The Ditto Girl

Picture this, you're on an island. One that doesn't seem to be on any of the maps you have and possibly deserted. After taking a minute or two to get yourself together you start exploring this mysterious island. Eventually you happen across a village, "yes!" you say to yourself. "Now i can finally get some answers!" Except said village is composed of Pokémon and only Pokémon. Confused your now wondering how these grass huts and fields of crops came to be. Because while it is true that there exists some Pokémon who are just as smart, if not smarter than humans. You've never seen an Alakazam or Gardevoir actively go out of their way to Diy a house.
But then again you also haven't explored much of the world either so maybe just like this uncharted island there could be entire civilizations out there made by and for Pokémon. Fortunately, as you enter the village most of the residents don't pay too much attention to you. Some of them glance at you for a quick second before going back to their business, others gaze upon in curiosity. As if you're some sort of exotic creature they've never seen before which, to be fair, they probably haven't.
As much as you would like to ask one of the locals some questions you don't speak Pokenese and of the six Pokémon that make up your team the only one who seems capable of translating is your ace Slowbro. And call it a hunch, but you don't think he'll do a good job of it. He tends to just... not be aware sometimes. As you were just about to call it quits and summon your Golurk to fly off this pokeland you locked eyes with a...... human girl? It looks she's been following you for a while now yet at no point up until this very moment did you notice her. "Well at least now I can hopefully get some answers." You say to say yourself with less optimism than before. As you approach the girl you began to notice some things about her.
You can't quite put your finger on it, but you feel she might be..... off somehow. For starters, her "clothes" and "shoes". They don't seem to be on her, more like they'er apart of her. Then there's the hair, you've seen some interesting hair styles on your journey but never one that looked like slime dripping off someone's head. Only when you've come face to face do you realize that this "girl" is in fact a ditto doing a not so good job of mimicking one. But hey! Maybe this can still work! Maybe this ditto-girl might just be capable o- "Sloobbadopashezbumpmoga!"
"Well alright then" you said in a defeated tone. But before you can get the chance to feel disappointed the Ditto girl grabbed you by the waist, lifted you above her head and carried you away. Where was she taking you? Who knows, but it didn't take long for you to find out. After 15 minutes of unwanted taxi service which thankfully, you didn't have to pay for this time. You reached what you can only assume to be your destination. The entrance to a temple. One, judging by appearance alone looks like it's been here longer than the islanders. But you didn't have time to worry about that now. because as soon as the ditto girl put you down she immediately went to the front of temple and..... assumed a battle position. They say there's a first for everything, a first for capturing a Pokémon, a first for defeating a gym leader and now, a first for fighting a ditto that mimics a human girl.
"Okay i guess were doing this." You say before taking your overly large Backpack and resting it down by one of the trees. "Come out Rillaboom!" You threw your poke ball like you always do: first you get your hand as close to the ground as you can without skidding your knuckles, then you bring it back up as high you can go before releasing it into air so that when your Pokémon come out, they do so landing like a force of nature commanding the audiences attention(even though there's currently no spectators here). The funky primate touched down on the ground and upon landing, the surface began to glow a light green hue. Signifying that Rillaboom's ability Grassy surge, had been activated. "Rillaboo?" You first partner had the appropriate reaction to what he was looking at. He then proceeds to turn to you, "Look man, just roll with it. I'm just as confused as you are." Rillaboom shrugged and then proceeded to take out his drumkit, ready for battle. "Alright, let's start off with the special signature! Rillaboom! Let's get it going with Drum Beating! Rilla!" The funky primate began to hit his sticks against the jungle instrument and as he did so vines emerged from the ground. One by one these vines smacked Ditto girl every which way. Up, down, left, right, and goodnight.
As the final hit sent her down she finds herself not able to get up as quickly as she hoped. Likely due to Drum Beatings secondary effect. "Hmph, this shouldn't take long. Now! High Horsepower, then follow it up with an Acrobatics!" "Rilllaaaa Boooooooommmmmmmm!!!!!" The funky Primate front flipped over his drumkit and charge towards the ditto girl who was still trying to get up but wasn't fast enough. As such she, once again got sent back up into the air by High Horsepower and then received a 10 piece combo from Rillaboom's Acrobatics(Drink not included). After Rillaboom sent the Ditto Girl back to the earth again he quickly hopped back to his jungle instrument. "So far all you've done is just stand there and take hits, are you ever going to attack? I don't like being handed easy wi- BLOCK." "What? Did you just- REVERSAL".
It looked like the speed drop didn't matter too much because as soon as she said those words(and spoke human) she instantly appeared before Rillaboom and BANG straight into the air an- "ACROBATICS" oh my Arceus, the same 10 piece combo Rillaboom give her she give right back. And this time the drink was included as Ditto girl didn't knock the funky primate down with her hands but inste- "HYDRO PUMP". Okay listen here missy, i have a job to do and i can't have you interrupting my narration just so you can show off. Got that? "Skadopbadopbaderp." Ahem, sorry about, anyways, to get back on track the Rillaboom that was dominating the match before hand now found himself at the same level of damage as our plucky mimic. And While Grassy Terrain's effects healed the user it also healed the opponent as well. Before you could think of your next move the Ditto girl began to sprout wooden stomps from her body.
