Welcome back everyone! I'm the writer, Blaze Falcon, here to give you a short, but important chapter of PKL. Last time, Tyson had a battle with Ramos, with Monferno evolving to earn his trainer the Plant Badge!
potat lasaro: I got the idea of Ramos' strategy from the anime, then boosted his Pokemon up. And Infernape does care, to a certain point. I'm glad you enjoyed the battle, and I'm trying to space out every Pokemon on Tyson's team, since he will be getting three more Pokemon. And Monferno was originally going to win because of Blaze, but changed it due to I said his ability was Iron Fist. For Molly, she's El Torro's OC, which he let me use for the story.
ShadowDragon9000: Yes, mission accomplished! Lol, but I'm glad the battle was enjoyable for you. Infernape is a great addition to Tyson's team.
MysticBeatz21: I know, but I'm using anime logic. And nice long pun there!
Warrior of Hope: Sweet! I'm happy you like Infernape's personality. I got it from Ash's Infernape, but decided to do the opposite. And Molly and Alexis are great characters indeed!
El Torro: Infernape will always be the cocky, but lovable bastard of the group. And I'm glad I added Frogadier's comment there, it cracked me up too! And the Wallace Cup winner will be revealed in 43.
FireNinja59: Thanks, I'm glad you like the story! And thanks for telling me about missing Cranidos! I guarantee that Cranidos wouldn't have been on the profile unless I checked that, lol.
Staravia8600: Wow, thanks for your kind words!

Episode 40: Wallace Cup Dance
"I don't want a tuxedo!" Tyson yelled, being dragged by his mother and Frogadier.
"You will look decent for the dance and contest!" Kira shot back, making her son pout and Frogadier chuckle. Molly, Dewott, Charizard, Alexis, and Bolt stood laughing at the family quarrel.
"Well, I'm going to do some training," Bolt said, releasing his Luxio and Manectric.
"Why don't I come along?" Molly asked. Bolt shrugged his shoulders as the duo began to walk away. Molly stopped to run back to Alexis.
"Let's meet up at the Pokemon Center in an hour and a half," Molly started. "I have something to talk to you about."
Before Alexis could process the statement, Molly already left with Bolt. Smiling, she released her Vaporeon.
"Let's do some training," Alexis suggested. Her water type nodded as they walked to the Pokemon Center.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower! Dewott, lead the charge with Aerial Ace!" Molly shouted, throwing her hand out.
Dewott grabbed her scalchops and flew into the air. Her teammate shot his head forward, releasing a strong breath of red and yellow flames behind the Unova Pokemon.
"Luxio, take Dewott out the sky with Swift! Then Manectric, counter the flames with Thunderbolt!" Bolt countered, shooting a punch.
Luxio jumped off the ground and swung his tail, shooting a storm of stars at the otter. Meanwhile, Manectric charged up his attack as sparks of voltage formed around his fur.
"Take the stars out with Razor Shell!"
Dewott's scalchops glowed blue and shot up to a sharp point as she flew towards the stars. With every slash of her swords, the stars exploded behind her. Doing consecutive somersaults, Dewott continued to take out ever star. Bolt became caught up in Dewott's brilliance as Manectric fired his blast.
"Dewott, go in between with Protect!"
Dewott moved over and held her scalchops with her entire hands. A bubble shield was created around the castor as the Thunderbolt collided with the bubble. Charizard's fire then went around the bubble shield and fought with the electricity.
"Luxio, help Manectric out with your own Thunderbolt!" Bolt commanded.
Luxio roared as he fired his own yellow stream of voltage at Dewott. The two Thunderbolts were able to push both Charizard's flames and Dewott back. Dewott began to roar as Molly did too. Bolt look on in confusion as the duo reopened their eyes as both were glowing a stronger Amber shade. Dewott stopped her shield as a huge geyser of water surrounded her.
"What the hell?" Bolt asked himself, feeling the sudden surge of power from Dewott. "This….power is….unbelievable!"
"Use Hydro Pump!"
Dewott roared once more as she pushed her hands out forward. A huge blast of dark blue water shot towards the combined electricity. The water immediately destroyed the combined voltage as sent Bolt's Pokemon flying back. The male trainer looked at his injured Pokemon in shock while Molly shook her head vigorously.
"Dewott, stop!" Molly cried. Dewott continued to roar until she was struck in her back by Charizard. Bolt returned both his Pokemon and ran to the badge collector. The geyser of water dropped down as Charizard carried the tired Pokemon to her trainer.
"Molly, what was that," Bolt questioned. Molly looked at the electric specialist with a guiltily expression on her face.
