N looked at me and smiled then looked at Aurora and Melody. He then looked at Dandelion and Kusagi. He finally looked back at Shinji and Vain. "Armahawk, Brick Break."
Armahawk screeched and flew toward Rhyperior at high speeds. Rhyperior formed a protective barrier over himself and blocked the barrage of kicks and hits from Armahawk. Armahawk took flight and soared around.
Rhyperior began to fire rocks at Armahawk from his hand. Armahawk evaded the rocks and swooped back down and struck Rhyperior with a powerful kick.
Armahawk's attack did barely any damage to Rhyperior and Rhyperior noticed it. He tried to fly away, but was hit with Rhyperior's tail. He cried out and crashed onto the ground. Rhyperior began to form a large rock using the rocks that come out the holes of his hand and it was surrounded by red aura.
"Do it. Rock Wrecker!" Shinji bellowed.
Rhyperior slammed the rock down and created a large cloud of dirt and smoke. He panted and the rock crumbled. He cried out in triumph.
Shinji looked at N and noticed he was still smiling. "Heh. You are a freak...Smiling even in the most drastic of times."
N shook his head and his gray eyes shined softly. "I'm smiling... because your attack missed.."
"What?" Shinji asked then noticed Zoroark behind Rhyperior.
"Zoroark! Copycat!" N commanded.
Zoroark cried out and began to form a large rock in between his claws then fired the rock at Rhyperior. The rock slammed into Rhyperior, sending him flying and crashing through the digital wall. Zoroark cried out in triumph.
Shinji looked in disbelief. His ace was easily defeated by his own signature move. He hurried over to Rhyperior.
Empoleon and Magearna clashed multiple times. Empoleon went after Magearna's Soul Heart and she noticed it then evaded the attack quickly. Magearna began to rotate her gears and increased her speed and attack power even more.
"Magearna! Lock On!" I commanded.
Magearna locked onto Empoleon.
"Empoleon! Destroy her Soul Heart! Hydro Cannon!" Vain bellowed.
Empoleon opened his beak and a light blue orb of energy appeared then he fired a powerful beam of water energy at Magearna. Magearna held her arms out and four transparent square barriers appeared in front of her. The Hydro Cannon slammed into one of the barriers then caused an explosion.
The smoke cleared and the first barrier shattered. Empoleon fell onto one knee and panted.
"Now! Zap Cannon!" I bellowed and my battle aura surged.
Magearna opened her hand and created a yellow orb of energy with a black and white center in her hand. She fired the orb at Empoleon and slammed into Empoleon. He cried out then an explosion happened. He slammed into the digital wall then fell onto the ground. He grunted heavily as he was now paralyzed.
"The voices of your Pokemon. They don't show compassion or respect. They show anger and malice. It saddens me.." N said and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes and his hair shadowed his eyes. "That only means you mistreat your Pokemon. I must liberate them."
Melody and Dandelion grunted and held themselves as they felt N's Battle Aura. They fell to their knees then Aurora and Kusagi checked on them respectively. They looked at N and were sweating.
Vain watched his Empoleon get up. "Empoleon! Hyper Beam N!"
Empoleon cried out and fired a powerful black and purple beam of energy at N. The beam hit N and caused an explosion.
"N!" I yelled.
The smoke cleared and N had a protective barrier over himself. He rose his hand and the Light Stone appeared above his hand. The Light Stone shot up to the air and transformed into Reshiram and it roared.
Aurora looked at Reshiram in awe and watched it gracefully land on the ground. She and Melody stood up and watched Reshiram.
"Now the battle truly begins. Show me your true Ideals and I will show you MY Truth!" N said and smirked, his eyes shined a soft blue.
~~~~~
Azalea finished packing for the trip to the top of Ragnu Peak and tried to call me. She noticed I wasn't answering and called Aurora. She noticed she picked up.
"Aurora—"
"Team Sync is attacking us at Flowdai!" Aurora said on the phone in a panic.
"What?!" Azalea asked in shock.
"They are stopping us from seeing Ragnarok!" Aurora said and squeaked as she dodged a fireball from a Team Sync member.
"I'll be right there!" Azalea said then hung up and hurried out the house. "Midori! We need to go!"
Midori stopped cleaning and watched Azalea rush out th house. She hurried after her and the two quickly made their way to Flowdai Central.
