Chapter 3: New Friends
"How does that feel little one?" The girl asked as she rubbed the egg with a damp cloth. Pushing some of her black hair back, the girl looked over beside her. She was sitting at her own campsite with a couple of baby Pokemon playing nearby. One was a little yellow mouse with a black tail and black tips on the ears. The other was a blue round mouse bouncing around on an equally large round tail. Keeping an eye on them was a blue and yellow Pokemon with four little red circles on its back. When the baby Pokemon went by it, a flame would appear on its back before going out.
The girl smiled, she liked seeing her Pokemon enjoy themselves. Looking down at the egg, she giggled as she placed an egg on a soft cloth for it to rest on. "Don't worry little one, Holly is going to take very good care of you." Looking up at the sky, the sun was starting to set, the sound of Kricketot chirping started to feel the air. The girl, Holly, smiled as she called her Pokemon back. Holly had been wearing her usual outfit, light blue jacket over a black shirt, dark blue skirt and black shoes. Coming up to her was a girl with dirty blonde hair in a low ponytail, red jacket over a white shirt, blue jeans and orange sneakers. Walking beside her was a small, light green crocodile Pokemon with yellow stripe on its front and blue spines on its back and tail.
"How did shiny hunting go, Lisia?" Holly asked her friend as the girl, Lisia, sat down in a huff. "No luck I'm guessing."
"No I found one, but it got away." Lisia replied as she returned her Pokemon. "I was this close to getting a shiny Shinx! Then it used Fire Fang on Ledyba."
"A shiny Shinx knowing a fire type move?" Holly questioned, with Lisia nodding. "That must have been a rare one indeed."
"I know, and I'm not giving up until I catch that Shinx!" Lisia declared, before noticing what was beside Holly. "Hey, where'd you find that egg?"
"Over by the river while I was fishing." Holly told her as Lisia took a closer look at the egg.
"What kind of egg is it?" Her friend asked as Holly picked it back up and put it in her lap.
"I'm not sure to be honest. I've never seen a Pokemon egg like this before." Holly shrugged as she looked it over.
"So it could hatch it anything, maybe even a shiny Pokemon!" Lisia exclaimed, before realizing something. "But don't you think it could belong to someone? Or its parents could be looking for it?"
"Maybe, but who would be so careless to leave their egg by the river side with only two twigs to keep it in place?"
"How could you be so careless!?" Celebi shouted at Hoopa as the Pokemon looked down in shame. Flora, Aria, and all the mythical Pokemon were inside the secret base. Flora and Aria were comforting Magearna as Mew, Jirachi and Victini glared at the genie Pokemon. After finding out the egg had gone missing when Mew went back to check on it, they all hurried back to see for themselves. After searching for an hour, and with no luck, they tried to recall when was the last time they saw it. Jirachi last saw it before going to meet the new Precure. Celebi, Victini and Magearna remember seeing the egg before going to meet with Jirachi a couple hours later. Mew remember that the egg was there when the battle took place.
Then Hoopa, well... "Cut me some slack Celebi, this was a shock to me too!" It defended. "Some of the water from the ocean got into the base, so when I opened it up, I didn't realize the egg was swept away with it."
"Your ring wasn't even near the water when I came out of it." Mew pointed out, remember that it was near the girls rather than the ocean.
"Well I thought it was from the ocean, then it turned out to be fresh water. So all I did was send it back. How was I supposed to know the egg would get swept away with it?"
"You know very well how!" Celebi exclaimed. Before it could say another word, Flora got in between them.
"Guys, calm down, this isn't helping anyone." She told them as the girl looked over to Magearna, the metal Pokemon holding herself as Aria continued to comfort it. The other Pokemon calmed down as they saw how upset their friend was. Taking a deep breath, Flora walked over to the spot the egg was at. "I understand how you all must feel, but blaming each other won't bring the egg back. What we can do is search for the egg and bring it back safe and sound." Flora turned to the genie Pokemon and asked, "You do know where you returned the water, don't you Hoopa?"
"Well, I think I returned the water somewhere on Route 202." Hoopa answered, uncertainty in its voice.
"Then that's where we have to look. With all of us searching, we should be able to find the egg in no time." Flora stated, making the Pokemon feel hopeful.
