EPISODE 156: A Sync to Remember!

The wind hustles loudly as the sun shines above the Aulmurus colosseum. The patch of grass sways with the breeze and the melody of the oozing wind. Amazing and profound, the time is, as I and Camellia prepares to battle against each other.

"The battle between Camellia and Kalem is about to take place! Each shall use three Pokemons, the battle ends when either side has no longer Pokemons to battle with!" Sir Efron proclaimed as he stood on the center platform. Glade was watching and cheering for us together with the two men wearing shining armors.

"Go! Camellia, Go! Kalem, Go!" Glade and his Pokemons cheered together with guards.

Me and Camellia walked towards the center from the sides of the colosseum. I rubbed my nose as I glared pass through the rustling grass patch. Camellia looked determined as ever as she held her Pokeball tightly.

"For today's terrain, we'll have the jagged rock or the mountain topography!" Sir Efron announced as the floor began to open wide. Me and my friends were shocked as the grassy platform changed into a rocky and jagged terrain.

"You may use the terrain, as a defense, attack, offense, or speed boost! It is all up to you. Please send out your first Pokemon!" Sir Efron instructed as he stepped to the referral platform.

"Alright then, you're up first Glaceon!" Glaceon went out of her Pokeball and stretched. She licked her paw and leaped into action.

"If you're going to use an ice type, then I'll use Delphox. A fire type!" Camellia beamed with determination and threw the Pokeball to the sky! Delphox casts her twig and glared with a fiery passion.

"Let the battle begin!" Sir Efron lifted his hands and proclaimed loudly.

Delphox[500]

Glaceon[500]

"Delphox, use Fire Blast now!"

"Glaceon, hide behind one of the rocks, then use Icicle Spear afterward!"

*Glaceon used the sturdy rocks as a defense! Icicle spear was not very effective.*

Delphox[420]

Glaceon[500]

"Quick Delphox, use Psyshock right now!"

"Glaceon, dodge the-ah!?"

*Delphox's attack was a priority move, her speed made her attack before the foe!*

Delphox[420]

Glaceon[410]

"Now follow it up, with Overheat!"

*The Colosseum began to rage with fire as it beams towards Glaceon! The foe was unable to respond quickly, Overheat was a super effective move!*

Delphox[420]

Glaceon[300]

"Glaceon, don't give up yet!"

"I never said I will, I'm ready to win!" Glaceon smiled and beamed with determination.

"Great! Glaceon, use Ice Fang on Delphox!"

"Delphox, dodge the attack then use Fire Blast!"

*Delphox dodged Ice Fang swiftly! Fireblast was super effective.*

Delphox[420]

Glaceon[230]

"Think Kalem, think!" I uttered to my mind while trying to think of a plan. Glaceon's scars were starting to fill up as she gasped for air.

"Now, use Psyshock again Delphox!"

"Glaceon, hide behind one of the rocks!"

*Glaceon was protected by a sturdy rock again!*

"Great Glaceon, now it's time to use Icicle spear again!"

*Large Icicle spears began to fall from the sky!*

"Quick Delphox, use Fire Blast and melt all those spears!"

<DELPHOX! DEL!>Glaceon's attack was countered with offense!

"Delphox, now use Fire Blast on Glaceon!"

"Glaceon, dodge it!"

*Glaceon's body was too weak to dodge the attack! Fire Blast was a critical hit, and was actually very effective.*

Delphox[420]

Glaceon[0]

"Trainer Kalem, please send out your next Pokemon!" Sir Efron instructed.

"Me Kalem! Me!" Riolu begged and leaped to the stage.

"No, not now Riolu! You're my last Pokemon. For now, it's time for Scizor to debut!"

"Scizor is a double disadvantage against Delphox. Since it's steel and bug, I have the upper hand!" Camellia beamed with determination.

"Hehe! You're forgetting about something, Scizor's speed is incredible!" I beamed with excitement.

"Oh right... I guess it slipped out of my mind. Hehe." Camellia scratched her head and giggled when deep inside, she was extremely worried about Scizor's speed.

"Battle Continue!"

"Scizor, use Flash Cannon!"

"Delphox, counter with Fire Blast!"

"Quick Scizor, go behind Delphox then use Flash Cannon!"

*Scizor dodged the attack swiftly!*

"Oh my, does that Scizor knows how to use the move teleport!?" Sir Efron questioned with shock.

"Nope, Kalem's Scizor is extremely fast!" Glade smiled and explained.

Delphox[300]

Scizor[500]

"Ah!? Um... Delphox, use attract on Scizor!"

"Scizor, don't fall for the attack! Use X-Scissor now!"

*Delphox was unable to use attract right away. Scizor was too fast and attacked Delphox first before Delphox even launched her move.*

"Keep it up Scizor, then use Iron Head!"

