Sunlight opened his eyes and looked at the sky.

“Wow, the sky is beautiful today, he said. Wait...The sky?!”

He turned his head and realized he was lying in the middle of a forest, and more surprising, a little creature was on his chest, looking at him. The creature in question was little and cute looking, like a little bunny or something. He screamed, which scared the creature, who ran away. He got up and saw he was alone.

“Where the fuck am i?! He said to himself. Last night, i was in my bed, and now, i wake up in the middle of nowhere. At least, this is not a desert...”

He walked for a little moment, exploring this new place. He saw multiple animal-like creatures which he got captivated by.

“One thing is sure, this place is not Canterlot, or Equestria, he said. Did i get, in someway, get teleported in another world?”

Sunlight verified this theory, to see if he was indeed in another world. He tried to use his magic, and at his surprise, it worked.

“Okay, this world possess magic, he thought. But this is not enough to prove my theory. Let’s continue the researches...”

He walked for many hours in the forest, during when he got to see a lot of creatures that were definitively not from Equestria. He finally found a road which was maybe meaning this world had humans peoples. He continued on his way for 1 more hour before he arrived at the entrance of a town.

“«Lumiose City, The national capital of Kalos, Home of the greatest superstars» read Sunlight on a board. Well, now i have the proof i am in another world.”

He proceeded to explore this city and learned a lot of things. He was seeing everywhere the word Pokemon, which he quickly deduced as being the name given to the creatures he saw earlier. He also saw live fights between the creatures, which were commended by humans, who were holding spherical balls. He learned by reading the name on one of them: they were called Pokeballs.

“Hum, after what i learned of this world until now, he though, Humans of this world seem to use these spherical balls to, in some way, capture these creatures. Then, they make them fight against other creatures, like a sort of competition. I can’t do anything but just find that stupid...But at the same time, i want to learn more about this...”

He searched for a place where he could find information, but strangely, a lot of people were looking at him. That was because he realized he was wearing is «Superhero costume», which was very flashy. Even one of them, a man, told him:

“Ho, this is a very cool costume you wear, man! Are you some kind of mysterious trainer?”

“Hum..Yeah, Totally! He answered. I was actually trying to find an expert on Pokemons, but this is the first time i visit this town.”

“Oh, if you search for a Pokemon expert, i know where you can find one. Just follow me”

The man led him in front of a building where he could read: «Pokemon Research Center»

“Thank you” said Sunlight to the man.

“You’re welcome!” he answered.

Sunlight entered in the building and suddenly got attacked by a cat like creature.

“Not again, Litten, stop!!” said a man.

Sunlight, panicked, took the creature in his hand and was able to hold him back. Suddenly, the cat-like creature calmed down instantly and licked his hand.

“I am sorry he attacked you, said the man. He have the bad habit to protect fiercely his territory.”

The cat was now purring in the hands of Sunlight.

“He seem to like you a lot, said the man. This is the first time i see him being so cuddly with a trainer he just met. Oh, i was forgetting to present myself: I am the professor Sycamore and my specialty is to study and lead researches on the Pokemons, I also to help trainers to learn more about them. And from what i see, you seem to need help”

The professor led Sunlight to a place where a lot of pokemons were playing and having a great time. Sunlight was still holding the Litten in his hands, because this one was refusing to leave him. Sunlight told him that he wanted to learn more about these creatures and about the trainer carrier.

“Hum, you don’t seem a little bit...old, for beginning a Pokemon trainer carrier?” asked the man.

“My parents, were, let just say, a little bit overprotective..” he said.

“I understand, answered Sycamore. Some parents can be more protective than others, well, like people say, better late than never, uh?”

He gave him a strange object with a more stranger shape

“This is a Pokedex, a portable data bank on every pokemons discovered until now.” he said.

The Pokedex started to move on its own and suddenly took life.

“Welcome, Trainer, i am a Rotom-Dex!! Said the device. I am glad to meet my new owner!!”

“Are you some kind of A.I?” asked Sunlight, surprised and captivated.

“No, said Sycamore. What you have in front of you is just a normal Pokedex combined to a Rotom”

“A Rotom?” asked Sunlight.

“Rotom, the Plasma Pokemon, He is a Electrick/Ghost type Pokemon who have the ability to combine his body in any sort of technological device, answered the Rotom-Dex. To gave you an example, If a Rotom take possession of a oven, he will acquire the Fire type instead of the Ghost Type.”

“Now, you will need a Poke-Nav, which is a sort of G.S.P, said Sycamore. The last thing you need before beginning your adventure is a starter Pokemon.”

The professor led Sunlight to a room where 3 little Pokemons, One with frog-like features, another with fox-like features and the last one, with hedgehog features.

“Allow me to present these 3 pokemons, said Motisma-Dex. The one at the right is Froakie, A water type Pokemon with great speed and fast attacks. This pokemon have a sticky foam in his neck, which can be used for a lot of situations. The Pokemon in the middle is Chespin, a Plant type Pokemon. Chespin is known to have a great defensive potential and a good attack, this pokemon can resist an impact with a heavy truck without getting any scratch. The last one is Fennekin, a Fire type pokemon who combine agility and power and love attention.”

“I will choose the Fire type pokemon, said Sunlight, without hesitation. I love fire...and he is so cute...!”

“I was sure you would choose Fennekin, said Sycamore. He is pretty popular in the region, Well, there is his Pokeball.”

The professor gave him the Pokeball.

“Now, you are ready to begin you adventure! Said Sycamore. If i was you, i would try to compete in the Pokemon League.”

“Pokemon League?” said Sunlight, a bit interested.

“The Pokemon League is a sort of tournament, he answered. Only the trainers who have 8 Gym badges, obtainable from the Gym Leaders if you beat them, can participate. This competition will reunite all the trainers who collected their badges and made them fight each other. The trainer who will win the finale will have the chance to fight the Elite 4 and the Champion of the Pokemon League. And if the trainer beat the Elite 4 and the Champion, he or she will be crowned the new Pokemon League Champion.”

“Sound exciting, said Sunlight. Where can i register for the tournament?”

“You can do it at any Pokemon Center, answered Sycamore. Nurse Joy will help you with that”

“Thank you, said Sunlight. Goodbye!”

But when Sunlight was about to left, the Litten he was holding sooner jumped in his arms.

“Hum...Professor?” he asked.

“He he he... Litten seem to like you a lot. He never did that before. I found him abandoned by a trainer during a trip to Alola, i immediately took him with me and brought it back to my lab.”

“Who can be heartless enough to abandon a pokemon?” asked Sunlight.

“Someone who doesn’t understand how wonderful a pokemon is” answered Sycamore.

Sunlight looked the little cat pokemon in the eyes and saw in them a spark.

“Can i keep him with me? Asked Sunlight. He really love me, and i will take care of him”

“Hum, You know what? He asked. If Litten want you for trainer and you want him for companion, then yes, you can keep him.”

The professor walked in another room, then 2 minutes later, came back with a Pokeball.

“Use that pokeball to catch him” he said.

Sunlight took the Pokeball and showed it to Litten.

“Hey, little one, he said. Do you want to have me for trainer?”

The Litten smelt the Pokeball and touched the button with his paw. He disappeared into the ball and that one moved a lot of time before it flashed and made a noise. Sycamore smiled.

“Now, you are the new owner of Litten, he said. I am sure you will take care of him, you are the first trainer he accept since he got abandoned and that mean he saw something special in you.”

Sunlight also took Fennekin’s Pokeball with him and after saying a last goodbye to Sycamore, he headed in direction of a Pokemon Center. He saw a woman who he deduced to be Nurse Joy. She explained to him her duties and helped him to register his name for the League.

“You have 2 months to collect all the badges of the region, she told him. If you don’t have all of them, you will not be able to compete for the Pokemon League of Kalos.”

“Thank you, Nurse Joy!” he said.

“You are welcome!! She said in return. Came back whenever you want!”

Sunlight asked his Motisma-Dex which Gym Leader he should challenge first. The Pokedex told him that there was a Gym Leader in this town, but also said that he was maybe a little bit too powerful for Sunlight at the moment.

“With your Fire type Pokemons, he said. I recommend you to challenge the Gym Leader from Santalune City. She is a Bug type specialist. Fire type attack are super effective against the Bug type.”

“So, show me the itinerary to this city” ordered Sunlight.

The Rotom-Dex showed him the best path to take to make it to the town.

“So, this is on!! Said Sunlight. I have the feeling that a great adventure await me!”
> Chapter 2: Sunset Shimmer, In the world of Pokemons
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset Shimmer woke up in the middle of a beautiful grass field. She suddenly felt something on her belly, like if an animal was on her. She got up and looked around her.

”Where am i? She asked to herself. I am definitively not in my chamber anymore...I bet Rainbow Dash or Applejack must have played to me some kind of joke...”

She felt behind her the presence of something and she turned her head, but there was nothing. She decided to explore the place. She walked for a while, with the impression someone was following her. That feeling was becoming more intense with the time passing.

”Something is definitively spying on me, she thought. Is that something invisible? Maybe...”

She almost had an heart attack when a creature appeared in front of her.

“Mew!!!” said the little creature.

Sunset fell on her butt and looked at the creature. She deduced the cute looking creature was the presence she was feeling since a few minutes.

“Mew?” said the creature, when it came closer of Sunset.

“No, i am Sunset Shimmer, she answered. What are you?”

The Pokemon didn’t answer.

“Oh, you can’t speak like me, she said. Well, can i touch you?”

The pokemon agreed without hesitation and came close enough of her so she could touch the cute creature. She read its memories and learned that the Pokemon was called Mew. She also learned everything about this world.

“Thank you, Mew, she said. I understand everything, now. And yes, i am sort of a psychic”

Mew read at his turn Sunset’s memories and saw the kindness, bravery, determination and love she demonstrated.

“Mew!!” said Mew.

“Did you just read my memories too?” she asked.

The pokemon answered by an affirmative head sign.

“So, you understand what i said?” she asked.

Mew answered by another affirmative head sign.

“Can you talk our language? She asked. At least, speak by telepathy?”

The Pokemon made an negative head sign.

“That suck, she said. I would have asked you why you were following me...”

Mew teleported away and came back 2 second later with a piece of paper and a pencil. He started to write and showed what he wrote to her. That was some kind of Japanese language, but fortunately for her, she took Japanese language classes (i know, Sunset doesn’t speak Japanese, but this is a fan fiction after all, so why not?) and the paper was saying: «I followed you because I love kind-heart humans. I saw in your heart that you were nice, kind, loving and determinated. I also saw how much you value friendship»

“I owe what i became today to a friend who showed my the path to the light” she said.

Mew continued writing on a another piece of paper and showed it to her. The message was saying «Do you want to be my friend?».

“Sure, answered Sunset. I would love having you on my sides, especially in this new world. I accept your friendship, Mew”

The pokemon made a scream of happiness and hugged Sunset with his little hands. Then, he found a place in her backpack.

“So, can you bring me in the nearest town of the region, Mew?” asked Sunset.

Mew’s answer was to teleport her at the entrance of a town called Pallet Town. She thanked him and the pokemon smiled back to her. Sunset entered in the town and was surprised by it's beauty. This place was so quiet, shiny and full of colors. Her exploration of this place led her to notice there was not a lot of humans living here. She also got to see a lot of these creatures called Pokemons. Some of them had bird-like features, other looked like cats or dogs, mouses, rats, bugs and humans.

“Wow, there is so much...Diversity in this world” she said.

She suddenly heard a help scream coming from the north. She rushed immediately in direction of the scream source and saw a man running from a swarm of giant Wasp-like creatures. Without hesitation, she decided to enter in communication with them and touched one. She could saw in the pokemon memory that the man in question was a scientist who accidentally step on one of their cocoons, which angered them. She then shared with the angry creature positive emotions and was able to calm him. The giant wasp looked at Sunset and told to the others to return home. The swarm disappeared and the man, him, was breathing heavily.

“Are you okay, she asked. Are you hurt or something?”

The man got up and looked at her.

“I am fine, thank you, young woman, said the man. Even if you have decades of experience with the Pokemons, you can always make a mistake. How did you calm this swarm of Beedrills by the way?”

“Hum, Feminine Persuasion?” she answered

“Hum, This species of Pokemon mostly follow their instincts, said the man. They are very aggressive and only berries or honey can calm them. Did you have by chance these items on you?”

“Well, not exactly, she answered. I...”

Mew made a berry appeared in her hand and Sunset showed it to the scientist.

“Oh, these berries are their favorite sort!! Said the man. They love them a lot. I can understand how you calmed them. What is your name, young girl?”

“My name is Sunset...Sunset Shimmer, she answered. I know, this is a strange name...”

“Not at all, said the man. It clearly represent you perfectly. You can call me Professor Oak.”

“Nice to meet you, Professor Oak!” she said.

The professor brought her to his laboratory.

“This place is like my home, he said. I do all my researches here. This is also a home for a lot of pokemons, wild or owned by other trainers who trust me to keep them safe.”

Oak took a strange device and gave it to Sunset.

“This is a Pokedex, he said. This masterpiece of technology contain the information of all the pokemons in the world, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Shinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola and Galar. That include their shiny forms, all the data on mega-evolution, their types and a lot more. I can thank Ash for that....He he!”

“Really? She asked. Wow!!”

The professor showed her how to use it and then held the Pokedex in front of a dragon-like pokemon. A voice suddenly came out of it.

“Charizard, the Flame Pokemon, said the device. He is a Fire and Flying type. This pokemon is the final evolution of Charminder. Charizard’s firebreath is so hot it can reach a temperature beyond 3000°C. This pokemon is also known to be a fierce fighter in battles, making him a companion of choice for the trainers who want to be talented pokemon trainers. This pokemon also possess two different mega-evolution and a Gigantimax form”

“Charizard is originally a pokemon from the Kanto region, said Oak. But its popularity spread worldwide and so, i knew i had to update its description. Same for the rest of them. But lets speak about the reason of your presence here. Why did you came to Pallet Town?”

“Well, i was lost, to be honest and i just entered the first town i saw, she answered. Also, i could be interested to become a pokemon trainer...”

“Well, if you say so, i can help you to start your carrier of trainer, said the Professor. First is to decide which of these 8 region attract you the most?”

“Hum, maybe if you describe them, i could be able to make a choice...” said Sunset.

Oak began to explain the main attractions of each regions. At the end of his explanations, Sunset was attired by 3 regions: Galar, Kalos and Alola. Galar was attractive to her due to it’s technological development, Alola was described as a paradise and Kalos was described as being culturally and socially developed.

“Hum, i think i will go with...Kalos, she said. I don’t know why, but my intuition tell me to go to Kalos...”

“Then, i will contact Sycamore, he said. He is the Pokemon professor of the Kalos region. I will prevent him of you arrival. Hum also, you will need some pokeballs in your adventure.”

The professor gave her a pack of Pokeballs and explained to her how to use them.

“When you will arrive at Kalos, said Oak, go to that address, this is where you will find Sycamore. Now, this is time to go at the airport. Maybe i can help you get here...”

“Hum, thank you, Professor, she said. But you don’t need to do that...”

“And why not?” asked the professor, perplexed.

For answering to his question, Sunset made said goodbye and disappeared instantly from the laboratory

“Did she just...Teleported? Thought Oak. Meh, certainly a psychic pokemon...”

Sunset reappeared in the toilets of the airport. She immediately noticed that she was in the men's toilets when she heard two of them talking near to her. She told to Mew to teleport her in the women toilets. The pokemon laughed and obeyed to her request. Sunset then left the women bathroom and walked in direction of the ticket stand.

”Oh shit! I forget i don’t have money for a ticket, she thought. Hum, i have psychic powers!! Maybe i can persuade someone to buy me one!! No, i can’t do that, this is bad! What else can i do? Selling myself is out of question and i won't steal a ticket neither. Maybe i can ask Mew to teleport me in the plane? But i am sure this is illegal...”

Mew used his powers to made him and Sunset disappear from the airport. They reappeared in the middle of a beautiful place that she immediately thought as being Mew’s home. A lot of toys and various objects were standing around her.

“Why did you bring me here?” asked Sunset to Mew

The pokemon didn't answered, and instead brought back to her a beautiful object. The object was a beautiful gemstone of an incredible size. Mew put it in her hands and smiled to her.

“You...This is so kind of you, Mew, she said. Are you really sure you really want to give this to me? I can find another way to get money who will not be illegal or immoral.”

She saw that her friend was not going to return on his decision and accepted the gift of Mew.

“Thank you, she said. I am so grateful of your gift. But told me, where did you find a gemstone of that size, did you stole it?”

Mew made a negative head sign. He used his psychic powers to share his memories of how he found that gemstone. She learned that it was a gift coming from a person Mew liked a lot. The fact that mew gave to her something so important for him made her cry of emotion. Mew, for answer, cuddled against her face to make her smile. That sign of affection was the official sign of their newborn friendship. So, Sunset and Mew went to a jeweler with the intention of selling it for money. The owner told her that this gem was worth more than the money he possessed. But he made a deal with her and proposed to give her half of is money with 6 items of her choice in his shop. She was attracted by a beautiful necklace with a rainbow colored stone on it.

“Oh, this is a Keystone, said the Jeweler. This gem is one of the 3 things needed in order to use the Mega-Evolution. If you want it, it is yours. The second thing needed to mega-evolve a Pokemon is a Mega-gemstone. Let me gave you 3 of my collection.”

The jeweler gave her 3 Mega-gemstones and told her the name of the pokemons they were destined: One was a Metagrossite, the second was a Gardevoirite and the last was an Alakazamite. The man also give her a Dawn Stone and a Dusk Stone. Sunset took the money and the items and put them in her bag and left the store.

“Well, I am sure these objects will be useful, she said. For the moment, we have a plane to take!!”

The two friends disappeared by teleportation. But they didn’t notice that they were observed by a Pokemon, this pokemon was following them for a while. It was white and Purple with cat and human-like traits with a long tail.

”Hum, I see that you restarted to frequents humans, Mew, said the pokemon. I should maybe keep an eye on you and also on that girl. I feel in her something...different from the others humans of this world, i must learn more about her.”

Then it disappeared at his turn.
> Chapter 3: The New Bounds of Friendship
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunlight was actually playing with his two pokemons. After a few hours of walk, he decided to get some time with his buddies. In that way, he would learn more about their attacks and their personality.

“Hum, Rotom, asked Sunlight, Can you give me the list of attacks this Litten use?”

“Bip, yes!! Answered the Rotom-Dex. There is a pool of potential attacks this pokemon can use. Let’s try them all so you know which attacks Litten possess.”

Sunlight gave a look at the move pool of Litten and began with the first move.

“Litten, use Fire Fangs!!!” said Sunlight to the pokemon

Litten looked at him with a interrogative face. Rotom told him he had to precise what or who he had to use the attack on.

“Oh, right. Litten, use Fire Fang, on this log!!!”

