Answers for Reviewer's Questions:
WyldClaw (Chapter 1): Hey WyldClaw!
Thanks for the Reply!
I'm Glad you liked my Prologue/Chapter 1 of this Story at least.
Interesting you call it descriptive as well, I was worried it wasn't but guess I was wrong then,
Still, I'm happy to hear my introduction to the Merfolk/Cecaelia in my stories as well as Juliana's Childhood with her Mer-Tribe back in Hoenn.
Though I do have to ask this:
How do you think I do for the characters in this Fic so far?
Was it good? (Save for Geeta for obvious Reasons)
That said, Thanks for the Review! ;)
I hope you would enjoy this story as well
Take Care, Stay Safe, watch your Health and See Ya! ;)

La Bublioteca De Inu: Hey Inu!
Thanks for the Review!
Glad to hear you liked my New Chapters at least!
And thanks for pointing what went wrong with the last two Chapters as well.
I already mentioned some stuff via PM at least, So I'll try to keep this PM short at least.
And Yeah, I Suppose the Sworward/Shielbert Not being on the News thing is odd at least (But don't worry, I'll addresses it down the line at least)
Same with my take on Raifort being too over the top evil (AKA the Dartboard with Sada/Turo was a little overkill I admit.) as well, But still,
I'm open on suggestions to make Raifort less Cartoonishy evil at least, So there's that.
That said, I'll keep the Naranja Spelling in mind as well at least as well, So don't worry about it.
But overall, I'm glad I made Chapters 5/6 enjoyable for you at least Inu!
Take Care, Stay Safe, Watch you Health and See Ya! ;)

Chapter 7: A Champion Encounter Part 1 (Surprise Meeting)
(XXXX)
World of Pokemon, Paldea Region, Medali Town, Seabreeze Café, While Juliana, Arven, Nemona, Penny, Carmine and Kieran are on their self-guided tour back in Kitakami:
'Hmm…. Fascinating.' Volo thought to himself as he sipped his Coffee while reading his recently purchased Copy of the Scarlet Book while being seated at the Medali Town Branch of the Seabreeze Café,
While Raifort keeps an eye on Juliana and collects the Kitakami Relic, The Former Ginjko Guild Merchant would seek out the Paldea Region's Resident Legendaries and add them to their little army to get the Devine Tempest (Especially given the Former's Desire to catch them before their little alliance)
Likewise, He also decided to investigate the Scarlet Book knowing the few books documenting Area Zero would have some info about Paldea's Native Legends (No doubt to seek info on the Devine Tempest's exact location or find extra legendries to help with his plan to dethrone Arceus.
To his surprise compared to other Regions (Save for Kanto), Paldea doesn't have much of a Deity Legendary they worship (As Hoenn for example has Rayquaza while Unova has Reshriam and Zekrom) with most Paldeans (To his bitterness and anger) worshipped Arceus like with the Sinnohians because of it.
But currently, he was looking into a creature that was dismissed as fictional and not real… when it's was the polar opposite instead.
'Heh… If only those fools knew that Heath wasn't a lair and the Pokemon he saw WAS Indeed Real…' Volo sneered to himself as he looked at the Drawing in the censored page of the Scarlet Book, no doubt aware of what it is, even if History has forgotten about it compared to its fellow Nobles, The Last remaining out of all of them following the other 10's bloodlines have all but died out sometime after Hisui became Sinnoh
The Eleventh Noble Pokemon, Terapagos.
While he's more interested in the Hero of Hisui's Trident due to the Power it has, The Last Remaining Noble could have some worth to say the least.
'Maybe I'll consider taking Terapagos as well.. But the Ruins and the Legends of Galar would be more than enough for now…'Volo sneered to himself as he looked at his Bag, no doubt his Seventh Pokemon is inside it atm, and while it was tempting to unleash it already and let it's destruction get Arceus's Attention to finally get the chance dethrone him once and all for all.
He needs to get his Old Hero's Precious Trident, The Devine Tempest first alongside the Treasure of Ruins to truly do so, especially without Giratina's help now.
Just as he was thinking about, Volo then looked towards the Local TV in the Café playing the news as it broadcasted the news.
