We don't talk about Bruno!

[3rd P.O.V.]

~Route 22~

*Swish!*

Three figures were running at speeds the human eyes are incapable of perceiving.

The surrounding Pokemon looked on in mild fear, but most were looking on with astonishment and excitement.

Unlike their plan to reach Johto and train non-stop, the trio were too focused on the training they gave up on the notion of Plan A.

At the same time, they didn't. Their prime goal at this moment was to help their friend evolve.

Maki's body was bruised, it should be pointed out that the two Pokemon she fought for the past two hours were higher leveled than her.

As stated previously, even if you have a higher level, stats and tactics make the outcome.

Unless you have overwhelming power to the point of any battle, preparation is futile.

*Swish, Sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg*

A sound as if something was completely dissected, cleanly to the point no blood left the wound was made.

*Crack, Boom, Crack!*

Maki flew through some trees, completely destroying them to smithereens.

She flew out the already small treeline, skidding across the water's surface, connected with a Mankey.

Raising his arm in time to protect himself from the meteor-like projectile, though he sustained a broken arm.

Which in the process caused his brain to shut down due to the pain, causing him to faint.

Standing up, Maki looked across the body of water she had just flown across.

On the other side stood two Pokemon, one almost identical to a human and the other looking like a collective mass of cuteness.

If anyone saw the furball, they would think it was the most innocent thing in existence, maybe not as much as Pichu.

The humanoid being looked the complete opposite, he stood around 6'5, taller than his previous height.

His bodily proportions haven't changed a bit, but the underlying fact that his aura was so suffocating it could make anyone piss themselves was frightening.

Looking on, towards bruised a up Machoke, they knew for a fact she was reaching her limit.

Between the trio she was the weakest, from there journey till now she was and always will be the weakest.

She didn't want to be a burden, even if she stayed the weakest she wanted to be useful.

Unknown to her she was doing this for two completely different reasons, that if she knew her entire facade of not wanting to be weak would break down in a second.

Her legs wobbled, but she stood up, her eyes glowed, a blue light completely covered her being.

Changing her from the inside out, to become stronger, faster, smarter to a certain extent.

The outline of the blue figure changed, an extra pair of arms sprouted from her shoulders.

Her weirdly proportioned body became more lean, smaller than her typical counterpart.

Her height increased so did her weight, on her chest two uncharacteristically sized mounds appeared.

Ross's mind was going overdrive at this moment, unlike the typical Machamp evolution, her body was changing to that of a more...feminine look.

He was without a doubt pleased, a blushing buff looking Machoke that looked like a guy but was the opposite gender infuriated him the most.

Dobby just looked on with an abundance of sadness in his eyes, he wanted to evolve as well.

He wanted to be cool too, he puffed out his cheeks, rubbing his head onto Ross's arm.

Ross unwillingly turned his head, only to engulf the lovable fluffball into a hug that would mots likely kill any normal human.

They both moved their vision back onto the decreasing blue glow, which burst into a tome of lights revealing a completely different Maki.

A Machamp, more feminine in looks appeared, her previous injuries were still apparent.

They did lessen in intensity, her once limp left arm was moving around smoothly like it was brand new.

The slash mark she had on her chest from Dobby's [Fury Swipes] only left a thin line.

She looked towards her two companions with complete assurity that she could at least push them back.

Unlike the draws most Machamps wore, she sported a tight fitting bikini.

Her hips were so thin, it looked like a simple punch from anyone could break her in half.

Her upper body was packed with muscle, another characteristic other Machamps don't have are the two mounds on her chest.

Her golden and black coloured belt fitted around her waist, going over her bikini.

Her legs looked like they were from a supermodel, long, toned and had some muscle to it.

Crouching down, she blasted off into the air, leaving deep footprints into the concrete road.

The Indigo League isn't happening until the end of the year, and right now it's June the 2nd, the year 1996, one year before Ash begins his journey.

Ross was able to acquire information as an entire city was right next to him, though it did take some sneaking around.

Back to the battle, Maki flew airborne, her right and left arms were covered in a blue glow.

