Drake's Chamber, past

Drake: You and your mons are very skilled, but it's hardly over yet! Kingdra!

Kingdra: -Appears- <We meet again, Forecaster.>

Forecaster: <Let's see if I make our record 2-1 in my favour.>

Drake: Rain Dance!

Kingdra: -Creates a rainstorm-

Forecaster: -Is shifted to Rainy Form- <Crud.>

Thunder Wave!

Forecaster: -Sends out a weak electrical charge at Kingdra-

Kingdra: -Is paralyzed, but still fires a crit strength Dragon Pulse at Forecaster-

Forecaster: -Takes extra damage from Sniper, putting her in the high yellow- <Ack!>

-And retaliates with a crit strength Thunder, managing to take out half of Kingdra's health before she succumbs to poison-

Kingdra: <I guess we're even now…>

Go Steel!

Steel: -Appears-

Dragon Claw!

Steel: -Slashes at Kingdra with claws wreathed in emerald flames-

Kingdra: -Is brought down to the red- <Okay then, time to take you ou-Urk!>

Well that's convenient. Steel?

Steel: -Unceremoniously knocks Kingdra out with the same combo- <Sorry about that...>

Jacob: -Folding his hands and thinking- "... Hm. Castform. Weather. So many possibilities."

"... Hm."

-He sits back- "Well. I forgot Aggron can learn that. I guess I haven't needed Ferris to since... well... Regina."

[REDACTED]

Zrone: "..."

-Spins in his swivel chair, sighs, and dramatically slumps his arms back- "CID I'M BORED"

-He sits up just to dramatically slump again with a heavy and obviously overdone sigh- "Can we go do somethiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing please. I built my wall of Tetris again and the game broke I WANNA FIND MORE ARMOR PIECES."

Drake's Chamber, past

Drake: Flygon, you're next!

Flygon: -Appears- <Oh, it's you guys again. Your trainer got taller.>

Steel: <Maybe we can catch up later or something.>

Drake: Flygon, use Earthquake!

Flygon: -Creates a tremor-

Steel: -Loses half his health- <Ack!>

-And retaliates with a Hone Claws into Ice Punch combo-

Flygon: -Loses about the same- <You hit just as hard as always, but it's not enough!>

-And faints Steel with the next Earthquake-

Go Cobalt!

Cobalt: -Appears- <...>

-And slams Flygon with another Ice Punch-

Flygon: -Is brought down to the red- <It's not over yet!>

-And uses Earthquake once more, making Cobalt lose a quarter of his health, before the resulting Ice Punch faints him-

He's only got two left, and you know what people say about a cornered Rattata...:

Drake: Go Haxorus!

Haxorus: -Lets out a roar-

Shit.

Drake: Use Taunt!

Haxorus: -Starts displaying and letting out challenging roars-

Guess he doesn't want me using Magnet Rise to get out of this.

Cobalt, Ice Punch!

Cobalt: -Punches Haxorus with a frozen fist-

Haxorus: -Loses about a quarter of his health- <That all you got?>

-Before doing a Swords Dance/Earthquake combo that brings Cobalt down to the red-

Cobalt: <Tagg, I'm not sure if I can beat him without going to unsafe levels for friendly competition.>

Must've been training up his Defense, this is irritating. Ice Punch!

Cobalt: -Punches Haxorus again, bringing him down to half health, before getting fainted by Earthquake-

Jacob: "... Huh. This is turning out to be more interesting than I expected."

Drake's Chamber, past

So we're even now… Muddy, let's do this.

-And the titular Swampert appears-

Muddy: <Alright, let's go.>

Drake: Swords Dance into Dragon Claw!

Ice Punch!

-Both mons go into a flurry of claws and fists-

Haxorus: <ORA ORA ORA!>

Muddy: <MUDA MUDA MUDA!>

-Until they manage to knock each other out-

Well, didn't see that one coming.

Jacob: -His head tilts as he tries to process this- "I have no earthly idea what it is I just witnessed but."

"I."

"I blame Crow."

.... Double knockout though. That's. Hm.

-Pulling out an Ultra Ball-

I suppose we're at a bit of an impasse, aren't we?

Drake: We can end this, but with a twist.

Draca: -Appears-

Salamence: -Also appears- <So the dovah who styled herself Sakrein^* Tongue has returned.>

Draca: <Yeah, what of it?>

Drake: No move limits, no restrictions. Including a certain... special one.

You mean, the Voice?

Drake: Precisely.

Draca?

Draca: <Normally, I wouldn't. But today I think I can make an exception.>

-As Key Stones are revealed and Mega Evolution takes place-

Mega!Draca: <And style myself a Sakrein? I already am one!>

Mega!Salamence: <Then let's do this!>

-And both dragons rush at each other-

Ever Grande City - Past

Jacob: "... Voice? Right like that thing Leng's Electivire could do."

".... I'll need to ask about that later. I still have no idea what that is."

