Final chapter:
Sayonara Hoenn, Bonjour Kalos!
Location: Verdanturf Town
Today was the day I leave for the Kalos region, but I had a few things to check off my mental to do list first.
Battle Wally at Verdanturf Town.
Watch Lisia perform the Master Class Cool Contest at Verdanturf Town.
Battle May at Route 103.
Get to Lilycove Airport.
"Hey Brendan!" Wally said. He ran over to me but started coughing a bit.
"Steady, steady," I told him. "Don't push yourself."
"I won't," he replied. "No, I will!"
"What's this then?" In her casual attire was Lisia. She had her Altaria out with her. "A battle, I see."
"Yeah," I said. "Hey, Lisia. I think… I've been a bit of a jerk to you. It took me a while to get to where I am now. I even gave one of my attached Ribbons to my sister whose now far away. So, to see you rise in the ranks this quickly, I think I've took things a bit seriously."
Lisia laughed. "Don't worry! A rivalry is healthy! At long as it doesn't go too far and it's not a non-selfish cause. But we worked together yesterday. I can see how you got to where you were."
I looked at Wally, then to Lisia. "So, Lisia, are you going to watch our match?"
"I need to get ready," Lisia replied. "But I'll be cheering for both of you! Wally, take it easy."
After Lisia left, Wally got serious. He held a Pokéball in his hand. "Here… we go!" he shouted.
Brendan Vs. Wally
"I choose Armaldo!" I shouted.
"You're up Roserade!" Wally replied, sending out a green Pokémon with white hair and a rose for each hand. One was blue, one was red, and both looked deadly.
Roserade (ロズレイド)
#099 (Hoenn)
Grass/Poison Type
Bouquet Pokémon
2'11" (0.9 m)
32 lbs (14.5 kg)
With the movements of a dancer, it strikes with whips that are densely lined with poison thorns.
Budew -Happiness during Day- Roselia -Sun Stone- Roserade
"Okay Roserade, Sunny Day!" Roserade shot a beam into the sky, increasing the intensity of the sun.
"Armaldo, Hone Claws!" Armaldo sharpened its claws. This raised its Attack and Accuracy.
"Now use Solar Beam!" Roserade took in the sun's rays and fired a beam of light at Armaldo. It was a heavy hitter, and it was a miracle that Armaldo was still standing.
"Use X-Scissor!" Armaldo slashed at Roserade in an X formation. It did about half to it.
"Now use Sludge Bomb!" Roserade fired a purple ball of goop at Armaldo, finishing it.
"Good job," I told Armaldo. "Seviper, go!" Out came a Poison Type.
"Weather Ball!" Roserade fired a ball of fire at Seviper. Seviper was thrown back a bit.
"Use Poison Jab!" Seviper darted forward and hit Roserade with its toxic tail. It was a Critical Hit! Roserade was down!
"Magnezone, take over!" Wally's next Pokémon was round with a yellow antenna on its head and some magnets around it.
Magnezone (ジバコイル)
#086 (Hoenn)
Electric/Steel Type
Magnet Area Pokémon
3'11" (1.2 m)
396.8 lbs (180 kg)
Sometimes the magnetism emitted from Magnezone is too strong, making them attract each other so they don't move.
Magnemite -Lv 30- Magneton -Lv up in Magnetic Field (Such as New Mauville)- Magnezone
"Come back Seviper," I told it. "Can't have a Poison Type going up against a Steel Type. Now a Ground Type on the other hand? Go Swampert!" I sent out a Pokémon that could counter Magnezone. Or so I thought. "Earthquake!"
"Magnet Rise!" Before Swampert could make the ground shake, Magnezone lifted into the air. The Earthquake had no effect. It was a clever strategy.
"Okay Swampert, return. I choose Machamp!" I swapped out a Ground Type for a Fighting Type.
"Magnezone, Tri Attack!" Magnezone fired Ice, Fire and Electric energy at Machamp for a normal Type move. "Now Flash Cannon!" Next, Magnezone fired a white beam. This hit Machamp also.
"Use Dynamic Punch!" Machamp punched Magnezone hard in the face. It was a direct hit that confused Magnezone.
"Oh no," Wally said to himself. "Magnezone, Thunderbolt!" Magnezone instead hit itself.
"One more Dynamic Punch!" Machamp punched Magnezone a second time, finishing it off.
"Gardevoir, go!" Wally sent out the first Pokémon he ever caught. It was the beautiful Gardevoir.
