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 10: Cure Emerald
It didn't take long for Amber to reach the Oreburgh Gym after seeing her friends become Pretty Cure. Currently, she was standing in front of the gym, trying to decide whether she should go in or not. "Okay, your first gym battle." Amber said to herself. "The gym specializes in Rock Types, meaning Turtwig and Machop will do fine during the battle. And hopefully the strategy with Starly will work out just fine." Amber looked confident as she said that, before frowning. She planned to use everything she had learned since she started her journey.
Amber looked down at her Aura Crystal as her face turned into concern. "Course, you are the only one who hasn't become a Precure. Or show any signs of using Aura." Biting her lip, she shook her head before turning determined. "But that's okay! I am a Pokemon Trainer now, and I'm going to pass any challenge that comes my way! And that means with my first gym badge!" Nodding to herself, she walked over to the door, until she got knocked down.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" Amber frowned, she knew that voice. Looking in front of her, she saw Riley had been knocked down as well.
"Maybe you should do the same Riley." She said in an annoyed tone, standing up as she did so. Riley realized who she bumped into and gave Amber a sheepish smile before standing up.
"Sorry about that." Riley apologized before grinning. "I just got so excited because I actually did it!" Amber blinked as she realized what Riley meant.
"You mean you got the gym badge?" She asked her, Riley nodding in response. "Hey, that's great!"
"I know, right?" Riley's eyes sparkled for a moment before remembering something. "Oh yeah, I told the gym leader that you and Flora were going to challenge him sometime today. He's healing his Pokemon right now, so are either of you ready?" Amber frowned as she took all that in.
"Well, Flora has decided to challenge the gym leader tomorrow." Amber started before smiling. "And I'm all prepared."
"Great! Good luck in there!" Riley told her, Amber nodding to her. "By the way, where is everyone?"
"Uh, well..." Amber started to lead Riley away from the gym as she began to recall what happened earlier. In the back of her mind, she wondered if Flora and the others reached that Ponyta's herd.
"Here we are." Ponyta said after the group walked for 10 minutes. The girls and Pokemon stopped as they saw a large herd of Ponyta and a larger version of them with a horn on their forehead, Rapidash. The girls looked in awe as this was the first time they had seen this many Ponyta or Rapidash. Manaphy smiled as it was about to jump off Ponyta's back to go and hug each of the new Pokemon, but Holly stopped it before it could.
"Manaphy, I know you want to say hi, but you might startle them instead." Holly told the baby mythical Pokemon, who pouted but stayed put. Aria let out a chuckle as she looked at Holly.
"Can't blame Manaphy for wanting to do so." She said as Holly looked at her. "It has been only a couple of hours since it hatched."
"I know, but the last thing we need is to scare the herd away." Holly pointed out as Ponyta shook her head.
"My herd is not frightened easily, but it would be best if you four stayed back." Ponyta told them, with Flora translating what the Pokemon said. The four trainers nodded as they took a couple of steps back. Ponyta nodded to Shinx, the shiny Pokemon following the fire horse Pokemon through the crowd. Mew and Victini floated near them, both of them agreeing to help out with the explanations if needed. Lisia frowned before turning to the others.
"If they explain what's going on, are we ever going to get an explanation?" She asked as he others frowned.
"Come to think of it, Celebi seemed a bit...reluctant to tell us." Flora said as she remembered how Celebi was when they told Lisia, Holly, Amber and Riley about Precure. Aria crossed her arms, then closed her eyes and activated her Aura Sight. The others noticed how she seemed focused, and so they all decided to use Aura Sight as well. With Aura Sight, they could see many white auras coming from the Pokemon. Flora, Lisia and Holly frowned, the auras seemed to blur together so they couldn't tell which one was the Ponyta they knew.
Aria however scanned the herd until she spotted Lisia's Shinx next to the Ponyta they knew and two Rapidash. She assumed they were Ponyta's parents, with Mew and Victini floating near them. Aria opened her eyes as she took a deep breath. "Looks like they're all in the middle of the herd." She said as the others opened their eyes and looked at her.
"How could you tell?" Holly asked.
