Chapter 2: Pokémon...(Tweaked)

-[The Dragon Theme – The Best of DragonBall Z, Vol. I]-
Celestia, Luna, Discord, Spike, and the Mane Six patiently sat as the four Trainers ready themselves to explain Pokémon to the best of their ability...

Sean started, "Pokémon are a race of mysterious and powerful creatures of an unknown origin, even in our world. They are capable of extraordinary things, and have wondrous power that helps the flow of nature to be stabilized, and create new kinds of matter..."

Rosa continued, "Us humans rely on Pokémon, as much as they rely on us, to make our world a wonderful place to live. Many humans ask for the help of the Pokémon for many different things, like building skyscraper towers..."

Yūki said, "There are over seven hundred individual species, with the total number of Pokémon species out there a complete mystery. There are scientists, like my father, who study the Pokémon to solve the many mysteries they hold."
Twilight's eyes lit up at Yūki's comment, these Pokémon had completely enthralled the young alicorn.

Yūki then continued, "Many people can keep Pokémon as pets, but what we Pokémon Trainers do is to help our Pokémon grow stronger by love and care, but the best way they grow is by battling other Pokémon. We trainers sometimes capture Pokémon in these Poké Balls so we-..."

Yūki was interrupted by an angry Fluttershy in his face, who said, "HOW DARE YOU! YOU DO NOT TREAT THESE CREA-..."

Fluttershy was suddenly grabbed by Yūki's Sceptile, and was pinned down as it growled menacingly at the pegasus, making her squeak in fright.

Brendan then said sternly in Japanese, "ジュカイン! いいえ! フラッターシャイだけをお任せください!"
Sceptile let the frightened pegasus go as Yūki said, "私はとても残念だ, just let me explain, our Pokémon wanted to come with us, if they feel like it they can leave anytime they want. By capturing, the Poké Balls are humane and comfortable to them, we trainers use them to have the Pokémon understand our feelings. If they allow themselves to be captured, that means they understand us. I won't lie, there are people who try to use Pokémon for horrible deeds, even a few individuals who view Pokémon as nothing more than tools that they can dispose of when their usefulness is used up."

Everyone gasped, as Fluttershy said, "How horrible! Y-you're sure you're not with them?"
Haruka said in an offended tone, “Heavens No! Of course we are not! I’d throw myself in front of a train before I let that happen!”
Rosa sighed as she said, "We actually fight against such horrible people, Sean especially, as he took down more villainous criminal organizations that abuse Pokémon more than any of us."

The ponies, Discord, and Spike all looked at Sean with surprise as Applejack said, "Wait a minute! You took down several gangs of no-good bad guys?! Shouldn't you leave that kind of thing to the authorities?"

Sean sighed as he answered, "I couldn't sit by as they abuse innocent Pokémon, and some of them were after the Legendary Pokémon, to use them for their horrible goals..."

The trainer stopped when the ponies stare in confusion, as they asked at the same time, "Legendary Pokémon? What are those?"

The trainers looked at each other, even though they personally know about the Legendary Pokémon themselves, they knew next to nothing about them. The ponies could tell that what they know about the Legendary Pokémon seemed limited at best. Celestia was about to ask them to tell what they do know, until a member of the Royal Guard burst in the throne room in a hurry.

-[Drought – Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
The guard said, "Y-your highness! An urgent report from the sentry posts down by the base of the mountain. There's some sort of creature approaching the castle, w-with a blue sea-serpent that's destroying the forest!"

Brendan said in response, "A blue sea-serpent? Uh, Princess Celestia, is it okay if we go check it out? This 'blue sea-serpent' sounds like a certain Pokémon we know..."


-[Explosive Encounter! Red and Blue – Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
Twilight was hanging on for dear life in the grasp of Rosa's Dragonite... Haruka was riding her Latias with Applejack and Pinkie Pie, while Sean rode his Latios with Fluttershy and Yūki holding on. They headed to the 'blue sea-serpent' which was, as the trainers suspected, a rampaging Gyarados.

