♪Hot Spring's Warming Up!♪

Leo and his friends arrive in Lavaridge Town, days later after Leo's fight with Wattson...

Leo looks around the town... "It looks nice here!", Matt replied "Yeah, (yawns) it's alot different from the others...", Aspen sighs "Can we stop now? We've been traveling for a while: there's alot more towns between gyms in this region...", Brandi adds "Yeah... even though we've been taking breaks, we haven't REALLY settled anywhere for a while: I'm tired too!". Jamie agreed "I'm sleepy too...", Wallace leers "Yes, let's rest for a while...". Celia smiles "I was not going to complain, but since we are all saying it: I am sleepy too!". Leo smiles "Yeah, even if we didn't walk everywhere, it's tiring...", Wallace replies "Let's go to the Hot Springs: We're already where we need to be!". They all agree, hours later... they relax and go to the Hot Springs, when they see Maxie walking out!? "? Something's wrong?!" Leo asks, as the Ex Team Magma leader stares at him... Wallace replies "He used to lead Team Magma, and dried to destroy earth with Groundon... while Team Aqua tried to flood it... luckily he's a X criminal, right?! Maxie♡? He must've simply been afraid because he saw me, and the new legend walking in here...". The man replied "I'm the EX leader of Magma, emphasis on EX... I lead them to be a peaceful organization and left... there's no reason for your, intimidation...", Wallace leers "I hope... everybody else hasn't learned their lesson yet...". Leo stares at him... "There's gangs everywhere?!", Maxie leers "Yeah, but don't worry... I'm not going back to that again... still.". He looks around "Let's talk inside...", they go in the Hot Spring's foyer as he then says "I don't think the International Police know yet, because Team Skull doesn't want anyone to know: ...They're rising again along with Rocket...", Brandi freaks as he continues "I didn't exactly spread the news that I'm just a Ranger and breeder now, so news spread to me... They don't know that I told you this, and I hope you keep it that way!". Wallace smiled " I shall not tell a single soul... thank you, so much!", Maxie sighs "I hope you use the info wisely... me and Archie trued to stop it from getting to big... but I haven't seen the guy since then... You better be smart with this...". He walks out... " Now, if you will excuse me...", Wallace leers "I'm SO happy he told me this...", Leo glared "We'll have a advantage...". The champion smiles "Ah yes we shall... We can relax now, but I can not wait to tell everyone we have a new legend, and a scoop on where another strike shall happen... Hmm, after this... a quick trip to any of the 3 regions shall help GREATLY...". He leers "But forget it for now...", Leo smiles "I'll try... Maybe I'll evolve knowing this?". Wallace leered "We shall see... but don't tense up too much!", The friends sign up, and go into the Hot Springs... Brandi stares at the water... "I... kinda wonder if I... I could...", she ran into Leo walking into the male side! "Brandi!" he laughs, she blushed "H... hey! Hey Leo! Sorry...". He smiles "Haha, you kinda wanna come in this side", she leers "I ain't THAT excited to fuck again!". Leo laughs "I don't know... it was fun! This woulda been up our alley! Ha!", she looks into his eyes "Yeah... We could just have our own bath... if...". Leo smiles "Yeah... I kinda wish I could with Celia... She's so different though! Shit!!!", he laughs  "I need ta go, if she saw us talking in just our towels, she'd be suspiscious!". Leo walks away... Brandi walks into the girl's bath... "Dammit... before he started dating her, he woulda been all over me...", she sat in the water "Wait! What am I thinking?! I don't NEED him to have fun... I could get any man I want!". She sat back as Aspen giggles "Finally... we can bathe, relax... and forget about watching our friend be beaten so he can save the world...", Brandi laughs "It's kinda insane, but... if that's how we'll save everyone...". Jamie giggled "It is sad we can not help! I'm sure me and Matty would be great Legends too!". Celia sighs "I am sure too! It might help Leo too, for one of us to support him!", she then thought "It'll also help if I let him go: I might be holding him back if I'm on his mind all the time...". Meanwhile, Leo sighs "Ah... this is Awesome... it feels good to finally relax...", Matt added "For me too... I've ben freezing this entire time... This Hot Spring's just what I need...", Wallace leers as he stretched "Yes... my dears, relax! For we have alot to do after we leave...". A hour later, Brandi gets out... "Shit... my mind's still on Leo... it's not fair he's...", she starts drying off "He's with Celia... they don't even act like a couple... though, he did grow those new wings only after they had that talk back in LittleRoot... Dammit...". She sqeezed her towel "I wonder... if I really like him? Or, I just miss the thing I culd relieve stress easily with? We admitted, we both used eachother to forget what we did... I just used him to forget what I did in Team Plasma..." Charizard wings start growing from her back?!!! She stops squeezing the towel... "No... I don't miss him, it's just relief...", they revert back as she turns... "Then... again... I do miss it, the feeling I coulda lived happily with him... I coulda imagined spending my life with someone who understood how I felt... he isn't as bad... but, I... kinda like Le...o...", shegrew Charizard wings, tail, talons and skin!!! Brandi only noticed the shadow from her wings!!! "What the...", her friends run into the room, then all stop in surprise!!! "What the fuck?!" Leo says, Brandi covers herself immediately "What the hell guys??! I look just like every other naked lady!", Leo replies "No, you evolved?!". Brandi stops... then looks at herself... "I did?!", Wallace then asks "Did something happen?". Brandi blushed slightly "No... I don't remember...", Jamie giggled "Come on! It only happens under emotional changes, you must've thought of something major just now!". Matt adds "Yeah! Tell us!", Brandi smiles as Wallace stares harder "You're also part Fly Type now?", she blushes harder "Um... that's from... back then...". Leo blushes too and looks away... "Hmm... you 2 dated before?" Jamie asks, Aspen laughs, until Brandi evolves into Mega Charizard Y!!!? Everybody stares in surprise at her new Mega Charizard wings, tail, and fangs!!! Fire emits from her mouth with every breath she took... Flannery then walks into the room with a towel on! "Ha!!! I kinda knew this would happen! I shoulda took the other stone with me too!", she leers at Leo... "Ah... there ya are!". Leo jumps "Who... are...", Matt tugs Leo's towel "Brotheeeer! She's beautiful!". Leo whispers to him "You can't whisoer that now! You're dating!", Matt sighed "I wish I knew there was a redhead here before I started! They're my favorites!", Leo replies "Stop talking about her, before Jamie realizes what you're saying!". Jamie glares at him as Leo snatched away from him "I'm sorry... who are you?!", she leers  "Puny Fighter, you've done well to make it this far!
I'm Flannery, and I'm in charge here!"
You'd better not underestimate me just 'cause I'm only a Gym leader! With the skills inherited from my grandfather, I'm gonna, demonstrate the hot moves we've honed in this land at my gym!". Leo freaks "O... okay, I'm going to evolve! Watch me!!!", Flannery laughs "Finally, now c'mon! Instead wastin' time here!".

The friends walk to the gym, as Leo tries to stop Matt from staring longingly at Flannery... while Jamie watched him... They enter the Lavaridge gym, Leo's friends sit on the bleachers, as Leo and Flannery get ready to battle!
