Hey everyone yeah I'm a bit of a mess. I had a mini breakdown before pulling myself out of it. As you can guess that's why things are a bit short. Well, that and a bit of difficulty in writing.

Stopping on the way too Coumarine City Ash and Serena stared each other as they started a mock battle. After his loss to Clemont, Ash decided to finally do some training with the latest members of his team. They were in agreement, especially after the last gym battle. Hawlucha's Karate Chop clashed with Krokorok's Shadow Claw before the two of them broke. Overhead Mismagius and Fletchinder were training with Fletchinder rocketing towards the ghost type covered in a Flame Charge. A glow formed over Mismagius body before she fired a Power Gem Fletchinder ducked and waved away from the beam.

Off on the side, Braixen and Frogadier clashed. Water Pulse meeting Psybeam as Frogadier jumped forward an energy blade forming in his hand as he reached for a cut. Braixen smirked hold her want out as she used Psychic to grab him just before he could land a hit. "Close but not close enough."

She tossed him back Frogadier flipping over and landed on his feet. Braixen fired another Psybeam straight at him. Frogadier formed a Water Pulse in his hands and blocked the psychic attack with it. "Hey, I've been meaning to ask about something." He tossed the Water Pulse at her which Braixen danced around. "You ever get this weird feeling in the middle of a battle?"

Braixen raised an eyebrow at his question. "What do you mean?"

Frogadier didn't know how to explain it exactly to her. He couldn't fully describe it himself after all but he tried his best. "Ok its this weird feeling I had since I was with Ash, I first felt it in the battle with Vivillon, and again when I was facing Malamar."

Braixen lowered her wand an inquisitive look on her face. "Do you mean you feel like your one with Ash for the smallest of moments?" He responded with a slow nod and a questioning look. Braixen turned to Serena as she watched her feed Popplio. "I felt that with Serena a few times over the years I didn't think anything of it."

Thinking about it was rather perplexing for the two of them. They both had flashes of feeling as one with their trainers and they had no idea why. Frogadier went with the first thing to come into his head, "You think it's due to Serena being well you know."

Braixen shook her head at this thought. "That doesn't explain why you and Ash have it, plus does it feel like its coming from you or from them?" Braixen's words caused him to think it over a bit more.

While, yes it did feel like they were one the feeling was more coming from within Frogadier. This raised even more question for him. It couldn't be an ability. He had Protean, and Braixen had Blaze after all. 'Just what is this anyway?'

Meanwhile, Ash was trying something of his own. He didn't get time to practice with this. He held out his hand as he tried to form his aura. All he was getting was aglow with a vague barely formed shape. Finally, he lost control of it. Ash sighed in defeat as his latest attempted failed. "What are you doing?"

He turned around finding Anabel standing there with a raised eyebrow. The psychic had learned about Ash's abilities to control aura from both Serena and Ash. From where she was standing control was a bit of a stretch of the word. "I was trying to replicate the thing I did when Darkrai attacked us."

"Wait a Darkrai attacked you?" Anabel's shocked expression caused the raven-haired boy to rub the back of his neck nervously. The psychic shook her head at him. She could ask about why that happened later. "Anywho from where I stand it looks like your trying to force something without knowing how you did it." He gave her a questioning look wondering what she meant. "Tell me what was going through your mind when this first happened."

He thought about that and he really couldn't place it. His mind recalled the events when Darkrai tricked everyone. The Dark Pulse aimed at him and an unconscious Serena. At that moment he had only one thing on his mind to protect Serena. "Serena was hit by a Dark Void and when Darkrai was attacking us I couldn't let him hurt her." The aura gathered back in his hands as the small blade formed within his grasp. "I did it."

As soon as he could celebrate his accomplishment the thing dissipated in his grasp. Anabel giggle as he looked at this is to in disbelief. "Just because you can form it doesn't mean you mastered it." She took his hand and held it open, "You have to keep your concentration on it if you don't want it to break apart."

Ash's hand glowed as the blade formed again. Holding on it he concentrated on it but like before it broke apart yet again. "How can that happen?! I was concreting on it."

"You were doing so yes but you were doing it more than necessary." She explained to him about what had just happened. She didn't know much about aura yet she was starting to see similarities in its control with psychic powers. She had to learn the proper level of control and force otherwise she could end up with her forcing her emotions on others. "If you put too much effort into it it wouldn't be stable either."

