Now, here's another section taken out of the Unova chapters - and there are Pokemon speaking in it, and I meant for it to be underlined, but for some reason I can't get all of the text to work with me on that. So...yeah.
White Kyurem vs. Maria
Maria strode into the cave, Emerald slithering along nervously beside her.
"It's so cold," the Serperior hissed softly.
"I know," Maria responded. "Kyurem is just up ahead. He's generating all this cold...and I'm going to fight him."
Emerald looked at her Trainer in surprise. "You? Fight a Legendary? But what about the rest of us? Zan-zan could certainly-"
"He's part Ground, and that's going to give Kyurem the edge it needs - the Pokemon probably knows Glaciate by now." Maria stopped at the back of the cave, where another entrance had been carved into the rock, leading even deeper into the side of the chasm. "I'm not going to put you guys in jeopardy just because one Legendary needs to be stopped. I can handle this."
Emerald gave her Trainer a funny look. "And how are you going to manage that?"
"I have my ways." Maria peered into the cavern, catching sight of the icy dragon and its master. "I'm going to let everyone out, but I'm counting on you and Luke to make sure that they stay back and don't try to fight this for me." Once Emerald had nodded, Maria reached for her PokeBalls and called out her Pokemon: Luke (Lucario), Amp (Ampheros), Zan-zan (Flygon), Stoutland, and Mary (Azumaril).
Most of the Pokemon looked at the Trainer in confusion, but Luke had a look in his eye and meant he understood the situation.
"You're going to fight him yourself, aren't you?" the Lucario inquired.
Maria nodded as the other Pokemon looked on in shock.
"Why?" Mary asked. "Maria, you could get yourself killed!"
"I'm not that kind of human," Maria responded. "You remember how I told you guys about what I did before I became a Trainer?" There were a few nods from the Pokemon. "Well, not all of it was left in my Vulpix form." A fireball suddenly materialized in one hand, causing the Pokemon to jump back in alarm. "Trust me, guys - I can handle the ice dragon. We'll be fighting Ghestis together as soon as I'm done, so watch out." With that, Maria turned and strode into the cave, her team not too far behind.
"Well, well, if it isn't the little brat from Asperita," Ghestis noted as Maria approached.
"And if it isn't the hot head from Plasma." Maria stopped not too far away from Kyurem and looked the dragon over. "You didn't hunt down this dragon the first time. Why hold it off until now?"
"Those two brats with the other dragons have made it hard for me to work in secret," Ghestis hissed in response. "Now that they're in an entirely different region, I can fulfill my plans, and you can be removed from my sight! Kyurem, Glaciate!"
The ice dragon let out a roar in response, and the temperature seemed to drop by twenty degrees as ice crystals started to hover above Maria's head. Emerald was about to lunge forward to take the blow, but Luke held her back, shaking his head.
Maria smirked. "That is nothing." Slowly, the temperature around her started to rise, and a white aura seemed to come into existence around her. "Here we go! White Flare!"
There was an explosion of heat and fire as Maria unleashed everything she had, completely melting Glaciate and doing major damage to the ice dragon, as well. This left her, however, kneeling on the ground with very little energy.
Ghestis stared at Maria in shock. "What are you? Reshiram in human form?!"
Maria let out a harsh laugh. "Me? A Legendary? You have got to be kidding! I'm only a Vulpix, you green-haired ninny, but I have friends who are Legendaries." A shadow appeared overhead, and she looked up, the Trainer's eyes sparking with delight. "There's Reshiram!"
The white dragon let out a roar in response to Maria's call as it landed beside the Trainer. A familiar, green-haired teenager leapt off the dragon's back. His eyes were wide with surprise.
"You're Maria?" the teen asked. "The Trainer Black told me about?"
Maria smiled weakly up at the boy. "Yeah, that's me. You're N, right?"
N nodded. "What was that just now? How could you a human do something like that?"
"I was turned into a Vulpix six years back," Maria explained with a half-truth. "Some of it stuck with me, even after Palkia changed me back." She started to get up, but Reshiram stopped her.
"You are weak from that attack," the Legendary murmured. "Allow me to replenish what you lost." Within seconds, Maria felt her strength returning by what she suspected was a Heal Pulse.
