Chapter 31: The Duo of Evolving Elements

Location: Great Greens Forest

Still at the forest area, the Heroes are continuing onward towards their next destination, Sky High City. For now, everyone takes a break in the route to rest and recuperate, or in Ash's case, to train.

It's a battle with Ash and Sonic against Misty and Blaze. Sonic needs to get ready for the upcoming Gym Battle.

Misty starts, "Blaze, use your Flamethrower!"

Blaze shoots out bursts of flames from her mouth.

Ash calls, "Dodge and use Hydro Sphere!"

Sonic dodges the attack and forms a sphere of water from his hands. He sends it to attack her.

Misty defends, "Light Screen!"

Blaze creates a wall of light to soak some of the damage out of the attack.

Misty attacks, "Now, Fire Pillar!"

Blaze sends out spinning pillars of gushing fire near Sonic. Sonic dodges each pillar carefully.

Misty calls, "Now, Blaze! Sol Scepter!"

Blaze brings out her royal scepter and shoots out a wind orb from it. The attack strikes Sonic while he was dodging the last fire pillar. He quickly recovers from the attack.

Ash replies, "Come on, Sonic. You need to keep an eye out on a series of attacks that can come through. Chances are, speed will be the focus in this upcoming Gym battle."

Sonic agrees, "Yeah. I think so, too. It will be a bit troubling for me since I can't fly... yet."

Blaze says, "Sonic..."

Misty smiles, "Do what you can with what you have, Sonic. What you can do more than makes up for what you can't."

Sonic nods, "Alright, Misty."

Misty attack, "Now, let's continue. Sacred Fire!"

Blaze quickly forms fire below Sonic.

Ash calls, "Use Agility to dodge it!"

Sonic swiftly avoids the vortex of fire that shot out from where he was standing.

Ash follows up, "Now, Star Ice Punch!"

Sonic rushes in quickly with a very cold induced fist.

Misty commands, "Blaze Kick!"

Blaze's feet are enveloped in flames. Both of their attacks collide, resulting in a stalemate.

Misty follows up, "Now, go for a Magma Tornado!"

Blaze creates a large, very hot flaming tornado. Sonic gets sucked into the tornado and takes some damage.

Ash supports, "Get out of that tornado, Sonic!

Sonic spins around and eventually frees himself from the tornado, coming out into the air.

Ash attacks, "Hydro Pump!"

While slowing falling, he shoots out a huge pressure of water from his hands.

Misty counters, "Avoid the attack and use your Hero Beam!"

Blaze gets out of the way of the rushing water and attacks with a powerful beam that has a pink aura. Not expecting the attack, Sonic takes a very hard hit, resulting in him falling to the ground hard.

Ash calls out, "Sonic!"

Blaze smirks, "Is that all you got, Sonic?"

Sonic chuckles, "Heh heh. I'm not finished just yet, Blaze!"

Sonic gets up from the ground. Water energy slowly starts to surround him, until he is enveloped in a coat of aquatic energy.

Sonic smiles, "Now, it's really on, Blaze."

Blaze wonders, "What is that, Sonic?"

Ash explains, "Oceanic Rush is a move Sonic came up with while we trained with Shadow once before. It's inspiration from Shadow's Chaos Boost."

Misty says, "That does make sense."

Ash continues, "With it, Water attacks don't do as much damage to Sonic, while his water attacks deal more. There's one more effect that it can do, too. Let's show them with your Homing Attack!"

Sonic forms a ball in the air, which becomes powered by water energy surrounding the ball. He rushes towards Blaze.

Blaze sweatdrops, "Ohh boy..."

Blaze becomes hit by a ton of damage and falls to the ground.

Misty frowns, "Blaze..."

Blaze slowly gets up, "... That really hurt."

Sonic grins, "Was that awesome or what? All my Normal type moves like my Spin Dash, or in the case of my Homing Attack, becomes a Water move."

Misty calculates, "Because of how Sonic gains more powerful from being the same type as the Homing Attack, combined with the extra boost thanks to Oceanic Rush, and being super effective... suddenly, Homing Attack becomes crazy powerful!"

Blaze compliments, "Even with being super effective... just having the boost like that for your moves makes them so much more potent. You really know how to surprise, Ash!"

Ash sheepishly chuckles, "Heh heh heh..."

Misty declares, "Well, we're not giving up! We still have more fight within us."

Blaze flares, "You know it! Come on, Sonic!"

Sonic grins, "Bring it on!"

Their battle continues onward. Meanwhile, the spectators of the match are amused with what just happened.

