Episode 3: Trial and Error

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, and Ashley.

It was a Saturday morning. Hotaru was on her way to her friend's homes so they could walk to school. Normally this wouldn't be a normal routine, but mostly Darnel had a football game he had to play. Ashley being on the cheer leading squad also had to report to the same game. Darnel was carrying his sports gear while Ashley was already in her cheer leading uniform. Now the game wasn't until later on but the three had decided to walk anyway to the school. Besides it would provide a perfect opportunity for the three friends to start working together in defeating Cipher as well as purifying the Shadow Pokemon.

"It won't be too long ladies" Darnel told Ashley and Hotaru "We'll be at the school soon."

"Let's hope so" Hotaru said.

"Darnel's right Hotaru" Ashley said.

As the trio got closer to their destination Hotaru's Rototrix detected the latest threat. Hotaru heard it going off sending a detection single to her causing her to mutter "Oh...Really? Right now?"

"Hotaru?" Ashley inquired "Something wrong?"

Hotaru looked at her friends "Shadow Pokemon is somewhere around here."

Ashley and Darnel looked around trying to find where exactly this Shadow Pokemon was coming from. Too their surprise something tore through a construction sight and a huge rock monster appeared. It had tan colored but rocky body and black horns.

"Terrakion" The Rototrix announced "A Rock and Fighting type Pokemon, One of the three Swords of Justice Pokemon."

Hotaru then saw it glowing with darkness "A Shadow Pokemon!"

"Correct!" the Rototrix announced.

Before, the three teens could react. Shadow Terrakion roared heavily then extended it's horn coming at them, but mainly at Hotaru.

"Watch out for that Sacred Sword attack!" The Rototrix shouted "A Move known by the four members of the words of Justice!"

Ashley, Darnel dodged to one end by rolling to their right while Hotaru rolled to her left. The attack hit the ground creating a sword like crater where it had hit.

"That was close!" Hotaru muttered.

"Tell me about it" Darnel agreed.

Ashley was breathing heavily "Good thing we have good reaction time..."

Shadow Terrakion started gathering in stones and hurled it at Hotaru.

"That's Stone-Edge!" the Rototrix warned Hotaru.

Hotaru thought fast and somehow managed to use her gymnastic skills to avoid the stones. She managed to but barely. In fact one of the stone barely grazed her skirt. She watches Terrakion come at her with another Sacred Sword "Not today, you want a fight, you get one!"

She reached for her Rototrix and didn't have time to think clearly. She saw one of her Pokemon creatures stand out to her and took it slapping her Rototrix down. A white light filtered around Hotaru as she lost her hair, and clothes. Her skin turned purple, she grows Butterfree's wings from her back, she grew Butterfree's antennas, her eyes turned into Butterfree's huge red compound eyes, and finally her hands and feet turned bright blue and when her transformation ended Hotaru announced whom she was "Butterfree! AH RIGHT! Time to kick butt!"

Before she could figure out what move to use she managed to block it's Sacred Sword attack catching it in her hands stopping it without injury, however the momentum of the attack sent her towards a parked car slamming into it back first causing the car's warning sirens to go off and her two friends shouting her name "HOTARU!"

In Cipher's undercover base, Erdos crossed his arms watching this wanting to get even with her. Hotaru had bested him yesterday and he was quite angry at it so defeating her with Terrakion was going to be a bit of good revenge his voice growls at the footage "Butterfree vs. Terrakion hugh? Big mistake girl...Terrakion has a bigger advantage than you do. Time to feel some revenge."

Intro- Latias's voice- Three years ago, my brother Latios and I made our escape from Cipher taking the Rototrix with us. For three years we had avoided being captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon as well as keeping the Rototrix safe from Cipher whom were making plans to use it for their own evil needs. Three years later, Cipher has remerged selling Shadow Pokemon to Earth in a bid to take over the universe. Luckily my brother and I managed to save a girl in need and gave her the Rototrix a device that transforms the wielder into a Pokegirl or Pokeboy of 14 different types of Pokemon. Now she has the difficult task in not defeating Cipher but purifying all of the Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru certainly has a difficult task to do but she's the only chance two worlds have and I have a feeling, Hotarumon 14 is going to stop Cipher's plans once and for all.