*Scizor's head turned gray, as he banged his head on Delphox's head.*

Delphox[0]

Scizor[500]

"Delphox is no longer able to battle, trainer Camellia, please send out your next Pokemon!" Sir Efron instructed.

"Right, Delphox you take a nice nap for now! Come out Misdreavus!"

"So, she's planning to use Hypnosis... heheheh!" I uttered and giggled softly.

"Battle Begin!"

"Quick Misdreavus, use Hypnosis right away!"

"Run around Misdreavus and confuse her!"

*Scizor ran swiftly around Misdreavus. Her eyes tried to keep up with Scizor's fast movement.*

"Now, use Vacuum Wave!"

*Scizor attacked from the side and gathered wind to his arms. Misdreavus was blown away!*

"Kalem is truly amazing..." Camellia uttered with awe as her cheeks blushed slightly red.

Misdreavus[420]

Scizor[500]

"Quick Scizor, use Iron Head right now!"

"Misdreavus, keep track of Scizor!"

<Mis!? Mis!?>Misdreavus looked and tried to follow Scizor but Scizor moved to swiftly. When the time was right, Scizor unleashed his attack.

"Follow it up with X-Scissor!"

"Misdreavus, behind you!" Camellia warned.

<Mis!>Misdreavus was unable to react quickly as Scizor came and chopped her with X-Scissors.

Misdreavus[0]

Scizor[500]

"Misdreavus is unable to battle, Camellia... please send out your last Pokemon!" Sir Efron instructed.

"Thank you Misdreavus, now take a nice break. Twilight darkness, disaster appear now! Absol, fight with me." Camellia chanted and tossed Absol's Pokeball.

<Absol!>Absol licked her paw and glared at Scizor. It was like she didn't care about the speed Scizor bears.

"Battle Begin!"

"I call upon the twilight darkness, heed before our names, grant me the power to stretch higher than the blackest night! Together as one, fight with me Absol, and Mega Evolve!" Camellia chanted as their Z-ring and mega stone began to glow.

Absol evolved into a beast with wings. Her white hanging hair grew longer than before, as her body became slim and majestic. One of her move was replaced with 'Beguiling Twilight'

"Scizor, we don't mind! Use X-Scissors right now!"

"Absol, sense Scizor then use Beguiling Twilight!"

<Ab... .... ... Absol!>Absol closed her eyes and sensed Scizor's movements. She dodged the attack even if Scizor was fast. Scizor was suddenly dragged down just like a strong magnetic pulse trying to pull a metal object. A black eerie portal appeared behind Scizor as thousands of black hand silhouettes began to shatter Scizor into pieces.

"WHAT!?" Glade leaned forward after seeing an extremely fast Pokemon missing a move.

Scizor[300]

Absol[750] MEGA EVOLVE

"Oh no!" I uttered with worry. Scizor got paralyzed gravely.

"Try dodging our attacks now! Absol, use Crush Claw!"

Scizor was unable to move due to its paralyzed body. Crush Claw dealt maximum damage.

Scizor[0]

Absol[750]

"Scizor is unable to battle, trainer Kalem, please send out your last Pokemon!" Sir Efron instructed.

"Alright Scizor, you can rest now. Buddy, you're up next!"

"Don't worry Kalem, leave the rest to me!" Riolu beamed with excitement as he leaped to the stage.

"Let the battle continue!" Sir Efron proclaimed.

"Absol, use Crush Claw on Riolu!"

"Quick Riolu, dodge the attack then use Dizzy punch!"

Absol[600]

Riolu[500]

"Hit Riolu with your Scythe!"

*Riolu blasted back to me...*

Absol[600]

Riolu[500]

"Now, use Beguiling Twilight!"

"Riolu, use Force Palm on the ground!"

<Rio!>The Pokemon beamed with determination as large shock entered the ground. The dark portal waved and suddenly dispersed into large pulses.

"Ah!? How did Riolu cancel the attack?" Camellia questioned.

"Simple, Riolu's force palm caused the dark portal to wave and disperse into pulses. Hehe, Riolu now use Seismic toss on Absol!" I explained and giggled.

Riolu[500]

Absol[620]

"Now, use Dizzy Punch again!"

"Absol, dodge then use Shadow Ball on Riolu!"

*Riolu blasted back to me as he gasped for air. Wounds and scars started to appear on Riolu's body.*

Riolu[420]

Absol[620]

"Riolu, never give up! You can do this buddy." I cheered loudly while Riolu tried to stand.

"I see, so that's how strong their bond is, but shouldn't Riolu be evolving by now!?" Sir Efron questioned while observing Riolu.

"Go Kalem, I can still fight!" Riolu stood and glared at Absol.

"Great job Riolu, now use Force Palm on the ground!"