"So you work for Team Sync huh. This is how low you're going? What about the lessons of Professor Kukui?! The Island Kahunas! Have you just forgotten about all of that?!" I asked as I glared at Vain.
"In this world, only the strong will survive and the weak shall fall. I only join the side of the absolute strongest. You're weak even with that Mythical in your party! You'll never be stronger than me!" Vain said. "Electivire! Destroy him!"
"Magearna! Let's stay strong!" I bellowed.
Magearna dodged Electivire's Fire Punch then counted with a powerful Flash Cannon, blowing him away. Electivire slid backwards and broke through the gray beam then rushed toward Magearna then used his tail to keep her in place.
Dartrix flew toward Electivire and struck him with a powerful Brave Bird, blowing him away. Servine ran behind her and the two ran and flew around Electivire, creating a tornado around Electivire. Cinfawn fired a powerful bolt of flames at the tornado and caused it to go ablaze. Oshawott threw a Water Pulse at the blazing tornado and caused an explosion.
Vain smirked and took his mask off then took off his cloak. "So that's the way you wish to play things? Well I'm all up for it! Let us finish what we started two years ago!"
I glared at Vain then watched him throw a Pokeball forward. A Garchomp emerged from the Pokeball and landed on the ground. She roared and glared at me. She charged at me and went for a Dragon Claw at me. Glauslug fired a beam of water at Garchomp and she groaned.
Aurora glared at Vain then grunted. "You will not get away with this, Vain! Evoli! Fresh Snow Forme!"
Eevee howled and her body began to release icy aura and shined a bright light blue color. She evolved into a Glaceon and cried out.
"I'm sorry, Aurora. But I can not let you interfere." Kusagi said and watched Pignite walk forward.
Aurora looked at Kusagi and grunted. "You're a Team Sync member?"
Kusagi nodded and prepared for battle. "I won't allow you to interfere with our plans. Now...we need your Ragnu Bracelets. Please make it easy.."
Aurora stared at Kusagi then glared. "Evoli, Bubble Jet Forme."
Eevee began to change evolutions and changed into a Vaporeon. She growled at Kusagi and Pignite. Glauslug cried out and got ready for battle.
Kusagi closed his eyes and pointed. "Defeat them, and take their Bracelets."
Pignite was hesitant, but obeyed then charged toward Vaporeon and Glauslug. Kusagi tossed a second Pokeball and a Hawlucha landed then dashed forward to assist Pignite.
~~~~~
Melody stared at Dandelion and smirked then giggled. She covered her left eye with her hand then began laughing. She looked at Dandelion and her right eye shined ominously and she had a wicked smirk on her face. Dandelion could see tears form in Melody's eyes.
"Traitor." Melody hissed and began to grow extremely angry. "You traitor!"
"Mel—"
"Shut up!" Melody yelled and panted then took a step forward. "You left me for this long...and now you work for Team Sync?! Have you gone insane?!"
Dandelion squeaked softly and began tearing up. She bit her lip and looked at Melody sadly. "Mel...I never wanted to join them. I had no choice...they took my Pikaboo from me. I'm nothing without her. The only way I could get her back was to join them! I hate it there, I hate Vain! I don't want to do this anymore..."
Melody looked at Dandelion then held her hand out. "Then take my hand! Axel...and Aurora and all of my friends will protect you!"
Dandelion reached out to Melody then groaned when a Thunderbolt hit her. She fell to the ground and grunted. She screamed as another Thunderbolt hit her body then she passed out.
Melody's eyes widened as she stared at Dandelion. She watched a man pick her body up and looked up at him.
The man was a tall, muscular man with tanned skin, red eyes, and long golden hair. He wore a white button up shirt tucked into black pants with a red belt. He wore black boots with golden belts on them. He wore a black ornate commander coat with golden shackles around the sleeves.
"My sister...what did you do to my sister?!" Melody yelled.
"I neutralized her. A sibling bond is powerful. Against you she's powerless. If you want her back, defeat me." He said and tossed forward a black Pokeball.
A Mega Lucario with black fur appeared in front of Melody and stared at her ominously. Melody felt Lucario's energy and felt no form of soul within his body. She took a step backwards and began to hyperventilate then ran away out of fear.
