Kanto Region. Pallet Town. Professor Oak's Lab. Day.
Today at Oak's lab, Ash and Pikachu were quickly checking by to see how the Twilight Sparkle from the human world was doing as Professor Oak's assistant as always.
"So, Ash," Oak said to him. "The day for Holon is close now. So to prepare you, I managed to get in touch with one of the professors there. Professor Pine. She sent one of her best trainers here."
"Someone from the Holon Region is here?!" Ash gasped. Today just got more exciting for him. "Nice, nice, nice! Does this mean we're gonna get to see Holon Pokemon?!"
"Maybe." Oak wagged his finger as a knock on the door had been made. "Oh and here she is. Come in, Timia." Entering the lab was a representative from the Holon Region. However, at first, this new trainer couldn't be seen near the door, confusing Ash, Pikachu and Twilight.
"Huh?" They both wondered, aiming their heads around for Timia's location. But eventually, Timia showed herself, touching the shoulders of Ash and Twilight, causing a cold feeling to come through. "Ghhhh!"
"Hehe. Gotcha." She snickered with a cheeky sharp grin, revealing herself to the trainers. "How ya doing?"
"Good." Ash chuckled, rubbing the back of his hair while Twilight let out a relaxed sigh. "My name's Ash. And this is my partner, Pikachu."
"Pikachu!"
"My name's Twilight." Twilight soon introduced herself as Spike and Zorua could be seen near her feet. But Zorua, as always was hiding while Spike was more upfront. "This is my pet Spike and my partner Zorua. Right down there."
"So you came from Holon, huh?! There's a bunch of stuff you gotta tell us!" Ash was eager to know about Holon as soon as possible. "I heard there were these super unique Pokemon called Delta Pokemon! I just found out about Alpha Pokemon a few days ago so I just gotta know what Delta Pokemon are!"
"Slow down, geez..." Timia, who talked with a slightly slower tone, was perplexed by Ash's rapid tone. "You're gonna head there soon anyway, but, might as well tell you. That's why I came here in the first place."
"Professor Pine and I had a chat prior to this," Oak spoke. "I won't spoil much for you, but all you need to know, aside from the Delta Pokemon, is that the Holon Region is the newest region in the world."
"Newest region in the world?" Both Ash and Twilight repeated.
"Mhm. Because of this, Holon features no Gym and no Pokémon League of its own. If anything, Equestria managed to have Gyms and Leagues of their own before Holon. It also has an underdeveloped state. So there are no formal cities and routes to see. Nothing but settlements. But I'm probably saying too much about it now, am I?"
"Kinda blows that my region doesn't have all that big stuff other regions do. But that's why I take part in other leagues." Timia shrugged. "I've wasted enough time. How about I show you what you want? I've got Delta Pokemon with me."
"You've got Delta Pokemon of your own?!" Ash shot up. His intrigue had skyrocketed.
"Sure, sure. But you just gotta show me that Equestria place too." Timia circled them. "Fair trade, don't ya think?"
"Sounds fair to me." Ash was all for it.
"Uh...You can go ahead. I'm still not ready to pass through that world anyway." Twilight would pass. "I've got some work here to do with Professor Oak anyway."
"Timia can also give you and your friends plane tickets to head to Holon. When you get there, remember to ring over some information about Delta Pokemon. And for Professor Cerise as well." Oak said to Ash.
"You got it, Professor Oak!"
"Pikachu!"
Equestria. Ponyville. Day.
"I'm almost bored out of my mind..." Rainbow Dash slammed her head on a table, sitting with her friends.
"Almost?" Twilight repeated.
"Yeah...I'm not super bored right now but I'm getting there. Done everything I could so far for the day. And it's still pretty early too. Maybe I'm getting burnt out..."
"No shame in getting burnt out, Rainbow Dash. Everypony hits a roadblock eventually," said Rarity. "But on the bright side, there is still a lot that our world and others have to offer."
"That's why I'm not totally bored. But I don't know what I want to do next right now. Do we go to Holon now or..." Rainbow Dash lingered on her next choice of action. Not knowing what to do next after doing so much day after day can truly burn someone out.