"Still no word on the Missing Galarian Celebrities Sworward and Shielbert and Many of their fans are wondering where they have disappeared to…" Said the News Anchor lady as the screen next to her shows two figures with rather frivolous hairstyles being cover by a question mark
"Authorities currently believe that the Theft of the Darkest Day's Pokeball recently and the sudden disappearances of the possible descendants of the Kings of Galar were connected but no evidence or proof has been seen or mentioned yet however…" She continued as Volo simply rolled his eyes at the news before resuming his look onto the Scarlet Book,
'Tch… So it looks like they're finally noticing those idiots' Volo thought to himself with a netural expression (But a malicious thought on the inside) as he didn't expect the two Idiots he encountered (and killed) to be of Royalty or even have a following as well…
But regardless, Those two fools are gone form the picture, And their little fandom doesn't know he was the man whom did the deed as well,
Though it'll won't matter since once he finally dethrones Arceus and obtains his Power,
Those fools or their stupid followers won't even exist in his new world as well.
Suddenly, His Pokegear (With how Connective Recent Technology is nowadays, Volo felt a Pokegear would be better in the long haul for his plans, Even giving Raifort one to help communicate with him about their plans) started to ring as Volo picked it up.
"Well, I take you got some good news Raifort?" Volo questioned as he talked to his current ally on the Pokegear whom gave a nod back from her side of things via her Pokegear.
"Yes… I suppose so." Said Raifort as she answered back to her current partner in crime.
"I managed to discover one of the 5 Relics besides the Crystal Orbs of Souls, The Bracelet of Beauty is in Kitakami right now."
"Really, Is it that so?" Volo admitted with some surprise (No doubt not having to worry having to track down the Princess of the Kalosian Merfolk tribe whom's not only the Champion of Kalos, But also having in a possible position for Raifort to take the Fall provide the plan to take the Crystal Orb of Souls go as planned (Given the Curse that befalls on those unworthy of it as well) since his plan doesn't need her for long unlike his old one with Dawn back in the days of Hisui)
"Well Yes, It's with the Champion of Kalos…. Whom's with the Sinnoh Champion Cynthia at the moment when I saw her…" Raifort admitted to her ally.
When his current ally mentioned the Name of the Sinnoh Champion, Volo's expression briefly turned to one of a scrowl before shifting back to a Netural face to keep others form noticing it.
'Tch, Of all the People the Kalos Champion's Friends with, it happens to be my own Descendant…' Volo cursed to himself as he never expected
Someone like Cynthia could throw a wrench in his plans especially not only for her reputation as the strongest Champion in the World but also for how close she and Diantha would be together,
As trying to steal the Bracelet form the Kalos Champion when her Best Friend was around is a risk he can't afford right now as even with what he gave Raifort before she left for Kitakami,
The Power of two Champions (Especially THE Champion of Sinnoh) is too powerful for his Pawn to risk being sacrificed right now…
"Well, Raifort, Focus on the Crystal Orb First, We'll find a way to get the Bracelet Eventually… just make sure you also find a way to capture Juliana for our plans…. And whatever you do…"
"DON'T, Let, Cynthia, See, You…"
"Got it Volo…" Said Raifort as she hung up on her end of things, All while Volo tried his hardest to not to anything suspicious to expose himself at the moment.
'Tch… Never expected Cynthia to be in Kitakami….' Volo thought to himself in frustration at this turn of events, And while it's merely a Coincidence, Her presence could ruin his new plan if she discovers Raifort spying on her
'But no matter…. If Raifort actually plays her cards right like Dawn… It'll be one step to the Devine Tempest…'
Volo then smirked to himself before resuming his look into the Scarlet Book, No doubt hoping to find some info about the Hero of Hisui that was Documented in the Book, No doubt with the Devine Tempest being located in Paldea, That Heath must have not only stumbled onto Terapagos but also the Hero of Hisui as well.
Just as Larry, The Gym Leader of Medali Town (And also the Flying Type Member of the Paldea Elite Four, Though he rather prefer his status as a Gym Leader then an Elite Four Member though) passed by him, Just getting his Caffeine to get through the Hellhole that was his Giratina-Spawn of his Boss's Usual tasks assigned to him.
The Salesman/Gym Leader whom was currently taking a sip of his Coffee as he looked towards Volo whom was currently reading the Scarlet Book at the moment, While looking very interested in it as well.
'Probably just another tourist/lunatic obessesed with Area Zero, as if Sada and Turo aren't enough already…' Larry shrugged to himself as he left to his Gym, not dwelling about the strange man in the Café and just wanting to get on with his day before Geeta forced yet another task onto him (He swears to Arceus that Woman has a thing against him no matter what)
Similarly, a Dragapult was also watching form above as she kept her eyes on Volo whom continued sipping his Coffee while reading the Scarlet Book, No doubt he may appear to be a simple Sinnohian Hiker…
Such a Possible Threat must be observed for her Queen to ensure her Rule over Paldea must not be overthrown….
