I am sorry for not updating soon. Please no rage. I have been really busy, and I am graduating from college with a BSW and going straight toward my MSW this coming fall. Now further ado I present Chapter 4. I hope you enjoy the story.
Naruto yawned noisily as he stretched his sore muscles. The distant sound of the popping sound from his back from his early morning work-out session made him a bit tired. He's been exhaustively training to perfect a brand-new ability Nova been teaching him. The Uzumaki had to be at his peak physically and mentally, it shows. Under that sky, a hue so gentle between cloud and baby-blue, he watched each bird-like Pokémon upon the wing. It was one of those spring days with a kiss of coldness that somehow heightened the warm rays of the sun. Our favorite blond paused to admire the flowers, to sense their aromas, to be in the moment with their transient beauty. Beyond all, it was a day of gifts, all there for merely noticing, for letting the steady nature-given happiness in.
The blond was perched on one of the school building enjoying a quick snack of Deluxe Poke Puffs from the local bakery nearby. Naruto wanted to treat Hikari to some of her favorite sweets knowing she does not like going inside her poke ball even to get healed at the Pokémon center. She dislikes being away from him for too long and starts to throw a fit. The blond sweat drops remembering the first time he brought Hikari to be healed at a Pokémon center; she almost set the whole place on fire with V-create determined in searching for her 'Papa.' She has gotten better each visit when getting her healed at the center. He usually sent them all a message through Telepathy in advance.
The buttery aroma of the Poke Puffs wafted tantalizingly under their noses. The blond gratefully plucked a cake from the paper bag, wincing slightly from the still burning hot surface. Giving it an experimental bite, he was surprised to find how easily the spongy layer gave way to teeth and nearly gasped when his taste buds practically sang under the tangy flavor it was assaulted under as lemon curd oozed into his mouth. Almost immediately it was followed up with a nutty crunch from what he could only guess were thinly sliced Nutpea berries. It was unlike anything he had ever tasted before. Hikari was enjoying the taste of her Poke Puff. Naruto knew it was her favorite snack. Cake crumbs and smears of icing were all over her furry cheeks as she chewed the cake in delight as she seated herself upon her adoptive fathers' lap enjoying her treat. Naruto smiled rubbing her soft ears making her purr softly before returning to finish her Deluxe Poké Puff.
Naruto massaged his throbbing temples as he glanced at the letter; he received from Nurse Joy that was addressed to him by Professor Sycamore. The words seemed to blur together.
Please come to the lab immediately I have urgent news that involves you
Regards Prof. Sycamore
Naruto blinked rapidly and pressed his forehead onto the note, as if that could imprint it in his memory 'I hope everything's okay, I have not gotten a call about an emergency.'
'What do you think Nova?' The blond connected to his strongest Pokémon using telepathy wanting his input on this situation.
'It could be a situation only you can solve. I say wait until you arrive before asking any more questions' his friend stated before going back to sleep.
The blond groaned and glanced at his Poke tech watch (made especially by the Devon Corporation). 12:30 PM. He leaned forward onto his crossed knees and glanced at the cloudless sky before forcing his gaze back down to Hikari quickly finishing up her sweets. The blue-eyed teen smiled softly grabbing a clean cloth from his side pouch cleaning off the leftover frosting from the small fire types face. When done cleaning Hikari she took her spot on his shoulder before turning invisible just as the blond pushed up onto the balls of his feet making sure Hikari tightly held on onto him before making any sudden movements. With the reflexes of a Liepard, the young teen gracefully soared over the rooftop of the school building. He jumped quickly from rooftop to rooftop, sprinting to the next building carefully that he would not be spotted. The Uzumaki landed just on the edge of the forest to the east of town without being seen by everyone, before concealing his presence to blend into the crowd hurriedly heading to his next destination.
Naruto looked at the small map connected to the letter leading to him awkwardly standing in front of an archway of a massive garden maze. This route has several hedge mazes on the left and right sides. Before the blond even step inside the entrance, he was called out by a young woman with brown hair, with green eyes. Her hair is collected and with a tuft of hair that protrudes from her forehead. She was wearing a tight black and red shirt, also wears tight gray pants, brown boots and a fanny pack worn on the waist. She had on a headset, composed of a microphone on her left and a camera on her right side.
