granbull jerked in surprise and smirked like Sarah. "(I can't wait to sink my fangs into something again. Perhaps this Ed fellow will do quite nicely.)"

Tower of Mastery – The Eds

The Eds finally made it to the very top floor, after running up the large spiral staircase for an eternity. Eddy made it to the outside with hands on his knees and huffing and puffing. Ed fell flat on his side when he had reached the outside, but didn't look at all exhausted. And that left good ol' Double D, who practically crawled outside and was panting like his life depended on it. He fell on his side as well and he nearly passed out.

"Man...who decided…this tower…should be this…big?" Eddy panted, even he showed signs of fatigue, despite the energy he always gives.

"A cash register?" Ed answered, tilting his head upwards.

"Please Ed, let's not answer rhetorical questions." Double D implored, trying to get up but was so tired from the long venture up the Tower of Mastery. "On the bright side…we did find…a TM for…Low Sweep."

Eddy was beginning to settle with his breathing and he was the first of the group to see Korrina and the two Lucario from yesterday. He noticed that they were all looking out from the huge balcony. Eddy stared at the three and the other two Eds finally got to their feet, able to breathe, though mostly on Double D's part. They all looked out as Korrina continued to look out from the balcony.

"Okay, we're here. Now about that Mega Evolution." Eddy butted in, but it fell on deaf ears.

'(His aura, it's just like yesterday.)' The same Lucario thought that found Eddy interesting yesterday. '(It's like…this potential…)'

"I really love this place." Korrina said, ignoring Eddy's call. "When I'm here with my Pokémon, looking at the sky above, my worries disappear. And I feel like I can do anything!" She announced. Korrina then turned around and looked at the Eds and grinned. She roller blade closer and her two Lucario followed. The one that was pondering of Eddy grinned slightly. "You three, thank you for coming all the way up here."

"There's no need to thank us for what is required on our journey Korrina." Double D assured. "Why I am grateful that I-." He was just cut off when Eddy nearly dashed up towards her, making Double D spin in place.

"Alright, Mega Evolution time!" He eagerly squealed.

'(So much energy…so spirited.)' Lucario pondered still.

Korrina held up hands as caution. "Slow down Eddy. I know you're excited, but give me some space will ya?" She asked.

Realizing this, Eddy scooted back nervously in one swift and long step back over in front of his pals with a grin. He was aware that if he pushed himself, he may have to wait last to get his Mega Ring. "Er, my bad. What was it now?"

Ed blinked. "Are we going to eat french fries?" He asked, forgetting what they were doing.

Korrina sighed. "Sorry Ed, no time for food. This spot up here is where I shall entrust the Mega Ring over to you. You three, this is a legacy that'll be entrusted to you; make sure that with it, you'll set your sights as high as the sky."

Korrina then paused and then she pulled out three black bracelets. "Here you go Eds, your very own Mega Rings!" Korrina then proceeded and she went forward, giving the Eds their individual Mega Ring. She first entrusted one with Eddy, who was ecstatic beyond measurement, then Ed, and then blushed slightly when she entrusted the last one to Double D.

The Mega Rings were like bracelets that went on their left wrists. Eddy jumped and he looked at his in awe. "Check it out boys! WE GOT MEGA EVOLUTION BABY!" Eddy hollered aloud.

"Yeah! My buttocks has found the right seat Eddy!" Ed happily shouted.

"I too am very enthusiastic of this turn of events. This is very uplifting." Double D admired, turning his wrist to see his Mega Ring with the Key Stone inside.

The Eds were enraptured in their upgrades just a few minutes more and Korrina spoke once again as they settled down. "So guys, give your Pokémon the right Mega Stone and try battling with them. They should be able to answer your call and they'll unlock power just for you."

"Ha! Wait until Kevin gets a load of me now!" Eddy teased. "He won't stand a chance."

"Um Eddy?" Double D reminded him. "You're forgetting repeatedly. We must maintain our lead."

Eddy just groaned and his grin turned into a frown. "Man I hate it when I can't squash that boxhead and give him what he deserves."

