Getting closer and closer to victory (Tyson is shown in a blue backfield with Lucario tossing an Aura Sphere, Gabite running in with Dragon Claw, and Frogadier clouds the screen with Smokescreen)
I know greatness is my destiny (Alexis is in a pink backfield as Buneary freezes the screen, Braixen burns it into a circle, and Hawlucha flies through it)
They will remember me for centuries! (Bolt in a yellow slide with Luxio and Manectric as both run forward with Wild Charge)
I know it's hard to keep some memories (Tyson stands afar from Frogadier, as Ryan and Chesnaught are in the backfield using Seed Bomb, then Lucas and Roserade using Petal Dance, and ends with Molly and Dewott using Razor Shell)
But separation is our greatest defeat (Frogadier walks away with Tyson chasing him. Once the hatted boy got close, Frogadier was created into water and dropped down)
When we join, we become complete! (Tyson's hat drops and his tears fall. Once his tears hit the ground, a figure in water armor with glowing silver eyes and Tyson began to form together)
Show us (2x) your hidden power! (Gabite takes out a horde of Pokemon, then glows and flies forward)
Our training (2x) is our superpower! (Ramos and Gogoat slides past as his Pokemon shoots his vines out in a green backfield)
My drive (2x) will never dour! (A girl with brown hair turns around and reveals her gray eyes)
It's time (2x) to reach our dreams! (Tyson, Alexis, Bolt, Ryan, Lucas, Molly, Beatrice, and Leon stand around each other and puts their arms with their Mega Bracelets into the sky)
Pokemon!
Welcome back to PKL! Last time we left off, the group made it into Coumarine Garden and met Ramos and Snivy, who took a liking to Tyson. During a battle, Bolt's Electrike evolved into Manectric and was able to Mega Evolve.
Warrior of Hope: You haven't seen anything yet when it comes to Bolt! Not to mention Molly will be a major role in this arc.
MysticBeatz21: Manectric will be a great addition to Bolt's team. And your senses are right about a kickass battle between Tyson and Molly is soon approaching!
El Torro: You betcha! Bolt and Manectric will be an unstoppable team. And those will be Tyson's strongest three, and the Tyson-Ninja will be on its way!
FinLay Real: Yeah, I apologize for that. The first draft was actually shorter than the final. And Molly will show her prowess from the time we last saw her in Parfum Palace.
JustinThePokemonMaster: Wow, I think you're the only person without the Molly hype! That or you were being sarcastic. And I do watch the Japanese Anime, which got me back into watching the show. The hype is real, huh?

Episode 37: Hawlucha's Revenge
"Wow, it's been a while!" Molly said, looking at the traveling trio. "How's everyone been?"
"Awesome!" Tyson answered, which his friends agreed with. "I got the Cliff and Knuckle Badge now!"
"I won my first ribbon in Cyllage City!" Alexis said, showing the girl the light brown ribbon.
"I'm glad you've all been doing well. I was just healing my team after some training," Molly explained. Tyson scanned the area and took out his Pokedex.
Charmeleon, the Flame Pokemon. Charmeleon mercilessly destroys its foes using its sharp claws. If it encounters a strong foe, it turns aggressive. In this excited state, the flame at the tip of its tail flares with a bluish white color.
Pangoro, the Daunting Pokémon .Pangoro has an ornery personality. It holds a bamboo sprig in its mouth, which allows Pangoro to detect surrounding movements.
Aegislash, the Royal Sword Pokemon. Apparently, it can detect the innate qualities of leadership. According to legend, whoever it recognizes is destined to become king.
Delibird, the Delivery Pokémon. Delibird's most unique attack is giving presents, however, some of these presents have been known to explode. Sometimes, Delibird's presents can actually restore energy to its opponents.
"Nice team," Bolt complemented.
"Thanks! Delibird was the reason why I won against Ramos," Molly told the trio. Delibird smiled lightly as Pangoro laughed, causing the ice type to pout.
"How did you beat Korrina and her Mega Lucario?" Tyson inquired.
"Oh, um, Dewott was able to help seal the win," Molly responded, laughing a bit. Bolt eyes the female badge collector and the Unova Pokemon carefully before seeing his friends release their Pokemon. Hawlucha immediately looked at Molly and then turned to Aegislash, who chuckled.
"Well, well, well, look what the Rattata dragged in," the ghost type said. Hawlucha growled and walked towards the dual type.
"I'm surprised you're still walking after last time," Hawlucha said, smirking.
"Hawlucha, what are you saying?" Alexis asked.
"Your excuse is saying I'm the reason he and the rest of his excuse of a gang was in that hospital."
"You beat Hawlucha?" Frogadier questioned, shocked at the statement. He looked over at the crossed armed hawk. "I don't think I'll barely keep up with Hawlucha, but Aegislash could, and with the others."
