The Everlasting Pokémon Journey

...Swampert. Knowing it is 4x weak to Grass you send out Lillian. You put the Mudfish Pokémon to sleep and use Quiver Dance three times to boost her stats as Swampert continues to sleep. The Gym Leader sighs and withdraws Swampert and sends out Skarmory. You use Petal Dance not expecting a switch, Critical Hit. Skarmory crashes to the ground defeated and the Slateport Leader curses his misfortune and sends out...
 
...Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Wait a minute, did he just summon a Yu-Gi-Oh! card to a Pokemon battle? After asking him this, he replies with "Yeah, so?" That's against the rules, isn't it? Upon asking this, Kaiba's response is "Screw the rules, I have...
 
...no need to explain myself to you.' Luckily for you Claire adjusts her glasses and notes that the Slateport Gym Leader isn't cheating after all and the Blue Eyes White Dragon is simply an illusion created by his Zoroark. Own Tempo Lilligant who is still boosted uses Petal Dance again KOing the Dark Unova Pokémon and causing the Gym Leader to send out his final Pokemon which is the Swampert from earlier who is no longer asleep. Whilst applauding your efforts Kaiba says...
 
...that he has never had a fight this difficult since dueling Yugi. Lillian of course OHKOs Swampert. The Card Badge is yours. Kaiba doesn't have a TM to give you, but he does give you his Blue-Eyes White Dragon jetpack. Awesome! Just as everyone is running to you to congratulate you on your victory, Kaiba quickly tells them to get back. Suddenly, a portal appeared right where everyone else was about to run to. Inside the portal was...
 
...an actual Blue Eyes White Dragon. Kaiba reassures you all that it is not here to harm the party. Kaiba tells you the Dragon informs him to tell you to tread carefully in Lavaridge Gym. He warns you that in Lavaridge Gym nothing is how it seems and the woman you spoke to earlier may not even have been Flannery. You thank him for this information but are concerned that you now have no way of prepping for the next Gym as this Flannery will almost certainly not use the All-fire team you'd expect. Before heading to Lavaridge you ask the Slateport Gym Leader...
 
...how he will ever return to his original dimension. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon that came from the portal started to speak. She says that the portal is Kaiba's way home. You bid them both farewell, and use your new Blue-Eyes White Dragon jetpack to fly to Lavaridge (Sabrina's Alakazam Teleported everyone else there, too). You see the Gym Leader "Flannery" and challenge her to a Gym Battle. She says there's no need for a Gym, and she'll battle you right here. You send out Pyra (about time the poor Delphox got to fight in a Gym Battle), and "Flannery" (if that is even her) sends out...
 
...Reuniclus. You look at 'Flannery' again. She looks vaguely familiar but is most definitely not Flannery. Knowing you need to defeat her to get the Heat Badge anyway you order Pyra to use Flamethrower which heavily damages the Green Jelly like Psychic Type and burns it. In response 'Flannery' orders Reuniclus to...

...set up a Calm Mind. Well two can play at that game! You order Pyra to set up a Calm Mind as well. A Calm Mind war has officially broke out, with both Pokemon spamming Calm Mind, until both are at maximum Sp Atk and Sp Def. (Reuniclus has Magic Guard, so the Burn it has doesn't hurt.) "Flannery" asks what the point of that was, since the damage will be the same due to Reuniclus's increased Sp Def cancelling out Pyra's increased Sp Atk. You then grin and tell Pyra to use Psyshock. The attack hits Reuniclus's unboosted Defense, instantly OHKOing it. "Flannery" sent out Honchkrow, Gastrodon, and Carbink (not at the same time), each OHKOed by Pyra's boosted attacks. "Flannery" angrily sent out her last Pokemon, which was...
 
...with Heatproof, Bronzong cannot be touched by Fire, so your Delphox is useless! You then correct her by saying that Heatproof only halves damage from Fire, not negates it. Caitlin is stunned in disbelief. Pyra then shows her how "useless" she is and obliterates Bronzong with +6 Flamethrower and Bronzong faints. Victory! Pyra is so happy that she not only fought in the Gym, she soloed it, too! Caitlin is defeated, which means another badge! (Sadly, you lost count of how many badges you've won at this point.) However, Caitlin refuses to give you a badge. She says...
 