Ed just giggled and then looked at Eddy. "But Eddy, I thunk that was why we left from where we were?" He questioned.

Eddy blinked. "Say what?"

"Ed's right Eddy. You seem too engulfed in beating Kevin that you have failed to realize a vital factor. True we may unlock Mega Evolution, but Professor Sycamore came to us by your anguish. The reason was because we were tired of them treating us malevolent, right?" Double D paused to allow a contemplating Eddy to process this. "So if we do allow Kevin and the others to catch up; not only would it be selfish, but it would show that Professor Sycamore's hard work for our sakes would've been in vain. Eddy, don't you see? We can't succumb to ambition. We must move on and venture onward!" He proclaimed with slightly more courage in his last remark.

Eddy blinked and thanks to his wits, he managed to understand. He looked out at the balcony, cross-armed. After a few moments, he looked back at the guys with a confident grin. "Okay! Forget shovelchin! It's the Pokémon League or bust!" Eddy proclaimed, running up to his pals and hopped on their shoulders, pulling them close as he looked up at the sky. "We're gonna aim for the top and let nothing stand in our way!"

"(His aura…it's even more potent than before.)" Lucario said.

The other Lucario turned towards him in confusion, and Korrina noticed how Lucario was strange. "Hm? Something wrong Lucario?"

"(His resolve…I feel the same.)" He clenched his fists and he grinned. "(Very well I've made up my mind.)" Lucario then walked as Eddy got down and Lucario stood by Eddy's side and looked at the new-found resolved Ed boy.

Eddy raised a brow. "Huh?"

"(I shall follow your dream for greatness.)" Lucario said towards Eddy.

Korrina blinked in surprise. "Lucario. Are you sure?" She asked, seeing a though she can understand him somewhat. "You wanna battle alongside that Trainer?"

Lucario turned back towards Korrina and nodded. "(I'm sure. He's got potential that I can see clearly.)"

Ed was astonished. "The coyote has switched sides!"

"That may be right Ed." Double D indicated. "Seems as though Lucario is fond of Eddy for some reason."

Korrina herself was in shock. Her Lucario had chosen Eddy over her. "I…I don't know what to say." She said slowly.

The other Lucario clenched his fists and he glared coldly at the Lucario that chose Eddy. "(There's nothing to say about that traitor.)"

Eddy's Lucario turned towards Korrina's Lucario. "(I'm following my heart, and he and I are much alike. We won't let ambitions of power best us.)"

Korrina continued. "I'm shocked that some traveling Trainer seems to have a stronger bond than I do. He must be something special."

Eddy took a puffed-chest pose and grinned. "Why thank you very much." He said in modesty. "What can I tell ya? Was I destined for greatness or what?"

"Oh brother." Double D groaned.

"I'm destined for the bathroom." Ed said, making Double D and Ed turn towards him.

"Please Ed, not now. We'll get you a bathroom as soon as we wrap up here." Double D assured him.

"Anyways." Eddy said slowly, turning back towards. "So where were we?"

"Right, whaddya say Eddy? Will you and Lucario battle against me and my Lucario? A Lucario-on-Lucario brawl! They both have their respective Mega Stones, so how about we start?"

"You took the words right out of my mouth." Eddy smirked.

"(We won't stop until we defeat you.)" Lucario declared.

Korrina's Lucario scowled at the traitor. "(I doubt you'll even stand a chance.)"

Double D looked on. "Oh my, this tension in the air is rather unsettling. Well, let's hope for the best for our fellow, Ed."

Ed looked back at the scene and grinned casually. "Can we get popcorn?"

"No time for snacks Ed, sorry." Double D informed.

Korrina grinned determinedly. "I can feel Lucario's passion. Maybe it doesn't wanna lose to my Lucario."

"(Like I'll let that weakling show me up!)" Korrina's Lucario scowled, walking up front.

"You ready to show them up Lucario?" Eddy asked. Lucario answered by walking in front, and everyone was battle distance apart.

Double D hurried towards the middle as a wind blew, giving even more tension in the air. "The battle between Korrina and Eddy will now commence. Each side may use only one Pokémon, and the battle will be over when one side's Pokémon is unable to battle."