The trainers and ponies landed in the path of the Gyarados as Yūki said, "Alright Gyarados, go back to where you came from and we won't have to hurt you..."
But the Gyarados stopped in front of the group, only ten feet away, then the Gyarados glowed red as it then turned into red energy, then disappeared into a Poké ball, being held by a tall figure.

The figure spoke, "I will not stop! I need to know where I am! And none of you trainers shall stand in my way...of creating a world without a weak thing called a spirit..."

Sean flinched, because he recognized who the voice belonged to, and gritted his teeth in anger, the voice belonged to an old foe of his, one he had not seen in years, back when he was an 11-year-old boy traveling through Hokkaido. Sure enough, the figure stepped out of the shadows of the trees, revealing a tall, blue-haired man, wearing a business suit/spacesuit with a yellow "G" on the left breast. He was the leader of Team Galactic, and one of the sworn enemies of Sean...

"Akagi (Cyrus)..." Sean bitterly uttered under his breath, only Twilight and Celestia hearing him...

Sean and Cyrus were, for a lack of a better term, enemies, fierce enemies that hated each other from the last time they met, Sean foiled Cyrus' plans to create a new universe in his own image in a space where they last fought and seen each other, the Distortion World.

Rosa recognized the stylized "G" and asked, "A-are you with those psychotic criminals, Team Galactic?"

The natives of Equestria gasped at Rosa's question, while Cyrus coldly stared at the trainers and ponies, identifying every one of them.

He then said, "I'm their leader, Akagi-dono, and don't stand in my way, lest I will crush you under my foot, little girl..."

He paused and noticed one trainer glaring at him, he said with slight anger, "YOU! I remember you, Sean Hashimoto, you got in my way in my plan to create a universe of my own, but you look...older...Have you been any wiser since we last met, or are you still that hyper little brat I remember you as..."

Sean said in a tone virtually alien to everyone but Rosa, a low tone like he was serious (in a scary way), "You still view everyone, innocent people, to be ugly, incomplete beings you would sooner destroy? How you say that unlike me or other trainers, you don't view Pokémon as friends or partners, and unlike your disbanded followers, who you told me were useless as the people you despise, you don't use Pokémon as tools to get what you want..."

Cyrus chuckled in a low, evil-sounding way, as the ponies were horrified that someone as horrible as this man before them was here, and then he finished, "...How instead, I use the Pokémon’s power as my own, to bend them to my will. I see, you remember me well, clearly it has been years since we fought in that ugly, yet pleasantly quiet place, the Distortion World..."

Sean spat in anger, "How can I forget the man who mistreated Pokémon, the man who was willing to destroy everyone in the universe, and the universe itself, and reshape it in your twisted image..."

Cyrus grinned as he said, "You would thank me for ridding you of that incomplete thing called spirit...even worshiped me as a god…"

Sean shouted with hatred, "Yeah right, idiot! You were going to make everyone miserable and nothing but emotionless zombies by using Dialga and Palkia's powers to do your dirty work! I won't forget what you did to the Lake Guardians to create that thing you used on the Dragons of Time and Space. You put the three Pokemon in horrible pain, I even felt that pain by just looking at them, and even now I still feel that pain you put Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf through!"

Everyone noticed Sean clutching his side tightly, like he was in pain Twilight noticed the hate in the trainer's eyes, and she winced and gulped in fright. She noticed that spot was where she saw that scar earlier at the hospital in Ponyville. Fluttershy was furious at the man for doing such horrible things, she was going to fly up to his face, but Cyrus had an aura of dread that was fierce enough that the kind pegasus dared not to. Even Celestia, Discord, and Luna dare not speak against the wicked, but deep down, sad man.

-[The Pokémon League Besieged - Pokémon Black & White]-
Cyrus then said, "Nothing will stop me from achieving my goal..."
He pulled out a Poké Ball as he continued, "...And I'll crush anyone who stands in my way!"

