Chap 55: Evolution Confusion

Daniel and Iris face off against Team Mutant, Irina and Kelsey explains Mega Evolution to the others. Zoey gets jealous and Mal realizes that he needs another component for his Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

-A-

Cue Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies theme song

It was heading for nightfall and near the edge of Nimbasa City, Daniel and Iris were surrounded by Team Mutant's Pokémon. They were going to try to fend them off with their own Pokémon.

"Any last words?" Mal asked.

"Just this, Now Darmanitan!" Darmanitan became cloaked in blue flames and charged towards Scott's Ferrothorn and rammed into it sending it into the water.

"Oh crap." Scott ran to the water to get his Pokémon.

"Figures. Now to destroy you both, Hoothoot use Air Slash!" Hoothoot flew up into the air and her arms glowed light blue and she flung blue glowing buzzsaws towards Dragonair and Darmanitan.

"Dragonair, use Dragon Rage!" Iris commanded and Dragonair fired blue flames in the shape of a dragon from her mouth and it completely burned up the Air Slashes.

"You and Scott are pathetic! Just go and make sure that there are no more spies around." Said Mal

"Fine." Eva said reluctantly. "Hoothoot, return." And she was brought back into the Pokéball. And she ran to look for Scott.

"I have a Mega Ring to collect, so let's make this quick."

"At least now it seems more fair. Darmanitan use Fire Punch!" Darmanitan the threw a punch at Electabuzz and he slid back after the impact.

"Electabuzz use Thunder Punch!" Electabuzz fist became powered up in electricity and he then was attempting to punch Darmanitan.

"Darmanitan, Fire Punch again!" Darmanitan's fist became covered in flames and both their fists collided and this made a small shockwave that resonated around the area.

"Magmar use Confuse Ray!" Mel commanded, Magmar fired six orbs of golden energy and they clasped onto Darmanitan's body and he then became confused as they faded away.

"Thanks for the assist, Mel. Now Electabuzz. Use Discharge!" Electabuzz became covered in yellow electricity and fired bolts of lightning at Darmanitan and Dragonair.

"Darmanitan, snap out of it!"

"Dragonair use Aqua Tail!" Dragonair jumped into the air and her tail surrounded in a small whirlpool and she flipped and the tail was about to land on Weavile.

"Weavile dodge it!" Weavile jumped back and avoided it. "Now use Ice Punch!" Weavile's claw became light blue, and punched Dragonair in the face.

"Dragonair!" Iris cried. "Quick use Flamethrower!" Dragonair blasted flames from his mouth to hit Weavile.

"Damn, Weavile dodge it!" and she jumped over it. "Looks like you've got smarter over the years. I guess you didn't need Opelucid Academy after all."

"What, how did you know I…"

"I know many things, I have my ways about finding things out about people. Weavile use Night Slash!" Her claws glowed crimson and ran to Dragonair and raked her claws across her face.

'How could Mal, possibly know about my past…?' Iris thought

"Focus Iris!" Daniel cried. "Mike, or Mal is trying to get into your head!"

"Too late, Weavile one more Ice Punch!" the sharp claw Pokémon punched Dragonair in the gut and she then flew to a wall with swirls in her eyes.

"Magmar, use Flamethrower!"

"Electabuzz, use Thunderbolt!"

They both blasted their attacks at Darmanitan and he was sent flying to the same wall and he had swirls in his eyes.

"Well this just got worse. Iris, get out of here! I'll cover you."

She nodded and she jumped over Mal and attempted to escape.

"You may escape from me, but you can't escape…" Mal then gasped and he turned into a mischievous looking Svetlana. "…Svetlana!" he then jumped on the roofs of houses and then he suddenly landed in front of Iris. "Vhere do you zhink you're going?" Weavile caught up with both of them.

"I'm not afraid of you, Mal." Iris cried as she got in a fighting stance.

Suddenly a figure that walked on four legs and had wings on its back rammed into Weavile and she flipped through the air and hit the wall of one of the houses.

Mal then gasped again. "Well this has become tedious." Mel and Michaela made it to his side. "We're leaving, Mel get us out of here!"

She nodded. "Magmar, Smokescreen!" Magmar blew smoke from his mouth and then just like that, they were gone.

Daniel ran over to Iris who was looking for something. "Iris, are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine, thanks. Do you know a Pokémon that is white and has wings on its back?"

"No really, So what now?"

"I'll tell you. We get the hell out of here before they come for us again." He said. "Whatever you were planning to do to help us get to Driftveil City, now's the time to use it."

Iris took out a Pokéball. "Come on out, Lapras!" and the Transport Pokémon floated on top of the water, after Iris threw it out of the Pokéball.

"So… you're afraid of Ice types and yet you have a Lapras?" Daniel asked, irking Iris in the process.

"I'M TRYING TO GET OVER IT!" she yelled.

"Whatever, we should be going before they get back." Iris jumped and sat on Lapras, and held her hand out to help Daniel on. He got onto the back. "Okay, Lapras. Let's go." Lapras began moving across the water and they were both heading to Driftveil City.

Meanwhile a figure on the roof had a white Pokémon with wings at her side. She appeared to have a camera around her neck. She looked at it and it was an image of Mal.

