"It's finally time," Tyson said, standing afar from Korrina. He held one capsule in his hand tightly as his aunt smiled.
"Make sure to give me a good old fashion rumble!" Korrina exclaimed.
"You bet!" Tyson replied, putting a thumbs up!
"This will be a three on three Pokemon battle between Tyson and Korrina! Only the challenger may substitute his Pokemon! Korrina, choose your first Pokemon!"
"No problem! Machoke, roll with the punches!" Korrina called, releasing her ripped Fighting Type.
"Sylveon, dazzle them!" Tyson tossed one of his Poke Balls into the air and released his pink Eeveelution. Sylveon held her head high before growling in a pounce stance.
"This will be a battle between Sylveon and Machoke! Begin!"
"Shoot a Fairy Wind!"
Sylveon leaped into the air and charged up a small piece of pink energy in her mouth. Rearing her head forward, the pink energy stretched out into an energy blast towards the Hoenn Pokemon. Machoke stood still as the super effective move smashed into him. The Superpower Pokemon stood with a slight grin on his face, mostly because of the super effective move actually doing a decent amount of damage.
"Got to do better than that, nephew!" Korrina announced, pointing at the hatted boy. "Now fire a Rock Tomb!"
Machoke lifted his arms as four huge boulders circled him. The Superpower Pokemon threw his arms forward as the rocks flew in that direction. Sylveon began to tremble, but shook her head and barked. Her trainer smiled and threw his hand into the air.
"Dodge those boulders and then use Moonblast!" Tyson countered, not
wanting his aunt to get the upperhand.
The Fairy Type nodded and ran towards the flying rocks. She jumped and moved out the way of the first three boulders before looking up at the last. With a smirk, Sylveon took a huge leap in the air and jumped on and quickly off the rock. As the boulder broke into multiple pieces, Sylveon opened her mouth as a white orb was channeled with a pink aura around it. With a swift toss of her neck, the Eeveelution fired the super effective attack at the muscular Pokemon.
"Punch it back with Power-Up Punch!"
Machoke pivoted his arm as he waited patiently for the orb to fly towards him. Once the sphere was in range, the fighting type's fist collided with the attack. Tyson crossed his arms, thinking Machoke would be taken out of the fairy attack. However, the spectators and opponent, other than Gurkinn, Leon, and Korrina, were shocked to see the attack fly off of Machoke's fist into the stunned Sylveon. The Fairy Type rolled on the battlefield before regaining her balance and growling at Machoke.
"Retaliate with Quick Attack!"
The Fairy Type ran in a circle before jetting forward. A trail of brilliant white light was left as Machoke crossed his arms.
"Wait till Sylveon gets close to use Karate Chop!"
Machoke pivoted his feet and lifted his arm high into the air. Sylveon continued her running with the Superpower Pokemon preparing to strike.
"Use Shadow Ball!" Tyson commanded, which shocked everyone.
Sylveon opened her mouth as a small orb was created. It grew into fruition as the Eeveelution shot it in front of her and Machoke. A huge cloud was created with Machoke getting tied by white and pink ribbons. With the smoke clearing, Sylveon was shown with her ribbons wrapped around the fighting type's arms.
"Swing Machoke around, then slam him into a wall!"
The Fairy type roared and swung her head in a circle, which was mimicked by the captured Pokemon. Shooting her head forward, Sylveon tossed Machoke into a wall next to his trainer. Creating a huge dent, the fighting type pulled himself out and cracked his knuckles.
"Return the favor with Power-Up Punch!"
Machoke stretched out one of his arms and began stretch. Smirking, he pulled it back and ran forward. What surprised Tyson was that Machoke ran faster, even though he wasn't the slimmest of Pokemon.
"Use Protect!"
Switching to the defenses, the Fairy type completed several backflips to expand the space between her and her opponent. A huge circular bubble was created surrounding Sylveon. Machoke continued his chase as he smashed into it. Cracks became to appear around the shield as it ultimately cracked.
"Now kick Sylveon with Low Sweep!" Korrina shouted, making Tyson's brain scramble. A sharp click came in his mind as he shot a fist forward.
"Trip Machoke and follow up with a barrel roll!"