Ash tried yet again this time making sure not to overdo it like the previous attempt. Like before the aura blade formed and this time it didn't dissipate almost immediately. He looked at it with triumph before it started to lose its form and finally dissipated. He just looked at where it was almost feeling like he had just been denied a gym battle. "Seriously?!"

Anabel had no idea what else to say about this. She figured that he had done everything right. "Maybe it's because of how strong your aura is?" Serena walked up to the two of them having watched the whole thing. "After all Lucario did say you would have difficulty with controlling it."

With the talk of Ash's powers made Anabel wonder about the honey-haired girl. She could talk to pokemon directly according to Espeon. That raised a question in her mind on how that was possible. "I've been meaning to ask, Serena how do you talk to people?" She didn't think it was psychic powers as they tend to speak to her. "Is it aura?"

Serena and Ash looked at one another silence between them before Serena decided it was as good a time as any to tell her. "Not really see well I'm not exactly human." Anabel was just about to ask what she meant when Serena was covered in the glow of blue, green, and red. When the light dissipated Anabel's eyes went wide as Serena stood before her as Sereginia. "I'm actually kinda a Pokemon."

The violet-haired girl didn't move or react at all. She just stared at Serena wide eyes and mouth a gap. Ash waved his hand in front of her face. "Anabel are you still with us?" No sooner as he said those words did she faint almost hitting the ground before Serena caught her. "I guess that answers that question."


Anabel looked as Serena unsure about what to say. She had stayed Sereginia until she came too. With confirmation that it wasn't a crazy dream, she had so many questions for her. Having switched back to her human self Serena tried as best she could. "So you were born nearly died was reborn but Zygarde ended up turning you into a Pokemon because of it?" She was given a nod confirming what she just said was correct. "Your half Pokemon, your called Sereginia, and your Zygarde's daughter?"

"Yeah, that's about the gist of it," Serena answered as she looked at Anabel who took this all in. The girl didn't know what exactly to do with this revelation. Before her literally sat a Legendary. What else could she call the daughter of one? Anabel was conflicted on what to do. "Honestly I prefer to just be seen as who I am then what I am."

With that, a small silence came over the group as Anabel finally processed everything. Apart of her couldn't help but feel unworthy of this degree of trust. "Why tell me any of this?" She looked at the two of them.

Serena shot her a friendly smile. "Well, it's because your our friend, and I feel like if we're going to be traveling with us you deserve to know about it."

A light blush formed on her face at these words. It was strange but she felt rather happy at hearing those words coming out of her mouth. Ash looked at the two of them with a smile. He suddenly remembered something. "Wait Serena don't you need training for your powers?"

Serena paused as she thought about this. Usually, she didn't need to do much in training. After all, she didn't have that much in the way of trouble with her abilities beforehand. Yet when she tried to help with Yveltal it just felt like she couldn't control any of it. What if they really needed it sometime soon? "I think I do." She looked at everyone around her. "I mean Ash we saw how bad I did when had to stop Yveltal, I can't control them."

The boy in question gave her a comforting smile. "Hey don't worry you have me, Anabel, and all our Pokemon to help you out!"

At this declaration, she looked around as with smiles on the faces on everyone's faces. Serena couldn't help but feel herself smile back at all of this. Shadows started to move over the group as Fletchinder looked up. "Why are a flock of Swanna…" Something dropped off from one of them and came landing right on Ash's face knocking him from his seat. "Was that a blob?"

Ash pulled the thing that landed on him from his face. Getting a look at it Fletchinder's question about it being a blob wasn't misplaced as it looked like a light purple pile of goo. Its upper half was a lighter shade than its lower half with green dots around its body. Serena looked at it in surprise. "A Goomy?" She stopped as she realized it didn't look too well slightly dehydrated and was injured badly. "Audino Heal Pulse quick its injured!"

The Hearing Pokemon didn't have to be told twice. She walked to it and held her hands out as the healing glow covered it. Its wounds were mostly healed and yet it still looked unwell to Ash as he placed Goomy down. He saw Serena looking through her bag. "What are you looking for?"