Yūki, Haruka, and Rosa readied their Poké Balls, and the ponies readied to join the fight, but Sean rose his arm in front of them.

Rarity asked, "Sean dear, why are you..."
She was interrupted by the trainer saying, "He's mine! He is my foe to fight. For your own good, stand back, take cover behind those boulders, I'll take on Akagi...myself..."

Twilight said in surprise, "What?! There's no way we would let you face him by your-..."
Rosa placed a hand over the alicorn's mouth and said, "From what I’ve heard, sensei has beaten that man multiple times before, when he was a kid. He's much older and wiser than the last time they fought. Heed sensei's advice, you guys are about to witness your first Pokémon Battle, though this one is much more serious than they usually are."

Deciding not to fight about it anymore, Twilight sought cover along with the other trainers, ponies, Discord, and Spike taking cover. The three trainers each sent out a Gigalith (Rosa's), a Golem (May's), and a Hariyama (Brendan's) in front of their barricades, to protect them from any attacks Cyrus might send at them, intentional or not.

(No Music - Traditional Wind Blowing Through a Forest sound)
The air was blowing strongly, but quietly, like a scene in a movie, the final duel between two samurai. Sean and Cyrus stood for a minute, saying nothing and clenching their first Pokémon in a Poké Ball tightly.

Cyrus asked Sean, "Where's that Giratina you captured? Are you going to use the god of anti-matter against me? The one who stopped me when I did summon its siblings, Dialga and Palkia?"

Sean said nothing, a cold, emotionless stare was etched on his face, with his hat casting an ominous shadow over his eye-line, his eyes visible clearly in the shadow...

Twilight noticed the, in her and her friend's opinions, creepy glare on Sean's face, she said aloud, "Sean...is like a completely different person now. How is it that that...happy, mischievous young boy earlier...and this cold, ruthless-looking boy I see now...be the same person?"

Pinkie Pie shouted at the top of her lungs, "SEAN! YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS BEAT THAT MEANIE PANTS REAL GOOD FOR ME AND FLUTTERSHY!!!!!!"

Cyrus growled quietly at how annoying that pink creature was, unaware that Sean hid a wicked smirk and said too quietly for anyone to hear, "I plan to...Pinkie-san…"


~{Battle! Pokémon Trainer Sean VS. Team Galactic Boss, Cyrus}~
-[Battle! Team Galactic Boss - Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum]-

Cyrus and Sean threw their Poké Balls out to their battlefield, the Poké Balls collided and in a blinding light, their first Pokémon were sent out...they were having a full battle, 6 Pokémon vs. 6 Pokémon.

Cyrus' first Pokémon was the DARK/FIRE type, Houndoom, as it let out its battle cry, "ROUH-DOOHAHM!"

Sean's first Pokémon was the powerful PSYCHIC/FIGHTING type, Gallade, and Gallade let out his own battle cry, "GAHAL-LLADDE!"

Then in an instant, the two Pokémon charged to each other, Gallade getting the first attack as his trainer shouted, "Use Close Combat!"

Gallade did as instructed, its body began to glow faintly and like an instant, Gallade unleashed powerful punches and kicks on Cyrus' Houndoom, but the Dark Pokémon dodged the last few finishing blows as his red muzzle began to spark tiny flames.

Cyrus then shouted his command, "Fire Fang!"
Houndoom's mouth then was coated in flames and it bit Gallade's body, making the Blade Pokémon flinch in pain, he then punched the Houndoom off, clutching his side.

Sean then said, "Leaf Blade..." and Gallade's elbows extended out into long, green-glowing blades, and in one swift strike, the fiery demon dog fainted, his stamina exhausted and being unable to battle.

Cyrus bitterly gritted his teeth as he called back his Houndoom, and Sean called back Gallade.

Pinkie, Rainbow, Applejack, Spike, and Discord whooped at the quick, but epic first round they witnessed, and cheered at Sean's victory.

