"Ysbydra's Night celebration is incomplete without a Ysbydra's Night Lantern," Aria smiles as she follows Sirius, Remus, Lyn, Marleen and Piers out of the shop holding onto a paper lantern. All around Spikemuth was celebrating, the lights were strung, children were running around in costumes and masks..
"We weren't able to celebrate last year because of the Hunt," Piers said walking beside her, "But lots of people lose sight of what this holiday really means. About remembrance," he holds up his lantern, "We light lanterns to remember our ancestors and to settle our debts,"
Aria looks at the lantern in her hands before she holds it close to her, "Hard to celebrate after what happened," she thought to herself. Thinking about what happen to Filch and Mrs. Norris, about how the school could talk little else but the attack on the two..the fresh blood written on the wall making sure that everyone was always reminded of it. Ron had mentioned that the custodians have been trying to scrub the message off the wall but nothing worked, the words still gleamed as brightly as ever on the stone.
But now that it was Ysbrdra's Night and tomorrow Dechraul's Day, the whole attack has been driven from their minds. Not only were people celebrating the night and day when the two Goddesses gave up their eyes to create the sun and moon, but also the beginning of the end.
Aria didn't know this from last year, as at the time she was pretending to still hate her parents so she wouldn't feel the guilt of actually hating them, but when her mother had killed Voldemort it had sparked something in all the people of Galar. Soon the true civil war of Galar, the War of Blood truly began, no longer a simple takeover as it was for the first eleven years. Even the people of the Albion League, at least those who weren't corrupted, slowly started to fight back. It still surprised Aria that Galar was..so lazy…and disappointed her that only Dumbledore's group seemed to do anything before the three's deaths..but hardly anyone wanted to believe that the great Albus Dumbledore could be defeated by in what they thought was a God-Blessed who wanted more than he deserved. Especially since Dumbledore ended the world war with Grindelwald so many people had kept their heads down.
So after Aria was shipped off to the Dursleys after that fateful night, the members of Team Neider, to the lowly grunts to the high ranking Admins were all hunted down. Of course they didn't go down without a fight. Some went down fighting bringing their attacker with them, others were dragged screaming into Azkaban about how their Lord's sacrifice will bring about a new age for the Demon Gods.
"Not that many believe.." Aria thought as the group followed down the street in the lowest layer of Spikemuth, also known as Down City to many. They were heading to the plaza of it, where the Royal Blacksmiths (a band that originated from Spikemuth, hardly anyone outside the city knows of it but in Aria's opinion it was better than Celstia Warbeck's singing).
She was just glad to be spending time with her family, away from the whispers in the hall since it was found out by the other students that it was her that found the petrified body of Filch and the dead body of Mrs. Norris. Of course everyone forgot about the others being there or Bella being the one who found it first, nope it was only the Girl-Who-Lived that they cared about.
Aria blinks when she feels a hand ruffles her hair and glares at Sirius who chuckles, "Alright pup, tell me what's wrong," he smiles when he sees her raise an eyebrow, "You have the same look on your face when Lily-flower was thinking of something.."
Aria rubs the bottom of her lantern and looks to Piers and Lyn, seeing Lyn nodding her head, Aria explains about what's been happening at Hogwarts. Speaking of how Filch and his Delcatty was attack, about the voice they heard and how Piers is sure that it was the same voice from his vision, and the message on the wall.
When Aria had mention the Tomb of Cipher, Sirius blinks, rubbing his head while almost stumbling into a wall before Remus grabs him, "Huh..never thought I would hear about that place after dear old mum croaked,"
"You know it?!" Aria asked with wide eyes, "Not even Hermione could find anything about it!" Ever since the attack, Hermione has forgotten about the row she and Aria had about Lockhart and while it was quite usual for Hermione to spend a lot of time reading, she was now doing nothing else, trying to find anything about the Tomb.