"We can't search now though, it's already night time and we all need to rest." Celebi stated as she turned to the Jirachi and Victini. "Some of us are already asleep."
"Then it's settled, we'll all start searching first thing in the morning." Mew declared, with everyone else nodding. Hoopa opened one of its rings, the portal leading to the girls camping grounds. Flora waited for Aria as the older trainer and Magearna walked over to the portal. The younger girl looked at the older girl in confusion.
"I'd offer Magearna to sleep with us, so when morning comes we can get an early start." Aria explained. "That okay?"
"Of course it is." Flora said, offering the Pokemon a hand and a smile, Aria doing the same. Magearna, though still upset, accepted their offer and all three of them walked through the portal together. Hoopa then closed the portal behind them as Mew and Celebi went to bed, only Hoopa staying up as it looked down at its hands. Feeling guilty, it opened one of its rings and tried to go through it. When it got half of its body in there, a force pulled it back, making the Pokemon groan. "I'm sorry..." It whispered, before falling asleep.
The next morning, Lisia had gotten up early to search for the rare Pokemon. She had been walking for at least 30 minutes, and so far, she didn't see any sign of the Shinx. The sun was starting to rise into the sky as Pokemon like Starly and Bidoof were looking for breakfast. Lisia's stomach started growling as she stopped. Sighing, she held her stomach as she continued her search. Eating was going to have to wait till later. She stopped for a moment as she thought she heard something. Listening for a moment, she followed the source and hid behind a nearby tree.
Not far from her was Flora, Aria, and Magearna. They had woken up early as well to search for the egg, but weren't having much luck so far. Flora yawned as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. "Did we really have to get up so early?" She asked, looking in some grass patches.
"Yes. Yes we did." Aria answered as she surveyed the area for the blue egg. Magearna was looking in some of the bushes, but didn't have any luck.
"Where oh where can you be little one?" The Pokemon said as it looked around, but didn't spot the egg. Magearna let out a sigh as it looked into another bush. Flora continued looking in the grass when a Pokemon appeared in front of her. Surprise, she took a few steps back as she pulled out her Pokedex.
Kricketot, the Cricket Pokemon.
A Bug Type.
It chats with others using the sounds of its colliding antennae. These sounds are fall hallmarks.
Putting away her Pokedex, she brought out Piplup's Poké Ball. Taking a deep breath, she mentally prepared herself. Aria noticed what Flora was about to do, "Piplup, I choose you!" Flora called out as the penguin Pokemon came out, ready for battle. "Piplup, use Pound on Kricketot." She commanded. Piplup nodded, flipper aglow as it ran towards the cricket Pokemon and hit it. Kricketot shook itself as it glowed white for a moment, something Aria noticed.
"Pound again!" Flora called, Piplup doing so, with Kricketot glowing again. "Pound once more!" She ordered again, with Piplup about to do so.
Aria's eyes widened as she realized something. "Flora, don't have Piplup attack again!" She exclaimed.
"Huh? Why?" Flora asked, Piplup pausing as well.
"That Kricketot is using Bide." Aria told her, which made Flora confused, before realizing what she meant. Looking at the Pokemon, she saw that Kricketot was glowing white before sending a beam towards Piplup.
Flora gasped, "Dodge it!" Before Piplup could move, the attack struck Piplup, making it cried out in pain. "Piplup, are you okay?" She asked her Pokemon, who quickly stood up and nodded. Flora felt herself relax as she focused on Kricketot. The Pokemon seemed to be getting tired as it waited for Piplup to make its move. Going into her bag, she pulled out an empty Poké Ball and threw it at the wild Kricketot. The Poké Ball hit the Pokemon as it glowed red and went inside. When it landed, the Poké Ball shook once, then twice, three times, before making an audible click.
Flora's eyes widened as she felt herself smiling as Piplup jumped into her arms. "We did it Piplup! We did it!" She said as she hugged her Pokemon. Walking over to the Poké Ball, she picked it up and struck a pose. "I just caught a Kricketot!"