Drake's Chamber, past

Draca: <Let my Thu'um become harsh winter...>

-Bellowing-

<Iiz Slen Nus!^* Ice Flesh Statue, aka Ice Form>

-And sends an icy blast at the opposite Salamence-

Drakemence: <Yol Tor Shul!^* Fire Inferno Sun, aka Fire Breath>

-And counters with a large wave of fire-

<So you have gotten more powerful.>

Draca: -Flies above it to dodge- <With the way this fight is going, one good hit would be all that's needed to end it. On either side.>

-And starts firing off Dragon Pulses-

Drakemence: -Dodges- <Fiik Lo Sah!^* Mirror Decieve Phantom, aka Spectral Clone>

-And several spectral images appear around Draca-

Draca: <Draff.^* Shit.>

-And the Salamence is forced to bob and weave past a battery of more Dragon Pulses-

Ever Grande City - Past

Jacob: "..."

Wow.

Drake never pulled that on me... perhaps... that was one way he didn't need to test me. But...

"Hm."

Drake's Chamber, past

Draca: -While still dodging- <I need to make sure he stays down... Of course!>

-Bellowing as she flies low-

<Ven Gar Nos!^* Wind Unleash Strike, aka Cyclone>

Drakemence: -Is sent flying up to slam into the ceiling, taking major damage- <Argh!>

Draca: <Now to finish it!>

-Flying up as the opposite Salamence begins to fall-

<This is the end,Krii Lun Aus!^* Kill Leech Suffer, aka Marked For Death>

Drakemence: -Is enveloped by the Thu'um- <Niid!^* No!>

-And attempts another Dragon Pulse-

It's over now, I think.

Draca: -Dodges again- <It's over, Su Grah Dun!^* Air Battle Grace, aka Elementary Fury>

-And with the power granted by Elemental Fury Draca starts slashing Drakemence at high speed with Dragon Claw-

Drakemence: -Hits the ground roughly as Draca lands- <So you have become a true Sakrein after all, Bomindokahviing...^* "Flying Scholar Wing">

-And falls unconscious-

Drake's Chamber

Drake: -Recalling Salamence- Congratulations on your victory Tagg, I see the bond between you and your Pokémon has grown even more since our last bout.

-Nods-

Thank you Drake.

Drake: It's important to remember of course, that you should never be so complacent as to think you've reached your zenith, as there will always be things out there to challenge you. Now, with all of us defeated, the Champion awaits.

-Nods and departs-

En Route to Steven

-As we walk-

So we find ourselves walking down this path again, huh?

Forecaster: <Wow Draca, that was amazing.>

Draca: <I do however worry about the public use of the Thu'um, though it's not like most of our enemies could even use it anyway.>

-As the door opens wide-

Muddy: <We beat Steven, and this thing's over. And then we deal with our real problems.>

Right.

-As we file in-

Steven: -With his back to us- Tagg, I remember when we last met here I asked you what you'd seen on your journey with Pokémon.

-Turning around-

Now, I'll ask you the same question again eleven year later. What have your travels taught you over all this time, the sights you've seen and the people you've met. Show me everything you've learned in this world and in others, and we'll show you everything we've learned! Prepare yourself!

Sergey: "So, what do you all want?"

In response Aicha poked with her second mouth on the glass before the Salac Berry Ice cream

Aicha: <This one!>

Mistral on the other hand lowered her head, indicating that she wanted some fresh Mago Berries, Magnus also pointed at them.

Mireille shook her head slightly smiling.

Mireille: <I'll pass on this one.>

Sergey laughed as he turned to the store clerk

Sergey: "Okay then a portion of Salac Berry Ice cream and two bowls of Mago Berries please."

Steven: Swords Dance into Rock Slide!

Skarmory: -Crosses his wings in a rhythmic pattern before sending more rubble at Forecaster-

One more Fire Blast!

Okay, time to take down this blowhard. Steel, use Earthquake!

Stevengron: -Is brought down to the low yellow- <Argh!>

Steven: Hang in there, use Magnet Rise!

Stevengron: -Starts floating above the arena-

As she ate her Ice Aicha noticed the Person with the Roselia. Quickly finishing her Ice she tried to sneak up behind them. An effort not going unnoticed by Sergey.

Sergey: "Behind you, my Mawile is trying to scare you." Now he spoke to Aicha "Hey little one come back now, that's not a nice way to greet somebody."

The Mawile promtly got to Sergey again, a mischievous smile on her face.

Aicha: <Aww, you ruined the suprise>

Sergey: "Sorry, you've got to forgive her. She's prone to playing pranks but she's got no bad intentions."

-While recalling Steel-

Wow Steven, your Carbink is very impressive. Alright, go Co-Draca then lets herself out of her ball-Draca?

Draca: <I wanted to see if I could actually beat one of these feykrosahhe^* fairies.>

Steven: Unorthodox… but that's just the sort of thing I expect out of you and your mons Tagg. Carbink, use Moonblast!

Carbink: -Makes an illusion of the full moon appear before firing a pink beam at Draca-

Draca: -Loses about a little more than a quarter of her health- <That was really unpleasant…>

Hmm… how best to get this Carbink out of pl-Of course! Draca, use Dragon Pulse!

Draca: -Flies up and uses Dragon Pulses on the ground-

Carbink: <Did you forget your type chart or something?>

-Finds themselves blinded by the resulting dust storm-

<ENOUGH!>

-And fires another Moonblast...which misses-
