Chapter 12: Dynamax Fossil Pokemon, Flora vs. Roark - Part 2
Last time, after being told why the enemy is dynamaxing Pokemon, Flora was finally having her first gym battle against the Gym Leader Roark. So far, Flora has managed to defeat Roark's Geodude with her Kricketot, who's evolved into Kristine during the battle. Flora then switched with Ponyta while Roark called on his Onix. During the battle, Ponyta's hidden ability, Flame Body, activated, giving Onix the burn status. With both Pokemon still standing, the question still remains, who will win?
"Ponyta, use Double Kick!" Flora commanded, Ponyta reading up before charging.
"Onix, use Slam!" Roark ordered, Onix letting out a roar as it lifted its tail. As Onix used Slam, Ponyta stopped and used Double Kick at the same time. Both attacks collided, neither side giving in. Onix however pushed through, sending Ponyta back. While Ponyta managed to land on her hooves, she started panting. Onix, while didn't looked tired, roared in pain as the burn took effect before dying down.
'Ponyta is getting tired.' Flora thought. 'But Onix has to faint at some point. Should I take that chance and switch?' She looked at her Pokemon, who was digging her hooves into the ground.
"Onix, use Stealth Rock!" Roark called out, Flora gasping. Small orbs appeared around Onix before forming into large rocks and scattering around Ponyta. "If you were going to switch Pokemon, you should have done so before now." Flora frowned, she knew that it would be risky to switch now. Ponyta snorted, pounding her front hooves down as she prepared for another charge. Turning her head to her trainer, Ponyta looked at Flora, waiting for a command.
Flora took a deep breath before nodding. "Ponyta, use Tackle!" The Pokemon nodded as she got a running start.
"Onix, use Screech!" Roark ordered.
"Not this time!" Flora exclaimed. "Use the speed from Tackle to dodge it, and don't slow down!" Ponyta nodded as she started to build up speed, dodging the Screech attack and started circling the rock snake Pokemon. Onix stopped it's attack as it tried to focus on the opponent. However, it was moving so fast it couldn't focus.
"Use Rock Throw!" Roark called out, hoping to slow Ponyta down.
"Keep up the speed and dodge those Rocks!" Flora commanded, Ponyta smirking when she heard that. As Onix used Rock Throw, using bigger rocks, each one aimed at Ponyta missed. Ponyta smirk widened as she dodged the last rock, Onix and Roark turning surprised. The rocks that missed formed a barricade around Onix, leaving the rock snake Pokemon not much room to move. The burn took effect again, Onix roaring in pain before dying down. "Finish with Double Kick!" Ponyta ran on the large rocks before jumping in the air and delivering the attack. Onix let out a roar as it crashed onto the ground, destroying some of the large rocks as dust flew around it.
When the dust settled, Onix had swirls in its eyes. "Onix is unable to battle, the match goes to Ponyta!" Ian declared, Ponyta smiling before kneeling down. Flora frowned as she brought out Ponyta's Heal Ball.
"You were great Ponyta, get some rest." She told her Pokemon before returning. Roark did the same as he returned Onix.
"Get some rest Onix." He told his Pokemon before bringing out his last Poké Ball. "Now Cranidos, you're up!" Flora frowned as Roark's last Pokemon was called out. Cranidos let out a roar as Roark smirked. "Think you can take down my next Pokemon just like you did earlier?"
"We'll see." Flora said as she brought out her Poké Ball. "Kricketune, let's go!" Kricketune came out, ready for battle, though he cried out in surprise when the Stealth Rocks hit it.
"There's Stealth Rock in action." Holly said as she and the others frowned.
"Yeah, and it's going to stay like that until Cranidos has been defeated." Lisia added.
"Cranidos isn't an easy Pokemon to defeat." Amber stated, Riley nodding in agreement. "Let's hope Flora can end this quickly."
"With both Kricketune and Ponyta tired and Flora having one Pokemon she still hasn't used?" Aria asked as she frowned. "We'll see." Once Kricketune shook off the pain, he was ready for battle.