Back to show

Back at the battle, Hotaru managed to get off the car and flew into the air eying her friends. She waves to them to let them know she was okay. She wasn't harmed as she had stopped Sacred Sword from doing any damage to her at all. Just the speed sent her crashing to the car but no serious damage to her. She turned to the Shadow Pokemon getting ready for it "Let's see what you got!"

Terrakion nods getting ready to battle her. Hotaru gathered in powder in her wings "First and foremost, take this!"

She unleashes her Sleep Powder towards Terrakion. Terrakion managed to avoid it then gather in more stones for it's Stone-Edge attack and hurled them at her. Hotaru gasped seeing the Stone-Edge attack come at her. She managed to avoid most of the attack by weaving in and out of them very carefully. Before she could think of what to do next, Terrakion was upon her slashing at her with both of it's claws. Hotaru felt this clutching her sides "That hurt!"

She spreads her wings in retaliation and unleashes her Air Slash at it. Normally this would've been Super-Effective on any other Fighting Type but thanks to Terrakion's part Rock Type, her attack was a neutral blow sending Shadow Terrakion backwards a bit "Was that all I could do?"
Shadow Terrakion roared gathering in more rocks this time they looked shadow like and Hotaru muttered "Great...Shadow Rocks?"

Shadow Terrakion sent them at her and this time they hit her burying her underneath the rocks.

"Hotaru!" Ashley called out.

Darnel had began helping out Hotaru out by recalling some moves the night before "That looked like a Shadow version of Rock Tomb...If that's the case...That buried her and if she's still around will lower her speed."

Hotaru felt the weight of the rocks that buried her body. She grunted in pain realizing that Latias and Latios was right, each of her Pokemon D.N.A had weaknesses and it appeared she just began to realize that one of Butterfree's weaknesses were rock type attacks. She managed to push herself out of the rubble despite being trapped in it. However no sooner had she done was she prepared for what happened next, she saw Shadow Terrakion gather in more rocks this time aiming a Stone-Edge at her. The moment she popped out of the rocks did it fire the Stone-Edge at her giving her NO TIME to react in time. The Stone-Edge attack strikes Hotaru on all sides of her body causing her to collapse onto the rock pile greatly injured. Hotaru might have been taken down but her Japanese side of her wasn't willing to give in. She tries picking herself up trying to make it like she wasn't injured too much, but she falls collapsing right away. Shadow Terrakion roared in triumph before running off.

"Hotaru!" Ashley called to Hotaru with Darnel at her side.

Hotaru groans as a faint light appeared from around her and she returned back to normal having bruises on both of her arms, legs, and even chest from her latest fight "Newsflash Hotaru...Whenever you go up against Terrakion ever again...Don't use Butterfree or you'll get your butt kicked like you did just now..."

Darnel helped Hotaru to her feet with Hotaru groaning "Easy please Darnel! My body is bruised nearly everywhere."

"Sorry" Darnel said "Let's get you someplace to sit down and recover."

Ashley agreed seeing some cuts on Hotaru's shoulders and knee caps "It probably would do you some good to do so."

"Fine" Hotaru agreed while checking the status on Buttefree.

The Rototrix showed her the exact condition on each of her Pokemon, Butterfree had taken so much damage that the Rototrix considered it fainted, meaning she couldn't use it again for the entire day. Ashley and Darnel took their friend to a park close to the school where they began running some first aide on Hotaru.

Hotaru felt the stinging pain of the alcohol rags wipe across her cuts "Ouch, that hurts!"

"Well yeah" Ashley said as she was the one cleaning the wounds "We don't want you to get infected now do we?"

"No" Hotaru quickly replied then she punched at the ground "Can't believe I let it beat me! I've got to figure out how to face off against it."

"You could try Mismagius again" Darnel told her.

"Yeah, well something tells me those rock attacks can still harm me in that" Hotaru muttered "And I'd rather not want to take it's Sacred Sword attack it sounds dangerous."

"Which is why you went Butterfree?" Ashley inquired.

"Sadly so" Hotaru said "That and Shadow Terrakion didn't give me time to really check for a better transformation."

"You just have to put some gymnastics into your next fight, you told me and Darnel it helped you on Shadow Gengar" Ashley told her.

