Chapter 24: Training with Dragons P1
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, Ashley and Queen Venomica. I also don't own any of the characters from American Dragon Jake Long whom makes a two or three part camo appearance starting in this chapter. American Dragon Jake Long and it's characters belong to Disney.
It was like any other evening for Hotaru. Once more she was in an engagement with Cipher and Queen Venomica. Hotaru was in the form of once again Sylveon, her best form! She ducked, or weaved in and out of attacks left and right to avoid attacks which came at her like rain. Mostly she was dodging bullets from Cipher members, as well as every so often an attack from the Shadow Pokemon she was up against and of course lethal strikes from Queen Venomica. She was on all fours and after dodging one last bullet and dove behind a rock.
"Hiding are we Hotarumon 14?" Queen Venominca hissed out laughing.
Hotaru was catching her breathe coming up with a plan. Not that she had been injured yet. She had done quite well running and avoiding attacks. She heard Queen Venomica slithering closer up until Hotaru looked up and saw her on top of the boulder whom was flicking out her snake-like tongue "Nice rear end!"
Hotaru blushes red as this was a comment that she'd let Ashley slide, however coming from the Naga Succubus Queen only meant one thing, and it meant being devoured. Hotaru prepared herself for the lunge that was most likely going to come at her. Hotaru gathered in all her strength, wrapped her ribbons around Queen Venomica's fangs and used the Succubus Naga Queen's own lunge against her and to propel herself swiftly into the air "I don't know if I'm supposed to be flatttered a demon told me that or creeped out!"
THUD! Was the sound of Queen Venomica crashing into a group of Cipher soldiers as Hotaru had used her own weight not only to propel herself but throw her as well. Hotaru was still in midair watching as she zoned in on the Shadow Pokemon Zekrom. Zekrom took notice of Hotaru coming at it then used it's Fusion Bolt attack to come straight at her in midair! Hotaru braced herself taking a risk to tank the attack head on! From the onlookers, which were Ashley and Darnel they watched as there was a burst of electricity coming from the collision the two could hear Hotaru's screams as the attack electrocuted while sending her backwards but she wasn't the only one that was being flown backwards the only reason why Hotaru was willing to take Shadow Zekrom's Fusion Bolt paid off. Her ribbons wrapped around the black electric dragon taking it with her. She then used a Moonblast at point blank range striking the Shadow Zekrom scoring the direct hit which not only did super-effective damage to it but stunned it but only for a little. While it was stunned by her attack she prepared to throw her Shadow opponent right back onto Queen Venomica when Zekrom lifted up it's claws and grabbed her ribbons.
"Uh-oh!" Hotaru muttered trying to pull her ribbons free of Zekrom's mighty grip.
With one tug the mighty Shadow Pokemon pulls a screaming Hotaru foward "I CAN TELL THIS WAS A MISTAKE!"
As she was being realed towards the Shadow Zekrom like a fish caught on a fishing rod both Hotaru and Zekrom prepared for one final attack as Cipher soldiers and Queen Venomica now get up to help the Shadow Pokemon. Zekrom prepared itself with it's head glowing gray and Hotaru knew it was using Iron Head and actually let out a tiny Sylveon wimper muttering to herself "This is gonna hurt!"
While Zekrom was preparing to deliver it's Iron Head attack to take an upper hand, Hotaru prepared herself to use Moonblast. Two things happened at once, both Hotaru's and Shadow Zekrom's attack hit each other clean on. Zekrom's Iron Head caught Hotaru once more in her chest breaking it wide open sending Hotaru painfully crashing into the ground right into Ashley's arms while Hotaru's Moonblast struck Shadow Zekrom right in it's own chest. Both Zekrom and Hotaru were badly injured and Ashley was amazed that Hotaru was somehow still alive even with a broken and exposed chest but by how Hotaru was trying to get on all fours and bleeding badly from her injury she doubted this fight could last much longer. Zekrom was down as well with both Hotaru and Zekrom taking their time to get back up.
To Ashley and Darnel's eyes it looked like Hotaru and Zekrom were going to fight more where even if one did survive that one was most likely to die.
Fortunately Erdos had gotten a message from his father stating there was some more information that he was willing to give Cipher...And rather than losing Zekrom this early, there was a better plan.
Erdos radios a speech to Queen Venomica through a special headset she was wearing"We must withdraw."