"Water the Goomy looks dehydrated." She pulled out a bottle of it and started to pour the water on the slug-like pokemon.

Anabel looked as the slug-like pokemon started to look a bit more colorful than before. "You seem to know a lot about this."

"Well there's a wetland near Lumiose City, Professor Sycamore occasionally had me come along when I was visiting the lab," Serena explained remembering the times she had visited the swampy landscape. The Pokemon that inhabited the wetland were extremely friendly, playing with her when she had come by. She always hated the mud though.

Ash pulled out his Pokedex to get some information on Goomy. "Goomy, the Soft Tissue Pokémon, and the weakest of all Dragon-types. In order to keep its body moist, Goomy lives in places where it's dark and damp."

Goomy started to come too groaning as he opened his eyes. "Where am I?" His eyes looked at the three humans around him. He stopped as he looked at Serena feeling like he knew her from somewhere. "You look familiar," He finally placed it after looking at her hair, "Wait you're that little human girl who could understand us!"

"That's me alright." It seemed that Goomy was from the wetlands after all. This did raise a question as to why he fell from a Swanna.

Mawile got up on next to Goomy to greet him. A smile plastered on her face as she held her hand out to him. "Hi, Goomy it's nice to meet-"

She didn't get to finish as Goomy moved away from her with terror on his face. "Fairy…" He fell down as he backed away landing with a thud. He groaned but his eyes when even wider when he saw Sylveon and Gardevoir. "Fairies!" The terror was too much for him to take and with that Goomy fainted.

Silence gripped everyone as Popplio turned to her Serena confused by what had just happened. "Mama, why was Goomy afraid of auntie Mawile, Sylveon, and Gardevoir?"

Serena didn't have an answer to her question. It was known that Dragon types were weak against Fairy types, but that wasn't a reason for him to be terrified. She's seen too many Pokemon getting along despite being weak to one another on that front. Something had happened that was sure.

Anabel placed her hand on him and tried to see just what it was that caused him to be so terrified. Her eyes glowed as she tried to read focusing as well as she could on this. "Something traumatizing has happened to him and rather recently I might add."

She pulled her hand back as Goomy started to come to he tried moving away a bit at the sight of Sylveon. Closing his eyes he expected the worst to happen to him. Images of events that had just happened flashed through his mind. "No, no please don't hurt me!"

Ash knelt down to Goomy slowly reaching out to him. Goomy reacted in instinct and used one of the only twos move that he knew. A small rain cloud formed over Ash as he was soon being pelted by the localized Rain Dance. Despite being annoyed by the rain Ash didn't stop has his hand touched Goomy as he spoke in a soft comforting voice. "Hey, it's alright we're not going to hurt you ok."

The rain cloud started to dissipate over Ash's head as Goomy opened his eyes. He took a deep breath as he looked at them. They all looked back at him with concern on their faces. "Sorry I just."

He tried to look away from the others ashamed at all of this. Serena leaned down next him with a smile on her face. "No need to worry we understand." Having calmed down after his episode Ash decided to introduce the three of them to him. "My name is Ash, this is my girlfriend Serena, and our fiend Anabel."

Goomy was a bit confused by the whole girlfriend thing. "If Anabel's your friend wouldn't that mean you have two girlfriends?" His words were innocent yet he caused two of the three of them to blush like mad. "What did I say?"

Sceptile decided to clear up the confusion for him. Sometimes the Forest Pokemon wondered why humans had to be so strange. "Serena and Ash are mates, that's basically what he meant with the whole girlfriend comment."

His words shed some light on Goomy but the slug-like pokemon still seemed confused. "Ok, but why can't they both be his mate?"

No one responded to this as they looked at him. Mismagius floated over as she remembered something. "That's right I remember seeing it on tv once the Goomy-line is one of a few that have polygamous relationships along with a few others." She started to list them from memory. "Let's see there are the Wooper-line, Saladits, and Salazzles-"

Pikachu raised his paw to stop her from listing all the things he did not want to know. "Ok, we get it."

Anabel turned to her friends a tiny bit annoyed by this. True she could telepathically talk to pokemon doing so directly was another matter. To sum up she felt rather let out with this. "What did he say?"

Ash and Serena both looked at one another before Serena decided the answer. "To sum up, he kinda wondered why we both aren't Ash's mates."

