The Road to Evolution!

The group had made it to another city. Their Pokemon were happily eating that is until Blaze saw Alain's Charizard. On impulse Blaze walked up to him and sucked in a breath. However Charizard quickly swung his tail and whacked him down, Blaze growled and got up and sat down; This was the third time he had tried to flamethrower Charizard in the face or pick a fight; only for Tai or one of the other Pokemon or trainers to tell him no and that he was hopelessly out match.

"That should be the last time for Blaze." Tai replied. "Usually he has to have it beaten into him before he gives up."

"Kind of sounds like you." Alain joked.

"What?" Tai asked.

"Alain how long have you had Charizard?" Hugh asked.

"Since I first was interned at Professor Sycamore's laboratory," Alain replied. "You how Sycamore will sometimes give out Pokemon from other regions right?"

"Yeah that's where Tai, Rosa and I got our Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup from." Hugh replied.

"Well, Charmander was originally from a set that he tried to give out." I watched for a while as Charmander was taken but would always come back.

"Huh? That sounds like my Brother's Froakie." Tai replied. "Many Trainers sent him back before Ash got him. He wouldn't listen to any of them."

"I see. It's similar with Charmander. But he was stubborn and wouldn't listen either he would pick a move other than what the trainer did and while he won battles trainers would get mad. He wasn't listening to them, and basically to quote one of them was apparently so good he didn't need a trainer." Alain replied.

"Sycamore told me that Froakie was picky about trainers. He listened to Ash well enough especially when Ash understood where he was coming from. He told me there was an incident with his Fletchinder back when it was a Fletchling. He got mad because it made Bonnie cry. Ash understood that and worked with him."

"Well back then Charizard didn't really have that problem. He really did felt like he was a better battler and trainer and could fight on his own. He runaway a bunch of times, one day were searching the entire town for him."

"Charmander!" Sycamore yelled calling out to him by Prism tower.

"Charmander this isn't funny come out!" Dexio shouted.

"Please Charmander!" Sina shouted.

Alain was looking all over town he figured calling wouldn't help he was trying to be more stealthy. Charmander wouldn't want to be found. But he suddenly saw something below one of the lower Bridges and rushed to it. It was a small hole.

"Charmander had to have dug this out!" Alain stated he looked around and found a shovel. He bandged it on the wall a few times making it crumble. Alain quickly found himself inside the sewers of Lumiose and made his way forward.

"It's so dark…" Alain muttered a little nervously. However he saw a light at the end of a tunnel carefully he followed it using his footing to make sure he wouldn't fall into the filthy water right beside him. He crossed on some small drift wood and found Charmander growling at a Garbodor that was living in the cave.

"Chhhrrrrrr." He growled as Garbodor smirked at him. Charmander jumped up and used Flamethrower. However Garbodor unleashed a burst of sickly green water that cut through the flamethrower and hit him sending him flying back into the ground.

"Charmander!" Alain cried. "That was Sewage!"

Charmander growled and rushed forward with iron tail only to be immediately hit with Smack down. Alain instantly rushed to Charmander's side and sprayed it with Hyper Potion then tried to pick him up but Charmander bit him making Alain yelp and release Charmander who roared at Garbodor.

"Charmander you can't beat it!" Alain warned but Charmander didn't listen he instead used Dig getting a hit on Garbodor. However Garbodor was quick to hit Charmander with another sewage attack making Charmander cough and Alain could see some of it splashed onto his tail flame.

"Charmander!" Alain stated grabbing him before he could charge again. Charmander bit him Alain however forced himself to endure the bite. "Charmander let me help you! The idea of a Trainer and a Pokemon is to work together not to be a work dog or slave to one another." Alain cried out.

Charmander didn't let go but he did show he was listening. "We can together to beat Garbodor, I just need you to trust me!" That got Charmander to let go and look at Alain curiously. However Garbodor wasn't waiting anymore it charged up.

"Use Dig Quick!" Alain shouted. Charmander nervously but quickly dove underground and disappeared making the smack down miss. Charmander came out of the ground hitting Garbodor hard. He growled and unleashed another smack down.

"Use Iron Tail to send it back!" Alain shouted.

