Ch 25: Silver Conference, Friends Confront

It's been quite some time since Lily arrived where the Silver Conference takes place. Simply known as the Colosseum it's a large arena with several more modern ones surrounding it. It's a ruin yet holds strong to this very day. There's a town nearby for those participating, and some who simply live there.

Lily arrived, found her room and then spent a long few months training. Robin had given her Galladite for Zack. During all the training, Titania evolved into a Sylveon, and the rest of the group gained much strength. After the months seemed to fly by, and training was complete, it was time for the Conference.

The Ceremony went well with only one hitch. Champion Sephi had a no show and it was explained she was out on important business. Lily was a bit disappointed as she wanted to see the champion, but accepted she'd see her sometime later. The battles then begun

Simply Put, Lily breezed through the entire thing. Some of the 3v3's were tough, but now, it was down to the final four. Lily, Alexander, Hana, and someone named Jacklyn.

And tomorrow, Lily would Face Alexander, who's had the same luck during the league as Lily.

And so, we now join our optimistic trainer in her room.

Lily looked at the Poke balls on her dresser. She was nervous. She'd being doing awesome so far. But Alex would be, tougher than the rest. She was just anxious.

"Look at me worrying over this. If I'm gonna lose it may as well be to him. Hope Hana does well. Why does she get to go second…?" She muttered as she stood up and walked to the balcony of her room.

-Still worried?- Lugia said into her mind. She looked back at a Poke Ball separate from the rest. The Silver Ball.

"No crap." She said. "Still peeping to my thoughts?"

-No crap. - He said mockingly. Lily just sighed and leaned on the railings and looked out into the cloudy night.

"Looks like rain." She said.

-Yes, most likely. Won't start till late in the morning. Relax young one. You have time.-

"I know. Just have Beautiflys in my stomach." She said.

-I'm…sorry?- He asked in a worried and very confused tone.

"It's a human saying Lugia. It's like a worried feeling in your gut. It's weird." She said as she walked back inside and crawled into bed. She and Robin had separate rooms, so she was alone. It's been odd after sleeping in tents and bunkbeds.

-I see. Like I said you'll be fine. Get some sleep, big day.- He said.

"Yeah, g'night." She said and closed her eyes. But it took hours to fall asleep. Being anxious can do that to someone.

-(o)- Pokemon League HQ, Johto Branch

Sephi was on her cellphone as she walked through empty halls late at night. The sound of her shoes clacked against the tiles.

"So you're actually coming here?" She asked.

"Of course, and I'm bringing friends so bring out the nice tableware." The voice on the phone joked.

"Oh haha mister I'm gonna win it all and vanish every time." She said.

"I like to travel." He said.

"Yes and also fight an evil organization and nearly die. Look who are these friends?" She asked.

"No one troublesome. So, any lookers for competition this year?" He asked.

"Oh I've had my eye on one. Small girl. Full of energy. She seems to glow brilliantly in battle." She said with slight admiration.

"I hope you have fun! I should be there uhhhm, after the ceremony." He said.

"You wanna avoid any suspicion huh?" She said and leaned on the wall.

"Duh. You ever think about what you'll do if you lose?" He asked. There was a pause.

"Maybe find Celebi. Always been a goal of mine." She said.

"That's pretty long term…One more thing." He said.

"Hm? What?" She asked.

"Engulfing Shadows. How set up are they?" He asked. Sounding, very serious.

"Pretty well. Main base is in the forest of Johto. The big one between the four cities." She said

"I know. Thank you. See you soon Sephi." The voice said.

"See ya Mike." She said and hug up and sighed. "Why'd he have to ask me that?" She said looking up at the fluorescent light. "Being Champion was always my goal. What would I do if I was dethroned?" She asked and after a long pause, sighed. "Yeah yeah, keep doing what we do huh buddy?" She said and kept walking.

Even so, she wasn't gonna part with her place in Johto so easily. No way in hell.