"I have no idea."

"So I was thinking about using Vaporeon for the appeal round, then Buneary for the semifinals, and Hawlucha would bring it home," Alexis explained to her group, who nodded in response. "Great! Now let's-" the brunette was interrupted by the landing of a flying squirrel on her head.
"That's an Emolga," Braixen said. Hawlucha instantly eyed the dual type carefully before gliding over to his trainer.
"Alexis, that's the same Emolga that you and Bolt fought over."
"That's impossible!" Alexis shouted, holding the Unova Pokemon in her hands. "Bolt and I gave Emolga to Zoey!"
"Hey Alexis!" a girl voice called. The coordinator and her ground turned to see Zoey and Daryl walk towards Alexis.
Daryl was in his same doctors coat and red sweater with brown pants. Zoey however, wore a green singlet with a yellow ribbon on it. She had short denim shorts and black runners on her face. She had a long yellow purse strapped to her side and a pink hair clip in her cerulean hair.
"It's been awhile, Alexis," Daryl started, bowing to the brunette. "Vaporeon," the water type curtsied to her former owner's acknowledgement. "And Hawlucha." The Wrestling Pokemon nodded. Emolga flew off Alexis' head and landed on Zoey's shoulder.
"Yeah! Why are you guys here?" Alexis inquired. Zoey had a huge grin as she walked closer to the teen.
"We saw that you were competing in the Wallace Cup, and I wanted to watch you in person!" Zoey answered. Emolga nodded in agreement.
"That's so sweet of you guys!" Alexis replied, getting a smile from Zoey and Daryl.
"Hawlucha, we have some great news for you, too!" Zoey said, walking to the dual type. "Your gang wishes you the best of luck and would like to spar whenever you get the chance!"
Hawlucha had a slight smile on his face to the news of his comrades. Bolt and Molly then walked into the room, which prompted Alexis to act.
"You guys remember Bolt," the electric trainee waved. "And this is our friend, Molly. She's competing in the Wallace Cup too."
Daryl looked and Bolt and Molly, then gave Bolt a nod. He tapped Zoey on her shoulder as he looked back up to Alexis. "Zoey and I will go catching up with Bolt and meet Tyson along the way. See you at the dance!" Daryl rushed Zoey out the room and was followed by Bolt. Alexis was confused at what just happened, but put her focus on her friend.
"Hey, how was training?" Alexis inquired. The brunette waited for Molly to respond, but stopped once she saw Molly's face. "What happened?"
"It happened," Molly responded. "Again."
"What happened again?" Alexis asked once more. Molly reached towards her belt and grabbed a Poke Ball. The sphere laid in her hand as Alexis remained confused.
"This is Dewott's Poke Ball," Molly said. "During my gym battle with Korrina, she went through this, weird transformation."
"What type of transformation?"
"Dewott and I, began to mimic each other, then a huge geyser of water swallowed her and supercharged her power," Molly explained. "I know it's crazy, but you have to trust me. That was the only way I was able to beat Korrina. This sudden change, it almost mimics the strength of Mega Evolution."
Alexis, who had seen Mega Evolution four times in her life, knows the strength of it. First, you require a keystone, the correct Mega Stone, and most importantly, a strong bond with said Pokemon. However, if Molly said was true, what was this mysterious change in her Dewott? Alexis even saw Molly' fear of this power, which bothered her.
"I know Dewott wants to be in the contest, but I don't know if I could stop it if it happens again," Molly explained. The brunette nodded before a smile came on her face.
"We'll figure it out during the contest!" Alexis proclaimed, getting a confused expression from Molly. "When we fight during the contest, we have to make sure to give it our all. If we don't, we might not be closer to the solution."
Molly nodded at her friend before releasing Dewott and Charizard from their capsules.
"No matter what, we'll fight during the Wallace Cup!" Molly said. Alexis nodded as her team walked next to their trainer.
"It's a promise!"

"This is so tight!" Tyson complained, trying to give his neck some air. He had a black dress jacket over a white dress shirt. His lower half had brown khakis with black slacks. Tyson continued to shift his black tie around, with Frogadier and Bolt chuckling.
"Geez, calm down," Frogadier said, patting his trainer on his back. He stopped and knocked Tyson on his head, seeing Alexis and Molly walking towards them. Alexis wore her same cerulean dress as Molly had a neat ruby colored dress, as Charizard and Dewott stood by Molly, and Vaporeon and Hawlucha by Alexis.
"Wow! You two look great!" Tyson complemented. The duo of girls bowed in gratitude.
