I have to confess, I am not that much talented since I'm not that good in spelling and punctuations, writing stories is just a hobby that I like to share with other people and I find myself just average. The biggest problem about me is that I have dyslexia and I also wear glasses so I always depend on auto-correct to correct my spellings but I still miss some words or mix them up. The reason why I want to write is because I was inspired by amazing writers and I want to improve and fight over my dyslexia. That's why I want to challenge myself by writing stories while also entertaining others. So thank you, I'm glad you like my story and took your time to read it and what I like most is being corrected for typos since I love to development my writing. I also have a hard time making action sequences.
Isaac: Characters from P45's profile, the characters of Megahearts, will appear as cameos here, I'll also be appearing.
Isaac, stop barging in my notes…
Also, be sure to check up the authors who had their stories featured in cameos. They're amazing.
Crystal Cave
7:30
December 23, 20XX
During Christmas, the cave sports beautiful crystals perfect for Christmas and the locals of Treasure Town usually tasks explorers to go to this cave and harvest few of the crystals. The resident Azelf accepts the task for the explorers as Crystal Cave usually has too much crystals that makes the local Pokemon getting trap inside. Some Pokemon also visit Azelf for some time as Azelf usually gives advice and tells tales of determination to give willpower to those who listen. Azelf also challenges Pokemon with the test of their willpower and determination as an explorer.
Today, not that much Pokemon are around so the cave is completely silent. There is not that much noise as the local Pokemon weren't going around making noises. However,
BOOM!
"AAAACCCCKKACCCKKKAACCKK!"
"BUGOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"KAWKAWKAWKAWKAWRGH!"
"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKK!"
"GAK! BLAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGH!"
*Cough* "WWWAAAAAAAAACK!"
"HACK! HACK! HACK!"
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHH!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"
A series of noises of puking Pokemon erupted from the vicinity of the cave together with a cry,
"TYPE BURST FINISH!"
"Hahahaha!" Phil laughed.
Phil is holding a handheld console. The console has two screens, one at the bottom and one on top. Bottom screen has an analogue at the left below the directional buttons and four round buttons at the right. It is rectangular pocket-size device that the top side and the bottom side can close.
The top screen shows a Salamence sprite with a background that happens to be a restaurant. The bottom screen shows a title of a story, "Grace Dalila's Special Dish". The game appears to be a Visual Novel as it appears as one.
To describe the Salamence's appearance, he doesn't appear like a regular Salamence. He looks very young, around the age of 16. He has bigger eyes with red irises that appear a bit serpentine and humane. Furthermore, the Salamence looks cute and adorable.
Below the render of the Salamence, there is a text box indicating the events happening.
'Sky looks around the massacre that took place inside the Lumiose City Restaurant as he stare at the horrors of the mess that Grace Dalila had done.
'The chairs of the costumers are all turned over and messy. On the tables, plates of spaghetti with Hoppip herbs and large meatballs lie, having one bite on each.
'On the floor, the costumers are lying on the floor, puking and look as if they are dying. The whole restaurant is now filled with vomit as some costumers saw the Pokemon vomiting that they all fled out of the restaurant with horror. Sky sighed that they get to keep the payment they received.
'"No refunds" is one of the rules of the restaurant.
'One table in particular has a costumer sitting there. Not only was he trying to kill himself or destroy his digestive organs, he seems to be loving it.'
The Salamence begins speaking, his mouth is moving as he talks with the render changing his expression to one of shock. The Salamence has a high-pitched voice. On the text table, it shows the Salamence's name and what he is talking about.
'Sky
N-no way. How?'
Then the background changes to display a scene of what happened. Like what the text said, it was a mess with Pokemon around the area squirming.
Near the screen, a Hydreigon is lying on his belly with green vomit going out of his mouth of his heads; on top of him is a Chandelure with her purple flames turned green and her face is hidden that Phil cannot see her face but he can see the arm-frames on the Hydreigon; beside is a Samurott lying on his back with his eyes covered by his helmet and green ooze going out of his mouth, his head is only shown; Mewtwo is beside the Samurott, lying in an awkward position, face on the floor with the hips upright and vomit around the face; at the rear, Giratina's body can be seen outside the window curled like a dead caterpillar; Cresselia is face planted on a table; one can see a Serperior leaning on the wall with her head facing up to hide her eyes, one can see green vomit sipping out of her mouth; an Aggron is lying sprawled on the ground with a Blaziken hunched on top of his belly, their eyes are both in X and souls are going out of their bodies in a form of a small angel Aggron and a small angel Blaziken; a Sceptile rammed to a wall and slouched there with a fluid of vomit creating a green waterfall; and a Charizard can be seen having his head hanging on the roof with the arms on the side, legs down and tail behind the legs with the flame flickering.
At the center, there is a tasty-looking spaghetti on the table with a Swampert eating it and smiling. At the other end is Sky with his fore legs on the table to look at the Swampert. Sky is very short, having the height of 4'10''.
'Amidst the massacre and bodies of the victims. There is someone who loves the food. It is no one other than Grace's crush, who is oblivious to the massacre around him.
'Earwyn
Sky, you have to try this food. This is the best food I have ever tasted in my life…can I order an extra after this?
'Sky
B-big bro?
'Earwyn
"But who cooked this Heliopetile (Heck of a) dish, after this, give her my compliments to her and here is a tip for you too Sky. Also, I'll buy you some too."
'Sky wonders if the food is controlling his foster brother's mind. But later, he has to eat the killer spaghetti of Grace Dalila.'
The art background disappears and returns to the restaurant's background then shows a sprite of a blue-eyed Gardevoir. She has a ribbon around her waist and has a hand placed beside her hips.
'Meanwhile, Grace is between the doors that lead to the kitchen as she watches Earwyn eat his meal. She is oblivious to the carnage she created while she stares at her crush.
'Grace
Oh, senpai…'
"Why can't this game let me see Sky's reaction?" Phil said as both screens turn black and return to the story selection menu. "Love is such a powerful thing, too bad I can't see Sky suffer and let me see my mains suffer."
There was a rumble in the cave as Phil looks up from his console and sees the crystal leading to Crystal Crossing opening. Phil saves the game before shutting the console off and returning it to his dimensional storage and goes inside the cave.
As Phil goes down the path, Phil reminisces the times when he was a little Bagon living here before joining Team Elemental. He also remembers the Snorunt who he used to play with and his rival. Snow Crystal, his foster sister and rival. How they play tag under Azelf's watchful eye, tease the local Pokemon, having lessons with Azelf and guarding the Time Gear.
"Heh, me and Snow used to play in this spot." Phil said. "She always make fun of my height and weakness. Good thing I'm not like that Salamence from Pokemon Megahearts: Souls of Liberation, he is one and a half feet smaller than me."
CLICK!
Phil looks down and he realizes that he flew over a trap with a Voltorb on it. In a blink of an eye, Phil's Outlast Bow materializes around his neck as the trap explodes. The trap also has a secondary effect that sent Phil flying back.
"Traps cannot hurt me." Phil boasted. "I am Phil Crystal of Team Ele-"
CLICK!