"Hold up" You said as you realize just exactly what it is she's going to do. "No don't do that, don't use our own move against us." But Ditto girl did not listen to your pleas, instead she began to tap each and every single one of her stumps in rapid succession. And as she did so, vines began to emerge form the earth. "Nah, to the distortion world with this crap! Rilliboom use U-turn!" Rillaboom grabbed his drumkit and dashed towards the shameless copycat. Sending her back before returning to his pokeball. "Come out Kleavor!" The Living Weapon, forged and sharpened from the finest material the world has ever seen touched down on the ground, clashing his two axe arms together before striking a pose....then subsequently titling his head upon seeing his opponent. It took him a second to realize what it is he was looking at. He then proceeded to turn towards his trainer. "Listen, she may not look like much but with just three moves she forced me to send Rillaboom back into his ball. Only two champions and three gym leaders were able to do that. From hearing those words Kleavor understood the assignment, he would take his opponent seriously.
"Okay, round two start! Kleavor! Let's get it going with an Agility!. "Shinka senn!" Kleavor now zoomed across the temple grounds zipping up and down and all around the plucky mimic. "CURSE" purple smoke began to raise around Ditto girl as her strength and defense increase while her speed decreases. "Bring those Axes down with X-Scissor!" Shinkaaaaaa senn!" With a double down X-shaped slash Ditto girl got knocked onto her back hard. Cracking the ground underneath her. "Keep going! Don't stop we can't let her get any chance to recover!" "Shinka Shinka Shinkaaaa sennnnnnn!!!!!!" Each X-Scissor that came down on the poor girl cracked the ground more and more until an X shaped crater was formed.
"Alright that's enough Kleavor!" With those words said, the living weapon stopped his assault and backed away from the now beaten and bruised mimic. Who slowly began to close her eyes. "Oh no, we didn't go too far did we?" Fortunately no and unfortunately yes. You didn't go far enough to kill the Ditto Girl but you did drive her to resort to- "REST" Young Lady we talked about this. "Snorasnorasnore." "Okay so? The Trainer scoffed. "You may have restored your health back to full but you've also left yourself a sitting du- SLEEP TALK" Before you could finish your sentence the ground beneath your feet which once lit up with a light green hue now changed to a bright yellow. And mere moments later. "YAIYOYOYAIYAIYOYAIYAWNDAEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" the plucky mimic used Uproar and promptly woke up while also forcing some space between her and Kleavor. "SUPERCELL SLAM" Into the air she went and soon after she begin to fall with her entire body surging with electricity, hoping to hit her target. "Meet her with Aerial Ace Kleavor!" "Shinnnnnnkaaaaaaa sennnnnnn!" Kleavor with an intense gaze in his eyes leaped up into air and clashed his axes with the Ditto girl's aura of electricity.
With the two now airborne they stared into each others soul. "BULLET PUNCH. Aerial Ace!." The two clashed once again going blow for blow, hit for hit, axe to fist. But the more they continued to trade blows the more DG(I will be calling her DG from now on, that stands for Ditto Girl) gain the upper hand. For you see, While Bullet Punch may be a weak physical attack, it gives it's user increased priority. Allowing them to go faster than they normally would be able to and in DG's case, she got a power boost from curse. So the bullet punches were hitting a little harder than normal as well. To add onto that Rock types are weak to Steel type moves, which bullet punch also happens to be. Kleavor may not be taking any significant damage right now but those little Beedrill stings are going to start pilling up. But i don't need to tell you that considering what your next words are.
"Kleavor use Agility to get away!" "Shinka!" The Living weapon pulled out of the airborne duel by zipping back down to the grown. DG, feeling confident decided to join her adversary. As she touched down she began to wince in pain. She wouldn't know why until she looked at her arms and saw that they were completely covered in slashes. "Sharpness, that's my Kleavor's ability. Even weak moves like Aerial Ace become devastating attacks when boosted by sharpness." Oh yeah sure just go ahead and tell the opponent you Pokémon's main source of damage. They're totally not gonna try to counter it now nope, not at all. And as if right on cue.
"GASTRO ACID" a lob of purple blob was regurgitated out of DG's mouth and straight onto Kleavor's face. Shutting down his ability for the reminder of the battle. Kleavor looks at you the same way your mom looked at you when you brought home a hypno from your time spent in the Alola region. "Yeah i know, i messed up buddy but come on! Cut me some slack, who ever uses Gastro Acid?" DG, DG uses Gastro Acid. "BLOCK, HONE CLAWS, SHIFT GEAR". And now it seems like DG is preparing a count- "RAZOR SHELL" Arceus dammit girl let me do my job please. "mooobish." "Kleavor, Agility now!" Kleavor just barley got out of the way. Though it probably would've been better if you had let your Pokémon tank the hit. Judging from the way your Kleavor is huffing and puffing right now. That may have been his last use of agility." Don't worry Pal we're gonna make it. It's time for the special signature. Stone Axe!" Clashing his axes together the living weapon rushes towards the plucky mimic and sent his arms crashing down. Obviously DG effortlessly dodges it by leaping into the air but didn't account for the tiny sharp pebbles that came off those axes that surrounded her now. Even when she quickly descended onto the ground she did not realize she was landing on those stealth rocks until it was too late. And honestly? i don't blame her. Even i have a hard time seeing those things.
