Colt's POV

The Pokemon League in Hoenn was even fancier than the one in Kalos, this one had a whole city built around it, people lived here all year round. Evergrande City was incredible. There were almost no familiar faces and as soon as I registered the opening ceremony took place and I had my first opponent, a man named Sidney.

"My first round opponent is some kid?" he looked down on me as we passed on the way out to the battlefield.

"You'll regret saying that." I looked up at him.

"Just don't go crying to your mommy when you lose without defeating a single one of my Pokemon." He smirked.

"Tsk, you'll be the one who goes home crying." I laughed.


Korrina's POV

"Go Colt!" I cheered from the upper box with all the Hoenn Gym Leaders in it, Roxanne had given me permission to stay with them, I had even called back home to tell the others to watch the League on the TV.

"This match will be 5 on 5!" the referee said.

"Sidney is usually ruthless." Flannery noted "He won't hold back at all."

"Don't worry." I smiled "Colt's used to taking on tough guys and knocking them down a few pegs."

"BEGIN!"

"Mightyena!" Sidney sent out his first Pokemon.

"Zangoose!"

Colt sent out his first Pokemon and his first fight of the Hoenn Pokemon League began.

"Mightyena Crunch!"

"Zangoose block that and then use Power-Up Punch!"

Zangoose batted the sharp teeth of Mightyena away and swung its other claw around to smash Mightyena and force it back.

"Swagger!"

Mightyena growled and Zangoose glared at it, sharpening its claws for battle.

"Take Down!"

"Crush Claw!"

Zangoose brought his claw down and totally whiffed, Mightyena slamming into him from behind.

"Focus come on, Crush Claw!"

Again Zangoose swiped its huge claws but hit air only to get tackled from behind.

"Oh no Zangoose is all confused!" I gasped.

"He can get passed this." Brawly noted.

"Zangoose listen!" Colt yelled "Spin! Now Crush Claw!"

Zangoose rotated on one leg and swung all around it. Mightyena charged in too fast to stop and got slammed with an attack.

"Damn, covering all sides." Sidney yelled "Crunch!"

"Ready!" Colt yelled "Detect!"

Zangoose lowered under Mightyena's jaws and then came up fast "Revenge!"

Mightyena was sent flying back towards its master, returning, Colt marking his first knock out of the League.

"GRR!" Sidney growled.

"Ready to start crying?" Colt taunted.

"Shiftry!"

A large white haired grass Pokemon landed and readied to fight.

So this guy likes Dark-Type Pokemon.

"Zangoose Power-Up Punch!"

"Shiftry Leaf Blade!"

"Change position and Block!" Colt warned.

Zangoose got a claw up and blocked the strike.

"Extrasensory!"

Zangoose was suddenly thrown back by a Psychic attack, getting knocked out in the process.

"That was fast!" I gasped.

"Sidney has strong Pokemon." Roxanne noted.

"Breloom!"

"He's gonna use a Fighting-Type when he knows the other Pokemon knows a Psychic-Type move?" I wondered.

"Fighting is still strong against Dark." Brawly said "So it makes sense."

"Get in and use Drain Punch!"

Breloom skipped forward and Shiftry pulled its arms up.

"Leaf Blade!"

Breloom easily avoided that strike and got a big punch off.

"Extrasensory!"

"Stun Spore!"

Before Shiftry could get its attack off it was covered in yellow spores and froze.

"Sky Uppercut!"

Breloom drilled Shiftry and knocked it out.

"Cacturne!"

Another Grass-Dark Type Pokemon appeared and Breloom was already darting in for a strike.

"Spiky Shield!"

Breloom jumped back as spikes erupted out of Cacturne.

"Needle Arm!"

"Hit them back with Force Palm!"

The two fists collided and Breloom was stabbed and forced away.

"You gotta get in there!" Colt yelled.

Breloom jumped in for a punch.