-(o)- Time: 8:55am, Main Colosseum

Lily stood in wait for her name to be called. She heard the familiar sound of well, lots of people in the stands. She had her team by her, yet she always felt nervous.

[You need to calm your nerves Lily, you'll do great.] Midnight said.

[We will win, no matter what.] Zack said.

"Thanks guys." She said.

"Welcome everyone to the final rounds of the Silver Conference!" The announcer said. Lily looked out towards the stadium and took a deep breath.

"Today will be, if weather permits, the last day of the tournament, with the final round happening in the afternoon. So, let's introduce our contestants! First up from Littleroot Town all the way from Kanto, a fan favorite, Lily Zenex!" He shouted and Lily walked out with a smile, waving at the crowd. She was flanked by both Zack and Midnight.

"And her opponent, from Silver Edge Town is Alexander Garcia!" He shouted and Alex came running out laughing and before getting to his Trainer box he jumped and did a front flip before landing. He stood up straight hands on his hips, a friendly smile on his face. The crowd seemed to eat that up and cheered louder.

"Heya Lily! Ready to give it your all?" He asked.

"You know it Alex!" She said with a smile and got ready.

The ref looked between the two. "Ready?" He asked. The two nodded as the crowd went silent. "Begin!"

"Ordis! Fight by my side!" She shouted and from her Holo Caster came a flash of light that became the odd Porygon-Z.

"Ready and willing Lily!" Ordis said.

"I see your Porygon-Z and Raise you Hitmontop!" He shouted and tossed the poke Ball, and it popped open to reveal the fighting type, and it got ready for a fight.

"Scanning! Defense located, raising Physical Attack one stage!" Ordis said whit made Lily frown.

"Physical?" She said.

"That's right! Have fun with that! Now let's go first! Roooolling Kick!" Alex said doing her own roundhouse kick as Hitmontop hopped onto the spike on its head and spun, its feet and tail tip glowing orange as it rocketed at Ordis.

"Ah! Ordis, Psychic!" She shouted and Ordis' eyes gained a blue glow and Ordis let out a visible wave of energy that slammed into Hitmontop, but didn't stop it as it slammed into Ordis and flipped to its feet as Ordis was flung back.

"Ordis, you okay?" She asked.

"Damage was…minimal Ma'am." Ordis said.

"Okay, Agility, get high!" She said and Ordis shot up, quicker than normal.

"Hey come back!" Alex said as Hitmontop kept a close eye on Ordis.

"Nasty Plot!" She shouted and Ordis seemed to stay still before a ring of energy circled him, energy rising from it.

"Oooh no." Alex said.

"Oh yes! Lock-on!" She shouted and Ordis fired a small beam from the 'tail' of its body that hit Hitmontop in the chest, leaving a small marker.

"Oh crap!" Alex said. "Run Hitmontop!" Alex said as Lily shouted out her command.

"Zap Cannon!" Ordis lowered itself and charged a large ball of electricity and fired it at Hitmontop, who started running away and jumped to the side, only to see the attack change direction. Hitmontop just tried to out run it.

"Hold it with Psychic!" She said and Ordis' eyes glowed blue and took hold of Hitmontop and lifted it just a bit as Zap Cannon slammed into its back and caused a large electri9c explosion. When the smoke cleared Hitmontop was standing, panting with electricity sparking off it.

"You may have hurt us Lily, but let's return the favor with Endeavor!" Hitmontop charged forth with a red glow surrounding it. Hitmontop slammed into Ordis and the glow transferred to him, and it cried out as gave the damage Hitmontop had taken to Ordis.

"Ordis!" Lily shouted. "Alright then, Tri Attack!" Ordis made a triangle with his limbs and charged fire, Ice, and Electricity and fired them all, the attack slamming into the nearby Hitmontop and sending it sprawling to the ground. When it stopped it did not move.

"Hitmontop is unable to battle, Porygon-Z is the victor!" The ref said as Alex recalled his Pokémon.

"Awesome fight it put up! Let's see how it handles Arcanine!" He shouted and tossed the Pokeball. It opened and revealed the large Fire type.