Machoke ran his foot on the ground, preparing to send the Eeveelution flying. Sylveon recovered from the unexpected break of her shield and moved her ribbons out. Once Machoke planted his foot and lifted the other, the Fairy type lifted the fighting type's kicking leg up and rolled under him. The spectators looked in awe as Machoke began to fall as Sylveon stopped her rolling and slid on her back.
"Now blast Machoke with Moonblast!"
Sylveon opened her mouth as another pink sphere. Machoke slightly turned his head as he fell to the ground to see the orb grow in size. Aiming at the Superpower's back, Sylveon spat the circle of energy at its target. Machoke was propelled into the wall as he fell on his back, eyes with swirls.
"Machoke's unable to battle, the winner is Sylveon! Korrina, choose your next Pokemon!"
"That's how you start, Tyson!" Alexis cheered, shooting her arms in the air. Mikey, who was watching in the Lucario head, grinned. Umbreon sat next to the Kalos trainer and looked up.
"He's got great instincts, huh?" Umbreon questioned his trainer. Mikey chuckled as he twirled a Poke Ball in his hands.
"Not just great, superb," Mikey corrected, seeing his sister withdraw her fainted Pokemon.
"Mienfoo, roll with the punches!" Korrina's second Pokemon was released from her capsule and landed gracefully on the floor. She got into a karate stance while Sylveon crouched down.
"This will be a battle between Sylveon and Mienfoo! Begin!"
"Start off with Swift!" Korrina spat out, gaining the first move.
Mienfoo pushed her palms out as a group of stars circled around. Pushing her hands down, the storm of stars shot towards the Kalos Pokemon.
"Shield yourself with Protect, then use Quick Attack!"
Sylveon created another bubble field, which held its own against the flurry of stars. Once the assault was finished, the shield came down. Sylveon shot off her legs with a powerful pounce and ran forward at fast speeds, leaving a trail of white light behind.
"Counter with a Force Palm and Quick Attack!"
The Martial Arts Pokemon dashed forward at a faster pace than her opponent. Extending her palm, Mienfoo was prepared to strike the Fairy type. Biting his lip, Tyson threw his arm out to the side.
"Run away from Mienfoo and use Shadow Ball as an escape!" Tyson countered, knowing Sylveon couldn't match up to Mienfoo's speed.
Sylveon made a swift turn and ran away from Mienfoo. The fighting type continued her chase and began to pick up her speed. Sylveon continued to be chased by Mienfoo as she charge ld charged up another orb of darkness. Once it reached a decent size, Sylveon turned around and shot it down. The ball went through Mienfoo, but it created a huge dust cloud once it made contact with the ground. Suddenly, Korrina knew her nephew's plan pushed her arm out.
"Run out of there, Mienfoo!"
Once the command was heard, the fighting type backflipped out of the cloud. Shocking the spectators, Sylveon's ribbons shot up and followed Mienfoo. The Martial Arts Pokemon dashed away from the pink ribbons while her trainer smirked.
"You think you outsmarted me?" Tyson asked.
"What else could you be planning?" Korrina questioned, to which Tyson chuckled.
"You alway need a backup plan! Sylveon, fly towards Mienfoo and blast her with Moonblast!"
Sylveon's ribbons planted in front of Mienfoo. Looking up, Mienfoo saw Sylveon flying up above her as a pink sphere was between her jaws. The fighting type prepared to get away, but her legs were wrapped by the ribbons. Mienfoo was shot towards Sylveon and blasted by the super effective move. She was thrown back to the ground as Tyson decided to continue the pressure.
"End Mienfoo with Quick Attack!"
Sylveon leaned down and descended at a fast speed. A trail if white light was left behind as Mienfoo was struggling to get up.
"Retaliate with Hi Jump Kick!" Korrina retorted, shocking her nephew.
Mienfoo pushed her palms on the ground and extended her knee. Squinting her eyes, the Martial Arts Pokemon shot off the ground and smashed her knee onto Sylveon's chin. The Interwing Pokemon flew into the ceiling and smashed hard on the ground. Sylveon's eyes were shut, which signaled her defeat.
"Sylveon is unable to battle, the winner is Mienfoo! Tyson, choose your next Pokemon!"