She introduced herself as a journalist named Alexa, working for the local Pokémon magazine. She had a Gogoat following behind her waiting patiently. She was asking for a small interview from the blond about his visit to Santalune City. Naruto gave the brunette a brief explanation for his visit thinking to himself if he did not answer her; she may end up following him. Alexa handed the blond a small bag full of various berries as a way of thanking the teen for the interview and congratulated him on his victory in defeating her younger sister, Viola who is the Gym Leader of Santalune City.
The blond entering the park, a slight breeze rustles the leaves making them fall to the solid ground one by one. The teen was challenged to several battles along his way through the massive maze before making his way to the center of the orchard. The route Naruto took was decorated with patches of different-colored flowers, hedge mazes. The blond stood still casting his eyes to the big fountain known as Perle Fountain standing in the center square, dedicated to acceptance and harmony. A group of gardeners is in charge of taking care of the hedge mazes. At the north end of the route lies a gate leading to Lumiose City.
The blond stood on a small hill overlooking the Perle Fountain that had a little girl and her Cleffa smiling splashing droplets of water at each enjoying themselves. The blond overlooked the extravagant fountain admiring the sculpture, however, he noticed fast movement coming
It seems like the skater was losing control of his hard balance wheels careened over the dirt path and the wind whipped into his eyes. The skater was about to make a head-on collision with the small child and her Cleffa. The blond teen did not think twice; he dropped slightly to the ground and began to sprint down the hillside, the wind whipped into his eyes. With lightning fast reflexes leaving a blurred trail of yellow. Naruto scooped up the child and Pokémon into his arms in one swift motion and slid like a baseball player, his move digging a deep trench in the ground holding on tightly to the two making sure they were safe.
A minor splash came from the fountain edge splashing droplets of cold water onto the blond as he shielded the child and Pokémon from the mist. The random male skater pulled himself out of the fountain-soaked head to toe he was wearing a white tee shirt with a teal line in the middle and teal shorts and a white helmet. Another skater that was female with pigtails wearing a white wife-beater and tight yellow shorts with a yellow helmet. Shouting at the male saying he was clumsy and an idiot. The mother frantically ran over to them cuddling her child as both the little girl and pink Pokémon hugged Naruto for saving them. The worried mother thanking the blond repeatedly as the two skaters bowed in apology to the small family before they went on their way. The blond was about to turn away from the scene before being called out by one of the skaters.
"Hey, you, I saw what you did" the girl called out.
"I have no idea what you are talking about" the blond stated, his blond locks shielding his eyes from the pairs few.
'Did she see me activate my aura when I accelerated my speed?' the blond teen thought as his eyes turned red for a split second. His he turned toward the two skaters as the breeze blew his tresses a bit. His locks framing his face to get a good look at them before, but his eyes flashed a seriously blue color. The blonde's glacier eyes were cold, the teen about to erase their memories of the event.
"Yeah how you scooped up those guys no problem, you're fast, dude!" she shouted excitedly exaggerating Naruto's cool display in saving the kid and her Pokémon from harm.
Naruto breathed out a sigh of relief now knowing these guys did not see him using his abilities, so he played the rescue off like it was beginners' luck. The blond was scratching his head bashfully from the praise. The skater girl and the male that that was now dry said they were practicing a new trick, but the boy lost control and started rolling down the hillside and could not brake fast enough to dodge the child.
"Hey how about a battle, we saw some of your previous ones while we were still practicing in the courtyard!" the girl said already bring out a Pokéball from her hip. Naruto nodded in agreement for the challenge.
Both trainers stood a reasonable distance away from each other in the center square in front of the Perle Fountain. The male skater was the referee for the match. The was a small crowd of passerby's on the sidelines watching the match between the two trainers.
"This will be a one on one match, please choose your Pokémon." The skater boy yelled out to both trainers.
"Go Litleo I choose you" a small feline Pokémon that is based on a lion cub. Its fur is mainly deep brown with tan colored paws, ears, tail tip, and muzzle. It has an orange nose and a small orange tuft of fiery fur on the top of its head. The fire cub was crouched ready to battle.
"Litleo, lets see here" Naruto brought out his Pokédex scanning the cub.
Litleo: Lion Cub Pokémon: The stronger the opponent it faces, the more heat surges from its mane and the more power flows through its body. They set off on their own from their pride and live by themselves to become stronger. These hot-blooded Pokémon are quick to fight.
Level: 18 - Abilities: Rivalry/Unnerve
This Litleo is Male and Registered to Skater Girl
"Ame let's go!" The bubble frog was also crouched ready for a fight.
