"Feint attack" He commanded his snealsel.

The attack Ko'd Slick, so Ashley sent out Dusty. "It's all up to you!" "TraaaaaaPA!"

"Sneasel, you know what to do." Konnyr said. The sneasel nodded emotionlessly, mimicking its trainer in that way. The sneasel used blizzard.

Dusty barely hung on. "Hard as you Can! ROCK TOMB!!!" Ashley yelled.

Ashley's sudden burst of enthusiasm caught sneasel off guard, making her too late to dodge the attack. She was crushed under the rocks, and Konnyr returned her to the pokeball before any more harm could be done. "Well, you win I guess" Konnyr said, putting the ball back on his belt.

Dusty clapped his jaws together, pleased with himself. Ashley let out a truphiant shout. Just then, a blue light surrounded Dusty...

Konnyr finished healing his team, then sent Sandstorm back out just in time to witness Dusty evolving. The vibrava flitted over to the newly evolved Pokemon, booping her antennae into his. [you did it! You evolved!] she exclaimed excitedly.

The next day, Mio was released.
"It was awful." Mio told Professor Sycamore. "They took all sorts of tests on me, and I couldn't go to sleep! I heard a constant banging downstairs."
"I worried about you all night. Thank Arceus you're safe." Sycamore said.
"Yeah. So, when's the Champion/Elite Four meeting?" she asked.
"It's tonight. Lucian's picking us up from the hotel at around five o'clock."
"Where's Steven?" Mio asked.
"He's picking up Wallace from the Sootopolis Gym in Hoenn." Sycamore said, opening the car door.
"Okay." Mio said.

(lol, the only pokemon in pain in that lab would be ones who tripped over something, they don't have many pokemon in the lab, and they don't do any tests on pokemon that would hurt them)


Platinia arrived at Mt. coronet with her chatot, when she arrived, she sent out her Garchomp, Gallade, Machamp, Lopunny, and Gardevoir. "Alright darlings, lets get to work! The others haven't showed up to help yet, so it's up to us to set up our party. Macha, Loplu, you guys take care of the battle grounds, Gardy, Gally, you guys set the tables, Mama, you go get things set up. The garchomp earned the nickname 'Mama' Because of how she acted like a mother towards every one of her Pokemon.

All her Pokemon cheerily got to work. "Stara, Stary, go find Sylver and Leo, thank darlings" She said to her Pokemon. She left Gaia with her best friends, Barry and Lucas, since they always babysat her kids when she was busy, and they could handle one more strange kid. Platinia glanced at the invitation list, then at her her pokemon, who worked happily, their movements playful and having fun while getting their tasks done. "That's the spirit everyone!" She cheered them on, then realized what she said. "Wait no I didn't mean-" Before she could finish, she was slammed into the ground, appearing on top of one of the tall pillars. She sighed, then carefully slid down the pillar, going back to helping her Pokemon.

Two by two, the Elite Four members and each region's champion appeared. Steven had summed up the courage to ask Wallace to the party. Sycamore and Mio were with Lucian. Grimsley and Burgh had come as a pair, and Professor Kukui and Brunette came too. It seemed everyone was there except... Malva and Lysandre.
"I wonder where mom and dad are?" Mio asked.
"I don't have a clue."
