Hello everyone, Crystal here with a brand new chapter! This one and the next few chapters will be different than the previous ones so far. You'll see what I mean by the end of the chapter. Anyway, to the review!

To Isokage, yes I will use characters from the anime and/or the games. I don't think I can make that many OCs anyway. XD

Now, cue the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or Pretty Cure, I only own my OCs. I made this for fun and I hope you all enjoy.

Chapter 4: Enter Jubilife City

The trainers and Pokemon looked at each other in shock, Flora and Aria especially. "I don't get it," Flora started. "I thought once we used that attack, Shinx would be completely healed! Right?" Aria knelt down as she observed the Pokemon, eyes widening as she did so.

"We healed it alright." Aria said as she slowly picked the shiny Pokemon. "But that's not why it collapsed."

"What do you mean?" Holly asked calmly.

"Well, besides at breakfast, I don't think this Shinx has eaten in days." Aria told them as Lisia got a closer look. Her eyes widened as she realized what Aria meant. The wild shiny Shinx was skinny, skinnier than it should be. From a distance, it looked fine, but up close...

"We need to get Shinx to a Pokemon Center! And I mean right now!" Lisia exclaimed. The others nodded as Aria handed Shinx to Lisia, pulling out a device from her bag. Pushing a couple of buttons, she brought up a map of the Sinnoh region and zoomed into their location.

"The closest one to us is in Jubilife City." Aria told them as she put the device away.

"Then what are we standing around for? Let's go already!" Lisia didn't say another word as she started running towards Jubilife City, Aria close behind. Flora handed the egg to Magearna as she and Holly followed after them. Mew and Hoopa looked at each other and nodded. The genie Pokemon opened one of his rings large enough for Magearna to walk through.

"Mew, you and Magearna get back to the base with the egg." Hoopa told it. "Let Celebi and the others know the search is over. I'm going after the girls."

"Right, but what if you get spotted?" Mew asked as Magearna went through the ring.

"I'm part ghost type, remember? They won't even know I'm there." With that said, Hoopa turned himself invisible as Mew tilted its head. Knowing that the genie Pokemon made up its mind, it went on through the portal. Hoopa closed the portal as it went in the direction the girls went in.

It didn't take long to reach Jubilife City, given there weren't any distractions along the way. The city was bigger and busier than Twinleaf and Sandgem Town, many people were seen walking, heading to work or even just hanging out. Not far from the group was Amber and Riley. They had just left the Pokemon Center and were about to explore the city when they saw Flora heading towards them with Aria and two others they didn't recognize.

"Flora! Hey!" Riley called out as she waved. Amber waved as well, but were mostly ignored.

Flora looked back as she kept running and gave them a small wave. "Hi Amber and Riley! Can't stop! Pokemon emergency!"

Both girls blinked as they looked at each other, then decided to follow them as they all reached the Pokemon Center. As they ran in, a man with black hair wearing a long brown coat, suit, pants and grey shoes noticed them. Walking from behind a lamppost, the man stayed silent as he placed a hand on his chin. Inside the Pokemon Center was a lady with pink hair with two rings wearing a nurse hat, pink dress and white apron. Beside her was a pink Pokemon carrying a white egg in its pouch, it also wore a nurse hat with a grey cross on it, just like its trainer.

"Nurse Joy!" Lisia called out as she and the others came in. "Please help!"

"What seems to be the trouble?" Nurse Joy asked her as Aria came up beside Lisia.

"This wild Shinx collapsed in front of us." Lisia told her.

"I see. Chansey, we need a stretcher, stat." Nurse Joy told the Pokemon as she gave a salute before hurrying to the back. More Chansey came out with a stretcher as Nurse Joy took the shiny Pokemon and placed it on the stretcher. The Chansey took the stretcher into the emergency room as the others watched on.

"Nurse Joy, will Shinx be okay?" Lisia asked.

"I'll do everything I can to help it." Nurse Joy told her as she went inside, the emergency light turning on as they stayed silent.