"Yeah, all the auras looked alike." Lisia pointed out as Aria shrugged.
"One of the perks of Aura Sight is being able to search farther than what the normal eye can see." She said as the others looked confused, which Aria noticed. "Uh, it's like zooming in with a camera. That's the best I can explain it." The three girls understood that as Aria pointed towards the middle. They could see two Rapidash standing next to each other, though they couldn't tell what was happening.
"Hey, you two understand Pokemon easily, can you tell if it's going well?" Lisia asked. Aria and Flora shook their heads. "Why not?"
"Too much talking." They said at the same time before looking at each other. Laughter escaped their lips, though not loud enough to disturb the herd. Lisia and Holly looked at each other and then at the herd. The herd did seem to be talking with one another, some louder than others. The two best friends let out a chuckle as Manaphy looked at everyone in confusion. Why were they laughing? Manaphy looked at the herd and saw how some of the younger Ponyta were having fun. Manaphy looked up at Holly and the other girls as they all had big smiles, and that made it smile too.
"Manaphy." It decided laughing meant you were happy, so Manaphy started laughing as well. After all, it was happy as well, and if Holly and the others were happy, so was it.
A couple of hours later, now late afternoon, Amber and Riley walked out of Oreburgh Gym, stretching as they did so. "Man, that was an awesome battle Amber!" Riley exclaimed as Amber placed a hand on her chest.
"Really, cause I was certain I was going to lose that last round." Amber said as Riley patted her on the back.
"Come on now, you had it in the bag." Riley said as they walked to the Pokemon Center. Amber gave a nervous chuckle as she remembered the battle. While she had managed to defeat the first two Pokemon easily, the last one was harder than she expected, wiping out two of her Pokemon. It was a miracle that she managed to defeat it.
"Hopefully Flora will be able to handle it tomorrow." Amber said as Riley looked at her friend in confusion.
"Are you kidding?" She asked before grinning. "Flora has the blood of a champion within her. Of course she'll be able to handle it!" Amber rolled her eyes as they walked inside.
"The blood of a Contest Champion you mean." She said as Riley shrugged.
"You know what I mean." Riley let out a small laugh as they reached the counter. "She's a born battler, that's for sure!" Amber gave a small smile as she remembered Flora's first battle. She definitely had the talent for it, but would it be enough? Amber looked around before frowning.
"Where's Nurse Joy at?" She asked as Riley looked around in confusion.
"Maybe she's in the back?" Riley asked as one of the doors opened. A Chansey came out as it went to the counter. "Hey Chansey, where's Nurse Joy?"
"Chansey." Chansey handed them a note, both girls reading it before sharing a look.
"She's doing some checkups on the wild Pokemon in Oreburgh Mine?" Amber asked as Chansey nodded before bringing out a tray.
"Chansey?" The Pokemon asked, the two trainers smiling as they nodded. Chansey was offering to heal their Pokemon in Nurse Joy's place. Amber and Riley brought out their Poké Balls and placed them on the tray, three from each. Chansey gave a smile before going taking the tray to the back of the room.
"That's nice of Chansey to heal our Pokemon." Riley said as Amber nodded. Chansey was a very trained Pokemon.
"Um, excuse me?" Amber and Riley turned to see a girl standing behind them. The girl had brown hair that reached to the middle of her back, two red clips in her hair. She wore a white shirt under a black vest, a red ribbon on her chest and skirt, and black boots. "You two haven't seen an Abra around here, have you?" The girl asked them, eyes filled with worry. Amber and Riley frowned as they shook their heads no. "Oh no..." The two friends looked at each other before walking up to the girl.
"Do you live around here?" Amber asked. The girl nodded in response.
"Yes, I live in the apartment complex here in Oreburgh City." She told them. "My name is Hilary, Lass Hilary."
"A Lass trainer huh, nice to meet you." Riley said. "I'm Riley, and that's Amber. We're both from Twinleaf Town."
"Oh so you're here to challenge the gym, right?" The girl, Hilary, guessed.
"Did and done." Riley said as she smirked. Amber shook her head before turning to Hilary.
"How come you asked us about an Abra?" She questioned, making Hilary frowned.