Twilight asked, "I-is it over?"
Rosa answered, "Not by a long shot, Twilight. They're having a full battle, which means they fight till all of one-side's Pokémon are unable to battle. Fortunately, Pokémon Battles rarely kill Pokémon or their trainers, you can thank the Poké Ball for that..."

They all silenced as Sean and Cyrus sent out their second Pokémon.

"CCCRRRRRRRROOOHEOOOWWWWWW-BBBBAAAIIAATTTTT!!!" Cyrus sent out his POISON/FLYING type, Crobat, a four winged purple bat-like creature.

"LUUUXXXRRAAAAAIAAAYY!" Sean sent out his pure ELECTRIC type, Luxray, a black and blue lion-like creature, with gold eyes.

This round, Cyrus' Crobat was faster, and Cyrus sent his command, "Use Sludge Bomb!" the Bat Pokémon sucked in air and launched several brown balls of sludge from its mouth at the Gleam Eyes Pokémon, who braced for the attack.

Sean then called out, "Luxray! Use Iron Tail on that attack then follow up with your most powerful ELECTRIC-Type attack!" Luxray's tail glowed and then shimmered like polished steel, he swung his tail and made Crobat's Sludge Bomb explode on contact.

Cyrus then said, "Crobat! Stay on the move, Thunder's accuracy is low enough for you to dodge easily!"

Sean then said, "What? Are you an idiot! Luxray doesn't know Thunder, but he does know a much more dangerous attack than Thunder, or did you forget old man...?"

Cyrus was wide eyed as he remembered too late as Sean shouted the command, "DISCHARGE!!!"
Luxray bellowed loudly as it fired thousands of lightning bolts in all directions, Sean and Cyrus dodging them. Rosa's Gigalith, May's Golem, and Brendan's Hariyama all shielded the ponies and trainers from Luxray's vicious attack. Crobat was hit by the Discharge, and was electrocuted, causing its stamina to plummet to zero, causing it to faint.

While Cyrus and Sean called back their Pokémon, Rainbow Dash said, "That is EPIC! Ohmygosh! I never knew how AWESOME Pokémon and Pokémon Battles were!"

Now Cyrus sent out his vicious DARK/FLYING type Pokémon, Honchkrow, as it called out, "HHEEOOONNNCCCH-KRRRROWWWWW!"

Sean sent out his powerful fossil Pokémon, Tyrantrum as it bellowed, "TTTTRRRRYYYYYYAAAAAANNNNNIUUUNNNTTTTTTT!"

Tyrantrum crashed with a thud to the ground, as it growled like a caged tiger at the Big Boss Pokémon it was facing. Cyrus back-stepped a little from the Despot Pokémon’s growl, never seeing the Despot Pokémon before.

Honchkrow cawed as it readied Steel Wing, per its trainer's order, and then it dive-bombed straight to the head of Tyrantrum, to give him no opportunity to strike by rendering the massive dinosaur-like Pokémon unconscious or blind. Unfortunately, Tyrantrum had fairly high defenses that did nothing more than irritate the ROCK/DRAGON-Type.

"What's he doing? I’ve seen that thing in battle, and Tyrantrum can easily dodge that attack, why is he just standing there?" Yūki asked aloud, but looked to see Haruka and Rosa with confident grins, he looked over and noticed Sean having a very serious expression, the kind only a trainer with sharp eyes looking for a weakness.

Sean, was actually biding his time, he repeated quietly to his Tyrantrum, "...wait for it...wait for it..."

When Cyrus' Honchkrow was a mere two feet from colliding with Tyrantrum's rock-hard skull, Sean's eyes widened and he shouted, "NOW! ICE FANG! Then follow up with…"

Tyrantrum's eyes narrowed and then his steel-shredding jaws grew ice over his fangs, he jerked his head to the side, dodging the Steel Wing attack by a mere inch, and bit down on Honchkrow's body, hard. Honchkrow cawed in pain at the boosted (because of Tyrantrum's ability, Strong Jaw), super-effective attack, then Tyrantrum threw the Big Boss Pokémon back and dug his massive foot claws in the dirt.