"Well, I guess all we can do is wait." Flora said, breaking the silence. The others nodded as they walked over to the benches.

"I guess that explains why Shinx was at our campsite." She stated as she sat down, head down as guilt filled her eyes. "I didn't even notice how skinny it was."

Holly sat next to her and placed a hand on Lisia's shoulders. "There's no way you could have known about Shinx's condition." She told her as Lisia shook her head.

"But I've been trying to catch it ever since I saw it, that's all I cared about." Lisia told them as Aria sat next to her. "Some trainer I'd turned out to be."

"Now don't go blaming yourself." Aria told her as Flora sat on the bench in front of them. "Flora and I battled that Shinx too, and we didn't notice either."

"That's right." Flora agreed. "Though, it doesn't explain why it collapsed after eating."

"Maybe it couldn't hold it down." The girls looked around as Amber and Riley walked up to them. "Sorry for eavesdropping, but that's what I'm thinking." Amber said as she and Riley sat down next to Flora.

"No, I was starting to think that as well." Holly said after thinking for a moment. "It's good to see you girls again."

"You all know each other?" Aria asked, the others nodded to her. "Guess that saves the introductions."

"Guess so." Riley said with a small laugh before becoming serious. "So what happened anyway?"

"Well, it's like this..." Lisia began as she started explaining. As she did so, Hoopa, still invisible, phased through the wall and watched silently. Lisia told them how she encountered the shiny Shinx by chance, how she tried and failed more than once to catch it. How she went searching earlier that day, met Aria and Flora, and found Shinx stealing some pancakes. She made sure to leave out the parts about the mythical Pokemon, the mystery egg and Pretty Cure, plus how it grew giant.

"And that's what happened." Lisia finished.

"Man, at least Shinx didn't grow giant like that Glameow earlier." Riley said, making Aria and Flora look at her in shock.

"You're kidding right?!" Aria asked. Riley shook her head, then pointed over to the TV which was currently playing a clip on the news.

"Just as quickly as it came, the sky turned red as a Glameow grew to the size of a giant!" A giant grey cat with a spring shaped tail let out a meow as the sky turned red.

"As it roamed the streets, an unknown attack struck the Pokemon, reverting it back to normal size." 6 yellow beams struck the Pokemon, making it glow yellow before shrinking as the sky returned to normal.

"According to our resources, this phenomenon is the Dynamax phenomenon, a technique exclusive only to the Galar region that makes Pokemon grow bigger and stronger during Pokemon battles."

"How did this happen? Who or what returned the Glameow back to normal? Those are the questions we'll be looking into as we cover this latest scoop."

"This is Rhonda of Sinnoh Now, telling you to stay tune-ow!" Rhonda, a woman with long auburn hair, fell back as a boom microphone hit her in the face. Quickly standing up, she glared into the camera, specifically, at one of her co-workers.

"Jack?! How many times have I told you to hold that microphone up huh?!" She asked in anger.

"Sorry Rhonda." Her co-worker, Jack, said as the program went off. Lisia and Holly blinked as Amber giggled, Riley busting out laughing. Flora and Aria however looked at each other in confusion, before they remembered what Celebi said yesterday. Hoopa floated over to them and poked Flora on the shoulder, making her jump as she looked around. Aria looked at her in confusion before she heard snickering. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, walked behind Flora as she grabbed Hoopa, who yelped in surprise, becoming visible again.

"Hey girls, Flora and I will be right back." Aria told them as she opened her eyes and started to leave the building, Flora following her.

"Come on, come on! Let me go already!" Hoopa cried out as Aria and Flora walked into an empty ally. Aria did so, crossing her arms, Hoopa mimicking her. "Now what's the big idea?"

"How long have you been in there?" Aria asked.

"Since that girl, Lisia, started explaining what happened to Shinx. Man was that a shock." He said as he frowned, remembering how the wild shiny had collapsed.

