Chereads / To Be A Master / Chapter 5 - Team Synergy

Chapter 5 - Team Synergy

Lily walked into the Shopping District and noticed the Team Sync Goons. Melody, Aurora, and I made it soon after. I noticed their outfits and stared at them.

They wore white military outfit with their sigil on the back of their outfits. I noticed a few Ragnu native pokemon and a few familiar pokemon like Riolu, Houndour, and Escavalier.

"My, my..~ Fashionable entrance as always, Rosemary~ Seems like you've brought me some new toys to play with..~" A woman said.

I look up and noticed a woman sitting on the top of a small building.

The woman had soft peach colored skin, light blue eyes, and a visible fang when her mouth was closed. She wore red eyeshadow to match with her ace, Zoroark. She wore a long sleeve corset top with black fur around the cuffs of the top and around the collar. She had on black pants and heels with a slight slit on the pants. Her hair was blood red with few black spots on the edges. She kept it in a messy low ponytail with a large blue yokai bead keeping the ponytail together.

"Kagami. When will you all actually give up?" Lily asked and had her arms crossed.

Kagami hopped off the roof and landed in front of Lily and smirked. "You're lucky you didn't run into my sister. I decided to take it easy on Ragnu City today. I only want three things. One, I want the Ragnu Bracelets you're keeping in your lab. Two, I need the three starter Pokemon you're keeping. Three, I will need you to come with me."

"All three requests have been denied due to one simple thing. I no longer hold possession over any of them, but what I can give you is an old fashion beating." Lily said and her lab coat flowed as she grabbed a Pokeball from her belt.

"Zoroark. Looks like we are taking things by force." Kagami said.

Zoroark growled and her eyes shined. She rushed forward to attack Lily. The bystanders watching exclaimed as Zoroark attacked Lily. Lily dodged the attacks and tossed her pokeball in the air. A Pokemon landed on the ground and blocked Zoroark's next attack.

"Irabull, it's time to get serious." Lily said then her hair turned a light blue and the rose opened and a orange orb shined, causing a Sunny Day.

Irabull was a minotaur with a red body, black horns, and golden eyes. He had golden rings around his horn and a golden nose ring. He had yellowish flame as his mane and fur. He had armor around his arms and hooves. His tail had a flame at the end of it.

"This is my Ace, Irabull. You know, I've been a Pokemon Professor for years and I love to battle. My Sunny Rose activates when my spirit is on fire. My Grass and Fire Pokemon will never fall when I'm on fire." Lily said and smirked.

Kagami smirked and got into her stance. "Zoroark! Let's lay waste on this dying flower and take everything she has!"

Zoroark let out a powerful bellow and her dark aura surged powerfully around her body. Irabull let out a roar and his fire aura surged powerfully around his body. A digital arena, a rather large one formed around Ragnu City.

"Yeah you all might wanna get ready. We are entering a team battle. In these battles you can use all of your Pokemon but only one at a time. Leave Kagami to me! You all handle the goons!" Lily said.

"Golett!" Melody commanded and Golett emerged out of its Pokeball and saluted.

"Evoli let's do this!" Aurora said and Eevee cried out then ran forward.

I looked at Cinfawn and smiled at her. I nodded and watched her prance forward. "Together, Cinfawn!"

Snivy watched me closely and used Vine Whip to get up to a safe distance away from the battle.

The Riolu, Escavalier, and Houndour rushed forward toward us. Their trainers looked at us.

"No need for weapons, Team Sync. They are just teenagers. When you beat them just tie them up." Kagami said.

Melody smirked and her eye shined brightly. "Tie us up..? I would like to see that happen! Golett! Rush them down!" Melody commanded and her dark aura rushed across her body.

Golett rushed forward and the energy inside began to shine and allowed Golett to move quickly toward Riolu. Riolu was surprised and blocked Golett's punch then grunted when he slid backwards.

Aurora grunted as Melody's aura was wild. She moved away from the aura. She looked at Eevee and noticed she was grunting. Eevee grunted and golden rings began to slightly glow on her fur. Her fur began to turn black and she growled. Eevee howled and her body glowed a light purple light. The light around her body began to slowly break and revealed an Umbreon.

Umbreon let out a powerful cry and the rings on her body shined brightly. Aurora looked at the Umbreon in awe. Umbreon surrounded herself with white aura and dashed toward Houndour at invisible speeds then began to strike Houndour quickly from all angles. Houndour whimpered softly then yelped when Umbreon struck her with a barrage of Double Kicks then blasted her away with a Dark Pulse.