Still, i hardly think it was enough, because as soon as she got her bearings. "DRUM BEATING." Once again for a third time vines began to emerge from the earth and each and every single one of them was heading towards Kleavor, who was too tired to even think about avoiding them. "Alright Kleaver, you did you best retur-" the poke ball did not respond. "What? AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" You remembered that DG used Block before her Hone Claws Shift Gear combo. But you didn't have the time to properly freak out, because you were to busy watching in stunned silence as all those vines came crashing down on your Living Weapon. As those vines disappeared Kleavor slowly got up, unable to do anything except stand in defiance. DG smiled, "RAZOR SHELL." Two sharp calms spawned from her body and into her hands. Now covered in blue water energy, she dashed forward. Both you and Kleavor knew what came next and together, you braced for impact. SCHRING and just like that Kleavor was out.
"I'm sorry, i failed you." You say as you return him to his poke ball. The electric terrain on the ground disappeared soon after. DG then uses Rapid Spin to clear out the arena. You considered bringing Rillaboom back out but decided against it. Thinking it was too early. So you sent out your ride Pokémon. "Alright, here we go! Hisui-Arcanine!." The stoned flamed dog touched down and let out a..... understandably confused roar. "Roaaarrrr????" Hisui-Arcanine turned to look at his trainer. "Trust me when i say i need you to bring your A-game here. Don't underestimate her. She took out Kleavor and sent Rillaboom into the danger zone." The Good boy nodded in understanding. "Woof, Woof!" said the Hisui-Arcane before turning to face his opponent.
"Full throttle! Let's get it going with Flare Blitz!" "Aroooww!!!" The flaming stone guardian lit himself ablaze and charged straight towards DG. Who responded by using Aqua Jet to meet your Arcanine head on, but then. "Switch to Wild Charge!" As you instructed the flames covering Arcanine's body dissipated and were quickly replaced with an aura of electricity. DG could not get out of the way in time. CRASH Arcanine had collided with DG and due to her surrounding her body with water, she took what was essentially a super-effective hit. But that's not all, "Arcanine Head Smash now!" An orange glow began to cover the legendary Dog and then CRASH Now that had to hurt, but wait! There's more! Because you won't be letting up this time. This time your not backing away, your not giving her any opportunity to recover. Not like before! "Wild Charge, Flare Blitz, Double-Edge, Head Smash! Wild Charge, Flare Blitz, Double-Edge, Head Smash! Wild Charge, Flare Blitz, Double-Edge, Head Smash!"
Like a broken record, you kept repeating those words and your faithful companion kept doing them. DG was scared, confused and fully aware that if this keeps up her new friend will end up accidently killing her for reals this time. "Vusvusuboo" DG was trying desperately to find anyway she could to escape, but didn't see an opening. Eventua-"BANEFUL BUNKER" I will forgive you just this once. "Vowhouuu" "Crap!" The trainer said as His faithful dog bounced off the spikey purple force field and began to double back on account of being poisoned. "DIG" DG began to burrow into ground beneath her. "NO!" He shouted helplessly as once again, He allowed his opponent to recover. "Stay on your guard Arcanine! She can pop up from anywhere!" "Woof!" And so you and your Ember flamed beast waited and waited and waited. Seconds turn to minutes which turned to Hours. Yet She never came back up, eventually it began to rain.
You would continue to wait until you notice your Arcanine panting heavily. "I know your stalling. thinking to let the poison do your dirty work? Come out Rillaboom" The MC of the jungle returns to the battlefield once more with an encore and as he touched down, the land beneath his feet glow a bright green hue. Grassy Surge has been activated once more. Rillaboom looked towards his comrade then to you and nodded in understanding. "Rillaboom, use Drum beating." Rillaboom began to beat his sticks against the jungle instrument. This time the vines did not emerge, they burst from the ground. There was no direction to them, they were simply rising. "She has to come out now." You say to yourself with absolute assurance, and you were half right. Did she reveal herself? Yes, multiple of herselfs. One by one the DGs rose into the air, and the vines swiped each and every single one of them away. Sensing a gust of wind, you already know what was coming next. You call out to your First partner, the one you started your journey with. "Thank you." You said with a smile of gratitude on your face. Your pal smiled right back. "HURRICANE" the small gust of wind now turned into a ferocious typhoon that swallowed your two mons whole.
When it finally dissipated both of them were on the ground and DG was standing there, just a few feet away's from them. Hisui-Arcanine was able to get back up, albeit a bit dazed and heavily injured. But Rillaboom was down and stayed down. You returned him to his poke ball. "I promise to treat you guy's to a huge buffet when this is over." And it looks like that buffet will be coming soon for DG was rubbing her hands together. Why? Because she was plotting something nasty. "HYDRO CANNON" "Head Smash! Give it everything you got Arcanine!" "ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!" Head first into the giant stream of pressurized water, The Inferno Blazing Berserker did not stop trying to push through the maelstrom, he kept going until he physically couldn't do so no more. And as if to twist the knife further, the rain stopped and Grassy Surge went as quickly as it came. I suppose not even the extra bit of health restored form the terrain was enough, "Good Job buddy."
