Now she expected more of a fight to really bring out the demon from the shadows however she not nothing in return for her attics. There was she was the princess of galar nothing but a weakness spineless woman at her feeet. The ghost knight once against pointed her sword towards Elise however the girl took her head. This had done enough mind damage to that last a life time. "Perish? If It was up to me you would be dead already however I don't want Amor-kins to get mad so I will kept you alive."

"Just look at you, you're weak. Losing against not once but twice however did managed to gained the ambassador? If you meant to represent galar no wonder things are they are now. You really are a shame to Calcifet's family name." Mirabella just added salt to the wounds before leaving the princess to think about and get added. She doubt that would be the last time they saw each other hopefully she could get a raise out of her who knows maybe she let her win next time they meant.

"You don't anything about the true world around. You privilege mind is still shun the real world and rotten is truly is. You greatest fear is not being good enough. You afraid of other hating you and you some serious abandonment issues like what happened with your sweet little ex boyfriend. He was a wonderful night I should say." Mirabella was toying with the royal at this point even those she knew that was very sore point and if Amor knew she said she was going to get her ass kicked in the heat of the moment she did not care.

The noivern let out crying falling into the sand below heavily wounded but alive. The masked woman returned it to his pokeball served him after what happened with Remmy. "You aren't the only one who can mega evolve here."  Mirabella taking hold of her mega hairpin. She had never done things before but she decided now it was better than any. 

She watched her gallade transforms in contrast the raging lucario he was heroic knight at her beck and call. "Finish this!"  Hearing his trainer command the Gallade's eyes lowered he raised one arm up the sky revealing the psychic energy like bubble he form around the princess and pokemon then with others he maked a fist. The bubble would explode with immense not enough (despite everything is not heartless) but their would some serious wound now.

Mirabella didn't what she wanted to do so Nightscream chose for her. The interdream mist may be slowly closer but the girl mind far from her surrounding. Look the former prince  she glint her teeth.

The noivern only snorted he wasn't a fan of being threats much less waiting. The  already annoyed pokemon turned feral let a passionate roar. He knocked the woman right of him onto the sand. The drizzle didn't matter to him at unleashed dragon blast at the turtle pokemon. Remiel's threat stutter something within beyond a little to fight but angry. No, the ex-prince's wraith would be nothing comparison to that of the dragon's type. He would make sure it.

"Oh no. I know everything about you, Elise? Your strenght? Your weakness. I know about galar region and even the real reason  Remy passed the torch." Mirabella decided just into have fun even if she now down one pokemon. Yes, she down one pokemon as the rat caught fire it tried to towards the water and didn't make it. It was burned alive which was kinda sad but she didn't care for things. Just another life to be throw into the folder. 

The Ceruledge only seemed to get more furious as the next shadow ball hit her however she wouldn't go down. Looking to nightscream they both nodded agreement  taking  flanking each other. The ghost knight slashed at the Mismagius seek revenge for the fallen rat while Nightscream attempt to keep that lucario off her by sending another flamethrower at him. Percival all the while was keeping himself calm  and charge an attack on the below.

"You mean pest? Running away from their homeland because they can't their issues together." Mirabella laughed at how fragile the princess of galar seemed to be unable to defend. Hell even she was more alerted the dangerous her pokemon can do. "Careful now, once he has  a taste doesn't until he full." 

As she spoke the rat licked of his teeth almost savoring it before lunge at her again for more. Unless she does something to defend this could get ugly fast well so than it already was. The moment her blade can in contact with lucario's skin she felt a rush flow each other. The fighting type  pain was ecstasy however the shadow ball left her a bit wounded and knocked her back a bit she remained standing. 

However Ceruledge spun around using a tornado of fire if she was lucky then the lucario would be trapped but that didn't stop Nightscream. He chuckled with a menacing glare unleashing a flame blast from his mouth. Who plays fair? Team Rocket never does.

Nightscream was still  wounded from the previous battles however that wasn't going to stop doing his duty to his new trainer. The noivern hissed at the other the human and his pokemon but Mirabella had no react. Dammit! Feelings could get in the way of duty even so one thing she dreaded was having to fight Remy.  Elise, she would end without care however the prince. Ugh!

Her disguise saved her from getting recognized but if she spoke a word. It would be over and the truth get out. So the woman simply glared down at the prince however there was nothing left to be said.  Nightscream hissed again with a scary face if they let them pass there wouldn't fun but if he didn't then things might get interesting.

"My god you talk to damn too much. I don't need to worry about anything you still just a foolhead as before." Mirabella rolled her eyes. How the hell did Amor get with someone like her when she spoke way too much or what it for the power? She didn't know nor did she care. She just wanted to make Elise suffer. "Royalty gets you nothing here in Hoenn, princess."