"Careful," the Trainer warned. "Kyurem wasn't taken out by White Flare. And Ghestis hasn't even sent out his team yet."
"I won't have to," the Plasma member retorted. He threw something at Kyurem, yelling, "Now! The DNA Splicers!"
Maria let out a growl as N looked on in shock. "I really should have tried harder to go after the Shadow Triad..."
"Reshiram, move quickly!" N called out. "Those DNA Splicers-"
"I know." The white dragon took off, watching Kyurem as the ice dragon got ready to attack. "Just try to come and get me!"
Maria blinked in surprise at the outburst as she got up from the ground. "Is Reshiram normally like that?"
"Only if he knows something..." N watched his Pokemon as it spiraled out of the way of the energy beams Kyurem was sending out. "How was it that you became a Pokemon?"
"Long story short, I came from the future with a Grovyle to keep time from stopping. On our way through a Passage of Time, Darkrai attacked us in order to try and stop us. I took the hit, and next thing I knew, I was a Vulpix without any memory of my past. I got it all back when I took out Team Galactic with a few friends of mine." Maria's fists clenched as Reshiram was cornered and taken by the energy beams. "O.K. Things are only going to get tougher from here."
N looked from Kyurem - which was now glowing brightly - to Maria. "What do you mean?"
"Where I come from, we can watch these events as though they were games. I know what's going to happen here from word of mouth through friends, and I know exactly how to stop it." Maria stepped forward as the light faded, revealing a conglomeration of Kyurem and Reshiram. "When I beat it, the two Legendaries will separate. Don't worry about your friend; he will be fine."
N gave Maria a look of confusion, then stepped back and went over to Maria's Pokemon to ask them a few questions about their Trainer.
Maria glared at Kyurem. "O.K. No going back." She cloaked herself in fire and dashed forward. "Flame Charge!"
The human slammed into the Pokemon's right leg, causing it to let out a shriek and go down as Maria circled back.
"I'm going to need the speed boost," she muttered under her breath. A moment later, a red staff with the head of what appeared to be the Pokemon known as Moltres (but wasn't quite) appeared in her hands. "Let's go! Thunderbolt!" She slammed her staff into the ground, causing branches of electricity to come out and snake across the cave floor, working their way up Kyurem's form.
The strange conglomeration between Kyurem and Reshiram let out a low growl and shook off the electricity, then started to get up from its kneeling position, glaring at Maria as though she was nothing more than an insect to be squished. The Trainer, taking note of this, stuck her tongue out at the Pokemon in defiance, a grin appearing on her face soon afterwards.
"You couldn't hit the broadside of a barn," Maria taunted as she started to run around the giant Pokemon, her staff charging up for another electric blast. "If we were fighting on the other side of the world? Maybe. But then again, I'd have a whole lot of X-Eye and Reviver Seeds to keep me up and running." She laughed, delighted as Kyurem let of a roar in response to her statement.
A mere moment later, a serious look came over her face as she saw the fiery sphere that the Pokemon was charging up. "Let's see how you handle this! Thunder!"
The electric blast flew up at Kyurem's head as it blasted a Fusion Flare in her direction before she could even move. The attack soon enveloped her as the staff disappeared.
"Yes!" Ghestis crowed, grinning wickedly. "A thorn in my side is no more!"
"I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you," called out a telepathic voice in response. As the fiery sphere started to shrink around Maria's form, everyone looked at Luke as he continued, "There is more to Maria than what initially meets the eye."
"You got that right, Luke!" There was a shockwave of fire that blasted away the remains of the attack, revealing Maria standing on the cave floor with what appeared to be an aura of fire around her.
"Hey, Ghestis, do you want to know what Pokemon I turned into?" Maria called out. "I was a Vulpix before I was a Trainer." She grinned. "Flash Fire's up and active."
"Impossible!" the leader of Team Plasma argued. "Kyurem has Turboblaze! You should be unable to use any abilities!"
"I had fire abilities long before I was a Vulpix, you cape-wearing freak. As I am a human, some things aren't as restricted by rules as you're used to." Maria winked, then turned her attention to Kyurem. "And now for the grand finale! White Flare: Overcharge!"
This time, the white fire didn't come out as tendrils: it came out as a white wave that crashed into Kyurem, who let out an ear-piercing shriek as it collapsed as the move slammed into him.