He was blown to a Trip Trap. Phil trips and loses his Detect Specs, his vision becomes blurry since Phil is nearsighted. To add insult to injury, the trap's secondary effect caused him to spin around until he is dizzy. Phil wobbly walks around dizzily before shaking his head.
"Now I know how Droplet feels when he goes to Zero Islands alone." Phil said dizzily before shaking his head. "Where are my glasses?"
Phil begins searching round him as he knows that a Trip Trap isn't a dangerous trap except in a monster house as there are more traps that can destroy your fallen held item. Thankfully, Alastor increased the durability of their held items so that explosions wouldn't destroy them.
"Where is it?"
"You mean this?"
"Oh thank you miss."
Phil can see his Detect Specs clearly but not the one who is giving it to him. As he wears the glasses, his vision becomes and he sees that the one helping him was,
"Snow!" Phil exclaimed.
Snow Crystal the Froslass of Team White-Silver is seen floating in front of Phil as she snickers.
"My Phil, I never expect you to fall for that trap and struggle to find your lost item."
"Hey, I'm nearsighted and can't see without my glasses."
"Yeah, I'm surprised that Alastor is able to turn your Detect Band into a pair of glasses."
Phil's Detect Specs used to be a Detect Band, however, Alastor is able to turn them into a pair of glasses. Just by using an X-googles and using the Detect Band's evasive maneuvers, Alastor turned it into a Detect Specs with a Salamencite on it. Detect Specs are more effective than a Detect Band.
"Yeah, Alastor is a smart guy."
"And handsome."
Phil grumbles.
"Snow, did you bring your keyboard with you?" Phil asked
"No, I dropped it by Wigglytuff's Guild." Snow answered. "Besides, Azelf will not be here since he has business to attend."
"What?"
"Yeah but he should be back here soon."
"Yes because I'll be pissed if he doesn't show up. The reason is because Droplet is from another world and I wanted to come with him." He then hears Snow laughing. "What?"
"But you did."
Phil looks embarrassed.
"Jeez, you're 22 years old and you still peed outside." Snow said
"It is just that I am scared to lose my glasses." Phil retorted. Now I look like Sky. I hate him.
The two made their way down the cave. The cave didn't changed for the past 9 years as the two walk down the path. When they arrived at the clearing, they found the place still the same as it was when they were still a Bagon and a Snorunt. The crystals around are still there and the incident with Grovyle stealing the Time Gears haven't destroyed them.
This is how Phil joined Team Elemental. He is a guardian of the Time Gear with Azelf since Azelf found him as an egg. Phil was born as a healthy baby Bagon, however, he was born nearsighted. Phil cannot see properly from birth and the only memories he had as a child is his time with Snow since the dungeon is an unfriendly place and his only friend there was Snow, who is also his rival. Phil is glad that he met Team Elemental as they are his family and friends.
Once the two reached Crystal Lake, Phil looks around and sees that Azelf is not around so he just materializes his console. Not only is Phil's hobby being an explorer but he is also a gamer.
"Hey Snow, do you know the game called 'Pokemon Megaheart: Souls of Liberation'?" Phil asked.
"Yeah, Ironstone and Mac always play that game during our break time." Snow answered.
"Have you tried playing it?"
"Well not yet, I think the game is for boys."
"But Flaire plays it. Hey, there's an Aegislash here."
Snow looked at Phil's gaming console and saw some Pokemon on the screen.
"I wonder why Ironstone and Mac often overreact when one of them uses what they call 'Type Burst Move'." Snow said.
"Those moves are instant kills, every character has one." Phil replied. "Some of them are really cool but there are some that are just weird or a…complete…overkill…"
The two became silent as Phil selects the game they were discussing.
Snow wonders about these Pokemon on the screen of how Phil, Ironstone and Mac describes them. They don't seem that threatening as they all looked young, except for that Charizard since he looks like he is on his thirties. The least threatening looking of the cast is the Salamence since he is very cute with the Chandelure behind since she looks cheerful and then the Ampharos. The other thing is that the eyes of some characters are different.
"I think you guys are just overreacting, the characters don't look that threatening…" Snow said.
"Just watch." Phil replied.
Several minutes later,
Phil resisted the urge to throw his device as he slops to the ground. The console resting in front of him with the screen displaying "Game Over" with a shattered sword embedded on the ground with a ribbon tied on the hilt and a broken chain on the ground.
"Ouch, hehehe, that was a lot of KOs." Snow said.
"Shut up, you don't know the pain of playing this game." Phil said. "A 2D fast-paced, side-scrolling, air dashing and intense fighting game."
Phil decided to quit the mode and decided to try the DLC he just bought, an Aegislash named Hexcalibur Pendragon. Phil decides to play Arcade Mode using him.
Phil defeated the first opponent while Snow watches him. This DLC character is a tactical-based character as you need to know when to switch his form of all defense or all attack. Snow notices Phil's eyes widening in horror when the arcade screen shows the next opponent's face.
"No…" Phil muttered. "No, no, no, not him!"
The next opponent is a Hydreigon named Xavier Drakus. Snow just stared at him confused as the vs display screen shows.
"What's with the look?" Snow asked. "I know you've been avoiding that character back in Ultimate Mode so why?"
"No, I can't fight him." Phil said as the match is about to begin.
"Come on, it is not like he is hard or-" Snow was cut off when Phil made Hexcalibur hit Xavier.
"Ah~!" The console's speaker boomed Xavier's moan of pleasure.
"That's the answer." Phil answered as he hits Xavier again that sent him flying as he screams, "So good!"
Phil became desperate as he finishes Xavier off with the first round. At the next round, Phil uses the Hidden Power Gauge to fill the Stamina Gauge and Heart Meter to maximum. Doing the input commands, Phil causes Hexcalibur to Mega Evolve. Once he Mega Evolves, Phil opens the command list for Hexcalibur to check more of his moveset and found the input for his Type Burst. The name of the move is called "Spectral Blade".
"Okay, got it." Phil said as he resumes the game and makes the inputs.
With that, the background shatters and went black.
"Souls release." Hexcalibur chanted.
The attack is a grab and it made contact with Xavier. At that moment, the game's background music changes into the game's opening's chorus.
"Exaudivit vocem meam!" Hexcalibur exclaimed as everything is engulfed by a bright light.
The game features an anime cinematic of Hexcalibur as he is surrounded by magic circles.
"O laminis honorem exaudi me." Hexcalibur chanted in a monotonous voice. "Te meus ut ad internecionem delere debemus qui lugent." Large swords went out of the circles.
"Sed ut feram mecum extinguere essentiam." Hexcalibur rose a hand as the swords went out of the magic circle. "Peribit!" He sent the swords falling to the screen.
The system made a slashing sound effect as everything went white. Then shows a text with the words that the announcer is saying,
"TYPE BURST FINISH!"
"Carla…" Xavier muttered weakly, when the attack connects.
The screen then shows Xavier lying down on the ground as Hexcalibur descends slowly on top of him.
"May your soul rest in peace." Hexcalibur said, placing a hand on Xavier's chest.
"Hexcalibur Pendragon win!" The announcer said.
