[One thing's absolutely clear: this isn't just a battle any more. It's a full-on war.
The arrival of the legendaries is impossible to miss. By far, this is the closest Riku's ever been to one, barring the golems some years back. They're massive, imposing, and cast the battlefield in a far more dismal light than before. The one upside is that he's gotten a good night sleep. He's managed to do a little restocking. One of those bizarre stones from the basement now rests in his pocket. While he's not sure what it is, it has to be important. Why else would they be hiding in the basement?
Well, one thing's for sure. There isn't time to dawdle, so, on the back of his trusty Charizard, Riku soars out of the Elite Four's stronghold and towards the sea. As they move, a flash of light envelopes them both. Flare lets out a startled grunt, but when the light fades, he's changed.
His scales are darker. Blue flames spew from the corners of his mouth. Riku tries to say something, but his shock renders him temporarily mute.
Besides, they've got bigger fish to fry.
So, in comes one young man on the back of his raging dragon. As they hit the ground, Riku shakes his head and rolls his eyes.]
Didn't your mom ever tell you not to count your fish before they hatch?
[Okay, so that joke was terrible, but given the whole aquatic motif, he really couldn't resist.]