"CHAR MANDER!" he shouted swinging his tail and like a bat hitting the rock back at Garbodor making it scream in pain.

"Now Flamethrower finish it!"

"CHHAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Charmander roared unleashing the storm of flames that engulfed Garbodor and made it fall back. Charmander over joyed ran to Alain.

"You did it!" Alain cried hugging him. Charmander cheered as well hugging Alain back. However as one last spurt of revenge Garbodor blasted them with one last Sewage attack before running off.

Sycamore, Dexio and Sina gathered around. "Did you find him?" Sycamore asked.

"No, and Alain disappeared on us too. "Dexio sighed.

"What are we going to do?" Sina asked as Sycamore started sniffing and crinkling his nose.

"What's that smell?" Sycamore asked.

"Ewww I don't know but it smells awful!" Sina groaned as someone approached them. They turned to see Alain holding Charmander who wasn't struggling but looking just as glum as Alain covered in a liquid that reeked.

"I found him…" Alain sighed.

YX YX YX

Alain blushed laughing a little at the event as he looked back on it. Mairin and Hugh were giggling but Tai was howling with laughter. "That's an amazing story!" Tai stated "I'm just sorry you had to get covered in gunk."

"It's alright." Alain chucked. "We became partners since then. Charmander became much more friendly, but he'll only ever listen to me. Isn't that right?" Alain playfully asked Charizard who snorted playfully.

"I raised my Serperior from an Egg, there was a trainer who had it bred from his Serperior and gave it to me." Hugh replied rubbing his Serperior's head as he purred.

"Rio came from an egg I found too." Tai replied.

"Found?" Alain asked.

"Yeah, he kind of fell of a truck before he was born; none of us know where he came from." Tai replied.

"With how happy with you he looks I doubt he cares." Mairin replied Rio nodded and show his agreement hugged Tai happily.

"Merroowww!" Zelda cried jumping up to Tai's lap.

"Hey Zelda," Tai said petting her.

"How long have you had her?" Hugh asked.

"A couple weeks," Tai replied.

"So not too long ago," Hugh replied.

"Yeah, and we've been working on getting her Psychic under control ever since." Tai replied.

"What's wrong with it?" Hugh asked.

"Well….." Tai said sweat-dropping. Thinking back to the massive blue tornado of energy that exploded and somehow returned all the stolen goods that Grumpig had taken.

"It sounds like she has a lot of power she can't control." Alain said.

"Yeah that's basically it. I know she was powerful I can sense it and she's gotten much better since we've been training since." Tai assured.

"She'll probably have full control once she evolves. That's usually how it goes." Alain replied.

"Rrrewww," Zelda replied thoughtfully.

"How will I know when she's gonna evolve?" Tai asked.

"It's hard to say. Espurr evolve with experience there are Pokemon that have signs when they're ready to evolve. But Everyone Pokemon even of the same species is different." Alain replied.

"Sucks to be poor Tai then, he got second choice with all of his Pokemon." Said a sneering voice, Tai instantly they turned to see Jaque standing in the door way.

"I remember you!" Hugh stated.

"Jaque Cookiberry!?" Mairin asked.

"It's Coquebera!" He snapped. "Why does everyone think that?"

"It's a Kalosian name where the pronunciation escapes you." Alain explained.

"And yet I can do it just fine." Jaque huffed.

"What do you want Jaque?" Tai asked.

"I just wanted to tell you that there's a science arts fair today in town. I'll be there with my Father the President of Kings Corp. We're last after Lysandre Labs. So that's about three to four hours. It'll give you time try and improve and just maybe you'll actually make a dent in my Pokemon." He said haughtily Tai growled Jaque merely smirk and turned away. "Ciao." He said leaving the group behind.

"Why does he have to be so mean?" Mairin growled.

"Chespin!" Chespie agreed.

"He's thinks that because his Pokemon were specially bred with Hidden Abilities and that he's rich he's better than everyone else!" Tai growled. "What I wouldn't give to show him up!" he stood up. "Let's go Rio and Zelda we've got work to do."

The two nodded and followed him. Hugh laid back. "He's lucky I didn't punch him out."

"Jaque?" Alain asked.