Litten bited the log and totally reduced it to pieces. Sunlight then passed to the next moves, and at the end, he had determined the 4 attacks Litten could use: Growl, Fire Fangs, Ember and Lick. Then, he does the same with Fennekin, which had the 4 following moves: Scratch, Ember, Tackle and Growl.

“Hum, not bad, with these moves, you could actually be able to pull out some wins.” said Rotom-Dex.

Sunlight tried to pet the Litten and this one let him do it. Motisma was surprised by Litten’s attitude.

“Wow, i am surprised to see a Litten letting his trainer cuddle him in such a few matter of time!” he said.

“What do you mean?” asked Sunlight.

“The Pokedex mention that Litten is a pokemon of which the trust and affection is hard to gain, he explained. But they are not all the sames and maybe some of them can be more cuddly than others. No, what is surprising is to see a pokemon who got rejected by it’s last trainer bound so easily with a new one.”

“I didn’t knew that, said Sunlight. I must have fall on a special one!!”

Then, Fennekin also joined Litten, also wanting some affection from his master.

“Oh, you also want to be petted? Said Sunlight. Get here, you little fur ball!!”

While he was cuddling his two pokemons, Rotom started to make noises. Sunlight soon noticed his strange attitude. Litten and Fennekin suddenly started to make agressive noise.

“What are you so upset, you guys?” asked Sunlight.

He got the answer when 3 huge creatures came out of the forest. They were very menacing and looked pretty strong.

“Oh no!! Said Rotom-Dex. We are in trouble!!”

“Why do you say that? Asked Sunlight. And can you tell the names of these creatures?”

“This time, i will be fast, he said. These are 3 Pangoro, they are Dark/Fighting type Pokemons and they are known to being aggressive with those who enter their territory.”

”Hum, thought Sunlight. I could maybe beat the fire out of them, but i don’t want to cause a forest fire.”

Sunlight placed himself in front of his two Pokemons to defend them.

“Hum, does these pokemons have a weakness to exploit, Rotom? What the Pokedex said about them?!”

“They have indeed a weakness, he answered. If the leaf in their mouth is destroyed, these pokemons will lost their energy and fighting spirit. By example, you could use fire on them”

“Fire, you said? Asked Sunlight. Well, i have two pokemons who know Ember”

“Alright!!! do it quick!!!” said Rotom.

“Litten, Fennekin, he said, use Ember on the Pangoro’s leaf.!!”

The two little creatures threw two little ball of flame at 2 of the 3 opponents. The 2 Pangoro which the leaf had been burned immediately became passives. But the one who had not been touched was about to strike Sunlight with a powerful punch. This one used his magic to make Pangoro’s leaf catch fire, and the pokemon also became immobile and depressed.

“This is the moment, said Sunlight. Let’s just get out of here before more of them come!!”

The 2 pokemons and the Mostima-Dex obeyed and followed him. After running for 30 minutes, they took a break.

“Phiew, that was close, said Sunlight. Is everyone okay?”

His pokemons made him affirmative signs. He put them back in their pokeballs and asked Motisma if he was near to the exit. The Pokedex told him they were not even close to get out of that forest.

“Dang it!! Said Sunlight. I have enough of the forest!!! I want so much to burn it to the ground!!”

“Well, said Motisma, that would be a bad, very bad idea. A ton of innocent pokemon live in these woods and they depend of it to survive.”

Sunlight continued to walk, hoping he would soon get out of the forest. Then, he arrived in front of a river.

“Oh great, water...he said. I hate water, especially when cold one.”

“I analyzed the water of this river and found it is clean for consumption” said the Motisma-Dex.

Sunlight withdrew his two pokemons out of their pokeball to let them drink the water.

“Hum, I am surprised that Fire Type pokemons need to drink water, said Sunlight. Shouldn’t it be supposed to kill them?”

“Wrong, said the Motisma-Dex. Water is a vital element for every living beings. Even for Fire type pokemons. Did you not drink water too?”

“Well, Sure!!! Said Sunlight, but generally, i drink water too, and i prefer when it’s hot. I really love tea, hot chocolate, herbal tea. This is my quirk. Also, i am rarely thirsty and that will look weird for you, but i don’t sweat at all.”

“Hum, This is true!! Said Motisma. We walked for hours in this warm forest and you didn’t have a single drop of sweat, How this is possible?”

“This is genetical, said Sunlight. I am a little bit special, if i can say so myself....”

Motisma analyzed Sunlight body with a thermal scanner.

“I detect that your body temperature is abnormaly high for a human, he said. In fact, your body temperature is at nearly 60°C. This is scientifically impossible for an human to be alive with that body temperature.”

“Maybe your scanners are wrong, said Sunlight. I am normal!! Alright, let’s continue our route, i just hope we will get out of the woods before the night.”

Sunlight looked at the river and sighed.

”First, we have to cross this river, he thought. How am i going to do that without awakening more suspicions? Wait, i know!!!”

Sunlight ordered to his Fennekin and Litten to return in their balls, Then asked Motisma if he could lift him to the other side of the river.

“I am not that strong, he answered, And this Water seem cold, Hum, maybe if we could convince a Pokemon of this forest to take us on the other side, Like one with vine whip or strong enough to throw us...These Pangoro could have done the job. Hum, also, if you had a Psychic or Flying type Pokemon, we could reach the other side easily.”

“Screw it, i will try the jump!!” said Sunlight.

“No, the currents are too strong!!” Said Motisma.

Sunlight suddenly sat on the ground and looked at his feet

“Hum, Wait, that’s it!! He said. I totally forgot i had them!!”

Sunlight activated his rocket boots* and started to float in the airs. Motisma was surprised, in a good way.

“Rocket boots? He said. Beep, this is awesome!! Where did you got them?”

“Hum, well, i bought them, and then upgraded them myself” he answered.

Sunlight quickly reached the other side of the river but didn’t land and continued flying above the forest. Motisma was following him too.

“I see a town at the horizon!! Said Sunlight. Let’s go!!!”

He flew in direction of the town, which took him 2 hour to get to. He landed on the ground when he was at 1 kilometer from the city to avoid attention. They walked the rest of the distance and arrived at the entrance of Santalune City. But the night was close and instead of heading to the arena, Sunlight headed to an hostel. He remembered he had is magic purse* on him.

“Hum, do you accept gold bits?” he asked to the owner of the place.

The owner was captivated by these solid gold coins.

“Sure!! He answered. I will easily be able to convert them into money later!! This is for one person?”

“Hum, Does pokemon counts? asked Sunlight. I mean, does your hotel accept them?”

“We only accept little Pokemons and you are responsible for them, if they cause any damage, you’ll have to pay them.”

Sunlight showed his two companions.

“Hum, they are in rule, said the man who was owning the place. Let me show you your chamber!!”

The man showed them a good looking room. The chamber had one bed, a bathroom, a mini-bar, a T.V and a lot of space.

“Do mister would love to eat something?” asked the owner.

“I will take something spicy, with a hot drink. Answered Sunlight. You have spicy meals, right?”

“Then, you will love our famous Inferno Chili, said the man. This is a chili, very spicy and sweet, made with a mix of Tamato, Razz, Spelon, Mago and Nanab Berries, incorporated with our Homemade sauce, quality meat and natural grown beans.”

“Hum, sound tasty...” said Sunlight.

“Are you sure about that? Asked Motisma to him. Two of the berries in this recipe are among the spiciest who exist!”

“I am sure, said Sunlight. I will take this meal!!”

After 30 minutes, the meal he ordered finally came. During that time, He took a shower and fed his pokemons with pokemon food.

“Be careful, this meal is extremely hot, in all the senses of the term, said the waiter. Enjoy your meal!!”

Sunlight took a spoon of the chili and ate it.

“Hum, are you okay, asked Mostisma, seeing that Sunlight had no reaction. I prevented you that it could be too spicy!!”

“This is...the best chili i ever ate of my life!! He answered. It’s sweet little taste match perfectly with it’s spiciness!!”

He gave a little bowl of it to his two pokemons, who immediately jumped on it. Both ate the meal with appetite.

“Well, But don’t forget that the chili is a very fibrous meal, said Motisma. You may expect to have a bad time when you will wake up tomorrow!”

After finishing his meal, Sunlight watched for sometimes the T.V, then went to bed. The next day, he woke up brutally because his intestines were in fire. He went to the bathroom, where he stayed for at least 20 minutes. Motisma was laughing during that time. Sunlight finally exit the bathroom with a satisfied face.

“Don’t say anything, said Sunlight to his Motisma-Dex. Let’s just leave and head to the city Battle Gym...”

Sunlight left the hotel and head to the local arena where he would challenge the Gym Leader.

“Hum, maybe we should plan a battle strategy, said Motisma. Your pokemon may have the advantage, but without coordination and experience of battle, you will probably loose”

“Hum, that is a good idea, he answered. But...Can i nickname you?”

“Sure!! Answered the Pokedex, i can also mimic both male and female voices, depending of your preferences”

“Hum, well, Do you have in your repertory a feminine deep and calm voice?”

“I verify, said the Motisma-Dex. I found a match!!”

The Pokedex rebooted himself in two minutes. Then when he started to talk again, it’s voice had changed to fit the preferences of Sunlight.

“Is this what you wanted?” asked the Motisma-Dex.

“This is perfect, answered Sunlight. Now, i will call you, hum...Cinder 2.0?”

“Hum, i get the fact you love everything that is fire related, But why 2.0?” asked the Pokedex.

“This is the name of a precious companion i had recently, before we got separated...” he answered.

The Motisma-Dex stayed silent for a moment.

“Oh, I should be honored, then, that you consider me like a companion” he said.

“Hum, enough talking, said Sunlight. Now, show me these battle strategy you were talking about!”

“The basics or advanced ones?” asked Cinder 2.0

“Let’s begin with the basic ones” answered Sunlight.

While he was beginning to learn battle strategies, At the Illumis airport, Sunset finally arrived at destination.

“Kalos, There i am!!!” she said out loud.
> Chapter 4: In the heat of the Battle!!!
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the minute Sunset was arrived in Illumis, she immediately headed to Sycamore’s laboratory. Mew was sleeping in her bag and she didn’t want to wake him up. She arrived at the laboratory 15 minutes later and was welcomed by the professor Sycamore itself.

“Oh, You are finally arrived! He said. I was waiting your arrival for a while!”

He led Sunset to the same room he led Sunlight.

“So, you are the Professor Sycamore, she said. My name is Sunset Shimmer.”

“Yes, i am the professor Sycamore, he said. And i am glad to meet you, Sunset. Like the Professor Oak, my work consist to not only study pokemons, but help them. I also help the young kids who want to become trainer by giving them a starter Pokemon.”

“Hum, about that, she said. I am not familiar with elemental types...Do you have any Psychic types pokemon, or i don’t know, Fairy type?”

“Hum, i love your honesty, said the professor. Rare are the beginner trainers who ask for a different type of starter Pokemon. And you are lucky because two months ago, i received from a friend a pair of Ralts, One male and the other Female. They are born from the same parents. The Ralts have the Fairy/Psychic dual type, and they are ideal for someone who begin his trainer carrier and like Psychic types.”

“You really want to give them to me? She said. I am touched!”

The professor showed the 2 little Ralts to Sunset.

“These pokemons are able to detect with their horns the emotions or other beings. If you feel sad, they will try to make you feel happier.”

She immediately fell in love with the cuteness of these little creatures. She put her hand near them in order to flatter them. The pokemon were first scared, and used their magic powers to read in Sunset’s heart. They saw a lot of love in it. So, they finally accepted being petted by her. They immediately bound together and Sycamore gave her pokeballs to catch them. She showed them the balls and let the pokemons make their choice. The two Ralts didn't hesitated and pushed on the button, getting instantly caught.

“Congratulation, said Sycamore, you are now their owner. Allow me to give you a Motisma-Dex and you will be ready to explore Kalos.”

“Hum, i already have one gave by the professor Oak” she said.

She showed him her Pokedex.

“Well, this is not a Motisma-Dex, he said, But it will do the job. Then, i suppose you are ready to start your adventure! You can, like many trainers who begin their trainer carrier, choose to compete in the Pokemon League or if you are less of a fighter and more of an artist, compete in Pokemon Contests”

“Hum, What is the difference between the two?” she asked.

“The Pokemon League is a competition where the best trainers of Kalos are reunited when they collected the 8 badges required, explained Sycamore. They fight each other in succession of rounds and the winner of the Final round will have the honor to challenge the Elite 4 and the Pokemon League champion, all of that for a chance to win the title of Champion of Kalos. The Pokemon Contest are different. Instead of being based on fighting and battle strategies, Contests are more centered on the artistic style. The pokemons and their trainer will be judged on their grace and creativity while they perform on stage.”

“Hum, Both are interesting, she said. I am very competitive and i love a challenge, and a Pokemon League look like a big one. But i also have a great artistic side in me and doing Pokemon Contests seem very attractive...Can i do both?”

“You mean, being a Pokemon Trainer and a Pokemon Artist? Asked Sycamore. Hum, that is possible but it will be difficult on the traveling side.”

“I am not worry about that, she said. I hear some Psychic type pokemons are able to master the teleportation”

“True, But teleportation only work if the Pokemon who use it know the destination place..., said Sycamore. Some of them, though, are skilled enough to locate the destination only by hearing the name or seeing a picture of it.”

“Hum, but what if they use, well, a living being like a sort of tag?” she asked.

“Hum, he answered. They could effectively teleport in a place they never visited if someone they know well happen to be here. But if we come back to your choice, I recommend you to choose only one.”

Sunset thought for a few minutes about it, and once again, followed her instincts.

“Hum, I will be a Pokemon Trainer, she said. I will compete in the Pokemon League!”

“So, if this is your choice, there is a box to put your badges when you will earn them.” said Sycamore.

He gave her the box and 5 minutes later, Sunset left the laboratory. She first went to a Pokemon Center and registered her name for the League. Then, she left the town and began to head in direction of the Santalune’s Gym.

“Hum, interesting, she said. The first Gym Leader is a Bug type specialist. And judging by the list of affinities, the Psychic type is weak to it. That mean i will have to plan a good strategy in order to beat her”

While she was heading to her first destination, Sunlight, on his side, decided to finally challenge the Gym Leader Viola. So, he entered in the Gym, but saw nobody in it.

“Hum, maybe she is absent, he thought, Well, Guess i will pass later...”

“Don’t move, young man!” said a feminine voice.

Sunlight obeyed and heard clicking noise similar to those make by photo cameras. He saw woman with a camera taking many photos from different angles of him.

“A last one and that will be done” said the woman.

She took a last one and then proceeded to present herself.

“I am sorry if i took you by surprise, she said, but your costume is so awesome that i had to take pictures of it!! Beside, my name is Viola, i am a famous Pokemon photographer. I am also the Gym Leader of this city. If you enter in this arena, i suppose this is to challenge me, no?”

“Yes, i am here to win my first badge! He answered. Sycamore told me that you were, hum, habitually the first Gym Leader trainer were challenging, Because you...well”

“Yes, this is true, she said. In fact, you must know that there is no specific order. If you have talent, then i will use powerful pokemons, if you are a beginner, then i will use weaker pokemons. And judging by what i see, you don’t have any badges. So i suppose you are a beginner”

She brought him to the arena where the battle would take place.

“The rules will be like this, she said. I will use only two pokemons, but you can use all of yours for this battle, how many do you have?”

“Two, answered Sunlight. Only two, so that will be a fair battle”

The referee began the countdown and told the rules of the fight. Then he gave the start signal. Viola was the first one to send a pokemon.

“Time to shine, Masquerain!!” said Viola, while sending her Pokemon

“You can do it, Fennekin!! Said Sunlight, also sending his first pokemon. I believe in you!!”

“Oh, a Fire type pokemon!! She said. Your costume should have gave me a good clue of what type you use. Fire type can give you the high ground in this fight, but don’t expect this battle to be easy!! Masquerain, use Water Sport!!!”

The pokemon suddenly threw jet of water in the air, which made the air and the ground humid and damp.

“This attack lower the power of all fire-type moves, she said. Now, Masquerain, use Water Gun!!”

The pokemon threw a powerful beam of water in direction of Fennekin. Sunlight ordered her to dodge the attack, which she did pretty easily.

“Don’t stop, Masquerain, said Viola, continue to use Water Gun!!!”

Sunlight kept ordering his pokemon to dodge, but he knew that he had to make a move. The humidity in the air was beginning to bother him seriously.

“Hum, i planned she would have some defensives tactics against Fire types, he thought. But i have an advantage in this battle and i have to exploit, i only need some times to execute it.”

Viola’s Masquerain was not even slowing the beat if her attacks, and Fennekin was beginning to get exhausted.

“Okay, Fennekin, use scratch!!!” said Sunlight.

The pokemon jumped in the direction of Masquerain, ready to hit her with her claws.

“I was waiting for you to attack directly, said Viola, Masquerain, use Protect!!!”

The pokemon blocked Fennekin’s attack, and made her land on the ground. Sunlight told Fennekin to continue to strike with Scratch until her attacks broke trough Protect. After a few minutes, Masquerain was hurt by the attacks of Fennekin. But it took so long that she hurted herself a lot and was tired.

“Hum, not bad!! She said. But you merely scratched my pokemon, and your look pitiful and exhausted”

The effects of Water Sport suddenly stopped and that surprised Viola.

“What? No way, she though, the effects of my Water Sport already faded? How?”

That was due to the fact that Sunlight’s body temperature was rising inside his costume and decided to remove it, unleashing a lot of heat on the terrain. (He was shirtless by the same occasion, just saying it). The heat didn’t took long before making the water in the air evaporating. Most of it by touching his exposed skin. Viola immediately noticed it too and looked at her challenger, which have just his pants on him.

“I knew he was hot-looking, she thought, charmed by the physique of Sunlight. But i didn’t expect him to be that hot-looking, his body literally just made the humidity disappear...I have to immediately take a photo right now!! A such perfect body must be photographied”

Seeing that Viola was distracted, probably by his charm, Sunlight ordered Fennekin to use Ember, and the attack was boosted by the pokemon special ability: Blaze. The fire attack hit Masquearain, causing the Pokemon to faint in a powerful explosion of flames.

“Masquerain fainted and can’t continue the fight!! Said the referee. The first victory goes to our challenger!!”

Viola, during that time, took a few photos.

“That was worth the shot, she said to herself. You were lucky, if i can say so. You distracted me for a moment, i will admit, but that won’t happen again!! Go, Vivillion!!!”

She sent her second Pokemon, which had the form of a butterfly. Sunlight saw that his Fennekin was exhausted.

“Hey, Fennekin, he said. You did a great job, you can rest for the moment”

But Fennekin refused to give up and made him understand she wanted to continue. The pokemon faced the Vivillion menacingly.

“Told me, before we continue, asked Viola. Are you normal?”