"Nice job, girl," Tyson congratulated, returning the Eeveelution back to her capsule. Excitedly, the hatted boy snatched another capsule from his belt and tossed it into the sky. "It's fighting time, Gabite!"
Once the sphere reached its apex, the dual type landed on the battlefield. Gabite eagerly slashed his claws and went into a pounce stance. Mikey had his eyes glued to the Land Shark Pokemon.
"It's impressive that Tyson was able to raise a dragon type so early in his journey," Umbreon stated. He looked at his trainer for a response, but saw Mikey scratching his blonde scruff on his chin.
"Gabite, huh?" he asked, which confused Umbreon. "Let's see what you two got."
"This will be a battle between Gabite and Mienfoo, begin!"
"Stir up a Sandstorm and then use Dig!"
Gabite roared as a twister of sand swirled around him. The sand flew around the field as Mienfoo covered eyes eyes. Once they got adjusted, she looked around for the dual type.
"Raise your power with Mediate!" Koreans shouted quickly, trying to avoid getting sand in her mouth.
Mienfoo clasped her hands as her body gained a light red aura. Tyson smirked as he threw his hand out.
"Stop her, Gabite!"
Mienfoo was thrown into the air as Gabite resurfaced below her. Koreans growled as she tightened her Mega Glove.
"Smash Gabite with Force Palm!"
"Counter with Rock Tomb!"
Mienfoo descended back down, palm extended. Prepared to hit Gabite, her eyes opened wide as huge blocks were created in front of her. The Martial Arts Pokemon regained her focus and took out every boulder. Landing gracefully, Mienfoo looked around once again for her opponent.
"Blast her with Dragon Rage!"
Gabite appeared from behind his opponent and opened his mouth. His stomach glowed blue as energy began to swirl around his mouth. Korrina finally spotted the dual type and tried to warn her Pokemon.
"Mienfoo, behind you!" Korrina called, but to no avail. Gabite shot his head forward as the blast swallowed Mienfoo whole. The Martial Arts Pokemon dropped to the ground as the sandstorm subsided.
"Mienfoo is unable to battle, the winner is Gabite! Korrina, choose your final Pokemon!"
"That was great strategy using the Sandstorm to your advantage," Korrina complemented.
"Yeah, well the real credit goes to Gabite," Tyson responded, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.
"I need to see more," Mikey said, watching Korrina return Mienfoo. "There's more that Gabite can do."
"Lucario, show them our bond!" Korrina called, releasing the Aura Pokemon. Korrina's Lucario bowed to his opponents, to which Gabite just continued to slice his arms.
"I need a good fight!" Gabite shouted, making Lucario nod.
"This will be a battle between Gabite and Lucario, begin!"
"Quickly, chuck an Aura Sphere!"
Lucario opened one palm as a blue sphere of energy was created. He locked eyes with Gabite for a quick second before he threw the ball.
"Counter with a running Dragon Claw!"
Gabite's claws glowed neon as he started to run towards the orb. Grinning, he cut the sphere in fourths as he continued to make his way towards Lucario.
"Retaliate with an Metal Claw assault!"
The Aura Pokemon roared as three metal claws shot out of his hands. Lucario then dashed forward to meet Gabite. In a flash, both Pokemon were swinging their sharp weapons to only be blocked by the other.
"Hold Lucario in place, then fire a Dragon Rage!"
The Cave Pokemon lowered his guard and held Lucario's hands out. Lucario growled, seeing his opponent's stomach glow blue. More blue energy swirled around the dual type's face as the blast swallowed Lucario. Gabite immediately let go of Lucario to see him fly backwards.
"Regain your balance with Metal Claw, then toss a Bone Rush!"
Lucario shot another trio of metal claws from his hand. He bent over the ground and slashed his claws to lower to speed. Once his feet were safely on the ground, he created a bone staff and tossed it in towards Gabite.
"Dodge with Dig!"
Gabite hurriedly slashed his claws on the ground. As the staff continued to fly forward, the dual type was already underground. The staff hit the wall besides Tyson, who threw his hand up.
"Now come back up with Take Down!"
A purple fin was seen on the battlefield, which moved towards Lucario. The Aura Pokemon got into another karate stance as Gabite finally resurfaced.