"Wow, for someone who loves science and who is very cranky, he actually sounds like Mr. Fanservice's pride of honor personality." Phil said.
Snow looks astonished as she faces Phil. She cannot say anything as the attack is really creepy.
"Mr. Fanservice?" Snow exclaimed, that's the only thing she can say.
"That's the nickname I gave to Samuel Masamune." Phil answered.
"And why is that?"
"I think you should find out."
"In a later time my children."
Phil returns his game device to his interdimensional storage as he fixes specs.
A ball of light appeared in front of them as it materializes into a shape of a Pokemon. It was Azelf and he is carrying a book.
"Oh there you are old man." Phil said. "You made us wait for an hour so I decided to show Snow the game I've always played."
"Hehehe, is it an erotic one?" Azelf asked that made Phil's forehead bulge.
"NO IT IS A FIGHTING GAME WITH A MASOCHISTIC HYDREIGON!" Phil answered
"Alright, also now that you are here, can I ask you a simple request?"
"Yeah? Seriously, we came here for a visit and you want us to do something?"
"I humbly apologize. I want you to harvest some of the cave's valuable crystals since Wigglytuff requested some crystals for the play you'll be taking part in. 'Bah, hambag!'"
"Hey, that's my line!"
"Hehe, you may be the youngest member of Team Elemental but you still play as an old man."
Phil scrawls as he and Snow head back to get some crystals.
"Are you going to come with us?" Phil asked.
"No, I want to read this book Uxie gave me as an early Christmas gift." Azelf answered as he shows the book. "I'm really curious of what that mysterious man wants to do with Alicia. Also, make sure you harvested 20 pounds of crystals."
Phil saw the book that he immediately fled to a distance. A bottle of bleach materializes around his tail as he pours the contents on his face.
"Phil wait!" Snow screamed as she follows.
Azelf sighs and wonders why Phil is acting like this as he continues to read the book. The book is titled, "Nightshades of a Sableye".
"Oh, now she is wearing a latex suit." Azelf commented, burying his face into the book and blushing deeply. "This is exciting."
10:30
Crystal Cave
December 23, 20XX
"Draco Meteor!" Phil exclaimed as an orange ball appears in his mouth.
Firing the ball, it breaks into meteors that fall down as they hit several parts of the cave to break the crystals off of the walls but not destroying them completely since Phil uses the weaker version of Draco Meteor. Phil smiled at his accomplishment as he felt his power being drained.
"Damn, my Special Attack got lowered by two levels." Phil said.
"Wow, usually, Draco Meteor lowers your Special Attack once you used it." Snow commented in awe. "But, you used it differently as you can use it consecutively without having your Special Attack being lowered. Also, you have greater control over it."
"Oh, please, I'm better than Hydreigons." Phil boasted while internally, he is sweat dropping. I hope I never meet Xavier. He thought as he imagines Xavier's Type Burst.
Phil remembers Flaire facing Xavier in that game using Sky. Xavier, having more heads, trapping Sky with a cage from the combination of Dark Pulse and Dragon Pulse before flying to the sky. He then uses his heads to summon five magic circle with inscriptions "Apocalyptic Harbinger" written in Unknown scriptures around the circles' edges repeatedly. Those circles then summon a meteor storm to rain down over Sky, destroying the entire area into a blazing inferno.
Snow sighs as she uses Blizzard to freeze the surrounding rocks around the crystals.
"Give me a hand with this." Snow asked.
Phil uses Fire Blast to create some explosions to make the crystals fall to the ground. Once the two gather the crystals, Phil checks the time on his watch, it is 10:35.
"Well, we've been doing this for three hours already and we only harvested four pounds of crystals." Phil said as they sit down. "Man, I just wanted to talk with Azelf but he just made us harvest some crystals. Hey Snow, let's take a break."
Phil materializes two Huge Apples, giving the other to Snow. The two eat the apples quietly as Snow puts out a novel from her Treasure Bag and reads silently. The book she is reading is titled, "Expert's Guide for Keyboards".
Snow was almost finish with her apple when she hears Phil snickering.
"Oh yes." Phil muttered.
Snow stares at him, confused. Phil materialized his game console again and is staring too close to the screen.
Your eyes are going to get irritated by that. Snow thought.
Snow returns her novel back to her Treasure Bag as she moves to Phil's side.
"Hey Phil, what-?" Snow was cut off when she sees blood falling from Phil's nose. "Are you alright?"
"Oh, Kunoichi." Phil muttered.
Snow is a bit confused, she then stares at his console and sees why he was bleeding. Her eyes widened with horror at the sight.
There on the screen, is a surprised and embarrassed female Greninja. She is wearing a tight fit leather assassin's gear with daggers around the legs and waist (Katarina Du Couteau's outfit) with Palkia smiling while crossing his arms behind her.
"Phil?" Snow called.
…
…
…
…
…
…
Phil's nose shot a geyser of blood and fainted.
Snow sighed as she wonders about men being this immature when they see something attractive to females. Snow puts out a Reviver seed and places it on his back. Phil wakes up as he continues his playthrough.
"Man, Kunoichi's gag reel is just too fanservice and awesome." Phil commented before snorting.
"Is that game a Visual Novel or a Fighting Game?" Snow asked.
"Both."
"Oh goodness, I wonder about how your stay with Team Elemental made you weird."
"What? What makes you say that?"
"Because, the weirdest person I have ever met is definitely Droplet."
"Our leader?"
"Yes, do you remember when you trained us?"
This was the day when Team White-Silver are still apprentices of Wigglytuff's Guild for three months. Since before the incident with the Time Gears, apprentices aren't allowed to evolve on that day. However, once the incident and the mess with Darkrai were resolved by Team Elemental, apprentices are now allowed to evolve after three months if only their species can evolve or if they want to. However, since graduating from the exam requires going to Luminous Spring, teachers should be creative to not let apprentices know the spring's exact location.
The members of Team Elemental are teachers of the guild for some past time jobs if they aren't doing any missions or sentry duty. Today, they are allowing Team White-Silver evolve into their next stage. It is during this time when they've all reached their final form: Swampert, Blaziken, Armaldo and Salamence.
On the surface of Sharpedo's Bluff, Alastor is reading a book while Droplet assesses Team White-Silver: Aria, as a Togepi; Ironstone, as an Aron; Mac, as a Machop; and Snow, as a Snorunt.
"Okay, Alastor, what are the requirements for them to evolve?" Droplet asked.
"Aria needs to have a high IQ level, Ironstone should be at least at level 32, Mac should be at level 28 and Snow has two evolutions."
Droplet checks his tablet to see the stats of Team White-Silver.
"Hmm, seems like they've reached the required level Alastor." Droplet said. "Also, we do have a Dawn Stone with us. Why do we need it Alastor?"
"Well, because we need this for Snow." Alastor answered.
"For me?" Snow said.
"Yes." Alastor said. "Because-"
"Hey, what's up?"
Droplet, Alastor and Team White-Silver turn around to see a Salamence and a Blaziken approaching them.
"Oh hey Flaire and Phil." Droplet greeted.
"Hey there four-eyes." Snow greeted Phil.