"Ordis, come back." Lily said and Ordis turned to light and went back into the Holo Caster. "Of course I don't bring Lily." She muttered. "But I did bring someone else! Tera!" She shouted and tossed the Poke Ball. The Fossil Pokemon appeared with a loud shriek. The ref looked at both trainers and nodded.

"Begin!"

"Tera, Stone Edge!" Lily Shouted. Tera shrieked and landed hard on the ground, pillars of blue stone jutting out of the ground before reaching Arcanine and hitting it into the sky.

"Let's do this! Burn up!" Alex shouted and Arcanine righted itself and howled as its body glowed a fiery red and it gathered at its mouth before letting out a massive fireball that hit Tera hard, causing a huge explosion. Arcanine landed and let out a few flames as Tera flew out of the smoke.

"Burn up? That was powerful…does it have a drawback?" Lily asked herself. "Okay, let's do this right. Tera, Sky Attack!" She shouted and Tera started gathering energy, glowing orange.

"I don't think so! Outrage!" He shouted.

"Another powerful attack!?" Lily said as Arcanine roared and shot up, glowing with blue draconic power and slamming into Tera, knocking her out of her flight plan as it landed. Tera corrected herself and flew pass, the orange glow reaching its peak as she turned and charged straight for Arcanine, who charged at her in turn. The two slammed into one another, and threw each other back. Tera landing on the ground and barely able to stay upright.

Arcanine was able to stop much sooner and charge Tera and swiftly hit once more. After that hit Arcanine started stumbling as its glow died down." Arcanine return!" He said and recalled his Pokemon. "Not dealing with Confusion." He said. Lily smirked.

"I get that, but deal with this! Stealth Rock!" She said and Tera screeched as she launched into the air, and from her tail tip launched sever beams of light that formed rocks all over the field that sank into the ground.

"Tch, figures." He muttered. As Tera landed by Lily. "Okay, Forretress! Let's go!" He shouted as the Pokémon appeared. Stone shot from the ground and slammed into it, but it didn't seem too roughed up by it.

"We'll go first! Stone Edge!" She shouted and Tera slammed her tail into the ground, the blue stone pillars rising up at Forretress.

"Protect!" Alex said and Forretress took shelter in its shell, the pillar under it shattering on its hard shell. "And now, three sets of spikes!" He shouted. Forretress opened up and started spinning, shooting volleys of Spike attacks.

"Tera! Fire Fang!" She shouted. Alex seemed worried now as Tera shot at Forretress.

"Hurry Forretress!" He said. It didn't take long for Tera to reach it, and with fangs of fire chomped down on Forretress, the flames exploding as it was tossed aside.

"Yes!" Lily said. Forretress slowly floated up from the very powerful attack.

"Didn't wanna do this.." He muttered.

"Once more!" Lily shouted and Tera darted at Forretress.

"But oh well! Explosion!" He shouted loudly. Forretress closed its shell and glowed a bright white. Tera started flying up to dodge, but the explosion happened too quickly, the shockwave nearly knocking Lily over, and sending Tera into the stands, cracking the ground. She slumped down, unconscious.

"Both Pokémon are unable to fight, trainers, next Pokémon." The ref said as both trainers recalled their Pokémon.

Alex sighed as he threw his next Pokemon. "Lapras!" He shouted. Lapras appeared and was hit by the Stealth Rock, it seemed to harm it a bit more than Forretress.

"Warren! Fight by my side!" She shouted as the Scizor appeared on the field. Spikes shot from the ground and impacted Warren, dealing a decent amount of damage.

"Alright, Lapras, let's start off with-" Alex started before he caught a glint as Lily raised her right hand.

"Warren, we're gonna show them our true power, a bright new path to walk upon!" She said as she slammed her left hand on her Key Stone. Four lines of energy launched from it and connected with the Mega Stone Warren had and he gave a powerful roar as his body changed. Longer pincers, less uniform legs and larger wings.