"I must Irina." She said to herself.

-A-

Meanwhile, Gill was walking with Kelsey to the Pokémon centre.

"So, where are you from? I haven't seen you around before." Gill asked

"Well I'm actually from the Kalos region."

"The, Kalos region?"

"Yeah, it's far off I know, but I came to Unova for a reason."

"What was that reason…?" Gill then gasped. "Are you some sort of secret agent?!" he asked while pointing a finger at her, Tepig who was on his shoulder sweatdropped.

Kelsey giggled at this. She found Gill's personality to be quite interesting and…cute at times. "No I'm not, nice joke by the way?"

"I wasn't joking…" he said

"What…"

Tepig began snickering. "Okay, that's it." He took his Pokéball and tapped it on Tepig's head so that he would go back into his Pokéball.

They both entered the building and they saw Irina was eating with her Dedenne and a Pokémon that was white in colour and had pink and blue accents. She had a bowtie on her neck and bottom of her left ear, she had ribbons that had pink and blue ends.

"IRINA!"

"KELSEY!"

The girls squealed and hugged each other.

"Hey new Pokémon!" said Gill and on instinct he pulled out his Pokédex to scan the Pokémon standing next to Dedenne.

? – No Data…

"Ah man, my Pokédex is busted!" said Gill as he shook it around.

Kelsey and Irina giggled.

Kelsey walked to him. "No, Gill you silly, your Pokédex isn't busted. It's just that your Pokédex won't recognize Pokémon from the Kalos region."

"Hey Kels, is Gill your boyfriend?" Irina asked embarrassing her friend in the process.

Kelsey who was blushing was about to object to Irina's question but she was interrupted when a voice unfamiliar to them spoke up.

"She is not the only one, who is infatuated with a person." They looked and saw Dawn meditating with her Riolu.

Irina cheeks glowed crimson as well. "But how did…"

"Oh, Irina, Kelsey. This is Dawn. She's psychic." Gill whispered out the last part.

"I can still hear you, and what his is saying is partly true. Accept I read auras."

Then Cameron, Zoey and Sierra entered the Pokémon centre.

"Dedenne!" Sierra cried and ran to the gerbil like Pokémon and squeezed her again.

"Hey Irina, have you seen Mike anywhere?" Zoey asked

"No, not since he needed to take his nap. I wonder why he suddenly just decided to turn in. By the way I have something for you and Cam." She took out two Pokéballs and handed each one to them.

"What's in them?" Cameron asked.

"Why don't you open them and find out." She said.

Both Zoey and Cameron threw out their Pokéballs and two Pokémon came out of them.

"A Houndoom and Medicham."

Gill scanned Medicham with his Pokédex as he hasn't seen it before.

Medicham the Meditate Pokémon - It gains the ability to see the aura of its opponents by honing its mind through starvation.

"Hold on, you're just giving them to us?" Zoey asked

"Sure, since you're part of the Elite Four, and with what I heard about Teams Mutant and Plasma, you'll need all the help you can get in case they decide to challenge the Pokémon league to beat the Champion and rule Unova. Oh and I have something else for you, Zoey." Irina handed Zoey a Pokémon egg inside a protected case.

"What's inside the egg?" she asked

"You'll have to wait and see." She said. "Oh and both of you will need these." She handed them bracelets with jewels in them. "They're called Mega Rings. They allow the Pokémon that I just gave you to Mega Evolve when you've developed a good bond with your Pokémon." She saw Dawn with her Riolu. "I see you have a Riolu, you could use a Mega Stone as well, y'know as soon as he evolves." She handed Dawn a Mega Ring as well. "And, you'll need this." She handed Dawn a shiny pearl shaped object.

"My guess is that it will allow, Lucario to Mega Evolve?"

"Yep!"

Meanwhile one of Kelsey's Pokéballs opened by itself and a big white Pokémon with green hands and feet with a green tail and had pink scaleras with dots for eyes.

"Woah! Is that your Pokémon?!" Gill asked in awe.

"Yeah, he does tend to come out of his Pokéball at times." Kelsey explained. "He's Abomasnow."

Gill took out his Pokédex and scanned Abomasnow.

Abomasnow the Frost Tree Pokémon - They appear when the snow flowers bloom. When the petals fall, they retreat to places unknown again.

Abomasnow walked over to Gill and looked down on him and Gill looked intimidated.

"Uh… hi" Gill said nervously and then the Abomasnow then hugged him tightly. "Oh crap! Can you tell him to let go, my lungs are being crushed."

"Abomasnow." Then he dropped Gill and he took a deep breath. "Oh man, I think his hugs are worse that Lindsay's."

"I wonder, why does Abomasnow likes you so much?" Kelsey wondered.

"Well my mom once told me she saved a Snover from an Avalanche in a far off region. She then released it back into the wild but she said it grew attached to her. I guess since I resemble her."

"I wonder…" Kelsey muttered.

"What?"

"Tell you what. Since Abomasnow really likes you, how about I give him to you."

"Really!? No kidding!"

"Sure." She smiled. "You'll also need this."

"One of those Mega Ring thingys?" he asked. "Wait, I didn't know Tepig could Mega Evolve."

