Oak P.O.V As I am working on my research I hear the phone ringing and wonder who would call me at this time of day as I walk to it and answer Oak "Hello who is this" as I see his face and frown Avary " Hello professor its been a while" Oak " So if it isn't my old assistant who became a poacher and so what do we owe the pleasure. I will give you to the to the count of 5" Avary "You know why I joined them and that I already left them over 7 years ago, but this doesn't matter and I am talking to you because of my son, I think I need your help with him." Oak thought surprised at this revelation " You have a son. And what do you mean by helping? You left after 4 years to only be a poacher for a year and crawling to me to help, what about when I asked you to quit you said you were there for Sarah." Avary " I adopted him when I found him as a baby and I understand I hurt you and Delia I am very sorry and that's why I didn't come back after I left them, I kept up with my training and I am now an official Pokémon doctor to help for the wrong I did. My son is special. I knew it as soon as I met him. He has a connection with Pokémon on a deeper level with emotions and more, I need you to help him before gets hurt or used please." As I think and understand where he is coming from as a father and realized that I have to help as I just wanted an apology from him but it should have been years ago and truthfully thinking his son could be a great help to me and my research but I wouldn't let Avary know and though of a way to reunite him with his sister Oak" Bring him to me and you have to live back here in Pallet town and make up with your sister Delia." Avary looks sad and says "okay and you're right it's about time to make up with Delia" 5 years later Deacon P.O.V I walking in Gramps backyard taking care of daily needs of the Pokémon while my 3 Pokémon that I got special permission to catch before my 10th birthday last year helped me by carrying food and berries for the various Pokémon under his care when I hear Oak Oak" Deacon I have something that you might like to hear about" ran to him. Deacon" What what" excited as the last time Oak said that he gave me 3 friend balls to catch my friends. Oak" As you know with your abilities as an empath we are still not sure on the exact cause as most likely think it is either through the power of psychic or aura abilities no matter what we tried, and I realized that putting off your journey was right as I think you should work with one of my colleague for a few years and start your journey in his region as I think it will help you find your path. That I know you have been having trouble deciding what's best for you with your great talent as a trainer." Deacon "Why gramps this is my home are you giving up on me" Oak" No no, since I first saw you I realized that although you can connect with all Pokémon on a deeper level than normal trainers with with emotions and though you seem to have a special connection with dark types and I think that Hoenn will provide you more opportunity and Birch can teach you more thanks to his research and methods." I think he might be right ever since that incident. I still haven't thought of the path I want to follow but then I think of father, aunt and my cousin baby Ash. Deacon" what about my family" looking sad Oak" They know that you wouldn't stay forever and that every trainer has to go on their own journey" he looks at me and at my side to my pals I look at them and see Houndour, Larvitar and Scyther looking at me determined and I can feel intent around them overwhelming me that they are ready and follow me anywhere. I make my decision and say Deacon" Okay I will go" as I see him smile at me and tell me everything will be ready in a week as I go to see dad at the clinic.
Deacon P.O.V As we are at the port getting ready for me to depart, my family is here. I see dad, gramps, aunt and dads Pokémon Sunny, his Umberon (I always laugh at that but he named it before it evolved) and Honchkrow who refuses every name attempt. I am starting to get sad at the thought of leaving them but I can still see them on the communicator, as I hear the whistle telling me it is almost ready to depart. Oak" It is time to go, I have a gift for you that you might need for your travels, it's called a Pokédex it tells information about Pokémon you might encounter and lets you scan them to find out more about them and allows you to put your observations in the database that is fact checked by professionals for authenticity" Avary " Son my gift to you is a dozen assorted balls to allow you make more friends as it was you who got me back on track and gave me family" Delia "My cute little nephew to match your navy blue hair and your deep black eyes I got you this purple jacket and black and yellow hat(similar to ash). They will look so good on you, be sure if you meet someone tell us" as I blush a little. I smile and say goodbye while hugging them and tickling young Ash goodbye as Houndour walks with me as he hates his poke-ball. As I am on the ship and wave goodbye as I think of meeting gramps colleague birch I start to get sleepy. I head to my room to release my Pokémon to get them to eat and ready to sleep. A few hours later I wake up due to the feeling of a Pokémon in great pain coming closer and closer. I wake my Pokémon and run out to the direction that I can feel the Pokémon in pain and try to see in the darkness when I finally see a ship coming that gets me very angry and causes me to unleash my power in anger which alerts my Pokémon and are getting ready to action. While the people around start to get nervous with a chill spreading to them and start to look in my direction and look to see a pirate ship is headed towards getting them more scared. As I look to my Pokémon and I say to them Deacon" When they are close enough we are jumping on" as I am getting ready and shout "Now" And we jump, landing on deck. random pirate P.O.V We were getting ready to ambush the ferry when all we heard was a couple of large thumps and saw in the darkness some figures and that I came to the realization that we were ambushed instead as we have no idea where they came from. All of a sudden I have feelings of fear and dread that cause me to freeze as I see my fellow pirates also freeze before we start releasing our Pokémon, a mix of Zubat and poochyena. As I finally see our opponent I start to freeze again when I figure out who it is from his Pokémon. I scream "It's the Hunter run or we are done" as I see the houndour look at me and before I realize I get knocked out. Deacon P.O.V I am slightly surprised they recognized me but what can I expect from my action after destroying 3 poacher groups and stopping team rocket twice. I knew what my father did but I know he was only taking care of Pokémon already captured to make sure they were in good health. But still I will not let any Pokémon hurt from these types of people when I can stop it. I can feel the pain they feel and will not let them get away and there is a Pokémon on this ship that needs my help. As I shout Deacon "Houndour use roar on the pirates then ember on Zubat, Larvitar use thrash on Poochyena and Scyther razor wind on the mast." ?" who's making trouble on my ship I will throw you overboard" Random pirate "Cap its the hunter" Captain" so what" he releases Golbat and Mightyena Deacon" Houndour ember on Golbat and Larvitar Iron head on Mightyena" As Houndour is attacking Golbat the captain orders both his Pokémon to use bite as Houndour was tired from his many embers gets hit and thrown back as Larvitar continues with iron head with no fear as they connect Mightyena is forced back from Larvitar's strength. Meanwhile Scyther takes down the mast down and I return him and call out to Houndour when I notice him glowing and he evolves into Houndoom who jumps up and fires flamethrower in the air and I shout Deacon" Great Houndoom target Golbat with flamethrower and when its down finish with bite" As the captain sees this tries to order his Pokémon to dodge but is too late as both his Pokémon are knocked out. As I order my Pokémon to watch the pirates as I get rope to tie them up, and finally get to look for the Pokémon in pain I head to what I assume is the captain quarters and when I open the door I am shocked and then a wave of anger comes off me and knocks out the remainder of the pirate crew. I saw a shiny Carvanha in such a small tub that it could barely move and I realized why it was in pain so that the captain could catch and sell it easier. As I get closer I lighten my aura and try to make realize I mean no harm as I say to him Deacon "Hello, their little guy I know you have been through, allow me to help, hey guys help calm him down as I treat him." As Carvanha starts to feel better it starts to think and sees that I'm helping him and starts to calm down and bask in my aura realizing it doesn't want to be alone anymore, starts to cry as it was kicked out of its school for being different and tries to get Deacon's attention. As I look at it and notice its intention with my abilities decides to ask Deacon " Do you want to come with me" as it nods and with a smile takes out a dive ball and say "okay" As I watch poke-ball indicate it was caught I smile at my Pokémon.
Deacon P.O.V As I look up I see many on the ferry looking down at me in astonishment and decide to climb back up after tying the pirate ship to the ferry. As I am on deck I notice someone headed for me and when I see her face I say Deacon" Hello officer Jenny, nice night isn't it" Jenny "Hello hunter, didn't expect you to be so young and I'm guessing you are going to hand them to me to detain and take credit for, correct" Deacon" Sounds right and I am guessing this is the reason you are on this ferry as I know it is not common for Jenny to leave their region on unofficial reasons" Jenny " They have targeted over 3 ships in a month and have been hard to track down as they attack at night with no lights, on that note how did you see them. Also lucky for you since it was dark I don't think many know what you look like" Deacon" Weaklings like that should have been captured for finding them I heard the cries of a Pokémon on their ship" as I walk away and heads towards my cabin and say to Jenny "No one hurts Pokémon around me and walks away free" I saw Jenny in a look of thought as I got out of view and houndoom followed me inside and I decided to brush his fur before we went to sleep as tomorrow I will meet birch at the port. Next day As I see the port coming closer, I get ready and have houndoom by my side and decide to ask if he is excited about our new day and he looks at me and licks my hand. As I walk down the bridge and I hear ?" Deacon is that you I am Birch's assistant Joshua as I can't seem to find him again as he is doing field research again I came for you myself" while sighing and directs me to a jeep Deacon" How did you know it was me and I expected this to happen thanks to his reputation" as I bring my bag to the jeep and Houndoom jumps in the back. Joshua" Hehe, while I heard about your Houndour, I am guessing Houndoom now and you kind of stand out in crowded with your looks a-little" as he starts the jeep and takes us down a dirt road towards the lab. As I was looking outside when I spot a dust cloud chasing down a man in a lab coat and I turn to Joshua and point and say Deacon " Is that prof Birch there being chased by Poochyena and stop the car" As he looks over in surprise of the scene in front of him Joshua" Yes we have to help him" as he stops the car I get out and let houndoom know it's okay and that I have this. As I walk ahead to where there going Birch sees me and tries to tell me to get out the way, as I ignore him and just let a soothing aura spread from me to calm the Pokémon down from their anger and I get down on one knee said Deacon" calm down and come to me you don't need to be angry and be in fear of me and let me help you" as the Poochyena calm down and instead of chasing Birch start to jump at me surprising and scaring birch and his assistant thinking I was being attacked until I start laughing and begin playing with them when Houndoom comes in and joins the fun while Birch and his assistant not sure what was happening. Birch P.O.V As I looked at the scene in-front of me and couldn't connect it to the Pokémon chasing me just moments ago as I stepped on a tail. I heard stories from oak and from similar cases around different regions and it does make me curious if he meets the young girl from Hoenn I heard about. Birch" I think we should get back to the lab and get cleaned up" as he looks at himself and Deacon and notices that we are both covered in dirt and fur Deacon" Okay, now guys be good and go back to your parents I am sure they are waiting for you" as Deacon and Houndoom get in the back of the jeep and as we drive off I see Deacon brushing his Houndoom without a care in the world. Birch" So how long have you been able to do that and to what extent do you have it under control" as I look back at Deacon and see him contemplating on what he should tell and when he looks to have come to a decision and starts to speak Deacon" When I am in control I can feel Pokémon emotions around me and project my emotion to both people and Pokémon and can get Pokémon to understand my intentions. When I lose control of my emotions I can cause people and Pokémon to feel my anger and put pressure on them and even have the weak willed to faint" As I listen to him I start to understand the implications of his words and think on how this can help me and why Oak sent him to me even though we never met. Deacon P.O.V As we walk into Birch lab building his assistant shows me to my room that I will be staying at for a couple of years and wondering what birch has in store for me. After freshening up and going to find birch and ask him Deacon"I caught a new Pokémon that needs to healed can you do it" looking at him as was sitting while eating Birch"Easy just release it on the table and Joshua can take very good care of it" Deacon" I need a water source as it is a Carvanha I rescued from pirates" Birch" okay then release it in the tank at the back and I will call Josh" as he starts yelling for him and watches as I walk back and release as he is shocked and surprised at the fact it is shiny making him understand how it was so easily caught by a weak pirate as it was most likely osterized from its school for its colour. When Josh appears to ask what's needed gets surprised as well but then gets to work allowing for me and Birch to talk about my role for the next couple of years. Birch" So what you are going to be doing with me is as I travel to different Pokémon habitats to understand how Pokémon interact with them. I can also help give you more connection in the area for when you go on your journey and find your path" Deacon" Sounds good and it will allow for me to fill up some of my Pokédex for gramps" As I say good night to Caravanha who is enjoying himself being able to swim more freely who then splashes me causing houndoom to dry me as we walk to my room where I feed my Pokémon ands brush and clean them while I was watching them getting ready to I decide it is time to name them.
Deacon P.O.V Deacon" I have decided to name you guys and first come to you Houndoom for congratulating your evolution I decided on Cinder how do you like" and in response she jumps on me while licking my face and I see the high expectations my other Pokémon have for me while slowly coming up with names. As I look atScyther and Larvitar who are looking up at me made me think of their future and how I should decide to name them. As I think of names that can suit them with their personalities and characteristics when inspiration hits me startling my Pokémon as I told them Deacon "Larvitar for your strange love of the water name going to be Creek and for you Scyther for your style of battling I think Shin suits you" as I see the looks they have contemplating deciding if they like or not when they all of sudden jump on startling cinder who decides to join the fun before we all sleep on the floor together. Morning As I wake up seeing my Pokémon sleeping I quietly exit the room and head to see Carvanha to see if he is okay when I spot him eating in the tank while he notices me, I climb to the edge of the water and wait to he comes to me when I start to talk to him Deacon" Hey buddy I was wondering how you were doing when and was thinking if you wanted a name from me to deepen our friendship" as I look at looking at me happy and splashing me while swimming in circles in the water excited when this gives me the idea for his name Deacon "what do you think of dash as you seem spirited and going at full force" and the next thing I know he knocks me in the water and dragging me around when I get tired tell him to bring me to edge as I pull myself up as I notice Birch looking at and smiling Birch" You in some ways remind me of me as I was in a similar situation with Wilmer as they didn't want me to stop playing when finally their parents told them to let me go. Anyways I was about make food for the Pokémon and get ready to bring you meet my good friend close to here" Deacon "Sounds good but I first want to call oak and my father before we head out" as I see my Pokémon come out my room and see Cinder walks up to me and slowing dries me off with his heat as we head to the kitchen and start to eat As I walk towards the phone and dial in oak as it is ringing I hear the dinging telling me it is connected and shout in surprise as I hear the screaming of kid as I see a young Gary being chased Oak '' look Gary it's Deacon you like don't you" as he points to Gary's face as he calms down and starts laughing while I smile at him. Deacon" How are you doing gramps, did you get the data I sent to you on my newest Pokémon I think he will get you real interested" as I see question marks form on oaks as he reaches to look at his messages and finally looks surprised and says Oak" you have to send him to me I must research him" As I laugh and say " sorry no can do at the moment I just got him and want to train him and get him to trust me more. I called to say I like it here and that after a couple of years I will challenge the league before I think of my path. Also I wanted to see if my dad was at the lab as I am curious if he knew what was going to happen on the ferry I was going to take" Oak" your father went to look for an old friend of his he hasn't met in years and told me he might be out of contact for a while. Also knowing him probably he seems to know more about these things then I think possible" Deacon" Too true. k Bye gramps will talk another time" as I turn it off as I head to Birch with Houndoom in tow toward the jeep. As he tells me Birch " We are headed to Petal-burg and meet my friend for you to meet him he has a daughter and soon who has just been born and I haven't met him yet and you can see one of your future opponents" As I look surprised at his words, I start to get excited about who else I will meet while working with professor Birch and towards the future.
4 years later Deacon P.O.V After leaving Prof Birch over a year and half years ago I made my way to sinnoh on 2 pieces of business when I had gotten word of something I was searching for and about a dangerous individual I hunted after I found out about her. As for my appearance, I have long navy blue hair while wearing a black Jacket with a blue design. While there's a scar between my neck and shoulder just visible above my undershirt. In my time I have caught a few Pokémon and have had them taken care of by gramps, such as dash and slash as they need a special environment to live comfortably. I also finally got permission to officially catch the Pokémon I found on my last raid on the sinnoh hunters. As I am finally headed back to Hoenn to start my league challenge. As I am looking at the horizon as Cinder Deacon" Do you think much has changed and do you think they have forgotten me already buddy" Cinder" Hound, Houndoom" Deacon "You are probably right, I haven't heard from those 2 in a month or 2 I am pretty sure they would be pissed" Cinder" Houndoom" Deacon "It's not my fault we were stuck their with no comms it was that idiot fault for forgetting to bring them" as I see we are close to shore I get ready to port as I was surprised when I felt 2 presence that I recognize on shore 20 minutes later As I walk down I smile as I see Dad and Birch there and a guy I never met close behind. I was surprised to see dad as I thought he was back at home and as for Birch I can count on one hand the number of times he was on time for a meeting. When I noticed that dad was limping and see him missing his left foot, causing me to lose control in what's been months as I ask scowling Deacon" What happened" as I point to his foot Avary " I will tell you back at the lab as it is time to tell you somethings, also this guy here is Scott who I am quite surprised has heard about you and wanted me to arrange a meeting" says pointing at the guy in sunglasses. Birch " follow me, I will drive us to my lab" as we walk while scott heads towards me and extends his hand to shake which I comply while he says Scott: " Nice to meet you. I have heard about you from2 acquaintance of mine who wants to be nameless" to which I shrug as that can be a number of people, good and bad. I get back in the jeep with my buddy in what feels like the thousandth time and cloud watch as we get closer and think of my memories of the last few years wondering about how my few friends are doing. As Cinder licks my hand radiating trust and affection I feel the jeep stop as I get up to jump off and walk inside the lab ready for some answers. Avary " She escaped again and this time and took my leg with her" as he feels the sudden intake of lost control radiating from causing everyone discomfort. Deacon " How she was supposed to be heavily guarded at all times" as he thinks to that wretched woman, and tries to calm down thinking of his partners and of those 2. As I finally calm down I think of my newest member and decide I have to tell him. Avary "She had a former client help her to escape and she has decided to lay low as our friend is still looking for her through his connection and I will contact you as soon as she is found, you don't have to worry Hunter J will be found." Birch `` We all will help how we can as you know of our sponsoring of a relief centre for Pokémon who have been poached and hunted for money, through physically, emotionally and spiritually. That brings us to our friend scott here who is heading all efforts financially and though connections'' causing me to be surprised as I know how big this is going and wondering about his capability Scott: " Yes and I am very glad to help them, on another note after your hoenn league challenge I have an opportunity that you would love to enjoy." smiling at me causing me to wonder at that. As everyone is getting ready to leave I call oak and ask him to take back all but 4 of my Pokémon and have dash ready when I am near water that can allow him to swim. As I have my original 3 Pokémon and my next addition as I see my Slash waving at me behind gramps' back making me wonder how my little Nuzleaf got his joy for pranks as he is moving every time grampa tries to see him knowing he's there as I say goodbye. As I am leaving the lab with Cinder in tow I release my baby Deino out ready to tell him some sad news as I low at the scar he has on his neck similar to mine. As he is thinking this is fun when he starts to try and bite my shoes, as I bend down and hug telling him what has happened causing him to cry in grief over his parents killer. As I try to calm him down and decide that he should stay out with me and Cinbar for a bit.
Deacon P.O.V As we are walking through the forest on our way to Petal-burg, I watch Deino run around trying to bite everything and getting chased by wild Pokémon causing Cinder to use a roar to chase them away. I am very happy how this Pokémon has opened up compared to how he was before. As I wasn't paying attention, I started to realize I have no idea where we are going. As we tried to find our way back I called out to Shin to try and climb up and find our way as I can't even see the sky from the overhead trees. As he comes down and says Shin " scy, scy, scyther" Deacon" So we are 4 days away from somewhere it's supposed to be 2 days away by walking" as I sigh thinking not again and start to get ready our camp to take care of my Pokémon and feed them as notice Deino chasing a group of Shroomish as call to him Deacon " Deino don't bother the Shroomish, do you guys want food too." as they look at me excited as I ask shin to find some extra berries around the forest. As I am cooking I notice that Creek is getting closer and closer to them, making me wonder what he is thinking before I see him have a smirk before he uses a scary face on the Shroomish scaring them into evolving into Breloom, as I realize this can cause major problems in this ecosystem. As the Breloom looking angry at creek before using mach punch at him and I yell Deacon" Cinder uses flamethrower and crick uses Iron dense then thrash" as they follow my instructions, Deino gets upset at breloom attacking his friends using dragon rage but failing and hitting a few trees instead and knocking some seedot off and making them unconscious. As creek is getting hits and hitting he starts to glow and evolves into Pupitar knocking all the breloom back. All of sudden shin appears in the middle using leer and getting everyone to calm down and stop the fighting. Deacon " that's enough, creek you have to apologise and great job shin in stopping the fighting" as rub his head causing him to be in a great mood. shin "scy, scy" Deacon '' yes yes okay you can get your treat you know where they are '' as he rushes to my bag as I think of my current problem as I wonder where they came from as I begin to see them slowly going back to the forest and decide why bother they can take care of themselves now. As I get back to cooking and feeding myself and my Pokémon. After that all is done I fall asleep in the open beside a campfire. Morning Deacon " Shin you are our guide to we get to town" as I put my other 2 back as we begin walking I notice that as we find the path I hear commotion up ahead as I see a young girl probably fresh on her journey battling a Wurmple with a Skitty and assuming to catch it as I watch think that she has potential as she throws her poke-ball and catching it with no problem, as she notices me staring at her with my Houndoom and says ?" Is that a Houndoom, awesome, can I pet him mister"as I watch her try to pet Cinder who growls before I shake my head Deacon " you have to be more careful in the future, not all Pokémon are as well trained as mine. How long have you started your journey, are you challenging the league or contest" ? " My name is Abby, and I'm trying to be a coordinator and then I will see in the future." as she picks up the ball holding wurmple Deacon" good luck with that, you need to work hard to be successful and try not to limit yourself, you are still young and have much more time to find your future" as I start to walk away following where I sense shin ahead and follow him for the next couple of days when I finally see that we are free as I finally see Petal-burg and decide to rest at the Pokémon centre before going to see norm for that gym battle. Abby P.0.V That guy was so cool and his houndoom was amazing hopefully I can meet him again, if I can ever get out of this forest, wandering if was lost as well as I haven't seen another person in a whole week making me catch wurmple hoping for a guide" hoping Deacon P.O.V The next day I wake up I figure I should head to Norms house as I haven't seen them in over 2 years wandering how his kid is growing and see if he is ready to battle, as I leave the Pokémon centre and follow the path I see his house as walk up to his door I hear him yelling max from outside in the background causing me to be confused. As the door opens I see norm with a tired face with a kid in his hand. looks at me in surprise before he beckons me to come in.
Norm P.O.V The last I expected to greet in the door in the morning was Deacon when I woke up to max and may jump on us for breakfast. As we headed to the kitchen and started cooking, max started running around the house not wanting to wash his hands before eating causing me to chase after him when I heard the doorbell ring making me wonder who it was this early in the morning as I pick Max up and open the door I surprised to see Deacon with a puzzled expression on his face. when I hear Deacon" Hey Norm how's Maxie as he scowls at that name, and I'm here for that gym battle you promised and what's that nice smell"as I beckon him to follow me to the kitchen Norm'' I was expecting you at least a year ago, what was the hold. Where were you Birch didn't say anything about last time he came by" Deacon " was in sinnoh and caught up in some matters that got my attention, that delayed my league challenge by over a year" as I see his partner houndoom looking strong as always causing me to be eager to his challenge as its been a little bit since I had tough trainer making me think if I should put some requirements to challenge me. Norm "let's eat and talk then we can battle in the afternoon at my gym. Honey we have a guest for breakfast, and may come here say hi to Deacon"as my wife and daughter say hello with may hiding behind her a little as she nervous as she can remember who Deacon is, as he notices Deacon " It's okay she was still young when I left, and hello Caroline pleasure to see you again and as beautiful as ever" As we sit down Deacon goes over some of his adventures and I notice he left a few things out as I can see the deep scar just coming out from under his shirt making me curious on what he's been through and little worried as I remember when I first met him with birch and his companion always by his side. Deacon P.O.V As we are eating and talking about somethings the other has missed has gotten me thinking about the battle that is approaching, making me glad that I told him to keep his Pokémon he is using as a secret to make it more I think of the order of my Pokémon for the battle as it is 3 vs 3 get me excited and want to be ready for a challenge. 2 hours later at Normans gym As we are set to battle norms let his family watch, as he usually doesn't allow me to take out Deino to spectate as he is still too young to battle causing the whole norman family to be surprised as they have never seen that Pokémon before ask about it. Deacon " this Pokémon is deino I got when I was in sinnoh but comes from region called Unova and it's just a baby making me want to watch for the future and has potential for greatness."as I see and unasked question in norms face making me believe he can guess how I got knowing about my ideals and a little of my past. As Norms new assistant Kenny act as the ref for the challenge walks to his podium to start the match Kenny " The gym challenge with Deacon the challenger and Norman the gym leader may begin it is a 3 vs 3 and only the challenger may substitute."as he waves his arm down I throw out my poke-ball holding Creek Deacon " Come on out Creek start of with Iron defence" Norman " come on out Slakoth start with fury swipes" As I had called out iron defence greatly boosting his defence fury swipes does barely any damage, as I tell him to use chip away forcing Slakoth back and showing it caused great damage as it is breathing hard Deacon" use bite while he still recovering and don't let him go while smacking into the ground"as he jumps at Slakoth trying keep the distance close Norm " Slakoth try to keep the distance and use hidden power" As his Pokémon tries to dodge but as he his hurt is slow enough to be caught by Creek and is being man handled and smacked around uses hidden power hitting Creek as smoke forms blocking us from see our Pokémon, as the smoke slowly clears I seen creek standing and Slakoth fainted on the ground. Kenny " Slakoth is unable to continue, call out your next Pokémon" Norm" thank you slakoth, come on out Vigoroth" takes back his Pokémon and lets out his next one. Deacon" can you keep going Creek" as he looks at me and nods.
Deacon P.O.V As I see Vigoroth it makes me guess what is finale Pokémon is going to be, also seeing Creek looking tired makes me want to end this battle quickly before he gets to tired Norm " Keep your distance from him and use flamethrower"showing me his experience as he seen through Creek strong physical strength and slow speed but it will take much more than that to win as I came prepared Deacon " Head towards his direction was using dark pulse to intercept his flamethrower as you get close enough use chip away"As he gets closer he slowly corners Vigoroth into a the corner of the battlefield as Norm shouts Norm " use fury swipes trying to knock him away" As he shout I tell Creek though my aura to tell him when vigoroth gets close to use thrash to end it not letting him get away, as he follows my instructions he gets hit a few times by fury swipes gradually getting both damaged as they tussel as me and norm look at each other agreeing that this will decide this battle as Vigoroth falls over fainted and creek is breathing heavily causing both me and norm to call our Pokémon I say to creek good job as he won the battle by staying up from intense battle. Norm " nice going Deacon your pupitar is very well trained to be able to attack with thrash without orders making it have good battle brains, here is my final Pokémon, come on out slaking" as he release is giant ape Pokémon Deacon " Thank you very much norm, he was one of my very first, and here is a an old Pokémon I kept in surprise for against you come on out shin"as I release him surprising him as he never saw me with a non dark Pokémon but what can I say I do have more of affinity with them but that doesn't mean I only have them. Norm " I wasn't expecting that Pokémon but I will let you have the first attack" Deacon " Shin use double team and use sword dance" while telling him to use his speed not to get hit not letting norm to know our strategy Norm" Smart but that's not enough use earthquake slaking" as he uses that, I tell Shin to keep moving and stay light while using brick break on slaking as it is very effective but as expected of slaking strong defence it is still going strong, as get shin to use agility to keep from getting hit from slaking as norm calls Norm" use focus punch on the ground and then use counter next time scyther attacks" causing the field to buckle and become uneven but what norm doesn't realize that helps me as shin travers over all types of terrain from my travels and training making even better over them then flat terrain As I called out to shin " Keep using brick break from behind with your speed not allowing to get hit once by Slaking" as I he follows my orders and gradually slaking is getting hit more and more and finally falls over Kenny " Slaking can no longer continue scyther is the winner the victory goes to Deacon" as he waves is arm and points to me Deacon " Great job Shin, gets some rest" as I return him to his poke-ball and see norm walking to me Norm " great battle Deacon I was expecting for you to use your Houndoom to battle Slaking you really threw me a curveball there here's the balance badge" as he hands it to me and I thank him when all the sudden I get hit in side and I see Deino looking at me excited making think he wants to battle Deacon "you are not ready yet close but not yet" as I rub both his and cinder heads as we celebrate. As we all head back to norms his kids are looking at me with awe as I beat there dad and his wife says Caroline " Great battle guys and congratulations on your victory Deacon, I will start to make dinner soon so come and enjoy it with us as I realize you are probably headed out soon. Back at the house during dinner Norm " so where are you headed next Deacon, gym battle or training or your little hobbies" Deacon " I will head to Rustboro for a gym battle and I am always looking out for my hobbies or new interesting Pokémon" as we eat I start to think of my Pokémon back at oaks and what Pokémon I want to find as I am thinking this I hear norm talking with Caroline about rustboro gym and how the gym leader is thinking of retiring soon so if I wanted a good battle I should head out soon causing me to give my thanks. As I head out getting ready to leave rustboro I see may come to me and ask May "what do you think I should do when I start my journey, I really want to travel" as I hear this I think and say Deacon "I don't really know, as I don't really know my own path yet as it is never too late to start even if I started later than usual but I had circumstances. I have a cousin that should be around your age I haven't seen in person in years who wants to be a trainer. There are many such as trainers, coordinators and even breeders who need to go out and gain experience" as I ruffle her hair and smile as I leave.
Deacon P.O.V As I start to head to Rustboro I think it will take around 5 days of walking and think of what I know of it and as I think I remember that a big company is based there and I should say hello to my friend down there. I release Deino as I think I should start with is training as he looks at me I start explaining Deacon" So we are going to start your training and ask a dark and dragon Pokémon you have specialized in physical power but I also want to train your dark and dragon energy as I have trained the others in that I can have Cinder show you will moves such as bite and dark pulse both moves that will heavily be utilized for you and after you evolve. As I will work on your dragon powers we will start with while we walking you will start shooting out dragon-breaths at the ground ahead of us to start to learn control and stamina."as we walk after a few attack he starts to get tired while I tell him when he is ready to start again and we repeat for the next few days as we rest at night and eat while practice battle training while we walk as for practice for real life battles as my other Pokémon realize the importance. On the 4th day we are all walking and practicing I hear a voice ahead talking to 2 younger trainers ?" Your Pokémon our ugly and will not have potential your type is all wrong for coordinators as Pokémon that are bug, dark, ghost and rock all have no potential as they have no gracefulness needed for contest, your murkrow and your poochyena have no beauty and future in contest and you should release them. What you need is a beautiful and graceful water or ice type, like my hero Wallace specialized in, they are made for contest." as I hear this I start to head toward her and getting angrier the more I hear as I notice the same with my Pokémon, she turns around and notices me with my Pokémon and states ? " Gross, seeing such dark Pokémon have no future, no grace with such a man, training them is such a waste, You should listen to me and get rid of them, they will only be problems. I the great Grace can help you if you want" and that is the last of it as I go off Deacon '' these Pokémon are my friends and family. I am not getting rid of them and they are graceful and can win contests as it is the trainers ability not the Pokémon type that determines if they can win a contest or if they are strong. You who forces their opinions on others and downgrade what you don't like have no grace"as I say to her who starts to get mad and her face red Grace " yeah and what do you know, how many ribbons do you have,I have 2 with my beautiful vaporeon and Glaceon as well with my other beauties." Deacon " I haven't participated in a contest and wasn't planning to I heard the word from your mouth, there's a contest in 2 days in rustboro that I challenge you at, with only 2 days of prep I bet I can wipe that smile off your face."as I see her with a mocking face and tone Grace " fine but if I win you have to say on tv that those types have no business in the contest and if you win I will take back what I said and will even train a dark type Pokémon." as I have the perfect Pokémon for her to train. Deacon " deal"as she leaves I look at the 2 young trainers holding their Pokémon and I smile seeing the love they have for them and say Deacon " don't listen to that horrible person. All Pokémon have grace and beauty that they can use for contests, most dark Pokémon have a cool aspect that you can use in contests. My father has a honchkrow that has the grace in the air that's hard to be seen by other Pokémon. I can tell you what my Pokémon can do and I want you to watch the contest and see me afterward. And whats your names and I'm guessing twins right"As they look at me and the boy decide to tell me ?" I'm Cain and this is my sister's cell short for celery, she was named after the legendary Pokémon celebi, and are you sure that her Pokémon look strong? " As I smile at them and say Deacon "for sure you won't want to miss this"
Deacon P.O.V As I head to the pokemon centre in Rustboro city I start to think of how I think of the first Pokémon I encountered in sinnoh and couldn't believe my luck at the time it was more powerful than my other Pokémon that I decided to leave him with gramps so I didn't rely on him to win. But as my Pokémon are closer to him after my journey sinnoh, it seems to be time to have him with I enter I walk to Joy and ask Deacon " Can you treat my Pokémon to a check up" as I hand her my poke-balls and have Cinder follow her. I walk to the phone and call gramps as it is ringing he finally picks up Oak" Hello Deacon, how's the journey, any badges yet." as I give him brief on what happened and see his shock on that trainers attitude Deacon " Can you send me my pal from sinnoh, I want to use him for the both rounds and want to have him for my journey for a while, also can you send me 3 of those Pokémon I had to catch from that mess that idiot merchant made a while back"as he looks at me in shock again and as he understood my intention with them and then smiles Oak" Sure thing as you know you have to keep them inside as you're close to your limit, I still don't know about your collection of Pokémon, you won't tell anyone your plans with all of them" as I smile and indicate it is a secret and say goodbye after the transfer. As I head outside to the forest to practice for tomorrow and show that egotistic trainer her place. Next day As I wake up and smile as I brush my Pokémon I walk to the canteen and see Grace eating I smile and say Deacon " Are you ready to lose our bet and admit that all Pokémon have potential in battle andycontest." as I see her face red and hear Grace " I stand by what I said some types are just not meant for contest, you need a Pokémon that is born graceful and potential as contest are forms of beauty, companionship and trust between Pokémon and trainer" as I agree with her opinion on a contest is I disagree of her idea of what beauty count as Deacon " See you at the contest then" as I head to eat with my Pokémon At the contest venue As I look at the trainers at the venue I recognize another face as I walk towards her smile and say Deacon" Hello abby, nice to meet you again in better circumstances"as she sees me and smiles Abby " yeah I just made it for the contest and what are you doing here I thought you were a trainer and would want to battle the gym" as i tell her what happened and saw how she agreed that all Pokémon have potential as I hear the announcer ? "I'm the master of ceremonies Vivian Meridian. The appeals are awarded points by a panel of judges, Mr. Contesta from the organizing committee, Mr. Sukizo from the Pokémon Fan Club, and Nurse Joy from the Rustboro Pokémon centre. The Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round. Now let's start off with our first contestant."as the first few contestants, I don't see any threats as I hear them call abby and smile at her and say good luck as she heads to the stage and releases her Pokémon Abby " Come on out Jonny and show your charm, and use safeguard then blizzard" as her skitty comes out and begins to glow inside a blizzard showing great control and skill and then uses iron tail to hit the blizzard causing it break apart in a cloud of mist and finish it up with a beautiful thundershock on the it causing to sparkle and glimmer like diamonds causing the crowd to cheer The three judges in order " Remarkable,splendid use of the mixture of ice and electricity to create a scene to accent skitty, The idea of using safeguard to make sure the audience is still focused on your Pokémon to make him the star is brilliant" as she walks towards me and smiles as she lets me get ready after a few more contestants I hear my name called as I walk to the stage and release my Pokémon Deacon " come on out my friend" as my Pokémon comes out as a shadow as I say to use embargo and will o wisp as it reveal it self to be spiritomb as the mystical chains circle around along with the flames with the use of psychic as they float I tell him to use ominous wind to cause wave like patterns to spread out from him causing the other moves to pulse rhythmically as I finish it up with sunny day to show the brightness and highlight him and his moves. As I hear the crowd cheer again. and again the three judges in order " Remarkable, It was like a hypnotic dance took over us making continue to watch, The making use of spiritomb body characteristics to align himself with his moves and not hide shows great understanding of his Pokémon strengths" As I walk to behind stage I see grace looking at me in contemplation and before heading to the stage as she is next and calls out her glaceon Grace " Come on out my trusted partner" as she starts to instruct her, to use ice beam to make a rink with ridges and structures out of ice as glaceon uses mirror coat to shine on her own ice wonderland as she skates around while using frost breath to leave a trail in air of ice particles that ends in the shape of a falling star and ends it with aura veil to showcase her wonderful grace on the ice as cheer forms in the stadium and again he three judges in order " Remarkable, the great use of her moves to make terrain to showcase her grace and Pokémon's strength, it shows great control to be able to form a falling star in a terrain of ice"as the rest of the contestants perform and finally waiting for the contestants who passed the first round. As it shows I passed in 5th place, grace in 4th and surprisingly Abby in 1st.
Deacon P.O.V As I get ready for round 2 battle, I look at my opponents and see I'm in the opposite bracket of abby abby and grace so I can only meet them in the finals if we make it. My first opponent isn't anything special as he will be using a Lombre and knowing Spiritomb strength shouldn't be to difficult as for my opponent I think I will be facing in the next round will be a little more difficult as I will be facing a I watch the contestant in front of me I see abby go first against a trainer with Nuzleaf as they are battling I notice that she doesn't have enough experience as the first round showcasing her Pokémon as she barely won with points in the last second with a well timed blizzard that was super effective on grace it was a lot easier as her opponent was using Taillow that her Pokémon was very effective against with a few well timed for the trainer with Marshtomp easily took out it's opponent Torkoal as I get ready for my battle I see my opponent headed toward his spot as I take mine Vivian " Let the contest battle commence" as she waves her arm to start the battle As I call out my Spiritomb I order him to use shadow sneak as he hides on the battlefield waiting for his opponent to make a move before he gets behind and hits him. As Lombre trainer calls out to use water gun as I call Spiritomb to use shadow sneak again then to use shadow ball to finish the battle. As the next round I watch abby and grace battle I see them call out their Pokémon while grace doesn't give her chance while keeping skitty out of tempo and makes the battlefield a rink again causing skitty to not be able to stand right and every time he tries to attack the power behind moves him around make him not to be able aim and unsteady making abby nervous and giving proper commands as Glaceon finish it with iron tail. As I see Abby upset I walk to her and say. Deacon" You have great talent in showcasing your Pokémon you need to not get flustered in battle and get your Pokémon to be able to battle in different terrains with full power" as I ruffle her hair and head to my battle As It starts we call out our Pokémon I decide to battle differently this time as I start with confuse ray causing my opponents Pokémon to be confused as I start to get the battlefield ready as use sunny day to weaken water power while Marshtomp becomes unconfused as his trainer order him to use mudshot while I order spiritomb to use hypnosis and when he is asleep use dream eater until he can't fight anymore. As the finale battle is between me and grace as she walks to me and says Grace " I will show you how graceful Ice type Pokémon are and leagues ahead of dark types" as I look at her and think she might have mental problems as she should have seen my performance so far as I start to think something isn't right as we head to our respective sides Vivian" Okay for the final battle for the Rustboro ribben is between Grace and her Glaceon and the dark horse Deacon and his Spiritomb, let the battle begin" as we call out our Pokémon and I order Spiritomb to to keep moving around with shadow sneak with will o wisp floating around him showcasing his strength and keeping Glaceon away in a distance as every so often I order shadow balls and dark pulse to surround her keeping her still while I get spiritomb to combine will o wisp with shadow ball to give it the property of fire making it super effective and the finishing move while he is dodging ice beam and frost breath as I realize he must not know many non physical I call out to Spiritomb congratulating his hard work and notice Grace walking to me while putting Glaceon back in her poke-ball Grace" I realized I wouldn't beat you but still wanted you to use your full power In our battle and will follow through with our bet" as we shake hands and head to the award ceremony I ask Vivian If I can get Grace to honor her bet, while she laughs at but agrees thanks to our top rated we head to the entrance I spot the 2 twins that started this and tell them all to follow me to the forest and tell them Deacon "So I said I am going to give you all a dark type Pokémon with potential, while here they are as I release 3 Pokémon" as I get surprise on the face of the three as they never saw them close to it. As I explain Deacon'' These Pokémon are Grimer but they are not the usual ones these are alolan Grimer making them dark and poison, I had gotten over a dozen of them when a merchant thought he could use them and had them shipped illegally and they escaped causing a lot of harm and I was allowed to keep as thanks as they can be pretty useful" as I show them details of them and its evolution Muk look like as they all like how they will look. As they thank me I walk away talking with Cinder about our battle tomorrow with the gym leader. ? P.O.V As the mysterious woman watches the contest on the tv and smiles when she sees him and decides to call her friend Woman 1 " Deacon is in Rustboro and will probably be there for a few days what do you say we surprise him, with a plane we can be there in half a day and we can tell him what happens when he ignores us right" Women 2 " Couldn't agree more about our little friend, I will meet you at the private airport that stone uses. I don't think he would mind you"as they are heard laughing over the phone.