"Power-Up Punch as an uppercut!"
Gabite's attack was held to a stop as he felt a strong hit under his chin. With a loud roar, Lucario pushed his entire body up to stand tall. Gabite was thrown into the air and prepared to hit the ceiling, but turned around and kicked off it.
"Sandstorm, Gabite!"
Another huge flurry of sand filled the battlefield, to Korrina's annoyance. Lucario, however, stood tall in the storm, awaiting another command.
"Take Gabite out the ground with Blaze Kick!"
Lucario lifted his foot of the ground as flames danced around it. Once the flames grew to a certain point, the jackal slammed his foot on the ground. The battlefield had steam coming out, which spat out a sole Gabite. Grinning, Korrina pushed a fist out.
"End this with an Aura Sphere!"
Lucario lifted his paw, which created an enlarging blue orb. Gabite laid out on the ground, unresponsive. Lucario took a huge leap in the air and prepared to slam the sphere on the Cave Pokemon. A smile crept on Tyson's face as he turned his hat backwards.
"Cancel it with Sand Tomb!"
The Cave Pokemon pushed himself off the ground just in time as Lucario missed. The Aura Pokemon was still using his move as Gabite slammed his claws on the ground, creating a tiny twister around Lucario. Lucario cried in pain while Gabite continued his assault.
"Shoot a Dragon Pulse!" Korrina barked, shocking Tyson and Gabite.
Lucario opened his mouth, which had pink energy between his jaws. Shooting his head forward, the energy blast smashed into the dual type. Gabite couldn't stand his ground and was thrown into the wall. Gabite remained in his dent, with swirls in his eyes.
"Gabite is unable to battle, the winner is Lucario! Tyson, choose your final Pokemon!"
"Gabite, you sealed us the win," Tyson said. Gabite smiled faintly, then bit his trainer's side. Tyson returned Gabite to his capsule before grabbing one more. He enlarged it before throwing it forward. "Lucario, let's end this buddy!"
Once the sphere reached its apex, Tyson's Lucario stood proudly on the field. Tyson walked up to his Pokemon and tied the pouch that was on Lucario the day they met around his neck. Lucario nodded to Tyson, who walked back to his spot. The sandstorm finally ended again as the duo eyed each other.
"This will be a battle between the Lucario duo! Whichever one wins will decide the match! Begin!"
"Start off with Power Up Punch!"
Korrina's Lucario sprinted forward with an arm held back. Surprisingly, the younger duo stood unfazed as Tyson gripped his Mega Bracelet arm.
"Wait with Bone Rush, Lucario," Tyson ordered calmly.
The younger Lucario stretched out his arms and opened his hands. Two bone staffs formed between his fingers as he gripped both. Korrina's Lucario then took one huge leap into the air and prepared to descended down. However, a sand twister spun around him as he fell to his knees.
"Now, Lucario!"
Lucario twirled his two staffs in his hands as he repeatedly smack his opponent. The twister continued to twirl around the oldest while he got smacked once more.
"Stop him with Blaze Kick!"
The attacked Lucario lifted his foot gently off the ground. Flames engulfed the foot as its owner swing it at the youngest. Tyson's Lucario rolled back and picked himself up, wiping his face where his opponent kicked him. The sand twister dropped to the ground as Korrina's Aura Pokemon grinned.
"Use Aura Sphere!"
The oldest charged another blue sphere in his hand. Pivoting his body first, the jackal chucked the ball towards the other Aura Pokemon.
"Dodge with Quick Attack, then keep going!"
With a swift move, the blue orb missed its target. The crowd watched aimlessly and searched for the attacking Pokemon. Shocking the older, he was pushed back by a hard hit in his gut.
"Give him a taste of his own lesson with Dragon Pulse!"
Tyson's Lucario looked up to see his opponent charge a blast of pink energy. The youngest was about to run away, but he was grabbed by the more experienced jackal. The pink blast eventually hit Lucario as he was pushed farther into the ground.
"Take Lucario's balance with Metal Claw, then use Aura Sphere!" Tyson countered.