"I'm not surprised," Sirius mutters, "The story of the Tomb of Cipher has been passed down through families that are God-Bless for many generations, she isn't going to find anything about it in Hogwarts' library. Its an old bedtime story really, told to little kids, to teach them that anyone with less than Pure God-Blood is an enemy to them,"
"What's the story?" Aria asked as Lyn led them to a cafe, plunking down into a seat and releasing her Pokemon seeing that it was a Poke-Friendly Cafe. Nimbus happily jumped into her lap as Dobby settled into her hair, Hedwig claiming her shoulder while Godzilla sat by her feet. Piers sat down next to her, doing the same only with Inkay hanging off his chair, Scraggy climbing into his own and glaring at Sirius for even trying to take it, and Linoone and Stunky fighting over who would sit in their trainer's lap..until Marleen happily took Stunky into hers and begin to scratch at his ears.
Sirius scratches at his chin, which was slowly regrowing the beard that he was forced to shave off last year since it was so matted from his stay in Azkaban, "So I know you two already know of the Founders am I right?"
Aria and Piers look at each other in confusion, wondering what the Founders have to do with this, "Only that they were probably the greatest trainers of their time, since they were around the age when the Forbidden King was in charge and they founded the school after not only the Forgotten King's Death but after the death of the Once and Future King at the hands of the Black Knight,"
"That is very much true..even though many would say Emrys was the greatest Trainer of all, but everyone agrees that they were the best. They were trainers during the time where those of Aura were hunted down and killed..not knowing that those who use Aura were better trainers for it. These four trainers, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowan Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin became well known in fighting back knights and bandits who sought out to kill those of Aura in the name of the Forgotten King,"
"They saved many lives..but there were many lives they couldn't save..the Village of Cipher was one of them,"
"The Village of Cipher?" Aria asked softly and Sirius nods
"Cipher means secret..it was a secret Village, hiding away many families from the eyes of the Forgotten King..," Sirius sighs rubbing his forehead, "And it would had protected for many, many years..but during the beginning of the Once and Future King's Reign when he declared that Aura was once again allowed..and the people in the village rejoice by bringing the protections down"
Piers clicks his tongue, softly scratching Linoone's chin, "I guess that was a bad idea,"
"It was..in one night the whole village was attacked. The people didn't didn't care who they killed either it be old, young..even newborn babies..the whole village was gone in one night..nothing was left..well except for the demon
"A demon..and I'm guessing its nothing like Shendu," Aria asked softly, looking at Lyn, knowing that it was a demon that was blocking Piers from seeing fully in his vision in Serene Hollow Village.
Sirius shakes his head "You are very much correct kiddo, a true demon not like the Eight Demon Gods. At least that is what most people say. History is written by the winners, and is also rewritten by the winners,"
"Yeah," Piers nods his head leaning back in his chair ignoring Marleen's look of disapproval, "Like how the Elder brothers die. Some say they died in the final battle while others say they were killed before the final battle by their own mistakes.."
Aria blinks at that remembering their visit to the museum..Ron had said that the elder brother was struck down by a spy while the other had killed himself to be with his love..but Snyde had said they were killed in the final battle with Shendu.
"No one knows for sure what it is, or what its name is..could be a demon or even the angry spirits of those who had lived there, or even some Wisps," Yacker comes out of Aria's Dyna Band with a beep making Aria chuckle and poke him before she giggles when he stole some of Remus' chocolate cake, "I heard once that some people think its a Yveltal that had taken roost..all anybody knows is that it was Salazar Slytherin who found it.."
"Wait," Piers interrupts, "What does Salazar have to do with this?"