They became reddish orange in colour, as if she was entering the orbit of the planet burning up.

She descended upon the man she wanted to defeat since the day she came on this journey.

Her two fists burned even more, signifying the determination she was showing, her will to win was solidifying into a physical force.

Her fists gained two knuckle dusters, they were both translucent blue in colour, practically see through.

Her entire body gave off a blue hue, her eyes were completely blue, causing Dobby who was told to move away to be irked out as he thought it was weird.

"Aura!" A bit stunned by her quick growth in power, Ross watched on closely throughout the entire transformation.

Unlike normal evolution, Pokemon don't get to choose what they want to look like.

If they are from a different region then their physique will change to that region's kind.

Once they were born there the chances the DNA which unlocks that route is high.

An example would be Ash's Pikachu and Alolan Raichus. Even if his Pikachu evolved it will only become a normal Raichu.

Unable to gain the Alolan Raichu evolution path due to the difference in genes.

So for her to force an evolution, completely unheard of is a feat only described in legends.

That led to his suspicion she had some type of aura. Aura in the Anime was described as sound, a spiritual force you can use similar to Observation Haki from One Piece.

Just on a more versatile scale than just toughening up your physique, shattering someone's will and seeing into the future.

It can achieve all of the above, other than shattering someone's will. Its real purpose is to create physical constructions.

Used as weapons, the stronger your aura, the harder your weapon is. It can also allow its user to read the thoughts of their opponent.

Practically giving them precognition, similar to future sight, just continuously.

Looking at the now feminine Machamp he couldn't help but form a smile on his face.

Opening his arms widely he shouted, causing the surrounding trees to uproot due to the shockwave.

"You're strong, extremely strong, but can you defeat me? From day one I knew you joined us just so you can prove you're stronger, but can you. Will surpass your limits and come out victorious. What will you do MAKI!"

Her already heightened senses rose sharply. Even so she couldn't read his mind, after all he was a spiritual being.

She had no clue what was going on but she loved it, his smile made her happy at the same time frustrated.

He saved her multiple times, so many that she lost count. She wasn't as smart as him, pretty like the humans he ogled at.

She wasn't the strongest either but the one thing she could do was use her fists.

So she was going to do the one thing she could to repay him, beat the living shit out of anyone who dares harm him.

Her body descended, coming into contact with her four arms punching thousands of times in a second.

"[Dynamic Punch]!" Screaming out is human language that she learned the basics of, the lake, concrete path, the trees that were already uprooted disappeared.

Her fist was heating up to such a level the small pond she jumped over was evaporating.

The wild Pokemon that were living in the pond were practically boiling alive, luckily for them it only lasted a couple seconds.

Her punches caused afterimages of her fist, appearing in a flurry of punches that all connected with his chest.

The forestry behind looked as if a Hurricane came over it completely obliterating it.

The spot Ross stood, turned into a barren land, across the vicinity a white light shone, blinding Pokemon that were watching on.

As the light that once blinded them ceased, a silence enveloped the Route. The trainer that just entered the route wasn't like Ash.

They got the hell away from there, going on ahead to report the loud explosions of that magnitude that shouldn't be happening.

Ross stared at her, arms crimson red, smoke came off of them, her eyes that were once blue lost their colour.

Her will to win was still as bright as the sun at high noon. Her blue aura disappeared along with her knuckle dusters.

The damage was done and the surrounding Pokemon were gone, and so was her consciousness.

She started to fall as her right front fist that was still connected to his chest slid down. Before she fell he caught her.

"Not bad, not bad at all!" He said in a playful tone, though his joy was clear to see due to his boisterous laugh at the end.

His eyes all of a sudden gained a glint, he knew someone was watching them but from where?

Looking around with vigilance, with his eyes became even more accurate due to the leveling.

He perceived a strapped man, he had a pair of binoculars, standing on a mountain not far from their location.

His eyes widened as he saw the Pokemon looking directly at him, blinking a little smile broke out on his face.

But before he could even catch another glimpse of the Pokemon, it disappeared leaving humanoid footprints in the barren land.