“What, why do you ask that? He answered. I am totally normal...”

“Really, because there is no human hot enough to do what you did, she said. I mean, an human body can’t be that hot!”

“Maybe it’s because my body is so divine...he said on a seductive tone. I mean, look at those muscles, those beautiful pecks and those godly abs. Who wouldn’t melt when seeing this perfect body?”

Viola tried to resist to Sunlight’s charm, but she couldn't. Sunlight decided that was the perfect moment to attack while she was distracted again. (He had no shame to use his body to seduce Viola. Also, that was part of his battle strategy) Fennekin  finished Vivillion with an overpowered Ember.

“Vivillion fainted, The last pokemon of Viola defeated, said the referee, the final victory come to our challenger, Sunlight Blaze!!”

“Good job, Fennekin, and thank you for the idea of using my body in this fight, Cinder 2.0!!” he said to both of them.

“And i am glad you listened!!” said the Motisma-Dex.

Viola got out of her trance and realized she lost the battle. She returned Vivillion in her pokeball with a little smile

“Meh, I can work with that, she thought. This is not everyday i challenge hot trainers, that was a fun moment!”

She walked to Sunlight.

“That was a very...Hum...Interesting battle, she said to him. Your strategy was unexpected but very effective, i will admit.”

“He he he, he said. You are not pissed by that strategy?”

“Nah, just a little bit ashamed, she said. I feel like you cheated a bit. But, i will give you the badge if you accept to let me take some photos of you.”

“Hum, what are you going to do with them?” he asked.

“That, this is not of your concerns, she said. I promise, though, that i will not publish them without your permission.”

“Hum, why not, he said. Where should i pose?”

Viola brought him inside the Gym and put him in front of a beach background. She took many photos with a smile on her face. She changed the background a lot of time. Then, after 25 minutes, she was done with the photos.

“I’m done, now, she said. I am proud and glad to give you the Bug Badge, symbol of your victory in Santalune’s Battle Gym! And thank you for the pictures, she said. Do i have a way to join you if your pictures have success?”

“You can call me via Cinder 2.0, he answered. This is the name of my Motisma-Dex.”

Sunlight and Viola proceeded to get each other numbers. When that was done, Sunlight put on his costume and went to a Pokemon Center to heal is Fennekin. That took a few moments, but the nurse Joy came back with his fully recovered Fennekin.

“Your pokemon have completely recovered for his exhaustion, she said. I hope that was not too long”

“Nah, i am just happy to see my little Fennekin healed, he said. Thank you, nurse Joy!!”

“That was a pleasure!!” she said.

So, in possession of his first badge, Sunlight was now ready to get another one, but before, he decided to make some shopping.
> Chapter 5: Preparating for a battle
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset was walking for a while in the forest. Sure, she could have used Mew’s teleport to directly head to Santalune and challenge the Gym Leader immediately, but she felt like that would be too easy. So she had the intention of grinding her two Ralts by defeating wild pokemons, and if she was lucky, capture one or two Psychic type Pokemons to add to her team. She had  already defeated a lot of wild pokemons, so many that both of the Ralts were exhausted and needed rest. 

“Phiew, i am feeling bad for beating all those poor wild pokemons, she thought. But i am sure they will be okay after a few hours.”

Sunset felt suddenly thirsty and looked for a water source. She explored for a moment the surroundings and found one. The only problem was it was kept by 3 menacing pokemons, All panda-like. She noticed that they were looking apathic, almost depressed.

”Why are these 3 creatures so depressed? she thought. If only i could touch them, i would be able to know what happened.”

She walked slowly in the direction of the 3 pokemons. These ones saw her, but didn’t gave a fuck about it. Sunset came close enough of one and touched his arm. She saw him and his 2 buddies attacking a group of two little pokemons, a Motisma-Dex and a man with a familiar costume and voice. She heard what the Motisma-Dex said about the fact that these leaf in their mouth were so important for them that if they lose it, they would become depressed. She stopped reading his memories.

“How, you are sad because you lost your lucky leaf, she said. Hum, let me see if the Pokedex have more to say about them.”

She read on the Pokedex that Pangoro’s lucky leaf, if lost, can only be replaced by a new one of a particular bamboo species. 

”Where can i found one of these bamboo leaves? she thought. Hum, the Pokedex can certainly told me where i can find some.”

She searched for the location of the spot and found that she was just at 3 kilometers in direction of the East. She remembered passing there and so, asked Mew to teleport them at this place. She disappeared, and reappeared in the middle of the Bamboo plantations. She picked 3 leafs that she put in her pocket. Mew brought her back in front of the group of Pangoro’s and gave each of them a leaf. The 3 pokemons immediately recovered their energy and looked at Sunset.

“Oh, crap!! what i was thinking?!” she said.

But the 3 Pangoro just ran away, which didn’t bothered Sunset at all. She decided to drink some water of the river. Then, one of the Pangoro’s came back with something in his hands. He gave it to Sunset and smiled, then left her alone definitively. Sunset looked at the object and saw that was something shiny and looking like a Mega-Gem. She used her Pokedex once again to got info on that stone and learned that was a Galladite, which she kept in her bag. 

”Awesome, she thought. But that man i saw when i read Pangoro’s memories was so familiar, this costume, i’ve seen it somewhere before. That voice also sounded familiar...No, could that be him?”

She was feeling excited at the idea that her brother was also trapped in that world.

”The fire, that voice, no doubt, she said. This is Sunlight for sure!! I can’t believe he is also in this world, in the same region than me, i have to find him!! But where? I need to calm down and focus on catching one more pokemon for the Gym battle...”

She passed 2 hours to search for a Psychic or Fairy type pokemon in the woods. But she didn’t find any and began to think she should directly head to Santalune right now. But at the moment she was giving up, she saw a strange yellow pokemon not far from her. She scanned it with her Pokedex and learned that the creature was an Abra, a Psychic type pokemon. Sunset decided to walk slowly in his direction and ordered Mew to help her for his capture.

“Mew, i will need your help to capture him, she said mentally to him. Can you do that for me?”

The pokemon answered by teleporting in front of Abra and then began to sympathize with him. The two pokemons had a talk and the Abra looked in the direction of Sunset. She deduced that Mew mentioned her name to him, then Mew took one of Sunset’s empty Pokeball and showed it to Abra. The little pokemon looked once again at Sunset and teleported in her hands, to next return in front of Mew and the Pokeball. At her surprise, Abra touched it and let himself get caught. Sunset took the pokeball and put it in her bag. 

“Now, all i have to do is a little bit more grinding and we will be finally ready for the Gym Battle!!!” she said.

Meanwhile, on the way to the next city, Sunlight also decided to challenge wild pokemons to grind the level of his team. The 5 hours he passed to do so were worth it. Not only his Litten evolved into a Torracat and his Fennekin into a Braixen, he also caught two new pokemons: a Vulpix and a Houndour. Which he had time to train a little. But now, Sunlight was arrived to a place called the Battle Chateau. 

“Finally, a place where me and my pokemons will be able to rest! he said. This place look like a medieval castle, i am sure this is a chic place to sleep.”

But when he entered, he saw a lot of trainers fighting against each other in Pokemon battles. Then, he is stopped by a man dressed elegantly.

“Hum, welcome to the Battle Chateau” he said to Sunlight.

“Battle...Chateau? asked Sunlight. Oh great...”

The man explained to the young trainer everything about the Battle Chateau.

“Hum, I can certainly do a couple of fight, he said, question of grinding the level of my Houndour and my vulpix.”

“If you are interested to battle, follow me” said the old man

Sunlight arrived in a place where many other trainers were talking or petting their Pokemons.

“Any new trainers who fight for the first time at the Battle Chateau are reunited in this room, said the man. To earn the title of Baron, you have to beat at least one of the trainer in this room in a Pokemon battle.”

The man let Sunlight alone with the others in the room. Many other trainers were looking at him, more especially, his costume. One of them, a girl, talked to him.

“Hey, this is a nice costume you have, she said. I love the hero-like style of it! Where did you find it?”

“Hum, Well, i made it myself, he answered, knowing that was not totally a lie. The style of my costume is based effectively on those of the modern era superheroes.”

“Oh, cool! she said. And what about the colors for your costume?” 

“Well, i love these colors, they are representative of me, he said. I choose these shades of colors because i like fire a lot. I can even say it is my soul element.”

While he was speaking with the girl, The owner of the place told them they will soon begin to battle. After a speech, the man called the 6 trainers who would fight in 3 differents arenas and Sunlight was one of them. He found himself against a young kid who was intimidated by Sunlight’s costume. 

“This battle will be one vs one, said the referee. Each trainer can only use one Pokemon!! The battle will finish when one of the two pokemons will faint!! Are you ready? send your pokemon!!”

“Alright!! said the young kid. i choose you, Skarmory!!!” 

“A Steel type, uh? said Sunlight. Well, in that case, i send you, Braixen!!”

“Don’t let him attack, said the young trainer, Skarmory, use Air Slash” 

“Braixen, use Flamethrower!!!” said Sunlight.

The fire attack entered in contact with the air blades, destroying them and hurting the Skarmory. Sunlight was surprised to see the opponent pokemon still flying in the airs. 

“Finish him, said Sunlight. Use Flamethrower again!!!” 

Braixen obeyed and stroke the poor Skarmory with the attack. The flying pokemon fell on the ground, K.O. 

“No!! Skarmory!!” said the young kid.

“Skarmory fainted and can’t continue the fight, said the referee, the victory go to Sunlight Blaze!!”

Sunlight returned Braixen in her pokeball and hold the hand of the young trainer in symbol of respect.

“You are no joke!! said the kid. With that talent, you could easily reach the top!!”

“This is the type advantage who made the difference in this battle, said Sunlight. But you put a good challenge, continue like that and you too, could reach the top.”

Sunset, on her side, finally arrived to Santalune. Her first decision was to head directly to the local Gym Leader arena. By asking to people, she easily found her way. She entered in the building and yelled:

“I am here to challenge the Gym Leader!!”

“You don’t have to shout that loud, you know, said a woman voice. I am Viola, the Gym Leader you want to challenge”

“Nice to meet you, said Sunset. I am Sunset Shimmer!”

“Now that we are presented, let’s begin the battle!!” said Viola. 

She quickly explained to Sunset the rules of the battle, then the referee did the same when the two were in the arena.

“I hope you are ready” said Viola.

“I am, answered Sunset. For my first Pokemon, i send you, Ralts!!”

“Hum, a Psychic type? said Viola, You do know that the Bug type is super effective on them”

“I know, she answered. But i have trained a lot before challenging you!”

“In that case, I send you, Masquerain!! said the Gym Leader. Use Signal Beam!!”

The Masquerain sent a beam of light in direction of the Ralts, who was not fast enough to dodge it. But thank to his fairy type, he resisted.

“That attack was fast, thought Sunset. I need to focus on the offensive!!”

Tarsal got up and looked at Sunset.

“Hum, wait until she attack” she said to him.

Viola ordered to her pokemon to use Signal Beam another time on Tarsal.

“Now!! use Double Team!!” said Sunset.

Ralts created a dozen of copies of itself and avoided the attack.

“Hum, good use of this move, said Viola. A pokemon using Double Team make him harder to hit. But you need to attack if you want to win!! Masquerain, use Air Slash multiple times!!” 

The pokemon began to destroy Ralts’ clones quickly and Sunset knew she had to react fast. 

“Use Teleport!! said Sunset. And then, Confusion!!” 

The Ralts disappeared and reappeared behind the Masquerain and used Confusion to bring the pokemon down. Masquerain got up but was confused.

“He is confused!!” said Sunset.

Viola’s pokemon hurted itself against the walls and the branches of the nearby trees. Ralts used that advantage to spam Confusion and put K.O the Masquerain. 

“Masquerain is not able to fight anymore, said the referee. The first victory goes to our challenger!!!” 

Sunset's Ralts felt suddenly weird and started to glow in a shiny blue light.

“What is happening!?” asked Sunset.

“Look like your Ralts is evolving!” said Viola

Ralts finished to evolve, he had tripled of size his look changed a lot. Sunset took her Pokedex and analyzed her pokemon. Ralts evolved into a Kirlia and judging by the Pokedex description, had acquired more power and versatility. Meanwhile, Viola sent her second Pokemon, Vivillion.

“Okay, you can do it, Kirlia, said Sunset. I believe in you!!!”

Suddenly, one of Sunset’s item in her bag appeared near Kirlia. That was the Dawn Stone she received from the jeweler. She immediately suspected Mew, and when she was near to reprimand him, she saw Kirlia touching the stone. The same blue light appeared around him.

“What? said Sunset. Kirlia is evolving again?” 

“No way, said Viola, I heard some Pokemons evolve by using special stones!”

“Really? asked Sunset. The man who gave this stone to me told me that it was a Dawn Stone.”

“A Dawn Stone, you said? asked Viola. So that mean...”

Kirlia finished his evolution and revealed his final form.

“Awesome! said Viola. Your Kirlia evolved into a Gallade.”

“A Gallade? she said. I thought that Gardevoir was it’s final evolution.”

“Naturally, yes, answered the Gym Leader. Every Kirlia, female or male, can evolve into a Gardevoir with enough training. But what is amazing about Kirlia is if he is a male, you can evolve it into a Gallade by using a Dawn Stone.”

“Cool, i need to learn what he can do!!” said Sunset.

She used her Pokedex and analyzed Gallade. She learned that he was now a Psychic/Fighting type. Gallade, on his side, put away half of his old moves and decided to learn 2 totally new ones fitting with his style. He forced Sunset to touch his head so she could also acknowledge his new moveset. Then, she made a research on the 2 moves he learned.

“Wow, this moveset is awesome!! She said. Time to put them at the test!! Use Night Slash on Vivillion!!”

Gallade, fast as the lighting, made his arms glow dark and used them to strike Vivillion, which was thrown onto the ground.

“Wow, he is so fast!! said Viola. Quick, Vivillion, use Air Slash!!”

The pokemon hit Gallade with the attack, which sent him away.

“Great, said Viola, Now, use whirlwind!!”

“Are you okay, Gallade?” asked Sunset. 

Her pokemon got up and showed to his master he was okay

“Good, use your arms and plant them into the ground!!” said Sunset.

Gallade obeyed and planted his arms into the ground. 

“Go, Vivillion!! said Viola. Use Air Slash and Whirlwind consecutively!!”

Vivillion obeyed to Viola and spammed the two attacks repetitively on Gallade, which made him suffering a lot. But with the encouragements of Sunset, he was resisting. 

“This is enough, Gallade, said Sunset. This is time to end her Pokemon! Use Teleport and Night Slash!!”

Gallade disappeared to instantly reappear behind Vivillion and stroke him with Night Slash. The attack was so powerful that the butterfly-like pokemon was projected against the walls of the arena. 

“Vivillion is not able to continue the fight!! said the referee. The second and final victory goes to the challenger Sunset Shimmer!!”

Gallade fainted a short moments later and after congratulating him, Sunset returned him in his pokeball and so did Viola. She walked in direction of Sunset and gave her the Bug Badge.

“You are very talented, Sunset, she said. You are the second trainer today to challenge me and pull out a victory. Now, i have to prepare myself for the Battle Chateau.”

Viola left the arena and Sunset brought her Gallade to a Pokemon Center. One hour later, when her pokemon was fully healed, she decided to eat at a restaurant because she was hungry. When she was full, she made some shopping and then left the city. 

”Oh no!! she though, i forgot to ask Viola if she saw Sunlight recently!! Wait, she told me she was heading to the Battle Chateau!! I can ask her here!”

Sunset looked on her Pokedex and selected the region map. 

“Ha, there it is, she said. This is not too late!! Mew, Teleport me here!!”

Mew was sleeping in her bag. 

”Oh, you must be kidding me right now, she thought. Well, guess i will have to walk...”

So, with her team, Sunset headed in direction of the Battle Chateau. Meanwhile, Sunlight had won his 10 victories and earned the title of Viscount. He also got the attention of Grant, the Gym Leader he would have to challenge next, which told him he would be waiting for Sunlight at Cyllage. So, he left the place and walked for another couple of hours, to stop when he saw the dusk coming. He was already installing his camp for the night. Sunset was also in the same situation than him, with the hope that she would finally found her brother tomorrow.
> Chapter 6: Happy reunion
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Sunset was finally arrived at the Battle Chateau. At the moment she entered, she was welcome by an old man who told her the rules and mechanics of the Battle Chateau.

"Hum, I will accept to compete in at least a couple of these battles, said Sunset. But in exchange, i want to know if someone called Sunlight Blaze passed here, he is wearing a orange outfit, a white cape and a mask. Did you saw him recently?"

"Yes, indeed, said the old man. Why that question? Do you know him?"

"Hum, he is kinda my brother, she said. He left the home without even telling me about it and that is pissing me."

"Oh, this is a funny story" said the old man.

Sunset was thinking she should touch the man to read his memories, but didn't want to be awkward.

"We effectively received the visit of your brother, said the man. He left yesterday after earning the title of Viscount."

"FUUUUCKKK!!!, she said. Did he told you where he was going next?" 

"No, i am just charged to greet and welcome the newcomers, said the man. But i know someone who might know the answer to your question. If you can win 10 battles in a row, i am sure the person i told you about might be interested to see you."

"10 in a row...,she thought, i can't waste my time!! The more time i will spend here, the further Sunlight will get from me."

"Uh, Milady?" asked the man.

"Sorry, she answered. I can't battle today! I have to find my brother immediately!!"

She left the Battle Chateau and ran away. she ran for a moment before she had to stop to take her breath.

"Think Sunset, think!! she thought. You know Sunlight passed at the Battle Chateau and left it yesterday. If i was him, where would i go next, i am sure he challenged Viola, so he must be heading for a second Gym."

She searched for the nearest city with a Gym Leader and fall on Cyllage. 

"Bingo!! she said. There is great chances that Sunlight must be heading there. I need to get to Cyllage City before him, so i could intercept him. Mew, can you sent me there?"

She showed the image of the City Gym to Mew, then the pokemon used teleport. Sunset reappeared at the top of a tall building.

"Mew!!! she said. Why did you send me on the top of this building?"

The pokemon laughed.

"Well, at least, i can see something looking like a Battle Gym at the horizon!! she said. Mew, please teleport us near to the Gym, on the ground."

Mew obeyed and teleported Sunset once again, this time near of the Gym. She read on a board at the entrance: Cyllage City Gym» and then another one with: «Only the bests will be able to jump the Wall»

"Hum, what does that mean?" she thought, while entering the arena.

Once inside, she saw a lot of climbing walls. 

"Oh, this is what the message at the entrance was meaning by wall" she said.

"Yes, but no..." said the voice of a man beside her. 

Sunset turned her head and saw a man wearing climbing equipment. 

"Hum, Do you know where i can find the Gym Leader in here?" she asked

"No need, you have the Gym Leader in front of you, said the man. I am Grant, the champion of Cyllage City's Gym."

