Chapter 6

Oreburgh City-Next Morning

The girls had gone for a long walk while discussing what Miracle had seen from their daughter the night before. And amazingly the girls were not as freaked out as Mira thought they would be.

"Well she does share your DNA," Azula said.

"Don't be surprised if somehow she has all three of ours, Zula," Saki smiled.

"Back to our little girl, she used aromatherapy. It's a grass move, a type neither of us are." Miracle said.

The trio stood there for a few moments, and then Harmony began to stir in the next room. Saki stood up and went to get her while Miracle and Azula continued to talk. "What if the DNA she has allows her to unlock any move?"

"You mean like Mew? Do you have any basis on that?"

"I'm thinking back, as a baby she would only have access to moves she could use. Like baby doll eyes, or even fake tears could have been used on us without us even realizing it."

Miracle took a few moments to comprehend it, "That is an interesting take. But it's not something we would have ever thought of before her little display last night."

"Hey you two, get in here now!" Sakinah hollered. They ran to the baby's room quickly and saw exactly what Saki was pointing out.

"Is she floating in the air?" Miracle asked, not knowing if her mind was playing tricks on her.

"Yeah…She's using magnet rise." Azula reached out and the second her hand got close enough the light aura around Harmony disappeared and the baby dropped the short distance to the bed below.

Harmony was shocked awake from the small crash upon the pillow, "Mommas?"

Saki grabbed her up and gave her a big ole smooch, "its okay baby, me and your mommies wanted to wake you up together."

Harmony nodded, "I need to potty." The girls nodded and Saki whisked their little one off to the bathroom.

"So. Are you ready to take on Rocca today?" Azula asked.

"Oh yeah, I've got my team all planned out pending on her rules." Miracle smiled, "Chimchar, and Dhelmise will start things off. Kirlia and Lapras will back them up."

"Really? I thought you would use more of your bug types, since they are supposed to be your specialty."

"I don't have many strong ones on me at this moment, I have Kricketot, but he would be killed at a rock gym at this moment. Same with Pineco and Yanma."

"What about that Durant you raved about? Have you done much training with him in the years since you caught him?"

"Yeah I've trained him a shit load. But I guess you're right, in that I haven't used him as much as I should….I'll have a talk with Uncle Tracy then."

"Okay, I think we are ready to go," Sakinah said coming into the room with a laughing Harmony in tow.

"All done!" The littlest one cheered.

"Good, I was talking with Zula and she brought up an issue with the team I was gonna use today. So give me a moment to transfer a Pokémon or two and I should be good to go."

Miracle walked out of the room and Saki elbowed Azula in the ribs, "Really, the lack of bugs conversation. I thought we were going to break it to her easily."

"I did, by poking and prodding her ego." She smiled evilly.

"Why do you antagonize her, you know she will just get you back tenfold?"

"Well, usually her revenge leads to an all-day power struggle that will also end up with the two of us getting some of the best lovin this world has ever been able to comprehend."

"Well? I guess I can't argue with that. So take the little one and let's head out."

"My pleasure," Azula reached a finger out and gave Harmony a little zap on her cheeks, "Come here my little Pichu."

"Yay!"

Pokémon Center- Foyer

Miracle was sitting at the console of the video phone, with her Uncle Tracy on the other end. The girls came in as she was saying her goodbyes.

"Thanks Uncle Tracy, I appreciate the immediate response."

"No problem kiddo, that guy has been training nonstop since the four of you left." Tracy smiled.

The screen went blank and Miracle stood up to greet all her girls, "Well I got the main change I wanted."

"So." Saki sighed, "Who did you go with?"

"Pineco. " Miracle said.

"Okay, why did you go with him?" Azula asked.

"Pineco are a species known for…..well premature detonation. But if you can harness the power they have, then you can have a few easy wins on your side."

"So…he learned a new move that will greatly help your odds," Saki said, "If nothing you are predictable when it comes to this."

"Think what you want," Miracle smiled, "But I have a trick or two saved in my back pockets at all times. The girls both nodded their heads and followed the cocky Miracle out of the Pokémon Center and over to the gym.

They swung the doors open and were over taken by the two teens they had met the night before, "Teran, Garrett! You two feeling better today." Saki asked.

