(A/N)
Hello and welcome back to another chapter of The Pokemon Mage.
Finally got a chance to start working on this story and I appreciate the reviews and follows I've been getting.
What do you all think of the new cover art I've done? I wanted to do a mixture of Fairy Tail and Pokemon to not only just the background, but to the title and characters as well. Be sure to look at more of the designs on my Instagram and DeviantArt account.
One person ask if Ash will get Charizard. Sadly, he won't get Charizard since Natsu already has Charmander. I know, it's one of Ash's main Pokemon, but I did plan out a few Pokemon for the characters, but I couldn't have done it without your suggestions. Plus, I want to go into a unique direction.
As for the design differences, let's say that the five main characters will have upgrades to their new designs from the cover art after the Lullaby Arc.
To recap what happened last time, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Ash joined Erza Scarlet, an S Class wizard in Fairy Tail, to stop the Dark Guild, Eisenwald. Eisenwald plans to use the demon flute, Lullaby to cast a deadly spell, so the Fairy Tail team plans to stop them before many people will die.
Will Team Natsu be able to stop them in time? Or will Eisenwald succeed? To find out the answer, let the journey continue!
The Pokemon Mage Opening 1 [V Volt -

The Pokemon Mage Logo appears in the sky.
So come on with me on this journey, always moving to the light reaching for me
Scene cuts to Team Natsu riding the train, much to the discomfort of Natsu, who is leaning against Lucy as she tries to get him off of her while Gray looks out the window, Erza is eating a strawberry cake, and Ash petting Pikachu.
Rain clouds cover the sunny sky, but I know we'll make it through if we try
Natsu and Gray are butting heads with each other with Lucy panicking in the background while Ash attempts to break up the fight before Erza steps in and stops the fight by stepping in between Natsu and Gray with her arms out, causing the boys to get scared.
Use your courage and you'll see that you can be anything you want to be
Team Natsu are walking down the streets of town before Lucy runs ahead and stops in front of a clothing store for Pokemon Coordinators, causing her to squeal with excitement.
Cherish every single encounter
And then you'll be the best challenger
Five mysterious trainers appear while each of them are with their Pokemon: The first with Elekid, the second with Alakazam, the third with Glaceon, the fourth with Aron, and the fifth with Squirtle
If I keep moving ahead, my hopes and dreams will come right to me
Ash and Natsu running down the fields before stopping at the edge of a cliff as they see a cloud of darkness engulfing a town, causing them to tighten a fist in anger.
I've learned this lesson from you that these dreams come true, so
I'll use this strength to
The two turned around and sees Lucy, Erza, Gray, and the rest of Fairy Tail smiling and waving at them.

Team Natsu starts walking before they jump off the cliff.
All of our bonds glow a fiery red and then spread out for the world to see
Touching everyone's heart as they all are a part of this energy inside of me
Cut to Team Natsu doing various activities: Ash, Natsu, and Lucy running away from a swarm of Beedrills, Erza and Natsu clashing with each other, Gray and Ash fighting a plant monster while Lucy is caught in its vines, and their pokemon dodging multiple magic attacks before they jump into battle.
Shining blue, all our hopes hatch anew and the yellow flowers start to bloom
All of the world can feel it too
Quick cut of Team Natsu commanding their Pokemon to attack: Lucy commanding Klefki to use Fairy Wind, Gray commanding Totodile and Snorunt to use Water Gun and Icy Wind, Erza commanding Ivysaur and Honedge to use Razor Leaf and Slash, Natsu commanding Charmander and Munchlax to use Flamethrower and Headbutt, and Ash commanding Pikachu, Froakie, and Starly to use Electro Ball, Water Pulse, and Wing Attack.
Team Natsu jumps in the air as their magic circles appear.
We have dragon, ghost and flying, poison, bug, water, rock,
Grass and dark, electric, ice and normal too
Fire fighting and steel, and then psychic and fairy

Save File 5 - Fairies in the Wind
Clover Town
The Guild Masters in Fiore are currently eating and having conversations with one another to keep each other updated on what's happening.
"I'm jealous Makky~" An elderly bald man gushed. This is Bob, the founder and Guild Master of Blue Pegasus. "Your Pokemon Mages are full of life and full of cutie pies~ I've heard you got two new members."
"Oh, you must be talking about Ash and Lucy." Makarov said. "Yes, they're our newest recruits. Samuel has been telling me about Ash before he joined. He was once a student of our old friend."
