Day 4 Honoka Version (part 1)

'Wake up.'

'Wake up Honoka.'

'Wake up.'

"Mom?"

Honoka tried to sit up, but her body told her no. Every part of her body ached. Weirdly enough it wasn't out of pain but tiredness. She had to force herself to get up and look around for the feminine voice that called her. Instead of finding a woman, Honoka saw a unconscious Gary laying next to her.

"Gary!"

She moved Kanto native in a more comfortable position. He seemed fine, but he wouldn't wake up. Since she didn't want to hurt him, Honoka continously poked his face in hopes that he would wake up that way.

"I don't think that's going to work."

"Huh?"

Honoka turned around to see a woman sitting down next to her. The beautiful woman had her hair in the same style as Honoka, but had brown hair to match her eyes. She seemed to be unharmed.

"Nice to see that you're finally awake Honoka."

"How do you know my name?"

"Because I'm your guardian."

"Guardian?"

"Look closely at me."

"Ok."

Honoka leaned in closer to get a good look at the woman. She could see a light orange glow coming from her.

"Yup. I was created when you came to this world. My name is Nitta Emi. I saved you and Gary when you two fell off the cliff."

"How?"

"When you're in trouble you will form a glow somewhere on your body. I'm not first one to appear however."

"Did something happen!? Who's hurt!?"

"Don't worry. My friend Kubo Yurika appeared to save your friend Hanayo when she was in trouble."

"That's good. How's everyone else?"

"Well-"

Nitta froze when she noticed that she was disappearing. She signed.

"I used up to much of my power to talk to you."

"You're going?"

"Yes for a while. But don't worry when you're in trouble I'll help you again till then."

Nitta disappeared into a small cloud of sparkles. The sparkles were then swept away by wind that suddenly came in. After a few minutes, Gary started to wake up.

"Gary! You're ok!"

"W-what happen?"

"There was a rock slide and we got caught up in it," Honoka explained.

"But how did we make it uninjured?"

"Nitta saved us."

"Nitta? Who's that?"

"She's my guardian. She appears when I'm in trouble to save me," Honoka explained it like was the most normal thing ever.

"I think I hit my head a little to hard," Gary mumbled to himself.

"Aw, come on Gary you believed me before."

"I'm a man of science Honoka. I can't just believe in everything."

"But Gary."

"Come on lets get going."

Gary pushed himself up off the ground. He took a deep breath before helping Honoka up. While Honoka dusted off the dirt from her clothes, Gary let out one of his Pokémon to help them.

Honoka was in awe at the Pokémon. This Pokémon was big and had a color scheme of black and yellow. He also had twin tails that weirdly stayed in the air.

"Electivire this cave should be sturdy enough for you to break these rocks that's in front of us. Think that you can do it?"

"Electivire!"

The big electric Pokémon couldn't move it by hand, so he decided to try moving them with a attack. He gather large amount of electricity into his right hand. Before he could smash the rocks, a light blue orb hit him on the back. This unexpected attack took away his concentration, so he couldn't do his attack.

"Electivire are you ok?" Gary asked his Pokémon.

"Tivire," he replied.

"Gary what was that?"

"I don't know. But it was definitely a Pokémon who attacked us."

Gary took out another Pokéball and tossed it up into the air. This time a much smaller Pokémon came out. This one had was black with yellow rings on his body. The rings started to glow slightly to give them some light. He then returned Electivire back to his Pokéball.

"Umbreon I need you to help us get through this cave."

"Breon."

"Why can't Electivire just break those rocks?"

"Because whatever Pokémon that just attack him will attack him again. It's for the best if we just go through the cave."

"Hold on I know that Daifuku can help us." Honoka said.

She took off Daifuku's Pokéball from her belt and threw it up in the air. The furry bug bounced up and down before bouncing into Honoka's arms.

"Ok ready."

"Lead the way Umbreon."