Alastor coughed to get their attention.
"Well, like I was saying, Snow has two forms. She can either become a Glalie or a Froslass."
"So, what are the difference?" Snow asked.
"For a Glalie, your stats are pretty well balanced but you excel at none. For a Froslass, you'll receive a different typing as you'll become part Ghost, unlike the Glalie, your defenses decreases but you'll become faster."
"Well, that's a tough choice." Snow said. "Balanced but excel at none or squishier but faster."
"I guess you should turn into a Froslass." Phil advised. "Speed is better."
"Alright, like what four-eyes said, I'll choose to become a Froslass."
Alastor nods as he gives the Dawn Stone to Snow.
"So, what now?" Aria asked.
"Well, since going to Luminous Spring is dangerous for now, I have something that can be an alternative to evolution." Droplet said as he raises his left hand. "We'll do it with magic!"
A simple metal staff materializes around Droplet's hand as he twirls it around.
"This is the Mystifying Staff." Droplet said. "This staff contains the essence of Luminous Spring and it can allow Pokemon to evolve after answering the following questions:
'Do you seek evolution?' The answer for that question should be 'Yes' or 'No'.
'Is there an item you need?' The answer for that question should be 'Yes' or 'No', if you say yes, specify the item you need to use.
'Are you prepared?' This is the final question and the answer for that question should be 'Yes' or 'No'."
Following Droplet's instructions, Team White-Silver did as they were told. Once all of them are done, Droplet smiled as he twirls the staff around.
"Alright, here I go!" Droplet said while waving the staff with his left hand. "Heed me stars, let the eternity and life come to me. Flowers blossoms, the ever bright sun and the shinning moon. Time to evolve! Mystifying Staff go!"
Droplet then dances around awkwardly while waving his staff as his teammates and Team White-Silver look at him with confusion. He continues dancing for about two minutes and nothing is happening.
"Hey Mr. Mito." Aria said. "I'm not if this is a good idea." Droplet's eyes flicker sinisterly as his Speed Scarf materializes around his neck. "Is it re-"
SMACK!
In a blink of an eye, Droplet knocks all members of Team White-Silver unconscious by smacking them with the Mystifying Staff. As the team falls down, the other members of Team Elemental have their eyes completely white with their mouth agape.
The act Droplet did seems cruel. They just witnessed a large Swampert hitting a Togepi, a Machop, an Aron and a Snorunt with a staff. However, Team White-Silver's members aren't children anymore but are just in their early teens.
"Did you-" Flaire started.
"-just hit them-" Alastor continued.
"-with your staff?" Phil finished.
Droplet just stood up and smiled as he took out a recorder from the staff.
"I have their voices here, now time to carry them to Luminous Spring!"
The team look at their leader as they carry Team White-Silver to the direction of Luminous Spring. He appears to have hit his at some point.
Three months later,
Snow, now a Froslass, is floating around Treasure Town. Since her team is now in their second form while she is the only one who is fully evolved, Snow has the whole day for herself while her team is off to meet up with Team Elemental.
As she is sightseeing around town, she sees Team Elemental together with Team White-Silver.
"Alright, here I go!" she heard Droplet exclaim. "Heed me stars, let the eternity and life come to me. Flowers blossoms, the ever bright sun and the shinning moon. Time to evolve! Mystifying Staff go!"
Snow watches as Droplet does the same dance again. It seems true as Droplet makes the same steps from before. As Droplet dances, Snow sees that the other members of Team Elemental have a fearful look on their faces.
After a few moments, Droplet's Speed Scarf materializes and knocks Team White-Silver unconscious with his staff. Snow has her mouth agape as she watches her teammates fall to the ground unconscious.
"Great, now we should bring them to Luminous Springs." Droplet said as he carries Ironstone.
Snow was furious. Droplet lied about magic and the one he did isn't magic, he just beat them up.
"Hey Mr. Mito!" Snow shouted as she charges in front of Team Elemental. "What are you doing to my team?"
"Phil, go in front of her." Droplet commanded, ignoring Snow.
Phil complies and flies in front of Snow. Snow has a confused expression.
"Yes, why Dro-?"
SMACK!
Droplet hits both Phil and Snow with his staff that both of them were sent flying off to a distance with a twinkle. (AN: Phil and Snow are blasting off again! *Ting!*)
Once the two are gone, Droplet smiles at Alastor and Flaire.
"Froslasses only have heads as their body." Droplet explained. "The reason why I needed Phil is because I need something to send her flying without doing much damage. The one suitable for that is Phil, now let's go."
Droplet made his way while carrying Ironstone while Alastor, carrying Mac, and Flaire, carrying Aria, follow him.
"Did he hit himself upon waking up every three months?" Alastor asked.
"I think so." Flaire answered.
"Argh! Why does Droplet have to be this weird?" Snow commented. "I was unlucky when we were sent flying since you fell on top of me. It is a good thing you just landed on my body since on my head is what is lethal. Isn't that right Phil?"
Phil's mood immediately darkens.
"Snow, I like Droplet on how he is." Phil remarked darkly. "Snow, let's just separate to collect more crystals. Break time's over."
Without waiting for Snow to reply, Phil unfolded his wings and left.
Once he is out of sight, Phil bangs his head on the wall repeatedly and takes off his Detect Specs. Phil eyed the Salamencite on the glasses' right hinge.
He hated the power of Mega Evolution, sure it is very strong but it can also turn you insane. He'd seen other worlds have safer methods of Mega Evolving but others don't.
Some explorers prefer to use Z-moves more since Mega Evolution is very risky even though they are more powerful than Z-moves. However, Z-crystals are rarer than Megastones and they haven't found any Z-crystals for the following years in their days together. Even though Z-moves are safer, it still deals a devastating effect but has no side-effects that make a Pokemon insane.
Phil doesn't know why he still keeps the Megastone even though he hates it. This power, almost killed Droplet 8 years ago.
Droplet Mega Evolves into a Mega Swampert as he grips the wings of Phil as his feet made a large trail behind as he tries to calm Phil who used an unbalanced fusion of Mega Evolution.
It was just a normal day, Team Elemental was just training inside Marowak's Dojo when this happened. Phil foolishly used the power of Mega Evolution. Because of the transformation, Phil's strength is not balanced with the power the Megastone holds so he is now on a rampage.
When Phil Mega Evolved, Alastor received heavy damage when he protected Droplet and Flaire from Phil's rampage. Because of this, Alastor's health became very low that Droplet must Mega Evolve to protect Alastor and Flaire, Flaire is a glass cannon she can't survive a powerful hit from Phil. Right now, Flaire and Alastor are at the sidelines with Flaire supporting Alastor stand while Droplet tries to hold off Phil.
Droplet gritted his teeth as he dug his hands deeper to Phil's wings. The wing's sharp edges gave Droplet wounds on his palms. Phil's flight ended when he pushed Droplet for twenty meters.
"Phil, snap out of it!" Droplet called. "I know you can do it so please sto-"
SLASH!
Blood flew around the area as Flaire and Alastor stare in horror. Phil extended a claw and swipes Droplet's side, leaving a nasty gash on the side. Droplet gritted his teeth as he felt his blood flowing out of the wound Phil left behind.
