"I'm so booorr- GUH. BUG IN MOUTH." Leo hacked and squirmed around on top of a very irritated looking Pluck.
Maria rolled her eyes. "You'd think evolution would make him smarter."
Pluck nodded his agreement and looked at the forest below.
"I think I see a Mightyena down there." The armor bird said.
"MIGHTYENA?! WHERE? IS IT SAPPHIRE. SHOW ME SHOWMESHOWMESHOWME- GUH. NO WAIT. AGH!"
The others merely watched as Leo thrashed around too much and fell off Pluck.
"... Shouldn't we help?" Clair asked.
"No. Cherish the moment." Nina replied, watching the water type plummet to the ground.
"So yeah, my trainer was a moron. She thought I was a girl." Hank said as he trotted next to Sapphire.
"You are pink, you know." The canine smirked.
"THAT DOES NOT PROVE ANYTHING." Hank hissed.
Sapphire rolled her eyes.
"AUUUUUGGGGHHHHH."
The pair looked in the sky to see a sea weasel fall from the sky.
"STOP THE RIDE, STOP THE RIDE!" He screeched and flailed his arms around. "Stupid blue fin things. CAN'T YOU MAKE ME FLY OR SOM- GUH."
He crashed into the ground behind Sapphire and Hank.
"... What just happened?" Hank questioned, taking a step back.
"A moron fell from the sky." Sapphire replied.
"SAPPHIRE IS THAT YOU?" The Floatzel wasn't knocked out, apparently. He ran over and gave the Mightyena a giant hug.
"What the... Wait. LEO IS THAT YOU?" Sapphire returned the hug when she noticed the blue wave markings down the Floatzel's sides.
"YES YOU MORON."
"YOU EVOLVED."
"YEAH."
"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?"
"IRON ISLAND IS KINDA FAR AWAY."
"THE DAWN STONE IS FIXED."
"OHMYGROUNDON REALLY? QUICK. GET LIAN AND-"
"... Am I in middle of this?" Hank asked, looking very annoyed.
Leo broke away and prodded the feline.
"Who's the pretty boy?"
Hank's closed eye twitched.
"He's with me." Sapphire replied.
"... Wuh... WHAT?" Leo cried, grabbing the sides of his head. He ran and hid behind a tree, hugging himself.
Sapphire blinked.
At that moment, Pluck landed and Nina lept off her ride, embracing Sapphire in a hug. Lian followed close by. But no hug.
"Is the Dawn Stone fixed?" He asked.
Sapphire smirked and picked the blue stone, setting it down before the two pokemon.
Clair and Maria landed next to Lian and Nina and the group formed a circle.
"So this is the stone you've been lo- Is Leo in an emo corner?" Maria turned around to see Leo rocking back and forth.
Nina shrugged. "Let's just get this over with."
"Fine with me." Lian replied and picked up the Dawn Stone, handing it to Nina. The two pokemon held onto it.
A blue glow emitted from the stone.
"Leo, hurry! You're going to miss it." Clair called.
Leo shivered and hugged himself again. "So emo. So very very emo..." He muttered.
Okay...
Nina smiled as the glow began to cover her body as well as Lian's.
"Finally, what we've been waiting for." She whispered.
"After all this time." Lian said quietly.
"WOAH. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS ARE GETTING MARRIED OR SOMETHING." Leo yelled as he pushed his way through the circle.
So much for an emo character.
Nina shot him a glare as the blue glow finally completely covered her and Lian's bodies.
The group watched as Lian started to grow taller. When he finally broke away, he towered over most of them, and no longer sported a skirt. He had muscular white legs and bladed arms. Two black horns protruded from his chest and another black one on his head. The army helmet sat proudly ontop of his head, the two bands hanging from it.
Lian smirked and slashed the air, leaning over and looking Leo in the eye.
"You are so dead." He said.
Leo swallowed nervously.
"Guys. Now's not the time to fight." Nina growled.
The group turned to her.
She had completely transformed. She floated off of the ground and was pure white aside from blue markings on her arms that came off her water drop shaped head. She also had a magenta bow around her waist and icy blue crystals on top her skull. Her arms were crossed, and her yellow and blue eyes were narrowed.
Leo was speechless.
"What?" Nina asked, becoming more irritated.
"You're hot."
