Hey everyone, RK here wanting to apologize for not updating after so long. I had to go to Vegas to seal up the urn holding my Grandfather's ashes and after that, I got a nasty cold that left me coughing for days on and while I did get that design job I wanted it's been draining me. thankyou for understanding and let's get on with the story.

At the Eterna Gym, Lynn stood across from the Gym Leader Gardenia, "I saw your performance at the Tournament and excited to see what you can do here, without the restrictions of using one type," she said.

"Oh don't worry, I won't be underestimating you just because you're a Grass Gym Leader," Lynn said.

"I hope so, Go Tangrowth," Gardenia said.

Sensing how strong Tangrowth thanks to her Aura, Lynn knew her newer Pokémon won't be able to survive, "Pidgeot, come on out," she said sending out her first Flying-type Pokémon.

"Wow what a beautiful Pidgeot," Dawn said but noticed something, "Hey what's with the thing around Pidgeot's left leg?" She asked Brock.

"That is a surprise for later," Brock said chuckling at Dawn's pout.

"Pidgeot: Air Slash then get in close with Aerial Ace then Twin Wing Attack," Lynn said starting the match with a critical hit to boot.

"Tangrowth use Giga Drain now that Pidgeot is close," Gardenia said starting off her counter. Watching Pidgeot's energy slowly being drained the Gym Leader kept up the heat, "Now follow it up with Poison Powder," she barked out watching her Pokémon release a purple powder from its hands.

Now that Pidgeot has been poisoned, Lynn knew it was time to switch out, "Pidgeot return, Froslass come on out," she said sending out her Ghost/Ice-type Pokémon. Before Gardenia could call out a move, Lynn blocked her off, "Froslass: Hail then follow it up Icy Wind and Ice Shard," she said.

While the cold winds howled Tangrowth was continuously hit with small pieces of ice, "Now Froslass, Will-O-Wisp followed by Spikes," Lynn called out burning Tangrowth and setting up for her next Pokémon. "Let's wrap this up with Winter's Wrath," Lynn barked up having her Froslass use up every Ice-type move the Ice/Ghost-type Pokémon knew winning the battle.

As the Hail drew to a close, Gardenia sent out her second Pokémon, "Carnivine let's do this," she said bringing out a Pokémon that resembled a Venus Flytrap. Landing on the field, Carnivine took some damage from the spikes on the field, "Carnivine: Faint Attack followed by Crunch," the Gym Leader instructed knowing that with the two Dark-type moves, Froslass would take a bit more damage than normal as the dual-typed Pokémon is weak to Dark-type moves.

"Froslass use Hail once more then follow it up with Avalanche," Lynn said using the cold winds to block her intentions of using Avalanche to box Carnivine in.

"Carnivine: Magical Leaf then once that hits Froslass use another Faint Attack Crunch combo," Gardenia barked out knowing that Faint Attack would be her only way of efficiently finding and critically injuring her challenger's Pokémon.

"Widespread Ice Shard then use Burning Blizzard," Lynn said as Burning Blizzard is a combo of Will-O-Wisp and Blizzard. Now that Carnivine was hit with a Burn status effect, Lynn was going in for a kill, "Froslass: Frost Shard," she said winning the battle.

"Everything relies on you, Torterra," Gardenia said.

"So this is what Turtwig will evolve into," Lynn muttered after scanning her final opponent with the Pokedex, "Definitely will be bringing Venusaur to help with the change of strategy due to the change in weight.

"Froslass start things off with Hail and Blizzard," Lynn said seeing that Hail's effects were wearing off.

"Torterra time to see the light by using Sunny Day," the Gym Leader countered surprising Lynn.

"So Hail won't be working for me this time around huh," she muttered before seeing that Torterra fired off a Solar Beam. "Crap, Froslass: Double Team then fire off an Ice Shard then a Will-O-Wisp," she barked out sighing in relief as a copy if Froslass switched with a duplicate then manipulated both ice and fire using the Ice Shard to make most of the damage then give Torterra a Burn status. Seeing Froslass was slowly growing tired, Lynn new she had to switch, "Froslass return, Pidgeot return to the field," she said as the effects of Poison kicked in before Lynn cured it with a berry, "Pidgeot: Air Slash followed by Air Cutter," Lynn barked out keeping her distance knowing that going in close could mean doom for her.

"Torterra: Magical Leaf then Stone Edge," Gardenia countered.