"Please stop it Phil!" Droplet cried as blood went down his mouth.
Phil roared as he hits Droplet with his tail and sent him flying to a wall. Phil followed and pinned Droplet to the ground.
"I know you're there Phil." Droplet said. "I know you are strong and this power cannot control the Phil I know."
Phil roars again and stabs Droplet at the stomach. Droplet screamed with pain as Phil continues to dig deeper with the wound and play with his intestines.
"Come on, is the Phil I know?" Droplet screamed. "Phil is the guy who is arrogant, rash, know-it-all and strong. He is strong and powerful that he mastered Draco Meteor for a few days and-" Droplet coughed more blood that splattered Phil's face. "-a great friend…" with this, Phil's savage assault slowed as Droplet's conscious begins to fade. "You're a great friend, because you care for us deep inside. You just wanted to hide your weaknesses by acting tough, but you are a soft-hearted person Phil. My friend and a member of Team Elemental. Please Phil…stop…"
Droplet wipes Phil's blood stained face and spread some blood on his glasses as his hand falls to the ground. By that time, Phil's eyes returned to normal. Both of them returned to their normal form as Flaire and Alastor rushed to their side and used an Escape Orb.
Phil hated that day, after escaping the dungeon, Marowak was horrified when he saw Phil covered with blood and a severely wounded Droplet. Droplet was rushed to the hospital while Phil, traumatized by the attack, left the team. He cannot bear to stand Flaire's wrath and expelling him from Team Elemental.
During his exile, Phil spent his time crying and repeatedly apologizing to Droplet for what he did and how foolish and cocky he was when he used Mega Evolution that nearly killed him. His exile lasted for a long time, during that time, Phil became thin and weak as he has never eaten for the time being. He would've died if it weren't for the help of Grovyle who returned from the future to the present.
"Oh, hello there Phil." A voice called.
Phil returns his glasses, turns around and sees a female Sceptile watching him. Beside her are a Charizard, a Houndoom and a Lucario. The members of the Expedition Society and a team that rivals Team Elemental's power: Team Force.
"Hello Liliana, Marco, Darkfire and Aurelius." Phil said, greeting the Sceptile, Charizard and Lucario by name respectively.
These Pokemon are involved with the Dark Matter incident. The leader of this team is Marco, like Droplet and Axle, a human turned Pokemon. The team's status as heroes are not that popular like Axle's and Droplet's team
"Good to see you Mr. Crystal." Darkfire greeted.
"I see that the Megastone Droplet found still troubles you." Aurelius said. "I can sense it through your heart, after 9 years, you still hold that anger towards Mega Evolution."
"I know, I hate this Megastone." Phil said, tears falling down his eyes. "I never wanted to kill Droplet but I almost did years ago that I almost wanted to kill myself."
Liliana snickered as she approaches Phil.
"Dear Salamence, please calm down." She said. "There is no need to dwell in the past. We should look toward the future."
Phil stopped as he smiles at her. Liliana has taken this motherly personality from her adoptive father, Carracosta, so only a few words from her can calm him down. Carracosta is a chef that rivals Droplet in cooking and is a strict but kind parent. Liliana also has a tendency to scold others for almost a week that will make Carracosta proud. When Azelf is not around, Liliana is there to comfort him.
"Hehe, you're a big baby Phil." Liliana said. "Just like that Salamence from that game."
When she said this, Phil scrawled.
"Hey, I am two hundred-percent better than that Salamence!" Phil said. "I am also handsomer, bigger and smarter than him."
"Hey Marco, why does he hate that character?" Darkfire asked Marco.
"Well-"
"Damn it Flaire!"
Phil always gets his butt beaten by Flaire. Since Flaire mains Sky, Phil received a phobia of:
Sky wagging his tail as he smiles and playfully follows it around like a dog, after a while, Sky stops to stare at the opponent and blows a raspberry.
A cute, doggy, small and powerful Pokemon of his species doing that while Flaire rubs it on his face. His worst nightmare.
"Flaire always kick my ass in that game." Phil said. "She also uses that Salamence as her main…his puppy eyes, gah!"
"Hehe, we might as well help you with your errands." Liliana requested.
"Thanks, Azelf is back at the lake reading an erotic novel." Phil said. "Why did someone had to make a story of the book that frightens majority of the cast of Pokemon Megahearts?"
Liliana smiles as she waves for her companions to follow.

Crystal Crossing
December 23, 20XX
Darkfire helped by burning the crystals to a high temperature so that they can break off. Once heat, Marco helped in removing the crystals from the wall while Liliana and Aurelius helped in collecting them with Phil sorting out the crystals. Right now, they have collected half of the required crystals needed.
Phil looks at the damaged area. He seems very sad that some crystals are gone, even though the crystals here grow back faster than a second, he somehow relates about the part being removed and replaced since he remembers how he left Azelf and be with Team Elemental. He is also sad when he almost killed Droplet even though Flaire and Alastor forgave him.
After the Dark Matter incident, time resets when that happened because of having the Spacial Guardians involved. So everyone lost their memories except for the survivors. Phil was the only one who remembered the incident since he is the sole survivor of Team Elemental when they vainly protected Palkia, seeing his friends die in front of him, seeing everything gets destroyed and the feeling hopelessness. However, he still called out after he was empowered by everyone's will to help Marco and Liliana stop Dark Matter.
Phil is dozing off when a large crystal fell on his head.
"OW!" Phil exclaimed.
Marco apologized and took the crystal from his head.
"Wow, you're really strong there." Marco commented. "I'm surprised you're able to endure the attack without getting dizzy. Other Salamences cannot even take that kind of blow."
Once he said that, Phil turned to Liliana.
"Hey, Liliana." Phil called.
"Yes?" Liliana said as she stops what she was doing.
"I want something to ask of you…can you teach me, how to control my Mega form?"
With this statement, Liliana's eyes widened.
"Really?" she exclaimed. "But I don't know if I can let you do this. You-"
"I want to be strong." Phil interrupted as tears fall down his eyes. "I want to be strong…I was weak when I tried to protect Palkia that it failed and ended up killing Droplet and the others. Axle quoted this he got from a movie 'Great power comes from great responsibility.' I believe that I need to take on this responsibility. I took Palkia's responsibility of being a Spacial Guardian and now I can think I can bear this power that I once hate."
Liliana stares into Phil's eyes, they are determined.
Phil is someone who talks rash, sometimes arrogant, clumsy and silly. By heart, he has a heart of gold; caring, kind and supportive. Liliana smiled as she tells her teammates to surround Phil like the edges of a rectangle.
"Alright Phil, tap your Megastone and Mega Evolve." Liliana said. "Show us the power of a Spacial Guardian."
With that, Phil taps the Megastone and let its power be with one with him. With that, Phil is engulfed by a sphere before it shatters to reveal Phil as a Mega Salamence. The Detect Specs didn't disappear as they remained intact to Phil's eyes with only the Megastone missing. Team Force stood their ground as they also use their respective Megastones.