"Not for Tepig, silly. For Abomasnow."

"Oh thanks."

"Hey I just thought of something, I want to see how good your bond is with your Pokémon."

"What are you proposing?"

"Just meet me at the amusement park okay. And here is Abomasnow's Pokéball." Then she left the Pokémon after she handed Gill the Pokéball.

Meanwhile Zoey was gazing at Irina's other Pokémon. "I see you like Sylveon." She said.

"Yeah, where did you get her?" she asked

"She evolved from Eevee believe it or not."

"Seriously!"

"Yeah, hey how about we get some sleep."

"Hey Irina, do you think Mike is okay?" she asked and she looked down to the ground.

Irina put her hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure Mike is alright."

"Yeah, I'm just worried about him is all."

"We'll figure this out, Zoey. Let's just get some rest okay."

Zoey nodded and they both left to their rooms but from outside the Pokémon centre , "Mike" was watching them and he saw them and he clenched his fist in anger.

"So… Zoey, Cameron, Dawn and that dense sponge, Gill now have Mega Rings. Which means I have to charm Irina into giving it to me." He chuckled to himself.

-A-

Gill was walking to the amusement park, he saw Kelsey lying on the ground looking at the night sky.

"Hey Kelsey."

"Gill, you actually came."

"Well, sure. I figured it was important."

"It's your luck day. Because I'm going to teach you about Mega Evolution. Think of it as a temporary evolution that makes your Pokémon stronger for the battle, but for your Pokémon to Mega Evolve, you'll need three things. A Mega ring, which I gave you. A Mega stone which your Pokémon has to hold. And finally, a strong bond with your Pokémon." Kelsey smirked and took out a Pokéball. "I'm going to test that bond."

"So, are we going to have a battle?"

"Will this answer your question, Chandelure come on out!" the Pokémon that looked like a chandelier with flames as lights.

Gill decided to scan it with his Pokédex.

Chandelure the Luring Pokémon and the final evolved for of Litwick - The spirits burned up in its ominous flame lose their way and wander this world forever.

'Well since Chandelure is a Fire-type…' "Buizel, do some damage!"

"A Buizel huh? Not good enough. Chandelure, use Inferno!" purple flames were blasted at Buizel.

"Buizel, counter with Water Gun!" Buizel blasted a stream of water from his mouth and it collided with Inferno but it was beaten by the fire type attack and it was speeding towards him. "Okay, quick use Aqua Jet!" Buizel became covered in water and flew to the side of the attack and charged into Chandelure. "Nice one, Buizel!"

"Chandelure use Shadow Ball!" Chandelure made a purple ball of darkness and flung it towards Buizel.

"Counter it with SonicBoom!" Buizel's tail glowed white and he flung a crecent shockwave from it the intercepted the Shadow Ball. "Alright now we are in business!"

"Chandelure use Flame Burst!" Chandelure made an oval shaped purple fireball and blasted it at Buizel.

"Dodge it Buizel!" Gill commanded and the Sea Weasel Pokémon easily jumped over the fireball.

"Now, let's see if you can dodge this. Chandelure use Shadow Ball, and use five this time!" Chandelur did as was instructed and fired five Shadow Balls at Buizel.

"Five, no problem. Buizel use Aqua Jet!" Buizel became cloaked in water and his tails began rotating like a propeller. Buizel managed to dodge all five of them and ram right into Chandelure. How about we end this?" Gill asked Buizel and she nodded. "That's what I wanted to hear. Buizel use Whirlpool." Buizel made a cyclone of water from his mouth and he threw it at Chandelure.

"Quickly, use Inferno!" Chandelure blasted purple flames from his top flame. They blasted right through the Whirlpool and it was speeding towards Buizel.

"Dodge it quick!" Buizel hit the ground and ducked under the flames. "Buizel, use Water Gun!" Buizel blasted a stream of water at Chandelure. "We have him now, use Aqua Jet!" she made a stream of water surround herself and then flew towards the Luring Pokémon with covered in water.

"Chandelure, use Inferno!" Chandelure blasted purple flames towards Buizel

'Let's try this.' Gill thought to himself. "Buizel, use Whirlpool and fly into the eye of the cyclone!" Buizel threw the Whirlpool into the air and he flew into it with Aqua Jet and it became more powerful. He rammed into Chandelure and he rolled on the ground, he now had swirls in his eyes.

"Alright, let's see how you handle being at a type disadvantage. Chandelure return. It's your turn, Roserade."

Roserade the Bouquet Pokémon - Luring prey with a sweet scent, it uses poison whips on its arms to poison, bind, and finish off the prey.

Gill put away his Pokédex and took out Buizel's Pokéball. "Buizel, return." She was dragged back to her Pokéball in a red light. Pansage, Do Some Damage!"

"Another Grass type, well I won't make this easy. Roserade use Magical Leaf!" Roserade flung glowing leaves at Pansage.

"Dodge it Pansage!" Pansage was avoiding the leaves by flipping over them. "Quick use Cut!" Pansage's arm glowed light blue and he slashed Roserade. "Keep it up! Use Rock Smash!" Pansage's arm glowed light orange.