Sean then shouted, "A HEAD SMASH, FIRE FANG COMBO!!!" and Tyrantrum with flaming fangs, charged forward at a surprising speed, surrounded by a glowing, violent blue aura that made the Despot Pokémon look like a meteor and crashed head first into Honchkrow. The collision triggered an explosion, kicking up massive amounts of dust and smoke, Tyrantrum slid out of the smoke, electricity sparking all over his body, making him wince in pain from the recoil damage. Honchkrow was knocked for a loop, unable to battle anymore.

“Ready to give up? You know at this point I’ve clearly have the advantage, Akagi!” Sean said confidently.

Cyrus bit his lip as he called back his defeated Honchkrow, and Sean called back his Tyrantrum. Now realizing his opponent was much stronger than before, Cyrus sent out the demolisher of his Pokémon, his Gyarados, as it hissed loudly, "GYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Sean sent out his Latios in response to Cyrus' choice, and it bellowed, "GYyyyyyrrrrrraaaaayyyyyaaarRRrooooohhhhhh!"

Cyrus smirked as he remembered that Gyarados gave his opponent trouble before, and had nearly defeated Sean with Gyarados that same time. Sean, however, was not worried one bit, he even knew that Gyarados was a challenge in the past when he was a beginner trainer, but not anymore with his experience taking down several Gyarados in his recent battles. Sean even smirked a little that, because Cyrus' Gyarados can't mega evolve, it was a much easier battle for him now. Practically a piece of cake.

“Mmm…Cake…” Pinkie said while smacking her lips, confusing everyone on why the party pony thought about cake at the present moment…

Cyrus gave his command, "Gyarados! AVALANCHE!!!" the Atrocious Pokémon hissed loudly as it charged at Latios with frightening speed, with freezing boulders trailing behind it.
Latios dodged the attack swiftly, diving and spinning out of harm’s way and used Aerial Ace and Steel Wing to deliver a series of small blows along the Atrocious Pokémon’s body.

“Stone Edge!” Cyrus shouted as Gyarados slammed its huge tail to the ground and roared. The action caused stones to appear around the WATER/FLYING-Type’s body, then shoot into the ground, to only appear as jutting stones that shot up and struck Latios’ body, but not before Latios fires a Charge Beam attack smack in Gyarados’ face.

Sean said, "Good work Latios, now for the finishing blow, let's show Cyrus why you're a Legendary Pokémon..."
The ponies gasped that Latios was one of these supposed 'Legendary Pokémon' Sean mentioned earlier, as he and Cyrus shouted their Pokémon’s attacks.

"LUSTER PURGE!"
"GIGA IMPACT!"

The Eon Pokémon, Latios fired a pink blast of glowing and sparkling energy, as Gyarados charged surrounded by a gold and lavender swirling aura around its body. These two attacks collided and generated powerful shockwaves that flattened nearby trees and nearly blew everyone away several yards. The collision also generated a column of smoke, obscuring any clear vision on what happened to Latios and Gyarados. Then, Latios flew out like a bullet, his body showing clear signs of injury from such an attack, but Gyarados, had it much worse, and crashed to the ground, rendered unconscious from the collision. Gyarados was indeed powerful, but Latios was the stronger Pokémon…

Cyrus angrily gritted his teeth as he called back the tool of a Pokémon he was sure would have given his opponent trouble, he then said calmly, "You have certainly improved greatly from our last encounter. I am impressed Sean, you would have been an excellent member of Team Galactic, why don't we join forces to create a world where there is no sadness, no anger-..."