You returned him to his poke ball. "Golurk! Awaken and avenge your fallen comrades!" The Mighty Phantom Giant touched down with enough force to shake the earth. He did not look to you like his allies did upon seeing his target. He, along with Archaludon had always been the no nonsense members of the team. Now, what shall it be? How are you going to go about this? DG is letting you go first, and you know it's rude to keep a lady waiting. "First off let me apologize to you DG." So your calling her that too? Great minds think alike eh? "Nodori?" DG said with a confused look on her face. As if to say, what for? So you began to speak. "When we first began, i thought this was gonna be a joke. a fun little detour in my story to become a Frontier Brain. I was right, it is a joke. At my expense."
You began to stare intensely at DG, who returned your glare with a :D. "Every time i feel like I've got you, you somehow, someway, always manage to bounce back. I thought that once i had defeated Iris, Lance, and Wallace i would officially be on my way to becoming one of the greats. To stand alongside the likes of the Tower Tycoon and Pyramid King. I now realize i still have ways to go, because here i am struggling with taking down a Ditto. One who's not even going all out no less, you'd be a lot more powerful if you copied my Pokémon's forms and not just their moves. Imagine the amount of damage you could've done to my Arcanine had you transformed into him. Gaining his Rock Head Ability. You wouldn't have to have used Rain Dance, Nasty Plot, and Hydro Cannon to secure the KO. A simple Swords Dance plus Wave Crash would've done the Job in less time and would require less set up.
But for some reason you insist on keeping that human form. Why?" "So-so-so-sooooooo" DG was struggling to get her words out. Funny, she could always say the name of her attacks so clearly. "Go on, you can do it." You encouraged her. "So-me-on-e-to-re-mem-ber" I suppose calling the names of her attacks and speaking random gibberish is all she can muster. But you didn't care about that. "Someone to remember huh." You eyes softened as you gave a warm smile. "Allow me to formerly introduce myself. My name is Orden Aire." Orden Aire? Really? "I was born in Unova but had to be relocated to Galar to go live with my grandparents. The reason was because my Mom and Dad tragically lost they're lives fighting a Hydreigon that was rampaging across our small little town. One day, while i was flipping through the channels on the TV i came across this battle between A guy who looked like he's been there, done that and a guy who wore the sickest green trench coat I've ever seen! Those two looked so cool in they're exhibition match, especially when they pulled out they're legendary Pokémon!" The fangirling was off the charts. "Ever since i saw those two i tried looking for any form of media they've appeared in. That's when i discovered the Battle Frontier!" Orden's face could not get any wider upon saying those words.
"A group of super powerful trainers who get to run they're own battle Facilities where they make the rules! Not only that but, these guy's are so strong. They're considered above the elite four and even some champions! Brandon and Palmer, the two who've inspired me to walk down this path and who I've model my adventure outfit after are equal to some of the strongest champions in the whole wide world! Arceus please, i beg of you. Let it end already. One day, I intend to stand side by side with them." Is it over? please tell me it's over. "So that's my dream. and i still have a long way to go before i can make that dream a reality." DG clapped. Well at least one of us enjoyed listening to that. "After this battle, let's go out together. What do you say to a fun little adventure across this island? I'm sure there's some places you haven't fully explored yet." DG's face beamed with the radiance and cuteness of a Mega-Audino. "Ditto Ditto Ditto!" She say's as she jumps up and down in excitement. As nice as it was seeing her so happy over your proposal we have a battle finish.
"Okay, break times over! Golurk! Let's get it going with Shadow Punch! "Hmmmmmmmm." The Phantom Giant's fist were enshrouded in a purple aura, then shot towards your friendly adversary. Feeling confident and a little too excited DG decided to dodge by side-stepping the first punch, jumping over the second punch and batting the third away with her right hand. "Sweet moves copycat! I like the way you move your body." Seems the atmosphere has shifted to a lighter and joyful mood. Orden's Golurk can see that his trainer is no longer interested in winning, but giving his new friend a champion time battle. Unlike the rest of Orden's team Golurk does not become dormant when in his poke ball, he remains active and aware of everything that's going on. Why wouldn't he? He's an ancient automation machine running on a mysterious energy that seems to be limitless. So he knows the events that took place in the previous rounds. "ATTRACT" DG formed a heart shape with her hands as a bunch floating hearts were sent Golurks way. And each and every single one of those hearts bounced right off of him. "ATTRACT" Oh yeah sure, because it worked so well the last time right? "Hee-hee what are you doing?" Orden chuckled. "CHARM" DG put her right hand on her hip, kicked her right feet up and did a peace sign with her left hand over head while winking. Golurk's attack dropped sharply.
"See? now that's more like it! Golurk use Psych up!" Three swirls of pink hypnotic energy circled in front of Golurk. "ohpop." Ohpop was right, for this was cause for concern. For you DG, not for me, I'm not the one fighting here. Orden clears his throat before beginning his monologue. "Curse, Hone Claws, Shift Gear, and Nasty Plot. If I'm not mistaken those were the stat boosting moves you used to increase your overall power output right?" Golurk's body began to glow, signifying the tremendous strength now coursing through him. Orden cracks his knuckles before doing a one-two jab. "Alright Golurk it's time for some shadow-boxing. Go! Shadow Punch!" "HHHHHHMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!" Golurk began to imitate it's trainer by performing consecutive jabs and as he did so, Dark gray energy in the shape of the phantom giants fists were sent towards they're target.