"No! We have her on the ropesss! One more attack and we cccan finally finisssh the fight!"
"As much as I want to finish this off, right here and now it's best we return to the base...Father has a better plan...Besides can we garante that we'll get the win here tonight? You know how resourceful Hotarumon 14 can be, sure what may look like she just needs one more attack, may mean she can tank some more hits or get extremely lucky again and turn the tables and we lose Zekrom...I don't want to lose this Shadow Pokemon this early on. Besides, I think I may know what father has in mind, brother has told me he's been in contact with him for quite a while and has said to me some new ninja organization has bought a Shadow Pokemon and I have a feeling it's Shadow Resheram."
"Shadow Zekrom'sss brother?!"
"Indeed" Erdos told her "So would you rather we lose Zekrom now or wait till we can use both legendary dragons against her?"
Queen Venomica hisses frustrated, knowing they had Hotaru on the ropes but, Erdos did speak the truth Hotaru was resourceful enough to turn this battle around even when badly injured, then the realitiy hit her, if Hotaru was struggling against Shadow Zekrom she had no chance against Shadow Reseram ether, the Succubus Naga Queen smirks as she addressed Hotaru while pulling out a Pokeball "Return Zekrom!"
"What?!" Hotaru demanded never seeing this before while she wasn't just bleeding from her chest but also coughing up blood.
Ashley and Darnel while relieved that Hotaru was gonna survive this encounter felt something was off, like a new plan Cipher was having. Sure in this battle they or rather Hotaru had tried to take them by surprise only for Cipher to actually be waiting for this, it was as if this time Cipher was ahead of them and turned Hotaru's own ambush into their own ambush.
Hotaru watches as Zekrom now returned to it's Pokeball. Cipher soldiers stood ready to shoot Hotaru dead on and the Succubus Naga Queen raises her hand "Ccceassse!"
The soldiers knew better than to disobey her, it would surely mean death if they did and they lowered their weapons. Queen Venomica stares at Hotaru's eyes "You're lucccky, that Cccipher has a meeting with their president-"
"They have a president?!" Ashley, Darnel and Hotaru asked with Hotaru's eyes widening with shock and surprise to learn that Erdos wasn't the boss of Cipher and this scared her completely in the inside, but she tries not to show it on the outside.
Queen Venomica raises a smokebomb "Enjoy your life Hotarumon 14 while it lassstsss...Be cccertain that the nexxxt time we meet, you'll be dead!"
She throws the smokebomb onto the ground, the smoke erupts covering the area. After Hotaru with her friends coughed a bit, the smoke vanished as did Queen Venomica and Cipher. Hotaru made sure there wasn't no holes in the ground though to hope there wasn't gonna be a surprise attack.
"Darn it!" Hotaru muttered feeling a bit weak in Slyveon form coughing up more blood, she decide to return back to normal and due to transforming back freely she didn't appear to be injured "I was so close..."
"So close in nearly dying!" Ashley told her "The way that fight was going between you and Shadow Zaping Dragon-"
"Zekrom!" Darnel told her "I don't think legendary Pokemon should be made fun of like that."
"WHATEVER!" Ashley shouted at him ""YOU KNEW WHAT I MEAN!"
Hotaru knew where Ashley was going "I know I was in bad shape Ashley but how was I supposed to know it had Iron Head?"
Ashley sighed "Right...We don't know what movepool Cipher gave their Shadow Pokemon..."
"We should get out of here and get Hotaru home" Darnel said.
"Right!" Ashley said.
As the trio leave the area Hotaru couldn't help but feel as if they had barely escaped with their lives. This first match against her and Shadow Zekrom went undecided she tried to look on the positive side of things, one at least she survived, and two perhaps she had the strength needed to take Zekrom out and purify it.
*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.

New York City
Nearly at the exact same time Hotaru had been fighting against Cipher in Manassas Virgina, a red dragon with black hair was fighting against his own nemeses armed ninjas.. Honestly at this point in his life similar to how Hotaru could breeze through most Cipher agents with ease, he too was making it all too easy to deal with these ninjas whom threatened all magical creature's existence. This dragon was none other than Jake Long, the Amdrag of New York, in other words it's guardian to all the magical creatures living there. With the majority of the ninjas defeated the dragon was now facing off against two other ninjas, one a taller ninja that might've rivaled the Batman villain Bane in compassion of size and the other a female ninja with long blond pig tailed hair. These two were nearly always the last ones he had to face on a day-by-day bases.