He was interrupted when Sean spat in disgust and exclaimed, "NO F***ING WAY! Megalomaniac! Team Galactic is no more, has been for years, you have no Team Galactic anymore..."
Cyrus was taken aback as Sean sent out his fifth Pokémon, his Gardevoir, as it said, "Grrrraaaaaoooooohohhhh!"

Cyrus stared coldly as he sent out his fast and powerful Weavile, it let out its battle cry, "WWeee-eee-aaaa-aaaaa-vvv-vviii-illl-llee-ee!"

Cyrus ordered his Weavile to use Night Slash, Gardevoir endured thanks to her FAIRY type, but was able to land a Thunder Punch that slowed the Sharp Claw Pokémon down somewhat.

Cyrus shouted to his Weavile, taking a page from Sean’s prior move combo, "Use Metal Claw with Ice Punch!"

Sean said to his Gardevoir, "Easy girl, wait till it gets close enough and...Now!"

The Embrace Pokemon's body glowed in a bright light and she took a deep breath, then Sean gave the command.
"Dazzling Gleam and Hyper Voice combo!"

Gardevoir unleashed a powerful scream that generated powerful shock-waves and made everyone cover their ears at the loud, high-pitched sound, and then thousands of tiny glittering beams of blinding light rode the Hyper Voice and both attacks collided with Cyrus' Weavile. Due to Weavile's mediocre defenses and types, the attack completely devestated the Sharp Claw Pokémon, and Cyrus called it back, bitter about the FAIRY-type that made Gardevoir a much more powerful Pokémon than the DARK/ICE type, Weavile, whereas several years ago, the dynamic was shifted to Weavile’s favor.

Cyrus held his last Pokémon, contained in his last Poké Ball, his last chance to defeat the boy that foiled his plans before and is now foiling them again. Sean had called back his tired Gardevoir for a good rest, and everyone else was waiting in tense suspense.

Cyrus asked Sean, "Why? Why must you get in my way, boy?"

Sean was silent, he was actually just a little nervous, last time he fought Cyrus, he only had the five Pokémon he had now defeated, he never fought whatever Pokémon that the ex-leader of Team Galactic has left, and is ready to send out.

The young trainer took a deep breath, and answered, "Because what you are doing is wrong, someone has to stop you by any and all accounts. That's why I stand in your way, back then...and here now...I will defeat you!" Sean clutched his right fist and readied to send out his final Pokémon.

Everyone cheered, while Cyrus' anger grew, the fact his emotions were welling up because of Sean, again, made him determined to win this battle...by any means necessary...

He threw out his last Pokémon, and out of the Poké Ball, came the insanely powerful DARK/ROCK type, Tyranitar, it let out a loud roar, "TTTYYYYYYRRRRRRRAAAAAAANNNNN!!!" and then it summoned a sandstorm, due to its ability, Sand Stream.

Rosa gasped and said, "Ak-Akagi has a...a Tyranitar?!"

Applejack asked the trainers, "Uh...is that a bad thing, this Akagi feller having a Tee-ran-ie-tar?"
Yūki answered, "Tyranitar are some of the most powerful Pokémon out there. Their rampages can level forests, bury rivers, and flatten mountains easily..."

The Equestrians gulped in fright, something that powerful actually exists and is here on their soil.
Twilight asked, "I-is t-there a...a weakness that Tyranitar has?"

Rosa answered Twilight's question, "Quite a lot, if someone can endure its devastating attacks that is...Sensei Sean knows how powerful a Tyranitar is more than anyone, he raises quite a few, so he knows their strengths and weaknesses, like a scholar reading a children's book. He knows exactly how to take a Tyranitar down, Princess Twilight..."

Twilight nodded in understanding, but thought that Sean was crazy raising 'quite a few' of these creatures had "VERY BAD IDEA!" written all over it. Everyone noticed that Sean was surprisingly calm, despite Cyrus' Tyranitar being far stronger than his previous Pokémon. Sean didn't show even the slightest worry, as he sent out one of his trusted partners, and the perfect Pokémon, to face the Armor Pokémon, Lucario.

