So this is going to be a short story divided into several parts, because I realized that I'm going to put a wall of text is I described the two's birthdays in one shot.
Without further ado, lets begin. Expect me to post the chapters a bit later, due to family constraints. It wasn't easy, I tell you.
My playlist: Fearless (霍元甲)
The Battle Maison. A place where trainers, either Rising Stars or Ace Trainers, challenge themselves to either get a taste of what professional battles look like, reaching new heights, or perhaps, trying to get achievements in life. Since its establishment, it has been a source of joy for the most successful trainers, and of course, a source of frustration for those who can't get what they wanted.
Wizzy is one of those stereotypes. Despite having a great talent of psionics and being a Senior Apprentice of Olympia at a young age, he can't reach the 50th streak in the Super Singles challenge. He tried many compositions for days and, while being successful at the beginning, he always get knocked out mostly around the 30th streak. Deranged by severe losses, he has become restless, and his power becomes unstable, although unnoticed, for each loss. He had made predictions in his mind about what Pokemon will he use when facing Nita, the Battle Chatelaine for hosting the Super Single challenge. He knows he's prepared when facing the Chatelaine, but why did he fail when it comes to facing certain opponents?
This morning, Wizzy used another composition of his Pokemon. This composition consists of his Gallade, Sorcerade, Unstabler the Wobbuffet and Sorcerise the Gardevoir.
"Arceus, please give me another chance..." chanted Wizzy as he enters the stage. Clad in a white V-neck shirt with stains, possibly from all these Pokemon battles, and his black chinos wrinkled, he anxiously, and filled with rage, enters the battlefield one more time. His Pokemon whispered telepathically.
(While Psychic-type Pokemon communicate through vocal-calling of their species' names,Wizzy is able translate their vocals through telepathy. Hence, what is spoken by Psychic-types will be in the human language instead of vocals.)
"I can feel his rage rising. His power is starting peak at a very unstable level. One more defeat will result in a catastrophe..." whispered Sorcerise, as the shard on her torso emanates with a dark red light.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." said Unstabler.
"Then may Cresselia bless us!" whispered Sorcerade.
Meanwhile, there's a crowd of Psychic-types standing outside the stage watching Wizzy doing battle. These Pokemon are deposed after Wizzy suffers from a loss.
"I did not realise I will be with all of you, abandoned by your trainer just because he thinks you're all weak." said a female Alakazam, whose gender is distinguishable by its short mustache and a Mega Stone on its head, and judging from the way it speaks it came from another trainer by trading. "I've craved to fight alongside with him and yet I had been forsaken!"
A Slowbro, belonging to Wizzy's, becomes increasingly worried by its trainer, expressed a very sad face, which is a very rare sight, as Slowpoke and Slowbro are shown to be expressionless by their relaxed face.
"It's okay, Slowbro. We are able to perform well, only in the right circumstances. Our trainer is looking for efficiency, and he thinks we are not up to his demands." cheered Bronzor, a metallix hexagonal shaped Pokemon, with an Eviolite attatched to its forehead.
"Why you should care? He valued me, and now I worth nothing, even though I may look different from my brethren." complained Sleeky, a shiny Metagross with a tint of stainless steel instead of the blue iron.
Meanwhile, a Medicham is meditating, with the expression of disharmony.
"Mistrome! What had you seen? It seems you are feeling Wizzy's rage... Don't let it consume you!" said Illusious, a male Alakazam.
"I sense... no sign of his rest... But... his attempt is going to stop at one point... if that happens, then his power is going to destroy the Maison!" explained the Medicham.
The sense of chaos is intense within these Pokemon.
Outside the Maison, Mixia, a young girl clad in a blue, seemingly formal outfit, with the exception of the top being a midriff halter, enters the Maison with her Ghost-type Pokemon, Trancer the Banette, Spiritas the Gengar with a Mega Stone on its forehead, and Furisa the Froslass.
