An Adult In Pokemon

"Morning. Training today right?" Her little eyes blinked rapidly to get used to the light. The others lazed about not really wanting to get up. Gray never really rushed them to get up. If they become too lazy, then he would change it up.

"Yes. You ok from your nightmares?"

"Yes. I just need to get stronger and keep you safe." Empress said smiling. She did not really wanna talk about it.

"No, we keep each other safe. Rember that. Let us eat and get cleaned up. We will talk about what happened later tonight. Do you know how we got back here to the room?" Thinking about all that, he remembered the last thing flying in the sky. That and two pokemon in the air.

Floating the toothbrush over, Empress thought for a moment before responding. "Ori got us back here. That is what my physic senses are saying." With that, she started cleaning her little mouth.

Gray went to make food for the others. Seeing the Scyther outside still he went to her last. "Hey, are you ok? I can give you a medical checkup if you want. You have been quiet as of late. Do you miss the forest?"

"I am fine. When you train today. Just train the Umbreon I will try some different styles with the Abra."

"Sure." He responds a little off-put. Before turning away from her Gray ran his hand down her back. Touching the old scares his eyes narrowed some. A small physic impression came to him. These were not all caused by Pokemon. The Scyther did not move and started to eat the food quietly. "These look bad. I will see if I can get those treated for you." Walking off Gray sent some messages out to everyone. Sabrina responded first.

"Sure. Outback at the training field. It is around the far area to the left. I will meet you there."

Misty replied saying that Jacob would show her how to do some pokefusion. With him as an ice trainer as well, he figured his insight would help her. Grey responded as nice as he could, "no problem have fun. Also, we have to catch about the last few weeks." Considering she was the first person he met coming here and she was already dipping off, it would be best to reconsider how much time to invest in that friendship.

Trying something Gray moved his mind touching all of his pokemon. Just sharing the plan for today. Growlithe and Pyron went to do some self-training. Scyther and Empress would come to the training ground as well. Empress was to mostly observe the fight while she trained with the Scyther. Scyther was to observe Gray and Sabrina carefully.

Making it to the field, Gray spotted Sabrina in a purple tracksuit. Ori was to the side watching in her Espeon form. With the actual Espeon also nearby. Her eyes glared before turning away. There was a new edition to the group. A pink Fennekin stood to the side. Standing on two"s her eyes seemed fixated on Umbreon in a sneer. It actually wore a pair of gla.s.ses.

"Nice Pokemon. Where did you get it?" Gray walked up and tried to pet the little fox. She growled and stepped behind Sabrina. "Well.. ok then."

"Should we get started then?" Sabrina said with a smile. Her physic energy already started rolling off her.

"Sure. Nothing like a good spar" Looking at Midnight the two did Pokefusion." The process happened easily. In less than five seconds they merged. On the opposite side, Sabrina had just finished as well.

The fusion of her and the Fennekin was something to behold. They stood tall than normal at first glance. Looking down one could see they were floating an inch off the ground. Little flames moved around the paws. The face looked a little like Sabrina, but more of the pokemon for the ears and jawline. The legs were like a person. Same sizes as Sabrina, just covered in fur head to toe. The thighs did not have the sticking outside fur the pokemon had. Just smooth looking fur. Reaching her hand out, Sabrina summoned a whip made of fire condensed in pink energy.

"Let"s get started." With that, she snapped the whip sending it at Gray. "As I remember he is a close-range fighter. Let"s see if we can put pressure on him Fennekin." Communicating with her partner she dropped her guard to bait him.

Activating his pressure ability outward he steeled himself. Taking the blow head-on, Gray smacked the tip of the whip away with his backhand covered in aura energy. Taking two steps he went forward. Each step on the ground tore the ground up. Dirt flew up high with each step. Right as he moved up to Sabrina he backed kicked. This sent a sand-attack directly at her face.

Not expecting it she smirked a little. "Oh, so he learns to use non-offensive moves too. That is refreshing." Sabrina was able to place a physic wall up blocking the move. "Hmph. You are going to have to do better than that." Thinking her self in the advantage she moved back to see where Gray went. It was a mistake.

"Swoosh," Sabrina only heard the noise before she felt the attack hit her side. Gray used Quick Attack to get behind her and kneed her ribs. A slight popping noise came out.

"Pop, pop," Gray spotted the pained look on her face. He did some serious damage on that one. But in another second it was gone.

Sliding forward along the gra.s.s, Sabrina stabilized in the air. Seeing an attack come at her she moved the whip to strike. As it made contact the image disappeared. Turning around she was greeted with Gray"s open claw coming at her. Pushing against the ground with aura energy to give her more s.p.a.ce, she fired an Ember shot at his hand.

Gray wrapped some aura energy and moved a light made aura sphere around himself as he pulled back his hand in a tilted T. Forming a cross guard to block. The ember blast pelted his hastily made defense. Right as he landed on the ground from the push back, he was pelted by several flame whips.

"Whap, whap, whap, whap," as the whips tore against his fur, Gray just gritted his teeth and bared it. As the damaged kept hitting him he built his aura energy. Talking to Midnight he checked his state.

