Jag, Jolt and Bluemist found a taxi, it was a strange, egg shapped, yellow car wich flew past the buildings at an amazing speed. Jolt had never experienced a flight unless on top of a pokemon, and the feeling that acumulated in his stomach was new to him. He felt his stomach twist and spin with the speed, a pressure in his throat had stolen the ability to speak. The buildings and other cars passed by like an undefined blurr of bricks, metal and glass. The electric dog covered his mouth as his stomach tried to push the icecream he had just eaten up his throat. Jag placed an arm arround him and kissed his forehead gently, her hand played with his golden hair as she tried to make him feel better. Jolt cuddled up next to her and closed his eyes inhaling her scent deeply. The dashing sound of cars flying past thundered in his ears hurting his delicate eardrums. The poor dog was deffinitely not enjoying this quick flight in a modern city, but the feeling of his body so close to the trainer's made him feel a lot better. He felt her warm body next to his, her delicate hand placed over his head, her think fingers caressing the messy spiked up hair gently, lovingly. He felt a warm sensation forming inside his stomach, a hungry feeling impulsing him to kiss her, but the daze was still present as the car flew past, and his position was so comfortable he refused to move an inch.
Finally the flying taxi stoppedin front of an enormous, circular building. It had situated itself in a small, half moon shapped terrace. Jag pushed Jolt's shoulder gently, awaking him from his rest and forcing him to stand up. Jolt oppened his deep brown eyes and stared into the trainer's icy blue ones, he felt the electricity conecting them, the love that both of them shared, and smiled gently. Jag stood up forcing the dog to stand up, and giggled gently as the sudden movement created by her and the force known as gravity made his collapse on the taxi's seat. Bluemist leapt out of the car gracefully and walked torwards the edge of the platform. She looked down and her instinct pushed her back imemdiatly. They were situated more than two hundred metres above the ground and the people walking below and the small cars flying past looked nothing but tiny bugs crawling arround. She was fascinated but a strange feeling she had never experienced before had taken control of her body. She felt her legs becoming weak and thin, as if the bones were dissipating and the flesh was nothing but butter. A lump in her throat was formed avoiding her ability to speak, bark or whine. She deduced this was nothing but vertigo cause by the extreme height in wich she was located. The crancky voice belonging to the taxi driver started her train of thoughts and caused her crious aproach back to the group. She listenend to his words as attentively as Jag who was the one interested, "well, this is it, Real City's Gym, hope you have a pleasant battle" he told them, coughing several times and snorting a laugh as soon as his sentenced was finished. The yellow metal that formed the taxi soon disappeared in a rainbow of colours and flew under their feet, dashing past and becoming a faint blurr of colours spreaidng across the invisible roads of the city.
Jag turned arround and saw a large wooden door standing proudly in front of them. Carved in the apparently antique wooden doors were pair of dragons, like Oceanos, the god of the seas, just placed in a side position. What was unusual about this was that the position of both carvings was simetrical, but the shape wasnt. One of the creatures had wide eyes wich stared into the other's eyes gently, sweetly. Just by observing them one could see the love they shared, the love that had united them. The other creatures eyes were more narrow, fierce but so full of love one could nearly feel the warmth of this pure feeling growing withing themselves. Surrounding the dragon's carvings were numerous chinese letres placed neatly in the small gaps left by the creature's body. Jag aproached the carvings cautiously and stared at them in fascination, a feeling of trust filling her body, a proud smile drawn in her lips as her hand caressed the Summoner's Stone gently and unconciously. Small blueish glitters scaped the crystal as her warm fingers caressed the smooth and finely polished surface. So deeply into the though of being able to control Oceanos was Jag that she didnt hear the faint footsteps of a noble creature that aproached her. A voice startled her train of thoughts and her hand collapsed next to her causing the small glass to swing back and forth on her neck. The Summoner looked to her left curious to discover who was the gentle voice that had startle her, "i understand this" Jolt's voice exclaimed proudly as he read the chinese hieroglyphs. His deep, dark brown eyes and handsome face looked up to stare into the girl's eyes, "i know what it says, its a legend" he spoke gently, and even Bluemist could feel the sweetness of his voice flow within her.