"Well, while for a few years the four Founders worked in harmony together, seeking out any youngsters, either those who have the gift or talent to use aura or those who just had the talent of training Pokemon, bringing them to the castle to be educated, in hopes of uniting those of the Old Religion and New Religion..to stop the fear, anger and hatred.. But there were disagreements between them. A rift began to grow between Salazar and the others, for he thought they should be more..selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He wanted to keep it to those who could only use Aura…"
"It's not surprising though," Remus points out, "Even though Aura use was legal now during the creation of Hogwarts, many still hunted them..he probably worried about the parts of those who didn't use aura might do if they found out that the school was allowing those who could use aura in..or worse the students who can't use aura,"
"That's the one thing I ever agreed with my mother on," Sirius mutters, rubbing his arm, "Especially since the school was founded around the time of the Once and Future King's death. Anyway more and more disagreements began to pop up in the four, mostly between Slytherin and Gryffindor and a rift began to grow between the three and Slytherin..and after one final argument Slytherin left the school,"
Sirius pauses as a waitress comes over with their food, Aria happily takes the plate of chicken pot pie as Sirius continues the tale, "They never thought much of it..Slytherin was known to travel..to leave the school. Many God-Bless will never admit it but Slytherin wasn't from Galar."
"Wait.." Aria blinks Nimbus looking from his own bowl of Pokefood covered in Ketchup, "Slytherin wasn't from Galar?"
Sirius looked about, smirking at how both Piers and Aria were eyeing him with awe shining in their eyes. It was almost like he was telling a deep dark secret that no one wanted the world to know, "No while Helga, Rowan and Godric were born and raised in Galar, Salazar Slytherin in fact came from Hoen..from a Druid tribe known as the Draconids..,"
"The Draconids?" Piers said softly.
"Yes..a Druid Tribe that lived with Dragon-type Pokemon..and well worshiped Rayquaza," Aria and Piers looked at each other at the Pokemon that made their House Symbol, "Yes," Sirius chuckles at their looks, "You don't think they chose those legendaries willy nilly do you?"
"Well..I mean," Aria bits at her lip, "Ron mention that they were the Founders allies,"
Remus nods his head at that, "Very true..they were their allies..stories say that Godric, a humble knight of Mercia raised his Solgaleo from a Cosmog, never knowing what he was raising. Rowena who lived in Freezigton and visited the Dyna Tree Hill so much that she befriended the Articuno there and who showed her the castle that would one day become Hogwarts..Helga, well," he smiles as not only were the two kids were listening but so were their Pokemon, he loved teaching. Before the war he had wanted to become a Professor at Hogwarts, but he then had to help the Order under Dumbledore's orders, asking the Druids for help and afterwards, with Lily and James' death, with Sirius being thrown in Azkaban..Alister's kidnapping..he fell in a deep dark depressed state that only Marleen and Piers had dragged him out of..enough to get his Mastery in History and then get an apprenticeship to get his Mastery for Archaeology. His own teacher, Brandon, helped him even more with his love of teaching the younger generation of the past, "a simple woman who from Caerleon who lost her husband but befriended Raikou..Salazar came from Hoen just after the great meteor hit the earth and Rayqaza settle the fight between Kyorge and Groundon, in search to see if any of the other Regions were affected by the same power that introduced Mega Evolution..instead he met the three and became fast friends with them..forming the school and making the symbol of his House the Legendary that his tribe worship,"
Sirius puts more sugar in his coffee having scrunched up his face at the bitter taste when he first sipped it, "As I said Salazar leaving the school was normal, especially after arguments between him and Godric. He searched Galar, exploring the vast Wild Areas, the hidden temples and abandoned castles..until he found.."
"The Tomb of Cipher," Aria said, giving a piece of her pot pie to Hedwig to nibble on and Sirius nodded his head.
"Correct…stories are different if you are in Slytherin or Gryffindor. The Slytherins say that the three other Houses worried for their friend no matter how many arguments happen went looking for him and found him in the village while the Gryffindors say that he lead a attack at the school..but what everyone agrees is that there was a great battle and in the end all four had died.."
Aria sets her fork down looking up at Dobby who was quite, shivering in her hair, "I don't want to make it sound unfair but it sounds like the Gryffindors are right..if the Founders did go looking for Slytherin, then the Tomb of Cipher wouldn't be anywhere near the school wouldn't?"