Phil stood strong and intimidating for a split second before he feels his head aching. Phil feels the sharp pain of Mega Evolution reacting within his brain. This pain hurts as if a large ship hits you at the head. This pain was felt during the incident that led Droplet fall into a nine months coma. With that, Phil let out a loud cry.
"Now!" Liliana called out as Team Force uses their respective Megastones.
As Phil screeches, Team Force focused their power to their hands as they form a rectangle around Phil. Phil feels his limbs and tail getting longer and his wing detaching to form regular wings. Finally, the pain in his head subsided as he pants for breath.
Phil opens his eyes to see that he is in his regular form. He is surrounded by the concurrent forces of Mega Evolution with the multi-colored aura changing from time-to-time. Phil looks around and sees a Mega Salamence in front of him, snarling. He realized that this Mega Salamence is himself, the Detect Specs was the proof of this Mega Salamence being him.
"Phil, for you to obtain the power of Mega Evolution." Liliana called. "You must prove that you are stronger than your Mega self. Defeat him."
Phil stands his ground, it is a good thing he drank a Max Elixir juice before asking Liliana about this so he has no worries of unable to use moves at the middle of the battle.
"Also, remember the rules Droplet did when he faced his Mega form." Marco called.
Right. Phil thought. First, you cannot use items nor Exclusive Items; second, you can only use equipment; third, you can't have assistance; fourth, you can only do this once per Megastone; the copy will try to…kill, you so be careful. The word "kill" scared Phil. Lastly, you can only…what is it?
With that, Phil's copy tucks his forelegs inside the metal bracers on the chest as he charges at Phil. Phil unfolds his wings and jumped to the air to evade the attack and counters with a Dragonbreath. The attack connects and sends Phil's copy to the ground.
The attack didn't faze the copy a bit but it gave Phil enough time to use a Dragon Claw. As Phil nears his copy, the copy rose and blocked the attack with his wings. Phil snarled as the copy blew Phil by using his wings. Phil flew to the sky with the copy trailing behind. Phil sees the copy flying.
Phil, remember what Alastor said. Phil thought. I wish I focused when he was teaching us about Megas…hold on, Mega Salamences have better Defense than their Special Defense. That's it!
Phil flips around and fires a Dragonbreath attack. However, the copy dodges it and hits Phil with a Dragon Rush. The attack knocked the air out of Phil's lungs before he gasps for breath. The attack sends Phil plummeting to the ground.
Just before he hits the ground, Phil flapped his wings to break his fall.
I forgot about their speed! Phil thought. Arceus dammit Phil!
Phil sees the copy flying to him as it fires a Dragonbreath. Phil dodges to the side as he makes a run for it.
"Dragon Pulse is a stronger version of Dragonbreath". Droplet said. "However, it has a shorter range than the latter and causes a knockback. So close ranged battle and getting distance is recommended for Dragon Pulse."
Following Droplet's advice, Phil propels himself as he blasts a Dagon Pulse at the copy for a boost. Phil then flies up as he fires another Dragonbreath at the copy and it connects this time as the attack from earlier put him in a daze.
Drat, it didn't paralyzed him. Phil thought.
After the copy composes himself, he then snarled and followed Phil with a Dragon Claw. Phil reacted by using a Dragon Claw.
I used three moves already. Phil said. I need to-
Phil then remembers the last rule. "You only can use four moves."
Phil's eyes widened before using Dragon Pulse to propel himself back and blasting the copy. Three moves are used, he should save the last slot for a move he needs to use.
I'm stuck using these moves. Phil thought as he watches the copy getting closer. Those attacks barely dented him!
Phil uses Dragon Claw to block the attack as he thinks that the last move he needs to use is his favorite move, Draco Meteor.
Using Dragon Pulse, Phil propels himself as he prepares Draco Meteor.
"This should do the trick." Phil said as his mouth is filled with an orange ball. "Draco Meteor!"
He then shoots the ball out of his mouth to the sky and it explodes into orange meteors. The chunks hit the copy as it snarls and falls to the ground, creating a cloud f dust from the crater. Phil landed on the ground with a smirk.
"Well, I guess that's it." Phil said. "It didn't last that long than I expected."
Marco can tell that there was a blur. He then realizes that the blur was a Mega Salamence.
"Phil!" Marco called that catches Phil's attention. "Watch-!"
The copy strikes Phil at the face, sending blood flying to the air as his Detect Specs' hinges fly out of his temples and land in front of Liliana.
"Phil!" Liliana cried as Phil crashes to the ground.
"Liliana don't leave your place!" Aurelius cried. "If you do, you might damage Phil's brain and break his Megastone."
Liliana stares at him as she worriedly stares at Phil.
"Phil..."
Phil staggers as he stands up and opens his eyes. Everything is blurry because he isn't wearing his glasses. Phil hears the snarl of the copy from above as he prepares an attack.
It is hard for me to fight when I cannot use my abilities as a Spacial Guardian. Phil thought. So hard…I can only use Dragonbreath, Dragon Pulse and Dragon Claw. I wonder about what my friends are doing.
In his sub consciousness, Phil reflects about how his friends fight.
Droplet is a ranged fighter, Flaire is the one who gets up close and beat the shit out of people and Alastor is a tank with a big brain. I wonder how they mostly use their Spacial powers? They don't use it often but I…!
Phil is the only member of Team Elemental who always depend on that power. Droplet, Flaire and Alastor use that power often but not too much but Phil always depend on it.
I am weak? Phil thought sadly. Droplet, Flaire, Alastor…they never use it too much, unlike me…
Phil watches as his copy approaches him with Dragon Rush. It is blurry but he can see the blurry outlines of a dragon.
Am I gonna die? Phil thought.
"Here you go Phil." Alastor, as an Anorith, said as he places a pair of glasses on Phil's temples. "There we go."
Phil is still a Bagon on this time with Droplet and Flaire still being a Mudkip and a Torchic, respectively. They just finished a job with a Detect Band as a reward and won a prize from the ruffle. The prize was an X Googles. It was two days after the attack at Crystal Cave, the team was defeated by Grovyle while Dusknoir is on the case to capture him. During the time, the team saved a Bagon named Phil Crystal who is the adopted son of Azelf. The Bagon was mortally wounded so the team recruited him to save his life.
After then, Phil was adamant to wanting to stay with the team since he wants to help Azelf. However, Alastor disagreed when he recognizes Phil near-sightedness, meaning it will just throw his life away if he still persist without proper training with his condition. So to help him, Team Elemental used the days they have to get him the Detect Specs.
Phil wore the glasses as Alastor raised a claw.
"How many fingers do I have?" Alastor asked.
"…None, you just have a pair of pincers." Phil answered.
"Correct, so what are the Pokemon you can see inside the cafe?"
"An Anorith, that is you Alastor; a Mudkip, Droplet; a Torchic, Flaire; a Spinda; a Wynaut; a female Wabbuffet; a Slakoth; an Octilliery; a Mr. Mime; a Zigzagoon; a Heracross; a Zangoose; a Sneasel; a Togepi; a Ladyba; and a Politoad."
Even though they cannot see his mouth, Alastor smiled. Phil gasped as he cried tears of joy because of being able to see clearly. Team Elemental stands together as they watch Phil smile.