No matter what!

The Next Day, Land of Kitakami, Outskirts of Mossui Town:
"Marina! Use Water Gun!" Said Juliana as she commanded her new Poplilo as she fired several blasts of water at Arven's Cloyster whom She and her Trainer are currently having a Training Battle with the Latter's Crush as Arven simply smiled back
"Cloyster, Use Rapid Spin and then an Icy Wind!" Said Arven as his Pokemon nodded back in agreement.
As the Blasts of Water reached Cloyster, she simply closed her Shell and began to spin rapidly, Blocking the water gun blast as she spun around before opening her shell once more.
"(Heads up Kiddo!)" She said as Cloyster then fired a blast of Ice cold winds towards Marina whom Juliana looked back to Marina and said.
"Alright, Marina, use Aqua Jet to dodge the Icy Wind and then Disarming Voice!"
"(No Problem Mama!)" Answered back the Poplilo as Marina then lunged herself away from the ice attack before shouting with a large Shout which was accompanied by several rings of Pink of Hearts.
Cloyster tried to close her shell to block the noise but it doesn't work however due to the Sound being able to penetrate her shell however.
"Well, Guess that's all then…" Said Penny (Whom has Usagi out of her Pokeball and the Galarian Girl currently acting as the Refree for this Training Match) as she looked back to Arven as she looked back to Juliana whom nodded back to her as Penny look up form her Phone afterwards form the Article she was reading earlier.
"It's not much, but let's call this battle done at least… It's just training after all…" Said Juliana as she looked back to Marina, No doubt she's having minor practice since being a new born means it's best to have her training first before any major battles at least.
"Agreed, And you did well for this Battle Juliana." Said Arven as he smiled back to her, Juliana feeling her heartbeat rise when her crush praised her with more blushing present as well.
"Alright that was good Marina!" Said Juliana to her new Poplilo daughter whom blushed back at this and how she did well for her Mama, The Former letting some Palafin Clicks out as she did towards her new Baby Pokemon.
"(Thanks Mama!)" Said the Poplilo as Juliana smiled back to her new at this Praise as she turned to Cloyster and Arven.
"(Thank you for the Training Auntie Cloyster and Mr. Arven!)" Admitted Marina as the Poplilo blew a Bubble in the Process as well, Much to the Cloyster's amusement.
"(Don't mention it kiddo…)" Admitted the Shellfish Pokemon as she smiled back to the Alolan Water type starter Pokemon Whom was blushing back at this as the Former's Trainer was looking back to the latter's Trainer with smiles present on their faces.
"Hey Arven, That was actually pretty good with the Rapid Spin block instead of just having Cloyster close her shell." Said Juliana as she felt her emotions rising with her blushing checks. "Pretty Impressive I admit, And you're not much for battles beyond the Titans and what happened in Area Zero as well…"
"Aw thanks Julie, But It's nothing Compared to Nemona's Tactics though, Just trying to mix things up for you and Marina.. that's all…" Said Arven as he smiled back to Juliana, His Own Checks blushing slightly at this praise as well.
"Well, It's still something Arven, And it's shows you're getting better at battles at least." Juliana added on with her blushing checks and increased heartbeat present as well form her Crush.
"Still, Excited for the Festival Arven?" The Palafin Mermaid continued as memories of her Childhood enter her mind, No doubt remembering her own experiences during Summer Festivals with her Family in her Childhood,
One of the Few Times she get to spend time with her Father on the Surface given she and her Mother's Natures as Mermaids means they can't spend time together with him as much as normal families could.
Even if she's not comfortable with the legends of the Loyal Three form what she and Penny read form yesterday, The Festival seems fun to experience even if it's not with her father but her three new friends as well.
"I Guess you can say that… Just not so sure about Carmine even if she did promised to lend us some of her and Kieran's spare Yukatas for the Festival…." Arven continued as Penny added her two cents in.
"Still, She and her Brother are still pretty Fishy if you ask me…" Said Penny with a slight tone of caution while she reads the news article on her Phone.
"And even ignoring Carmine's dislike for Nemona, I can't shake off the feeling of wariness about them… There's something about them that doesn't feel right..."
"You got a point about that Penny…" Juliana admitted as she recalled earlier when the Kitakami Siblings asked them to meet outside the Community Centre regarding the Mask of Festivals and possible attires they can wear for it.
