Day Four- 8:00 A.M. Location: Route 12.

"Are you sure you can't travel with us further?" Nan asked with a frown.

"I'm sure. I'll be there at the Pokemon league to beat all of you, though." Foxfire grinned and waved. "I'll see you guys around." He headed off in the opposite direction of the rest of the group. The group glanced at each other.

"Alicia and Alexis should fight!" Peanut immediately declared, excitement in his voice.

"That's strange. Weren't you the one trying to talk everyone down from fighting earlier?" Nan pointed out.

"Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaah, but I wanna see these two fight so I know who I should worship!" Peanut grinned excitedly.

"...what?" Nan deadpanned.

"Oh, I created two religions! One is polytheistic and is called Geminism, and it's the worship of Alicia AND Alexis! The other is FlashIciaism, which is monotheistic, and it's the worship of JUST Alicia! Depending on who wins this match, Imma decide which religion I believe in!" Peanut explained cheerfully.

"Wh- wha?!" Nan gave him a shocked look.

"That's adorable." Flash grinned, patting Peanut's head.

"How are you so calm?!" Nan deadpanned.

"I think it's cute." Flash replied.

"Toxic, back me up on this!" Nan turned to his friend.

"Well, if the fluffy wants to..." Toxic shrugged.

"Now, to really make you try your best, the winner gets this!" A mega ring materialized in front of Peanut.

"Wh- what?! But I thought... I... There was only one of those!" Nan gasped.

"I have one for each of us." Peanut replied, blinking. "G made them before the journey started."

"Then what was the point of all that fighting back there?!" Nan asked.

"I thought the tournament was cool, besides, it gave everyone a good gauge of the other peoples' strength." Peanut grinned.

"I thought I was all special, too..." Nan migrated to the emo corner.

"Can we take the focus off Nan and onto me, Peanut? I'm ready beat this bitch ass snitch." Alicia glared at Alexis aggressively.

"The fuck did you just call me?!" Alexis blinked in shock.

"Quick question... Which twin is which?" Nan wondered.

"That joke isn't funny, dimwit!" The twins yelled, smacking him in unison.

"Begin!" Peanut cheered, throwing confetti everywhere. Alicia instantly sent in Pikachu against Alexis's Pichu.

"Bruh. Your punk ass shitty little fuckboi Pichu can't do shit." Alicia taunted.

"Excuse me?!" Pichu shot forward, but Pikachu just smacked it away with an iron tail. Pikachu smirked.

"What did I tell you, bitch? That little piece of shit can't do jack shit. Fucking garbage." Alicia taunted coldly.

"Shut up!" Alexis screamed, Pichu slamming Pikachu with a strong electric attack.

"The fuck did that shit just do? Not in my fucking house. Fuck that shitty bitch up, Pikachu. Make it fucking die." Alicia growled. Pikachu sweatdropped and looked at his trainer. "Just fucking attack!" Pikachu and Pichu started clashing, using practically the same attacks.

"Is it just me, or are their attacks really similar?" Toxic wondered.

"It's because Pichu is a clone." Flash and Nan both deadpanned to her, making her sweatdrop.

Eventually, Pichu fell by a small margin. Alexis sent out Bellosom, who quickly finished Pikachu off. Alicia sent in Spewpa, and the sisters glared at each other.

"Go!" Spewpa and Bellosom clashed, but it soon was clear that Spewpa was outmatched despite the type advantage. She was defeated, and Alicia sent in Swirlix next. Swirlix managed to squeak in a victory thanks to Spewpa weakening Bellosom earlier. However, Alexis brought in her second Bellosom and easily took down Swirlix.

"Looks like Alicia will have to pull out her trump card already... Those Bellosoms are well trained." Flash commented.

"Fennekin!" Alicia sent her strongest Pokemon in. Alexis freaked and was about to switch out when Fennekin finished her with one ember. Alexis sent in Staryu, smirking. Alicia quickly switched in her own Staryu.

"Water gun!" Both twins ordered at once. The attacks collided.

"Swift!" Both twins ordered at once. The same result occurred.

"Rapid spin!" The two starfish Pokemon collided and were both thrown back.

"Stop copying me!" The twins shouted angrily at each other.

"You two really act alike. It makes it hard to tell you apart." Nan commented.

"Shut up! We don't even wear the same clothes!" The twins hissed at Nan as their Staryus water gunned him. Eventually, the Staryus tied, leaving Fennekin and Torchic to fight. Fennekin threw herself forward in a flame wheel, but Torchic jumped over her and aimed a kick her way. Torchic disrupted the flame wheel, but was injured by the flames. She winced and landed, unleashing an ember. Fennekin countered with the same move. This resulted in a small explosion. When the dust cleared, Fennekin and Torchic were exchanging physical blows relentlessly.

"They're pretty strong. I'm impressed." Flash said.