"VICTORY DANCE" Now glowing a bright golden aura DG was prepared to dodge the shadowy barrage of fist once more. She jumped over the first one, deflected the second, grabbed the third and fourth, bend over backwards to avoid the fifth, tank the sixth, sent the fourth into the seventh which ricocheted into eight, grabbed the nineth, threw both the third and the nineth into the tenth and eleventh and finally, used protect to completely block the twelfth. DG then proceeded to do a swiping motion on her left shoulder, as if to say "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy". Orden lifts up his index finger, DG lift hers up well to mimic him. He then procced to move his arm up and down, DG looks up. Her face say's it all, it seems that while she was busy showing off how cool she was at playing dodgeball Golurk decided to send a couple of his phantom fist into air. And by a couple i mean at least 623.
"I first tried this strategy against a Bug type gym leader who used a Ninjask, Orden explained. "He was able to maneuver his way out of a few of them but he ultimately got overwhelmed. Now Golurk, bring the house down!" Golurk clapped his hands together and all at once those shadowy fists came crashing do- "MINIMIZE" i was wondering when you were gonna do that again. "Now's your chance Golurk she's wide open. "HHHMMMHHHHMMM!" Like a car reaving it's engine the phantom giant blasted towards his opponent and..... somehow managed to grabbed her? How the Giratina did he even see her? Well i suppose that doesn't matter now. Despite her shrunken size DG was now confined in the palm of his right hand. Golurk snaps his fingers, and the shadowy fists come to a sudden stop. He then raise his left hand and curls it into a fist that now began glow a purple aura. DG closes her eyes and braced for impact.
"HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM HMM!" By the time Golurk was done DG body's was twitching uncontrollably. No doubt due to her receiving the absolute pounding of a lifetime. But that was just the beginning. "Send her high into sky Golurk!" Orden commanded. With pleasure Golurk gripped the little ciniamonroll tightly and chucked her as hard as he can into air. "DO it now!" Golurk clapped his hands once more and all those shadow fists now did a "U-turn" and started going up. DG was still in a daze from the earlier beating so she couldn't react in time and thus, received another "healthy" dosage of knuckle sandwiches(Ghost flavored). "Alright bring her back down with a Hammer Arm!" "HMMMMM!" Having propelled himself upwards Golurk appeared just above DG. bringing both his hands together, he knocked her back down into ground making a small crater. "THIS OUR CHANCE! LET'S FINISH THIS WITH A HEAT CRAAAASSSSHHHH!!!" Fire began to envelope the Phantom Giant. The heat was so intense that one could be forgiven for thinking that the sun was coming down. Although, i guess from DG's perspective that is what was happening. After all, she used Minimize. DG conjured up a ghostly arrow and sent it flying past Golurk. She then closed her eyes.
KABOOM A giant pillar of flame could be seen from across the entire island. The island residents got concerned and decided to head for the temple grounds. Upon reaching the place they saw three things, the first was Orden, the second was Orden's Golurk walking out of a giant crater, and last was they're leader DG crawling out of it. Naturally the islanders got angry at the sight of this and were going to attack. But thankfully, even in her heavily damaged state DG still had enough strength to calm them down with her voice. She then communicated to her brothers and sisters about everything that was going on. At first they were annoyed that a Pokémon battle of all things was happening on they're safe haven, but eventually decided to let things carry on after DG explained how happy she was fighting you. Orden of course, can't understand any of this since he's human. One by one the villagers quietly left, allowing DG to have her fun. DG turned to Orden and give two thumbs up. He give two thumbs in return. DG then extended her left hand outward while her right was pulled inward mimicking that of an archer getting ready to fire an arrow. Orden was too late to realize why she was doing this. Right on target the arrow hit a perfect head shot. It didn't do much damage despite being a super-effective hit, but that was not the reason why he was face-palming right now.
"ENDEAVOR" It was because he fell for the same trick twice, shame on you Orden shame on you. Sweat came off of DG's head as she frantically charge forward, you and Golurk both knew there was no point to delaying the inevitable. With one thud the Phantom Giant was knocked on his back, having had his vitality reduced to the same as his enemy. But wait there's more! And i know your going to interrupt me so I'll just let you say it. "GRASS KNOT" DG eyes began to glow green as blades of grass rose up from the ground, slowly ensnaring and constricting Golurk until CRACK. Orden returned Golurk to his poke ball. "You fought valiantly. Archaludon! Be the bridge that connects us to victory! The Metal Ray Cannon touched down with determination in his eyes. Like Golurk, Archaludon already knows the score. He's ready to get going.
"So let's get it going with a Dragon Pulse!" Archaludon fired a stream of purple energy in the shape of a dragon from his mouth. DG responded by using Mirror Coat to send the attack right back at him with twice the power. Archaludon tanked the hit, and became more resilient for doing so. "CLOSE COMABT" DG flash stepped to Archaludon and then proceeded to perform a series of complicated fighting techniques I'm too lazy go into detail about at close proximity. Not a single one of those blows got him to react by the way, he also got more resilient because of it. DG backed away to gain some distance. "EARTH POWER" DG slammed her hands into the ground and from underneath Archaludon, gold energy erupted with enough force to send him flying. Yet he wasn't phased by this and became more resilient for doing so. "Flash Cannon!" The Alloy Rail Gun Gathered light energy around him and then fired it straight down towards his target. But DG-"SUCKER PUNCH" ...........Surprised him with a surprise attack. But once again, Archaludon was unphased, and got more resilient for doing so. DG was staring to worry. "Let's try that again, Flash Cannon!" This time there was no need to gather energy or to aim. But that didn't matter becu-"SUCKER PUNCH" I hope you realize how lucky your are that I UXIE: ORIGIN OF KNOWLEGDE has decided to just be a humble narrator. What no gibberish comeback this time? "tertertered" What? Oh! You tired! Well that's good news! For our trainer here.