"Litleo start things off with a Fire Fang." Litleo roared and rushed towards Ame with his mouth open, surrounded in flames. Naruto, after hearing the skater girl's order, gave out his order.
"Ame, use Quick Attack to dodge and then use Water Pulse." Ame hops into action as he dodges Litleo attack, using his speed to circle the fire type. Froakie hits Litleo with Water Pulse make the cub yelp in pain.
"Use Fire Fang once more!" Litleo came back around to bite the bubble frog.
"Take the hit then use Icy Wind when its close" Ame, despite being confused by his trainer's order, trusted him entirely and releases a strong wind with sparkling blue snow in it at his opponent, which caused Litleo to wince slightly at the painful chill, but continued with his attack and bit down on Ame's leg, causing Ame to shriek in pain, not expecting Litleo to be so powerful.
Everyone watching and even the skater girl were confused as to why he would order his Froakie to use Icy Wind, when the attack has hardly any effect on a fire type and why he didn't plan to dodge the attack.
The skater girl grinned thinking this kid was a newbie trainer.
"Alright, Litleo! Now we got him! Use-"
"Before he can act, Ame, use Pound!"
The skater girl yelled out a 'WHAT?!' in surprise as he watched as Ame's right hand glows white before punching Litleo in the face, making him yelp once again.
"No, Litleo!"
Everyone, who questioned Naruto's move before, now understood what he was planning and thought it was ingenious. Attacking Litleo close up, the damage that was dealt to Litleo was doubled, not to mention that Litleo was caught entirely off guard.
The skater girl stared worriedly at her Pokémon, who was currently on the ground.
"Litleo! Are you ok?!"
Litleo, hearing the worry in his master's voice, slowly got up before he stared defiantly at Ame, who looked on in surprise, and roared out in affirmative.
Litleo roared again in agreement while Naruto stared in genuine surprise at seeing Litleo getting up.
"Ame, use Water Pulse again then when you're done charging it, attack with Pound." Ame immediately closed his eyes and charging up a Water Pulse, which steadily grew bigger.
The skater girl, not wanting Naruto's Froakie, to get the upper hand, quickly gave a command.
"Litleo, don't let him finish; use Take Down!"
Litleo growled and, due to the distance not being that short thanks to the last attack, quickly hit Ame with its body, breaking its concentration and dealing some damage. Litleo, though, winced slightly at the side-effect of using the attack.
Deciding to finish the match it with one move would be the best way to win, Naruto gave out his command.
"Ame, new plan! Get up close with Quick Attack and deal some damage with Pound!"
The skater girl at the same time gave her command.
"Litleo use Flamethrower while it's on the ground!"
Ame quickly avoided the Flamethrower by doing a backflip and rushed towards Litleo, a white aura surrounding his body and when he was up in the cubs' face, he pounded the fire type in the face multiple times before jumping back.
This time, the skater girl cursed while Naruto grinned.
"Great job, Ame! Let's keep up this pace and use Pound once more!" As Ame was running towards Litleo, the skater girl yelled out,
"Litleo! Use Flame Chare to get out of there and when you're far enough, Use Flamethrower!" Before Ame could even think of hitting Litleo with Pound, Litleo body was suddenly surrounded by flames as he charged away.
This caused Ame, who was already in motion of hitting the cub, to miss and Litleo used this opportunity to blast him with a Flamethrower.
Naruto quickly ordered Ame to dodge but wasn't able to in time and was hit.
"Alright, Litleo! Let's finish this up with Headbutt!"
Litleo roared out and rushed towards Ame, who was down on one knee in pain. Everyone waited with bated breath as Litleo rushed towards Ame and waited for Naruto to give out an order but were surprised when he didn't say anything.
Unknown to them, Naruto was speaking to Ame using telepathy.
'How you are doing, Ame?' Ame was a little surprised in hearing his trainers voice inside his head but did not let it show on his face.
"I am a little battered up, but overall, I'm fine" Ame stated.
'Great on my command, I want you to jump while spinning and using the momentum, then use Water Pulse one more time.'
Ame nodded and stood up while Litleo was getting closer and closer. When Litleo was about a couple inches away, Naruto yelled out,
"NOW!"
Ame immediately jumped while spinning his body counter-clockwise creating a blue sphere of energy from in between its hands. When Litleo was directly under him, Ame then fires the sphere at the tiny cub, which explodes into a wave of water, creating a small crater.