Umbreon nodded his head started to lead them through the cave. No one in group knew where they were going since they were thrown into a random part of the cave. They were just thankful that they could see.

Honoka decied that this would be the time to learn more about Gary.

"So Gary how many different regions have you been to?"

"Hm. I grew up here in Kanto, but I study aboard once in Kalos. I also went to Johto and Sinnoh."

"You been to so many different places."

"Yeah. Plus every couple of years Grandpa and I go to Alola to visit family."

"Alola? I never heard of that place before."

"Really? It's a very tropical and beautiful place. It's just so far away from Kanto."

"Awe, now I want to go."

"Heh, you get excited easily don't you."

"Hey!"

Gary let out another chuckle. He was finally getting use to her.

"Gary?"

"Yeah?"

"Who is Dasiy?"

Honoka looked down at Daifuku. She guessed that it was to soon to ask about it.

"You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

"No it's fine. I just have a question."

"Yeah."

"Are there different versions of me in your world?"

"Yeah there's game you and manga you-"

"Is she alive there?"

"...Yes."

"Then it's ok. At least she's ok there."

"I'm sorry about mentioning her."

"It's fine."

The two of them walked in silence for a little while. With each step, Honoka felt worst about her asking about Daisy. She wished she didn't do it. Gary suddenly stop walking and stared at the ground.

"Gary?"

"I was around four when she died. She was sick, but she always looked after me. When she passed away I didn't take it well."

Gary didn't notice that Umbreon walked closer to him. Honoka put down Daifuku and did the same.

"To hide my feelings I acted like a big shot. I even messed with Ash more than I should and this kid named Joey I just ignored him. And this girl I was always mean to her because she looked up to my sister."

"What about your parents?"

"They gave me anything that I wanted. Who needed real friends when you had stuff right?"

Honoka noticed that Gary's voice was getting louder and louder. She wondered if he ever told anyone about this. Umbreon put his paw on Gary's shoe as a attempt to calm him.

"I had people I didn't care about around me all the time. I never realized how lonely I was."

Gary was shocked when he felt Honoka hugging him from behind. Even Umbreon was surprised at her actions. Honoka squeezed him tightly.

"I don't think I could ever understand what you been through, but anything every happen to Yukiho I don't know what I would do. But Gary you're not alone anymore."

"Yeah. I know," Gary chuckled. "Let's get moving."

Honoka looked up at him to see if he was serious. He seemed completely fine. Honoka nodded and they started back walking. She guess all he needed was someone to talk to.

"So who's Yukiho?"

"Oh, she's my little sister."

"Little sister?"

"Yup."

"Huh, I always saw you as a little sister."

"Why?"

"Well when we first met you seem to hyper for your own good and you seem like the type of person someone has to look after all the time."

"Hey!"

"But I guess there is something more to you then I thought."

"Of course! I am the leader of my group."

"Did no one wanted to be it?"

"Gary!"

"Honest question."

"Umbreon!"

"Venonat!"

"What's wrong Daifuku?"

"Umbreon?"

Both Pokémon got into their battle positions. They sensed that something was in front of them. Gary and Honoka couldn't see whatever was in front of them, but they could hear growling.

"Gary do you know what Pokémon that is?"

"No. I can't see it from here."

"I don't think we can get out of the cave until we beat whatever Pokémon that is."

"You're right. Umbreon can you shine even brighter for us?"

"Umbre!"

The circles on Umbreon's body glowed brighter than before. He managed to light up the room to show the Pokémon that was attacking them. The Pokémon was a blue dog that was on his hind legs.

"Wow! That's a Riolu!" Honoka pointed out.

"Yeah, but something is off with it."

"What do you mean Gary?"

"Just look at it."

Just as Gary said the Riolu didn't seem like any other Riolu known. This one was much bigger than a normal Riolu. It almost looked like he was a Lucario instead of a Riolu, but he was to small to be one. His fur was much longer than normal and he a dark aura around him.

