Chapter 75 Umira Gym Battle
In the next room, which consists of female simulations, and Ash has to battle each of them.
Simulation Who What When Where Why: When does your apartment revolve around Entei's basketball?
She uses Hypno and Oranguru to battle, and Ash goes for Venomoth, even though it takes a lot of damage from Psychic moves, but it manages to use Bug Buzz to knock both Pokemon out.
Simulation Who What When Where Why: Top ten thesis statements made by sneezing gumdrops! (Recalls Pokemon) About the snowy ears.
Simulation Sea Seater: My kitchen isn't scary, but you might be a microscopic theater!
She uses Alolan Raichu and Bruxish to battle, and Ash goes for Morpeko, with the Ability, which has been annoying the Pokemon from the simulation side, and it uses Aura Wheel to defeat both of them.
Simulation Sea Seater: The asteroids fall again! (Recalls Pokemon) I was always a big fan of doing chemistry while sleepwalking.
Lillie: That's dangerous...
Simulation Is A Belle: Isabelle is a Bell
Ash: Not again...
She uses only Gothitelle to battle, and Ash goes for Obstagoon to battle, and it defeats the Pokemon with Snarl.
Simulation Is A Belle: Is a belle Isabelle? (Recalls Pokemon and presses a switch) A belle is a belle.
Lillie: I hope that is the last one...
Ash: Me too.
After leaving the room, they notice that the Holiday Meowstics are gone, so they go into the next room, only to see four Inkay floating around.
Ash: Lillie...there is a stairway and a door, which way should we go?
Lillie: Do you really need to ask me about this? But I think we should go to the staircase.
As they walk downstairs, they find the two Meowstic standing in front of them with two different paths, and Ash and Lillie know what is going to happen.
Both: Hello! We are...
Father's Day Meowstic: Father's Day Meowstic!
Mother's Day Meowstic: And the Mother's Day Meowstic!
Ash: Okay, they're Holiday Pokemon.
Father's Day Meowstic: So you've finally made it to Isabelle's Gym!
Mother's Day Meowstic: Isabelle has Espurr "agents" from all over the region observe trainers!
Father's Day Meowstic: We observed you from the one at the Virima Hotel!
Mother's Day Meowstic: And maybe you've met our daughter, Halloween Espurr?
Lillie: We did meet her in Wonky Pond.
Father's Day Meowstic: You may or may not know of us, but we're Holiday Pokemon!
Mother's Day Meowstic: However, we function a bit differently than the rest!
Father's Day Meowstic: First, you'll have to take us both on in a Double Battle!
Mother's Day Meowstic: Then you choose which of us to become!
Father's Day Meowstic: We each have a small section of the gym only accessible to us.
Mother's Day Meowstic: So, do you think you're up for it?
Ash: Of course we are.
Lillie: Even though I don't think this is part of the Gym Mission...
They use Sableye and Spiritomb to battle them, and they are much stronger than the rest of the holiday Pokemon. In the end, both Meowstic are defeated and they are impressed.
Father's Day Meowstic: You've done it!
Mother's Day Meowstic: We're so proud!
Father's Day Meowstic: Very impressive!
Mother's Day Meowstic: We knew you had it in you!
Both: Whenever you want to become one of us, just say so!
Ash and Lillie decide to change into Male and Female respectively as they check out what is in the section. Ash finds three kinds of prototype simulations, one of them being himself, Lillie, and the final one is a genderfluid that they don't know about, and each pocket contains a Life Orb, Toxic Orb, and Flame Orb.
As for Lillie, she finds four Yellow Shards, and a bunch of Shiny Unown for her to capture, but she doesn't want to do that as Ash already has an Unown.
After getting back up the stairs and entering the door, they finally find the Gym Leader, Isabelle.
Isabelle: Hi, you're invisible. Well, not really. I just made it to where I can choose who can and can't see you. You are observing someone named Nelson. Nelson is tall, so people look up to him. You watch as Nelson flawlessly eats an apple. You watch as Nelson's eyes water with delight at the apple's taste and he yells out "SUCH FLAVOR". You follow Nelson to his house and watch him sleep, then the next day you follow him to the library, where he plans to write a song about recycling bins. Not about recycling itself and why people should do it, but literally recycle bins.
Ash and Lillie have no idea what she is talking about, but they don't interrupt her as she continues her saying.
Isabelle: Only, before he gets the chance to sit down, something weird happens..?! The background goes from a library to a multicolored mist, and then you and Nelson are in a strange room. I was conveniently asleep when this happened, and didn't wake up until after the transportation had been complete. There is one other person in this strange room. This person is doing snow angels on the ground. Whenever Nelson speaks to him, all he says is "URRRRRRRRRR ^O^". This is the part where I woke up and realized what was happening. I allow Nelson to see you, and I give you a microphone. This microphone is your opportunity to give words of encouragement to Nelson. What will you say to him?