Jolt looked back at the doors with the carvings, "it speaks about Oceanos and Silver, they were a couple, Lord and Mistress of the oceans. They were happy together...tadatada...and then...tadatada, yes, Silver was killed and Oceanos badly wonded then a human aproached him and cured him. In gratitude for his kindness Oceanos gave him a piece of crystal and a small piece of land, that was how the first Summoner came into existence" the dog's voice related the story clearly and loud. Jag stared at the man she loved in surprise, sure this was all a legend but she had never known or even bothered in asking herself about the way her kind related their origins.
Bluemist stared at her trainer solemly, "it's time" she spoke, her voice was nearly a whisper but Jolt's acute sense of hearing caught a trace of nerves floating in it. he stared at the female pokemon, his face crossed with seriousness as he examined the dog's trembling body. Jag nodded and stared at the door deffiantly, as if the two gods would come out of their carvings and battle them. She clenched her fists and gave the door a penetrating gaze, as if she could see through the thick, wooden surface. She was nervous, true, but determined and too secure of herself, ready to challenge the leader and battle to her hardest. She nocked on the door and the silent that wrapped them let them listen to the faint echo inside. A painful shriek and the faint trembling of the metallic platform gave them a sing that the door was oppening. A cloud of gentle, pale fog escaped the door as both hands oppened revealing a dark corridor and stairs, stairs that disappeared in the mist of darkness. This stairs were built out of stone, and so were the walls forming the tunnel, stones, large, heavy stones like in ancient castles. The party paced downsairs, a silent wave engulfed them as heir stomachs twisted and curled with the unpleasant feeling af anguishing nerves. Bluemist had her gaze focused on the erosed and polished stones, her mind lost in a realm of thoughts unknown to others. She could feel her fur spiked up, much like Jolt's fur, her nerves dashed across her body, up and down, in a zigzagging motion but sending shrills down her spine. A strange pressure never felt before was placed arround her heart, wich suffocated and pumped harder to keep it's fluid of life running through her body. Jolt directer her a sympatheic smile wich was pleasantly accepted by the blue dog, "it's all right Bluemist, nobody has told you yet you'll be the one batteling" his maleish voice spoke, warm a calid, comforting the water element who returned a gentle smile. Jag looked at the two eons feeling a wave of jeallowsy burn withing her, her mind debating between the feeling, either it was anger or fear. She focused her gaze into the dark corridor wich seemed to oppen before her at each step she paced, "calm down, it is normal, they are both eons, its normal for them to be good friends" the Summoner convinced herself mentally.
A wave of bright, blueish light engulfed them as darknes parted away revealing a new world after a long, anguishing experience of fear. Before them was situated an enormous pool, and three stones with a flattened peak stuck out of them like enormous stepping stones. The watter was calm, and it seemed like frozen in time as it's liquid surface didnt move an inch, like waiting for the newcomers to make a move. The walls rippled like the sandy floor of an Atlantic Beach, difracting the sun rays as they entered the glass like surface of the water transforming light into undefined patters of dancing shapes. Two platforms were located at each end of the pool, the two were painted in a pale blueish colour but this gave Jag the impression that this was the place they were looking for. Behind one of the platforms was a door shapped like an oval, it was open but the inside lacked in light as darkness seemed to characterize the corridors of the peculiar place. Under that platform could be seen the thin and nearly invisible markings, shaping a square wich proved the existence of an oppening. Jag took a step front and stared in deep fascination at the place as she was reminded of her gym in Maikan Island, located in the Orange Islands Archipielago. She stared arround without realizing the pressence of a nervous vapoeron and a fascinated jolteon, "hello?" her voice escaped her mouth in an instinctive reaction to the silence and loneliness of the place. From the darkness of the platform's door appeared a young man who seemed to be no older than twenty.