"Again! Flash Cannon!" "REST" DG closed her eyes and went to sleep before being shot down. Archaludon landed perfectly still while DG got sent into the same crater that was made by Golurk. She wouldn't come up for two minutes, likely caused by her using rest. When she did jump out of the hole she was surprised to find out that at no point did Orden tried to attack her while she was venerable. "This is a friendly match between two buddies! Orden proclaimed. "Besides, did you forget that you can use sleep talk?" Well did you? "Ettobleh" DG said while doing a silly pose. Orden chuckled before commanding his Metal Ray Cannon to use his special signature. "Electro Shot!" Archaludon's body surged with electricity then began to change and morph into a cannon that oddly enough looked like a bridge. DG was pondering to herself, She knows that the smart thing to do is stop Orden's Archaludon from firing. But at the same time she kinda want's to have another clash. So against her better judgement she starts plotting something nasty(again). Orden's Archaludon was ready to take the shot. Likewise, DG was prepared to meet him head on with a beam of her own. A Hyper one.
"Fire!" "HYPER BEAM" A high voltage shot of electricity was fired and a giant stream of pure white energy came from DG's hands. The clash was magnificent. The ground shook, the forest trees blew wildly from the impact, and some pieces of the temple were shattered from the resulting shockwave that came from the clash. And much to DG's surprise she ended up winning the beam struggle. I guess you also forgot you had used nasty plot in your fight with Hisui-Arcanine. "Ettobleh." Regardless though, despite having more special attack it seems that all your hyper beam did was grazed him slightly. He did have a little bit of damage on him though. Emphasis on a little. And for the sixth and final time, He becomes so resilient that no physical attack can meaningfully damage him anymore. At this point DG was completely flabbergasted and, as if Orden had read her mind.
"Stamina, it doesn't matter if it's a physical or special hit. Archaludon's defense will increase no matter what." Did he really just explain his Pokémon's ability to the enemy again? "Don't bother with Gastro Acid, Archaludon has already reached max defense. And you decided to use Hyper Beam. Which means your a sitting duck." He's right you know, you did kinda screw yourself with using a move that tires the user out too quickly. "Now Archaludon, it's time we finish this! Use Body Press!" The Hulking Skyscraper launched himself into the air, and then came crashing down on DG. Who could do nothing but look up in the sky in abject horror.
CRASH Pancake, DG was a pancake now. She was also in unbearable pain but that's besides the point. Eventually she got back up, with Orden and Archaludon ready to greet her. "I've trained my Archaludon in BOTH defenses so that when his ability activates, he need not WORRY about any special attacking moves that comes his way. And you activated Stamina SIX times! He's VIRTUALLY undefeatable now! You can brute force you way with a battle of attrition and MAYBE it could work but just exactly how tired will you be by the end huh? Don't forget i have a FULL team of six, and while you may have brought me down to TWO, my previous mons made sure to leave an IMPACT. So if you somehow, someway, managed to defeat Archaludon you will STILL have to contend with my ace Slowbro! You can't use Rest forever DG! Give up now and admit defeat! Otherwise my Archaludon will put you through a MARATHON the likes of which NO ONE has ever seen before! Right Arcahludon!...Arcahludon?"
Wouldn't it be funny if Archaludon had fell asleep because of that monologue? Yeah i know it would be, but that's not the reason why he's snoring right now. DG used Hypnosis. "DREAM EATER" FAWOOOMMMMM Annnnnnddd just like that Archaludon was gone! Oh, and DG restored a good chunk of her health as well. "You know what? that's on me, i made the mistake of counting my Pidgey's before they hatched." Orden returned his "undefeatable" Pokémon to his ball. Before sending out his Ace Orden took a minute to catch himself. Huh, funny, I could've sworn that the sun was up just a few minutes ago. It is still day time though, evidenced by the sky being orange but it won't be long now until the night comes. Guess time really does fly when your having fun.
Orden looks over to his friend, she was lying on her back. "Your tired too huh?" DG raised her hands into a thumbs up. "We've been fighting for quite awhile now, so long that the sun is starting set. What do you say we save the island adventure for tomorrow, so that we can regain our energy. Sound Good?" DG raised her other hand into a thumbs up. "Cool." Orden said before suddenly laying down beside her. DG got a little flustered at him getting so close but regained her composure. He looks at her, she looks at him, and the both of you just stare into each other eyes. Orden then grabs her cheek, very stretchy, soft, and obviously not human. "You know, not that I've gotten a good look, your actually very cute. In a creepy skinwalker failing to be a skinwalker kind of way." DG does not know what that means but appreciates the compliment. The two of you continue to gaze at each other for few more minutes before deciding to get back up again. She moves to her side of the arena, he moves to his. Orden takes out his dive ball, the same ball he used to catch his ace while diving through the Abyssal Ruins. He put the ball close to his chest and closed his eyes, then smiled.