Reaching his arms out, the weakened Pokemon shot three metal claws from his hand. The item holder swung his arms, which made the standing Pokemon fall. Snatching one arm back, Lucario charged a blue sphere and slammed it on the falling jackal's stomach. Both Pokemon were tossed back as the duo breathed heavily.
"Turn up the heat with Blaze Kick!" Tyson shouted, trying to keep the pressure.
His jackal ran forward at a steady pace. One foot had fire around it as he jumped in his opponent's direction.
"Pin him down with Bone Rush, then fire another Dragon Pulse!"
The oldest gripped his newly created bone staffs and waited. Once the fire was in his range, Korrina's jackal pushed his opponent back down with the staffs. Lucario prepared to charge up another blast.
"Now use Metal Sound, Lucario!"
The pinned Pokemon rubbed his spikes and released a loud sound. The taller Lucario stopped his attack and pressed his hands on his ears.
"Uppercut with Power Up Punch!"
Tyson's Lucario shot an arm up and smashed it into his opponent's chin. The oldest was thrown back and gripped his arm in pain. Tyson smiled and pointed a finger in the air.
"Now slam Lucario with Bone Rush!"
The youngest reached his arm in the air and grabbed the light blue staff. Lucario jumped into the air and twirled the staff while falling down. Korrina finished skating around and punched repeatedly in the air.
"We're not losing like this! Use Blaze Kick!"
The grounded Pokemon slowly lifted his body off the ground. Sitting on his rear, the oldest's foot caught fire fast. Growling, Lucario lifted his foot off the ground just in time as the staff was right on his nose. Tyson's Lucario stopped his attack as he was thrown backwards. Both dual types picked themselves up, with their trainer gripping their Mega Items.
"Let's turn this up, Tyson!" Korrina exclaimed. Tyson nodded as he watched his aunt touch her Key Stone. "Beyond Evolution, Mega Evolve!"
The process commenced as the lines connected the duo. Emerging from his bubble, Korrina's Lucario stood in his Mega Form.
"Lucario, are you ready?" Tyson questioned.
"Whenever you are!" Lucario responded, which made Tyson nod.
"Let's do this! Fuse our hearts; Beyond Evolution, Mega Evolve!" Tyson touched his keystone as the lines began to connect. The younger duo closed their eyes, as both felt each other's strength. Tyson felt and saw Riolu's past. He saw Heather, Lucario Village, Brett and Beedrill, Genez grunts freezing or killing villagers. "We will not lose!" Shooting both eyes open, Tyson put his arm down as his Lucario stood in his Mega Form.
"This will now be a battle between the Mega Lucario duo, begin!"
"Aura Sphere barrage!" Tyson ordered.
His Lucario lifted both hands as two large spheres appeared. Smirking, he ran forward with both arms extended.
"Get Lucario off balance with Bone Rush , then strike with Blaze Kick!"
The oldest grabbed a bone staff and charged forward. While running, his foot was swallowed in harsh orange and red flames. Tyson's mind raced until he picked out a counterattack.
"Protect yourself with Metal Claw!"
Once he bursts his orbs, Lucario shot three metal claws from his hands. The item holder blocked the staff with one hand and the kick with another.
"Shoot a Dragon Pulse!"
Wasting no time, the oldest Lucario opened his mouth, which glowed pink. Opening his eyes wide, Tyson's Lucario braced himself for the supercharged strike. The youngest jackal slid back in front of his trainer, who checked to make sure his Pokemon was ok.
"Strike back with Metal Sound and Quick Attack!"
Lucario scratched his spikes and released a loud piercing cry. The opposing Lucario grinned his teeth and put his hands over his ears. Seeing his opponent in a state of shock, Lucario ran around in a circle at fast speeds.
"Now's the time for Blaze Kick, Lucario!" Tyson commanded, pushing his arm in the sky.
Still shouting the screeching cry, Lucario continued to run in a circle. This time, his foot had fire twirling around it. Tyson's Lucario took a huge leap and struck his opponent with the super effective move.
"Retaliate with Close Combat!" Korrina screamed, which frightened Tyson.
The oldest Pokemon on the field raced forward once more and started rapidly punching Lucario. Blows to the body with either his hands or feet, Korrina's Lucario struck the younger jackal. Tyson growled, which made his aunt chuckle.