Deacon P.O.V As I walk towards the gym I promised that I would use Cinder I will use him first today, he was a little upset when I didn't use him up against I look up I notice a plane in the distance, thinking today is going to be a good day as I spot the gym and head inside I see an old guy instructing young kids to battle. As he notices me ?" Hello young man, are you here for a gym battle"He asks me as the kids look up excited to watch Deacon " Yup, I am here for my 2nd gym badge as I beat norman for his badge first, and who are these kids, your grandsons perhaps?"as he looks surprise as I beat Norm knowing his strength and lack of holding back he gets a glint in his eye as he laughs ?" I am the gym leader Shade and I am also the principal of the local trainer school around here waiting for a student to come and able to take my place and speak of that, here's my top prospect RoxAnne running here now" as I hear a girl calling out to him to wait for her with a Nosepass trying to keep up with her RoxAnne" hey gramps whos that handsome man with Houndoom and you promised to help teach my nosepass that move" as she smiles at me Shade " I know I know, I will after my battle with this young challenger here" as he realize I haven't gave my name yet as I tell him it's Deacon as we head to the battlefield RoxAnne wants to ref as I am okay with that as we head to prospective sides RoxAnne " The battle between rustboro gym leader Shade and challenger Deacon is ready to start it will be a 2vs2 battle and only the challenger may switch during battle" as we release our Pokémon , as call Cinder to the battlefield and see him release a Ninjask causing me to be a little surprised as I have to end this fast as it will continue to get faster the longer we battle as I call out cinder to start with using flamethrower as he orders his Pokémon to use double team then try x-scissor as I order flame wheel as he gets closer and to continue to gain speed as they impact causing smoke to form as I can sense Cinders okay while they are covers I get him to use bite on ninjask and not let him go as the smoke clears as we see him with ninjask struggling and I notice his bite has become fire fang dealing more damage as I see my opponent faint. As shade calls him back RoxAnne " Ninjask is unable to battle the winner of first battle is houndoom call out your next Pokémon" As I leave Cinder in as he took little to no damage as Shade calls out Shedninga as I smile seeing why this is a tough gym if you don't know that annoying ability as I see Shade look at and sees I know his start with faint attack trying to draw him knowing that this will only take a hit or 2 to end it as I hear him use shadow sneak causing me to try and find him and I get Cinder to use sunny day increasing his moves getting rid of some shadows causing Shedninja to appear and as I tell him to use fire fang on him before can move phantom force and hits before it can get attacked as I see Cinder lightly shaken as I tell him to use flamethrower before Shedninja cand hide again and it hits. RoxAnne " Shedninja is unable to continue Houndoom wins and the victor goes to Deacon." Deacon "I really enjoyed the battle as it was very interesting as your first Pokémon uses speed to not get hit and to head in with strong attacks at full speed increasing their strength further and your Shedninja to hide and keep throwing your opponent off pace while gradually lower their strength, thank you"as I walk to him and as he hands me my badge Shade" you have a very strong Pokémon there and great knowledge as you seen through my strategy, here is my badge the evasion badge" as I see roxAnne walk to me and gives me congrats as she starts to tell me her Pokémon and she can meet me again ever as I say we can see in the future as I head out of the building seeing to figures in front of me one a young lady around my age and the other quite younger ?" We knew you were going to be here as we saw you in the contest with that woman, right ane" Anebel " Right you are Lucy, from big brother who hasn't seen us in a year he found another girl to travel with, where is she by the way. You haven't called us in over a month too might I add" as I smile and despite their attitude I can feel the warmth coming from them Deacon " Hi Annabel and Lucy, it's nice to see you again and there's a reason as didn't have comms for over a month while I was stuck in the mountains chasing J as you know, also that was grace at the contest a trainer that I had to fix her attitude" as I explain Lucy" Yeah but when you headed back to Hoenn you had access again am I right" as I realize I couldn't get out of this without an apology Deacon " Okay I'm sorry I know I should have called you guys when I got back, also I have a gift for you 2 that I got from sinnoh that I left with oak that I want to give to you" as I smile and then I get hugged from the 2 as we walk to the Pokémon centre I tell them what they missed as well show them my 2 new Pokémon I got while I was in sinnoh releasing Ditto and I see ane talking to cinder and lucy smiling at deino as I see me and spiritomb left ignored and say to him Deacon "Don't worry buddy I'm here for you" as he jumps at me wanting to ride on my shoulder.
Deacon P.O.V As we head to the front desk of the centre and I tell cinder to go with nurse joy as I give her spiritombs poke-ball as I tell lucy and Anebel to go ahead to the canteen, as I had to make a call and had to let Lucy keeping playing with Deino to not follow me. As I head to the phone and dial gramps and it answers and I see him on screen Deacon " hey gramps I got my second badge and met with Anne and Lucy so can I get those 2 transferred here please" as I see him just looking at me with a grin and not talking and I ask him if he's okay again seeing no reaction I realize who this is as I call out Deacon " Okay Ditto stop playing and get me oak before I get Weavile to punish you again" as I see untransformand I see him run off until I hear in the background let go of me Weavile as I see gramps and surprisingly my aunt on the screen with a weavile pushing gramps and I explain what happened with ditto while aunt Delia smiling in the background. As oak walks outside trying to find my Weavile and the 2 Pokémon for Lucy and Anne. I see my aunt smirking Delia "so how is Lucy are you 2 doing well since the last time I saw you" as I smirk at her and say Deacon " We are doing great, how is Giovanni by the way" as I smirk as I know not to talk about her husband who me and my dad have been looking for as he hurt our family. As I see her look at me and sigh Delia" you really do know to much, I know that I'm the only reason that he can be gym leader while he has his other job, if not for Oak protecting me and we can't touch him either thanks to the deal" as I look at her a little sad as she left thanks to her husband who left her shorty after ash I only know thanks to my dad and gramps trusting me Deacon"Anyway how ash doing I haven't seen him since he was 2 I think he's the same age as gary right between 6 and 7 right" as I haven't seen him as much as gary thanks to my adventure and him always out while I worked with oak on many occasions and he raised him. Delia '' He's doing well you know, always active and fighting with Gary like always, he's also entering Oaks Pokémon camp in a week" as she smiles and makes me think of when I hear Gary complaining about when doesn't know I'm his cousin as I laugh. I see oak coming back with a pissed of Weavile who then looks at me in the screen and rushes at me before realising I'm not there as I say Deacon " Sorry buddy you know I would love to have you with me but some of my Pokémon only listen to you besides me and Cinder especially those two pranksters" as I look at ditto trying to get out of site when Weavile notice my gaze and says Weavile " weav, weave weavile" as he grabs waves goodbye and runs off as I can only shake my head at my Pokémon as Oak comes on screen Oak" I'm happy you left him, he's the only one that can control your Pokémon. It is still very strange, anyways here are these 2 they are very healthy" as I can only sigh at my eccentric Pokémon as I receive 2 poke-balls from the transfer machine. Deacon" Thanks I gotta go, also say hello from me to dad, ash and gary" As I hang up before they can say anything as I walk to the canteen and smile at Lucy playing with Deino as they ate I sit down at my place beside her with a fruit Avary ad. Deacon" after we eat I got your presents for you, I will show you out back" as I see them smile knowing they are going to like it, as I feel Anne trying to probe me to get hints while I smile and tell her through our connection not yet as she looks a little shock at my growth. As she is so far one of the two people I met that shares a connection with me through our skills as I see her as a little sister as she sees me as a big brother. As I see Lucy smiling at the thought of how I care for her. Little later behind the centre on its field I hand them their respective poke-balls and tell them Deacon "While I was in sinnoh I couldn't help but look for something for you 2 and couldn't find something suited for you as Lucy I know of your fondness for serpent Pokémon with your gorgeous style indicates and you anabel with your connection to psychic Pokémon. Took me big favours with 2 profs but I got them for you 2 ." as I see them release their Pokémon for Lucy which is a Snivy and for Anebel a Gothita, when they see them get really excited and run to them and hold them as I smile and see them check them with their national pokedex. Anebel'' Thanks big brother I forgive you now, this Pokémon is awesome. Come on out and greet your new friend" as I see her release her Pokémon as I see Metagross, kadabra and Espeon who look at their new friend until they notice me and Metagross comes to me and looks around before sighing as I rub his head knowing what he is looking for. As Anebel sees this and asks where Beldum is, I smile and explain how he evolved and is with oak as he is a little lazy. I think back to how I met her and our 2 pokemon years ago while I got the Beldum and she took Metang in my memories and her great skill with psychic Pokémon as evidence with Metagross this prodigy. As I hear a noise and feel something on my back Lucy '' Thank you so much Deacon, I love it" as I see her smiling and hugging me in happiness while I see Snivy playing with Serviper and Milotic before she realizes what she is doing and turns red as I smile at her awkwardness and feel the warmness coming from her.
Annabelle P.O.V I haven't seen big brother in a while and he got stronger again, I can't catch up to him like always even though I skills aren't the same as I believe we get them for different sources as it can be seen by our compatibility with our Pokémon affinity that I believe many high level trainers have even though some might not find it. Mine I believe comes more from my connection to nature and believe others can learn it even big brother even if he has his own way to get similar results while his I believe originate from him as he connects to others. I still remember how we met as I was being chased by some angry murkrow after playing with the local beldum near my house and I couldn't connect with them when he came swooping down with his houndoom getting to stop making me realize he is like me before he convinces them to go back to their nest. As he turns around and looks at me all I can feel is a warmth radiating from toward me and the Pokémon. As he says to me Deacon" My name is Deacon, why don't we return these little guys back to their parents" as he points to them and when we get there we get permission to capture one each of our choice as he smiles and picks a young one while I take my friend metang. As I smile while remembering that I smile at Gothita and start to communicate with her ask what she liked and if she wanted anything as she decides she wants to ride Metagross, as I ask Annabelle "Big brother how did you get these Pokémon anyways I know they are from unova but you have never been there if I'm right as I ask" seeing his expression it seemed it was hard Deacon '' I had to collect a few evolution stones for Professor Rowan, that wasn't too bad as I got a few extras that I got to keep with something else for him to contact Professor juniper who then wanted a fossil from sinnoh where I had to go find on island. To only find out she was friends with oak and he could have gotten them for me a lot easier, but still it was pretty fun to track them all down and got a few treasures from it" as we look at him thinking how long it took him to do this as I smile at his antics as no matter what he does it becomes complicated. Lucy" Thank you so much for this cutie I will raise him to be a strong contender for our jobs" making me nudge her reminding we are supposed to hide it from him as we promised scott Deacon "What jobs are you talking about, aren't you 2 trainers still, I was wondering if you guys wanted to travel with me in Hoenn for a while" as we shake are heads even as we wanted to but can't as Lucy" We got jobs as you were away and we now live in the kanto and johto region after we got our badges we got job offers that sounded fun to us, so we can't come with you" as she looks very sad as we have to leave soon, we walk to Mr. Stones company as we talk and see him outside his building he smile and waves at us Lucy" Thanks again for letting us use your airport we had a great time as we met up with him" as she points at Deacon who then says hello to stone and asks where his son is as they are friends from a few years ago who then says probably looking at rocks at the moments. As we head to plane I hug Big brother goodbye and said when I have time I will come to see him as I see Lucy fast as a bolt kiss him on the cheek before getting on the plane Deacon P.O.V I was stunned by what Lucy just did as I can feel she likes but I know she isn't good with emotions as I see her head onto the plane I smile as I thank Mr. Stone goodbye and start to head to the port to get to dew-ford island for my next gym battle and were I think my good buddy is staying at right I talk to Cinder about Lucy and Anne I wonder what their new jobs is when I start to think of scott as he said that he heard about me from 2 friends and I didn't think it was a coincidence as I smile looking forward for more.
Deacon P.O.V As enter the port I see no ferry and realize I missed it as I look for a boat to get me their as I see a sign saying rides to dew-ford meet at pier 3 as I smile and head there and see a ship in the shape of a Sharpedo as I smile and board it looking for the captain and when I see him I am surprised as he wasblind, as he hears me ?" Hello there. I am guessing you need a ride. I am ready to leave anytime and I can reach there in 4 hours if there are no problems, by the way, name Captain Ship and that guy up there is cloud" as he points on the mast an Altaria as I smile at it and say okay. as we head out I couldn't help but ask Deacon " is it okay to ask a question captain" as he smiles Ship" let me guess how do I know where I am going" as I smile yes " While I have been doing this for a while and I have cloud and under the ship I got my buddy current tapping on the rudder indicating which direction I need to go" as he points down as I see a large sharpedo in the water smiling at me as I smile back. As I think this is going to take a bit I release my Pokémon to let them enjoy the sea breeze as I start to feed them and cloud, as I talk to Ship and find out things about and one thing that really surprises me is that he is the brother of elite 4 drake and use to be on ship before he lost his sight when a lanturn blinded him while scuba diving in the sea. After a few hours I started to see the island. I smile and call back my Pokémon wondering who I should use for the gym as I know he is a new gym leader as the old one retired last month giving little information about him. As we land on the island I thank Ship and pay and head straight for the gym. As I spot it and head inside I hear voices and head to and see a guy and a girl fighting as they see me and quiet down I ask Deacon" Who is the gym leader, I would like to ask for a battle" as I smile the guy raises his hand ?" That would be me Brawly and you caught me at a great time as I was about to go surfing, that's what we were arguing about, let's head to the battlefield" as I smile and wonder if this gym is going to be okay as I follow him Deacon" Sounds good," as we reach it the girl who I find out her name is Ellen who was his a fellow trainee of chucks a gym leader that they met in johto as we head to our respective sides Ellen" The battle between Dewford gym leader Brawly and the challenger Deacon is about to be begin it will be a 2vs2 with only the challenger allowed to switch" as I smile and call out Shin and he calls out meditate as we begin Deacon " Shin start with air slash" as he performs and blades of air are headed for meditate Brawly smiles as he orders him to dodge as I see it, it makes me think of a surfer using their body to feel the ways and let it avoid the attack making me think it will be harder then I first thought as he retaliates with force palm as I call shin to use agility increasing speed making him dodge with ease as I call out for him to use x-scissor making me glad I taught him it as the opponents Pokémon tries to dodge with his new speed makes it a direct hit and knocking him out as Shin hasn't taken any damage I keep him in. Ellen "Meditate is unable to battle, call out your next Pokémon to battle" as Brawly calls out Hariyama as he orders him to start using continuously arm thrust as I see the power behind it I get shin to keep dogging make look at how nimble and fast such a big Pokémon can be as I get shin to use brick break between openings and taking a hit everyone and in a while and starts to get tired I call for him to use one more big attack trying to end it and it looks like he had the same idea as he orders his Pokémon to use seismic toss as both sides hit an explosion of dust occurs and I see scyther fainted on the ground and his Pokémon barley standing before it faints too. Ellen "Both Pokémon are unable to battle as the challenger still has one other Pokémon he wins the match" as I look at the battlefield and think I got cocky as I should have played against my Pokémon's strength in speed instead of a slugfest. againstAs recalls Shin telling him good job. As I see Brawly to me and hand me a badge and smile Brawly "Here's the Knuckle badge, that was a great battle and your are the first winner against me in a gym battle as most can't seem to deal with my Pokémon's dodging ability"making me wonder way if you know what it is you see that you have to stay close and not allow for big movements to give them space. Deacon" thank you for the great battle, do you happen to know where the granite cave is? I think one of my friends is there?" as he smiles and points me in the direction but I decide I must stop and the centre first before I look for Steven.
Deacon P.O.V As I leave the Pokémon centre and head to granite cave to go find Steven as I got ahold of my end of the I talk to Cinder I take out creek and Dieno as I think they will enjoy the cave and could train against wild Pokémon in there as I see the entrance to enter I guess the I will have to walk around randomly until I find him. As we enter I see deino very excited as he runs around and chases random Pokémon around until I call him back ready to start training him on wild Pokémon in the cave and start with all the Zubats I see around and keeping telling him to work on dragon-breath with aim and I see him take on a few at time make see again how some Pokémon have an elevated status among themselves as he is crushing and a few attacks are getting through to him before I see a confuse ray resulting him to be confused and starting to attack willy nilly taking down more and more Zubats getting them to start to chase us in the cave until I get creek and cinder to attack with rock slide and flamethrower giving us space as we run further in until we his a stream I decide to follow thinking it could lead us to Steven following survival traits for I see the golbats and even a few crobats chasing us now I command my Pokémon to go in the water even if cinder is a little upset and creek loves are dragged further in the cave still, until we hit a waterfall causing us to splash down into a basin at the bottom, as I get out I see some tents around her and to my surprise in the water I see a few relic in the water going to what I assume is underwater passage to the I hear ?" Deacon is that you I didn't know you were back in the region, why didn't you call I would have come see you" as I smile Deacon"Do you want to see me or what I have as we both know where your interest lie Steven" as I see my Pokémon drying off from Cinder as I join in Steven" Your still my friend even if we both have our interest how do you like this spot I have been here for over month and love it as my first time here and there is even and large amount of steel types look at my friend here"As he release a Lairon making me wonder how many of this evolution chain as he smiles Deacon" He looks strong and just your type, by the my Beldum evolved with your advice so thanks and I need to get what you promised, as I finally found them and got you something else you might like to"as I think of how we met just after I had gotten Beldum as it took me some time to train it as he was walking by and started giving me pointers as he took out his monster of a Metagross who still gives nightmares to Creek who tried to challenge him. Steven" Now you got me curious I wasn't expecting for you to get them within a few years as they are really difficult to find, also what's the extra thing" as he looks at me with expectation as I smile and reach for my bag as I take out 2 stones and a case as I see him smile and take the 2 stones from my hands Deacon" Are the worth what I want" knowing the answer, as I wait and listen. Steven" Yes yes, It's almost impossible to find Shiny stone and dusk stones in hoenn and thanks to my situation makes it hard for me to leave the region" as he carries them while examining them to his tent and comes back with a box as he passes it to me and I open it and smile Deacon "Thank you very much shine will love this for sure" as I see a metal coat with superior quality that makes a big difference with item evolutionary Poké is very hard to get one like this even for professors but for Steven an authority on steel types as well with his father can get relatively easier then me even at a I notice Steven looking at the box and I nod my head, saying it's okay to open as he does he gets a serious face Steven" What fossil is this, I have never seen this design and that's saying something coming from me" As I smile at stumping this man in-front of me Deacon '' This is a fossil from sinnoh called an armour fossil and the Pokémon Sheldon can be revived from it. Sheldon is a rock and steel type and said to have the strongest defence" As he looks at me and smiles before getting serious Steven " What do you want for it, am I right as you know this Pokémon is follows my battle style and typing" as I smile Deacon" at the moment I have what I want but why don't we Just say a favour in the future If i ever need something we can call it even, sound okay," as we smile and shake and I couldn't to think of him as a big brother, wondering if this is how Anne felt about I can feel how other feel causing me to be a bit selective on who I trust so few, when I first met him and sensed his open and frankness nature gave me great relief.
Steven P.O.V It was a surprise first thing today when I saw my friend free falling into the basin at the bottom of the waterfall, it's not that I didn't see him doing that as I come to expect some quirks here and there from Deacon. It was just out of nowhere after not seeing him over a year after I made that agreement with him. I offered to give it to him but his integrity wouldn't allow him to take it so I made use of his resourcefulness. Also I couldn't be happier from the fossil he gave me. It makes me so excited to see new Pokémon and this hits all my criteria, steel type, defensive and comes from a fossil. I wonder if he got the news yet and I need his help now. Steven" So I am guessing as you were in sinnoh for the last year you don't have the latest news and I think you need to know, there is 2 new groups making messes around Hoenn and we don't know there purpose yet as they are recruiting now" As I see his face darkening I know he just found out. Deacon "Are they hurting Pokémon" as I shake my head Steven "Right now they are just expanding but we are just hearing rumours with no proof, confusing the league even more as it is usually just normal stealing and trying to gain power" as I agree with my run in with those types in the last few years. Steven "I also got news from my father that now makes sense that I see you, that the Pokémon you were looking for is near fortree city and been spotted on different occasions" As I see him smile that he gets for few things, as for me not getting what he likes so much about that Pokémon to chase it for over the years. Deacon P.O.V As I hear the news I get upset and then very excited and calculate how long to get there and see I have 3 gyms on the way there. As I smiled about when I first saw that Pokémon in the elite 4 battle. Deacon'' Anyway Steven as we finished business I was wondering if you know how to leave as I was running and have no idea where I am and as my Pokémon aren't the most experience in caves as your Pokémon'' as he agrees to show me out as he figured out his way around a long time ago. As we leave the entrance I say goodbye as I bring my Pokémon to the Poke-centre and feed them before we go to sleep until the next day I wait for the ferry to slateport before heading to my 4th gym I believe is Watson. As we board the ship I think of my Pokémon to use in the next gym as I take out shin and show him the metal coat getting him to reach for it as I ask Deacon" Do you think you are ready because the next stage of your training will be to read the wind as I understand is one of the hardest parts as I worked on your battle awareness, speed and use of moves." Shin "scy, scyther" seeing me tell him he is ready gives me confidence to let him evolve as I hand it to him as I watch the process I marvel at my friend and think of how I first met him with cinder and creek. As I look at cinder and see him looking at me looking excited at his friend becoming a Scizor, when it finishes I smile at him and tell him to try read the wind out at sea telling him it will be one of hardest places to learn excluding some crayons wind I watch him fumble around at first and I try to give as many pointers as I can see the gradual improvement until I have to tell him and come down and eat and rest as its been a few hours and we are close to port. After around a hour we reach port and I head to the Poke-mart as I need to stock up on supplies for my Pokémon as I see people looking at a sign in-front that I read said trick master competition for a year supply of berries and criteria is 2 Pokémon are required to sign up as I look at cinder and ask if he wants to and I can see is a yes as I notice it is today and it will start in 2 hrs so I head into the mart get what I need and head to the competition and wait for it to start.
Deino P.O.V Flashback I like my new trainer he has other Pokémon that are fun to play with while also teaching me more about my moves and type forces, big brother Cinder is the best he is teaching me so much from my moves such as bite and dark pulse to controlling the energy in my body letting me learn dark pulse and dragon pulse greatly increasing me still feels like yesterday I was playing with my mom, aunts and uncles as I never knew my father as he went away before I hatched. It was a great time in the mountains with all my friends and family and all the trees and rocks I can bite, as I found out from mom is common for our species as we use it to strengthen our bite moves that after we evolve becomes our greatest asset in day as we were playing humans came and started capturing us, as were unprepared as mom told me we lived in a dragon sanctuary, when I see a human riding a Avary amence in the distance headed for me I see mom start to attack her and Avary amence and was generally winning before she called out another Pokémon I never saw before and point in my direction as I try to run away. Mom noticing this does a last attack the Pokémon she was fighting before headed to the one chasing yelling at him to stop when she starts to use draco meteor I felt someone grab as I see the human from before who yells Hunter J" Hydreigon stop fighting and be capture before I hurt your son" as shield something to me, as mom looks at me and Mom" Son I love you, you are from a proud lineage of powerful Pokémon that will never go down without a fight and always stand by those who help us. This is goodbye" As I see her use her strongest move she told me about outrage as I see it hit those 2 Pokémon and knocking them down before she gets hit by another move from Pokémon above before I see her fall down and see her eyes lose focus from hit of hyper beam from another Avary amence much bigger than the first one. Hunter J" Pity it would have sold for a fortune with that strength as for mine good thing I had a better Avary amence on stand by as this once was killed in that desperation strike"as she puts me in a cage while I cry looking at mom. After a few days I hear noises and see everything is in pieces with humans running around before I see one coming to me with another Pokémon I never see before that has an aura around him that makes me think he is nice as he releases me from the cage I remember what mom said as I follow him until he catches me. Back to present I heard from big brother we are going to play some games and if we win I can eat all the berries that I want, that gets me even happier as I jump on my trainer wanting him to rub my head as he always seems to know what I want and if he allows it letting me know what he wants me to do. After an hour I hear the bell to start so I follow him into a doorway into s passage where I see many balloons along with a plaque that I see master read as he thinks I decide to start biting them an notice that only some pop while others can, seeing this master first looks upset and then smiles as he explains to me and big brother that the balloons that can't be popped normally can only be if 2 Pokémon at once try and that they hold a key to the door at the other side room but we can only bring one across at once as I see a trench in the room and from the sound has some electric Pokémon in it. As I decide to run across the log with a balloon with no problems as master follows he gets shocked before he turns back causing him to be surprised at it. Before realising it was the balloon, then telling me to come back over he gets me and big brother to both hold the balloon then big brother comes back with it alone and comes back over with master as we open the door. In the next room I see alot of trampolines and I run to start jumping as its been a while since I seen them and I am enjoying myself when I see master looking around before seeing 3 different colors and telling us we have to proceed on our own path following the same own colour as I get blue, big brother gets red and master green. As we reach the other side we see that each door has different numbers as I look at the master who then smiles as we both hear him tell us what button to press. In the final room master told us that we need to balance our weight on the landings that overcome the edge into what looks like a cavern deep in the ground as I see down I wonder how long it took to do this as I look up and see each landing has a designation on it as I bite master sleeves motioning to look up as he did and smiles as he pets my head again. As he looks up and down he starts jumping along a path and tells us to follow him while hitting different targets on the ceiling with our own attacks as I see more lights on the other side light up by time we hit the other side until all 10 are lit and the door I see a human with weird clothing talking as I don't pay attention and just look at the huge pile of boxes that hold the berries as I see him hand something to master who then lets me and big brother eat the berries first before letting out his other Pokémon as we all eat I see master walk to me and smile and tells me I will start in the next gym battle making me so happy I jump on him and start to bite his shirt as no matter what I do it doesn't rip. Deacon P.O.V I look at Deino today and seen how he has grown as well as my other Pokémon ames I see houndoom is at least half a size bigger then when he originally evolved makes I walk to ward Deino I tell him my reward as he jumps at me happy and starts to bite my clothes making me really glad I got them from my teacher after my little apprenticeship I had. As I look over my future battle and hope he is ready as he looks
Deacon P.O.V As I thank the trick master I recall Deino and head back to the Poke-centre for the night as I wonder what Deino is going to do in his first tough battle in a gym. I was feeding everyone as usual when I had to take out the last in my current supply of dusk stones as they are starting to get empty and I have to send them back to oak for them to get refilled with energy at the graveyard again. It is a process but I need to find more as I only have 3 and they only last a month for feeding spiritomb as it gives him more energy and Pokémon have to be fed and some can only be fed on special energy that is either psychic or ghost that can be found in some stones or certain environments. As for deino he cares for sour berries the most along with getting his head rubbed daily and to be his teeth some care because of his need to used to like train after eating but now is before, for that I now get him to try and read the wind whenever possible thanks to his training from before he has great control of his body and moves that makes him not needed to work on them as much giving time for new practice. Creek is a little special as until he makes his final evolution I work on the most by tempering his body and making his defence stronger as his body has difficulty moving, thanks for his love of water increasing his body's strength a lot less difficult than one will think. As I trained him something weird happened that caused deino and creek to have a strange relationship as deino likes to bite and creek has one of the strongest bodies around. I will sometimes find Deino practicing on him with his moves, I let it happen as neither gets hurt and just gets stronger. As for cinder thanks to his recent growth I have him training his fire energy as his dark right now has greater control and power. He can't control his physical training as for my hypothesis that Pokémon have a physical threshold and when they hit the limit they can pass it causing them to grow larger than others of the same species. While they are getting used to it they can't overexert their strength as they may get hurt while their body gets used to the changes and increase of power. Meaning cinder can train control and moves but as this is still untested theory it will take time and research to understand, as is it only once it can happen or can there be another threshold is there a limit to a Pokémon potential can they evolve to legendary with enough strength. As I go to sleep I think about this and continue to ponder before nodding off. Few days later of travel and training I arrive at mauville city and head to gym so I can get my badge I get excited for the battle as this will be deino first official battle, as I see the sign for the gym ahead of me I open the door and get zapped and I hear ?" sorry about that I am Watson the gym leader here, I was trying to build a zapdos robot to be guard and a fun thing for the challengers to see before the battle" as I look at the old man smiling like he doesn't have a problem in the world as I decide to check his aura and see a brightness that I expected from him as I follow him to the battlefield and I see someone already there ready to be a referee for the battle. Referee "This gym battle is between Watson the gym leader of mauville vs Deacon the challenger, it is a 3 vs 3 battle and only the challenger can substitute during battle" As he signals the start of the battle both me and Watson release our Pokémon as I call out deino and I see me my opponent a magnemite as I expected an electric Pokémon from his zapdos looks surprised at my Pokémon guessing he doesn't know what it is, as I start with dragon pulse to get the game rolling as I my opponent uses sonic boom as the attack won't miss I get him to charge straight at to get closer so I can finish it off with the next attack as I deino endurs through the attack and I call for him to use firefang as he lands a direct hit on my opponents Pokémon causes him to get knocked out. Referee " Magmite is unable to battle, bring out the next Pokémon" Watson'' Your Pokémon is strong, I have never seen his species before as he took a direct attack and took little damage meaning it wasn't very effective and having strong defence as well" As he releases his 2nd Pokémon a voltorb as I let deino stay in battle as he looks very happy at continuing the battle. I call for him to start with dragon pulse as to lure him from keeping his distance as deino has great physical attack and defence, as he spots me trying to herd his Pokémon as he order his Pokémon to use rollot going straight at deino through the attack like I did earlier as he using it to increase the speed of the spins I know as he continues to use it will get stronger as I get deino to use dragon rush as they collide they are both pushed back looking haggard and hurt as I get deino to finish off voltorb, Watson orders a thunderwave causing deino to be paralyzed before it gets hit and fainting causing Watson to recall him. Referee "Magmite is unable to battle, gym leader has 1 Pokémon left and the challenger has none taken out"As I call back deino saying he battle well, Watson calls out his final Pokémon Magneton and I release creek as he is a good match up in this battle
Deacon P.O.V As Creek is raring to go I call for smackdown on magneton getting all my ground attacks to hit as my opponent knows electric attacks does no damage causing him to have to use more effective attacks as he orders his strongest flash cannon as I get creek to use Iron defence increasing his defence even more as the attack hits but when the smoke clears little damage is done thanks to his incredible defence. As I get him to use brick break Watson counters it with gyro ball deflecting the attack but causing his Pokémon to redirect and hit the ground hard as creek gets up I tell him to use earthquake causing major damage to magneton who gets up slowly to use mirror coat that does major amount of damage to creek who I get to take the damage from it and while his opponent is recovering I get him to use brick break to end the battle. Knocking him back toward the back wall and out of the battle. Referee" Magneton is unable to continue the battle is over and the challenger wins the battle" Watson walks over shakes my hand and hands me the badge Watson `` That was a great battle. You have great instincts, and have great coordination with your Pokémon allowing you 2 to trust each in the heat of battle". As I thank him I decide to leave the gym and had to make it to the Poke-centre to heal my 2 Pokémon as I reach there and hand them to nurse Joy, I decide to look at the next gym and I find the information I get a surprise as it will be a hot spring town thanks to the nearby volcano that makes me think back to my Pokémon I promised to bring to them.I head to the phone and call gramps, as I get him I see him playing in the background with a little Gary and Ditto Deacon" Hey gramps, Gary and Ditto how are you guys doing, I just beat Watson and Deino had his first battle taking out 2 of the gym leader Pokémon. I am calling because I will be near hot springs soon and you know dash's weird love for them, so I wanted you to transfer him to me for a while." As I see them look at me when I start speaking, making me think that gramps finally put that automatic answer machine on his phone he was talking about. I see Gary and Ditto who saw me run to the phone and start asking me questions while Gramps goes looking for my Pokémon. I ask Ditto Deacon "where your pranking buddy, I haven't seen him in a while" while thinking of the last Pokémon I caught in sinnoh who can't be serious for over a minute as Gary ask Gary "Deacon what Pokémon do you think I should start on my journey? Gramps wants me to use one of the starters but he says if I really want I can raise a Pokémon from an unknown egg and choose who I want on the deadline". As I ponder over this and decide Deacon'' you are starting his Pokémon camp in a couple of days right, so I think finding out what you like in Pokémon matter first then decide, but if you raise it from an egg you will have to keep it as baby Pokémon often get attached to those who hatch and raise it young and can be very hurt if they chose to abandon it for another'' as he looks at me and says he will wait as I see oak coming back with a poke-ball, then transferring it over to me. As I ask one last question Deacon " Hows my martial brother doing, I left him with with you as he is still in training"really wondering how he is doing Oak "He is doing really well he thinks he will be ready in around a month and will be a powerhouse on your team just below cinder and around the same spiritomb the same level when creek evolves. As always your Pokémon are powerful for the start of a journey and weird" Deacon "Also shin finally evolved and has become a powerhouse of speed, still playing around though trying to scare the rest" as he smiles from some nightmares that he gave to his other Pokémon and family, the only ones he doesn't mess with his me, creek and cinder. I hang up and gather my healed Pokémon and head out on my way to the next gym 3 days later As I follow the path I can feel the hot spring in the air in this mountain terrain as I get shin to fly around trying to find it, when he comes back in around half an hour telling me to follow I start to see a giant hot spring I release my Pokémon and see dash true to his name splashing around swimming in great joy with his vibrant colours. All my Pokémon besided Cinder and Spiritomb follow me into the water as they are not the greatest fans of being in water when I notice dash went further up the stream causing a commotion where I see him fighting 3 other Carvanha, I start commanding him to battle starting with aqua jet to not get teamed up on and finish one of them with ice fang. Before he gets hit by a bite and water fun from the other 2 as I call him to use brine because of the damage he took knocking out another one when the 3 gets an ice fang of his own in I see Dash looking tires and hurt before he evolves into Sharpedo, I get so excited from him and tell him to finish with ice beam causing the final carvanha knocked out and the spring to cool for an instant before gradually warm back up. As I decide to catch them and send them to oak when they wake up cause they want to follow dah for being alpha. When I go over to him and hug him while he rubs his face on me, while not caring about his rough skin Kah " Great job Dash you are a very powerful Sharpedo now" as I smile and wonder at his strength knowing he got it from all his tough battles he had before I caught him thanks to his special colouring compared to normal ones.
Deacon P.O.V I was thinking of working on some of my thoughts these next few days on how to help develop Pokémon and with the springs here will help with it.I notice that the hot springs has great properties that I think will help, as the closer we get the volcano the hotter the springs get and the better it for my Pokémon as we travel from spring to spring, for each Pokémon I plan different training and different test to see if it helps them. Starting with shin I figure that the steam above the springs must have differences compared to normal wind and air properties. As I look at it I see the steam moving in different directions by being hit by the wind. I see it can be followed. I also wonder how the actual steam affects him gliding though it makes me notice from certain moments he will lower and higher seeing that the pattern starts to form that when I see the wind swirl when I see 2 different gust hit each other he slow down a little and raises, then when one over powers the he lowers at a faster speed. So I have Shin practicing by riding the wind and trying to have him be able to predict it to get better at it to be useful in battle and maybe come up with some combinations with my other Pokémon. For Dash I their isn't as much I can do so while I work with him I notice his body is getting tougher and tougher as he stays in the hot spring making me realize why he likes them as they seem to help strengthen I tell him to work by swimming more in the spring then to try to chase after the shadows on the water produced by shin as he will help give him greater maneuverability and give him more skill in the water and again making him stronger in battle Next is creek now is training might be a lot more dangerous but he seems ready as it might be what pushes him so I start by getting him to soak in the hot spring then jumping into an ice bath produced by dash as to temper his body stronger.I then get the idea of him working on storing power inside his body as I find thanks to his strong body and his work on it, that his control over his inner energy is sorely lacking compared to my other Pokémon ad with this training may allow for him to learn more moves while also being more versatile in battle and not being stuck when facing some Pokémon. As I find myself close to evolving again I want him to get as strong as possible before that happens. Cinder is toughest to train at this point as he has great control over his physical and mental aspects of his body making him a great fighter as has great awareness of the battlefield and his strength in multi battles is the best among my plan is to help develop his attacks to be able to use them in combination. The ones I most wanted to try and power up are fire fang and dark pulse as they can go into his strengths but I decide I should let him work on it himself as it can help him to improve. I just give him some outlines and ideas that can be helpful. Spiritomb is not as tough as I haven't trained him as much as the others as I think of his strengths as I see he doesn't like to get hit by attacks and status affects, as I notice he isn't as great in control so for I want him to work on using shadow sneak and coming out to attack the target. As I work on it with him as I he needs direction as I work on choosing spots for him to phase out and phase back in to get faster and better accuracy as he practices more and more.I then tell him to alternate between that and working on strengthening his attacks damage by continuing using it and altering it to control them better. Finally for him he has grown so much since he joined me and has improved with battling proven by his gym battle along as against the trainers I have met along my journey. For his strength, thanks to Cinder, he has great control over his dark moves as well as his energy, as for his dragon moves, while I can help my knowledge is more limited as I don't know as much about raising them. For now I have him practice more control on the moves while trying to balance his energy with in I think of the best way will be to soak in the water while trying to circulate his power around his body to try and internalize it and not let it leak as it does from time to time in battle making him run out of energy when he is in control I think he will be ready to evolve as I see his physical strength has hit the need level, he just needs time as I don't want him to hit his threshold and break it before his final evolution as he may get injured and hurt his future potential from my theory that those Pokémon that have potential need stronger bodies as it can wreak havoc both mental and physically that I believe cause some who evolved to act out not having control of their body causing them to not listen to their trainers and hurting those around them. As that is why those in the wild are having much lower chances of happening compared to those trained by trainers. As I work on their moves for a few days I also work on my knowledge as I study both Pokémon that I could battle as well I want to catch and in Hoenn their is 2 that I badly want for my team and my ideas on Pokémon strength and desire.I see Pokémon as friends that you fight with and bond with that came from my understanding I gain from my abilities other then seeing feelings and connecting. I try not to use the others in normal battles with trainers and gyms as I feel it is a little unfair advantage in an honest battle as when I discovered the origin of them I stopped worrying as much as when master taught me for 6 months before giving me my gift as I passed his trial to begin my I start to test with them more and more in recent weeks I get better understanding and greater control that allows me to connect and talk more easily with my Pokémon. 1 week later After all that training I finally make it to the city of my next gym battle lavaridge town from what I heard is that the gym leader has a very powerful typhlosion telling me that the gym is a fire I decide on my team for the battle as I walk to the Pokémon centre to heal my Pokémon as they had been working hard for over 2 weeks, Cinder beside me is tired as he was working hours on end trying to make new moves with major progress as we finally make it to the building. I hand over my Pokémon as I rest in my room after a meal. next day I enter the gym leaders building and hear a girl ?" are you here to battle my grampa for a badge, I am Flannary and I am going to be the next gym leader handsome"as I see here walking up to me with a torkoal walking behind her as I smile and she blushes as I see she is a little younger than me. Deacon "Yes I came here to battle for my 5th badge, also the name is Deacon" as she looks happy Flannery "that's great my grandpa will be happy that doesn't need to hold back now like he does for newbie trainers"as I see an older gentleman walking in the background walking toward us with a smile ?" I guess you met my granddaughter, I am follow me to the battlefield" as he tells me in confidence as I follow him seeing a large battlefield with large boulders spread across the battlefield that makes me happy as its not the same plan field the other leaders had. Flannery " This a 4 vs 4 battle with Gym leader Moore and the challenger Deacon. Only the challenger can substitute Pokémon during the battle. Trainers release your Pokémon, let the battle commence" As he releases a torkoal as I release Cinder to start out as I want to test his progression since his last battle as I smile I call for cinder to start with foul play as fire is not going to do too much in this battle use iron defence as I smile expecting that I call for him to use hidden power when he got close to torkoal hard as Houndoom has an psychic hidden power as find funny from his immunity from it. As it hits torkoal it does a lot of damage thanks to the type and cinders power causing him to hit the ground and not get back up Flannery " Torkoal is unable to continue, call out your next Pokémon and the challenger may switch if he so chooses." I keep cinder in and I see Magcargo come from Mr. moore as he calls for his Pokémon to use ancient power as I tell cinder to hide behind the big boulders to dodge it as I know would cause a lot of harm to him if it hits then I tell him to use Dark pulse while running around confusing my opponents Pokémon not allowing him to get hit by any attacks. As dark pulse hits it does little damage see this causes makes sees even with all the attack power behind fire types he seems to focus on strong defence of his Pokémon making them harder to hurt with no surprises. As Cinder is surprised he gets hit by a rock slide giving a hard hit making him a little disoriented before he regains his bearings as I call for him to run and use crunch while he hits and looks to see his physical strength is not as strong as his special defence. As I get some distance between them Mr Moore calls for recovery, getting his Pokémon to look a lot healthier as I see that I need one big attack to end this or the battle will take a while to finish. I call for Cinder to use one of his newly created attacks where he combines thunder fang, flame charge and crunch by mixing the power up of flame charge and adding fire to the thunder fang that is powered up with crunch making him looking like a comet with a bright and powerful light headed straight at Magcargo and knocking him to the wall behind the gym leader and knocking him out. The problem with this move it tires cinder out and unable to fight before getting some rest" Flannery " Magcargo is unable to battle, call out your next Pokémon, and the challenger may switch if he so chooses"as I decided to recall Cinder to my side allowing him to rest a little. Mr. Moore calls out his 3rd Pokémon getting a surprise from me as it is a ninetales as I call out creek to battle as we head to start the battle once more.