He was tall and had a rather slender but musculous figure wich could be observed easily through the open shirt. The shirt was white and the sleeves were rolled up to look like a T-shirt and support heat better. Strong legs were hidden under a pair of wide, baggy shorts of a deep oceanic blue colour and numerous pockets, much like Jolt's. His feet were covered by a pair of nike sport shoes, white with the shoelaces placed loosely in the zigzagging motion through each gap, and untide on the end, letting them fall gently through the sides. The man's face was handsome, his skin was white but slightly tan, like a sweedish that has gone to the beach for the summer holydays. His eyes were normal sized, slightly chinese like, but of a penetrating icy blue colour. His gaze was observant, proud and determined, his eyes didnt stare at a person, they looked through it, staring at their soul, revealing the most intimate secrets. His nose was slightly pointed wich gave him a sweeter appereance, like a young child trying to look tough. His lips curved in a determined smile. Those were beautiful lips, fleshy but small, sweet and gentle, hiding a set of pearly white teeth perfectly lined up. His hair was of a light blond colour, it glittered a slight silverish with the continuous motion of the rippling walls. His hair was wild, the blond strands moved gently with a faint breeze blowing inside the sealed room, each hair pointing in one direction but still giving him that gentle, innocent, childlish look. Jag squinted her eyes to take a better look at something situated behind him, something long wich slythered floating a few inches above the floor, like a strange snake swimming in a pond. The Summoner gasped loudly at the realization of what the slythering snake was, it was a tail. The tail was long and thin, much like a cat's tail, and it was covered in a silky, creamy brown fur wich spiked up a bit in the concave curves. The tail swimged back and forth perhaps unconciously, like when humans move their arms as they walk, or in frustration, without thinking their actions.
The man smiled gently but proudly, "hello, newcomers, my name is Christian, Christian Swiftpaws and i am Real City's gym leader, wich of you two is the brave that will try defeat me?" he said. His voice was proud, but not as deep as most men's voice, it was fainter, more gnetle and sweet, flowing with the wind at each word. The trainer took a step forward, her fist clenched and her eyes piercing the man's eyes in an attempt to send him the feeling of submission. She stopped an looked up at the handsome man, "my name is Jaguar Moonfroze and i challenge you to a pokemon battle" she nearly yelled at Christian who placed both hand in front of him and smiled ironicly. The leader shook his head slowly, "easy Moonfroze, calm down, we are here to battle with pokemon not hands" he told her, his voice was far from ironic, it was more gentle and calming. Jag placed both fists front in a punching action, "dont call me Moonfroze, call me Jag" she hissed at him through gritted teeth. Christian shook his head with a smile drawn in his lips, his tail swished back and forth gently describing an infinite symbol in its motion. He smiled down at the girl and nodded, "calm down Jag, you must think clear to defeat me, me or any other trainer" he told her. Jag relaxed her muscles and looked at him, his advice was so wise and true, she didint know what made her so nervous but his advice had deffinitely made her feel better. She climbed onto the platform and stood at the edge, holding onto the transparent bars located in it to prevent falling off. Christian smiled proudly, the blueish light glowing on his face making him look so misterious and magical, "this will be a one on one, the pokemon standing the longest wins" he yelled loudly so the girl could hear his instructions. Jag nodded clearly and waited for the pokemon to appear into the battlefield.