"Looks like it's endgame," Umbreon stated, prepared to walk away. Mikey laughed, which confused the dark type. "Mikey, what's so funny?"
"The way you give up," he answered. "Just from one or one hundred super effective attacks doesn't decide the battle."
"What does then?" Umbreon asked.
"The sacred bond between trainer and Pokemon."
"Lucario, twirl a Bone Rush!"
While the item holder was getting bombarded by hard strikes, he created a single blue staff. Taking a chance, the youngest Aura Pokemon twirled the staff in front of him. Not only was some attacks deflected, the strength of the power pushed Korrina's Lucario back. Both dual types stood far away from one another, panting and exhausted.
"Nephew, you've proven to be a great battler," Korrina complemented.
"Ditto!" Tyson responded with a grin.
"Let's end this excellent battle!"
"You read my mind!" Tyson shot back. The Lucario duo bowed to each other out of respect and looked at their trainer's last command.
"Aura Sphere!" The family members cried out, releasing their excitement.
Both Pokemon created the same size energy ball with both hands. Pivoting their bodies, the Aura duo prepared their last move. In a flash, both Pokemon disappeared, then reappeared in the middle of the battlefield. It was a clash between both Aura Spheres as the older Lucario slowly got the upper hand.
"Lucario, give it your all!" Tyson cheered. "There's no way you're going down!"
In Lucario's mind was the invasion of Lucario village. The fire, killings, kidnapping, Brett, Heather. About to break down, Lucario then saw his meeting with Tyson, their battles, Bolt and Alexis' teams, his team.
"I'm not fighting for me," he said to himself. "I'm fighting for my friends, Lucario Village, and Tyson!"
That last cry made Lucario step closer towards his foe. Korrina's Lucario was shocked by the sudden growth of power and couldn't keep up. The youngest jackal broke through the oldest's sphere. Tyson's Lucario slammed his blue ball on his opponent's stomach as his opponent dropped to the ground. The dropped Aura Pokemon was transformed out of his Mega Form, while the standing Lucario keep his form intact.
"Korrina's Lucario is unable to battle, the winner is Tyson's Lucario! That means Tyson is victorious!"
The standing Lucario stopped his Mega Form and fell over. Luckily, Tyson was there to catch his Pokemon.
"You were amazing out there," Tyson said, holding his Pokemon up.
"It was all thanks to you," Lucario replied, smiling a bit. Korrina and her Lucario walked over to the winners and extended their hands. Both sides accepted as Korrina handed her nephew the small orange piece of metal.
"You earned it," she said with a smile. The family members hugged as Mikey and Umbreon looked down at then.
"Come on, Umbreon, we have work to do," Mikey said, putting his hood back on. The Eeveelution nodded and followed his trainer.

"The next place you should go to is the Coumarine Gym for your fourth gym badge," Gurkinn said. The trio nodded as Alexis moved forward.
"That's also where the Wallace Cup takes place!"
"I expect you to do well, Alexis!" Korrina exclaimed.
The trio bowed before they made their way out of Shalour City, Tyson dialed a number on his Pokegear.
"Hello! It's been a while, Tyson!"
"Professor, I wanted to let you know I won my third badge."
"Oh yes, I'm well aware. I watched the battle. I'm impressed you used Mega Evolution on your first turn. I wanted to know if I could study Lucario for my research?"
"Sure, hold on Professor," Tyson said. The hatred boy released his Lucario. "Hey, I wanted to let you know you're going to stay at Sycamore's for a while."
The jackal nodded and waited to be returned until Tyson whispered something in his ear.
"If I get any information on Heather, you'll be the first to know." Lucario smiled as he was zapped back into his capsule.
"Alright, Sycamore. Make sure to continue his training for me!" Tyson said.
"No problem! Just keep doing your best!" the professor replied. The man hung up as Tyson looked at his friends.
"Let's get to the Pokemon Center and then make our move," the badge collector suggested.
"Sounds like a plan!" Alexis agreed. The Vanville duo smiled as they walked to the Center, Bolt lagging behind.
Well, that's the end of the Shalour Arc! Tyson gets his third badge, now 5 more to go!