Deacon P.O.V As we start the battle up again I get creek to start the attack with rock slide and to avoid the large damage Mr. moore calls for his ninetales to use substitute as that takes a lot of the damage allowing his him to only take a little damage as cost for the move to then start using solar beam while it takes the damage in his place. In quick response I call for iron defence and see how strong his training made physical defence as he takes the hit causing explosion of dust and dirt to block the view all we see is the solar beam continuing upward direction as it clears you can see creek looking fine and only some of the side of his body is damaged thanks to his training. When he was training, I taught him the benefit of deflecting and thanks to oval -like body it makes it easier thanks to his tough body and boost from iron defence. As my opponent is very surprised from the little damage is taken and in that moment I get him to use stone edge and hitting ninetales unprepared and putting on its last leg when Mr. Moore seeing this decides to use will-o-wisp to at least make the next match easier unknowing of his mistake causing creeks ability to activate shed skin taking away the burn damage as well of a little of the other taken during the battle, after he finishes the battle with a well time rock slide. Flannery "Ninetales is unable to continue, the gym leader only has one Pokémon left while challenger still has 4" As Mr. Moore calls out his favourite partner typhlosion and I keep creek in there. He starts off using rollout to attack creek making me wonder what his endgame is as it is week against him as I decide for him to use thrash trying to deal damage as he gets close as this continues I figure it out but it's too late as the continue use of that move makes it stronger and stronger and piling damage taken when I call creek to use stone edge to stop the attack when Mr. Moore tells his Pokémon while in rollout to use brick break increasing the damage it will deal by a lot before creek can respond get hit and knocked out facing defeat. Flannery "Pupitar is unable to continue, gym leader has 1 Pokémon and the challenger has 3 left, call out your Pokémon" As I recall creek and tell him he fought well against his opponent, as I call out my next Pokémon spiritomb to we prepare to start again I start him with shadow sneak as he hides in the shadows while typhlosion was trying to find him and getting more worked up as I get him to use confuse ray hitting typhlosion head expected from a gym leader trying to get his Pokémon to calm down and asks him to avoid the confrontation and use flame charge to try increase his speed in dodging any attacks, as I call for spiritomb ominous wind both dealing damage and making typhlosion more disoriented as his confusion hits in as he going at full speed hitting a boulder and destroying the impact cures him of his status effect but badly injured thanks to the accumulated damage, as I see his Pokémon tired and guessing he will try to end it with with one big attack I wait for him as he gets his Pokémon to use his strongest move Im guessing from his spirit as he calls out for inferno, I quickly ask spiritomb to use sucker punch that will hit first and hopefully stop the I see typhlosion powering his move up, spiritomb uses shadow sneak along sucker punch to come from behind and hit him into the boulders as typhlosion lets his attack out as missing causing an explosion that covers the field as it clears spiritomb is seen standing beside a fainted Pokémon. Flannery "Typhlosion is unable to battle, the match goes to the challenger Deacon" as I smile at the toughest gym battle yet wondering how I can improve in the future as I walk toward Mr. Moore is treating his Pokémon Deacon" Thank you for the great battle you had an interesting strategy that made for a difficult battle for me" As I help him bring his Pokémon to where he is going to treat them as we talk and when we reach the room and enter he hands me his heat badge "You are just like Norm said a strong trainer with a strong bond with his Pokémon, I knew who you were as soon as I saw your get up as well as your Houndoom that he told me puts others to shame"As I smile while rubbing cinders head while treating his wounds while thinking it make sense the fellow gym leader knew each other Deacon "I still don't know my exact path but I do know this league is a part of my journey, as fellow trainers we can understand that their can always be growth just not know how much growth their can be" as I thank him for use of the facilities as he tells me the best path to make it to the next gym when I leave while saying goodbye to flannery too. A couple days later I can be seen heading to the desert after getting a few supplies of goggles for me and my Pokémon as well of water just in case I can't find much and my Pokémon are too tired to make I start to cross into it I decide to let creek out as he will be in a great environment for him, allowing for him to grow, while I also want to see the old ruins I heard the rumour of during my travels. As I smile at my Pokémon and think this is going to be a while as I see nothing but sand dunes and the horizon as I laugh.
His Pokémon that are known are know about 1 Cinder (Houndoom) (on hand) 2 creek (Pupitar) (on hand) 3 Shin (Scizor) (on hand) 4 Dash (Sharpedo) (on hand) (shiny) 5 Deino (on hand) 6 Slash (Nuzleaf) (Oaks) 7 Spiritomb (on hand) 8-21 (13) alolan grimer (Oaks) 22 metang (oaks) 23 ditto (Oaks) 24 weavile (Oaks) 25 ? (mystery Pokémon that pranks with ditto) (Oaks) 26 ?( Mysterious martial brother) (training at Oaks)
Deacon P.O.V 2 weeks in desert As I am walking with my 2 buddies I wonder if we are going to find the ruins and if we should just head out of the desert to my next gym battle as we are getting tired and supplies are slowly getting lower. As I continue to look around Cinder starts to run as I along with creek chase after him trying to find out what he has found when I see him standing before an old pedestal that is in a language I have only seen once or twice in some old books as I was researching the Pokémon I was looking for since I have seen it. As I try to figure out if anything about it I decide to try and feel it's aura as some items are imbued with it either because of the important relevance of something with power or warning by someone of old, and less likeliness because of how old it is gaining it from nature. As I try to sense it I can tell it is involved with something of great life energy that I have never felt before as I see it have a faint connection that is leaving a trail that I decide to follow as I tell my Pokémon to be vigilant as I have no idea what's ahead. As I have never felt anything as powerful as that, the closest was that monster that gramps had at his lab that I saw when I was working with him. As we try and follow the trail as keep walking we have go over sand dune and sand dune until I start seeing more and more boulders until I see an small mountain range that I see the trail is following until I start seeing more and more markings the further I go in that has to be from humans. When I finally see an entrance that I can feel the trail heads into as we enter I see another plaque with the same language and from behind it originating from the wall I feel the source of it I look at the plaque I notice beneath the writing is a design that is showing circles in a rectangular shape as try to decipher it I notice some lettering that looks really close numbers as I look at it seems to be a list of instructions and I'm guessing is a puzzle.I decide to take pictures of it as I will later try to decipher the language as it might be useful in the future adventures, as I look at I notice the design looks similar to the room. I try to see in the room. I look at the ground and see slight indentations on the ground meaning they have been stepped on many times in the past. I try though the process of error stepping on all of them in different order and after a few hours while my Pokémon have already fallen asleep I finally hear a click and see an opening appear waking the 2 up as they follow me in there. Inside I see a large room and I see a large statue that I can feel the aura pulsing I put my hand on it I connect with it, I immediately realize it is a Pokémon and from what I remember it looks closest to Regirock when I can feel it suddenly awaken Regirock "regi, regirock" as I am trying to feel its intentions it is asking why I have awaken it Deacon " I just originally came here because of rumors of the ruins and though it would be cool to see them, but now that I see you and can feel your strength I was wondering if we can have a 1 on 1 battle" as I try to feel him but thanks to both just being awoken in as much as hundred of years and its power making me unable to read him and feel is aura very good but then he points to creek Deacon " Do you want to face creek" as it nods in confirmation s ask creek and he looks very excited at fighting a legendary Pokémon, making me smile As the battle between them begins I get Creek to start with using brick breaks on his joints to hopefully deal some damage. As Regirock uses hammer arm in response as they both hit each other but the difference can be seen as creek is seen being sent to the while Regirock is barely damaged as creek gets up I see and feel his spirit is burning as I call for him to use rock slide, Regirock responds by using ancient power causing creek to get hit once more getting sent flying again making him get up slowly but still with spirit as I try to get him to use dark pulse hopefully the distance will help but when the attack hit it does little damage while he responds to this attack wit rock throw dealing a direct hit again when the smoke clears I see creek glowing showing that he is evolving to Tyranitar. With his new strength even though all the damage is still there will allow for him to put up a great fight as I get him to use earthquake thanks to his evolution as Regirock finally takes damage as he get up he uses lock on then zap canon as it can now hit creek and not be unaffected as he receive it, it doesn't take much damages thanks to his training the toughness of his creek slowly gets up from all the damage he has taken in the battle makes me want to try one final attack that I hope becomes more successful as I call for him to use brick break as he gets closer before he hits Regirock uses hammer arm dealing a lot of damage to creek and knocking him out. As I walk to him to start treating his injuries I say to Regirock Deacon "thank you for the great battle you helped my friend with this battle as giving him pressure needed to evolve" as I thank him I give him some food before he goes back to sleep for who knows how long. As I notice cinder looking at me jealous that he couldn't fight a legendary as I promise the next one he could fight instead. As we head out after some rest I decide it is time to leave the desert as I did all I wanted there.
Deacon P.O.V As I leave the desert I appreciate the experience and knowledge that I gained inside it as well of gratitude to be able to face a legendary Pokémon in battle allowing for creek to evolve as I know I will have to take him to the next Poke-mart to get some tm's as he is able to learn new we finally get to a place that looks appropriate spot I set up a tent and release my Pokémon that look haggard and tired but happy to be out of that environment, the most happiest is dash as he was only able to go out once in a while at oasis that we found now that he is in a small pond next to the I take care of my Pokémon treating any injuries that had gained while in the hostile region as sandstorms and the dry heat with conserving water has taken a toll on them giving them hidden injuries, but it has also strengthen them making their bodies stronger and resilient.I can understand why many would not go into there even more so extended amount of time but I realize the importance of understanding different terrains and having your Pokémon adjust and make use of them to get stronger and grow. As for creek after his hard fought battle will need the most time to heal and get back to full health. While I decide to keep my encounter to very few people as I don't want regirock to be disturbed because of the help he gave me and creek, as I try not to get arrogant, as some trainers get from success. While I look at my Pokémon the greatest growth could be seen in creek and surprisingly shin thanks to the strong winds that get generated in the desert, he learned much greatly increasing is adaptability along with his ability to predict where the wind is coming I get plans for my Pokémon I start to prepare food and get them fed and ready to rest as we are going to begin traveling again. A few days later I arrive back at Mauville City while heading to the Poke-centre and market to heal my Pokémon after what feels like a long time since I have been to a town or city needed to get a breather as well get supplies for the journeys. I head to the mart first to get them as well hopefully a few moves for creek to help battle his weaknesses that he has to deal with, when I leave I am in surprise as I see 2 acquaintances walking toward the Poke-centre since I was going there anyways I follow and head inside while I hand my Pokémon with Nurse joy and tell cinder to follow her. I go to where I had seen them head toward the canteen and I see another person I know who notices me and calls out to me, surprising the 2 who had their back 2 me. Birch "Hello Deacon it's been awhile since I or anyone else has heard from you where have you been and how are you doing" as he smiles Deacon "Hello Birch, Scott and Wattson have been well, I have been stuck in a desert for over a few weeks as I was trying to find the mysterious ruins, while I didn't find them I found some ancient writing I have never seen before that I took pictures of wanting to try and understand what they are telling. I also was training my Pokémon making them stronger to be ready for more fights as I have my 5th badge and plan to head to fortree city to get another badge as well of find the rare Pokémon I have been looking for." Not wanting them to know about regirock while hoping they can help me translate the ancient text surprisingly it was scott who came out Scott" I know just the person who can decipher that text for you just send me the pictures and I can get back to you as soon as possible, as we are here for another reason as the weather has been acting out recently as their is a lab a few days away who specialise in weather we wanted someone to head out as they are not returning any of our calls" as I look at birch and wattson seeing there serious expression as I look outside as see the sky does look a little odd as the sky was clear when I first came inside now I see an overcast Birch " It has been acting sporadically late and been affecting the Pokémon as one can expect, I was thinking as soon as I saw you that it is on the way to fortree city that you can stop by and see if anything is wrong and if they can send anyone to see if they can fix this"as I agree as this affects many people and Pokémon Watson "Mauville would be in your debt if you help us as our city is not the biggest and not the strongest and this weather can affect the city on a whole causing many people to have losses" As I assure them I will head out the next day as my Pokémon heel and I get some much needed rest along with a nice meal, as I head to my room knowing my Pokémon need time to heal next day as I leave and assure them I will help, they tell me it can take as long as 4 days to get to the lab as I thank them and head out with cinder following me. A few days later I have gotten tires as the weather is starting change every few hours from rain to harsh sun to hail, when the sky suddenly clears in the last day making me think it is isolated around a certain area, as I release Shin to help be on look out I notice he is moving weirdly as I feel him being constrained I ask him and he tells me there's a strange magnetism in the air making it harder to moves it is pulling him in all directions, as I realize it must be due to the fact he is a steel type that only he is affected as both my other Pokémon and the wild Pokémon seem fine. Making me think this might be affecting the weird situation around Mauville city, as I note to tell the scientist when I find them. After a few hours following the path I finally see a large building that has weird contraptions on top of it as well a few castforms flying along. When I reach the door, I start to knock when after a few minutes someone finally answers who looks tired as slaking.
Sorry, content is lost, You are reading Novel on , we will fix it as soon as possible, thank you
Deacon P.O.V As I enter with the scientist after making greetings I tell him why we had come to the lab and he is surprised yet not as I expected, making me think he must have some ideas on the cause. As me and Cinder look around I notice there is fewer people than I expected in such a large lab as I have been to few in my travels over the the scientist gives me his name Nimbus that I find a little funny seeing what he is focused to research about, as I try to hide my smile we head towards an older gentleman man who is giving orders to the others Nimbus " Sir, this trainer named Deacon came here with some news about the weather that may have been caused by the incident with Tabitha"as I tell him what's happening with the weather and what I notice when I got here about the strange currents of energy in the air affecting steel types ?" Thank you for telling me this Deacon, my name is Willard I'm the head researcher of this facility, and the reason is we had to get rid of a young scientist with greater ambition in trying to control the weather of the whole hoenn region, for what purpose we didn't find out before he left. But before that he was working on a strange device that he kept secret that made any weather moves by Pokémon un effective, but now I think because of the strange magnetic field has affected them and bringing the changes to weather to other places causing the strange affect in the weather of Mauville city"as I look at him wondering what had caused Tabitha gain his strange ambitions as he seems smart to build such a contraption, I see all the other scientist looking either a little guilty as they look to be hiding something as they look at each other getting me to ask them about it after we fix this problem. Nimbus " We have been trying to get our Castforms to help us, the only problem we don't know where the device is as he took it with him and as we see he must have left it in the area for it to still have effect on us, from what you told us the strange magnetic field must be where the device is hidden" as it makes sense as a final revenge against those he thinks betrayed him Deacon " I can go look for it if I have someone to follow me, to point out things needed for it to work such as geography as well what it looks like and size of it" Willard "You can have nimbus here help as he was one of the few who actually saw the device from before, as long as you destroy it everything should go back to normal" as I am more than happy to comply with that as a device such as this should not be in the wrong hands. As we leave to look for it I come to the decision that it must be located in a high altitude as I ask Deacon "What's the closest mountain in the vicinity that can affect this region" as he looks at me thinking that could be right Nimbus " There is a small mountain north of here that's just a couple hours walk that with the right parameters can direct whatever it is that he is doing to the weather"as we walk in that direction I take out shin so he can keep us up to date on the energy in the air as the further we go the harder it is for shin to move as I see the mountain nimbus was talking about I call back shin and we treak up it with thanks to Cinder as ties off for us to use rope to speed up, when we finally reach the top I see a lot of Magmites and Magneton surrounding it as to protect it when I feel an aura of joy and happiness around them. Nimbus" How are all these Pokémon here they are steel types and should be affected like your Scizor" Deacon "But they are also electric types that get powered when near energy and I am guessing that this thing is giving out a multitude that they are feeding off of, making us have to defeat them to destroy the machine"as I call for Cinder to use flamethrower and Nimbus has his Castform to use heat blast as we try to knock them out, as they start firing thundershocks and lightning bolt at us as we continue to dodge and attack we finally have them all down giving us time to destroy the machine while Nimbus walks ahead and points to 4 stones Nimbus "Those are what's powering the machine, I don't know how he exactly got them as you need a great background as well of resources and money to acquire are respectively heat rock, smooth rock, icy rock and damp rock, it seems that he found a way to amplifier their respective abilities involving the weather and somehow projects them in the atmosphere, before we destroy the machine we have to carefully remove them as if they break great forces contained in them can explode out and change the landscape for a long time"as I decide to try and read the aura from them and can feel the elements trapped in them by I am guessing long exposure to there respective element. As we take them out and put them in a bag I call for Cinder to use dark pulse as well of flamethrower to destroy the machine, when nimbus tells me Nimbus `` The effect will not be right away and may take a few days but everything should be alright now." as I look at him and follow him down the mountain again as we make it to the base I stop and tell him Deacon "I need the truth there is more going on than just Tabitha and you know what's behind him and I won't hesitate to find out" as he looks at me in surprise as he knows there is no way out Nimbus ``there has been 2 groups trying to get us scientist to work for them, sometimes by force and sometimes by bribing us with knowledge or money as many has joined either side and the few left are thinking of moving to sinnoh as there's much to learn there, they haven't told us their names but that they plan to cover sinnoh in there own image" as I smile at this is the first I heard about them since first finding out about them, giving me clues about their goals and more information on the way they plan to do. As I thank him and tell him this is where we separate as I am heading to fortree city next and that he should send some people to mauville to make sure.
Deacon P.O.V A few days after the weather machine fiasco being resolved I finally head to Fortree city as it's been a while since I have been here and it's getting me excited as I can meet them again as well find that Pokémon as we have deal the next time we I head for the centre I need to make a few calls first to Birch as I call him and here a ring and answer and see him Birch "Great job Deacon on solving the weather incident, just yesterday it all cleared up and a guy named Nimbus came by and explained and all police officers and league officials are on the lookout for Tabitha after all the harm he caused as well of potential for more" as I think of this Deacon "Now that this happened, he is pushed into a corner leaving him no way out forcing him to continue to his ambition, but he would probably do that anyway so little harm, just wanted to give you an update, I have things to do." Before I can hang up he says Birch "Wait I have something to tell and give you, I had gotten a call from Scott as he couldn't reach you his friend looked at the ancient writing you showed us and had it translated as it was similar to another language he is quite familiar with as he sent me the translation and a key for you if you run across it again" making me really happy as it might give me clues to find the other 2 as I thank him and hang up and call gramps next as it rings I see him call on the screen as he answers Deacon "Hey gramps a lot has happened in the last few weeks sorry for not keeping in touch but I have a few things you would love to hear, wait a sec as I send you an entry in my Pokedex, Please keep this a secret"as I send him it along with the attachment I just got from looks intrigued and then excited asking for details as I tell him what happened in the last few weeks. Oak " It is great meeting such a rare Pokémon. I still remember the first Pokémon I met was a Celebi along with a couple of trainers with great bonds with their Pokémon that helped to shape my life. I am guessing you need something else as this could be sent in email" as I tell him Deacon " I want to transfer back Dash and the 3 Carvanha as I want to make sure they behave as well as train them. I will be needing room as I will soon settle the deal I told you a few years ago as I finally have news on him again" as he easily agrees as we do the transfer and I thank him and hang up after saying that is finished I go to my room and feed my Pokémon and rest to get ready for tomorrow. Next day I wake with my Pokémon and them back in there poke-balls I head of my room an am surprised to see my 2 friends talking and I am guessing waiting for me as I say Deacon " Hey Lucy and Winona, how are you 2 doing" as they turn around and spot me Lucy is smiling while Winona is smirking at her friend abnormal behaviour Winona "I had gotten word that you would be coming here soon so I had a few lookouts looking for a trainer with Houndoom as for Lucy she had come back home for a vacation from her work and when she heard you were here she had to come with me to see her " as she is interrupted with an elbow to the side by Lucy as I smile at her Lucy "It's great to see you again, Leafy has been a gem with me and she even evolved come on out" as she release her Servine who looks well trained as she sees me and jumps at me as I catch her, she first lets me pat her head before going back to Lucy and climbing on her shoulder. Deacon "She seems very well trained. A move that is great for him is leaf blade as it can have various uses in battle as it can break attacks aimed at him or be used to target weaknesses found on Pokémon" as she seems to listen to what I am saying and agree with it. Winona "Now that we got that out of the way I was thinking of having our gym battle we promised before you started our journey " as I agree and follow her along the tree trails as we head to the gym as she tells us he plans for the future Winona "As we are still using the old gym from the old leader, I am currently designing my own one as I feel I need one suited for flying Pokémon and will have a special treat for those who call out flying Pokémon as well"as Lucy agreed to be the ref for this battle when we reach it and head inside we all walk to our respective spots as the wind is coming through the open air walls that she had installed when she became leader meant for her battle style as a flying Pokémon specialist. Lucy "The battle between the Fortree gym leader Winona and challenger Deacon is about to begin, it is a 4 vs 4 battle and only the challenger can substitute during the battle. Begin" as she signals with her arm Winona " I have been waiting for this battle for a while, come on out my friend" as she releases her skarmory as her usual battle plan is in affect Deacon "I know this one Winona it won't surprise me, come and meet your old friend" As I call out Creek surprising both Lucy and Winona as they haven't seen him since he evolved as Winona last saw him as Larvitar and Lucy as a Pupitar. As he roars out as this is his first real battle since he evolved, as he looks around and sees a friend that he is about to battle I call for him to start with rock slide as she tells her Pokémon to keep dodging in the air while using spikes to litter the field with them as I direct Creek to try an maneuver his opponent towards him as when he gets close to use fire fang one of the moves he learned when he evolved as when he moves some of the spikes are crushed as he steps on them greatly surprising Winona as she sees that my Pokémon has a stronger body that she thought, as Creek fire fang hits and Skarmoury is hit and takes a lot of Winona makes up her mind and tells her to use toxic and before I can tell Creek to dodge it hits, as I see she came up with some strategy against me but I am guessing it was meant for Cinder as she has only seen me battle with him and Shin. As I know this battle has to end soon as toxic will get stronger over time dealing more damage I call for sandstorm to get rid of the spikes as well throw her Skarmoury out of sync while she is trying to fly as it is swirling around causing visibility to lower but thanks to reading the aura of the 2 Pokémon allows me to know their positions as I call for Creek to end the battle with stone edge as it hits causing it fly out of the sandstorm knocked out. Lucy "Skarmoury is unable to continue, the gym leader is down one Pokémon, call out your next Pokémon and the challenger may substitute if he so wishes"I decide to recall creek as the toxic is taking a large effect on him as I see his complexion, as the sandstorm is still going Winona asks me Winona "Why is the sandstorm still going as I thought it usually dissipates when the Pokémon leaves the battlefield" as I smile at the question and tell her Deacon " I was recently able to acquire a powerful smooth rock, that has the power to extend the move and power it up and creek has taken a liking to it so I exchanged for it allowing them to take the other 3, thanks to him always being near it has powered up his sandstorm as its power was slowly seeping into him" as they looked as shock that it was possible. As we call out our next Pokémon in the sandstorm as I have just the Pokémon ready for it.
Deacon P.O.V As I call out Shin to battle thanks to his experience in battling in sandstorms thanks to the desert as well as mock battles with the creek. Winona ``I am surprised your Scyther evolved but I guess it was inevitable, as steel types don't take damage from sandstorm, but that doesn't mean you will win as in the air it is how well you understand the wind as my Pokémon have done." seeing her underestimate me thinking that's the only reason I use Shin as I smile confusing her as she calls out her Altaria as I know it was trained to be resilient, as both of them enter the sandstorm, I call for Shin to follow the wind and use to carry him to Altaria and use Iron head, surprising again Winona by it's speed in the sandstorm As I tell her Deacon "I have trainer Shin to be able to battle in all conditions and have him training to read the wind and predict it's path, for 2 weeks while living in a desert he was training the whole time on it." as I see Winona looking at me confused and ask Winona "Reading the wind, what is that?" as I look at her realize I forgot this was a sinnoh concept when I first heard of it there Deacon "I was in sinnoh hunting for someone when I met an old man who told me the idea of how flying Pokémon are on the mercy of the wind that the elders thought of the idea of getting their Pokémon to be able feel it to ride it hopefully get faster as well of being able to predict where it will come from allowing for quicker turns during battle increasing their speed and ability to dodge." As I first see question marks but then see stars as she states Winona "This opens so much possibilities, but not right now let's get back to battle"as her Altaria was hit hard but then recovers as her trainer calls for her to use dragon pulse as Shin when I tell him to read the waves as he uses the force of the attack to speed up but as he gets closer he gets hit by it taking damage, as he closes in on his opponent and uses x-scissor and collides with her as the impacts causes the already dwindling sandstorm to break apart when the smoke clears both Pokémon are tired and hurt as Winona calls for her Pokémon to use perish song as it is used, as when she is finish she faints causing Shin to also faint from it affects. Lucy " Altaria and Scizor are unable to continue to battle, the gym leader is down to 2 and the challenger is down to 3, call out your next Pokémon"as I call out to Winona Deacon " I see you were prepared to battle me, but my next Pokémon you have never seen before" as I release Deino, which gets a smile from calls out her Pelipper to battle, as I know she trainer her Pokémon to deal with the usual weaknesses that flying Pokémon have, I call for him to start with using dragon pulse to start giving damage as I know her strategy to use roost and prolong the battle I want to end it in the next few moves so he can try against her finale Pokémon, as it the attack hits I see the training as helped letting control his energy inside him has really powered up his moves as well teach him some more. As Winona sees her Pokémon take some damage I can guess she waiting for him to take some more before healing as she calls for steel wing as he closes in I call for Deino to use outrage as he learned to control it, as they engaged in combat Winona isn't given any time to heal her Pokémon as plAnned when Deino deals the final needed hit knock out Pelipper but gets confused do to his move other than that little damage is taken thanks to his physical prowess. Lucy "Pelipper is unable to continue battle, the gym leader is down to 1 Pokémon left while the challenger has 3 left. Call out your Pokémon."As I decide to keep out Deino even though he is confused, Winona calls out her special Swellow. Before the battle starts she tells me Winona ``Your Pokémon there is quite a powerhouse I wasn't expecting Deacon now my final Pokémon needs no introduction" as we start the Pokémon battle up again, while I try to get deino to use move but thanks to its current state it fails, as our opponent uses that opportunity and calls for aerial ace and hits Deino into the ground. As he gets hit his confused state gets broken allowing me to get him to use dragon rush to hit Swellow at great speed as it responds with steel wings. As they collide both look a little hurt but still okay for battle as I want him to use bodyslam hoping to cause a status element but to my surprise it misses Swellow completely making me remember his ability lowers his accuracy of his moves. Winona takes this to use brave bird and hit Deino hard causing him to fly while it takes recoil damage, as Deino land he struggles to get up he begins to glow and evolves with his determination as I saw a while ago he was ready just needed motivation as he becomes a Zweilous, as the battle continues as Swellow is recovering from the recoil I tell him to use dark pulsed and dragon pulse to combine them allowing the battle to end giving him time to get used to his new body and adapt to it. When the attack hits an explosion in the air where we can see Swellow fall to the ground knocked out. Lucy" Swellow is unable to continue the battle, the match goes to the challenger Deacon" as I smile at Zweilous as he jumps in joy at both evolving and winning the gym battle and rushes to me and tackles me to the ground electing a laugh from the two women and jealousy from Cinder joins in as he couldn't battle. Winona "Great battle Deacon I thought I prepared enough for the battle, but guess I was wrong, here's my feather badge, and you have a strong Pokémon their but why did it miss that body slam, I was so thrown off that I didn't make full use of it" as she hand me the badge and her and Lucy help me up from the ground. Deacon "I found Zweilous when I raided a poacher hideout and after I caught all of them, he was drawn to me and me to him as I decided to catch him and he has been with me since, and he missed because of his ability that decreases accuracy and increases physical attack as that's the reason I use them less as I feel the more likely to hit the better'' as they looked please at that thinking that Pokémon can be to powerful that way. As we all head to the centre to heal our Pokémon and grab a meal to talk
Lucy P.O.V When I think back on how we all met it makes me smile. It was over 2 and 1/2 years ago when I first saw Deacon as he was walking with a man I would later find out was Professor Birch as walking with a Pokémon I have never seen before. He had a charm that seem to came from him, I was wondering what he would feel about my trusted partner that many have criticized when they seen I decided to take Winona fishing again to try and find that Feebas I want as I love his evolution as it is a beautiful Pokémon like my partner, it will also take some stress off of Winona as her challenge to become the gym leader against that Shiftry will be a challenge. As we were heading to the lake I saw that man again that time without Deacon as he was playing with some Seedot and Oddish as we find it odd we leave, not knowing at the time his reputation. As we are arriving at the lake we start fishing after a few hours we noticed some commotion in the distance in the water heading straight towards us as I saw Deacon and his Carvanha as well of a few Milotic and Gyarados being chased by some older man outnumbered with Sharpedo, Tentacruel and a larger Gyarados. When I heard Deacon "You have to get away as these are some bad people"as me and Winona look at each other and nod and say Lucy/Winona " Nope as we can't let bad people get their way" as we call out our Pokémon, me Serviper and Arbok and Winona Swellow and Alataria. As he reaches the shore his Houndoom comes out from nowhere along with an Absol from on top of a Gyarados, as he reaches for a poke-ball and a Scyther appears and they start attacking the men that were chasing him. Lucy "Arbok uses a sludge bomb and Serviper uses venoshock. " I see Winona and her Pokémon attacking as well and taking care of a few of them. As well as Deacon taking care of the one riding the large Gyarados who seems to be in command, with his Houndoom and what I thought at the time his Absol, while his Scyther was taking collars off of the water Pokémon. As I marvel at the strength of his 2 Pokémon battling the leader we slowly round them up at his assistance and tie them when one of them calls out ?" Your the Hunter aren't you, the one everyone is talking about" as he looks at Deacon and gets a nod and smile in return as he turns to us Deacon "Nice to meet you ladies, I'm Deacon also known as the poacher Hunter, as these guys are, as little Absol here warned me when we met a few hours ago." as he rubs it head as it enjoys surprising us both Lucy" Wait that Absol isn't yours yet he is close to you allowing you to touch him, they are known to be disaster Pokémon" as he smiles Deacon "Pokémon are often misunderstood. Absol here I met today and he's already a friend with me and Cinder here. I have a special connection with Pokémon as I understand them much more than other people think. Take your Serviper for example, a lot of people don't like them as they are poisonous as well as their menacing appearance, but I see her as a strong and loyal Pokémon with grace." As I smile at his opinion of my battle partner and blush a little seeing his strong conviction as Winona saw me realized she has more teasing material as she sees me as a little sister thanks to being a couple of years older. Winona " We came here to find a Feebas for my Lucy here as she's been looking for the last few weeks" as he turns to me and Deacon" You can blame these guys here they have been capturing all the babies to control the parents to make more money, give me a second" as he walks to the Milotics by the water that are still here when he comes back and tells me Deacon "As you helped to capture them, while I released all the baby Pokémon, the agreed to allow for you raise a Feebas with one of the best potential as long as you care for it" as I ask Lucy " How can you understand them, and thank you for that" as I am talking I see a Feebas come to edge of the water and allows for me to catch her with a dive ball I prepared Deacon" Lets just say it's one of my strengths, now for something important Absol would you like to be my Pokémon" as he turns to him playing with Cinder who turns in response Absol " Absol, absol, ab"as I have no idea what he is saying Deacon calls for Cinder to his side and they start to battle before Absol seems to win with energy to spare as I hear Deacon by Cinder side as Absol speaks again to him Deacon " I get it, it is to early for me but next time we meet when my journey begins we will battle again to see if it's time" as I wonder how he is doing that As he returns his Pokémon and says bye and tells us we will meet again after getting our contact info, as we continue to make him throughout the years. Back to present As I watch him and think about that I still have a few weeks of vacation and decide to ask him it Lucy "Since I have time why don't we travel together Deacon along with your journey, I think it would be fun wouldn't it" as I see him look at me surprised Deacon "I would love to Lucy, and I am going to be looking for our friend again that helped us to meat for a rematch" as I think of that Absol and thank him in my mind Lucy "When are we leaving" as I see Winona smirking at me against as she sees me eager Deacon "I was thinking tomorrow now that your traveling with me, as I was going to spend a few days with you 2"
Deacon P.O.V I was surprised at Lucy's suggestion but I was really happy about it as we all say goodnight as they go home and I head to my room, as I look at the documents sent by Birch. As I wonder who could have decipher it that quickly as I read the document and the key and it says Ahead is the ancient Rock body, one who has gone to sleep after passing the mantle to the new Rock body one. If one disturbs it, the Ancient one will wake and cause harm to those with evil intentions. When he awakes it will cause the ancient metal one in the tomb among the great trees and the ancient Ice body one in the tomb among the Islands to awake before calming down. They are protected by the puzzles of the elders. Heed this warning well. As I read and think I might have screwed up as I now have more things to deal with now as it is my responsibility as I head to bed with many thoughts going around in my head. Next day As I wake up with Cinder we leave the room and just like before there are 2 woman waiting for me as I smile and say Deacon" Good morning, Winona and Lucy it is time we head out as I have an appointment to keep" as they look at me in realization as Winona says goodbye as she has another gym battle today before whispering something in Lucy ear that causes her to blush, we head out to the place we first met. We decide to set up here for lunch as she tell me she wants to cook as I agree and I decide to feed our Pokémon as Milotic smiles me at seeing me again before jumping around in the water when I hear Lucy "What Pokémon is that you never showed me him before and I only saw it when you were in the contest" as she points to Spiritomb Deacon "He is a Spiritomb, a ghost/dark type that can be found in sinnoh, and was the first one I caught there when I decided to see the Pokémon cemetery called the Lost tower he was absorbing the energy when he noticed me and wanted me to catch him, as he liked my aura." as she looks at me and tells me Lucy " There's a huge Pokémon cemetery that makes up Mt. Pyre thats on the way to the next city we can stop by"As I see Spiritomb very excited about the idea as I agree and I spread out my aura when I feel someone watching us, as I stand up surprising everyone Deacon" Come on out I know you are out there" as a shadow jumps out and hits Cinder until they are seen playing. "How are you doing buddy are you ready for our deal again" As I see he grew stronger but compared to Cinder is roughly a fifth bigger to him compared to before, as Absol gets up and heads to the clearing followed by me and Cinder with lucy and the our Pokémon watching. As know from before that Absol is a lot faster than Cinder so that strategy would not work as he nods to us giving us the 1st shot move, and I will use it to help set him up calling for him to use nasty plot increasing his special attack as absol responds with sword dance, making this a battle that can end fast and showcasing his battle sense. I call for Cinder to use a powered flamethrower as Absol uses his night slash to charge through the attack at him while taking some damage as his attack hits, I have Cinder use fire blast at close range as a hit thanks to training. When Absol gets sent back flying when he recovers and lands on his feet while injured, I want Cinder to attack with a dark pulse while telling him it is a trap expecting an attack to use thunder fang combined with crunch. As expected I can see Absol using a sucker punch that leads him straight into the attack as they hit each other sending both back, as they are standing before Absol falls over and Cinder is happy at his win and runs to me. As Absol gets up and walks to me I use 1 of the original balls given to me by father to catch him, the Luxury he is caught I release from his ball and tend to his and Cinder wounds as they talk to each other over there experiences while Shin walks up to say hello again. Lucy "That was a great battle, I see that you improved again and"she was interrupted from a shake in the ground where Absol suddenly gets up in alert, telling me something is wrong as me and Lucy call back most of our Pokémon as I tell Absol to take us to where it is coming from as we follow him and after around an hour or 2 during which we keep feeling the ground rumble we head further in the forest I start to see things familiar and tell Absol to come back and Lucy Deacon "We have to be careful here as the last time I saw these columns and writing I faced a very powerful Pokémon that could defeat us all, and may have been my fault that this one is awakening" as I hear and see the tomb ahead of us rumble open and a Registeel comes out, as I try to reason with him but sending out my aura and feeling the same life energy from Regirock. As I tell and show him my experience with Regirock as he seems to calm down a little when I get the feeling that what he wants is to battle me as well and if I meet his requirement he will go back to rest. As Cinder is getting ready to battle I say Deacon "You can't Cinder as you Just had a tough battle and need rest, I think this is a great opportunity for Zweilous" as I release him for battle and tell him not to worry about winning or losing as this battle will allow for him to get used to his new power and body as I smile.
Pokémon list again this list is on battle strength not counting type advantage 1 Cinder (Houndoom) (on hand) 1 creek (Tyranitar ) (on hand) 2 Absol (On hand) 3 Spiritomb (on hand) 5 Shin (Scizor) (on hand) 5 Zweilous (on hand) 7 weavile (Oaks) 8 metang (oaks) 9 Dash (Sharpedo) (oaks) (shiny) 10 Slash (Nuzleaf) (Oaks) 10 ditto (Oaks) 12-25 (13) alolan grimer (Oaks) unknown ? (mystery Pokémon that pranks with ditto) (Oaks) unknown?( Mysterious martial brother) (training at Oaks) so some of them are on the same level thanks to how they are at a similar power strength. The reason Scizor is lower is his strength thanks to his battle experience and strengths are due to his setting himself up. dash because of hit limits being stuck in the for the unknown Pokémon it makes sense as you know little about them even if one can be strong. This does not mean that in battle they are for sure to win against those lower.
Deacon P.O.V As Zweilous gets ready to battle, you can see the pressure he is feeling against Registeel as I call for hit to use dragon rush to to bombard Registeel with attacks, as he separates you can see Registeel taken no to little damage as you see it's incredible Registeel uses metal claw but when it hits doesn't deal as much damage as expected, as I try for Zweilous to use one of his strongest moves combining dragon pulse and dark pulse to hit hopefully deal some damage as it hits and explosion occurs and when it is revealed Registeel can be seen with some damage and preparing a move as he lets out a zap cannon that hits Zweilous dead on knocking in the he slowly gets back up I see he can't use any more of his combo moves as I call for him to try and use outrage, when he hit Registeel multiple times who then counters with hammer arm and knocking out my Pokémon as I thank him. As I see Registeel having used many powerful attacks that may have drained him more than the attacks he has taken walk slowly back to his resting place, as I sense him one last time telling me it was a good fight, worth the little I look at Lucy and see astonishment on her face as well of jealousy again on Cinders face as he has to pass another battle against a Legendary Pokémon as I look for the plaque as it has to be outside when I spot it behind a bush I am guessing grew there over the years as I take a picture and send to both Scott, Birch and gramps as I feel the need to show them as thanks for the help. Lucy" What was that, I heard of Registeel but never knew there was one within a day's walk from my home" as I smiled and decided to tell her about the desert adventure as well as the plaque and how it was my fault it had awoken. As well of my reasoning behind keeping it a secret, as well of my worry for the 3rd Pokémon cause if I don't find it fast enough it will be seen by others never letting it rest. Lucy in response walks up to Creek and rub his head and tells Lucy "That's amazing, and great Job Creek on fighting such a strong Poké looks like your adventure is as amazing as I thought it would be"as I smile seeing her staying the same, since we are here still and I now have 3 Pokémon that need to rest and heal I ask if we should set up camp here to I here agreement from everyone. As I am bandaging and feeding my Pokémon whole Lucy cooks again as we got interrupted during lunch causing me to be we eat I admire at her ability to cook, while thinking I hear lucy ask me Lucy" I was thinking of adding another Pokémon to my team as with me I only have 3 while the rest are at my work home in kanto, any thoughts as you know most of my team" as I get in thought and say Deacon "The problem that comes that your team is missing a few to make it more rounded, what I suggest for you is any between fire, rock or ground but find a Pokémon that speaks to you, as you train it care for it and will be your friend" as she looks at me and smiles while blushing Lucy "I will look towards it, and not rush as you right. It is an intimate decision, as I know of a few who are spread out and can find themselve troubled because of it" as I smile and tell her goodnight. Next morning As I wake up I see that Lucy is still asleep but my Pokémon are up as I see they are all okay now after a night of rest as the injuries are not too bad from the day before. As I look at Absol and ask him why he is so close with Cinder all the time when he tells me that he is the big brother there even if he is a little weaker making me laugh but agree as it does make sense. As I look at Spiritomb Deacon " I got some news that you would like is that by tomorrow we will reach another cemetery that you can feed off of the ghost energy their" as he looks very excited and before I can say anything else I see him enter Lucy's tent and wake her up when I hear shout and walk out of her tent tired with bed head Lucy "What's got Spiritomb so worked up" as I explain to her what happened as it elicits laughter from her as she says to give her sometime and we can leave as I comply and point to my hair as she sees the signal run off into the forest and I smile. As we head I start thinking on what Pokémon suit Lucy and keep coming up blank Next day As we cross the bridge to head onto as Lucy started telling me about it as she had traveled here once when she was really young and doesn't remember much about it, she has heard much about thanks to it being closer to her is that the cemetery was actually built because of the great amount of ghost Pokémon located there and it was built to keep them there and not wander off to other towns. As I feel that is the opposite of other regions that the cemeteries were there first and attracted the ghost Pokémon. Then she tells me a whammy: the rumour at the top is 2 treasures that are safeguarded and is why it is closed off from the public as she thinks might be related to legendary Pokémon. That gives me some ideas as well as answers that I think I need.