"I bet he's a real cutie~" Bob gushed. "And what about Lucy?"
"Oh, she's got a body that won't quit." Makarov said, causing Bob to cover his eyes.
"Ohh! So naughty!"
"I wouldn't be joking around if I were you, Makarov." A middle aged man with blonde hair and black shades said. This is Goldmine, the founder and Guild Master of Quatro Cerberus. "Your Pokemon Mages may have spirit, but you gotta admit that they go overboard sometimes."
"Yes, I do fear that they'll destroy an entire city one of these days." A beautiful young woman with brown hair said. This is Diantha, the Guild Master of Mermaid Heels and she is one of the youngest Guild Masters in Fiore. "I can see why the Magic Council have a good reason to be hostile towards your guild."
"There's nothing to worry about!" Makarov laughed. "They're just jealous that my Pokemon Mages are hot!"
"Oh Makky, you shouldn't talk about your Pokemon Mages that way." Bob gushed.
"Well, at least you and your guild show a lot of compassion." Diantha admitted.
"Deli! Deli (Master Makarov! Master Makarov!)" A Delibird squawks as it flies over to Makarov.
"Hm?" Makarov looks over to Delibird as the Delivery Pokemon lands on the table. "Why hello Delibird. How can I help you?"
"Delibird (You got a letter)." Delibird reaches into its bag and pulls out an envelope before handing it over to Makarov.
"A letter?" Makarov inspects the letter before reading the front. "Ahh, it's from Mirajane. Thank you, Delibird."
"Delired (You're welcome)!" Delibird squawks before it flies away.
Makarov traced his finger around the seal of the envelope, causing a mini projection of Mirajane to appear.
"Hi Master. I'm glad you made it to the conference safe and sound." Mirajane greeted.
"Hey, it's Mirajane. So how's she been doing? It's been quite a while since I've seen her." Diantha said.
"She's doing quite fine." Makarov said.
"Oh Master, you're not going to believe what happened. It may be the greatest thing to happen in the history in Fairy Tail!" Mirajane exclaimed.
"Really?" Makarov asked.
"Erza, Natsu, and Gray have all teamed up together and even brought Ash and Lucy along." Mirajane announced, shocking Makarov when he heard the first three names. "This may be the strongest team that Fairy Tail has ever seen. Sorry to bother you, but I had to tell you the exciting news! See you soon Master~!" With that, the mini projection disappeared while Makarov falls on his back.
"What's wrong Makky?" Bob asked.
"I guess you have a good reason to be afraid, huh Diantha?" Goldmine sighed.
"Erza, Natsu, and Gray? What an interesting combination." Diantha said. "But yes, I can't help but worry."
During the conversation, Makarov prays to god that the new Fairy Tail team doesn't destroy a city. Thankfully, the conference ends today and he can be back at the Guild by tomorrow afternoon.
With Team Natsu
Erza stopped driving the magic mobile as she, Ash, and Lucy are looking at the mayhem that Eisenwald caused from afar.
"I can understand cars and boats, but why would they hijack a train?" Lucy questioned.
"I never thought that a train could be use for a getaway vehicle." Ash admitted. "Don't they usually stay on the tracks?"
"That's true, but they are fast." Erza stated.
Inside the car, Natsu is laying down on the floor due to motion sickness while Gray is now in his boxers after he magically took his clothes off.
"Good thing Fletchling and Starly went on ahead to figure out where those Eisenwald guys are going." Gray said.
"You're naked Gray!" Lucy pointed out.
"Am I?" Gray asked, not even embarrassed.
"The Military's been called to action, so it's only a matter of time before someone catches them" Lucy said, noticing the Rune Knights down at the attacked station.
"I hope that's the case, Lucy." Erza said before spotting Starly and Fletchling.
"Starly, Fletchling. Did you find them?" Ash asked.
"Starly (We did)." Starly nodded.
"Fletchling (Follow us)." Fletchling chirped before he and Starly fly off while Erza activates the magic mobile to follow them.
With Eisenwald
On board the train, Erigor swung his scythe, purposely missing Kageyama and cuts a seat in half to strike fear in his subordinate.
"Let me see if I get this straight. You allowed a Fairy Tail fly to see the Lullaby flute and then let him get away?" Erigor questioned. "Is that true?"
"But it's not like he knows anything about our plan sir!" Kageyama answered out of fear. "And even if he did, there's no way that he and his stupid guild can stop us, right?"