-[Forest Battle - Transformers; Revenge of the Fallen]-
Lucario let out its battle cry, "Arrroooffff!" Cyrus recognized the Lucario, it was the same individual Pokémon that delivered the final blow to his plans, his ego, and his pride, a few years ago in the Distortion World.

He said, "I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme...I won't lose to you again! Not to you Hashimoto…"

Sean then remarked, "That's what they all say, before I prove them wrong, it's like what you said to me about the concept of genes. The spirit is the same thing as a single strand of DNA, that one cannot exist without the other, in this case, the human mind cannot exist without the 'vague and incomplete thing' we call the spirit..."

The stone in the brace Lucario was wearing started to glow brightly, as Sean continued, "...The one thing you are trying to get rid of..."

Then Sean's right wrist glowed as well, he pulled his right arm up, revealing a black bracelet with a rainbow stone embedded in it, as Lucario and Tyranitar started their battle already. They each delivered an attack, but dodged them without a single scratch, it was a slug-fest with either Pokémon trying to land a blow.

Celestia noticed the glowing stone and asked, "What is that thing on his wrist?"

Everyone was too focused on the battle, and Sean finally finished, "...I won't let you doom everyone to extinction, Akagi! I will always stand in your way!"

With his left hand, Sean touched the rainbow-colored stone on his bracelet, then the stone released blinding multi-colored tentacles of light that connected with the stone on Sean's Lucario. Then, Lucario glowed in a otherworldly light that formed a sphere, the sphere then cracked as it expanded, then in a blink of an eye, Lucario emerged from the shattered sphere, looking more ferocious and powerful that before.

He let out his cry, which seemed to echo in the air, "AAAAARRRRRRROOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!", and a spectrum DNA helix appeared over Lucario's head, as strong pulses emitted from Lucario himself. The pulses went past the humans, Pokémon, ponies, draconequus, and dragon taking cover, the pulses vibrating every part of their being.

Applejack flinched as she said, "Yeesh! What in the wide, wide world of Equestria was that, and what happened to Lucario?!"

Rosa uttered loud enough for everyone to hear, "Sensei Mega Evolved Lucario! That pulse w-was Lucario's aura..."

Discord asked, "Mega Evolved?! What does that mean, pretty girl?"

May answered for Rosa, "It means...Tyranitar is outclassed in strength, and Akagi is now in deep trouble..."

Cyrus couldn't understand what he just witnessed, but getting the feeling he does not want to hesitate even for a second, he ordered, "Tyranitar! Use Superpower!"
Tyranitar charged forward and reared its arm back, readying a powerful crushing blow to its opponent, but Mega Lucario stood there, not moving. Tyranitar threw its fists down as Mega Lucario blocked the attack with one paw. The force of the blow created a crater and sent small, but very violent earthquakes, the battlefield was in total destruction, but Mega Lucario was unscathed.

Cyrus sputtered in shock, "W-w-what?!" Mega Lucario reared his own free fist back as a glowing sphere of energy formed in his free paw.

Sean then said, "Now, Mega Lucario, AURA SPHERE!" Lucario fired the Aura Sphere at point-blank range and launched the bigger and heavier Armor Pokémon skywards, with the Mega Pokémon following closely behind.

Sean then issued three commands to Mega Lucario, the sandstorm and dust picking up intensity, "Close Combat! Blaze Kick! Dragon Pulse!"

Mega Lucario nodded and shot forward to his opponent, with his trainer shouting commands as well, Tyranitar threw a Fire Punch, but Mega Lucario dodged and sent a flurry of kicks and punches, making loud cracking sounds with each blow. Tyranitar then tried to fire a Dark Pulse attack, but Mega Lucario repelled the attack, and its right leg caught on fire, ready to unleash Blaze Kick. Even if the attack wasn't effective against it, Blaze Kick landed a critical hit and sent Cyrus' Tyranitar plummeting to the ground and crashed with a mighty thud. Tyranitar then roared with fury as it unleashed the powerful attack, Outrage, Mega Lucario took a few hits, then fired a purple, green, yellow, and white shock-wave from its paws, releasing Dragon Pulse that severely weakened the Armor Pokémon.