Lucy P.O.V As we reach Mt. Pyre I was worrying about some of the legends I haven't mentioned to Deacon cause if I had he would want to stay for a while, but hey I told him the most important legends so he doesn't break any of the rules. I don't want to be chased again like when I was a kid by all the ghost Pokémon because the leaders of the mountain are at the very least as strong as a champion level trained Pokémon. If it was for the old couple and my partner I would have been gone, it wasn't my fault no one told me not to touch those orbs, that's why I can't be around those 2 anymore. As we walk I see Deacon release his Spiritomb that I have never seen as animated as now running around while chasing different Pokémon as I am guessing Deacon noticed my confusion explains how Deacon" Spiritomb is a ghost Pokémon made up of energy, I usually feed it energy stored in dusk stones while I get Prof Oak to fill them up back home while I alternate them when they empty, but that doesn't compete with fresh ghost energy, and Pokémon that live in places with such rich energy gets it seeped in their bodies and if not a ghost type can be harmful so I always give him permission to ingest it to help them while feeding" as he smiles Lucy "I guess that makes sense by why would Pokémon stay here if it can be harmful to them" as it is perplexing to me Deacon " There is 2 reason that I have found to be the most common, the 1st is self- preservation as weaker Pokémon can stay here to stay safe from the larger Pokémon that are easier affected by the energy and the 2nd is if a parent is buried here and they don't want to leave their side, as I think those are the saddest cases but if given a chance can be helped" When I start to think of that it makes me even sadder when I think of it as I look around and I can see a few that enter both categories when I notice Deacon looking ahead and think he must of felt something as he never really explained his abilities to me as much as Anebel has, and from what she told me his are an entirely different set of skills. Before I notice he starts to run off as I follow him we head towards a big tombstone and I notice a small Pokémon breathing heavily on the grass near it, as Deacon Deacon "Spiritomb come here and cleanse his body, when you're done I have to feed him this berry" after spiritomb is done he tries to feed him but it doesn't work as he tells me that the Pokémon has given up as I said for me to try as he hands me the oran berry Lucy "Hey little guy, you need to survive for those that you have lost as only you can be there to remember them, not allowing them to be forgotten" as the vulpix turns his head towards me and looks at me before going for the berry, as I carry him and start to feel him stirring more Deacon "Good job, as Vulpix and it's evolution are somewhat tide to mystic energy causing them to draw in more ghost energy than normal Pokémon I am quite surprised he has lasted as long as he has but if he stays here he will perish" as I look at the Pokémon in my arms and come to a decision Lucy "Do you want to come with me as my Pokémon, we can be your family" as he looks at me, the tombstone and then Deacon who nods at him before he accepts me as I pull out a poke-ball to catch him, as I ask Deacon if he would be protected in the poke-ball Deacon "From my observations I can say it isn't 100 percent better but it is better than outside and I think we should leave now thanks to all the energy Spirtomb took from him he cant take anymore without side effects" as he smile at we head back down at the mountain but at the foot of the bridge I see 2 figures that I recognise as they run towards us, particularly Deacon as I get annoyed by there looks at them when he greets them Deacon "Hello Grace and Abby, how are you 2 doing, why are you traveling together and how many ribbons now" as they smile at him Grace "We are doing fine, we started to travel together just after we met as we bring out the best of each other thanks to competition. As I am older I am somewhat of a guide to Abby here on the best ways to travel. I have 4 ribbon and abby has 3"as I look at her as if challenging her Abby "How many times must I say I can speak for myself, and who is this with you Deacon, but it doesn't really matter as I want to challenge you to a contest again in Lilycove city" As I get angry and Deacon knowing me realize to stay out of it Lucy "I am Lucy I have been traveling with Deacon for a while and why should he be on your whims like that. I will be in the contest instead and the loser has to do what the winner says" as she looks at me in contempt Abby "Why would I want that from you now if it was Deacon I would say yes" as she is looking at him blushing as I get angry Grace "I can get in on this, I would like Deacon to do something for me" as I glare at her too when Deacon chimes in Deacon "If I am going to be put on the line then I am going to join to, to protect my interest" as I smile thinking this a chance for me when he then asks Deacon" What are you 2 doing here anyway" as I am a little curious too, as this isn't the most popular place to travel to without a reason Grace "Me and Abby came here looking for 2 Pokémon as when you beat me I realized how dumb I was with how I was acting. I am looking for a Duskull and Abby a Shuppet to round our contest potential" as I shudder at the 2 Pokémon, getting a reaction from the 3. "Anyway the contest is in 3 days and will take a day and half to reach there."As Deacon says goodbye well we leave as we get out of earshot he asked me what happened and I reply Lucy "I just don't like Pokémon from those 2 evolution lines thanks to a past incident" as he shrugs and doesn't ask furthur, another thing I like about him he respects when not to push
Deacon P.O.V Thanks to those 2 Lucy has been a little moody and from what I can feel nervous that I can't really get why on the 2nd emotion as I ask her Deacon "I think we should set up camp here as we can reach the city tomorrow and practice for the first round as I think that is what will give us the most issues, as I am going to use Cinder as sorry for not being able to battle Registeel, what about you" as she turns around Lucy "This place is good and it is close to dark, as for the contest I was thinking Milotic as she has always been interested a little and my other Pokémon wouldn't be ready in such short time is that right'' as she took out her Pokémon Seviper, Servine and Vulpix as comes to pick him up and place him on her shoulder and I nod to that. As we do the usual routine while I see Serviper taking care of Vulpix I smile for them as she has been a mother figure to all of Lucy's Pokémon making me remember of what I have in my bag Deacon "Hey Lucy I have something for you, that you might like, but I caution not to use until you have been together for a while and have great trust in each other" as I hand her a fire stone, getting a smile as she accepts it reluctantly. As I think about it, I only have the dusk stones now, as I have given all the other ones away. After eating we fall asleep under the stars as it is a nice night. Next day after arriving at the city As we are walking to the Poke-centre I ask Lucy Deacon " I know what you guys get if you win but what do I get if I win, it doesn't seem fair if I don't get anything" as she looks at me and blushes as I think how cute she looks like that Lucy "If you win you can ask me for anything but my Pokémon, sounds good" Deacon "Sounds great, that's fair" as we smile at each other and I can see a smile on Cinders face as well, when I notice I got an email from dad telling me to call him as we reach the centre I give my Pokémon to nurse Joy and walk to the phone ring him and he answers Avary " Hey son how are you doing, I got great news I finally found her after all this time" as I was thinking Deacon "You mean Hunter J" where he shakes his head Avary "No, I found Sarah, she had become an Official nurse Joy in Kanto at a small centre"as I smiled at his happiness as he had been searching for her for years worried that she was one of those dead from the attack he found me in. Deacon "Have you talked to her, since you found her" as he looks at me shakes his head Avary " Can't do my actions are still monitored and I don't want to hurt what she has worked for, as well of how I hurt her both before I left and how I left" as he hasn't told me that reason yet or how he knew Hunter J Deacon "I understand that it's one of your secrets, has there been any news on Hunter J yet" as he smiles and just said there's been rumours with no confirmation as we say goodbye and hang up. as I head to the canteen and see Lucy eating as I join her as she ordered for me and Cinder Deacon "Are you ready for tomorrow" as I see her a little nervous Lucy "Yeah, it's just I don't want those 2 to win more than I want to win" as I tell her Deacon "Don't worry there's still me and you, I don't think we will lose that badly as we aren't pushed over now" as she smiles at that, as we decide to turn in early to be well rested tomorrow. The next day at the start of the contest As we are at the arena we see Abby and Grace I head off to say hello while Lucy who is still a little nervous or she says as I read her aura thats blazing brightly with a little hit of darkness Deacon "Did you 2 catch the Pokémon you were after" as I see Grace smiling while Abby looking a little gloom Grace "I caught what I was looking for but Abby couldn't but she did get something else, why don't you show him" as Abby releases her Pokémon as a Xactu appears greatly surprising me as it is smallest I have seen before hiding behind Abby Abby "I caught this little guy, I was very excited, until we reached the city and whenever there's more than a few people he gets really nervous" as I see him want to be back in his poke-ball, Deacon "These problems are not that rare, as there are a couple of reasons that can happen either because of his small size he was bullied or he was abandoned by a trainer, as long as you care for him and show him trust, he will get better and eventually ready for the contest."as she first frowns but then smiles at the we hear the announcer intro Vivian"I'm the master of ceremonies Vivian Meridian. The appeals are awarded points by a panel of judges, Mr. Contesta from the organizing committee, Mr. Sukizo from the Pokémon Fan Club, and Nurse Joy from the Lilycove Pokémon centre. The Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round. Now let's start off with our first contestant."As I am the 1st contestant I walk to the stage and hear Vivian "Here is Deacon, we haven't seen him in a while but as his from his great past performance we can expect great things from him" as I head reach the head to the middle of the stage Deacon "Come on out my Partner"as Cinder comes from out of nowhere using a flame wheel while doing circles around me at a fast speed causing a small flame tornado to form around me. As I call for him to use will-o-wisp having balls of flames in the air above it, as I call for him to use dark pulse and hidden power while using flame wheel that causes all of the moves meld together around me into a mixtures of flames with the colour of rainbow before he breaks it with an overheat causing it to burst in a rainbow mist with Cinder in the centre of it looking majestic. The three judges in order " Remarkable, the idea of using its control of its element and incorporating him together makes him stand out with its dark body within the bright colours, the trust between trainer and Pokémon as he stands in the middle of all that strength that has me appreciate the beauty of such a close bond" As I smile and head of stage to the back
Deacon P.O.V The next few performers go up when I hear Lucy's name called as she walks to stage and I am surprised to see her not in her usual clothes but in a nice blue and white dress, as I smile when she releases her Milotic in the middle of the stage. Lucy starts off with Milotic using Safeguard, then continuing with aqua ring causing rings of water revolving around the shining Pokémon while then using ice beam to hit the ground having the reflection mirroring the scene above it while finishing it off with disarming voice having the crowd cheer at the beauty coming from Milotic. The three judges in order " Remarkable, the use of moves to enhance Milotic's natural grace and charm is a smart move , using different moves to hit the different sense makes this performance stand out" as she smiling and recalls her Pokémon and walks to me and asks Lucy "How was I, was it too simple or ordinary to pass. I am sure I could have done better" as I hug her to calm her down Deacon "You did great I am sure you passed" as she pulls back while her whole head is the performances continue as Grace comes out and I am surprised when she uses her Pokémon she just caught when Lucy starts to shutter a little As she uses her Duskull to start with shadow sneak, while still in their she calls for her Pokémon to use confuse ray and Will-o-wisp causing a strange reaction as the shadow he is hiding becomes a rainbow colour and the balls of flame to be beautiful blue while pulse back and forth when he is coming out of the shadow instead of being the usual colour, it being a rainbow surrounding it making him glow while finishing it off with a double team then curse as all the copy's have spike appear and impale their head causing the original one to appear back to normal in the middle of the stage causing an applause. The three judges in order " Remarkable,original idea of having a rainbow shadow as I have never seen such a thing before, a new use of moves that may create a new path to contest" as she walks towards me and I ask Deacon "Risky using a brand new Pokémon in a contest, and should I be happy or mad at the use of shadow sneak like I used against you the last time we met" as she only smirks at me before walking past me and Lucy getting a small growl from her and Cinder, surprising for the final contestants is Abby as she steps onto the stage and calls for her Pokémon. As her Pokémon appears it was Jigglypuff, as she starts it off by calling for ice punch and fire punch hitting the ground while having a wall of ice form around it with the flame punch controlling it allowing the ice to not over run the battlefield while finishing it calling for another ice punch allowing the Pokémon to be seen enclosed in ice. When Abby calls for him to use dazzling gleam causing the structure to glow originating from the Pokémon as she calls to end it with sing, scaring the crowded afraid to fall asleep thanks to the move, but surprisingly no one falls to sleep as we hear a song coming from everyone cheers and we here The three judges in order " Remarkable, to use it's own moves to be able to form a venue where you can appreciate its signature move, it's great not limiting a Pokémon to all the standards that it is known for as it shows a more rounded appearance" I see Abby smiling and hugging her Pokémon while walking backstage Vivian "The first rounds have concluded as the judges calculate who will calculate who makes it to the next stage, stay tuned" As we are back stage and discussing how are performances went I look at the others and the only one that really stands out is Robert with his baltoy who has to make one the top performances as we finally here the ring that the top 8 have been decided Vivian "I will not tell the order in which the 2nd round will start. Grace vs Robert, Abby vs miles in the 1st block then Lucy vs Casey and Deacon vs Merv '' as I sweat a little realising I just barely made it but a win's a win. In a huge surprise in the first match Grace lost against Robert with his baltoy as he was in command the whole time by keeping his opponent off tempo the whole battle by starting with gravity and alternatively changing it not allowing her Duskull to move around properly and using imprison shutting off shadow sneak and her main way to dodge, as he ends the battle with psychic causing massive damage. As Grace recalls her Pokémon thanking for a great battle and shaking hands with her opponent as she walks of stage Deacon "You did pretty good with a new Pokémon but next time wait until you understand more of his moves and train it to be ready before you enter a contest with him" as I see her smile weakley and head to Abby I am guessing to say not to lose to him as I smile. Next it was Abby against an Ninjask as I think it was a large hurdle for her to win, but to my surprise she battled completely different to when I first saw her, as she started with sing as she puts her opponent to sleep and finishing it with blizzard, have her opponent blocked in ice, as she smiles and shake his hand and they laugh making me realize this wasn't their first meeting as I walk to her behind stage and ask Deacon "Nice battle, a little ruthless"she smiles and tells me Abby "The reasoning is I lost to him in another not knowing of his ability to speed up during battle as I was powering my Pokémon up it was too late by the time I couldn't land a hit and he toyed with me as I wanted revenge" as she walks away. Lucy's battle was an easy one as her opponent was using an Torkoal, all it took was a few well timed hydro pumps and an aqua tail when he was trying to get a solar beam off, the same case for me as my opponent thought it was easy as he was using an Ludicolo but I ended it in 2 moves starting with the combo crunch and thunder fang and then a foul play while he was trying to hit with water pulse but missing every shot. As me and Lucy high five backstage at our victories as we wait for the announcement for the semi finals as it is Robert vs Abby and Me vs Lucy as we smile at each other as it's been a while since we battled each other.
Deacon P.O.V As the Semi's start we see Abby and Robert head to the battlefield, as I see them call out their respective Pokémon as I wondered how they match up against each other as this is a contest battle with a 5 minute limit. They start the battle and like the earlier battle Robert calls for gravity but being ready for it Abby calls for disable making him not able to use his normal strategy causing him to freeze up and in that time allows for to attack with ice beam causing massive he Baltoy recovers his trainer calls for Imprison stopping ice beam, while smart doesn't limit Jigglypuff As he uses ice punch to him to the ground then finishes it with fire punch ending the they walk off it is my battle against Lucy next Vivian "the 2nd battle from the semi's is between Lucy and Deacon, from I heard the 2 are really good friends that will result in a great battle between the 2" as we head to the battlefield Deacon "So you want a repeat of our last battle were I won quite easily if I remember" as she responds Lucy "I know the strength of you Pokémon well especially your Cinder, the last time we fought it was with Serviper, but even if you don't want to agree the type advantage here is enough to bridge the gap thanks to my training"as she smiles and we call out our Pokémon As the battle begins Lucy starts to hit the ground surrounding them as I was thinking it won't hinder Cinders movements. I see the reason as she trained her Pokémon to move faster on the ice when there is no water. I guess she learned from me on how to effectively use the terrain or to change it to work for them. As I call for Cinder to use beat up into thunder fang when she calls for her Pokémon to use recover and to hit her opponent away with aqua tail propelling cinder into a barrage of blocks of they continue to take each other's hits and with water attacks dealing a lot of damage towards him causes him to slowly get more hurt and tired while she can use recover by the time the buzzer sounds, Lucy wins thanks to unanimous decision as I look to Cinder and see him Lucy recalls her Pokémon and we shake hands with her blushing at her victory. As there is a little time between the final round it gives Milotic time to recover as even with those moves it was still accumulating damage, and needs rest. as I ask her Deacon "What's the plan in dealing with sing, as I think that is her best advantage is against you, as she saw you battle against me" as she smiles and tells me Lucy "I have no worries for this battle as long as she wakes before the end as from her moves it shows she specialized in her ice type attacks that happens with many normal Pokémon find themselves to spread don't forget what I specialise in as a trainer" as she smirks, while I think how can I forget as the stage is lighting up again calling for contestants When they are on the field and call their Pokémon out and start as expected Abby calls for sing and Lucy does nothing as hits and Milotic is put to sleep, when Jigglypuff start to use different attacks on the sleeping Pokémon that does little effect thanks to the water typing when she finally awakes after a double edge. When Lucy sees this she calls for recovery into an aqua tail and hits her opponent into the air while looking like she is juggling Jigglypuff. When Abby calls for an ice beam to get out of her opponent's rhythm, then she calls for help, allowing to be hit by more attacks while trying to build power. When she unleashes it hitting Milotic you can see it some affect but as you guess Lucy uses recover and end the battle using hydro pump smashing Jigglypuff into the wall. Vivian ``After the great battle we have the winner Lucy" as she hands her the ribbon and I can see a large smile on her faces as she shakes hands with the she walks off stage towards me and tells me that later when are alone she will tell me her wish. We head back to the centre to heal any damage that our Pokémon has accumulated over the rounds, when I get to my room I shower and change before heading and knocking on Lucy's as she can tell me what she wants now as she opens the door after what I am guessing taking a shower as she is wearing a robe and follow on her hair, when see's me and blushes before letting me in Deacon "Feeling better"asking because she was nervous before and for the fact I always feel better after a shower Lucy "Yeah, now the pressure is off, and I don't have to worry about those hussies anymore"causing me to worry as she is acting out of character from normal. As she heads to the bathroom to get changed, and comes out to my surprise in the dress she was wearing in the contest Deacon "I was meaning to ask where you got because looking at the quality it looks like it took time to make and wouldn't have made it in time since we agreed to participate in the contest" Lucy "The original purpose is somewhat connected to what I am going to ask from you, so here I go" as I see her try to pump herself up to tell me what she wants, when she finally gets the courage Lucy "I like you Deacon, and I mean in a romantic way, so my request for you is a date tonight and we leave right now"as I smile at her and think how cute she is right now and answer her Deacon "Of course milady, anything you desire, as I have liked you for quite sometime and I have been waiting for you to be prepared" as she smiles as she takes my hand and I let her guide us as she has a plan for the she takes us to the museum but to her disappointment the 2nd floor is closed off. We still had fun, we then head off for the large department store and I carry everything she buys while it gets dark, we head to the restaurant on the top floor where she made we eat and she wants to head back I tell her to follow me as I take her to the lighthouse for the harbour and tell her a story Deacon "Lighthouses have many stories about them, going back in time a little wives of those at sea would go out on top and look at the horizons while waiting for their beloveds to come back and the source of comfort would be the light on the tower. It being a beacon for their loved ones to know how to come back that we have phones, it has become mute, but I always loved these stories, I had a great time today and I have something for you"As I hand her a small seviper plush and a pendant in the shape of a heart. As I put it on her and in the moment she kisses me before pulling away embarrassed as I just smile and we walk back to our rooms and before she closes the door I kiss her.
Deacon P.O.V The next day we head toward Mossdeep city as it will take a couple of days by ferry and we have to share a room with 2 we are traveling we become more and define our relationship better while we discuss what's going to happen with her job and my travels. Deacon "Are you still not going to tell me about your and Anne jobs are you, I tried looking intoScott but little that could include you could be found"as I look at her Lucy "I promised to keep it a secret and the reason I have this vacation as more will be revealed in around a week a couple of days after my vacation finishes and all the construction is done, but I promise you will like it and that it can help you in the future." as I smile and decide to trust her Deacon "So I guess the plan is after we reach mossdeep, I will challenge the gym leader. You told me when you went through you hoenn league you were actually one of their 1st challengers right"as I look at her and she looks like she wants to hide something Lucy "Yeah, while you were in sinnoh I went through the gyms and lost in the semi at the now elite 4 Sidney, who specialises in your specialty dark went on to win and challenge the elite 4 and lost to drake before taking over a members spot"as I smile as I remember watching that match on tv as my friend was bugging me about him. Deacon "Yeah, he does look tough, when I saw him battle he seemed to focus on power and couldn't take the hits, another issue is the lacking speed of his Pokémon if doesn't want to have any defence. Im guessing against you it was 6 vs 6 and you only had your 4 powerhouses and lost do to him having a full powered 6 am I right"as I see her embarrassed as she does have great ability but seems to only able to concentrate on those that she chooses, part of the reason I wanted to get the Snivy in the first place making me get Anabel as she would get jealous if I didn't. Lucy "I know my Pokémon got tired out the 2 we part of my alternate team, that I use when facing new trainers, hopefully Vulpix can get stronger and be a member of my main team" as I smile at her again. Deacon "I was thinking we should translate the plaque we got from the Registeel tomb, want to help" as she agrees as we head to my room for some what seems like a few hours we have what we believe is a full translation and I wonder if I am lucky or unlucky as it reads Here Lies the steel body one, it will awaken if one interrupts the rock body one first as they are linked by life energy found in the to the guardian, it was put to sleep and allowed to passed the mantle on towards the next generation as a protection of world against those that threaten order was passed to us through the elders from source of the guardian and his partner. He who friends the trio and vanquished the evil one who tried to control them, must be remembered as a hero who saved us. As we read this I wonder who this man was and if he was an aura champion with his Lucario as I heard of from the legends and my teacher. I look at Lucy who seems to have more questions not understanding I explain Deacon "I am guessing you are having questions, tell me what you want to know and I can tell what I know" as she looks at me and starts Lucy "First, what is Life energy, how can they be connected to the ground? Any idea on the guardian and I thought that there is only one legendary Pokémon."as I nod at her questions Deacon "Okay I will start with Life energy, so I told you about ghost energy right, while in my opinion there are many types of them that lead to connecting with Pokémon. You know a little of my abilities correct, while I was in sinnoh I found someone who could help and he trained me for out it comes from my attunement to aura that I seem to be born with thanks to my abundance, not everyone with aura will be the same as mine seems to allow me to connect with Pokémon and allows me to read there aura along with people as I can feel them but not as strong"as she blushes and gets really embarrassed at the implications to which I nod "It also allows me to spread my emotions allowing me to in a way broadcast it to others so they can feel it, it allows me to calm Pokémon down if need be or to understand them. That is how like Annabelle I don't have to command them with my voice, I can spread my intentions or can feel my Pokémon's attention. When I lose control of my anger I can in some cases cause other to faint with my is thanks to this I first found Regirock as I can feel the life energy from it that all Pokémon have but from what I can tell legendaries have a far greater amount, that seems to connect the Regi's together"as she asks Lucy "I can understand as Anebel told me some but she didn't know much, and it kind of makes sense that they always are stated together" as I smile Deacon "As for the guardian my idea is that he is an Aura guardian that controls aura to help protect Pokémon. Like the person who trained me and my martial brothers, as I can be counted as one in used to be many in the past but now fewer and fewer can be seen, I only know of master elder martial brother riel and younger martial brother that I have training at oak's that I had caught at his insistence" causing more questions I can feel Lucy "Ignoring the last part, what about the partner then" Deacon "Most guardians have a partner, one that can connect with aura, as their is 2 different evolution lines that can control it, one being Lucario's and the 2nd being my martial brother" Deacon "The final part of legendary Pokémon, this is all my theory I believe that their can be multiple of some types that are not connected to a cosmic their is different legends in different regions as well of the fact despite their status they still age and after a time will pass and have different ways of giving their powers, ever by there children take their place. In other cases that I think the Regi's do it they pass the majority of the power to a vessel that becomes the next generation. As they are older they are much stronger, but thanks to that they need to rest and be in hibernation." as she digest my theory as has to agree it makes sense do to the fact of sightings in multiple regions Lucy "I guess you could be right as you have had time to look at it, I just keep wondering how do you keep thinking of these things" Deacon "while I don't know what I to do, I have had a passion for research and my focus has been on limits on Pokémon, and have had some of my thoughts go into legendary Poké you seen my Cinder, if you compare him to others of his species you can see the differences."As Cinder looks up smug and rub his head that's on my lap A few days they finally reach Mossdeep City as we depart I look around and see the space centre and realize that Lucy only has 2 more days before she has to go back, as we agree that it should just be us who know of our relationship for now as we get ready for the night and the gym battle tomorrow.
Deacon P.O.V When we woke up, me and Lucy went to breakfast while we fed our Pokémon after taking them from nurse we are talking, you can feel some tension in the air as we both know tomorrow Lucy has to go back and I promised I would watch the news the following we are done I follow her to the gym when we enter I hear ? "I remember you, you were the first trainer that beat us in the gym. Since you are here you must be here for me right" ?" Come on Tate, it's obvious she is here with the gentleman beside her, who must be a challenger and I can say she very lucky" as they look at each other Tate" Hey I am better than that guy right" as I start to get mad and have my aura surround them causing them to shiver and Lucy to smile as she realizes what I am doing Deacon "You know we can hear you right, and I don't appreciate you talkin about my girl like that in front of me" as they look at each other and nod while I can feel some pressure coming from my side as I look at Cinder and see him looking at them a little protective. Lucy '' Lets stop all of this, and start the gym battle okay" as I know she will know what's coming from me as it has happened to her once, as we walk to the battlefield but they tell Lucy to take the stairs as their battlefield is special. I agree when I see it as there are planets floating around and they tell me the whole room counts as it. As I smile at them and say Deacon "I think I will win this battle quite easily as I am still a little pissed" as I elect glares from the 2 of them as they release there Pokémon a Solrock and Lunatone when the ref states Referee " The battle between Mossdeep gym leader Liz and Tate and the challenger Deacon. It is a tag battle and the challenger is allowed only 2 Pokémon, meaning no substitution"as I listen and can be expected as they are twins and from Lucy's hints earlier. I call out for my 2 Pokémon, Zweilous and Absol as they are surprised as my first Pokémon they have never seen and my 2nd is a rare Pokémon that is hard to see, not that they haven't been challenged by one before as they lost horribly. As we start the battle I call for Absol to use sword dance and Zweilous to use work up, causing both Pokémon have to power up their moves they see my plan and try to disrupt as they call for Lunatone to use psychic on Zweilous not realising he is immune and Solrock using earthquake as I tell my Pokémon to jump on planets to avoid it. Deacon "Thanks for giving me the best place to avoid your move"as they grimace at my idea as I call for both my Pokémon to use a dark pulse on them respectively hitting them to the ground as I tell my Pokémon to jump from planet to planet. Avoiding moves that target them, as my opponents know half their strategy my Pokémon is immune to,as they call for both their Pokémon to use rock slides in sync and thanks to the large size of the attack makes it very hard to dodge causing them to get hit. When they recover I decide to end this with Absol using dark slash and Zweilous to use outrage hurting both Pokémon and hitting them to the ground , knocked out in sync. Referee "The gym leaders Pokémon are unable to continue the challenger wins the gym battle" as the twins look a little sad as I walk up to them to shake their hand, and tell them Deacon "That was a good battle it might not look like it, I am a very strong trainer and with the type advantage you have very little chance of winning. I might have started late on my journey but I have a lot of experience in my hunting" as they looking at me a little scared at that as Lucy comes down Lucy "Don't let them misunderstand, he means hunting poachers, besides Hoenn, he has quite a reputation as a poacher hunter in Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh as he has been doing it since he was 8, meaning he has been doing it for over 7 years. And you two have gotten more in sync since we last battled'' as they look at each other and say Tate" When we have a challenger that bugs us we seem to be able to sync are moves together better along with not fighting" as I smile at that thinking of the benefits of mutual we thank them and head out back to the centre as my Pokémon need some healing from the battle when we reach it and head inside I hear someone calling me Steven "Deacon I have been looking for you as I knew you would be here, as this city is where my home is I have been waiting for a week, knowing your strength" as he then notices who is beside me "I didn't know you knew Lucy" As I am quite surprised that they knew each other Deacon"While she is my girlfriend as of a few days ago, and I was friends long before that" as he looks at her for confirmation Steven "Does he know of your job and the project" as I look at him and with his status makes sense that he knew it Lucy "No I promised that I would keep it secret as Scott wants him to compete" as it gets me a little more confused Steven "Anyway, Sidney will be a little upset at the news when I tell him. First is I have news is that in 2 weeks I will be challenging to be the new Hoenn league Champion, it will be at Sootopolis city and I wanted you to be there and watch as we both know your of my colleagues will be arriving tomorrow who also wants to meet you, so I was wondering if we can meet at my house for lunch tomorrow. Deacon "I would love to come as I have that gym next as it is my last one, Lucy is leaving in the morning and I have no other plans besides that, so I will see you tomorrow" as he heads out and says he will see me then When we reach the room I can see Lucy in contemplation as we decide to rest before dinner when we head out and reach the restaurant we start talking Deacon "I'm glad Steven has a shot now, he's been trying for it for a while now. Anyway, I will miss you when your gone. Lucy" Me too, but I will come see you when the Hoenn league starts in a month after you get your 8th gym badge," Deacon "You can just leave, when you want?'' As she explains that her job doesn't require her to be there all the time like a gym, as long as she doesn't abuse it she can be anywhere she wants when not we head to our room and sleep while in each other embrace I smile and feel at peace. When we wake in the morning we say goodbye after breakfast after she heads to her ferry and I kiss her goodbye getting another cute blush from her as she leaves and I am back to traveling alone.
Deacon P.O.V As I am sad at Lucy having to leave, I head back to the centre with Cinder trying to comfort me when I head to the phone to talk to gramps as I ring him up and here Oak " How is it going Deacon, as you know it's early right" as I see him yawning and with some bed head Deacon "Did you get the information I sent you about Registeel and the plaque as it is different from the first one as it tells a little more about history." as I see gramps get into his serious mode that he rarely does Oak" Your idea on them fascinate me, as you have an ability that many wish to have, but the fact is that this will be almost impossible to prove as everyone doesn't have what you access to" as I smile at that then tell him the main purpose of the call is to transfer Spiritomb back as he needs time grow as he hit a threshold and won't be able to for a while as he needs to adjust. Oak "That's great I can bring him to his favourite place to speed up a little bit. Well talking about that place your Pokémon came back and said he would be ready in a week to travel with you, he just needs time to adjust"As I smile and thank him after transferring Spiritomb and hanging up, I head to Stevens house I have to show him info on the Regi's as it will make him Jealous as can be. When I am in front of his house, I was wondering if I was early but still decide to know on the door, While I was waiting I finally here footsteps as he opens the door and I see him holding a Shieldon that I am guessing he restored from the fossil I gave he sees me and smiles well welcoming me in as I see it looks no different than his other houses with different rock specimen lining the shelves along the walls. Deacon "Your decorator must love, easy job for a rich guy that only wants his rocks and stone to be seen, and look at that over a dozen evolutionary stones in a corner protected by a glass case" as he looks at me smiles sheepishly Steven ``It was all done by myself as you will know. No one knows my categorization as well as me, and those are the low quality ones I have the high end and top end ones at my office back at I want to thank you again for this little guy as ever since he has been restored, the only issue is he is a little of a rascal right now."as I smile at that, then I get a grin that he easily recognised as I ask Deacon "So you want to hear what has happened since I last saw you in Dewford, I know you will like it. But when you hear it you will be jealous out of your mind," as he looks at Steven "Just tell me, you know you are going to eventually if it is really that good" Deacon "Fine, fine you forced it out of me, you remember telling me the dream Pokémon that you would want to meet the absolute top, while I met 2 of them. Regirock and Registeel." as he looks at me Steven "Bullshit, bullshit you have been on your first real journey for a couple of months and you already met 2. I don't believe you, I need proof you have shown me"as I show him everything I had on the 2 with the ancient language, the tombs and the Pokémon waking up and going back to I promise to send him it all with the Pokedex data and any pictures I had. When we hear a knock at the door and he yells to come in, When Drake of the elite 4 enters his house and looks at the computer is surprised at the images. As he turns to me Drake "You must be who my brother talked about as Houndoom are not the most common in Hoenn, What badge are you on now" Deacon "Just got my 7th badge yesterday and soon as I make it to the last city, I will have gotten all 8 I need for the evergrand conference next of the reason I am here to day, is I want permission to train at victory road after I get it."as he looks at me approvingly Drake "That's what I like to hear, I am guessing you are going to watch his match coming up right.I am here both to take him there as well of be official witness along with the other elite 4, as the old champion who was before the current one, I really look forward to it" when we see Steven finally getting up as he we hear the phone ringing as he picks up first nervous then worried and finally excited Steven "Big news, I don't know how it got such great timing but Regice has been spotted on some island near dewford and he has frozen the sea around him. We need to head there now Drake and I am guessing you want to come also Deacon."as I smile at that of course agreeing Drake "If we leave now we can make it in time to deal with it and just make it in time for you match in Sootopolis, it will be tight and I will not be able to help due to its advantage" Deacon "Don't worry as it is my fault Regice is awake and causing problems it is my purpose to battle him and calm him down to go back to rest"as Drake hears this and looks at Steven for confirmation who nods and says Steven "We can tell you later on the boat as now is not the best time as we are in somewhat of a time crunch" as he nods and we head out to his ship.
Deacon P.O.V Sitting with 2 of the elite 4 while on 1 of their ships on our way to face a legendary Pokémon, you could say I had quieter days, while Cinder looks ready to go as I promised him that he can face the Pokémon when we we are drinking tea, as drake is telling us of some of his sea travels, I can see shin on the main mast looking at the breeze while talking to Drakes Altaria. Drake "So is quite a tale you have told me and if I haven't seen the proof I wouldn't have believed it, the only legendary I met was on the sea years ago during a storm, that I nearly didn't survive. When Kyogre appeared causing my crew to starboard and exit the storm after a few was decades ago before I was the Champion, shortly after I became a captain and to me this was fate telling me to stay as one as how few people meet such a presence on the sea"as we are listening and all I can think about is, I would have loved to read it's aura as it must be a league up of the regi's Deacon "I have to ask the current champion, what do you think are the chances of you winning Steven, all I know is he is a psychic Pokémon specialist, and that he hardly takes part in his duties that don't involve battling" as all three look at each other Steven "While he is tough, he has lost 2 times since becoming it, once to a champion from another region and once when the trainer didn't want to become champion of the region that is her home one" Drake "His team is made up of Xatu, Gardevoir, Grumpig, Lunatone, Starmie and his partner Medicham, who seems to rarely get a hit against. The only reason he lost those 2 matches is his other Pokémon couldn't deal with even half of his opponents teams and resulted him being tired out"as I laugh at that causing them to glare at me as you can see Steven is worried about it Deacon " So I am guessing that you 2 are confused on the Medicham can avoid being hit, from either sneak attacks, strategy to block movements and all ideas correct" Steven "Correct, no one has figured out a good counter to it, as for it's type helps to mitigate the obvious ways to battle it, it can always find its opponent in the sky, sea or ground" as it earns another chuckle and glare from him but Drake seems to understand that I have something for it. Deacon" The thing about Medicham is that he can be trained 2 different ways, depending on the ability he holds and in rare cases having both. The first one I am sure you are aware of is Pure power that strengthens physical moves by a large amount, the second one that 1 in 100 possesses is Telepathy, from what you told me he possesses the 2nd one." Steven "How can you tell, it is a powerhouse that fights like a mad one" Deacon "If his Pokémon had both he wouldn't have as much trouble and it would take few moves to defeat most Pokémon, if he tired out that means he doesn't have Medicham as another characteristic that most don't know about, is that it can sense its surroundings with aura and if strong enough can sense a little in the future or past depending on it's talents" as they looked very surprised at this Drake "I know from my travels of aura and new about Lucario lineage and connection with it, but so much information has been lost, I heard of a story on the sea of an guardian along with his partner in the old times who would protect an island that was covered in a mirage, as it was supposed to hold the eggs of some important Pokémon" as I smile as I know the whole story of that one Deacon " A Lot of knowledge has been lost on the subject, Guardians always have a partner most of the time it is one of the 2 Pokémon lineage, but not always I know of 3 cases that have proof, a pikachu, houndoom and a continuing with Medicham, any attacks that take prep or forethought can be more easily picked up, those have set up are almost never to hit and the best ones are those that are upfront and direct as you don't want to give it time, keep it guessing try to go by instinct" as they digest it when Steven asks Steven "How do you know all this, I have never seen you with that type of Pokémon, I do know some of your abilities of what you told me" as I smirk While in sinnoh I got a lead that led me to my master, when during training I saved my junior martial brother from some poachers as he was protecting some young Pokémon that were cornered. When I left my master, my junior didn't want to leave me so he asked if I could catch him, so I agreed as I grew quite fond of, the only thing the master told us was that he had to finish what he needed to be taught before he could travel with me. Around 2 months ago he finished and has been at gramps adjusting his power before and he will be done in a few days and we can travel again."as they started to make sense of what I said and realize the meaning Drake "does that make you a Guardian then" while I shake my head Deacon "All I need is time and experience I am still in training" Steven looks at me in thought and asks me Steven "How strong is he compared to your other Pokémon" as I think Deacon "Only Cinder can stand up to him head to head if he isn't holding back" shocking Steven a bit knowing that Cinder has few times went all out Steven "Can we have a mock battle for practice when we reach Sootopolis, and what are the chances that his knows anything about aura"while I think Deacon "Sure on the battle as the last one has been a few years, as for that most unlikely as you need both abilities to understand and have a body strong enough to withstand it, there's a chance that the Pokémon knows of it and can augment it's telepathy a little to increase range but that's it" as he looks relieved as I said that Steven "Thanks, this will help a lot" as I begin to think of his Pokémon and tell him Deacon "To bad that you haven't trained Sheldon enough he could have helped much in this battle" as Drake looks surprised at that Pokémon's name being brought up being compared to an elite 4's Pokémon when Steven clarify as well of sending out Sheldon Steven "Deacon had gotten me a fossil from sinnoh containing this little guy here, I only have him for a couple of weeks and he is already able to fight against a metang" greatly shocking Drake as he asks me what other Pokémon I have on me Deacon "While on me besides the 2 you know I have Tyranitar, Absol and my Zweilous" as I release them and to the other 2 shock when Tyranitar being excited as he is jumps in the sea and starts swimming alongside, as well Drake is shocked at Zweilous and starts asking questions when he states that he is a fighter with much potential while checking him out. Drake " How long has it been since he evolved and how far along do you think for his next evolution, now I can see how he gained the respect of Registeel" as my Pokémon is really happy with the compliments well I answer his question surprising him greatly that he has only evolved roughly a week earlier Steven "I see Creek still loves the water fully grown eh," as he looks over the side at him in the water with a few curious water Pokémon swimming alongside him Deacon "Yeah and thanks to it I have to say he has one of the strongest physical bodies of all my Pokémon, as he evolved fighting against Regirock, if it wasn't for the damage he took before evolved it would have been a lot closer" As the next few days pass and were reach our destination As we look around I tell them the type of island that we should be looking for when we spot the frozen sea and near the edge Regice, as I tell them to wait on the ship not to think we are attacking I jump off of the ship with Cinder and we head towards him and when he notices us to my surprise I feel a jolt of happiness in his aura Regice " regi, regice" as he talks to Cinder who then tells me that it was saying it has been expecting us for a long confusing me and Cinder as it prepares to face us and we get ready as well.