Silver cheers, "Wow! That is awesome!"

Batthan smiles, "Indeed! Boosting your own elemental power like that can make a huge difference. I am reminded of Mario when he uses a Fire Flower on himself."

Luigi says, "I can do that, too."

Max remembers, "Yeah. You have a flower you can use like the Fire Flower, right, Luigi?"

Luigi confirms, "That's right, Max."

Meta Knight comments, "The different styles and techniques each Pokémon can bring... what excellent learning experiences they can be."

Meanwhile, in a camp on a faraway route, while Godzilla takes a snooze on the ground, Tikal is fishing in a nearby river. Next to her seems to be an egg of some kind.

Tikal smiles, "I can't wait until you hatch, my friend. The fact that I can sense that you aren't a Pokémon means that I can be right at home. Speaking of which, I wonder how Chaos is doing back at our home..."

A few minutes later, Estevan walks up to the two and informs them, "Tikal, Godzilla, you need to hear this!"

Tikal says, "I hope this is very important. I am hoping to catch a fish we can eat. Of course, Pokémon is possible to catch, too. Ohhh! I have a bite!"

Tikal reels in her catch. She ends up finding a Feebas.

Tikal sighs, "I have no interest in a Pokémon. Back in you go!"

Estevan shouts, "No wait, don't-"

She sends Feebas back into the river.

Estevan finishes, ... release it." He sighs and facepalms, "That was a rare Pokémon you just caught, Tikal. I could have had a Milotic."

Tikal wonders, "Would you really want a Milotic, Estevan? Is that one of your personal favorites?"

Estevan says, "Well I... wouldn't really say that. I just think it could have been cool, that's all."

Tikal says, "We already have these Kaiju to worry about as it is."

Godzilla wakes up and yawns, "... Did somebody call for a Kaiju?"

Tikal explains, "No. I was just trying to fish and watch over this egg when Estevan came along. You... you said that you had something we needed to hear about?"

Estevan nods, "Yeah. You awake, Godzilla?"

Godzilla confirms, "Yeah, yeah! What do you want?"

Estevan becomes serious and states, "I got just a read on Kaiju."

Godzilla perks up, "You do?"

Estevan adds, "Yeah. But, it's not all good news. This could, in fact, be troubling for a nearby city."

Tikal gasps, "That's not good. We need to get over there right now. So, where are the Kaiju going to strike at? And who are we dealing with?"

Estevan prepares, "Well..."

Back to our Heroes, Claire and VIVIT are about to take action.

VIVIT insists, "Come on, Claire, now's your chance. Ask him!"

Claire worries, "What if he says no?"

VIVIT reminds, "You'll never know unless you ask, right? Well, ask him!"

Claire accepts, "Alright... here goes!"

Claire walks up to Brock, who is currently talking to Sakuya about cleaning and cooking, and Mario, who is nearby, is watching the training with Blaze and Sonic from a distance. VIVIT and Chansey follow her.

Claire calls, "Umm... excuse me, Brock."

Brock smiles, "Oh, Claire. Is there something you need?"

Sakuya and Mario notice the conversation and listens in.

Claire says, "Well, Brock... there is something that I've wanted to say to you for a while now. I'm not quite sure how to put it."

Sakuya wonders, "Huh?"

Brock says, "You can tell me anything, Claire."

Claire slightly blushes, "Well, okay. Brock... I love you!"

Brock shocks, "HUH?"

Sakuya and Mario widen their eyes, "What?"

Brock stutters, "W-w-what did you say?"

Claire blushes and repeats, "I said I love you!"

Brock silences, "..."

Claire explains, "The way you treat Pokémon, the kindness you give, the fact that you and your Hero Pokémon are amazing cooks, and the love you give to your Pokémon and your friends... it really amazes me."

Brock blushes, "Claire..."

Claire continues, "With you training to become a Pokémon Doctor, and me being a Pokémon Nurse, well... I think it can work out."

Mario smiles, "Ohhh, yeah..."

VIVIT blushes with the love given out as well. Something inside of her sparks her body and induces it with love.

VIVIT thinks, "Can it be?"

Claire continues, "I don't know if you will accept me though... what with your... crush on other women."

Brock ponders, "Ohhh..."

Brock quickly remembers that he falls in love with women a lot. He only had one woman that he truly loved and said that he loved, and that was with Professor Ivy. But... things didn't go well with that. However, his heart has fully healed since a while ago and he is ready for another girlfriend.

Brock scratches his head, "Well... I wouldn't say that, Claire."