Ame landed on the ground as he took some breaths while Litleo laid on the ground with swirls in his eyes.
The male skater raised his right hand towards Naruto.
"Winner of the match is Naruto!" Everyone in the crowd cheered, at the fantastic battle between the two trainers.
Naruto returned Ame back into his Pokéball, thanking him for battling with him, which he waved off while the skater girl recalled her Litleo approached the blond. The skater girl stuck out her hand with a big grin on her face, which made Naruto smile and grab with her hand.
"You win, Naruto, I hope for a rematch again someday, next time I won't lose!" The skater girl looked gratefully at Naruto before his face took on a determined look.
"We'll see." Naruto chuckled and let go of the skater girl's hand. The skaters gave the Uzumaki a brand-new pair of skates of his own as an additional prize for winning. They taught the blond a couple of advance skating techniques before the teen continued on his way to Lumiose City.
Two people dressed in all white stopped the blond for continuing to the city before he can get through the gates. They introduce themselves as Sina and Dexio. They said they were the blond teens' escorts to Professor Sycamore's lab in Lumiose City.
Sina is a dark-skinned woman with black hair. She wears a white outfit with grey lines, consisting of a shirt with buttons and a skirt. She also wears white boots.
Dexio is a light-skinned man with yellow hair. He wears a white outfit with grey lines, consisting of a shirt with buttons and some pants. He also wears white shoes.
Lumiose City was a city of broad avenues and small places to sit and eat, to relax as folk went about their day. There were the sky towers in the center, what was once thousands of homes now took up less ground space than an old shopping mall. The rest was parks and wild areas, a chance to walk among nature or enjoy the trails on bicycles or taxis. They made the roads wide and the tower blocks tall. But even then, there were cars everywhere, restaurants, apartments, and late-night shops. I can still hear the cars and cannot imagine a street so busy as the blond teen weaved between the people trying to keep up with the white-clothed duo in the lead.
Once at the lab, Naruto was greeted by the professor main assistant Susie, who apparently asked the blond teen for a favor in waking up the professor. Susie informed the blond the professor has not been sleeping recently since he has been investigating new material on Mega Evolution and she was worried about the professors health, that is why she asked if the blond could talk to the professor to at least see if the middle-aged man can take the day off to rest. Susie leads the blond into the professors' private study before returning to her post.
The blond stepped inside the professors' private study spotting the middle-aged man snoring, letting air out simultaneous. Naruto gave the professor a small nudge to his ribs making him jerk awake to see the teen's smiling face. The professor fingers severely tangling in the messy, raven black curls that lapped his bluish eyes letting out a loud yawn.
"How long was I out? I hope it wasn't long." He asked scratching his curly mane.
"I had to wake you up because your assistant said you did not get enough rest at all the last couple days." The blond said picking up a few stray news articles titling evolution theories. Hikari reappeared floating off her adoptive fathers' shoulder to have a look around the library. Naruto let Hikari hover around the professor's private library to have a look around.
"I feel like I am a step closer in discovering more information about Mega Evolution. I become so restless I could not sleep a wink." He smiled thanking Naruto in helping him tidy up the place before Susie comes back to scold him for leaving his study a mess.
When Susie returned to the study, she was surprised in seeing the library spotless, and the professor was in full lecture mood about his latest discovery and wanted the blond's opinion on his most recent findings. Susie stepped forward with a tray of piping hot tea and some sweet dumplings for Hikari.
"I have made a hypothesis. I hope you can help me out with this Naruto, that is why I needed you to come as soon as possible. I apologize that if the letter I sent to you was out of the blue and if you were troubled by my replay, there was just no one at the time who I could turn to with this type of information" the professor said bowing in apology to the blond teen.
"It's alright professor, I was worried if there was any trouble brewing, but you put my fears at ease now. So, what did you need me to do?" the teen asked when finishing off his tea in one gulp.
"I did discover that Mega Evolution is only active when in the heat of battle, I wanted to record my findings so I can have more data to look back on when continuing my research." The professor stated looked at the blond with a determined sparkle in his eyes.
"A battle with me?" the blond asked confused.
"Yes, I wanted to test this hypothesis with an experienced trainer that already has knowledge on Mega Evolution and already has a Mega stone on hand."
"I do not mind helping out, but where are we going to have this match the battlefield outback looks like it is still under construction?" the teen thought in confusion as Hikari flew over to him as soon as she finished off the rest of the dumplings from the tray. The mythical Pokémon soon made herself comfortable inside Naruto's cloak to relax.