"Some say there..is a tunnel under the school," Marleen explains rubbing her arm to warm it up a bit, "It was either created by Salazar when he was attacked..or it was created by one of his children so that whatever had attacked the school all those years ago could finish the job of purging those without the ability to use their to legend, only the heir of Slytherin would be able to unseal the entryway to the Tomb of Cipher and unleash the horror within,"
"Which is quite worrying," Sirius mutters holding his hands together as Padfoot places his head on his knee, "The heirs to the Founders..Rowena's daughter died at a young age in Sinnoh back then Hisui, Helga's family soon became the Smith family," both Piers and Aria scrunched up their faces at that knowing Zacharias Smith who loved to remind everyone that he was a descendant of Hufflepuff to anyone who would listen (which was only Justin and Ernie). "Godric's daughter, married Sebastian Potter," he nods to Aria making her blink at the fact that she was related to Godric Gryffindor, "But no one knows where Salazar's Heir went..at least until..the War of Blood,"
"Voldemort," Aria whispers thinking of how many people he got on his side when he declared himself the Heir of Slytherin..the likes of Malfoy still glare at her, for her mother killing him.
"Yes..and the only other Heir is in Orre for the Founder of their school, Ilvermorny had children and now one of her descendants is the Headmaster…so.."
"That means that there is an Heir of Slytherin.." Aria whispers, "Did Voldemort have a brother..or even a son?" she blinks in confusion when Dobby gives a little hiss but saw him glaring at Yacker who had poke at him
"No one knows," Remus shrugs, "James did some research after one battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort, when the Headmaster called him Tom Riddle, that his mother was Merope Gaunt and while she didn't have anymore children since she died during childbirth, that she did have a brother..who might had have children..but no one knows since he died in Azkaban…"
"But there is a chance he had a family.." Aria said, "There's a chance that they had a family too and now his descent has opened the way to the Tomb.."
All four adults look at each other before nodding their heads. Aria looks at her Pokemon, her face scrunched up in worry.
"I always knew that Salazar Slytherin was a twisted old loony," Ron said after Aria and Piers told the others what they learned when they got back to Hogwarts the next day. They fought their way through the teeming corridors, ignoring the stares and mutters from the other students, "But I never knew he started all that God-Bless stuff," he turns his gaze towards Aria and Piers, "I don't know how you can handle being in his House with those sort of.."
"Its not as bad as you think," Piers said with a glare, "Aria and the other representatives have order our House to keep it down..its only Malfoy and his goons who keep yelling it out," Aria nods her head in agreement, the first thing she and the Representatives of Slytherin had did the day after the first attack was have a House meeting. Aria was pleasantly surprised and quite happy to see that Ginny had become the new Representative of the first years as Aria had taken the Second-Year spot. Eleanor Mcnair who had taken Hugo Bletchley's spot after he graduated had given them all a warning.
"I don't give a bloody care what you all think of this..I want you all to keep your heads down. Because thanks to this tacky message not only will the other eyes of the Houses will be on us but so will Dumbledore's. He will try to do anything to put the blame on us," she nods her head to Aria, which makes the girl give a deadpan look about how there were really no secrets at Hogwarts.
"All our hard work to show the other Houses that we are not evil is going down the drain because of this and if I hear any of you spouting out your beliefs outside the common room, there will be dire consequences," Aria was please to see that Elenor was giving Malfoy a hard look and was very happy to see him shiver, "From now on I want everyone to be with somebody, do not leave the common room alone..be vigilant, be careful and be safe..and know that f you need any help that we the Council will be here to help,"
Aria shakes her head as they are shunted along the throng, Collin calls out to her, "Hiya Aria!" which makes Aria smile at the young Gryffindor "Aria! Aria, a boy in my class has been saying that you're.." but Collin couldn't finish what he was saying as he was pushed away from them.
