[4] The Daughter of Nurse Joy: Hoenn Adventure

Sidney of the Hoenn Elite Four

A/N:

I just realized that I gave Cora's Lairon the same name as her Tricereon. So I gave her Lairon a new name: Velda

==========

The gang had gone through a lot on Izabe Island; visiting different places and seeing more Pokémon. Not only that, but some of the gang's Pokémon also evolved. Cora's (Velda) and Alain's Lairon evolved into Aggron, Sebastian (Corphish) into Crawdaunt, Circe (Spoink) into Grumpig and Juvia (Clamperl) into Gorebyss. Alain's Nuzleaf evolved into Shiftry and Clamperl into Huntail. 

============

Right now, the gang (Cora, Alain and Mairin) were heading for Sootopolis City where Cora can get her final gym badge. By now they had come to a rocky area of Izabe Island.

"I can't believe we're almost near Sootopolis City." Cora commented.

"Where your last gym badge awaits." Alain added.

"Then you'll be competing in the league!" Mairin beamed.

Suddenly, a Pokémon appeared on the pathway. It was an Absol.

"An Absol?" Cora asked.

"Is it a wild one?" Alain added.

"Absol belongs to me." A male voice said.

The three turned to the voice. A man, who looked like a punk walked up to Absol and petted its head.

"Hey, aren't you Sidney of the Elite Four?" Cora asked, in surprise.

"I am." Sidney confirmed. 

The gang introduced themselves.

"So you're the ones who've helped Phoebe, Glacia and Drake?" Sidney realized.

"Yeah. We were glad to have helped." Cora confirmed. 

"So what are you doing out here, Sidney?" Alain asked.

"I'm here because I heard rumors about some unique Dark type Pokémon around here." Sidney explained.

"What kind of Dark type?" Alain asked, interested.

"I don't know. I'm pretty excited to find out." Sidney replied.

"Can we join you? It sounds like an interesting Pokémon." Cora requested.

"Why not?" Sidney shrugged.

And so, Sidney and the gang head off to find the mysterious Pokémon.

========

Sidney and the gang followed after Sidney's Absol along with Jackal (Shiny Lucario) through the woods. 

"I didn't think that finding a rare Pokémon would be so hard." Mairin complained.

"It's never easy finding one, Mairin." Sidney pointed out.

"Point taken." Mairin said.

Then Jackal and Sidney's Absol stopped in their tracks.

"What is it, Jackal?" Cora asked.

"(I'm sensing three strong Pokémon nearby. They might be the group of Pokémon we're looking for.)" Jackal replied.

"Sol. (I think so too.)" Sidney's Absol agreed.

"Can you lead us there?" Sidney requested.

"(Sure.)" Jackal nodded.

=======

Soon Jackal and Absol led the group into the forest for a few minutes. Then they spotted the Pokémon they've been looking for and there were three of them. They were a quadrupedal, draconic Pokémon with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a red underside with four yellow markings. There are red markings on the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its hind legs. Additionally, there are raised white ridges above its eyes. Jagged, light blue spikes protrude from either side of its head. Its mouth features sharp teeth, with a pair of three teeth on the upper jaw and a pair of single teeth in the lower. Each of its legs has three, long claws, with its front legs being longer and bulkier, and sporting three protruding scales close to the knees. On its back rests very large red wings that begin with a three-pronged yellow pattern on both sides, that then curl upward into a crescent moon-like shape with blue-tipped feather-like protrusions on the ends. Below its wings is a jagged cape-like structure with a black underside.