"Yeah, he was ticking me off," Hugh replied. "He has no right to talk like that."

"Agreed but it's not like we can tell him to stop. He's still like that after losing badly to Mewtwo." Alain replied thinking back to how easily the Psychic type defeated his Greninja. Hugh listened to the story and sighed.

"I'm still agitated I've gotta go." Hugh said getting up quickly and leaving. Alain sighed, Hugh obvious was keeping his temper in check but it was getting to be too much.

"Hey Alain?" Mairin asked bringing him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah what is it?" Alain asked.

"This Science Arts fair? Jaque mentioned Lysandre labs. Like the Lysandre you work for?" Mairin asked.

"Yeah, there's only one company like that. They've branched out to Hoenn and Unova, but the heads there still listen to the Director." Alain replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Well Tai was getting paranoid when you told him what you were doing. But maybe if he sees Lysandre's nice he might relax a little." Mairin replied.

"You want to take him to the Presentation?" Alain asked puzzled Mairin nodded. He hummed leaning back his Pokemon watching him as the gears turned in his head. "Hmmm I guess I don't see the harm but we'll have to convince him to cut his training early."

YX YX YX

Tai was already busy training he had Spike, Blitz, Muddy, Rio and Blaze fight each other for training while he focused on Zelda. "Remember Metwo said you have to focus don't let up!" Tai told her as she was lifting up several objects and moving them around. "Okay do a figure eight!" Tai called. She nodded and began moving the objects around in a eight shape. Tai smiled it was looking good until…

"TAAAIII!" Mairin called distracting Zelda making all the objects fall on his head. He groaned rubbing it. "Ack! I'm sorry!"

"It's fine." Tai replied as he picked up what was his. "None of the rocks hit me so that's good. So what's up?" Tai asked.

"We wanted you to come with us to the Science and Arts Fair." Alain replied.

"Why?" Tai asked.

"Mairin was thinking you should get to know the Director." Alain replied.

"Are you sure this wasn't your idea?" Tai asked suspiciously.

"No!" Alain snapped.

Tai sighed. "I've got work to do. Besides if I go I'll just be bored. It's one thing when it's like a little summary of something but when it's an hour lecture…." Tai sighed.

"Each speaker has a time limit of fifteen minutes five for how the device works; And ten for a demonstration. Assuming they do it that way. They do try to entertain as well." Alain argued.

"Hmmmm," Tai hummed still unsure.

"Please Tai!" Mairin begged. Tai sighed giving in.

"Fine…" he sighed.

"Horraay!" she cheered Chespie cheering beside her.

As they headed off they heard a small explosion. They went to see what is was. It was Hugh ordering Serperior to use Dragon pulse on some Targets. It looks like he was blowing off some steam. "Why are you upset?" Tai asked calling to him. "I'm the one Jaque was making fun of."

"You're my friend and I can't stand that." Hugh replied bluntly.

"Yeah don't know why I asked. Thanks." Tai replied smiling Hugh calmed down.

"I thought you were training." Hugh noted.

"We're going to the show." Tai replied simply making Hugh blink as Rio and Zelda stood beside him.

YX YX YX

It hadn't been as boring as Tai expected but he couldn't help but glance up at the Clock. It was almost time, for Lysandre. Before this Alain had made some calls. He told everyone that Lunch was taken care off and that was that. Tai realized what this meant and groaned. He saw the time 10:58 Another hour and the program would break for Lunch. But the upcoming Speakers were Christopher and Lysandre.

The stage went dark. The Program listed Christopher first. The Spot light appeared as Jaque appeared with his Pokemon standing beside them. They had all reached their final forms. Greninja, Alakazam, Aggron, Blaziken and Serperior; "Presenting President Coqubera!" He said as the Pokemon jumped up. Alakazam used Psychic to capture the Water Shiruken and expand it and other attacks twirled around and circled above as Christopher came forward. He had the same dark blonde hair as his son. His however was combed back to look proper. He had a Black suit on with a blue tie.

"Welcome, everyone. Today is the beginning of a new era. That is my motto." He replied as Jaque and his Pokemon bowed leaving the stage. "And we at King's Corp seek to change the world. The Kalos of today will fade away for the Future and allow for Progess! One of the Projects I'd like to share with you is Project Elixir. He stated pointing to the screen.