As she enters the spectator area, she notices Sorcerade battling a Tyranitar under the ownership of a Punk Girl. The monster slashed the Gallade with what appears to be the Shadow Claw technique, only to get hurt by the Rocky Helmet. Wizzy then sends out Wobbuffet, and after surviving a Night Slash, not to mention being Taunted, retaliates back with a Counter, managing to knock out the monster revealing to be a Zoroark in disguise. The opponent sends out the real Tyranitar, and it Flung its Iron Ball at the Wobbuffet after casting Thunder Wave on it.
"Sorcerise... You better not fail me." said Wizzy restlessly as the Gardevoir enters the battle.
"He looks troubled..." thought Mixia. Then she hears a voice coming from the Spirit World:
"If he fails, it's up to you to stop a disaster."
"What do you mean a disaster? Oh, well, let's hope he wins this round..." replied Mixia.
Wizzy activates his Mega Ring, Mega Evolving Sorcerise into a mystifying, elegant being, with the dress-like cloth skin transformed into what appears to be a ballgown, the shard on its chest being split into two, and the ears sharpened. The Mega Gardevoir unleashed a Moonblast at the Tyranitar, only to have the monster surviving the hit. It then proceeds to paralyzing the Embrace Pokemon.
"Halfway there, Sorcerise! One more Moonblast and this wretch is going out!" shouted Wizzy.
"He looked too severe..." thought Mixia, worryingly.
"This does not look good." said the two Alakazam as they're healing up the fallen participants.
"You can do it, sister! Wizzy'll wins this round if my calculations are correct..." said Sorcerade as he recovers.
Unfortunately as the Mega Gardevoir is about to cast another Moonblast, the Tyranitar unleahsed a Rock Slide, which made Sorcerise flinch.
"NOOOOO!!!!! It's over..." shouted Wizzy.
"The catastrophe... can't be stopped... It's about to be unleashed!" communed Mistrome.
His mind is about to burst. The psychic energy within him starts to unleash, with charges upon his head, generating more power, and all objects around the Maison started to levitate with psychokinetic energy.
"Wizzy? Is something wrong with you?" asked Mixia.
"Dude, you're alright?" asked the Punk Girl.
"Why can't I beat everyone in this Maison?! Why am I being considered weak?! Why isn't Mewtwo allowed in this freak challenge?! WHHHYYYYY!!!! ARCEUS, EXPLAIN TO ME!!!!!" shouted Wizzy, as he became more unstable than ever, the cracks on the Maison's floor and ceiling start to appear!
"Oh no, that's not good... whoa, whoa!" Bronzor is unable to withstand the unstable energies, causing it to fly around.
"Gengar! Gaaaarrrrr!!!!" Spiritas screamed under the the exposure to the psychic energies. As Gengar are Poison-type, they are weak to such form of energy.
"Everyone! Stop his power from leaking!" commanded Illusious.
The Psychic-type Pokemon gathered energy within themselves and they cast Psychic to reverse the effects of Wizzy's devastation. While that stopped the cracks inside the Maison, it did not stop Wizzy from releasing his energies.
"Wizzy! Listen to me! Your power is too much for the spirits to handle! You must stop this madness, now!" shouted Mixia.
"WHY SHOULD I?!?! How could you get everything you wanted!!!!!" shouted Wizzy.
"This calls for drastic measures..." said Mixia. She picked up a Quick Ball from her purse, then sends out Aegislash, a physical apparition in the form of a sword and a shield.
"Spectris! Use those spectral powers of your brethren! Now!" commanded Mixia.
Spectris stood in the stance of what appears to be the King's Shield, then the shield starts to glow with spectral light. This power is how Aegislash controls the minds of people in the past, and to imagine it being used in the present day would be astonishing. The spectral light got control of Wizzy's mind, destroying any unstable psychic energies that starts to erupt. As more energy is cleansed and removed from his mind, Wizzy collapsed, and the spectral light goes off, meaning the spell is complete. Sorcerise, along with the other Psychic Pokemon, remained unharmed, and they levitate the objects contacted by Wizzy back to their original positions.
"Stop the match, now." commanded Mixia.