"Kricketune, use Fury Cutter!" Flora ordered, making the first move. Kricketune let out a cry as it headed towards Cranidos, arms glowing red as it prepared to strike. The attack struck the opponent's head before backing up. Cranidos however smirked, not feeling any pain. Kricketune looked surprised as it got into a fighting stance.
"Use Headbutt!" Roark called out, Cranidos ramming into Kricketune at high speeds. The cricket Pokemon slammed into a rock before shaking it off.
"Use Mud Slap!" Flora called out, Kricketune using the attack towards Cranidos.
"Counter with Flamethrower!" Roark ordered.
"Flamethrower?!" Flora questioned, shock filled her expression as a stream of fire came out of the Pokemon's mouth. The attack pushed through the Mud Slap and hit Kricketune, causing it to cry out in pain before it ended. The cricket Pokemon fell back as it was scorched and had swirls in his eyes.
"Kricketune is unable to battle, the match goes to Cranidos!" Ian declared, the Youngster trainers cheering as Cranidos held its head up high. Flora frowned as she returned her Pokemon.
"You did your best Kricketune, get some rest." She told her Pokemon as she brought out the Heal Ball. "Ponyta, you're on!" Ponyta came out again, getting hit by Stealth Rock before shaking it off, panting. Flora frowned as she looked at her Pokemon in concern, Ponyta was still tired. She didn't know how long the fire horse would last.
"Cranidos, use Pursuit!" Roark ordered.
"Counter with Double Kick!" Flora commanded, knowing Ponyta didn't have enough energy to dodge. Cranidos came in fast with Pursuit, Ponyta standing on her hind legs before using Double Kick with her first legs. Both Pokemon pushed against each other before breaking away. "Double Kick again!"
"Use Headbutt!" Roark called out. Ponyta waited until Cranidos got close to her before standing on her high legs, ready to attack. However, Cranidos aimed for the stomach, attacking there as Ponyta was sent flying back. The fire horse Pokemon cried out in pain as it was sent into a rock, the wind being knocked out of her lungs. Panic filled Flora as she watched her Pokemon try to stand up, accidently activating Aura Sight when she closed her eyes. Ponyta's Aura was blazing in one of her legs, the same leg as last time. Flora opened her eyes, now filled with worry and fear.
'Ponyta can't keep going like this!' Flora exclaimed in her thoughts. 'This is the second time her leg has been injured, and there is definitely something wrong with it. But what do I do? Do I return Ponyta only to send her out later?' Roark noticed the panic expression on Flora's face, then looked at Ponyta. When the fire horse Pokemon tried to stand, Ponyta cried out in pain as it tried to stand up. He frowned as he turned to Ian.
"This match is over." Roark declared, to the confusion of Flora and everyone, minus Aria, in the stands.
"Why is Roark stopping?" Lisia asked. "Can he do that? Call the match off even though it wasn't made by the referee?"
"He can." Aria answered. "A gym leader is capable of determining whether a Pokemon is able to continue or not, even if there is a referee. As for why..." Aria closed her eyes and used Aura Sight for a moment before opening them. "Ponyta's leg has been injured, and it's the same one."
"Like last time?" Holly asked, thinking back when Ponyta was forced to Dynamax. Aria nodded, turning concerned for the Pokemon, as did the other girls. Flora took the opportunity to run up to her Pokemon, who looked at her with shame in her eyes.
"It's happened again." Ponyta said as she looked down. "Anytime I get hurt, it's always this leg that gets hurt."
"I'll have Nurse Joy take a look at it once we get to the Pokemon Center." She told her Pokemon, stroking Ponyta's mane, though not being burned. "For now though, I want you to rest as much as you can."
"But the battle..." Ponyta protested.
"I still have one Pokemon left." Flora pointed out. "And you've been giving it your all. Trust me, you deserve this rest." Ponyta looked into her trainer's eyes and saw how serious she was. She let out a sigh before nodding, Flora giving a small smile before returning the Pokemon. Roark walked up to Flora as she stood up.
"Has your Ponyta ever been injured like this?" He asked her, Flora nodding.