"So was seeing that Dynamax Glameow on the news." Flora said. "Do you know when exactly that happened?"

"Um...No clue." The genie Pokemon replied.

"What do you mean no clue?" Aria asked.

"See, in order to know when someone is dynamaxing, I have to be back at the base." Hoopa said as he began to explain. "There I can look through this special mirror that only activates when a Pokemon Dynamax."

"Doesn't it get busy since a lot of Pokemon Dynamax in Galar?" Flora asked.

"Well, it does, but we also have region specific mirrors." Hoopa answered as he put his hands behind his head.

"And the one for Sinnoh did activate." Mew said as he appeared next to Hoopa, making them jump in surprise. Mew started giggling as it floated over to Flora. "Happened while you were on your way to the Pokemon Center."

"Just like at Lake Acuity." Hoopa stated as Mew nodded.

"So that third Precure that Celebi and Jirachi mentioned before, she was here?" Aria questioned, having a feeling that she might have been the one to reverse the Dynamax Glameow.

Mew shrugged, but nodded. "Maybe, we didn't see who actually did it, but Jirachi thinks so."

"Do you think she's still here in Jubilife City?" Flora asked. The pink cat Pokemon shrugged again, it wasn't exactly sure. Aria uncrossed her arms and placed them on her hips.

"I guess we should head back inside." Aria said. "Maybe once Shinx is all better, we can look for our mysterious ally."

"That's a good idea. In the meantime, Hoopa and I have to go back to the base." Mew told them.

"Let me guess, Celebi wants to see me?" Hoopa asked as Mew nodded.

"Yep. Just be prepared for another lecture." Hoopa groaned when he heard that. Mew giggled as it teleported them back to the base. Aria and Flora looked at each other and shrugged before heading back to the Pokemon Center. As they made their way back, Aria blinked as she saw someone behind a lamppost. She stopped as she closed her eyes, before opening them in surprise. "It's him." She said out loud as Flora looked at her in confusion.

"Who?" Flora asked.

"That man hiding behind the lamppost." Aria said as Flora saw the man. "I met him once back at the Battle Resort in Hoenn."

"What's his name?" Flora asked as they walked closer to the man.

"Um, I don't know to be honest." Aria said, uncertainty in her voice. "I hope he knows."

"You hope?" Flora questioned.

"Long story. Excuse me sir!" Aria called out to the man, who jumped in shock as he turned to them. The girls looked at each other in confusion as the man came towards them.

"You two? How did you know? How did you know I was a member of the International Police?" He asked them, making the girls look at him in surprise.

"International Police?!" Flora asked. Aria shook her head, sure it had been about a couple of years since she had seen the man, but this was new.

"Uh sir, we didn't know." Aria told him. The man shook his head as he crossed his arms.

"That maybe be so, but I refuse to believe that." He told them as the man gave them a genuine smile. "You recognized me as someone extraordinary, which is why you wished to speak with me. And the very same reason you helped me that day I found myself washed ashore with no recollection of what happened. Am I right Aria?" The girls blinked at his reasoning as Flora shrugged. Aria smiled as the man recognized her, so she nodded.

"I guess you can say that sir." Aria told him. "This is my friend Flora."

"Hello sir." Flora greeted, as the man brought out his badge.

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance. You may call me by my code name, Looker." The man, Looker, introduced himself.

Aria couldn't help but chuckle as she placed her hands on her hips. "Well, Looker, what's a member of the International Police doing behind a lamppost?"

"You see, I am on the lookout for suspicious characters." He explained to them. "Criminals who steal Pokemon for a living, as well as whoever caused that trainer's Glameow to Dynamax." Aria and Flora looked at each other in surprise, they didn't mention that on the news.

"Um, we're not on your list of suspicious people are we?" Flora asked, remembering how people gave Lisia stares earlier for carrying a shiny Pokemon.