A blush spread on Annabel's face at the thought of it. "What why would he think that?" She stopped before asking as a thought crossed her mind. "He wouldn't happen to be from a polygamous species would he?"

"Yep, he is," Serena answered back having overheard all of what Mismagius had said. An awkward silence filled the air for the next few moments. Deciding to change the subject Serena decided to ask the slug-like pokemon a question, "What happened? Why were you with that Swanna flock?"

The honey-haired girl's words caused him to remember. His home was under attack and his friends. A horrified expression filled his face before he screamed at them with a desperate tone. "Please, you got to help my home is in danger!"

"Wait your home is in danger!" Ash yelled out mostly for Anabel. Serena looked at the rest of them. It seemed they were going to have to take a detour on heading to Coumarine City. She looked at the rest of the group. If his home was the nearby wetlands then they were going to have to find some way to get there quickly.


Lysandre looked out the window as he couldn't get AZ's words out of his mind. The immortal said that there was another. As much as he wanted to dismiss this as crazed ramblings on the Immortal's part he just couldn't. Maybe he was crazy but Zygarde Cores do not straight up and abandon their section of the world for no reason.

Something was out there. It was the only reason that made any sense to the burly man. What this meant could be any number of things. A knock caught his attention as Celosia walked in. The Team Flare Admin had been put in charge of watching their guest. "Sir I have to ask AZ keeps telling us that we are going to fail in our goal is that true?"

Lysandre looked out the window as his eyes focused on her vague reflection. "He's talking about something stopping us Celosia." He turned his head towards her his expression neutral. "There's something that he believes will stop us from succeeding."

She stared at him confused by what any of this meant. As far as she could tell he was just yelling nonsense and Lysandre was taking it as fact. "You seriously can't be considering his word?"

Lysandre walked up to her staring her down causing Celosia to feel slightly intimidated. He had already thought about it. He knew that if there was even the slightest chance that they could fail they had to take it as fact. "I have thought it over Celosia and while we shouldn't trust his word this warning may have merit giving Zygarde's erratic behavior the past few years."

"That does make a certain level of sense." It didn't seem very likely but what if the immortal's words were true then that meant they had something to look out for. An unknown that could stop them if they couldn't take it out. "But how would we even find it?"

She brought up a good point, one that made Lysandre curse. Mentally he raced looking for something in his mind that could help them. Its then he realized that there was someone who could help with that assuming it was true. "I'm heading to Anistar City to speak to Olympia perhaps she could tell me about this."

It was a huge risk on his part. The psychic could see the future and if he wasn't careful his presence could cause her to see his. A risk he was willing to take to learn about just what was the thing that AZ was talking about. As he walked out of the room Celosia shook her head at this. He wasn't usually this reckless or willing to take this big of a risk without being prepared.

The Admins knew that he was suffering from a terminal illness and as such was pushing for the Weapons completion faster than normal. Xerosic had made a breakthrough for that very reason after all. The world they hoped to create would be one Lysandre believed he didn't have a chance of seeing thanks to it. 'You will see your world and whatever it is that would stop it.' She looked out as she made a promise. "Will be destroyed."

She soon left the room as she looked over her design for a robotic arm. A certain someone was going to need it. She wondered if she could ask Aliana about getting a spare Key Stone for it.


The Red Z-Core was not in a good mood. Having been yelled at by the rest of the Z-Core collective for his actions was just infuriating. He didn't even bother to stick around for the rest of it. He had left the chat so to speak. He knew they were trying to get him to join back in so he did the only thing he could.

He suppressed his own powers temporary. With that done they could stop trying to drag him into an argument. He hopped along the small canyon his mind focus on getting home and resting before he does anything else. "Liepard, Dark Pulse!"

He barely had time to dodge as the dark type attack hit the ground in front of him. He was sent flying upwards before landing with a thud. The Z-Core got up as he saw a group of humans dressed in red. The leader of them a woman with green hair took the moment to report in. "We've found Z1 and are preparing for capture!"

There was no way that was ever happening. He focused and nothing happened. "What why…" He cursed himself as he realized his mistake. "By Arceus, I'm an idiot!"

He turned around and tried to run. If he could just get away he could break the stupid seal he put on himself. Sadly that wasn't happening as another Dark Pulse struck the ground just in front of him. "No use running!"