"I am here to challenge you..." she said.

Grant saw that Sunset had a Keystone on her.

"Well, the arena is on the top of this cliff, he said, pointing the highest spot in the Gym. In order to challenge me, you need to get on the top. You can climb the wall to the top, or take the elevator just at the right, your choice. I will challenge you whether you chose one or another, so, no pressure."

"Or..." she said, making her and him disappeared and reappeared at the top of the cliff. 

Grant was surprised and Sunset smiled.

"I am a Psychic type specialist, she said. All of my pokemons know teleport."

"Interesting, Psychic Types vs Rock Types, that battle will be interesting." said the Gym Champion.

The referee arrived and announced the rules of the battle, Grant would only use 2 Pokemons, while Sunset could use all of hers. 

"Let the battle begin!!!" said the Referee.

"Alright, said Grant. I choose you, Tyrunt!!!" 

A dinosaur like pokemon appeared in front of her. The creature had the look of a T-Rex and was looking menacing.

"Hum, i choose you, Ralts!!" she said.

"A fairy type, uh? he said. That mean i will not be able to use Draco-Meteor in this battle. Whatever, Tyrunt, use Iron Tail!!!" 

The dinosaur's tail became silver and shiny and he charged in direction of the Ralts with it.

"Use Teleport!!" said Sunset.

Ralts obeyed and disappeared in time to avoid the attack.

"Teleport will be a big problem in this fight, thought Grant. I need to counter it if i want to touch her pokemons"

"Alright, now use Double Team!!!" she shouted.

Ralts multiplied itself and surrounded the Tyrunt. 

"Alright, now use Confusion!!" said Sunset.

"Jump!!!" said Grant

The pokemon jumped high in the sky and avoided Ralts attack.

"What the..., she said. How can this pokemon jump so high?"

"Now, use all you weight and use Stomp on the ground!!"

Tyrunt landed on the ground violenty and the impact created a shock wave and a lot of sand to hit all the Ralts clones. who disappeared immediately. Sunset was surprised and Grant used that moment to strike.

"Now, no mercy, he said. Use Iron Tail!!"

The Tyrunt hit this time Ralts, who is sent against a wall behind Sunset.

"Ralts!! she said. No!!"

But at her surprise, Ralts was still conscious. The Pokemon started to glow and evolved in a spectacle of blue shiny lights.

"Kir...Lia!!" said the Pokemon.

"You finally evolved!!! she said. Awesome!!"

"Well, that is surprising, said Grant, but the fight is not over!! charge, Tyrunt!! Use Iron Tail once again!!!

Tyrunt ran in Kirlia's direction, ready to strike her with his glowing tail. Kirlia stopped the Pokemon by glowing and sending explosive light shards on him.

"What? said Grant. Tyrunt!!" 

"What was this attack?" asked Sunset. 

"Dazzling Gleam..., said Grant. Tyrunt, don't let her use this attack again!! Use Iron Head!!!"

"Use Teleport, Kirlia, said Sunset. And then, use Dazzling Gleam!!"

"Heck no, said Grant. Not this time!!"

Kirlia disappeared for a moment and reappeared above the pokemon.

"Jump!!! said Grant. And strike her with Iron Head!!!"

The Tyrunt jumped in the sky.

"Use Dazzling Gleam!!!" she said.

Kirlia obeyed and used the move on Tyrunt, damaging him badly. But she got hit by Tyrunt's Iron Head attack and get sent high in the air. The two Pokemons fell on the ground a few moment later, K.O. Sunset and Grant were both shocked.

"Double K.O!!! said the referee. Tyrunt and Kirlia are not able to fight anymore!!"

"Great job, Tyrunt." said Grant, while returning his pokemon in his pokeball.

"I am proud of you, Kirlia, said Sunset. You can rest now..."

"You are very strong, i have to admit, said Grant. But do you think you can beat the next obstacle? Go, Aerodactyl!!!"

"Another dinosaur-like Pokemon? asked Sunset. You must really love them..."

"I love two things, he said. Rock climbing and Fossil Pokemons."

"Nice, she answered. Uh..I mean...I send you, Gallade!!!" 

"Hum, she have a Keystone and a Pokemon able to Mega-Evolve, said Grant. If she will do what i think she will, then..."

Grant removed something from his pocket, Sunset recognized it as a Keystone. She then looked at Aerodactyl and saw around his neck a necklace with a Mega-Gem.

"Now, time to show you i am not messing around!! he said. Aerodactyl, Mega-evolve!!!"

The pokemon glew in a rainbow light and his body changed of form, spikes appeared on his wings and beak and after 10 second, Mega-Aerodactyl revealed itself to Sunset.

Mew teleported the Galladite in the hands of Gallade. Then Gallade looked at Sunset with determination and at her Keystone. Sunset immediately knew what Gallade had in mind. She touched her Keystone and like with the Keystone of Grant, hers glew and connected with the Galladite hold by Gallade. 

"Can our mind and our hearts make one, she said. Gallade, Mega-Evolve!!!"

Gallade began to transform and like Aerodactyl, he changed of form. The transformation was a little slow, but the result was amazing. Mega Gallade revealed itself, he was different. Swords had appeared on his arms and a elegant cape had also appeared on his back. He was looking like a knight ready to strike the enemy.

"That worked, she said. But i thought 3 element were necessary in order to use the Mega-Evolution."

"This is true, said Grant. You need a Keystone, the Mega Gem of the pokemon you want to make Mega-Evolve and finally to have a strong bound with the Pokemon. If you have these 3 requirements, then you can use it. Now, let's battle"

Sunset smiled and looked at Gallade with determination and this one did the same. Grant attacked first.

"Go, Mega-Aerodactyl!! he said. Use Rock Tomb!!!"

The pokemon created rocks from nothing and threw them at Gallade. 	t	he Pokemon cut trough them with multiple Leaf Blade attacks.

"He is not affected by the attack!? thought Grant. Rock Tomb usually make my opponent hesitate to attack because it is so sudden and unpredictable. Her Mega-Gallade must possess an ability making him immune against fear."

"Your doing great, Gallade, said Sunset. Use Night Slash!!!"

Gallade jumped in direction of Aerodactyl to strike him with the attack.

"Counter with Dragon Claws!!!" said Grant

Aerodactyl blocked Gallade's attack and sent him back on the ground. Sunset told Gallade to repeat the attack, but Grant was countering each time with Dragon Claws. 

"Use Leaf Blade!!" she said.

"Counter with Iron Wings!!" he said.

Aerodactyl's Iron Wings blocked Gallade's Leaf Blade and sent him once again away. Sunset was beginning to rage and Grant was smiling.

"What do you think about my Mega-Aerodactyl ability? he asked. He have Though Claws, which greatly boost the power of his physical attacks. Now, time to finish this. Aerodactyl, use Aerial Ace!!!"

The attack hit Gallade violently, sending him colliding against one of the walls. Sunset ran in his direction.

"Gallade!! she said. Please, tell me you are okay!!"

"Finish him with Dragon Claws!!" said Grant. 

Sunset put herself in front of Gallade to protect him. 

"Aerodactyl, Stop!!" said Grant, when he saw Sunset protecting Gallade.

But the pokemon didn't listen him and was about to strike with Dragon Claws

"Oh no!!!" said grant

Gallade, touched by the action of his master, woke up and teleported himself and Sunset out of the way. Gallade reappeared with her behind Aerodactyl and threw at him a powerful Psycho Cut. The pokemon is hit by the multiple blades of psychic energy and crashed against the same wall than Gallade. Before Aerodactyl had the time to attack, he finished him with another Psycho Cut. Aerodactyl returned to his base form and fell on the ground, K.O

"Aerodactyl is not able to battle anymore, The final Victory goes to the Challenger, Sunset Shimmer, and her Pokemon!!"

Grant sent back his pokemon while Gallade returned to his base form. The Gym Leader walked in her direction and gave her the Cliff Badge. He also apologized for the attitude of his Aerodactyl and the fact she could have been killed. Then Sunset revealed to Grant that using the Mega-Evolution on Aerodactyl was painful for him, so much that made him lose his mind and attack everything in his way.

"If only i knew that..., said the Gym Leader. Thank you for telling me this information, Sunset Shimmer. I promise i will be more careful with his Mega-evolution, and the next time we will see each other, things will be different"

Then, on these words, Sunset left the arena and brought her pokemons to the Pokemon Center. Then, while they were recovering, Sunset was waiting.

Meanwhile, Sunlight, on his side, was nearly arrived at Cyllage City. 

"Phiew, that cave was a nightmare, he said. These Zubats were a pain in the but...He he...At least, i didn't travel it for nothing."

Sunlight, during the exploration of the cave, had defeated so much Zubats that he made his Houdour evolved into a Houndoom, his Braixen into a Delphox and his Torracat into an Incineroar. Only Vulpix didn't evolved yet, Sunlight didn't know why, but Cinder 2.0 revealed him the reason. He needed a Fire Stone to make her evolve. But now, he was walking and after 15 minutes, arrived in the city. His first tough was to visit a shop selling stones and found one. He entered in it and asked the woman owning the place if she had a Fire Stone.

"Sure, we have Fire Stones, Leaf Stones, Water Stones, Thunder Stones, and even Keystones and Mega Gems." she answered.

Sunlight remembered that Sycamore said something about the Mega-Evolution and what was required to trigger one. He  searched on his Motisma-Dex which Pokemons were able to Mega-Evolve and discovered he had one in his team: Houndoom.

"I will buy one Fire Stone, he said. But told me, How much Cost this Keystone?"

"50 000 Yens" she answered.

"And among your Mega-Gems, do you have one for a Houndoom?"

"Unfortunately, not in this town, she said. But i heard a woman named Malva possess a Mega-Houndoom. I am sure she can help you get an Houndoomite. There is an image of what she look like."

The woman showed him the photo of Malva. 

"In that case, i will bought this Fire Stone and this Keystone."

"That will be 53000 yens in total" she said. 

Sunlight put in front of the woman a pile of gold coins.

"You accept gold, no?" he asked.

The woman was impressed by the number of bits in front of her.

"I heard that gold was worth a fortune here, am i right?"

"Yes, she answered. I forgot to said that for one Keystone bought, you can get one Mega-Gem of your choice with it"

"Hum, i will take, that one in the middle!" he said, following his instincts

"This Mega-Gem is a Charizardite X, she said. Are you sure of your choice?"

"Sure, said Sunlight. Thank you!!"

"Have a good day!!" she said.

Sunlight immediately gave the Fire Stone to Vulpix. When she touched it, she began to evolve. After 20 seconds, Vulpix had evolved into a Ninetales. Now with 4 fully evolved Pokemons on his team, Sunlight was sure that the second badge would be a piece of cake. 

"Before challenging Grant, he thought, i have to heal my pokemons, their trip in that cave was painful for them and they need it."

So, Sunlight walked to the Pokemon Center and entered at the same moment Sunset was leaving it. They bumped into each other and when they saw each other, the world stopped around them.

"Sunlight?" said Sunset.

"Sunset?" said Sunlight.
> Chapter 7: Sunlight Vs Grant: An overheated battle
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours had passed since Sunset and Sunlight reunited. They were silent for a long time, but Sunset broke the ice and hugged him. Then, they discussed about what happened to them since they were in this world. Sunset told him about her encounter with Mew, Professor Oak, Professor Sycamore, how she got her Keystone and the Mega-Gems, The Pangoro's, her battle against Viola and then Grant. Sunlight him, told her about his encounter with Professor Sycamore, how he got the Motisma-Dex, The battle with the Pangoro's, him friending Litten and Fennekin, then catching later an Houndour and a Vulpix, his battle against Viola and at the Battle Chateau, then how he acquired his Keystone and a Mega-Gem. After they summarized everything, they decided to go eating at a restaurant cause Sunset was hungry. 

"Let me pay, said Sunlight. I insist."

"No, i will pay!" she said. 

They argued for a long time about that, but this is Sunset who won the argument battle. They ordered their meal and waited to be served.

"Hum, tell me, Sunlight, said Sunset, do you think we are the only two from our world in here?"

"You mean if one of our friends also got in this world? he answered. This is possible, but i am going to bet that no."

"We don't even know how we landed here, she said. Do you have an idea?"

"Well, we seem to have appeared at the same time, but at different place, he answered. I remember that i wished the night before i woke in this world to live a great adventure. In some way, i suppose my wish had been granted."

"Then, what about me? she asked. I don't remember wishing to be teleported from my home to a totally new place."

Sunlight remembered beside the fact he wished for a great adventure, he also had wished to have Sunset coming with him. That was his fault if Sunset landed here with him, but decided to not tell her now.

"Hum, he said, maybe you were thinking, i don't know, to something concerning me?"

Sunset stayed silent and looked somewhere else, embarrassed. Yes, she effectively had a thought for Sunlight, each night since she met him. 

"Hum, yes, i have a thought for you each night before closing my eyes, she answered. I know this is weird..."

"What? Why? he asked. There is no shame to have a thought for his family before going to bed. I have myself a thought for you and my parents each night."

Sunset didn't want to admit that she had an obsession with him. She realized it when Sunlight was gone for 2 days, which had been hard for her emotionally. She wanted so much a brother in her life and finally got one. And then the thought he would disappear, go away from her and never came back was her worst fear. She loved her brother more than everyone else and didn't want him to leave her. But luckily, their meal finally arrived, breaking this awkward silence. They ate silently and after they finished, Sunset paid the bill and the two left the place. Sunlight next went to the Pokemon Center to heal is Pokemons and Sunset came with him, realizing she let her pokemons here too. 2 more hours later, Sunlight decided to challenge Grant before the dusk and headed to the arena. Sunset told him that she would encourage him during the battle. So, when Sunlight entered the arena, he was greeted by Grant.

"Hey, you are finally arrived!! he said. And i see you are back too, Sunset"

"I am just here to support my brother during his battle" she said. 

Grant told Sunlight whether he prefered to climb a wall to the top, where the arena was, or take the elevator. Not being a pussy, Sunlight chose climbing and challenging Grant to the top. The Gym Leader was the first on the top, followed by Sunlight, who was only 4 seconds behind him. Then, the referee explained the rules and gave the signal of the battle.

"Let's the battle begin!!!" he said.

"Alright, said Grant. For my first pokemon, i send you, Onyx!!!"

Sunset was surprised he didn't sent Tyrunt instead.

"Hum, said Sunlight. Make me proud, Incineroar!!!"

"Wow, i never saw that pokemon before, said Grant. I hope he will surprise me. Onyx, use Sandstorm!!!"

Onyx summoned a strong wind followed by sand and dust. Sunlight, protected by his costume and mask, was not affected but his Incineroar was.

"Sandstorm have the advantage of increasing the special defense of Rock types pokemons, said Grant. Plus, that will cause problems for your pokemons. Now, Onyx, Use Rock Blast!"

Onyx began to shoot big rock balls to Incineroar.

"Hum, Dodge them, Incineroar!!" said Sunlight.

Incineroar succeeded to avoid some of them, but one hit him. He groaned of pain, but took the blow.

"Sandstorm is very problematic, said Sunlight. I see where Onyx is, but my Incineroar won't be able to touch him. I need to find a way to counter this storm, if only i could change the weather...That's right!!"

Grant still ordered Onyx to use Rock Blast on Incineroar, who was not able to avoid all of them. 

"Come back, Incineroar!! said Sunlight. I hope this Pokemon will do the job...Ninetails, go!!!"

Sunlight sent the pokemon on the terrain.

"Use Sunny Day" he said to his pokemon.

Ninetails made the sandstorm disappeared and replaced it by a harsh light.

"You are not the only one with a Weather changing move, said Sunlight. Ninetails, use Will-O-Wisp!!"

The pokemon sent on Onyx ghost flames who burned him on contact. 

"Oh no, Onyx!! said Grant. End this battle quickly!! Use Rock Tomb!!!"

Onyx summoned boulders that he threw at Ninetails. 

"Hum, avoid them!! said Sunlight. And then, use Flamethrower!!"

Ninetails avoided with grace the attacks and used her move on Onyx, causing a powerful explosion.

"With Sunny Day, thought Grant, Fire type moves are more powerful. If i decide to use Sandstorm, he will just have to use Sunny Day to counter it. I need to strike with precision..."

"Perfect, said Sunlight, Now, use Solar Beam!!!"

"Oh no!! said Grant. Quick, Onyx!! use Stone Edge!!!" 

Onyx unleashed a series of rock blades on Ninetails, and this one released Solar beam at the same time. Both attacks hit each of the Pokemon and put them K.O in a big explosion. Sunset, watching the fight, was pumped up by emotion and fear.

"Double K.O!! said the referee. Ninetails and Onyx are not able to fight anymore!!!"

"I see you have some talents! said Grant. That Sunny Day and Solar Beam combo was very bright of you. If that was not for that, my Onyx wouldn't have fainted. But this is time to show you my second pokemon...Go, Aerodactyl!!"

He sent Aerodactyl on the terrain. Sunset immediately had flashbacks of her battle against him with Gallade.

"Hum, alright, i send you, Incineroar!! said Sunlight. Show him what you are made of!!!"

Incineroar reappeared on the terrain and looked at the Aerodactyl, who was high above Grant.

"Aerodactyl!! use Air Slash!! said the Gym Leader!"

"Don't fear it, Incineroar, said Sunlight. Get closer of him and strike with a Cross Chop!!!" 

Incineroar broke trough Air Slash and jumped in the sky near Aerodactyl. He delivered two powerful hit of his palm. The pokemon is sent against the ground. 

"Use Air Slash again!!" said Grant to his pokemon.

Aerodactyl got up and threw air blades at Incineroar.

"You can take them Incineroar!!" said Sunlight. 

The pokemon let the air blades hit him.

"Now, Aerodactyl, use Dragon Claws!!" said Grant.

"Neat, he fell for it, said Sunlight. Incineroar, use Revenge!!!"

Incineroar wait for Aerodactyle to be close enough, then delivered a powerful punch who sent the flying pokemon right back at the wall behind Grant.

"Now, Let's finish this with a Flamethrower!!!" said Sunlight.

The attack stroke Aerodactyle and caused an explosion. When the smoke dissipated, Grant saw that his pokemon was still conscious. Sunset and Sunlight were both surprised. Grant was hesitating to use the Mega-Evolution, judging that Aerodactyl was already in pain and didn't want him to suffer more. Aerodactyl tried to get up and fly, but was too weak. Sunlight judged that was time to deliver a last attack. Sunset realized that Grant could have used the Mega-Evolution, but didn't do it by respect for Aerodactyl. He was waiting for the final blow.

"Use Darkest Lariat!!!" said Sunlight

Incineroar grabbed Aerodactyl and made him swirl around him, then threw it away violently against the ground. The dust got away and Grant saw that Aerodactyl was K.O.