Seeing the distance was quickly shortening between Magical Leaf and Pidgeot, Lynn went to work, "Pidgeot: Double Team," she said seeing the duplicate of the Dual-type Pokémon while the Magical Leaf suddenly did a U-turn to the Pidgeot behind Torterra until it made another turn but the attack hit Torterra. "Excellent, now let's go with a sniper assault," Lynn said winning the battle.

Taking the Cycling Road to Hearthome City; Brock's egg hatching into a Happiny, the group made it to a small town for a special day . . . . Well, special day for the women but a living hell for the men. "I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish something happened today," Brock said as he was forced to carry the shopping bags for his female companions.

"I'm so happy that I turned into a girl," Lynn said giggling.

"I still don't understand why the female mind does this," Lucario said being forced to hold a couple bags himself.

"Lucario, I don't think any man knows the mind and thoughts of a woman," Brock said.

Spending a bit more time in a couple more stores, along making Brock and Lucario sweet a little bit more, the girls were finished shopping as Lynn showed off her newest outfit that consists of a down slit keyhole midriff plunging house, showing the straps of her lace bra, with a steampunk shrug as her bottom half is a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of wedges. Around her hips is a hanging belt that holds her Pokéballs.

A week or so later, the group was resting at a Pokémon Center for a quick break watching Cynthia's match against Lucian. "So who would win Lance or Cynthia?" Lynn asked keeping her eyes on the screen.

"Honestly it could be anyone's guess," Brock said feeding Happiny, "Both are tough trainers so it will be a tough battle."

"Hey did you hear?" A random trainer said after the fight was over, "People are saying the Sinnoh Champion is at the nearby ruins not too far from here," he said.

"Then what are we doing standing around here for, let's go," the other trainer said as the three raced off.

"Meeting the Champion," Dawn said in wonder, "Come on, I'm not missing a chance like this," she said getting up pulling Lynn and Brock.

Arriving at the ruins in question, the three spotted the Sinnoh Champion herself. "Wow, so this is a regional champion," Dawn said in awe.

Scanning the crowd, Lynn found the scowling face of Paul as he pushed past the crowd. "Cynthia Shirona, I, Paul Shinji, of Veilstone City challenge you to a one vs six battle," he announced surprising everyone.

"What? Is he insane, even if he uses six Pokémon Cynthia will still crush him," a trainer said as the crowd started whispering.

"I see," Cynthia said closing her eyes, "As this region's champion I accept your challenge to a one on six battle." Getting a good distance away from the ruins, both trainers were ready as a crowd started to form around them.

Watching the fight from the beginning, Lynn was trying to figure out the reasoning behind Paul's tactic in his battle against the fucking Champion of all people. Seeing him smirk as Garchomp used Giga Impact, Lynn narrowed her eyes, "So that's his plan," she muttered, "But just because that Giga Impact forces the user into a recovery mode doesn't mean that they're defenseless," she muttered.

Watching Cynthia crush Paul's entire team was very satisfying for Lynn, and grinning when Buizel disobeyed Paul's every order, "You may be a good trainer Paul, but you lack something to be a truly strong trainer," the Sinnoh Champion said once the battle was over.

"What do you mean? The only thing that makes a trainer strong is Power," Paul said narrowing his eyes as he frowned. "Things like friendship are useless in a fight . . . . I'm out of here, I would have thought that a champion would agree," he said walking away.

Lynn shook her head, "When will you learn that Power isn't everything," she muttered.

Hearing this, Cynthia turned her attention to Lynn and company, "Ah, you must be Lynn, Lance and Steven have spoken about you and it's a pleasure to finally meet you," the Sinnoh champion said walking over to them.

"I didn't think I was that popular," Lynn said.

"Oh it was after Lance kept rambling on and on about a trainer that peaked his interest that I was somewhat curious but not enough to actively see for myself. But it was only after Steven started to talk about you himself that it started peaking my interest," Cynthia said.

Nearing a river stream on their way to Hearthome city, the three found Zoey's Glameow and Misdreavus in a panic and following them, they found Zoey with her ankle a bit bruised but was easily taken care of with Lynn's Aura. "So Dawn, have you already thought out some combinations for the Double Performance Contest?" Zoey asked.

"Oh I have a couple ideas but I'm not saying anything at the moment," Dawn replied. Making a quick stop in a small town, the group of four enjoyed some hot cocoa for the slightly chilly weather.

Helping an Electrike focus its Electric-type attack a few days after parting ways with Zoey and Dawn gains a new Pokémon in the form of Mismagius, who's prankster nature reminded Lynn of Haunter.
