Hi, hi, everyone. Here's the newest chapter that I've been waiting to write since Sabrina was introduced a few chapters back. Oh and btw, they haven't made it back yet, but choose to stop in Saffron for the night. Brock, Cynthia and Ash decided to head to Celadon and wait there.
Making it into Sabrina's home town once more brought along a air of relaxation for the three girls and Mikachu, who had perched herself on her trainer's shoulder like Ash's Pikachu did. Suddenly a loud calling rang through their ears, causing them to look at the source. ''Double-battle contest in the plaza, two trainers can enter together to compete for a prize at the end.'' A man with a mic called out from the statue that he was situated on.
''The plaza?'' asked Luchia slowly, as she looked up at Sabrina. Misty nodded with equal confusion, as she peered at the announcer.
''It's an annul event that we put on. Usually it's a Pokemon as a prize that is native to our region. We don't normally do double-battles however.'' She explained to the girls, trying to do it quickly. ''As for the plaza, it's this way.''
She lead the two girlfriends to the plaza, where a loud bulletin board was reading: 'Double-battle context. Trainers, sign up below.'. Luchia smiled, nodding. ''I wanna do some battling, me and my Pokemon don't battle enough. Who wants to join me?''
Misty thought about it, but knew that a water type trainer like herself couldn't probably join with her girlfriend as her Pokemon couldn't support properly, and she still wanted to interact a bit with Azurill. ''I think I'll sit this one out, Luchia. I still want to interact with Azurill a little, want to let her know that I didn't want to abandon her and that I love her...''
Luchia nodded, with a smile. ''That worry, I understand.'' She gently leaned in and kissed her girlfriend with a quick peck. People, who had been passing by, noted and went 'awwh' for a second before continuing. A faint blush appeared on both of their cheeks, as Luchia pulled back and continued. ''We can do battle together some other time.''
Misty smiled as she went to sit down at the spectator zone, leaving the other two. Sabrina nodded, figuring out how they were going to be doing the event within seconds. ''Looks like it's us two together. Who you planning on entering from your team.''
''Well, Gible and Litwick are still too young for proper battle. Gyarados is a bit dangerous in just a casual battle, plus I don't think she wants to battle for a while after the incident. Mikachu isn't allowed to be entered into any official battles, that only leaves Sylveon, Lucario and Charmeleon..'' She muttered to herself, trying to decide. ''Sylveon and Lucario might wanna, but so will Charmeleon. Ugh, I can't decide!'' She cried out in frustration.
''Well, there are always three rounds. One with 8 groups, then four and then the finals. You could use all 3 in different rounds. I'll do the same with my trio.'' suggested the green haired girl beside her. She definitely knew what she was doing, perhaps she had entered before in the event.
''That makes sense. Okay, I'll enter Charmeleon in the first round, Lucario in the second and Sylveon in the finals. In order of how I got them, but reversed.'' She smiled, knowing that her Pokemon heard her as they all agreed with her via telepathy.
''That works. Well to support that set up, I'll use Kadabra in our first round, Gothorita in the second and Raichu in the last.''
The two girls nodded in agreement, smiling. They went up to the sign-up registration and signed up their teams. They then entered the building and waited until their calling as there was only one battlefield that 8 groups had to share. They were group 8 so would have to wait quite some time. ''Group 7 and group 8, come to the field.'' Was the announcement that they were waiting on.
Luchia picked up Charmeleon's ball from her bag and left the rest in the locket, Sabrina did the same but with Kadabra instead. They walked out onto the battle field, both very prepared and hope their Pokemon could do great. Their opponents went to the opposing side of the field. A boy and a girl, both with a same competitive face that showed their confidence.
''Group 7, Jeanne and Micheal, versus Group 8, Sabrina and Luchia. Trainers, call out your Pokemon.'' came the announcer, who's voice boomed over the field. Misty called out her quick cheer for the girls, with Minun and Plusle next to her in cheer-leading outfits.
Luchia grinned, smiling at Charmeleon's Pokemon. She then called her out, without hesitation. Sabrina swiftly did the same with Kadabra. The two Pokemon entering the field with confidence. Their opponents' Pokemon came out shortly after, being a Vileplume and Butterfree. The announcer called again. ''Vileplume and Butterfree versus Kadabra and Charmeleon, start now!''
''Go girls!'' called out Misty, with a smile as her Plusle and Minun danced together.
Luchia scanned the field, before smiling. She and Sabrina choose to activate their telepathy, but only with each other so they knew who to fight. ''Charmeleon, Fire Blast the Butterfree!''
''Kadabra, Psychic on the Vileplume!''