"Aerodactyl is not able to fight anymore!! said the referee. The final Victory goes to the challenger Sunlight Blaze and his Incineroar!!"

Grant apologized to Aerodactyl to let him took the attack, telling him that he wouldn't make him suffer more with the Mega-Evolution.

"I hope you understand..." he said. 

Grant returned his Aerodactyl in his pokeball and walked to Sunlight.

"Congratulation, he said. You defeated me, and earned the Cliff Badge."

Grant gave the badge to him and both shook their hands. Sunlight decided to head at the Pokemon Center. Before Sunset followed him, she stayed a moment with Grant.

"I know that before Sunlight delivered the final blow, you could have used the Mega-Evolution, said Sunset. Why you didn't?"

"Hum, It would just have made Aerodactyl suffer more, he answered, and the issue of the fight was inevitable."

"No, it was not, she said. You could have won the battle with Mega-Aerodactyl hands down, but you instead chose his welfare and that cost you the victory. That was very kind of you"

"This is thank to you, he said. If you didn't told me how much the Mega-Evolution was painful for him, i would have just made him suffer and suffer more. Now, if you excuse me, i have to close the arena for the night, and Viola is waiting me for a date."

"A date? asked Sunset. You and her are...together?"

"Well, kinda, he said. We are so different for each other and i think this is why we could be a great couple in the future."

Grant left the arena and Sunset a few moments after him. She ran to the Pokemon Center to retrieve Sunlight, who was waiting on a bench. She waited with him until the nurse Joy told them that Ninetails and Incineroar were totally healed. He thanked her and left the place.

"So, where do we go next?" asked Sunset, following him.

"We?" said Sunlight. 

"Yes, WE, she answered. There is no way you go anywhere without me!! You really want me to be at the mercy of dangerous pokemons or criminals?"

Sunlight gave her a skeptical look.

"What? she said. You would continue your way without me? How can you think about that!! You told me you will never leave me alone..."

Sunlight sighed.

"Yes, i do, he said. If i was saying that, this is because we both want to compete at the Pokemon League. That make us rivals... And two rivals can't be together on an adventure, they need to go on their own sides"

"We are not rivals, we are siblings, she said. Can't you just understand that i need you? i need to talk with someone...Not you?"

"I have Cinder 2.0, he answered. Beside, i know you need me, i can understand that. But you need to get rid of this fear you have to lose me."

Sunset was in a mix of anger and sadness right now. He was right in one way, that her dependence to him, her need to be with him all the time was a problem. Without any of her friends, staying alone in this world was terrifying.

"Don't make that face, said Sunlight. I know you don't want to be separated from me after retrieving me."

"Stop lying, said Sunset. Admit it, you prefer the action and the adventure over me!! Why?"

That phrase was like a low blow for Sunlight. 

"I sure love action and always dreamed living adventures, he said. An adventure like that is the chance of a life, and that will probably be the only one i will live. I also love you, Sunset, i care for you and you are as important in my heart that any quest of epic adventure."

"What will you do after this adventure end? she asked. Go on another one? Sure, an adventure like that is awesome and this is an unique experience, this is why i want to live it with you!!"

Sunlight was silent and was hesitating. He was fearing that if they went on this journey together, some tensions could blow between them, and ruining their relations. But he also wanted to be with her too, he felt that was his duty to do so. He was her lifeline, her guide, the only member of her family who was alive. But then, he had an idea that could advantage both her and him.

"Fine, you won, said Sunlight. You can come with me"

Sunset immediately smiled of joy and hugged him.

"Really? I knew you won't let me down!! she said. Wait, is this some kind of trap?"

"You want to travel with me, yes or no?" asked Sunlight, to avoid Sunset suspecting his plan.

"Yes, i want!! she said. But you are not the kind of guy who gave up so easily, why did you change of opinion so quickly?"

Her face was near to Sunlight's one. She was staring at him with suspicious eyes and Sunlight was feeling intimidated. 

"I begin to think that was a bad idea to accept your company, he said. If you keep acting like that during all the journey, i rather prefer to travel alone."

Sunset removed her face from his face but still looked at him suspiciously.

"I am sorry, she said. This is just because you are so stubborn habitually..."

"I am just trying a new method of communication, he said. I have to act differently and accept to follow the choice of another. I am just hoping that you won't make me regret it."

"You can be sure i won't!! said Sunset. I already imagine all the things we will do together on our journey!!"

Sunlight suddenly had some doubts about the meaning of that. He couldn't avoid thinking about her exploiting him to do her chores, using him as an human shield or worst, and that was scaring him. On her side, Sunset was smiling,  thinking about Sunlight cooking for her, protecting her the night and the day, like a brave knight, cuddling her when she was sad, laugh together at bad jokes and other silly things she wanted to do with him. 

"Yes, i imagine, he answered. I imagine very well..."

Then they left Cyllage to head in direction of the next city on their way, walking side by sides.
> Chapter 8: The duo is reunited
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunlight and Sunset had been walking for sometimes, and the night would soon arrive and force them to camp. So, while Sunlight had been installing the tents, Sunset decided to bring some wood for a campfire.

“Are you done soon with our tents, Sunlight?” asked Sunset.

“Almost, he answered. Your tent is just a nightmare to install!!”

“Come on!! She said. This is not that hard!! Alright, let me handle it...”

She got up and helped Sunlight to install her tent, then the two sat around the fire and talked.

“Hey, Sunlight, she said. Do you think we will be able to return home one day?”

“Well, i don’t know, he answered. To be able to return home, we would have to open a spatial rift to our dimension. But i am sure there is no enough powerful being in this universe to do that.”

“I am not giving up the idea, she said. Beside, What will we do after the Pokemon League?”

“Probably continuing the adventure, answered Sunlight. Who know, we could discover a way to get home. Even if that mean releasing our pokemons...”

“I am not getting rid of my pokemons, said Sunset. I am sure they will survive in our world.”

“Think about it, said Sunlight. They will maybe be accepted in Equestria. But if you plan to bring them in it's human world counterpart, who know how people will react. I mean, these creatures are literally monsters, and you know how people react to monsters”

“Yes, they will suffer if we bring them in our world, she said. But i can’t deal with the idea to leave them. They will have their heart broken...”

“Let’s talk about something else, said Sunlight. We are far away for this moment, maybe we will never get out of here, but at least, we will be trapped together if that happen.”

Sunset looked at him with emotion and turned her head to not showing him she was blushing.

“And about our friends? She said. I won’t lie by telling you that i miss them...They are probably panicking right now, searching for us, wondering where we are...I just hope i will see them again.”

“This is if we are able to get out of this world. Said Sunlight. For the moment, we have to be strong and think about other things”

“Can i ask you a slightly sensitive question?” asked Sunset.

“That depend of your definition of «Sensitive»” he said.

“With your charm and your personality, she said. You are very popular wherever you go, but i noticed that you didn’t give any importance to it. What i am saying is that you have everything for you, that you could have any girl if you wanted too, but you don’t seem to be interested in love, Why?”

“I just consider true love like a fairy tale, he answered. Love is not eternal, it can make you suffer, take stupid decisions or endanger the others around you. Love cause jealousy, jealousy cause madness and madness lead to do bad things to the ones you love. I love you, Sunset, but the love i have for you is simply a fraternal love, this is the only form of love i tolerate and accept.”

“Love is not just bad, she said. It bring wonderful things in your life!! It gave people the power to overcome fear, anger, sadness and hatred!”

“I don’t need more love, he said. The love of a family member, your love, is enough for me.”

“Really? everyone need other form of love than fraternal or maternal love, said Sunset. You need someone else in your life, someone except one of my friends, of course.”

“I need no one, said Sunlight. You talk about the fact i need a love interest in my life, but what about you? I acknowledged that you dated Flash Sentry for a while and broke up. And since, you never tried to find another man or give him a second chance. Why?”

“Because i realized that between me and Flash, that would not work, she answered. He is a cool guy, but him and me are too different, plus, i am bisexual, you know what that word mean, right?”

“Hum, yeah, i have followed Sex-ed classes like almost everyone, he answered. You are telling me that you appreciate having a love relation with a man but also with a women...But that don’t explain why you don’t make effort to find another love interest. Take Trixie, by example, you and her seem to get along very well.”

“There is nothing more than friendship between me and Trixie, she said. She is not attracted by girls, i think...I am not sure...Let’s just talk about other things, this conversation is so embarrassing...”

“Hey, this is you who bring the subject first, said Sunlight. Beside, you are right, our emotional life is private and we should just avoid talking about it. Hum, let's just look at the stars”

“If you insist, she answered. They are beautiful”

Sunlight was napping. Sunset woke him up

“Hey, i am hungry, said Sunset. Not you?”

“Don’t you have something edible in your bags? Said Sunlight, irritated. Because i am not cooking anything tonight...”

“Why?” she asked.

“Because i am not your servant, he answered. Neither your slave. I will cook when i will feel the need to!”

Sunset made a grumpy face and ate some snack bars from her bag.

”Stupid Sunlight, she thought. He is so independent and incredibly stubborn, that piss my off. But i can’t hate him for that. This is just so sad that the reality will strike him one day.”

“First step in my plan completed, thought Sunlight in the same time. Make sure that Sunset acknowledge that she can't control me. Second step, boost her autonomy by forcing her to decide and take the lead.”

Sunset got up and walked in direction of her tent. Sunlight absorbed the flames and heat of the campfire to extinguish it.

“Goodnight, Sunset” said Sunlight, hugging her.

“Yeah, goodnight too, she said, still grumpy after him. Pray that i don’t die of hunger this night.”

“Don’t play the culpability card with me, said Sunlight. I will do a lot of thing for you, you know it. But there is a lot of thing you can do and don’t need me for. I hope you understand.”

Sunset entered in her tent and prepare her sleeping bag. Mew, got out of her bag and helped her. She stripped off her vest, jeans and T-shirt to put a cozy pajama. On his side, Sunlight removed his costume to sleep shirtless. Revealing his workout routine. Then he fell quickly asleep, but Sunset didn’t and was still awake, laying in her sleeping bag.

“How many days i will hold in this world? She thought. I maybe should have continued my way alone. If only the guy i am trapped with was not my brother. When you finally have the cutest and most perfect guy enter in your life but it turn out to be your long lost older brother, ugh, fuck you, life. I swear if we got back home, i will find a love interest.”

The next day, Sunlight woke up first and the first thing he did was to put his suit on. Then, he packed his sleeping bag and headed to the campfire to start preparing the breakfast. Mew got out of Sunset’s tent and landed on Sunlight’s head. Sunlight took a little moment to cuddle him. Then he prepared the meals of his pokemons.

“Can you wake up Sunset? The breakfast will be served soon! He said.

Mew teleported Sunset in front of Sunlight and laughed. Sunset fell on the ground and woke up.

“What, where am i?” she said, drowsy.

“I prepared the breakfast, he said. You should eat before Mew gobble up everything”

“Hum, you made pancakes, she said. I love pancakes.”

She took 4 of them.

“I am sorry for yesterday night, she said. You were not forced to travel with me and my attitude was not cool.”

“That’s fine, he said. I can be mad at you, but not for long. Beside, that will be the last meal i will prepare for you”

Sunset spilled out her food.

“What?!” she said.

“I know that you know how to cook, so for the next weeks, you will prepare the meals” he said.

“I am not as talented as you, you know, she said. Sure, i can cook, but my talent is limited to very simple recipes.”

“Then i will help you to improve your skill, and many other skills you seriously lack of” said Sunlight.

“What do you mean? She asked. Are you saying that i would be nothing without you? You are wrong!!”

“This is not what i mean, he answered. I will protect you when you will need my help, but you also need to do the same for me. You lack of self confidence and autonomy. Remember that i may won’t be able to protect you every time. You will, if that situation happen, need to protect yourself. I heard you stood up against many enemies before i appeared in your life, you need to become that person again”

“I know, but i passed most of my life lonely, she said. And that was the most horrible moments of my life. Then, i finally opened my heart to the Friendship and my life changed. Having friends around, caring for me, brought light in my heart and my life became so much better. Since, i am afraid to lose them, and fall again in the pit of darkness the solitude his. Same for you, When you are with me, i feel in security, and without my friends around, you are the only thing i can hold up on.”

Sunlight suddenly felt sympathy for her, understanding now how much her friends and family was important for her. But he also felt sad for her, because if she depended only on the others to protect her, she would not survive the real world. Sunlight’s parents taught him this lesson, to be independent because one day or another, he would be let to himself.

“You need to stand up for yourself, he said. You need to believe in yourself!! You need to become confident again and to act on your own!!”

“I won’t be able to do it alone...” she said.

“In that case, said Sunlight, I will teach you how to be like me, And when i will have finished with you, you will be as confident as i am. Nothing will stop you!!”

Sunset smiled at him and felt her heart warming. Then, after they finished their breakfast, they began to pack on their stuff and got back on the road.

“If we still walking at this cadence, said Sunlight, we should arrive at Shalour City in less than 2 days.”

“So, who is going to challenge her first, asked Sunset. Me or you?”

“Hum, we will decide of that when we will be there” he answered.

They continued to walk for hours, talking about any subject they could think of. But they are soon stopped by someone yelling help.

“I heard someone calling for help, said Sunset. Where does that come from?”

Sunlight ran in the direction of the scream, which was coming from the East, followed by Sunset Shimmer. Sunlight arrived at the place and saw a young boy who was surrounded by menacing men with terrifying costumes.

“Alright, give us back what you took from us and we will let you live” said one of them

“Never, said the boy, I won’t give it back!!”

“Then, we will take it by force” said another men.

“Hey, you, said Sunlight. Let this little boy alone!! Take on someone of your caliber!”

Sunlight sent Houndoom, Ninetails, Incineroar and Delphox. Sunset, her sent Gallade and Kirlia. The criminals look at them with horrified faces.

“You are not so though now, uh? said Sunset. We will give you two choice. Or you surrender and let us bring you at a police station, or you change of carrier and never stole pokemons again.”

The 5 criminals looked at each other and decided to attack. They sent their pokemons who were respectively a Garbordor. a Croagunk, a Muk, a Tentacruel and a Ariados.

“You are kidding right? Said their leader. We are the Toxic Terrors, we won’t let random trainers arrest us...Ariados, use Sticky Web!!”

“Use Flamethrower, Ninetails, said Sunlight. Burn that web and this pokemon!!”

The flame burned the web and hit Ariados, who fainted. The other members of the group passed to the attack.

“Gallade, said Sunset, Use Psycho cut on all of them!!”

Gallade threw multiple blades of Psychic energy who stroke the Poison type pokemons.

“It’ super effective!!” she said¸.

“Incineroar, use Darkest Lariat on Garbordor, said Sunlight. Delphox, use Psychic on Tentacruel and you two, Ninetails and Houndoom, use Flamethrower on Muk!!”

Each of Sunlight’s pokemons threw their attacks on the bad guys pokemons which put them K.O.

“What, no!! This is impossible!! Said the chief of the gang. Let’s retreat!!”

“Oh, Heck no!! Said Sunset. Mew, please teleport them in this police office i saw at Lumiose City!”

Mew obeyed and teleported the 5 criminals in the middle of the police office, where they were arrested quickly. Then, A message appeared after, which was saying: «These pieces of trash were in our way, so me and my friend picked up the garbage for you, Hope you enjoy the gifts!!». But back at Sunset and Sunlight, they had returned their pokemons in their pokeballs and were about to leave.

“Hey, thank you!! Said the young boy. You two saved me!! Who are you? You look pretty strong!!”

“This is nothing, said Sunlight. We are just humble trainers who have justice at heart.”

“Cool!! You are some kind of heroes? He asked. Awesome!! I want to be like you two, when i will be older!!”

The kid saw Mew floating above Sunset’s head.

“Wow, is this Mew? Asked the young boy. My mother said that peoples who have the chance to see him one day are incredibly lucky!!”

Mew came close of the boy and landed on his head, making him laugh.

“I have so much luck, he said. Let me reward you, i insist.”

The boy gave to Sunlight the egg he was hiding in his bag.

“I picked that egg from their lair, said the boy. These guys are criminals who steal pokemons and eggs who have potential  and sell them to evil organizations. I didn’t want this egg to serve as a weapon of destruction, so, i give it to you. I know that in your hands, it will be in security.”

Then he gave to Sunset a strange shiny crystal with a symbol on it.

“I don’t know what does that thing, said the boy, but the guy who gave it to me told me it had a connection with Mew.”

Cinder 2.0 (the Motisma-Dex) suddenly showed up and analyzed the crystal.

“No way!!! Said the talking pokedex. This is a Z-crystal!! And not any Z-crystal, this thing is a Mewnium Z!! This crystal, if put on a Z-Bracelet, can change Mew’s Psychic in a special Z-Move called Genesis Supernova!!”

“Really? Said Sunlight. Very nice...Not only she can already use the Mega-Evolution, but she also now got a Z-crystal made specially for Mew? You must be kidding me...”

“Where can i find a Z-Bracelet?” she asked.

“In a region called Alola” answered the Motisma-Dex.

“Goodbye, said the boy. And thank you!!”

“Thank you to you, answered Sunset. But can i ask you to not told anyone we saved you and arrested five criminals?”

“I promise” said the young boy.

The duo left the boy and continued their way. Sunlight was holding the egg in his hand, using his magic powers to heat it. Sunset her, showed the Mewnium Z to Mew.

“I am very lucky, she said to Sunlight. What are the odds of first become a friend of Mew and then receive a magic crystal specially made for him from a random kid met in the middle of nowhere?”

“If you want my opinion, said Sunlight. I think someone might just favor you. Who, i don’t know, but i am sure this kind of coincidence is not due to chance, like if someone had control of our life.”

“You think someone wanted this to happen? She asked. Don’t be ridiculous, this is not like if we were just two fictional characters at the mercy of the imagination of some creepy fan who have a crush for me”

“Nah, you are right, that would be ridiculous, said Sunlight. We are real persons!! I just hope to get as much luck as you got”
> Chapter 9: The new member of the Team Blaze
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset Shimmer and Sunlight Blaze were almost arrived to Shalour. During the time they walked, Sunlight asked Cinder 2.0 information on the Gym Leader of this city, Korrina. The Motisma-Dex told him that Korrina was a Fighting Type specialist and used a Mega-Lucario. Sunset was hyped because she had a Mega-Gallade, who had the advantage against him. But Sunlight, him, was not so hyped. Now, they were midway to the town.

“That have been 1 whole day since i got that egg, said Sunlight. I think it is about to hatch, i feel the pokemon inside moving.”

“I wonder what sort of pokemon you'll got, said Sunset. Beside, we still have another day of walk before arriving at Shalour City.”

They decided to stop and took a little time to rest.

“Alright, said Sunlight. We will take a pause of 15 minutes, then continue to walk.”

“15 minutes?! She said. I know you have a good shape, but not me, i am not a sporty girl”

“Really, but you look so thin, said Sunlight. If you don’t make sport, how do you keep that silhouette?”