Coming on screen was a tree that sprouted Gold Flowers with Ruby Colored liquid. "Project Elixir will be King Corp's first step into the medical field. We've dealt with Technology, travel and weapons in the past but I seek to give the company a new more positive image. With this serum and other Serums made we can cure many diseases maybe even give humans more time. Maybe even all the time in the world! And I'm sorry to say that's all for now." He said making the crowd murmur. "One month from now I will hold a special party open to the press and other special guests. There I will reveal more details of this project." He said as lights and applause broke out. He smiled taking in the praise then leaving dramatically waving good bye.

After that the crowd went dark, as did the stage. "And now our Final Presentation for the day is Lysandre President of Lysandre Labs."

Tai was watching with Anticipation. Alain as well albeit more patiently, Mairin was grinning with excitement as a spotlight appeared with a powerful looking lion Pokemon with a firey mane in the shape of a fire ball. He unleashed a powerful flamethrower attack after flipping in the air. Bursting through it was Lysandre who seemed to command the fire to wave and vanquish. As he did massive applause broke out. Zelda was watching in awe at the flamethrower and how well the fire was controlled.

"Greetings everyone; are you prepared to take your next steps into the future?" Lysandre asked the crowd cheered. He raised his arm up and snapped his fingers Pyroar jumped back and unleashed a powerful flamethrower at Lysandre to their shock however Lysandre suddenly disappeared as the fire hit. After a few seconds Lysandre returned from the left of the stage as the crowd cheered Zelda jumping up and down excitedly right out of Tai's arms and she suddenly started running towards the stage.

"Zelda no!" Tai yelped rushing forward hissing as Rio followed behind him.

"Thank you all for coming I am Lysandre head of Lysandre labs." He said; as he petted Pyroar. "Todays presentation will be-"

"Zelda!" Tai called as the Espurr suddenly appeared on stage she used a Signal beam into the air then tried to control it with Psychic it flew crazily and rushed at Lysandre.

"Oh no!" Alain cried out as Mairin covered her eyes. Lysandre merely snapped his fingers and Pyroar charged electricity around him then jumped at the rogue attack clashing with it as some fireworks came from the collision as the audience applauded. Tai finally caught up as she was jumping and grabbed her.

"Zelda why would you- Ugh I am so sorry!" Tai hissed to Lysandre.

"Don't apologize in fact my assistant you're just in time." Lysandre replied.

"I am?" Tai asked blinking. Suddenly Holograms of him Rio and Zelda appeared he yelped almost dropping Zelda she jumped out and Hologram Zelda followed.

"The images you saw of me and these three volunteers are holographic images. We were able to do small Holograms on my last invention the Holocaster. However Lysandre labs, is currently working on expanding the technology. You can communicate with people as if they're really there. Customize digital assistant avatars. This is a camera that is recording images and playing them back exactly as they happened. With this precious memories can be perfectly preserved and even relived. The Police can even use this technology to increase their efficiency of capturing Criminals.

Tai reached forward and touched the Hologram his hand didn't go through like he imagined instead he felt a tingling their hands were touching as Hologram Tai was mimicking his movement. "As we've just demonstrated we're creating Holograms that will begin to break the boundaries of the Digital and real planes." Lysandre stated. "Another announcement we have donated cutting edge medical equipment and a grant for research on Pokémon Health Maintenance to several Pokemon Centers the company has supported." And with that a massive applause broke out.

"Wow…" Tai muttered in shock Rio and Zelda staring up in shock.

"It's no big deal. The health of Pokemon is important to both the happiness of them and their trainers." He said patting Rio he cooed at the gentle rub. Tai couldn't help but smile.

They met up with Lysandre at a Steak House restaurant in town. "Feel free to help yourselves." Lysandre assured.

"Oh thank director, but I hate to impose." Alain replied as they looked over the menu. They were on a private deck with the Pokémon eating not too far from them.