Erigor growls before stabbing the floor of the train with his scythe, scaring Kageyama more. "We can't afford to take any chances. Fortunately, we have a strategy in place."
"Right, you mean the one at Oshibana Station." Kageyama said.
"We can't have fly buzzing around when they're not wanted." Erigor smirked while holding the flute in his hand. "I want all of you to follow Nascour's orders and eliminate them when they arrive."
"Yes sir!" The dark mages shouted.
Oshibana City
Erza continues driving the magic mobile at high speed with Gray, who is now wearing his clothes again, holding onto the top of the roof.
"Stop Erza! You're going way too fast!" Gray shouted. "You're gonna overload the SE-Plug!"
"There's no telling how many innocent people could die if Lullaby's song is played." Erza said, continuing to drive fast. "I can't slow down. We have to stop Eisenwald before it's too late."
"But what about your magic energy?" Ash asked, poking his head out the window while holding onto his hat so it won't fly off.
"Well then, I'll just rely on hand to hand combat and my Pokemon." Erza stated. "Besides, I got you, Natsu, Gray, and Lucy as backup."
Ash looks at the redhead in awe before smiling and nodding his head. He then pulled his head back in the car and looks over to Lucy, who is looking after the sick Natsu. "Will he be able to move once we get out?"
"Pika Pika (He's been like this for a while).." Pikachu said in concern.
"I hope so." Lucy said.
"Huh?" Erza then sees smoke rising from Oshibana Station. "What's that up ahead?"
Upon getting out and parking the magic mobile, Team Natsu start making their way around the crowd before they notice their eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong with them?" Ash asked.
"It looks like they're under some kind of spell." Gray said.
Ash looked over to the two flying types and takes out two pokeballs. "Thanks you two. You deserve some rest." He returned the two back into their pokeballs before putting Fletchling's pokeball in Natsu's pocket.
"Sheesh, he needs to get some medicine." Lucy sighed as she ended up being the one to carry Natsu.
Erza walked up to a conductor, who is pleading everyone to stand back until the situation has been dealt with. Unfortunately, the hypnotized crowd ignore his plead and stayed put. "What's going on?" She asked.
"Why would I tell you lady-" The conductor suddenly gets knocked out when Erza hit him to try and get answers before she starts repeating the same method to the other conductors.
"Seems like her questioning methods are a little over productive…" Lucy sighed while she carries Natsu.
"Erza got her own ways of getting things done." Gray said, who is in his boxers again.
"Gray, put on some clothes!" Ash shouted.
"Pikachu (We're in public too)!" Pikachu added as Erza walked over to the four.
"The Eisenwald Guild is inside. Let's go." Erza stated.
"Right." Gray nodded.
It's time to stop them." Ash said while Pikachu's cheeks crackle with electricity.
"I STILL need drag him around?" Lucy asked.
"Sorry…" Natsu wheezed.
Inside Oshibana Station
Team Natsu began running down the hallways of the station, noticing a few bodies around that belong to the Rune knights. They continue walking before they arrive at the main room, where a bunch of Eisenwald members are standing in front of them.
"Whoa.. There's so many of them.." Lucy gulped.
"You fiend…" Erza glares at Erigor, who smirked upon seeing the five Fairy Tail members. "I take it that you're Erigor?"
"Come on, Natsu! Wake up!" Lucy begged as she shakes the pink haired dragon slayer a few times.
"You…" Kageyama glares at Natsu. "It's your fault that I got into trouble with Erigor. Get up."
"I know that voice…" Natsu said, slowly gaining conscious.
"So you must be members of Fairy Tail." The four members looked over and sees Nascour in front of the other members of Eisenwald.
"Who are you?" Ash asked.
"My name's Nascour. I'm Erigor's Second in Command." Nascour said. "And it'll be the last name you get to hear before you all meet your demise."
"We're not threatened by any of you." Erza stated. "Tell me what you're doing with Lullaby."
"I'm guessing you haven't heard yet, have you?" Erigor chuckled before he hovers in the air.
"Whoa, he can fly!" Ash gasped.
"That's wind magic." Lucy pointed out as Erigor lands on top of a speaker pole.
"You plan to broadcast the Lullaby song!?" Erza asked.
"It's thanks to me and my Pokemon, we were able to lure in the entire population of Oshibana to this train station." Nascour said.
"You were the one that brought them here?" Gray asked.