"I don't believe it! Lily is showing us a new power she hasn't shown before! It's-!"

"Mega Evolution!" Lily shouted and the light around Warren shattered as he was now Mega Scizor.

"Mega Evolution!?" Alex said.

"That's right! Defog!" She shouted wasting no time getting into battle. Warren crossed his pincers and swept them out, blasting air that pulled out the spikes and rocks from both field hazards. Alex blinked and grinned.

"Dunno why you'd do that Lily!" He said and recalled Lapras. "Arcanine, let's go!" He shouted and tossed the Poke Ball and the large Fire Type returned to the field with a roar.

"Let's take it down in one shot buddy! Burn up!" He shouted. Arcanine started gathering energy again.

"Bullet Punch!" She shouted and Warren shot forward, pincers taking a metallic sheen. He met Arcanine head on and got in many jabs before the attack was charged. "Now!" Arcanine fired the attack, and in time with Lily's command, Warren ducked out of the way as the fire ball shot past lily and hit the wall behind her.

"Oh crap!" Alex said. He wasn't expecting a close range dodge, or that one would succeed.

"Like that!?" She said smiling. "Night Slash!" She shouted. Warren's right Pincer glowed with dark power as he cut down the side of the large Pokémon, causing it to wince in pain.

"Flare Blitz!" He shouted. Arcanine roared as it became cloaked in fire and charged the close Pokémon and slammed into it hard, and into the wall.

"Warren!" She shouted. Arcanine hopped back and shook itself, it seemed pretty banged up. Waren slowly stepped out, the attack had hurt quite a bit.

"Dang, still up?" He muttered. "That's tough, we need to end this quickly buddy! Overheat!" He shouted. Arcanine gained a red glow as it prepared the attack.

"It's close to being down! Bullet Punch!" Lily shouted and the same metallic sheen covered Warren's pincers as he shot forward at impressive speed. Arcanine lout out a massive stream of flames at Warren.

Warren ducked as much as he could as the flames licked at his steel body, he'd managed to dodge the brunt of the attack as it impacted the wall behind him and exploded as Warren let out a flurry of blows upon Arcanine, the last one being an uppercut, sending Arcanine in the air before falling down, unconscious. Warren leapt back to Lily, panting.

"Arcanine is unable to battle!" The ref shouted, and Alex recalled Arcanine.

"Okay, so, how about this." He muttered. "Lapras!" He shouted and the large Water/Ice type reappeared on the field.

"Begin!"

"Roost!" Lily shouted and Warren folded his wings and began to heal.

"Perfect opportunity!" Alex shouted. "Sheer Cold!" Alex shouted as Lapras charged a ball of icy energy, and fired a thin line at Warren.

"Warren, move!" Lily shouted and Warren quickly jumped to the side, the beam barely missing as it impacted the wall, a large second turning to ice.

"Dang. If only Scizor was slower." He muttered.

"A One hit move…" Lily said. "Guess we gotta end this fast him Warren?" She said.

[I concur, what's next?] He said. Lily gave a grin.

"Get in close, Bullet Punch!" She shouted and Warren shot forward.

"I don't think so, Surf!" He shouted and Lapras let out a cry as a large wave appeared from it and the wave slammed into Warren before he could react and was swept into the wall, and slumped, struggling to get up.

"That's harsh…" She muttered. "Warren, come back!" She said and recalled her Pokémon. "You did well, let's hope you don't need to come back out. Midnight?" She asked. Midnight have a smirk and walked onto the battlefield.

"Oooh, that special Absol." He said. "Ready Lapras?" He asked and it nodded.

"If both are ready, begin!"

"Ice Beam!" Alex shouted and Lapras charged the attack and fired the crackling beam of energy.

"Detect." Lily said and Midnight's eyes glowed green and she ran at the attack, and ducked under it and slid before jumping past Lapras and stopping behind it. "Swords Dance!" She shouted and several swords of energy spun around her as Lapras turned to her side and glared at Midnight, who looked rather calm.