Their opponents called the moves 'Solar Beam' for the Vileplume and 'Bug Buzz' for Butterfree. Charmeleon's Fire Blast burst through the Bug Buzz and hit directly and caused a lot of damage to the Bug/Flying type due to the type advantage. Whilst, Solar Beam was building up energy, Psychic had already hit the Vileplume directly and caused damage again.
Charmeleon's eyes focused on the field, as she felt a built-up of energy. She seemed to grin as she let the energy raise to the point that she began to glow. Her skin tone went back to that of a Charmander's, but her back burst into a pair of large wings. She let out a cry as the light faded to reveal a Charizard in it's wake. Luchia gasped in shock, she couldn't believe that her Charmeleon had just evolved. She tried to bring herself back together and make her next call. ''Flamethrower, Charizard!''
Sabrina, who was just as surprised by the sudden evolving of the fire/flying typed Pokemon, made her next call to her Pokemon, who was intensely waiting. ''Psyshock. Finish that Vileplume off, Kadabra!''
Misty, had sat back down, with her electric-types on her lap. Her face filled with shock, but she grinned. ''Nobody is beating them now. Go, Kadabra, Charizard!''
Luchia was focused as she watched the Flamethrower hit the Butterfree before it could react to the move, or it's trainer call. She smiled, relaxing as the Pokemon fainted and got recalled. Kadabra's colorful move of Psyshock hit it's target as well and knocked it out too. Both girls smiled and high-fived as the announcer called. ''Vileplume and Butterfree are unable to battle, the winners are Charizard and Kadabra. Group 7, you can return to your everyday activities and Group 8, head back inside to wait for your next run.''
With the battle over, the two recalled their Pokemon and headed back inside like the announcer had said. They breathed in the win, as Luchia smiled at her poke ball and whispered gently. ''You did well, Charizard as I knew you would...'' She looked at Sabrina and smiled. ''Well, looks like we can quickly head to Celadon tomorrow instead of walking through the route.''
Sabrina nodded with a smile. ''You battle well, to say that you don't like to consider yourself a battler. I heard from Misty that you wanted to be a Coordinator, I can definitely see it in you, but if you ever wanted to do official battling, you could.''
Luchia blushed at the comment. ''Thanks, Sabrina. I've noticed something about you and Misty. You always encourage me and Misty comforts me when I get hurt. You both becoming very important to me...'' She tried to slow her rapidly increasing heart rate with little success. ''I know I shouldn't hurt Misty, but I've fallen for both of you and I don't know what to do...'' She whispered, so only Sabrina heard.
''I don't know what to recommend, but listen to your heart and then decide. I'll admit that your cute, but it's your choice and you can't leave your girlfriend out of this even if it will hurt her knowing that you have two love interests, in me and her.'' came the whispered response.
Luchia nodded, unable to decide. She continued her mumble, uncertainty building in her voice. ''Are three-way relationships even possible...can both of you be my girlfriends?...Or is that impossible.''
''It's only impossible if you believe it is. But, lets finish our battles before you decide fully.'' The girl leaned in and kissed the ginger on the forehead briefly. ''Then all 3 of us can talk about it.''
The ginger nodded, blushing. She tried to remove the thoughts from her mind as she sat down. Mikachu floated over to her from where she had been hiding. The Mew clone gently sat on her trainer's lap and looked up with a frown. ''Mommy, what's wrong? I heard something about you loving two people, is it true?''
Luchia's blush deepened. She activate her telepathic link. ''I guess...I love both Misty and Sabrina for different reasons. Misty's adorable and Sabrina's so cool. But, I don't want to just choose one and I definitely don't wanna hurt Misty. The pure girl's been through enough over the last few days and she's probably already jealous, I've seen it in her eyes...'' She wanted to cry, but held the tears back as she continued internally. ''But, I don't even know if a threesome can happen outside of cartoons. It shouldn't be possible, right?...I'm more confused then I was when I was choosing who to enter!''
She sighed, returning Charizard's poke ball back to her bag and picked up Lucario's. The intercom came instantly. ''Group 5 and group 8, come to the field.'' The two girls sighed and left. Misty watched as her girlfriend and friend walked up, instantly picking up on Luchia's confusion and the tension between the two girls. She blinked confused, but shook her head and decided to find out later. ''Trainers, release your Pokemon.''
Luchia released Lucario and Sabrina let out of Gothorita. The tension between the two didn't seem to affect their Pokemon, as Lucario kept sneaking glances at the psychic type but every time she looked at him, he would turn and blush. Group 5 was also quick to call out their Pokemon, a Umbreon and a Venusaur. Luchia nodded to herself and looked at Sabrina, telepathically saying. ''I need you to hold off the Pokemon, whilst I set up Lucario.''
Sabrina nodded and called to her Gothorita. ''Psychic, on the Venusaur! Dodge any attack that the Umbreon gives.''