But as she sat there, slumped over, without even a whisper or a rustle, something that not even Audino's stupendous ears could sense, a chilling hand touched Rainbow Dash's neck, sending shivers down her spine. That was Timia once again as her fangs could be seen at the corner of Rainbow Dash's eyes.
"GAH!" Rainbow Dash gasped taking flying and causing a tiny Sonic Rainboom in the process. The rest of her friends had been started before noticing the pegasus ascend greatly. Timia cackled as she scared another individual successfully.
"Gotcha." She said, putting on a pose akin to that of the Ghost-Type Z Move when performed with the swooshing motion that a traditional house ghost would give off. "Sup, my little ponies."
"H-Hello..." Fluttershy's heart skipped a beat as she had almost fainted. Something about Timia showing up with no warning was alarming and dismal as well. "C-Can we help you?"
"Hey, guys." Ash slid into the scene, making all of their heart rates calm down. "This here's Timia. She's from the Holon Region."
"Pika-Pika."
"Oh. A representative from Holon? Nice timing." Twilight approved, making her wings give a thumbs-up pose.
"Don't scare me like that!" Rainbow Dash bellowed before descending. "And how come I couldn't hear you...?"
"Audino."
"Audi couldn't hear her too. That's chilling isn't it?" Fluttershy froze up.
"Just my speciality." Just then, without warning once more, Timia reappeared behind Fluttershy and Audino both, becoming undetectable to the point where practically no one could seemingly predict her. Fluttershy jumped into Audino's arms as they both screamed. "Hehe. You should be on the lookout some more, ya know. Ya never know when my teeth could be the next one to catch you by surprise." She then showed her teeth to them, allowing the group to witness how unusually sharp it was.
"M-My...what sharp teeth you have." Rarity gulped. "Those wouldn't happen to be biological, would they?"
"You ain't a vampire, right...?!" Applejack's continuous fear of vampire-like entities was still present within her as she hid behind Sceptile.
"Don't worry about that." But Timia didn't give a clear answer as the sun made her teeth sparkle. "Anyway, I know why I'm here. And I bet you all are thinking the same thing, right?"
"Right. Coming here from Holon for us to know more about the region is an honour. Thank you, Timia." said Twilight.
"I didn't come here from Holon. It's my hometown, yeah, but I left it a while ago to go on my own journey. Professor Pine just wanted me to come here and help Plus, I'm not gonna teach you about the region. I've got some Delta Pokemon with me." Timia then held out a Poke Ball as their attention had been grabbed.
"You've got Delta Pokemon?!" The Mane 6 shouted with Timia dangling the Poke Ball in their faces.
"Wanna see it?" She asked as they all collectively nodded. Their interest in Pokemon has developed so much to the point where anything new about these Strange and Wonderful Creatures kills any boredom that they have. Especially for Rainbow Dash who was almost bored. "Here's a first look! Come out! Ekans!"
"Ekans!" Ekans was the first Pokemon to show itself. And once it had emerged, it appeared as an average Ekans. And a look of disappointment formed on Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Goh and Spike's faces.
"Uh...T-That's it?" Goh uttered. "Doesn't really scream Delta."
"Yeah...Maybe it's a different shade of purple?" Pinkie Pie squinted, seeing no visible difference.
"Don't you remember? I found out from the book that Delta Pokemon may look like average Pokemon, but they have different types than the rest of their species." Twilight replied.
"Got that right. Here, let me give you guys an example. Ekans, Flamethrower."
"E...Kans!" Catching them off guard while they were leaning forward, Ekans had blasted their faces with Flamethrower. An attack that Ekans can never use. After witnessing this, Ash could only think of one thing.
"Oh! So it's like an Alpha Pokemon?" He theorized. Alpha Pokemon were in a similar boat. They could also use moves that their species couldn't.
"H-How...?" Pinkie Pie coughed out some smoke.
"That's because my Ekans is a Fire-Type." Timia revealed. "No longer a Poison-Type. How neat is that?"
"Super neat!" Ash got close to Timia, causing her to back up a bit with a grimacing face. She was mostly overwhelmed by Ash's exuberant energy that he showcased. "Man, first Alpha Pokemon and now Delta Pokemon? We're finding out about a whole new bunch of Pokemon classes, huh?"