Gardevoir (サーナイト)
#031 (Hoenn)
Psychic/Fairy Type
Embrace Pokémon
5'03" (1.6 m)
106.7 lbs (48.4 kg)
Gardevoir has the ability to read the future. If it senses impending danger to its Trainer, this Pokémon is said to unleash its psychokinetic energy at full power.
Ralts -Lv 22- Kirlia -Lv 30- Gardevoir
"Come back Machamp," I told it. "I choose Seviper!" Seviper came out and took a Moonblast from Gardevoir. Forgot about the Psychic Type though. "Use Psychic!" Gardevoir, using Psychic energy, lifted Seviper into the air. Then, it threw it back down. Seviper was finished.
"Urgh," I said. "Dusknoir, go!" Would my Ghost Type do the trick?
"Psychic again!" Gardevoir blasted back Dusknoir with Psychic energy.
"Confuse Ray!" Dusknoir sent a weird beam towards Gardevoir. It was confused.
"Use Psychic again!" Gardevoir hurt itself in the confusion.
"Now use Shadow Punch!" Dusknoir punched the floor. Its shadow extended and punched Gardevoir.
"Use Psychic again!" Gardevoir however hurt itself a second time.
"One more Shadow Punch!" Dusknoir used its Ghost Type move one last time, knocking out Gardevoir.
"Well, your Shadow Punch will have no effect on Delcatty!" Wally shouted, sending his next Pokémon out. "But this will. Delcatty, Wild Charge!" Delcatty covered itself in electricity, then charged into Dusknoir. It was strong, but Delcatty took recoil damage.
"Dusknoir, Brick Break!" Dusknoir went up to Delcatty and chopped it on the head. It was a Super Effective hit.
"Now use Assist!" Delcatty handpicked a move from Wally's utility. However, it got Solar Beam. And with the runs rays now decapitated, it had to charge. Perfect opportunity in my eyes.
"Dusknoir, Brick Break again!" Dusknoir chopped Delcatty again, knocking it clean.
"Okay Azumarill, I choose you!" Wally sent out his new Water Type.
Azumarill (マリルリ)
#057 (Hoenn)
Water/Fairy Type
Aqua Rabbit Pokémon
2'07" (0.8 m)
62.8 lbs (28.5 kg)
Azumarill can make balloons out of air. It makes these air balloons if it spots a drowning Pokémon. The air balloons enable the Pokémon in trouble to breathe.
Azurill (B) -Happiness- Marill -Lv 18- Azumarill
I recalled Dusknoir. "Shiftry, go!" I shouted. "Use Energy Ball!" Shiftry fired a green ball at Azumarill. It was a Super Effective strike!
"Azumarill, use Play Rough!" Azumarill bounced over to Shiftry and started bashing it joyfully. It was a Super Effective hit that did a lot to Shiftry.
"Use it again!" Shiftry fired one more Energy Ball at Azumarill, finishing it.
"Well. Time for my final Pokémon. Gallade, go!" His Shiny Gallade entered the fray. "Let's do it. Gallade, let's make your sword fighting even better!" Wally pressed his Key Stone and Mega Energy started emanating. Then, it Mega Evolved. "Use Brick Break!" Mega Gallade jumped up and chopped Shiftry. The strong move finished it off.
"No!" I yelled. "Wally, you're amazing with Mega Evolution!"
"I trained whilst I took that time off," he said.
I sent out Dusknoir next. "Good luck with this one," I said.
"Not so fast. Night Slash!" One of Mega Gallade's arm blades went dark, and it swiped at Dusknoir. It still survived, but I was impressed with Wally's strategy. He may not be the healthiest Trainer, but he's one of the strongest that I know of.
"Use Shadow Punch!" Dusknoir attacked with its Ghost Type attack. Gallade was hit for Super Effective damage.
"Use another Night Slash!" Gallade sliced at Dusknoir once more, finishing it off.
"Time for my final Pokémon," I said. "I choose Swampert!" It was time. I pressed the Key Stone on my Mega Ring. "When our hearts become one. Beyond evolution… MEGA EVOLVE!" Swampert Mega Evolved right before our eyes.
"Now Gallade, Psycho Cut!" Gallade ran forward, its arm now glowing pink, and swiped Swampert.
"Come back with Earthquake!" Mega Swampert made the entire ground shake. Mega Gallade was still just standing.
"Now Night Slash!" Mega Gallade slashed at Mega Swampert in the face.
"Surf Swampert!" Mega Swampert made a wave that swamped Mega Gallade. It was down.
Wally smiled and recalled Gallade as Mega Swampert reverted back to normal Swampert. "Brendan… thanks." Wally looked at Rusturf Tunnel. "You know, we met in Petalburg City when you had moved here from Johto. You weren't exactly keen but look at you now. You saved the world, twice at that!"