“Hum, this is funny, she said. But actually, i never gain weight of my life, i don’t know why...But told me, how did you get that physique of athlete?”

“One of the advantages to be bound with magic closely, he answered. Is that my body is so hot that any excess of fat in it burn, I can say i am almost born with that beautiful body. But being my sister, you maybe share that similarity with me, i know you are somehow bounded with fire too, not like me, but a little bit.”

“What about your shape?” asked Sunset.

“That must be because i don’t sweat or lost body heat, he said. Sweating is something your body does when he is too hot and need to evacuate the excess of heat.”

“So, you absorb heat instead of evacuating it, said Sunset. If i get it, the more heat you produce the more energy you will have.”

“You’ve got it right, said Sunlight. In fact, if we are both trapped in a desert, i am probably the only one who will still stay fresh and good, he he he!”

“You are not funny, Sunlight, she said. Beside, we can both have a connection with the fire, but for a reason, i am more of a Psychic than a Pyromancer, why?”

“Maybe our parents are the reason we got these powers, answered Sunlight. Maybe they were not like the other ponies, maybe one of our parent was not even a pony...”

“You think our parents weren't like us? She said. That they had the same powers than we have now?”

“Maybe, said Sunlight. I am not sure if i am totally a pony or in this case, a human”

“We really need to know more about our parents, said Sunset. Who they were, why they abandoned us...”

“Maybe we will get some answers one day, he said. For the moment, we have to focus on other things, let’s get back on the road, Sunset.”

Sunlight got up and began to walk, Sunset, tired, asked Gallade to lift her so she wouldn't have to walk. She made a grin to Sunlight and then pull out the tongue.

“Hum, you know what, said Sunlight, this is actually a good idea!”

Sunlight sent Incineroar out of his Pokeball and this one took him in his arm. The pokemon didn’t say anything about it. Sunlight got near Sunset but instead of doing a grin, he did to her a middle finger.

“You think you are better because you have a fastest mount than me? Said Sunset. Don’t take it bad, Gallade...”

“Not only faster, but also more convenient and cozy, he answered. I mean, how long before Gallade’s arm will be tired?”

Gallade stared at Sunlight and said something to him in pokemon language.

“Hum, Cinder 2.0, asked Sunlight. Can you translate what he said?”

Incineroar talked back to Gallade, visibly pissed off by what he said.

“Gallade said: «Don’t underestimate me, stupid human», said the Pokedex. And then Incineroar said: «Don’t call my Master a stupid human, you goofy looking clown»”

“Gallade, Ga! Gallade!!” said Gallade. (English translation of Motisma-Dex: How did you call me, pussycat?!”)

“Inci!! Incineroar!! Roar!! Inci!! Incineroar!!” answered Incineroar. (Translation: A stupid clown, and i am not a pussycat. I can take you down easily if i want too!!)

Gallade dropped Sunset on the ground brutally and rushed in direction of Incineroar. This one also dropped Sunlight, like a potato bag and waited for him. Incineroar grabbed Gallade when he got close enough and threw him in the air, jumped and grabbed him again to finally threw him on the ground. Gallade got up and continued to punch Incineroar, who countered each of the punches threw at him. Before the situation got worse, Sunlight and Sunset placed themselves in front of their pokemons.

“Stop!!” they both said.

The two pokemons stopped fighting and looked at their trainers.

“Me and Sunset were just joking, said Sunlight. We were just picking fun at each other like siblings do.”

“This is true, said Sunset. That was just a friendly discussion between us. We are sorry if you took it personally...”

“Now, Incineroar, excuse yourself to Gallade for calling him an idiot and a clown, said Sunlight. And also for beating him”

Incineroar refused first to obey.

“Incineroar.” said Sunlight with a more severe tone.

The pokemon made what Cinder 2.0 translate like being apologies to Gallade.

“I am proud of you, said Sunlight. I know this is hard to forgive someone when we have a big ego, but you did it.”

“Now, Gallade, said Sunset. Excuse yourself to Incineroar for insulting him, and i don’t want to hear a «but»!”

Gallade, less egocentric, apologized to Incineroar without Sunset having to repeat herself.

“Now, said the two siblings, make a handshake...”

That was very hard for them to do that, but didn't have the choice and did it.

“Perfect, now, let’s continue to walk, said Sunlight. Hum?”

Sunlight’s egg began to crack up.

“Oh, the egg is hatching!! Said Sunset.Wait, Already?”

“That must be because we walked non stop for more than 12 hours, he said. And also because of my high body temperature.”

The egg continued to hatch and after 1 long minute, a little lizard like pokemon broke the shell, revealing itself.

“Wow, who is that Pokemon?” asked Sunlight.

“This is a Charmander, said Motisma-Dex. One of the 3 starter pokemons from Kanto a trainer can choose. This one is a Fire type.”

“Aren’t the Charmanders not orange habitually? Asked Sunset. Because this one is a little bit too...yellow.”

“Hum, this is a Charmander, answered Motisma. If i consult my data, this Charmander happen to be a Shiny pokemon, this is a very very rare abnormally that affect only a very very little number of pokemons of a particular species.”

“How rare we are talking about?” said Sunlight.

“So rare that you have more chance to get hit by an asteroid than encountering one of them in the wild, answered Motisma. Now, for the chances of getting one from an egg, they are even lower. You really have luck, Master!”

“If they are so rare, that must mean they have more power than the other who are not shiny” said Sunset.

“Not at all, said Cinder 2.0. Shiny pokemons are not more powerful, but their rarity is so high that they worth hundreds of  millions on the Black Market. Having one with you is sure to make you very popular and draw a lot of attention from collectors”

“Take this, Sunset, said Sunlight. You may have a Legendary Pokemon, can use the Mega-Evolution and have a special crystal for Mew, but i have a Shiny pokemon, Nah!!! And if i am right, Charmander evolve into Charmeleon and then into a Charizard, right?”

“Indeed, said Cinder 2.0. Why are you asking?”

“Because i have on me a Charizardite, he answered. I wonder how a Shiny Mega Charizard would look like...Well, guess i will discover it when Charmander will reach his final stage of evolution...”

Sunlight took the baby pokemon in his arms and cuddled him.

“Hi, little one” he said.

The Charmander laughed and smiled at Sunlight.

“Char!!” he said.

“I will be your father for now on, said the hero. I will take care of you....”

Charminder looked at him with a trusty smile. Then started to cry.

“Oh no!! He must be hungry!!! Said Motisma. Do one of you have baby pokemon food?”

Sunset and Sunlight looked in their bag quickly.

“Fuck!! Said Sunset, we don’t have any baby pokemon food!!”

Mew got out of Sunset’s backpack and disappeared.

“Mew? Where are you going?” asked the girl.

Mew came back a few moments later with baby pokemon food for Fire type Pokemons.

“Where did you find them? Asked Sunlight. Did you stole them?”

“Mew” said the pokemon, laughing.

“Mew said he took some of your gold to buy it, answered Motisma. He also had the idea of taking a bottle with it.”

“Hum, this food is liquid, said Sunset. Sure, Why we don't give him milk instead?”

“Charminder is a Fire type, said Motisma. And like most of the Fire types, he don’t love water and water based liquids.”

“Hum, so what do they drink?” asked Sunset.

“Tamato berry mash, answered Cinder 2.0. Or, basically any spicy berries mash.”

Sunlight took the bottle and filled it with the spicy berry juice, then gave it to Charmander. The baby sucked at the bottle and drank all of the liquid. That gave him enough energy to stand on his legs.

“Look like this Tamato Berry juice have make its effect, said Motisma. Soon, your Charmander will be able to eat solid food, due to the fact their teeth grow fast.”

“How long?” asked Sunlight.

“Around 1 week, answered his Pokedex. But fortunately for you, that juice you gave him will be enough to make him last one day. This thing is very concentrated, you know...”

Sunlight took the Charmander in his arm.

“Let me present you to my friends” said Sunlight.

He sent out all of his pokemons, Sunset did the same with hers.

“Charminder, i present you Incineroar, Houndoom, Delphox and Ninetails, he said. And you, i present the new member of the family, Charminder.”

The first contact happened to be fine. Sunlight’s team quickly accepted the newcomer in their team. Then, Sunset presented herself to him.

“Hi, Charmander, she said. My name is Sunset Shimmer and i am the sister of your father. Wait, that make me an aunt, no? Whatever, i am glad to meet you.”

She touched his head and petted him. The baby pokemon loved it and held her hand in his tiny paws.

“He is so cute!!! she said. Now, meet my team. Gallade, Abra, Kirlia and Mew.”

Abra and Mew got along with the baby quickly, Kirlia had more difficulty, but also got along with him. Gallade, him, stayed silent and at good distance but made a welcome sign to Charmander, like if that was his way to greet him. Sunlight then asked Motisma if he could catch it now, and this one told him that yes, he could. So, Sunlight presented a pokeball to the baby and explained to him that in this way, they will never get separated. Charminder accepted and touched the pokeball, who absorbed him inside. After 3 or 4 movement, it stopped and made a little cling.

“Good, he said. Now that this is done, let’s continue to walk.”

Him and Sunset began to walk again, getting closer and closer from their next objective. But away from them, at the top of a tree, The same pokemon that was looking on Sunset sooner, was actually spying them. He heard everything from their discussion.

”Good, now, i have the certitude that they are not from this world, said the mysterious pokemon. But i need more information and for that, i will continue to spy on them.”

Then, the mysterious entity disappeared like a shadow.
> Chapter 10: Intense battle against Korrina.
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunlight and Sunset were arrived since a few minutes at Shalour City. The first thing they did when they entered in the town was first, to heal their pokemons. When this was done, Sunlight told his sister that he will be making some courses, and Sunset, her, decided to wait until her pokemons were healed. While Sunlight was walking in the town, he stopped suddenly at a shop and entered in. He is welcomed by a nice woman who greeted him cordially.

“Welcome to my shop, she said. My specialty is jewelry, what bring you here today, young man?”

“Hum, i have this Keystone and this Mega-gem, i want to personalize them.” he answered.

“Hum, i think i can do that, she said. First, let’s begin with your Keystone. Do you know in which accessory you want it?”

“Yes, i would love to inlay the Keystone in my mask, right above the two eyes spots, he answered. Can you do that?”

“This is easy, she said. And for your Mega-gem?”

“I want this one on a necklace.” he answered.

“That will take me a few hours in order to finish to personalize your gems, she said. So, come back a little bit later...”

“For payment, asked Sunlight. Do you accept gold?”

“Hum, pure gold?” she asked.

“The purest you can find, said Sunlight. Look at one of these gold doubloons, i offer you 20 for the three”

The woman was captivated by the gold coins and smile. She analyzed them to see if they were pure.

“This is premium quality gold, she said to him. That will be enough...”

“Alright, then, he said. I will come back later in the afternoon!!”

Sunlight left the shop and headed in direction of the Pokemon Center. He waited a few hours with Sunset and then, the nurse Joy gave them back their pokemons.

“That took 2 hours, said Sunset, but now, we are ready to challenge Korrina. The question is, who is going to challenge her first?”

“You will, said Sunlight, i have other stuff to do, just say to her that she will have another challenger after you, coming for her.”

“Where are you going?” she asked.

“Oh, make some shopping, he said. I’ll see you after your match, good luck!!”

Sunlight walked away from the Pokemon Center while Sunset was heading in direction of the Gym Leader’s arena. But the problem was that the arena was on a little island near to the city. She didn’t wait and used her teleportation to pass on the other side easily. But then, she is welcomed by a young woman with a sport suit and rollerblades.

“Hey, you!! She said to Sunset. You are not supposed to be here before the sunset!! How did you get here, anyway?!”

“Well, i heard your arena was at that place, right?” asked Sunset.

“Yes and no, she answered. This place is effectively an arena, but...”

She saw at the neck of Sunset a Keystone.

”A Keystone? She thought, Does that mean she can use the Mega-Evolution too?”

“So, if i can only came here at the sunset, said Sunset, then i will come back later...”

“No!! That will be fine this time, answered the woman. My name is Korrina, i am the Gym Leader of this town!”

“Oh, so you are the Gym Leader! Said Sunset. Nice to meet you, my name is Sunset Shimmer and i am here to challenge you for the Rumble Badge!”

“Oh, alrighty then, said Korrina. Do you have a Pokemon who can Mega-evolve, by chance?”

“Oh, yes, answered Sunset. Why asking?”

“I have one too!! and who is that pokemon?” asked Korrina

“Hum, a Gallade, said Sunset” sending out her Gallade.

“Gallade is partially a Fighting type, said the Gym Leader, like my Lucario. I feel like this battle gonna be great!!”

Korrina brought Sunset in her personal arena.

“Habitually, she said, i make 3 vs 3 battle. But this time, that will be different. One vs one, your Mega-Gallade Vs my Mega-Lucario, are you alright with that?”

“Sure, answered Sunset. This is good for me!!”

Then, the referee announced the rules of the battle and after a countdown, he gave the signal. Korrina sent out her trusty Lucario while Sunset sent out her fearless Gallade. The 2 pokemons stared at each other with a smirk.

“Alright, don’t hold back, Sunset, said the Gym Leader. Because i won’t hold back either. Connect your heart and mind with me and let's our souls be one!! Lucario, Mega-Evolve!!!”

Her pokemon started to transform, wrapped by a rainbow light. Then, the symbol of the Mega-Evolution appeared in front  Lucario, revealing his Mega-form.

“My turn, now..., said Sunset. Gallade, listen to me, i need your force and you courage, let me make one with you!! Gallade, Mega-Evolve!!”

Gallade started to Mega-evolve and like with Lucario, he changed of form and was shining. After he finished to transform, he revealed his Mega-form.

“Wow, this is the first time i see a Mega Gallade of my eyes, said Korrina. My grandfather talked to me so much about how they were brave and powerful!! This is a worthy opponent for you Lucario, so give everything!!”

Lucario and Gallade stared at each other with ferocity.

“Alright, Gallade, said Sunset. Begin with Sword Dance!!”

“You too, Lucario, use Sword Dance!!”

The two pokemons started to charge their attack power. Meanwhile, on Sunlight side, he had made a few purchase in the different shops of the town. Then he headed in direction of the Jewelry store to see if the woman had finished.

“Oh, i was waiting for a couple of minutes for you, she said. I am glad to announce you that i have finished crafting”

She gave him the Mask with the Keystone embed in it and the necklace with the Charizardite on it.  Sunlight thanked her and went out of the shop.

“Well, now, let’s see if Sunset is done with her battle.”

In the arena, Mega-Gallade and Mega-Lucario are fighting brutally and aggressively. They were exchanging lot of blows and were moving fast.

“Gallade!! Said Sunset. Use Psycho Cut!!!”

“Avoid them, Lucario, and use Shadow Claws!!” said Korrina.

The fight continued in that way, both attacking and dodging at some moments. Korrina and Sunset began to feel tired and same for their Pokemons.

“Give everything in this attack, Lucario, Use Shadow Claws with all your power!!!”

“Gallade, do the same, said Sunset. Use Brick Break with all your energy and strike Lucario!!”

Gallade and Lucario charged their attack and ran at each other, in a flash, they were both hit by each other attacks and slided in direction of their trainers. Lucario stopped in front of Sunset Shimmer and Gallade stopped in front of Korrina. There was a long silence and the two pokemons were immobile. Then, suddenly, Lucario and Gallade returned to their normal form, still standing. Then, finally, Lucario fainted first and fell face on the ground, K.O, Gallade was standing, exhausted, but conscious, in front of Korrina.

“Lucario fainted, said the referee. Sunset Shimmer and her Gallade won!! The victory come to the challenger!!”

Lucario got up on his leg and Korrina hugged him.

“You were awesome, Lucario, she said. Good job!!”

Sunset also congratulated her pokemon for his performance. Then, Lucario and Gallade looked at each other and made a bumpfist. Korrina shook Sunset’s hand and gave her the Rumble Badge.

“Came back whenever you want, she said. Me and Lucario will be honored to fight you two again!! Goodbye!”

“Oh, i forgot to mention, Korrina, said Sunset. You will have another challenger soon, and he is pretty strong.”

“Cool, i’ll wait him!!” she answered.

Sunset left the arena and disappeared to the Pokemon Center. At the same time, Sunlight arrived in front of the shore.

“Wait, where is the bridge, he said to himself. How am i supposed to get on the other side?”

Then, the sun set down and a path magically appeared in front of him.

“This place is fucked up, he thought. I am afraid that all this water decided to drown me while i am walking to the tower”

“What are you waiting for?! Asked Korrina to him. Go, this path won’t disappear until the sunrise!!!”

Sunlight decided to travel the path with precaution, afraid that all this water would trap him and drown him. Slowly, Sunlight made it to the entrance of the tower.

“You must really hate the water, am i right?” she asked.

“I don’t hate it, he answered. I am afraid of it, i couldn’t think to anything else that this path disappearing and drowning me”

“Oh, i understand, she said. This is indeed scary for some people. Beside, i am Korrina, the Gym Leader of this city. And you must be my challenger...”

She also saw on Sunlight’s mask a Keystone.

“Wow, you have also a Keystone? She asked. Can you also use Mega-Evolution?!”

“Not yet, answered Sunlight. I have a Houndoom with me, but i don’t have his Mega-Gem. Ironically, i have a Charizardite X but not a Charizard yet.”

“Hum, You seem to love the Fire type, Do you?” she asked.

“A lot, he answered. I would had loved so much to challenge you with a Mega-Pokemon, but none of the two i have can do it now. But even without Mega-Evolution, i will be able to win against you.”

“Hum, so follow me, she said. This battle will also be one against one, Do you know which pokemon you will use?”

“Yes, i do, said Sunlight. And he is pretty bulky”

“Bulky? hum, i also have one who is bulky too, answered Korrina.”

Once arrived in the arena, the two trainer took place on the field. The referee once again told the rules of this battle and gave the signal.

“Alright, i choose you, Machamp!!” said Korrina.

A four-arm muscular Pokemon appeared on the field and posed.

“Time to shine, Incineroar!!!!” said Sunlight.

Incineraor appeared also on the battlefield and roared.

“Wow, i never seen that Pokemon before!!! She said. His name is Incineroar, you said? He seem to be pretty strong, and that belt on him, it look like the one of Machamp. Does he is a champion too?”

“Hum, i heard that Incineroars are professional of wrestling, answered Sunlight. They are heavy hitters and ferocious fighters. I am sure he will be a match for a Machamp.”

“Alright, then, said the Gym Leader. Machamp, use Cross Chop!!!”

Machamp ran in direction of Incineroar, who waited for him.

“Use counter!! Said Sunlight!!”

Incineroar dodged the two blows and countered with a powerful kick in the guts. Machamp was sent a few meters away.

“Ma..Champ!!” said the pokemon.

