Hey guys! Finally back after getting used to the school. Well not really, but in an attempt to not burn myself out I've started relaxing a little more, so this happened! I hope you enjoy and as I mentioned in A Legends Journey, I will start uploading one at a time, so after this chapter, A Legends Journey will continue. Also, I would like to mention that a new ally to the crew will be introduced at the end of this chapter ;) just saying, it's a requested oc.

Chapter~ A battle of mind and wit! Mega battles!
The crew walked outside of Omni's lab with said professor, Scott, Abel, and Anabel following suit. The crew along with Abel sat on one end while Ash and Pikachu walked up to a podium while Scott got up to referee.
"This will be a one on one match, which will end when the Pokémon on either side is unable to battle, begin now!" Scott declared as Ash and Anabel stared each other down
"Pikachu, it's time to roll!" Ash stated as Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and ran into the battlefield. "Let's do this" Pikachu replied with confidence in his voice.
"Don't worry Pikachu, your mind will be healed soon. Alright my friend, come on out!" Anabel retaliated as Espeon materialized from her pokeball.
"Alright let's start things off with quick attack into iron tail Pikachu!" Ash shouted as Pikachu shot towards Espeon at hyper speeds before switching out into the steel type attack, slamming it into espeon before it could react.
"Espeon, grab it with psychic and throw it onto the ground until it can no longer fight!" Anabel retaliated as Espeon recovered and grabbed Pikachu in a psychic hold. It then continued to slam Pikachu into the ground time and time again.
"Pikachu, release yourself from the hold with a Thunder to the sky!" Ash shouted as Pikachu shot a powerful thunderbolt into the sky before losing control and getting thrown into the ground again.
This continued a few more times before
Pikachu couldn't get up anymore, and was struggling to stay conscience as it was. "Now Espeon, clear it's mind if any brainwashing with mind heal!" Anabel shouted as espeon's eyes glew a different color than usual and surrounded Pikachu's head. One minute later espeon's eyes turned back to normal, before turning towards Anabel, shaking her head.
"I can't find any trace of brainwashing Anabel.." espeon explained as Anabel's face took on one of a look of shock.
"What?! But we've been practicing that for months, we've used it against organizations plenty of times!" Anabel exclaimed as she began to go through any possible reasons as to why the move wasn't working, causing Ash to laugh.
"Ya know Anabel, even though we only spent a few days together, I figured you and the others would know better than to believe I actually abuse my pokemon, sure I push them to their limits and sometimes they get hurt, but I never try to just let it happen during a battle or training regiment. Speaking of battles, this one's about to end!" Ash shouted as clouds began to form in the sky before a massive bolt of Thunder came down and struck Pikachu. The crowd watched in anticipation as the smoke from the shock disappeared slowly to see Pikachu fully recovered and with an electric gleam of sorts surrounding him. Pikachu was smirking as he looked towards Ash.
"Shall I?" Pikachu questioned as Ash returned the smirk.
"Yes we shall, now Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!" Ash commanded as Pikachu rushed espeon, giving it no time to react as Pikachu slammed into espeon and then back flipped to Ash's side of the arena, looking as if he had taken no damage.
Anabel recovered from her shock before looking at espeon and then back to Ash before grinning. "So maybe we were wrong, but I still want answers and I'll get them! Now Espeon! Use swift!" Anabel shouted as Espeon's eyes glew yellow and yellow stars began shooting towards Pikachu.
"Now Pikachu, cut the stars with Iron tail!" Ash retaliated as Pikachu's tail got a sheen of silver and began rapidly throwing his tail at the stars, shattering the ones that were about to hit him.
"Espeon, use psychic!" Anabel commanded as Espeon grabbed hold of Pikachu before it grew a look of pain and let go of Pikachu.
"Thunder Coat won't let you do that!" Now Pikachu let's finish this off! Use Volt Tackle once more!" Ash commanded as Pikachu once again rushed Espeon.
"Hey guys, what's Thunder Coat?" Abel asked as he continued to watch the battle.
"Oh, Thunder coat is this new move Ash and Pikachu came up with. Pikachu shoots a powerful bolt of Thunder into the sky, and if he times it right, it will come down and land on Pikachu, giving it a golden gleam along with a much boosted defence." Max explained. Just then, Justin's holograph went off as he looked at it before looking up.
"Wuh-oh, my match is up, I'll see you guys later ok?" Justin stated as he and mew got up to leave.
"Who's your opponent?" Caleb asked as Justin was about to leave.