"My, my, looks like there's a quarrel here folks," Ramos stated, kneeling down at the two bickering Pokemon. "I think the only way to solve this here feud is with a good ol fashioned battle." The gym leader smiled as the two female trainers shrug their shoulders.
"If that's what you want, Hawlucha," Alexis said, rubbing her head.
"Do you want to go through with it?" Molly questioned once more. The Pokemon shook their heads, prompting the start of an intense fight.
The group walked to the back of the Pokemon Center and took their individual places. Bolt walk to the referee part and raised his hands.
"This will be a one on one battle between Alexis and Molly! There will be no substitutions and the winner will be decided when the opponent is unable to continue! Begin!"
Alexis + Hawlucha vs Molly + Aegislash
"Start off with Sacred Sword, Aegislash!" Molly commanded, throwing her hand up.
Aegislash lifted his sword and flew forward. Hawlucha grinned and got into a karate stance. As the hawk awaited his opponents attack, he motioned Aegislash to come faster, which enraged the Royal Sword Pokemon.
"Use Brick Break to counter the attack, then use Fire Punch as a hammer!"
Hawlucha's arms glowed white as he took the attack head on. Once he threw Aegislash off of him, one of his hands were encased in flames. The Wrestling Pokemon took a huge leap and the air and prepared to smash his burning hand down.
"Iron Defense!" Molly countered, with a smile on her face.
Immediately, Aegislash shifted his body. His sword laid behind his shield as Hawlucha stuck the Pokemon. Aegislash then glowed a bright silver color, which threw the hawk off of him. Hawlucha rolled on the ground a few times before regaining his balance.
"Fly in with Wing Attack!" Alexis ordered, trying to change up the tempo.
Hawlucha opened his wings wide as they glowed white. The dual type ran forward before he finally leaped off the ground. Aegislash waited patiently for Molly's next command, as he saw the hawk descend.
"Uppercut with Iron Head!"
Aegislash quickly switched out of his Shield Stance and got reverted to his former position. Tucking his head, Aegislash charged up the silver radiance swirling around his head. With a huge leap, Hawlucha felt Aegislash smash into his stomach. This time, the Royal Sword Pokemon added a twirl to his attack, which drilled into Hawlucha's stomach. The hawk fell back first on the hard battlefield and wiped his face. A huge bruise was around his stomach as he held it firmly.
"Looks like you've gotten weaker," Aegislash pointed out, to Hawlucha's discomfort.
"Please, you really think you've won this battle?" Hawlucha questioned his opponent, who twirled his sword around.
"I know I did," Aegislash answered sharply. "It's actually not entirely your fault. I was caught by a great trainer, while you descended farther than a Diglett using Dig."
"You better take back what you said about Alexis!" Hawlucha demanded.
"You're in no position to talk. If you want to lose this badly, I guess I'll help you," Aegislash responded. Hawlucha turned back and looked at his trainer, who looked back with fierce determination.
"Hawlucha, let's show him he's wrong!" Alexis barked, much to the trainer and Pokemons' surprise. Hawlucha nodded as Alexis straightened her Mega Bracelet.
"Use Flying Press!"
Without hesitation, Hawlucha leaped into the air once more. His body had a light red aura around it as he began to fall down towards Aegislash.
"After the mode change, fly in with a charged up Shadow Ball!"
Once Aegislash switch modes, he began to create a growing orb of darkness in front of his shield. Once the ball was at correct size, he flew back off the ground to attempt to meet Hawlucha head-on.
"Keep flying down, but regain some health with Roost!"
Some of Hawlucha's feathers fell off of the eagle as he descended down. The white feathers twirled around Hawlucha as his energy began to be replenished. The Wrestling Pokemon met Aegislash head on while Molly uttered a new command.
"Slash Hawlucha with a Sacred Sword!"
Quickly, Aegislash changed his form and lifted his sword up high. As he began to slam it down, Alexis grinned and snapped her fingers.
"Keep the stride with Fire Punch!"
Aegislash couldn't finished his attack as Hawlucha's feathers blinded his vision. The dual type stopped trying to see once he felt a burning sensation in his gut. With a quick glance, he saw Hawlucha have a blazing fist into his stomach. Aegislash was thrown back to the ground, slowly standing up while Hawlucha landed safely.
"Use Wing Attack, Hawlucha!"
"Block it with Iron Defense!"
Hawlucha's wings glowed once more as he dashed towards Aegislash. The Royal Sword Pokemon switched back into his shield form and emanated a bright silver aurora.
"Now use Aegislash as leverage to use Flying Press!"
Smirking, Hawlucha took another leap into the air and jumped on Aegislash's back. Putting most of his power in his feet, the hawk flew into the air. Aegislash picked himself up and watched as the flying type glowed a light red color.
"Shoot him out the sky with Flash Cannon!"
Aegislash reverted to his normal form and extended his shield high into the air. A small gray orb was created in front of his shield. In a matter of seconds, the orb shot up forward in the form of a blast.