Aria sighs, an eye twitching as Leon pats her shoulder. It was no secret that thanks to Dumbledore that many were thinking she was the one to open the Tomb. She grumbles about sheep as they head to one of the many large spare rooms for their first actual lessons on battling with Professor Snape. Aria had been correct that Dumbledore had no reason to deny the potion master in restarting the Battling Club, especially when from what she heard did it during a meeting between the Lyn and the Hour heads. Flitwick who was in charge of the old Battle Club before it was canceled last year was all for it, especially if they get more teachers like Lockhart were hired.
Now the group enters the room that was held in the Dungeon, glaring slightly as she hears some of the older Gryffindors muttering in distaste about having to go to the dungeons more than usual. "If you don't want to be here, then you don't have to," Aria thought as she rolled her eyes before her attention was pulled towards Professor Snape.
Instead of wearing his normal black lab coat which hid what he normally wore underneath it, now they could see he was wearing a long black turtleneck along with silver pants. He eyes them all with a stern glance making sure that the Gryffindors were quiet.
"Welcome to the reinstated Battle Club,"he draws out as soon as they are quiet, "Here you are to learn what you should be learning in Battling 101," he sneers and everyone mutters in agreement, even the Gryffindors who didn't like Snape. Ever since the incident with Impidimps the Professor has only read aloud or acted from his books..luckily it seems that Sirius' threat has been keeping him from pulling her over..but Leon has not been so lucky.
"So much to do..so little time," he states slowly turning to all of them, "But you can not be afraid, as being a Trainer gives you power. Power of a warrior. Invincible courage or terrible destruction. Inner strength, of wonder and ruin. The power of a guardian. Kindness to aid friends, a shield to repel all..but let's see if you have what it takes to get to that power," he pulls a Ultra Ball from his belt and throws it in the air.
The Pokemon that comes out of it was purple with a light blue underbelly that matches the stripes on his legs. With a large fin-like in front of it's face with two light-blue electric frills running down from the base and down its neck. Four organs protrude from its chest. It stood upright smirking at all of them as it crossed its arms while rolling its eyes when all the students' Rotom Phones activated.
Toxtricity: Low Key Form- It has an electrical organ on its chest that makes it capable of generating 15,000 volts of electricity. When doing so it fills its surrounding with what sounds like the strumming of a bass guitar. This Pokemon also looks down on all that would challenge so,"
"Oh bloody.." Ron curses, "Charlie told me once that Snape's Toxtricity put a hole in a student's head for messing up a simple Potion.."
"Now I want all of you to release one Pokemon," Snape orders and there is a quick movement as everyone pulls out a Pokeball and releases it. Aria releases Hedwig, knowing the Noibat would really want to be part of a fight now that her molting was finally done..and Godzilla has been sleeping more and more, only waking up to eat some dirt. Raihan releases his Torkoal which makes her glare at him while Leon releases his Honedge. Ron had Billy the Sewaddle out and Hermione her Bunnery. Like Aria, Neville released his Starter, Trevor, the Larion stomping his foot on the ground and snorting at the Toxtricity who rolled his eyes at that.
Feeling heat, Aria turns her head to see Malfoy smirking at her along with his stater. Like Leon's Chameleon, Malfoy's Litten had evolved. The large Torracat sneers at all of them with its yellow and red eyes, the fire sack on its neck flaring making the sound of a bell ringing as he stood by his master's feet, waiting for orders. Next to him Pansy had released her Morpeko, "Probably so she can use its dark type moves against Toxtricity. Since Pansy is an electric type trainer," Aria thought to herself as she pulls her attention back to Snape.
She blinks when she sees that his Toxtricity was now gone, instead a large hole was in its place, "It used Dig?" Aria whispers but Hermione looks at her.
"But Toxtricity can't learn dig! It said so in the Pokedex!" Aria rolls her eyes looking at the Ravenclaw.
"Lots of Pokemon can learn moves they can't normally learn..Bella's Bulbasaur Vivi bloody knows Whirlwind!"
Hermione grunts in annoyance, "That isn't Whirling! Vivi is just blowing things away..Aria, look out!" Hermione calls out, making her look down as a large purple and blue paw erupted from the ground and wrapped around her ankle. Aria grumbles to herself that she was glad she was wearing pants instead of a skirt as she hangs upside down, the Toxtricity smiling at her with narrow eyes.