"Slowbro.... come meet your new friend!" Slowbro being Slowbro touched down..... face first into the ground and quickly got back up acting as if nothing happened. Both you and DG chuckled at the "dynamic" entry. "Hey, how's it going." Said the hermit with a shell biting his tail. "SUWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! DG exclaimed in shock. "What? Never seen a talking Pokémon before? I think she's surprised by the fact that your speaking human. You explained. "OH yeah! I AM speaking human right now aren't i? Said Slowbro as if he had just came to some grand realization. "Hoovow?" DG said as if she was asking question. SlowBro answered. "Far as i can remember even as a Slowpoke I've always been able to speak human. Maybe I'm just special." "Maybe." Orden interjected. "But it's getting late and I'm sure the village is waiting for they leader to comeback, so what do you say about continuing this conversation another time?" Slowbro scratches his stomach and then shouts his name as loud as he can. This is how he get's into the fighting mood.
"Alright pal, Let's get it going! Orden pulls out a mega-bracelet from the overly large backpack left at the tree and slid it onto his wrist. Orden and his Ace closed they're eyes and began to resonate with each other, he taps the keystone on his bracelet and raises his arm into the air. "Mega-Evolution! Go Beyond! Slowbro!. The Shell on Slowbro's tail grew to the point where it looks it was consuming him, he was now balancing on his tail. That's it, that's the transformation sequence. "Gee?" Yeah i found it underwhelming too, He may be this guy's ace but he's still a Slowbro. "Alright Slowbro, use Ice Beam!" Slowbro breathe an icy-cold energy from his mouth. DG conjured up a Light Screen to reduce the damage. But the wall of light that she made looked cracked and was Flickering, it still weakened the incoming attack from ice beam but not to the extent it normally would. "Psyshock!" Orden commanded. "Ready for a lightshow? Asked Slowbro. "No! well that's too bad because." Slowbro called forth a bunch of light blue, pink, and dark purple balls of strange psychic energy around DG. "Ones coming your way!"
"AGILT-AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" That didn't sound good. DG wasn't able to successfully dodge all of them but She did avoid some. Orden paused for a moment. "Slowbro..... hit her with a Scald." Slowbro noticed Orden's Hesitation but choose to ignore it. "One boiling hot beam of my saliva coming- SuCkEr pUNcH" DG landed a direct hit straight to the dome..... That barely affected Slowbro. "Right up." A stream of hot liquid was fired point blank in DG's face, sending her back to her side of the arena. Before she could even think of getting up her body began to feel hot, too hot. "You've been burned, your physical attack has now been cut in half, what's your next move?" Orden said with a look of concern on his face. I suppose now would be the time address the-"Bleeeeegghhhhh!!!" Copperajah in the room.
A purple bubbly substance dripping from your mouth onto a puddle of the same substance and your body. Your Body is becoming unstable. "DG, I know my monologue was long-winded and while it may have seem wrong at the ti- AroMaTherApY" A light blue trail that carried a calming sent surrounded DG, curing her of the affliction. She then dropped to the ground. "Your overexerting yourself, stop that." Orden with genuine concern on his face, tries to reach out to you. You bat his hand away and make some distance. "The fact that your collapsing should tell you that your exhausted! You can't continue DG! Your Light Screen couldn't fully reduce the damage of Ice Beam. Sucker Punch, despite being super-effective did nothing and we just witnessed what Aromatherapy caused. If you keep this up struggling to perform these moves will be the last thing you have to worry about." Orden pleaded with DG. "Look, I'll forfeit the match alright? He proceeded to take out his Dive ball. "You can have this win." As he was going to return his ace a rock was thrown at his head, causing him to drop his poke ball. "What's your problem? He shouted. "I said I'll give... up?"
When he turns to look at DG, she was contorting, shifting, breaking. "TRANSFORM" DG's body warped and morphed into something Orden never seen before. What Pokémon is this? It was small, had a light blue color, lacked eyes and it's entire body was pulsating. Like a beating heart. "MEEWWWWW!!!!" "What!?" What indeed, to think she would try to copy mew form memory. All things considered, she got kind of close. "MMMMMEEEEWWWW!!!!" Orden looks up. Draco Meteor. "Slowbro! Ice Beam!" Slowbro aimed upwards and shot a huge beam of ice-cold energy. He was able to destroy most of them, but some ended up sneaking pass. Orden rushed behind his ace to gain cover. Once the few meteors that got past the Ice Beam collided with the ground Orden found both himself and Slowbro being bombarded with Ancient Power. "There's only one reason why anyone would use that move." Orden thought. And sure enough his fear came true as he peeked behind his slowbro to see DG glowing ominously in her new form. "MEEEWWW!!!!" From the sky, a shining purple pillar was about to come down at the speed of light. Orden turned to Slowbro, who turned to Orden. "We both know I'm not fast enough to escape." Slowbro said a matter of factly "Yeah." Orden agreed. "Which is why I'm gonna need you to use Slack Off and pray to Arceus that you having a resistance to your own type is enough to save us." Slowbro silently Slacked Off, and Orden held tightly.