Melody watched Umbreon and chuckled a bit. "Such dark power..."

"Evoli wait up!" Aurora said then grunted as she ran after Umbreon and Houndour.

Houndour's trainer ran after them as well. She was giving Houndour commands to try to end Umbreon's barrage.

Escavalier hovered in the sky and looked down at Cinfawn. His red eyes shined. He fired a single light green needle trailing dark green light at her from his arm. Cinfawn noticed it and hurried out of the way of the projectiles then cried out when it exploded when it hit the ground. The impact of the explosion flung her into a building.

Melody watched and scoffed. "Weak."

Snivy watched and had her arms crossed. She closed her eyes and sighed.

Cinfawn stood up slowly and stood her ground.

"Powder! Think about how you battled against Veridian to save Artemis!" I called out.

Cinfawn looked at me and remembered how she dashed into action to save Rowlet. She nodded then looked at Escavalier. He looked down at Cinfawn then began to float down. He surrounded his body with light blue energy then moved so fast it looked like he was teleporting. Cinfawn looked surprised and frantically searched around for Escavalier.

"He's using Agility! Powder use your environment!" I yelled.

Cinfawn cried out and began to run around. I ran after her and Escavalier's trainer also began to run. Cinfawn ran around a light post to try and confuse Escavalier but it wasn't working. I vaulted over a rail then grunted as we had entered a plaza.

"Everyone go to safety!" I warned.

Escavalier's arms shined then a light blue water aura surrounded his arms and hardened into water blades. He appeared in front of Cinfawn and struck her with a barrage of Razor Shell attacks. He knocked her away and fired blades of water at Cinfawn, hitting her and causing explosions.

Cinfawn crashed against a car and cried out. Cinfawn slowly got up and unleashed a powerful bleat and her fiery aura surged powerfully around her body. Her eyes shined brightly and she charged at Escavalier.

"Escavalier! Block it now!" Escavalier's trainer commanded.

He blocked the Flame Charge and grunted. Cinfawn jumped backwards then dashed toward Escavalier then pivoted into two powerful Blaze Kicks, striking him with both kicks then turned and fired a powerful burst of flames at him, blowing him away.

Escavalier flew backwards and fired a barrage of green needles at Cinfawn. Cinfawn bellowed as she charged up by using Bulk Up. The green needles struck her body and exploded, but it did nothing to her. She stomped on the ground and smoke came from her nose. A powerful flame surged around her body then she charged at Escavalier.

Escavalier used Iron Defense and covered his body with armor. Cinfawn bellowed as she slammed into Escavalier with her White Luck Boosted Flare Blitz. Escavalier cried out and his armor turned red. An explosion happened and Escavalier was launched into a building, crashing into it and falling on the ground.

"Escavalier!" Escavalier's trainer yelled then ran toward him.

I hurried to Cinfawn and noticed she had taken heavy recoil damage after her Flare Blitz. I held her in my arms and smiled. "You did great...now rest up.."

Cinfawn gave a weak cry and nuzzled me then began to rest. Snivy watched and smiled a bit then heard an explosion. She turned to see where that explosion came from.

"Golett! Destroy him with your Earth Destruction Finisher!" Melody commanded.

Golett dashed over to Riolu and started with a Low Kick, but Riolu dodged it and struck Golett with a roundhouse kick. Golett let out its cry then recovered and a shadow portal opened behind Riolu then a Shadow Punch launched Riolu toward Golett.

Riolu used Detect and perfectly dodged Golett's Thunder Punch. Riolu went for a counter, but Golett used Protect and perfectly blocked Riolu's strike. Golett countered with a staggering Thunder Punch then struck him with an uppercut using Fire Punch. Golett raised its arms and orange electricity shoots off its hands then formed a white orb of energy above Golett.

The orb of light grew in size and split into eight grey orbs then formed into stones. The stones were surrounded in light orange energy and were launched at Riolu. Once the stones slam into Riolu and send him falling down, Golett grappled his face and twirled around then slammed Riolu into the ground and a large ora get circle appeared under them. Golett's body shined a bright orange.

"Do it! Earth Destruction!" Melody bellowed.

Orange energy erupted from the ground, striking Riolu. Golett's body shined white then it exploded violently. Riolu cried out in pain. The entire city could see the explosion.