The water trembled and shook wildly as Jag felt something moving somewhere, something large and heavy. The trainer was able to catch a fint glimpse of an oppening door under the platform, the water was wild now and the vision was scarce. A large creature entered the lage pool swimming, it's fins were large like wings, and a long neck straightened forward. The eyes of the animal started glowing, they were narrow and of a glowing blue colour, like a psychic's pokemon eyes when they were charged with energy. The water exploded in millions of drops as the enormous shape of the animal decide to arise and show himself to the humans. The animal was an enormous dragon, completely covered in silvery white feathers. The neck was long and held an oval shapped head, the eyes were large and blue, narrow like seen underwater but much more gentle. Two large black feathers elongated over the eyes giving him a ferocious appereance. A crest decorated the back of his head and two large fangs were placed inside his mouth to give him a powerful look. His fins were large wings, thick like fins but wide like wings, completely covered in silvery white feathers. His stomach was covered in dark blue feathers wich broke the monotony and purity of the silvercoat of feathers. His tail swished back and forth, it was long and thin but the tip was decorated with two spiked cumules of dark blue feathers.
The appereance of the creature cause the surprise between the members of the party, "Oceanos" the three of them whispered in unision, their words dancing with each other in a floating dance of fascination, fear and respect. Christian moved a hand forward putting it open in front of them, as if offering something to the group, "meet Lugia, my noble warrior" his proud voice spoke floating in the group's mind as they denied the posibility of this creature being the real Oceanos. The cat boy waved a hand to catch their atention, "i know Lugia is impressive but i want to finish this battle today" the boy's voice told Jag gently but with a mocking tone. The Summoner reacted immediatly to the man's voice, she moved forward and stared at him, determined to defeat even the most powerful of gods. Before she could chose wich pokemon was the right one to defeat Lugia, a voice startled her, "let me at him, Jag, he is a flying, he cant do a thing against electric pokemon" Jolt's voice spoke with a courage and a knowledge in his voice it surprised the trainer. Jag stared at him and saw a few spark shooting out of his body and she knew he would shapeshift into his jolteon form in any minute, revealing his secret to this tailed stranger. Reacting immediatly the trainer wrapped her arms arround her pokemon and lover fulminating his shapeshifting desires with the lust of a loving kiss. She could feel the electricity located inside the pokemon's body, hidden deep inside him, but set free for a few seconds. It was a new experience, exciting and fascinating but the reason this ocurred was to prevent the boy to transform in front of a stranger. Christian stared at the couple with a hand placed on his hip, the long tail danced back and forth behind him in confusion, "well, the kiss might give you luck but...i highly recomend we start before all of us grow dust" his voice echoed in the silent walls of the gym. Jag parted away and stared into Jolt's deep brown eyes lovingly, "honey, i trust you but, let me chose my weapon, ok?" she whispered silently hinting her love torwards the boy but also a severe voice mixed with it.
The Summoner turned to focus onto the flying pokemon and suddenly the words spoken by the electric dog made sense, "flying, weakness to electric...water..." jag told herself mentally as her eyes scanned the field in search of posibilities. Almost immediatly an idea snapped into her head, "i need a water pokemon with super efective attacks against flying" she told herself silently, without realizing the excaped of her voice. Jolt looked down at her,"havent you got Jewel or Lapras here with you?" his voice asked gently, a bit disappointed about being of no use. Jag shook her head looking down in frustration and slightly disappointed. and her eyes caught something interesting. Next to her was Bluemist, the water dog, she examined her closely trying to remember all she had been taught about vaporeons at school, "quick, agile and have both, water and ice attacks...ice attacks? They are super effective to flying, i got it" Jag thought to herself but the last sented made her yell and jump up punching the air. Christian scratched his head in confusion, "hum, im not sure you know how this goes but people usually do that when they have defeated the gym leader not before batteling" he told the woman narrowing an eyebrow and raising the other. Jag shook a hand smiling, she looked down at Bluemist who had been startled and her fur was now spiked up, "Bluemist, i count on you" she told the vaporeon causing her to shake wildly. Bluemist's biggest fear was becoming true, she was being chosen to the battle, she was frightened and paralized since her battle skills werent developed completely and she feared deceiving her trainer. Jag sensed her fear and touched the silky fur of her head gently, "calm down Bluemist, you'll do great, i promise, and if you dont defeat him, dont worry, feel proud that you have tried at least" the Summoner's voice told her gently, making her feel a sudden and pleasant calm and filling her with courage.