"You know we gotta stop running into each other like this!" Jake told the blond.
"You out of all beings must know our paths are always destined to clash!" the girl warned him.
She kicks at him actually getting him in the chest but just as the kick connected he used his dragon tail to retaliate. Both tanked the blows as the force of Jake's tail slap caused the girl to back flip in order to regain posture landing perfectly on the ground on her two feet almost as if she were part cat, key word being almost. She prepared herself for a second round with him when the big male tried to sneak up on him but Jake's Eye and ear of the Dragon picked him up without any problems. The big male attempted to hammer him with a huge warhammer which Jake blocked "Thought I didn't see you did you but looks like you failed!"
"Only a matter of opinion dragon!"
Suddenly without warning a huge fire ball came crashing down onto Jake. Being a dragon he withstood most of the blow but it still hurt him. He kneels "What the?"
Before he could say anything else both the huge and girl ninja came at him. The big man struck first with his hammer dazing the boy as the girl gave him a flying kick sending a stunned Jake Long falling down the building's rooftop he had been fighting on. As he's falling down he saw something white in the distance nearby. He couldn't make it out fully as injured while still stunned as he was but he still barely able to make it out.
He lands on the ground hard with a thud. The girl tries to run after him but the man stopped her "No need to peruse him yet."
"We have him on the ropes!"
"I know, it pains me to abandon our fight for now, but our gift has arrived. Our mission was just to stall out till it arrived. Besides after all he must not find out about our gift just yet. Let's go and take it to our hideout before he gets towards it."
"Right!"
Despite getting totally owned just now thanks to that surprise attack, Jake managed to get back onto the roof tops but by then his opponents had vanished and that white object in the distance he had saw from falling down the building had also vanished. He looked around "Oh great, I get in a rythem totally defeat you all and with one surprise attack you all vanish! Oh man, when I tell grandpa this, he's gonna scold me for not watching my back for a sneak attack, and double my training."
He checks the time sighing flying off to inform his grandfather about this.
Manassas Virgina
The next morning, Hotaru woke up still wondering why Cipher didn't press on their attack. She had a feeling it wasn't going to end well for her. She rubbed her chest as the memory of having Shadow Zekrom breaking it wide open when she was Slyveon never left her. That blow should have killed her immediately but she was glad it didn't. She sighs hoping that she would get some kind of training that could help her, sure her gymnastic skills allowed her to avoid many attacks but gymnastics really wasn't the type of training she needed to fight back.
She heard a knock on her door "I'm awake! You can come in."
The doornob turned and her door opened so Hotaru could see her father Kenshin. He looked at his daughter sitting upright troubled. He sighs sitting at her side "Ashley and Darnel told me and your mother about your battle with Cipher, and that it didn't go as you had planned."
Hotaru pouted "I wanted to ambush them, but instead they turned it against me and attacked me with some powerful Shadow Pokemon..."
Kenshin watched as his daughter brought a hand to her chest muttering "I'm still puzzled why they retreated..."
Kenshin sighed "That is troubling. But hey, we're expecting guests today."
"Who?" Hotaru asked.
"Your cousin Jake Long"
Now Hotaru was confused "Doesn't he live in New York City?"
"He does but he will be visiting us this weekend."
"That's good" Hotaru said "I do hope Cipher doesn't put their plan in action."
Kenshin saw her point "Perhaps, but I think you'd might want to reconsider."
"Why's that?"
"Jake and his grandfather maybe the key you need to fight against Cipher."
This got Hotaru's attention "I'm afraid I'm confused."
Kenshin rather than spoil his daughter completely smiled at her "Just trust me sweetie. When the time is right you'll find out. That is if I am correct."
Hotaru was even more mystified on this, but she trusted her father "I'll keep that in mind and is it only Jake?"
"It's him and his grandfather mostly. His parents and little sister didn't weren't able to make it on short notice."
"Oh" Hotaru said wondering how just two guests were visiting.
So she would wait for Jake to arrive.
Back in the secret Cipher HQ. Master Greevil was watching his son Erdos and Queen Venomica meet with the ninja clan that received their gift. Upon seeing her the two ninjas froze as Queen Venomica's huge image. The Succubus Naga Queen was eyeing the female ninja with devilish delight at the small morsel. The girl whom never feared much beings literally froze up, knees shaking in fear. Oh she heard of this demon Queen Venomica and she knew why the Succubus Naga Queen was eyeing her, to the Succubus, she was nothing but a delightful meal! She would have to make sure she'd never fail her if she was around to find her.