Deacon P.O.V Deacon " Cinder no holding back this battle, open your mind" As we connect with each other greatly increase our strength and battle senses, we both have the feeling joy that we can fight all out again as its been a long time, as we start with using nasty plot stacked as we have practiced while we see Regice using curse, surprising me a little as the other 2 never bothered with those type of moves. While me and Cinder bond I have him to use flamethrower as it is strongest we have used as it tears straight towards our opponent who responds we hyper beam as they cancel each other out, while Regice can't move I have Cinder close the distance when close, to use Fire blast hitting him causing steam to appear. When it clears you can see the ice around melted and Regice shot back quite a bit distance, who responds with a zap cannon where I have Cinder use hidden power slowing the attack and giving him enough time to dodge. While I notice even with the strength of the attacks he doesn't look that damaged meaning I need to try other attacks while I have Cinder use his new move we practiced as he starts with flame charge and combines it with giga impact, as they are powering up I see Regice powering a move I have seen once before super power. When they impact and explosion of power forms causing both Pokémon to be shot back and you can see them both hurt from the others attack, as I have to wait as Cinder has to wait to recharge after giga impact I see Regice stumbling when he uses hyper beam on my already hurt Pokémon knocking him I think he lost, I noticed Regice knocked over as it looks like that last move used the last of his energy, as I smile fatigued from this battle thanks to my bond with Cinder. Drakes P.O.V As I traveled with Deacon these last few days and agree with what my brother told me with his potential and his trust with his Poké for what Steven has told me I think it is a little to early, as his journey just begun, that was until now as I am watching that battle with I can tell his Pokémon are strong considering how close my Altaria got with his Scizor when I am guessing they are discussing how to battle with the wind. His Zweilous is close to the level needed for a powerhouse but needs to learn how to control his dragon energy better, as right now his dark energy is eclipsing it, that he has to learn on his own and shows a little inexperience on his training. While watching the battle I ask Steven Drake "Did you know his Houndoom was this strong" as we look at the flamethrower that came from it Steven "I am guessing he powered the move up with nasty plot, when he is serious with some of his Pokémon in battle he doesn't need to speak with commands thanks to his aura his Pokémon know what he for knowing his power, 2 years ago I battle his houndoom with my skarmory and it lost bad, even with the type advantage, my Pokémon is at elite 4 level as well with al my countermeasures against fire types it still lost" as he looks at me and I can't deny it after seeing this battle as I turn back and surprised at his ingenuity at combining giga impact and flame charge as you need great control and time to accomplish that. Steven "He's gotten better, this is why I am surprised when compared another of his Pokémon to his trusted partner" as I think of him having another Pokémon at this level as my only Pokémon that compare to it is Avary amence and I rarely have to use him in battle the last time was against Steven here and his we watch both Pokémon faint from the battle surprising me as it still is a legendary Pokémon he faced against. Deacon P.O.V As I call for Creek to carry Regice and I have Shin and Absol carry Cinder back to the ship for the medic to care for him. While Creek following me as we reach the tomb and lay Regice inside as all its energy is spent while I have Creek to close the tomb, as I look for the plaque and take some pictures of it before heading back to the ship after recalling Creek to his I reach the ship Drake helps me up as he lowers some rope for me as I land on deck Drake tells me Drake "Alan's got you buddy healing up as we speak, he says the damage is not as bad as first thought, the greater issue as he is wiped of most of his energy, he will need a few days of rest to recover to be able to travel again, and another week before he will be able to battle again" as I met his medic and trust his judgement and skills. Deacon "So do you want to know what the 3rd plaque says" as they look at each other and nod giving me some time and space to work on the translation after an hour thanks to my practice I have it fully done and decide to share it with Drake and Steven and send the other interested parties The Ice Body one lays in this tomb after passing his mantel to his kin, thanks to the hero of our time as we listen to his last request before he left we made these plaques in order of his wish telling us that the one who needs to follow the path set protect the trio and this land from the one whos trying to conquer this land, he who secured the orbs that control the overlords sealed away in the mountain that few message we promised to deliver to those who find it in the future it all starts with a Pokémon that origins we made, and control the treasure we protect. As we look at each other and digest what it was telling us, making us wonder how it would know the order we would find the Regi's and the significance of our actions that could have been foreseen. Steven " This is a little creepy, these events must have more meaning than we first thought, as I find it odd that these Pokémon would be so protected yet easily disturbed" as we agree and then we realize we have to make it to Sootopolis city as he wants time for a practice battle.
Deacon P.O.V The trip back was uneventful as Cinder healed half way back enough to walk yet not enough to battle again, as we are having small talk and expectations for the conference in 3 weeks as I need to face Wallace as they tell me it will be 4 vs 4 as that's what he usually does and from I know of his reputation, I won't be using Cinder in the battle as for the other one sitting out I have no idea as of yet. As we reach the city I can finally see my Martial brother back and have another companion to talk to as we reach the Poke-centre I remember tomorrow is when I promised Lucy to watch the news as it got delayed for some reason, when I head to the phone to call gramps I notice that the centre is a lot more pack then I am used to and find out it is due to Stevens match coming up and Wallace is performing show in a few days before. As gramps answers the phone I smile when he answers Deacon "Hey gramps, I met the final one, what do you think of the data? It is interesting right? Regice seemed to be stronger in special defence then physical, compared to the other 2 right. I am also calling for my martial brother, as he should be ready" Oak "I am going to miss him helped with understanding a lot theories I had to give up on earlier thanks to know way to prove or understand the data, also since he met some of your Pokémon he tells he wants a name so you should start thinking.I always thought each one had a difference because of the make up of their bodies, I mean ice, rock and steel they can't be the same right" as I agree to that Deacon "I figured that was going to come and I am drawing blanks on a name for him thanks to his serious nature" as I smile after receiving the poke-ball that held him when I say thanks to gramps as he hangs up as I call out my friend Medicham" Hello master, It is nice to see you again after all this time, have you decided on a name for me" as he talks to me with telepathy Deacon" I was thinking since you're such a free spirit you should be named after one and I decided Sinbad suits you, after the sailor of legends" as Sinbad knows some of his legends that travel across different regions."Also great news I have a great opponent for you to practice" Sinbad "Great as I haven't battle for a few months and want a nice opponent" as he radiates joy that can be easily felt A few hours later at the practice field behind the centre as it's closed off so that there are no interruptions from others only me, Steven and Drake. As we are on our respective sides, and Drake is referee to make sure we don't go to was decided Steven gets the first move, as he remembered what I told him how he should battle his opponent calls for bullet punch, as Sinbad needed know instruction begins to dodge as the attacks with little movement.I call for fire punch, as it hit's Metagross, dealing some damage as it's strong body and fact it's a powerhouse shrugs it off and uses meteor mash, while sinbad is on close quarters who tries to dodge but gets hit but just barely. I call for him to use force palm and aim for his opponents top of the body as Steven calls for both Iron defence and gyro ball making taking my attack and sending it force against it causing Sinbad to be hurt. Seeing as he took damage I get him to use recover to heal himself of most damage, not wanting to miss the advantage he calls for hyper beam hitting my Pokémon dead on as the smoke clears he has taken a lot of damage again as I call for him to use fire punch multiple times while Metagross can't move causing some serious Steven calls for gyro ball again, making but Sinbad gets out of the way before he could hit, as both Pokémon has taken some damage at this point and Steven has some experience as he saw it can't dodge hits if there is no time to read the aura of the field, we decide to end it as a tie. Steven"This has helped me alot, I am a little surprised that Medicham can use fire punch, as the champion's only uses ice and lightning punch. Along with the fact your Pokémon seems to have a stronger body then his" Deacon "Not all Medichams have the same move set, the punch can be trained but some can't have all 3 for different reasons, Do to his other ability my Medicham has built his body up with training, he is still pretty young at 3 years old, and given time he will get better at all aspects. From what you told me the champions should at the very least be over 8 giving him much more time and experience" Drake "That does sound right and with Metagross strong body I believe the Champions Pokémon will have a much tougher time dealing damage to it if what you told us is true" as I nod at that Steven" This makes me a lot more confident about my match coming up, I also got you to have your gym battle in 2 days as my buddy Wallace always seems busy at some time" as we put our Pokémon away and head inside to restore them Deacon "thanks, and any word about victory road, as it is the perfect training ground" Steven ``After I become the champion it will be easier, but you know the rules you can only catch one Pokémon, as it is hard to find strong wild Pokémon aside from them and we want to keep it that way." as I nod, having been told by gramps that each victory road is the same. As we go over the battle and tell him some things that might be different he thanks me as we head to bed as it's getting late after drake said he would meet us when the match is going to start as he likes sleeping on his ship.
Deacon P.O.V I decided I should let my Pokémon rest today as Cinder is still upset he can't participate in the gym battle tomorrow, not that he was going to as I wouldn't tell him that. Allowing my Pokémon to rest in my room has made it a little tight, as Sootopolis city doesn't have the most room and is very busy, I decide to watch the tv in the Poke-centre common room as I wait for what Lucy told me to, as I am really curious what all the build up is for. When I finally hear the news coming from the tv with Scott being in front with Lucy, Anebel and 5 others I don't know behind him. I hear him start Scott " It's been in the works for over a year, where I found talented trainers, some known and some unknown, some old and some young to make this facility that I have been dreaming of. I call the Battle Frontier and these 7 behind me the Frontier brains, 1st here is the knowledgeable Noland head of the Battle factory if you beat him you get the knowledge symbol, 2nd is the fierce Arena Tycoon Greta beating her gets the guts symbol, 3rd you have the famous Dome Ace Tucker holding the tactics symbol, 4th the Pike queen Lucy getting the Luck symbol, 5th the one with nature Palace Maven Spenser getting the spirit symbol, 6th the young prodigy tower tycoon Anebel and only after you beat these 6 will you be allowed to face the 7th Pyramid king Brandon. For the first 6 you can battle them in any order, giving you many chances and 3 shots at each Frontier challenge takes place in Kanto, Johto and Hoenn, and is meant to give trainers a challenge and increase their have been talented trainers who challenged it in beta testing but none have succeeded. I leave this challenge to those trainers, the requirement to enter the challenge is at least a top 8 in a regional conference. There the well challengers hope to see you soon." As it is over, I now know what everyone is talking about and get excited for another challenge after the evergreen conference as I was kind of at a loss, not wanting to challenge more gyms in different regions as the strength of the Pokémon are now very few leaders will be an effort. As I email Lucy, congratulating her on her new work and hoping it gives her more of a challenge, and telling her hoping to see her soon. As I eat and head back to my room to rest tomorrow for my fight against Wallace. Next day As I head to the gym, Steven said he would meet me there as he wanted to talk with his friend, when I get there I see him and the one I assume is wallace talking as he notices me and waves getting his friend to turn around. Steven "Up and early as always I see, here is Wallace the gym leader you are going to be battling today" as he points to him Wallace "I almost never see Steven so cryptic about a person before so you have me very intrigued are you ready to battle" as I smile Deacon "very much so" as we head inside and I am surprised at his battle field as the field is divided on his side. It is all later with floating platforms and on my side I see 2 pieces of land divided by what I would call a river. It is making me excited as he uses the field to have bother trainers able fight to their we head to our elevated podiums the referee states Referee "The battle between Sootopolis gym leader Wallace vs the challenger Deacon, it will be a 4 vs 4 battle and will end when either side has no Pokémon who can continue, only the challenger can substitute during battle. Begin'' As we let out our Pokémon as he lets out Luvdisc and I call out Creek getting a surprised look from Wallace and a smirk from Steven. I start off with a rock slide having it hit the water and a few hit the opponents Pokémon, as Wallace calls for a water pulse but as it hits Creek it just bounces off. I have him use a dark pulse hitting Luvdisc deep in the water, as Wallace figures only his strongest move would work as he calls for hydro Pump, as I have Creek break the attack with brick break and finish his opponent off with another rock slide. Referee "Luvdisc is unable to continue, call for the next opponent" Wallace "I see why you chose your, Pokémon but now you are going to face a Pokémon with a lot more power and won't be blocked a lot more easily" As he calls out a Sealeo, I decide to keep creek in as the battle begins I start with Dark pulse to feel out the opponent's strategy, as he calls for his Pokémon to dodge then to use aura beam hitting Creek dealing some damage.I then tell creek to do something that greatly surprises Wallace having him jumping in the water after his opponent using thunder fang dealing great damage to him as it is being conducted by the water. As Creek is swimming in the water chasing his opponent making a strange sight, as Wallace has his Pokémon to use blizzard freezing Creek in a block of ice and the water as well doing only his head showing not covered in ice I call for hyper beam and destroys everything in its path and knocking his opponent out of the field and knocked out. Referee "Sealeo is unable to battle, call out your next Pokémon and the challenger may substitute if he wishes" As I agree its best and recall Creek and call out Shin as Wallace calls out Whiscash, I call for Shin to use agility increasing his speed even more as I have him dart around the battlefield, in response my opponent calls for muddy water trying to use the spread effect to hit. As I call for Shin to use the Ice to send himself into the air and to use that force to attack with an iron head, hitting his opponent hard in the water. Wallace calls for his Pokémon to use future sight as it gives me warning that I have to finish this soon as this battle can get a lot more complicated as I call for Shin to use a barrage of Bullet punch, while dodging any attacks used against him. Wallace, seeing how it is going, tells Whiscash to use an ice beam and having a few attacks get in as they are hitting each other, future sight takes effect knocking him out and from Whiscash fainting from the damage he has taken.
Deacon P.O.V Referee "Both Pokémon are unable to battle, the gym leader has one left and the challenger has 3. Let the battle continue" As we recall our Pokémon and I know who the final Pokémon is going to be as I decide to call out Absol as he calls for Milotic, my biggest worry in this match is recovery. As I start it off with sword dance hopefully to end it before he can recover too often as Wallace calls for twister, trying to get Absol lose his footing. When he is shot in the air I call for him to use future sight as he lands I tell him to use psycho cut while charging in, not wanting me to get close my opponent calls for hydro pump as I call for Absol to dodge as it hits the side of his body when he gets close as he continue his attack hitting Milotic for Wallace calls for recover, as I predicted I call for dark slash as he still close and he tries to counter with aqua tail but he overestimated his Pokémon's strength as absol attack cuts through it and sends him back heavily damaged. At this point the future sight attack comes in and hits Milotic, damaging her even further as I finish my opponent off with another psycho cut. Referee "Milotic is unable to continue, the match and battle goes to the challenger Deacon" as I thank Absol and recall him, as I walk to Wallace and shake his hand and receive the rain badge. Wallace "Great match, no wonder Steven has been paying attention to you with your strength, I got to say your Tyranitar can throw a lot of people off as not many like the water like yours" Deacon "He was always like this even is a larvitar"as I see Steven come down from watching and walk over to us Steven "It's not just that it his knowledge and his strange actions he takes that involve both Pokémon and his nickname" as Wallace frowns at that and wants me to continue Deacon "I am sometimes called the Poacher Hunter, anyway Steven are you ready for your battle against the champion" as we talk about this for a I head to the centre for rest and leave all my Pokémon with nurse joy to make sure they are good. The day of Stevens battle As I am in the VIP box with Drake watching the battle start as they both call out their Pokémon Steven Skarmoury and for the champion Xatu, as they battle Steven starts with dark slash getting a lot of damage everytime it hits, while the champion tries to get space to be able to use psychic with teleport. Thanks to Steven genius you see the reason he chooses Skarmoury as he chases after his opponent not giving any time thanks to its agility when he finishes the battle with a steel wing that I am guessing he used to increase his defence. The champion then calls out Gardevoir and Steven leaves his Skarmoury in as I look at Drake who explains that this Pokémon is the Champions 2 nd strongest and he just wants to tire it out a starts with an aerial ace using his Pokémon's speed to counter any countermeasures, as when the Opponent tries to use confusion thanks to his speed and power behind his attack goes though. As a result of the confusion Skarmoury is confused and can't fly right as he keeps hitting the grounds, as Steven is trying to get him to use dark slash, instead his Pokémon is using steel wing to hit his opponent who uses psychic to stop him and crush him into the ground when he is in the air Steven calls for flash canon hitting his opponent knocking each other out Drake "That's better than he could ask for and I know who he is calling next" As they both call out their next Pokémon, as I see Steven call out Aggron and the Champion Grumpig, as Steven calls for dragon claw to end the battle quickly as the champion tries to use psychic but it fails. As Steven explains, his plan thanks to Aggron's weight and power makes the majority of those attacks can't make it through, as his attack hits sending Grumpig to the air. As the champion tries to use bounce to use the force against him. But a part of the plan he calls for Iron head as they collide Aggron is hardly damaged and Grumpig is sent to the back wall knocked out as the champion recalls his Pokémon. Next the Champion calls out Lunaton and calls for an earthquake as it damages Agrron a lot, when Steven calls for Solarbeam, as he charges his attack up the champion uses a stone edge trying to disrupt the attack. As it hits, it does damage but not enough to stop the attack as lets solar beam directly hit his opponent, doing serious damage but it stays in the fight and uses earthquake again trying to end the fight when Steven calls for heavy slam having his Pokémon jumping on Lunatone and crushing him to the floor when the Champion calls for explosion causing both Pokémon to be out of sight from the smoke to reveal lunatone fainted and Agrron hurt as it can barely stand. As they call for their next Pokémon, Steven calls out Clay and the champion Starmie, as I figure Steven must have a plan knowing who is opponent was going to call he starts the battle with light screen weakening all the attacks from his opponent in the process, as opponent uses scald hoping to get the burn status thanks to his opponents Light starts his attack with charge beam and continues to use it powering up his attacks, while the champion tries to have his Pokémon dodge as much as possible while using scald. While the 2 are following their strategy you can see Steven is winning as his Pokemon attacks keeps getting stronger and able to break through his opponent scald. After a few connecting the Champions Pokémon is Knocked out as he recalls it and then calls out his strongest partner. As Medicham is released you can see the tension in the air coming from Steven as I am guessing they face each other before. As the Champion doesn't call for any moves as he lets Steven continue his attack as he calls for Icebeam trying to limit his moves as it affects the battlefield while his opponent is dodging after a while when Claydol is slowing down the Champion makes his moves using high jump kick as Steven smiles as when his Opponent is close he calls for explosion making it impossible to fully dodge. When the smoke clears you can see Claydol fainted and Medicham very hurt as you can see some blast marks as well of him clutching his leg thanks to his own next fight with Metagross is easy against a hurt opponent as he uses bullet punch to direct his opponent into a meteor mash finishing the match and Steven becoming the Champion.
Deacon P.O.V I'm on victory road now as Steven dropped me off as he went to his inaugural ceremony at the elite 4 towers with all the media and officials. As I use my week to train I had left Absol with gramps as he doesn't like to fight and since he is strong and can take care of my other Pokémon I decide to have Weavile on my team as a wild card no one will we are training and fighting against strong opponents I look for any Pokémon that catch my interest as I mostly work with Weavile and Zweilous as my other Pokémon have more experience. It has been over a year since I had Weavile in my party as gramps kept reporting trouble may Pokémon have caused in my absence and in that time he got quite stronger keeping the most distinctive part about him is his scar and missing left eye as to how it happened he won't tell me just that his trainer abandoned him after, as I tried to find him to teach him a lesson but couldn't due to lack information. As I battled against wild Golbats with Weavile as he needs to know how to deal against Pokémon that can fly as I trained him into making the terrain all ice, to be able to throw off my opponent and his love of the ice and snow. Deacon "Weavile is a move that will help you a lot in battles against flying Pokémon and others is hail, as it is a hard move for some to learn, it slows down opponents and over time causes damage you can capitalise on." Weavile "wea, wea. Weavile" Deacon " The ones that can help the most would be Creek and Cinder as they have gotten used to their own moves with sandstorm and Sunny day, both to help against their weakness and allow themselves an advantage, Cinder here will give some pointers" as I point to Cinder Cinder "Houndoom, Houndoom"as he and Weavile work on it when Weavile all of sudden tries and uses Sunny day as I look at them and said Deacon "I was look for hail, so I am guessing he told you to do it how he does, try the same thing with your ice energy" as they look embarrassed while I note how the sunny reflects brightly against the ice giving me some ideas to try in battle as I decide to look at Zweilous as I look at him working with Sinbad on how to control is inner energy as I feel his physical attributes is strong enough to try and evolve as I don't want him to is my best Pokémon to call on in controlling his inner energy as his training for aura helped to develop it, as I realize I was wrong in my first thoughts in his training as his dark energy seems to always grow faster than his dragon. It made me think that it is the trait of his species of Pokémon as he doesn't know as the only other one was his mother and she never trained him due to his age. I had asked Drake if he knew anything, but his closest Pokémon that had any similarity was a Kingdra that he used to protect his ship and it always focused on the water and allowed it to use the guidance of other Kingdra it had met in the sea to train. Sinbad "Deacon, it seems that whenever he trains his dragon energy it gets incorporated with his dark energy during attacks''as I trust him as his senses of the energy of Pokémon eclipsis mine while I eclipse his sense in the aura as I don't have to deal with balancing in my body like he does. As I understand what he is talking about I wonder if that is a unique trait of his or his whole lineage, but I am happy as this might make the properties mixed making his dragon attacks more effective on some Pokémon. Deacon "Work with that, try and have him gain understanding on his energy as he is most at balanced with body and energy, I feel after he finds what he is missing it will be ready when he gains an understanding of his energy" as I turn to see Weavile using hail but seems distracted as I head to him as he gains a look of excitement and Cinder tells me Cinder "houndoom, houndoom, houndoom." and I can't believe what I hear as I remember how hard it was to teach him how to really see with one eye. Deacon "Is it true that you can feel the ice and those on it with your inner ice energy" as he turns to me and jumps at me Weavile "Weavile, weav, weavile"as he explains as he projected his energy out he was able to sense Cinder behind him as he was standing on ice when his energy hit the ice and melted giving him a sense of everything around him. When I noticed his eyes were closed like usual when training, as he got from the trauma after the incident. Deacon "This is good, we can use it with practice but the issue is you need to see your opponent during a battle when they are at distance, as that's where we are going to train first then your new abilities" as I ask Cinder to watch over him as I call out Shin to assist thanks to his being a good target to practice on. After a few days while going further in I notice some some life energy leaking out from a chasm as I ask Shin to look down when he tells me he sees man made structures that we saw before, as I wonder how I am going to get down I call out Sinbad Deacon "Do you have strength to lower me in the ruins at the side of the chasm" Sinbad "Let me see" as I know he is looking to follow the life energy to its source "I can get you down there but no one else" as I ask him to lower me down as I ask him and Cinder to guard this spot while Shin follows me. As I was lowered down, I notice it looks similar to the Regi Tombs but different as they look a little older, when I look at the writing I notice their is a few extra symbols as I enter the mouth of the cave I follow the energy as see a large clay pot sealed with a plaque in-front as I translate it, I come up with In the pot of sealing is the product of our people's greatest masterpiece but not wanting it to be abused we have sealed it until it can be found with one of aura or psychic traits to protect it and allow it to guide him. Also trust it as he was given most knowledge we have gathered on the ancients that protect us and the land. Its name is ? and was the first before we came to realize it needed to have limits that we have done since, as our people disappear through the ages those that are left are hiding our treasures and knowledge to keep it out of the wrong hands and those pure if they need it for protecting our beloved land and Pokémon. We the people of the ? civilization" As I understand it I think the leak means it will no longer survive if I leave it there. I open the lid and am surprised to see the largest of that species that I have ever seen and if the description is right the most powerful with no limits.
Deacon P.O.V As I arrive at the ever grande conference I decide to register before doing anything else as I walk toward the front desk and wait for the few in-front of me when I hear my name being called as I turn around Lucy " I am so happy to see you Deacon and you too Cinder" as she hugs me before bending down to pet Cinder as I smile at seeing lucy again Deacon "Great to see you too Lucy, I missed you" as I spread my aura so she can sense it as she blushes when I hear the reception lady call me Receptionist "Are you here to sign for the contest" as she looks annoyed at our little scene Deacon "Yes, here's my badges and Id" as she looks at them and registers me as a participant as I walk away and talk to Lucy Lucy "So let's go meet everybody" as I am curious who is here when we walk towards a restaurant and I am surprised to see whos here includes Annabelle, Prof. Birch and his I hear Birch " I talked to your dad and he says he can be here for the qualifying round as he had a little business and that Oak and your aunt will watch from tv." as I smile at that and see Lucy a little stiff at the news realising that this will be the first time she will see my dad as she met my aunt through the phone a couple of times. Deacon "Sounds good I don't want to sound conceited but I don't think I will have a problem there," as they nod at that "Did any of you see Steven's match it was great I watched it with Drake in a box seat" As they looked surprised and a little jealous at that little tidbit, as we start talking about the match and them wondering how he came with a strategy for the battle as I explain getting some gasp from start to tell them at realising they haven't met Sinbad yet Deacon "I guess you haven't met my martial brother yet" as I get stares as I release Sinbad Birch "When did you get him, how can you compare him to your other Pokémon" as they anticipate an answer Deacon "I met him when training with my master and he decided to follow me while in sinnoh but he had more training he needed to do before he could come with me then went to gramps to train a little more. If I had to compare it would be closest with Cinder here then Creek," as in bad turns to me and asks Sinbad "the big one feels like bundle of excess energy, the one beside him feels tired, the little one has her emotions open to all allowing her to listen to us talk and the lady at your side has an aura love directed towards you" as I am surprised that Anebel has gotten that good as I smirk before I see her look of astonishment between me and Lucy. As I tell her with my aura Deacon "Keep it a secret please you can ask me or Lucy after when we are alone, and congrats on improving more and you new job prodigy." as I see her smile Lucy "Moving on, who are you using in your preliminaries" as I smirk getting a glare Deacon "Secret, as none of you met him yet" getting surprises from them The next day at the conference Announcer "I would like to announce the start of the ever grande conference preliminaries, it is a single 1 vs 1 battle and single elimination, before we go to the qualifiers with the 256 top participants. the matches will be held between 5 stadiums and make sure you are up for your match so watch for announcements" As I look at my number and see I am in stadium 3 and the 6th match as I don't care too much to watch my opponents as 1 Pokémon is not enough to care. As I tell my friends so they can get seats to watch, I ask Cinder to sit with them as I don't want to give too much information to those that don't do their homework. As I wait in the trainers prep room as the screen has the people before me as I watch due to boredom and nothing really stands out to me except one trainer with a Skarmoury who beat a blaziken much to the crowds surprise. When it is finally my turn Announcer "Now we have our 6th match in the stadium Deacon vs Alex. Please come on out." as we walk to the field and I see my opponent in a fighting gi, making me think he was a fighting Pokémon specialist. When we reach our spots I hear the referee Referee "Now it is a 1 vs 1 battle when your Pokémon cannot continue you are eliminated, release your Pokémon trainers" as we comply As my opponent calls out his Poliwrath and when everyone sees my Pokémon exclaim in surprise as it is a Baltoy over double the normal size. When I hear my opponent Alex " Glad to have a tough fight but don't think I am scared of you Baltoy, he can't compare to my partner here" as I smile and tell him Deacon "While he is strong I am not worried even if this is his first battle against a trainer' as my opponent exclaims in anger Alex "I will teach you not to take me lightly with a new Pokémon" asI just smile as the ref tells us to start My opponent wants to gain the advantage when he calls for rain dance. When countering it I ask Baltoy to use sunny days as they struggle to over power each other. Sunny day eventually overcomes my opponents move. As my opponent to my surprise calls for an ice beam, making a question is the idea of a range battle when I call for a light screen to protect him then to use Extrasensory as it hits his opponent. Who then calls for ice punch when I call for a grass knot to trip him then to use psychic sending him flying as my opponent calls for rain dance again as I realize his ability must be swift swim and that's why he needed to make an opportunity so I can't counter it again. As the next move I call for drains the colour from his face as I use the trick room, making his work for nothing as I call for earthquake and thanks to his speed slowing down finish it with a psybeam getting Poliwrath to be knocked out. Referee "Poliwrath is unable to continue, Deacon makes it to qualifying round" as I smile and Baltoy lands on my head as he connects with me showing his happiness at winning with me as I share my joy with him as I walk to my opponent to shake hands Alex "I can see why you used him with his variety of attacks, it was an eye opener for me" as I tell him Deacon "I let you know a secret, he knows every move his species is capable of, the only issue is it makes it a lot more difficult to evolve as a result" as he looks at me shocked as we walk away towards are own friends
Deacon P.O.V As I reach my group of friends I see the face of some people who want some answers that I have gotten very familiar with, as I tell them we should head to get something to eat as notice I am getting stares as Baltoy is still on my head when I ask him Deacon "Do you want to eat something or go back to your poke-ball" as it says he wants to eat something telling me it wants something sweet as I smile and nod okay. Lucy "While lets go I want something spicy as I was nervous this morning waiting for your match" before she realizes what she said Birch "I got just the place an old friend runs a restaurant that travels that has food found from different regions" as we all agree to it curious how it travels and when we see it are shocked as it is huge ship with 8 giant wheels "It is a ship that can travel on land it has been his dream when he won a lottery and got fulfill it" As we enter and the staff recognise Birch as he visits time to time and we get our own room as we order food, curry for Lucy, pasta for Birch and his assistant,I get steak for cinder, I got a berry pizza and a jumbo ice cream for something new for Baltoy. For the rest of my PokémonI got their favourites in doggy bags as there isn't much room for them. Deacon "So ask any questions you guys have and I will answer what I can to the best of my ability" as they look at each other deciding the order to go in to ask questions when they decide who goes first Birch "When and where did you get him, is his size because of his environment and I notice that he seems to have a great strength so why hasn't he evolved"when his assistant started Joshua " I notice despite your affinity with dark types Pokémon, among your non dark types you have quite a bit psychic types the only one not included is Shin" Anebel "How come when I listen to your Baltoy it seems like a newborn. Also how is your research on Pokémon limits and is Baltoy apart of the results, also have you learned anything about the question I asked you a few months ago"and lastly Lucy Lucy " I am curious on your training on weather moves with your Pokémon as I can say it is evident in your battle style, as I am guessing you understood something point showing in your battle where Baltoy overpowered your opponent's move" as I see she saw something that I thought was hidden well making me impressed Deacon " I caught him around a week ago at victory road in a hidden cave that I am guessing no one has seen in a long time. Now how many of you know the origin of Baltoy" as only Birch seems to have an idea so I go into it Deacon " Baltoy has an interesting history as not many know the fact he was actually created by humans out of clay long ago. Giving them a spirituality not many Pokémon have, It was called the Baltoy civilization as they were one of their greatest achievements. As they started reproducing like normal Pokémon the art was lost, now my Baltoy was actually the first one, as they were still learning they made him without limits afraid when they realized it they sealed him to not abuse his strength. This also answers your other question as a result of it, makes his ability to evolve have more requirements than normal. This kind of goes into one of Annabel's questions as they made and gave him knowledge, but he never had any experiences since he met me, causing him to act like a newborn"as they digest all of that, I feel it is right I hid all the other information about his skills, and what knowledge he actually has. Deacon "Now for Joshua's question, it is actually linked with what Anebel asked me a while ago, why some trainers seem to have affinity with certain types over others. I have 2 different thoughts as some have an affinity with a single or multiple types either at the same level or higher and lower. A lot focus on a single type as it is easier to train them to higher levels such as many elite 4's or even those advanced. The second idea is they raise their affinities themselves such as those who belong to clans. An example can be Lance of Johto who was born in a dragon master clan. Not everyone can find this or don't want to be limited as such. They go for all rounded teams, as my team even though I have a high affinity with dark types and I love them my team is pretty rounded if including what I have back at gramps. I also have another theory that affinity might not just be to types but can to other details such as some evolution lines, physics such as dog shaped or their physiques. Lucy here can be an example of that as you compare her Pokémon in her main team, how's Vulpix by the way" Lucy "He's great. I am waiting a few more times to evolve him as I don't want to limit his potential, like you told me." as she smiles at me Birch "That is remarkable, and it seems plausible, I remember a trainer some time ago only used grass types when he was saved by a fire type and seem to gain an affinity with both" Deacon "It is all speculation right now"When I hear behind me Avary "There can be truth to that, as from my experiences it also matters on level of trainers strength as you mention the elite 4's when those at the same level who don't focus on a single type more often lose. It is the same for beginners . I believe a matter of talent also affects the situation. Nice to see you son" As I get up to my companions surprise and hug father Deacon "It is nice to see you in person again been a while" as the rest say hello and I continue on answering questions Deacon "Anabel for the other question my research right now is inconclusive, now to Lucy in a battle I feel that the terrain is very important and my Pokémon practice in either make the terrain better for themselves or be adaptable. Another point on the weather is I feel it is good training for Pokémon's control of their energy by practicing it and trying to control it." as that gets nods do to the fact it makes sense. As we all start talking about different topics I notice Lucy being a little shy as I sit beside her while holding her hand to make her feel comfortable, as my father notices and just grins at me when everyone decides to head in while I go for a walk with her. Deacon "I think my dad noticed us" as Lucy turns red at that Lucy "How, we were only all together for a few hours" Deacon "Trust me it's almost impossible to hide things from him, he has connections and a great understanding of the human mind that few others can match with him coming from his experiences in life. As my aunt told you a little of his history."As I walk her back to the building she is staying at and kiss her before she heads inside.
Deacon P.O.V As I head to my room to sleep I let out my Pokémon to feed them their favourites as everyone is excited and I take care of their needs either brushing fur, polishing or washing them clean and when everything is done I get to bed. As I have no match today and just have to wait for tomorrow I head to the park to meet with Father, Anebel and Lucy. Birch and Joshua wanted to watch some matches to see if they can meet any cool Pokémon from other regions, as I can understand. As I reach the park I see father and Lucy talking on a bench with some of their Pokémon out and playing either in the pond, trees or the flowers. As I look at my father and can see how he has changed as his hair is starting to grey including his goatee, he seems to have gotten used to his missing leg parts and doesn't seem as stressed as he has been these last few years. As I walk up to them I hear Lucy "Are you serious" Avary "Yup, when I arrived at the poacher settlement in kanto, he had already taken them down as they were unconscious, him and his trio were playing with the young Houndour and Poliwags making a mess" as they begin to laugh when I call out my Pokémon to enjoy themselves when Zweilous jumps on Lucy when he sees her getting me to laugh causing them to notice me. Deacon "How's it going, did I get here late or anything" Avary "No no, as you know thanks to the clinic I wake up pretty early and sunny here want to rest on the grass in the sun" as he points to his Umbreon who is sunbathing while sleeping on nicely cut grass. Deacon "He's got to be the weirdest Umbreon I have ever seen, loves the sun can't stand the dark and eats more than Cinder here" as I look at my buddy sitting on the ground beside me who looks at me and decides to copy sunny and lays down next to him Avary "True, I thought he was going to be an Espeon as he was like this even as an Eeveea" as sunny looks up gives us a look and goes back down Lucy "All Pokémon have their habits or quirks, my leafy here can only sleep on branches on trees, so I had some put in different rooms at my houses" as she points at her Servine sleeping on a branch above us Deacon "Not just that it can also be their personalities, dad you know Ditto and have you met his partner in crime" as he looks at me and nods Avary " I have never seen a Skorupi quite like yours, Oak had to put signs around his lab and ranch warning them they may be tripped" Deacon "When those 2 get together you know there is trouble, I have only 3 Pokémon that can stop them being Cinder, Weavile and now Absol. As you know Shin and Creek don't care as long as they are not the victim, some reason they just avoid Sinbad'' as I get a stare from Lucy as I send her information on Skorupi in an email as I think about how I should train him a bit, it might help to mellow him out and he can be a powerhouse as can hold his own. As we watch our Pokémon play and we talk as if we don't have to leave as Lucy brings sandwiches and drinks. As we just enjoy the nice day and I end up falling asleep on Lucy's lap in bliss. When I wake up a few hours later I notice it is getting dark and I tell father Deacon "I'm going to take Lucy to her room, see you tomorrow" as he wakes his Pokémon and heads to his hotel when I hear Avary "She is a keeper, don't lose her" as he smiles at me in shock and walks away when I turn I see Lucy a deeper red then I have ever seen as we walk and I say goodnight as she kisses me on the cheek before heading in Next day I feel that I got lucky as I have the first match today in stadium 2 as most wouldn't like it due to the fact you can't find out much about your opponent but to me it's fine as I feel it can cloud your judgement if you can't find a whole picture. As I wait for my opponent to get in position when the announcer speaks Announcer "The qualifying are 3 double battles and if all three are won, the Trainer moves on to the finals to the top 32. For our first match of the day we have Deacon and her opponent Patricia. Trainers call out your Pokémon and wait for the referee to start the match" As I had decided on Baltoy and Creek as they work good together and won't reveal too much as my opponent is surprised as she lets out Altaria and Skarmoury as I plan my strategy.I start with both my Pokémon using rock slide as the rocks start falling out the sky thanks to the sheer amount of them my opponents Pokémon are hurt. As she tells her Pokémon to use Ice beam and flash cannon not wanting to be close to Creek due to his power coming off of his body as I have Baltoy move in-front and use light screen protecting from most damages as some go through hurting them a I call to Baltoy to use heal block on Alteria cutting off roost as I have creek use sandstorm to activate his ability and slow down his my opponent realizes this doesn't seem to be good position and calls for Skarmoury to use steel wing on Creek and Altaria to use sing on Baltoy as I let both attacks hit. When Skarmoury hits you can see Creek hardly feel it as I smile and call for him to use firefang getting a direct hit on his opponent. When Baltoy falls asleep I call for sleep talk as it can be risk thanks to his wide variety of moves as he uses gyro ball and thanks to the sandstrom creates a funnel affect forcing the move to hit Altaria and knocking him my opponent only has Skarmoury left who is heavily damaged and Baltoy is still asleep we leave him be and I call for Creek to end it with stone edge as she tries to get him to dodge but it is to hurt and gets knocked out as well. Referee "Skarmoury and Altaria are unable to continue, the winner is Deacon" As I shake hands with her and tell her it was a great battle, she tells me she used Skarmoury to deal with Baltoy but wasn't expecting another Pokémon like Creek and that I would use Cinder as she saw me with him. As I smiled and said it could have been a good plan. As we walk away I head towards my group in the stands to watch a few more matches before lunch.