"Yes and once we raise the volume enough, we'll be able to extinguish the entire city with our melody of death." Erigor added.
"Why would you do that!?" Ash asked.
"This is our message to those who turned a blind eye on use after they stripped our rights." Erigor stated.
"But killing them won't get your rights back. It's only going to make it worse!" Lucy pointed out. "That's the whole reason you were kicked out of the League in the first place!"
"We gave up on that idea a long time ago." Erigor said. "We want power, then we'll be able to wash away the sins in the past and claim control of the future."
"You guys are completely insane!" Lucy shouted.
"You talk too much." Nascour growled before sending out Malamar. "Dark Pulse."
"Malamar!" Malamar opened its beak and fires a Dark Pulse at Lucy.
"Let me and Dusclops back you up." Kageyama said as he sent out Dusclops. "Shadow Punch!"
"Clops!" Dusclops and Kageyama fired a barrage of shadow punches at Lucy.
"Thunderbolt!"
"Flamethrower!"
The two dark mages look surprised when both of their attacks were obliterated by Natsu's Charmander and Ash's Pikachu.
"You again…!" Kageyama growled.
"I knew I heard that voice from somewhere." Natsu grinned.
"Glad to see you back up." Ash smirked.
"Thanks you two." Lucy smiled.
"Hey, take a look at these Pokemon." Natsu said, catching Lucy's attention as they took out their pokedexes and pointed them at Malamar and Dusclops respectively.
[Malamar - the Overturning Pokémon, and the evolved form of Inkay. Possessing the strongest hypnotic powers of any Pokémon, Malamar can compel others to do anything it wants them to do.]
[Dusclops - the the Beckon Pokémon. Its body is completely hollow, and like a black hole, it can swallow anything. Some say that its victims never return.]
"I think it's time we get things started." Ash said before he took out his aura staff and a pokeball. "Froakie, I choose you!" He shouted, sending out Froakie.
"I'm not going to let you guys have all of the fun. Let's go Snorunt!" Gray shouted, sending out Snorunt.
"Ralts, you're up!" Lucy shouted, sending out Ralts.
"Come forth. Ivysaur! Honedge!" Erza said, sending out her Pokemon.
All of their Pokemon let out their signature cry before they all get into position alongside their trainers.
'The Fairy Tail flies walked right into our trap. Everything's going as planned.' Erigor chuckled. 'But I won't rest until they hear Lullaby's song. Then we can have our revenge.'
'Soon Erigor… Soon…' Nascour thought.
"This is the strongest team that Fairy Tail has to offer!" Lucy shouted. "You better be ready!"
"Nascour, I leave them to you." Erigor flies up in the air before vanishing.
"He's gone!" Ash gasped.
"Natsu and Gray. Go, I need you to stop him." Erza ordered. "If the two of you work together, not even Erigor the Reaper can stop you." The redhead looked over her shoulders and sees the two rivals glaring at each other, causing her to growl and glare at them. "What did I say!?"
"Aye!" Both Natsu and Gray pretend to be good buddies as the two and their Pokemon left the battlefield to chase after Erigor.
"Rayule, Kageyama. Go after them before they find Erigor." Nascour ordered.
"You can leave it to me and Yamask." Rayule chuckled as he sends out Yamask. The dark mage latched onto a steel railing before climbing up to the next level and escape with Yamask.
"Just make sure that me and Dusclops get that pink haired dimwit. He's ours." Kageyama said before he uses his shadow magic to become a shadow with his Dusclops.
"Ash, can I trust you to take care of Nascour?" Erza asked. "Me and Lucy will deal with the rest of them."
"You got it." Ash said, twirling his staff.
"Two girls against an entire magical guild?" Lucy gulped.
"It's okay. I'll back you guys up too." Ash reassured. "Right guys?"
"Pikachu (We won't leave your side)." Pikachu grinned.
"Froakie (That's right)." Froakie nodded.
"Good. Let's do this." Erza said as she held a hand out before summoning a sword.
"Whoa, a sword!" Ash gasped in awe.
"Honedge, Swords Dance!" Erza commanded.
"Honedge!" Honedge unsheathed itself and twirls around as Twelve blue glowing swords circle around it before red and orange lights shoot upwards in front of it and then balls of the same colored aura appear in front of it.
"We're not scared of you!" The dark mages of the Eisenwald guild leaped towards Erza.