"Yeah," I said. "And look at you. I don't think anyone has defied the odds as much as you. Even with a personal challenge, you pulled through. Getting over a move is one thing, but getting through a journey with a health difficulty, is amazing. As long as you don't push yourself too hard of course. You're my friend for a reason Wally."
He smiled. "I'm gonna miss you when you go to Kalos. I went on a family vacation when I was 8. It's an amazing place. Make sure to send me a selfie from Lumiose City!"
"I will," I said. "Come on, we don't want to miss Lisia's Contest!"
Location: Contest Hall
"The moment you've been waiting for is here!" shouted Rudy. "Who will win the Master Cool Ribbon? Well, let's find out!"
4th. Patrick and Manectric.
3rd. Omar and Crawdaunt.
2nd. Rebecca and Banette.
1st… LISIA and PIKACHU!
Everyone roared with excitement, including me (Wally didn't want to get too excited lest he have breathing problems). There was a whistle from the crowd.
"Thank you Hoenn!" Lisia said. "The only thing I wish for is that Brendan Seaview gives me a good challenge in the next Master Class Beauty Contest!" She held her Key Stone into the air. "And you can be sure, I won't be holding back!"

"It's amazing, isn't it?" May asked, as we walked to the place where we had our first battle. "Just one day after you moved to the Hoenn region, we battled right here. Back then, you just had a Mudkip and I just had Treecko. But look at us now. And hey, we saved the world a second time yesterday!"
In the distance, we saw the sun gleaming off Mt. Chimney. "We've come so far," I said. "And we can use Mega Evolution now!"
"I'm… going to miss you when you go off to Kalos," May told me. "Which is why… I want to give you my all in battle! So… welcome to Hoenn!"
Brendan Vs. May
"Okay Raichu, you're up first!" May shouted, sending out the orange Electric Type.
Raichu (ライチュウ)
#164 (Hoenn)
Electric Type
Mouse Pokémon
2'07" (0.8 m)
66.1 lbs (30 kg)
This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in the darkness. Raichu plants its tail in the ground to discharge electricity.
Pichu -Happiness- Pikachu -Thunderstone- Raichu
"And I choose Machamp!" I replied.
"Raichu, Thunderbolt!" Raichu shot an electric bolt at Machamp. It was a direct hit.
"Come back with Dynamic Punch!" Machamp hit back with a strong punch that confused Raichu as well as almost knocking it out.
"Raichu, come back with Volt Tackle!" Raichu charged towards Machamp at top speed, electricity coming off of it. Machamp was knocked out, but the recoil damage from Volt Tackle also knocked out Raichu.
"Drawing already?" I asked. "Interesting. Okay Dusknoir, go!"
"I choose Latias!" May replied. "Use Mist Ball!" Latias fired a misty ball at Dusknoir.
"Use Payback!" Dusknoir went over to Latias and punched Latias for a lot of damage.
"Come back with Dragon Pulse!" Latias then shot a pulse at Dusknoir. It was almost finished.
"Shadow Punch!" Dusknoir punched the ground, and its shadowy fist hit Latias. It was down.
"Swellow, you're next!" Out came the black and red Pokémon that was flying.
Swellow (オオスバメ)
#026
Normal/Flying Type
Swallow Pokémon
2'04" (0.7 m)
43.7 lbs (19.8 lbs)
Swellow flies high above our heads, making graceful arcs in the sky. This Pokémon dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots prey. The hapless prey is tightly grasped by Swellow's clawed feet, preventing escape.
Taillow -Lv 22 Swellow.
"Swellow, Air Slash!" Swellow sliced the air. Dusknoir was hit and flinched. "And again!" Swellow hit Dusknoir with one more Air Slash, landing a Critical Hit. Dusknoir was down.
"Armaldo, come on out!" I shouted. "Hopefully a Rock Type can do this!"
"I'm not so sure! Swellow, Steel Wing!" Swellow's wings turned to metal as it hit Armaldo in the side. Thankfully Armaldo has strong Defense.
"Rock Blast Armaldo!" Armaldo fired some rocks at Swellow. It hit four times, almost knocking the Flying Type out.
"Use Roost!" Swellow crested down on the floor, healing it.
"Use another Rock Blast!" Armaldo fired some more rocks at Swellow, but it wasn't Super Effective. Swellow had disabled the Flying Type that turn to heal itself and not take Super Effective damage.
"Use another Steel Wing!" Swellow attacked Armaldo again with its metal wings.
"Rock Blast attack!" Armaldo fired some rocks at Swellow. Finally, it went down.