"Ready, Lucario?" Korrina asked. Lucario nodded his head and then Korrina took in a deep breath. She then shouted the next part. "Let's give it all we've got!"

"You heard her Lucario! Let's throw down!" Eddy shouted. Lucario grinned and he also felt the anticipation.

Double D brought his hand down in a chop. "Let the battle begin!"

Korrina then grinned and then she held up her left hand. She had a Key Stone in her glove, via called the Mega Glove. She then poked the Key Stone with a finger from her opposite hand. "Alright Lucario, let's do this! Mega Evolve!"

The Key Stone glowed and emanated a strong light as Korrina then held up her Mega Glove high into the air. Lucario's then began to shine forth his own light and then the Mega Glove emanated light tendrils, as did Lucario. The Eds watched in deep awe as they witnessed Mega Evolution. The tendrils connected and the light shined even brighter. The connected tendrils disappeared as Lucario was in a multicolored light, somewhat similar to regular evolution. The saw Lucario had the appendages on the ears extend and lengthen, but that was the only noticeable change.

When the light exploded, it showed that his cream fur became longer, and his thighs slimmed down. He developed more spikes on the back of his paws, which had turned crimson. He also developed spikes on both of his feet, which had become crimson as well. His aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them were tipped in crimson. His shoulders also possessed a spike each. His aura heightened throughout his body, which formed black markings on his blue fur, which was slightly darker compare to normal.

A small ripple of air engulfed the area, signifying Mega Lucario and he roared. He then grinned as he looked at the startled Lucario, as well as Eddy. "(This is your last chance. Give up.)"

"Geez Louise." Eddy gawked at the Mega Evolution. "Just what kind of thing is that?"

"Oh my, so this is Mega Evolution." Double D said.

Ed gasped. "It's the coyote king!"

Eddy shook his head violently to be rid of any leftover shock and he looked at Lucario, who turned back towards Eddy and nodded. The Ed boy blinked and he grinned. "Oh yeah, well two can play this game! Let's show'em Lucario!" Eddy shouted, holding up his Mega Ring.

"(Let's show them what we're made up.)" Lucario said.

"Okay, let's…er, how do I use this thing again?" Eddy was left stumped to figure out how he uses the Mega Ring, to which he didn't know how. "Uh, do I just do this and-!" Once Eddy poked it with one of his fingers, the Key Stone lit up and Eddy jerked. Lucario's body also lit up and he too emanated tendrils. The tendrils came from the light and Lucario. When they connected, the tendrils became light and they disappeared as Lucario shined a multicolored light as well.

Lucario began to change as well. He was growing spikes on his hands and feet and the aura sensors growed. When the light exploded and the air ripple activated, it revealed Mega Lucario just as Korrina's Mega Lucario went through. He too roared.

"Oh, to cool! Copy battle!" Ed shouted.

"(You had your chance to quit, now you'll regret not doing so.)" Korrina's Mega Lucario said, getting in an offensive stance. "(You'll regret ever thinking you were better than me to begin with.)"

Eddy moved his arm in an arc. "Alright, lets…uh. What were your moves again?" Eddy had forgotten Mega Lucario's moves from yesterday and he pulled out his Pokedex.

"Mega Lucario's known moves are: Power-Up Punch, Swords Dance, Metal Sound,and Bone Rush."

Eddy put his device away and he tried to think as to where he left off. "Now where was I?" He pondered until he snapped his fingers. "Oh yeah! Mega Lucario, attack with Power-Up Punch!"

Eddy's Mega Lucario answered by having his fist being surrounded by red-orange aura and he then lunged at Korrina's Mega Lucario.

"(Here's my punchline for ya!)" Eddy's Mega Lucario shouted and he landed a vital blow on Korrina's Mega Lucario, who grunted and yelped as he flew backwards in the air and landed on his back with a harsh thud.

Eddy's Mega Lucario grinned and leaped back to maintain space. A red aura emanated from his body, signifying the Attack boost from Power-Up Punch.