"No no, of course not. However, I wish for you girls to do me a favor." Aria and Flora nodded as they listened to the request. "If you see any criminals, you must let me know. Anything suspicious at all, you hear?"

"Yes sir!" The girls answered. With that, they parted ways with Looker as the two of them walked into the Pokemon Center.

"Maybe once we know a little bit more about the enemy, we can tell him the situation." Flora whispered as Aria nodded in agreement. Having a member of the International Police as an ally might be a good thing, especially if being Pretty Cure was going to be a daily thing.

"What were you thinking Uranus?" Mercury questioned as the yellow haired girl returned to the base. Venus had also returned, listening to the lecture being given beside Neptune. "You should know better than to use dynamaxing in the middle of the city!"

"Well, how else was I going to collect dark energy?" Uranus asked as she crossed her arms.

"By doing it away from the crowds, that's how!" Mercury exclaimed, before groaning as she started to pace. "Honestly, what were you thinking? You're lucky you didn't get caught on camera."

"What I did was dragged out that Pretty Cure we faced back in Lake Acuity." Uranus defended. "That attack was the same one that defeated us before. Even if she didn't show herself, I know very well it was her."

"Hm, perhaps we can work this to our advantage." Mercury turned to Neptune as the green haired girl spoke up. "We know that all three Precure should be in the same place, right?"

"Definitely, they'll have to stick around for that shiny Shinx." Venus stated as she gave a shrug. "Not too sure about the last one though."

Neptune smirked as she pulled out a flyer and showed it to them. "She will if she wants the contest ribbon from the Jubilife Pokemon Contest happening in a few days."

"And why would she want a ribbon?" Uranus asked.

"This ribbon happens to have an Aura Crystal, one of the three needed in order for other Precure to awaken." Neptune explained as she pointed at the flyer. On the ribbon was a blue jewel, similar to the ones Pretty Cure has.

Mercury stayed silent as she recalled the jewels she had seen on Pretty Cure before they changed. "Go on." She insisted as Neptune wickedly grin.

A few hours later, the emergency room light was still on as the girls continued to wait. Lisia had continued to stare at the door leading to the emergency room. Aria sighed as she leaned back. How much longer was this going to take? That was the question that plagued their minds. A certain tune rang as the emergency light turned off, the girls stood up as Nurse Joy came out of the room.

"Nurse Joy? How is Shinx?" Lisia asked her, Nurse Joy giving her a comforting smile.

"Shinx is feeling a lot better now, having finally kept some food and is currently resting." She told her, making Lisia feel glad, before realizing what Nurse Joy said.

"Wait, Shinx couldn't hold anything down?" She asked as Nurse Joy nodded.

"It seemed to have picked up a stomach bug, causing it to vomit and not able to hold anything down." Nurse Joy explained. "I'm going to keep Shinx in here for a few days to monitor it for any more issues."

"I understand. Can I see Shinx right now?" Lisia asked.

"Of course follow me." Nurse Joy told her, making the Pokemon Trainer smile as she gave a thumbs up to her friends before walking in with Nurse Joy. The girls smiled, all of them glad that Shinx was going to be alright. Holly turned to Amber with a calm expression.

"Looks like you were right Amber." She told the girl as Riley out an arm around her friend.

"Of course she was, Amber knows everything there is to know about Pokemon." Riley said with a grin, making Amber blush in embarrassment.

"Well, not everything. There are still things I need to learn." Amber pointed out as she looked away. "Which is why Riley and I were going to go to the Trainer's School. You girls want to join us?" Aria and Flora shared a glance as they both nodded, agreeing to go to the with them. Holly however shook her head as she sat down.

"I'm going to wait here for Lisia, then I have to practice for the upcoming Pokemon Contest." She told them. "Maybe you girls want to stick around and watch, but it's okay if you don't. I understand."

"Of course we will," Riley told her as the others agreed. "Besides, the three of us need to do some serious training if we're going to compete in the Pokemon League, right Amber and Flora?" Amber and Flora nodded, though the latter hesitated a bit. Flora still didn't like the idea, but she knew she was going to have a Pokemon battle sooner or later. She turned to Holly with a small smile.