"Honedge, Slash!" Erza commanded as she and Hondedge swung their blades at their enemies, knocking them back. She then makes her sword disappear before summoning a spear. "Ivysaur, Vine Whip!"
"Saur!" Ivysaur extended her vines as she slapped a few mages in the air before Erza jumps up and swings her spear at her opponents.
"Now it's a spear!?" Lucy gasped. "Is this Requip Magic?"
"What's that?" Ash asked.
"It's a kind of magic where you change any weapon that you have in storage and call it to your hands." Lucy said.
"Wow, that's awesome!" Ash said with stars in his eyes before noticing Nascour and a few more mages. "Let's help her out."
"Right. It's time to kick butt." Lucy smirked before taking out her whip.
"Shadow Ball!" Nascour commanded as Malamar fired a barrage of shadow balls. He held a hand out before firing a bunch of dark magic spheres at Ash. "The rest of you better stop slacking off."
"Yes sir!"
"Oh no you won't!" Ash twirls his staff before creating an aura barrier, blocking the attack. "Pikachu, Electro Ball!"
"Pika Pika Pika! Chapi!" Pikachu created an electro ball before flinging it at Malamar, who took the hit like it was nothing.
"Froakie, Water Pulse!" Ash commanded as Froakie created a water pulse before launching it at Malamar while he creates an aura sphere. "Aura Sphere!" Ash launched his attack at a few mages, which knocked a few more out.
"Wait, this kid's an aura wizard?" Nascour asked in surprise.
"My turn. Ralts, Magical Leaf!" Lucy commanded.
"Ralts!" Ralts raised her hands above her head before firing Magical Leaf at the mages.
"Take this!" Lucy swung her whip at a few mages, knocking them back.
"That was impressive you two." Erza complimented.
"Oh thanks, but it was no big deal." Lucy said sheepishly.
"We're just doing our best to take them out." Ash chuckled before looking serious. "There's still a bunch of them left… Including Nascour…"
"Stand back you two. I'll wipe them out." Erza said before she glows. "Requip: The Knight!" Her armor disappears as she twirls around and lower her arms, changing her armor. Her new armor is called Skarmory's Wheel armor, which has an angelic and skarmory like design to the outfit.
"Oh wow!" Lucy gushed as the male dark mages have hearts in their eyes.
"W-Whoa…!" Ash gasped once he sees Erza in her new armor.
"Pika (So pretty)..." Pikachu said in awe.
"Idiots…" Nascour's eyes began to glow red, along with Malamar. "Stop wasting time and eliminate her at once."
"Wait Nascour, stop!" Karacka begged. "That's Titania Erza: The Queen of the Fairies!"
"So what?" Nascour growled, scaring his ally before looking at the army. "Stop wasting time and eliminate her at once!"
"As you wish, Master Nascour!" The dark mages said like they're brainwashed.
"Whoa, they're no longer distracted!" Lucy said.
"Is he using Hypnosis?" Ash asked before looking over at the exit. "That explains why everyone at the train station isn't moving."
"Erza, look out!" Lucy cried out.
"Dance, my swords!" Erza is now floating in the air and summons multiple swords before firing them. "Ivysaur, Petal Dance!"
"Ivysaur!" Ivysaur jumped in the air before pink petals swarm around her body. She then fired a barrage of petals at their enemies, knocking them out except for Karacka and Nascour.
Both Erza and Ivysaur landed on the ground as the former used her magic to change back to her regular armor.
"I think I'm in love!" Lucy shouted.
"That was incredible!" Ash cheered.
"Forget this! I'm outta here!" Karacka shouted as he runs away.
'I must catch up to Erigor if I want to kill him.' Nasour said before looking at Malamar. "Let's go."
"Mala (Right)." Malamar nodded before the two floated out of the room.
"I would imagine they're going to look for Erigor. You should follow them." Erza said, looking at Lucy and Ash.
"Us?" Lucy gulped.
"Just do it." Erza glared.
"Whatever you say! I don't want to make you Angry! Ralts, use teleport!" Lucy commanded out of fear as Ralts teleported away with her trainer.
Erza let out a sigh before she falls on her knees due to exhaustion.
"Ivysaur/Honedge (Are you okay)?" The two rushed over in concern.
"I'm fine…" Erza reassured. "Gray was right… I overdid it on the magic mobile…"
"Do you need help?" Ash asked, holding a hand out to Erza.
"Why aren't you going after Nascour like I told you?" Erza asked, but stops talking once Ash starts to help her stand on her feet.