Her pokemon seemed far too eager to rid the princess to pieces and she couldn't say no to that.  The Raticate was the pokemon to take a swing lunge at Elise while her Ceruledge follow right after. Her flaming arm at slash at the lucario with a bitter blade. "Let's hope there will something left I can use back to that prince of yours once this is done."

Now once again she was back on top and was pleased however there no letting what might transpired in this round. It seems the judges had a death wish if they wasn't everyone to make vegetable bubble tea. This was her joke round where she was going to try be extremely creative.  Mirabella might worst score for this round but at the moment that was the last thing on the girl's mind. 

She combined cabbage, asparagus, beets, celery, and broccoli into a vegetable broth, while making her tapioca pearls as she normally did but this time to add a bit of rainbow jelly just to give a little bit power.  Now the tea was to be served! The judges would surely get a kick of this one no doubt. "For a vegetable bubble tea I simply just one vegetable so I used many. I prefer savory to sweet but don't tell Mocha."

The patroling the shore with her pokemon she didn't expected to find the princess still around here. She didn't learned her lesson the first time after bullshit of the battle at the sea she was going to have to kick her ass again for the second time now. "Well aren't you a pretty face. I hate that I have to ruin it!"

Her charcadet growled with hate and bitterness from what happened to her friends thanks to the actions of the royal. She was going to make her suffer for it. The fire knight didn't notice the bright light surrounding her until it was already done. She was a Ceruledge now and pointed it's blade at her enemy. The only thing on her mind was revenge and was going to her it.

"Oh fuck hell! That shit wouldn't work on me!" She had dealt with too many ships and water pokemon for that to surprise. The Noivern let out a deafening let a boomburst  destroyed the wave. She wasn't in a good mood to play either. Summon her riolu and gallade from their pokeballs. She looked down at the man annoyed. "Those is going one of two ways and you two deal with this stupid fish!"

Her flying types took that as their que and took into the air. The Noivern glared with scary face at the starmie while the owl wings glow green then he unleashed a furry of leaves down on it..

Now that getting a pokemon was settle Mirabella decided to just calm down and rest for moment. She wondered about Mocha but at the same time she was she would be fine.  The woman simply focus on her avatar as cute as it seems only her pokemon relived on to keep her safe and it was feral they become. Just her like lucky!

The red head said unlike she had said the announcement. It seemed the next was about to beginning this meant two things. The king snubbull was being control by someone who could access dreams and they were making a game out of all things. "Hmmm." Mirabella checked her inventory it was all over and notice the card. Okay she had either using this npc or team up with a loser. She would take the first choice. 

She looked around to seeing she could pair with some pair with but ultimately with group of three npcs. Each their their owns quirks and crazy name and pokemon so the this dungeon so be fine.

Quick Claw/Razor Fang/ Black Glasses [break]

The powers of Shadow pokemon never cease to amaze Mirabella. With Mocha new found shadow moves. They were clear each room with a decent about of time.  She used the card and award a few some items for Mocha. They both didn't and didn't make any sense. 

Mocha's  quick claw and Razor fang came in clutch that two battles against a shadow sneasel and weavile now all that was left was the fine boss. The black glasses were a bit useless but Mirabella guess they might gain a use somehow and Mocha walked into the final role where she said another shadow Alcremie. Okay that couldn't this.

The vain cream mon tried to use attract on the twisted be but it failed how weird. Then it unleashed a Max Flare which burn Mocha pretty go but was undo as ate some of a own cream to recover her heart. That didn't any sense unless..."Mocha if you listen to me that's an illusion this an zoroark!"  Mocha only stare at Mirabella before she began to glow brighter than ever. 

The shadow pokemon dazzling gleam combine with the razor hit the pokemon caught the fox illusion to disappear completely. It almost only her unova pokemon outside of the dream world. Mocha snarled hate thank Mirabella was right more than discover easy her foe could defeat. She was relentless  to DESTORY the pokemon every basic blow against countless max attacks.  Took it's trol on the troll but she didn't stop. Hit be hit and recover wash rinse and repeat until FINAL the zoroark lied defeat.

Mocha passed a few second later but it was over. A hard earned victory for the unlike pair.

Mirabella keep herself calm as she dropped from first to third in a blink of an eye. Even worse  did better than her with that stupid dance. That added some salt to the wounds but keep her composure. Mocha growled for being humiliated but the contest over with yet. A few more round before time was up. Mocha seemed indifferent just stares in her coldly.

Great. This meant she was done help her out anyone. The stupid vain shadow rat! Alright, I can do this! This time she didn't try to dragged the crowd attention for they seemed be on other things like how  was antagonizing the other folks.

She still had some leftover pearls and black tea bags from the last batch so she decided to keep. As an idea came to mine. Her hands were added warm water a few dried rose petals and into a cup and it aside to brew for. She took some to find rose syrup however after she did everything was ready. She added the pearls rose syrup into with a little ice for some much needs zest then poor the tea and milk together. She than sprinkled a few more rose petal on for some garnish. "Rose Petal Milk Bubble tea!"