The huge man turned towards them "We've got your surprise gift, and the plan for once worked exactly as it was predicted."
"Figures it would be the best surprise attack on your end" Erdos admitted "You don't have anyone to worry about that can actually combat Shadow Pokemon, we do."
"Really?" both ninja asked "Who?"
Queen Venomica hissed as Erdos brought out a switch and pressed a button. No sooner had he pressed the button did Hotaru in her Sylveon form appear. In the images both Erdos and Queen Venomica shown each of Hotaru's battles as Sylveon, including her battle last night against Shadow Zekrom. Now this battle's results came to be undecided as they had to withdraw just like the two ninja.
"What was that black dragon?" the girl ninja asked.
Master Greevil answered "The black dragon was Shadow Zekrom, Shadow Reshiram's brother."
"Brother you say" The man ninja inquired "That gives me an idea."
Erdos agreed "This girl that has fought us in those clips is our own foe, what we call her Hotarumon 14 sense she can turn into fourteen different types of Pokemon."
"That Sylveon form of hers is her favorite one to ussse" Queen Venomica said "We came clossse in defeating her lassst night but we had to withdraw to meet with you two."
"Again you can't be sure if we would've won that battle or not" Erdos reminded her "Sure Shadow Zekrom delivered a beating to her but who knows? She might've been able to turn the tide."
"Agreed" Master Grevil admitted "That girl is resourceful enough to turn any fight...As demonstrated when we tried to eliminate her at NCIS."
"I STILL CALL HACKSSS ON THAT ONE!" Queen Venomica hissed venomously recalling how she and most of her subjects were frozen in the end of that encounter.
"Regardless" The man ninja said "Perhaps our paths were supposed to cross this way. We both have heroes that oppose us. Thanks to Cipher, we both have Shadow Pokemon that are brothers."
"Not just any brothers" Master Greevil told them "Legendary Pokemon brothers."
"Legendary Pokemon are Pokemon that are stronger than most Pokemon that a trainer would fine" Erdos admitted.
The male ninja got the idea "Then perhaps we can use both Shadow Pokemon against our foes in a surprise attack. Lure them together with our forces then crush them with both legendary Shadow Pokemon."
"Then we'll finish them off" Erdos said catching on.
"Indeed" the girl ninja said rubbing her hands in anticipation.
"Sounds like a plan" Master Greevil said "Begin this operation at once!"
"As you wish" Erdos said.
Once then Master Greevil's image disappeared leaving the two villain forces to get to work. With one look at the Succubus Naga Queen, Queen Venomica leaps then dove into the ground to begin watching over her target Hotaru leaving Erdos and the two ninja to speak in more detail in setting up the trap. For this mission, they needed Queen Venomica's expert survalliance. It was important to watch over their foes so that when it came for a newer ambush with their foes back-to-back then finish them off with both Shadow Pokemon. Their heroes would never see this coming.
That following afternoon, Hotaru was with Ashley and Darnel all three were waiting for her cousin to arrive. Hotaru had some pleasent memories with her cousin even though his mother was Chinese, but Jake's father was her uncle on her father's side. She was still thinking on what her father meant about Jake. He didn't give off anything special when they last met, then again she was certain she didn't have her Rototrix ether back then ether. Ashley turned to Hotaru "I'm sure all will be revealed eventually."
"Let's hope so" Hotaru admitted.
Soon Jake Long along with his grandfather had indeed arrived. Jake wore a red jacket had and blue shorts, black hair with green at the tip of it. His grandfather on the other hand seemed to be bald, and wore a blue robe. Alongside them however was a bull dog that somehow was walking on two legs as if it were a human being which Hotaru found slightly odd. Jake waved to her and Hotaru waved back. Jake turned to his grandfather whispering to him "So are you certain she's like me? I mean she is from Japan so there should be a dragon there too."
"True there, but I'm pretty certain Hotaru isn't a complete dragon like you Jake, however, she could have something that could make her into one or something else that is magical. Regardless, her father seemed to have begged for me to help her out. Thing is we have to see what her secret is first to really know what is going on."