"Well, great job Alastor." Droplet said. "You surely did a-"
Droplet was cut off when Phil suddenly hugged them. Phil is crying tears of joy.
"Thank, thank you!" Phil exclaimed. "I'll join the team, as thanks. My friends."
No! Phil thought. I don't want to die!
With that, Phil waited for the copy to approach him within twenty centimeters before he rolls to the side before propelling himself by hitting the copy with a Dragon Pulse.
"Phil!" Liliana called. "That's enough!"
"No, I'm still not done." Phil replied. "I have to prove that I am strong." He thinks about his friends. "I want to be strong, just like them."
The copy shrugs the debris surrounding him as he chases Phil. Phil senses the Mega Salamence approaching him since despite his near-sightedness, he has a good sense of hearing and heard the winds blowing to signal the Mega Salamence approaching, so he did a barrel roll to evade the Dragon Claw attack and countered using Dragonbreath. The attack connects that the copy yelled.
The paralysis effect happened. Phil thought. Good timing!
The copy then snarls as he uses a Dragon Claw at Phil with Phil parrying. The copy then uses his other claw as Phil parries again, the lower claws with Phil parrying again and lastly the tail being parried with his own tail. Right now, both combatants are locked with their parry. Phil was able to sense attacks faster because of the paralysis slowing down
"If nothing can be used." Phil said, remembering Flaire. "Use your-" he then headbutts the copy, "-HEAD!"
"Is that a move?" Marco said.
"…No, just fighting instincts." Aurelius said.
"But, there is Headbutt."
"Headbutt with a small 'h'."
"Uh, how do you know it is not a capital H."
"I don't know." A cloud of an Aggron smirking can be seen in Aurelius'. "I think an Aggron told me in my head."
Isaac!
Phil's attack made the copy stumble as Phil proceeds to slap the copy with his tail. He went to a distant that the whole battlefield became blurry to his vision. He was far from the range of his nearsightedness. Phil remembers what Alastor told him, Draco Meteor can be perfectly accurate if you can channel your power to concentrate the meteors to hit the desired target. You can be accurate even when you're blind.
"I know that you're strong me." Phil said. "I may be weak, but I have friends who trust me. I will defeat you me!" Phil charges an orange ball from his mouth. "Draco Meteor!"
With that, the ball went out of his mouth and was sent to the air. There it exploded into orange meteors to fall over Phil's copy.
The copy tried to evade the attack but the meteors are coming to the copies direction and hit their mark. The copy screeched in pain as the attack plummets him to the ground creating numerous explosions. Phil continued using his attack until he felt fatigue overcoming him so he stopped.
The attack he used cost too much of his energy. He has to thank Alastor for teaching him how to use Draco Meteor without glassing and without missing. Still, he felt his blood slipping from his head as he stares at the crater where his opponent is lying. On the crater was a Mega Salamence standing.
"What?" Aurelius said. "That attack didn't stop him."
Phil just smirked. As the copy walks out of the crater, he collapses. Phil laughed.
"Hehe, I guess you still hold that side of not showing your soft side." Phil commented. "I guess you and I aren't different after all."
After finishing that line, Phil wobbled and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Phil!" Team Force cried as they rushed to Phil's side.
16:15
Crystal Crossing
December 23, 20XX
Phil slowly opens his eyes as he surveys the area. He was still in the place where he faced his copy. He can see his Detect Specs lying in front of him and the wound he received on his forehead is covered with some bandages.
Liliana is also a good medic and Aurelius is a good healer. With those two combined, Phil doesn't need to worry of getting terrible scars on his "handsome" face. He got to thank them for that.
"Oh you're awake." Marco said. "How was your wound?"
Phil cannot see Marco's face so he took his Detect Specs and placed it on his eyes so that he can see clearly. Marco and the others are still here. Phil wonders why Liliana is more responsible than Marco.
"Fine I guess." Phil answered as he tried to get up. "It doesn't hurt that much and-OW!"
"Phil, you hurt your feet." Liliana reminded. "You had a small treatable injuries at the limbs during the battle."
"So, how was the result?" Phil asked.
"Well…" Aurelius muttered. "You failed." Everyone glared at him. "What? I was joking."
"To tell the truth, you passed." Darkfire said, glaring at Aurelius. "Aurelius is just messing with you."
"Heh, it's alright Darkfire." Phil said. "I always messed with Flaire since she's my friend."
"Aside from that Phil, you did demonstrate a great determination." Marco stated. "This is the only way you can control your Mega form, I'm sorry there was no other way but this is the only way a Pokemon to have a balanced fusion of Mega Evolution."
"Well, it's alright Marco." Phil said. "Like what Droplet said, 'No pain, no gain.'"
After a few seconds, Liliana checks Phil's legs.
"They're healed." Liliana said as she unwraps the bandages. "Please, try to use this power."
Phil complies and taps the Megastone on his Detect Specs. The power of Mega Evolution envelopes him through the form of a sphere before it shatters, revealing Phil as a Mega Salamence.
Phil waits for the worst, but it didn't happen, he still feels he is still in his Mega form.
"I, I can Mega Evolve!" Phil shouted as he flies around in his new form before-
BAM!
Team Force cringed when Phil accidentally himself into a stalactite.
"Ouch." Marco muttered.
"I hope he doesn't kill it." Darkfire said, worried to the living being that can be killed by touch.
Later,
Phil smiles at Team Force after he gathered the crystals.
"Thank you so much Team Force." Phil said.
"Yeah, it is for us to make up for what our son almost did to you when you were still a Bagon."
"Yeah, I never knew I get to see Grovyle's mother, father and godfathers from the past." Phil said.
"Also young Salamence." Liliana said as she takes out a box from her satchel. "These are for you."
Phil looked at her with confusion as he accepted the box. Upon opening it, his eyes widened at the sight.
Inside the box are eight crystals with varying colors. Phil can tell that each crystals symbolize the types of Team Elemental, namely; blue for Water, light brown for Ground, red for Fire, Fighting, Rock, Bug, Dragon and Flying. Z-crystals.
Phil smiled as he places the box in his interdimensional storage.
"Thank you Lilia-" Phil started when Team Force is nowhere to be found. He then smiled "Merry Christmas…"
Phil made his way to meet up with Snow. Gathering the crystals together, they've collected enough crystals Azelf requested them to collect.
"Hey Phil." Snow called.
"Yes?" Phil replied.
"About a while ago, I'm sorry if I hurt you."
Phil replied with a smile. "It's okay Snow, I should have gotten over it and move on. I just can't dwell on the past."
"And, you forgot this." Snow reaches for her Treasure Bag and puts out Phil's gaming console.
"Thanks." Phil said as he takes his console back.
"That game…is interesting."
Phil wonders what she meant when he opens his console. Once he did, his eyes widened.
"What?" Phil exclaimed. "I used to have 200,453,231 points but now I just have 4,123,212 points left." Phil then eyed Snow suspiciously. "What did you do?"
"Uh, I just checked the gallery." Snow said while blood seeps down her nose. "I never thought a Swampert, a Sceptile, an Aggron, a Samurott, a Typhlosion and a Hydreigon can be that hot."
