Mega Houndoom

    This will not be fun, to say the least.

    Houndoom ran at Son Goku since he's the weakest. Houndoom opened its mouth, covered with dark energy, and was about to strike when Son Goku activated Counter. And as soon as Houndoom hit Son Goku, he began to glow. Son Goku was evolving. A much needed evolution with perfect timing. Son Goku, still glowing, blocked the Bite and used Mach Punch on Houndoom, who was sent flying. Then, he began to grow. A tail formed. His arms and legs extended. And finally, he was a true Son Goku.

    {Let's do this, Fronja!} he yelled.

    {Alright!} Fronja responded.

    Now THIS was a battle to behold.

    They ran at Houndoom and attacked with all their might. It was Power-Up Punch after Mach Punch after Ice Punch. They were perfectly in sync. And soon, Houndoom was extremely weak. 

    {Final Charge!} they said in unison.

    Son Goku and Fronja lunged at Houndoom with a bright blue Fire Punch and an ice blue Ice Punch respectively. They hit, and brought the Mega Houndoom down.

    {Wow, I must say. You two are very powerful. But will that be enough?} Houndoom said.

    Houndoom rose back to his feet and began rejuvenating somehow. I looked around and realized that an Audino was in the corner of the cave. How had I not noticed it? Unless…

    Was that the presence I felt? Impossible. It would have to be a ghost type, wouldn't it?

    While I was thinking, Houndoom was back to full strength and my pokemon were tired. And it was at this moment that the Doom Time Trio woke up.

    {What's happening?} Absol asked.

    "Your leader mega-evolved and attacked me. Son Goku over there countered it and evolved. The two of them beat your leader, but then he was healed by the Audino in the corner and now he's back to full strength," I said.

    {I've been waiting for a chance to take his spot. We'll help you out!} Absol said..

    Absol used Psycho Cut on the Audino to take it out and disable Mega Houndoom's healing. 

    {Now, let's have a real battle!} Absol shouted.

    {Yeah!} the others responded.

    {I find your faith in your winning amusing.} Houndoom said.

    "Hol' up! Let me just make this a little more fair," I said.

    I brought out Sage and Hades, who were ready to fight. 

    Houndoom laughed. {More pokemon? Ha! Foolish! Let's go!} Houndoom said.

    Houndoom immediately shot a Fire Blast at our forces. Fronja shot a Water Pulse to counter it, however it only weakened it. Son Goku and Hades jumped in front of the weakened flame to absorb it. They were hit, but not nearly as hard as they could've been. Together, the two made a combo attack. Hades shot a Flamethrower at Houndoom, and Son Goku disappeared. Then I realized. Son Goku was inside of the Flamethrower. He ran at Houndoom, who thought that he had moved out of the way of the Flamethrower when a fire monkey came out of it and hit him with a Thunder Punch. Houndoom was knocked down, so our side took that to our advantage.

    "Now! Attack him with all you've got!" I shouted.

    Together, the seven pokemon attacked him. Fronja with Ice Beam, Hades with Flamethrower, Sage with Leaf Storm, Son Goku with Leer to guarantee the win, Absol with Charge Beam, Houndour with Fire Blast, and Eevee with Swift. The combined attacks hit the Houndoom full force, knocking him out of his mega-evolution and taking him out.

    "Alright! You guys did it!" I shouted.

    {Yeah! We did!} Fronja said.

    {But how did he mega-evolve without a trainer?} Hades asked.

    "Good question. I was wondering the same thing," I said.

    We looked at Absol with a questioning look on our faces.

    {If you think that I know how he mega-evolved without a trainer, or how he hooked the Houndoominite to his chest, you must be out of your mind! I have no clue!} Absol said.

    {However, I will take that while I still can.} Houndour said. 

    Houndour took the Houndoominite from Houndoom for later. 

    "Good idea. We don't want him waking up and attacking innocent pokemon again. Welp, we should probably be going now. It's probably late and I kinda need to get to the next town. I'll see you three later. Come on, guys," I said, leaving the cave.

    {Alright! See you soon!} Eevee called out after us.

    We left the cave and went back out onto Route 10 where I looked at the sky. Surprisingly, there was still daylight left. Obviously, I was not going to pass up this opportunity. I began to try and teach my pokemon some new moves. I trained Son Goku to learn Flamethrower, and told him to ask Hades for help if he needed it. I doubted that he would. Next, I went to Sage and trained him in the art of using Energy Ball. He tried using it and charged it up a little too much and put it in beam format.

    "Uhhh, less energy. I'll show you that move when the time comes," I said.

    I went to Hades and showed him how to use Thunder Punch. He tried, but it wasn't great. He kept trying and eventually got the hang of it. Finally, I got to Fronja. I showed him how to use Scald, which was easy for him since he already knew how to make his water colder. All he needed to do was do the opposite. Once he had learned it, I couldn't think of any more moves to teach him, so I did some speed and strength exercises with him before meditating to increase his Special Attack.

    And it was in this meditation that something weird happened.