"That won't work! Spiky Shield!" Sidney laughed.

Breloom made contact but this time he was shanked by the spikes and Colt had to pull him out.

"Skarmory!"

"SKRRAAA!" the bird roared already flying in.

"Whoa he's not holding back!" I gasped "GO Colt!"

"Steel Wing!"

"Come on are you stupid!" Sidney laughed "Cacturne Spiky Shield!"

Once more sharp spiked erupted out but Skarmory wasn't pulling back.

"What?" Winona wondered.

Skarmory flew through Cacturne, felling the spiked Pokemon.

"Whoa!" the twins gasped.

"Pitiful spikes like that won't scratch my Skarmory!" Colt smirked.

"Sharpedo!"

A shark with huge jaws darted right at Skarmory who flew around to dive bomb it.

"Ice Fang!"

"Steel Wing!"

The two collided but the jaws of Sharpedo brought Skarmory crashing down in a flash forcing Colt to use his fourth Pokemon.

"Vileplume!"

"HMM!" the large flower hummed bouncing arounf.

"Again Ice Fang!" Sidney yelled.

"Use Petal Dance!" Colt instructed.

Vileplume danced around the attack and blasted the shark with a powerful push.

"Poison Fang!"

"That won't bother her at all." Colt smiled "Vileplume Giga Drain!"

Vileplume sucked Sharpedo dry, leaving Sidney with just one Pokemon left.

"Absol!"

"ARRAAA!" The four legged beast roared.

"Aerial Ace!" The beast dashed forward but Vileplume skipped around it, playing like it was a joke.

"TSK!" Sidney was starting to look angry.

Colt just end it, I know you love battle but last time…

"ABSOL!" Sidney roared as his earing stud glowed.

"Is that?"

"Mega Evolution!"

There are other people in this competition that have access to Mega Evolution besides Colt?

Absol transformed into Mega Absol and dashed clean though Vileplume, leaving Colt to depend on one final choice.

"Oh no." I shivered "Mega Absol is what ended Colt's fight in the Kalos Finals."

"I wonder what he'll use?" Roxanne hummed.

"I'm sure it will be something awesome!" Flannery cheered.

"It's come back to this…" Colt said looking at his Pokeball of choice "LET'S GO!"

The ball opened and a Pokemon materialized on the field.

"ARROOOO!"

"LUCARIO!"

"It's Lucario!" I cheered "He must have had it transferred over!"

Lucario instantly Mega Evolved and charged in to fight with the Mega Absol.

"Psycho Cut!" Sidney ordered.

"Dodge!"

Lucario ducked under Absol's horn before coming up with a powerful Close Combat.

Absol darted around and Lucario kept pace, with it.

"Night Slash!"

"Extreme Speed!"

Lucario dashed around and kicked Absol back. The two of them were so in Sync, I hadn't seen Colt this happy in a battle since the League Final in Kalos.

"Lucario finish it this time!" Colt yelled "Close Combat!"

"ARROO!"

Lucario slammed Absol down with a back breaking punch, Colt obtaining victory in the matchup that had failed him last time.


Colt's POV

"You won!" Korrina cheered hugging me.

"Yeah."

"You two were great together!" she smiled high fiving Lucario.

"ARRUF!" he nodded.

"What made you bring Lucario here though?" she asked "I thought you were going to take on Hoenn with just the Pokemon you got here?"

"Well originally I was." I explained "But then I remembered that my Dad said he was proud of me for being myself, so just because Steve suggested it doesn't mean I needed to listen to him. I wanna do things my way. Sides I have so many Pokemon I don't want to neglect them, they should get to have fun and share with this journey too."

"Well good for you guys." Korrina smiled.

"Hey runt!"

Sidney sulked over and looked Colt over.

"That was some trick you pulled off out there." He glared "Not half bad…Good luck in the next round."

"Who are you against in the next round?" I asked.

Colt looked at the board "A woman named Phoebe."