"Plus they aren't native to Kanto."

"Then why is he here."

"I don't know."

"Riiioluu," the fighting type growled.

"Well if it's a fight he wants then a fight he gets!"

"Wait a minute Honoka!"

"Daifuku use Screech!"

Daifuku made a strange sound which unfortunately hit everyone near him. Honoka didn't account for the sound waves to bounce around all throughout the cave.

Umbreon and the Riolu had to cover their ears because the extra sound was to much for them. Gary glared at who was also covering her ears.

"Could you please think before you do something like that again?"

"Sorry. I'll do better."

"No. I'm going to calm this one down."

"But I wanted to capture it."

"You can't. There's something wrong with Riolu."

"Maybe it's a new breed?"

Gary gave her a blank look.

"Don't worry I got this. Daifuku use Confusion!"

Daifuku's eyes glowed blue and he moved the Riolu back a couple of inches. The fighting type didn't like this and threw the same blue orb from before.

"I don't understand. A Riolu shouldn't be able to use Aura Sphere until they evolve into a Lucario."

"Maybe something stopped him from evolving?"

"Or someone."

"Huh?"

"Honoka I'm taking over this fight."

"No way! We can help out!"

"Now not the time for-"

"Daifuku use Screech again!"

"Venonat!"

Umbreon was ready for his ally's move. He quickly cover his ears with his paws and watched as Riolu be hit with the sound.

"Now use Foresight!

Daifuku eyes glowed white and he beamed a light onto Riolu.

"Ok. Now that Riolu's defense been lowered twice and was hit by Foresight, I can go on the attack. Umbreon use physical move!"

Umbreon looked over to Honoka then to Gary.

"Breon?"

"You can do Umbreon!"

"You can't tell my Umbreon what to do!"

"But Daifuku doesn't know any physical moves."

"Do you think Umbreon know any moves like that?"

"Does he not?"

"He does, but that doesn't matter. You can't have two versus one."

"But in X and Y they had five versus one."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Go Umbreon!"

"Honoka!"

Umbreon counted to look at the two humans. He didn't know if he was supposed to attack or not. It wasn't until Riolu attack him that he decied to fight back. Umbreon created a ball of darkness and blasted it at Riolu.

Riolu didn't realize that the move could now hit him, so he stood in front of the attack. He was knocked back a couple feet. The attack must had done something more to him because when Riolu used Aura Sphere the sphere was much darker.

Gary stood in front of Honoka. He could tell that the Riolu's behavior was turning for the worst.

"Gary?"

"I take back what I said. We both need to take this one down."

Riolu dashed at Umbreon and Daifuku. Riolu was covered in darkness when he crashed into the Pokémon. Honoka's eyes widen at Riolu. Unlike Gary, who thought that Riolu was using a werid form of Quick Attack, Honoka remembered that she saw this form of attack before in a game.

"But he shouldn't be able to do that move. No Pokémon should," Honoka whispered to herself.

"Umbreon you gotta get up!"

Umbreon's rings started to fade for a second, but shined brightly once Umbreon got up. He helped up Daifuku and both Pokémon got back into fighting position. It seemed like that one move hurt Umbreon and Daifuku a lot.

"Umbreon get ready to counter his next move!"

"Bree!"

"Ven! Ven!"

"Come on Honoka you wanted to fight before."

"Gary. I think I know what's wrong with that Pokémon."

"Huh?"

"It's a little different from what I remembered but I think Riolu is a-"

Before Honoka could finish, Riolu began his attack. He blasted a Aura Sphere before dashing off again. Umbreon hit away the Aura Sphere with his tail, but he couldn't stop Riolu from hitting him. Riolu didn't stop at just Umbreon and Venonat. He continued to dash towards Gary and Honoka.

"Watch out!" Gary yelled as he pushed Honoka out of the way. He braced himself for the attack.

"Espeon use Zap Cannon!"