“Can you translate, Motisma?” asked Sunlight.

“Sure, he answered. Machamp just cursed.”

Incineroar laughed at Machamp.

“And now, Incineroar is laughing of Machamp” said the Motisma-Dex.

“Machamp, use Cross Chop again!!” said Korrina

Machamp obeyed and rushed at Incineroar

“Use Counter...” said Sunlight.

Incineroar took a defensive stance, ready to counter the attack. Korrina smiled to Sunlight.

“You fell for it, she said. Machamp, use Low Sweep!!”

Machamp slided on the ground and kicked Incineroar legs, making him fall on the ground.

“Don’t let him get up and use Vital Throw!!” she yelled.

Machamp grabbed Incineroar, made a few rotations and launched the pokemon against a wall. Sunlight smiled and that was worrying Korrina.

“Finish him with a Cross Chop, Machamp!!” said Korrina.

Machamp charged in direction of Incineroar. Sunlight was still smiling at the Gym Leader.

“Incineroar, he said. Use Revenge!!!”

“What? Said Korrina. Oh no!!”

Incineroar took the hit from Machamp and survived it, then, full of power, stroke back. The power of the counter move sent Machamp flying at the other side of the arena, putting him K.O. Korrina was astonished and silent.

“Machamp is K.O!!! Said the referee, the victory goes to our challenger, Sunlight Blaze, and his Incineroar!!!”

Incineroar fell on the ground, exhausted by the fight. Sunlight smiled at him and Incineroar did the same.

“You get this like a pro, he said. You can rest now.”

Korrina brought back her Machamp and walked in direction of Sunlight.

“I have to admit, i was not expecting Incineroar to use Revenge” she said.

“I was prepared, he answered. I knew your pokemons would use Fighting type attacks, and being a Dark/Fire Type, Incineroar would have been disadvantaged. So, i taugh him Revenge, which is an attack that gain more power if the user is hit before he throw it.”

“You know, said Korrina, i never thought of using a defensive strategy in a battle. But after this match, i begin to think that adding some counter moves is a very good idea.”

“I am glad if i inspired you, said Sunlight. To be honest, i could have use a full offensive strategy in this fight, but i didn’t. I wanted to use a different strategy and that worked.”

“Well, there is the Rumble Badge, said Korrina. You deserved it. I hope i will have the chance to see you again!!”

“Next time we fight, said Sunlight. I will have a Mega-Pokemon waiting for you!”

“Really?! I can’t wait to see it!!” she yelled.

Sunlight went to the Pokemon Center and saw Sunset waiting.

“Hi, Sunset, he said. Guess who won his third badge?!”

He showed the Rumble badge, and so did she, with a smile. Sunset told him how she defeated her in a ferocious fight between Mega-Gallade and Mega-Lucario. Sunlight, him, told the incredible fight between her Machamp and his Incineroar and how he beat the crap out of him.

“You know, that was just an idea, said Sunset. When i told you you can use more defensive techniques for your next battles, that was just a random thought. I didn’t expect you to actually do that!”

“I could have used offensive and still pull out a win against her, he said. But i realized you were right about the utility of a defensive strategy. I am actually glad it work very well for me.”

Sunset and him stood side by side, sat on a cozy couch, waiting for their pokemons to be healed. They looked at each other and smiled.
> Chapter 11: A revelating discussion.
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunlight Blaze and his sister, Sunset Shimmer, had left Shallour and were heading in direction of the next arena situated at Courmaline City. The Gym Leader being a Grass type user, Sunlight knew that would be easy for him and couldn’t wait to obtain his fourth badge. But while they were walking, Sunset is thinking about who she was going to use. She asked Sunlight if her Kirlia and Abra could train with his pokemons, which should help them evolving, but Sunlight refused.

“I am sorry, Sunset, he said. I can’t allow you to use my pokemons to grind yours...”

“And why?” she asked.

“Simply because that would count as a shortcut, he said. Some people have a term for that and that term is «Cheating»”

“Arrgh!!! You can be so bothering, sometimes!!” she said.

“I do that for your good, he said. The hard way is the only way to grow stronger.”

“You are one to talk, Sunlight, said Sunset. You never known the hard way, you had a so perfect life and childhood. I am the one who learned life the hard way.”

“So, why do you want to use the easy way, now?” asked her brother.

“Because i thought that would be nice to use another way, she answered. Have you rushed to got something in your whole life only once? I don’t think so. Me, in order to have the attention of my adoptive parents, i had to beg them and got excellent grades!!”

“Hey, calm down!! Said Sunlight. Obviously, you don’t know me if you said that my childhood was perfect and i that i don’t know anything of the hard life”

“Like what? She asked. You have one bad note and your parents punished you?”

“No, I had nice parents and got a lot of support from them, he said. But outside of my familial life, the rest of my childhood sucked. At school, i was very smart, cute, popular and also, i was a favorite of the Princess Celestia. But despite having these privileges on my side, i had no friend. They were all jealous of me and some of them even rejected me. Then, i met you, you were like me, Popular, smart, hated by almost everyone for that.”

“I will admit you were a lighthouse for me in that period of my life, she said. We were alone against everyone and i didn’t cared, because i had you as my best friend.”

“Passing time with you was so great for my self esteem and you reignited my passion for magic, he said. And trust me, when i had to leave the school of magic, i was sad, i didn’t want to leave you, Sunset. For the next years, i was thinking about you everyday and if i was always smiling to everyone else and gave them the impression i was happy, I was dead inside. I wanted to run away from my life, live my adventures, and i was about to do it. But then, i heard that Twilight and her friends defeated Nightmare Moon from the mouth of Celestia. Later, i learned they defeated Discord and Chrysalis when she attacked Canterlot. Their heroism inspired me to become a hero, with my gift in magic, i knew i could be like them one day. But what really gave me a new sense in my life was their Friendship. I knew that i needed friends more than ever.”

“I didn’t knew that, she said. I mean, the fact you were so sad despite the quality of life you had. I am sorry...”

“Since that day, said Sunlight, i never stopped to believe in the power of Friendship and the flame in my soul never faded”

“Once again, that make us a thing in common, she said. We both lived the darkest moments of our lives but Friendship had been for both of us the thing that changed our life.”

“Except that me, i didn’t tyrannized a school” said Sunlight, smiling.

“Yeah, i regret that part of my life a lot, she said. But i want to know what were your projects if you ran away from your parents and Canterlot life?”

“I would probably had embraced the darkness, he said. Then, maybe forcing other to be my friends and burn them to death if they refused. Yeah, i would probably had turned a tyrant much later...”

They stayed silent and looked at each other with compassion.

“Can i told you something?” asked Sunset.

“Anything, he answered. I am here to listen”

“Nah...Never mind, she said. This is not important.”

“I want to know, tell me, Sunset” he asked

“I said this was not important! She answered. Anyway when are we gonna arrive at the next arena?”

“Well, if we keep that speed, tomorrow” answered Sunlight.

While they continued walking, Sunset found by chance some trainers who wanted to fight on her way. Of course, battling with an Abra and a Kirlia was not so simple but she managed, after defeating 8 trainers in a row, to make Abra evolve into Kadabra and Kirlia into Gardevoir. Then, her and Sunlight decided to begin to built their camp because the night was coming.

“Hum, i am thinking about it and i need to catch 3 more pokemons before the Pokemon League” she said.

“You mean 2, said Sunlight. You forgot you have Mew...”

“I am not sure, answered Sunset. I know Mew is powerful and could wipe out most of the competition by himself, but i don’t want him to be exposed to the public. You imagine if some criminals or bad people in the stadium saw him, and killed us to get their hand on him?”

“Yeah, you are right on that point, said Sunlight. But they can try, I am not easy to take down. Beside, i also have to capture one last pokemon for the league and i know who i want.”

He show Sunset the image of a pokemon on his Motisma-Dex.

“You are kidding, right? She said. You really have the intention to bring a Legendary in the League?”

“Of course, i am, he answered. Moltress will be the perfect addition to my team and luckily, he live in this region. When i will got my last badge, i will try to capture him. If i can’t get him, there is still Blaziken, or Heatran, or Salazzle among my choices”

Sunset was also searching on her Pokedex about Psychic Type living in the region. She didn’t tell anything to Sunlight and after 10 minutes searching, she closed her Pokedex and put it in her bag. Sunset and Sunlight began to built their camp for the night. Beginning with the tents, then the meal for their Pokemons and last, preparing the meal for both of them.

“You will cook this time, said Sunlight. You will choose what you want to do for us.”

“Hum, i would love some seafood, but i am tempted by something meaty” she answered.

“Seafood? Asked Sunlight. No problem, we will fish then. I heard that the flesh of some aquatic pokemons is delicious and taste like heaven.”

“Wait, you want us to eat...Pokemons? She asked. This is barbaric!!”

“Meh, In your world, people kill animals to eat, right? He asked.  Fish, beef, chicken, shrimps, liver and every meat based product, i know they came from living animals. And in this world, Pokemons seem to be what is for us animals. Pokemons are just the equivalent of the animals in our world, at the difference these ones have magic powers.”

“Is that true, Motisma?” asked Sunset.

“This is a sensible subject...But yes, Humans in this world eat some species of pokemons” he answered.

“Alright, then, let’s fish!!” said Sunset.

“With what? Asked Sunlight. We don’t have fishing rods...”

“Who told you that we needed one?” she answered.

She sent out Kadabra and Gardevoir and told them to use their psychics powers to teleport fishes on the land. After 20 minutes doing this, Sunset found two big fleshy and bulky Basculins, species reputed for the quality of their meat. Then, she brought it back to the campfire and Sunlight ordered to Ninetails and Houndoom to broil them with their flames. After only 2 minutes, the two Basculins were perfectly fried and the duo ate. Sunlight gave some pieces to his pokemons, who appreciated it. Sunset also proposed to her Pokemons roasted Basculin. Gallade accepted it with pleasure, but Gardevoir and Kadabra were not interested. After they finished their meal, they went to bed with a full belly. The next day, Sunset made for her a bowl of cereal and one for Sunlight too.

“How was the night, she asked to him. Did you sleep well?”

“Sorta, he answered. That Basculin was very hard to digest and it took me some times to found sleep. What about you?”

“I slept very well, she said. I made such beautiful dreams...”

They finished their breakfast, extinguished the fire and disassembled their tents. Then, they started to walk again. After a few minutes only, the duo was interrupted by a duo of trainers who proposed them a multi-battle.

“A multi-battle is a 2 vs 2 Pokemon battle, if you didn’t knew it ” said one of the two opponents

“Each of us will use only 1 pokemon, and the fight will end when the 2 pokemon of one of the teams are K.O, said the other opponent. Oh, i forgot to present us!! My name is Aurelia and the guy with me is my boyfriend, Matt.”

“I am Sunset Shimmer, said Sunset. And my partner next to me is my brother, Sunlight Blaze.”

“We will talk later, said Sunlight. Now, Let’s battle!!”

“Pyroar, said Aurelia, i chose you!!”

“And because we are a couple, i chose also you, Pyroar!!”

Two lion-like creatures appeared in front of them, They were both Pyroars, but had two different manes.

“Oh, allow me to explain, said Matt, My Pyroar, the one with the biggest mane, is the male, and the one that my fiancée have is a female, this is why her mane is not as impressive as my Pyroar”

“This is interesting, said Sunlight. I didn’t knew that, Now allow me to introduce you to my first Pokemon, Go, Houndoom!!”

“I also have a pokemon to present to you, said Sunset. Go, Kadabra!!”

The Houndoom and the Kadabra were intimidated by the male Pyroar. Matt was the first to attack and ordered his pokemon to use Hyper Voice. His girlfriend told to her Pyroar to use Noble Roar at the same time. The combination of the two attack sent Houndoom and Kadabra away.

“Kadabra, said Sunset, use Disable on both of them!!”

Kadabra focused is mind and looked at the Pyroars, Then used his mental abilities to make the two pokemons forgot the move they recently used.

“Now, you can’t use this combination again” she said.

Then, she sent to Sunlight a telepathic message

“Sunlight, she said. Do you have a plan to beat them?”

”Sure i have one, he answered, but i will need your Kadabra to cover Houndoom for it to work?”

”Fine, what do i need to do?” she asked.

”You will know soon” he answered

“That was a clever move for a Psychic type pokemon to use, said Aurelia. But me and my boyfriend are not done yet”

“Houndoom, use Nasty Plot!!, he said, and then, Hone Claws!!!”

Houndoom began to raise his power.

“Oh no, said Matt, if you think we will let your pokemon boost himself, you wish!!! Pyroar, prepare to use Hyper Beam!!!”

“You too, Pyroar, said Aurelia”

“Damn it, said Sunlight. They will stroke Houndoom before he will be ready!”

“Kadabra, use Kinesis!!” said Sunset.

The pokemon started to distract the Pyroars by doing psychic tricks with his spoon. The two Pokemons threw their beams at him, which he avoided with Teleport. This diversion let Houndoom enough time to finish powering himself.

“Now, let’s finish this, said Sunlight. Houndoom, use Inferno!!!”

Houndoom howled and spitted out of his mouth an ultra powerful blast of fire which turned into a giant fireball and hit the two pokemons before exploding.

“That should have weakened your pokemons a lot, said Sunlight. Now, Houndoom, use Crunch on Male Pyroar!!!”

Houndoom jumped in direction of the male pokemon and created giant fangs who hit Pyroar many times. The male Pyroar fell on the ground, K.O.

“Pyroar!!! Said Matt. Well, this battle is on your shoulders, Honey!!”

“Now, Houndoom, use Crunch on the other Pyroar!!” said Sunlight.

“Not so fast, said Aurelia, Pyroar, use Attract!!”

The female pokemon created magic hearts that touched Houndoom and made him infatuated.

“You didn’t see it coming!! She said. You should have known that as a couple, both of our Pyroars where knew attract!”

“Crap, said Sunlight. I guess you will have to finish this battle alone, Sis”

“I got this!! She said. Kadabra, use Disable on her Pokemon!!”

Kadabra used his magic to make Pyroar forgot about the move Attract.

“You won’t be able to use it again, she said. Now, Kadabra, finish her with Psychic!!!”

The pokemon immobilized the female Pyroar with his Psychic powers and threw her on the ground repetitively until she fainted.

“No, not you too, Pyroar!!” said Aurelia.

“And we won!! Said Sunset. Your two pokemons are K.O!!”

“Congratulation, said Matt, i thought me and my girlfriend were the best in a double battle...But you proved us otherwise...”

“...And after this battle against you two, continued Aurelia, I guess we still have a lot to learn. I hope we will have the occasion to battle with you again!”

The couple said goodbye to the two siblings and walked away. Sunlight looked at Sunset who was smiling to him.

“Good job covering me, Sis...” he said to her, with a thumb up.

Sunset blushed from the compliment and felt proud of her. For the first time, she actually protected her brother, which she never did before. Sunlight turned his head and smile, happy that his first attempt to increase her confidence worked perfectly.

“We are not that far of Courmaline, he said. If we stop talking and start to walk again, we will arrive in less than an hour!”

“Right, she said. I can’t wait to get my next Badge!!”

And the two best friends/siblings, walked in direction of Courmaline City.
> Chapter 12: Battle agaisnt the fourth Gym Leader
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset Shimmer and Sunlight Blaze arrived in Courmaline. The first thing they did was to go to the local Pokemon Center, Then, Sunlight made the turn of the stores to see if they could sold something interesting. Sunset, her, was actually thinking about a strategy for her Gym battle.

“This city don’t have any interesting shops,” said Sunlight walking in the streets.

He found a market selling fresh seafood, vegetables, bread and fruits. And not so far of it, a stand selling medicinal herbs.

”Hum, the market seem interesting though, he said. I will make a few courses here”

Sunlight bought a good quantity of vegetables and fruits, then a lot of medicinal herbs. When he had finished, he headed in direction of the Arena to defy the Gym Leader. But before he entered, he received something in his hands. He looked at it and saw it was a Mega-Gem. 

“Use it during this battle, said a voice in his head. This is for your Houndoom”

Sunlight put the gem in his pockets.

”I clearly have the advantage in this arena, he said. But i have to stay on my guards, Grass types pokemon can learn a lot of move super effective on the Fire types.”

Sunlight entered in the arena and was surprised by all the vines and vegetation in it.

“Sweet Celestia, he said. Is this an arena or a garden?”

“This place is both an arena and a garden, said a voice. I am on your right.”

Sunlight turned his head and saw an old man.

“Who are you? He asked. The gardener? Do you know where is the Gym Leader?”

“He he, you will find him on top of this wall, answered the old man. To get here, you will have to climb all these vines.”

“This is like when i fought Grant, said Sunlight. Well, that will be easy!”

“Ah, young people and their confidence, said the man. I hope it won’t make you too arrogant one day.”

“I know where the line between arrogance and confidence is, he said. I am not blinded by it.”

Sunlight began to climb on the vines and walls with ease and precaution. After 15 minutes, he arrived on the top of the obstacle and saw the battle arena, where the referee was present.

“Alright, said Sunlight. Let’s see who is the Gym Leader.”

The same old man he saw sooner appeared and walked in the arena.

“Hum? You are the Gym Leader? He asked. I was not expecting that”

“He he, don’t judge a flower by his appearance, said the old man. A beautiful flower can be deadly. Also, my name is Ramos”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Ramos, said Sunlight. I will prevent you that i won’t go easy on you”

“I love hearing that” said Ramos.

The referee explained that Ramos would only use 3 pokemons, while Sunlight could use all of his. Then, he gave the start signal.

“Show me your power, said Ramos, I chose you, Meganium!!!”

“Hum, well, in that case, i send you, Ninetails!!!” said Sunlight.

“Hum, a fire type? Asked Ramos. Well, that will sure make thing difficult for me...He he...Meganium, use Leaf Storm!!!”

“Counter it with a Flamethrower!!” said Sunlight

The flames collided with the leafs and caused an explosion.

“Hum, use Sunny Day!!!” said Sunlight.

Ninetails growled and caused a massive rise of temperature followed by an intense light.

“Hum, Sunny Day increase the power of Fire type moves, said Ramos. But know that it also benefit Grass types pokemons. Let me show you how...”

“Ninetails, use Flamethrower!!!” said Sunlight.

“Use Protect, Meganium!!” said Ramos.

The flames crashed against the magic barrier without causing any damages to Meganium.

“Good reflexes, said Sunlight, but your pokemon won’t be able to reuse it right now!! Ninetails, use Flamethrower again!!!”

“Meganium, use Light Screen!!!” said Ramos

A magic barrier appeared around Meganium and reduced greatly the power of the fire attack when it hit him.

“Light Screen halves the power of your specials capacities” said Ramos.

“That won’t change the issue of the battle, said Sunlight, another Flamethrower and your pokemon is K.O.”

“You think? Said Ramos. He he he, Meganium, use Photosynthesis!!”