Jag stood up quickly and looked at the dragon with determination, "i chose Bluemist the vaporeon" the trainer's voice thundered with courage echoing in the nervous walls of the gym. Bluemist leapt forward with the grace of a cat, and landed into one of the greyish stone platforms situated like domes in a deep ocean. Bluemist howled loudly, her acute, sirenian voice echoing into the delicate ears of the tailed boy. Christian placed both hands arround his ears as he gasped painfully, feeling the acute howl piercing his eardums. Bluemist stared at the noble white dragon with determination, the ripling motion of the waves focused on his silvery white coat of feathers wich glowed a faint blueish in some areas. Christian shook his head and glared at the blue cat, he pointed at her with rage, "Lugia, aeroblast, NOW" his voice yelled enraged at the flying dragon. The animal roared, but this roaring was a strange song mixed with a very sharp and acute shriek. The dragon raised his heavy body up with a vigorous flapping of his wings, wich splashed in the pool raising large drops of water into the air. He pulled his head back a bit oppening his mouth as large as possible, revealing his set of sharp fangs located hidden inside his beak. A ball of energy seemed to form inside his mouth, it glowed brightly as it absorved energy located in specialized sacs inside the dragon's mouth. Jag observed in fear as the dragon created his attack, "Bluemist, at the count of three, you jump into the water" Jag told her friend, her voice trembled with fear but she had to be secure of herself. Bluemist nodded without retiring the eyes from the magnificent animal, her gaze focused on the brilliant ball of acumulating energy. Jag counted silently in magical unision with the water pokemon, "one...two..." she said whispering it so it couldnt be heard by the leader of the gym. The Lugia stared at the vaporeon with prideful eyes, his plunged his head forward impulsing the energy into a five armed beam that traveled torwards the vaporeon at amazing speed. Jag was terrified, she didnt expect for the attack to act like a cage and unless actions were taken quickly, Bluemist was lost to her doom, "THREE" Jag yelled hysterically at the water pokemon. With the agility of a cat, Bluemist leapt into the water and shook her musculous tail to swim away from the danger of the blast. The purely bright white beam traveled torwards the now deserted stone raising water on its way by its inmense power. It reached the stone and exploded in a explosion similar to a nuclear attack, forming a semi capsule of an unpenetrant white energy arround the stone, before fading to reveal a completely destroyed stone. Bluemist swam gracefully to the deepest area of the pool, her dark blue eyes gazing upwards in search of the danger since she knew that this dragon could swim. Christian smiled, his tail wagged back and forth pleasantly, "ha, i got you this time, vaporeon" he told himself but his ords were caught by the jolteon's acute hearing sense. He stared at the man nervously, then at his vaporeon friend with a feeling of fear and wishing he could comunicate with her somehow. Christian looked up at the flying dragon, "Lugia, your turn, thunder the water" Christian's voice commanded the flying creature. Jolt was horror struck, he knew about the water pokemon's weakness torwards electric attacks. His own thunderbolt nocked out Bluemist when she was dry, this creature's thunder with her underwater was sure to kill her. Bluemist got the sense of something being wrong outside, she hadnt heard the tailed leader's command but somehow felt the need to leap out of the water immediatly. Her finned tail moved vigorously impulsing her upwards, she arched her body to direct it torwards the surface as she tried to swim as fast as possible. The lugia concentrated all his energy and soon his body started glowing a bright yellowish colours. Several sparks escaped the pokemon's body as he reached the point of Maximum Energy. The pokemon raised his head to the skies and yelled loudly as his body exploded in a game of electric rays wich dance over the surface of the water like skater over an ice field. The three combatants had to turn arround since the light emmited by the Lugia's body during his preformance of a thunder attack was too blinding to be supported by any creatures eyes. When the sharp, buzzing sound of the thunder attack vanished, the three humanoids oppened their eyes to visualize the consequences of the attack. Christian's eyes oppened wide in surprise at the image pressneted in front of him, "i...impossible...it cant be" his stuttering voice squeaked amazed. Jag stared at the battlefield and a