"Alpha, Delta." Rarity waved her hoof. "All these names. What's next? Are you going to tell us that a Sigma and Omega Pokemon exist?" She then chuckled, cracking a joke before noticing Timia's single expression. Timia then stared at Rarity for a bit, causing the unicorn's brain to rapidly think. "Wait I was joking...THEY EXIST?!"
"Don't worry about that." Timia stuck her tongue out. "All you gotta know is that I've got more to show you. I'll give you the full six. All of you, get out here!" Timia would reveal her full team of Delta Pokemon. Once these 5 Pokemon emerged, they were revealed to be Mimikyu, Espeon, Umbreon, Dragonair and Cacturne.
"Espeon." Timia's Espeon cried out before meeting with Twilight's Espeon. "Esp."
"Dragonair! Dra!" Dragonair immediately took flight, spiralling in the air with joy. Mimikyu scampered next to Timia, jumping into her arms while glaring at Pikachu. Once they emerged, they took their Pokedexes out to see the typings of these familiar yet fresh Delta Pokemon. Soon, they found out the different types.
Delta Dragonair was discovered to be an Electric-Type. Mimikyu was now a Water Type as a Delta Pokemon. Cacturne ended up receiving the Fighting-Type now. Noticeably, both Umbreon and Espeon had Dual Types. Umbreon still kept its Dark Typing but also had Steel as its secondary typing. Espeon also kept its Psychic Typing but, much like Umbreon, had Steel too.
"Ooh...Both these Eeveelutions kept their main typing. But how come they're both Steel?" Pinkie Pie wondered.
"Oh yeah. That's a thing for some Pokemon. For some reason, Delta Pokemon get Steel as their second typing only. I think it has something to do with some electricity or something? I don't know. You guys can figure it out when you get there."
"Either way, that's amazing. It's like regional forms without their appearance changing that much." Fluttershy giggled.
"Oh...you don't know the half of it." Timia then whispered, speaking to herself. "You're gonna wanna do more than just look at them." Unexpectedly and without any noise, she had appeared on top of a tree, grabbing everyone's attention that singular tree. "There's a lot more to go through. Just you wait and see what my Delta Pokemon can do. It'll be a good taste before you all visit my home region."
"Oh, we'd love to see what they're capable of." Rarity nodded in approval. "How about...?"
"A Pokemon Battle?" Ash, Spike and Rainbow Dash simultaneously said, having the same idea.
"Hm. Those are always fun. But first, show me and my Pokemon a good time and we'll be ready for a battle, no doubt. I wanna know all about you ponies. Everything..." She then gave her signature grin before having her tone sound serious. Chills were sent down the spines of the ponies and even Goh. But Ash and Spike were unphased by this.
Timia then hopped out of the tree before strolling on over to them. Her Pokemon also lined up with her, moving in an orderly fashion. And by doing so, they also started radiating Infinity Energy from their bodies. Espeon and Umbreon still had their Psychic and Dark auras, but the energy of Steel was leaking out as well.
As for Mimikyu, despite now being a Water-Type via the status as a Delta Pokemon, some of those Ghost-Type and Fairy-Type qualities were still there. And with these qualities, the Delta Mimikyu had then allowed some of the Ghost and Fairy energy to flow out.
Once they flowed out, they had manipulated the skies of Ponyville all around. Everyone watched as everything had become dim thanks to the Ghost Infinity Energy of Mimikyu and a hint of Fairy Magic to make it all fully possible.
"How about I show you this?" Timia slid past Twilight and Pinkie Pie, startling them. "Hope this doesn't give you a fright, but my Pokemon just love making some stylish shows when they get introduced as Delta Pokemon." She cackled as the POkemon were doing something akin to a Pokemon Contest.
Naturally, a nearby Sweetie Belle opened the door, witnessing this new sight. This was something new to add for Pokemon Contest moves ideas. Although, some parts will be harder to pull off.
Ekans had used its flames, shooting a stream of fire into the air. The flames were made to be faint as they began blending in with some of the Psychic, Dark and Fairy auras that were seen flowing around as if they were wisps. These four elements met, forming a star-shaped symbol with the colours of red, black, purple and pink respectively.