"So Lysandre, I heard you were a Phliantropist for Countries in need why'd you stop?" Tai asked Alain turned slowly glaring at Tai eye twitching. They then became two beady red eyes with the upper half of his face shadowed, Tai suddenly sweat-dropped as he picked up on a murderous aura. Lysandre laughed,

"Relax Alain. It's an interesting question you pose. Hmm I think the best answer I can give is that while the company was able to provide relief. It only helped so much giving food and water wouldn't repair the towns. Or bring back the lives that were lost or even help with polluted water. So I thought if I helped Mankind find a way to prevent tragedy that would be more helpful in the long run." Lysandre replied.

"Hmm makes sense I guess." Tai replied.

"I heard about your exploits in the Orre region you and Ash that's why I gave you and him a Holocaster. The Holocaster is meant to help trainers. It connects trainers together with the PSS system."

"PSS system?" Tai asked looking at his Holocaster.

"Do you see the signal that looks like a Wifi symbol?" Alain asked.

"Oh right here!" Tai stated as he pressed it. Instantly he found a row of trainers with Holocasters he had never meant under suggested friends were Ash, Alain and Hugh who he quickly registered.

"The item was done tremendously well, we had to increase production." Lysandre pointed out.

"That's amazing Director." Alain congratulated.

"Hey Lysandre," Tai said making Alain nervous, "What can you tell me about Zygarde, Yveltal and Xernas? Seems like you know a lot."

"Only what is known and what I told you the other day. However I did come across some poems about the three. Zygarde is the one that interests me the most. It's is called The Passage of Order: Through the ground and land the guardian burrowed to survey the land. But as it traveled food became scarce, people suffered and bled. It could not obtain and protect order when it was destroying it with a simple motion. It pondered it's options and thought: Many hands make light work so many eyes must see all. The Guardian took a form unseen by the people of Kalos and then in a burst of emerald light scattered like shooting stars across the sky."

"Wow, so where'd it go?" Tai asked.

"No one's sure, however the legitimacy of this Poem seems very likely Kalos has many mountain ranges and tunnels. None of which were carved out naturally, and humans lacked the technology at the time. So most likely it was a large Pokemon." Lysandre replied.

"Like Zygarde would be," Hugh deduced.

"Exactly, Alain I remember you telling me that Charizard once ran off into the Sewers of Lumiose city?" Lysandre asked.

"That is correct." Alain replied.

"Well, interesting trivia. The Sewers were modified from a network of caves that were under were Lumiose now stands. The cannals are rumored to be part of original Network and thus reworked as well." Lysandre explained.

"That's amazing it shows that Humans and Pokemon can benefit from each other. And you can make the best with change!" Tai said excitedly.

Lysandre slowed and took a sip of his wine. "Change isn't always good. Sometimes it can turn something beautiful ugly."

"I suppose that's true." Tai said thinking about it.

"I do agree with Lysandre a little bit. Why should things change when they don't have too?" Hugh asked.

"Sometimes they don't have a choice. You've gotta look at things from both sides too." Tai replied.

"Fair enough, sounds like a compromise though." Hugh replied with a slight click of the tongue.

"What are the other two passages?" Mairin asked.

"This is The Passage of Life: The mist of a tranquil morning, lay the body of a dead father. His family came upon him and wept for him; However as they did a glittering of jewels floated before them but it was actually a Pokemon tall like a stag. It glanced at the man and bowed with the Family it's jeweled Antlers glowing brightly. The Father opened his eyes and embraced his family with tears. The Hero nodded and left leaving vibrant grass with every passing Footstep."

"Xerneas sounds amazing Mairin said in awe Chespie gasping beside her.

"Xerneas was and is revered throughout Kalos as a protector and symbol of beauty. There are many works of art depicting her. Same with Zygarde, but you won't find any art of Yveltal that's not depicting destruction. The Passage of Death states: Run fear when crimson light hits the sky. The screech of a demon echos across the land with a flap of the Destructive wings the demon flies on all turns to desolate stone. Life is absorbed and stolen from one who did not earn it! The Demon however fell to the Guardian and his wicked spells undone by the Hero. Deep in the Earth he slumbers hopefully for all time."

"Wait Yveltal's considered a demon?!" Tai gasped.