"Well, you see, my Abra has ran away." Hilary told them, making Amber and Riley confused and surprised.
"What do you mean?" Amber asked as Hilary let out a sigh.
"It's like this..." Hilary started as she sat down on one of the benches. She told them how her father worked in the Oreburgh Mine, working all day and leaving no time to spend with his family. It was driving her parents apart, so one day, Hilary decided to visit her dad at the mines. She had found out that her father was searching for a special stone, though she wasn't sure what kind. If that was the reason he was staying all day, then all Hilary had to do was find the stone. And if she did, her father would have to come home more often. "...Kazza, my Abra, tried its hardest to find the stone. But after searching for a week, I was ready to give up. Then Kazza up and vanished."
"How long has he been gone?" Amber asked.
"About three days." Hilary said as tears started to fill her eyes. "Four if I don't find him today."
"Hey now, there's no need to worry." Riley told Hilary as she placed her hands on her hips. "Maybe Abra went back to the mines to find the stone. Have you checked there?" Hilary shook her head, wiping away her tears.
"I haven't gone back to the mines yet." She told them. "My father actually spotted me and told me to go home the day Kazza ran away. And mother was furious when she found out I went to the mines, so I can't go there anymore. They don't even know he's ran away." Amber and Riley frowned as they looked at each other. Nodding, they turned to Hilary as they sat beside her.
"We can go check the mines tomorrow for you and see if we can find your Abra." Amber told her, making Hilary smile.
"Really?" Hilary asked before frowning. "I couldn't let you do that. There are a lot of strong Pokemon like Onix in those mines."
"Hey, we just got our first gym badge." Riley pointed out. "I think we can handle a few Onix. Besides, we can get our friends to help search the mine. Strength in numbers right?" Hilary just smiled before standing up, turning and giving them both a big hug.
"Oh thank you! Thank you!" She exclaimed. Letting go, she looked at the clock, it was now 5:00pm. "I have to go home. Please let me know if you find my Abra, and thanks again!" With that, she left the Pokemon Center just as Chansey finished healing their Pokemon.
"Chansey!" The Pokemon called out, Amber and Riley standing up and walking to the counter. Grabbing their Poké Balls, they hurried outside. If they were going to find Hilary's Abra, they needed to get help from the others.
"Oh man, I have to work with her?" Venus questioned as she looked through her assignments. Uranus raised an eyebrow as she turned to the orange hair girl. "Look! Just look at all of this!" Venus handed the papers to Uranus who scanned over the work before smirking.
"I don't see the problem." Uranus told her ally as she handed the papers back. "She's loyal to the boss, and you even get your own grunts."
"She doesn't have a sense of humor! That's the problem!" Venus exclaimed as she folded her papers up. "Honestly, I'm just glad I don't have to work with her until later on." Uranaus rolled her eyes as she started to leave.
"Well, that first assignment should be easy enough." She said as Venus put her assignment papers away. "How about Neptune and I give you a hand once I get back?"
"Oh, Uranus actually willing to help someone?" Venus asked in fake surprise. Uranus gave her a glare that quickly made Venus rethink her answer. "Uh, I mean, sure! Whatever you say!" Uranus nodded before vanishing. Venus released her breath as she relaxed. "Man, Uranus is scary sometimes." Venus looked at the time, then yawned. It was 8:00pm. She decided she would start her assignments in the morning. As for Uranus, she had arrived at her destination. She was inside a tunnel, lights strung near the ceiling. She looked around, some of the Zubat were leaving the area, probably to go find food.
Uranus tried to stop herself from yawning, but failed as she felt herself getting drowsy. She wouldn't admit it, but she was tired. Yet, she knew if she wanted to catch Pretty Cure off guard, she had to plan ahead. "And if you try to come stop me like with that Glameow..." She stopped as her ears perked at the sound of rocks being smashed. Walking towards the source, she saw a yellow Pokemon currently teleporting, dropping rocks and trying to smash them. "Hm? An Abra?" The Pokemon, Abra, heard her and was about to use Teleport to escape. Uranus however frowned and vanished, confusing the Abra.