"Because I don't want to leave you here like this." Ash said before helping Erza walk over to a bench. "Plus, those guys can wake up any minute, so that's why I had Froakie take care of them."
"Hm?" Erza looks over to see Froakie hopping over to the two trainers after he used his frobbles to contain the unconscious Eisenwald members. Erza looks at Ash as she sat on the bench, who is grinning at her as she chuckles a bit. "I see. Your skills are quite incredible."
"Thanks Erza." Ash chuckled before looking over at one of the doors. "I'll go after Nascour."
"Yes. We can't allow him to find Erigor." Erza said. "I'll catch up with you and the others as soon as I finish recovering."
"Right." Ash said. "We also need to get everyone out of the city."
"I'll take care of that. Hurry." Erza said, causing Ash to smile before he and his Pokémon ran off to find Nascour.
With Natsu and Gray
Natsu and Gray are running down the hallway, side by side, to look for Erigor. However, the two Pokemon Mages aren't too happy with Erza's idea of forcing the two to work together.
"I can't believe she's making us work together. What was she thinking?" Gray asked.
"Obviously, she wasn't thinking." Natsu answered. "Everybody knows that fire and ice don't mix."
"Yeah, why does she always have to be so freaking bossy?" Gray growled.
"She should ask us to do stuff. Not order us around." Natsu said before the two stop and look at each other. The two of them continue to glare until shouting in unison-
"I don't need your help! I can handle Erigor myself! Are you copying me!?" The two Pokemon Mages continue to growl until they notice a fork in the road.
"Which way do we go?" Natsu asked.
"I guess we'll have to split up." Gray suggested before he faces the left side of the path while Natsu faces the right side of the path. "Natsu, we're up against an evil freak that's about to unleash a deadly spell." He then looks back at Natsu and clenched a fist. "If you find him, you and your Pokemon better kick his butt."
"You don't have to worry about us. We got a bone to pick with him for messing with Fairy Tail." Natsu grinned as he clenched his fist as well. "Charmander and I are gonna burn him to a crisp."
"Char Charmander (Show those losers what you can do, Snorunt)." Charmander roared.
"Snor Snorunt (I don't plan on holding back)." Snorunt grinned.
Both sides gasped in realization that they're starting to get along before they look away with a scoff.
"Don't die on us." Gray said quietly, causing Natsu to look back at his rival. "It's nothing. Later loser." With that, Gray and Snorunt took off while Natsu and Charmander took off afterwards.
Gray and Snorunt continue to make their way down the hall before making a complete stop in front of a door that reads [Broadcast Studio].
"So that's how. Erigor's gonna play Lullaby through the speaker system." Gray said, noticing one of the speakers against the wall. He walked up to the door and tries to open it, only for it to be locked. "Hey Snorunt, mind using headbutt?"
"Snorunt (You got it)." Snorunt nodded before running at the door and slams his head against it, breaking it down. "Snor (Huh)?"
"What's wrong?" Gray asked as he looked into the room… only to see that it's completely empty. "Strange… There's nobody here."
"Snorunt (I don't like this)..." Snorunt said with a glare as he follows his trainer into the room.
"Maybe I was wrong about him broadcasting the song through the station's PA." Gray said. He then heard an attack coming, causing him to turn around and jumps backwards with Snorunt to dodge.
"That's a pretty good guess, pal." Rayule chuckled as he's hanging in the air with his magic clinging onto one of the pipes. "But our plan isn't as obvious as you might think."
"Yamask (Time to die)..." Yamask laughed as the Coffin Pokemon lands near his trainer.
"A Yamask huh?" Gray asked as he took out his pokedex and points it at Yamask.
[Yamask - the Spirit Pokemon. It has memories of being a human. If someone wears the mask Yamask carries, they will become possessed and they often live in ancient ruins.]
"So tell me what the plan is so me, Snorunt, and Totodile won't hurt you." Gray smirked as he sends out Totodile to join Snorunt in battle.
With Ash
Ash continues running around the station before making his way outside. He continues to look in every direction before running again.
'Why would Nascour and his Malamar go outside the station?' Ash thought. 'Wait, is he trying to lure me away from the others?' Ash makes a complete stop next to a few guards.
"Hey, how did you sneak in!?" One conductor asked.