Claire says, "Huh?"

Brock remembers, "I... almost got married once. I was ready to commit then. But, things didn't go well at all."

Claire silences, "..."

Brock smiles, "Just hearing your words from your mouth, I love you, really makes me warm... and happy. I've always wanted to find that special someone. Today, I think I've found her. Claire, I love you, too!"

Claire blushes greatly. Sakuya blushes and Mario grins and becomes cheerful.

Claire confirms, "Brock, does this mean...?"

Brock accepts, "Yes... it does, Claire! I want for us to be together!"

Claire sheds a few tears and hugs Brock passionately.

Sakuya sobs, "Well, this is quite unexpected. Congratulations, you two."

Mario cheers, "Bravo! Way to go! This is super amazing to have happened! Woohoo!"

VIVIT cheers, "You did it, Claire! I knew you could do it!"

Chansey expresses, "Chansey! Channnsey!"

Mario figures, "To think that your crushes with many Nurse Joys have finally come to fruition."

Claire sweatdrops, "To be honest, I do not remember what you did to me prior to our first meeting in Hoenn. But, you have a wonderful passion and a great heart for girls. I wish for your passion to be expressed with me, Brock."

Brock sighs, "It won't be easy, Claire. Now, I have to tone my desires down for other girls."

Mario adds, "Especially when it comes to many other Joys we will surely meet along the way."

Claire desires, "One thing, Brock. If we have a girl, and she ends up being a lot like me, I'm naming her."

Brock agrees, "Okay."

Sakuya suggests, "... Of course! Since you are now officially together, why don't we create a Hero Bond?"

Claire smiles, "A Hero Bond? That's an excellent idea!"

Brock agrees, "Yes! It's perfect!"

Mario frowns, "Ohhh, but... we can't do that. You need to have a Hero Pokémon for us to form a Hero Bond, Claire."

Claire worries, "Ohh, no. What do we do?"

VIVIT steps in, "I think I know what to do about that!"

Claire wonders, "VIVIT?"

VIVIT smiles, "Just now, with your displaying love with Brock, it really got my insides all tingling and full of strong emotions. I know this as an Inspirational Feeling."

Claire gasps, "Does this mean...?"

VIVIT says, "Yes! I can be your Partner-for-Life... if you will accept me, that is!"

Claire clarifies, "You were the one who helped me talk to Brock in the first place. Not to mention that I find you incredibly useful and helpful, VIVIT. I've liked you so much since we first met. And I hope to do many more wonderful things with you as my partner. I accept!"

VIVIT cheers, "Alright!"

VIVIT sobs and hugs Claire.

Mario cheers greatly, "Woohoohoooo! Not only do they have two new partnerships formed, but we've become a part of a Hero Bond as well!"

Sakuya smiles, "They can also be helpful with cooking alongside with us. VIVIT is perfect because she is also a maid. And I'm sure those two lovebirds would make amazing dishes together. Considering how our group is becoming bigger overtime, their help is greatly appreciated."

Mario nods, "Ohh, yeah! I am so happy! It makes me really want to see Peach. I just wish I knew where she is..."

Claire smiles, "It's time for us to form our Hero Bond."

Brock asks, "There are no objections from any of you guys, right?"

VIVIT approves, "You should know my answer."

Mario accepts, "I've been wanting this for so long!"

Sakuya nods, "We're all ready for this, Brock, Claire. Let's do this!"

The five of them gather together in a circle and are linked together by holding hands.

Mario asks, "What shall our name for our group be?"

Claire ponders, "Hmmm..."

Sakuya suggests, "Let's have the elegance of our cooking and our status as our group be represented. How about Brock's Elegant Bond?"

Brock agrees, "Sounds great! Does everyone agree?"

Mario, VIVIT, and Claire nod in agreement.

Brock says, "Alright. Then, let's go over who will say what, then."

After briefly discussing the lines, they close their eyes and begin the ritual. In the distance, while traveling through, Sanae notices the five forming a Hero Bond.

Sanae gasps, "No way. Brock and Claire are... Hey, you guys!"

Sanae starts to inform everyone that the two are forming a Hero Bond with their Heroes. Speaking of which, they begin by saying their lines.

Sakuya becomes silent, "..."

Mario quotes, "The ties of Heroes are like tether."

VIVIT quotes, "We wish to form a bond together."

Claire quotes, "Let our love be the holder..."

Brock quotes, "May the light tie us closer!"

A warm and glowing light shines in the middle of their formation. It fades away after five seconds. The other Heroes approach them as they see the ritual take into effect.

