Female's Revenge

Shadow Seeping Through

When Violet was introduced as an elite, there were three boys astonished, shocked, stunned… all together.

"S-s-s-s-she's an elite?!" Chooki yelled out, but most of his voice was drown out by the yells of excitement from other trainers.

Ceylan left his jaw open, the snapped back to reality, "No freaking way…"

"... are my eyes deceiving me?!" Toxsa rubbed his eyes again and again, then pinched his face. "This… is not a dream."

"Well, Arceus dammit," Chooki cursed running a hand through his hair, sighing.


"Serperior, use Dragon Tail to throw Charizard off balance!" Trip called the first move, starting off the intense battle, Serperior's tail glowed blue, aiming for Charizard's legs.

"Fly up, Charizard!" Alain called out, "Use Flamethrower from the sky!"

A wave of flames emerged from the orange dragon-like pokemon's mouth, aiming right smack at Serperior's face.

Seeing that it'll be a super effective move, he called his own counter attack, "Counter it with Leaf Storm!"

Serperior gave it's own battle cry, and launched a flurry of leaves at the Flamethrower, both attacks making contact exploding in the air, yet also colliding each other out, creating lot's of smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the two pokemon stood there unfazed by the powerful attacks, the urge for battling rose in their trainer's hearts.

Alain reached for his key stone, tapping it and creating four rainbow beams shooting out from the stone, the beams connected with the key stone on Charizard's collar, starting the mega evolution, "Charizard, mega evolve!"

When the light cleared once again, Charizard evolved into a Mega Charizard X, increasing it's power and stamina by 50%.

"Holy crap, this is not going to end well," Diana facepalmed along with the other champions and elites.

"Let's hope we'll live through this one…" Violet said sweat dropping, stonifying.

"Yeah…" Scarlet was also in the same mood with Violet.

"Use Dragon Tail once again, Serperior!" Trip called out another attack, his tail glowed blue once again and aimed for Charizard.

Alain was not fazed by the sudden attack, instead he called out a counter move, "Use Seismic Toss!"

Trip's eyes widen in realisation, trying to stop the attack, "Serperior, get out of there!"

But Charizard still managed to hold onto his tail and lifted that massive grass snake in the air, he spun Serperior around like a rag doll and threw him on the ground creating a crater on the battlefield.

"Serperior!" Trip yelled out, Serperior slowly but surely rose, it still took damage from an attack like that.

"Both Champions, stop your attacks, the time limit is up," Mr Goodshow announced, giving Diana a mental break, "It's a tie!"

"Aw, better luck next time Serperior, return," Serperior gave him a grateful nod as the red beam surrounded him.

"You did great, get some rest," Alain scratched his head as he recalled Charizard, who returned to normal.

When the two got back from the battlefield, the saw the champions and the elites hiding behind a psychic shield that Alex, Luna and Raven put up, they sweat dropped seeing that sight.

"What's going on with you guys?" Alain asked.

"You're the one to say," Violet groaned.

"And for the second battle… Champions and Elites, make your choice-"

"Wait!" Violet yelled, remembering something, the group looked at her confused, but Luna, Scarlet and Diana knew what was going on.

"I have a new proposal from our Elite Violet Nash," Diana said through her own mike. "That she'll choose her opponent from the trainer's section."

Upon that, the trainers grew wild, they all wanted to fight the elites, and now they had a slim chance.

"I choose… Chooki Mason," Violet said with an evil smirk on her face, unoticable by the crowd, but visible to her friends.

"Where is Chooki Mason?" Diana asked, a hand rose from the crowd, the trainers cleared a path for him.

"I'm here," Chooki said with a grim face.

"Okay, so the battle between Violet and Chooki will now begin, this is a three-on-three match, begin!"

Chooki smirked victoriously as he tossed out a pokeball, "Delphox, game on!"

Violet smirked too, just because of his stupidness, "... Milotic, time to shine."