Double D blinked as he was refereeing. "That was fast."

Korrina had a nervous grin on her face as she was expecting a strong offense. Given that Lucario was weak to Fighting-Type moves, that move was super effective. "You alright Mega Lucario?"

Mega Lucario slowly got up, feeling that attack in every inch of his body. He was on a knee and he turned his head up towards a grinning adversary, which made him mad. "(I've felt better.)" He admitted. He finally got to his two feet and scowled. "(I admit, you may be faster, but that still won't be enough to stop me fool!)"

"Power-Up Punch!" Korrina commanded.

"(Take this traitor!)" Mega Lucario shouted, doing his own Power-Up Punch and running up towards Eddy's Mega Lucario, making the latter eager.

"Oh no you don't! We're not falling for that one! Dodge!" Eddy commanded. His Mega Lucario took a big leap as Korrina's Mega Lucario was bringing his punch forward, effectively avoiding damage. "Alright, now let's take that walking coyote down!"

"(You didn't have to ask!)" Mega Lucario grinned as he was descending.

"Use that Bone Rush move and hit it!" Eddy commanded, not knowing what Bone Rush was.

In midair, Mega Lucario then put his paws together and then pulled them apart, creating a light green bone of energy. He then brought it down like an axe and Korrina's Mega Lucario went wide-eyed and leaped backwards, evading the downward Bone Rush that cracked the ground. Mega Lucario skid back as Eddy's came rushing forward with such haste as twirled his bone as he was bringing his right arm around. Korrina's leaped back some more and Eddy's repeatedly thrust his Bone Rush forward in swift jab-like motions.

Korrina's Mega Lucario dodged repeatedly, evading every strike. "(You're always so hasty with your attacks.)" He said. "(And that's why…)" He ducked as Eddy's Mega Lucario swung his bone like a bat.

Korrina made a punching motion. "Power-Up Punch!"

Mega Lucario then initiated Power-Up Punch from the downward angle he was in and punched Eddy's Mega Lucario's jaw, much like an uppercut. "(You will never win!)"

Eddy's Mega Lucario yelled as he was send soaring in the air and he flipped in midair and crashed on his back harshly, sending dust flying rapidly.

"That's gonna leave a mark." Eddy flinched, seeing that nice shot. He then remembered that this Mega Lucario was on his side. "Hey, we ain't done yet! On your feet, let's go!"

Mega Lucario grunted as his HP was on red from that solemn shot. He slowly got up and he got to his wobbly knees and he jerked as he was trying to stand completely. He was panting as that one blow had a lot of force.

Korrina's Mega Lucario smirked as he had a red aura that signified his Attack boost.. "(Face it, you'll never be better than me.)"

"We won't be beaten that easily Eddy." Korrina grinned. "I know all too well that the Lucario that's taken a shine to you is very hasty, being ever so reckless."

Double D looked on at the battle. "Boy, why does that sound familiar?" He sarcastically implied.

Eddy's Mega Lucario was panting and he growled at Korrina's Mega Lucario. "(Don't count…your Fletchling…before they hatch…you arrogant punk.)" Mega Lucario taunted.

"(Hm?! What did you say?!)" Korrina's Mega Lucario demanded.

"(You heard me. Eddy and I are the same. I chose him because we both have goals to get stronger and we'll climb to the top, no matter what!)" Mega Lucario answered. "(I understand him and he has friends that have his back, and I say we'll take you down together!)"

Eddy grinned. "Ya see? We ain't done throwing down yet. Let's get back in there Mega Lucario!" Eddy shouted, moving his arms in opposite arcs.

"(I hear ya! We won't stop until they're defeated!)" Mega Lucario smiled.

Korrina grinned once again. "I admire your spirit, it's really spicing up the atmosphere. Now let's get this battle over with!"

"I wish I had a turnip to stare at." Ed randomly said.

"Mega Lucario, Power-Up Punch!" Korrina commanded.

His fist was engulfed in red-orange aura and he dashed towards Eddy's Mega Lucario. "(You two are perfect, because there's no way you're better than us! Accept your place!)"