wide smile acompained by a hyterical scream took power of her usually mature and polite personality. Jolt, who had chosen not to look at the battlefield, turned arround and a large grin appeared in his lips, "WAY TO GO, BLUEMIST!" he yelled at her feeling an incredible happiness fill him like warm water filling a bathtub. His voice was acute and loud, it escaped his vocal chords located in his throat as he cheered for the vaporeon like if she was his favourite soccer team. Bluemist was there, standing on one of the steping stones, her fur soaked and her head hanging down, breathing heavily in exhaustion, but she was fine, untouched by the attack. Jag clenched her fists swiftly and narrowed her eyebrows, "Bluemist, blizzard, NOW!" she commanded the vaporeon determined. Bluemist obeyed instantly and, due to her speed and the shock her standing had provoked into the tailed leader, she was able to reach her goal. Her mouth oppened as wide as could be and a special organ in her body, much like the fire pokemon's igniting gland. A blueish ball of frozen water formed in her mouth, it spiraled and swirled inside it as it grew in size, freezing the pokemon's tounge. Bluemist blew strongly dispersing the beam into tiny frozen needles of ice with speeded torwards the white dragon. Lugia moaned loudly and painfully as the thousen frozen needles managed to penetrate his thick coat of feathers and into his flesh, freezing him instead of melting. The silvery white dragon lost his flight balance and collapsed into the water, liftinga great amount of water that soaked everyone located in the room, and flooded the blueish, shiny tiles located on the floor. Bluemist shook her head and stared at the dragon, wich was now laying in the depths of the pool, several bubbles floated upwards and exploded as they reached the purity of air. Christian was surprised and frightened, his body shook wildly as he feared for his pokemon and his tail whipped the air from side to side in a sing of his nervous state. Jag didnt have mercy with the god pokemon, she just walked forward and pointed at the frozen creature, "now Bluemist, ice beam to the water, freeze it" she comanded roughtly, like a military sergeant. Bluemist nodded with a proud, siren like bark, and oppened her mouth to release a blueish beam of zigzagging light, wich was nothing but frozen water.
Christian stared in fear how his pool and battlefield became an ice fiel, the blurr image of his white pokemon drowning in the botto of the pool. He was in loss for words, he didnt expect for a vaporeon to be so hard to defeat and was deffinitely not expecting this cruel reaction from the trainer. However, he was wrong, Jag was observing the frozen battlefield with a heavy feeling in his heart, as if the sky had fallen over her. She was a tough trainer, and a fiery tempered person but her heart was large and warm like Fira. A deep sight escaped her mouth, "Bluemist, stop" she commande the dog to stop her continuous attempt to freeze the water. Christian looked up, his tail wagged gently in a sing of gratefulness, he smiled gently at the trainer making her colours rise, "thank you Jag, you are such a wise trainer" he told her and would have kissed her hands if it hadnt been for the pool separating them. Lugia was defeated, his whole body was frozen and aching with the thousand needles that had penetrated his flesh, his pride was destroyed by a small vaporeon. He, the most powerful pokemon of all, defeated by an untrained water dog, things just didnt work that way. His eyes oppened all of a sudden, they were glowing a bright blue colour. Suddenly he felt full of energy, a warm feeling rushed through his body and veins, heating him up and melting the ice needles still stuck into his flesh. He moved his fin like wings swiftly, pushing his whole body up at an tremendous speed. His weight managed to break through the thin coat of ice that covered the pool. The shattered ice flew in all directions, some of the sharp edged peaks managed to cut Bluemist's flesh, who gasped silently as she felt small streams of crimson blood frickled down her legs. Christian was amazed, undoubtably happy but too stunned to respond to the sudden arise of the dragon pokemon. The obedient Lugia didnt wait for his master to command him an attack, he oppened his mouth and quickly fired the five beams of light, taking Bluemist and her trainer by surprise. Bluemist stared arround herself and five beams of light penetrated the water forming a cage arround herself. She was nervous, true but the beam didnt seem to harm her in any possible way since the bars were too far way from each other. The blue pokemon emmited an acute shriek, like a dolphin's