This was a wondrous sight to behold for many of the residents and bystanders. But, much like Timia herself, a startling fright came along. And Dragonair gave that courtesy. Delta Dragonair utilized its Electric Typing well as it had caused its body to not only radiate a golden aura that followed it but also made sparks filled with Draconic energy fly out. The purplish tint of the Dragon Infinity Energy made the golden sparks of electricity glow brighter.
Afterwards, Dragonair entered the giant star of four elements with the electricity before Mimikyu added a bit of water into the mix. The water reacted to the electricity around Dragonair, resulting in the giant star combusting. Upon combusting, it took upon the shape of Dragonair's face while also mocking the sound of thunder.
Afterwards, the electricity faded with Timia suddenly appearing out of it, standing right next to Ash and the others. The dim skies had faded away, returning to their usual azure colours.
"That's just a teaser." Timia cackled, sitting on the nearby table. "How was it?"
"That was great!" Ash and the others applauded the performance. Even nearby ponies started applauding. It was too good to ignore after all.
"Heh. It sure was. And now, I kinda do feel like having a battle. Which one of you wants a test drive with one of my Pokemon. I don't got a lot of time here. Got places to be and all that." She then moved her finger, wondering which trainer would go up against her. "You." She then aimed at Applejack.
"M-Me?!" The farmer stammered. "Couldn't ya have chosen Ash, Spike or Rainbow Dash? They've got more Pokemon."
"Eh. I change my mind super quickly. Now come on cowgirl. I'll let you go up against three of my Pokemon." She disappeared and reappeared behind Applejack.
"I thought you wanted me to test one Pokemon?" She quickly turned around to face the Trainer from Holon.
"Changed my mind again." She put her hand on her mouth, cackling mischievously. Applejack couldn't find any more questions to give as her friends were eager to see a battle today. The earth pony shrugged as she accepted the challenge.
Saddle Lake.
The battle would take place at Saddle Lake. Always a good place to have a battle at. Applejack and Timia stood far from each other while the others sat on logs to watch.
"Not gonna waste any time." Timia held out her Poke Ball. "Let's make it three of my cute Pokemon against your Sceptile."
"Just Sceptile? Uh...if you say so." Applejack went along with it.
"Let's do this then. Go, Ekans!" Her first choice was Ekans. Fitting as Ekans was the first Delta Pokemon that they had seen.
"Ekans!"
"Sceptile, Get in there!"
"Sceptile!" Sceptile dashed past Applejack, putting on a pose before standing upright. The leaves started blowing with the wind, falling gently from the sky. Once they touched the ground, the battle had begun immediately.
"Ekans! Use Wrap!" Timia commanded, hugging herself to mimic Wrap.
"Ekans!" The Delta Ekans rushed in, slithering at impressive speeds and blowing the leaves around it away.
"Sceptile! Thunder Punch!"
"Tile!" Sceptile held his arms out, covering them in electricity as they had then reached his hands. The Forest Pokemon had also rushed in, having just as impressive speed that his friends knew about. Sceptile threw the Thunder Punch, only for Ekans to slither out of the way. But Sceptile wasn't done. The Grass-Type immediately shifted his eyes, throwing another Thunder Punch in Ekans' way. Ekans contorted its body to evade once more, only for Sceptile to use his other hand, delivering a blow to Ekans' body at last. "Sceptile!"
"Kans!" Ekans felt a shocking hit that had knocked it away, making its body spiral a bit.
"Flamethrower!"
"Ekans!" But while being sent back, Ekans' opened mouth had sent a spiral of crimson flames in Sceptile's direction. Sceptile gasped as the flames reached in a short amount of time, connecting successfully. An explosion of fire went off, engulfing Sceptile in it as he flew out of the smoke.
"T-Tile!"
"Sceptile! Are you okay?!" Applejack gasped as the Forest Pokemon slid on the ground, recovering quickly. He was fine. But still took super-effective damage.
"Sceptile."
"Okay, Ekans! Iron Tail, right now!"
"Ekans!" Ekans, after recovering, covered its tail in iron, slithering through the leaves and moving in a zigzag position. Sceptile narrowed his eyes, preparing for the worst.
"Leaf Blade!"
"Scep!" Sceptile's bladed leaves had extended, gaining a glow as he put them out in a defensive position. His eyes followed Ekans' zigzag movements, trying to see which direction the Delta Ekans would strike from.