Eddy saw Mega Lucario turn back towards him and the Fighting and Steel-Type grinned at him and Eddy smirked slyly, his wits telling him to trust this one. "Alright Mega Lucario, tire it out! Intercept with Bone Rush!"

Mega Lucario then initiated Bone Rush and then he held out the bone with both hands as though he was using it as a shield. Eddy's Mega Lucario had the light green bone block the incoming punch. The two were at a stalemate and Korrina's was desperate to show that he wasn't to be bested with. He growled as Eddy's blocked with the Bone Rush and was still in the stalemate. Korrina's then went for another Power-Up Punch in a left hook and Eddy's swerved his head around and Korrina's kept punching while Eddy's was blocking and evading.

Korrina's let loose a yell and then punched forward with Power-Up Punch yet again, but Lucario drove his bone's end into the ground and he was clenching onto the other end and he used his muscle and he straightened himself straight upwards, as though he was in a frozen pull vault position, his feet high into the air and head and hands over the end of the bone. Korrina's punched forward, completely missing and hitting the bone instead, which shattered and was dispelled. At that very instant, Eddy's Mega Lucario flipped from the tip and he landed behind his adversary, startling the latter.

"What?!" Korrina exclaimed.

"Oh yeah! Let's bring it on home! Power-Up Punch!" Eddy commanded.

Eddy's then made a fist that was surrounded in red-orange aura and then brought his fist forward just as Korrina's was turning around. "(We'll never accept our place because we will never give up until the bitter end!)" Mega Lucario's Power-Up Punch scored a direct hit right in the middle of Korrina's Mega Lucario's body, making a shockwave of air emanate from the force and the latter screamed as he flew back several feet and crashed hard into the ground right in front of Eddy, making winds blow and dust fly about.

Eddy covered up as the attack's dust and wind was in his way. He opened his eyes once it settled and he and everyone else saw that Korrina's Mega Lucario was on his back and in a crater. Mega Lucario then had an energy field wrap around his body and his body flashed and then reverted back to normal. He had fainted.

"Check it out, it does go back to being regular." Eddy said, amazed. He then had a realization. "Wait! That means…!"

Double D raised an arm for Eddy's side. "Korrina's Mega Lucario is unable to battle, Eddy's Mega Lucario is the winner; therefore, the victory goes to Eddy!" Double D announced.

"Heehaw!" Eddy shouted. "That's how we role! Woohoo!"

Mega Lucario turned back towards Eddy and grinned. He also was engulfed in an energy field and he flashed, reverting back to himself. "(You should never count us out.)"

"Nice work ya coyote!" Eddy called out.

"(Not bad yourself!)"

Korrina clapped her hands, congratulating the duo and getting their attention. "What an incredible bond you two have, that was amazing power." She said. She walked passed Eddy's Lucario and she knelt down towards her defeated Lucario, who was beginning to come around.

"Lucario, that was a well-fought battle." Korrina praised.

Lucario grinned and then grinted as he still felt pain. True he can't battle because he had no HP, but he regained consciousness for a little while. "(Thank you Korrina.)" He replied tiredly.

Eddy's Lucario made it back to his side and his friends gathered around to praise him. Double D was the first. "Eddy, that was a very good battle. I'm so proud of the bond you and Lucario share."

Ed then immediately butted in by giving Eddy a crushing hug from behind. "A hug for our victor!" Eddy's face was purple and he looked like he was gonna pass out. Ed managed to let Eddy down and he breathed in oxygen again.

Korrina giggled. "Well, that was an explosive battle! Both Mega Lucario held nothing back." She stated. "With strong bonds like that, you shouldn't have any trouble with Mega Evolution."

"Gee, thanks." Eddy said with some hints of modesty.

"(So now you see my resolve?)" Eddy's Lucario asked, still fairly tired towards the barely conscious Lucario.

Korrina's Lucario grunted. "(Fine, but I was caught off guard.)" He wouldn't admit defeat that easily, but with Eddy's Lucario giving him a despondent stare, Korrina's Lucario sighed. "(But I guess you've gotten your point across.)"