The pillar came down, engulfing the both of you and causing the island to shake uncontrollably for 10 minutes. For 10 minutes Orden and Slowbro had to hold on for dear life and pray. Eventually the two lost consciousness. When they next awoke they found themselves not in the afterlife but in an open field. The surrounding forest, the temple grounds and even the temple itself was practically gone. Absolutely nothing in the area remined, save you three. As Orden lied there on the ground besides Slowbro he could see DG. She looked like she was in a lot of pain but she also looked sad. "Why?" you say to yourself out loud. "She doesn't want you to leave." the voice beside you answered. "She wants you to stay, battling you has been the most fun she's ever had in good long time. Not to mention the fact that you look somewhat similar to her trainer." Slowbro explained with a pained expression. "Why is it that you only become this smart when my life is in danger?" Orden questioned.
"Wellllll." Slowbro used Slack Off before answering. "It's because half the time i don't think, nor do i feel like thinking. Much prefer it if you did all the heavy lifting when it comes to that department." Slowbro then pointed towards the Embryo in the sky. "So what's your plan to deal with that thing?" Asked Slowbro. "Well first." Orden hopped onto Slowbro's back. "I need to get in close." Said Orden. "How close?" Asked Slowbro. "Close enough to leap off of you and onto her." Orden said with determination in his eyes. "Water or ice?" Asked Slowbro. "Both, water for movement and ice for defending. I'll let you know when you need to switch." Slowbro turned around and started to propel himself forward with Scald.
DG, now having regained her consciousness from realizing all of her energy into that attack saw Orden heading straight for her. "MMMMMMMEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" She unleashed a Leaf Storm. "Alright Slowbro, Time for some evasive maneuvers." First, the two of you dodge to the left to avoid storm one, then to the right to avoid storm two, Orden commands Slowbro to use Ice Beam on the third, shattering the barrage of razor leaves coming they're way, Slowbro tanks the fourth then uses Scald on the ground to send him and Orden flying into the air avoiding the fifth, and once they were close enough Orden jumped off, weathered the final Leaf storm on his own annnnndddddddddd.... "Gotcha!"
Orden embraced DG and held her tightly. "I'll come back, I'll jot this place down on my map. I'll make sure to return here after my time spent in other regions battling and exploring. And I'll be sure to tell you all about it. And once I'm old and have Achieved my dream of becoming a Frontier Brain? I'll stay here, and live out the rest of my day's with you. Sound good?" DG looks at Orden with a smile, guess that's a yes. The two of you began to fall. Slowbro having reverted back into his base form, rushed to catch the both of you. Slowly DG began to revert back into her true form while Orden fell Unconscious. Again. The next day Orden woke up in a simple bed on the beach. His team was waiting to greet him. All of them were happy to see they're trainer open his eyes.
"Hey guys." Orden's voice was weak but it didn't hurt for him to speak. "Good morning sunshine! Shouted A familiar voice from afar, it was your ace bringing some food and supplies in hands. Alongside a new overly large backpack on his back. He sat them down next to you. "I was able to smooth things over with the locals, they said that so long as you and DG limit yourselves to only ONE battle and DON'T destroy anymore of they're island and DO NOT tell any other human about this place you can comeback. But ONLY for one day." Slowbro explained. "Yeah, that's fair. Didn't exactly leave a good first impression did i?" "Nope, you most certainly did not." Slowbro chuckled. "Honestly? Your very lucky they're leader took a liking to you." "DG." Orden was about to ask for her but was caught off guard by Slowbro eyes turning into dots.
"DG?" "T-H-E-O-N-E-A-N-D-O-N-L-Y!" In a flash of light your ace Pokémon turned into your precious gooey friend." "DG ACK ACK KOFF KOFF!" "Easy there buddy your still recovering." A familiar voice. Orden turns around to see His ace, for reals this time. "Were you there the whole the time?" "Maybe, maybe not. but that's not the important part. It's this." Slowbro hands Orden his Rotom Phone. On the screen a bunch of trainers are battling each other at night. The participants are knocking each out. Trying to earn enough points to rank up. Judging from the tower in the background this is probably taking place in Luminose city. And sure enough, i was right. The end of the video showcased the title, Z-A Royale.
"Looks interesting, plus we'll be killing two birds with one stone. I've never been to Kalos before. So this will be a fresh new experience." Orden got off his bed and went to go hug DG. "Don't worry, I'm gonna keep my promise." "Y-O-U-B-E-T-T-E-R-O-R-E-L-S-E!" DG spelled out. "Been trying to get her to speak human." Slowbro chimed in. "Been a work in progress." "I can her understand now, that's what matters most of all." Orden said while pinching DG's cheeks. After taking some time to rest, you gather your things, returned you team except for Golurk to they're poke balls and set off for kalos. "W-A-I-T O-R-D-E-N!" DG was running with something in her hands. "Is that for me?" DG nodded her head. "What is it?" From her hands DG presented...... A badge in the shape of a ditto!" "F-O-R-D-E-F-E-A-T-I-N-G-M-E-I-N-B-A-T-T-L-E." Orden hug DG before taking it and placing it with the other Badges he's collected. He then hopped onto Golurks shoulder. "G-O-O-D-B-Y-E!" Said DG. "Farewell." Said Orden. And so Golurk blasted off into the Horizon.

The End.