"Happened when she was forced to Dynamax." She said in a low voice, Roark frowning as he understood. He then placed a hand on her shoulder, making her look up.
"We don't have to continue this if you want to go ahead to the Pokemon Center." Roark told her in a gentle tone. Flora looked down before shaking her head.
"I'll admit, I would prefer to do that, but I want to keep going." She told him before lowering her voice. "I still have one Pokemon left, and I would like to finish what my Pokemon and I have started." Roark pushed his glasses back as he nodded.
"Alright." He said. "But next time something like this happens, try to stay calm. Your Pokemon can sense your fears and it doesn't make things easier. The better you stay calm, the easier it will be on the Pokemon." Flora flinched before nodding. She did panic, but she did try to keep calm so she wouldn't break down. Both trainers went back to their side of the field, Flora taking deep breaths as she'd calm herself down.
Over at the museum, around the same time as the battle, 'Marina' and 'Skyla' were currently waiting next to one of the restoration machines. They had put a Pokemon fossil inside, hoping to see the restoration process happen. Though after finding out it would take 6 hours for it to happen, they had no choice but to wait.
"Who knew it was going to take so long?" 'Marina' said as she briefly went out of her disguise, 'Skyla' doing the same, given they were alone in the room. "I mean, I knew it was going to be awhile, but 6 hours?" She let out a whistle as Uranus frowned.
"Can we wait that long?" She asked. Neptune gave her an annoyed glance as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Can, or do we have to, you mean?" She questioned back, knowing full well what her ally had been asking. Uranus rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms. "Believe me, Uranus, this will be all worth it in the end."
"Can't we just steal the machine?" Uranus asked. "Then we wouldn't have to be stuck inside."
"You'd have to be an idiot to try that." Neptune said with a bored expression. "We'd not only blow our cover but also earn the attention of the police." She then frowned as she changed back into her disguise.
"Just an idea." Was all Uranus said before changing back into her disguise, the room now silenced as both girls stayed quiet.
"Piplup, I choose you!" Flora called out, her final Pokemon ready for battle, though he cried out in surprise when he got hit with Stealth Rock. Shaking it off, Piplup stared down at his opponent, Cranidos doing the same. 'This is it, the final round. Amber and Riley have won their battles, I have to do the same.' Taking a deep breath, she turned determined as Piplup got into a fighting stance.
'So she's going with a Water Type this time.' Roark thought to himself. 'Smart move, but shouldn't underestimate them, given how well her other Pokemon have fought.' Glancing at his referee, he nodded to him, who nodded back.
"Alright, final match, begin!" Ian declared.
"Cranidos, use Headbutt!" Roark ordered, Cranidos charging head first.
"Dodge it!" Flora called out, Piplup barely able to move out of the way.
"Try again until you land a hit!" Roark called out, Cranidos nodding as it kept ramming towards Piplup, destroying rocks in its path when it missed.
"Piplup, jump into the air and use Bubble while spinning!" Flora ordered. Piplup nodded as he jumped into a rock before jumping again, Cranidos breaking the rock it had used. Piplup then started spinning as it used Bubble, hitting the fossil Pokemon and causing major damage.
"Use Pursuit!" Roark commanded. As Piplup started to land, Cranidos came in fast with Pursuit, attacking the Pokemon and sending the penguin Pokemon flying. Once Piplup hit the ground, he quickly got back up. "Now use Flamethrower!"
"Counter with Bubble!" Flora called out, both Pokemon firing their attacks at each other. Fire and bubbles collided, pushing back against each other. The attacks soon stopped once it exploded, creating a lot of steam, making it hard to see the opponent. Flora frowned as she thought back to her battle with Elena and her Sobble. This was like then, but this time neither Pokemon could see each other. "Piplup, stay calm!"
"You do the same Cranidos!" Roark called out, the steam not letting up. Both Pokemon stayed still, though Cranidos was still moving, lightly digging its foot into the ground, ready to charge. Taking a deep breath, Flora focused on her hearing, just like she had been learning when using Aura Sight. Piplup did the same, closing his eyes so he could focus. Both trainer and Pokemon listened until they heard the faint sound coming from Cranidos.