"Yeah kid, besides, things have also been happening down here in Manassas Virgina and someone keeps stopping evil attacks here" the dog replied.
Jake looked confused as the bulldog pulled out a newspaper that he had somehow gotten online in the Mannasas region. On it was a beautiful white and pink furred catgirl like creature with ribbons around her body. She looked halfway as that catgirl but also stood upright like a human "Odd, I never heard this happening at my school."
"How could they when it's in another state?" Jake's grandfather asked his grandson "States don't communicate with each other when there is something going on wrong...Honestly if we hadn't been browzing the Internet we wouldn't have seen this picture and my gut is saying that Hotaru is that catgirl."
"She looks nothing like this catgirl!" Jake said trying to defend his cousin.
"True, but things may look deceiving, no one expects you to be that dragon that happens to be everywhere in New York City" the dog pointed out.
"You got me there" Jake said.
"If she is that girl in the photo" Jake's grandfather said "She could be an ally to you. That and I'll help her in training."
The three walk towards Hotaru and her friends. Along the way Jake notices Hotaru's Rototrix on her wrist mystified he rubbed his chin thinking to himself Wonder what that thing is? Hotaru wasn't wearing it the last time we met. Guess I'll have to find out.
"Hey cousin Hotaru, how's it been in the US? I bet it's far different than in Japan."
"I'm still learning" Hotaru said to him.
"These are your friends?" Jake asked looking at Ashley and Darnel.
"Yeah" Hotaru said turning to Ashley giggling "This is Ashley."
"Hello!" Ashley said waving.
"And I'm Darnel" Darnel said.
"Nice to meet you two!" Jake said.
"What brings you two over here?" Hotaru asked.
"You're father asked us to come" Jake's grandfather said to her "Said you may need some training."
"She does need it" Ashley recalled muttering the words causing Hotaru to sweatdrop.
Darnel sighs patting Ashley's back "There, there"
Ashley nods "Right, Hotaru, have fun with your cousin, I'm going home to check on something."
"Okay, I'll catch you latter Ashley!" Hotaru said.
Darnel also turned to Hotaru "And I better go off to practice."
"Have fun!" Hotaru said.
Hotaru's two friends left her. Once Hotaru, and Jake were together, Jake's grandfather turned towards Hotaru "Well now Hotaru, this is the first time you and I ever met if I recall."
"It is" Hotaru admitted.
"It's an honor to meet you" Jake's grandfather told Hotaru "Now what exactly is going on that you need my training?"
Hotaru wasn't sure if she should tell them the truth when the four heard Ashley's screams.
"Ashley!" Hotaru shouts.

The three humans and one dog ran to the area where Ashley's screams were coming from. Once there they didn't see the blond girl. They stopped and Hotaru saw footprints knowing Ashley had gotten herself kidnapped again. Hotaru snaps her fingers "Darn it they caught her again."
"Who?" Jake asked.
Hotaru answered but under a low tone "Maybe...It could've been Cipher?"
"Whose Cipher?" Jake asked.
As Hotaru was trying to think on her answer, the bulldog and Jake's grandfather saw that it could've been someone else and they had a feeling whom.
"Whoever this Cipher is, it wasn't them" Jake's grandfather said looking at the tracks "Whoever kidnapped your friend did it in a stealth way."
"You can see tracks?" Hotaru asked them.
"I can" Jake's grandfather said.
"And I can smell the tracks" the dog "Hotaru, you should stay behind."
"I'm not leaving Ashley in anyone's captivity" Hotaru bravely said.
"Well put cousin!" Jake said giving her a high give, it would've been the same words he would've said if one of his friends were abducted.
"Alright then" Jake's grandfather said "But if things start to get bad we may need to withdraw."
"As long as we get Ashley freed I'll be glad to withdraw."
The bulldog starts sniffing the ground taking up the scent of the kidnappers.
The bulldog leads Jake, his grandfather and Hotaru towards the building. Inside it Queen Venomica rose smirking as the two ninja had grabbed Ashley to use as bait. Ashley growls at the Succubus Naga Queen "Figures..."
The two ninja turned to the Succubus Naga Queen "We have returned."
They tie Ashley onto a wall chaining her to it even. Queen Venomica approved of this, this timee Ashley wasn't gonna get free, the last time she captured Ashley she had figured out that Hotaru's claws were able to shred the ropes off her. This time with Ashley chained up she wasn't going to interfere on this.