The man smirked and recalled his "Pokemon". He walked away with Dandelion over his shoulder.
~~~~~
Shinji went for an attack on N, but each time he tried to hit him a protective barrier blocked Shinji's attack. He went for the next attack and brought through his barrier and stopped his fist at N's face. He stared at N and looked at his blank face.
He shuddered and backed away. He jumped backwards. "Lycanroc! Strike him down!"
Midnight Form Lycanroc snarled and dashed toward N. Reshiram looked down at Lycanroc and he stopped. N smiled and looked at Lycanroc. He spoke to Lycanroc and Lycanroc nodded then stood beside N.
Shinji looked surprised and stared at N. "Wh-What..?"
"I've simply shared my Ideals with Lycanroc. I do not disagree with the Ideals of Human and Pokemon co-existing in harmony, but I disagree with the way people like you treat their Pokemon. The Truth is people and pokemon can live together, the Ideal is to live harmoniously, but one can not achieve that dream because greed of humans like you wield Pokemon for the wrong things." N said.
Azalea and Midori made it to Flowdai Central and noticed N battling Shinji, Kusagi battling against Aurora, and Vain battling against me. They noticed Melody was missing until they noticed her running toward me.
"Axel! Some man took my sister away! We have to go get her!" Melody cried out. She noticed my face and felt my hatred. She looked at Vain and noticed his smirk.
"Interesting, very interesting! You've held up longer than most would against my full power! A team full of first and second stage Pokemon against my Sinnoh Champion Team. You're a very interesting battler. I don't understand how you do it or what your secret is, but I see that look in your eyes. The look of pure hatred." Vain chuckled.
Aurora grunted and slid backwards from an explosion. "Slugger!"
Glauslug whined softly and went limp and fell to the ground. Pignite looked down on Glauslug then looked at Aurora.
Aurora grunted and closed her eyes tightly. "I'm so weak..! Why...why can't I just be stronger?!" Aurora said and fell to her knees.
Vain looked at Aurora and chuckled. "Look at her. Even with her ace, Eevee...she's still weak. Armahawk doesn't obey her. Glauslug is pathetic. And her Eevee is average at best. You all should just give up now."
Kusagi walked forward and sighed softly. "It's over Aurora. If you give us the bracelet, we will leave you alone."
Kusagi stopped walking and grunted when he felt my Battle Aura. Everyone except Aurora looked at me.
"Aurora ISN'T weak! When we first ran into Team Sync at Ragnu City, we defeated them! She defeated a Grunt on her own! She held her own against Flora! She's a lot stronger than you think! I'm not gonna sit here and let you slander her name!" I yelled.
My Pokemon cried out and cheered on Aurora.
Aurora looked up and heard my Pokemon. She looked at them with tears in her eyes.
N and Shinji watched. N smiled at me and noticed Reshiram take interest in me.
"The Truth is that she's stronger than she was when we were in Alola. Her goal is to be stronger and I will help her no matter what! So please Aurora! Get up and keep fighting! Show her the True Bond between you and your Pokemon! Let us fight Team Sync together!" I said and looked at Aurora.
Aurora looked up at me and wiped her tears then stood up. She smiled and nodded. "Your words speak to me...as always. I can feel it in my soul..."
Aurora looked at Vaporeon and Glauslug. She closed her eyes and held her hands together. "Glauslug..."
Glauslug looked back at Aurora and tilted his head.
"Let's keep doing our best. I believe in you more than anything! Our true potential will be realized. If we don't defeat Team Sync now, our realization can never be realized! So Resonate with me!" Aurora cried out and her Battle Aura surrounded her body.
Glauslug cried out and his body shined brightly. His body grew longer, his tentacles formed closer together to resemble wings. His body began to look closer to that of a dragon. Once his evolution finished he was shown to have evolved into Glaudrake.
Aurora's eyes lit up and she looked at Glauslug in awe and smiled excitedly. "Slugger!! You evolved!"
Glaudrake cried out and his water energy grew even stronger. Vaporeon cried out and felt even more determined.
Aurora looked at Kusagi and smirked. "I am grateful for having Axel at my side no matter what, for him and my Pokemon, I will now defeat you!"
Kusagi looked at Aurora then smirked and stepped backwards. "Alright, let's start Round Two then."