''Goth!'' Nodded the Gothorita, as she jumped into the air to dodge a Bite that the Umbreon tried to attack with. She then summoned a ball of light and hit the Venusaur with it.
Whilst that was going on, Lucario was setting up with Swords Dance. ''Okay. Stop, Lucario. You built up enough power. Now, use Blaze Kick on the Umbreon!'' She shouted, so that her Lucario would hear.
Lucario did just that, listening to his trainer even though he could feel a harsh built-up in aura in his body. He jumped into the air and washed back down with a fiery kick onto the Umbreon, hurting it drastically as it seemed to be a critical hit. Luchia instantly said another attack, giving the Umbreon's trainer now chance to recover. ''Now, finished it off with Brick Brick!''
The physical fighting move knocked the Umbreon unconscious almost instantly, as it had poor physical defense and it's weakness. However, shortly after using the move, Lucario didn't seem fully there. The aura had built-up too much, Luchia could feel it as he was trying to push it onto her despite the fact he never wanted her to suffer the overload. 'A Lucario's aura can backfire and even attack the trainer if not contained...what do I do? We're in the middle of a battle.' Luchia cried internally, unsure of her next action, but relief came as Gothorita's second Psychic knocked the Venusaur out. The announcer called the fact they had won, leaving Luchia to quickly head inside, telling Lucario to follow her.
Not listening to Sabrina's cry of worry, as the green-haired girl tried to follow. The two went into an empty storage room and locked the door with a key that had been left on the side. ''Lucario, listen to me. You need to control that aura, it's your power.''
He stood there, before yelling out with his eyes glowing red. Now Luchia was terrified of her Pokemon's reaction. The only thing she could think of doing was taking the aura for herself, as she wasn't likely to suffer a backlash, at worst just a collapse from taking more aura that her body could take. She went over to the Pokemon and wrapped her arms around him, despite him now punching her with Power-up Punch. The increasing pain did hurt, but she knew that she needed to calm his aura before her seriously hurt her. ''Come on...'' She whispered, taking away some of the overbearing aura. Her body seized in pain, but she didn't stop.
Panting, she looked up at Lucario, who was back to normal and clearly worried. ''I'm okay. I can handle this more then you can.'' She winced, but smiled at the Pokemon she considered her son.
''But, mother. You've gone over your usual amount!' He cried with concern in their telepathic link. ''You could severely hurt yourself!'
''I don't care. Your my son, Lucario, and I'll do anything. Even take this aura.'' She almost fainted from the aura pulsing through her veins, but stayed awake. ''Don't worry, I'm okay.'' She pulled herself together. ''Come on, lets get back. The finals will be starting soon and I need to swap you for Sylveon.''
The Lucario reluctantly followed, as she unlocked the door. The Aura Guardian and her Pokemon were instantly met by a quite concerned Sabrina. ''So, what exactly happened there, Luchia?''
''Well...Lucario had a bit of a overload of aura and I took some from him...'' whispered the ginger, as she looked away from her Pokemon. She recalled him, even though he tried to protest. ''But I'll be fine, we have to prepare for the final battle...''
''If you say so...'' muttered Sabrina, unsure of what to say about that. The intercom came shortly after to say the battle would be in five minutes and for the trainers to be waiting whilst the announcement continued about the rules of the round and the general stuff you'd hear at the battle like this.
Luchia picked up Sylveon's ball and sighed, walking outside with Sabrina. 'Today's been exhausting, first the stupid crush and now this hurting pain due to that aura..' She couldn't disguise the fact that she was in pain from the aura pulsing through her body, but she didn't let it be revealed too clearly. She could handle it, anything for her son as far as she was concerned. When they made it to the field, she peered at the other two trainers. She gasped a little to see Gary was there, it was a surprise that he would let himself get behind her sister. Gary seemed just as surprised that Luchia was there, but he smiled.
''Looks like we finally get to battle, huh, Lucie.''
''Looks like it...'' muttered Luchia in response. ''Me and Sylveon won't lose!''
''Your using Sylveon, huh. Well, me and Umbreon won't lose. Eevee versus Eevee, what'cha say?''
''I agree. You better hope Umbreon has a move that can beat fairy types.''
''Not particularly, but my party has a poison type.''
That made Luchia slightly nervous, but at the same time she knew that Sabrina could handle any poison type with her Raichu. The match began as the announcer called out. ''Gary from Pallet Town and Josh from Sinnoh versus Luchia from Pallet and our very own gym leader Cynthia.''
'Someone from Sinnoh. The only poison-type from Sinnoh is Croagunk and Stunky and their respective evolutions...I hope it's the Croagunk, it's safer for me and Cynthia.'