"Yes, It has frightening powers over death itself. Zygarde is the only one that was brave enough to put it down when it rampaged in Kalos years ago. And Won that fight after that it was sealed away; Yveltal hates humans but it is the Power source of the Ultimate Weapon. There's no indication as to why it would team up with the King from all those years ago." Alain noted.

"It merely saw an opportunity that's all there is too it." Lysandre replied. "Humans as a whole I think we've been despicable over the years. Driven by our own desires especially greed and arrogance. That's exactly what led to the events in the Orre region."

"But it was also people who helped stopped team Cipher!" Tai argued feeling a twinge of insult.

"I understand that. I apologize if I caused any insult. It's just an opinion that humans have done more harm than good. The way we're going the world won't remain beautiful." Lysandre replied. "I hope to change that with a project Alain has been helping me with."

Tai nods but had to think of something else to talk about. Lysandre for the most part seemed nice but somehow made him uncomfortable. Sadly for Alain his opinion wouldn't change from this. "Hey sorry about my Espurr." He blurted out.

"It's alright, I was able to make it part of the act so no harm." Lysandre replied.

"Is there a way to tell when Espurr is ready to evolve?" Mairin asked.

"Well…I can tell she's had a lot of serious training." Lysandre replied.

"Her Psychic attack is very powerful. But she doesn't control it very well." Tai replied.

"Hmm I see the experience from that will allow her to evolve quickly." Lysandre replied with a smile petting her. She purred.

"Thanks," Tai replied pulling her away a little. "Crap I still have to battle Jaque!"

"Took you long enough," Jaque replied nearby he seemed to have been passing by them. "Are you ready to lose again?"

"You're the one who's gonna lose!" Tai growled jumping up as Rio and Zelda growled at him.

"Well this is interesting," Christopher said coming over. "Jaque is this young man a rival of yours."

"In his own mind but it won't take you long to figure out who's superior." Jaque replied making Tai growl as Lysandre hiding his disgust for the two sipped his tea.

"So where do we fight?!" Tai growled.

"In here." Christopher said happily.

"Excuse me?" Tai said turning to him very confused.

"Restaurants like this in the Kalos Region have you battle after you eat. One battle for each course, and since both you and my son ate a single course that means you'll have one battle." Christopher explained.

"Makes sense," Hugh replied getting it.

"Wait do, we all have to do it?" Mairin asked.

"Only if you issue a challenge; but only these two seem to have. So the rest of you can go in peace." Lysandre explained.

"Which means no one's standing between us, Ketchum." Jaque replied with a smirk. People started talking around them. And suddenly the floor moved in it's place was a battle field Tai and Jaque silently went to each side.

"Alright, Alakazam and Greninja go!" he shouted throwing out two Pokeballs. They popped open revealing the two Pokemon.

"Rio, Zelda you're on!" Tai stated. Rio barked and rushed forward Zelda following. The four Pokemon stood facing each other glaring.

"Are you sure you want to do this Tai?" He mockingly asked.

"Positive! Someone's gotta knock you off your high Ponyta!" Tai declared as Lysandre, Alain, Hugh and Mairin watched from the side.

"Just make sure you don't take a hoof to the head." Jaque bantered.

"Battle, begin," Called the waiter over-seeing the fight.

"Rio use quick attack to get in close to Greninja and Zelda cover him with Light screen and Psychic make armor for him!" Tai called.

Rio waited as Zelda summoned the wall of light then welded around Rio so he was covered in an aura when she was done he charged forward. He rushed into Greninja who jumped away and let Alakazam take the blow. He grunted but stood his ground.

"Use Psychic to knock that mutt back!" Jaque shouted.

Alakazam's eyes lit up and Rio found himself flying back to Tai's feet hitting the ground with a bit of a skid.

"I see you were counting on Alakazam to use Psychic in retaliation. So you prepared a cushion, clever, but not clever enough! Greninja use Night Slash on Espurr!" Jaque stated vigorously.

Greninja rushed forward summoning a purple Kunai of light. He slashed Zelda so fast before she could react in a way that sent her flying. "Counter with Signal Beam!" Tai shouted.