"Do not worry about that minor detail; follow me please." The blond teen watched the professor with his assistant Susie followed dutifully behind the pair. Their feet take steps across the glossy tiles, Naruto high top sneakers next to the shined pointed-toe leather shoes of passing scientist and researchers minding their business.
The group was soon led to a double metallic door. The professor typed in a series of codes before the steel doors revealing a hidden elevator. The elevator had white marble walls, a blue carpet, a silver handrail, and no buttons. Professor Sycamore pressed his hand against a small glass panel. A sensor read his fingerprints, verified them, and activated the elevator. The doors slid shut, and the elevator descends to the ground floor without stopping. Naruto was awestruck by the concealed elevator it seems like nobody else ever used it. Nor did it ever stop at any of the other lower levels in the building. Looking down he could see an area from the glass window inside the elevator the seemingly endless square tunnel illuminated only by the chinks of light in the form of a battlefield. The lift soon grinded to a halt. The three visitors stepped out while Hikari reemerged flying out of Naruto tattered cloak to see the sights.
"Woah, I did not know you had an underground battlefield, professor!" the blond sated inspecting the arena as Hikari hovered around the glowing lights surrounding the field.
"Yes, we mostly use this arena if the battlefield in the garden is getting renovations done, but then again we do not use this one too often," Susie said with a smile.
"So how do you want to do this?" The high-spirited blond said making his way to one side of the field as Hikari hovered around the blond, taking his side of the arena.
"That is why I insisted on Susie to come along so she could record our entire battle to document more data when reviewing further on Mega Evolution." The professor stated while Susie was sitting on the stands waving over to the pair. The camera in her hands ready to record every detail of the upcoming match.
"Since we don't have a referee let's just end the match went one Pokémon, or both cannot continue." Professor Sycamore yelled out.
"Sound good to me." The Uzumaki nodded in agreement. The professor reached inside tis lab coat pulling out a Pokéball calling out his partner first.
"Garchomp help me out" a bipedal shark-like Pokémon colored mostly red and dark blue. On its head, it possesses two horn-like appendages and a star-like yellow mark on its snout. Its arms have one claw each, and triangular fins emerge from its elbows and back. The dragon had a multi-colored stone around her neck.
"A Garchomp huh," the blond said with a smirk. 'I can tell this Garchomp does not much battle experience, unlike Cynthia's monster of a Garchomp' Naruto thought with an sudden chill just thinking about the monstrous Pokémon.
"Tohru stand by for battle!" the blond threw out his Friend Ball. The she-dragon came out in a thunderous roar making debris scattered across the entire field just from her appearance out of her Pokéball.
"Ready to battle Tohruu…AHH!" The green dragon turned around jumping the blond. The colossal dragon nuzzled Naruto lovingly while wagging her huge tail joyfully, giving him affectionate licks to both his whiskered cheeks.
"I know, I know, I love you too girl" the blond grinned weakly as she finally let her master up from the ground when he gave her an affectionate pat on her scaly head.
"She really affectionate toward you" the professor sweat dropped in seeing the one of the most intimating Pokémon he knew wanting to be stroked like a pleased Skitty.
"Yeah she is, but I do not really mind" just like a switch as soon as Tohru entered the battlefield she glared her opponent with such intensity it made Garchomp slightly flinch, making the land shark step back a bit. There was no softness in that gaze.
"Garchomp, use Flamethrower!" Professor Sycamore shouted as Garchomp fired an intense stream of flames.
"Tohru, Protect!" Naruto shouted as Tohru skillful created a blue shield in a split second to protect herself against the Flamethrower. The Flamethrower tried to penetrate the shield, but the protect was too strong.
"Impressive. I'll need to bring it up a notch. Ok, Garchomp use Dragon Claw!" Professor Sycamore shouted as Garchomp's claws glowed green as she charged toward Tohru.
"Tohru, counter with your Dragon Claw!" Naruto shouted as Tohru claws extended in length which glowed green as she charged at Garchomp. The two Pokémon engaged in a heated close combat battle in the air as Garchomp would claw at Tohru and Tohru would swipe at Garchomp. Tohru blocked Garchomp Dragon Claw and managed to uppercut Garchomp in the face, but Garchomp slashed Tohru wing, causing both Pokémon to back away from each other after their attacks. Garchomp felt some pain, but Garchomp and Professor Sycamore saw that Tohru wing rapidly healed and the wounds were gone.