"Sorry, 50th streak champion, the rules say that either a Battle Chatelaine makes an announcement or the challenger chooses to..." explained the Punk Girl.
"Stop means stop! Slay that Tyranitar for me, Spectris!" Mixia commanded again. The Aegislash changed to its Blade Forme, slashing the monster with a Sacred Sword.
"Fine! Fine! This challenge has ended!" announced the Punk Girl as the Royal Sword Pokemon is about to put its blade on the Tyranitar. The monster is sent back, and the opponent left the battlefield to the backstage.
"That... was terrible." said Sorcerise in the aftermath of the events, being reverted back to its normal form due to Wizzy's powers.
"Wizzy... Are you alright?" asked Mixia as she stepped up the stage.
"It's... not important now... ugh..." replied Wizzy as he stands up, "What's important right now is that I need to get my Pokemon to rest."
"Indeed, trainer, perhaps you should also... Argh! What's this demon doing on me?!" the Alakazam noticed Spiritas squeezing on it, being fainted by the unstable energies.
"Did I just land on something? Oh, sorry about that, Miss." said Bronzor as its body hit Furisa's head.
"Froslass!" Furisa threw the Bronzor away with its head angrily.
"First time cannot stand up from this situation..." Unstabler fell in a position which Wobbuffet can't recover from: lying down horizontally.
"You're in a severe mental condition. Those Psychic things of yours can clean up themselves. Come, you should rest at the Pokemon Center." said Mixia as she puts her elbow over Wizzy's shoulders to support him, while heading to the Pokemon Center in Kiloude.
My playlist: It's quiet now (安静了)
As the two entered at the Pokemon Center, the lights suddenly go dim, then confetti, along with some sparkles plus some Pikachu-shaped confetti sprinkled from the top.
 |
| "Wh-wh-what's going on?" |
 |
| "Well, everyone's preparing a surprise for you while you're away..." |
"It's my birthday? Ugh, I can't believe I forgot it..." mumbled Wizzy.
"It's alright. You just gone cuckoo after all those staying at the Maison." replied Mixia.
The two trainers head for a table with two seats, one seat facing another, and sat down.
"You've lost all of your sanity back there. What happened?" asked Mixia.
“I can't hit the 50th streak. I tried every Psychic-type that can do me good at there... But one composition after another... I kept losing..." replied Wizzy.
"It's alright. Losing is part of the process of realising your mistakes, and the Pokemon that you use... I saw that two-spooned Magic Guarder of yours having a Focus Sash. Why not Life Orb?" Mixia asked again.
"Illusious was weak, dies to a Sucker Punch... so he needs that survivalbility... In the end... he's nothing... even after getting a decent streak..." replied Wizzy.
"Hold on, a decent streak? You see? You underestimated a Pokemon of yours and yet you use it at one attempt of the challenge, but now you looked down upon it, again. Remember Wizzy, when you look down on one weakness, you'll never get to see what it's capable of!" lectured Mixia.
"And Sleeky is not good at it too..." mumbled the frustrated Psychic.
"That shiny Metagross of yours is a great battler, seen it wrecking Talonflames, if I recalled properly." Mixia replied.
"And Sorcerade is..." Wizzy mumbled again.
"Unique, yes, unique. No Gallade has ever run Will-o-wisp and wearing a Rocky Helmet." Mixia added. "But have you ever considered nicknaming your Pokemon? It's like only less than 50% of them do have a name."
"Names...? I had plans, but I'm still brainstorming..." replied Wizzy.
"I suppose those brainstormed stuff were forgotten the moment you kept on challenging the Battle Maison. Just for what purpose you wanted to fight all your way to challenge Nita?" asked Mixia.
Wizzy sudeenly becomes alert. His irises narrows, looking like something has hit him at the thought of the question.
"I just want to beat your record. I want to prove that Psychics are better than your danged Ghosts! Just because you have a Scarfed chandelier, a sword-and-shield and some poisonous apparition with a third eye doesn't mean that you can always defeat every single feat of strength of mine!" replied Wizzy, in an angry expression.