"Hold it!" Ash held his hands out before removing his left glove, revealing his yellow fairy tail symbol to the three. "I'm a Pokemon Mage from Fairy Tail. Your station has been taken over by Eisenwald."
"What?" The conductors gasped in shock.
"You're kidding me…" The first conductor said.
"It's no joke. They're planning to broadcast a deadly spell from the speakers and it'll kill everyone." Ash said, pointing at the hypnotized crowd. "One of the members hypnotized the entire town so they won't run away. We need to get them out of town now!"
"Pika Pika (It's for the best)!" Pikachu shouted.
"But how?" The second conductor asked.
"Wait! There's someone else coming out!" The third conductor said. The four looked over to see Erza, who is carrying a megaphone in her hands.
"It's Erza." Ash smiled.
"Listen! If you value your life, then you'll leave this place at once!" Erza shouted via megaphone, snapping everyone out of the spell. "This station has been taken over by evil wizards! They are planning to broadcast a deadly spell that will kill everyone here! I beg you, run as far away as you can!" With that, the entire citizen of Oshibana City began running away from the train station.
"You three should get out here too." Ash said.
"But what about you and your friend?" The first conductor asked.
"We'll be fine." Ash reassured, giving Erza a nod and smile, causing her to return it back to him. "Focus on helping everyone."
"Right." The first conductor said before all three of them left the station.
"Ok, that should take care of them." Ash said.
"Ash! Why aren't you looking for Nascour like I told you!?" Erza shouted.
"W-Whoa, calm down! I saw him and Malamar go outside!" Ash said out of fear, causing them to look at each other with a gasp after they felt a strong breeze. "Wait… If he went outside…"
"Then that means…" Erza and Ash slowly look back at the train station as there's now a gigantic wind barrier inside.
"What's that!?" Ash shouted.
"Pika (No way)!" Pikachu gasped.
"Froa (Whoa)!" Froakie croaked.
"It's some sort of wind barrier." Erza said. The two mages heard a sinister chuckle before they look around and see Erigor and Nasour, hovering in the air.
"Erigor! Nascour!" Ash shouted in anger.
Back with Gray
"Yamask, Will-O-Wisp!" Rayule shouted as he flung a bunch of black bands at Gray.
"Yaaa!" Yamask's eyes glow before launching six blue fireballs.
"Totodile, Water Gun!" Gray commanded as he and Snorunt dodged Rayule's assault.
"Totodile!" Totodile opened his jaw and shoots out a stream of water at the Will-O-Wisp, putting it out. Yamask saw the attack coming towards him and holds his mask out to block it.
Gray clenched his fists together as a bunch of cold air radiates from his body. "Ice-Make Shield!" Upon shouting, he created an ice barrier to block the attack.
"He uses Ice Magic!?" Rayule asked in shock.
"Ice-Make: Knuckle!" Gray flicked a hand forward, causing a bunch of ice fists to pop up and hit Rayule.
"Yamask, Shadow Ball-" Rayule shouted before he gets sent flying into a wall.
"Yamask (Rayule)!" Yamask gasped and looks back at his trainer.
"Ice Shard!" Gray commanded as Snorunt fired a bunch of ice shards at Yamask, damaging the pokemon. "Totodile, finish it off with Bite!"
"Totodile!" Totodile jumps at Yamask before biting it, damaging it to the point where Yamask fainted.
"Yamask!" Rayule shouted as he returns his fainted Pokémon back in his pokeball and gasp once he sees Gray and his Pokémon moving closer.
"This is your last chance to tell us what you're planning." Gray said.
Rayule chuckled and looks at his opponent with a sinister glare. "Erigor's magic sealing barrier should be up by now."
"Erigor's what?" Gray asked.
"He created a wind barrier to keep you flies from getting out." Rayule said.
With Ash and Erza
"We knew that you two would come out and convince the entire town to escape." Nascour chuckled.
"Like a bunch of flies flying into a trap." Erigor laughed. "You know, I've always wanted to fight the queen of the fairies." He tosses a pokeball in the air and sends out Skarmory.
"Whoa, a Skarmory." Ash gasped as he took out his pokedex and points it at Skarmory.
[Skarmory - the Armor Bird Pokemon. Skarmory's body is covered with a steel-like armor, and can fly at speeds of over 100 mph.]
"Razor Wind!" Erigor commaned as Skarmory cries out a screech and fires a barrage of razor winds at the two.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted as he fired a thunderbolt at the razor wind, destroying it while damaging Skarmory.
