Author's Note: Well here's chapter #2! If anyone knows their Hoenn Elite 4 then you realize Natsu really has no Super Effective strategy for this one. I wonder what will happen?

Also I do not own Fairy Tail or Pokémon.

Chapter Thirty Three - Elite 4 Part 2: The Ghost Whisperer

Natsu quickly made work of Sidney in his first battle vs the Elite Four, and now he ventures on towards his next opponent. Here, we find Nigel and Levy preparing for the next battle, while Cana, Lucy, and Happy discuss the fate of Natsu and the others who are stuck inside the game

"Hey, you both really need to chill out. He's got this." Cana noticed Lucy and Happy both began to look a little nervous as the day passed into afternoon. According to the virtual threats they received way back in the beginning of this fiasco, the hacker would only give them to the end of the week (today) to get out of the game, otherwise they would be wiped away forever.

Lucy nodded. "Yea…It's just kinda stressful watching all of them, especially since I know Natsu has a good chunk of final game left to play."

Happy looked up too. "Yea, I mean I have faith in him, but I'm worried they won't break out when Natsu beats the game." He then looked at Lucy. "Remember you had to fight that evil guy to break your game?"

Lucy's skin shivered with a haunting memory from the dark cave back in Kalos. "Yea…but I think this will be different…at least I hope so."

The shivers did not quit as they all turned to find Natsu in his new area. After leaving out the back of Sidney's room, Natsu now found himself on a similar bridge from before, only this one was much darker. It also had an eerie pond with lilies and flowers beneath it, and to the end they spotted an ominous building with dark features as their next destination.

"Man…what is that thing?" As Natsu began to walk down the bridge, he also noticed a strange glowing spirit fluttering in front of him. He reached out and tried to touch it, but the apparition quickly pulled back and moved towards the end. Natsu followed it all the way down the bridge as he finally made it to the next door, and once he did the spirit had vanished.

He felt a chill run down his spine as he opened the doors and entered the next hall. When he arrived, Natsu was greeted to a room with accents of black and purple, and a lavender colored Poké Ball sat on the floor as a large decoration.

Finally, as he made it all the way inside, he was greeted by a young female trainer. She was very pretty, with dark skin and short brown hair. She also had two large red flowers on either side of her head, and she wore a beautiful blue skirt with white flowers around her waist, and a top piece to a blue swimsuit above it.

Then, she greeted Natsu with a glowing smile. "Hahaha! I'm Phoebe of the Elite Four."

Natsu smiled back. "Whoa, aren't you a little young to be in a position like this?" He teased her.

She giggled and waved his comment away. "Oh I did my training on Mt. Pyre. While I trained there, I also gained the ability to commune with Ghost-type Pokémon! The bond I developed with my Pokémon is extremely tight. Come on! Just try and see if you can even inflict damage on my Pokémon!"

As she grabbed her first ball and readied for the battle, Nigel re-took the mic. "Remember, she will be carrying a Mega Evolution."

Natsu nodded and began to think to himself. "Hmm…I'm not really sure how to fight Ghost Pokémon…?"

He then paused and grinned as he yelled down to his belt. "OKAY! FIRST GUY TO COME OUT GETS A WISH!"

Nothing happened.

Lucy yelled into the mic. "NATSU!? Are you bribing them into coming out to fight?"

Phoebe giggled once again. "Well, you Fairy Tailers sure are hilarious! Go Banette!"

She sent out an eerie looking purple/grey Pokemon with a sinister smile and wicked eyes, and as she did, Natsu was still having trouble choosing his teammate.

"Gee, I figured at least one of you would want a free wish! I mean it could be anything…maybe even seeing someone, or I dunno, forcing a friend to have a date with you…?"

Instantly the fifth ball on Natsu's belt lit up like gold, and as it opened Juvia Lockster spilled out onto the field. "Okay! I'm sorry I failed to understand the first time you said it! Are you saying I get any wish?"

Natsu scratched his head. "I mean it needs to be logical! And we'll probably need Nigel's pocket book…so yea I'd say that covers a lot!"

"Now hold on a minute!" Cana yelled in protest. "Some of us rely on that pocket book for our daily vitamins and nutrients!" She then held up an empty wine bottle to support her argument. "Even if we are steeling it!"

Nigel rolled his eyes. "Yea, trust me, I ain't no pharmacist…Okay Juvia finish the battle and we'll talk…"

"OHHHH WHAT EVER YOU SAY, NIGEL!" Juvia's eyes turned into stars. She then turned around to face Banette. "You…you will not interfere with my victory date…WATER SLICER!"

Juvia sent out a powerful Aqua Tail as it hit Banette right in the face. Then the Banette fainted.

"Well, that was almost too easy…" Juvia said with a serious expression.

Phoebe laughed. "Well, Banette said it enjoyed meeting you! Now Go Mismagius!"

Then, a creepy witch/ghost Pokémon with purple skin and a sinister face came onto the field, and as it did Juvia felt a chill on the air.

"W-well. This is c-certainly chillier than my beloved's embrace…"

Phoebe then smiled. "Oh, your Milotic looks like it isn't handling the Grudge very well."