"How are you doing? I know your defense can take it."

"I am fine. Let"s wipe the smug smile off that Fennekin"s face." Midnight let out a howl that Gray couldn"t keep contained.

"Arroooo!" feeling his pokemon"s desire to keep fighting Gray grinned after the howl. He could feel their thoughts aligning more an more. It became easier to tap into each other"s fighting abilities.

When the whip came again he grabbed it with a coated hand wrapped in energy. With a quick jerk, he pulled it forward and Sabrina with it. Soon as she moved, he let go of the whip launching himself towards her. Pushing his physic energy he cloned himself creating five copies. Each was headed towards Sabrina.

"Do you honestly think that will work on me?!" Fixing her self midflight she sent a Physic wave at each of them. One by one her eyes followed as they each disappeared. "Hmph got you!" The last one took the blow before disappearing. "What the?!" Looking behind Sabrina noticed the first one reformed. "How did you do that?"

"Not gonna tell Luv." Stretching his hand out Gray pumped aura energy out with physic energy wrapped around to keep it contained and to help mask it. Sabrina rushed at him, with whip strikes. Closing his hand to ger ready to use it for defense again, he was surprised at what happened. The physic energy caused it to warp in his hand. It was too painful to keep contained. Firing it off, it turned into a pulse.

(Move learned. Dark Pulse.)

Whip slash met dark energy resulting in an explosion.

"Boom," the shockwave blew them both back and apart. Breathing heavily Gray kept himself afloat with his physic energy. Not really wanting to use it against Sabrina"s physic might, he used it sparingly mostly for defense. Using Quick Attack he shot through the smoke. Sabrina was right there launching herself forward. She used Flame charge. The intense flames were subdued by her physic energy.

"s.h.i.t we can"t get hit by that!" Thinking quickly Gray twisted his body to the side. As Sabrina pa.s.sed by him she singed his side. Seeing himself get the burn condition Gray became p.i.s.sed. Smacking against the ground, he put all his power in the move Pursuit.

Black aura energy gathered around him as his body honed in on Sabrina. The farther she moved from him the faster the move pulled on him.

Sabrina stopped herself in the air and teleported. Ending up behind Gray she was ready to wrap the whip around him to throw him down.

With Pursuit still in effect, Gray felt the air leave his lung"s as his body pulled towards her. The move was way more damaging then he imagines. The move refused to let it"s target go.

"What the.." her voice trailed off as Gray made it right to her. Just as he was in front of her she flipped her wrist firing a physic wave at his chest.

"Arggh," Gray yelled as he was sent flying to the ground. Covered in dust, he started getting up slowly. Staring at Sabrina location he stops himself from charging when he felt the burn on his side flare-up. Stopping the pokefusion he told Sabrina, "I give up. Your win."

Moving his hand over Midnight"s side he soothed the burn till he made it towards his bag.

"You should just give up like that. I can tell you could push out even more. That was nowhere near what you can do." Sabrina said sternly. Landing beside him, she stopped the fusion. Once she saw Gray using a burn heal from his bag she calmed down some.

Gray turned around smiling at her. "But you see it was just training. Midnight is still learning to fight. He just got over his injuries not too long ago. Pushing him too hard would be a bad idea." Seeing her face concerned he pa.s.sed her a potion. "For your Feenekin. To tide it over before you take it to the Pokecenter."

"Why would I need to do that?"

"I saw the way you flinched on your side. I know you are fine. But your Pokemon.. she is in pain despite holding it in." Gray looked at the little pokemon.

"Yeah, I am glad you noticed. She has trouble with giving up."

"It is fine. Even I wanted to continue." Finishing up on Midnight, Gray looked at the others. Ok, you two. You are next."

"I think you have another fight to do first," Sabrina said pointing behind him.

Pyron and Growlithe were in the area. Growlithe came up baring its fangs. "Fight me now! You are strong enough to fight me on your own."

"We agreed it would be later. What changed?" Gray stood up from his kneeling position. "What got into this little pup now?"

"I watched your fight with the woman. You held back. You never went for the kill!" Growlithe"s dark flame"s traveled around its body.

(Quest changed. Defeat Growlithe on your own.)

"We don"t just kill our friends. What is wrong with you?!" Gray actually became angry.

"Arrooo." Growlithe howled as black flames engulfed his body. Walking forward the ground burned with each step he took. A flaming wheel appeared behind him. Unable to get a real understanding of what happened Gray had to get out the wat from the Pokemon"s charge.

Growlithe"s used Quick attack then Headb.u.t.t on Gray.

Gray caught the Pokemon by the head throwing him to the side. "Ok, that"s it. Bad dog!" Looking at the pup"s unrelenting look Gray released his energy to fight. "Pokesoul!"

Something different happened this time. Instead of the combination of Giratina and Yvetal. he was a fusion of just the later Pokemon.

"This is different. There is no strain at all. What could have happened?" Seeing growlithe come again Gray sidestepped it and sent his tail claw against its side.

"Bam," The growlithe flew across the training area hitting a tree. Before the pokemon could stand up Gray already appeared in front of it. "You wanted a fight now you have one. Give me everything you got pup!"