"Wailord, you're next!" Out came the largest Pokémon to be registered as of now.
Wailord (ホエルオー)
#105 (Hoenn)
Water Type
Float Whale Pokémon
47'07" (14.5 m)
877.4 lbs (398 kg)
When chasing prey, Wailord herds them by leaping out of the water and making a humongous splash. It is breathtaking to see this Pokémon leaping out of the sea with others in its pod.
Wailmer -Lv 40- Wailord
"X-Scissor!" Armaldo attacked Wailord in an X formation.
"Wailord, Hydro Pump!" Wailord blasted water from its spout. It practically punched Armaldo back hard. Armaldo was defeated.
"Shiftry, go!" I yelled. "Use Energy Ball!" Shiftry fired a green ball at Wailord for Super Effective damage.
"Wailord, Bounce!" Wailord jumped high into the air.
"This isn't good. Shiftry, Nasty Plot!" Shiftry started, well, planning something nasty. This raised its Sp. Attack.
"Now!" Wailord came back down and crushed Shiftry with a Super Effective blow.
"Energy Ball, go!" Shiftry fired one last Energy Ball at Wailord, defeating it.
"Okay Magcargo, go!" shouted May, sending out her Fire Type.
"I'll switch to Swampert!" I shouted, as Swampert was sent out. "And you know what it's time for. When our hearts become one." I pushed the Keystone. "Beyond evolution… MEGA EVOLVE!" Swampert Mega Evolved into its bulkier form. "Use Surf!" Mega Swampert made a large wave that crashed onto Magcargo. It was out in one. "Great job Swampert, keep it up!"
"Okay. Let's do it. Go Sceptile!" May sent out her partner, then pressed her Key Stone. "With the power of the forest… WE MEGA EVOLVE!" Mega Energy emanated off of Sceptile, and it Mega Evolved. "Use Leaf Blade!" Mega Sceptile sliced Mega Swampert with the blade on its arm. Mega Swampert JUUUUSSSST hung on.
"Come back with Hammer Arm!" Mega Swampert slammed its fists down onto Mega Sceptile. "Didn't do it!" Just then, MegaSwampert looked at me. "Oh no…" Mega Swampert roared and started firing up a Surf directed at me.
"Leaf Blade!" Mega Sceptile came up from behind Mega Swampert and knocked it out.
"Thanks," I said. "Zinnia's right. I haven't quite mastered Mega Evolution yet."
"What's taking you?" May asked. "We can stop if you like."
"I'm fine," I said, getting back into the swing of things. "Seviper, go!" Out came a Poison Type to deal with the Grass Type.
"Sceptile, Dragon Claw!" Mega Sceptile jumped forward and sliced Seviper.
"Now use Poison Jab!" Seviper slithered to Mega Sceptile and jabbed it in the chest. It was a Critical Hit! Mega Sceptile fainted.
May smiled. "You're as strong as always Brendan." She looked up at the sky. "This reminds me of all three times we battled here, including the one just now. When you first came to Hoenn, when you became Champion and just before you started a new adventure in the new region. Hey, that reminds me!" May went onto her phone and flipped through her Pokégram. She showed me a black boy in a blue jacket. He was in a picture on someone's wall, and he had three Pokémon with him. One of them was a Zigzagoon.
Zigzagoon (ジグザグマ)
#012 (Hoenn)
Normal Type
Tiny Raccoon Pokémon
1'04" (0.4 m)
38.6 lbs (17.5 kg)
Zigzagoon restlessly wanders everywhere at all times. This Pokémon does so because it is very curious. It becomes interested in anything that it happens to see.
"Isn't that the son of Rhyhorn Racer Grace?" I asked.
"Yeah! He's just moved there, and he's on a journey! Maybe you'll bump into each other!"
"Maybe so," I said. Just then, my Pokénav went off. It was Professor Sycamore.
"Brendan, what are you doing? Our flight leaves from Lilycove in six hours!"
"Yeah, six hours," I replied.
"And how long does it take to get through the terminal?" May asked. She had a point.
"I'll be right there," I told the Professor, before hanging up. "Hey, don't feel sad. As far as I'm concerned. This isn't goodbye, this is just…"
"Good luck," May told me, as we hugged.
The End (Sort of).
"Attention all passengers of Air Kalos, we have almost landed in Lumiose City."
I was nudged by Professor Sycamore. "Please don't. I don't take jetlag well."
Professor Sycamore laughed. "Don't worry! Look out the window!"
Outside was a large city, with a giant metal building dead in the centre. "We're here…" I said. "The Kalos region!"