yell, as she saw the bars quickly aproaching her, she was doomed for nothing she did now could save her from the attack. She closed her eyes waiting for her doom, a feeling of fear crossed her heart, pressing it harder each time, she wasnt frozen, just defeated. The beams reached her and melted into one, hitting the vaporeon hard and exploding once more into the nuclear similarity it had done before. When the brightness of the attack had faded, everyone looked to see what had become of the vaporeon. The stone was completely destroyed like the previous one, and Bluemist was sinking slowly, fainted perhaps, or even worse. Jolt felt a lump form in his throat as he observed the pokemon's limp body sink slowly. He looked down feeling as defeated as Bluemist was feeling a while ago, wishing he had been out there in the battlefield instead of the friend that had helped him so much. Jag didnt give up, she was not only her pokemon, she was her friend, someone who had helped her more than any human did. Now it wasnt the badge on risk, it was her life and pride, "Bluemist!!! Come on, wake up girl, wake up, you can do it, Bluemist" her voice yelled at the pokemon, her body feeling a strange energy flow through it. Christian stared at the Summoner in awe, "she doesnt give up, i've never seen anyone like her, so determined" he told himself feeling a sudden fascination and respect torwards the girl. Bluemist heard the faint echo of Jag's words making an effort to penetrate the water, her eyes slowly oppened to see the blurred vision of the pool's depths. She felt a tear tickle her cheek and mix with the water adding a faint touch of salt to it, "sorry Jag, i failed you" she thought to herself.
She was about to close her eyes when a blueish glow was caught by her blurred vision. She looked up in time to see an spiritual dog standing above the tiled floor of the pool's depths. It was Voda, mistress of rivers and lakes and godess worshipped by all water pokemon, specially vaporeons. The Godess' voice echoed into Bluemist's head and mind, "Bluemist, you havent failed yet, you will have failed once you give up, not before, believe in yourself and you shall win" her voice was misterious and gastly, but so gentle and wise Bluemist had to believe in her words. The vaporeon nodded, somehow she felt it was unpolite to answer back to a godess, but she still felt the need to assure her she had understood her words. She shut her eyes tightly concentrating in gaining the necesary strenght to swim back to the surface and fight. She oppened them once more and Voda had disappeared, but somehow her body was starting to fill with an amazing amount of energy. To the other's surprise, the vaporeon had started glowing with a bright white light, similar to the light that engulfed Jolt when he shapeshifted. The ball of light quickly shaped into the dog's shape, giving her a godly appereance, making her look like a moving statue formed of diamond. The creature impulsed herself upwards at an amazing speed, the water surrounding her split quickly, leaving a trail for the creature to fly past. Bluemist leapt gracefully onto the remaining stone and stared at the white dragon who was shocked and fascinated at the same time by the vaporeon's new appereance. Bluemist concentrated all her power in a spot right in front of her once dark and humid nose. Soon after a small ball of blueish energy had started forming in front of it, rolling, twisting and spiraling to remain as round as a perfect sphere. Christian seemed troubled about the vaporeon's reaction, fascinated, true, but troubled, as if he knew what was coming, and deffinitely nothing pleasant. Bluemist concentrated all her power forward, torwards the Lugia, she ball of energy rolled nervously as it felt the kinetic energy impulsing it forward. The ball plummeted itself forward growing in size as it aproached and shaping into a five armed star. A few second before it hit Lugia, the star had become a pentagram, a magical symbol of power and protection. Christian placed both hands in his ruffled wild hair as he screamed, "oh no, its a Sacred Pentagram" his voice echoed in the fiel, terrified and nervous. The attack reached Lugia and wrapped him, the animal screamed in terror and pain as the magic drained all his energy making him faint. The attack engulfing the lugia exploded like a blueish white firework and each strand of energy disappeared into the space, vanishing. Bluemist herself observed how the glow faded from her body, returning her silky blue fur to her dark self. The dog pokemon collapsed on the stone breathing heavily, her legs too weak to sostain her body, and her mind too busy analizing the previous events.