"Piplup, use Bubble!" Flora ordered, Piplup aiming for where he heard the sound. Because Cranidos couldn't see, it couldn't dodge the attack.
"Cranidos!" Roark exclaimed. "No way! Not yet! Not giving up! Use Headbutt in the direction into the bubbles!" Cranidos heard him and charged head first into the bubbles.
"When ready, finish Pound!" Flora ordered, Piplup's flipper glowing as it continued to use Bubble. When it saw that Cranidos was close to him, Piplup stopped and struck Cranidos on the head, both attacks colliding as the steam disappeared. Both Pokemon soon passed each other, stopping a feat from each other. Piplup knelt down, keeping the flipper it used Pound for close to it. Cranidos smirked as it turned around, holding its head up high, before falling onto its back.
"Cranidos!" Roark exclaimed in surprise, his Pokemon having swirls in his eyes.
"Cranidos is unable, the match goes to Piplup!" Ian declared. "Which means the victory goes to Challenger Flora of Twinleaf Town!" Flora looked stunned as her friends cheered for her. Piplup smiled as he ran up to Flora, jumping into her arms as she was brought back to reality.
"We won?" She asked in disbelief before smiling. "We won. We won!" Flora and Piplup laughed as they cheered, finally winning not only their first gym battle, but also their first battle ever. Roark let out a sigh as he went up to his Pokemon, who looked disappointed. Kneeling down, he rubbed Cranidos on the head to comfort it.
"You were awesome Cranidos, get some rest." He told his Pokemon, Cranidos smiling as he was returned. Roark then stood up as he walked up to Flora, who returned her Pokemon. "I have to admit Flora, I'm impressed. You really showed how tough you and your Pokemon are."
"Thanks Roark." Flora said as she looked up at him. "I'm just glad we have it our all."
"And you did." Roark said, pushing his glasses back. "We weren't even holding back and you still managed to beat us." Putting a hand into his pocket, he pulled out a badge that looked like a helmet. "And for that, you earned this. The Coal Badge!" He handed the gym badge to Flora, her smile growing bigger as she held it.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed. She turned to her friends who came down from the stands. "I just got the Coal Badge!" Riley gave Flora a tackle hug, nearly knocking them both over as they laughed. She and the others gave Flora their congratulations, each of them excited for their friend.
After the battle, Flora and the rest of the girls went straight to the Pokemon Center. Roark joined them as he and Flora got their Pokemon healed. Flora also had Ponyta looked over, especially at her leg. Roark had gone back to Oreburgh Mine once his Pokemon had been healed, and suggested Amber should go to the Oreburgh Mining Museum to get her Pokemon fossil restored. Amber decided to do so, once making sure Ponyta's leg was alright. This took about an hour, and Flora was starting to get worried.
"What if Ponyta's leg is broken?" She wondered, very worried about her Pokemon. "She said this wasn't the first time her leg has been injured like this."
"It's possible the leg is just sprained." Aria said as she watched Flora paced.
"But if it is broken, they might have to put her down!" Flora said with fear. "I don't want that to happen!"
"It's not going to happen." Aria said, standing up and stopping Flora from pacing. "Just try to relax and think of something else." She looked at the others, who were currently meditating with Kazza, Riley's Abra. "Like, how do you feel? Now that you've won your first Pokemon battle of course."
"Well..." Flora started, thinking about it. "It's actually more fun than I thought it would be." Aria smiled when she heard that, though frowned when Flora looked down. "Course, it doesn't mean I like battles a lot."
"That's okay." Aria said with a shrug. "Not everyone sees Pokemon battles as a good thing."
"Yeah, but my Pokemon enjoy them." Flora said with a smile. "Maybe that's why I'm enjoying them." She let out a small laugh after she said that. The familiar music played in the room as Flora and Aria turned to the door, Nurse Joy coming out with the Heal Ball. They went up to the counter, Flora reaching it first. "Nurse Joy? How is Ponyta?"