"Surf!" He shouted. And the wave formed from Lapras as it cried out.

"Psycho Cut!" Lily shouted and Midnight's scythe glowed a pinkish color, and slashed her head, the blade hitting the water, and splitting the wave in two, slamming into Lapras and causing it to cry out in pain as the water landed around Midnight.

"Woah…" Alex said.

"Not gonna retaliate? We keep at it then!" Lily said. Alex seemed to snap out of it.

"Gah! Dragon Pulse!" He shouted and the bluish energy started gathering.

"Sucker Punch!" Lily shouted and Midnight shot forward and hit Lapras in the side of the face with her paw, causing Lapras to fire the attack from surprise and wasting it. "And the finisher! Play Rough!"

"Huh?" Alex said. Midnights scythe, claws, and tail became covered in a pinkish energy as she started wailing on Lapras, the finisher being a tail swing to the head, causing Lapras to skid along the ground and stop on its side, unconscious.

"Good job Midnight!" Lily said as the ref announced Lapras unconscious. Alex recalled Lapras with a grunt. He was a bit frustrated as Midnight walked back to Lily.

"Heracross, need some help out here!" He shouted as the Bug Fighting type appeared. Lily smiled. "Midnight, take a break." She said. Midnight walked back and sat down.

"Okay Titania, fight by my side!" She shouted and tossed the Ball. It opened and revealed the Sylveon Titania had become.

"What?" Alex muttered. "Never seen that one before." He said.

"Begin!"

"Heracross we gotta get the first move in! Megahorn!" Alex cried out as Heracross' horn glowed a bright green as it spread its wings and shot at Titania.

"Dodge and use Moonblast!" Lily shouted, Titania waited for the last second and jumped out of the way and charged a ball of energy between four ribbon ends and used them to throw the orb at Heracross, which impacted it and exploded. The attack sent Heracross sprawling back.

"Aerial Ace!" Alex said and Heracross got back up and shot at Titania, who braced herself and took the hit, being lifted up from the force but landing on the ground steadily. Heracross was still flying low to the ground.

"Hyper Voice!" Lily shouted. Titania took a deep breath and let out a loud howl, the soundwaves encompassing Heracross and it winced as the attack damaged it and pushed it back.

"Megahorn!" Alex shouted and Heracross cried out as energy covered its horn and it charged forth and slammed into Titania, and flung her behind it, Titania impacting the ground hard. She still got up and shook her head.

"Psyshock!" Lily shouted. Titania spread out her ribbons and gathered Psychic energy near them, gathering it just in front of her until she quickly fired the pinkish blast. Heracross jumped and tried to dodge but was hit by the attack and blasted into the wall, and slumped unconscious from the Powerful Psychic hit.

"Heracross is unable to0 battle. Alex, please choose your last Pokemon." The ref said as Alex recalled his Pokemon. He took out a Pokeball and nodded.

"Okay, Feraligatr! Come on out!" He shouted throwing it as hard as he could into the sky. It opened and the light revealed the large fully evolved water starter. He glared right at Lily and gave a low growl. Lily recalled Sylveon and smiled.

"Okay, Zack, get in there." She said and Zack walked onto the field.

"If both trainers are ready, begin!" The ref shouted.

"Screech!" Alex shouted and Feraligatr let out a loud roar that washed over Zack and caused him to cover his ears. "Liquidation!" Alex shouted and Feraligatr stopped his roar and covered itself in water and shot at Zack.

"Dodge and use Throat Chop!" Lily shouted and Zack Jumped to the side as Feraligatr got close and swung at its neck, slamming it dead on and quickly jumping back. Feraligatr fell to its hands and knees and seemed to be gasping and coughing.

"That's low." Alex said. "Then again, nothing the way that Gallade looks says Knight." He said.

"Shadow Break!" She shouted. Zack gave a grunt as a shadowy aura gathered around his arms and he extended his blades. Zack then charged forward as Feraligatr stood.