"How did Tohrus wing heal so fast?" Professor Sycamore asked confused.
"I had her use Roost just as the two of them separated from each other, when you were distracted from looking at Garchomp injuries, you took your eyes off Tohru." The professor was vastly impressed by the teen's speedy battle tactics.
"All right, that makes this interesting." Professor Sycamore said.
"You have no idea! Tohru use Hydro Pump!" Naruto shouted as Tohru fires a powerful stream of water at Garchomp.
"Garchomp, counter it with Flamethrower." Professor Sycamore said as Garchomp let loose a powerful Flamethrower that hit the Hydro Pump and canceled it out.
"Now use Slash Garchomp!" Garchomp's front claws glowed as she flew forward.
"Tohru use Steel Wing!" Naruto shouted as Tohru flew ahead heard first, her wings gleaming a metallic silver as the two Pokémon clashed mid-air.
"Garchomp use Hone Claws to jump up!" Professor Sycamore shouted as Garchomp claws were shrouded in a dark aura as the ground dragon jumped higher into the air.
"Tohru speed up, by using Dragon Dance! Catch to Garchomp!" Naruto shouted as Tohru body becomes surrounded in a red and pink dark aura as she rapidly caught up to Garchomp in no time.
"Use Zen Headbutt!" Tohru head glows blue, and her head becomes surrounded by a see-through reflective shield. She zoomed into the air and bashed right into Garchomp, causing Garchomp to fly through the air in recoil, but it quickly recovered. It growled at Tohru while Naruto kept his neutral expression on his face.
"Tohru Zen Headbutt again!" Naruto shouted as Tohru sped through the air and bashed into Garchomp again, sending it flying through the air before it regained composure. It growled at Tohru even more as it was getting pissed. "Tohru, now use Shadow Claw!" Naruto shouted as Tohru shifted her claws that was shrouded in a familiar shadowy aura. Tohru then swung her claws forward and launched a faint aura of sharp claws of dark energy at Garchomp.
"Garchomp charge forward with Flamethrower." Professor Sycamore said as Garchomp flew forward and fired its Flamethrower, barreling right through the Shadow Claw. "Now, Dragon Claw!" Garchomp's claws glowed green as it clawed Tohru, but she swiftly dodges the greenish claws.
"Now, Dragon Tail!" Garchomp's tail becomes covered in a green, scale-patterned aura, which is used to smack Tohru across the body and send her flying through the air. Tohru flew through the air before her regained composure and stopped.
"Tohru, use Fire Blast!" Naruto shouted.
"Garchomp, Hyper Beam." Professor Sycamore said as the two launched their respective attacks. The two beams clashed, causing an explosion. "Garchomp, use Iron Head!" Garchomp body becomes surrounded by a white aura, and she slams her head at Tohru and bashes her hard into the ground.
Tohru got up, a bit hurt but the damage wasn't that bad. "Tohru, use Earthquake!" Naruto shouted as Tohru stomps the ground with her feet, causing the battlefield to shake violently. Garchomp was hit from all angles by the violent tremor. "Now, use Roost!" Tohru body then glowed white as she began to regain her health and strength.
"Garchomp, Dragon Rage!" Professor Sycamore shouted as Garchomp glows light blue. She then fires a powerful blast of blue and black energy in the shape of a dragon which exploded out from her body engulfing the entire battlefield.
"Tohru, quickly in the air!" Naruto shouted as Tohru flew into the air to avoid the blast from the aftermath.
"Tohru, use Heat Wave!" Naruto shouted as Tohru lifts her head into the air and spreads her wings and then flaps her wings, creating an orange gust of heat that hits Garchomp dead on, damaging the land shark.
"Garchomp, in the air, then fire back with Flamethrower!" Professor Sycamore said as she glided in the air firing a Flamethrower. Tohru swiftly dodges the stream of flames with no any trouble.
"You're Salamance is a formidable Pokémon, Naruto." Professor Sycamore said as his Garchomp hovered down and landed on the ground.
"Thanks, and Garchomp is really strong," Naruto said as Tohru floated to the ground as well.
"I know, she's one of my hardest working Pokémon and a fierce fighter. Let me show you what our bond can achieve. Garchomp, are you ready?" Professor Sycamore asked as Garchomp roared in approval.