"Roserade, dodge it." Roserade sidestepped the punch from Pansage. "Now use Poison Sting!" Roserade shot purple needles from her mouth and they hit Pansage.

"How, does Roserade know that move!?"

"Well, Roserade is part Poison type."

"What!? I didn't know that!?"

"Well live and learn. Roserade use Energy Ball!" Roserade blasted a light green ball at Pansage and it hit and he flew back.

"Pansage!" the grass Pokémon struggled to his feet, there was a purple haze above where his nose would be. He got back on his feet and got in a battling stance. "Quick, use Bullet Seed!" Pansage backflipped and then fired seeds from his mouth.

Roserade managed to dodge them and was near Pansage's side. "Roserade, Poison Sting, go!" Pansage was hit by poison needle and he fell to the ground. "Finish this with, Magical Leaf!" She flung glowing leaves at Pansage and he rolled backwards revealing spirals in his eyes. "Yay! I won!" she said while she jumped into the air.

"Not quite, Pansage, return." He was brought back to the Pokéball. "Aboma…"

"I would use Abomasnow for my last Pokémon."

"Why?"

"You'll see."

"Okay." he put back Abomasnow's Pokéball. "Alright, I'm counting on you, Tepig, do some damage!" and the fire pig Pokémon was released into the battle. "Tepig use Flamethrower!" he blasted flames from his nostrils and it was speeding towards Roserade.

"Roserade, dodge it!" she jumped over the flames. "Magical Leaf! Lets go!" she flung green glowing leaves at Tepig. But Tepig was avoiding them.

"Quick, use Flame Charge!" Tepig became cloaked in flames and charged towards Roserade and made contact with her torso. "Now use Tackle!" Tepig suddenly became covered in a golden aura and a white forcefield covered the front of Tepig's body and he charged towards Roserade.

"Roserade dodge!" but Roserade was hit by the attack.

"Now finish it Flamethrower!" Tepig blasted flames from his nostrils and it hit Roserade and she flew into a wall and had swirls in her eyes.

"Okay, you're doing well so far. I can see that your relationship with your Pokémon is remarkable."

"I wouldn't go that far."

"Roserade return. Tell me how far did you get in the tournament?"

Gill put his head down in shame. "I only made it as far as the final 16."

"That doesn't mean that you are a horrible trainer, Gill. In fact I think… you're amazing…I mean an amazing trainer." She stuttered as she corrected herself. "But I'm still not going to let you win. Go Noivern!" A large bat like Pokémon appeared he had large ears shaped like speakers a mane of white hair around his neck and back, a teal membrane between his ribcage and wings and maroon coloured claws.

"Oh man, that Pokémon is big!" Gill exclaimed.

"Don't bother scanning it, this Pokémon can only be found in the Kalos region."

"Tepig, return!" he brought Tepig back into his crimson and white sphere. "Buizel, do some damage!" the sea weasel Pokémon faced Noivern.

"Noivern, use Dragon Pulse!" Noivern blasted a turquoise ball of energy towards Buizel.

"Buizel use Aqua Jet and dodge it!" Buizel jumped up into the air with while covered in water and dodged the attack.

"Noivern use Wing Attack!" He jumped into the air, his wings glowed white and swooped down and hit Buizel and he bounced backwards. "Finish it with, Air Slash!" Noivern flung six light blue buzzsaws and then they all hit Buizel and he flew into the tree and he had scorch marks on his body, swirls replaced his eyes.

"Buizel…"

"Yeah! Now we're even."

"Were even. Tepig, do some damage!" Tepig, came out of the Pokéball in a bright cyan flash light. "Tepig use Take Down!" he then charged right into Noivern's gut with a golden aura surrounding him.

"Noivern, use Boomburst!" the inside of Noivern's ears glowed light blue and he then blasted powerful soundwaves from them, then Tepig got caught in the soundwave and screamed in pain and agony.

"Tepig, use Rollout!" Tepig ran towards Noivern and curled into a ball and rolled and hit Noivern's face.

"Noivern, use Dragon Pulse!" Noivern blasted a light green ball of energy at Tepig.

"Tepig dodge it, quickly." Tepig tried to sidestep the attack but he was still hit by the shockwave and rolled. He got up and blew embers out of his nose saying he wanted to continue. "We can still do this. Tepig use Flamethrower." Tepig blasted flames from his nostrils.

"Noivern use Dragon Pulse!" both attacks collided and there was a big dark cloud and out of it Tepig was using Rollout and but he was about to roll into a ball he saw five light blue buzzsaws heading for him and there was another explosion and Tepig flew back towards and bounced back towards Gill.

"Tepig!" he was slowly getting up and he stared down Noivern. "We are not going to lose. Tepig use Flame Charge!" Tepig stomped the ground and he charged towards Noivern while covered in flames.

"Noivern, use Wing Attack!" Noivern flew towards the speeding Tepig and he hit him and he sped towards Gill and then bounced three times and he slid towards Gill with swirls in his eyes.

"Damn! Tepig are you alright?" he asked as he lifted Tepig of the ground and into his arms. Tepig opened his eyes slowly and let Gill know that he was okay. "You rest up, okay." He then brought Tepig back into his Pokéball.

"One Pokémon left and I win."