(XXX)
Earlier that day, Outside the Community Centre:
"So apparently Carmine wants us to meet us here…" Said Juliana as she looked back to her Friends as they waited for the Kitakami Siblings (Jacq, Raifort and Briar are off doing their own things atm) to arrive.
"I wonder what she wants with us? She continued as Penny looked back to her.
"Well, we do know how we're also taking part in the Festival of Masks…" Said Penny as she followed the others while she looked at a News Article on her Phone, which reads "Royal Galarian Celebrities still MIA' as it's headline, Which is currently bothering her not just because she's a Galarian but for how eerie it was for how it took place at the same time of the Recent Theft of her Other Uncle's Former Company as well.
"You're here…. Good." Carmine admitted to Juliana, Arven, Nemona and Penny (Less Nemona and moreso the other Three however) with Kieran by her side as they looked to each other.
"I Suppose you Four needed something to wear for the Festival of Masks Right?"
"Yup, We do…" Said Juliana as she looked back to her with a smile on her face, no doubt trying to make thing less tense between the Kitakami Siblings and she and her Friends.
"Well, For once you're in luck." Said Carmine as she looked back to them.
"Me and Kiki's grandparents are willing to loan you guys some Yukatas for the Festivals at least… So meet us at the Evening and we'll give them to you…" Carmine continued as she tried her best to remain netural around Nemona as well.
"That's sounds good." Said Nemona as she tried her best to not be insensitive to the Kitakami Siblings.
"Well, Just, Just meet us later at me and Kiki's Place tonight if you want the Yukatas ok?" Said Carmine as she hid her current rage at the Girl whom 'stole' her mother's affection form her.
"Let's go Kiki…" Said Carmine as the Malamar Cecaelia stormed off form the Group, No doubt ready to scream but resisting as much as possible.
"Well… Eh, S-see you later in the evening…" Kieran admitted as he followed his sister, no doubt the latter already trying to not lose in front of Nemona (And risk exposing themselves as Geeta's Children (And Cecaelia) in a fit of Anger)
Juliana, Arven, Nemona and Penny remained slient at this (The Champion Ranked Heiress especially given Carmine's Intense dislike for her is still something she never understood since while it's understandable to feel frustrated to lose a battle, it's another to feel this much anger right now…)
"Well, Let's not dwell on it for now guys…" Said Juliana as she looked back to her Friends. "And Nemona, I say we better give Carmine some space for now, and try not to dwell on her too much, We'll help you out with her later at least."
"Sure thing…" Said Nemona as she decided to dwell on Carmine and her brother later for the time being, The Four Friends so discuss their plans for later as well.
(XXX)
"Agreeing on you there Penny…" Said Arven with a sigh as no doubt while Kieran seems to be a decent kid atm, His sister can be someone whom you won't exactly be friends with immediately (Then again, he was once the same as well until he meet Juliana…)
But there's also there's also how they're oddly interested in Juliana as well, And both siblings are giving rather odd looks to his first Friend/Crush as well,
It may not be a crush of their own to her, but it's not exactly normal or even similar to Carmine's Grudge on Nemona however…
"Arven, Are you ok?" Juliana questioned in concern to the Son of Professor Sada as her Crush simply smiled back to her in a assuring look.
"Oh it's nothing Julie…" Said Arven to his First Friend/Crush as she smiled back to him. "Don't worry about it."
"Alright then…" Said Juliana as she sense Arven's worries via her Palafin nature but decide it's best to ask him later as no doubt he's trying to not get overworried right now as well.
"Oh, So Penny, How was Nemona Yesterday?" Said Juliana as the Mermaid approached her Friend with her Team by her side. "Was things good with her?"
"I haven't gotten the chance to ask since you and her arrived late last night after Nemona's intense training yesterday, so was it something?"
"Let's just say it WAS something at least…." Said Penny as she rolled her eyes at Nemona's Ethuanism while her Slyveon played her Nintendo Switch and licked Strawberry Jam form a Jam Packet her Trainer gave her as a Snack.
"And I can officially say Nemona's even more Obsessed with Battles then even LEON at least…"
(XXX)
What happened last Night, In the Barren Paradise:
"Alright Hakomo-o! Use Outrage onto Conkeldurr!" Said Nemona as she was currently battling a swarm of the Brutal Fighting Types of Unova with her newly caught Hakomo-o, Whom just recently evolved as the New Pokemon while initially unsure of her new Trainer felt a sense of excitement and growing strength form her.
Convincing her to stay with her as well.
And not only has she evolved, She can feel Nemona's Odd sense of energy has been influcing her as well.
And now she wanted to become even stronger as well because of it.
