94 Heading to Fuchsia City

At the breakfast table a few days later, plans were changed up finally. The team split into three. To play to the strength of each other more and cover ground with everything that was happening. An email between Gray and Professor Oak put the two on bad terms. Professor Oak wanted Gary to come back and rest, But the young man was determined to live his life more than ever now.

Gray supported the decision. Since it would be stupid to have Gary locked in an office with his new condition. Red, Gold, and Nurse Joy went back to the research facility. The first two for recovery. The latter as a member of Gray's team. For "support" and what not.

"Jackie, Claire, Bea, and I will head to Blackthorn city. Then I will head back for a pick up here." Sabrina went everything for the last time. Despite the protests of some. "Silver, since he is an expert on Ghost-type Pokemon, is heading to Lavender Town. Crystal, and Gary will come with. As for.."

"I am heading with Gray..' Hilda said. She did not care for Sabrina's attitude. Which was mostly because of the effect she had on Gray and Claire. "I have Ranger work he can help with. And June has information that needs to be discussed still."

"With the Lighting abilities you have.."

"She is coming with us." Gray cut in. "The way you said everything could work before, I was no longer needed to go towards Lavenger Town's dungeon. That teams were changed up to reflect that. We now have additional people that should make that moot still the same."

"He is Team Leader Sabrina. Best to let it go." June said. Sabrina closed her eyes giving in. "Just the way things go some time." Looking back she watched as Gray was already leaving. Empress floated out of him to go towards Sabrina. 'Well.. that is just off putting.'

'They are drifting apart.' Choma said from within. 'Not much can be done about that really. Duty and what Empress wants keeps things from going smoothly.'

'I think it is stupid.' June thought back. She grabbed her bag and trotted off. "See everyone in a few days."

"Crystal, you owe me a fight!" Hilda said cheerfully. She was already running to catch up with the others. 'Wonder what we will run into first?'

'We are where we need to be. Hopefully, Bea finds what is needed of her.' Impact thought to her. On the shoulder of her partner suited things just fine. Especially it was a way for them to train togethor. 'This form is very pleasing. I wonder what my other siblings look like.'

'Whatever they look like, they will be weaker than us.' Hilda looked down meeting her eyes. The two shared a look nodding. 'Glad we are on the same page.'

"Right." Grabbing hold, she Teleported them away.

Silver, Crystal, and Gary head off as well. Sabrina would be able to find them easy enough. Specifically, Gary considering his partner.

Cycling Road-

.

"I can not believe you used Hypnosis on those people." Hilda asked. Her hands crossed behind her head. "I mean, we could have gotten some bikes."

"We are faster than bikes. And to get ones that actually could sustain our aura is to expensive." Gray shook his head against the notion. "I will not waste the money and I also want to train. The service strip has no cycling, so no issue. That guy was just acting like a pain in the ass."

"Yeah. True."

"So what were you wanting to know about?" June asked. She was strangely ok with everything that happened. Slightly humming as they traveled when not talking.

"Well you are a twin and I am a twin. Both of our siblings have aura uses. From what I remember. I want to know if "Aura Links" can break when a difference of opinion starts to manifest more."

"Yes. For identical twins is is that much stronger. Especially with them usually on the same wavelength. ven disagreeing they are able to understand the point of view of the other." June pulled up an articele she wrote about it before. Then the actual material itself collaborates with several other Professors. "Right around puberty is when a wedge is formed. Or for kids that are really smart, a bit sooner. The sense of self causes the more dominant twin to institutively suppress the other weaker one."

"Hmm." Gray just hummed. he sent out a few of his Pokemon to go and hunt in the extremely tall grass. The Absols, Servine, Growlithe, and Nidoking took off. Clyde the Hunchkrow stood on his shoulder. Much to the annoyance of Midnight the Umbreon. He took up the other shoulder and remained quiet. 'Battle any Pokemon ot trainers that want to. Do not bully anyone, we are not staying close to treat major injuries.'

"Right!" They all answered togethor. Using the full scope of their aura to do so.

"So, I am the reason my sister is so moody then." Hilda was slightly disappointed as she read.

"No. It is the same as with other people. The problem is, that you to or more aware of each other is al. Most likely a side effect of you to sharing pokemon growing up and swapping them during fusions as well. Lingering effects on your mind and all that." Gray said back to the two.

"I will have to differ to him in that regard. He knows you both better than I do." June said. "Let's say you two were not close at all, and spent five years apart. The more dominant would feel a sense of lost. While the lesser would grow exponentially."

"Well, that is not fair." Hilda frowned.

"You are right, it is not. But.." June held her finger up stopping her before she didn't hear everything. ".. afterward, the more dominant one would experience a much larger growth. It is a weird psychological effect that feeds in on each other. Mainly because those involved feel the need they need improve. Making sure the other does not fall behind in any way."