"Not today, Kelsey I'm not going to lose." 'I hope that Abomasnow will actually listen to me. I need him right now.' "Abomasnow, do some damage!" the Frost Tree came out of the Pokéball and he stood in front of Gill. "Hey, Abomasnow, are you ready?" Abomasnow nodded and made a thumbs up with his three fingers. "Okay…Wait, I have no idea what your moves are!" Gill panicked and he pulled out his Pokédex. "Looks like he knows; Ice Shard, Razor Leaf, Ice Punch and Return?"

"Let's see if you can keep up! Noivern use Dragon Pulse!"

"Abomasnow use Ice Shard!" Abomasnow lifted his hands above his head and made a glowing ball of ice and he then threw it at Dragon Pulse and it countered it this made a cloud of black smoke and six buzzsaws sped out of them. "I knew you would do that! Abomasnow use Razor Leaf!" and Abomasnow's arms glowed green and then he flung them and green circular leaves flew from them and then it countered Air Slash!" he then saw Noivern in the air. "Quickly, use Ice Punch!" Noivern jumped into the air and then he bashed Noivern to the ground with his arms that were glowing light blue. Noivern slammed into the ground and he slowly got back up.

"Noivern use Wing Attack!" he flew towards Abomasnow but Abomasnow stood his ground. "Stop him, Abomasnow." He outstretched his hands and then stopped the wing from hitting his body but he still took damage. "Now, Ice Punch! One more time!" he them punched Noivern in the face with his Ice Punch and he fell to the ground and his eyes was replaced with swirls. "Noivern. It's okay, take a good rest." Noivern was returned to his Pokéball. 'Amazing, Gill and Abomasnow have gotten along well, he may not realize this but he is quite skilled at bonding with his Pokémon. His first battle and Abomasnow is listening to him like they've been battling for a long time.' She then smirked. 'I think he's ready.' "My last Pokémon, time for the real test to begin. Mawile come on out!" she then threw a Pokéball and a bipedal figure with a pale yellow body and black arms and had a huge jaw on hanging from her head. She had red eyes. She was facing away from Abomasnow

"Who's that Pokémon?" he asked and he pulled out his Pokédex.

Mawile the Deceiver Pokémon - Attached to its head is a huge set of jaws formed by horns. It can chew through iron beams.

"Mawile use Crunch!" Mawile then ran towards Abomasnow and then chomped on his arm hit the huge jaw on her head. "Now use Iron Head!" Mawile turned around and charged towards Abomasnow and became covered in a white light making her seem black and white and charged head first into Abomasnow and he flew staggered back taking the damage.

"This ends now! Abomasnow use Ice Shard!" Abomasnow made a glowing blue ball of ice above his head and flung it towards Mawile.

"Dodge it Mawile!" she jumped into the air.

"Quick, use Razor Leaf!" his arms glowed green and flung circular spinning leaves towards Mawile and they hit and she flew back.

"Use Fire Blast!" Mawile made her huge jaw face Abomasnow and fired a five pointed fireball at Abomasnow.

"Jump over it Abomasnow!" he jumped and barely avoided the attack. "Now use Ice Punch!" his arms glowed light blue and tried to slam his fist onto Mawile but she rolled from him.

"Crunch let's go!" Mawile ran towards Abomasnow and bit his tail with the huge jaw.

The stones in Kelsey's and Gill's Mega amulet and ring started glowing.

"What's going on?" Gill asked

"Looks like it's time." Said Kelsey and she pressed the stone and Mawile suddenly became covered in a light pink orb with energy surrounding it.

"What's going on?!" Gill asked and suddenly the orb broke open and revealed a different form of Mawile, she was now yellow and light purple and had two jaws that looked more menacing on her head. "Did your Mawile evolve?"

"Sort of… This is Mega Evolution. This is when s Pokémon evolves into more powerful form of themselves but only for the current battle, when it ends they revert back to their original form. Abomasnow can also Mega Evolve, but you'll need a good relationship with your Pokémon. Now don't be bummed if Abomasnow can't Mega Evolve yet, it can take weeks…before… you…" she saw a pink orb surrounding Abomasnow with energy surrounding it. It exploded and he looked different as well.

"You were saying." Abomasnow's fur became long and shaggy all over his body, large icicles grew on his back and they were surrounded by green and white fur.

"OH MY GOSH! You're first battle with Abomasnow and you got him to Mega Evolve." 'He really is amazing.'

"Abomasnow let's start with Ice Shard!" the icicles on his back glowed with and small shards of ice formed a glowing ball of ice in between them and he flung them at Mawile.

"Mawile counter with Fire Blast!" both her heads fired a fire ball that combined and made a five pointed fire balls that went right through Ice Shard and was speeding towards Abomasnow!

"Crap, Abomasnow, dodge it!" he decided to roll away from it and found it difficult. 'Looks like Abomasnow has become slower, but then if that is the case, he must be more bulkier. Right I must let her come to me.'

"Mawile use Crunch!" she ran towards Abomasnow and the Frost Tree Pokémon put her arms in front of her jaws and bit those and he flinched but didn't take much damage.

"Quick hit her with Ice Punch!" he punched Mawile and she rolled on the ground after the impact.