Both teams called out the teams and to Luchia's delight, it was indeed a Croagunk. Sylveon glared at the Umbreon, but also smiled at her fellow Eeveelution. She was prepared to win. ''Sylveon, Moonblast'' Luchia instantly called out.
''Raichu, Psychic!''
Both Pokemon knew their targets, it was quite obvious. But they also had weakness. The Croagunk was told to use Poison Jab. ''Sylveon, Finish Moonblast and use Fake Tears. Now!''
Sylveon was swift and sent the Moonblast towards the Umbreon, which was about to use Dark Pulse. She then began to cry with Fake Tears, stopping the Croagunk even though it knew it was an attack. This allowed it to get hit by Psychic and get knocked in very quickly due to the quad-weakness to Psychic. The Umbreon was still standing, as it growled at the other Pokemon.
''Thunder Bolt, Raichu!'' ''Moonblast, Sylveon!'' came the respective cries from Luchia and Sabrina and the moment the two moves hit, the Umbreon was unconscious without even getting chance to use a move.
This left Gary stun and the girls the winners. Luchia wobbled a little, from the aura, but stayed firm and happy. She high-fived Sabrina and went to pet Sylveon. ''You did a good job, girl, as always.''
''Sylve!'' cried the Intertwining Pokemon.
Luchia smiled, letting her Pokemon wrap her feelers around her arm, as she looked at her sister's rival. She decided to speak shortly after happily. ''Gary, that was fun. Lets do a proper battle in the future.''
''You bet.'' Gary said, with a smile. ''And you won't win next time.''
''We'll see about that.'' giggled Luchia, even though she was getting a bit dizzy. Misty ran down and hugged her girlfriend from behind. ''Hi, Misty. Your cheering helped a bunch.''
''Thanks.'' Misty smiled. ''And you and Sabrina get the reward!''
''Yeah, that's true. I didn't enter for the reward though, I entered because it sounded fun and I wanted to try out doubles.'' She turned and smiled, noticing that Azurill was in Misty's arms and Plusle and Minun on her shoulders. ''I saw Plusle and Minun during the battle, they were adorable in their little cheer-leading outfits.''
Misty smiled. ''I thought they would be.'' She petted her electric types, one at the time to get ahold of Azurill.
''Will the winners please come to the reception booth!'' called the intercom, alerting the three girls. They walked to the reception place, where they had signed up. Waiting for them was a man, with two Pokemon by his side. A Umbreon and a Espeon. The two Pokemon seemed very happy as they ran over to the girls. ''These are your prizes, girls. Moonlight, the Umbreon, and Midday, the Espeon.'' He explained, before walking back inside.
Sylveon seemed out-of-it from the moment she saw the Umbreon and Espeon. Then it clicked and she began to cry. The Umbreon looked at her and smiled. ''Hello, my daughter...''
''Mom!'' She then looked at the Espeon and happy teared up even more. ''Dad, I missed you both!'' She ran over and hugged both of them with her feelers. ''But, how did you know it was me. I evolved?''
''Because a mother never forgets her children. You and your brother. Both of you. Even after you got captured, we knew that you were going to a trainer, who would appreciate you. Your brother evolved into a handsome Jolteon by the name of Sparks and you, Nyphia, have evolved into an absolutely adorable Sylveon.''
''Nyphia...'' whispered Luchia, who had been listening and was quite shocked to find her first baby's parents just like that, as a prize for winning a bunch of double battles. ''So, that's your nickname, huh?''
Sylveon blushed, but nodded. ''Yes, Luchia...'' It confused Luchia a little that Nyphia used her actual name, but it was also understandable with the Sylveon's parents being around.''I got captured shortly after hatching and sent to that lab, where you found me. But I never forgot that my parents were an Umbreon and an Espeon. But I knew it was them instantly, as no other Umbreon that I know is Shiny!''
That fact was true, at the female Umbreon by the name of Moonlight clearly had blue rings instead of golden. Luchia smiled, before turning to Sabrina. ''Would you mind taking both of them, Sabrina? I'm not ready to put any of my Pokemon in Prof Oak's lab and they'll always see Nyphia that way.''
''If that's what you want.'' Sabrina said gently, picking up her new Pokemon's poke balls. The Moonlight Pokemon and the Sun Pokemon smiled as they agreed that they were going to be Sabrina's new Pokemon. They got recalled quickly as Luchia recalled Nyphia. ''But I believe that there is something that the three of us need to talk about, Luchia, Misty.''
Okay, hope you enjoyed this. Loads of battling, especially to say that it's Luchia doing the battling...Ash and the rest will reappear next episode. There's a slight spoiler below in the group's Pokemon. Also, got to love the cliffhanger. Next chapter will revolve around the three in their relationship and reuniting the Ash in Celadon City.