May gasps, "No way!"

Sanae confirms, "You see? They just formed a Hero Bond!"

Tina wonders, "Hold on... why is VIVIT a part of the bond?"

Knuckles confirms, "VIVIT is... Claire's Partner-for-life!"

Dawn asks, "How do you know that, Knuckles?"

Knuckles clarifies, "First of all, the rule to forming a Hero Bond is that there must be two humans, and each human must have at least one Hero Pokémon."

Tails senses, "Second, we can feel their bond all the way from here. It's a Hero Pokémon thing."

Dawn says, "I see..."

Batthan smiles, "Well, this is quite a surprise. Who would have guessed that Brock would settle down with someone."

Salem expresses, "Brock is feeling the love tonight! Ohh yeah!"

Brock senses, "Wow! I feel... a little different."

Claire agrees, "Me too."

Sakuya confirms, "It appears that the Hero Bond is complete."

Claire declares, "This is quite a shocking turn of events."

Brock asks, "How is that?"

Claire explains, "Because, not only do I have my own Hero Pokémon, but I also have your Heroes as well."

Brock adds, "I suppose so. I guess that means that I can work with you, VIVIT."

VIVIT smiles, "I don't mind... I really like you, Brock."

Brock blushes, "I like you, too."

Sakuya smiles, "We are now together. I'm very happy to share this occasion with you all."

Mario jumps for joy, "Wahoooo! This is such a wonderful occasion! Group hug!"

The five all hug each other. A few seconds after, everyone applaud for their new bond.

Tina cheers, "Yaaaay!"

Batthan cheers, "Alright, Brock!"

Ash says, "Congratulations, you guys!"

Brock wonders, "Huh?"

Claire asks, "You all noticed?"

Sanae points out, "Well, that bright, warm light isn't exactly something that's easily missed, you know."

Zoey gleams, "It's so amazing!"

Silver counts, "Looks like we have our third Hero Bond in our group."

Meta Knight expresses, "Fantastic!"

Iris dreams, "A Hero Bond... ohhhhh! I would love to be together with someone. Maybe..."

Iris looks admirably at Tina.

DK scratches his head, "Ooooooh?"

Linde asks, "What's the name of your Bond?"

Sakuya answers, "Brock's Elegant Bond."

Reimu admits, "Fits your group perfectly!"

Misty confirms, "So... does this mean that you won't do any more flirting with women?"

Brock answers, "It will be kind of hard to resist, but I will definitely try not to."

Claire smiles, "That makes me happy."

Mario formulates, "Hey, here's an idea! Would you mind if you two would help us with the cooking and cleaning?"

VIVIT agrees, "I would love to. I am a maid after all."

Claire frowns, "I don't know. It seems kind of hard."

Brock assures, "Don't worry, Claire... it's not as hard as it seems."

Sakuya adds, "Absolutely. Especially with the five of us splitting the work."

Claire accepts, "Well... why not? If I can become closer to you, I wouldn't mind at all."

Brock smiles, "Awww, Claire..."

Claire kisses Brock in his cheek. He blushes in excitement.

Tina blushes, "How cute! Now I kind of wish I had a boyfriend."

Chansey cheers, "Chansey, Chansey, Chanseeeey!"

Chansey jumps for excitement and starts to evolve.

Claire gasps, "No way!"

Brock laughs, "Hahaha! It just keeps getting better!"

Claire's Chansey evolves into Blissey.

Blissey says, "Blissey!"

Claire replies, "That's amazing, Blissey. You evolved!"

Mario expresses, "Blissey is an even better beauty! Woohoooo!"

Blissey slightly blushes, "Blissey Bliii..."

VIVIT states, "Well, this has been one amazing day for us!"

Max says, "I'm so happy for everyone!"

Youmu agrees, "I am, too."

Blaze feels, "This has gotten me even more inspired than before. Come on, Sonic, let's continue our battle!"

Sonic agrees, "Okay!"

After all of the events that have just happened, they continue on with their break/training. Meanwhile, not too far ahead from where they are...

A man says, "Man, I wish I could find those stones. They are so hard to come by."

He walks while thinking about something important.

A man says, "Those stones are the secret to my victory. My Magmar and Electabuzz sure do need it... Huh?"

He looks ahead of him and sees a large group of Pokémon and humans.

A man says, "Whoa! What's going on over there?"

The man makes an approach for them.

And back to our Heroes. Iris and DK are currently swinging around the vines in the forest, having a good time.

Iris cheers, "Wooooo! This is so much fun! I love that we can do this together, DK!"