"When did she get a Milotic again?" Luna asked.

"Actually that Milotic joined her after she saved it, when we crossed that river," Diana thought. "It's a killing machine now."

"Delphox, use Psybeam!" Chooki called the first attack, starting the battle once again.

Delphox immediately shot a colorful beam right at the serpent snake pokemon, who didn't flinch at the attack.

"Use Mirror Coat," Violet ordered calmly.

Milotic's body got covered in a silver coat, the Psybeam made contact with it, but it yawned when the attack deflected back at Delphox.

"Dodge it!" Chooki called out, he looked at the smoking area where the Psybeam hit, it was also where Delphox stood a second ago.

"Use Taunt," Violet smirked, which Milotic used her tail to do a 'Come at me bro' pose, which made Delphox growl.

"Stay calm, Delphox," Chooki groaned. "And use Flamethrower!"

"Dodge it," Violet said, reading a book and sitting on a chair that absolutely came out of nowhere, she didn't even bat an eyelid when the attack ran next to her. "And knock that Delphox out of it's misery with Attract and Water Pulse."

"She is so toying with him right now," Diana crossed her arms sweat dropping at her VIP box, which she happily got into.

"Tell me about it," Alex yawned sitting on a couch, watching the match on TV.

Hearts came flying to Delphox, who undoubtedly is a male, made contact and made it go all lovey-dovey for Milotic.

"Delphox, snap, out, of, it!" Chooki yelled dumbstruck of the attack, but before Delphox even realised, he was hit by a super-effective move and it was a one hit KO.

"Delphox is unable to battle, the winner is Milotic!"

"Delphox return," Chooki groaned as he returned the fox pokemon and mouthed thanks. "Haxorus, game on!"

"... a Haxorus," Violet said rising from her chair and tossing away her book, she returned Milotic and tossed out another pokeball. "Silver, show them who's boss!"

"Ha! How can that puny little thing beat Haxorus?!" Toxsa yelled and laughed from the crowd followed by Ceylan.

"We'll see," Violet yawned and began to sleep standing up.

"Haxorus, use Dragon Rage!" Chooki yelled, a green bolt of energy was formed in his mouth, and launched it towards Sylveon.

The attack hit Silver dead on, but she still stood there elegantly, she didn't even dodge without any orders from its trainer.

"Dragon Rage again!" Chooki called, it hit again, but Sylveon was still standing.

Diana burst out laughing in the VIP box, "Such an idiot! Sylveon's a fairy type, for Arceus's sake!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" Scarlet laughed clutching her sides she hit the table constantly she could sooth the laughter a little. "I… can't… stop laughing!"

"Wow, you really don't know?" Violet asked, sitting down in mid air, thanks to her psychic. "Sylveon's a fairy type."

"And?" Chooki asked.

"Fairy types are immune to dragon type moves, genius," Violet rolled her eyes. "Syl, use Swift to end this battle."

Silver's feelers glowed and launched a army of stars to Haxorus, which he didn't have time to dodge, and it was also a one hit KO.

"Haxorus is unable to battle, Sylveon wins! Trainer, please choose your final pokemon!"

"Haxorus… return," Chooki clenched his teeth. "Charizard, game on!"

"He has a Charizard too?" Alex and Alain both raised an eyebrow.

"Dude, FYI, you're not the only people that has a Charizard; okay?" Luna chuckled.

"Silver, thanks a lot," Violet smiled as she returned Sylveon, "Snowstorm, time to shine!"

"Did she just choose a pokemon with a type disadvantage?" Toxsa asked.

Ceylan scratched his own head, "She did… that Ninetail's an ice type… and ice is weak against fire types like Charizard… maybe Chooki's gonna win this one…"

"Alright Charizard, use Flamethrower!" Chooki yelled again, a wave of flames launched towards the ice and fairy type.