Melody had a wicked smirk on her face and her blue eyes shined. "Earth Power combined with Self-Destruct...no one can withstand that much damage!"

The smoke cleared and both Golett and Riolu were on the ground, fainted.

Riolu's trainer sunk to his knees and looked defeated. "Who are these kids..?"

~~~~~

Umbreon and Houndour clashed with tackles then Houndour pushed Umbreon back with a Flamethrower. Umbreon grunted and slid backwards. Umbreon cried out and surrounded her body with dark energy then pulses of dark energy were launched and struck Houndour.

Umbreon began to charge up a Shadow Ball. Houndour grunted and noticed the Shadow Ball then began to charge up a ball of fire. They both launched their attacks and it clashed with one another. Umbreon's Shadow Ball overpowered Houndour's attack then it hit her and exploded.

Houndour crashed into a wall and fell to the ground. Houndour's trainer hurried over to Houndour.

Umbreon let out a triumphant cry then devolved back into an Eevee then panted. Aurora hurried to Eevee and picked her up. Eevee looked happy and closed her eyes to rest. Aurora noticed Zoroark rush across the bridge and taunt Irabull. Irabull roared and launched himself toward Zoroark.

Lily dodged Kagami's attacks then jumped backwards. She parried Kagami's kick then quickly thrusted her hand against Kagami's stomach. Kagami groaned then dodged Lily's next strike then ran off.

"I can definitely see where Azalea gets her style from, but it isn't gonna be enough! Zoroark! Illusion Style!" Kagami commanded.

Zoroark's eyes glow light blue and its body becomes surrounded by a crimson aura. She raised her arms above her head then slammed her arms against the ground. A pink and crimson force field of energy appeared from the aura around Zoroark's arms then began to spread across the field and caused smoke to rise.

Irabull grunted and covered his face from the smoke. The smoke cleared and the force field of energy disappeared as well. Zoroark was gone and so was Kagami.

"They are disguised as something around here...Damn, why did we have to get her this week?" Lily groaned.

"Serperior! Use Grassy Terrain!" A voice called out.

Serperior cried out and her body became outlined with green aura. Serperior's body emitted green rings of energy which spread across the field and turned the ground into grass.

Mom walked forward onto the battlefield and pointed at a chair. "Aim your Solar Beam at that chair."

Serperior cried out and charged up a ball of yellow energy then fired a beam of energy at the chair Mom pointed to. The beam impacted with the chair and an explosion happened.

Zoroark cried out as she was blown away. Kagami was surprised and come out of a barrel. She hurried over to Zoroark and looked at Mom.

"Wh-Whaaa?! No way—the Four Regional Champion?! Freya Moon?!" Kagami said in shock.

Mom giggled and her eyes shined. "You're lucky I decided to not use Hydreigon..~ I can't seem to control myself when Hydren is on the field causing destruction~"

Kagami stood up and grunted. "Tch! We will be back!"

Kagami threw down a smoke bomb and retreated with Zoroark. The digital field disappeared and our battle was won.

[Battle Cleared! Earned ₽21,000!]

Lily reverted to normal and the Drought had disappeared. Her rose closed and her hair went back to her original crimson color. She looked at Mom and smiled. "Hmph...Freya Moon. So the rumors my daughter told me about you are true. You are the champion within four different regions. No wonder she was frightened by your presence."

Mom smiled and looked at Lily. "When I saw the explosions I knew there was trouble happening here. Hopefully Axel and his girlfriends aren't hurt."

"I'm sure they are fine. They are powerful trainers." Lily said.

~~~~~

I reunited with Aurora and Melody then looked at them. We were all carrying out exhausted Pokemon in our arms.

"I was so surprised when Eevee had evolved into Umbreon. It was because of your Dark Energy." Aurora said to Melody.

"When I get into battle mode, I get serious. I don't know how to control my battle aura. I get so excited." Melody said.

Aurora smiled at Melody. "It actual helped us. I've never seen Eevee so agile and swift besides when she's a Jolteon."

I looked at Cinfawn and smiled. "She did good for her first battle. A slow start but when she gets serious...her timidness washes away."

Melody looked at Cinfawn and closed her eyes. "I guess."

Snivy watched us from a building then came back down and called out to me. I looked down at her and scoffed then turned away, but her tail was wagging a bit. She seemed impressed, but that was as much as I was going to get from her.

I smiled at Snivy and looked at the others. "Let's go find Professor Rosemary."

"Yeah." Aurora nodded.

"Sure." Melody said.