Meganium started to glow and the injuries on his body disappeared in mere seconds.

“You see, my dear, said Ramos, Photosynthesis efficiency depend of the weather and the time of the day. During daytime and in a clear sky, it will restore half of the energy of the Pokemon using it. But there is more, if Sunny Day effects are present on the field, Photosynthesis efficiency is doubled.”

“So, what you say is that your pokemon will recover all his energy each time he will use Photosynthesis? Asked Sunlight. You used my move to your advantage. But i am not surprised, you are a Gym Leader, after all”

“And even when it’s effect will fade away, said Ramos. My Meganium will still have Protect, Light Screen and Recover to counter your fire attacks. If you can pass through that strategy, then you may have a chance in the Pokemon League...”

”He is right, thought Sunlight, doubting for the first time in his life. His strategy is flawless, Photosynthesis can restore from 50% to 100% of Meganium’s energy each time he use it. Plus, his Light Screen can reduce the damages i inflict to his pokemon from half, and if that was not enough, he can also use Protect to block my attacks and when he will need to recharge, he can still hold away my Pokemons with Leaf Storm, then use Photosynthesis again, and then Protect...How can i pass trough that?”

Sunlight, for the first time of his life, was doubting about his capacities. But suddenly, he felt something taking possession of his mind with such power that he couldn’t resist for long. Under the control of the thing possessing him, he returned Ninetails in his Pokeball and sent out Incineroar. Then, the same force that was possessing him also did the same with Incineroar and instead of controlling his body, he modified his memory to made him learn a new move for this battle. The being finally disappeared from their mind, after telling Sunlight to use Taunt If he wanted to win. Sunlight didn’t asked questions and decided to follow the advice.

“Incineroar, use Taunt!!” he said.

”Taunt? Though Ramos, Oh no!!” 

Incineroar taunted Meganium with a mean insult and mocking him. That attitude enraged the Grass type Pokemon.

”Alright, thought Sunlight, i used Taunt, so what is next?”

The voice reappeared in his head.

“Taunt is an attack that will prevent your opponent to use any defensive moves, he said. In simple terms, Meganium won’t be able to use Photosynthesis, Protect and Light Screen during the time Taunt will last. But in order to make him learn it, I had to remove one of his move. Which move? You will discover it by yourself...He he he...”

The voice then disappeared. Sunlight focused back on the fight with a new flame, fueled by determination.

“Take that, Ramos!! Said Sunlight. Now, your Meganium have no other choice than using Leaf Storm!!”

“Hum, that was a smart move, i admit, said the Gym Leader. From despair comes hope, like people says”

“You know what to do, Incineroar, said Sunlight. Use Flamethrower!!!”

Flames came out of Incineroar’s belt and hit the Meganium, who couldn’t use Protect. The flames hit him and put Meganium K.O.

“Meganium is K.O!! Said the referee. Sunlight win the first battle!!!”

“Alright, go, Sceptile!! Said Ramos. I count on you!!”

The voice in his head reappeared again and talked to him

“Use Delphox for this battle” said the voice

“If you say so, said Sunlight. Alright, come back, Incineroar!!”

He returned the pokemon inside his pokeball and sent Delphox instead.

”Use her psychic abilities to hinder his movements, said the voice. Sceptile is a fast and agile attacker, a glass cannon if you prefer. Use a defensive strategy against him...”

Sunlight looked at Delphox. Meanwhile, Sunset was still at the pokemon center, reading a magazine to pass the time.

”Well, maybe i should make some courses too, she thought. I want to buy a couple of new outfits, Sunlight shouldn’t be the only one with a styled costume.” 

She walked outside the center and headed in direction of a shop where she could buy some interesting outfits. She didn’t find any.

“Meh, i suppose i can wait until me and Sunlight return to Lumiose City, she said. At least, i passed the time. Now, let’s see if Sunlight’s battle against the Gym Leader is over.”

She headed in the direction of the Gym. Returning to Sunlight, he was fighting the last pokemon of Ramos, a Mega-Venusaur, who was so powerful that he defeated Ninetails, Incineroar and Delphox. His last pokemon, Houndoom, was actually fighting Mega-Venusaur. Both Pokemons were exhausted and hurt, and their trainer were staring at each other.

“Grrr, his Venusaur is a tank, thought Sunlight. The only hope i have is to hit him with a Inferno, but this attack is easy to dodge. The best thing to do is to power up Houndoom with Hone Claws and then Nasty Plot. But that will take some times and if my pokemon take another hit, this is over for him.”

“The Ability of Venusaur is Thick Fat, said the voice. Which considerably halves the damages of Fire and Ice type attacks. If you had a powerful Psychic or Flying type move, you could be able to take him down quickly.”

“My Houndoom don’t have these type of attacks, he said to the voice. Houndoom may be fast, but that Venusaur accuracy is deadly. I have Charmander as a last resort, but he have no chance against this monster!!”

”I have to finish his Houndoom quickly, thought. Ramos. If he can place Inferno, he will have the high ground on Venusaur”

“No, i refuse to give up!! Said Sunlight. Houndoom, i know you want this victory as much as i want. But...”

The voice talking to him told him something. And then shared it with Houndoom

The two looked at each other, then looked at Venusaur.

”You are sure that will work?” asked Sunlight to the voice.

“It will” said the mysterious voice

“Wait, what is he doing?! Said Ramos. Venusaur, don’t let him get near to you!!! Use Earthquake!!!”

Houndoom jumped at the last minute to avoid the attack and got on the back of Venusaur. He began to charge his power.

“Use Vine Whip, Venusaur, said Ramos, get him out of your back!!!”

Venusaur used his vines to grab Houndoom, but he was not able to got him out. The reason was because Houndoom had is claws solidly planted into the flesh of his enemy. Venusaur changed of strategy and whipped Houndoom, hoping to put him K.O. But the pokemon resisted.

”This is the moment!” said the voice

“Alright!!! Time to end this!!! Houndoom, use Inferno!!!” said Sunlight.

The pokemon unleashed on Venusaur his attack, which covered the Grass type pokemon under a torrent of flames. Then, an explosion followed and smoke covered the whole arena. When the smoke dissipated, Sunlight and Ramos saw both Venusaur and Houndoom K.O.

“Double K.O!! said the referee. But who won?”

“Well, uh...I still have a Charminder, said Sunlight. And Ramos doesn't have more pokemons in his team."

“So, that make you the winner” said Ramos.

“I did it...But i am feel guilty to win like that” said Sunlight.

“You earned this badge, Sunlight, he said. Your determination, courage and fighting spirit have convinced me. After all the efforts you have done, that would be an honor for me to gave it to you.”

Ramos gave to Sunlight the Grass Badge.  Then, he walked outside the arena and heard the voice who was talking to him during the battle in his head again.

”Not bad, for a human, said the deep voice. But why didn't you mega-evolved Houndoom? I gave you his Mega-Stone..." 

“Uh...I forgot i had it....But who are you, exactly? Asked Sunlight. Are you a Pokemon?”

“Yes, i am a pokemon, said the voice. Who i am? You’ll have to wait for that, he he he...”

”Thank you for your help...” he said. 

“Oh, i didn’t help you by kindness, said the voice. I did that because i was bored.”

“Hum, should i expect to hear your voice again?” he asked.

”Maybe yes, maybe not...” said the pokemon. 

The voice disappeared for good in Sunlight’s head. He walked and met Sunset Shimmer. He showed her his fourth badge with a smile.

“You won? She said. That was certainly easy with your Fire types...”

“No, he answered. That Gym Leader gave me a lot of trouble even if i had the type advantage. I almost lost and to be honest, i only owe my victory to luck”

“You are kidding, right?” she asked.

“No. He is no joke, he answered. You’ll see when you will battle him.”

“I will challenge him when my pokemons will have recovered, she said. Speaking of, i have to take back mines at the Pokemon Center.”

Her and Sunlight returned to the Pokemon Center, where Sunlight showed his pokemons to Nurse Joy, and Sunset, who was standing next to him. Both were surprised by how badly injured his pokemons were. Sunset realized quickly that he didn't lied about how hard his battle was.

“They are badly injured, said Nurse Joy, but i promise that they will be healed in a few hours. Beside, Miss Sunset, your Pokemons have fully recovered.”

She gave her the pokeballs containing her pokemons.

“Cool, now, you are ready to challenge Ramos, said Sunlight. And i will be here to support you”

Sunlight saw on Sunset’s face that she was worried.

“What are you worried about, he asked. I see it in your eyes, What is wrong?”

“I am not so sure if i can win against him, she said. You had 4 pokemons with a type advantage and you almost lost.”

“I didn't have Mega-Evolution, said Sunlight. But you do. Beside, from what i learned of my battle against Ramos, i think you might just have what it take to win, trust me. If i had your team in battle, the victory would have been easy”

“You think?” she asked.

“Sure, he answered. Now, let’s head to the Gym!!”

Sunset and Sunlight left the Pokemon Center and walked in direction of the Gym. Meanwhile, they were observed by a being standing in the shadows, who revealed to be a Pokemon.

”Time to see how SHE will handle Ramos, now, said the pokemon. I have the feeling that this battle will be entertaining to watch...He he he he he...”

The pokemon disappear immediately before someone spot him.
> Chapter 13: Battle of Strategies
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset was face to Ramos, ready to fight him. Sunlight was spectating.

“The Gym Leader will only be allowed to us 3 pokemons, said the referee. The Challenger is allowed to use all of his and change of pokemons during battle. And the battle will begin....Now!! Send your first pokemon!!!”

“Alright, Kadabra, said Sunset, I choose you!!”

“In that case, I choose you, Ludicolo!!!”

Sunlight was stumped to see that Ramos didn’t sent Meganium. Sunset, her, was also shocked because the strategy she had planned was useless. (She read Sunlight’s memories of his battle agaisnt Ramos earlier)

“He he he, said Ramos. Did you think that i was going to use the same team?”

“In that case, i guess i’ll have to improvise, she said. Alright, Kadabra, Use Psyko!!!”

Ludicolo was suddenly lifted in the air and thrown violently on the ground.

“Ludicolo, use Rain Dance!!” Said Ramos.

Ludicolo got up and began to dance, which made an heavy rain drop on the battlefield.

“Rain? Oh great, said Sunlight. Cinder, can you told me why Ludicolo would use that move?”

“Hum, Ludicolo is a Plant/Water type pokemon, he answered. He have two potential abilities: The first, which he learn naturally, is called  «Swift Swim», this ability raise the speed of a pokemon during rain. Another of the abilities this pokemon possess could be «Rain Dish», which restore by a little amount the energy of the pokemon with this ability.”

Ramos looked at Sunlight and his Motisma-Dex.

“Hum, if you want to know, my Ludicolo have the ability «Swift Swim», said Ramos. Now, use Teeter Dance on Kadabra!!”

Ludicolo danced again, but differently. After a moment, Kadabra was confused.

“Kadabra!! Are you fine? Asked Sunset. What happened to you?!”

“Alright, Ludicolo, now, use Hydro Pump!!!” said Ramos

Ludicolo spitted a huge blast of water from his mouth in direction of Kadabra.

“Kababra, use Teleport!!!” said Sunset.

Kadabra, confused, instead used Psychic, which had for effect to deflect the water blast in direction of Sunlight, (who dodged it, fortunately). Sunset looked at Kababra, furious.

“Kadabra!! She yelled. Why did you do that!!? I told you to use Teleport!! Not Psychic!!”

“Sunset, said Sunlight. Can’t you see your Kadabra is confused?!”

“Confused?!” she said.

“Remember Teeter Dance? Said Ramos. My Ludicolo used this move to confuse Kadabra...”

“Stay focused Sunset!!!” said Sunlight to her.

Sunset calmed down and breathed deeply, she suddenly felt a powerful psychic energy flowing trough her.

“Come back, Kadabra, said Sunset. I send you, Gardevoir!!!”

Gardevoir appeared on the battlefield and stared at Ludicolo.

“Gardevoir, use Shadow Ball!!” said Sunset.

The pokemon threw a ball made of dark energy at Ludicolo, who couldn’t dodge it.

“What? Thought Ramos. Her Gardevoir can’t be faster than Ludicolo!! Except... If he possess «Swift Swim». Hum...That mean Gardevoir must have «Trace», An ability that allow the pokemon to copy the ability of another pokemon...Well played, Sunset Shimmer...”

“Gardevoir, use Attract!!” said Sunset.

Gardevoir seduced the Ludicolo. Sunlight made a smile and Ramos lost his.

“Ludicolo, said Ramos, use Metronome!!”

Ludicolo danced with his hands in front of him moving left to right.

“What is he doing?” asked Sunset.

“Stay on your guards, Sunset, yelled Sunlight. By using Metronome, Ludicolo’s next attack will be totally unpredictable!!!”

Ludicolo stopped dancing and look at Gardevoir. He rushed in her direction, head first.

“Oh, said Cinder 2.0, he is using Head Smash!!!”

Ludicolo hit Gardevoir violently, knocking her back and putting her K.O. Then, Ludicolo fainted from the recoil.

“Double K.O!!” said the referee.

Each trainer returned their pokemons in their ball and stared at each other.

“Alright, let’s pass to the next part, said Ramos. I send you, Leavanny!!”

“I send you, Kadabra!!” said Sunset.

“Leavanny, use Sunny Day!!!” said the Gym Leader.

“Really? Said Sunset. First, Rain Dance, and now, Sunny Day?”

“He he he, said Ramos, Leavanny have the ability «Chlorophyll», which will boost her speed a lot under the effects of Sunny Day”

“Oh, great, said Sunset. Please, Kabadra, tell me you have something super effective against a Grass Type?”

Kadabra closed his eyes and analyzed every single attack he could learn. Meanwhile, Leavanny attacked with a powerful Bug Buzz who hurt Kababra Badly. She then used X-Scissors multiple times, But Kadabra, eager to make up for his ridiculous performance against Ludicolo, took the blows. He opened the eyes, set his fists on fire and punched Leavanny multiple times. Then, Kadabra gave her the final blow and put Leavanny K.O. Ramos was shocked. Kadabra looked at Sunset and made a thumb-up before falling on the ground, exhausted.

“That was Fire Punch!! Said Sunlight. Guess you didn’t see that one coming, Ramos!!”

“And to explain how Fire Punch put Leavanny K.O so quickly, said Cinder 2.0, is because the attack power was higher due to Sunny Day, added to the fact Leavanny is very weak against Fire type attacks due to his Grass/Bug type. That was a smart move from Kababra!!”

“Wow, really? Said Sunset to Kadabra. Good job, i am proud of you. You can rest now.”

Both trainer held the ball containing their last Pokemon. Sunlight knew that Sunset was going to use Gallade and was sure that Ramos would use his Venusaur.

“I send you, Gallade!!” she said.

“This is your time to shine, Sceptile!!” said Ramos.

Sunlight was once again surprised.

“Sceptile, Listen to the call of the wild, feel the energy of the Nature, said Ramos, revealing his Keystone. Sceptile, Mega-Evolve!!!”

Jungko started to Mega-evolve, at the total surprise of Sunlight. Then, his transformation ended and revealed his Mega-form.

“Gallade, let’s do this!! Said Sunset. I count on you!! Mega-Evolve!!!”

Gallade turned into his mega-form in few seconds.

“I see, said Ramos. That will be a fight against 2 mega-evolved pokemons.”

“Gallade!! Use Sword Dance!!” said the young woman.

“Sceptile, use Sword Dance too!!!” said Ramos

The 2 pokemons passed a few seconds to charge their power, then passed to the attack.

“Use X-Scissors!!” said the two trainers at the same time, to their pokemons

Both of their attacks clashed violently against each other and the 2 pokemons get knocked back.

“Use Night Slash, Gallade!!” said Sunset.

“Use Leaf Blade!!!” said Ramos.

This time, both of the attacks hit their target.

“Use Psycho Cut!!!” said Sunset.

“Strike back with Leaf Storm!!” said Ramos.

The two attacks clashed again, but obviously, Leaf Storm was stronger and passed Psycho-Cut to hit Gallade. The Psychic/Figthing type pokemon Took the attack without difficulty and countered with a powerful X-Scissors.

“You can do it, Sceptile, said Ramos. Use Leaf Blade!!!”

“Use X-Scissors, Gallade!!” said Sunset.

The battle was so intense that Sunlight even prepared a bucket of Pop-Corn a few minutes ago, that he was eating while watching. The battle continued for minutes, with each of the two pokemons delivering hits consecutively.

“Okay, time to end this battle, said Ramos, Jungko. Put all your energy and use Leaf Storm!!!”

“Gallade, Focus all your energy and make the most powerful Psycho Cut you can!!”

The 2 pokemons unleashed their attacks and like last time, collided. But surprisingly, Psycho Cut broke trough Leaf Storm and hit Sceptile, causing an explosion. The smoke faded away and revealed Sceptile unconscious on the ground, returned to normal.

“Sceptile is K.O!! Said the referee. Sunset Shimmer is the winner!!!”

Sunlight took Sunset in his arm and congratulated her. She looked at him and smiled.

“You were awesome!! Said Sunlight. Not gonna lie, that battle was captivating!!”

Sunlight released Sunset and walked back to let Ramos gave her the Grass Badge.

“Congratulation, young girl, he said. I’ve rarely seen female trainers with such talent and passion. That was a memorable battle, and this is with honor that i give you this badge, Sunset Shimmer”

Ramos gave to her the Grass Badge, that she added to her collection. She then looked at Sunlight with a proud smile, and he smiled back to her.

“I hope that we will meet again, said the Gym Leader. Oh, and Sunlight, have this!!”

Ramos gave to Sunlight a strange rock, surprisingly warm.

“Give it to your Ninetails, he said. This is an object called Heat Rock and will have for effect to make Sunny Day last longer”

“Thank you, Ramos, said Sunlight. I also hope to see you again!!”

The two siblings left the gym and headed in direction of the Pokemon Center. Then, when the night came, they rented two rooms in a hotel. The next day, they met each other at the exit of the town.

“Where do we go next?” she asked to him.

“Let’s head in direction of Snowbelle, he said. I have hear their Gym Leader is an Ice type specialist. After that, we will head to Laverre City, then Anistar City to finally end our trip at Lumiose City. Do you have questions?”

“That seem fine to me, she answered. But to be honest, i want to return to Lumiose first because i want to buy new clothes!!”

“Why? Asked Sunlight. You are already beautiful in your current outfit!”

“I just want an outfit as cool as yours...” she answered.

“Hum, he said. I can make you one...”

“Wait, like that?” she asked.

“Yes, like that, he answered. The only thing you will have to do is to buy the stuff in order for me to make your outfit.”

“Hum, seem fine for me, she said. Just let me draw it”

“Fine, you’ll do it while walking, he said. We have a long way to do before Snowbelle City!!”

“Wait, not so fast, Sunlight, wait for me!!” she said. Running after him.