"Haka…MO-O!"
Hakamo-o quickly rushed towards the horde Giant Concrete wielding Pokemon, Quickly unleashing a barrage of slashes and punches onto it, Knocking them out instantly as well.
"Great Job Hakamo-o! You did Great!" Said Nemona as she gave her Pokemon a Sitrus Berry as a Good Job Treat which the Pokemon happily accepted.
All while Penny was currently watching them in disbelief and shock, no doubt how into Battling and Training Nemona was as well.
Suddenly, Hakamo-o suddenly began to glow as she began to grow bigger and her scales turned shinier in the Process.
Which shortly afterwards, the Light dissipated and in Hakamo's Place… Was:
"Kommo-o!" Shouted the newly evolved Pokemon as Nemona smiled back to the Fruits of her Labor being paid off as well.
"You did it Kommo-o!" Said Nemona as she jumped up and down in joy at the results she has just gotten form her newest Pokemon's Evolution (And no doubt going to help shake up her battles even more, especially with Juliana)
"Mo-o!" Said the Pesudo Legendary of Alola as the Champion Ranked Trainer of Paldea hugged her newly evolved Pokemon, All while Penny looked back in shocked alongside her Vee-vees.
'Well, That was unexpected…' Penny thought to herself as she remained baffled at Nemona's Intense Training, No doubt now part of her life as one of her friends due to Juliana being friends with both of them.
(XXXX)
"At this right, I swear Nemona may not even be Human with the way she trains her Team…" Penny admitted with a sigh as she rolled her eyes at her new friend's behaviour as while she's form the Region with the Showiest League, She's never a fan of Galar Champion Leon for how in your face he was at times (A Feeling shared by Sinnohians and Unovans as well)
That and how she also hatched her new Froakie while training as well, and currently training her as well.
At least she's not stupid like her OTHER Uncle though (The Dumbest Person Alive if you ask her, and a Surprising topic shared by many as well after the Darkest Day Incident), And the less about him OR her abusive Mother, The better…
Suddenly, Their Rotom Phones began to ring as the Trio quickly answered it.
Soon Nemona's Face appeared on it with an excited grin present on her lips.
"Guys! Guys! You won't believe whom I just meet near the Kitakami Hall!" Said Nemona in Joy as she looked back to her friends.
"Let me guess… You either found some legendary Pokemon or a Shiny? Maybe even both…." Snarked Penny towards Nemona as she simply rolled her eyes at this,
"Even Better!" She said back to her Friends whom looked back at her in surprise at this.
"Really how so?" Questioned Juliana as Nemona chuckled back at this.
"Meet me at the Entrance to the Timeless Woods, I'll explain everything there!" Said Nemona before she quickly sent the group her current location so they can tell the Flying Taxi Driver where to go.
(XXXX)
Several Minutes Later, Near the Entrance of Timeless Woods:
Once they arrived at the Base of Oni Mountain via the Flying Taxi, Nemona quickly explained of what she saw to her Friends.
"Well, I was training Froakie and after she evolved into Frogadier and when I arrived at Kitakami Hall, I saw a Woman in Incognito asking about the Crystal Pool (and if she and her Friend can see it) to the Caretaker, But she's actually someone whom's actually well known in the Acting and Champion World as well!"
"Well whom was this woman, and why is she and her Friend so important to you?" Arven questioned to Nemona…
As he soon got his answers as two Woman (One Blond and One Platnium Blond) exited form the Woods with their Pokemon by their sides.
Nemona and Juliana both looked in Surprise at the two Womans for similar but different reasons:
For Nemona, It was two of her Most Prominent Childhood Heroes (Besides La Primera AKA Geeta herself) standing before her very eyes
But for Juliana, While the Blond Woman wasn't someone she's a massive fan of compared to her first Paldean Friend, But the Platinum Blond Woman?
She only seen her a Few Time whenever she visited her Tribe as well, And she wasn't the Kalos Champion to her, But the Princess of the Kalosian Merfolk to her.
But it was no doubt both the Champions of Sinnoh and Kalos in the Flesh right before them:
Cynthia and Diantha.
"A-are you two Cynthia and Diantha?" Questioned Juliana in shock as Arven and Penny are also just as surprised about whom they just meet,
Two Champions in the flesh and in Kitakami of all places…
But on the other hand, Nemona was as excited as both a Scorbunny on Sugar as well as a Child on Christmas Day as she was already fangirling over two of her favourite trainers of all time.