Phil opens Gallery Mode and checks the game's artwork. He scrolls down to the additional artwork.
Phil saw that some of them were used to be locked were now unlocked. Mostly, the artworks are majority of the male cast posing attractive poses. They certainly look attractive as Snow said.
"DID YOU WASTE SOME OF MY POINTS WITH SOME FANSERVICE ARTWORK?!" Phil questioned loudly.
"I just can't help myself, the artwork are so attractive. Those muscles and looks…I didn't play it too much unlike you."
"Oh hahaha!" Phil then looks at the crystals gathered. "Objection! The crystals we harvested are just the ones I harvested." Phil then slams the floor with his forelegs and points his left claw at Snow. "You played the game the entire time!"
"AAAAHHHHHH!" Snow screamed in shock as she was taken a back. "Y-yeah…my hands hurt using Earwyn…"
I gotta hand to that game I stole from someone from another world. Phil thought. I always wanted to do that. Visual Novels for the win!
16:45
Crystal Lake
December 23, 20XX
Phil and Snow made their way back to meet up with Azelf. Azelf was glad that they are able to do the task since there are not that much explorers going to the cave to harvest the excess crystals. Azelf requests the two to bring the crystals back to Treasure Town.
"Sure thing." Phil said.
"Thank you." Azelf said. "You've grown a lot since I last met you my son. I thank Team Elemental for that."
"Yeah, thanks…dad."
Azelf then said his goodbye before teleporting away.
It was nearly five when they reached Crystal Crossing before exiting it. It is getting dark as Phil checks the sky.
"Hey Snow." Phil said as he taps the Salamencite. "Wanna ride?"
Snow was surprised when Phil Mega Evolves. Right now, she is staring at a Mega Salamence.
"Phil, how can you-"
"Mega Evolve better?" Phil finished. "I got help from some friends of mine. Just some things and there. I can now be a Mega Salamence all I want."
Snow snickers and rides on Phil's back.
"Come on Crescent Boy, let's go." Snow said.
Phil tucks his fore legs in and takes off. Phil is flying at blistering speed with Snow holding tight.
"Anyway Phil, do you know how to use Earwyn?" Snow asked.
"Ask Droplet on that." Phil answered. "I'm a Christopher and Carla main. Using Earwyn makes your hands hurt because of his complicated fighting style. I wonder why they made him like that since he is the protagonist of the game."
The two continued their way to Treasure Town as they discussed the game Phil is talking about.
"Also, remember to be careful when you reached Isaac's gag reel on the first game." Phil said. "He broke the fourth wall and talked to the game's creator. He also asked him to place the TM45 to the game's system. Also, that TM is coated with Shiny Shuckle juice and you know what happens?"
"No." Snow answered.
"Every male characters of the game lost their personalities and fell in love with Isaac."
"What?!"
"I know, disturbing right? I got nightmares when I saw Xavier in a latex suit, his mouths gagged and also wanting to be tortured by Isaac. The second game is the opposite, this time, all females fell in love to Isaac. Grace, a dandere; Carla, a deredere; Sylvia, a himedere; Kunoichi, a kuudere; Lora, an undere; Kyogre, a tsundere; and Cresselia, a mayadere. Grace is creepy when she became part yandere. I wonder what will happen in the third game, maybe it will become a parody of Total Drama Island I guess."
The two talked more as Phil wonders where Team Force are.
16:25
Crystal Crossing
December 23, 20XX
Phil is checking the Z-crystals when a large figure appears behind Aurelius. The figure is holding a frying pan. The figure knocks out Team Force by hitting them on the head with the frying pan. Because of that, the Mystery Dungeon teleports them out and leaves behind some items. The figure collects the items before using an Escape Orb before Phil can notice their disappearance.
16:30
Crystal Crossing's Entrance
December 23, 20XX
Team Force wakes up to see an angry Carracosta.
"You kids should know that you are twenty milliseconds late from the time I told you when you should get back." Carracosta scolded.
"Sorry dad." Liliana apologized.
"Sorry? Sorry isn't enough young lady." Carracosta then stares at the others. "Also, you boys! You should know that-"
Carracosta continues scolding them as Liliana smiles at her father's bickering. Once it is done, Liliana takes out a Warp Orb.
"Dad, I think we should go back to Jewel City." Liliana said.
"Yeah, a place where I can continue reprimanding these two dogs." Carracosta said signifying Aurelius and Darkfire.
Liliana smashes the Warp Orb as they teleport and are now in front of Ruby Hotel. The group chose a room to stay overnight. After checking in, Marco and Liliana went to the rooftop as Carracosta scolds Aurelius and Darkfire. Carracosta even said not to do the thing again when they did once already. The two blushed as they made their way to the rooftop. While overlooking the city, the two spotted a group of Pokemon going out of Salazzle's Spa. The two immediately notice the Blaziken of the group.
"Hey Liliana." Marco said. "Is that her?"
"Yes, that Blaziken is Flaire Homura." Liliana said as she holds her chest. "Ms. Homura, thank you for taking care of my son's partner. Merry Christmas."
Inside their room, Darkfire is taking care of an egg, an egg of a Treecko.
Fun Fact: Phil's name is derived from the name of Oliver's best friend from Ni No Kuni, Phillip, I was thinking over that game when I got a Bagon, and his surname comes from his relationship with Azelf. Phil happens to be the weakest member of my team but he is still strong to defeat numerous opponents with his Draco Meteor and my strongest support. I added that to his character and I made him a gamer. The little scene with him and Snow is a reference to Ace Attorney by Capcom.
My head hurts during the weeks, suffering from writer's block and stressed out with school work. I felt a bit sick for the past days and school just started last January 16. Sorry if it was very, very, very late. I also don't have that much knowledge of the story of Super Mystery Dungeon so this part will be updated when I played Super Mystery Dungeon. I have to update the other chapters so that the timeline makes sense. Also, each of my teams have a distinct name for each:
Team Valiant: All members are brave and are full of justice.
Team Elemental: All members match the four elements that reflect their personalities
Team Jubilant: Primrose's dream is to create Pokemon Paradise and to make everyone happy. Axle is a jolly Haxorus.
Team Force: Relation to aura and Mega Evolution.
Team White-Silver: Color of the members, Mac is grey that matches the color Silver.
That gag reel is inspired by Noel's Death Dinner from Blazblue. I'll be writing Megahearts after finishing this story. I hate making the Pokemon version of Fifty Shades of Grey…the book is a running gag of Megahearts. Unofficial Megas will appear in that story and it takes place in the main series' world parallel to my PMD story. Hexcalibur talks in Latin when he executes that attack but the translation of the line is different from what I made it to be before translating it back. He also hates his name…TM45 and my persona's name is just a coincidence.
TM45: Attract
I know that capitalizing is only use for proper nouns and I know Pokemon species names are common nouns but every dex entries use the species name as proper nouns. I don't know if I should decapitalize the species' name.
Can you guys guess what my favorite Pokemon is? Also, who is your favorite member of Team Elemental? Who is your favorite character outside Team Elemental?