Uranus reappeared behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "You're not the only one who can Teleport." She told the Abra, making the Pokemon turn as she crossed her arms. "Not often you find an Abra in the mines. Care to explain what you're doing?" Abra frowned, who did this human think she was? Uranus's frown deepened as she looked around. From the way some of the rocks were destroyed, it seemed this Abra was training. Trying to learn a new move perhaps? Pulling out a tablet, she scanned the Pokemon as data was gathered.
"Hm...Aha!" The Abra looked at Uranus in confusion as she put the tablet away. "You know, I can help you out with your training, even teach you some moves you can learn." Abra looked at her in surprise. "However!" Uranaus paused as she turned around. "I need you to help me take care of some...obstacles of my own." Abra frowned again as he tilted its head. This wasn't his trainer...then again. He wasn't making much progress, and he needed to find that stone. If this human was willing to help it...
"Do we have a deal?" Uranus asked. Abra stayed silent for a moment before nodding. Uranaus hid a wicked grin as she thought, 'This will work out just fine.'
By the time Amber and Riley found Flora and the others, it was late. So after telling them about the missing Abra, they all agreed to go to Oreburgh Mine first thing in the morning. And once morning came, they all headed straight for the mines. "So the reason it took so long to get back was because Ponyta's parents wouldn't let her go?" Amber asked, Flora nodding as Ponyta walked beside them, giving the three mythical Pokemon a ride.
"They were very skeptical, not even Mew and Victini could convince them at first." Flora said. "Eventually, Hoopa and Celebi showed up and managed to smooth things along."
"And they would only let me go if they saw me in battle." Ponyta said, Flora translating. Riley, who had been listening, grinned as she placed an arm around Flora.
"So that's how you managed to get yourself a Ponyta." Riley said. Flora nodded as she rubbed Ponyta's ear. She had been chosen as Ponyta's opponent, and the battle ended in a tie. The leaders of the herd then allowed Ponyta to go with her, but only in a certain Poké Ball, a Heal Ball.
"Who knew that Rapidash had a Poké Ball preference." Lisia said as they continued walking.
"My mother used to belong to a trainer before being released." Ponyta said as she shook her head. "Apparently worked at a Poké Ball factory in Kalos before coming here to Sinnoh." Flora translated again for the others, Holly shrugging afterwards.
"That would explain why." She said before looking at Aria. "Good thing you had a Heal Ball already."
"I've got all kinds of Poké Balls during my journey in Hoenn." Aria told her before shrugging. "You'd be surprised how some Pokemon have a preference despite being wild."
"They must also like staying in them, because we've never seen any of your Pokemon beside Sceptile." Riley said to Aria, the others agreeing with her.
"Well, that's...hey! We're here." Aria said as she stopped. The others stopped as they looked ahead and saw she was right. Up ahead, they saw they had indeed reached Oreburgh Mine, or at least the outside area of it. There were some miners working hard at the mines. Some were digging coal out of the ground or helping sort it. The area was very organized, with conveyer belts moving the coal into a larger pile. Up ahead was the entrance to the mine. They looked around but didn't see the Abra.
"I bet that special stone is deep inside." Riley said.
"And that's probably where Kazza is." Amber added. "Let's go see if we can find both of them."
"Right!" They all agreed as they made their way towards the mines, the miners focused on their work. The group reached the entrance and walked inside. Inside, the mine continued downward into a smaller entrance, but large enough for vehicles to come in and out of. Amber closed her eyes, trying to see if she could use Aura Sights or even sense the Abra. The area was dark blue and grey, making Amber smile. She was finally using Aura!
However, she stopped as she saw a faint Aura from somewhere. Opening her eyes, she looked at the spot where she saw it, one of the rocks near the left side of the wall. She tilted her head as she walked towards the wall. The others looked at her in confusion as they followed her. "Hey Amber?" Aria asked as Amber touched the wall. "What are you doing?"
"I finally got to see an Aura." Amber said calmly, though inside she was leaping with joy. "And I saw one over here in the wall, but it was faint."
"Faint?" Holly asked as she, Aria, Flora and Lisia activated Aura Sight for a moment. Aria smiled as she recognized the Aura.