"Pip Piplup!" Piplup cheered in Flora's arms, before wincing in pain. Flora noticed and put her Pokemon down, let Kricketot out as she got two Potions from her bag. Aria walked over to her as Flora tended to her Pokemon.
"Great job Flora." She told the younger girl as she put away the potions.
Flora smiled as she stood up, Piplup and Kricketot already getting along. "Thanks Aria. I still can't believe I manage to not only capture a Pokemon, but battle as well."
"Not as bad as you thought it was going to be huh." Aria said as Flora shook her head.
"I just wish I had realized earlier Kricketot was using Bide." Flora said as Magearna walked up to them.
"To be fair, it took me a moment to realize that it was using that move too." Aria stated as she rubbed the back of her head. Flora giggled as Aria let out a small laugh.
"You did very well Cure Pearl." Magearna said as Piplup and Kricketot turned to the mythical Pokemon.
"Thank you Magearna, but we already told you and the others to just call us by our actual names."
"Of course Cu-...I mean Flora. Sorry, I'm still getting used to that." It said as it turned to the Pokemon. "You don't mind if I ask our new friend a few questions, do you?"
"Go right ahead, but first, Kricketot?" The cricket Pokemon turned to Flora as she began to introduce it to everyone. Behind the tree, Lisia watched with wonder as she tilted her head. When Lisia went shiny hunting, she had expected to find that rare Shinx. What she didn't expect to find two trainers with a mythical Pokemon. 'I wonder which one of them owns that Magearna.' She thought to herself. Her stomach growled again, this time louder, making her blush. Fearing she had been spotted, she hid herself again.
Aria however looked in that direction, having heard something like a growl. Frowning, she closed her eyes for a moment, before opening them. Then started to walk over to where Lisia was hiding. Lisia gulped as she stayed still for a moment, when she didn't hear any footsteps, she peeked from her spot, and didn't see anyone. "Phew." Turning around, she found herself face to face with Aria. "Whoa!" The girl jumped as she was driven out of her hiding place. Aria followed suit as they came into the clearing.
"What's the big idea?" Lisia asked as she frowned.
"I could ask you the same thing." Aria pointed out as she crossed her arms. "Why were you spying on us?"
"I wasn't spying on you guys!" Lisia said a bit too quickly, Aria's frown deepening as the girl realized this. Sighing, she rubbed her left arm. "Look, I was searching for a particular Pokemon when I saw your friend over there catch that Kricketot. That's all." Her stomach growled again as she felt herself blush again. Aria hummed as she closed her eyes, putting her arms down as she opened them again, a smile on her face.
"I believe you." Aria said as she placed a hand on her hip. "I take it you haven't eaten breakfast yet."
"No. I wanted to get an early start. My friend should be up and making breakfast by now though." Lisia said, her blush disappearing.
"We haven't eaten breakfast either. The two of us and our Pokemon friend have been doing our own search." Aria said as she looked over to where her friends were at. Lisia felt suspicious as she crossed her arms.
"What kind of Pokemon are you looking for exactly?" She asked, leaning in close, making Aria blink.
"Actually, we're looking for a Pokemon egg." Aria told her, which made Lisia blink in confusion.
"A Pokemon egg?" She asked, with Aria nodding. "Huh. What's it look like?"
"Uh, you know, I'm not sure." Aria said, realizing that neither she or Flora asked what the egg looked like. "Only Magearna knows what it looks like."
"Magearna, as in, the mythical Pokemon Magearna?" Lisia asked. Aria nodded as she looked back at her friends. Judging from where she was, it seemed Kricketot hadn't seen the egg either. Lisia thought back to yesterday when Holly found the mystery egg. Looking over at Magearna, judging by its movements, it seemed disappointed. "Tell you what. My friend found this egg yesterday, why not come over for breakfast and see if it's the egg you are looking for. In return I want to have a Pokemon battle with either you or your friend. Deal?" She offered.
Aria thought about it, then smiled. "It's a deal. Just let me make sure it's okay with my friends before we shake on it."
"Fine by me. I'm Lisia by the way."
"Aria. My friend over there is Flora. I'll be right back." With that, Aria walked over to Flora as she returned her Pokemon, Lisia waiting as she watched from her spot.