Leo was then slapped across the face.
Pluck rolled his eyes. "Well, we best be off now." He said.
The other pokemon waved goodbye as he and his two team members took off.
"Don't go and kidnap someone again!" Lian called out as the trio flew farther away.
Pluck shot him a glare and flew faster.
Hank looked at the now dull Dawn Stone. "So uh... What happens to the Dawn Stone now."
It then exploded.
Sapphire blinked. "Well that answers why you can't use them twice."
Silence.
More silence.
Someone coughed.
More silleeennncccee.
"WELL NOW WHAT." Nina yelled, throwing her arms up in the air.
The other four took a step back.
"I MEAN. LIAN AND I BOTH EVOLVED AS WELL AS LEO. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW? SELL FLOWERS TO PASSING POKEMON?"
"I like flowers." Hank murmered.
"SHUT UP, KITTY." Hank cowered behind Sapphire.
Leo looked around the forest. "Hey, where are we anyway?" He asked.
Lian took out his map. "We're in a forest near Floaroma Town."
Sapphire sighed. "Floaroma. That sounds... Romantic." She smiled at Hank.
The group stared.
Anyway.
"... Floaroma... That's near Valley Windworks!" Leo said, smiling.
Nina raised a brow. "Isn't that where you're fr- Oh no. No. Don't even think about it."
Sapphire tilted her head, confused. "Oh! Family reunion."
Leo's smile grew wider as he nodded. "Family reunion. And pretty kitty can tag along."
"IT'S HANK."
Nina groaned. "Oh Groudon."
"Is this the realm of Dialga?" A creature asked.
"Yes. Now all we have to do is find- Ah, that was easy." Another creature said as Dialga appeared, looking very annoyed.
"Who dares trespass on my land while my nails dry?" The legendary asked.
The creatures snickered.
"My, my, Dialga. You've grown soft." One said.
Dialga raised a brow. "Entei? Is that you?"
The three creatures finally showed themselves.
It was the three beasts, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.
But they were different looking. Their fur was ragged and they were bigger that normal. Not to mention FREAKING HUGE HORNS AND TEETH.
Entei laughed to himself. "Yeah, it's us, Dialga."
Dialga took a step back. "Wait... Shouldn't you be at a pool party with Jirachi and Celebi?"
Somewhere in Ilex Forest.
"Cannonball!"
"Ugh! Jirachi! You got me all wet." Entei growled, licking his fur.
"You're such a girly man, Entei." Jirachi said, shaking the water off him.
"UGH! MY CLEAN FUR."
Well anyway.
"We're not who you think we are." Raikou said, sparking a bit.
Dialga blinked. "Then... who are you?"
He never got an answer before the three beasts lunged at him.
Blanca sighed.
Sandy looked at her as he took a bite out of his food. "What now?"
"I miss Leo." She answered.
Salty rolled his eyes and stole Sandy's food. "We noticed."
"It's just so boring without him." Blanca continued, looking at the sky.
"Yeah." Sandy agreed and wrestled the food back from Salty. "Nothing exciting ever happens here."
And then a creature swooped down from the sky and landed on the rock table the three were seated around.
Blanca screamed and lept back, shaking.
Sandy and Salty stood in front of her, poised for battle.
"What do you want?" Salty asked, growling.
The creature cleared her throat. "We mean no harm." She said.
Sandy raised a brow. "Yeah, it's not like you have giant teeth and claws or anything... And who's we?"
The creature motioned to the horde of ground and rock pokemon that were walking into the Valley.
"Oh."
"My name is Galestripe. And this is Blacktail and Shadow." The creature said, pointing at a Rampardos and Bastiodon.
The Rampardos nodded.
"Yo." Shadow said.
"I'm an Aerodactyl, in case you're utterly confused." Galestripe continued.
"Why are you here?" Blanca asked, holding onto Salty. She was still shaking.
"Well, our home in Oreburgh Mine collasped." Blacktail answered.
Shadow nodded. "Yeah. This pink and blue thing with all teeth and claws and horns knocked the hole place down."
Salty raised a brow. "And you came here because?"
"We were hoping you'd help us." Blacktail said.
"No-" Sandy started to say.
"OF COURSE." Salty interuppted. "Make yourself at home!"
Shadow leaped up and down. "Woo!"
This wasn't going to end well.