"I think you found something good." Aria said as she saw a nearby pickaxe, went over and grabbed it before banging at the wall. After a few cracks, a small part of the wall fell down, revealing something brown within it. Aria sat the pickaxe down as Amber grabbed the object and pulled it out. It had a smooth round stone on top with four spikes around it.
"What is it?" Lisia asked as they all got a good look at it.
"It's a Pokemon fossil." Aria said as she crossed her arms. "Sometimes when there is a faint Aura, it usually means there's a Pokemon fossil."
"That is so cool!" Riley said before turning confused. "What kind is it?"
"Um, truth be told..." Aria started as they all turned to her with anticipation. "I have no idea." The others face-faulted when they heard that. Aria shrugged as one of Hoopa's rings appeared, Celebi flying out before it closed. Manaphy, who had been in Holly's arms, jumped out of them and gave Celebi a surprised hug. Startled, Celebi landed on the ground as Holly gasped.
"Manaphy!" She exclaimed as she picked up the Pokemon. "Don't do that again, understand?" Manaphy looked confused as it tilted its head, making Holly sigh. Amber handed the fossil to Riley and picked up Celebi.
"You alright Celebi?" Amber asked as Celebi nodded before floating away.
"Uh, yes. Just surprised that's all." Celebi shook its head before smiling at Manaphy. "I see Manaphy is doing very well."
"Yep!" Flora said. "It mostly listens to what Holly says." The green Pokemon smiled when it heard that. Then it let out a gasp as it hid behind Amber, Mew and Victini doing the same. Manaphy followed their lead, climbing into Holly's backpack, thinking they were playing a game.
"Now what?" Amber asked. Then they heard footsteps behind them, making them turn to see someone heading their way. It was a man with short cordovan hair and eyes wearing a red helmet, black shirt under a grey jacket that reached his elbows, with the ends gold and black. He also wore grey gloves, pants and black boats. He also had black rimmed glasses. Amber and Riley immediately recognized the man and smiled. "It's Roark."
"Yeah. Hey Roark!" Riley called out as she waved. The man, Roark, smiled as he saw them.
"Hey Riley. Amber. Doing some training down here?" Roark greeted as he reached them.
"Not exactly." Amber said as Riley waved a hand towards the others.
"These are the friends I was telling you about." Riley told him. "That's Aria, Lisia, Holly and Flora with her Ponyta." The four of them said hello, Ponyta nodding in response.
"Nice to meet you all. You can call me Roark the Rock." Roark introduced himself before giving a small laugh. "Just kidding, you can just call me Roark." The girls giggled in response. Roark smiled until he saw the fossil in Riley's hands. His eyes sparkled as he took a good look at it. "Whoa! Did you find this fossil Riley?"
"No, Amber did." Riley answered as she handed the fossil to Amber. "I was just holding it a moment."
"I got to say, that's a pretty lucky find Amber." He told Amber, who smiled shyly as she nodded. Then she frowned as she placed the fossil in her bag.
"Actually, Roark, we're trying to find an Abra for a friend of ours." She told him, Roark looking confused before he realized what she was talking about.
"You wouldn't happen to be talking about the Abra that's been smashing rocks lately, would you?" He asked as they all nodded. "I've seen him down the next floor. Looked like he was searching for something."
"And he finally has!" An unfamiliar voice exclaimed as they turned to the source. Standing not far from them was the missing Abra and Uranus. "Finally showed up, ey Pretty Cure?" The girls and Pokemon, minus Manaphy, freezed up at that, Roark turning confused.
"Pretty Cure?" He asked. Amber and Riley shook their heads before turning serious.
"Alright, who are you? And what are you doing with that Abra?" Amber asked, Uranus giving her a wicked grin.
"Names Uranus, and you could say I was helping this Abra out." She told them. "And now he's going to help me out, by getting rid of you pests!"
"Hey! Who you calling pests?!" Riley questioned as she glared at the enemy. Roark took a step forward as he brought out a Poké Ball.
"I'm not sure what's going on." He started. "But if it's a battle you want, I'd be happy to give you one."