"How you feeling this morning Mercury?" Venus asked as she walked over to her comrade. Mercury frowned as she turned to the girl, her arm covered in bandages.
"I'd feel better if I had eliminated those two when I had the chance." She replied, her voice raised a bit as Venus held her hands up.
"Whoa there! I was just asking. No need to take your anger out on me." Venus told her, making Mercury sigh in frustration. "How long do you have to stay off the field?"
"A few days, a week at the most." Mercury said as she looked at her wrist. "But even then I can't collect dark energy while my Shadow Band is being repaired. And I have no idea how long that will take."
"Hm..." Venus hummed as she put her hands behind her head. Then her eyes sparked as she got an idea. "What about if you went undercover as a Pokemon trainer?"
Mercury looked at her with a bored expression. "Venus, I'm already a Pokemon trainer."
"I mean, be a Pokemon trainer as "not" Mercury. But the one the boss sees you as." Venus explained as Mercury turned herself around to her. "Hear me out. You know there's going to a time even with Dynamax that a wild Pokemon isn't going to listen to you? Right? Right! So! What do you do? You do what basically every Pokemon trainer does, go for gym badges."
"Okay, I can see where this is going to end, but how will this benefit our mission?" Mercury questioned.
"Well, Pretty Cure are trainers too right? And you know who they are when they aren't transformed so..."
"So I can infiltrate their ranks and learn more about the enemy. Venus! You are a genius!" Mercury finished as Venus gave a wicked grin.
"Naturally. Now if only those other two would listen." Venus said as Mercury formed a plan in her head. She started pacing as Mercury made calculations in her head, then remembered her predicament.
"It will have to wait until my arm heals. Until then..." Mercury groaned as she turned to her ally. "I guess I'm going to have to leave the collecting to you and those other two."
"You can count on us!" Venus said as she saluted. Mercury groaned again. This was going to take a while, wasn't it?
Holly had just finished making lots of pancakes when she saw Lisia finally coming back with some trainers she didn't recognize. She did however recognize the Pokemon that was walking alongside them, and wondered what a Magearna was doing in the Sinnoh region.
"Yo Holly! I want you to meet my new friends!" Lisia called out as they reached the campsite. After Aria told Flora and Magearna what was going on, they'd agree on checking what kind of Pokemon egg Lisia's friend had, though Flora wasn't sure about the Pokemon battle. On the way, Magearna explained what the egg looks like, also realizing that no one had described the egg to the girls. Holly kept a neutral expression as she eyed her bag, making sure the mystery egg was there. It was, but Holly didn't want to take any chances. So she went over and zipped her bag up, hiding the egg as Lidia and her new friends made it over to the table.
"Girls and Magearna, meet my best friend Holly." Lidia introduced, as Holly stood up, a small smile on her face as she waved. "Holly, meet Aria, Flora and Magearna."
"Hi." Aria and Flora said as Magearna waved. Holly blinked as her eyes laid on Magearna, was something wrong?
"You don't mind if they join us for breakfast, do you?" Lisia asked as Holly nodded.
"Sure, I'll get some Pokemon food out for Magearna." Holly said as she went over to her bag, her back facing the others as she grabbed a can of Pokemon food. "Do you need any for your Pokemon? I've got plenty."
"Thank you, two bowls will be fine." Flora said as she brought out Piplup and Kricketot.
"My Pokemon are good. I fed them before the sun got up." Aria declined as she and Flora sat at the table. Lisia let out her Pokemon as Holly filled three bowls with Pokemon food before setting them down. One of them was an orange ladybug Pokemon. Holly then let out her Pokemon as Lisia set down five bowls already filled with food. The Pokemon already started chowing down on their food as the trainers did the same. The only one not eating was Magearna, something Holly noticed. Aria noticed too as she dug into her bag. Pulling out an Oran Berry, she started to break it into smaller pieces before getting up and bringing them to Magearna.
"Magearna, you have to eat if you're going to keep up your strength." Aria told her as she sprinkled the pieces over the food. "I know you are still upset, but we are going to find that egg. And even if this one turns out to be a different egg, we'll keep looking until that it's found." She told the metal Pokemon in a soft tone. Magearna looked up at the girl and knew she was right, so it decided to eat, but at a slower pace. Aria smiled as she stood up and observed the Pokemon. Holly silently watched before her eyes drifted over to her bag.