*Rocks began to splatter above as dust filled the arena.*

"Close your eyes and sense Absol!"

"Absol, you too, then sense Riolu!"

*Absol and Riolu's auras connected and sensed each other. They rushed to the dust with their eyes closed and fought in the center. We couldn't see what was happening inside due to the thick dust, but it was a blind battle for sure. Concentration is important when fighting with your eyes closed.*

<Riolu!>Riolu suddenly blasted back to me as the fog cleared. Absol grinned and smiled.

"Oh no Riolu, don't surrender! Keep at it, use Force Palm on Absol!"

"Dodge it Absol, then use Shadow Ball!"

"Quick Riolu, harness the ball, and send it back to Absol!"

"Wait what!?" Camellia beamed with shock and awe.

*Riolu closed his eyes and sensed the shadow ball heading directly to him. He grabbed the Shadow ball and tossed it back to Absol.

Riolu[320]

Absol[430]

"Absol, fly to the sky, then use Shadow Ball!"

*Absol ascended up to the azure blue sky.*

"Riolu, use force palm on the ground!"

*Large rocks began splatter upwards!*

"Great Riolu, now push those rocks to Absol!"

<Rio! Rio! Rio!>Riolu moved swiftly like Scizor and pushed the stoned heading towards Absol. One of the stones was able to deflect the shadow ball as Absol crashed on the ground.

Absol[300]

Riolu[320]

"Riolu, use Seismic Toss now!"

"Stop the attack with Beguiling Twilight!"

*Riolu's attack was canceled as its body was dragged down. It was too late to use force palm to deflect the attack. A lot of dark hands began to touch and cover Riolu.*

"Riolu!" I uttered with worry.

Riolu[100]

Absol[300]

"Well well, I guess Riolu was not paralyzed. You were lucky this time Kalem! Absol, now use shadow ball and finish Riolu!"

"Riolu, please dodge the attack!"

"Yah!" Riolu tried to dodge the attack but his body was already too feeble.

Riolu[40]

Absol[300]

"Great Absol, use Shadow Ball one more time!"

"Oh no..." Riolu's eyes opened widely as he froze with fear. The shadow ball was heading towards Riolu when suddenly the Tsunagu began to glow. It absorbed the attack just like a black hole.

"Ah haha! Kalem is worthy of the stone!" Sir Efron beamed with excitement and awe.

"So that's how it works..." Camellia examined and observed the events.

"Riolu, we only got one shot so let's do this! Let's mix up your temporary move with our Z-move!" I beamed with determination as I switched out my Z-Crystals.

"We're doomed now Absol..." Camellia uttered with fear.

"Riolu, it's time to show what we're made of! Power, strength, and bond, we are one, and we will fight as one! Use All-Out Pummeling and mix it with your temporary move!" I chanted.

"Oh-ho Absol, you better watch out!" Riolu warned as Absol began to worry. Riolu's move began to combine, as large hands rose from the ground and whacked Absol everywhere.

"Great, All-out Pummeling was mixed with Fighting Sync impact!" Sir Efron complimented as Absol was tossed and played around with large hands.

Absol[0]

Riolu[40]

"Absol is unable to battle, which means this match goes to trainer Kalem and Riolu!" Sir Efron announced.

"We did it again Riolu!" I beamed with joy and happiness as I and Riolu hugged each other tightly.

"Hee hee! Absol, they were strong. Take a nice rest." Camellia complimented and returned Absol to her Pokeball.

"Fighting Sync Impact, that's not bad at all. The closer you are to your Pokemon, the better the temporary moves." Sir Efron explained.

"Really!? That's great. Me and Riolu will grow closer and closer!" I beamed with excitement while Riolu licked my chin.

"I am also surprised that Riolu hasn't evolved yet. I mean, you two are pretty close, but why is Riolu... still Riolu?" Sir Efron questioned.

"That is what I'm wondering Sir Efron, I also don't know why Riolu hesitates to evolve."

"Haha! Only time will tell, come... I'll treat everyone a meal!" Sir Efron smiled and laughed.

"Kalem! Congratulations, you'll be strong as you'll ever be." Camellia smiled and complimented with pale cheeks.

"Thanks Camellia! You and your Pokemons worked hard as well... oops, sorry that was my stomach." I beamed with joy as my stomach began to growl.

"Come on! Let's all grab some Sashimi!" Sir Efron smiled and patted our heads.

"Um... sorry but I don't eat raw fish." Glade apologized.

"Nah it's fine! You can eat Yakitori instead. About Camellia and Kalem, do you like Sashimi?"

"Of course Sir Efron! Hopefully mother's not watching me from above, she doesn't want me to eat raw food."

"Haha! You can have a little, my treat!" Sir Efron beamed with excitement and teased with his deep voice.