"It's been a long while," a male voice said, making the group turn to see Lucas in his green and orange tux combo and had Gallade and a Pokemon familiar to Roselia, expect with white hair, a green cape, with larger pairs of roses.
Roserade, the Bouquet Pokemon. Luring prey with a sweet scent, it uses poison whips on its arms to poison, bind, and finish off prey.
"Lucas, you're entering the contest?" Tyson questioned the auburn haired male. Lucas smirked as he crossed his arms.
"Why else would I be here?" Lucas asked back, making the blonde growl. "It does seem like you three are my major competition for my 3rd and final ribbon," Lucas said, calming Tyson down.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" a voice shouted, drawing everyone's attention. Kira stood on stage, holding a microphone. "I am Kira Chalmers, and I would like to say I'm glad to welcome you all to the Wallace Cup! Other than myself and Nurse Joy, we have a special judge here all the way from Hoenn! A Master Coordinator, and founder of the Wallace Cup, Wallace!"
Suddenly, a huge water atom ring formed in the sky, with two figures inside. One was a man with long green hair, and the other was a long serpent like Pokemon that captured everyone's eyes.
Milotic, the Tender Pokemon. Its lovely scales are described as rainbow colored. They change color depending on the viewing angle.
The atom lightly touched the ground, making it completely explode. The water flew around the space, almost illuminating the room due to the sparkles inside.
"I'm so glad to be here in the Kalos Region!" Wallace explained. "Instead of going on and on about my excitement, I would like to wish you all good luck and have a great night!" The room was filled with a combination of cheers and claps for the famous man.

"Geez, today was actually a pretty good day," Tyson said, sitting across from Molly. The rivals looked across to see Frogadier trying to talk to Dewott, but dropped to his knees when she walked away. Charizard, Tyson, and Molly laughed at the Kalos Pokemon.
"Tyson," Ramos said, walking towards the trainers. "I'm sorry to interrupt you guys, but can I have a word with you?"
"Sure, why not?" the hatted boy answered. He excused himself before walking out with Ramos.
Alexis left Vaporeon and Hawlucha to go talk to Lucas and the others and stood outside the building.
"Geez, I don't know if I could do this," Alexis said to herself. "Tyson and Molly are both strong trainers, I never made it past the semi-finals. Am I even strong enough to last 1 minute against any of them?"
"Don't say that," a masculine voice said. Alexis turned around to see Bolt walking towards her. "You are strong enough."
"Thanks, but I haven't seen any moment other than going past the Appeal Round," Alexis shot back.
"Alexis, you shouldn't worry about doing good," Bolt started. "Your mind should only be about having fun." Alexis looked at her traveling companion with a confused expression, which made him chuckle.
"First off, you should be having fun because you have the opportunity to be in a contest," Bolt told the brunette. "Other than being excited for performing for two top Coordinators, being happy that you have strong rivals to push you." Alexis looked into Bolt's eyes with a shocked face.
"Oh, am I interrupting something?" Wallace asked, walking outside with his Milotic. That snapped Alexis out of her daydreamed state and faced the Hoenn native.
"Not at all Wallace," Bolt answered.
"Aren't you competing in the contest, young one," Wallace questioned, pointing at Alexis.
"Yes sir," Alexis quickly answered. Wallace chuckled as he walked closer Alexis.
"Most people probably already told you this, but you I can tell you are a skilled coordinator." After Wallace's statement, Alexis nearly fell over and had Bolt catch her. The girl then quickly stood up and bowed to the green haired man.
"Actually, no they don't," Alexis responded, making Wallace shake his head.
"Well, then I'm glad to be the first," Wallace said, patting Alexis on the shoulder. "Good day young ones, and can't wait to see you perform, Miss Alexis!" The contest master walked back inside with his Milotic, making Alexis hold her chest in shock.
"See, now doesn't that make you want to go out there and have fun?" Bolt questioned. Alexis had a slight smile and nodded at electric trainee. "Come on, let's go back inside."
Bolt extended his hand out to Alexis, who ultimately took it. While walking back inside, Alexis began to blush.
"Bolt, thank you," the brunette mentally thanked. She looked at the teen holding her hand, and felt her face getting hotter. "Someday, I hope to repay you the favor."
Now the introduction to the Wallace Cup is finished! Rather than explaining what happened here, let me ask you!
What do you think happened to Molly's Dewott?
Shocked to see Lucas back? Yay or nay?
How did the last thing make you feel? I'm hoping to get better at 'romance', latter on in the story.
Next Time: Water Spectacular:
The Wallace Cup has finally started! Out of 64 competitors, only 4 will move on. Does our gang have what it takes, or will they fall short from the plank?