"Uh, somebody named Juan. Never heard that name though. See yall later!" Justin responded before running towards town.
"Alright Espeon, let's finish this up with psystrike!" Anabel cheered as Espeon charged up multiple purple orbs and shot them at Pikachu just as he came into contact with Espeon, causing a big explosion and a good chunk of smoke to cover the battle field.
By the time the smoke cleared, Pikachu was standing perfectly unharmed while Espeon lay fainted on the ground.
"Espeon! Return my friend, and thank you for your performance." Anabel said as she looked back towards Ash and the rest of the crew.
"I guess I really was wrong in this situation, but please Ash, could you tell me what this is all about?" Anabel asked as Ash turned toward the rest of the crew, who nodded in approval.
"Sure Anabel. We'll tell you."
Meanwhile, Justin and Mew were running towards the Brown stadium, before slowing to a fast walk. As they were walking, Justin could hear plenty of nearby people talking and whispering, mainly it all consisted of the following;
"Hey isn't that the guy who murdered Pokémon to make that mew?"
"What a despicable person, how'd he even get in this tournament?"
"I bet he uses that mew the entire time. Wimp." Ok. THAT ONE was Drew and May, so it wasn't much of a surprise, but still it was painful to hear the rest of them. Justin sighed as he and mew made their way to the brown stadium area.
"Hey, blonde twerp!" A voice said, causing Justin and mew to turn and face James and Meowth.
"Oh hey guys, what's up?" Justin asked as he and mew walked up.
"Not much, just running the shop, but we had two questions. One, where are you heading? And two, didn't you say you had am Absol?" James quizzed as Meowth rubbed some glass Gengar figurines.
"Answer to one, I'm heading off to my round one match, answer number two, yes I have an Absol. I was planning on using her in the match. Come on out girl!" Justin said as he clicked on a luxury ball and an Absol materialized from the pokeball.
"Hey Justin, Mew. What's up?" Absol asked as she sat next to Justin.
"Not much girl, just showing you to James and Meowth." Justin said as he petted Absol's fur.
"Perfect! I was hoping you would. Do you have a moment? I would like to show you this." James said as he got under the table and brought back a little box. He opened it showing that it contained a black/white stone.
"Ya I have a moment, but what's this? Justin asked in confusion as he eyed the stone.
"It's something that we found, and we have our suspicions, and would like to test it on Absol, if you don't mind?" James quizzed as Justin looked towards Absol, who looked back with trusting eyes, knowing that he would make the right decision.
"Well, I..."
The crowd was screaming in excitement as the match. Was fixing to start.
"Ladies and gentleman! Welcome to the third round of the brown stage! This matchup features Juan of sootopolis city vs. Justin of Lanore Island! It will be a three on three battle with no substitutes! The last team with Pokémon standing will be proclaimed the winner, now let's give a round of applause for our trainers!" The announcer shouted in ecstasy as Justin and Juan walked onto separate sides of the stage.
"Hello there, I'm Juan, former gym leader of sootopolis city. I hope I can see a wonderful battle today against you and your Pokémon!" Juan stated as he grabbed a dive ball from his belt.
"Great to meet you! I'm Justin, resident of Lanore Island, I also hope to get a great battle here today, even if I lose -" Justin looked towards Absol's poke ball. "- and who knows, maybe this will prove to people that I'm not a bad guy." Justin responded as he grabbed the luxury ball and held it out as well.
"Let the battle begin!" The announcer shouted as Justin and Juan threw the poke balls towards the muddy stadium.
"Let's be legendary together, Absol!"
"Let's go Tentacruel!"
And with that the matchup began with Absol standing on a rock and Tentacruel floating slightly above the mud.
"Alright let's start this off with psycho cut Absol!" Justin screamed as Absol's horn began to glow a purple teal before shooting multiple purple arches at Tentacruel.
"Going for a type advantage move I see, very well, Tentacruel, block it with protect!" Juan retaliated as Tentacruel formed a blue shield around him causing the psycho cut to do nothing.
"Now Absol, use will-o-wisp!" Justin commanded as Absol shot purple flames at Tentacruel, who couldn't dodge nor protect from it.
"Now Tentacruel, use Toxic!" Juan retaliated as Tentacruel shot a giant toxic ball at Absol, badly poisoning her.
"Absol, use refresh!" Justin yelled as Absol began to glow a light green.