"Dodge it and use Blizzard!" Violet yelled, a freezing wind was released from Snowstorm's mouth, freezing Charizard's legs.

"Oh no Charizard!" Chooki yelled. "Break free with Steel Wing!"

"Oh no you don't!" Violet yelled back. "Get him with Hyper Beam!"

"How can your Ninetails use that move?!" Chooki yelled as he saw the attack hit its target dead on.

"Intense training, I've been able to push my pokemon pass their move-limit," Violet smirked as the smoked cleared, but her jaw almost dropped when she saw the results. "It's still standing."

When the smoke fully cleared, Charizard stood there badly injured, radiating a dark aura.

"A-a… shadow pokemon," Diana gasped as she ran to the open podium. "Goodshow! Call off this match! Now!"

"What's… going on?" Violet asked, being an aura and a psychic user , she is able to see the dark aura around Charizard's body. "Don't… tell me…"

"Vi! Get out of there!" Luna yelled and rose from her seat; shadow pokemon are extremely dangerous, it only happens when a remaining shadow aura floating around find it's pokemon host, it's not likely to happen, but when is does… the pokemon attacks everything and everyone around it.

It might even kill the opponent's pokemon… and the trainer.

"This match is over! That pokemon is dangerous!" Diana yelled out to the crowd. "Chooki Mason, recall your pokemon this instance!"

"W-what?" Chooki asked, but obeyed grabbing his pokeball, unexpectedly, again, Charizard refused to go in it's pokeball. "Charizard return- he won't get back!"

"This is bad!" Alex yelled. "We have to get that pokemon in his pokeball, or-"

"- he will destroy us all," Luna finished with a grave face.

"Vi! Listen to me! Get Snow back in and run for it!" Diana yelled behind the border of the trainer's spectator hallway. "Chooki, you too!"

"Vi, listen to her!" Scarlet yelled from the VIP box. "It's dangerous!"

Charizard launched his most powerful Flamethrower he can muster, it was way more powerful for the shadow-aura enhanced his power, he fired it everywhere, the shields at the spectators

Didn't work because that was destroyed by him first.

"Charizard!" Chooki yelled, "Stop this!"

But he took no notice at his trainer's calls, he fired, the aura and psychic users panicked, because they can't get out the VIP box in time to pull out a shield to stop that attack from hitting.

Violet closed her eyes to wait for the inevitable, instead… it never came.

She reopened her eyes and saw Diana… standing in the middle of the battlefield holding up a shield around the stadium, and I mean the entire stadium from the attack

"Vi, get back in there!" She called out to her painfully.

"I can't just leave you!" Violet protested.

"Vi," Diana called out, and smiled weakly. "It's my region, Vi, it's my job to protect this place."

"Diana…" Violet said hesitantly. "I…" Before she can finish, a bright light engulfed everyone's sights and a yell of pain was heard.

"Diana!" Everyone called out.

One of the things that they all hated most, was the hospital.

Needles, machines, the smell of disinfectant ointment in the air… a hospital isn't always rainbows and sunshine.

What they really hated most of visiting the hospital, was to wait for a hurt friend, she may die or live, her chances of living are holding on a thread.

"It's all my fault," Violet sobbed as she sat at the bench outside the patient's room.

Serena, Scarlet and Luna comforted her, sitting next to her, "It isn't… blame the shadow aura, not you."

"If it wasn't for Chooki's Charizard… we would be in the tournament right now." Luna sighed. "But we can't blame him either, it wasn't his fault."

"... you're right…" Violet sighed. "But… will she be… okay?"

"She… used almost all of her aura… from a sudden move like that… she didn't charge it up properly… she… forced her aura to work…" Luna turned her head away. "I-I… don't know…"

"Is she hurt…?" Serena asked.

"She's fine… physically, it's her aura state... we're worried about…" Alex came and bit his lower lip. "If we don't do something… soon… she'll…"

"Well, Arceus dammit it's my fault!" Violet yelled. "I should have never challenged Mason and this happened! It's all because of my stupid idea to get revenge on them!"