Hotaru sighed "I should've done that but that Shadow attack...It covered everywhere. I'd need a form that could help detect those rocks."

"Or find one that resist rock attacks" Darnel suggested.

"That too."

"One things for sure" Ashley told Hotaru "It will be back once it reported to it's trainer that it's beaten you."

Hotaru brings up a fist "And I swear it will be different."

Ashley, and Darnel helped their friend to recover from her injuries.

At Cipher's base, Erdos had watched the whole thing. He turned to the Shadow Terrakion. It proved to be the best revenge plan. The girl was still young and was still in experienced on what types were good against each other and which weren't. He did know that Hotaru now knew Terrakion had the advantage over her as Buttefree, however he recalled Hotaru having twelve more Pokemon D.N.A. The slashing move was Night Slash targeting her Mismagius transformation if Hotaru thought she'd be safe from it. He was doing the math thinking to himself The Rototrix has fourteen Pokemon D.N.A inside it for the user to use. Which means she has a Water Type, a Grass Type, a Steel Type, a Fighting Type, and a Ground Type, all types that are good against Terrakion's Rock Type. However her Steel Typing is a Double-Edge sword for her, sure it's good against Terrakion's Rock type, but it's weak to Terricon's other type Fighting. So if she's smart she'll use one of the types Terrakion's weak to...However she won't know which types are good against it.

A Cipher Pion was in the room "You wanted to see me boss?"

"Yes" Erdos said "Take ten to twenty others with you, then prepare to battle Hotaru. I want to wear her down before taking her life."

"Certainly sir!"

The Cipher Pion ran off to obey Erdos. Erdos turned to Shadow Terrakion "Good work. Next time you battle her though, don't run off, finish the job, but it was my orders for you to run off that time once you've defeated her."

Shadow Terrakion nods in agreement. Erdos turned to get back to work while chatting to his brother "Ardos, Hotaru has been beaten."

Ardos smirked "After that Shadow Gengar was purified, better to get your revenge now than later. Still you had to send Terrakion onto her."

"Well what would you want me to send onto her Shadow Rhydon?"

"Rhydon would have resisted her Air Slash better than Terrakion. The Sword of Justice Pokemon weren't easy to make them into Shadow Pokemon now. They do have potential to be able to break free from their Shadow stasis. All I'm saying brother, is to play smart as well. Hotaru will become smarter over the course we take her on."

"Which is why if we beat her again" Erdos told him "Terrakion will kill her this time. Mark my words! It'll finish the job. Plus she's injured...She's not fully healed yet and all because her Butterfree form has fainted."

Ardos nodded recalling Dr. Kamiko's research claiming such "If a Pokemon in the Rototrix has fainted, the user will be injured for a few hours and be unable to use that Pokemon's D.N.A for an entire day."

"Precisely" Erdos said.

Erdos hangs up while healing Shadow Terrakion "Need to make sure you are fully healed for the next battle."

Once Ashley and Darnel decided, Hotaru had rested a bit the trio started to set off again. Hotaru's mind was racing with questions. Like why didn't Shadow Terrakion kill her while she was down? She had been absolutely humiliated in that battle and had collapsed due to her injuries she had sustained as Butterfree, so why didn't it put the finishing blow onto her? In a way she was glad that it didn't finish her off completely, she did know that it meant whoever sent Shadow Terrakion onto her just wanted revenge on her. This pointed to Cipher once more, it had to be Cipher. Plus her mind was also trying to figure out what Pokemon she could use against Shadow Terrakion. She didn't want to be buried underneath rocks again then take Stone-Edges to the face or body. That stuff hurt!