Deacon P.O.V As we are watching the next few matches I start to get a little board just sitting as I see the rest are doing fine except Annabelle I get up and say Deacon "Hey Anebel, you want to go to the park, i'm bored just sitting here after having a gun battle" as she lights up Annabelle "Yes, it is nice watching some battles but I rather spend time with my Pokémon"as she follows me before allowing me to drop my Pokémon at the Poke-centre after their battle as they need some refresher. As we head out to the park, I love the feeling of nature and the great weather helps, as I see Cinder in a great mood with Anebel rubbing his head as we walk. When we find a bench to sit and call our Pokémon out I can see a sparkle in her eyes as she watches Sinbad meditating on the gazebo near us. I watch Cinder and Zweilous sleeping in the sun with Anebel's Espeon, lastly I see my energetic Weavile playing with Anebel's Gotherita and Kadabra. Deacon "Sinbad always likes being in higher elevations, as he tells me it makes it easier to commune with nature in the sky."as she has an understanding of it, compared to normal trainers. When she says something that throws me off Anebel "So how long have you been with Lucy, how come she didn't tell me when I saw her last. Do you guys of things on the side" as I don't know where she gets her information from Deacon "It's only been a few weeks, as we have our paths to follow, and thanks for telling me you young prodigy, being all cryptic. All we needed was for each other to know, but more and more are finding out as I can't seem to keep my cool around her now" as she smiles at me Anebel "Finally, I have been waiting since we all met. I knew you guys liked each other since then." I applaud her skills, as I usually try to keep her guessing for practice as I don't want her to face any wrath again as she's a little sister. Deacon "So how are your Pokémon doing, I am guessing they got stronger since we last battled as your Frontier brain now." as she looks a little embarrassed Anebel " Well you know of my great amount of Pokémon at my home, as they are getting stronger and usually make up my sub team. My main team right now is made up of 3 Pokémon as you know Espeon, Metagross and Kadabra, I have a few in mind for the other spots as when Gothorita evolves as she tells me she's close, she will take her spot. Then the other is a secret for when we have to battle as he is close to reaching my requirement of strength as you know. For the final spot, I will keep open for rotation as I don't want to be targeted against many famous trainers" as I smile at her judgement as there are many trainers who either catch many Pokémon and use those they want or those who train a small amount as little as 6 sometimes. Then you have me, I try to train all my Pokémon and thanks to my amount makes it hard to be equal, I try to have those at gramps follow some training plans to get stronger and just hope they follow it. Deacon "That sounds good, you have your skill with psychic Pokémon alright." as she laughs Annabelle "We both know your skill with dark types is even better, it was just a later start for you in actually training your Pokémon. Evidenced by Cinder here, I have never seen one stronger as he well over what people thought possible" as I smile while looking at my buddy, when I notice someone 10 feet in the trees behind us. He seems to have been there for a while confusing me why I just noticed him, as I sense him and throwing my cuff link above him as he falls down. ? "Hey bud what's that for I was sleeping like a Snorlax in my hammock" as I finally found out why I didn't notice him as those in deep sleep have their aura dormant in their bodies if they are normal. Deacon "Sorry about that, I am a little paranoid when I sense someone out of nowhere behind me" As I walk over to recover my cufflink and help him up. My cufflink is very important to me as my father gave them to me to protect myself as my right one is aerodynamic making it able to be thrown with precision and the left one can extend for close combat. ? "I know you, your my opponent tomorrow Deacon right, I am Vance the sleeping specialist" as I look at him and see him in pajamas causing me to remember that Birch saw him in the prelims. Deacon "Nice to meet you then, how has your time been here fun or difficult" as I noticed his aura is still very dormant even when he is awake Vance "It's been fun, they have so many nice places to eat here along with so many nice places to sleep, I have 4 rooms booked in different hotels" as I sweat at that but what I hear next shocks me Anebel "Then why were you sleeping in a hammock just now" Vance "I have places all over the conference to sleep, since I have the money why not, guess I will see you tomorrow" as it is starting to make sense he can act like that when he is out of ear shot Annabelle "While thats a character isn't he" Deacon "Yes quite, wanna find something to eat now" as call our Pokémon back and head out to find something
Deacon P.O.V As I wake up, I have no idea on how my opponent is going to battle, and I don't really care as I know who I am going to use I hear a knock on the door and open to see Lucy and Anebel at the door remembering that they are staying together. Lucy "You know your match is in 30 minutes right" as I look at the time wondering how I slept in as I see Cinder up and ready to go, we head out to the stadium and I just make it and I see Vance again in pajamas who smiles at me and yawns. As we head out to the field and our spots as I hear Announcer "Today marks the 2nd round of qualifying, same rules apply. Contestants call out your Pokémon and begin" I call out Sinbad and Cynder as my opponent calls out Snorlax and Hypno. As Cinder would bite me awake everyday if I don't use him at all as I call for Cinder to use taunt and Sindbad to uses high jump kick as I see my opponent scowl when hears Cinder's move. As Sinbad's move hits his Snorlax, who gets sent flying, surprising my opponent and the crowd due to his immense weight and size. As he gets up my opponent calls for his Snorlax to use body slam on Sinbad and Hypno to use brick break on Cinder. As I see this I call for both my Pokémon to dodge as they are leagues up on my opponent with their physical bodies as I decide to finish it as I call for combination of thunder punch and fire punch on Snorlax. For Cinder to finish Hypno with foul play into crunch as the attacks hit both Pokémon are knocked out at the same time. Referee "Hypno and Snorlax are unable to battle, Deacon wins the battle"as I walk up to my opponent and when I shake hands I tell him Deacon "It was so easy to win thanks to your actions yesterday" at first he was scowling then turned to fear as he walked away. A dinner a few hours later As we are all eating at dinner, we were talking about anything interesting during the matches when Anebel asks Anebel "How come it was so easy for you to finish your battle today, it seemed like you didn't hold back at all like you did in the earlier rounds. Even then your opponent didn't seem the strongest" as I see she saw through me and my style Deacon "I don't hold back against cheaters" As everyone besides father looks at me in shock at this Lucy "Why didn't you report him then, he should be disqualified." Not questioning how I knew as it makes me feel warm on the inside as I feel her aura filled with concern for me as well of anger at him Birch "How did he do it then, knowing you it wouldn't have been normal for you to not report. Meaning little to no evidence" as he is showing his brains of a professor that he does on occasion Deacon "Me and Anebel met him yesterday, first it was to much of a coincidence to meet him as it wasn't long after my match, 2nd piece that told me as he was to open about his specialty in sleep, 3rd as I almost missed the match from sleeping and Cinder was awake like like normal" Birch "What do these tell you" Deacon " These told me had his Hypno used a delayed Hypnosis on me trying to get me to sleep in or be unfocused on the battle when we met, he tried to distract me with sneaking Snorlax in the conservation and the final thing that told me my sleep was unnatural was Cinder as we usually get up at the same time but he woke up early thanks to his special ability early bird that makes him wake up early from sleeping attacks" what I didn't tell him was I singled father to have him tracked with Honchkrow as this didn't seem to end so easily as father single's me he needs to talk tonight. Anebel "That doesn't explain the match being easier than we thought" Deacon "Knowing his plans I started with Taunt making him unable to make my Pokémon fall asleep with that made my Pokémon who are a couple leagues above him defeat him easily" as they accept that when I hear Lucy Lucy " I am still pissed but knowing you, there's already a plan in motion" as she smirks at me and I can see she is a little mad at me for being out of the loop Deacon "You know me so well. Of course sweety"as she becomes happier before I realize I said it out loud in front of everyone who just smile at me when Anebel "Finally it's in the open so you don't need to hide it anymore" as me and Lucy both turn red. After dinner me and father get away saying we needed some bonding time, when we get out of sight and head further until I sense it is safe making sure there's no one like Vance around Avary "So what I could get from Honchkrow without you, after his defeat he met up with some people who didn't look happy with him as they got in some vehicles and he followed them to some building and got some wild flying Pokémon to watch them before he came to report to me then went back." as I know he put a gps on him giving us a location Deacon "We might need some help and I have my match tomorrow giving me no time until night as there is a 2 day break between qualifying and finals giving us enough time to finish it" Avary "That gives us time to prepare and plan. I think the 4 in our group will be enough, what do you think?" as I nod to that thinking the other 2 can be here fast thanks to their situation and freedom.
Deacon P.O.V When I wake up in the morning I know I am not going to get much sleep tonight for the raid but it will be nice to see the old group, I haven't seen them since we went for hunter J. As I look at Cinder and tell him Deacon "You know you are being saved for tonight right"and he looks at me with contempt as he tells me obviously. Making me just smile at his behaviour as we leave to get breakfast as I have my match in 2 hours giving me time to relax and plan for tonight and who to use today for battle. Beginning of the match Announcer " Today has the 3rd and final match of qualifying, in our 5th match of the day in stadium 2 we have Deacon vs Varian, trainers call out your Pokémon and begin" I call out Zweilous and Baltoy as they are not ready for tonight and my opponent calls out Leafeon and Vaporeon making me see my opponent did his research on me, as I think it will not help that much. I hear my opponent call for aurora beam and leaf blade against my Pokémon as I tell Zweilous to counter aurora beam with dark pulse and psychic against Leafeon throwing him in the air making his attack void. While leafeon is flying away his trainer calls for him to use a magical leaf on Baltoy as I call for him to use psychic on the move redirecting it towards Vaporeon as I have Zweilous use dragon-breath on Leafeon before he lands. As the moves hit they are sent into each other as the dust and smoke block the view, as it clears both of my opponents Pokémon are still standing but I can see dragon-breath work as Leafeon is paralysed. As I see my opponent's face I can tell he is planning something as I tell my Pokémon through my aura to fuse psybeam and dragon pulse to attack them as I see his Pokémon prepping a move as he has Vaporeon use hydro pump and Leafeon uses magical leaf as he uses the power behind the water move to increase the cutting power of the magical leaf. As the 2 attacks collide, my Pokémon's moves stop the hydro pump and continue to my opponent's Pokémon, the leaves go around the attack and head towards Baltoy. As I ask Zweilous to move in-front due to his strong body, when both attacks hit you can see that only Baltoy had little to no damage. As I see Zweilous is angry I decide to end this with him using outrage and I have Baltoy power him with swagger as I think in his current state he won't miss, as my opponent tries to block it with leaf blade and aqua tail but those fail as Zweilous over powers them and hits them hit them both Pokémon knocked out as they are sent flying to the back wall, when I see Zweilous walking in circles due to his confused state. Referee " Vaporeon and Leafeon are unable to continue, Deacon wins and advances to the final rounds'' as I smile at my Pokémon when Baltoy goes on top of my head and I try to help Zweilous and results me in getting a headbut to the gut electing laughs from the crowd. As my opponent walks over to me and shakes my hand as well hands me a card Varian ``Great battle, that was an awesome time, I thought I had you there with my Pokémon choice. I am a trainer 1st and a breeder specialising in Eevee 2nd, give me a call if you or any of your friends need any, mine are all of good stock and if you want any special moves or training if you give me time I can get it for you. I find Eevee's evolution line awesome as there are 8 evolved forms that we know of giving them great diversity along with all the different abilities and trainings gives no end to possibilities of them"as I smile at his enthusiasm and promised if such a need arises I will call him, as I walk away to meet my friends. When we meet up I ask if they want to come with me to the Poke-centre as I want to switch Pokémon. At the centre As the rest went to the canteen ordering there food I head to the phone to get ahold of gramps as it rings and he answers Deacon "Hey gramps , I need Ditto and Shin. I will be returning Zweilous and Baltoy that you saw on the tv, yes you can study him I will send you some information about him. They are a little tired from the battle they just had so I could ask if you can restore them as I didn't have time to let them see Nurse Joy." as I see him smiling realising something is going on as their is 2 days until the next round Oak "K, K I can have them in a sec, Shin and Ditto come here now Deacon wants you" as I hear him calling for them as I see them come on screen Deacon "I am sorry Shin, I know you needed some time to train your new move but we got a mission that is why we need Ditto too. Now you Ditto, your favourite target is coming here and he has no idea you are with me" as I see him jump for joy and Shin nod in understanding Oak "If you need help don't be afraid to ask, you know of my connections" as I see his face showing concern. Deacon "Don't worry those 2 in the squad are coming soon, and it shouldn't be too much of a pain as father scouted it earlier when I was battling" as nods at that trusting his judgement as we say goodbye and hang up. When I reach the canteen I see my spot next Lucy as I see a berry Avary ad with soda float. Deacon "Thanks" as I look at Lucy Lucy "No worries, I know you will be heading out soon" getting looks from everyone but father Deacon "No hiding from you is there" seeing her smirk as everyone decides it is better to not ask, seeing my fathers looks after we finish. I say goodbye as I walk with father to his truck, as we head to the meeting place he set up in advance. Secret Location 3r person P.O.V You see 4 men in a room with a map and notes discussing their plan to deal with their enemy, you have Deacon and his father, a young man with red hair and an older man dressed in old ninja clothing with a 2 Spinarak crawling along his body. Avary "Now Lance, you are coming from above with your trusted partner, taking out any escapes from there and all those that run towards you. Deacon as you know through the front door with your prankster as planned. Clan head Shiro makes use of your unique talents to come in where no one expects you to come from. After we apprehend them, try to get evidence of their plans, so we can hand them over to our different backings to end this with them." as they know he is to stay outside with Cinder and capture all those who try to escape.
Deacon P.O.V We are waiting for it to get darker before we start our attack to give us an advantage as we have a few of our flying Pokémon to keep watch and make sure they are not alerted. While I am just watching Ditto mess with Lance as he such an easy target to tease if you know him, Ditto is keep transforming into his Pokémon causing him to keep having to figure which is his and when he hits the wrong one gets attacked by his own Poké I ask Deacon "So how's challenging the elite 4 how far have you gotten, I know Lorelei will be the toughest for you" as he sighs Lance "You know you're a smart alec right, part of the reason I was excited to come here was to get some stress relief. I defeated Bruno and Agatha, I want to face her next, then I will face my grandfather to take his spot as you know." as he looks tired from stress, as I know he will only get this one chance to replace his grandfather Deacon "Why don't you stick around and watch the conference? I can get you a meeting with the new Champion as he is arriving to watch the finals, with another member of the elite 4 of hoenn." Lance "Why not johto and kanto have no champion at the moment and he might let me have a match for practice, I heard he was new as a few weeks ago" Deacon "Yeah, I told you about Steven last time we met right, he can teach you a few things due to his school."as we make some small talk Shiro comes in Shiro ``I wish Koga had a little more ambition with his skills. The boy can be an elite easily" as only can call his son that at easily being 25 to 30. Shiro looks great for his age and moves with such ease as he is over 50, guess perks for being a ninja due to training. As it gets darker we decide to start and I guess my part as being a distraction has to begin when I head towards the building and once we reach the treeline I ask ditto to transform as he gets serious for a change. As we walk towards the entrance I see people inside running around and heading towards the door when someone comes out. Grunt P.O.V We were preparing for plan B thanks to elite officer Varian's failure to make it to the finals and bring our plan to fruition for Team Rocket Hoenn division. I just have to have follow the orders from elite officer Zakiya and do whatever she wants, when we start to hear alarms as I hear Alarm system "Alert alert, 2 people spotted in front of the building, analyzing analyzing 1st person Deacon who beat elite officer Varian and the 2nd person officer Jenny" Executive Zakiya ``Team rocket members we have a person who interfered in our previous plan and now is trying to do it again with member of the police, we have to deal with this grunts 12 to 20 head out to stop him"as I am part of that group I head out with the rest our our squad and see our object to crush release our Pokémon, as I call out my 2 Golbats and Ariados as I see the rest coming out numbering over 30 Pokémon. Before our target calls out a Pokémon we know to fear, Tyranitar and then to our horror officer Jenny turns into one too making us facing down two pseudo legendary Pokémon at once when it starts to rain down rocks on our Pokémon as it just keeps going until there is none of our Pokémon standing before I realize that I can't move something is stopping me before I pass out. Elite officer Zakiya P.O.V As we 3 sit in our meeting room, we are stunned by what we are watching as the guy who beat Varian defeat 8 of our grunts with little to no effort as they couldn't even fight back as we see it was a trap when officer Jenny transforms Zakiya "Varian I thought you already did a background check on the kid, how come it seems so wrong" as I and Messi stare at our compatriot as he glares before saying Varian "While I did do it but there was a few holes we couldn't fill that I messaged hq for, but they didn't get back to me so I just went through with the plan" as we looked at this idiot, not understanding that if we can't find the info that's troubling enough, I decide to use the emergency phone and get answer I explain the situation when I wait to get an answer from them that gets overridden to speaker HQ "All plans cancelled try to escape alone if you must, do not let the Hunter get any information, delete everything and if Varian makes it out he will be punished and demoted due to halting all activities in hoenn" As we listen we now worry what trouble we have gotten ourselves in as we follow the instructions and start the process as we tell the grunts to try and buy us 10 minutes by getting in the way of this so-called Hunter. Shiro P.O.V As I am moving among the ceiling I see that more and more grunts are headed towards the front meaning Deacon is doing his job as I start to look for the computer rooms holding all the data. I just have to find the grunts that are not heading to the front meaning they are in charge of wiping data, as I find one who I am looking for as my 2 Spinaraks move me to follow him as we enter a large room as I notice the man who cheated against Deacon giving orders with his Hypno by his side Varian "You can come out now mr. ninja" as he looks at me as my Pokémon lower me Shiro "Nice job cheater, I don't mind tricks for real life but in a honest competition is despicable" as he laughs Varian "Hey it's all fair it is a tough world out there it's not all" but is stopped as my Shedninja appears using phantom force on his Hypno meaning he was planning an attack thanks to my Pokémon using mind reader since we entered in case of ambush Shiro "True the world is harsh and you will meet those who are better than you" as I have my Spinarak use psychic and string shot on him as I hear him ask Varian "How did you know" before I knock him out and I work on my mission Lance P.O.V As I watch the mayhem that's happening at the entrance since I'm bored thanks to the fact nobody is here yet, it makes me think of the first time I saw him as a brat but I then saw the destruction he caused that made him a friend for life. When I see the door open and a man and women walk out as I hear ? "Since this is Varian's fault he has to stay until it is wiped, right Messi" as he responds with Messi "grunt" who replies ?" Yup yup"as she notices me now as I am standing in-front of the helicopter there escape route Lance "Nice night for a helicopter ride right, names Lance, what's yours" as they call out their Pokémon to my surprise at what they are, for her Lunatone and Banette and from him and Jynx but what happens next shocks both her and me as he and his 2 Pokémon teleport leaving her behind, as I think only Deacon of us could have stopped him. ?" Why did you leave me here you brute, i'm the belle of rocket Zakiya" as I say Lance "Zakiya huh" as she notices her mistake, as I have Dragonite ready and call out Aerodactyl and call for them to start as I call for Ice punch and Ice fang respectively as they go towards my opponent has her Banette use substitute and her Lunatone use reflect but both are broken through like nothing as they get hit taken, as they are sent flying I have them finished off with Ice beam and rock my Pokémon are a couple of levels above hers I win easily as I then tie her up and wait for the signal. Avary P.O.V As I catch a few deserters here and there thanks to Cinder and Sunny as they are both the best at battling at night while Honchkrow is the lookout as I see the numbers dwindling down I am guessing it is almost over as I head towards my son as I am astounded. in-front of him is over at least 3 dozen trainers and I am guessing 100 Pokémon knocked out as he has Shin and Sinbad are tying those knocked out up while Deacon is still busy battling them.
Deacon P.O.V After battling for over an hour it has finally finished as I see Shiro and Lance return with captives and father has his Rhydon dragging a pile of those who try to escape during the chaos. Lance "Good and bad, I have one of the 3 leaders here, but another escaped with teleport before I could even stop him" as it makes sense as Lance doesn't have any tricks to deal with it like me and Shiro. As I see Shiro with Varian Shiro "Varian here is the last of the 3 leaders in Hoenn as it turns out. I have around 85 percent of the data, it was as much as possible before anymore can be wiped" as we all trust him in that as it was more than expected really Deacon "I count over 70 grunts then as I found out they belong to team rocket" getting a surprise reaction from them all as there was no indicator on them and the refused to give a name Avary "That means these guys were cut off from the rest, as they had no knowledge of Deacon as they still tried to mess with him" as we agree with him as he and Lance make a few calls to get these guys picked up. As I walk to the women Lance captured Deacon "Sinbad come here, it is time to find the truth that they could have hidden" surprising them as they haven't seen this from me before, as me and Sinbad connect our aura together with Sinbad psychic energy guide us as we delve her mind as I start to get angry and mad Deacon "It was worse than we thought the plan was to make it to the finals and while everyone is not expecting is Varian would deal with the champion and who is ever with him with a surprise attack of the grunts have been capturing any Pokémon that can cause sleeping conditions to knock everyone in the stadium out to steal everyone's strong Pokémon and take care of the new champion before he becomes a threat." as they realize it is a bigger matter then we all first thought Avary "This data must hold the location of all the grunts still out there and the Pokémon captured, we are going to need and get ahold of the league here after all, I will leave that to you Deacon" as it makes sense as I have the greatest connection to do it, due to Steven. Deacon " Yes father" as we bring all those captured being dragged by our strongest physical Pokémon in a quickly made platform with Tyraniter, fathers rhydon and Shiro's Armaldo, as Ditto rides my shoulder in a good mood with Cinder following and Dragonite watching guard making sure no one has a smart plan. As we make it to the local police station causing an uproar thanks to our sight as Officer jenny and her force come and we explain the situation, as they finally listen we find out their isn't enough room in their jail cells so they call other stations until we have them all locked I ask for the phone to make an important call, while I ring up Steven hoping he is up at this late hour due to his researching of hoenn stones like usual when I finally here the ding indicating it went through as I hear Steven "yawn, Hello Deacon what are you doing calling at this ungodly hour" Deacon "Don't start joking like you weren't already up, we both know if you were a sleep nothing will get you up" Steven "True, so if you called at this hour it must be important" as I explain what happened within the last day as his expression grows serious, as he and the league had no idea this was going on the last few days Steven "I will be their tomorrow I wasn't planning on coming to the final rounds actually start but this needs my attention, can you send me a map image with marks of all the locations of hideouts so I can have the league capture them before they realize what happened here" Deacon "No problem, and father can explain everything and I have a friend that wants to meet you that helped here today" as I see him smile a little Steven "For sure I have to personally thank everyone involved with stopping this and see if I can give them anything they might want" as I smile and hang up. When I reach the other 3 I hear Shiro "I am guessing that this will put an end for team rocket in hoenn for a while" Lance "I think they're here in the first place because of Deacon as I find it ironic he was the one who found out about this plot in the first place" Deacon "Probably, I cost them big twice before in kanto and johto by disrupting their plans, they must've wanted to try and recoup the cost where they didn't think I could reach" as they turn around and see me and just nod as it most likely true as they look at my scar, worried that they failed me. Avary "Doesn't matter as I am guessing you got ahold of Steven as I see you sent him the info from my email, your making me change the password again" as I smirk Deacon "You know I am just going to find it again as soon as I want or need to. Steven is going to go for a wide spread attack getting them all at once tomorrow before they hear what happened here and he will be here in the morning in his private jet"as I hear a whistle because or even a champion doesn't get a private jet that is limited to the truly wealthy Avary "Sounds good then lets get some rest for tomorrow as I booked us all rooms for the night at the hotel to give us some privacy due to all of our unique circumstances" as we follow him and sa good night
Deacon P.O.V As I wake up tired from last night I see Cinder still asleep at the foot of the bed and as I see that it is well past midday and I am getting hungry I wake him up and head to find the rest. As my other Pokémon had a harder time, especially Ditto, I left them at the centre to rest and heal from fatigue. That was their biggest issue to do because we battled for over an hour. Ditto is pretty good as he got better, I can guess he is about 80 percent of the original Pokémon he copies, seeing as we met he was so weak he got bullied by the other Ditto's. I walk to fathers room with Cinder as that is where we agreed to meet when everyone's awake as I reach the door I hear them talking, when I open it and surprise them Lance "You awake sleeping beauty, we had a little problem when we were a sleep the 3rd guy came back and silenced the other 2 leaders" as I grimaced at that info Avary "Good thing is we had most of their plans, thanks to you. The issue is if they knew and still silenced them or their was more secrets that they new about other operations in different regions'' Deacon "I only checked what they were doing in Hoenn. I thought that since they seemed to be in the dark on more recent factors and weren't given the truth. Still I got what to her was the most important information, but we will never know as I think the 3rd guy will be in rush to head to their headquarters in johto to report'' as they nods their heads in agreement Shiro "Got to say wish we had this back with Hunter J, we may have found out beforehand because she resisted all my techniques, making me think she has had training before. I guess this matter continues with you Lance our resident johto connection, mine will not help much with team rocket." Deacon "I am really curious how many people even know of you" as he gets stares from the 3 of us Shiro "Because of my practice and beliefs maybe a dozen know my name, you're the only reason I joined as I was astounded that you noticed with your weird abilities" as I get a message from Steven that he is downstairs and I tell him to come up. While we wait for him to discuss further when we here the knock and he comes in looking haggard Steven "While as of sunrise the rest have been captured and found including the stash of Pokémon who are getting checked out as team rocket over worked some of the Pokémon. Officially making team rocket gone from hoenn for now and answering some of the problems the league has recently been having, thank you 4 very much. Knowing you want your unanimity for various reasons, which the league is happy with but I still think you 4 need some type of awards."as we ponder over this when Shiro starts Shiro "I want some land for my clan, hopefully including a mountain with a creek and or lake. With eligibility for some in it to be able to form a gym, as it is common practice we do for training as evidence by my son Koga and me before him, though I wore a mask and went by wind" Steven "That is doable, the only problem may happen is that the league will have to periodically check to make sure of it's strength and your location may take some time to find to meet your requirements"As Lance continues next Lance "Deacon must of told you what I wanted earlier, now after this I might be a little greedy and ask for an hoenn regional dragon Pokémon as I always like to have more dragon types" as I see Steven looking a little excited as I know he was looking for a good match since becoming champion he has fought a few boring battles Steven"The battle is easy, I can even do better as we can make it an exhibition before the finals of the ever grande conference 3 vs 3. As for dragon types in Hoenn the 3 I can think will suit you would be the Avary amence, Flygon or Altaria but it would be their 1st evolution stage" as Lance looks over their data and says he will decide after their match. Father starts next as he asks Avary "I want to know if you can remove a bounty from somebody" Steven "Depends on what they did to get it, also if they are continuing doing actions that are illegal" as father explains the situation for his ex, and Steven assures him that after a fact check he can make it happen but only for hoenn. As they all look at me now and I say Deacon "I have nothing I really need now, any ideas Steven." Steven ``While I heard a rumour about something if you give me time I might be able to find one that suits you, as this information isn't public yet I can't give any hints but I am sure you will love it" causing us all to guess what it could be. Deacon "I trust you, you also owe me for the fossil by the way" as he gets a little embarrassed that he as a champion and CEO is having trouble finding something for a friend that he would like.
Deacon P.O.V After dealing with the whole mess for 2 days I can finally get ready for my first match, all I know is he is a hoenn native so he will most likely have 1 of the 3 starters. As I talk to Lucy and give some of the details of the last few days and ask for her opinion, all she told me was to use Zweilous first as it can be unexpected along with all the resistance he has, getting me to agree. Making my team Zweilous, Cinder, Weavile, Creek, Shin and Spiritomb getting rid of most of the my opponents work they did beforehand to face me. Since I have 1 day I walk for a few hours in a random direction to get some privacy to train as I have all my Pokémon their own training programs for tomorrow. I start with Cinder as he is easily my strongest Pokémon at this point. He is almost double the size of a regular Houndoom, he has a strong physical body, great control of his fire and dark energy and a few fusion combinations of his moves. What I want to increase is his battle awareness as during battle I see a few of his moves miss resulting in consumption in his energy making him tired more that I look for some wild Pokémon that have great speed and I make a deal with them for giving them great quality food, they will provide targets for him to hit with his attacks. I train Shin and Weavile together as they both have a great understanding of reading their environment thanks to training. I haven't really trained Weavile in combat since his eye is missing and I really needed to teach him depth perception. As for Shin, he hasn't really had as much of this type of training since he evolved, because I wanted to increase his mobility by teaching him how to read the wind in different environments. As I have them use physical moves against each other as I watch them and give them pointers on making close dodges and counter attacking using their opponents moves against them. It is transferring the flow of battle and understanding it and reading it allowing them to win their battles more easily and efficiently. Zweilous is next and is quite easy for him and Creek, as I want Zweilous to practice his moves by controlling the intensity of them on Creek. From it Creeks body gets used to feeling different attacks thanks to his physical body, I need for him to work on shrugging them off so he can attack while getting attacked. Now one of the hardest to train is Spiritomb is one of the hardest to train as he already has great control and his specialty is well trained as well. So I am thinking I will train his accuracy and get him to work on attacking spontaneously from different directions, as I trained him the least personally I decide to help him now by throwing different targets to train his mobility as well. I throw different disposable plates in all directions, while using different attacks to hit them and you can see the progress he makes since the beginning as he was missing around 40 percent and it went down close to 15 my Pokémon are making progress the least being Cinder as I think he needs stronger Pokémon to train against and I won't be able to find those here. Next day When I arrived at the stadium the rest of my group was already at their seats ready to watch and cheer for me as they wished me good luck before. When I hear cheering and the announcer Announcer "What a great battle with Trevor winning a close battle with his opponent. Now for the 2nd match here we have Jay and Deacon who both made it to today with great results and hope for a great match to watch. Now here they come" As me and my opponent walk onto the field to see a full stadium as we reach our respective spots we here the wheel spinning to choose the terrain for the 1st half as it stops on forest when the referee states Referee "This is a 6 on 6 full battle, with the forest biome until 1 trainer has 3 Pokémon knocked out causing it to change" as we prepare to battle and call out our 1st Pokémon As I call out Zweilous and he calls out Xatu I wonder if he did this because he knows my liking of dark type Pokémon and just wants to tire me out. I start by having him use a dark pulse to knock him down to be able to hit him with a crunch, but I underestimate how far he gets as he gets sent farther in. When I hear my opponent use teleport and then use a confused ray as he arrives behind my Pokémon as he starts his move I call for the dragon tail as both hit. While his Pokémon is sent flying towards a tree he uses teleport to minimize damage, while my Pokémon gets confused but I am not worried as he is well versed in it thanks to his favourite move. As I see xatu appear in the sky again this time looking a lot more tired as I hear him call for roost, showing me this is going to be a long battle. As I try I call for him to headbutt a tree to get rid of his confused state then for him to try his new move we have been working on as I call for him to fuse dragon pulse, dark pulse and dragon breath combing the power between them. As it needs some setup my opponent is able to heal fully but not enough time to dodge as he gets hit and we see him fall to the ground knocked out. Referee "Xatu is unable to continue, the match is 6 to 5."as he recalls but to my surprise he starts to shine as he evolves to Hydreigon who is flying around with joy as I feel it radiating off of him, when my opponent calls out his next Pokémon as I see a Sceptile appear looking lean and mean. As I see he wants to make use of this terrain due to his Pokémon's advantage, him being in his natural terrain and all. When I tell him Deacon "Good choice but it won't be enough as I have great confidence in this match up" as I hope my Pokémon can get used to his new body quickly as I don't want to change him at this moment Trevor "This Pokémon has been here with me since the beginning of my journey last year, I trust him with this important match. Even if I have no idea what I am facing here"
Deacon P.O.V As the battle between my Hydreigon and Sceptile starts, my opponent opens with using agility, seeing that I call for Hydreigon to set up as well with work up powering his attacks. As I know my Pokémon will never match Sceptiles speed so ask him to wait for openings to attack allowing some hit's to be taken. As I see my opponents strategy as he uses dual chop which will affect me greatly, while Hydreigon is getting hit's I call for him to use both thunder and fire fang to hold his opponent down when he gets the chance after a few more it my opponent uses mega drain knowing it will hit and healing a little of himself as I call for Hydreigon to use dragon breath at point blank range following into it crunch. As they are forced apart, you can see both Pokémon are hurt as well as Sceptile being paralysed. As me and my opponent look at each other we understand this will be the final clash between the 2 as he calls for x-scissor, smart as it is highly effective, and I call for his favourite outrage as they are heading against each other at their full speed, you can see Sceptile stumble a bit due to paralyse affect when they clash causing an explosion blocking our it is revealed you can see Sceptile knocked out and Hydreigon still up but looking very tired. Referee "Sceptile is unable to continue, Trevor is down to 4 and Deacon at a full 6." As we both recall our Pokémon as I let mine rest, I call out Spiritomb getting a shocked cry from the audience due to many not even knowing my Pokémon as it seems is the same for my opponent. As he calls out a Dusclops, as I call for shadow sneak and to my surprise he starts with a disable and mean look. Limiting my options greatly in this battle as I then call for dark pulse hits damaging my opponent as he calls for a flurry of shadow punch that gets me to use a sucker punch getting my hit in first as we both take the attacks. I greatly underestimated his Pokémon's strength because it did a lot more damage as expected, as we both have them use shadow balls cancelling each other's attacks out. As I want to end this battle I have Spiritomb combine dark pulse and shadow ball greatly empowering them as my opponent tries to dodge with shadow sneak but thanks to Spiritombs understanding of the move can follow him quite easily as more attacks hit my opponent calls out destiny bond causing that when his Pokémon faints mine as well does, making me wonder if that was his plan from the start. Referee "Both Pokémon are unable to continue, Trevor at 3 and Deacon at 5. Causing us to change the field"as we watch the spinning diagram finally land on a rocky field. As I call out Creek who is excited to battle and Trevor calls out Tropius making me smirk as he thinks he has the advantage as he tries to use sunny day and I call for sandstorm blocking it out due to the sheer size and strength he got from his the move both slows Tropius down and causes him damage as I then call for him to use stone edge and thanks to sight being obstructed making it almost impossible to dodge as Creek has the best understanding in fighting this state. As I see Tropius slowly getting up I want to end it as I have Creek use a hyper beam sending his opponent flying before he gets knocked out. Referee "Tropius is unable able to continue, Trevor down to 2 and Deacon at 5" As my opponent calls out a Donphan while I keep Creek in battle as he isn't tired as the sandstorm is still raging. As Trevor starts the battle with the earthquake I counter with Creek using an earthquake of his own, when they meet it destroys the field causing the ground to shake and break apart with boulders getting moved around and reshaping the whole field. I have Creek further mess the field making it harder for my opponent to get with a couple of rock slides as boulders fall down dealing some damga and making sure there is no flat ground around. While I am setting this up my opponent is using hidden power destroying some of the progress that I make as I begin to fear it a little as I see ice form from the impacts. When he calls for rollot using his previous moves as a ramp as he is about to hit Creek I call for iron head to try and stop the momentum, while he hits he fails to stop it as my opponent's Pokémon is still speeding up getting around for a stronger attack. As he is readying to attack again this time I try for Creek to use brick break when they collide. I am very surprised that it fails to stop him again as he keeps increasing his strength. Now a little desperate to stop it as I call for one of his strongest attacks giga impact as he is starting to get tired and damaged, as they are about to collide again I hear my opponents to call for hidden power as he is unleashing the attack while using rollout to combine the smoke clears I can see to my surprise Creek knocked out and Dolphin barely standing and tired. Referee "Tyranitar is unable to battle, Trevor has 2 Pokémon left to Deacon 4" I am still a little astounded, but I guess I was a little arrogant in this match. I see the sandstorm die a little down. I want to end the match with my next Pokémon as I call out Weavile. As few have seen him and even fewer have seen him battle, as my opponent calls back his Donphan to give him some rest as he calls out Roserade making me feel more confident again.I first want to set the terrain to benefit us as I call for Weavile to use hail and then hit the field with ice beam while he dodging the energy balls coming from his opponent. When the field is finally set for him I see Roserade is having trouble moving as she tries to adjust while my opponent is getting frustrated as Weavile is gliding around his Pokémon. I start to have Weavile using both Ice punch and poison jab at his Pokémon building damage as I don't want him to get hit. I keep it up with light attacks not letting him get into a rhythm as he keeps trying to hit with an energy ball and mega drain. When I have Weavile finish him when I call for him to use a powered up Ice punch with sword dance as he smashes towards the ice knocking him out. Referee "Roserade is unable to continue, Trevor is on his last Pokémon while Deacon is on 4" Trevor recalls his Roserade while he calls back out his Donphan who is still tired from his last battle, while my Weavile has taken no damage. With the field covered with Ice you can see him having difficulty as I have Weavile take advantage of that by blowing him around with a blizzard letting him have no footing. My opponent, tired of all the ice, tries to end it with an earthquake as I have Weavile use the frozen borders as a ramp to fly in the air avoiding taking any damage as the ice starts to crack up, losing its smoothness. I have weavile use its momentum to increase the power of ice punch as he heads straight towards Donphan as I have him increase it further with brick break as my opponent tries to counter it with gyro ball. As they clash Weavile comes on top and breaks through the gyro ball and send Donphan crashing into the ground causing ice shards to be flying everywhere. On the field you can see Weavile standing proudly over his defeated opponent.
Deacon P.O.V After the battle I head to the Poke-centre to heal my Pokémon and give them a rest while transfering 2 for the next round, when I am done I head back to find a seat with my friends to watch a few future I reach them Lucy gives me a hug and Lucy "That was a great match Deacon, you only lost 2 Pokémon in that match" as she smiles at me Deacon "He had me figured a little, but thanks to your suggestion it threw him off by a lot, but in my opinion I think Creek should have won that match or should have been closer. His Donphan has been really well trained, making me wonder if he has any other ground Pokémon as his strategy with him was different to what I have seen of similar Pokémon and has given me a few ideas" seeing a little shocked faces from them Birch "True, honestly I think that his Sceptile and Donphan were the strongest from his team, it was just because he was thrown off majorly first of the Pokémon he never saw before then how his battle style changed from evolving. I am guessing you are transferring him back to Oaks to let him get used to the changes right" as I nod in agreement Avary "I have seen a lot of Donphans and honestly it wasn't the strongest one I have ever seen, it was his training and strategy with him that is where his genius comes in. I am guessing you told him to build on that right soon." Deacon "Yeah he has potential for being gym leader level to elite level if finds his own battle style, he has a few options but it will involve training a few new Pokémon from scratch. Anyways, have I missed anything interesting while I was healing my Pokémon" as we turn to watch the match again." as I see a Swampert facing Ludicolo making a good match. Lucy "The best is this one so far, the trainer with the Ludicolo is a water specialist and his opponent is power trainer, letting all his Pokémon take hits and try to dish out stronger ones back and he's on his last one right now while the water specialist has 2 unseen so far." as we see the Ludicolo win with mega drain as he looks good as new while his opponent Pokémon fainted when I hear the announcer Announcer " Lake wins with 3 Pokémon left and advances to the next round" as we hear applause. We watch a few more matches before leaving to grab dinner as it is getting late, when I see Lance and Steven walking ahead of us in discussion and I call out to them Deacon "Steven, Lance look behind you" as they turn around and smile at us and wait for us to walk up to them Steven "We were just talking about our match we are going to have, we decided to keep it a surprise partly because we want to not be bugged by the media to much. Also Deacon this is perfect a friend of mine who wants to meet you is having dinner with me and Lance right now, where I am guessing you are going, due to your hungry expression" causing everyone but me to laugh as I hate missing meals due to a pass event. As we haven't plAnned to eat anywhere specific, we decide to go with them as they booked a private room. While we are walking towards the restaurant we have small talk as Lance congratulates me on my win, as he hasn't seen Spiritomb he was a little upset at his battle. When we reach the restaurant, we get greeted and directed to our room. As the waiter opens the door and see our dinner companion recognizing him when I hear Lucy besides me sigh and grumble Lucy "Why him" as I look at her curious at her reaction when I hear Sidney "Luc I what a delight to see you again, come sit beside me and we can catch up." as smiles first before seeing Lucy holding my arm and begins scowling when he sees who I am Lucy "How many times do I have to tell you, I find you very annoying and an arrogant prick" as I am a little shocked but then begin to scowl back at him as me and Lucy sit on the other side of the table and the rest sit down Sidney "Come on it was love at first sight right, you must have felt it too. I am way better than this late blooming newbie trainer" as this elects glares not just from me but almost the whole table Steven "I told you she was taken by my friend for you to give up, he might have started his journey later but let me tell you this, even at his age I would have a very tough time battling him, let alone you" as Lance continues Lance "I don't think you can even compare to my friend here, let alone me if you continue talking like this" as Sidney is first shocked at Steven telling him this and when Lance continues he scowls again Sidney "I can take from Steven, as I know him and he is the champion right now. But you I don't know you and I want a fight to prove you aren't all that" as this gets shocks from all of us as Lance is pretty well known in all the regions by now as he might become an elite 4 of one of the toughest regions right now under those 2 monsters. Steven "You know the rules Sidney, but I want to watch this too. So I will allow it tomorrow after the conference I will book the stadium to be private so only few can see the match" as he smiles at them Lance "Fine by me, I just hope you challenge me a little" as he smirks at him Sidney "Yeah, yeah little guy. Now you old newbie, if by some miracle you make win the finals I want a 3 on 3 match with the winner getting Lucy" as that gets a glare from me and Lucy Lucy "No way you prick I would ever go out with you" as I continue Deacon "Not for Lucy, as you have no right. I will battle you but just to shut you up sir elite prick" getting a giggle from Lucy and a deeper glare from Sidney as he walks out not in the mood to eat any more. As we eat and after I get my Pokémon back from Nurse Joy and walk Lucy back before heading to bed pissed wondering if I hate him or Hunter J more. Next day As I am standing on the battlefield as it is an Icy terrain I look at the VIP box before I call out my Pokémon, as Absol appears at the same time my opponent a blonde female name Pinky calls out Breloom as she looks confident due to type advantage as we hear the referee tell us to begin. I start out with Sword dance to power his attacks more as she calls out to the mine reader when her Pokémon finishes the move he looks scared trying to tell her to slow down which she doesn't notice as she calls for Dynamic punch. I smile at her playing right into my hand as I call for Absol to use the aerial ace that I recently taught him as he combines it with a quick attack to out speed her Pokémon as it hits him, sending him flying to the back wall and knocking him out. Seeing my opponent with a look of disbelief as the referee says Referee "Breloom is unable to continue, Deacon has his full 6 to his opponents 5" as I tell her Deacon "You forgot about the icy field. It lowers his speed and lowers the effects of his 2 abilities unless he has the 3rd which makes you move less smart" as she looks lost in the 2nd part.