"Hey, Diana helped you this far, you're not going to give up, are you?" Scarlet asked. "Plus, she still holds the life-and-death of my world."

"She's too stubborn to die," Luna said.

"... but how can we help her…?" Violet asked weakly and slumped back in her chair.

"We… can't," Alex sighed. "It depends on how much she used and will her body recover… it's… up to her."

"Oh Arceus," Serena cursed. "And the tournament's postponed to a few months later."

"I can imagine the headline, 'Alola Champion In Peril'," Violet groaned.


"It's all my fault," Chooki moaned as he sat on his room bed.

"Dude, if it wasn't for Violet to challenge you, you won't be like… this now!" Toxsa yelled. "She played from the beginning!"

"But whose Charizard was it?" Chooki snapped. "Maybe… we should apologise…"

"Last time we tried I got slapped in my stomach," Ceylan groaned. "But yeah… I think we should."

They walked down the lift and saw Violet and her friends walked past them slowly, their eyes were bloodshot, and tears still streamed down her face.

"Let's get something to eat, we haven't eaten for a day," Scarlet suggested, trying to lighten the mood a bit, "Diana wouldn't want to see us like this."

"I-I… guess you're right," Violet sniffed.

"Violet," Chooki called out, she turned around looking at him with no emotion.

"What?" She asked in a monotone voice, a little cracked.

"I just want to say… I'm… sorry for what happened," Chooki sighed, expecting for her to yell at him, but she just nodded.

"I know," She said softly, supporting Luna, "And I forgive you… all of it."


"... she's not doing great, is she…?" Alain asked in the hospital next to Diana's sick-bed.

"No," Amber sighed. "Her aura is still weak, very weak."

"Are you sure there's nothing we can do…?" Cynthia asked, looking at the pale Diana, she was no aura expert or user, but she can tell when someone's aura is very, very weak.

"I'm afraid not," Raven groaned. "Damn that random shadow-aura, what was it doing there anyway?!"

"I guess… Chooki Mason must have… lived in guilt and hate for a long time… and I've heard that Violet and Chooki… had a bad past…" Alex moaned slumping on the chair. "Plus… I think Vi's figured it out by now."

"Well, Diana if you die on us now, you won't be able to prank Amber and Raven again," Trip joked bitterly, forcing out a weak smile. "Seriously, hang in there…"


"... I need fresh air," Violet said walking out of the cafeteria.

"Stay safe," Luna sighed.

She walked out of the pokemon center and found Chooki dazing on a garden bench, she walked over to him and sat next to him, "Hey."

Chooki snapped back to reality, "Oh, hey. What are you doing here…?"

"Getting some fresh air," Violet sighed softly. "I'm… sorry for treating you guys like that…"

"It's nothing," Chooki shook his head. "I forgive you for that…"

"... I can't believe what happened," Violet sobbed a little. "It's really all my fault…"

"VI, it's not-"

"No, it's mine, I made you guys live in guilt for what happened and that damn shadow-aura came! It's all mine!" Violet yelled. "I should have seen it coming."

"No you can't," A familiar voice said in her head.

"Diana…?" Violet asked softly. "Aren't you…"

"Vi, I know I'm at the edge of dying just… I don't know if I can make it this time…" Diana sighed mentally. "If I'm really gone… stay safe and… good luck."

"You're not giving up, are you?" Violet asked back.

"I never give up," She replied, with a hint of sadness. "You all expect me to return… so I'll do my best…"

"Good, because the Diana I know never gives up without a fight," Violet replied.

With that the connection broke, she snapped back to reality and found Chooki staring at her.

"You okay?" Chooki asked.

"Yeah, just… she reached me… through our bond… she's going to fight," Violet smiled and embraced Chooki. "I'm so glad you're my friend."

Chooki returned the hug slowly, "Me too."