Korrina looked at Double D with pink cheeks quickly and she looked at Lucario by Eddy's side. "Eddy, I'd think it's best that you took that Lucario with you on your journey."

Eddy looked in shock as he heard Korrina's offer. "Really?!" He squealed.

Double D was also surprised. "Oh my. Korrina, are you sure this is the right choice?"

Korrina looked back at Double D with a smile. "Yes Double D. I'm sure." She then turned back towards Eddy and Lucario. "It's obvious you two make for a good team."

"Huh?" Eddy was slightly confused that this pokémon beside him had bonded so quickly and wanted to tag along. He turned towards Lucario, who in turn did the same.

"(She's right, can I accompany you?)" Lucario offered.

It didn't even take two seconds for Eddy to come up with an answer. "HECK YA!" He shouted. "With Lucario on our side, we can't lose! Victory, here we come!"

Korrina nodded and she gave Lucario's poke ball towards Eddy, who accepted it. "As long as Trainer and Pokemon care about the other, the world will be full of smiles."

"(Hey.)" Korrina's Lucario said. Eddy's Lucario looked back and the two stared at the other for a short while until Korrina's Lucario smiled. "(You take care.)"

Eddy's Lucario jerked in surprise of this kindness and support, but accepted it with a nod and smile. "(I shall. This is farewell until we meet again.)"

Korrina's Lucario grinned before he started blacking out and Korrina took notice and she returned him and looked at his poke ball. "Good job today." She then looked back at the group. "You three, take care of yourselves on your journey for greatness. I'll be cheering for you."

Eddy returned Lucario and he and Ed both turned back and waved. "Will do. Take care Gym Leader chick!"

"Until thy butter is sliced by one's fine knife!" Ed exclaimed back at Korrina. He then started walking inside and down the tower and turned towards Eddy. "Tell me a story Eddy."

"Wait up fellows!" Double D rushed to catch up with his pals.

"Double D." Korrina said, making him stop and turn around and face her. He saw Korrina slowly roller blade up towards him and smile. She stopped in front of him and she stared at him. Both of their faces turned pink slightly, and then the most surprising thing had happened.

Korrina leaned in and gave a quick peck on Double D's cheek, making the brains of the Eds turn red entirely from embarrassment. Korrina backed away and giggled at Double D blushing up a storm.

"I-I…uh…oh my…" Double D was at a loss for words. He had never seen that one coming.

Korrina kept her smile on her face and spoke. "You take care now Double D. Okay?"

"I uh, you too Korrina." He nearly stumbled on his words, walking backwards with his hat pulled down to try and cover his red face. "Y-You…take care now!" And then he turned and made his way down towards the others, leaving Korrina to look up at the sky and allow the winds to pass by.

As the Eds made their way down, Eddy finally noticed that Double D had caught up behind them and his face was still red. Eddy looked back as he was still running down the tower stairs. "Hey sockhead, what's with you?" He asked in his usual harsh tone, with Ed between them.

Ed tilted down even more as his feet kept moving forward, as though he was playing limbo and running at the same time, in order to see Double D's face. "Maybe he needs to go to the bathroom."

Eddy just shrugged it off and he looked forward. "Bah! Who cares, we'll go to the bathroom when we hit the Pokémon Center on our way out! Let's pick it up boys!" And then the Eds just ventured onwards down the tower to heal up and depart.

Little did they know, a certain jock just got out of Reflection Cave and he had a big grin on his face, feeling them ever so closer than ever. "Dorks."

And that's what I call a cliffhanger. You all are asking to see Eddy go up against Kevin, but don't get ahead of yourselves. You'll get something of that sorts at least in the next chapter or two.

Since the Route between Shalour City and Coumarine City is fairly short, I guess the gym battle may be in four or five chapters. You might be baffled as to what I have in store for you guys.

Please Favorite, Follow, & Review this story and/or chapter if you guys are loving the battles and character development that I had given the Eds and support this story.

Remember to leave a bunch of positive and happy Reviews like last chapter!