"Esss rooowowww!" she called righting herself in the air and blasting out the multi-Colored beam that hit Greninja and Alazakam knocking them back. Greninja was hit directly in the gut he stumbled back a little but stopped to glare up at Zelda as she was caught by Rio who helped her down.

"Good Job!" Tai called Rio gave him a thumbs up.

"Tai's Pokemon are well in sync I'm impressed." Lysandre noted. "He has potential."

"Yeah, he told me he's been working on Zelda's Psychic and her abilities since he caught her." Alain agreed.

"Alakazam use Thunder wave!" Jaque shouted.

"Aaalllaaaa!" he called unleashing a burst of crackling electricity.

"Watch out!" Tai called. Rio gasped but something quickly crossed his mind. He barked at Tai who instantly understood and nodded. "Use Aura Sphere Counter Shield!"

Rio charged in charging up the attack right at the Thunder Wave. When it was close enough he put out the aura sphere and made the Thunder Wave fuse with it.

"Alright!" Tai shouted excitedly.

Jaque instantly caught on to what Tai was planning. "Not so fast! Greninja use Night Slash!"

Greninja rushed forward with blinding speed slashing the aura sphere Rio managed to jump away in time of the explosion leaving Greninja paralyzed. He groaned electricity crackling around him slowing his movements severely.

"Not how I planned but I'll take it!" Tai said grinning. "This is our chance! Zelda Energy ball and Rio aura Sphere attack Greninja!" he called loudly. The two jumped up charging the attack. They were right over Greninja's head. The two attacks were launched.

"I'd wipe that smirk off your face if I were you!" Jaque growled.

"If you're as good as you say you should be able to battle your way out of this!" Tai snarked.

"Fair enough, Alakazam defense Alpha!" He shouted. Alakazam suddenly used Psychic to pull the Electricity off of Greninja. With his recovery Greninja blocked the attacks with Night Slash and sent them back at Rio. He was blasted with both and sent crashing into the ground as Zelda landed rushing to his side as he struggled to get up badly damaged and Paralyzed.

"Oh no!" Mairin cried covering her eyes.

"This isn't good. Jaque knows that Rio is a threat now. So he's trying to take him out as fast as possible!" Hugh said through gritted Teeth.

"Blast them both Extra Sensory and Psychic!" Jaque said capitalizing on this moment. The two pairs of eyes lit up unleashing a massive burst of energy that blasted both of Tai's Pokemon knocking them back towards Tai in a burst of dust. Zelda managed to get back up. Rio however was spread eagle out cold with swirls in his eyes.

"Rio is unable to battle!" The Judge called. Tai growled recalling Rio to his Pokeball.

"Tai's in a hopeless position. It's now two against one. And Psychic is useless against Greninja." Lysandre noted bleakly.

"He still has Energy ball and Signal beam!" Hugh argued.

"True but what good will type advantages do him when he's out powered?" Lysandre asked simply. Hugh growled watching Tai worriedly.

"Alakazam Dazzling Gleam!" Jaque commanded.

"KAAAAZAAAMMM!" he shouted unleashing a burst of light that rushed at Zelda.

"Send it back with Psychic!" Tai called.

"Rrwooowww!" she called concentrating with all her might to everyone's surprise she caught dazzling Gleam and rushed it back at Alakazam who was surprised to be hit with his own attack it stunned him long enough for Tai to fight back.

"Finish it with Signal beam!" Tai called.

"REEEEEOOWWSSSPURRR!" She called unleashing the multi-colored ray blasting Alakazam into the wall and knocking him out. Tai sighed in relief.

"Alakazam is unable to battle!" The Judge called.

"He made it. He just has to take out Greninja and it'll be fine!" Alain said.

"We'll see…" Lysandre muttered.

"Signal Beam on Greninja!" Tai called.

"Rrrrooww!" she called unleashing the beam again hitting Greninja square chested.

"Counter with Night Slash!" Jaque shouted.

Greninja pulled out the attack blocked the rest then rushed forward and used it to slam Zelda into the ground she bounced slightly before landing. "Keep it down with Blizzard!" Jaque shouted.

Greninja did a hand sign and blasted out a burst of icy wind pinning Zelda down as she growled however as she did she remembered some of the things that Jaque, Hugh and Tai said. Hugh's angry to how Jaque treated her trainer, what Tai said about him Jaque constantly putting them down. she glared and forced herself up.