"You've got a good eye on spotting the foe. They had just met up" the girl ninja said.
"Why thank you" Queen Venomica said taking the compliment. "Eyesss are essspecccially good at ssspying onto our enemiesss."
She turned her attention to Ashley "And she'll lose her lover for good thisss time."
"Hotaru will prevail!" Ashley told her bravely "She'll not lose to any of you!"
Venomica rolls her eyes smirking "We'll see then I'll devour you just when we slay Hotaru and her cousin."
Ashley's eyes widened this was a trap for her Hotaru and her cousin! What did Jake have to help Hotaru?
Venomica smirks turning towards her allies "They ssshould be approaching placesss everyone!"
With this and their prisoner secured, the ninjas, Cipher soldiers and Queen Venomica slidely slide into the darkness. Queen Venomica was right about their foes, Hotaru, and Jake had arrived at the location noticing it to be in an abandoned factory. Hotaru had a bad feeling about this looking at the scene. Hotaru was wise to keep her guard up and Jake notices Hotaru moving her right hand on top of her Rototrix just in case this was gonna lead into a fight. She wanted to transform the moment Cipher or whoever kidnapped Ashley was gonna make their move. The two walk into the factory and saw Ashley chained to the wall. Jake was about to rush in to be a knight in shining armor for his cousin's friend but Hotaru learned from her mistake about rushing into save Ashley last time. After all her encounter with the Shadow Mega Metagross nearly killed her right then and there and she didn't want a repeat of the same thing happening to her at least not in that way.
"What's wrong Hotaru?" Jake asked noticing Hotaru's arm around his chest.
Hotaru answered "We shouldn't be too hasty and quick to act...I've had an encounter where Cipher kidnapped Ashley and used her to lure me too them..." she hung her head "I barely made it out alive."
Jake was about to ask for more when Hotaru felt something coming. She knew this darkness "Curses...It's her!"
Jake and his grandfather were also sensing this darkness, it was a darkness that Jake hadn't encountered yet. Hotaru and Jake looked upward to see Queen Venomica with Jake asking "Uh, grandfather...Who is that?"
Hotaru answered "Queen Venomica! The Succubus Naga Queen!"
Jake was confused "A Naga? As in a snakegirl? And a demon?"
"Indeed!" Queen Venomica hissed flicking out her tonuge in and out smelling Hotaru "Dragon-boy"
"How'd you know about that?" Jake demanded "We never met!"
"Her tonuge Jake" The dog answered with his grandfather frowning "He's right...The Naga Succubus Queen has used her tonuge to detect your our secret Jake."
"Plus she has us on her side!" a familar voice to Jake sounded.
The four look up more to see the two ninja.
"Ah come on! You've gotta be kidding me" Jake complained "You're in league with her?!"
Hotaru then notices Cipher Soldiers appearing behind them "Cipher is with them too..."
Before the two could react Venomica held up a Pokeball "Oh Hotarumon 14...I have a friend whom will want to meet you."
"As do we" the male ninja said holding up his own Pokeball.
Jake blinks "What are those balls?"
"Pokeballs" Hotaru answered then she wimpered "And I can only think of what they are gonna bring out of them...Shadow Pokemon..."
"Correct!" Queen Venomica said tossing hers out "Come on out."
The male ninja also tossed his "We need you're help as well!"
The two Pokeballs burst open and both Zekrom and Reshiarm appeared.
"Zekrom!" Hotaru gasped out remembering it from last night.
"Not him again!" Ashley muttered.
Jake got a good look at the other one, a pure white dragon "Grandpa, that's the dragon I saw last night briefly...What is it?"
Hotaru shrugged but the Rototrix answered "Reshiram! The Vast White Pokemon! A Dragon and Fire type, this Pokemon is Zekrom's brother! When Reshiram's tail flares, the heat energy moves the atmosphere and changes the world's weather."
Venomica smiled evilly "You're eyesss don't decccieve you Hotarumon 14, last night you might've fought against Zekrom, but your cousin briefly entangled Reshiram! With both legendary Dragons together, you and your cousin are finished. Go Zekrom...Fusion Bolt!"
The male ninja gave Reshiarm it's order remembering it's movepool from his discussions with Erdos earlier. "Fusion Flare!"