"Ek!" Ekans slithered underneath Sceptile, moving through his legs as it was going for a back attack. Sceptile acted accordingly, quickly swivelling. His blade met with Ekans' tail, causing a clash to occur. They went back and forth, clashing as if they were both using swords.
"Grab it, Sceptile!"
Eventually, Sceptile managed to gain the upper hand due to him having two Leaf Blades while Ekans was limited to its tail which was essentially its whole body. Gaining the advantage, Sceptile had then grabbed Ekans, holding it in place. "Scep!"
"Shouldn't have done that..." Timia smirked before Ekans gave Sceptile a surprise. Much like the performance from before, Ekans could do one thing the other Delta Pokemon could. Exude its Type. From its slimy body, ferocious flames were released due to now being a Fire-Type as they spread across Sceptile's arms.
"S-Sceptile!" Sceptile cried out as the flames kept spreading around his body. Applejack was aghast, however, Sceptile didn't show any signs of letting go.
"Sceptile, Dragon Pulse, quick!"
"Scep...Tile!" Despite being punished with flames, Sceptile powered through his own weakness before allowing the Draconic energy to flow through his body. He held onto Ekans still, taking the heat before unleashing a Dragon-shaped shockwave from his mouth. The blast of energy met with Ekans' entire body while Sceptile finally let go, allowing the Snake Pokemon t fly off.
Ekans' eyes whited out as it had them tumbled on the ground with sparks of Draconic energy flowing out of it. That attack did the trick as the Delta Ekans had fainted. "Ekans..."
"Whew." Applejack sighed. "That could've gone worse. Mighty-fine job as always Sceptile."
"Sceptile." Sceptile gave a thumbs up in response as Timia returned Ekans, rubbing her face on the Poke Ball. She then swapped it out afterwards.
"Take a rest Ekans. And let Mimikyu do the rest!" Up next was her Mimikyu which was a Water-Type. A stronger advantage for Sceptile. And for once, Dragon Pulse would be effective instead of immune.
"Mimikyu!"
"Mimikyu! Shower that Sceptile with Dazzling Gleam!"
"Kyu!" Mimikyu sent out a storm of rainbows from its body, that came out instantly without any buildup.
"Sceptile! Frenzy Plant!"
"Scep...Tile!" Sceptile retaliated against the array of rainbows with his own array. An array of plants. He slammed his hands to the ground, manipulating nature itself as massive and thick roots emerged, racing onwards and meeting with Dazzling Gleam. The roots and rainbows battled against each other with Sceptile's roots becoming victorious.
"Ooh. Dive, Mimikyu!"
"Mimi!" Mimikyu cried out before turning to the nearby lake. The Disguise Pokemon took a huge leap, evading the incoming roots as they had struck the ground instead, missing their target. Mimikyu had then dove into the lake, submerging itself.
"Hm!" Applejack's eye sparkled as she gained an idea. "Thunder Punch on that lake!"
"Sceptile!" Sceptile then rushed in, having Thunder Punch ready for action. The approach was to cause a violent reaction with the water and some electricity. The usual. Sceptile with his swiftness reached there in seconds before jumping. He was going for a downwards strike.
"Now, Mimikyu!
"Mimi...Kyu!" MImikyu's voice echoed from within the lake as all of a sudden the water was starting to morph. The morphing water had sent a powerful stream upwards that was embedded with Ghost-Type energy. Sceptile gasped as the spectral stream hit him, interrupting Thunder Punch and sending him upwards. This was the result of Mimikyu also manipulating the Water Typing in its body.
"Tile!"
"How do ya like that?! My Delta Pokemon can do all sorts of things!" Timia cackled as some more water streams came out, relentlessly beating Sceptile while in the air. Sceptile was essentially receiving a painful shower at this point. While it was not very effective, the constant hits said otherwise. The final hit launched Sceptile away.
"Yeah, that's impressive alright!" Applejack grinned. "But you ain't the only one who can use the environment, ya hear?" Sceptile, Frenzy Plant!"
"Scep!" Sceptile opened his eyes before recovering himself. He then landed on a nearby tree, scaring away the Starly that were nearby it. After landing on that singular tree, Sceptile made roots fly out of it, moving in the same way Ekans did before. Zigzag positions.