He cursed as he felt a shock his body in pain from a Thunderbolt. He collapsed as the leader of the group readied a specially made to cage to hold him. As she did he managed to break his seal just enough to send a message with all his might and will. "I've been captured!"

Bryony looked at the now caged Z-Core. It was hard to believe that this was really one of the pieces of Zygarde, the living incarnation of the Balance of Life and Death. He glared back at her with his sole eye. "This is Bryony our capture of Z1 was a complete success."

Xerosic's voice came over her receiver. It was clear he was so giddy at the turn of events. "I'm impressed Bryony I can't wait to see Z1 for myself."

"Understood sir." Bryony turned to the Flare grunts with her. "Alright let's head back." As they left the area the Red Z-Core now codenamed Z1 lookout as he just knew that this was all his fault.


Draped in his cloak Tobias walked on the docks making sure not to draw attention to himself. Sinnoh was on high alert after his break out. He always hovered over Hydreigon's pokeball just in case they need to escape. "Hey what are you doing here?"

Tobias was almost about to unleash Hydreigon when he stopped. It wasn't a cop but a sailor on one of the ships. He calmed himself as he spoke to the man. "I'm looking for transportation to Kalos."

"Wouldn't it be quicker to use a plan?" With the security checks on planes that weren't an option for Tobias. Flying there on Hydreigon would be too difficult and take to long as well.

Tobias, of course, needed an excuse to not board a plane. "I don't like planes, you don't know if you'll be hit by a Talonflame, or a supersonic Pidgeot after all."

The sailor crossed his arms as he looked at Tobias his expression stern. After a tense second, he gave him a wide smile. "I know right you think people are crazy for flying thousands of feet about the world." He closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "Sadly it's not up to me it's up to the Captain."

'I'm ok with it provided he's willing to help us during the trip.' A telepathic voice spoke to the two of them. Joining the both of them was an Alakazam wearing a captain's outfit with both of his spoons held in his vest pocket. 'After all, it's not the first time we've done this remember that giant when we docked in Unova?'

A nod came from him as the sailor still couldn't believe anyone could be that big. "Yeah I remember Captain," He shook his head at this. "He's the guy won somehow won you a year's worth of pokepuffs."

The Alakazam had a laugh at this. After such a win he would gladly allow that man to travel with them free of charge. 'So my boy are you ok with working on your trip?'

Working on the ship that would carry him to Kalos was nothing if not agreeable to him. Tobias gave The Captain a nod. "I expected nothing else sir."

Alakazam held his hand out with a smile on his face. Tobias shook the Psi Pokemon's hand. 'Welcome aboard.' The captain lead Tobias to the ship that would be taking him to Kalos. A small cargo vessel likely transporting basic materials. 'Now we will be passing by water with some rather aggressive Gyarados you won't happen to have any Pokemon with you?'

"Yes, I do don't worry." The Gyarados would be great for practice. His friends had gotten rather rusty after so long. They would need it when they reach Kalos and track down the two who denied him justice. A smile formed on his face as he followed the captain on deck. 'Pray that Yveltal has mercy on you both, with Arceus as my witness I will end you both no matter what!'


Goomy has finally appeared! I had been debating on to have him or Noibat be next to join. The debate was no contest. Don't worry Noibat will be coming, and I can't wait to show what I have planned for when he shows up. Oh and yes the Alakazam captain was me basically using the fact we had have Pokemon working with people.

Now then let's get on with the questions.

saptarshiban2003- Perhaps. I don't want to spoil too much after all.

Ri2- Yeah they are in a relationship. It was vaguely hinted at after all. Korrina is teaming up with a fellow gym leader for Malva's tournament and now you know who.A good question on Lysandre, unlike his canon counterpart in the anime or games this one has a different reason for using his Weapon. Well different in it's not about the resources of the world, this one knows that humanity and pokemon kind will find a way around it. I hinted about it in the first special but in the next, you'll learn all about his reasons. Finally as for how Yveltal could cureFloette. Floette was dying and as the death bringer, he can spare people and pokemon from the embrace of death. He can also bring the dead back to life a power Xerneas also has as well.

Anyway, I'm turning in cya all next time and remember. You are the best readers I could ever ask for. :)