'Could they be talking about the egg I found?' Holly thought to herself. 'Maybe that's why Lisia brought them here. Should I even show them?' She wasn't sure what to do. So she continued eating as she observed the two girls.
"Wow, a Cyndaquil, Pichu, and Azurill. Plus a shiny Totodile and Ledyba." Flora said in awe as she observed the Pokemon.
"Yep! You won't find anyone else with Pokemon like mine, unless they are extremely lucky." Lisia said as she took another bite. "Maybe you'd like to battle against us after we eat?"
"Uh well..." Flora said as she shifted in her seat, trying to come up with an answer. Something caught her eye as she turned to Aria's plate and saw a yellow and black cat Pokemon eating the pancakes. Lisia noticed too as she stood up in shock.
"You!" Lisia shouted as the Pokemon stopped eating, making everyone turn to them. "Thought you could sneak a bite under my nose huh? Well not this time Shinx! You're mine!" The Pokemon, Shinx, grabbed the last pancake off the plate before making a dash sprint sprint towards the woods. "Oh no you don't! Totodile, Ledyba, after that shiny!" Her Pokemon stood at attention as ran after the wild Shinx, Lisia following suit as the others watched, unsure whether to follow or not.
Holly sighed as she shook her head, at least Lisia and her Pokemon finished eating before they went shiny hunting again. "So that's the Pokemon Lisia was looking for earlier." Aria said as she got into her seat. More pancakes were placed on the plate as Holly sat back down. "Thanks Holly." Aria said as she started eating her pancake.
Holly nodded as she turned to Flora. "About Magearna, has she been feeling well lately?" She asked her eyes laid on the mythical Pokemon. "Magearna is a she, right?" Magearna looked up from eating and nodded. Holly gave a small smile as Flora nodded. Aria nodded as well, making a mental note to ask the other Pokemon if they'd prefer a certain gender or not. It would make things easier.
Flora looked down as she sighed. "Truthfully, Magearna has been upset ever since the Pokemon egg has been lost."
Holly's eyes widened in shock. "You'd lost a Pokemon egg?" She asked, trying not to raise her voice.
"Well, we didn't. One of our Pokemon friends lost it, accidentally." Flora stated, thinking about Hoopa.
Holly clenched her fist under the table as she looked down. "When did it go missing?" She asked.
"Yesterday. By the time we found out, it was already getting dark." Flora answered.
"We decided to search for the Pokemon egg early this morning, for Magearna." Aria added as she finished her breakfast. "Lisia said you found a Pokemon egg yesterday. Would it be alright if we check to make sure it is the same egg we're looking for?"
"No. I don't think so." Holly stated as she stood up. Aria and Flora looked at each other as Magearna stopped eating. The other Pokemon did so as well.
"Why not?" Aria asked as she and Flora stood up.
"It is true I found a Pokemon egg yesterday, but even if it turns out to be your egg, I can't trust you with it." Holly told them.
"What?" Magearna asked as she stood up.
"Again I ask, why not?" Aria questioned as she crossed her arms.
"For one thing, you're blaming one of your Pokemon for something that was your own fault." Holly answered as her voice started to raise. "If either of you were better trainers, you would take full responsibility for your mistakes and not blame it on one of your Pokemon. It's no wonder why Magearna is upset. So no! I won't show you that egg because from what I can tell, you are both irresponsible trainers!"
Flora and Magearna looked stunned as Aria glared at the girl, anger rising within her. "What we told you was the truth. We didn't lose the egg, because it wasn't ours to begin with."
"So you're egg thieves?!" Holly accused.
"Excuse me!?" Aria questioned, voice slightly raised as she clenched her fist. Flora looked between the two girls, seeing sparks fly between them.
Pretty Cure! Dynamax alert!
Flora blinked as she looked around, until she gasped. "Aria!" She exclaimed as she pointed up at the sky. Aria stopped glaring as she turned to the now red sky.
"Oh no. Not again." Aria whispered. Holly looked confused as she looked up at the sky, before feeling the ground shake as she looked in the direction Lisia had gone. Her anger washed away as she gathered her things and returned her Pokemon except Cyndaquil.