"Are you scared Potter?" Snape drawls making her turn to the Professor, "I think you are," at that moment Honedge comes swinging at him, blade glowing as it slashes down, forcing the Toxtricity to let her go to jump back away from the Slash. Aria quickly rolls back to her feet, Hedwig flying beside her as she pants.
She watches as the other students quickly attacks the poison/electric type, but he easily dodges their moves. She watches as Torracat lunges with fiery fangs but he easily grabs him by the face with a glowing green paw before slamming the fire cat into the ground.
"Drain Punch," Hermione whispers before she narrows her eyes, "Buneary! Use Ice Beam" the little rabbit narrows her eyes at her before opening her mouth, a blue beam erupting from it and hitting Toxtricity in the back, forming ice on it just as it throws Goyle's Galarian Stunfish into Crabbe's Mankey making the Pig Monkey Pokemon squeal in anger as the trap Pokemon bites down on it. Totricity hisses, turning its attention to them which makes their eyes widen but Piers glares back at it as so did Raihan.
"Scraggy use Sand Attack/Torkoal use Smokescreen!" the two order and while Torkoal opens its mouth to let out a billow of smoke, Scraggy pulls up its pants before turning around, kicking up sand into Toxtricity's eyes.
"I thought he was going to teach us how to battle," Hermione complained, trembling as Toxtricity gave out a roar of anger, "He's just having it attack us!"
"No," Raihan's blue eyes kept still on the black cover of smoke, "He is teaching us. Not all battles will be under the eyes of the referee Hermione!" he watches as Daphne's Sneasle charges into the smoke, before being thrown back out but being caught by Davis' Natu, "Any battle in the wild or even by a member of a Team could be like this. Not all trainers listen to the guidelines of the Association..and neither do Wild Pokemon,"
At that moment, Cedric Diggory, a fifth year Hufflepuff and the Catcher of that Team, orders his Sirfetched to use Sword Dance along with Brick break while Vinh has her Beautifly try to hold the Toxicity down with string shot and stun spore. But the Toxtricity easily grabbed the string shot and threw the bug type into Sirfetched making both squeal in pain, as they tumbled into the ground.
"Its no wonder he wants the position of Battling Professor," Aria mumbles as Flint and Wood tried to team up together. While the two Captains of the Royal Raids were always fighting each other to win the game, when they worked together..it was amazing. Still they were no match for Toxtricity.
"Class is in session," Aria looks up at Snape who was eyeing her, "Will you cower? Or will you fight?" Toxtricity leaps for them, leg glowing in a Mega Kick but Billy, strings shots it, wrapping the webbing around its leg but the Sewaddle squeals when it was sent flying to the air. Hedwig quickly uses Wing Attack to cut the webbing and grabs the bug/grass Pokemon.
After putting Billy back on the ground, Hedwig flies towards Toxtricity, fangs glowing and much longer than usual in a Super Fang biting into its arm but Toxtricity just smiles before its whole body was covered in electricity.
"Fuck! Thunder Shock.." Aria grumbles, "It's a good thing that with Hedwig being part Dragon, it's not effective like usual," she thinks to herself, as Trevor charges, head low in a headbutt.
"Why aren't you all working together?" They all looked up at Snape who was eyeing them, "You have to establish a connection between both of you as Pokemon and Trainer..or you will never get far.." Toxtricity easy lifts up Trevor and slams him face first into the ground. Aria looks at Hedwig, the Noibat panting but nods her head..
"Ok..let's do this..Hedwig, Flame Charge!"
"Aria!" Hermione cries out as Bunery hops out of the way of an attack, "You and Hedwig haven't fully mastered that move! You know that she can use it until she evolves!"
"True..but it will at least do some damage to him!" Hedwig cries out as she twirls in the air, green and yellow meet each other, and Aria felt her aura rise up, "We need fear to survive. We experience it so that we can grow stronger," she remembers the fear she felt when she fought Alister and her eyes glow golden as flames begin to coat Hedwig's feathers.