"Holly, when Lisia is ready, will you let her know I am accepting her challenge?" Flora asked her, with Holly nodding. "Thank you." With that, the four girls left the Pokemon Center and started to make their way to the Pokemon Trainer's School. Holly sighed as she looked around, before she noticed a familiar egg sitting next to her. Standing up in surprise, she slowly walked in front of the egg. She soon heard chatter coming from somewhere, but she didn't know where. Picking up the egg, Holly debated whether or not to follow after Aria and the others.

Holly blinked as she felt something like her shoulder, turning her head to look, but didn't see anything. Her face turned confused as she sat back down, before jumping back up as a loud squeak was heard. Spinning around, she blinked as she saw Victini rubbing its head, tears threatening to leak. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there!" She apologized as she knelt down, setting the egg on the bench.

"It's okay, you didn't know." Victini told her, though to Holly, it sounded like it was saying parts of its name. Victini knew that she couldn't understand it, but there was a reason why it had to be here. Though maybe turning invisible at first was not a good idea.

"You're a Victini, right?" The Pokemon nodded. "Did you bring the egg here?" Another nod. "But, why did you bring it here?" Victini floated in the air as it circled Holly before giggling as it touched the egg. "...You want me to...?"

"Take care of the egg." Victini said as the girl looked at the Pokemon in confusion.

"Why me?" She asked. "Why not Flora or Aria?" Victini floated over to a nearby poster, showcasing the Pokemon Contest happening this week. Holly grabbed the egg as she walked over to the poster. Victini pointed at the poster, making Holly more confused, until she took a closer look. Victini was pointing at the Contest Ribbon, specifically, the jewel on the ribbon. Then she realized, she had seen this jewel before, or rather, something similar. "That looks like the jewel on Aria's necklace, and Flora's bracelet."

Victini nodded as it waved its finger between the jewel and Holly. "Are you trying to say...?" Holly felt herself take a step back as Victini cheered, before pausing as one of the doors opened. Quickly hiding behind Holly, though not turning invisible, Victini stayed silent as the girl also stayed silent. Though she smiled as Lisia came up to her, her best friend beaming with every step. "I take it Shinx is doing well."

"Shinx is doing great, he even ate a berry I gave him." Lisia said, as she adjusted her bag. She then blinked as she pointed behind Holly. "Uh, why is there a Victini hiding behind your back? And how did you get that back?"

"Uh, well..." Holly said as she tried to come up when an answer, before Victini floated around them as it pointed between them and the picture of the jewel. "I think we better head to the Trainer's School."

"How come? Is that where everyone else is at?" Lisia asked. Holly nodded as Victini landed on Lisia's shoulder.

"Flora has accepted your battle challenge, and there are a few questions I want to ask her and Aria." She told her as she placed the egg into her bag.

"Great! Let me just get my Pokemon healed first, then we'll go!" Lisia exclaimed as she quickly went over to the desk counter. Victini sighed as the Pokemon shook its head, she didn't get the message.

"You were trying to say Lisia and I are...?" Holly didn't say the last word, but Victini knew what she meant and nodded. The girl took a deep breath as her eyes darted back to the poster.

"Interesting. Very interesting." Amber said as she was reading a book. She, Flora, Riley and Aria managed to reach the Trainer's School and explored it. They met many of the students and teachers there, though none of them was the mysterious ally Flora and Aria were looking for. After getting a tour of the school, Amber decided to do some research on the Dynamax phenomenon, with Aria's help. Riley took Flora out to the school's battlefield for some training before the latter had her battle with Lisia. Now here she was, in the school library doing what she loved most, researching.

"According to Professor Magnolia's research, space is warped during a Dynamax, making the Pokemon appear the size of a giant temporarily." Amber read out loud as Aria continued looking through the shelves.