"Ohmygosh!AreyoureallyCynthiaandDiantha!?Ican'tbelieveit'sreallyyoutwo!I'mNemonaandI'maChampionRankedTrainerinNarjanjaAcademyand-" Said Nemona in a Rapid and Excited tone as both Diantha and Cynthia looked in surprise at the Paldean Champion Ranked Trainer going full fangirl over them at the moment.
"Eh, Can you four introduce yourselves first for me and Cynthia?" Diantha questioned in Surprise at this, The Milotic Mermaid already getting shocked by Nemona's Praises for her.
"Well, I'm Juliana, And this is Nemona, Arven and Penny…." Juliana answered back to her.
"And We're students form the Naranja Academy…."
(XXX)
Once several introductions were made, Juliana and her Friends soon sat down with Cynthia and Diantha
"So you four are on a Class Trip to Kitakami?" Said Cynthia as she looked back to the Four Students after Nemona has clamed down and Juliana, Arven and Penny explained everything.
"Yeah, Alongside two students form the Blueberry Academy whom coincidentally live her as well." Said Juliana with a smile and nod, Unaware of Diantha's brief look of shock when she mentioned the students (abit indirectly)
'She can't be talking about them at least…' Diantha thought to herself as she knew that there's only two students in the Blueberry Academy that originate form Kitakami.
And it's the Children of the ONE Person she's the most uncomfortable with aside form the Female Team Flare Scientists (Whom are Cecaelias as well), Especially given how Secretive she was about her kids as well.
"I See…" Admitted Cynthia as she looked. "Me and Diantha are actually researching myths in Kitakami as well… Checking if there's ties to Hisui here as well."
"I See…." Said Penny as she looked back to the Two Champions.
"And also, Sorry about Nemona, She's a little Energetic about Battles at least…" Arven added on with a sigh. "Not only is she a Champion Ranked Trainer but she's really been itching for a battle as much as she could…"
"Aw it's no big deal…" Said Cynthia with a Chuckle. "Besides, She's clearly have the Potential to rival even me and Leon at least…."
Cynthia then notices Arven and looks at him with Mabostiff on the Side, Which the Sinnoh Champion notices with an interest in her eyes as well.
'So this is Arven, Sada and Turo's Son...' She thought to herself as she knew while Sada and Turo are rather reclusive Researchers compared to ones like Sycarmore or even her own Mentor Professor Rowan, The Knowledge of their Son is somewhat public even if his birth was rumored to have Turo vanished without a trace, his wife soon following sometime later...)
'Interesting... I suppose with the Rumors and Recent Research about an Eleventh Noble Pokemon and it being tied to Paldea, Maybe Arven could have some answers at least...'
"That is pretty True Cynthia…" Said Diantha as she looked back to Nemona with a slight smile,
As even if she was mentioned a Lot by Geeta during Meetings with other Champions, Nemona doesn't seem bad compared to her however… Plus her energetic-ness IS Something to say the least.
'Well, I haven't seen someone this excited since Mairin when she and Alain meet Steven Stone for the First time…' Diantha thought to herself.
She then looked back to Juliana as the Hoennian Girl was currently being a Mother to her Poplilo with her Quaquaval, Tastugiri and Palafin playing along as well.
Her fangs, Her closeness to her Water Type Pokemon and Treating them like family and also Palafin Clicks as well. She can also sense similar energy to herself that Adult Merfolk can sense in other mermaids as well.
That Juliana was a Mermaid like her.
"Hey how about a Battle with you two?" Said Nemona to the Two Champions, Interrupting Diantha's Train of Thought and shocking her Friends in the Process.
"Say WHAT NOW!?" Said Penny in shock as while it's Inveitable Nemona's Love for Battle would rise at some point,
It was unexpected to hear her challenging two of the most prominent Champions in the world (Especially THE Champion) out of the Blue… But it's clear this is the Proof (in Penny's Eyes) for someone to see how Nemona's officially married to Battles.
But to their surprise, Cynthia simply let out a Chuckle.
"Sure, If you and your Friends can beat me and Diantha in a battle, We'll give you two something good as well." Said the Sinnoh Champion as she turns to Diantha and began discussing with her while the Paldea Gang looks at each other before Juliana breaks the ice.
"Well, I guess it won't hurt…" She said as Arven and Penny decided to bite the Bullet and get on with it ("Least we're not dealing with fighting Freaking Giratina at least" Penny muttered to herself) as the trainers readied themselves for battle.
Juliana, Arven, Nemona and Penny choosen Quaval, Scovillain, Skelidrege and Usagi while Cynthia and Diantha has picked Lucario and Meera (Diantha's Alomomola) as their Pokemon.