"Time to end this! Use Play Rough!" Mawile ran towards Abomasnow and began punching and kicking him continuously and Abomasnow was still staggering back due to the damage he was taking. Mawile jumped back to Kelsey.

'I need to end this, otherwise Abomasnow is toast… Wait a minute... there is still one more move I haven't tried.'

"Our last move, Abomasnow use Return!" Abomasnow's body suddenly became clearish and was surrounded by a blue outline. He began charging towards Mawile.

"Return won't do that much damage, Mawile use Play Rough!" Mawile ran towards Abomasnow who was still running towards her. They both made contact…

Mawile flew back to the wall near the Ferris wheel. She fell to the ground and reverted to her regular form with swirls as her eyes. "Wow, you actually beat me, and managed to Mega Evolve Abomasnow. You really are amazing."

"Well, I kinda just winged it." He said while scratching the back of his head sheepishly. He then saw her return Mawile. Abomasnow reverted back to his original form and nudged Gill on his back and winked. "What… NO I don't like her!?" he said while blushing.

"Huh? You say something, Gill?"

"Oh no! Nothing at all." Kelsey just shrugged her shoulders she walked up to him.

"How about sometime tomorrow, we ride the Ferris wheel… y'know just the two of us. So we can get to know each other better." She said looking down at the ground moving her feet around.

"Y-you mean like a date?" he asked

"Well, you could call it that."

"Sure, why not." Gill said shyly.

She suddenly jumped onto him and embraced him in a hug. Gill didn't know whether to return the hug or break this very embarrassing moment. He decided to go for the former.

"Hey! You kids shouldn't be here!" a night guard yelled as he wanted to close the park.

Kelsey then let go of the hug before Gill could return it.

"We should probably head back now." Kelsey suggested

"Oh, yeah. Right." They both left the park and headed for the Pokémon centre.

-A-

It was the next morning and Cameron, Zoey, Sierra, Irina, and Dawn were eating breakfast meanwhile Kelsey was about to head downstairs to reception but she was stopped by "Mike".

"Hey, you're Kelsey right?" he asked. "Irina told me about you. I'm Mike."

"Oh, she talks about you too." She said and winked at him. "Anyway what is it?"

"I was wondering if you have any more Mega Rings you could spare?"

"I have one more. Why?"

"Well I heard you gave one to Gill yesterday and I was wondering if I could have one. I want to have a rematch with Zoey and this Mega Evolution could help."

"Sure, any friend of Irina is a friend of me." She said and handed him the Mega Ring. "What Pokémon are you going to Mega Evolve anyway?"

"A Garchomp."

"Wow, that's a strong Pokémon. You got down I have to sort something up here. Hey, test it and tell me if it works I'm not sure if the right stone is in there."

"Will do" And Mike went downstairs and saw everyone eating breakfast. "Hey guys." He said. "Hey beautiful." Mike then kissed Irina on the cheek and her face became redder than a tomato. This made Zoey seethe with rage but did a good job of hiding it. That is until she crushed the glass of water with her bare hand.

"Zoey. Are you alright?" Cameron asked

"Yeah… I'm fine." She said as she calmed down. 'Just calm down, Zoey. It's probably just another one of his personalities again.'

"Sorry I can't stay. I have something to take care of." He said and he took his Pokéballs from Nurse Jane and ran out of the Pokémon centre

"I've noticed, Mike has been acting weird since he saw Gardevoir's Mega Evolution." Said Cameron

"What!" everyone at the table except Zoey

"He's taken an interest in Irina's Mega Ring."

Kelsey later joined them

"What's up guys?"

"Where were you, Kels?"

"Oh Mike asked me to give him a Mega ring so he could use it on his Garchomp." Suddenly Zoey, Cameron, Dawn and Irina dropped their utensils and stopped eating. "Was it something I said?"

"If I remember correctly, Mike doesn't have a Garchomp." Said Cameron.

"Indeed, Cameron is right. None of Mike's…characters use Garchomp." Dawn stated.

"Well what did he need the Mega stone for?" Kelsey asked.

"This is suspicious. Maybe we should keep an eye on him." Said Cameron. Suddenly they all heard a zap and then they saw Sierra on the ground with yellow sparks coming off her and Dedenne ran onto Irina's shoulder. "Hey Irina, I was wondering. Are you single?"

"Sure I guess so."

"Well I… I mean maybe, could we go…" Cameron didn't know what to say and he began blushing.

"Yes?" she asked with added enthusiasm in her voice.

"Could…"

The doors suddenly opened Gwen, Leshawna and Trent walked through the doors

"I though you three left?" said Dawn.

"Well the bridge is being repaired so, like you. We're stuck here for a while." Said Gwen. She looked towards Irina. "Do I know you? I know I've seen you from somewhere."

"Uh… no. Guess I must have one of those faces." She said and chucked awkwardly "Oh right. What were you going to ask me, Cameron?"

"Uh nothing." He said drooping his head down.

-A-

Meanwhile in the Desert Resort. Mal and his team and a few other Team Mutant grunts were there as he called them there

"Now you can witness Mega Evolution!" said Mal as he held up the Mega Ring Kelsey gave him.