Once the glow had faded from the lugia it revealed a very small, pinkish creature, like a tiny jelly, floating over the surface of the water. Jag was shocked at everything that had recently happened, "oh, Christian im sorry...i swear i didnt know this would happen" she excused herself, her voice was a faint, femaleish, comforting voice. Christian smiled and shook his head, "it's all right Jag, he is a ditto, his name is Shifter" Christian explained kindly returning the ditto into a pokeball. Jag tilted her head in confussion, "but...if it was a ditto...i mean...im confused" she said scratching the back of her head in a confused and thoughtful way. The taled leader of Real City's Gym laughed, "this is Real City, the name is ironic because nothing is what it looks like" Christian's gentle voice explained as his tail moved back and forth slowly. The leader leapt off the platform gracefully and walked torwards Jag quickly, he handed her a small badge with the shape of an eye and a small eagle flying inside the eye. Jag was fascinated to see that the eagle flapped it's wings as it flew, "this is a Virtual Badge, congratulations" his maleish but sweet voice spoke. Jag nodded thankfully and shook his hand, "it was a tough battle, it was mere luck that i won" the trainer said determined and without controling the hint of pride in her voice. Jag then focused her atention on the slythering tail behind the boy, "eerr...just a question, what exactly are you?" she asked him shyly, feeling her cheecks burn with a reddish blush. Christian looked behind himself and laughed wagging his tail even more, "oh, im just a Despe, nothing to worry about, i wont infect you with lycanthropy" he laughed moving his tail more vigorously. Jag nodded despising the remark about werewolves, one of her friends was a weewolf and he was as noble and gentle as any other creature in this world, the black tale about werewolves was just that, a legend. Christian noticed her rage, he had something of animal in himself and could sense people's emotions, "oh, sorry, didnt mean to offend you" he said, his tail fell limply behind him in shame. He paced torwards a window in the far end, "i miss the streets, i miss pokemon journeys and freedom, im a Despe not a hamster, i need to be free" Christian said with nostalgy. Jag placed a hand on Christian's shoulder causing an enraged glare from Jolt, "you can come with us if you wish" Jag offered kindly, a gentle smile drawn in her lips and her mind hoping he would accept. Christian shook his head, "no, sorry, i need to take care of the gym" Christian sobbed depresively. Jag smiled knowingly, he had reached a familiar area for her, "Chris, im a gym leader too, the Maikan Gym Leader, and while im away in a pokemon journey my cousin takes care of my gym and pokemon, you can do that too" she explained him kindly. Christian turned arround abruply, accidentally whipping Jag's leg with his tail, "you are the legendary Maikan Gym Leader? No wonder you defeated me at a pokemon battle using a water pokemon, i've heard you are nearly undefeatable" his voice was excited and his face glew with a new light, like a child when he met his idol. Jag blushed deeply and smiled at him, "erm...wel, rumours...erm...what do you say?" she snapped all of a sudden, feeling flattered but attempting to change topic. Christian looked down once more, "i...i'll think about it, Jag, i'll try to reach you if i decide i want, ok?" he said, his voice was sad and slightly frustrated, oviously his life in the gym wasnt all he wanted. Jag nodded and turned arround leaving the cat boy alone with his thoughts, hoping he decided to join them in their journey, he needed a change, and she wanted to help him.