"Alright, Battle Began!" Said Diantha's Gardevior Auroa as she decided to act as the Champion for this Battle (A Four Vs Two Friendly Battle to be exact) with Cynthia's Garchomp by the Side.
"Lucario! Aura Sphere onto Quaquval!/Meera Hydro Pump onto Skelidrege!" Shouted the Two Champions as their Pokemon Fired their Attacks onto their Foes
"Quaval! Use Ice Spinner with Aqua Step to Counter back the Aura Sphere!" Shouted Juliana
"(Got it Sis!)" Said the Quaquaval as she began to spin like a Top with her Legs Surrounded by Water, Kicking the Aura Sphere back to it's foe whom Cynthia's Lucario with a Meteor Mash Punch.
"Great job Julie!" Said Nemona as the Hydro Pump was reaching Skelidrege which Nemona smirked back at this
"Skelidrege! Disrupt the Water with an Overdrive Attack." Said Nemona as her New Starter nodded back in agreement,
Skeldirege then let out burst of Electric Soundwaves form his Jaws, Distrupting the attack much to Diantha's Shock.
'Well that's new….' Said the Kalosian Mermaid/Champion as she never expected Skelidrege to use a Move like Overdrive before… though it's not a surprise given a recent discovery about it and it's fellow Paldea Starters as well.
"Alright then! Scorvillain! Energy Ball onto Alomomola/Use Mystical Fire onto Lucario Usagi!"
"Scor!/Eon!" Said the Two Pokemon, Quickly taking advantage of the distractions as Scorvillain blasted a ball of Grass Type Energy onto Meera while Usagi fired a Blast of Magical Fire onto Lucario,
The Latter dodging with the Former Quickly casting a Protect to shield itself form the Energy Ball attack.
"Not bad for a start…." Said Cynthia as she drew out her Lipstick as Diantha did the same with her Necklace.
"But do you think you're ready for this?" She said as Diantha looked back to her the Naranja Students.
"Well, This may be a Friendly Match but let's just say it's Cynthia's Idea for this…" Diantha admitted as the Four Students (Save Nemona) looked in Dread about what's to come, Given their encounter with Carmine's Mightyena may make them expose to it, but a Champion's Mega Pokemon is making her Hyena look like a Magikarp/Sunkern very soon….
"Meera!/Lucario!, Mega Evolve!" Shouted Diantha and Cynthia as they readied their Keystones with Cynthia revealing her's under her Lipstick.
The Two Champions quickly tapped their Keystones as Rainbow coloured lights spewed from them, connecting with similar tendrils of light form the Mega Stones of Lucario and Alomomola as well.
The two Pokemon began to change their Apperances form the Light as it soon dissipates to reveal their new Mega Forms.
Cynthia's Mega Lucario looks exactly like what one would expect a Mega Lucario (A More Powerful looking Lucario with Long tendrils) but the Inclusion of Mega Alomomola was something to say the Least as it's become White with Pink Accents and a shimmering Pink Aura with Prism like Eyes and Angelic Wings.
This is Mega Almomola, Diantha's Pokemon Sister and her Other Starter besides Auroua.
"Not good…" Arven admitted to his friends as he glanced at the two Megas before them.
No doubt while not the Pokemon they're assiocated with, The Mere energy the two Mega Evolved Pokemon give out is making the Naranja Students more uncomfortable as well at their chances of winning this battle.
"Well, do you guys still think we got a chance?" Penny questioned with concern as she looked back to her Friends, With Juliana and Arven just as concern as she was (As while this isn't the same Life or death situation that was the Paradise Protection Protocol) while Nemona was instead more excited for fighting two of her childhood Idols even more.
"Well, No matter what, We can do this guys!" Said Juliana with a firm tone as she looked back to her foes.
"Let's do this."
"That's the spirit Juliana!" Said Nemona as she looked back to her Friends, "This is just a friendly match, but let's give it our all!"
Arven and Penny glanced back to each other before looking back to their foes as like Juliana and Nemona has said:
The Real Battle has just begun and neither Side are planning to give up in this Fight.
And it's about to get more intense as well for both of them as well.

Author's Note:
Well, I figured I showcase what Volo's been up to lately at least.
Let's just say the Treasures of Ruin would play a Role in this Story
As for the Dragapult in this Chapter, Let's just say wait and see down the line (Though all I can say is, It's on a Certain Character's updated Team in the DLC, And they actually improve said character as well via said team)
Also hope you liked the Larry Cameo as well at least, It's not much but it's there at least

And Yup, Cynthia and Diantha's Meeting with the Paldea Gang is finally here.