"This isn't going to work." Mel muttered

"But if this works, we can get our Pokémon to Mega Evolve too." Said Michaela excitedly.

Mel did a mental facepalm. "You have no idea how Mega Evolution works do you?"

"Witness real power!" he threw out Garchomp and it roared. He pressed the stone on the Mega Ring and… nothing happened "No!" Mal said as he was getting frustrated. He kept pressing the stone but Garchomp couldn't Mega Evolve.

Mel rolled her eyes and walked towards him. She grabbed his arm and took a quick look at the Mega Ring. "No wonder he won't Mega Evolve. You have the wrong stone. This is Houndoominite, in order to Mega Evolve Garchomp, you'll need Garchompite."

"All right smart ass, why don't you go find me one like a good little grunt."

"Impossible, you can't find Mega Stones in the Unova region, you'd have to go back to wherever you got this from and get the right stone. And don't bother asking me to find it because I have no idea where to start."

"Oh I know exactly where to go." Mal then smirked

-A-

Meanwhile in Mike's head he was still chained to the rock that was shaped like Mal's head. He was continuing to move around trying to get free. Mike then heard a chuckle.

"Struggle all you want, you're not getting out of here, ever. Though you attempts to escape amuses me."

"What are you planning, Mal?!"

"Well I've already taken control. My next step is to awaken the Dark Stone. Destroy Team Plasma and not just take over Unova but the whole world!" Mal chuckled to himself again. "And as long as everyone thinks I'm you. I have nothing to worry about." Mal chuckled to himself again.

"I WILL GET OUT OF HERE!" Mike yelled as Mal now left him.

-A-

It was midday and the group was at the amusement park Gill was hanging out with Bridgette and Dawn. Gill was playing a carnival game where he had to hit the cans with a softball.

"How long does it take to win a prize?" Bridgette asked

"Hang on, I'm trying to aim."

"Here's a hint, don't throw it like a Pokéball." Bridgette joked.

He threw it and finally got it. "Haha, finally!" he yelled. The stall owner handed Gill plush Clefairy plush doll. "Here, I finally got it." He gave it to Bridgette.

"Thanks a lot, Gill." Then they saw Irina's Dedenne hid behind Dawn.

"Dedenne, where are you?" Sierra called out. "Have you seen cute little Dedenne?" she asked

"Nope, we haven't." Gill told her.

"I'm fairly certain we didn't cross paths with her." Dawn added.

Sierra sighed. "Dedenne! Ohh where are you!"

Dedenne came out from behind Dawn's legs and wiped sweat off her forehead. Dedenne saluted and ran in the direction opposite from Sierra.

"That poor Pokémon." Said Bridgette.

"Oh Crap! I forgot something!" Gill yelled

"What is it?"

"I'm supposed to meet Kelsey at the Ferris wheel!"

"You mean like a…date." Bridgette smirked.

"No it's not a date!" he yelled. "We're just getting to know each other better."

"Sure you are. You might want to hurry." Gill ran to the ferris wheel.

Meanwhile Kelsey was waiting there with Irina. "Do you think he, changed his mind?" Kelsey asked her friend.

"No, I'm sure he's just running late." Said Irina,

"Maybe I was too direct with him, maybe I shouldn't have embraced him like that. Maybe…"

"Maybe, you're overthinking things. Besides it's not like he skipped town. You'll see him eventually." Both girls saw him running towards then. "Well speak of the devil." He got there and was lightly panting.

"Sorry, I forgot."

Irina looked at Kelsey and smirked. "Okay you were right."

"Irina, Kelsey, uhh Gill how's it going?" Mike asked as he walked towards them

"Hi there Mike." Said Irina.

"Hey, I was hoping that we could go out to dinner tonight? What do you say?"

"Oh Mike… I'd love to."

"Hold up!" Kelsey butted in. "She'll go we triple date with me and Gill and Zoey and Cameron."

"Oh sure." 'Great now I'll have all of them watching me. Which means I'll need a plan to get the Mega stone.' "Now if you'll excuse me I have to check on something." And he left.

"What was that triple date thing about?" Irina asked

"Because, according to his friends he's been acting weird. Besides Zoey came up with the plan should, he ever ask you out. Although I never would have guess it would have happened so soon."

"It's okay, I'm glad you guys are there watching my back."

"Hey, uh. What's a triple date?" Gill asked.

"Boy Kelsey, you sure can pick em." Irina jokes and Kelsey punched her arm. "Okay, sorry about that." She said still giggling from her reaction.

-A-

Later on in the night the group were in a restaurant close to the Pokémon Musical. They all sat on one table. With Kelsey sitting next to Gill, Zoey next to Cameron and Mike next Irina.

"Oh, so this is a triple date. But wait I didn't know Mike and Irina were dating." Said Gill

"Neither did, I!" Zoey growled.

"Okay so what should we talk about?" Kelsey asked trying to break the tension.

"Oh why don't we discuss what we should do about Team Mutant?" Camron suggested. Mike glared for a second at Cameron. I heard that two Pokémon trainers were attacked by them last night and there have been some suspicious activity in the Desert Resort this morning."