But it didn't stop there. Sceptile hopped from tree to tree, using Frenzy Plant constantly. Since he was the Forest Pokemon, his species were naturally adept at utilizing the forest. And this was one instance of it as a larger array of roots could be seen approaching all directions.
"M-Mimi?!"
"Mimikyu, Hydro Pump!"
"Kyu!" Mimikyu tried using the one thing it could do to protect itself. A powerful blast of water had been used but it amounted to nothing as only one root had been destroyed. The rest were still approaching as they all crashed into Mimikyu at full force. "Mimi!"
"Sceptile." Sceptile then front flipped out of the acre of trees, sticking a fairly stylish landing as always. The barrage of roots had ended as it was a One-hit KO. Mimikyu had fainted.
"Mimikyu..."
"Nice! A One-hit KO!" Spike exclaimed as the others cheered.
"Wasn't that big of a deal. Since it was a Water-Type now, pretty easy to just use an extra-strong Grass-Type move on it." Applejack chuckled as Timia returned Mimikyu, petting the Poke Ball afterwards.
"You're extra-strong too, my little pony," said Timia. "Makes me wonder how strong the rest of your friends are."
"Sceptile. How are ya doing?"
"Scep." Sceptile was hanging in there. He could face off against Timia's final Pokemon albeit damaged. Timia's final Pokemon was ready for action as she held out the final Poke Ball, throwing it.
"Go, go, go! Dragonair!"
"Dragonair." Dragonair would be the last one. An Electric-Type in this instance. Unable to give super-effective hits but might have something else in store. But this also meant that its usual resistance to the four elements were gone except for Electric itself.
"What? None of those Dual Type Deltas?" Applejack asked.
"Nah. Didn't feel like it." Timia once again gave simple yet uneventful reasons for her decisions. She could've shown off what a Dual Type Delta Pokemon was capable of, but alas, that moment didn't come yet. "Anyway. Let's finish this, kay?"
"I hear ya! Sceptile, Leaf Blade!"
"Scep! Sceptile!" Sceptile had Leaf Blaed up and ready. Adding some extra muscle to it, the blade grew longer as the Forest Pokemon advanced.
"Too bad that Dragonair can already use some Electric moves without being Delta." Timia shrugged despite Sceptile approaching her partner. "Oh well! Extreme Speed!"
"Dra...Go!" By pulling its body back for a moment, Dragonair had then instantly moved, passing Sceptile and appearing as a blur. Sceptile gasped as the Delta Dragonair was already ahead of it in time. Dragonair then swivelled, swiftly hitting Sceptile's back.
"Tile!"
"Here's a move it could never use! Zap Cannon!"
"Nair!" Right after staggering the Forest Pokemon in the back, the Dragon Pokemon opened its mouth, throwing out a crackling orb of electricity that was point-blank. That point-blank hit to the back not only gave an electrical explosion to Sceptile, but it also paralyzed him. Zap Cannon was a move that always paralyzed after all.
"T-Tile...!"
"Sceptile, no!"
"Be lucky I didn't freeze ya! Speaking of which...Ice Beam!"
"Drago...!" Dragonair was ready to continue the assault, holding its breath in as a chilling aura started emerging.
"Sceptile, use your vines! Quick!"
"Tile!" Sceptile slid on the ground before holding his arm out. Out of his arms, hidden vines were shot ut. Those vines had then wrapped around Dragonair's body, interrupting Ice Beam.
"Oh?" Timia's eyes were slightly expanded.
"Gotcha! Give 'em a good spin!"
"Sceptile!" After wrapping its vines around the Dragon Pokemon, Sceptile took the time to spin it around as if he was using a lasso. He even did it in the air.
"D-Dra! Dragonair!"
"Now, slam Dragonair!"
"Tile!" Sceptile then slammed Dragonair onto the ground after spinning it around for a bit. He made sure it was a hard slam as a dust cloud emerged from the collision. Sceptile twitched due to paralysis.
"That's a good attack approach. But how's this?! Dragon Rush!"
"Dra!" Dragonite had used its slim body to move through the vines, appearing with a giant purplish-blue aura around it. The Dragon Pokemon then crashed into Sceptile once. Sceptile's eyes expanded after the direct hit. Dragonair then delivered a rush of ferocious attacks with just its tail, pummelling Sceptile in the process. "Drago! Dragonair!"