"Uh, Wizzy, are you alright? It's look like you're hiding something. Usually you're never that fierce when it comes to girls." asked Mixia.
"I'm not hiding! That's the true purpose... that I have better skills than you! You're not the only one who can complete the Super Singles! We're rivals, remember this!" Wizzy added.
"Can't hide it forever, because I always knew you liked me." said Mixia as she grinned.
"Fine... I kept trying to hit the 50th win streak so I can impress you..." confessed Wizzy, sheepishly.
"Geez, Wizzy, I can't believe you're forcing yourself to hard just to make me happy about your career," said Mixia as she picks up a set of clothes, what appears to be a black V-neck tee along with monochromatic vinyl pants, along with a shoe box containing black loafers. "Anyhow, I think you should take a shower and get changed, because you looked very untidy right now."
"Okay, I can't be looking like that for always when you're around on this special, fine day." said Wizzy as he receives his clothes then heading to the shower room in the Pokemon Center.
As he goes to clean up himself, Sorcerade arrived at the Pokemon Center, along with the Bronzor, Illusious and Mistrome, followed by Mixia's Ghost-types.
"Bane-net-nette?" Trancer vocalised as it hops onto Mixia's bare stomach.
"Froslass-lass." Furisa asked about how Mixia's rival is doing.
"Oh, Wizzy? He's trying to pick up himself after the chaos at there..." replied Mixia.
"Let's hope Wizzy recovers... His power output was unbalanced back there." said Illusious.
"I better hope that Slowbro is alright, he is still frowning and refusing to move even after the aftershock. Sleeky is carrying it, and currently that Slowbro's weight caused problems for Sleeky's hovering." said the Bronzor.
Meanwhile, outside the Pokemon Center...
"Aegislash, Aegislash!" Spectris is trying to prevent the Slowbro from falling from the Iron Leg Pokemon.
"Alright, I think I can... whoa, whoa!" Sleeky suddenly loses its balance to the weight of the Slowbro.
"Slowbro..." it seems that this Slowbro is unable to recover from depression.
"Steady now... I wonder when it is going to recover its telepathic link to us." thought the Alakazam.
"I can sense that this thing will not recover until it is given compassion from its trainer." said Sorcerise. "Speaking of compassion, I must convince Wizzy to stop this gauntlet."
"Compassion?! But that boy is has completely forsaken us! You expect compassion from him?" Sleeky complained.
"With comfort from that Ghost girl I expect him to get back into his senses." Sorcerise replied.
"Are you guys going to leave me here?! Wait for me!!" Unstabler attempts to catch up with the other Pokemon by hopping.
Back in the Pokemon Center, Wizzy manages to finish his shower, and going out from the fitting room, with a black V-neck tee along with a pair of black loafers and wearing a pair of vinyl pants, he looks like a new leaf. When Mixia noticed the Psychic in his new clothes, she's instantly mesmerized.
"Wizzy, I must admit, you looked better in a black outfit. As you are a Psychic, this colour makes you look more enigmatic... and also romantic." said Mixia.
"I always thought that the best Psychic-type trainers wear monochromatic outfits, and sometimes purple." replied Wizzy.
"You seem... refreshed." said Sorcerade.
"Thanks, my friend." replied Wizzy. He then turns his head towards his Bronzor.
"Looks like I figured out a name for you my Eviolite wielder: you'll be called Shieldor." said Wizzy.
"Hmm... Shieldor? 'Shield' and 'mirror'... okay, that's neat! I always expected that to come." said Bronzor, cheerfully.
"And you should've done so to the others. It should've done long time ago." said Illusious.
"Remember to give my younger sister a name, too." reminded Mistrome.
Mixia picks up what appears to be a box of Poke Puffs from her bag.
"So... anyone want some Poke Puffs? I suppose someone must've been hungry after all those struggling." asked Mixia.
"I'd be pledged to. My meditation is over, temporarily." said Mistrome as it uses its psychokinetic power to retrieve the Poke Puff. The other three Psychic-types also did the same, and ate the Puffs in a rather well-mannered, gentle way, except for Shieldor, whose thoughts of joy of receiving a new name made him ate voraciously and happily without a single thought.