"Ponyta is doing alright, she just bruised her leg." Nurse Joy told her as she gave the Heal Ball to Flora. "However, given that this isn't the first time this has happened, I recommend trying not to put too much pressure on that leg."
"How do I do that?" Flora wondered as she put the Heal Ball away.
"Ponyta seems more reliant on that leg than the others, so perhaps you can get Ponyta to use her other legs until it has healed completely." Nurse Joy suggested. Flora thought about and smiled.
"I'll try it." She told her. "Thank you for checking on Ponyta."
"You're welcome." Nurse Joy said. "We hope to see you again." Flora nodded as she and Aria went over to their friends. They were all staying very still, having not moved since they started.
"They're really doing good." Flora said as Aria used Aura Sight to check, before looking exasperated.
"Yeah, they're really doing good." Aria said as she opened her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. "Really good at sleeping!"
"Eh?" Flora looked at her friends closing and could see that they were actually asleep.
"Good grief." Aria said as she went over to Lisia. "I'd expect this to happen to Riley and maybe Lisia. But Amber and Holly?"
"To be fair, they might be tired from the battle earlier this morning." Flora pointed out before looking at Riley. "Riley on the other hand...has no excuse." At that moment, Riley fell back and woke up. Sitting back up, she let out a yawn as she looked at Flora and Aria. Then she turned confused before groaning.
"I fell asleep again, didn't I?" She asked, Flora and Aria nodding. "Dang it! How long was I out?"
"I say about thirty minutes, given that's when you guys started meditating." Aria said as she started to wake up the others.
"What about Kazza?" Riley asked as she looked at her Pokemon.
"He's the only one actually mediating." Aria said as Lisia, Holly and Amber woke up. Flora and Riley looked at the Abra, who nodded before returning himself to his Poké Ball. Riley let out a nervous chuckle as she and the others stood up.
"I guess we got too relaxed." Holly guessed as Lisia stretched her arms.
"Yeah, I think we need to get moving." Lisia said before heading her stomach growling. She blushed before coughing. "Right after we eat."
"Sounds good to me, then we can go to the museum." Amber said, the others nodding in agreement. "Let's go find a place so the mythical Pokemon can join us."
"Yeah!" They all exclaimed.
"Just three more hours..." 'Marina' said to herself. "Just. Three. More. Hours." She kept telling herself this would all be worth it in the end. They would be able to gather dark energy, which would be one step closer to reviving the Dark Eclipse. Possibly defeat Pretty Cure, since they are a threat to the cause. Then... 'Marina' blinked. What would happen once the Dark Eclipse was revived? Would it align with the plans the boss had? Or would it cause a new obstacle to overcome? "How is it none of us questioned what would happen afterwards?" She asked out loud. Snoring was her answer. Frowning, she saw that 'Skyla' had fallen asleep. Letting out a sigh, 'Marina' stood up and walked out of the room.
Pulling out a phone with a sea green case on it, she pressed a few buttons before placing it to her ear. "Yes?" 'Marina' smiled as she leaned against the wall.
"Elena? It's Marina." She said. "I have a few questions regarding our personal goal." There was silence for a moment.
"Regarding what?" 'Elena' asked.
"What will happen once we revive the Dark Eclipse?" 'Marina' questioned. Another moment of silence.
"The same reason for what the boss wants." Was the answer. 'Marina' looked up at the ceiling as she let out a sigh. "You're not doubting the cause, are you?"
"Of course not." 'Marina' said calmly. "But have you thought their ideals might clash with each other?"
"That's highly unlikely." 'Elena' stated. "We may be the only ones who know about the forgotten legend, but because we are granted the power to do so..."
"We shall discover the truth." 'Marina' finished. "I know! I know. There is a lot to uncover in this legend." She looked around before shifting her position.
"Just like we were told, the Dark Eclipse had been defeated by the Gleaming Aura created by Pretty Cure." 'Elena' recounted. "The dark energy scattered and was only able to activate when Pokemon Dynamax, something that only started 3,000 years ago in the Galar region due to the Darkest Day. So why not send us there instead of being in Sinnoh?"