"Does it say how Dynamax is normally caused?" Aria asked as she found the book she was looking for.

"Let me see..." Amber scanned each page until she stopped. "Found it!" She exclaimed as Aria sat down next to her. "Dynamax can occur when there is a power spot and/or the trainer has a Dynamax Band."

"Dynamax Band?" Aria questioned as she looked at her bracelet. "You mean like a Mega Bracelet or Z-Ring?"

"Yes. Dynamax Bands are fitted with a Wishing Stone, which are connected to dynamaxing." Amber put down the book as she frowned. "Though it doesn't explain why it is only possible in the Galar region. Or why it's happening now."

Aria opened the book as she turned to the page she was looking for. "I think this might help." She said as she moved the book so both of them could see. Amber looked at the older girl in confusion. "It's a book about the Darkest Day."

"The Darkest Day?" Amber asked.

"That and a bunch of other stories about each region's past." Aria explained as she looked through it. "Though it doesn't really explain a lot either, it should be a good start." Amber let out a hum as she scanned through the page.

"On the Darkest Day, Pokemon all over Galar started to grow to the size of giants." Amber read. "Two heroes fought against the one who started Darkest Day, returning everything to normal...That's it?"

"Well, nobody knew that Groudon and Kyogre could do Primal Revision until recently." Aria pointed out. Amber had to agree, news about the two legendaries fighting each other in a form know one has ever seen before had happened. And that was two years ago.

"Hm, point taken. So you think a Pokemon is the source of Dynamax?" Amber questioned as she closed the book she had been reading.

"That's what I'm thinking, though there isn't a detailed book about legendaries from Galar." Aria said.

"Maybe the library in Canalave City has more information." Amber guessed as she closed the other book.

"Maybe." Aria said as she crossed her arms over the table. Amber looked at the girl as a question ranged in her mind, one that she had to ask.

"Yesterday, at Lake Verity, did you and Flora see a Pokemon Dynamax?" She asked Aria, who blinked before slowly nodding. "I thought so, especially now that I did some research."

"Amber, we've been at this for almost an hour, maybe now would be a good time to take a break." Aria suggested. Amber shook her head as she stood up, going to the shelf where she got the book.

"There are still things I need to know about the Dynamax phenomenon." Amber stayed as she looked at each cover. Aria stood up as she walked over to the young girl. Closing her eye for a few seconds, she frowned as she crossed her arms again.

"We'll be in Jubilife City for a few days, you don't have to do it all today." Aria told her as Amber shook her head again. "Then why?" Amber stayed silent as she stopped looking before crossing her arms. Aria softened her frown as she placed a hand on Amber's shoulder. "Something is bothering you, and it has to do with what happened yesterday. Doesn't it?" Amber slowly nodded, not making eye contact with Aria. "You don't have to tell me, but I'm willing to listen." Amber looked Aria in the eye and saw she was serious. She let out a sigh as she turned around and sat on the floor, Aria sitting next to her.

"I guess since Flora seems to trust you, I guess I can too." Amber stated. "Okay, last night, I had a nightmare about what happened yesterday. The sky turned red, there was a Dynamax Starly attacking everything around it. You and Flora were there, and the Pokemon..." Amber stopped as she placed a hand on her heart. "It scared me so badly I woke up. Then I tried to go back to sleep and I gotten the same dream, but this time Piplup instead of Starly. I could see everything, but I couldn't move or say anything. What was worse is that because I couldn't do anything, you and Flora were..."

Aria stayed silent as she looked at the girl with surprise. 'She dreamed what happened yesterday before we transformed!' She exclaimed in her thoughts. 'But why?'

"After that, I woke up again, sweating this time. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and looked at the night sky. Another meteor shower happened and, well..." Amber pulled out a green jewel, just like Aria's.

Aria tilted her head as she looked at the younger girl, fear could be seen in the girl's eyes. "Well, we're okay. We haven't been hurt by any Dynamax Pokemon."