"Who's going to win is the question." Nan said.

"Alicia." Flash, Toxic, and Shadow all immediately said, causing Nan to sweatdrop.

"Wh- what?!"

"Alexis's main Pokemon are those Bellosom. Without them, Torchic is her only remaining strong Pokemon. She's noticeably less experienced than Alicia. It makes you wonder what she's been doing this whole time." Shadow said.

"That was harsh. I did notice that Lex was less experienced during my battle with her earlier, though." Flash said. As he spoke, Fennekin slammed Torchic down, barely defeating her.

"Fucking right. You worship ME, Peanut." Alicia growled.

"There's still another test... But that'll come later." Peanut giggled, tossing her the mega ring. "Let's go!"

Day Four- 9:00 A.M. Location: Coumarine City.

"Let's knock this out." Flash said as the group stared at the fourth gym.

Day Four- 9:30 A.M.

"That was easy." Flash commented as the group walked out of the gym with their gym badges in hand. They all had just used a fire or ice type. "Let's head to the next city."

Day Four: 10:00 A.M. Location: Route 13.

"Time to challenge the gym in Lumiose!" Nan cheered as they walked along the desert route.

"Darky would throw a fit here." Peanut commented.

"..." Toxic was silent.

"Something wrong, Toxic?" Peanut wondered. The girl quickly pointed to a Team Flare grunt nearby. All of the group instantly tensed up and began talking in hushed tones.

"Hey, you."

The grunt blinked as Alicia and Toxic approached him menacingly, Shadow and Staryu behind them. He instantly caught on and sent in a Golbat and a Houndoom. Golbat shot at Staryu.

"Don't call yourself team FLARE if you're not going to use only fire types!" Shadow shouted angrily. He slammed it down with his tail, and Staryu battered the Houndoom with water attacks. The Team Flare grunt turned to run, but Alicia grabbed his arm.

"Not so fast." After a short torture session, Alicia held up a keycard. "They're doing something at the power plant over there."

"Let's stop them." Flash cracked his knuckles. The group quickly entered the power plant. They were instantly surrounded by Team Flare grunts.

"Dammit." Alicia frowned, sending in Fennekin, but Toxic and Nan were faster. Shadow shot forward instantly to deal with the closest Pokemon, and Nan's Lucario was out seconds later to slam the trainers out of the way.

"You three keep on going." Toxic told them. "I'll secure the entrance with Nan, then he'll catch up to you." Flash, Alicia, and Alexis quickly ran through the gap.

"This is easier than expected." Flash commented just as three grunts stepped in to block their way. Each trainer took one grunt. Flash and Alicia's Gardevoir and Staryu won with ease, but Alexis seemed to be struggling.

"See you later, sis!" Alicia called as she and Flash ran onward.

Alexis's call of "don't ditch meeeeeeeee!" Was lost on the two of them.

"I see. So trainers have come to foil our plans." A strangely dressed woman said as Flash and Alicia reached the deepest part of the power plant. The woman was standing next to a young man, who stepped in front of her.

"Lady Aliana, don't waste your time with unfashionable people like these!" The team flare admin told the woman.

"The fuck you say about me you piece of shit? Your clothes and hair are shit, yet you still getting salty with me? You salty red piece of shit, I will flame your bitch ass. You fucking dead now." Alicia glared, sending out her Staryu to charge at the admin with a rapid spin. Aliana calmly sent out her Mightyena to protect the admin. Mightyena used scary face to slow Staryu down before shooting forward to slam it with an assurance.

"Wh- what?!" Alicia gasped, the strategy too sudden for her to stop. Fortunately, Flash threw Inkay in to take the assurance.

"We have to work together, Alicia. We may be strong, but these guys aren't pushovers like the grunts." Flash said. "Let's crush them together."

"Yeah!" Alicia and Flash high fived as the admin sent in his Houndoom in order to even the numbers.

"Now, have Staryu use rapid spin again." Flash said.

"But it's hella slow now-"

"Just do it."

Alicia shrugged and ordered Staryu to use rapid spin while Inkay used peck. Both of Team Flare's Pokemon used a combined scary face on the two. However, Staryu and Inkay got faster instead, slamming Houndoom and Mightyena to the ground.

"I secretly had Inkay use topsy-turvy, which reverses stay changes." Flash explained. "I knew they would respond to a physical attack by using scary face, so I used this time to speed Staryu and Inkay up. Now we can take 'em down directly!" Staryu defeated Houndoom with a water gun while Inkay slammed Mightyena with a peck. Unfortunately, Mightyena was able to defeat Inkay with another assurance.

"Lemme beat 'im!" Peanut cheered, jumping in. He glared at Mightyena before using hyper voice. Staryu was able to finish him off with swift.

"Farewell..." Team Flare fled as Flash and Alicia high fived.

"We're awesome as a team! Next time we won't go easy either, Team Flare!"