"Cyndaquil, let's go!" Holly said as Cyndaquil got on her shoulder. Putting on her bag, Holly was about to move before Aria grabbed her arm. "Let me go, my best friend is over there!"
"So is something else bigger than you can handle." Aria told her as Holly glared at her.
"I don't need advice from some irresponsible trainer like you!" With that, Holly managed to break free of Aria's grip and ran off towards unknown danger. But to Aria and Flora, they knew what was going on. Flora returned her Pokemon as she looked at Aria with worry.
"Are you going to be okay?" Flora asked as Aria turned to her.
"She doesn't realize what she's getting into." Aria said, her anger washing away as she looked down.
"Maybe if I told her exactly what happened, maybe she would have listen to us." Flora said, looking down as well.
"You did tell her the truth Flora, and neither of you have anything to be ashamed about." Magearna said as they looked at her. "I will explain things to her, with Hoopa and Mew's help of course."
"Are you sure that's okay?" Aria asked. Magearna nodded just as Mew and Hoopa appeared behind her, both knowing what was going to happen.
"Celebi might get disappointed in me for doing so, but I will not let your reputations be tarnished by false conclusions." She told them as she turned to Hoopa and Mew, who both nodded in agreement.
"This is my fault anyway." Hoopa admitted. "You two just focus on returning that Dynamax Pokemon back to normal. Leave the rest to us!"
"Right!" They said as they linked hands. Going through the motions as their jewels shined, they shouted, "Aura Transform! Precure Style!"
"Lisia?!" Holly cried out as the ground continued to shake, but not to the point she couldn't keep balance. Reaching a clearing where Lisia was, she stopped as her eyes widened in shock and fear. Standing in front of them was a giant Shinx, but it wasn't a regular Shinx. No. It was the Shiny Shinx from before.
"Holly?" Lisia called out, standing in front of the giant Pokemon with Totodile in her arms. Holly gasped as she felt herself stiffen, neither one of them moved because the giant shiny Shinx was glaring right at Lisia.
"Pretty Cure! Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Venus exclaimed not too far from the Dynamax Shinx. Looking at her wrist, she could see dark energy gathering the longer the Pokemon was Dynamax. But she was getting bored pretty fast. "What's taking them so long? They were there when Mercury did this." Looking around, she saw that one of the trainers that showed up was slowly trying to reach the other one.
Venus had seen the first trainer battle that wild Shinx, and had lost her Ledyba to it. Given what move the Pokemon used, Venus figured it would be the perfect candidate to Dynamax with. Her grin started to turn wicked as an idea formed in her head.
"You okay? What happened?" Holly asked in a whisper as she placed her hands on Lisia's shoulders.
"I'm fine. Though I wish I knew." Lisia whispered as the wild Pokemon growled at her.
"Dynamax Shinx!" Venus called out, making Holly and Lisia realise there was someone else besides them. "Use Max Flare!" Both girls froze in fear as fire started to gather around the Dynamax Shinx's mouth. Both shut their eyes as Cyndaquil and Totodile stood in front of their trainers, both gathering their own attack in order to counter it.
"Pretty Cure Aura Dia Freeze!" They heard someone say as a grey beam hit the giant Pokemon, turning it grey as if frozen in time.
"Pretty Cure Aura Pearl Warp!" Another voice shouted as someone else appeared behind them. "Return your Pokemon, quick!" Both girls didn't ask questions and did as they were told. Holly felt a hand on hers as the person said, "This might feel funny at first."
"Huh?" Was all Holly could ask before the area around them turned pink. Then in a flash, they were now a few feet away from the giant Pokemon as time started to flow within it again, releasing the fire attack as the sky turned brighter, but was still red. Both girls felt a bit dizzy after that as they slowly stood up. Adjusting their eyes, Holly and Lisia saw two young female adults with long hair and wearing dresses standing in front of them.
"The jewel of time, Cure Dia!" Cure Dia exclaimed as she posed, diamond giving a small gleam before fading.
"The jewel of space, Cure Pearl!" Cure Pearl exclaimed as she posed, pearls also giving small gleams as they too faded.