"Skarmory took it?" Ash asked in confusion. "I know it's part steel, but it's also part flying type. Should it be more effective?"
"That's true, but Skarmory's can survive lethal attacks thanks to their Sturdy ability." Erza said, noticing Erigor's smirk. "Something's wrong…"
"Night Slash!" Erigor commanded as his Absol leapt towards Ash and Erza.
"Ash, look out!" Erza said as she took the hit for Ash while Erigor creates a magic seal behind her.
"Psychic." Nascour commanded as Malamar use Psychic to send Erza into the wind barrier.
"Erza!" Ash cried out as he fired an aura sphere at the barrier, only for the attack to be destroyed.
"It's useless! My magic sealing barrier is impossible to break!" Erigor taunted.
"Ouch..." Ash grunted in pain and points his pokedex at Absol upon recognizing it.
[Absol - the Disaster Pokemon. Absol live in steep mountainous regions, and rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, but should an Absol be seen by humans, it is said that catastrophe is soon to follow.]
"Malamar, finish the kid off with Dark Pulse." Nascour said.
"Malamar!" Malamar opened its beak and fired a dark pulse at Ash.
"Froakie (Watch out)!" Froakie jumped in front of the attack and used his frubbles to block it, but ends up getting knocked out by the attack.
"Froakie!" Ash cried out as he catches Froakie in his arms. "Are you okay!?"
"Froa (I'm fine)..." Froakie croaked weakly.
"Thanks for saving me. You deserve some rest." Ash said as he returns Froakie back into his pokeball.
"Let's save our moves for later." Erigor suggested. "We're wasting our time."
"But what about the kid?" Nascour asked.
"We can destroy him if he decides to follow us." Erigor laughed as he returns Absol before flying away with Skarmory. Nascour glares at where Erigor went before he and Malamar follows them.
"Hey, get back here!" Ash shouted before looking back at the barrier. "Erza!"
"Don't worry about me! I'll tell the others about this wind barrier!" Erza said. "You go after Erigor and Nascour! We know that they're playing Lullaby somewhere else! Hurry! Me and the others will catch up with you once we take care of the barrier!"
Ash looks at Erza in confusion before making a determined face. "Don't worry, Erza! I'll do whatever it takes to stop them!" With that, he and Pikachu jumped off the balcony and starts running in the direction where Erigor and Nascour went. "If they're not using the station to broadcast the spell, then what are they planning to do with Lullaby?"
Back with Gray
"Erigor and Narscour are going to what!?" Gray asked in shock and anger.
"You heard me." Rayule chuckled. "We knew that you pest would come here and cause problems for us, so we decided to trap you in here. We took over this station so we can block traffic to the final stop."
"Where are they heading to?" Gray asked.
"Take a guess…" Rayule smirked, causing Gray to gasp and remembers that the final stop is Clover Town, where all of the Guild Masters are at for their conference. "So you finally figured it out, huh? Well it's too late to stop us now!"
Gray gritted his teeth before covering Rayule in ice. He then starts walking away from his opponent with a serious look on his face, causing Snorunt and Totodile to rush to their trainer in concern.
"Come on, we have to warn the others." Gray said. "We can't let Erigor and Nascour play Lullaby and kill the Guild Masters."
His Pokémon nodded in agreement before they start looking for their teammates, which they are in different locations: Lucy is running around the main floor with Ralts to look for Karacka. Erza walked back into the main lobby to interrogate the other members, who are still unconscious. Ash decided create a bunch of aura blast to propel himself forward in order to catch up to Erigor and Nascour. And finally, Natsu is running down the path he took, unaware of Kageyama and Dusclops following him. They may have taken out a lot of members from the Eisenwald Guild,but Team Natsu's situation has gotten much worse.
(A/N)
And that is it for chapter 5!
I hope that you enjoy the recent chapter. I was going to have Ash get stuck in the barrier as well, but I think it's better to have him chase after Erigor and Nascour.
For those that are wondering why I called Erza's armor the Skarmory's Wheel, well it's because I wanted to go into the creative route and this won't be the first time Erza's armor will have different names based on Pokémon. Besides, doesn't her first battle armor remind you of Skarmory in a way?
I did promise to show the movesets, So here they are.

Charmander - Flamethrower, Fire Punch, Rock Smash, Dragon Rage
Munchlax - Headbutt, Bite, Fire Punch
Fletchling - Peck, Steel Wing, Razor Wind
