I kept my powers well-hidden, but one day, they had to find out.
It was a normal day: clear skies, a gentle breeze. Another great day in Alola. Without any warning, the sky turned black, and thunder rang out.
"What's going on?" I asked to no one in particular.
"He's found us," Baron growled.
"I thought you'd dealt with him?" Chloe asked.
"No," Baron answered. "I only managed to drive him away."
"Who?" I demanded. "Who's found us?"
"Arrostig," Baron stated. "He attacked me when the others were eggs, as they were hatching."
"I've never heard of that Pokemon before," I said, confused.
"That's because he's the only of his kind," Baron answered. "Here he comes!"
Arrostig revealed himself. He was a long, grey-colored dragon, almost like a Rayquaza without any "fins" on his body, and a very wide head. He slammed the ground and sent the others flying away, leaving only me and a Flareon with him.
"So," Arrostig's voice boomed out, "they thought that they could hide behind friends? Pathetic."
The Flareon took a few steps back, creating a heat wave from its nervousness.
Arrostig gave off a haughty laugh. "This heat has nothing on me! I'm Dragon-Electric type, idiot!"
I thought up a plan. "In that case… Special delivery!" I shouted, shooting off a Moonblast.
It was a direct hit, but nothing happened. He laughed again. "Did I forget to mention that my ability renders the Fairy type useless?"
He shifted his gaze and a flame started to collect in his mouth. I followed his gaze to find a shiny Eevee sleeping underneath a tree.
"So, Alan," Arrostig growled, "we meet again. Now to end you for good," he added, shooting a Dragon Breath at the Eevee, just as it was waking up.
"NO!" I screamed. Everything suddenly moved in slow motion. I turned into Jolteon and sped toward the Eevee, grabbing him just in time and changing back before anyone noticed.
"You okay, little guy?" I asked him.
"Yes, thank you. I'm Lego," he answered.
"Nice to meet you Lego, I'm Tenkai. Now, get to safety!"
"You don't have to tell me twice!" he exclaimed, bolting out.
At the same time, something was falling back down. It was Baron and the crew!
They landed hard but unfazed. Baron shouted, "My friends and I are back to destroy you once and for all!"
Baron started glowing and a shell formed around him. "What's going on?" he asked.
"You're mega evolving!" Chloe cheered as the shell faded, revealing Baron's Mega form.
My jaw dropped. I had heard of mega-evolution, but I had never thought it would be this epic. Before I knew, my drool had created a flood. The Flareon snapped me into reality, struggling to keep from drowning, letting out a cry for help.
"Sorry!" I said, creating a small island with Rock Throw. We all swam on.
Arrostig gave off another haughty laugh. "Finally, all of you are in one place," he said, charging a thunderbolt and launching it at us.
Time slowed again. I changed into Espeon and cast a protective field just in time, forgetting to change back. They all noticed me.
Baron chuckled. "Good. Now to end this," he growled, sucking up all of the water. Chloe readied a metronome. Alan charged a dark pulse.
"Fools," Arrostig laughed. "You will never-"
"NOW!" Baron shouted. I dropped the field and everyone launched their attacks. They all hit, sending Arrostig to the ground, where he landed with a thud. Baron threw a Pokéball, catching him. "I shall name him Arrogantstig," he added, smirking.
Believe it or not, the user who played that Flareon became (and still is) my best friend.
It's been over 3 years since that day as of me writing these notes... Still can't believe this is how we met.