The fire disappeared as quickly as it had come, leaving Maria standing on her own two feet, but panting heavily, as though she had used up a large amount of her energy. Again.
"NO!" Ghestis exclaimed
Kyurem's fallen form started to glow as the man screamed, and the form split into two; Reshiram was its own Pokemon once more.
"Reshiram!" N exclaimed, running over to the Fire/Dragon-Type as it started to get up. "Are you all right?"
"Here." Luke ran over to the Pokemon and placed his front paws on the Legendary's form. "Chaos Heal."
A large blast of dark blue Chaos Energy rippled out from the Lucario and into Reshiram's form, healing whatever damage that might have been done. When the energy faded, Luke removed his paws and stepped back.
Reshiram let out a low growl as he got up. He looked over at Luke, who watched the large Legendary with something akin to awe.
"Thank you," the Pokemon rumbled. He turned s head and nodded to Maria. "You fought well. You have had more training in combat than most Trainers I have seen."
"Most of it is instinct," Maria admitted, smiling slightly, a little embarrassed at gaining praise from a Legendary.
"Well, you have good instincts, then." Reshiram gave her a curious look, but didn't continue with that line of conversation. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ghestis, who looked like he was about to lose his temper.
"How dare you!" Ghestis roared. He grabbed a PokeBall from out of nowhere and attempted to throw it, but quickly found himself entrapped in the grip of an angry-looking Grass-Type serpent, who gave him a warning hiss. Maria's other Pokemon soon joined in, surrounding the Plasma leader in an attempt to keep him from sending out his team and causing anymore trouble than he already had.
"Ghestis, you're under arrest," Looker declared as he stepped into the chamber. A Toxicroak followed him closely, his eyes going over every single Pokemon present as though it were assessing them.
"You picked the perfect time to show up, Looker," Maria stated cheerily. She jabbed her thumb in the direction that Ghestis was located in. "I'm going to attend to Kyurem. The Plasma goon's still got his Pokemon on him, but my team's keeping him from pulling them out."
Looker nodded in approval, then walked towards the Plasma leader. Maria took off her backpack and made a beeline for the Ice/Dragon-Type Legendary.
"Okay...Full Restores...Hyper Potions...aha!" Maria produced a large, spiked object from her backpack and, carefully opening Kyurem's mouth, stuck it in while carefully working around the sharp fangs the Pokemon had.
The effect of the Max Revive was instantaneous.
The Legendary's head shot up, and he looked around quickly, searching for anything that might be a danger. Upon catching sight of Ghestis, he let out a growl and started to approach him.
"Don't!" Maria called. "Looker's going to make sure that he's going to get the proper punishment that he needs!"
Kyurem stopped short, then glanced back at her with a slightly curious expression. He turned back around and lowered his head so as to get a better look.
"You...you smell like a Vulpix," the Pokemon finally stated.
"Because I was one," Maria responded. She got up from her kneeling position, picking up her backpack and throwing it over one shoulder as she went. "For a short time, at least. Name's Maria. I'm the one who made sure that you managed to break free of whatever it was that Ghestis was managing to control you with." She glanced sidelong at the staff that had been slammed into the ground, taking note that it appeared to be smoking.
"And for that, I thank you," Kyurem growled. He looked over at Reshiram, who had been watching the proceedings carefully. "Make sure no one disturbs my resting place. I am going to wait for this child to return."
"Brother, you aren't considering-"
"I am." And without another word, the Ice/Dragon-Type turned and lumbered off, deeper into the cave.
"He isn't talking about considering letting me be his Trainer, is he?" Maria asked, looking over at the Fire/Dragon-Type.
"It seems that he has," Reshiram responded. "Though why, after all these centuries, he decided to pick a Trainer who has a Type advantage over him-"
"Eh." Maria shrugged. "Brothers will be brothers. I've got two at home, and sometimes I have to wonder if I'm even related to them."
N chuckled. "Quite the predicament." He looked over at Reshiram, then back at Maria. "Could I offer you a ride to the Pokemon League gates? It isn't too far from here, and I can tell that you are prepared to face what the Elite Four has in store."
Maria's eyes sparked, and, seeing that Looker had Ghestis readily handcuffed, recalled her Pokemon team. "Sure. That'd be great."