Still Hotaru felt a bit better, her cuts had stopped bleeding but they were still showing. Her bruises weren't going anywhere any time soon but even they have begun healing somewhat. She had a feeling these would slow her down if that Shadow Terrakion were to appear again. Deep down in her gut she knew it would be back and most likely if she was caught off guard again, it would kill her. Still she had to figure out which type would help her out the most. She decided that Ashley's suggestion would work providing she could sense out where many Rock attacks Shadow Terrakion would send at her came from. Still she wanted something that could withstand it's Sacred Sword attack which she figured out that it was a Fighting Type move. She didn't want to be sliced in half and needed a form that could resist that type of move. Mismagius was the key as she was immune to that but that slash attack...Her Rototrix told her it was Night Slash, which would spell trouble for her Ghost type form. To her knowledge Butterfree resisted the fighting type move but turned out was quad weak to Rock Type attacks, NO wonder she got her butt kicked by Shadow Terrakion. What other type could resist the fighting type move plus resist that Dark Type move? If she could figure that out, all she'd have to do is avoid it's Rock Type moves. Oh Hotaru herself now wanted payback. Sure she was still young and not experienced in fighting evil but she'd show them even if defeated she wasn't going to let that affect her ability to fight Cipher.

Darnel turned to her "Everything alright Hotaru?"

She smiled faintly at him "Yeah, just in deep planning mode. Cipher will send Terrakion again onto me."

"How can you be sure they are targeting you?" Ashley asked.

Hotaru answered "I maybe oblivious to most approaches but even I know that Cipher knows that I am opposing them. They want me out of that equation as soon as they can plus they know I'm injured too."
Darnel agreed with Hotaru's explanation "Plus Ashley, every time these Shadow Pokemon have attacked, Hotaru was always with us. Cipher is the only organization that has access to Shadow Pokemon. Plus Miror B, even though you and I haven't met him, he works for Cipher and knows what Hotaru looks like. Since it's clear that Cipher knows Hotaru is a threat they are going to make sure to take Hotaru out of the picture permanently."

"Then why didn't Shadow Terrakion kill her when she was down?"

"That question puzzles even me Ashley" Hotaru admitted "It had the chance to finish me off...Yet it didn't."

Darnel figured it out quickly "Hotaru...I think I know why."

"Why did it spare her?" Ashley asked for Hotaru whom asked "Yeah, why spare me?"

Darnel answered "Whoever sent it wanted revenge on you, he wanted to defeat you to put you in your place making you not want to continue fighting him."

Hotaru made a fist muttering "If that is what Cipher was aiming for then they got a different result!"

Ashley gave her friend a pat on the back which earn her a painful groan from Hotaru and a glare. Ashley sweat dropped at her pat which would've been helpful but instead it caused Hotaru more pain was her back was even injured in the fight against Shadow Terrakion "Sorry!"

Hotaru tried to smile to comfort her even though her back was stinging as it too was both a bit cut and bruised from the earlier fight specifically where the Shadow Rock Tomb hit her "No worries! You were just trying to be nice and supportive."

So the day would proceed with Hotaru recovering and her about to watch the upcoming football game. Ashley had left to join the other cheerleaders for game preparations with Darnel following to his own team for warm-ups. This left Hotaru alone to wait for the game to begin. She watched her two friends from the bleachers unaware that Ardos had decided to go to the game himself to watch. Like Hotaru he himself had never seen football before, but that was besides the point. He still needed to take an active role in the school system besides teaching. He was surprised to see Hotaru sitting in the bleachers alone...Well without Ashley and Darnel at her side anyway. It was the perfect time for him to sneak up on her and finish her while she wasn't expecting it, but he thought better as there were other people in the stands potential witnesses to any murder. So he quickly came up with plan B which was, to pretend he wasn't her enemy. He made his way towards her seeing her beaten up and asked "Well, Miss. Hatsumi, it seems we meet again."

Hotaru literally jumped with surprise as she wasn't expecting to meet her teacher ether "Oh Mr. Ardos, yeah!"

"Scared you did I Miss. Hatsumi?"

"A little, wasn't expecting to see you here. What are you doing here for?"

"I felt as if I should get to know the game of American Football" Ardos answered "What brings you out to the stadium?"

"Supporting Ashley and Darnel! Ashley is on the cheer leading squad, and Darnel play on the school's football team!" Hotaru answered.

"I'm sure your friends will appreciate the support, do you know of anything about the game?"

Hotaru blushes "My father was originally from the US and he often had me sit down to watch NFL games every Sunday when I was younger till when I became six years old. After that I started hanging out with my old friends so memory of the game is just as new to me now-a-days as it is to you."