Sidney P.O.V As I was thinking of yesterday, at first I was happy to see Lucy again after a year and was hoping to see her more when I remembered that Steven told me about his good friend. At first I thought it was just another rich kid from he knew from his fathers circles and that made me a little angry as I had to work for my position as my father gave me no help making me catch my first Pokémon in the mountains by myself even though he is a gym leader at the time before he retired from sinnoh. When I said something I saw I made a mistake as everyone defended him but I couldn't take it when they said he was that much better than me, the dark genius, as events followed causing me to leave early. When I got back to my hotel and did a little research of his hoenn records that was all I could find officially and it makes a little angry on his similarity in our specialties only he isn't limited as I am in regional Pokémon making me think I should add my buddy that's not on my main team. As his match begins I see him look in my direction and release his Pokémon and it gets me a little angry as he calls out my first partner to make a point at me. As I watch him demolish his first opponent Pokémon making me see he trained his Pokémon for different conditions similar to mine as they look to be close in strength when I hear a knock at the door. As it opens up and reveals Steven Steven "You know you're the closest to me on the elite 4 right, while let me tell you this. That Absol of his he has had less than 2 months and look at its strength, he has trained it really well as you can tell I am guessing that he has at least doubled his battling capabilities. Deacon is a trainer who focuses his Pokémon to follow what he thinks is best causing him to have many different batting styles. I will tell you this his Absol at this point is not even close to his strongest Pokémon the one by his side" Sidney "That can't be, as I know his Houndoom looks even stronger than any normal one. I was wondering about his strength, if you had to battle him honesty what's the odds of you winning" as Steven is pondering over it Steven "I honestly think it's 50/50 due to the fact of his type advantage at the moment, in 4 to 5 years he can be stronger than me if nothing changes on my team, but he gave me reason to think why limit myself to regions. I love steel types making it hard sometimes but due to that fact it is sometimes limiting." as I agree to that after learning over the past year of being an elite 4 that many in our position are limiting themselves making it harder to break the champion level or even higher as those very few monsters'' as we look at each other in agreement as we look back down and see Deacon still with Absol but a-lot more tired and them getting ready to change the field. Deacon P.O.V As I proved my point with Absol as I want him to now rest after battling an Volbeat and Dodrio as the field changes to grass field. As I call out Slash who is finally used to his new form of Shifty awaiting his first battle since evolving as my opponent calls out a jigglypuff happy with a little advantage. As she starts the battle as I predicted with sing as I call for sunny day to hopefully take effect before he falls asleep, as it works jigglypuff starts to use brick break on my sleeping Slash after a few attacks he wakes up causing her to be surprised as I then call for him to use toxic then double team letting that move take affect to deal with his opponent high health. Shiftry just has to keep dodging when she tries to keep using teleport trying to catch him but due to his amazing speed coupled with his other ability makes him almost impossible to catch as it goes on. I then see that my opponent only has physical moves besides singing as he tries to heal the poison with rest as I call for him to interrupt him with fake out. Then to knock him out x-scissor when he is in range Referee "jigglypuff is unable to continue, Deacon at 6 and Pinky has 2 Pokémon left." Shiftry is still pretty much fine as he only took a few hits, when my opponent calls out a Flygon and starts the battle with dragon dance to increase his strengths when I call out Solarbeam that has the speed increase thanks the diminishing sunny weather as he unleashes the attacks when my opponent tries to dodge causing only the attack to only graze still doing some great damage. As she calls for dragon rush I decide to test the water with a leaf blade as they collide. My opponent comes out a little on top much to her surprise as I am guessing she thought with the powered up move she was going to crush him. I call for Slash to use a double team to increase his ability to dodge, as my opponent tries to use dragon tail to deal with his speed as he keeps taking damage from leaf blades as they attack each other and causing them to each connect a few times. As both Pokémon are starting to get hurt and tired from the confrontation as she smiles when calling for roost but as I call for giga drain getting rid of all the energy he just regained as he heals himself. As Flygon is tired and hurt the Pinky decides to retire him from the battle Referee " Flygon has been retired by his trainer, resulting in Pinky only having 1 Pokémon left" As I applaud her for thinking of the condition of her Pokémon first insead of winning, so does the crowd. As she calls out her final Pokémon to my surprise was a Houndoom, getting a look of interest from Cinder beside me. I see Slash excited to face one again as he lost quite badly as a Nuzleaf from Cinder before I had caught him. Knowing he is well prepared for this match I have him continue getting some curious stares. As she starts the battle with work up a smart move as I have Slash use double team again as she calls for heat waves sending it in all directions to counter it and deal damage. I hastily called for a substitute to save him from being knocked out. With some damage taken I call for low sleep following his strategy as he closes in she calls for counter hitting Slash hard and sending him flying. As I tell him to calm down and be smart he doesn't listen to me and fires off a focus blast mid air sending himself off course and getting knocked out after hitting the wall of the stadium. As I promise to fix his attitude after he is healed when the referee announces Referee " Shiftry is unable to continue, Deacon is at 5 Pokémon and Pinky at 1"
Deacon P.O.V As I decide who to call out next, I see Cinder jumping onto the battlefield ready to go as he tells me that he wants to face this Houndoom in-front of him even though he towers over him. But I guess there is a rivalry between Pokémon sometimes and I know Cinder has a somewhat arrogant attitude but I agree he has proven that he earned it. As she smiles at this making me guess this is the most important battle of this whole match to her, causing me not to hold back as I allow her to attack first. As she tries to use toxic as I call for Cinder to use flame charge to increase his speed as he dodges, then I have him to use flamethrower fused with dark pulse as she is shocked at the combination she probably has never seen before as she calls for substitute take the brunt of the damage and ties to use sludge bomb as I again increase his speed with flame charge to dodge the attack as I decide to end it now with something new I taught him after Regice as I call for him to use Iron tail powered up with flame charge not giving my opponent time to react as her Pokémon is sent flying and knocked out. Referee "Pinky's Houndoom is unable to continue, Deacon wins the match" as I walk over to Cinder to rub his head as I tell him he did a great job as I see Pinky walk up to me Pinky "Your Houndoom is something else compared to my trusted Shadow here" as she rubs her awakened Houndoom on the head matching me Deacon "He is really well trained being able to take Slash like that, even with his type disadvantage he has trained specifically Houndoom thanks to this guy here, it is interesting how yours is trained to have a more defensive way to battle and make use of his already strong damage dealers to win. I have to say with a little arrogance that my Cinder is the strongest of his kind, from my research he has broken his limit more than once and that's saying something." as she looks at me a little confused Pinky "Whats a limit, I thought all Pokémon can have no limit" as I look at her and trust to give her some of my private ideas as I say for her to follow me to the Poke-centre and she agrees as we are walking I tell her Deacon "A lot of Pokémon can become very strong, but in my opinion they have limits or a better word is threshold that they can have, limiting how strong they can be. In my thoughts there are ways to break those limits with either will power, heart and/or other circumstances that forces them in a way to become stronger. They should overcome it naturally as any man made forced strengthening such as using science or dangerous materials cause more problems, such things can cause Pokémon to go berserk. In theory if one trains ones Pokémon's to their limit then evolves them it both allows them to break it and prevent the berserk state found in strong Pokémon lineage." Pinky "That doesn't seem all you know, are you holding something back" as I smirk at her intuition Deacon " While I think there can be different aspects of limits, such as physical or control, all aspects of Pokémon can be broken through. It could be seen in elite 4 or champion level Pokémon as there circumstances can cause this and explain a little on there strength, pseudo legendaries can be ones who are naturally born with breaking their limits causing their status to be compared to Legendaries'' as she looks deep in thought and then tells me Pinky "I wish I had my full main team but they weren't finished healing from the previous battle and I only had jigglypuff and Shadow my first partner" as I just smile a little at the excuse cause even with her main team I would have won when I hear Lucy "their you are Deacon, I was looking for you" as she runs up to us and grabs my arm and looks at Pinky "Why are with her" as I explain to her and meet her standards Pinky "Who's this lady, your girlfriend Deacon" as Lucy blushes Deacon "Yeah, this is Lucy a frontier brain of that new facility mainly based in kanto and johto" as she thinks where she heard it then exclaims Pinky "I know that place, I saw it on tv you have to introduce me to Tucker he is so cool" as this gets a smile from Lucy and agrees to get a meeting for them. When we reach the centre we go our separate ways as I hear Lance in the back training field I go over to watch whatever he doing as I see his Charizard, Aerodactyl and Dragonite in a circle as I call to him Deacon "What are you doing, your match is coming up soon" as he turns to me and ask Lance "Honestly I don't know who to use here, as I want to keep Dragonite a surprise for Stevens match and it's between these 2 and they both want to battle" as I look at them and say Deacon "He is mostly dark types like me, he won't use Sharpedo, I am also guessing he won't use his Absol due to the fact he looks down on you so most likely it will be between Mightyena, Shiftry and Cacturne. I know you dislike type advantage so why not make it even with Aerodactyl'' Lance "Sounds good, I will trust your judgement then, let's head out then" as he is looking confident as us 4 walk back towards the stadium Steven booked for it. As we enter the field we all are here who are supposed to be. Sidney "So it will be one on one who's the ref" as we look at each other and decide Steven will be fair as they start the match and a little to my surprise he calls out his Shiftry while smirking at me when Lance calls out his Aerodactyl get looks from those who didn't know he had starts the battle with sword dance as Aerodactyl uses supersonic to throw the him off as he gets confused as Lance continues with fire fang. Sindey tries to get away with double team but due to confusion fails as he gets hit and to his bad luck burned but it causes him to smile a little. As his Shiftry breaks from his confused state due to being burned as he calls for Leaf storm and Lance counters for flamethrower as it destroys the attack and continues towards his opponent dealing more damage. As his Pokémon is really hurt he calls out Facade that is twice as powerful due to being burned as it hits Aerodactyl and sends him flying as they collide. When the smoke clears you can see both Pokémon hurt and tired but still ready to go as both trainers call for Giga impact to end the battle as they are charging against each other as they collide again and an explosion forms blocking everyone's views. This time you can see Aerodactyl flying hazardly and Shiftry knocked out on the ground as both trainers recall their Pokémon and shake hands for no hard feelings. As They showed each other their strength and it's me who Sidney really doesn't like.
Deacon P.O.V After their match everybody went their separate ways allowing for me to prepare for tomorrow as I am facing that water specialist with the strong Ludicolo I saw from before. Causing me to have a premonition of fate causing me to change my team a little bit, while looking at Cinder who looks at me and knowing at what I am thinking glares telling me to put that idea out of my head. As I head to the Poke-centre to talk to gramps when I enter and reach the phone to call him as it rings and he answers Oak's "Nice battle today Deacon, her Houndoom was well trained I am guessing for your fondness of her style you gave her some pointer or tips" Deacon "For sure, more people need to be aware of how they limit themselves and their Pokémon. On that note I want to change some Pokémon for tomorrow, I am guessing you know who" as he looks at me and thinks of my opponent tomorrow and nods Oak "Sure no problem and Hydrogenation is a marvel to study, he seems different to the rest of the dragon types I have seen so far" as he walks away and transfers the Pokémon I need for tomorrow as I thank him and head out back to tell them the plans for tomorrow, as I only know 4 of her Pokémon giving me some unknown but little worry. Next day As I make my way to the stadium I feel quite confident in my strategy for today. When I reach the door and enter the field I see my opponent already there ready as I am just a tad late. As I hear the announcer Announcer "Now that both trainers are here we can start our Quarter Finals, with Deacon on the red side and Lake on the green side. It is a full battle with a field change after the first trainer with 3 Pokémon is knocked out, now let us spin for the field" as we watch the screen that will determine the field as it comes up as the water field causing my opponent to smile. As the field is changing we can see the field appearing with floating platforms for Pokémon who can't swim or at least battle while swimming. My first Pokémon for this battle is Dash and my opponent calls out Kingdra as we wait for the Referee to start the match, as we listen to the usual rules and then we finally get the signal to start. I start with an aqua jet into poison fang as she uses smokescreen to block our vision and allowing her to dodge as I see Dash jump out of the water as he cant he is in the air I call for him to use aqua jet to hit the water to clear water and see our target, when it clears you can see Kingdra setting up hydro pump making me see her plan and confirming her ability as the attack is unleashed and hits Dash causing bubbles to form blocking our view as I just look confident as he appears with barely a scratch. Thanks to his training regimen increasing his defence with his scales allowing for him to last longer letting his speed increase throughout the I have him increase the power behind poison fang with crunch and head straight towards kingdra as he clamps on not allowing for his opponent to get away. Lake tries to get her Pokémon to escape by using scald but I counter it as I have him use an ice beam while still biting onto his opponent making it point blank range. As they separate you see Kingdra slowly float up to the surface of the water with a dash circling around her in victory, her weird ritual after every victory. Referee "Kingdra is unable to continue, Lake is down to 5 while Deacon is at full strength" as she recalls her Pokémon and yells over to me Lake "I have never seen a Sharpedo like that, such a strong defence and physical body, but you got a little lucky Kingdra's ability didn't kick in as I think it would have been a different ball game. Also it is a beautiful colour making a dream for many trainers to want more so for females due to him being Pink" Deacon "Thanks, I trained him well after saving him and he has followed what I have asked of him the most out of the majority of my Pokémon." as I smile as he looks at me from the water, When she calls out her next Pokémon it surprises me as it's a shiny Crawdaunt as she tells me it's in honor of my Pokémon, as she calls for a brick break as she tries to hit Dash. As Dash just out speeds him, causing her Crawdaunt to get frustrated as she calls for an ice beam trying to direct Dash towards him. In response I call for Dash to use aqua jet and dark slash straight towards his opponent as she calls for another brick break to counter it as they both crash into each other and end up hurt from the exchange. As she calls for harden as I see she is setting up I oblige her and call for agility to maximise his speed at this point as I get him to use poison fang, as she calls for harden again. Seeing that she is going for the long battle, you can see Dash swimming around Crawdaunt using poison fang while taking hits from brick break on occasion. When I finally see my objective as I see her Pokémon Poisoned as we both know unless she can win fast this battle is mine, causing her to keep using aqua jet with brick break her most effective move against me. While I just keep Dash out of distance of attack with his speed, due to his somewhat weaker attack when compared to his speed and defence as he is getting a little more tired. As I see Lake looking at the battlefield and then see she has decided on something as she calls for Aqua jet into guillotine trying to end the battle as I try to get Dash to dodge but it is to late as he gets hit and as result knocked out, by a very tired and hurt Crawdaunt who then succumbs to exhaustion, Referee " Crawdaunt and Sharpedo are unable to continue, Lake is down to 4 and Deacon is down to 5" While we both recall our Pokémon as I wonder who she will call next as I call out next as I let out Creek as everyone just looks at me like I am foolish as I grin on the inside, as Lake calls out a surprisingly small Gyarados looking confident.I start Creek out with rock slide while he is on the platform towards the Pokémon hiding in the water as the rocks start into the water. When Gyarados comes out screaming as you can see a few marks on his body, as Lake calls for her Pokémon to use an aqua tail as I tell Creek to allow himself to get hit and to grab onto his opponent. As he takes the hit he gets less damage than Lake expected as she sees her Pokémon isn't able to get out of Creeks grasps as I tell him to use thunderbolt while holding onto him as you see Gyarados thrashing from pain. Lake then tries to get her Pokémon to use Ice beam but I tell Creek to jump into the water and he is happy to do so, while seeing my opponent looks confused as I get him to use thunderbolt again but this time amplified due to being in the water. As the surface of the water is covered by waves as I see Creek happily swimming and Gyarados still moving but obviously slower as Lake knows Gyarados won't be able to win she wants to at least even it a little as she tries to attack one last time with hyper beam as I get Creek to do the same as his move overpowers his opponent and ends the battle. Referee Gyarados is unable to continue, Lake is down to 3 and Deacon still at 5. We are taking a little break to change the field to a grass one" as we wait and I hear lake Lake " I have never seen a Tyranitar quite like that one" as I smile Deacon "He always likes to swim now at this point his body is impervious to most normal water attacks and a lot of the stronger ones are mitigated when it reaches him" as she just looks at me with a tired expression.
Deacon P.O.V When they finally change the field as we begin the 2nd part of our match as she calls out the last Pokémon I know of Ludicolo making me recall Creek and call out another Pokémon my alolan Muk or as I call him Lucky. As the crowd and my opponent are shocked as they have never seen a Muk like this before, my opponent starts with a rain dance as she is preparing. I call for toxic as it hits, letting me know this match is mine while she frowns. As she tries calls for hydro pump as I just let it hit, thanks to his great defence and skills take little to know damage as I make use of the elasticity his body to send him flying toward Ludicolo while using gunk shot. As he is flying towards his target, I can Lake looking shocked at this reverAvary When Luck smashes into him and envelops before getting off as Ludicolo gets knocked out Referee "Ludicolo is unable to continue, Lake is down to 2 Pokémon and Deacon is at 5 left." Lake "I have never seen a Muk like that how is he like that" as I smile Deacon " It's from a region called ahola and are this colour thanks to the different pollution that is found there" as she nods and is probably going to look into it As we restart the match she calls out to Starmie , getting a smile from me thanks to the little information I decided not to tell. As she tries to use psychic while I know it won't take affect on him I call for Lucky to use crunch as he just ignore the attack and latches on, getting a shocked look from the majority of the crowded as it's not what is she tries again I tell him to throw multiple shadow punches as her Pokémon takes a lot of damage, she calls for ice beam trying to freeze Lucky down to the grown allowing for more hits. I was prepared for such things from my opponents as I thanked his parentage as I told him through my aura to use shadow sneak to knock off from behind as he smashed Starmie into the ground. As I look at the leader of my Alolan Pokémon thinking about how I first met him as he was eating the most food and all it took was guarantee of a large amount of food when he was still a Grimer. Referee "Starmie is unable to continue, Lake is down to 1 and Deacon at 5" as Lake asks me Lake " why didn't psychic work" Deacon " Guess I can tell you thanks to aloha unique characteristics, some Pokémon have gained the dark type attribute" as she nods at Lake "while this last Pokémon isn't going to be as easy as this" As she calls out her final team member, when I see a large Walrein appears and I mean bigger then normal easily as she calls for a move I never expected, sheer cold. Lucky needs to take a hit to gain great speed causing him to get hit and as a result knocked out. Referee " Muk is unable to continue, Lake is at 1 while Deacon has 4 left" Deacon "I wasn't expecting that, nice though as I was, planning on using toxic" Lake "Thanks, he was with me since the beginning, and he just keeps on getting stronger and stronger" As I decide to call out Creek again, hopefully he has gotten enough rest when I see disappointment on his face when he sees all the water gone. As i start with brick break she counters with blizzard as he tries to break through with his strong body but as the move piles on it causes ice to form on the ground by his feat getting him to lose footing and sent shooting backward. As he tries to get closer to him he keeps sending him back as I decide to use earthquakes to disrupt him when I call for him to run and use Iron head, when she stabilizes and keeps using ice balls as they get stronger as they hit causing more damage. He finally gets close enough to hit sending his opponent back a little, before she calls for brine dealing a lot of damage from a powered up move like that as she sends Creek flying into the air and while he is flying she'd calls for ice beam at him, when he lands and smoke covers the battlefield before showing a knocked out Walrein. Referee " Tyranitar is unable to continue, Lake is at 1 and Deacon at 3" As I decide to end this as I call for Spiritomb, when he enters the shadow right away getting ready to surprise attack as I call for wil-o-wisp both burning him and lowering her Pokémon's attacking power. She tries to use rest, but I stop it with taunt not letting Walrein to use non attacking moves causing Lake great frustration as she tries firing multiple ice beams but thanks to hiding in the shadows they all miss and give more places to hide as the field is covered with ice structures instead of the grassy terrain. As I get Spiritomb to use sunny days both to weaken her water moves but also to create more shadows and glaring as the sun hits the tries to use rockslide to destroy everything but only creates quite a few boulders on the field. As I want to end it now I call for Spiritomb to use hypnosis as he continues using dream eater drawing energy and causing a lot more damage before his opponent is knocked out. As we recall our Pokémon and shake hands as the crowd goes crazy. Referee "Lake has no Pokémon left making Deacon the winner and advancing to the semi finals." Deacon " Great battle, your Pokémon were well trained, one of the toughest official matches I have had in Hoenn." Lake "Thank you very much. You gave me a lot to think about on how to get better"
Deacon P.O.V While I enjoyed the battle I am starting to get a little tired of this tournament, and hope I can enjoy it with something new with my next round but there isn't much excitement coming from me when I hear what Lucy tells me on our walk after lunch. Lucy "So I know you aren't going to be to happy with this but your next match is against a bug master from sinnoh, good news he might be a better battle then an average bug trainer for you" as she hears me grumble as she knows even with bug having an advantage over the majority of my team thanks to Cinder and Creek I almost never lose against them. Deacon " This is going to take the fun out of tomorrow, might as well change a few Pokémon for tomorrow to make it a little more interesting" promising myself not to use Cinder unless I am down 3 Pokémon as I enjoy my time with Lucy while we make some small talk. After we are done walking I take her to the place she shares with Anebel before deciding to head to the park after retrieving my Pokémon from the Poke-centre. When I reach the park I enjoy the fresh air with Cinder on the bench as we talk and I can tell he is pissed at me because I am not using him first tomorrow as he loves battling the only thing more then getting his head scratched. When his head turns up and I see him looking in a direction and ask him what he sees while activating my aura, when I feel a Pokémon in pain crying out as I tell Cinder to lead me to him. As we were walking I hear a voice behind me ? "Is it you hurting that Pokémon'' as I turn around and see my opponent for tomorrow as I say Deacon "No, my pal here heard the cries of a Pokémon and I came to help. How are you here Aaron" as he looks at me surprised and nods Aaron "Someone as great as me must have my name known" as I just shake my head is kinda reminds me of my cousin even with how little I hear from him Deacon "No, your my opponent tomorrow, and you didn't answer my question" as he looks a little shocked and embarrassed for his lack of research Aaron "While when I am not training I let some of my Pokémon roam a little allowing for some freedom, when my pal here came to get me as he signaled a Pokémon is being abused" as a Scizor appears beside him before I get angry from what he said Deacon "let's go then, how far away" as I look at Scizor getting a curious look from Aaron before I hear him through my aura that they are half a mile north, causing me to set off with Aaron right behind and Cinder leading. When we make it to a clearing we can see a trainer dressed like a punk abusing a Nincada that is a shiny coloring, as I get mad seeing him using a Charmeleon to abuse a young Pokémon. Aaron "That was my opponent from yesterday, he was arrogant and used a bunch of sub par fire types that he hasn't really trained to face me with type advantage. I'm guessing you already know that when a true trainer fights, typing isn't the only important aspect. When he lost he screaming how he can lose to a bunch of weak bugs"as it starts to form why he is doing this as I call for Cinder to use flamethrower on his Pokémon and I run at the trainer before knocking him out with one punch along with his Pokémon, surprising Aaron. Who then rushes to heal the injured Pokémon with a hyper potion, who slowly recovers before seeing our 2 faces as feels my aura and knows we are just trying to help. As he first jumps on me then on Aaron as I can feel him thanking us for saving him as I feel him wants to join one of us. Deacon "I call to catch him first" as he looks at me and laughs Aaron "Nope, I get him. I am the bug type master, am i not" as I laugh at him as I see Cinder looking at us like idiots while his Sizor is tying up the idiot I knocked out. When I see the little Nincada just looking at us with expectations making me think it is unfair to make him decide when I get an idea as does Aaronseems to also both in sync "How about the winner tomorrow gets the rights' ' as we look at each other and laugh again as this guy seems like brings the best in people as we nod and fist bump. While Aaron agrees to send the guy to the police, we seperate as I get back and decide to get some sleep for tomorrow with Nincada sleeping on Cinder's back. Next day at the stadium As we are getting ready for our match to start we leave Nincada with Lucy to look after as she is more than happy to have made great friends with her Vulpix for some strange reason. As we are waiting for the other Semi to finish we just make some small talk, with people giving us looks as if it looks like we aren't taking this seriously seeing us talk carfree with our opponents. When we finally hear the announcer announce the winner as Vasto who came out with only one Pokémon knocked out. Causing me and Aaron to look at each other and head to the battlefield to our respective sides, as we wait for the announcer to start his usual stuff. Announcer "Now for the other Semi final we have the unpredictable Deacon and the bug master Aaron, it is a full 6 on 6 battle. Trainers call out your Pokémon'' as we follow as I call out Crash (Metang) and Aaron calls out Masquerain as we both just look at each other making me think this was his Cinder counter Referee "Okay trainers you can start" As I have the honor of starting as I call out agility as he tries to use scary face, clearly he doesn't know of his ability and I won't tell. As I have Crash use zen headbut as he appears in-front of his opponent before smashing into him getting him a little dazed as it's 2nd effect appears as he flinches allowing for multiple bullet punches to hit. As Aaron calls for bug buzz, as it hits Crash just shrugs it off as I get him to use iron defence increasing his already strong physical I boosted his speed and defence he is ready to go for the finish as I call meteor mash as my opponent tries to a last ditch effort with multiple energy balls, but fails to stop him as Crash sends his opponent to the ground knocking him out. Referee "Masquerain is unable to continue, Aaron is down one while Deacon is still with full strength." As I see Aaron smile before return his Pokémon and thanking him and calling out his next Pokémon to my surprise is Heracross with him knowing the typing disadvantage. He start right away with close combat hoping to deal with the slightly tired Crash as he hits, I have Crash use zen headbutt during it as they are in combat with each other. As he uses counter on the last zen headbutt, dealing a good amount of damage. As I want to end the battle with as little damage as possible, I call for psychic to keep his distance. Aaron makes use of it calling for focus blast as his Pokémon his being sent far away, Crash gets hit by the attack and sent crashing into the wall as does his opponent. While Heracorss is knocked out, I see that Crash's problem is acting up again as he is ramming his head into the wall to everyone but me and Anebel shock, before knocking himself out. Referee "Metang and Heracross are both unable to battle, Aaron is down to 4 and Deacon is at 5"
Deacon P.O.V As I call out my next Pokémon that is Creek who is looking happy at being able to fight, as my opponent calls out his Scizor hoping for a good fight. As he starts roaring in excitement and stomping on the ground cause he heard about Cinder's last fight with a strong Houndoom making him jealous as his last fights usually had him either getting tired or cheap losses. Before the battle resumes I hear Aaron Aaron "I have to ask, what happened their with Metang, he just knocked himself out" as I just chuckle Deacon " It started as Beldum, if got a hard hit to the head he would lose himself in confusion and attack the closest thing to him. Steven helped me out a bit on working with it, but we figure it an unbalanced flow of energy that when gets disrupted causes it, we think when he evolves it will solve itself as we see it try to reach parts that he doesn't have yet." though I didn't mention the fact when he evolves he will start off with a large head start to other new evolved Pokémon. Now that we have that clear we start the battle again as I call out for rock slide to change up the grassy terrain, as the boulders fall his Scizor just out speeds Aaron calls for brick break getting me to counter it with Iron defence, then following up with fire fang as he gets hit by the Creek grabs onto his opponent not letting him go, while I use Iron defence again making Scizor attacks do very little as Aaron tries doing everything from Iron head to x-scissor and nothing works while Creek just keeps using fire fang. Making me appreciate all the times Shin and Creek have faced each other, the difference between mine and Aaron is that he focused on speed, while I focused on strength as I realized he has many ways to raise his speed. When Arron Scizor finally faints and Creek lets him go. Referee "Scizor is unable to continue, Aaron is down to 3 and Deacon at 5. It is time to spin for a new battlefield" as we watch it spin and the mountain field is selected Deacon "You shouldn't get close to Creek as his physical attacks are leagues above his other attacks" As he needs my advice and calls out his next Pokémon, a Dustox , as he smiles and starts to become toxic as I try to get Creek to dodge, he then calls for a guest targeting the attack, redirecting it back at Creek, causing it to hit. I start calling for him to keep using the rock slide, not giving his opponent any time to retaliate as a few boulders clips his Dustox as the toxic is starting to get stronger he slows down allowing for Aaron to get a few venoshocks. I call out for stone edge as his Dustox flies out of range and starts firing out energy balls, as I tell him to just use ice beam as his attack goes through the energy balls and ends up freezing his Dustox as it crashes to the ground. Referee "Dustox is unable to continue, Aaron is down to 2 and Deacon at 5" As I call back Creek to give him a rest and tell him I don't need him for the rest of the match, as I see Aaron release his next Pokémon an Yanmega as I tell Cinder beside me it's his turn as he jumps on to the battlefield as I see Aaron groan a little. As he starts with air slash as I have Cinder to use flamethrower and using the attack to boost the power behind his attack. As Aaron sees the massive flames going towards his Pokémon, he calls for a quick attack to dodge the move then to go into ancient power towards Cinder. As I call for Cinder to use the flame wheel, using the ancient power as a stepping stone to fire himself at Yanmega as he collides with him as he can't dodge due to the fact he is trying to keep his attack going, a drawback to a powerful move. As Yanmega takes the hit everyone can see he can't take another, as Aaron tries Signal beam as I call for fire spin to destroy the attack as I try to herd Cinder's opponent towards the surface so I can end it with the next attack. When he is close enough I have him use a fire fang combination as runs full speed when Aaron calls out a substitute as his decoy takes the attack. I see Yanmega get even more tired from that move as he uses tailwind getting the field ready for his next Pokémon, as I call for flamethrower while he is setting his move up getting hit and knocked out. Referee "Yanmega is unable to continue, Aaron is down to 1 Pokémon and Deacon is at 5" As Aaron calls out his final Pokémon Drapion, as the sight of this Pokémon gets me angry along with Cinder getting agitated getting a look from those who notice as the scar on my neck starts to itch as I think of the Pokémon that caused it. I tell Cinder to keep calm cause it isn't that one, as we get back to the rhythm as I call for Cinder to make use of the field to get the high Aaron uses repeated sludge bomb to make the ground covered with poison leaving only a few spots uncovered, as I laugh and tell Cinder to use flamethrower on the ground burning all the poisonous sludge and hitting his Drapion as well. As the ground is burned and has smoke coming from all around the field I tell Cinder to run towards his opponent and attempt to get on his back, when Aaron calls for a move I wasn't expecting as he uses an earthquake. As I look at the field and see it can't help and use a move that I really didn't want to do as I tell Cinder to fire a fire blast right in front of him to send him flying in the air avoiding the attack. But not undamaged as he lands I can see him stumble a little with his front leg, while the crowd can't believe what they just saw as he was sent to the other side of the I call for him to use flame wheel to send himself onto his opponent's back thanks to him being stunned at what happened, then at close range I call for his wildest attack inferno. As it smashes into him making a crater in the ground badly burned but still barely standing, as Aaron sees this he decides its best to call him back to let him rest before going back to the Pokecenter. Referee "Drapion is unable to battle, Deacon wins the match and heads to the finals." as I hear cheering and shake hands with Aaron. While I give Cinder a hyper Potion to heal him until the Poke-centre and nurse joy. As we walk outside to meet the gang along with Lucy and Nincada to catch him cause I won. When I see him and we tell him what's happening he starts to feel sad as he wants to be with both of us, as we see him slowly get agitated he starts to glow as we see him evolving and splitting into 2 as a shiny Ninjask and Shedninja appear. As we look at each other and see Ninjask go in-front of Aaron and Shedninja rubs against me and lands on my head, causing us to look at each other and nod. We both bring out net balls as we tap both of them respectively and they go inside the Net balls who shake then ding as they are then caught, before they are sealed as we are both at our limit.
Deacon P.O.V As we walk back to the Poke-centre excited for tomorrow for the exhibition match between Steven and Lance then my final match against Vasto the self proclaimed volcano master. I asked Lucy if she could hold onto Shedinja for me because I needed my full team for tomorrow and I want to spend some time with him and not just send him away. I try thinking of my team for tomorrow and do worry a little because my opponent has some unknown Pokémon that he has never even shown before. Aaron "That was a fun match and now, I can spend some time with Ninjask here while watching some great matches tomorrow" as I look to the Pokémon clinging to his back Deacon "Yup, and Drake invited us to watch from his box tomorrow. He seemed excited to see another dragon specialist with potential to be a dragon master" As Lucy, Aaron and Anebel look excited while the others thanked for the invitation but declined as they have things they need to do, not allowing for enough time. Annabelle "This is going to be fun, I wish I had Metagross on my as he would love to watch a champion level Pokémon of the same species." as I chuckle Deacon "Don't worry, I am sure there will be recordings at the least. If you train more you can even implant some memories in certain Pokémon but I recommend being very careful, in my opinion there are only 2 ways that should be used for. Number 1 to help them get the understanding of a new move and how to use it. Number 2 If you see something such as a match that can help your development." Remembering that crazy poacher who used his abilities for sick reasons caused me to shudder and thank my training. Anebel "Really, I think I might have gotten close once with Espeon when I was trying to teach her psyshock, for some odd reason she is having much more trouble then my other Pokémon with it." as she looks frustrated and I rub her head receiving a glare from her. When we finally reach the centre I tell them I will meet them at the canteen while I talk to gramps about changing my team for tomorrow. As I call gramps in what seems to be a while I hear the ding saying it is connected and I see gramps looking tired Oak "Great battle today Deacon, what is that floating behind your head" as I turn around and see nothing while I turn my head again and feel something moving behind, as I hear a chuckle from gramps. I decide to do a feint as it works and I see Shedninja is there smiling at me as I grab him and pull him towards my body while hugging. I explain to gramps that little escaped with how I became friends with my opponent before our match and the abusive trainer. As I look at the Pokémon enjoying my embrace I decide Deacon "What do you think of the nickname Spector" as he looks very happy with it as he turns to shadows and reappears on Cinder's back which seems to be his favourite place Oak ``Great name, now who do you need for tomorrow cause I know that's why you called" as I tell him the switches and he is a little shocked to hear 1 of them. When it is done I ask Deacon "So how is Ash, Gary and my aunt doing" as he smiles Oak ``While Ash and Gary like usual, your cousin keeps seeming to forget about you but that's not a big surprise as you're always traveling. Your aunt keeps asking me to ask you when's the wedding" while trying to control his laughter as I just hang up. Next day in Drakes booth As we were just waiting for the match to begin we made some small talk between the 3 of us and our Pokémon. I have Cinder and Shedninja who are being held by Lucy at the moment, Lucy was here Servine out and to my surprise Anebel had her Gothrita evolve into Gothitelle showing her prodigy status all over again. Drake "This is probably the match I will want to see the most all year, I know Lance's grandfather and if he wants to challenge him he is a the lowest top elite trainer level" Deacon "I know both pretty well, it all depends on the Pokémon they choose as they are very close as Steven is still a newly level champion trainer with so far only his Metagross is at that level. Knowing them there will be no off Pokémon, mostly their main team." as I hear Announcer "Today we have a special exhibition match between the Dragon master Lance from Johto and our very own champion Steven. It will be a 3 vs 3 and they will referee themselves, do their status and trust they agreed to. Now begin" As I see Lance call out his Kingdra and Steven call out his trusted Skarmoury as they both start off with set up moves Iron defence and then rain dance respectively as I see how I influenced Lance a little. As he then continues into the hydro pump thanks to his increased speed from the rain outspeeding his opponent who tries to dodge but still gets hit. As thanks to his strong steel scales takes little damage, as he retaliates with steel wing causing Lance to try and whittle him down with dragon rage as his opponent takes a few hit but in return gets multiple hits from the razor sharp steel wing crashing him into the floor and getting knocked out Lance "Usually with rain dance he can out speed most opponents but your Skarmoury there has some pretty nice base speed" as he recalls his Pokémon Steven "True, since he is the only one on my teams that has any speed I tried to train it to its limit causing him to out speed many of his opponents" as the rain dies down and everything is clear again As Lance calls out his 2nd Pokémon Charizard as it roars when released as Steven keeps his Skarmoury in as he can at most do 3 to 4 more moves before getting knocked out. As he calls for flash cannon getting Lance to counter with flamethrower as it overpowers his opponents move but before it can reach Skarmoury it dodges by flying upward. As Charizard keeps trying to hit it with a flamethrower and fire spin, Lance calls out for him to use heat waves in all directions. Finally hitting his opponent causing a lot of damage, Steven tries to use some moves to get out of it but they all fail due to the strong heat wave that finally knocks him out. Steven "You didn't give me any time to use roost" as he jokingly glares at Lance Lance "That was the plan" As Steven calls out his 2nd Pokémon his almighty Aggron next to face his opponent's type advantage. As Steven starts with a rock slide guiding Charizard in for his next attack not knowing that's exactly what Lance wants. As when he is close towards his opponent Lance calls for Blast burn as hot at a very close distance causing a large explosion and blocking everyone's view. When it clears you can see Aggron barely standing thanks to his ability and Charizard needs time to recharge as Steven makes use of this as he calls for stone edge as it hits causing a lot of damage then into a heavy slam knocking out his opponent with all the damage dealt to him. Lance "How was he still standing" Steven "It's thanks to his ability that many steel and rock types have called study that pretty much is used in these exact situations where an opponent tries to finish the battles into 1 hit" as he nods in response Steven decides to recall his Pokémon as he calls for his Last Pokémon, his trusted partner Metagross as Lance calls out his Dragonite as the two strong Pokémon stare at each other causing the stadium to be at a standstill. As both trainers look at each other and start the battle, Steven starts with a flash cannon and Lance with a flamethrower as the attacks clash and even out. As Lance uses dragon rush as Steven uses Meteor Mash as collide on the field and the meteor mash wins as he sends Dragonite flying as he calls for fire blast hitting Metagross dead on with the powerful both Pokémon are slightly hurt from the exchanges made so far, Dragonite tries his strongest move as Lance calls for outrage as Steven calls for psychic dealing with his opponents attack and damaging him further as he sends him straight into the ground. Lance calls for earthquake as you here is Pokémon roars clearing the smoke and uses the ground move that damages Metagross hard, as you see him getting up slowly as both Pokémon are hurt in the both trainers see the battle is going to end soon, causing Lance to use outrage again expecting a psychic to counter but is surprised when Dragonite is allowed close in, when Steven calls out for gyro ball as he uses the Power of Dragonites own move against sending him flying into the back wall knocked out. Making Steven the winner in this battle, as the crowd cheers while I say Deacon "They held back too much, it was just power against power, no real strategy. It could have been a much better match" as Drake agrees with me while Lucy and Anebel look a little confused as Drake explains they held back due to too many people and a small field. As I have to go backstage to set up for my next match in the finals.
Deacon P.O.V As I am tired from all the battles with little rest, and team rocket didn't help. Making me decide I won't hold back as much and actually use strategy to battle my opponent Vastos. As we are called to the field I see him across from me in a kimono with flame designs. Announcer "After such a great conference we finally have the finals between Deacon from Kanto and Vasto from here, this is a full 6 vs 6 battle and substitutions allowed in the mountain battlefield that was chosen earlier. Trainers call out your starting Pokémon" as we comply from me I call out Hydreigon and from Vastos I see a Marowak appear pumped up. Announcer "Begin" My opponent starts with a bone club as he is quite limited thanks to my Pokémon's immunity to ground moves as well of his distance away, as I call for his fusion of dragon pulse and dark pulse as it tears the attack apart and heads towards him. As my opponent gets his Pokémon to dodge by using dig as I call for Hydreigon to get to the entrance of the hole and use hyper voice causing my opponent to scramble trying to call for his Pokémon to escape the hole but it was too late. As the attack is let loose thanks to the narrow space it echos off and amplifies as the ground is torn apart. As Marowak is reviled and shown to be knocked out from that attack. Referee "Marowak is unable to continue, Deacon is up 1 Pokémon to Vasto's 5 left" Vasto "I wasn't expecting that move from your Pokémon, I pretty much gave you the win there" as he looks a little upset but still in a good mood Deacon "I trained this Pokémon a few weeks after he hatched. It feels great to see what he becomes" as I radiate through my aura for him to know how proud I am of him as he looks at me and smiles. While we continue the battle as he calls out his 2nd Pokémon Magmar as I keep mine in and let him continue as he wasn't hit by any attacks previously, as my opponent starts of with a fireblast while I tell Hydreigon to mitigate it with his flamethrower lowering the power behind the attack as it hits. Thankfully he takes little damage as it allows for him to attack with a new move he was learning as I call for draco meteor as he sends the attack in the air as it releases and bombards the already destroyed field more and hits his opponent a few times. As we trade a few blow back and forth between our Pokémon as both Pokémon keep their distance I get bored of it and decide to try something new as I call for Hydreigon to use gia impact getting a surprise look from my opponent as he calls for another fireblast at the incoming target as I smile and tell him to combine it with dragon rush as he takes the attack head on while beating through it with sheer power behind his attack. When he hits Magmar sending him like a bullet towards the wall he gets burned thanks to his ability, as the smoke clears I can see Magmar knocked out being held by the crater in the wall. Referee "Magmar is unable to continue, Deacon still has a full 6 while Vasto is down to 4" As I see Vasto thinking who to call out and finally decides to release his Arcanine, surprising me a little but getting an idea for where he is coming from. As the battle restarts my opponent right away calls for extreme speed as his Pokémon comes crashing into Hydreigon and sends the already tired and spent Pokémon to the ground knocking him out. Referee "Hydreigon is unable to continue, Deacon is down to 5 to Vasto 4." As my opponents strategy was good getting the most out of it allowing for little to know damage taken, as I call out my next Pokémon Creek. As my opponent tries extreme speed again, as he lands the attack and bounces off leaving Creek spotless as I smile from the fact of all his training bearing fruition, specifically allowing Cinder to temper his body to a greater I want the field to suit him even more getting me to call for sandstorm, both hindering my opponent and strengthening himself. As his moves are getting very limited he decides to recall his Pokémon and calls out a Camprupt, as I call out my next attack stone edge as my opponent tries to intercept it with earth power but fails as it continues towards him and deals quite a bit of damage. As my opponent tries to end it with a fissure while I redirect it with an earthquake while dealing more damage towards him. As I end the battle to the already hurt Camprupt with another stone edge knocking him out as he sent flying upward as lands forming a crater. Referee "Camprupt is unable to continue, Deacon is at 5 vs Vasto 3. We will take a small break as we change the battlefield to forest terrain." as I look at all the damage we had caused to it with the ground broken craters in the field and walls Vasto "awesome isn't it, to think that the amount of damage we caused with our Pokémon can lead to this. It makes me think of what those with bad intentions"as I agree Deacon "You have no idea, there are poachers, organizations and teams that try to take this power to be in control and dominate everyone" as we continue this as the field has to be repaired quite a bit when it is finally time. Referee "The battle resumes" As Vasto calls out his Arcanine wanting to keep his last 2 a secret still, as I keep Creek out due to his advantage when my opponent uses a move I never expected burn out as he destroys a lot of the trees and damages Creek due to the sheer Power also losing his fire typing therefore losing weakness to the greater of Creeks moves. As I now try to get him to hit his opponent with brick break as he sees it's going to be a close infight battle uses play rough trying to pile on the damage as they continue the exchange of moves dealing strong moves on each other. As I tell Creek to combine dragon claw with brick break power, he moves more as he takes more hits hoping to hit Arcanine out of the battle. As I end the battle with a brutal swing, a move that he has to take full on and no more of these grazes, sending his opponent to one of the still standing trees. Referee "Arcanine is unable to continue, Deacon is at 5 while Vasto is at 2." As I tell him I am retiring Creek from the match as he is very tired and hurt. As we both send out our next Pokémon for me Sinbad and for my opponent a very large Typhlosion as both Pokémon look at each other resulting in Sinbad getting a glare from his opponent as he tells me he will win. As I tell Sinbad not to take a hit, then to use high jump kick surprising his opponent tries to get his Typhlosion to dodge but fails as Sinbad keeps reading where he is going to be and finally hits him send him moving back a few feet before he regains his bearings. Making me jealous over his mastery of his aura to be able to accomplish such a feat. My opponent calls for a flame wheel but I notice something different as it has a purple ring in the middle of the wheel making me think of shadow claw fusion of the move. As Sinbad keeps dodging, jumping from tree getting followed by his opponent, causing me to tell him to use gravity to slow his reaction time then to use psycho cut from the side interrupting his attack and sending him into a tree as he tears it down. As he gets up a lot slower when his ability activates blaze powering up his fire moves to their max getting a smile from Vasto, causing me to use double team to buy him sometime. As Vasto calls out inferno, due to his power boost takes the move to Cinders level to my surprise. He destroys the rest of the field as he tries to hit Sinbad as he and his copies all keep dodging him as I call for shadow balls making my opponent use the move defensively, letting Sinbad use psychic to finish the battle against his opponent who is already on his last leg. Referee "Typhlosion is unable to continue, Deacon is at 4 and Vasto is down to his last Pokémon" I recall Sinbad and tell Cinder to jump on the battlefield as I promised that he will have the last battle of the conference, as my opponent looks in confusion before sending out his final Pokémon getting a gasp from everyone including me as I have never seen one in person. As it is a Volcarona, while he starts the battle with a quiver dance, letting me also set up a nasty plot pumping up his special attack to throw him off my real plan. As he uses silver wind as I tell him to out speed his opponent while dodging into a dark pulse as he easily out speeds Volcarona showing how strong his foundation is then attacking and sending his Pokémon back more than a dozen meters thanks to his overwhelming power. As I see Cinder happy he is allowed to go full power with his attacks as he sees his opponent still a little dazed, getting me to continue into foul play making use of his weak physical defence. As he gets near Volcarona tries to use bug buzz as I tell Cinder to destroy it with a flamethrower as he easily accomplishes, as I get him to use his triple fusion of iron tail, thunder fang and flame wheel. Even with the type disadvantage due to the power of the fusion of the move sends Volcarno like a bullet into the wall as makes a crater over a meter deep into it getting knocked out Vasto "That Houndoom is a monster, my friend here was my first Pokémon as well of never lost a battle before this" as he recalls his Pokémon to give some rest Referee " We have a champion of this ever grande conference in the name of Deacon, we will hold the awards ceremony in an hour, then their will be a 1vs1 match against Deacon with Sidney of the elite 4 as it is a personal one it is not official" causing me to be surprised as thought it would be a larger match but I guess he has his reasons.
