A/N: Hey guys! I got a couple of requests for a sequel to my first fanfiction, "Four Swords are better than Three", so here's the first chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon. If I did, the Pokémon Professors would give you Master Balls at the start of the games.

Okay, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Let's take the plunge into the Unova region! *big splash*


Four Swords: Rise of the Kami Trio

Chapter 1

Pokémon World Tournament, Unova Region

7th January, 2013

Spectators flocked out of the PWT stadium, laden with food and merchandise. The Rental Tournament that had commenced in the early hours of the morning had just finished, with the victor being a 15-year-old Ace Trainer from Johto. During the interval that had occurred between the third and fourth rounds, the audience had learned of the remaining competitors' backgrounds: Flint, a member of the Sinnoh region's Elite Four, Cascadia, an award-winning Pokémon Ranger from the jungle-like Almia region, and Clay, the Unova gym leader who needed no introduction due to his being the creator of the PWT.

And then there was Oliver. A short, scruffy boy who wandered up to the reception desk with a thin-looking Croconaw beside him. To the receptionist's astonishment, he had then produced a Trainer Card bearing the stamp of the Ace Trainer programme and asked if there were any tournaments open.

How the boy had won was still a mystery to the spectators and officials alike. As far as they could see when watching and rewatching the battle videos, Oliver hadn't been doing anything illegal, and yet he had seemed unsure of his victory when he sent Cascadia's Serperior sprawling across the floor. Maybe, they considered, it was just his shyness…

Anyhow, Oliver had sneaked out of the PWT stadium a different way from the spectators, so as not to get mobbed by fans. Stopping only to tie his vibrantly coloured shoelaces he made for a sleek speedboat that was moored up to a nearby jetty. Oliver leaned forward to address the driver, lowering his voice to an intense whisper.

"I did it. I planted the Trio. Everything is ready."