"Feraligatr Looked and jumped back as Zack passed by and skidded to a stop and looked over as the aura faded.

"Ice Punch!" Alex shouted and Feraligatr's claws became coated in icy energy and it balled them into fists and ran at Zack.

"Thunderpunch!" Lily shouted and electricity suddenly sparked from Zack's fist and he rushed Feraligatr and they both swung, slamming each other in the face and both got pushed back a bit. Both looked like good damage had been dealt to them.

"That screech made it so we take more Physical damage." Lily said. "But…"

"Screech again!" Alex said and Feraligatr tried to roar but instead started coughing.

"Sorry, Throat Chop makes it so voice based moves can't be used for a time." Lily said with a shrug. "Psycho Cut!" Lily shouted and Zack crossed his arms and swung them outward, launching blades of Psychic energy that both impacted Feraligator and caused him to stagger back.

"Liquidation!" Feraligatr roared and covered itself in water and dashed at Zack, who was hit by the move and flung back hard, but managed to land well. A ring of energy swirled around him as energy lines went downward.

"Okay, let's end this fast! Close Combat with Thunderpunch!" Lily shouted. Zack sighed and slammed his fists together causing them to become covered in electricity and he then charged Feraligator and started wailing with punches and kicks, mostly punches.

"Dang! Feraligator, Waterfall!" Alex shouted. During all the punches, Feraligator grabbed one of the hits and threw them to the side, knocking Zack off balance as Feraligatr covered itself in water and slammed into Zack and launched upward, bring Zack with and launching him higher. "That should do it!" He said.

"I don't think so! Shadow End!" Zack gave a loud and short cry as Zack was cloacked in a shadowy and dark aura, and then he shot down at the falling Feraligatr and slammed into it, causing them to fall hard to the ground, and causing a shadowy explosion. When the shadows cleared Zack stumbled back from the impact spot, and fell to the ground sitting up, panting, one eye closed. Fertaligatr lay unconscious.

"N-no way…" Alex said. "How did it endure those hits?"

"Feraligatr is unable to battle! Alex is out of Pokémon, thus, Lily is the winner!" The ref said and the crowd exploded in cheers as Alex sighed with a smile and recalled Feraligatr.

"Well dang. She's crazy." He said and walked over. Lily was waving to the crowd. "Congrats Lily, good Luck against Hana, she's as crazy as you." He said and stuck his hand out. Lily blinked and gave a big grin and shook his hand.

"Thanks! I wonder if it'll happen tonight." She said looking into the cloud covered sky.

"I doubt it, the clouds have set in." He said. "See ya!" Alex said and suddenly ran off.

[He's disappointed in himself.] Zack said walking over. [For losing I mean.]

Lily sighed. "I think I felt that too, he sure puts on a good poker face. Come on, let's go rest." She said and ran out. As she did she heard the Announcer.

"That concludes the first of Today's battles! Come back in a few hours for the next! Hana verses Keith!"

"Good luck against Hana hm? He thinks she's guaranteed a win." Lily said.

[Maybe she's that good?] Midnight said.

"We'll see when we battle her." Lily said as she ran over to Robin who was waiting by the exit. "Time to eat and rest!"

"I'm…so bored." A woman with Platinum blonde hair said.

"Oh come on we've been here an hour." A boy with curly hair said, shiny Gardevoir in tow.

"You know how she is." A Lucario said.

"Yeah yeah, and come on, if anyone should be excited here it's me, after all I get to see my sister." He said smiling.

A man in a black hoodie came out, blade at his hip with a smile. "Well, all set Stanley? Rina?" He said.

"Yeah yeah, just waiting Mike." Rina said.

"So you really know nothing?" Stanley said. Blizz groaned.

"Come on how bad do you think I am?" Mike said rubbing the back of his head. Stanley just stared. "I had nothing going on here. I was going to work here after you too meet up." He said

"Sorry, you keep a lot hidden." Stanley said.

"I know I know, for now, focus on your sister. A few hours and we'll be there." He said smiling.