DK exclaims, "Oooooh ooooooh! This may not be a jungle, but I love vine swinging with Iris!"

Axew expresses, "Axeeeeew!"

Iris smiles, "Glad you're having fun, Axew! Let's keep going! Wheeeee!"

Tina giggles, "Look at you go, Iris. What a wild gal!"

Reimu recalls, "So... do you guys know whatever happened to Samus?"

Knuckles remembers, "Samus? That bounty hunter we met?"

May says, "It's kind of interesting that you would bring that up. Didn't she said that she was going on a mission? And that when she would be back, she may join our team?"

Tails confirms, "That's right!"

Luigi wonders, "I wonder where she is, now..."

Reimu assures, "I'm sure she'll be back."

Brock agrees, "I think so, too!"

Linde ponders, "King Marth... I hope you and Queen Caeda are doing well."

Alice asks, "Who are you talking about?"

Linde answers, "They are two Hero Pokémon from my world. And they are a big deal in my continent of Archanea."

Alice wonders, "How come?"

Linde explains, "King Marth was the grand leader of our army. He led our troops to win against great evil. Queen Caeda was just as part of our wars as King Marth was, and the two are married."

Alice says, "I see..."

Meta Knight recalls, "We ended up meeting someone from your world, Linde. A boy named Donnel. But, it would seem that he is from a different continent."

Linde states, "There are so many continents around our world, and many different factions and kingdoms that represent each continent. We all share very similar weapons and items, but what kind of attributes, classes, and other things each continent possess can depend on that continent."

Batthan ponders, "These worlds have many different possibilities. It would be nice if I could visit some of them."

Linde agrees, "I would like to as well."

Dawn smiles, "I would love to see what kind of friends you made in your world, Linde."

Linde smiles, "I have a lot of them. I just wish... I could see some of them."

Silver says, "Makes me curious on how many Heroes from your world came to this world."

Linde ponders, "Hmmmm..."

Max pets Cyndaquil's head. Max asks, "How are you doing today, "Cyndaquil?"

Cyndaquil smiles, "Cynda!"

Cyndaquil's back releases it flames.

Max become curious, "Ohhhhh. I wonder..."

Max slowly approaches his hand towards the flames. He suddenly feels a brief burning sting.

Max expresses, "Owwww! That burns..."

Cyndaquil cools its flames and frowns, "Quil..."

Misty goes up to Max and warns, "Be careful, Max. You should know better than to touch those hot flames."

Max clarifies, "I was just curious if these flames were really hot or not."

Misty compares, "It's not like Ponyta's flames where they become less dangerous to a person as they grow a bond together. You should also know that if the flames on Cyndaquil's back goes out, it can't use fire attacks, anymore."

Max wonders, "Really?"

Misty adds, "Yeah. It needs to learn to maintain those flames for as long as possible. Ash had to learn that when his Quilava was still a Cyndaquil. It'll likely be the same for your Cyndaquil, Max. So make sure you keep that in mind."

Max notes, "I got it, Misty. Thanks! You're so cool, Cyndaquil!"

Blaze and Sonic finishes their long training section for the day.

Sonic suggests, "I think... that's enough for today."

Blaze agrees, "Yeah..."

Misty smiles, "That was a great battle, Ash."

Ash nods, "Yeah. We'll be ready for the Gym in no time!"

Pikachu says, "Pika Pikachu!"

Ash ponders, "Hmmm... I need to start training up Rufflet. Especially since there is also the PokéRinger competition to worry about."

Blaze compliments, "Great job, Sonic!"

Sonic returns it, "I think you did an awesome job as well, Blaze!"

A man replies, "I think the two of you have done a super job.

Blaze says, "Why, thank you... huh?"

The four hear an unfamiliar voice and turns around to see a male trainer. His name is Dave.

Dave waves, "Hi, my name is Dave. I'm a Pokémon Trainer."

Ash greets, "My name is Ash! This is my buddy, Pikachu."

Pikachu says, "Pika Pikachu!"

Ash introduces, "This is my Partner-for-life, Blaze, my girlfriend, Misty, and her Partner-for-life, Sonic."

Dave admires, "Hero Pokémon. That's so cool!"

Misty agrees, "It really is cool."

Dave expresses, "I saw you two battle a little bit, and wow... you were awesome!"

Blaze smiles, "Thanks!"

Dave wonders, "And... who are they?"

He points to the other Heroes that are around the area.

Ash says, "They would be all of our traveling friends."

Dave exclaims, "Wait... WHAT?"