Natsu looked confused. "Huh?"

Phoebe explained. "While you were too busy arguing with her, I had my Banette use a move called Grudge. I guess I should tell you since you weren't looking! Grudge takes the move that fainted Banette, and depletes all the user's PP for it!"

Juvia then tested it by trying to summon another Water Slicer. "EH! No, she's absolutely right!"

Natsu smiled. "Hey you can use all the voodoo you want! Juvia here has way more tricks up her sleeve!"

Juvia then smiled faintly and nodded. "Natsu, you're absolutely right…WATER JIGSAW!"

The Rain Woman whirled around and sent a beaming Water Pulse right for Mismagius, and as it did it also seemed to leave its target confused. Then, Mismagius tried to send out a volt of lightning, but it was stopped right in its tracks. "Mismagius used Thunderbolt! Mismagius missed in its confusion!"

Nigel took a large gulp. "Aehehe…well that was too close for comfort."

Natsu nodded. "Okay then! Blast her again!"

Juvia agreed. "WATER JIGSAW!"

Then, after a second powerful Water Pulse, the beam of watery rays nailed Mismagius right in the face, and sent it falling to the ground in defeat.

Phoebe sighed as she collected her defeated friend. "He was just trying to be your friend…oh well, I guess it must be hard to hear what my Pokémon have to say. Anyway…Go Drifblim!"

Then, a giant, eerie, purple balloon Pokémon took the field and began to soar up a ways. As it did, it sent a quick cloud of purple energy right for Juvia, who had no choice but to take the hit.

"Driftblim used Psychic! Juvia's Special Defense harshly fell!"

Juvia's health was now in the high-red as she began to breathe heavily. "Ugh…that was too much energy for one attack."

"Agh, here!" Natsu looked worried, and gave her a Full Restore, but doing so he wasted his chance to have her attack again.

Driftblim then sent a whirlwind of Ice and hail right for his opponent, and as he did, Juvia took it head on.

"Oh great." Nigel said preparing for the worst. "This could freeze her if we're not careful…"

"Driftblim used Icy Wind! Juvia is now confused!"

"WHAT!?" Everyone including Phoebe yelled in shock as the wrong status effect took the text by surprise.

Juvia then began seeing stars. "Oh…was that my beloved Gray attacking me…? Oh wow my head is all fuzzy…" Even though Juvia is usually unharmed by Ice attacks, her lowered Special Defense did not help her health from sinking into the lower green.

Then, she tried barreling forward. "Wa…wa…WATER LOCK!"

"Juvia is confused…Juvia used Whirlpool! Foe Driftlim became trapped in a vortex of water!"

"No way!" Nigel smiled. "She was still able to focus and try to even the playing field with a neutral handicap!"

The air-headed balloon Pokémon began to panic as it could not leave the field of water. Phoebe yelled out in fear. "OH YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT!"

"AGH!" Then, Juvia went again. She then sent out a heavy torrent of waves and water right for the distressed Driftblim.

"Juvia is confused…Juvia used Surf!"

The poor balloon never stood a chance as the large tidal wave crashed down on his lonely prison inside the whirlpool. Phoebe continued. "Well, what an eccentric friend you have there…hehe. Go Chandelure!"

"Oh a fire-type!" Levy said with confidence. "She should have this on in the bag!"

The tilted Milotic tried to concentrate all her energy on the candelabra Pokémon as she tried to summon forth another wave of water.

"Juvia is confused…she hurt herself in confusion."

*BAM!*

Juvia quickly smacked herself in the face with her tail as she suffered a small amount of damage in the result. The Chandelure then sent out a large grassy-green orb of energy as it narrowly swiped passed Juvia's head.

"Chandelure used Energy Ball! Chandelure's attack missed!"

Nigel, Levy, Cana, and Lucy were all at the edge of their seats, and Happy and Mavis both floated above as all 5 of them sighed with relief.

Then, Juvia sniffed the air. "Wait…no more ice…you're not Gray?" She looked up with eyes of anger, and suddenly let loose.

"AGH! YOU'RE NOT GRAY!" She cried out with pure rage as she sent a mighty Surf attack out to swallow the poor ghost/fire-type in a sea of water.

The foe fell in defeat as Phoebe carried on. "Well, this certainly is unfortunate. I only have two Pokémon! I guess I'll go with…DUSKNOIR!"

Then, a dark grey ghost Pokémon with golden trim came to the field, and as it did Juvia collected herself.

"Alright, I'm starting to get sick of these constant Ghost Pokémon…" She stated as Natsu looked over with a smile.

"Here! If you're getting sick this oughta help!" He jokingly smiled and gave her another Full Restore to heal her of all health and status problems.

Then, the Dusknoir moved in. As it did it send a shocking fist of pure yellow lightning right for Juvia, who tried to dodge it but unfortunately failed to do so.

"Dusknoir used Thunder Punch! It's Super Effective! Juvia is now paralyzed!"

Juvia tried to retaliate, but couldn't move a muscle. "Oh no! I'm frozen solid!"

Lucy panicked. Man! She's dealt with so much in this battle! I hope she'll be alright!"