"NOT THOSE ATTACKS TOGETHER!" the Rototrix shouts in alarm "THOSE ATTACKS WILL POWER THEIR USERS UP WHEN COMBINED!"
The two legendary Dragons roared unleashing their signature attacks, Fusion Bolt for Zekrom and Fusion Flare for Reshiarm. Both Hotaru and Jake managed to avoid the attack by rolling forward with Jake's grandfather and the bulldog rolling backwards to avoid the attack. There was a huge pulse of electricity and fire as the two attacks connected and erupted like a bomb.
"Okay Hotaru, what's going on?" Jake asked her.
"I wasn't expecting this, but can we talk about this later?" Hotaru asked him "Right now we need to save Ashley and FIGHT LIKE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES!"
"Right!" Jake said "Not sure how you're gonna help but I'll cover ya! Dragon up!"
Dragon flames erupted around the boy as he turned himself into his dragon form which was red mostly although his back scales were green and his whole neck, chest and stomach area was yellow. He looks at the attackers "You may have us called for but we're not leaving till we get Ashley freed!"
Hotaru looks at the two Pokemon wondering what she could use then it dawned on her perhaps Flygon could get them out of this one. She reaches for her Rototrix about to activate it and turn it to Flygon when she remembered that Flygon was also part Dragon, sure she'd shrug off the Fusion Bolt attack with no injury and resist Fusion Flare, but, Dragon was weak to Dragon and she was certain her foes had Dragon Type Moves, regardless she had to try as she wasn't gonna get her chest ripped opened again by Zekrom's Iron Head technique. She thought about it and goes for it "Here goes nothing! Here I go!"
She turned the Rototrix to Flygon taking the risk that she'd get beat up by Dragon Type moves, plus if her cousin was a dragon why not learn from him that way she then selected her Flygon form and smashed her Rototrix down, to Jake's eyes bright light Hotaru became naked causing him to blush seeing his cousin naked for once, Hotaru's skin turns light green scale like in most areas except for the upper leg areas and the souls of her feet. She has red Flygon eyes, sprouts Flygon's Dragon wings which are light green and red near the edge, then she grows a tail which is light green and green with the last part of it being light green with red edgings. She loses two fingers on each hand as they became sharp dragon claws. When the light show ended Hotaru was "Flygon!"
Jake stared at his cousin oh he loved one girl in his state but Hotaru was very sexy in that form...So irresistible that he couldn't help but give out a small love growl at her causing Hotaru to blush. He blushes too "Uh, sorry cousin! But you look hot! Altough you might want to look a bit more dragon like me next time, but don't worry, grandfather will help you out completely."
"Hmm..." Jake's grandfather said looking at Hotaru's Flygon form "I must've mistaken you for someone else Hotaru, we saw this pink and white catgirl-"
"Short story..." Hotaru said "That was me."
"How could you be her and this cute sexy Dragon girl?" Jake asked her.
Hotaru answered "I'll answer this in due time...But short answer the object on my wrist is known as the Rototrix, it allows me to transform into fourteen different types of Pokemon, that catgirl and this Flygon form being one of the two possible forms."
"Good enough!" Jake said he turned his attention to Queen Venomica and the two legendary Dragons "Prepare for a good old beat down! Ashley hang in there, Hotaru and I are coming for you!"
Ashley looked at her rescuers "Do be careful when doing it! Hotaru you should've used Sylveon."
"And get walloped by an Iron Head to the chest which broke my chest open last time? No way!" Hotaru said.
Queen Venomica hissed with enjoyment "Goes to see how sssmart you are Hotarumon 14..."
She begins to sweat nervously and the male ninja asked her "What's wrong?"
She whispers back "Hotaru's Flygon form is a form we shouldn't forget about...Sure she's Dragon which meansss ssshe'sss weak to Dragon but...She's also Ground Type meaning Reshiram and Zekrom will take more damage from those...And if she has Earthquake, she'll hit both our Shadow Pokemon for huge damange."
"Then we'll have to join in and make sure she doesn't use those attacks!"
"Right! Everyone attack!"
The ninjas, Cipher soldiers and the two Shadow Pokemon prepare for their attack.
Hotaru and Jake charge headlong with one goal in mind to save Ashley, full out knowing that the possibility of beating these two legendary Pokemon in this type of situation wasn't high, they'd have to settle for grabbing Ashley, retreat and then try to fight another day together when they could fight them off if possible. The two came at their enemies.