"Because it's creating chaos?" 'Marina' asked. "Or because this is where the battle took place?"
"Probably both, though I'm leaning towards the latter." 'Elena' guessed. "If anything, we'll be making history."
"For better or worse." 'Marina' said with a smirk, ending the call there and walking back into the restoration room. "Wonder how long we can keep this to ourselves?" She wondered, looking at the machine.
A couple hours after eating lunch, the group made their way towards the Oreburgh Mining Museum. And walking inside, the girls were amazed. "Whoa! Check out all these fossils!" Riley exclaimed. In display cases, there were Pokemon fossils found in the region. "There's so many of them!"
"A lot of coal here too." Amber said as she looked around, seeing a giant lump of coal on display. "They even explain how coal is made."
"There are even evolutionary stones here." Holly added as there was a case filled with all kinds of evolutionary stones.
"This is so cool! Check out this you guys!" Lisia exclaimed as she and the others looked at a scepter with a rainbow color sphere on it. "It's an art piece based on something called the Jewel of Life."
"The Jewel of Life?" Flora asked. Aria tilted her head as she got a good look at it before reading the description.
"It says it's supposed to be a combination of different elements that helped Sinnoh flourish in times of need." She read before frowning. "Does something like this actually exist?"
You bet it does!
The girls jumped slightly when they heard the voice, Aria groaning as she recognized it. "Relax, it's just Hoopa."
Yep! Though that isn't an accurate depiction of the real Jewel of Life.
"What makes you say that?" Flora asked. At that moment, Mew teleported with Hoopa before leaving.
"Because if it were the real thing, the Earth Plate would be reacting." He said as he went over to Lisia. The girl pulled out the Earth Plate from her bag as she looked at it.
"What does it have to do with the Jewel of Life?" She asked. Hoopa frowned before looking away.
"Remember when the others and I mentioned I caused a lot of trouble back in the past?" The girls nodded, remembering the explanation earlier that day. "Well, long after Pretty Cure stopped me the first time, this old man managed to seal my true form in a bottle using the Earth Plate and two other plates."
"Like the genie in the lamp." Riley guessed, smiling as she remembered the tale.
"Well where do you think they got the inspiration from?" Hoopa asked, smirking. Aria rolled her eyes, then looked at the art piece as she frowned.
"If there are more plates out there, where did they come from?" She wondered. Hoopa stayed silent and shrugged, he didn't know. Lisia put away the Earth Plate as Amber looked around. Soon, she saw the desk counter with a few employees behind it. Smiling, she faced her friends.
"I'm going to go see if I can restore the fossil I found." She told the others, who nodded in understanding. After looking one last time at the art piece, they went to look at other things. While it didn't take long for Amber to find out she could restore her fossils she did find out it was going to take a while before it was ready. So she joined up with the others as they looked around the rest of the museum. Unknown to them, 'Marina' and 'Skyla' walked out of the museum and towards an area where no one was around.
"Finally!" 'Skyla' exclaimed as she changed out of her disguise in a yellow flash. "We can Dynamax a fossil Pokemon!"
"Yes!" 'Marina' exclaimed before calmly reposing herself. "Of course, I trust you to handle this one. Given this Pokemon is now in my possession."
"Yeah yeah!" Uranus wasted no time in grabbing the Poké Ball that her ally was holding. "Let's do this already!" With that, she let out the fossil Pokemon they had restored, wrist aglow before aiming the red beam without the Pokemon even knowing what's happening.
"Hey? Who turned down the AC?" Lisia asked as the area around them started to feel cold. Hoopa looked around before Mew teleported next to them.
"Dynamax alert!" Mew exclaimed, quickly leading the girls towards the museum's entrance. However, when they tried to open it, the door wouldn't budge.
"What's the deal?" Hoopa questioned. "The door won't budge!" Aria closed her eyes and activated Aura Sight, the door was glowing white instead of the usual dark blue and grey. Beyond the door, the ground and buildings were also white, and near the museum was the giant red Aura. She then opened her eyes and frowned.
"It's frozen, and the town is starting to turn into ice." Aria told them, everyone turning shock.