Sadly, Nigel knew what to expect. "Yea, well that paralysis is worse than you think…"

Then, the Dusknoir sent out a relentless attack of purple flames and gasses, and somehow, the Sea Serpent Juvia barely wiggled away with just enough stamina.

"Dusknoir used Hex! Dusknoir's attack missed!"

"Damn it! I figured she'd use that!" Nigel sighed. "Hex does twice the amount of damage when the foe is weakened with a status effect. I bet it knows Fire and Ice Punch too…"

Natsu waved his hand. "Psh! Who cares! Juvia ain't fallin' over that easy! She has that fancy ability too! Right?"

Juvia then cocked her rigid head and saw a toothy grin from her trainer and friend.

"Agh…no…n-no I'm not…! WATER NEBULA!" She then raised her head and sent out a massive column of deadly water.

"Juvia used Hydro Pump!" The message read aloud as Juvia unleashed her most powerful move to barrel ahead and send the Dusknoir into the back wall.

Phoebe shook her head as she collected her fifth straight Pokemon. "Wow…I guess this is it…GO SABLEYE!"

Then, Phoebe released a tiny, purple gremlin Pokémon with diamonds for eyes and a sinister smile. Then, she touched her finger to a tiny golden necklace round her neck.

"MEGA EVOLVE!"

Then, the Sableye grew a tiny bit taller, and it now looked much darker, and held a goofy looking large ruby out in front. Juvia went to move, but was still frozen from paralysis. So as a result, the Sableye moved first.

"Sableye used Fake Out! Juvia flinched!"

Even if Juvia wanted to attack, she wasn't able too now that Sableye secured a second attack in a row. Then, the little gremlin tried to send out a dark claw of ghastly energy.

"Sableeye used Foul Play!"

Juvia's health was now in the red as she lied on the ground, stunned through paralysis and nearly beaten. Thanks to her attack stat being her lowest stat, Foul Play did much less damage than it should have.

Either way, she was nearly down for the count.

"AGH! JUVIA GET UP!" Natsu cried.

Nigel tried to join in as he yelled loudly into the mic for her to hear. "YES JUVIA! YOU NEED TO GET UP!"

Cana added on. "JUST THINK! IF YOU WIN, NIGEL PROMISED YOU AN ENTIRE NIGHT WITH GR…!"

Natsu snapped at Cana's remark. "AH FORGET THAT! YOU GOTTA WIN REGARDLESS OF YOUR LOUSY DATE! OTHERWISE YOU CAN FORGET EVER SEEING THAT STRIPPER EVER AGAIN!"

Lucy then added on. "HE'S RIGHT! JUVIA PLEASE! DO IT FOR GRAY! DO IT FOR FAIRY TAIL!"

That last word rang through Juvia's injured brain.

"G…G-Gray…? Fairy...Tail..."

Then, the Sableye darted evil glances back and forth through its large red ruby as it waited for Juvia to make her legal move. The Milotic struggled to get up as she quivered with fear and pain.

"Agh…ah…AGH!" She let out a loud cry of stress and anxiety as she unleashed an unforeseen power.

"GRAY!"

"Juvia used Blizzard! Sableye is now frozen solid!"

Nigel had to blink several times to collect what he just saw. In fact, he and all the other Fairies did a double take to the other side of the field, where they were only left with a large icy chunk filled with a frozen Sabeleye.

Juvia's eyes then glowed red as she silently made her final move.

"This ends here…WATER NEBULA!"

A large and destructive column of water left her mouth after that threat, and as it did the beam of H2O sliced through the chunk of ice and sent the poor Sabeleye right into the back wall, while it also shattered its precious red ruby into thousands of little pieces.

Then, Phoebe scratched her head and sighed as she collected her beaten Mega Pokémon. "Oh, darn. I've gone and lost!"

Natsu smiled and collected his nearly fainted, yet finally victorious Juvia. "Hey, take a rest for a while. Hehe."

Juvia smiled and let her head fill with icy dreams as Natsu collected her back into her Pokémon Ball.

Phoebe beamed at her newest challenger's victory. "There's definitely a bond between you and your Pokémon, too. I didn't recognize that fact, so it's only natural that I lost. Yup, I'd like to see how far your bond will carry you. Go ahead. Move on to the next room!"

Natsu nodded and smiled, as all the other Fairies back home celebrated in pure joy while their new champion left for the next room. Yet as they did, Cana settled down as she looked to a troubled Nigel deep in thought. "Hey, he won. What's wrong with you?"

Nigel paused. "Well, it's just that battle got me thinking; we haven't heard from Gray or the others in a long time…I'm just wondering."

Cana nodded and touched his shoulder with a soft hand. "Hey, it'll be fine. You don't know Fairy Tail like we do...They've got this."

He smiled for her sake, yet as he turned back to Natsu leaving the Ghost Chamber, his head filled with fearful thoughts.

"Yea…I hope you're right…"

Well I hope Gray and the others are actually alright.

Anyway Juvia rocked it! She deserves a good rest. (I also noticed Natsu never healed her in the end...)

Chapter 34 tomorrow!