"Interesting!" Ardos admitted then he thought So Hotaru's father was originally from the US. Then at some point he met her mother and two had their daughter. Little do they know their daughter's life will come to an unexpected end someday. He pauses looking at Hotaru's battered body before continuing Shadow Terrakion did a good job on her. She's weakened, I'm amazed though that she hasn't thought of not continuing on with opposing us.

Ardos looked around seeing Cipher Pions slowly approaching the area thinking It appears as if my brother is coming back to finish the job...Talk about bad planning on my part but this is still good for me. As long as I'm here with Hotaru and with so many other witnesses, none would expect me to be secretly in line with wanting to kill Hotaru.

"You look worried Mr. Ardos sir" Hotaru said looking at her teacher whom did look a bit worried.

Ardos turned to her "In this day of age Hotaru, it's best to be a bit worried. Something bad is coming this way, I can feel it."

Hotaru blinked was her teacher some sort of Psychic, if he was she was probably better off not telling her father, after all he was the biggest disbeliever in Psychics. As if sensing Hotaru's confusion Ardos comments her "No, I'm no Psychic, Miss. Hatsumi, but in the lands I come from you don't need to be a psychic to sense danger."

Hotaru brought it "I see."

So far her Rototrix didn't pick up anything but she herself felt as if something would happen to her soon.

Soon the time of the game had arrived. The National Anthem was played and the game was set to go with it's opening kick off. Hotaru watched the kick off as the two teams went head-to-head against each other. Ardos took down some notes to remind himself of the game and for secret Cipher plans to eliminate Hotaru if this latest one failed. Finally Half Time arrived and Hotaru's school had a slight lead 21-17 going into it. The score to get twenty-one points was crucial as prior to that Hotaru's team trailed by three points. The twenty-one score came on an interception return or a pick six by Darnel giving Hotaru's school team a four point lead. However that was when things went horribly wrong as Cipher Pions littered the field. Normally Cipher Pions would be having Pokeballs on them for battling trainers, however since there were no Trainers on Earth other than themselves they were equipped with guns or flamethrowers.

"What are those?!" a civilian asked.

Ardos quickly rose issuing out commands to the panicking crowd "Stay low to the ground and keep calm!"

He looked for Hotaru but Hotaru had vanished without him knowing scaling down the bleachers despite being injured from the back meeting up with Ashley and Darnel.

"Those have to be Cipher!" Ashley said.

"Too right!" Darnel admitted he turned to Hotaru "and you haven't fully recovered ether...But I bet you could handle them."

"I could" Hotaru admitted "But I'm worried about the other people in the stands! They'll be shot...Oh man...What else could go wrong?"

The Rototrix beeped it's warning siren picking up a Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru heard this as did her two friends whom sweat dropped with Hotaru muttering "Ask a stupid question, get answer."

"MONSTER!" a woman's shout came. Ashley, Darnel and Hotaru run to see what the Monster was and indeed it was the Shadow Terrakion.

"The one monster that beat you earlier" Ashley muttered "Plus Cipher is with it...What are we gonna do?"

Hotaru gripped her Rototrix "I'll have to save everyone."

She activated it in secret or so she thought as Ardos had finally spotted her thinking to himself She managed to scale down the bleachers from behind despite being injured. That must not have been easy for her to do. But I am anxious...What Pokemon form could she go into that can help her solve this problem...Obvious Butterfree would be able to put those Pions to sleep but it would struggle against Shadow Terrakion, but if she had it. She was beaten using it earlier...So what form will she use next?

Hotaru turned her Rototrix to a Pokemon she wanted seeing it was cute, and on all fours like a cat, it's blue eyes were what sold her as if making Hotaru feel as if this was the solution "Not sure what your type is...But I'll give you a shot!"

She slams the Rototrix down and white light filled around her removing Hotaru's clothes and hair as her transformation began.

Commercial Break

Back to Show

Ashley, and Darnel watch as their friend began her second transformation. The white light filtered around Hotaru whom gained white fur everywhere around her body, she sprouts pink hair with Sylveon's pink ears filled with a blue color inside the ears, her eyes become blue and cute like she gain two sets of ribbons with two wrapping around her head with a bowtie attaching to her head, the ribbons are blue and pink at the end, she also gains another two ribbons attached in a bowtie around her neck, grows a pink tail, along with pink hands and pink feet when the transformation ended Hotaru was a "Sylveon!"