"S-Sceptile!"
"Hang in there, Sceptile! Use Frenzy Plant if you can!"
"S-Scep...!" Sceptile kept taking these consecutive hits, trying to find the right moment to use Frenzy Plant.
"Extreme Speed!"
"Nair! Dra!" Dragonair eventually ended Dragon Rush before switching to a faster move. It had slithered back before moving at lightning speeds at the already staggered and paralyzed Sceptile.
"Your tail! Now!"
"Tile!" But that's when Sceptile made his opening. He had used his tail, stabbing it into the ground. By doing so, he manipulated Frenzy Plant in that way. Right as Dragonair tackled him with Extreme Speed, the Dragon Pokemon was met with a surprise from nature as the thick roots from Frenzy Plant had shown themselves.
"Dra?!" Dragonair's body had been wrapped by these roots, putting an end to Extreme Speed. However, it was about to slither away from it.
"You ain't slithering your way out of this one! Dragon Pulse!"
"Scep...Scep!" Sceptile had taken a harsh beating. And thanks to this, Overgrow had been activated, giving him superior strength. Mainly for his Grass-Type moves, which helped since Frenzy Plant was holding Dragonair down.
"Oh wait!" Timia then realized that Dragonair could not escape from these massive roots, making the next hit a guaranteed one.
"TILE!" Sceptile delivered the dragon-shaped shockwave, resulting in the roots being blown away by the force of power emitted by the Forest Pokemon. A draconic outburst consumed Dragonair, the roots and the area around it, making the leaves rustle in the process Applejack's hat was almost blown away by this as other Flying-Type Pokemon flew off due to pressure.
Afterwards, the roots had crumbled with the smoke clearing. And out of the smoke, a fainted Dragonair had been seen. That attack did the trick. "Dragonair..."
All three Delta Pokemon had been defeated. And it was done by just Sceptile which was an impressive feat. Sceptile himself was drained as he sat down. "Yeehaw! Ya did it Sceptile!" Applejack ran over, hugging the Forest Pokemon.
"S-Sceptile." Sceptile panted, feeling proud of himself. Timia retrieved Dragonair to its Poke Ball, giving it a nice rub afterwards. All of those actions that she had down with her Poke Balls were a sign of thanks for doing a good job.
"That was some good battling there. I think that's your first time going up against multiple Pokemon with just one, right?" said Ash to Applejack.
"Sure is. And Sceptile was strong through it all."
"Tile."
"That was fun while it lasted. Great job giving me that battle, my little pony." Timia walked over. "Did you like what you saw with my Delta Pokemon?"
"Yup. I'm pretty satisfied. What about ya'll?" Applejack asked her friends. They got to see Delta Pokemon exude their new typings through their bodies and even a performance from earlier. There was some satisfaction and yet they wanted to see more.
"Glad I could show you. But when you get to Holon, you're in for a surprise. You're gonna see more than just Pokemon with different types..." She cackled.
"More than different types? What do you mean by that?" Twilight asked before seeing Timia near a lake. Her reappearances were frantic as always.
"You'll see. For now, I've got places to be. But it was a blast showing up here. When you get to Holon, tell Professor Pine I said Hi."
"Any chance we can meet again?" Ash questioned.
"Maybe. Who knows?" She snickered before suddenly vanishing once the sun cast a shadow on where she once sat. "Just kidding. I'm gonna stay around at Oak's lab for a bit since the old guy wants to know more too."
"So do we!" Goh stepped forward, only to miss Timia as she was elsewhere. "How does she keep doing that?"
"You can do that when you get to the region. For now, peace out." Timia gave her farewell as everyone had left. And this time, she didn't leave with a random disappearance, she could be seen walking away. Although, it was still a mystery how she was able to do that. Truly a mysterious Trainer, Timia was.
Much like the mystery of Delta Pokemon. Visting Holon felt close now as there were other Delta Pokemon out there that hold types to see. And according to Timia, some of them go beyond just having different typings. Cryptic. But such was the nature of the Pokemon World and the Trainers that discover them as the journey continues.
Chapter 687 End.