The other Heroes realize that someone new has approached them and they all listen to his story.

Dave explains, "So, I wanted to ask you all something. You see, I'm looking for something... something important."

Sabrina wonders, "What are you looking for?"

Dave summons, "Well first, I'll show you my Pokémon. Come out, you two!"

Dave brings out his Magmar and Electabuzz.

Magmar says, "Magmaaaar!"

Electabuzz says, "Electaaa!"

Batthan smiles, "A Magmar and Electabuzz? Pretty cool."

Dave continues, "Thanks. You see... I'm looking for the stones I need to evolve these two Pokémon. I've been wanting to find them for quite some time, but I am unable to find them."

Silver wonders, "The stones? What stones?"

Batthan recalls, "If I remember, they would be the Magmarizer for Magmar and the Electirizer for Electabuzz."

Dave nods, "Yes, exactly!"

Sanae confirms, "And you say you've looked for these stones, but can't find them anywhere?"

Dave asks, "Yeah! So, can you guys help me?"

Tina says, "We would love to help, but we don't know where to start."

Sabrina formulates, "I think a little magic should do. Marisa, do you think you can create what Dave is asking for?"

Marisa says, "I hope so. This is my first time using creation magic outside of practice."

Dave questions, "What are you two talking about?"

Salem explains, "If I may. My dearest Sabrina is a witch, with the ability to conjure many different things using magic. It would see that Marisa is learning from Sabrina's creation style, and she might be able to get you what you need."

Sabrina assures, "Even if things don't go quite as planned, I will make sure you have your items, Dave. Leave it to us!"

Dave smiles, "You can use magic to conjure the items I need? That's amazing!"

Marisa warns, "Because I am a beginner in this, I have my limitations on a daily basis. But still, I should be able to get you the items you need. Although... how am I suppose to make something if I don't know what they look like?"

Ash formulates, "I think the Pokédex should have lists of various items... including evolution items."

May asks, "Dawn, let's show her the items together."

Dawn agrees, "Okay!"

May shows Marisa the Magmarizer with her Pokédex, and Dawn shows her the Electirizer with her Pokédex.

Marisa prepares, "Alright, I got it! Let's give this a shot. Come on..."

Marisa brings out her magic wand. She charges energy into it, and successfully manages to create a Magmarizer and an Electirizer.

Marisa sweats, "Ohhhh... Ohhh my... I have no idea how you make it so easy, Sabrina. I am exhausted."

Salem suggests, "Take it easy, Marisa. You've done a good job."

Dave becomes exciting when he sees those two items right in front of his eyes. He picks them up.

Dave glees, "YES! Finally! I can evolve my Pokémon, now! This is like a dream come true!"

Marisa pants, "All in a day's work... for your ordinary magician..."

Dave bows, "Thank you so, so much. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

May smiles, "It's not much of a problem, Dave."

Dave says, "But, I must repay you somehow... I know, take some of my money."

May shakes her head, "That's not necessary, Dave."

Dave insists, "But it is. Please, take it. I was going to use this money to pay for it if necessary. Accept this as a gift from me!"

May accepts, "Well, when you put it that way... alright!"

May receives 10,000 Poke from Dave.

Dave shows the stones to his Pokémon. "Look, you guys. I can evolve you, now!"

Magmar smiles, "Maaag!"

Electabuzz smiles, "Eleeect!"

Dave glees, "I can't believe this is happening. I'm so happy right now! Nothing can ruin this moment for me!"

All of a sudden, Dave's items have been taken by two mechanical hands.

Dave widens his eyes, "... HUH?"

Tina wonders, "What just happened?"

And just as sudden as before, two robots take Magmar and Electabuzz.

Dave shouts, "WHAT? MAGMAR! ELECTABUZZ!"

Iris wonders, "What is going on?"

Axew says, "Axew?"

VIVIT points, "Look up there, everyone!"

Team Rocket laughs. They are flying up in the balloon and their machines. Many of Eggman's robots are around them.

Jessie says, "Thank you for your Pokémon... and your items."

James replies, "With Magmar and Electabuzz in our hands, we'll be rich!"

Meowth adds, "And with their evolved forms, we'll be even richer!"

Flandre clarifies, "The fun has been doubled!"

Batthan sweatdrops, "Oh no, it's you guys again!"

Jessie replies, "That's right, you Dirty Blondheaded Twerp of a Champion!"

Eggman says, "It's... Motto Time!"

Jessie- "The dark powers we hold..."

James- "Will be used to get all the gold."

Meowth- "We'll snag them all with our might."