Tyranitar was charging up for a powerful Hyper Beam attack, while Sean took another deep breath and commanded, "Flash Cannon!!!"

Mega Lucario cupped his paws to his side, (in the infamous Kamehameha pose) and then fired an extra-powerful Flash Cannon, the metallic shimmering beam colliding with Tyranitar's chest before it can use Hyper Beam and created an enormous explosion, that made everyone shield their eyes. When the flash subsided, Cyrus looked in horror as his Tyranitar was beaten, easily, as it laid unconscious under some rocks.

-[Victory! (Team Flare) - Pokémon X & Y]-
He said, "No! This cannot be! I was defeated by the same boy again! What of the sacrifices I made! What is to become of my world now?"

Pinkie shouted with glee, "YAHOO!!! SEAN BEAT MR. MEANIE PANTS REAL GOOD!!!!"
Everyone cheered for Sean's victory over the leader of Team Galactic, as Mega Lucario already reverted to its regular appearance and Cyrus called back his defeated Tyranitar.

Sean won ¥20,793 from Cyrus...


-[Drought – Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
Cyrus stood there, horribly furious and ready to kill something (if we're lucky, he won't), as he stared at the boy who had derailed his plans yet again.

He said, "How is it that you defeat me? What was that with your Lucario? It looked like it evolved..."

Sean coldly replied, "It is something you won't be able to do, without going against what you view Pokémon as. The very thing you ridiculed is what made me victorious and what gave my Lucario the power-boost to kick your-..."

"SILENCE!"
Cyrus shouted at the top of his lungs, then said, "One day, boy, you and your pathetic friends WILL awake in a world I created in my image..."

He turned his back and continued, "...a world without spirit or heart..."

Everyone tried to subdue him, but in a puff of smoke and a sudden flash, Cyrus disappeared, and chances are likely he is long gone. Celestia and Luna shook their heads with annoyance, now a psychopath who wants to destroy the world and recreate it in his own image was on the loose in their peaceful kingdom.

Sean snapped out of his serious self after he said, "Well princesses...you might want to put wanted posters and arrest warrants on Akagi now. He will be serious trouble if we don't catch him and turn him in to the police in our world. But, we can just kill the ******* and be done with it..."

Everyone gasped at what he said, with Fluttershy interrupting by asking the trainer, "Why would we want to do something so cruel to a sad man like him?"

Sean replied in a deadpanned tone, "Because, I really despise that 'sad man', he has done nothing but lie and has done unspeakably horrible things that would earn him the worse possible punishment your world can dish out. Though..." he calmly breathed and said, "I see your point, Fluttershy, he is definitely not the worst criminal I faced against, and Akagi would just be one of them..."

Celestia nodded in agreement, while Luna said, "We shall apprehend this human for crimes he has yet to be dealt with and shall hold him till your world's authorities take him into custody."

"You better be sure we'd help out too..." Brendan said with confidence, earning May's support too as she said, "We have dealt with guys that are pretty tough ourselves, Akagi is no problem for us!"

Sean had a smile of relief, but then said, "Maybe we should return to Canterlot Castle, Celestia-hime. I've got Pokémon to check up on and thank for helping me win the battle. A few of them need some medical attention, mind helping me Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy said, "Oh yes, I'd love to help you treat your hard-working Pokémon, Sean...and it looks like you need a little treatment too..."

Sean realized that Fluttershy was talking about the various scrapes and scratches all over his body, Rarity insisted that she tidy them up from the 'icky' dust coated over them. Rainbow Dash, Discord, Pinkie, and Applejack were talking about how amazing and awesome the Pokémon and the Pokémon battle were.


To be continued...