...as you didn't actually beat Flannery you do not get the Heat Badge. Professor Birch (Who just happened to be passing) says that unfortunately she is right. Caitlin tells you Flannery is actually in Lavaridge Gym, watching Pokémon battle videos in the back of the Gym. Caitlin yawns and wishes you luck in your journey. You head to Lavaridge Gym and talk to the Gym Guide who tells you that Flannery's main Pokemon is...
 
...Torkoal like always, but you decide to go back to speak to Caitlin. You tell her that you're pissed that you're being refused a Badge, or any form of reward just because she didn't bother to tell you that she wasn't a Gym Leader when you specifically challenged her to a Gym Battle. That's Tauros Mulch! She basically lied to you and made you waste your time for nothing! Pyra is pissed too, since she basically did all that hard work for nothing! Caitlin, sensing and fearing your and Pyra's tremendous power and rage, quickly begs for mercy and hands over the Relic Badge from her friend Fantina and a Master Ball. This satisfies you and Pyra, so you decide to spare her. You decide to take on the Gym tomorrow and hang out with Sabrina, Claire, and Serena instead. You all talk about...
 
...if you crossed the line by acting in an aggressive manner to Caitlin. Your wife thinks you did and you resolve to apologise to Caitlin and buy her a box of chocolates tomorrow. Sabrina is pleased with this and wonders aloud or this Flannery in the Lavaridge Gym is indeed the real one, you say to her...
 
...you'll go and find out. On the way to the Gym, you see Caitlin again. You apologize for losing your temper and almost shouting at her. She accepts your apology and then apologizes for tricking you into thinking she was a Gym Leader. It turns out that she just likes to cosplay as other people, especially Flannery, and in the heat of the battle forgot to tell you the truth. She then points you to the real Flannery. After introducing yourself and asking for a Gym Battle, Flannery gladly accepts your request and you both agree to battle tomorrow. Suddenly, you hear Caitlin scream! You run to Caitlin to see what's wrong. She is apparently being attacked by an invisible group of...
 
...Clones of the legendary Helix! All of a sudden Steven appears and says to you; "Believe in The Peeko! I have been following you for quite some time now, and I believe that only you can stop Helix from taking over Hoenn!" In which you reply...
 
...Thank you Steven but I think Caitlin has this covered as you see her Gothitelle let out an ear splitting cry momentarily paralysing the Helix allowing Reuniclus to Thunder Punch them back to the Shadow Realm. Steven then kindly informs you that tomorrow Flannery will use Mega Camerupt tomorrow in the battle. You thank him and ask...
 
...him how he knows this. He says it's because he's Steven motherfrickin Stone. He then flies off on his shiny Skarmory. Okay then. You then take out all of your Pokemon and decide to let them relax in the hot springs. Floppers and Helena are splashing each other (and everything around them), Elizabeth is buried in the nearby sand, uninterested in the hot springs, while Marshall and Pyra seem to be deep in conversation. You then see Sabrina and ask her...
 
...if you remember the day you both got married. She says she does as being a Psychic Master she not only remembers that but everything else that has ever happened to her. You kiss your wife in amazement, you had no idea. She kisses you back and says that you should not underestimate Flannery and also tells you...
 
...that in the future, she wants to have a child. You tell her you want one too, as long as it's a real child this time, and not a sentient Sabrina doll from page 53. Suddenly, a loud echoing voice spoke from the heavens warning everyone (especially you) not to break the fourth wall again. You shouted "Okay, loud voice! I'll stop shattering your precious wall! Happy?" Sabrina chose to ignore this and suggested that the two of you should go...
 
...To the hot springs, to have a very relaxing time. On the way to the hot springs they run into Flannery. She asks you when you will be battling her again. You say you don't have time now. She answers...