Tai who now had his Goggles over his eyes from the blizzard, saw this and it inspired him to keep going. "Psychic now block that attack!" he called.

Zelda light up brightly her eyes practically shining as she let out a cry that completely froze the blizzard in place around them. Everyone stared in awe as the snow floated simply around them. It suddenly surged out the window in an explosion. Greninja and Jaque were absolutely dumbstruck.

"Essprrooowww!" she called and suddenly lit up brightly. Everyone gasped as she did so and began to change shape.

"Zelda's evolving!" Tai gasped in awe. Her tail got longer splitting into two. Her ears got longer and slightly crescent shaped as well she got slightly taller and her fur more neat. The light dispurssed to reveal a white cat like Pokemon with blue fur as a hat and scarf with blue legs like stockings and white tipped tails with blue bottoms. Her eyes had become yellow with red irises the fur around her legs made it look like she was wearing a dress.

"Meowwwssitic!" she called.

"Alright!" Tai said with a chuckle as he checked Meowstic in the Pokedex.

"Mewostic, the constraint Pokemon; and the evolved form of Espurr: Under it's ears are eyeball patterns that emit intense Pyschic energy. Meowstic keeps it's ears covered as it is so immense that it has enough power to grind a 10-ton truck to dust."

"Evolution and a new move to boot use Shadow Ball!" Tai commanded.

"Mewoooostic!" she shouted unleashing the powerful Ghost type move Greninja was hit and he glowed blue for a minute. She grinned happily as did everyone else including Tai.

"Alright! He lowered Greninja's special defense!" Alain cheered.

"Use Signal Beam!" Tai shouted.

"Mewostic!" she shouted unleashing the attack.

"Dodge it now!" Jaque shouted.

"Greninja!" he shouted jumping away she kept trying to hit him but to no avail.

"Use Psychic to make a signal beam tornado!" Tai called.

"MEewwwwwosssss!" she stated unleashing Signal Beam but then using Psychic to create a giant tornado with it expanding it she was about to charge it forward.

"Night Slash!" Jaque shouted reacting quickly. Greninja charged cutting through the attack, much to her shock and then she was slashed several times with the attack before the final one slammed her into the ground. She laid there unmoving Tai rushed up to her as the judge called Jaque the winner.

"Heh, how's that hoof feeling?" Jaque chuckled as Tai picked up Zelda he said nothing. Hugh was about to rush Jaque however Alain held him back and shook his head. Jaque and Christopher left without a word. People congratulated both of them while Tai sighed he looked down at Zelda who looked sadly at him.

"Don't be sad, you evolved and you've got perfect control of your Psychic." Tai assured. She smiled as Tai headed to the Pokemon Center, as he waited for the other two to heal. He saw Lysandre standing beside him. "Don't take it so hard. You have potential and struggling will only make you stronger. Your Meowstic evolved from Espurr because of the harshness of that battle."

"That's true…" Tai muttered thoughtfully.

"You know I believe Mega Evolution is a way for Pokemon to regain the power they lost from being domesticated from humans." Lysandre replied.

"I've seen trainers bring out a lot of power from Pokemon they were close too. Isn't that the point of Mega Evolution?" Tai asked.

"That's what we've seen, perhaps it's correlation not necessarily causation. The trainers in question were incredibly skilled. Or eventually gained control from special training." Lysandre replied. Tai wasn't so sure however. Korrina was told that she wasn't close enough to Lucario and lost control right away. However maybe there was some truth to what Lysandre was saying. Maybe humans did cause a loss of power or maybe something else. Regardless Lysandre was trying to cheer him up he sort of succeeded.

The bell rung and instantly Rio and Zelda rushed out to him hugging him. Alain and the others watched happily. "Ya know Jaque may have Pokemon but yours love you enough to fight harder for you." Hugh pointed out. Tai looked at him and then at his two Pokemon and smiled as Lysandre left. As he did he glanced back at three.

"It's a shame I hate to see Tai separated from his Pokemon. But they lack the potential to move on with the world I envision. If nothing else….Tai is a chosen human."