"Wow Hotaru!" Ashley said looking at her friend "You look beautiful in that form!"

"What type am I?" Hotaru asked.

The Rototrix answered "You are a new type discovered, the Fairy Type!"

Something in Hotaru's mind told her Sylveon was indeed the best solution to the problem, she looks at her body it seemed mostly cat like and as memory served cats were great gymnasts. Plus she looked at her ribbons which seemed to have minds on their own wandering around her. She giggled a bit happily "I could be in this form all day!" she heard panic screams and quickly remembered what she had to do. She turned to her friends "Help Mr. Ardos evacuate the people! I'll handle Cipher and Shadow Terrakion."

"Got it!" the two replied to her.

Hotaru dashes onto the field with Cipher Pions now having a proper target aiming their guns and flamethrowers at her.

"Who and what is that?!" a person in the bleachers asked.

Ardos watched Hotaru advance then Ashley and Darnel came onto the stands "Everyone get out of the area! Rest assured that girl down there is on our side!"

"How can we be sure?" another student asked them.

He'd get his answer when they heard guns being fired at Hotaru. Not only that but the sounds of the flamethrowers going off also alerted them to the oncoming battle. Hotaru managed to avoid the bullets using her feelers to shield herself from them and bat the bullets back at the attackers. Before they could react Hotaru quickly summons up stars unleashing her Swift attack at the attacker's guns. Right as she had hoped Hotaru had managed to jam the guns and even the flamethrowers causing the flamethrowers to back fire upon the Cipher Pions using them. Their screams echoed. Hotaru pressed on coming at them, kicking, punching, and even whipping out at them with her Ribbons. Honestly the Cipher Pions were no problem for her and soon all twenty of them had been easily dealt with.

"That's twenty Cipher soldiers down" Hotaru breathed out pretending to forget about the bigger threat in Shadow Terrakion "Now whom am I forgetting?!"

She saw a shadow of Shadow Terrakion coming at her with Sacred Sword, obviously commanded to use it. Hotaru saw it coming at her "Not this time!"

She raised her ribbons commanding them as if they were vines. They wrapped around Terrakion's horn which was how it was using Sacred Sword, then she hurled it to the other side of the Football field well the other side where their opponents were waiting and watching the chaos unfold. THUD! Terrakion hit the ground but it gets back up gathering up it's darkness for it's Shadow Rock Tomb attack "TERRAKION!"

"Bring it!" Hotaru told it "You'll find out that it won't catch me off guard!"

Shadow Terrakion unleashed it's Shadow Rock Tomb at her. Hotaru used her ribbons and her gymnastic skills once again to literally climb over the attack without being able to slow down. She comes at it diving down onto it. It turned out to be somewhat of a mistake. Shadow Terrakion simply used it's Sacred Sword attack on her moving it's head upward striking her and causing her to go flying upward screaming mostly in surprise. Luckily she found out that the Sacred Sword attack didn't hurt her as much giving her the knowledge that Sylveon resisted Fighting Type moves. Sure it hurt her but it didn't hurt her too much. If she had to compare how much it hurt her it would be describe like this getting a paper cut or falling down scraping your knee. There was a touch of fur missing from her chest however in a vertical line where it had struck her but still it wasn't too much.

Ardos watches this thinking That girl has a new type never before encountered in the region I came from. She just shrugged off the Fighting Type move Sacred Sword. This proves her new type isn't a Normal Type, if it was she'd be in major pain.

"Are you coming Mr. Ardos sir?" Ashley asked causing the man to look at her "Everyone's evacuated!"

"I am!" Ardos told her evacuating last while watching the battle.

Hotaru saw it forming up an attack for it's Stone-Edge. Now she was sure she could take this attack but she had enough taking rock attacks for one day. She thinks fast then started producing clones of herself with Double Team which take the blow for her leaving the real one untouched as she landed perfectly on her two feet.

"Is that all you got Shadow Pokemon?!" Hotaru asked Shadow Terrakion.

Angered at the remark, the Shadow Pokemon comes at her with a Night Slash. Hotaru watches it close in on her and again wraps her ribbons around it's front legs causing it to trip and fall onto it's face.

"Clumsy I see" Hotaru taunted it.

