Well I'm back, I'm sorry I am not keeping up with my normal upload schedule but I have been sick and busy, I often find myself falling asleep during class and at night when I am trying to stay awake.

In the last chapter Snow evolved into a Sylveon and Moon beat Carla's gym once again

I was waiting for the other to Lycanroc brothers to arrive so we could start on the gym. After the night that I spent at home I found myself sleeping near the woods, I couldn't be around my family after what I did to my sister. On occasion I would still hunt my own food, but I would usually eat at work or buy something from the convenient store. I found out that the 8/11 I placed the move Stealth rock in went out of business after a few law suits for medical reasons. I had to find a different store to buy snacks from, but that didn't matter to me. I continued to train with my pokemon for the next few days, we all grew stronger together.

I was practicing my speed with Flame the charizard when I heard a familiar voice shout out, "Hey Night." Night, I questioned, only two people called me Night. "Hey Dusk, I found him" Day said, "Alright" a second familiar voice said. Even though I had normal ears again they perked up as much as they could when I heard my two friends. I ran up to them and welcomed them both in a big embrace, "It's nice to see you again as well" Dusk said. "Okay guys, we need to learn each other's actual names, it might be confusing for the audience" I told them, They both looked at me puzzled before Sun whispered to me "Dude, that's a fourth wall break, you are not supposed to acknowledge them", then Dusk chimed in "I think the author could not think of a natural way to introduce our names at this point" he said. With that we each went silent and stared at each other. "Well I'm Moon" I Said, "isn't that your pokemon name" Dusk asked, I growled at him, "OK, Moon it is, well I'm Alexander, or Alex for short" Dusk said. "OK well now that I know both of your names it's my turn, my actual name is Drake" Sun said.

We all headed for Carla's gym, Drake and Alex seemed to know where it was already, they most likely asked Carla where they could find me. When we arrived a battleground was already in place, just no roof… or walls. It was a Rocky terrain, big surprise, and it was littered with boulders. Now, it's time for you to all design your gym badge and you can start. With this we huddled together and discussed it, afterwards we drew a quick sketch of what we wanted and handed it to Carla. She looked at our sketch and asked "Are you sure this is what you all want" we all nodded in agreement. Carla left for a few minutes and when she returned she had three small metal objects in her hand, a blue crescent moon, an eye that was an emerald green, and a piece of a yellow sun with orange sun beams coming out from it, part of the sun was missing as if it was being covered by something. We all smiled in delight as we fitted the pieces together to make the finished gym badge. If anyone wanted to get the finished badge they would have to beat the three of us, we could have separate battles due to the face that we had separate badges. This would give the challenger some time to rest before trying to beat another one of us, each battle would be one on one.

Carla looked at how happy we were, that is when she gave us even more good news. "Since I am a recognized gym leader I have connections, so I got my friend from the news to come to do a quick report on your new gym" she told us, we all smiled even bigger than any of us had in the past. As she said that a news van pulled up to the gym, a woman stepped out of the van with a smile on her face. "Hey Carla" the woman said, "Long time no see, how have you been." "Hey Maya" Carla responded. "So this the place" Maya asked, "It sure is, and these are the guys" Carla responded. With that Maya called out her camera crew, "We are here at a new gym in town, the leaders are all rock type users, and you may think I mean they use rock type pokemon, but you would be wrong, it seems they themselves have gained the abilities of particular rock type pokemon, head down here right now to challenge this new type of gym" Maya said to the camera before making a 'wrap it up' gesture with her hand.

"Now, as for my payment" Maya said to Carla. Carla sighed and told us what she promised her friend, Maya wanted to be the first challenge to the gym. We found nothing wrong with this and agreed to it, as her challenger Maya choose Alex to battle. They both shook hands and agreed to a fair, one on one, fight. Alex was the first to choose his pokemon, since it was himself, he stepped onto the battlefield as he waited for Maya to choose her pokemon. I wondered what kind of battle this would be, and I was about to find out.

I stood on my end of the battlefield, some workers from Carla's gym set up cameras around the field to start the live stream, Carla herself worked as the referee. This was going to be my first time in a real pokemon battle, and I could not wait. I could see Moon and Drake on the side of the field cheering me on, they both looked like goofs due to the fact that the battle had not started yet. Maya grabbed a pokeball from her waist and tossed it into the air, a red beam of light, of which I have seen in the past, shot from the ball. As the light faded it revealed a giant serpentine pokemon that I immediately recognized, it was a Garados. "Now that everyone is ready, let the battle BEGIN" Carla said. As she said this I launched myself into the air, the black streaks I had in my hair started to glow as I accelerated in speed towards the serpentine pokemon, letting off a blast of energy on contact. The Pokémon quickly shook this off as it used dragon pulse. It was a direct hit, I was sent flying, but I was not going to lose my first battle that easily. I regained my balance enough to stop myself on and launch myself off of the boulder I would have run into otherwise. I decided that I should take advantage of Garados' large size, at that moment I used Stealth rock and littered the battlefield in boulders that would do contact damage to any that run into them.

"Aqua tail" Maya shouted to her pokemon. I knew a water type move would have to happen eventually, and I was sure that even being mostly human I was still at a disadvantage to water type moves. I ran towards the giant serpentine pokemon and flew past its tail encased in water before it could make contact, I used Counter and knocked the Pokémon to the ground. I thought it was weird that I could use the signature moves of both the midnight and midday forms of Lycanroc. I kept on top of the dazed pokemon and was about to try to end it, I was going to win my first real battle.

Well that concludes this chapter, and what would I be if I didn't leave it off on a cliffhanger, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I'm sorry about the fourth wall break but I had been wanting to do one for a while now