Just then, she uses her Psychic powers as six Pokeballs are floating in the air. And the first one pops open as she suddenly sends out her first Pokemon, a Wobbuffet named ObscureParadise.
Lillie: Okay...that is what her Pokedex says, I guess her nicknames are from what she has thought about the Pokemon.
Ash: But just by her first appearance, I can tell she is a weird person.
Ash goes for Lucario, as it is aiming for the Dark Pulse so that Mirror Coat won't be effective to him. But the Encore is giving him a lot of problems as well, in the end, Wobbuffet is defeated.
The second Pokemon is Mr. Mime named RubberDucky, and Ash switches into Bisharp for this one. Mr. Mime basically can't hurt Bisharp, so it has been using Light Screen and Reflect, but Night Slashes and Iron Head still defeats the Pokemon.
The third Pokemon is Musharna named 2NE1, and Ash switches to Heracross. But the Psychic Terrain boosts the Psychic attacks, and Heracross is defeated, leaving Ash to use Bisharp again to defeat it with Night Slash.
The fourth Pokemon is Malamar named BeamKirby, and it uses Superpower to knock out Bisharp, so Ash goes for Volcarona, using the Quiver Dance and Bug Buzz to finish it off.
The fifth Pokemon is Claydol named Salsa, and it uses Earthquake to knock out Volcarona since it has been damaged a lot when battling Malamar. Ash goes for Froslass to battle, with the Ghost Type advantage, it defeats the Claydol, but Claydol uses Trick Room, which Ash knows how hard it is to beat.
And the final Pokemon for Isabelle is Bronzong named Smogon. As its Gyro Ball becomes very fast and knocks out Froslass. Ash sends out his final Pokemon, Greninja, and uses the Bond Phenomenon to deal Night Slashes on the Pokemon, and eventually finishes it with Water Shuriken.
Isabelle: One time someone gave me a colored pencil that turned me into a vending machine.
The six Pokeballs are gone, instead, there are two things floating towards them, one is the badge called Imaginary Badge, which is Ash's thirteenth Badge, and the second one is a Pokeball containing an Espurr, and it is for Lillie.
Lillie: So I think I have an Espurr to take care of? Weird.
Ash: I know.
Isabelle: When the grass was taking a survey, three pieces of spaghetti decided to overhear your lava lamp mention that almost all light bulbs are pink. Throwing triangles and taking pictures of boomerangs are spectacular forms of literature. Lapras.
Ash: Still, I don't know what she is talking about.
After leaving the gym, they find the others, with Delicia, Felicia, and even Peach are there as well.
Peach: I knew I'd find you guys here!
Felicia: (Greets the boy) Peach!
Emily: Yeah, Peach! How are you doing?
Peach: I'm doing fantastic, thanks for asking. How do you like Isabelle's Gym? I might be biased because I chose her as my successor, but she's my favorite!
Gladion: It was definitely something...
Peach: It sure is. Something super fantabulous! Anyway, I came to tell you that Ivan, Meda, and Brutus are all coming to Crolea's party!
Crolea: That's so cool! Thanks for inviting them, Peach!
Felicia seems to be the one who doesn't know about the party, so she is confused.
Felicia: Waitwaitwait. Crolea's having a party?
Delicia nods at her sister with confirmation, and Peach suddenly yells.
Peach: Crolea's having a birthday party!
Felicia: Nice, can I come? I could do some magic tricks!
Peach: I'd love to see some magic tricks!
Crolea: (Drags Felicia by her ear and whispers) Can I trust you? I've just been kicked out of Team Portal, and they've tried to recruit my mom before. You can come if you don't tell anyone else from Team Portal about the party.
Felicia: I promise I won't!
Crolea: Okay. I hope you're being sincere. In return, I won't tell anyone you're in Team Portal.
Peach: (Confused) What are you all whispering about?
Crolea: I was just asking Felicia what kind of magic she can do. But I changed my mind and said it'd be more exciting to find out at the party!
Ash and Lillie are surprised and they know it is a lie, but Peach doesn't seem to be bothered.
Peach: I agree! Well, anyway, I'll be off now! Have fun!
Lillie: See you later, Peach. (Watches him leave the place)
Crolea: (Looks at the land in front of them) The middle path to the north of here goes to the Giggly Grasslands. That's where you'll find Carol's Gym and your next badge.
Gladion: Then let's go see if she's finished collecting those simulations! If not, we can help her.
Here is a new chapter, and the 13th gym is completed, as you can see, Isabelle is a weird person, but she is also strong indeed. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be some rematches against someone from Team Portal.