The eldest, Garret, spoke first, "Yeah we all had a huge talk last night. And some tears were shed."

"What about you Teran?"

"Were good." He said shyly.

"Good, cuz I didn't want to beat up your Pokémon some more," Miracle laughed.

"That must be Miracle I'm hearing," A voice spoke, coming from the hallway.

"It would be me, and I have come to kick your ass Lady Rocca," Miracle smiled.

"I should feel hurt by your abrupt nature, but I feel that's just you picking a fight with me just to have fun."

"Wow, she knows you about as well as we do," Azula said, "Should we feel jealous?"

"Not one bit Zappy," Miracle leaned in and gave her a kiss, "Now Rocca, what are the ground rules for the gym here?"

"Well, I'm making a small change for you today. It will be a two on two double battle, fast and manic, something I've felt like doing for a while now."

"That's definitely not what I was expecting," Mira said quizzically.

"And that is why I'm the gym leader. Now you follow me while the girls can take a seat in the stands. Boys take the girls to their seats."

"Okay," They both said in unison.

The group split up and Miracle followed Rocca into the main section of the gym, revealing a slightly different looking interior then the night before.

"What the hell? Why is there a pond in the middle of the battlefield?" Miracle asked.

"You'll find out, now there is our referee for today." Rocca waived to the tall, skinny, pale faced man, "I guess he is merely decoration for this battle though. Now take your place and let's get this thing started."

"Welcome everybody," The ref declared, "Today we have a double battle with no substitutions. We have the Challenger, Miracle Ketchum versus our Gym Leader Rocca Rockwaller. First to lose both Pokémon loses. The gym leader will reveal her Pokémon first."

"Rampardos, Omastar, let's go." Her pair of prehistoric Pokémon appeared and Miracle immediately knew the reasoning behind the pond in the middle of the battlefield now.

"Then I guess I will go with Pineco, and Chimchar." Miracles smaller Pokémon took their places and the field was set.

"Okay, now that the Pokémon are chosen let's get this battle going." The referee declared.

"Chimchar use ember, Pineco use swift." The two Pokémon's attacks were launched and merged in midair, striking the rock Pokémon with greater force, but still little damage was done.

"Omastar use spike cannon." The spikes on its back lit up and then the mollusk Pokémon let loose a volley of spikes flying across the pond down upon the younger Pokémon.

"Pineco counter with pin missile, try an redirect as much as you can." Pineco began to spin and launching his own volley of spikes. Some of each attack struck one another in the air, while others continued on their trajectory and landing glancing blows. "That was close."

"Miracle watch the water!" Sakinah yelled.

"Shit I forgot about Omastar being part water," Mira said to herself. But she looked up and saw the spiral Pokémon was still standing on the other side of the water.

"Surf!" The water from the pond rose high into the air and crashed onto Miracle's side of the battlefield.

"Pineco use drill run to block some of the attack!" Miracle yelled. Pineco began to rotate at high speeds, allowing him to divert the water away from him and Chimchar.

"Zen head butt!" Rampardos flew out of the water and struck Chimchar in his gut.

"Drill Run!" Pineco again began to spin and took off at Rampardos.

"Hydro pump!" Rocca yelled. Her Omastar reared back and picked off the spinning Pineco. The smaller Pokémon flailed about as it was struck with water, but was still able to land a weaker, glancing blow upon Rampardos.

"So that's how you do it. The pond is just a decoy when you use a Pokémon like Omastar, its really your Rampardos that gets the use from it."

"Sorry that it took you so long to find out my plan. But it looks like your little guys don't have enough punch left in them, especially when I use my favorite combo." Those words set her Pokémon in motion. Omastar Rolled into a ball and began rolling around, picking up speed, while Rampardos dove back into the water. Omastar then used all that speed he had gained to roll right across the water.

"Oh shit!" Miracle said.

"Rampardos use head smash." The dinosaur Pokémon popped out of the water and blasted Omastar with his head, nearly doubling his speed, "Goodnight Miracle."

"Not good." Miracle was at a loss, but as her thoughts drifted to her first possible loss in a few years, she saw Pineco knock Chimchar out of the way, taking the hit all by his self, "Pineco!"