Leon watches this in amazement, "If she wasn't a Slytherin I would call Aria reckless..but she is no Gryffindor..no she has the courage to fight in spite of her fear.." he clenches his hands into fist before he turns to Honedge, "Shadow Sneak!"
Honedge jumps a bit into the air before diving down into the shadows..Toxtricity's eyes were on Hedwig so he didn't notice Honedge until it was two late and the blade Pokemon slams him into his stomach. Snape blinks at this but then turns his gaze back to the Noibat, whose flames were growing stronger and stronger before she dives down At first it looked like the Noibat was going to hit Toxtricity straight in the center..but soon she loses her balance, flapping crazy she turns to the left so instead of hitting Toxtricity straight on the Flame Charge only hits it in the side..and while still hurting it, doesn't do as much damage as it should.
"Fuck…still got to practice that along with Volt Tackle," Aria mutters ignoring Hermione calling her an idiot for usuing a move they couldn't fully control but turns to Snape, golden eyes turning back to green.
"No..that Flame Charge..was more powerful than it should be.." Snape thought, staring at the Potter girl, his own eyes flashing purple a bit "I knew her Aura was this powerful..but to be able to link with her Pokemon already?" He looks up at the Noibat who was flying above ignoring how the other students were trying to attack his Toxtricity, "Still they aren't that stable. Potter's Aura is earnest and strong-willed..her Noibat's aura is proud and arrogant..like most Pokemon with a dragon typing..appearing to be in resonance but they aren't..at least not yet..still to see them like this..as only second years.."
Snape sighs wishing that there were more classes for the use of Aura. He remembers stories from his mother, when Professor Dippet was Headmaster. Back then Hogwarts was the best school in all of Galar and not just because the Albion League said so..but when Dippet retired and Albus took over..so many classes were canceled. Classes like Regional Languages, Law and Politics, Finances, Etiquette, Mythical History, Aura..all gone..it was a given that Dumbledore would shut down Mythical History..he had always hated the stories of the Gods and always said that Legendries are just regular Pokemon that anyone can catch..but it was like he didn't want the students to succeed outside of Galar..he knew lots of God-Bless Families have tutors brought in during the Summer months..but those who have scholarships. He looks at Granger and shakes her head seeing the girl ordering her Buneray to attack using Jump Kick. Students like Granger fall behind, laugh out of shops and any jobs because they don't know what they need..
"Well at leasts Lily's girl won't have that problem..not with Dragoon and Black.." Snape sighs, "Unfortunately for Dumbledore.." he narrows his eyes, "Toxtricity..focus on the Noibat..and stop holding back,"
Toxtricity hisses and easily grabs the Noibat when she tried to wing attack him, smirking, blue sparks dance off his paw, shocking the Noibat as it barks in pain before Honedge Slashes down, forcing him to let go.
"A relationship between a trainer and a Pokemon is like a relationship between a guitar and an amplifier.." Snape thinks as he watches the students cry out attacks, all their auras floating out of their bodies and into their Pokemon, "On a trainer's own without any training to be a sorcerer/sorceress is only capable of emitting a small noise. But when you connect them through their bond with their a guitar connected to an amplifier, you enhance the sound waves and the result is much more powerful than before. Even when Potter failed," he turns his gaze back to the girl, "her Noibat's use of Flame Charge was a perfect example of it,"
"Fuck that was a dumb move," Aria growls eyes focusing on Toxtricity when both their attention was pulled towards Torkaol, who had pulled his head, arms and legs into his shell and was spinning towards Toxtricity.
"It's a bad move to forget that we are here!" Raihan smirks, showing his fangs as his blue eyes seem to glow. Aria couldn't help but think that when Raihan was in a battle..he was a completely different person..Torkoal slams into Toxtricity's back making it cry out in pain while at that moment both Billy and Buneary try to bind it by using String Shot and Ice Beam. But even that does nothing as a large blue wave of electricity comes out, shocking all three. At that moment, Torkaol, Buneary and Billy joined the rest of the fainted Pokemon.