"Now let's show this Tentacruel your true power! Use psycho cut!" Justin commanded as Absol's horn once again gained a purple tint, before shooting purple glowing arches at Tentacruel once more.
"Protect Tentacruel!" Juan commanded as Tentacruel once again reflected the purple arches.
"Now use guillotine while it's defence is low!" Justin screamed as Absol's horn gained a iron sheen and hit Tentacruel head on, causing it to fall to the ground fainted.
"Return Tentacruel, and thank you for trying." Juan sympathized to his Pokémon as the crowd cheered and booed at Justin.
"That's a very powerful Absol, but we both know that's not it's full strength is it?" Juan quizzed as Justin looked back at him in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Justin asked as Juan smirked before pointing at Absol's leg.
"I see that stone on your Absol." Juan replied, causing Justin to smirk before he answered.
"I guess it shouldn't surprise me. You were a gym leader after all. Might as well use it. Who knows maybe this will show people that I'm not a bad person." Justin answered before looking at Absol, who smirked back.
"Well time for my next Pokémon, Gyrados, let's go!" Juan commanded as a Gyrados materialized and landed in the mud.
"I figure you can tell what's about to happen next. So I'll skip with explanations, Gyrados, MEGA EVOLVE! Juan said ecstatically as he clicked on a stone on his sleeve and Gyrados began to glow a rainbow color before evolving into a bigger more intimidating Gyrados. The crowd cheering in excitement.
"Well looks like it's time for us as well-" Justin began as he pulled a necklace out of his hoodie, revealing an amulet with a mega stone in it. "- Absol.. MEGA EVOLVE!" Justin yelled as he pressed the stone on his amulet causing the wristband on Absol to glow as Absol became enveloped in a rainbow light before her body began to grow wings and her horn grew much bigger. When the light cleared Absol looked completely different.
"Well folks, looks like we have here a mega battle! Which one will come out on top, and which will fall?" The announcer cheered as the crowd also began to cheer, now for both sides.
"We'll start off with a dragon dance!" Juan stated as Gyrados began to become surrounded by purple-orangish flames.
"We won't let you get off that easy! Now use will-o-wisp Absol!" Justin retaliated as Absol once again shot the purple flames, burning Juans Pokémon.
"Smart, but not smart enough, now use Waterfall Gyrados!" Juan commanded as Gyrados shot towards Absol with water under it before hitting Absol upwards and charging forward.
"Shadow claw!" Justin commanded as Absol's claws grew a good size with Dark Matter before slashing at Gyrados as it came into contact. Both Pokémon flew back, but not without Absol getting stuck in the mud.
"Now's our chance, Gyrados! Use hydro cannon!" Juan shouted as Gyrados shot the ultra water move at Absol.
"Absol use protect!" Justin commanded as Absol created a blue sheen, protecting it from the mega attack. By this point Absol was able to get out of the mud.
"Now use guillotine while it can't move!" Justin commanded as Absols horn once again gained a silver sheen, before it shot towards Gyrados, hitting it spot on.
"Gyrados! Return my friend, you did excellent." Juan said as he looked back at Justin.
"Well it looks as if your Absol's quite powerful my boy. Guess I only have once choice at this point. Go Kingdra!" Juan stated as Kingdra materialize from its pokeball and stared down Absol.
"Thank you very much Juan, but I think it's high time we wrap this up! Let's finish this with Guillotine Absol!" Justin commanded as Absol rushed Kingdra once again.
"We won't let you that easily, take it down with HydroPump!" Juan retaliated as Kingdra shot the powerful water attack at Absol as she rushed it, but it wasn't enough to stop Absol as she hit head on, causing Kingdra to drop fainted.
"Unbelievable folks! Justin has one the first match with just his Absol! And it can mega evolve too! This kid will go far folks!" The announcer shouted as the crowd now fully cheered for Justin victory. Absol ran up next to him and he began to pet Absol as he looked back up towards the crowd and grinned, before leaving.
Up in the crowd someone else had watched the entire match, while holding a luxury ball of their own.
"That Absol looks strong, but I beg Alisha could beat it!"
-Later that night -
The man in black walked down an alleyway, looking around seeing that No One was there, and sighed while looking at his holograph.
"Are you Jack Franklin?" A deep voice said from the darkness. Jack looked around, but saw no one.
"It's just Franklin, what do you want?" Franklin said as he continued to search for the voice.
"What I want is none of your concern. However. I do have a job for you." The voice said as a stack of money slid down the alley. Franklin picked it up and counted it before looking back.
"I'm listening..."