Shadow Terrakion gets back up preparing another Shadow Rock Tomb. Once more Hotaru uses her ribbons and her gymnastic skills to propel herself upward. Shadow Terrakion prepared another Sacred Sword which worked a bit well for what it intended to do to her. Sure she'd resist the damage but Hotaru shook her head "Not falling for that trick again!"

She unleashed another Swift attack at it. The attack hit Shadow Terrakion but it didn't do much damage to her. It glared at her calmly as she lands. It prepares a Stone-Edge anyway. Hotaru charges in this time using her ribbons to just like she used on the bullets and flamethrowers to bat the attack away from her and sent it back towards it. Shadow Terrakion blinks taking the attack and she comes at it building up her energies and unleashed her last technique, Moonblast at it. Shadow Terrakion watches as the attack hits it unprepared doing super-effective damage to it. It blows the Shadow Pokemon onto it's back causing it to faint.

"Shadow Pokemon defeated" Hotaru said walking towards Shadow Terrakion "Awaiting purification!"

"On it!" The Rototrix cried preforming the purification process on the Shadow Terrakion.

Ardos watches this as Hotaru had defeated Cipher once more and to add even more things to warn his brother Erdos on, it was Hotaru seemed to have a natural talent with this transformation. He had a feeling this transformation would be used by her frequently as it was the best for her to use her talents, and the way she used her ribbons to shield herself and attack with them was something to consider as well. He commented to himself while waiting for the authorities to arrive "Well played Hotaru...Well played. You finally found the one Pokemon D.N.A that you'll love to use against us...And that one just might give us the most trouble seeing how well you were able to use it."

Hotaru then heard the Rototrix proclaim "Shadow Pokemon purified!"

"Good work" Hotaru said.

She turned to the Cipher Pions finding rope to tie them up with while leaving their weapons far away so the cops could take them to jail Before the cops arrive though Hotaru vanishes, not wanting to be seen by the cops just yet. Now almost everyone knew a crime fighting heroine existed. She would have to be careful otherwise her protective father might want a few words with her which could lead to being grounded for her own safety. She could hear the words from him now "Hotaru, leave this sort of thing to the cops and even all law enforcement agencies, heck even NCIS to deal with this threat. I don't want you killed for doing something so reckless even if it is for the good of things in the end. I care way too much about you for you to get yourself killed."

Hotaru muttered to herself "That's what he'd tell me alright. I should be more careful in my transformations. Luckily no one else saw me but Ashley and Darnel. They won't tell anyone my secret but no telling who else would expose me."

The cops show up with Hotaru slipping behind her two friends Ashley and Darnel changing back to normal.

"You were amazing out there Hotaru!" Ashley told her friend "Almost made it look easy and as if you were a natural with that form."

"I won't lie" Hotaru admitted to her friends "It felt amazing being Sylveon. It gave me so many defensive options as well as attacking ones. It's going to be useful in the long run."

Darnel agreed but gives her a warning "Try not to get overconfident, while we can probably say Sylveon is your best form right now, it would do you good to use the other thirteen Pokemon D.N.A in your Rototrix."

"I'll keep that in mind" Hotaru said.

"We should probably go back to the stadium just so the cops can get some information about what attacked us" Ashley suggested.

"I'd rather not" Hotaru muttered "At least not tell them it was Cipher's doing or what that Shadow Pokemon was."

"Point taken" Darnel admitted.

The trio prepared to walk back as Darnel still had another half of Football to play anyway, that was if the attack didn't cancel it.

End of episode! Hotaru's number one transformation has been shown. Look to seeing her Sylveon form more often in episodes, think of it as a young Ben Tennyson going Four-Arms or older Ben going Swampfire. Anyway next episode is Episode 4: Plants vs. Zombies: A Zombie outbreak in Manassas has everyone off guard. Is this a new scheme of Cipher? When push comes to shove can Hotaru use her Grass Type Transformation to stop, and reverse the Zombie outbreak as well as stopping Cipher's plans?

A/N: I'd also like to point out to my readers, those that are reading this that I know Terrakion can't learn Night Slash sadly but Pokemon Gale of Darkness if memory serves often gave Pokemon moves they couldn't learn so that is the explanation why Terrakion had Night Slash.