"Fly down with Karate Chop!"
Hawlucha pushed his glowing hands forward and took the blast head on. Because of the height he was at, Hawlucha was able to counter the strong blast.
"Once Hawlucha gets to the ground, use a Sacred Sword assault!"
Hawlucha didn't have have time to relax as Aegislash raced forward with his glowing sword. The Wrestling Pokemon was repeatedly cut by the sword before Alexis answered back.
"Evade with Swords Dance, then use a Fire Punch and Karate Chop combination!"
Aegislash pushed his sword out towards Hawlucha, who moved out the way. Trying again, Aegislash tried to hit Hawlucha, but he kept dancing away. Seeing his opponent was getting tired, Hawlucha's arms glowed white and then had orange and red flames swirling around them. Swinging both hands up in the air and then down, both body parts made contact with Aegislash. The Royal Sword Pokemon dropped to the ground and angrily looked up at Hawlucha. Without a command, Aegislash took his sword and slashed Hawlucha's back.
"Hawlucha! Are you okay?" Alexis questioned. Hawlucha didn't respond and hit Aegislash with another Fire Punch. The duo continued to viciously attack each other as their trainers tried to stop them.
"Shock Wave!" A voice called, making the trainers look up into the sky.
A cat had electricity around her like a hula hoop before she swat it down. Hawlucha and Aegislash was swallowed by the voltage and dropped to one knee. The feline landed on the battlefield and courted. Tyson looked at the Normal Type in shock before running towards her.
"Delcatty! I can't believe you're here!" the hatred boy said, hugging the Pokemon.
"And I guess you don't care about little 'ol me then, huh?" a female voice asked. Tyson turned around and saw his mother, Kira, standing with her arms crossed.
"Mom? What are you doing here?" Tyson questioned while in a bear hug from his mom.
"First off, I was here as a guest judge for the Wallace Cup," she said, releasing her son from her grip. "Then I come and see two Pokemon trying to rip each other to shreds!"
"You two need to apologize to one another!" Molly demanded, to which Alexis agreed.
"Hold up! The Pokemon need to apologize to you," Kira said, which shocked the teen girls. "They disobeyed your orders to stop. So what if they wanted to kill one another, what matters is the closeness of trainer and Pokemon."
"Alexis, I'm sorry," Hawlucha said, looking ashamed.
"Molly, I shouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me," Aegislash stated, bowing to his trainer. The duo smiled and accepted their Pokemon's apologies. Then, the fighting duo looked at each other and sighed. "Hawlucha, even though I don't want to admit it, you've gotten stronger."
"Aegislash, I've been on the wrong road for a long time. It stopped once you defeated me, and when Alexis risked her life for me. I thank you for that."
The two dual types nodded and shook hands. The trainers smiled as Tyson looked at his mother again.
"Mom, what's the other reason you're here?"
"Oh, I'm here to see your Gym battle and see you compete in the Wallace Cup!" Kira exclaimed, clasping her hands together.
"Wallace Cup? Sorry, but I'm not doing that," Tyson said, shaking his head.
"Yeah you are because I signed you up!" Kira responded.
"Aw man! You mean you're going to be here watching my battles and I have to compete in a contest. This sucks," Tyson moped in his seat, with Snivy and Frogadier comforting him.
"Tyson, since we haven't battled more months now, let's do it now!" Molly proposed. "I won't use Aegislash, but I'd like it to be a 4 vs 4!" Tyson immediately jumped at and smiled.
"Alright! I'll get some training in before my gym battle!" Tyson cheered, cracking his knuckles.
"Good thing I won't have to wait to see my son battle," Kira said, smiling. Delcatty purred as she rubbed against her trainer.
"Alright, it's fighting time!" Tyson exclaimed, grabbing one Poke Ball from his belt.
"I'm ready when you are!" Molly responded, grabbing one of her own.
"This will be a four on four Pokemon Battle between Molly and Tyson! The winner will be decided when all of the opponents Pokemon are unable to battle. Molly, choose your Pokemon!" Bolt announced, throwing his arms in the air.
"Delibird, battle dance!" the Plateau called, releasing the Santa's helper.
"Cranidos, it's fighting time!" Tyson threw his Poke Ball into the air. Once it reached its apex, the Sinnoh Fossil jumped down and excitedly jumped in the air.
"This will be a battle between Cranidos and Delibird! Begin!"
Tyson + Cranidos + 3 Pokemon vs Molly + Delibird + 3 Pokemon
Yay, another cliffhanger! I'm the absolute best! Any way, Alexis and Molly's battle went out of control and Tyson's mom, Kira, stopped it. You can bet next time will be an epic fight!
Thoughts on the battle?

Tyson and Molly go head to head once again in this winner take all showdown. Both have improved from the last time they fought, and the fight only puts each trainer to their limits. But the question remains, who will become victorious?