"Shieldor, you're dirtying yourself." said Mixia as he picks up a handkerchief to rub off the cravings of the hexagonal-shaped Pokemon.
"Sorry! I almost forgotten my manners, Wizzy," said Shieldor, and then it nods towards Mixia, "By the way, miss, don't forget to leave some for Sorcerise and my friend Slowbro."
"Slowbro... I can't establish my telepathic link with it now... and now I can't figure out a name for it. And the mess back in the Maison... it's all my fault..." thought Wizzy.
"What ails you?" asked Mixia.
Wizzy then pretends nothing happened and blushed when he turned to Mixia's adorable face. "Nothing," he replied.
"Let's hang out, shall we, Wizzy? You should be receiving some fresh air." asked Mixia.
"I'd bet. I remembered that there will be diamond dust fluttering outside the Frost Cavern. Let's take some shots at there," said Wizzy. "Sorcerade, and the rest of you, recall, because we're heading to Dendemille!"
The two trainers recalled back their respective Pokemon, then two hot air balloon shaped Pokemon descended from the sky.
"On board the Drifblim Express! Manitou, you carry Wizzy; while Manitone please grip on me when you Fly because you may unleash a Phantom Force instead." commanded Mixia to her Drifblim.
"Phantom Force?!" exclaimed Wizzy.
"The one's that I use in battles has it. The one that is going to carry you is experienced in taking people off." said Mixia.
"But aren't you afraid that they may take you to nowhere?" asked Wizzy.
"The spirits can guide them to my destination. Try imagining Drifblim relying the spirits as a Town Map." Mixia replied.
"Okay, I'll be trusting you." said Wizzy. The two Drifblim hang on to the two and flew off to their next destination.
Author's note
I must say, for the past few days before my birthday, I always thought of being able to challenge Nita. I've tried every Psychic-type (yes, including the Mega Evolutions that are allowed in the Maison) that is able to survive the Maison, changing builds, but... every time, it always result in failure.
If you ever wonder about the part where Aegislash controls Wizzy, the Pokedex entries said that Aegislash were able to control minds of people. However, Aegislash is neither capable of Hypnosis or Confuse Ray, plus the Aegislash I see in Link Battles contradicts the entries, so I assumed that it is some kind of ancestral hidden power. Here's the proof:
"...these Pokemon... used their spectral power to manipulate and control people and Pokemon."-X/Omega Ruby entryAbout Wizzy and Mixia? Hello, I ship them despite their rivalry. If Wizzy's were to face Mixia in a Link Battle, I can say there's a high chance that Mixia will win because she uses Ghost-types that are beyond the overused rank! (except for Chandelure, plus I don't understand why it is considered underrated) Plus, I used those Pokemon to reach the 50th win streak. On the other hand... well, none of Wizzy's Psychic-types have a chance to challenge the Battle Chatelaines even though they can. Some people think Dragons or Fairies are imbalanced, but to me the most imbalanced type is Dark.
Oh, and I finished colouring the drawings of these two, with only a mouse, Meitu photo editor (美图秀秀) and MS Paint. I'd thought of being an artist someday, because there's possibilities for me to take part in art competition (if the chance comes), and I can get to retell the moments of my two trainers by recreating some anime-screenshot things (I might do so by updating this post).
 |
| I think I should add some effects onto this drawing... levitating Poke Ball, hair effects (I checked some manga tutorial books, and there's some kind of sketching effect when it comes to blonde hair)... |
 |
| I must say that I didn't get the pleats right. I had fun colouring the halter and the abdomen. Perhaps I should make a 'draw this again' meme if I had the time. |
So, expect the next chapter to be, well, very soon. This song some what served as an inspiration, which I don't know why, but I always think of it when I think of this story.
Jurassic World Spielzeug Thank you because you have been willing to share information with us. we will always appreciate all you have done here because I know you are very concerned with our.