Uranus frowned as her wrist glowed red. "My battle is with Pretty Cure. But if you care to join in, I have no complaints. Ready Abra?" Abra nodded as it floated forward, Amber and Riley looking confused. Why was Abra listening to her? That wasn't his trainer, Hilary was. Mew and Victini grabbed Manaphy and hid behind Amber and Riley as Aria, Flora, Lisia and Holly stepped forward. Lisia and Holly bringing out their Aura Crystals as Aria and Flora linked hands. Roark looked at them in confusion as Riley tugged him back.
"Trust me, you're going to want to stand back for a moment." She told him who, while confused, did what she said. The mythical Pokemon peeked from behind as Flora returned Ponyta real quick.
"Abra, Dynamax!" Uranus exclaimed as the red beam hit Abra, making the Pokemon grow to the size of a giant. It let out a roar as the ceiling above them turned stormy and dark red. The four girls nodded as they went through the motions.
"Aura Transform! Precure Style!" Four pillars of light surrounded them for a moment, making everyone shield their eyes. When it died down, the four girls had transformed.
"The jewel of time, Cure Dia!" Dia declared as she posed, diamond gleaming.
"The jewel of space, Cure Pearl!" Pearl declared as she posed, pearls gleaming.
"The jewel of the land, Cure Ruby!" Ruby declared as she posed, rubies gleaming.
"The jewel of the sea, Cure Sapphire!" Sapphire declared as she posed, sapphires gleaming.
"Together we are Pretty Cure!" They declared as they posed together, Cure Ruby standing beside Cure Dia and Cure Sapphire standing next to Cure Sapphire.
"Our Precure spirit is fired up!" Cure Ruby started as she pointed.
"So dark soul who's lost his sight!" Cure Pearl said as she pointed.
"If you dare to cross us!" Cure Sapphire joined in as she pointed.
"We guardians shall restore your light!" Cure Dia finished as she pointed. Roark looked surprised and amazed at what he saw. Riley smiling as she finally got to see her friends transform. Amber frowned as she thought about their...battle speech. That was all she could call it. If she were to become a Pretty Cure, it might get a bit lengthy. She shook her head, maybe she could bring it up later. Pretty Cure got into fighting stances as Abra stared down at them, though it was hard to tell given that it's eyes were closed.
"Dynamax Abra, why not show them fast you are." Uranus told the Pokemon who nodded just as Pretty Cure charged at him. As they jumped into the air, Dynamax Abra teleported away, surprising them. They didn't have time to react before they were sent flying thanks to Abra. Then it teleported in front of them before smashing them to the ground.
"Whoa! That's fast!" Riley exclaimed. Roark nodded as he observed the Dynamax Pokemon.
"It sure is, using its speed to not only dodge it's opponents but to attack as well." He enlarged his Poké Ball as he stepped forward. "A good strategy, but let's see how it handles-"
"Wait! Don't!" Celebi cried out as she appeared in front of Roark, startling him. "Not that I'm questioning your Pokemon's strength, but that Pokemon isn't in it's right mind." Amber frowned as she watched Cure Sapphire tried to use her attack, but Dynamax Abra grabbed her and tossed her into the others. Amber looked at her friends and then at the Dynamax Pokemon. Nodding, she ran towards the Pokemon, Roark following behind her, Poké Ball still in hand. "No don't!"
"Let them try Celebi." Riley told her, making the mythical Pokemon turn to her. "Neither one of them is a pushover." Celebi frowned but stayed put. Riley did have a point, and it knew that.
'But it is dangerous.' Celebi thought as Amber and Roark stopped near Pretty Cure, who were slowly getting up.
"Okay, that Abra is way too fast for us." Ruby admitted.
"If I could use my attack on it, Pearl and I could purify it." Dia said, frowning. "But it's moving too fast."
"All you have to do is keep it from moving, and I know the perfect move." Roark said as he tossed his Poké Ball. "I choose you, Cranidos!" The Poké Ball opened as the Pokemon was released. Cranidos was a blue and grey dinosaur with a round head and four spikes around it, kind of like a spear. "Cranidos, use Stealth Rock!" Cranidos let out a roar as multiple sharp pointed rocks appeared, some enlarging a bit before scattering to the floor. Dynamax Abra appeared after it had teleported, and some of the rocks attacked him.