"Then, let's begin. Keystone hear my call and feel the bond between my Pokémon and me. MEGA EVOLVE!" Professor Sycamore shouted as he touched his glowing keystone on his headband, which released waves of yellow energy. The stone on Garchomp's necklace glowed as it released waves of blue energy. The blue and yellow energy waves collided, combined and then moved into Garchomp's stone. Garchomp then exploded in a burst of purple energy as her body began to evolve. Her body grew larger, her claws extend into scythes, and her body is covered in more spikes with two red spikes. Garchomp roared out as the mega symbol appeared in front of it before it disappeared.
"Mega Garchomp." Professor Sycamore said with a smile as Naruto was amazed at what just happened.
"Amazing she Mega Evolved on her first try too," Naruto said as he saw Garchomp changed form.
"We have been practicing on our own a few times. Therefore, this is not our first time Mega Evolving, but this is our first time using this form in a real match instead of a mock battle" the professor informed the blond.
"We won't disappoint you then" Naruto fired back.
"I know you won't, now Garchomp, use Dragon Pulse!" Professor Sycamore shouted as Garchomp fires a multicolored dragon-shaped beam of energy from its mouth that was at least twice as powerful than any original one. It fired through the air and was heading straight towards Tohru.
"Tohru, use Hydro Pump!" Naruto shouted as Tohru fired the stream of water. It launched at Garchomp, the Dragon Pulse bashed right into it making both attacks conceal out. Tohru hovered close to the blond teens' side waiting for her next orders.
"Man, that power increase," Naruto said as he saw Tohru recover from the head-on collision with that powerful Dragon Pulse. "We'll have to be careful. Tohru, use Stone Edge!" Naruto shouted as Tohru forms white circles of energy which quickly become sharp gray stones. She then fires them at her opponent.
"Dodge it Garchomp," but the attack hit Garchomp head on. After the attack stopped, Garchomp bent down to one knee in pain.
'I see. Garchomp speed is decreased while Mega Evolving.' Professor Sycamore thought to himself making a quick note of this encounter.
"We're not giving up yet, Garchomp use Hyper Beam!" Professor Sycamore shouted as Mega Garchomp fires a dark purple and black beam of energy from its mouth towards Tohru.
"Tohru fly to avoid it!" Naruto shouted a Tohru shot into the air to avoid the beam of energy which would have done some damage. "Now, use Aqua Tail!" A stream of water spirals around Tohrus tail. The dragoness then flips around, hitting Garchomp hard, knocking her away about ten feet and doing some damage, but Garchomp was still on her feet.
"Now Tohru, finish this up by using Draco Meteor!" the blond shouted as Tohru fired a giant orange orb high into the sky. It then broke up apart into dozens of falling meteors of dragon energy that hit the ground.
"Jump while dodging it, Garchomp!" Garchomp dodges a couple of the beams of raining light, but the third one had enough power combined with the damage done by the previous two that it smashed and hit Garchomp hard enough to knock her out of the sky and down to the ground hard, making a large crater. Garchomp looked like it was ready to keep fighting but fell forward reverted back to its standard form before fainting.
Professor Sycamore hurriedly ran ahead to make sure the ground dragon was okay.
"Tohru, are you okay!" Naruto shouted as the cloud of dust and debris from the impact dissipated. Naruto saw Tohru flapping her wings eagerly. She looked like she was ready to keep fighting. The blond patted Tohrus head as she landed in front of him purring.
"You were great girl; now get a nice long rest," Naruto said as he returned Tohru to her Friend ball.
"Garchomp, return. You did great today" Professor Sycamore returned Garchomp to her Pokéball.
The two adults came up to Naruto as he clipped the Friend ball to his belt. "Naruto, that was an amazing battle!" Professor Sycamore shouted as he walked up to Naruto.
"Thanks, professor," Naruto replied with a smile as he patted Hikari on her head when she landed on his right shoulder.
"It was impressive how you handled the battle," Susie said holding the tape recorder.
"I'm very proud of you, Naruto. Not only for the battle but for how you acted during it and at the end." Professor Sycamore said with a smile as Naruto beamed at the praise.
"Now come on, let's head back upstairs and have lunch. I cannot wait to re-watch that battle." Professor Sycamore said as they left, leaving several craters and a destroyed battle arena.
So, was it? I promised to make it long. Therefore, please review on what you like or any other opinions I would love to hear them. I will post the following chapter soon since I have more time this summer.