"Does that mean the Pokemon is an Ice Type?" Amber asked, trying to figure out what would cause the area to be cold, well, colder than usual.
"I think so, and we're locked in." Aria answered. Hoopa immediately opened one of his rings and enlarged it enough for the girls to walk through.
"Well what are you waiting for?" He asked them, the others nodding to each other as they ran through it, Aria hesitating a bit before going through. Mew then teleported it and Hoopa outside the museum, where the area was indeed becoming frozen. The sky above them was dark red, but it was also hailing. Looking around, they saw the cause, a Dynamax Pokemon that looked like a dinosaur with a long neck, having ice blue skin, a blue jewel on its side, and having yellow sails with pink tips near the head.
"Amaura!" The Dynamax Pokemon cried as it walked around.
"Whoa!" The girls exclaimed as they saw the fossil Pokemon, Amaura. Nearby, Uranus was watching as the fossil Pokemon continued to make its way around the buildings. She had ordered the Dynamax Pokemon to use Max Hailstorm, which caused the area to be frozen. 'Marina' hid nearby, ready to return her new Pokemon if it was defeated. Aria looked up at the Dynamax Pokemon before holding her hand out.
"Girls, let's do this!" She exclaimed, the others nodding. Aria and Flora linked hands as Lisia and Holly brought out their Aura Crystals. With Amber joining them, they all went through the motions as their jewels glowed. Riley stood back with Mew and Hoopa, prepared to shield her eyes.
"Aura Transform! Precure Style!" The five shouted, five pillars of light surrounded them before dying down. The five girls had transformed, each of them doing their pose.
"The jewel of time, Cure Dia!" Dia declared, diamond gleaming.
"The jewel of space, Cure Pearl!" Pearl declared, pearls gleaming.
"The jewel of the land, Cure Ruby!" Ruby declared, rubies gleaming.
"The jewel of the sea, Cure Sapphire!" Sapphire declared, sapphires gleaming.
"The jewel of the skies, Cure Emerald!" Emerald declared, emeralds gleaming.
"All together!" They all exclaimed before posing. "Shining into the hearts of many, Rainbow Aura Pretty Cure!" A bright light shined for a moment before dying down.
"Oh dark soul who's lost its sight!" Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald started as they pointed.
"We guardians shall restore your light!" Dia and Pearl finished together as they pointed. Dynamax Amaura stared down at them, backing up in fear before causing a giant flat rock rise from the ground. It then headbutted the rock, causing it to fall, seemingly hitting Pretty Cure as snow and dust flew in the air. However, the giant stone didn't collapse but was slowly raised into the air. Underneath, Pretty Cure were holding the rock up and slowly trying to move it, gritting their teeth as they did so. With a battle cry, they push the rock back up and hit Dynamax Amaura.
The Precure panted as they got into a fighting stance, Ruby and Emerald shivering a bit. "Okay, just so we're clear, everything will go back to normal once we defeat the Dynamax Pokemon?" Emerald asked.
"Yes, it should be like nothing happened." Pearl answered.
"Okay, so how do we handle this?" Emerald asked next. Before anyone could answer, Dynamax Amaura let out a cry as it created a giant ball of ice and prepared to drop it on them. Cure Pearl thought quickly and got in the center of her friends.
"Pretty Cure Aura Pearl Warp!" She exclaimed, pearls gleaming as the area surrounding her and the others turned pink before vanishing just as the giant ice dropped onto the ground, freezing it. Pretty Cure then appeared not far from the Dynamax Pokemon, then almost slipped on the ice. Cure Pearl looked at her pearls, seeing one of them had dimmed, and then fell onto her back, sliding a bit.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" Ruby shouted as she tried to balance herself before sliding into Sapphire. Dia and Emerald tried to stay balanced as they helped Pearl up.
"Well, that explains why everything is frozen." Sapphire said as she and Ruby helped each other from falling. Dynamax Amaura let out another cry as it looked around. Dia frowned as she saw the look in its eyes.