Perfection. Exactly what Mirabella thrived for she looked at rivals there was something easily to outmatch then others. She knew her leading in first place could be so easily taken away. so she would step up her game if she wanted to remain the top dog. The race was on!. "Fruit...you say. I will give you all a little savory sweet then."

After a moment out she washes out her utensils and pans. Mocha seemed disinterested but the aid helped her human by making the sweetest sugar. Strictly a business deal but to the crowd was nothing but a gentle exchange. "Well isn't she the sweetest thing."


The twisted Alcremie just stared at the comment while Mirabella simply spoke onward to keep the crowd's attention drawn to her. "It's Autumn, is it not? Everyone loves pumpkin for the holidays as pie, explore little patches with their children even pumpkin spice latte however as bubble tea that is another thing entirely.” In all honesty she would never even think of those but that was the fun part.



"Now what to used? Oh these would nicely." She gathered her ingredients, Tapioca pearls, Pumpkin Spice, brown sugar, pumpkin pie Syrup, pumpkaboo, heavy cream, and black tea bags. She had never tried to use pokemon in dish but there was first time for everything.



She first cut up the pumpkaboo add into the a pan with normal and brown sugar then added it into a blender to make some fresh puree. Then she added half of the Tapioca pearls use planned to used this round to a pot to boiling with a lid over them. Then a small boiling pot, she whisk the brown sugar until the water dissolves. Mocha added her sugar even so often because she let like it however Mirabella didn't play it any mind.

It would eventually water everything behind a rich brown syrup. It was simple but smell so sweet almost if it was candy. The redhead poured the remained pearls she had left them to marinate for a bit.

"Now the tea i prefer green or earl grey are my personal favorite however black tea will use to make we don't have too sweetness. There always needs to be a balance." While she began to brew to the tea she could help noticing 's dance. Lord it wasn't bad...just painful. He really should stick to his day job of being a rocket beast. 

Mocha snouted a silent signal that her pearls were done and Mirabella cope them out and set aside to dry. She pour the syrup and pumpaboo puree into a blender added some heavy cream and. Finally everything was done! Divided the pearls and black tea added the pumpkin cream and a little pumpkin spice on the top. She was ready to see what the judges had to say about this now. "Pumpkin Spice Bubble Tea! For you taste bud to enjoy!"

What the living hell did I get myself into?  When Mirabella said yes she expected many things but not this. She had bitten off more than she could chew but it seems she was too late to go back now. She listened to Snubbull King's words. So the castle was the line of defense against these Shadow pokemon and the king was offering everyone a Dream Ball which she took the item with skepticism.

Shadow pokemon. She heard about them there was some research done on them hell she knew owned one of the strongest shadow pokemon around being Lugia. However fight these monsters of warfare and bloodlust it was a different beast. Mirabella was fine with the challenge in fact she couldn't wait to see what she was made of.

Many different people decided to work in pairs but she didn't want to be held down leaving to the forest alone. She raced one to find her own pokemon. It had to be somewhere but find it was like nettle in a hay stack. After sometime another prompt appeared show her power.

Her powers were more stupid than she never image but she might be able to make it work. She looked around it was oddly quiet now- too quiet! After a moment several shadow pokemon and ran even so often drop a treat or two. Mirabella managed to climb a tree.  Saving from the wraith of the pokemon below least for the moment. That gone her an idea. 

Mirabella dropped a dozens cookies on the ground below of course the shadow pokemon were interested focus on her however it seem hungry eventally set in the began to munch only to feel the terrible pain from the spicy treats. She took at her change jump from opposite side of tree and ran away. The chase was once again on while she dove into the brush and remaining quiet she heard the enraged movement past her and in the distance.

She was safe least for the moment. The woman let a sighed of stepping out of the bursh but she was too quick. Her guard was only and she let cool sting on a ice blast hit her in the back.  Mirabella turns to see her beloved pokemon now a twisted being of who she once was. 
"Mocha?" Why she like this out of her pokemon? Mocha didn't seemed to remember or understood as feral as they come. The bond they once shared was lost to wind. The fairy only snarled appeared another ice attack which the human. Not good if she didn't capture her now she was going to have wait another day to do.  However she doubt last long against her.

This an idea stuck Mirabella ran around the shadow pokemon while it tried to freeze her solid. One by one the woman form a few fake dream ball pastries until both had her arm full of them. It was she took another ice blast to the side making her grasp in pain. One more and it would be over.

Okay now! Mirabella threw alll the fake dream balls at the Alcremie. Mocha only snarled with a dazzling gleam she caught some ball expode while she froze soild. However to her shock they were food. 

"Got ya!"  Mirabella flew the real dream ball  just as the shadow pokemon noticed she had been fooled.  In seconds her pokemon was caught and another prompt appeared. If she wanted to change her back or not. She had never had a shadow pokemon of her own before. This was the perfect time to see what power does it hold.