"Damn..the difference between us.." Aria grits her teeth together, "It's too great.."
"This is what it is.." Piers mutters, shaking at the sight of his Head of House, "to fight a Pro Trainer..someone who has been fighting for years.."
Neville grunts, "I don't think I can ever go back into the Potion Classroom anymore after this..pets Trevor who moans in pain from having his face slammed into the ground. Aria looks as Toxtricity looks at them a mocking smirk on its face.
"But that doesn't mean we still can't fight..just because we're afraid doesn't mean we have to stop, sure we can run away," Aria whispers as Hedwig flies in front of her, "But it doesn't mean that we would always get away. Wild Pokemon, Trainers who want to hurt you..they won't let you run away.."
Leon smirks and nods his head, Honedge slashing the air in front of him, "I'm all for it. If we die..at least we die cool in a Champion way,"
"You're not the Champion just yet, Leon," Aria, Piers, Raihan and Neville said before Hedwig flies forward. Aria's eyes were glowing golden once more as Hedwig's wings glow white in a Wing Attack
"You really think this will work, huh Potter?" Snape drawls but then his eyes widen when sand attacks Toxtrictiy's eyes before webbing wrapped around him. Looking over they see Ron smirking holding Billy who while still weak, was now awakened from a Revive on hand as Hermione throws a piece of wood at Aria, who grabs it.
"That also means we can't just let our Pokemon do the work now can it?" Aria smirks at Snape, "That was the first lesson McGonagall taught us. Pokemon aren't just animals but beings..why should we think they need to do all the work?"
Aria knew it would be better if she could use her Aura Staff (or Aura Scythe, which she had learned to form this summer) but Lyn still doesn't want her to show off her ability as a Witch.. "Still..at least I can use this!" She charges as Hedwig flies around Toxtricity's face thrusting the staff at its shoulders but he quickly dodges before Aria finds herself on her back from a side sweep from his legs. She glares flipping back onto her feet, given time when Hedwig bites down on Toxtricity's arm.
Aria strikes at Toxtricty's side but grunts in pain when it punches at her, sending her skidding to the floor. She looks up to see Snape looking at her with a raised eyebrow as the other students whisper excitedly at this. Panting but smiling Hedwig flaps her wings, sending large winds of air towards Toxtricity. He stands his ground, yelping when Aria strikes his face with the staff but Aria yelps when her arm was grabbed and she was thrown, slammed onto her back.
"Fuck…this is worse than fighting Alister!" Aria thought looking up as Toxtricity sneers at her, sparks of lightning dancing on his form..before Hedwig slams into him, biting down on one of his frills, yellow eyes glaring.
"That's enough.." Snape looks at all them, those who were getting up, having using revives and sighs, "While it seems there is much to do..you earn a passing grade," Aria blinks up at him, eyes going back to gren, panting and trembling in exhaustion, "But you all learn what I wanted to teach you. It isn't just your Pokemon that will be fighting..its also you. In this Battling Club, I will be teaching you how to fight alongside your Pokemon,"
"I bet he thinks he's a funny guy, huh, "Raihan mutters but stills when Snape glares at him.
"But..you are all better now than you were before? Don't you think?" Snape drawls before returning Toxtricity, "If you still want these lessons, come to the next meeting..other than that I don't care.."
Aria blinks watching him leave before slumping onto the ground, Hedwig flying over and landing on her stomach with a tired cheep, "I think I'm going to have nightmares about this.." Aria mumbles while ignoring Hermione complaining.
So if you find anything familiar about this fight..yes I use soul eater as a basis..and maybe the fight between Horus and Set from Gods of Egypt (yes I know its a horrid movie but blame my friend who got me into the friendship of Bek and Horus!)
Anyway I hope you all enjoy and honestly hope I get better at fighting scenes..please leave a review!
