Hmm time for the first real battle!
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The pair strolled out of the pokemon center with a set of energetic Eevees and a will to win against the ditto trainer.
The gym was in the shape of a stadium with doors carved to look like a set of masks from a theatre, one with a smile and one with a frown. They pushed the door open and walked into a room full of pokemon statues and a large picture of two dittos.
A ring sounded through the building signaling the arrival of the two trainers to the leader. Soon as they stood in the lobby a voice rang over the Pa system.
"Trainers! This is the gym leader Tuplica. TO even get the chance to battle me you have to pass a quick test. A riddle actually."
"Fine." Isaac said as he got his mind working again.
"Shoot." Noel added.
"What is before time but after universe. It follows an eevee but never a rock. A stone will have it but a mineral will not. What am I?"
The riddle perplexed the two until Isaac pulled out a pad of paper from his pocket and wrote it down.
"Well."
"It's E."
"Isaac wait don't answer yet!"
"Your right. Announce yourselves then enter the gym."
"Isaac from Coral Rock."
"Noel ketchum from Pallet."
"Ketchum? From pallet?" Tuplica said over the Pa sounding intrigued, "Are you related to Ash and Misty?"
"Yep." She said, "I'm their daughter."
"Well if your as good as your dad. Then this badge is as good as yours!" She said walking up to the opened door holding a small ceramic badge in the shape of a mask. "This will be a two on two team match. Each trainer is allowed one pokemon two the gym leaders two. When both have fainted the winner is declared."
"Fine by me." Noel said
"Same here so lets get going." He said as he walked out to the trainers box with Noel.
Tuplica walked to the opposing box and threw two pokeballs, "Go ditto go mini-dit!" From the balls flew two dittos one slightly smaller then the other.
The pair nodded as they threw their balls. "Go Azure! Go Dratini!"
A tiny blue pokemon and a small dragon came out and starred at the foes until Azure broke out and laughed at the dittos strange looks.
"Ditto, mini-dit use transform!" the larger ditto became azure while the smaller morphed into a very tiny Dratini.
"Azure use ice beam on the ditto that's like Dratini!" Isaac commanded as his pokemon balanced on its tail and had it shot out beams of freezing cold water and air. And as their plan had it, it worked and fainted mini-dit. Leaving the ditto two against one.
"Amazing." Tuplica muttered as she recalled the mini-dit. "Your quite good but can you stop this? Ditto use water gun!"
Ditto just kinda looked at the two and shot at this counterpart. Azure just bounced away on its tail as a high pressured water stream followed behind it.
"Dratini! Use thunder!"
The small dragon responded without fail as he brought down the finishing blows on the distracted morph pokemon. It fell fainted as the other. An easy victory for strategy between friends.
"Well nice job you two." She said after their pokemon had bowled them over with affection, "You must be pretty good trainers to do that so fast."
"nope." Noel laughed, "Just a pair of newbies."
"I guess I'm not that good." Tuplica sighed. "I just opened after my place was robbed by some guys in black and red stole my collection of rare stones. I wasn't able to stop them either."
"rare stones?" Isaac asked fingering the ever stone that was sitting in his still semi red pocket.
"yeah." She responded, "I've been studding them for years and had discovered that all the stone gain their power form a higher source but."
"But what?" Noel asked.
"But there's a stone called an ever stone that has a negating effect on elemental powers. But energy cant be created or destroyed, so I figure the everstones have to do something to that power."
"I have one." Isaac said pulling out the fist sized stone. "Is there anything dangerous about it?"
"Not unless the legends are true." She muttered taking the stone and seeing the strange light start to emit from it. "This isn't a normal ever stone."
"Define normal." Isaac asked, wondering.
"Well normal ever stones only gown when evolution is starting but this is always shinning. Also you eevee, spectrum was it? His fur is changing correct?"
"How'd you know that?" Isaac asked looking over at his eevee sleeping in a pile of towels. He had noticed the fur color changes but how the heck did she know his name?
"I know a lot of things." She said slyly, sitting back. "But the legend goes that is an ever stone ever allows a pokemon to evolve it will mean that the stone is adding power to an ancient evil pokemon that almost destroyed the world. His energy stone was through to have been destroyed by the very first Water pokemon trainer alpha but it was never said how. It got its energy from the powers of a pokemon's evolution. That same pokemon was said to have created all the stones of evolution and also the legendary pokemon."
"Wow that's a lot of power."
"Your not kidding Noel. It was stopped by powers that no longer exist in this world. So if it comes again it will truly be the end of all humanity."
"So any other info on this thing?" Isaac said pointing to the stone, and watched as Teal walked over to Spectrum and went to sleep next to him.
"Not really but I can predict your Eevees evolutions."
"Really?" Noel asked, "How can you tell?"
"You mean you don't know eevee lore?" She asked.
"I know some but only on its evolutions by stones."
"Isaac your kinda dense you know that?" Tuplica asked whispering to Noel a few words and pointing to the pair of sleeping Eevees. He watched as she gasped then laughed at Isaac then left the room to use the bathroom.
"Well Isaac Your Eevees going to become an umbreon. See how its furs darkening and some gold hairs are appearing on its hind legs and ears?" He nodded, "But its odd it should evolve all at once not slowly. It must be an effect of the stone."
"Interesting." He said looking over at his friend that had grown so much, "But tell me, how do you know what teal will evolve into?"
He was rewarded with a laugh and a smack on the back as she left the room and Isaac to go help Noel with whatever she was doing.

Well what ya think I'm not really doing much on gym battles but more on the story. Is it good enough to continue at this point?