A yellow green orb hit Riolu in the face. Surprised, both Gary and Honoka looked over to the person that saved them. A big smiled formed on Honoka's face when she saw who was with this person.

"Kotori!"

"Honoka!"

Honoka got up and ran over to the young designer. They gave each other a big hug. It was if they were silently telling each other what had happened to each other.

"I've been looking everywhere for you," Kotori said. "I wouldn't have guessed that you been caught up in the land slide."

"Don't worry I've been with Gary and we even found some of the others."

"Can you two catch up later? We still have a crazy Riolu to take care of," Gary pointed out.

"Oh wow! You're Anabel of the Battle Frontier and you're Trip!"

"How do you know me?" Trip questioned.

"Honoka!"

"Oh right. Sorry Gary."

"What's with the aura around it?" Trip asked.

"He reminds me of a Shadow Pokémon," Honoka said.

"Shadow Pokémon?" Gary and Anabel repeated.

"We have to capture and purify him so that we can help him," Honoka explained.

"How are we going to do that?" Gary asked. "We were barely making it as it is."

"Maybe we can put it to sleep or something," Honoka guessed.

"Riii-Lucario!"

"I thought Pokémon could only say their names," Kotori said.

The Riolu began to repeatedly shooting out Aura Spheres. Everyone jumped out of the way of the attacks.

"Umbreon use Shadow Ball!"

"Espeon! Zap Cannon!"

"Confusion! Daifuku!"

"I wish that at least one of my Pokémon with me," Trip mumbled.

"Well I can still help," Kotori said. "Go Blueberry!"

While Blueberry popped out of her Pokéball, the others were going on with their attack. Daifuku used his attack to immobilize Riolu. Umbreon and Espeon took this chance to directly attack him. It started to look like Riolu was finally getting hurt by the attacks.

"Honoka what type of move should I use?" Kotori asked.

"I don't know what types of move does your Swablu know?"

"Tell her to use Sing. Riolu will fall asleep from it," Trip ordered.

"That's a great idea!"

"Blueberry I need you to use Sing on that Pokémon over there," Kotori explained.

"Swa."

Blueberry flew behind Riolu and started to sing into his ear. She did it low enough that no one else could hear it, so that they won't go to sleep, but loud enough that Riolu could hear her song. Riolu's eyes slowly closed and the dog curled up.

"You did it Blueberry!" Kotori cheered.

"Swabluuu~"

"Hey! What are you doing!?" Gary yelled.

Honoka grabbed an empty Ultra Ball from Gary's belt. She figured that since that Riolu just started showing damage that she should use a stronger ball. She didn't want Riolu to wake up, so she walked over and tapped the ball on his head. The ball wiggled in her hand before it settled down. Honoka jumped up in the air.

"Alright! I just caught a Riolu!"

"I just don't understand you," Gary said.

"What was wrong with that Riolu?" Trip asked.

"I don't know, but we need to get out of this cave," Anabel said.

Everyone agreed to her idea. While they walking to the opening that Kotori's group came through, the two idols decided to catch up with each other.

"Kotori! We should have a battle between my Daifuku and your Blueberry."

"Sorry Honoka but Blueberry doesn't like battling. Maybe my other Pokémon would want to."

"Other Pokémon?" Honoka repeated.

"Yes. He's with on of the helpers, Leaf."

Gary froze for a second but quickly continued walking. He didn't want to be noticed. He hoped that the Leaf that she was talking about wasn't the one that he was thinking of.

"This isn't going to be good if it is her," he thought.

End of Day 4 Honoka Version (part 1)

~ Nitta Emi ~

- She's super strong.

- She went to college for music.

- She was diagnosed with vocal cord polyps.

- She likes and researches dinosaurs.

On Bulbapedia it has Umbreon using Flash to glow, but I like to think that Umbreons can do that normally. Also Anabel's Espeon knows Zap Cannon when it's not supposed to.