Flandre- "And we'll never give up without a fight."

Bowser and Eggman- "That's right!"

Jessie- "The Team makes us who we really are."

James- "The Rocket will blast us to the power of the stars."

Bowser- "We'll crush those who get in our way."

Eggman- "And conquer everything that's here to stay."

Jessie- "Jessie!"

James- "James!"

Bowser, Eggman, and Flandre- "The Viles!"

Meowth- "Meowth's my name!"

Bowser and Eggman- "The power we have to provide..."

Meowth and Flandre- "Will make sure none will survive."

Jessie- "So if you won't allow us to play."

James- "Team Rocket will make sure you will pay."

Team Rocket- "So stay out of our way!"

Wobbuffet- "Woooobuffet!"

Dave asks, "Who are these guys?

Batthan names, "Those idiots are Team Rocket, and they constantly attempt to steal other people's Pokémon away."

Dave notices, "They called you a twerp just now... a dirty blond one at that."

Batthan smirks, "These idiots are the masters of coming up with silly nicknames for each of us."

Eggman steams, "Hey, take that back! We are not idiots!"

Batthan points, "Yes, you are. You lose to us every single time. What makes you think that you'll win, today?"

Eggman declares, "My plans are ingenious. There's no way we'll lose this time."

Tina shakes her head, "Typical overconfidence as usual."

Sonic agrees, "That's Egghead for ya!"

Eggman calls, "Now my beloved creations, attack them!"

He sends around 100 Egg Robos to attack them.

Sonic declares, "No matter how much you send to us, Eggman, trash is still trash!"

Misty says, "Sonic, let's take out Eggman's robots."

Sonic agrees, "Okay. What should we do, first?"

Misty suggests, "Let's use the new powered up technique you recently learned."

Sonic gathers, "Alright. Oceanic Rush!"

Sonic slowly gathers water energy, until his entire body is covered in aquatic energy.

Misty attacks, "One by one, Sonic! Homing Attack!"

Sonic makes an aerial spin while surrounded by water energy, and starts taking out each robot one by one very quickly. The speed and power of his attack is improved thanks to the effect of Oceanic Rush.

Eggman shouts, "Grrr... don't let that Hedgehog destroy all of you! Fire!"

Some of the Robos aim towards Sonic and fire their bullets to him.

Max remembers, "We can deflect those projectiles, can't we, Youmu?"

Youmu nods, "We can, Max."

Max smiles, "Let us help you out, Sonic! Youmu, Reflection Slash!"

Youmu flies quickly to just ahead of Sonic. With calculated slashes in front of her, she creates a blue reflector. All of the projectiles gets reflected, with some of them returning to the robots and destroying them.

Sonic smiles, "Close on. Thanks for that, Youmu!"

Youmu replies, "My pleasure."

VIVIT prepares, "It's time we took these robots to the recycle bin. Help me out, Sakuya."

Sakuya agrees, "It would be my pleasure."

Claire calls, "Use your Sabaton Missile Launcher, VIVIT!"

Brock calls, "Conjuring 'Eternal Meek'!"

VIVIT fires barrages of gold aura missiles to the Robos. Meanwhile, after declaring her spell card, she throws barrages of knives all over the area, hitting Robo after Robo very rapidly. Combined with Sonic's continuous Homing Attacks, Eggman's Egg Robos are vey quickly dwindling."

Eggman angers, "Curse you, Sonic!"

After all of the robot are destroyed, Sonic goes up to Eggman.

Sonic says, "Hey, Eggman."

Eggman asks, "What is it?"

Sonic grins, "Hope you're thirsty!"

Sonic homes in and attacks Eggman with an aquatic Homing Attack. It sends him flying, sending their Egg Balloon popping and exploding.

Eggman moans, "Ugh... that was quite a drench I just took."

Bowser sweatdrops, "Another failed plan. Smooth move, Egghead!"

Eggman steams, "What did you called me, Koopa Breath?"

Flandre sighs, "Boys..."

Jessie agrees, "I know what you mean, Flan."

Team Rocket shouts, "We're blasting off agaaaaaaain!"

*Ding*

Electabuzz and Magmar are falling after the robots that were carrying them were destroyed. Using the Propeller forms as their current transformation, Propeller Mario and Propeller Luigi fly into the air to each grab one of the Pokémon, and move them down slowly and safely.

Meanwhile, while coming down from the air, Sonic grabs both evolution items.

Dave says, "Thank you, Mario, Luigi."

Propeller Mario gives a thumbs, "You're welcome."