"Together we are Pretty Cure!" They said as she posed again before pointing at the Dynamax Shinx.
"Oh dark soul who's lost its sight," Pearl started. "We guardians shall restore your light!" Dia finished.
Holly and Lisia stared in awe, though for some reason, something felt familiar about them. Venus closed her jaw shut after she witnessed the Pretty Cure's power. Then she started laughing, making her presence known. "Wow! You guys are as fun as Mercury said." She told them as Pretty Cure glared at her.
"You call this fun? Dia questioned.
"I fail to see how forcing Pokemon to Dynamax and using them to hurt others is considered fun." Pearl stated, frowning as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Well, guess I'll have to show you. Dynamax Shinx, attack them!" Venus ordered as Shinx roared. Pretty Cure jumped into the air as the battle between them and Dynamax Shinx began. Holly and Lisia watched as Magearna, Mew and Hoopa appeared in front of them, making them jump in surprise.
"Hehe! Did we surprise you?" Hoopa asked as more laughter escaped it.
"A Hoopa and a Mew?" Lisia asked as Holly looked at the metal Pokemon.
"Magearna, what are you doing here?" She asked as she let out a series of beeps. Holly looked confused as mew spoke up.
"Magearna said that she's here to do some explaining." Mew explained as Hoopa stopped laughing.
"Explaining? If you mean about your trainer and her friend then-!" Hoopa got into Holly's face, making her stop.
"Then listen to us. Those trainers that you're accusing are the ones who just saved your life!" Hoopa told her as Magearna nodded.
"What's he talking about?" Lisia asked Holly, before looking at Hoopa. "You are a he right?"
"Eh, I'll take it." Hoopa said with a shrug before pointing at Holly. "Now you're going to listen to us and not say anything before you get the whole story. Hopefully that will change your perspective of them. Because anything you just accused them of should be directed at me!" Holly stayed silent and nodded. While she already made up her mind, she was curious as to what was going on.
Fighting continued in the background as Hoopa and Magearna, with Mew translating, explained the whole story. How the egg went missing, how Pretty Cure was helping them, and why some of the details were held back. By the time they were done, the battle was ending as well. "Jewels of time and space." Cure Pearl began as her pearls started shining. "Transcend together into the gleaming light." Cure Dia finished as they brought their hands back. "Pretty Cure Aura Jewel Pulse!"
The attack washed over the Dynamax Shinx as it was healed of its wounds and returned to normal. Though confused, it didn't leave as it stayed in place. "Aw, the fun's over?" Venus asked, disappointed at the turn of events.
"Afraid so..." Dia told her as Venus perked up.
"Call me Venus. We'll have fun next time Pretty Cure. See you soon!" With that, she vanished.
"Not too soon I hope." Pearl said. They turned around as they heard footsteps walking towards them. They stayed silent as Holly and Lisia walked up to them, as did the mythical Pokemon. Lisia looked at Holly, giving her a knowing look. Holly sighed as she took off her bag, placed it on the ground, and brought out the egg. She held it out to them as she held a somber expression.
"I'm sorry." She said as they looked at her in confusion. "They explained everything to us. To me." Pretty Cure stayed silent as they listened to her. Lisia put a hand on Holly's shoulder as her friend continued. "I shouldn't have lost my temper, but I did and that's no excuse. I should have kept my mind open, but when I first saw you... I guess I already made up my mind and nothing you'd say was going to change that."
Pretty Cure looked at each other as they changed back. Flora accepted the egg and held it as they continued to listen. "I don't expect either of you to forgive me, but if there's a way to make it up to you..." Holly felt hands on her shoulders as she looked up at Aria.
"You already did by keeping the egg safe." Aria told her, with Flora nodding in agreement. No words needed to be said as Holly gave the trainer a hug, making Aria blink before slowly returning it. Lisia smiled as she put her hands behind her head. She was glad her friends were getting along. The shiny Shinx walked up to them, making them all turn to it. The wild Pokemon gave them a weak smile, before slowly collapsing on its side as the world went black.
And done! Thank you so much for reading, review if you can, because I like to know what you think.
Have a happy early Valentine's Day and I'll see you next time!