"Good strategy, except now we might get hit instead." Sapphire pointed out as the others nodded in agreement. Stealth Rock attack if the opponent moved, and they didn't want to see if they could dodge it.
Amber took that moment to take a deep breath before exclaiming, "Kazza!" The Dynamax Pokemon looked at her, surprised that she knew his nickname. "You're Trainer is very worried about you! She wants you to come home!"
"Who cares about that?" Uranus asked. "After all, the reason why Abra left is because he felt he wasn't strong enough."
"That's not why!" Amber told her, glaring at the enemy. "He came here to find something to make his trainer happy." She turned to face Kazza, softening her glare. "But instead, you're making your trainer very sad. She wants you to come home!" Kazza frowned as he looked conflicted, they were both right.
"Weakling." Uranaus said softly, not to be heard. But Amber did, her glare hardening as her Aura Crystal glowed.
"We'll see about that!" She declared as she went through the same motions as her friends. "Aura Transform! Precure Style!" A green pillar of light surrounded her, the wind blowing a bit as it did so. Once it died down, Amber had completely changed. Her hair was green and in a low ponytail, curling as it reached her knees, four smaller ponytails near the top and reached her shoulders. She wore a green dress with yellow frills at the skirt and round sleeves. Black lines were seen on the torso, connecting the shoulders and to the beginning of the skirt. She wore green gloves and boots with yellow circles on them. At her elbows and knees, two flaps with black edges were attached. A green ribbon with black edges was also at her waist.
The green Aura Crystal split into five, one heading for her chest, two in her hair and one on each wrist. Opening her eyes, now dark green, she struck a pose. "The jewel of the skies, Cure Emerald!" Five emeralds appeared, a green ribbon also appeared on the chest. They all gleamed together as she did a different pose. "Just like the sky, my Precure spirit is unlimited." She frowned as she pointed. "Can't say the same for my patience, so I hope you're prepared to face this Guardian, cause I am!"
Wasting no time, Cure Emerald took to the skies. At high speeds, she punched Dynamax Abra, sending it flying back. Emerald noticed the rocks coming at her and managed to dodge them, making them hit Dynamax Abra instead, causing more damage. "That gives me an idea." She said as her emeralds started glowing. "Precure Aura Emerald Shower!" Pointing her hands to the skies, green projectiles appeared above Dynamax Abra. They then rained down, striking the Pokemon as they exploded on contact. "Now! While you got the chance!"
Cure Dia and Cure Pearl, who had been in a trance from seeing Cure Emerald move, nodded as they linked hands. "Jewels of time and space." Pearl started, pearls shining.
"Transcend together into the gleaming light." Dia finished, diamond shining as well.
"Pretty Cure Aura Jewel Pulse!" They shouted, sending the twin beams of light towards Dynamax Abra. Kazza felt his injuries heal before returning to normal size. Any damage to the mine was restored as Uranus vanished, falling as she did so. Cure Emerald turned to the others, Pearl quickly running and giving her friend a hug.
"Cure Emerald." Ruby said as Sapphire smiled.
"Now all of us have awakened." She said before frowning. "I suppose anyway." Dia nodded as Roark patted Cranidos on the head before returning his Pokemon. Riley went up to Kazza and held out a hand and a smile. He looked up at her, confused.
"Come on, let's go see your trainer." Riley told him, Kazza smiling as he nodded, taking Riley's hand, before teleporting them away. The girls were surprised as they changed back, Roark gave a small laugh as he turned to the girls.
"Looks like he's gone home, with Riley with him." He said before fixing his glasses. "Now, how about we head to my gym and talk about what just happened." It wasn't a question, but they knew they had to tell him. He had a right to, given Roark did see them transform, plus saw Celebi. Flora blinked as she processed what Roark said before looking shocked.
"Wait? You're the gym leader?!" She questioned.
And done! Next up will be Flora's first gym battle, if the explanations don't take too long.
Thank you all for reading, review if you can and I will see you all next time.