"So we are destined to fight neverending at times?"

"Nope. The future is yours to decide."

"Gray is right. More and more Aura Link trainers are changing the view on that. In fact, a set og Gym Leaders specifically have gotten rid of the problem entirely." June had to pause and try to figure oue which Gym leaders they were. "But it is a little different since both are deeply Psychic as well. I can not remember their names."

"Tate and Liza of Mossdeep city." gray said. His eyes glowed in aura power as he spoke. "The two sisters have a deep connection with one another. In all the since of the words. They also are the only Gym Leaders to have inclosed marriage."

"Inclosed marriage?" Hilda was not suprised about the tone, but the words themselves.

"The two sisters have the same wife, and a husband each. The wife is shared between the two and the husband are each for themselves. It is quite the set up. At first their parents couldn't understand or like it, but that changed when the two showed their resolve. They passed the gym on to some one else and left the city area. Opened up an area not to far away. Spreading their ideas. And view on life."

'I can see his wings but they really are not out. Glowing white greatly.' June thought. She could feel Chroma humming in pleasure. 'You ok?'

'Yes. He is very happy in that place. The peace and understanding they live is very good for the Hoenn region.' Her partner thought back. I will make sure I keep an eye for trouble there. Defintely needs to stay standing if we want to survive the aftermath.'

"Maybe I should take her there one day?" Hilda thought outloud.

"No reason you shouldn't. It can be a learning experience." Clyde said. He spread his wings and flew up. "I will do a little recon in the area." Gray just gave a nod. He knew Clyde was going to report to Fearow.

"Well, how about a little training?" Gray looked at the two. The smile on his face made June's heart skip a beat. "It has been a while since we have train that way yes? It will be like old times."

"I would like that a lot. I have gotten a lot better in the more physical aspect." Aura power channeled around her slowly. Not a bit was wasted. "I am sure I can show Hilda a few things."

"Sounds good to me!" Hilda looked at Impact who was already fired up. "Heard it is a speed thing most times, let's see who can come out on top."

"Pokefusion!" The trio announced togethor. Gray/Umbreon, Hilda/Jolteon-Mew, June/Chroma.

"Loser has to do whatever the winner says for a .. day." Hilda shot off like a bullet. Gray and June smiling, they knew she would come in last. To much throttle out the gate.

-Elsewhere-

.

"What is this place?" Lance out loud looking around. The mountainous region was unlike anything he seen before. Arceus sent him somewhere that he was not ready for out of the blue. He was also not alone. "Get up!"

The purple-haired stranger next to him stirred slightly. The clothes he wore made Lance slightly shocked. The clothes he wore were someone that same. The pure white with light gold outline was a little to regal for his taste.

"Ughh.." the other member groaned before standing up straight. "Relax a little. Pretty sure the boss would not send us on a wild errand." His tone was hard to read. Coming out slightly stoic. 'We could have been sent to the darkest corners of existence, and I would gladly go. If it helps restore the Galar Region, I have to try.'

"All you care about is your brother." Lance gave a critical glare. His corrupted aura weighing down on the other. "I will not try to pretend to understand Lord Arceus' desire in raising you up. The failure of the Dynamax engine is proof enough.."

"Grr.." Leon pushed back with Dynamax energy. But it was no match for Lance's control. "This how you treat partners? No wonder you lost that Pokesoul. Bet your other pokemon abandoned you for the same reason."

"Crackle!" The air started break with power. The two was ready to come to blows.

"Enough!" A voice boomed out. A young woman walked out with steely eyes. The light golden glow warning the two not to cause trouble. "If you are done acting like fools, come with me. We need to break this dungeon fast."

Lance and Leon growled at each other before following. Seeing as Jasmine from the Johto region held a special place in the organization was enough to warrant how serious the situation turned.

The chasm they travelled down left nothing to the imagination. Flickering lights revealed several ghost type pokemon hiding in the shadows. Down below futher, several members fiddle about mining the multi colored gems.

"Two of the chosen have arrived." Jasmine said cooly. he spoke to a young woman with a bald head. She looked somewhat ill and haggard. "Janina.."

"We will begin. The sooner it is freed, the sooner we can change the world." Janina stared at the large creature incased in the gems. A dark look shining in her eyes that the others did not see. "The body of the greatest threat to Lord Arceus. Despite the pieces it is missing."

A body of Giratine had several marks across the chest. Most of the claws and part of the left wing were missing. So covered in the corrupted aura, it was impossible for Gray to detect it really.

"Babump!" A wave went out in the room. Janina and a few others undercover felt it. It was the result of several Lugia sending out a pulse to find the body. Judas swimming around the Johto waters honing in slowly. On his back were several trainers.

Misty, Dawn, and Dawn's mother Johanna. The woman was quite happy to have met the Legendary Pokemon. More happy than Dawn had seen her since the passing of her father and siblings.