"That Amaura is scared." She said, the others turning to her. "It's like this is the first time it's seen a human, any kind I mean." The Dynamax Pokemon summoned a giant lighting bolt that struck the middle of the group, sending them flying back as it missed them. Electricity started to spark the ground as Pretty Cure stood up.
"Come on you guys!" Riley shouted. "You got this! No need to worry!"
"That's when we worry the most!" Pearl and Emerald shouted back as they tried to stay balance. Riley blinked before turning sheepish, Mew and Hoopa letting out a chuckle.
"But she has a point, we got this!" Ruby pointed out before slipping on the ice. "What we don't have is solid ground."
"Then we'll have to make our own battlefield." Dia decided as she helped Ruby up. "Ruby, can you use your attack to do that?"
"I think so, but not if that Dynamax Pokemon attacks again." Ruby answered.
"Leave that to us." Emerald told her.
"Right, we'll keep Dynamax Amaura busy until you're ready." Pearl added. "Then Sapphire can use her attack to calm it down long enough for Dia and I to use our attack."
"Sounds like we have a plan." Sapphire said with a smile.
"Right, let's do this!" Dia exclaimed, she, Pearl, Sapphire and Emerald running towards the Dynamax Pokemon. Cure Ruby made sure she got her balance following them. With a battle cry, the four Precure jumped into the air and aimed at Dynamax Amaura. The Dynamax Pokemon turned more frightened as it summoned the giant flat rock, blocking their advances. However, the four Pretty Cure punched the rock, causing it to fall the other way and hit the Dynamax Pokemon. Uranus's eyes widened in surprise as Dynamax Amaura shook off the pain.
Cure Dia, Pearl and Sapphire landed a kick or punch on the Dynamax Pokemon, hitting the neck and chest. Cure Emerald landed on the giant Pokemon's head, keeping balance as Dynamax Amaura tried to shake her off. Emeralds glowing, she jumped back into the skies. "Pretty Cure Aura Emerald Shower!" The green projectiles appeared and struck the Pokemon, causing it to cry out in pain as they exploded. Cure Ruby took this as her chance as her rubies started to glow.
"Pretty Cure Aura Ruby Crater!" She shouted, punching the ground, causing red cracks to appear in the ground as it spread around the Dynamax Pokemon. Dynamax Amaura let out a surprise cry as the ground beneath it collapsed, the ice surrounding the crater also melting. When the others landed, they relaxed as they didn't slip this time.
"My turn!" Sapphire exclaimed as her sapphires started gleaming. "Pretty Cure Aura Sapphire Bubble!" Clasping her hands together, she sent a stream of bubbles towards the Dynamax Pokemon. The bubbles joined together until there was one giant bubble, trapping the Dynamax Pokemon as it started to calm down.
"Our turn." Dia said as Pearl nodded. The two linked hands as they prepared their attack.
"Jewels of time and space." Pearl started, both pearls glowing together.
"Transcend together into the gleaming light." Dia finished, her diamond glowing.
"Pretty Cure Aura Jewel Pulse!" They shouted, sending the twin beams of light towards the Dynamax Pokemon, popping the bubble as it was healed and returned to normal. Once it did so, the hailling stop and the whole area returned to normal. The girls let out a breath of relief, until they looked around and saw that Amaura was gone. Pretty Cure changed back as Riley, Mew and Hoopa went up to them.
"Where did Amaura go?" Flora asked. The others shrugged, they didn't know where the fossil Pokemon went. Unknown to the group, 'Marina' had returned her new Pokemon and then vanished at the same time Uranus did. They would have to help the new Pokemon adjust to the new world. Hoping that Amaura was now alright, the group headed back to the museum, where they soon will meet Amber's new Pokemon.
And done! Phew, finally go the whip cream off my face, and it was good.
Hoopa: You ate it?
Me: Well, some of it. Where did you get the whip cream anyway?
Hoopa: *shrug* Don't remember, but boy was that a good prank. Hehe!
Me: I'll admit, that was better than the sea water. *Looking at the readers* Thank you all for reading, review if you can.
Hoopa: Because they are fun to read.
Me: And we'll see you all next time!
Hoopa: See ya!