And so is a Battle Between them as well (A Mega VS Tera battle to be exact) with Juliana, Arven and Penny's Starters and Nemona's New Team Starter vs whom I consider Cynthia and Diantha's Backup Megas (Their non Ace Megas) as well for my Stories.
Sure it's a Short Battle but the Next Chapter will make up for it at least.
(Also, Amusing I made Diantha a Major Player before Legends:Z-A's Annoucement, Same with using Megas in my Story as well)
Also, If you're wondering, Skelidrege can learn Overdrive in my Stories as well, It's for a Certain thing Nemona and the Rest of the Paldea Gang are getting very soon as well….

Also, Here are Mega Alomomola's Stats BTW much like Mega Mightyena's Back in Chapter 3 (4 in terms of numbering):
Mega Alomomola
Water/Fairy
Mystic Energy (Special Version of Huge Power)
Mega Evolves with the Alomomolite
Stats (Non Mega): 165/75/80/40/45/65
Stats (Mega): 165/35/50/100/110/105
Dex Entry: Dubbed the Angel of the Sea, Mega Alomomola is consider one of the Most Beautiful Pokemon in the World, It's Shining Scales appear to be like a Prism and reflects light like a mirror and also shines in all seven colours of the Rainbow with it's scales.
Apperance: A Larger Alomomola with Rainbow Fish Scales with Pink Accents and a Shining Pink Aura covering it's body with it's eyes being Prism like and fins being more angelic like.
Alomomola gains Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Disarming Voice, Draining Kiss, Moon Blast Aura Sphere, Earth Power and Energy Ball as new Moves)

And once again to explain some stuff:
-Deity Legendaries: Basically what the Main Legendary People in Regions worship as well which is typically the Box Art Legendaries (With examples being Arceus obviously being Sinnoh's and the Creator of the Pokemon World and Kalos Worshipping Xerneas and Yveltal as well),
Since Terapagos is an in Universe Engima (And the Raidons are moreso Apex Species then Actual Legendaries), I figured Paldeans worhsipping Arceus would be logical since their therotical Deity Legendary is what I mentioned above (Galar I suppose while Zacian and Zamazenta aren't as well known as Arceus or the Creation Trio, They're techincally worshipped as the Heroes of Legend in Galar at least)
(Though given my whole Lore of connecting Terapagos to the Hero of Hisui, I figured Arceus would have been known by Ancient Paldeans because of it, How? You'll have to wait and see)
-Nemona's Training and Quick Evolution of her Kommo-o: Remember how Mochi Mayhem gave us the interesting take that Nemona not only managed to show some resistance to Peacharunt's Control, But also trained two New Pokemon to champion level rather instantly as well.
Yeah, I'm including it for my Story to show how even Nemona being herself can train a Team (No wonder it's Canon she has to hold back and she even managed to Beat Kieran as well, That Girl's certified Crazy with a Capital C)
So hope you liked it at least.
-Penny's Slyveon and playing with her Trainer's Nintendo Switch: It's a Minor Headcanon of mine that Penny's Slyveon likely knows how to operate a Computer and even has her online account as well (Likely using her Trainer's Stuff as well.)
So yeah, Online Gamer Slyveon is my headcanon for Penny's Slyveon at least (She's also the Leader of the Veevees with Kirito (Penny's Umbreon) being her Brother and Second in Command as well)
Also her loving Strawberry Jam is indeed a Shout out to Ash's Pikachu's Love for Ketchup in Canon as well.
-Some Stuff regarding Diantha shown in this Chapter: Yeah, Diantha's involved in the Events of the Team Flare Stuff like Extended Media in the Mermaid Legends-Verse at least, Plus there's also some drama between them and The Team Flare Female Scientist as well…
Similarly, The mention about Alain and Marin?
Like the Paldean Winds Trio (Aliqus, Ohara and Hohma), Alain and Marin Exist in the Mermaid Legends's Verse as well and while they're not playing major roles, I have plans for the Two of them in a Possible Future Story covering Legends:Z-A Elements at least but that's for another time however.
Also, Let's just XY's Plot was altered quite a bit for Mermaid Legends to include Alain and Marin (And the mention with Steven? Well he and Alain meet differently in Mermaid Legends to say the least)
(XXXX)
Overall, Nothing else to say another then Take Care, Stay Safe, Watch your Health and See Ya! ;)