Propeller Luigi smiles, "No problem!"

The two brothers transform back into their normal forms.

Dave asks, "Are you two alright?"

Magmar and Electabuzz nod to confirm.

Dave notices, "That's good. Hey, are those the evolution items?"

Sonic gives, "Yep. Here you go!"

Dave receives, "Thanks, Sonic. Well, it's time to evolve, you two!"

Magmar says, "Maaaag!"

Electabuzz says, "Electaaaaa!"

The two take their corresponding items and absorb its energy. They start to evolve!

Dave glees, "Yes, this is it!"

Magmar evolves into Magmortar and Electabuzz evolves into Electivire.

Magmortar cries, "Magmortarrrrr!"

Electivire cries, "Electivirrrrre!"

Mario cheers, "Alright!"

Sonic smiles, "They've evolved!"

Dave cheers, "Magmortar... Electivire... YES!"

Dave jumps for joy for his accomplishment. Everyone becomes happy that his wish came true.

Around 15 Minutes later, the Heroes are packed and are ready to leave. It is time to say goodbye.

Dave bows, "Once again, I thank you so much for all that you have done."

Marisa grins, "No sweat, Dave. Glad I was able to help ya out."

Sanae wishes, "Good luck on your journey."

Dave waves, "And good luck to you all as well. Bye!"

May waves, "Bye, Dave."

Ash waves, "See ya!"

Batthan waves, "Take care!"

After waving goodbye to him, our Heroes are ready to move on to Sky High City where the next Gym is ready for Ash. But first...

The Pokénav's phone system rings with Mario's theme.

Mario halts, "Hold on, everyone. We have a call." He answers, "Hello?"

Sapele answers, "Hello, hello, Mario!"

Mario recognizes, "Hey! It's the Professor!"

Reimu says, "The professor? I wonder what she wants..."

Mario asks, "What's going on?"

Sapele recalls, "So, remember how I mentioned that I was making my way back into Directamo City after finding the egg? Well, good news, the egg hatched!"

Mario wonders, "And... what hatched out of the egg?"

Sapele looks at her newly hatched purple Chao flying near her.

Sapele ponders, "That's the thing. When I analyzed this adorable creature, nothing came out of it. I... I don't think this creature is a Pokémon."

Mario wonders, "It's not a Pokémon?"

Tina realizes, "You know what... I think I might know what may have hatched. It's just a hunch, but..."

Sapele offers, "If you have some idea, then by all means."

Tina explains, "You see, we've been to a home recently. And this girl... she once blew a flute that I blew during the recent night of the full moon. Except in her case, it was during the day. When that happened, and the conditions of this special flute were met, she had an egg appear. And a Chao is what hatched from an egg."

Sapele questions, "A Chao? Hmm... it does seem to be saying Chao as a way of communicating, not dissimilar to Pokémon with their own names. And you say that it was a magical flute that caused this egg to appear?"

Tina figures, "Not just with where you found it. I think all over the island, there are Chao eggs that are hatching to born Chao. These are from Sonic's world by the way."

Sonic clarifies, "Chao are very intelligent creatures that get along with humans and alike if they are raised properly. Anyone can raise one, and it's not too complicated to raise one as well. Seems like you are a newfound owner, Professor."

Sapele pets her Chao, "Is that so?"

Mario asks, "What name did you give to it, Professor?"

Sapele names, "The Chao that I seemed to have hatched is a purple Chao with a rainbow design on its back. Therefore, I feel like a colorful name suited it well, so I went with Neon. I wish you can see it in person.

Tina ponders, "There might be a way to..."

Sapele concludes, "So, I am to believe that we are going to see Chao across the island every now and again thanks to that event."

Tina gleams, "Wow! Who would have thought that the flute had such a unique purpose!"

Batthan ponders, "I wonder who has the possession of Chao, now, as we speak..."

A shocking revelation occurred. Chao seems to be around the island. These creatures may end up winning the hearts of many humans, just as Pokémon are now. What newly discovered events will occur with these Chao now being a part of the Pokémon world? Our Heroes will eventually find out. For now, they are nearing the exit of Great Greens Forest, and they will continue on with journey. Stay tuned!

To be continued...

PDA777: And that's it. So, how was that?

Batthan: Wow! Chao are around the island? That's awesome! I wonder what this means in the long run.

PDA777: Again... maybe not as much as you think.

Batthan: So... about that next chapter...

PDA777: I tell you right now, it's not what you're thinking.

Batthan: Oh, boy... here we go, again.

PDA777: Until next time, everybody!