Deacon P.O.V As I decide on who to use against Sidney as he is probably using Absol making it tough for me, as I walk with Lucy and Lance to the counter to restore my Pokémon I used in the last battle for the picture. While I hear Lance Lance "Who do you think I should ask for from them as I looked into the evolution lines and haven't really decided who would suit me" as they look at me Deacon "It isn't that hard, those Pokémon besides Bagon, are quite common in Hoenn. I can even draw you a map to the other 2 as I saw many of them. There's no rule that limits elite 4 or champions with regional only Pokémon on their team, knowing your ambitions just how well you train them. Don't forget your grampas have Altaria in his team as his tank." as he looks at me Lance "True, they all have potential, you know where I can find the stronger ones" as I think of a little gift I can give him and start to think of a condition for it Deacon "I can do you one better if you do something for me I can even direct you to a colony of Trapinch are that has a shiny one in the herd, if you get Lucy here a Dratini from you clans background" as they look shocked at that detail while I see Lucy blush but I from Lance I see a question form in his head Lance "And why didn't you catch him" Deacon "You know I am a little funny with those that I catch as I can see I wasn't fated with him" not wanting to really tell him about the Regi's cause he would want to battle them and they need their rest not disturbed. Lance "I need to talk to gramps first then I can make a deal with you" as I nod in acceptance. Later after the awards As I see as beckons me as I see him talking to Scott and Lucy, as he told me during the ceremony he wanted to talk to me about what I could do next. "So I am guessing we are all acquainted with each other and you know this is about, So Deacon it's been just over a month since the battle frontier has been opened and it is only meant to those invited as of yet their has been 4 challengers and the best was beating 2 facilities so far. We want you to challenge and hopefully win to show more that it is possible, like the frontier Scott made in sinnoh that this one was based off of" Scott "Right, as it took some time before that went off and we need some push to bring it more fame and getting more people to aim to be invited" Lucy "I haven't even been challenged yet as most some reason can't beat Tucker and give up" as she pouts cutely Deacon "Sounds good to me, as I have no interest in being champion or elite 4 getting tied down. I rather work on my research" as I see Lucy understand while the other 2 look at each other in confusion. When I hear Steven behind me Steven "So Deacon great news you gift was found earlier than we thought and will arrive in a week, I just came from giving Lance a Bagon, and your match with Sidney will be in a few minutes so be ready as he said he was going all out" as he looks to be in a good mood while I see the three besides Lucy give each other looks "Try not to lose, you are going to see something that many don't know about" as he laughs. As they head to the VIP box while I head to the battlefield where I see Sidney and the ref waiting for me as I apologise Referee "It is an unofficial match between elite 4 Sidney and our ever grande conference winner Deacon, it is a 1 vs 1 battle, Begin" Sidney "You are going to see something few ever had in hoenn, come on out Absol" as he calls out his Pokémon that has a weird necklace on him that I never saw before Deacon "Just give me a challenge" as I smile and tell Cinder it is time to battle as he jumps on the battlefield excited to go As we both start as I see Sidney call out for his Pokémon to Mega evolve, causing me great confusion as his Pokémon glows. But I have to carry on as I tell Cinder to use nasty plot to power himself up to be ready for whatever he does as he calls for night slash as I decide to counter it with an iron tail. When they clash, to my surprise, his Absol's move is slightly stronger as Cinder is sent back, making me see that whatever he did boosts his Pokémon's natural abilities greatly. As I see my opponent upset a little as I tell Cinder to keep using fusion flamethrower and dark pulse. Absol tries to keep dodging it but quite a few hits due to the massive size and strength of the attack damages him quite a Sidney calls for dark slash as I see him using his move to cut the attack apart as he rushes at Cinder, as I smile and tell him to use the the thunder fang fusion with crunch on his blade as they clash and Cinder holds on to it while taking quite a bit of damage as he endures and keeps using his move to damage Absol more and hopefully make him not able to use all his moves I then tell him to flip and use the momentum and fire iron tail sending his opponent into the ground. As they separate you can see both hurt, with his Absol frightening physical power as I see Cinder is stronger in all other aspects as I want to finish it I call out inferno as I see Sidney tries to use dark slash to break apart the attack again but fails due to all the damage I had inflicted before as Absol is soon over come with flames as they die down to see a knocked out Absol who is back to its original form. Sidney "I can't believe you won, I thought I had this as I know that Steven found a houndoominite for you" as I look at him before I understand what he is saying as I can't stop smiling. While he just looks at me pissed. Steven "It was supposed to be a surprise, and just so you know he's not challenging your position Sid" as he looks a little helpless, while he explains the details behind it making me more excited as well of Cinder as he looks at us.

Deacon P.O.V I'm on a ship headed home. It's been a few days after the conference as the frontier takes place in over 3 regions mostly kanto and johto and some of the brains who live in Hoenn may take challenges. While I relax on the ship Cinder is sleeping in the sun while Spector practices with his control as I have him practice with his abilities by keeping in camouflage while flying around our heads. As we arrive tomorrow, we have nothing to do right now and I am starting to get bored waiting around as I can see Cinder as he starting to get I notice some bird Pokémon are flying in the sky headed towards hoenn and I see one that catches my eye as he is the only one of a different species that is flying alone. As I think this is perfect practice to face against an opponent for spector. Deacon "Spector I have a challenge for you I want you to bring that Murkrow here and battle him for me to catch him" as I see he nods and heads off as I know this Murkrow is something special due to the fact he keeping up with a Taillow and Swellow flock. While I see Cinder look up and decide to watch as he remembers fathers Pokémon and looks a little impressed by this little fellow. As I see Spector sneaks up behind and starts firing shadow balls and sending him to the deck where he sends himself into the shadows as his opponent tries to find him and tell him to use will-o-wisp through aura and keep a distance. As he appears from the shadows startling the Murkrow as he tries to use foul play but Spector dodges by going back into the shadows as he attacks. I allow him to continue the rest of the battle himself to try and get him to learn how to fight at a disadvantage as any attack that hits will defeat him. What continues in a game of hide and seek as Spector is forced out of the shadows after a time and keeps dodging attacks with double team and shadow sneak as a defensive move as I notice that Murkrow is avoiding any special moves while keeping using physical ones while failing to hit. From time to time I see Spector connect with a shadow ball and hidden power as I haven't figured out his typing yet from it, seeing that Murkrow seems normally damaged by it. While burn is still active both decreasing his attacks while damaging him when it flares up, that ends up with him getting knocked out while I toss a poke-ball towards him as it dings telling me I caught him. Deacon "Great job Spector your battles don't matter as long as you don't get hit, just keep practicing and if you learn to control your abilities in battle you will have even greater assets to help with that. Let's get to the nurse joy on board" as they follow me and I hand nurse joy to my new friend along with Spector for a check up, then head back to my room with Cinder to relax before going to sleep. Next day at disembarkment While walking down the steps I see father, gramps, aunty along with the 2 boys Ash and Gary who are arguing with each other that I hear is normal. As I walk down and they start waving at me as I see gramps holding a package Oak " Deacon, such a great conference it was something to watch, this was dropped off at my lab this morning addressed to you" as he hands me a package with the Hoenn pokeleague as the sender letting me know what it was. Delia " it's great seeing you again it's been a few years in person, Ash's been asking about you when he saw your conference battles" as she looks at the 2 arguing ignoring everything else when they see us and stop before running to me Ash "you were awesome in their you creamed everybody, you Tyranitar was awesome."as I see Gary smirk that would make me proud Gary " Ashy boy where you even pay attention his Houndoom was the best, you see how well he is compared to others. Along with the rest of Pokémon except that weird one that knocked itself out, he has many weird Pokémon that I only saw are his gramps." As I see Cinder looking approvingly at Gary for noticing his prowess while Gramps was just chuckling at Cinder's behaviour. Both of them " Show us all your Pokémon please, yeah I can show who has the better eye" but get interrupted by auntie Delia "come let's head back and grab dinner and we can see Deacon's Pokémon" as we drive home in gramps van he uses for Pokémon due to being a lot of us here as we make it to his lab where I see a party set up with all of my Pokémon here as they all run towards me tackling me to the ground happy. Deacon " It's nice seeing everyone in one place again, and everyone worked hard in their own way" as I see Dash and his crew in the pond gramps kept for his individual research testing. As we enjoy ourselves as it gets late the children go to sleep leaving only me, father and gramps left up Deacon "2 things, first guess what I caught on my way back here as he was keeping up with some Swellow and 2nd do you guys want to see something special" as I let out Murkrow they seemed surprised at being able to keep up in pace with the group. When I hear gramps Oak " That is cool, now what has you so hyped up" as he looks at my grinning face as I call Cinder over as he looks excited ever since he battled that Absol Deacon " This was my gift from the team rocket problem we solved, it is usually limited to top trainers in Hoenn connected with the league or kalos as it is more common to find" as I put his chain with his mega stone on while I wear my key stone on my upper arm, as I see gramps figuring out what's going to happen making him very excited as I see father looking at him in confusion. As I start Deacon "Ready Cinder, mega evolve" as he start to glow and form into his mega evolution as it shows a magnificent power radiating from him as he talks to me through our connection Cinder "Amazing, I understand what Steven was talking about earlier as those who aren't ready will go berserk from this sudden gain of power everything is stronger" as uses flamethrower into the air as I see the power equal to a hyper beam surprising father and gramps Deacon "This is what happened in my fight against Sidney, Cinder was telling me not all Pokémon with a mega stone can handle it, they need to be trained and have a strong connection with their trainer. If not they will go berserk and can be a danger to those around them." As they look at me and understand as besides master and senior martial brother they know the most of my connection to Pokémon and abilities.
Deacon P.O.V That was a nice vacation with my family along with seeing all my Pokémon friends again, while working on giving some training schedules to those who are staying with gramps at the lab. I know in the future I should get my own environment for them but not yet, been looking for a while for a place that suits my needs. Oak "So have you decided who you are going to bring with you to start as you can carry 10 with use but need to register at most 6 for an official team" as he brought up what I was worried about Deacon "While I know that I need to train Murkrow as father gave me some ideas from his personal experience, then it's time for Skorupi to train with me as it will be good for us both. For my team I only have decided for sure on Cinder, Creek and Weavile." as he looks in contemplation Oak ``Why not Spiritomb, as you leave him here I got a lot further in my research as I have been comparing him to a friend Gengar and your hunch is right. As we know that Gengar is in a way the unofficial king of ghost Pokémon in general due to his connection with the shadow realm, because Spiritomb is a lot rarer not many have very little seen one let alone catch one not much is known about them. With what I learned in the shadow realm Gengar has a slight advantage with control compared to Spiritomb, but he has the advantage in typing allowing them to even themselves in general out." as he confirms my thoughts Deacon "The other issue is that Spiritomb needs to live IN areas with more ghostly energy to maintain themselves unlike Gengar, or so he tells me. Anyways I need him to train Shedninja in control of his strengths along with tactics, as since he evolved into a newer form making him unfamiliar with his body." Oak " Makes sense, then what about your Metang, as this can be used to evolve and see if that solves his problem, from all our test this maybe the only solution or maybe to drain some of his internal energy but that may cause much more harm" Deacon "Sounds good. While Sinbad and Absol will stay here due to them not liking battling rather protecting others and training to help. You sent Shin to your friend to help train him right how is he doing" Oak smiles Oak "He arrived a couple days ago, when he finishes his flying speed skills will surpass most other species as my friend was shocked at the foundation you built for him" making me glad as Shin has been feeling down recently by being beaten by his friends, still I have a few contacts out looking for a gift to make him feel alot better. Deacon "I think that means Baltoy and Hydrogenation makes the rest of the team as they like battling and can make up for some weaknesses. Allowing for space when I catch any Pokémon that catches my fancy" as my team seems ideal for now. Oak "Sounds like you are ready, who are you facing first as I know a few of them due to some of my research circles and from you actually." Deacon "I decided on Lucy first actually then Annabelle as I want to get them over with first, as Scott knows about our relationships he has agreed and will meet me there, as I am the only challenger at the moment. Plus it's my birthday soon and Lucy wants to spend it with me this year." Oak "I forgot that it is close, you usually go off by yourself at this time. It's good to see you growing" as smiles in his grandfatherly way letting me feel the warmth. Sometimes I wonder about him as he can block my senses by keeping his emotions guarded, either he has similar aura ability or it's thanks to his experiences when he was younger. As I say goodbye I want to meet with my aunt and father before I start on my journey again. When I reach aunt Delia's house I see her and father in the back drinking something and talking, as she sees me and smiles. Delia " I am guessing your leaving now, to bad I don't know where Ash is" Deacon " Yeah, first though have you heard about my little adventure during the conference" as her smile goes away and nods while father gets a little upset at me seeing him glaring at me a little Delia " Yes, I heard. I also heard the one that got away silenced the other 2, from what dear brother tells me he sounds like Messi. I knew him from part of the traitor squad, responsible for silencing all leaks among grunts or traitors. Guess he is keeping it up." As it makes sense for a group like a rocket with that paranoid prick on top. Deacon " How many are there in that squad" Delia "while quite a few years ago, there was one at each level in the organization responsible for their own level, due to the large amount of grunts he focused on Pokémon with the ability to teleport. He is probably the hardest to trap among all team rockets as he always has at least 2 Pokémon with him to escape." Giving me some plans if I encounter him in the future. Deacon "thanks, this was very helpful" as I turn to father Avary " you know what I think about team rocket but don't go looking for trouble" Deacon " You know if I see something in front of me I will stop it" he just ruthels my hair Avary " I know" as I say goodbye and head out with Cinder at my side as we got a few days of walking ahead of us.
Deacon P.O.V After Walking for a few days including training Skorupi and Murkrow as they both have a lot of potential in battling, while having some of my older Pokémon to train them as they first need to work on their bodies. When I finally reach the location that Lucy told me she was I see a large building in the shape of a Serviper, causing me to laugh at why she was so vague on the building description saying I would know it was hers. When I hear ? "Why are you laughing at our Queen Lucy glorious palace" as I turn around and see three females that can be seen copying Lucy's dress glaring at me, causing me to understand Anebel's constant rubbing of Lucy's group. As I sense Lucy coming I decide to have a little fun Deacon "Pike Queen Lucy are you sure it's not the soft hearted one or the loving Lucy" as they look at me at shock and anger not noticing their idol is right behind them with her face blushing at my comments ? "She is the brain of this facility and the idol of our hearts with her stoic and calm personality along her power as a trainer, none of the challengers so far have been close to beating her. You pea brain trainer have no clue to the true Lucy and don't deserve to battle her" as I see Lucy getting angry now and was about to say something when I hear behind me Scott " I wouldn't be talking like that to Lucy's love if I were you, remember when you insulted Anabel. What he can do is a lot worse, it would be best to back off Holly." as she glares at him then me Holly "Yeah right this guy is Lucy's love, she is all business all the time" right when Lucy Interrupts looking pleased at Scott Lucy "How are you doing Deacon, I thought you weren't going to make it in time. Let's have our battle. I have something for you tomorrow it just arrived yesterday" as she walks over and hugs me while kissing me on the cheek dumbfounding her followers. Deacon "Thanks beautiful, I'm ready for our match what's it going to be" as she smiles at me ignoring everything else Lucy "3 vs 3 will be good, I have a surprise for you in this match" making me excited a bit knowing her new Pokémon I know of not being trained enough as we head inside as her follower Holly is the referee Holly " It is a 3 vs 3 battle with substitution on both sides as the challenger has agreed, call out your starting Pokémon and begin" As we both call out our Pokémon as I decided with Baltoy and Lucy calls out to my great surprise Shuckle. As she starts with toxic as I use it to my advantage letting him get hit, then to counter with guard split lowering her Pokémon's defence. She wasn't expecting me to start with as she calls for stone edge as I have Baltoy use psychic to put Shuckle in the way of the move and take it instead of him, then to continue with an ice beam trying to freeze his opponent. As Lucy sees her Pokémon in a block of ice she calls for gyro ball as the block starts to vibrate until it breaks apart, revealing her Pokémon hurt, during all this Baltoy is slowing getting hurt from toxic as it is intensifying I decide it is time as I call facade that gets powered up thanks to his condition. When it hits causing the ground to shake and dust to stir blocking our view, when it clears I can see Baltoy floating around and Shuckle knocked out. As Baltoy is still Poisoned I tell him to use refresh to get rid of the status effect. Holly "Shuckle is unable to continue, Queen Lucy is down to 2 while challenger is still at 3" Deacon "I always have a way to deal with the strong defence, it just happens that Baltoy is one of the best at dealing with them and able to counter their unique strategies due to his unique origin" Lucy "I thought I would have you on this one, it was a good battle though closer than I thought" as she returns her Pokémon and pouts a little making her look cute As I decide to recall Baltoy and call out Creek as he should be good for the next 2 matches, as Lucy calls out Milotic looking a little worried as she knows what my Pokémon are capable of in battling. As I let her have the first move as she gladly takes as she starts with scald, sending boiling water at Creek who thinks of it as a nice bath, while I tell him to charge through the move and use thunder fang. When he gets close, Lucy calls for Milotic to use an aqua tail and fling herself out of the way, deciding to keep Creek at a distance making this a nice battle to me, making me use sandstorm. As he creates a raging sandstrom both hindering his opponents moves and strengthening himself, as I see Lucy at a little of a loss making me realize that she had plan for Milotic probably to use rain dance if I ever use sandstorm, thankfully Creek can overpower most weather conditions. As I use earthquakes to make use of the space she is giving, as Lucy tries with a hydro pump but the attacks are depleted in the sandstorm as she takes damage from the earthquake. Deciding changing the plan she tells Milotic to move in and try point blank range scaldings, as I naturally agree to as I tell Creek when they meet to use a mix of Iron head and thunder fang. As they fight, both sides take a lot of damage due to the prolonged battle and giving no more space in the sandstorm when I tell him to finish it with a powered up thunder fang. When the sandstorm clears I see Creek standing but showing that he has been burned affecting his attacking power as well slowly hurting him, while Lucy's Milotic is knocked out on the floor. Holly " Milotic is unable to continue, Queen Lucy is down to her last Pokémon" as I see Lucy sulking a little Deacon "Cheer up you know how Creek is like, as well I never told you his sandstrom is hard to beat" Lucy "How did you get guess, I though with rain dance and recover we could have out prolonged you in this battle" As she calls out her last Pokémon Seviper, knowing that this is a difficult match for her. I call out earthquakes at the beginning as I don't want another long battle that could make Creek lose due to being burned. As she tries with x-scissors a move I told her to train, as she is still a little shaken from the earthquake from earlier, Seviper misses the mark and falls into a counter brick break that sends it flying while in mid air Lucy tells her Pokémon to make use of her body as a spring to brace for the impact. As it works to mitigate most of the damage she would have taken along with Creek being burned, Lucy uses the spring to send her Pokémon back with a poison tail while I tell Creek to intercept Iron head as they collide. Creek sends Seviper to the ground. As both Pokémon are on their last legs I know it's going to end in the next attack, I tell Creek to use flamethrower on his dragon claws made possible with all the training with Cinder, seeing this Lucy calls for Pokémon to use flamethrower then combines it with sludge bomb making it stronger. As Creek charges forward taking the hits when he reaches Seviper and smashes him towards the wall at high speed, as he hits the walls causes him to be knocked out giving him no time to prepare. Holly "The winner of the frontier battle with Queen Lucy is the challenger Deacon" as Lucy walks to me and gives me a badge Lucy "Here is the Luck symbol, proof of winning in the battle Pike. That was the fun battle I was looking for from you, tomorrow I have the gift for you for your birthday so be prepared." as I smile and promise her looking forward to it. next day As I meet Lucy in front of the battle Pike with Cinder she tells me to follow her as she heads into the forest while we talk for a while, when we finally reach a small creek and I see a small hut here making me wonder. Lucy "Sometimes I just need to get away so I built this place to be with nature and my Pokémon." as she releases all her Pokémon as they seem used to the place where they go to wherever they like, as I see Vulpix jump into her arms. Making me let out all of my Pokémon, at first they are surprised but soon find places that they like and get relaxed in the calm environment. "I was thinking this would be a great place to have a picnic for today, your birthday." Deacon "Thank you very much this means a lot, I know my aunt must have told you how I usually stay in the mountains or the forest during this time for some alone time." as I hug her and give her a passionate kiss making her dazed while she takes out her Picnic items along with Pokémon food as I see Cinder just looking and smirking at me. As we eat and talk, after we swim for a little we just decide to lay down and enjoy the stars. When Lucy gets up and heads inside the hut, when I feel her open the door and let her surprise me so I close my eyes Lucy "You can open them, I got this from a friend in a region she was vacationing in." as I look and see her holding an incubator with an egg, it is black with red wavy designs. When I decide to examine it with aura I notice that it has a connection with me as it draws it in, making me realize that it must have some connection with aura causing me to be astonished. Deacon "Thank you very much, I am guessing you don't know what is inside but you don't know how close to me this egg feels." as she puts it to the side and we snuggle under the stars while kissing passionately.
Deacon P.O.V As I wake up I see that me and Lucy fell asleep under the stars with our Pokémon, as I feel Lucy snuggling with me as well as Vulpix sleeping at her legs and Cinder is on the other side as I can sense him waking up as well. I wriggle out to see the rest either sleeping with a few awake such as Creek swimming in the water and Hydreigon flying around with Murkrow and Crash, the last who is awake is Skorupi who seems to be setting up a prank on Lucy's Arbok as he covering him in sand then I am guessing from previous incidents is going to use confuse ray and let chaos reign. As I motion for him to come to me Deacon "You want to make it even better" as I ask him through my aura Skorupi "Yes please elder" making me laugh at his usual address of me Deacon "Kay, before you wake him use confuse ray then when he is awake continue with scary face, directing him towards Weavile who will have to deal with that letting you to bring more chaos to the rampaging Arbok" as he looks at me in awe and starts with the plan as I sit back and enjoy. As he wakes Arbok who is confused and scares him into running over Weavile who wakes up confused to see the smirking prankster then turning to me and glares knowing I am encouraging this and proceeds to try and stop the rampaging Pokémon with ice beam back firing as it misses the moving target and hits Vulpix and Lucy making me wince. As it causes Vulpix to wake up and start using a flamethrower making me impressed with its power as it hits some of the other sleeping Pokémon waking them up and them to think we are under attack to start fire attacks causing mayhem. During this I see Skorupi make a mistake as he tries to mess with Cinder as he tries to wake him with pin missile causes Cinder to sense it waking him up to dodge then just smacks the prankster into the tree, who then notices the mayhem then looks at me as I decides this is enough and agree to let him end it as he uses a full powered roar then causes everyone to stop and back up. Deacon "Great job Cinder, Skorupi that's wrong you shouldn't have done that apologise. Lucy good morning, well job training Vulpix that was a very strong move considering his age" as my Pokémon who know I helped Skorupi plan this just glare at me besides Cinder who enjoys the little pranks from the duo and me if it doesn't affect him, while I see Lucy glaring at me as well knowing full well despite how serious I can be I have a mischievous streak to relieve stress. Lucy " You owe me for this and my Pokémon, you seem less stressed than yesterday since it was the day that is treated as your birthday. I guess I never told you his name, we decided on Summer and we have been working on his attacking power first as he has a lot to do." as I nod liking the name as we clean all the mess on us and then Pokémon up first before we eat. Deacon "So I was thinking some of my Pokémon can pair train yours and your Arbok can train Skorupi as a little revenge in poison moves as Skroupi is just starting his training really recently" as I see Lucy and Arbok liking that idea as I trust they will train him as well get payback. As I pair up the others and give out some plans to training plans to help them as the pairs start like this, Cinder will train Summer, Creek will help Seviper, Hydreigon will train Murkrow, Baltoy with train Servine, Weavile will train Crash and as for shuckle I don't know much about him so I can't really help him much. While Lucy and I supervise and give some pointers. I have Cinder help Summer with control, as this is one of the harder aspects to get better with no guidance. He will show him how to control his body, attacks and inner fire energy in battle to make him last longer and get the most of what he has. He will start with making control the output in his attacks, making him not use excess amounts of energy, getting to be able to use more moves and letting him if need be all his energy into a finishing move. Creek will teach Seviper how to deal with ground typing attacks better as well as how to deal more damage towards Pokémon with great defence. As Lucy has trained her Pokémon's tail to be very strong I urged her to train her Pokémon 2 moves Iron tail and aqua tail as they can help her weaknesses along with making use of her advantage. Even though Hydreigon isn't the best teacher for Murkrow to teach him how to read the wind and maneuverability in the air compared to Shin, he was trained a bit by Shin making him the next best choice at the moment. As I tell him to fly up higher then they are used to for the stronger winds and to make them used to it along with improving both of their skills involved with flying. Now when it comes to moves I would say the most versatile of mine would be Baltoy meaning he would be the best in teaching young Pokémon new moves as well as bringing out potential found in them. As he was pretty much since his birth given all the knowledge he could have on his species, region and ancient knowledge making him a great teacher. When it comes to control of their inner energy I would say the only one on par with Cinder is Weavile, even though he has a lesser amount along with his ability to use it is lesser than Cinder. Making him a great Pokémon to teach others on it, along with how he had to adapt with only having one usable eye to be able to battle just as well without it. Given Crash's problems he experiences needs this training as I wont allow him to evolve before that as I don't want him to rampage when he does evolve. After a few hours Deacon "I think this is the best we can do in a day, most have made a great improvement in what we have trained. I need some sleep before I head out in the morning tomorrow to see Anebel and challenge her next, good thing the egg wasn't involved with the scuffle in the morning and is fine right" as we are sitting down having some tea with the egg In the incubator in between us. Lucy "Say hi to Anebel for me, I have another match coming up in a few days so I can't come with you" as she holds my hand and pouts. Deacon "Don't worry we can talk whenever you want, lets make some food and head to sleep under the stars again it was nice"
Annabelle P.O.V I had gotten word from Lucy that Deacon was on his way to face me a couple of days ago, getting me really excited as we can break our tie breaker as I look at little Espeon on my lap relaxed as I am rubbing her head. As I ask Anebel "Are you ready for some payback from your loss the last time you faced him" as she says to me Espeon "I have never met a Pokémon as arrogant as that Houndoom I want to get even with him, but I can tell from watching the conference he has stepped into another league again as he is at least pseudo champion level. Letting be even with fewer of the weaker legendaries" making me feel shocked a bit as she never backs down Annabelle " Guess that makes us hope Deacon doesn't use Cinder then, he will probably use Metang for a rematch and try to get him to evolve. Then I am guessing Cinder will definitely be used against you, and I am guessing his final will be a spur of the moment pick" as Espeon agrees with me as I hear the phone ring and answer Deacon "I am outside your facility and thought of surprising you, but guess what you weren't here" while I can hear being a little upset making me think he was planning a prank making me glad I dodged that bullet. Anebel "I can be there in 5 minutes wait up and tell them to allow you inside" as I call Espeon back in her ball and call out Metagross and jump on his back and tell him to take me to my tower as he starts floating in the air towards there. When I reach on top of the tower I jump down and call him back and head inside to see Deacon eating and drinking like he owns the place making me laugh making him turn around Deacon "Great to see you come sit and eat after we can battle. I was waiting for you for what felt like hours." as I see Cinder eating away at the other end of the table and just sighing and sitting down as we make some small talk before we head to the battlefield. When I see Louie head to the Referee stand Louie "We about to commence the battle for the ability symbol with frontier brain the young prodigy Anebel and Deacon, now begin" as we both call out our Pokémon as I see Deacon call out Baltoy and I call out Gothitelle to his surprise as I can tell from his face Deacon "I knew she would suit you but she has made tremendous progress since I last saw her, now do you want full abilities or just regular battle" as I smile Annabelle "Abilities and I don't want you to hold back today as I have been waiting for this, and Scott you can come out now we both know you are here" as we see him walk out of the shadows Scott "This is the 2nd most anticipated match for me in Deacon's challenge of the battle frontier, wouldn't miss it for the world" as we turn back to each other and start our battle. As I know this is going to be a tough match due to his humongous Baltoy along with its versatile moves as we use our abilities to our moves to keep it hidden, as I start with future sight wondering if he will feel it coming. When I see a beam getting sent towards my Gothitelle as I try to overpower it with psybeam but gets torn through easily making probably signal beam as she gets hit by it, when she recovers and uses dark pulse to hit Baltoy but gets countered by a rare move dazzling gleam as I tell Gothitelle to use light screen to protect herself. As the smoke clears I can see Gothitelle is starting to get really tired making me see that I might have jumped the gun a little as Deacon isn't the best trainer for younger Pokémon to start against for experience as he isn't the best at holding back. As Deacon starts up again with shadow balls while I have Gothitelle counter them with energy balls as few get by on each side causing both to get some strong hits in when smoke fills the room from the impact of the attacks, I feel for both Pokémon to understand the situation. I can see mine on the ground fainted while Baltoy spinning around happy with a fun match and no tricks, when the smoke clears I hear Louie "Gothitelle is unable to continue, Annabelle is down to 2 left while the challenger Deacon still has all 3" Deacon "I was expecting Alakazam there, it's a little to early for Gothitelle to battle in official matches" as I call her back after thanking her Annabelle " While I thought of taking advantage of her abilities as you can't switch out against her and using something along the lines of toxic, but because I know Baltoy can make use of it I couldn't follow up with it" as nods in understanding As I call out Espeon next knowing who his final is going to be but gets me a little surprised he doesn't switch out like always does, getting a chuckle from I am guessing because of my face. As I start with Zen Headbutt where he does the same as both Pokémon hit each and sending the other back but to my happiness it looks like Baltoy is confused as I continue with my Espeon's signal beam as I see Deacon try to get him to dodge but fails as it takes it head on. To my surprise future sight took now for it to activate sending flying again as I finished him off with shadow balls. Louie "Baltoy is unable to continue, both Nobel and the challenger Deacon are down to 2 Pokémon left" as I smile Anebel " Hows that big brother Deacon, we both know what's coming next" as he chuckles while calling back his Pokémon and thanking him Deacon "True, I knew you did something at the beginning, now I know it was a future sight attack. It had perfect timing as he was confused and couldn't dodge leading to taking 3 string attacks in a row" While Cinder jumps on the battlefield making it a grudge match for Espeon here as the 2 Pokémon face each other you can feel the tension in the air as I see a large flamethrower at the power level of a hyper beam head towards us. I decided on a new trick I thought of just for this, as I have her use a calm mind then light the screen on angle as the attack hits the screen it is deflected towards the sky. As I see the slightly shocked face of Deacon, while I am thinking that I'm lucky there was enough time time to pull off due to training as she needs to be powered up for it to work as I try Espeon's own dazzling gleam, when I see Cinder covered in flames as he runs through it and charging at his opponent. I try to tell her to get out of the way when she gets hit and sent flying before she regains control and uses psychic stop and lowers herself gently to the ground. When I see Cinder unleashes a move that can only be one of Deacon's fusion moves he makes up as I have never seen anything close to it before, in front of me is just a flaming darkness radiating from him across the whole battlefield. The only thing I can do is you one of my last hidden cards in this matchup as I tell her to unleash hidden power, as it tears through the attack protecting herself as it lands on Cinder while my vision is blocked due to the attack hitting and a bright light appears. When it subsides I can see an mildly injured Cinder and a tired Espeon, when a great force erupts from the him that slowly gets darker and darker to its as vibrant black waves erupt from him before he charges forward when I try to use calm mind and reflect but the power behind the attack crushes it as he continues to Espeon and smashes her into the wall, knocking her out. Louie ``Espeon is unable to continue, Annabelle is down to her final Pokémon. While Deacon the challenger is still left with 2" Deacon " Great use of light screen at the beginning, I am guessing you are wondering about the dazzling gleam taking no effect. It's thanks to training where he uses the intense flames coming off of him burning off certain attacks" as I nod figuring something close to that as I call back Espeon thanking her Anebel " Been working on it for a while, though the water based hidden power would have worked well as a hidden gem. I am guess the first fusion was heat wave with dark pulse then the one that finished it giga impact with punishment" as he just nods expecting for me to guess it When I call out my last Pokémon Metagross, getting Deacon to call back Cinder and throwing out his Metang like expected. As we start I test the waters with a shadow ball, which he counters with a light screen but then another appears as they hit the shadow balls are deflected to the 2nd one and heads back to Metagross. Making me greatly surprised as I have him dodge them as he manoeuvres around the ones that come back. When I see Metang comes in with zen headbutt as he hits Metagross back, and I guess what goes around comes around as he gets confused from it. As I try to use meteor mash but it fails, as Metang uses thunder punch with bullet punch pounding Metagross when he finally paralyzed him, when it finishes I see Metagross is no longer confused making this a battle again. When I call for a hammer arm as he smashes Metang into the ground, when I try again he is paralyzed and unable to continue, where Deacon counter attacks with shadow balls as they hit, causing smoke to cover the battlefield. When he appears hurt and tired, I decide to end it with a facade, as I see Metang looking confident that he is going to win and takes the hit as he flies into the wall. As he gets up he starts to act crazy when Deacon calls for him to get it together as he glows and starts to evolve into Metagross, when it finishes he's back to normal just very hurt and tired from the hits. As he tries to use a hammer arm, but I want to end it again this time for good as I tell mine to use a hyper beam. When it hits, it finally ends the battle knocking his opponent out. Louie " Deacon's Metagross is unable to continue, both trainers are down to 1 Pokémon each" as I interrupt Anebel " Metagross is to tired and hurt to continue, especially against your Cinder so I think it's best to concede the next match" as smiles Deacon " Smart choice, thinking of your Pokémon's condition is always more important than winning" as we call our Pokémon back and head back to my house after giving him the ability symbol.
Deacon P.O.V As the light dies down I see my 4 Pokémon looking around in wonder as I try to get my bearings seeing that I am in a large cave with a small circle of ruins surrounding us. While I see Murkrow and Cinder head out excited to see what the past looked like, I just smile with my other 2 Pokémon behind me. When I see what shocks me as I see groups of water and firefighting a few electric Pokémon who seem a little ganged up on one trainer a young boy looking around 10 years old, as I see a mix up of poliwhirl and seismitoad evolution line and on the fireside Rapidash and Magmars facing against an Electivire, zebstrika and a Jolteon that far Larger than normal. ? " Come on and surrender, little noble, be a good hostage and you won't get hurt. As for your Pokémon need to be removed as threats to our kingdoms" as I see what I guess to be a commander say to the younger foe who his squad is fighting ? " It might be better to just end him, take out the whole threat" the commander in blue states to his companion ? " You both know better, as the protectors won't directly interfere as long as the bloodlines are kept along with the kingdoms and their relics'' said the young fellow as I decide to interrupt as I see Pokémon Lying on the ground and everyone looks to be either tired or hurt. Deacon "Enough, go back from where you're supposed to be, I don't like this fighting and the Pokémon need to heal. If you want to fight I can be anyone's opponent" as they see me standing above them, when they notice Cinder beside me making them all angry for different reasons. Red guy "Why are you helping the yellow prince, I command you to help me and my companions to capture him for your kingdom" as I just laugh thinking to my identity and what it means in this time as I show them my aura and say Deacon "I am an aura guardian, a protector of Pokémon and peace. I don't affiliate with any one kingdom unlike some others'' as they see what I am wearing Blue guy "But a aura guardian has no business in our internal fights, belong to the empire and only they have the right" as I laugh Deacon "Wrong, if I see harm in-front of me I am allowed to intervene as well. I have a few questions for my little friend here" making me glad I learned the history of guardians from my teacher giving me an idea where I am, hopefully the little prince can answer my questions. "Fire a warning cinder" As I see him sending a powerful blast between the 2 parties causing the ground to shake as the earth opens up, shocking both the trainers and the Pokémon at the sheer power behind it. As I see everyone in red or blue pick up their companions and retreat. As I walk to the prince who tenses up as I walk to him Prince " Don't the protector can be heard in any minute, if I call for him. You might be a strong aura user, but you will lose out to him. Who are you by the way and what do you want from me" as he tends his Pokémon while a little scared Deacon "Names Deacon, I want to know what's with the fighting I heard the eevee empire was always calm, as succession was out of the peoples control and was up to fate" as I see his jolteon a clear bloodline royal Prince "The name Jolt, a joke from my parents. We are having an issue because someone stole the sacred orb and we can't pick who is the next emperor without it, dividing us again in 2 sides, as they think it was us. My grandfather was the most recent, having passed away a short time ago, making us want to stay in power. The protectors aren't interfering as they have some bigger issue they are worried about and can't work on finding it, all while we have 2 large neighboring empires at war at the moment" giving me the information I was looking for making me realize where I am at in time Deacon "Point me in the direction of the altar, and I will be on my way" as I get my Pokémon ready as he looks at me and shrugs as it's not some big secret Jolt "Head east, where the 3 mountains meet in the middle is the meeting points of the kingdom in a cleaning you will see the alter with the protectors as guards" As I thank him and start walking with my Pokémon along the way, taking in the sights as the world has changed in the centuries, giving me a brand new view that seems clean without the human touch that has hit the world. After a few days I start to see the mountains in the horizon at each peak. I can see a different element hitting the clouds causing storms and clouds fill the sky miles around them making me excited again thinking something is about to happen. poke-ball