"But what if something bad does happen, and I can't do a thing!?" She asked, her voice raised a little as she looked at Aria frightfully. "I've always been the one to get my friends out of trouble, what if-!?"

"Take it easy!" Aria exclaimed softly, stopping Amber as tears threaten to leak as she wiped them away. "I get it, you're worried about your friends because this is all new and dangerous things are happening. But that's part of going on a journey. You're bound to run into some tough or dangerous battles, that's life. But your friends aren't alone, because they have their Pokemon with them." Amber stayed silent as she looked down, the big what if still hanging overhead. Aria frowned sadly as she saw herself in Amber, understood her fears. Taking a deep breath, she stood up and held out her hand.

"I can't tell you what you should do, because there will be times you can't do anything." Aria started. "But you believe in your friends right? Well, maybe that's all you need to do." Amber gave a small smile as she accepted Aria's hand. 'Because that's all I can do...for them.' She thought sadly to herself, pushing back the memories once again.

"And time!" Riley exclaimed as Flora collapsed to the floor, panting as Piplup and Kricketot stopped beside her. Currently she, her Pokemon and Riley were training near the battlefield outside. Though Riley's version of training included Flora running with her Pokemon to increase speed and stamina. How much did they improve? "You're timing was faster than the last one. Still need to work on stamina though."

"My Pokemon's stamina? Or mine?" Flora asked sarcastically as Riley scratched her head. At that moment, Aria and Amber walked just as the bell rang. Flora glanced at the clock and saw that it was lunch time. She sighed in relief, now she could take a break.

"Looks like we got here in time for lunch." Aria said as Flora stood up, taking off her jacket and tying it around her waist.

"Thank goodness. We could all go for something to eat right now." Flora stated, her Pokemon agreeing with her. Riley placed her hands on her hips as she turned to the brown haired girls.

"How did researching go?" She asked. Aria and Amber shrugged as Riley and Flora saw something new around Amber's neck. "What's that?" Riley asked.

"Oh, just a jewel I found last night. Aria helped me put it on a necklace so I can wear it." Amber explained as Flora looked down at her wrist.

"Kind of looks like the one I got at Lake Verity yesterday." She pointed out as Riley glanced at both of them before nodding in agreement.

"That's because they are the same kind of jewel." The girls blinked as they saw Lisia and Holly coming up to them, the latter who spoke up. "Just in a different color."

"I had a feeling that was the case when I compared it to Aria's jewel earlier." Amber figured as Aria nodded.

"Are you ready for the battle, Lisia?" Flora asked.

"Just about, but first..." Lisia looked towards her shoulder as she gave a nod. As if appearing out of nowhere, Victini was visible on Lisia's shoulders. The girls looked at the victory Pokemon in shock for two different reasons. For Amber and Riley, there was a Victini sitting on Lisia's shoulders. For Flora and Aria, Victini had allowed itself to be seen other than the two of them. Victini waved to them as the Pokemon floated over to Aria and Flora.

"Hi Pretty Cure." Victini said. "Um, can we find a place to eat without anyone else seeing us? Trust me when I say there's a good reason for this."

"Uh, why is there a Victini here?" Amber asked.

"Your friends are welcome to come too." Victini told them as Riley grabbed the Pokemon and started hugging it.

"Oh my gosh, you are so adorable!" Riley said as her eyes sparkled. "I can't believe there's a real Victini right here in Jubilife City!" Victini looked at the two with a somewhat worried expression.

"I guess this girl can come too." Victini said. "Something tells me she isn't going to let me go anytime soon." All Aria and Flora could do was stare at each other before they both let out a sigh. Looks like they had some explaining to do. Hopefully they would get an explanation to what is going on.

And done! As you can see, our main duo won't transform into Pretty Cure all the time. But that doesn't mean they won't miss out on the action either, I can guarantee you on that.

Anyway, thank you so much for reading, review if you can and I will see you next time!