"I don't think we need to worry about them. They're probably just trying to get into the Pokémon centre like they did in Castellia City. I sure what you heard was just minor occurances." Said Mike

"Oh well, I was told you were sleeping while the other trainers were attacked and you went missing when everyone knew of the Desert Resort incident. Weird huh?" said Gill

"Yeah you know what else is weird, my shoelaces they've untied themselves." He went underneath the desk and suddenly Gill found himself being kicked in the leg very hard and he yelped in pain.

"OW!"

"Oops , my bad I couldn't see anything under the desk." And he kicked him again. "Oh sorry, I'm just clumsy." He kicked him another three times and a tear fell from Gill's eye as Mal was putting him in pain.

"Mike! Are you kicking him on purpose!?" Zoey asked sternly.

"What me, I would never." 'I'm never going to get the Mega Stone under these conditions. Well time to cause a rift in this little group.' Mike wrapped his arm around Irina's waist.

"Uh… Mike, what's up?" she asked now feeling flustered

"I just wanted to comment of how beautiful you are." He said flirtatiously. Zoey noticed this and clenched her fist. Kelsey put her hand on her fist in an attempt to calm her down.

"Oh well thanks…" she replied.

"Every time I look at you…" Mike took hold of both her hands. "You remind me of a princess." Irina's whole face went red once again.

'Princess, he's never compared me to a princess before!' she though at this point she had enough. She swiftly got up from her chair. "I have to go to the bathroom." She said quite angrily. Suddenly Irina's Gardevoir came out from her Pokéball.

"I'll go with you." Said Kelsey and Gardevoir walked with them but shot a glare at Mike.

Dedenne who was with Irina the whole time ran over to Cameron and jumped on his shoulder.

"That's weird, Dedenne usually trusts everyone." Said Irina. "I wonder why she seem so scared. Not to mention Gardevoir came out of the Pokéball by herself."

"She probably need to vent about something." Said Mike.

"Oh I hope I didn't do something to her."

-A-

Meanwhile Zoey was in the bathroom along with Kelsey and Gardevoir.

"Kelsey, you need to put your friend on a leash!" Zoey screamed

"Hey it's not my fault she has a crush on him." Said Kelsey.

"What am I supposed to tell Cameron." She said toe herself.

"What about Cameron?"

"Don't tell anyone but Cameron, told me he's madly in love with her. And he's mad at Mike for breaking his promise to help him."

"Looks like we have a love triangle here."

"Garde, Gardevoir." The Pokémon said.

"Huh?"

Gardevoir's eyes glowed light blue and she outstretched her hand and Zoey and Kelsey's eyes glowed light blue, suddenly the went back to normal.

"Well that felt weird." Said Kelsey.

"It's only temporary." Said an unknown voice. They both looked towards Gardevoir. "I've linked our minds telepathically so that I may speak to you."

"Woah! Does Irina know you could do this?"

"Yes, but I had to tell something important to the two of you."

"Okay, go ahead." Said Zoey.

"Your friend Mike, may not be who he says he is, you are aware of his personalities, well I sense a dark, horrid force inside him. At this point I can't tell if Mike is who he says he is but I can still sense a dark force inside him."

"Anything else?" she asked

"I can only pick up the name… Mal."

"Mal?" Zoey and Kelsey said simultaneously. "Have you told Irina about this."

"Yes, but she wouldn't believe me, but she is looking for any suspicious activity. Anyway we have to get back. I fear Irina and the others may be in danger."

They got back and saw that nothing changed.

"Oh you finally got back." Said Gill

"Yeah, so tell me, Mike. Have you heard of someone named Mal?" Kelsey asked he tensed for second but only Gardevoir knows.

"Not really, sorry guys but I have to go. I'm feeling little tired." He then walked out of the restaurant.

Cameron went with him and he went outside and he saw Mike was gone. Though he did see a dark figure jumping from roof to roof. 'Is that Svetlana?' he thought.

-A-

Hours later Mal was in Irina's room at the Pokémon Centre and he was looking for the Mega Stone.

"Where is it!?" he said to himself he then he saw a bag under her bed he didn't look at yet. He rummaged through the bag and saw what he was looking for.

"Finally!" He put the Garchompite in his pocket, he then heard a person on the other side of the door.

Irina entered her room and saw Mike on her bed.

"Mike! What are you doing here!?" she asked clearly surprised that he was in her room. "Well I saw your door was open and I thought you would have… needed some company." Irina's cheeks were becoming rosy. Before she could react both Gardevoir and Sylveon came out of their Pokéballs. Gardevoir held him in place with Psychic and Sylveon blasted Moonblast at him and he flew out the first floor window. "Gardevoir, Sylveon what did you do that for!?"

"It had to be done." Gardevoir told her telepathically.

Meanwhile Mike was sitting outside the window and he made his hair cover his left eye and he got back up.

"I may have been thrown out the window, but what I got was worth it. Now I'm one step closer to world domination." He laughed to himself. Mal ran to a black van that had a red M on the side. "Let's get out of here. I have all that I need." The van was now heading for Castelia City and beyond to Team Mutant's secret base.

-A-

Mal has everything he needs to Mega Evolve his Garchomp. What is Team Mutant's next plan and will our hero's be ready to stop it and where is the real Mike. Stay tuned as the answer to the questions will be answered as the journey continues.
