Chapter 1: Welcome to the Dissidia League!
Dissidia Stadium
"Greetings to everyone here in the Dissidia Region! As many of you Trainers probably know, today is the start of the Dissidia League Championship! Many Trainers have come all over the world to compete in this historic League Championship, but only one Trainer will become Champion of the Dissidia League and the region itself! I hope to see all of you at the opening ceremony in the main stadium later tonight!" said the lead newsman on TV. After that saying, all the participating Trainers of the Championship sat down in the main waiting room. They all looked at each other knowing what's at stake here. Deep in their hearts, they all want to be the Champion of the Dissidia League. They stopped looking at each other as they heard a door open.
"Good morning everyone. My name is Cosmos and I'm the lead chairwoman of the Dissidia Championship League. I want to thank you all for making it this far to the start of this wonderful place to show your true strength and bonds with your Pokémon. I understand of the journeys you all went through in this region, earning your eight official League Badges to enter, and fully experience the world and Pokémon around you. I wish you all the very best of luck in this tournament and may the best Trainer win it all." said Cosmos. She looked towards her assistant, Materia, and left the room. Materia looked at the Trainers as they all looked at her.
"Hello, my name is Materia and I am the main assistant to Cosmos. I am here to assign you all to your rooms during your stay here and tell you all to be at the main dining room at 5:30 p.m. before the main ceremony at 7:00 p.m. tonight. Do I make myself clear?" said Materia. "Yes ma'am." said the Trainers. "Good. Now when I call your name, tell me that you're here and then come upto me to get your room number." said Materia. She looked at the 22 Trainers as she took out her clipboard and then saw their names. "Warrior of Light?" she said. "Here." said Warrior of Light as he stood up. He walked to her and got his room number. He walked back to his seat seeing the rest of the Trainers looking at him. "Alright. Next is Firion." said Materia.
"Right here." said Firion. He walked up and got his room number. "Excellent. Onion Knight?" said Materia. "Here." said Onion Knight. He got his room number and sat down in his seat. "Cecil Harvey?" said Materia. "That's me." said Cecil. "Perfect." said Materia as she gave Cecil his room number. "Kain Highwind?" she said. "Here." said Kain as he got his room number. "Bartz Klauser?" said Materia. "Right here." said Bartz as he got his room number. "Terra Branford?" said Materia. "Here." said Terra shyly as she got her room number.
"Cloud Strife?" said Materia. "Right here." said Cloud as he got his room number. "Quick question?" Cloud asked. "Yes?" said Materia. "What if some of us get the same room number?" said Cloud. "That means that person or a few people will be your roommate." said Materia. "Ok." said Cloud as he sat back down. "Tifa Lockhart?" said Materia. "You got it." said Tifa as she got her room number. "And by the way, all the girls will have one big room together." said Materia. All of the boys were surprised to hear that. "Squall Leonhart?" she said. "Here." said Squall as he got his room number. "Laguna Loire?" said Materia. "That's my name." said Laguna as he got his room number. "Zidane Tribal?" said Materia. "That's me." said Zidane as he got his room number.
"Tidus?" said Materia. "Yes ma'am." said Tidus as he got his room number. "Yuna?" said Materia. "Here." said Yuna as she got her room number. "Shantotto?" said Materia. "That's right." said Shantotto as she got her room number. "Prishe?" said Materia. "You got it." said Prishe as she got her room number. "Vaan?" said Materia. "That's me." said Vaan as he got his room number. "Lightning?" said Materia. "Here." said Lightning as she got her room number. "Y'shtola?" said Materia. "Right here." said Y'shtola as she got her room number. "Ramza Beoulve?" said Materia. "Here." said Ramza as he got his room number. "Ace?" said Materia. "Here." said Ace as he got his room number. "And, Noctis Lucis Caelum?" said Materia. "Right here." said Noctis as he got his room number.
After all that, Materia left the room after telling all the Trainers to interact with each other and train for a little bit before dinner. They all walked outside to the practice field seeing how huge the practice field is. As they all walked around the field, they saw alot of people near the main stadium with their Pokémon bonding together. After seeing that, they all looked at each other wondering about each others Pokémon. Which certain Pokémon makes them unique? What kinds of journeys did they all go through? How did they all get this far? Do they have Pokémon that they have never seen before? After that, they walked back to the middle of the practice field and stood around in a circle.
"Alright, listen up everyone! Once I become Champion, I will be the most powerful Trainer in the world! And no one will ever beat me!" said Prishe proudly. "That's if you ever make it to the finals." said Zidane. Prishe's eyes widened in anger and glared at Zidane. "You better watch your mouth you little thief, unless you want to battle me right now." said Prishe. "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get. A full battle to be exact." said Zidane. All of the other Trainers were surprised of what Zidane had just said. "A full battle huh? You got a deal." said Prishe.
On the practice battlefield
"This battle will be a full six-on-six battle. The winner will be decided when all six Pokémon of one Trainer has been defeated. Substitution is allowed. You both understand these rules?" said Firion. Zidane and Prishe nodded their heads understanding the rules of a full battle. "This could be interesting." said Vaan. "It could be, who knows what kinds of Pokémon they have on their teams." said Bartz. "If one of them has a full team of Magikarp, then this battle will absolutely be the stupidest battle of all time." said Vaan. "Don't jinx yourself kid." said Squall. "Who are you calling a kid?" said Vaan in an annoyed tone. "You because you're acting like one." said Squall. Vaan looked at him all shocked and then got mad at him. "Vaan, it's not worth it." said Bartz. He took a deep breath and then relaxed from what just happened.
"Hey man, you ok over there?" said Zidane. "Yeah I'm good." said Vaan. "Good, 'cause you are going to see the greatest battle in history!" said Zidane proudly. "Once I win." said Prishe. Zidane glared at Prishe angrily. "Ok you two, send out your first Pokémon!" said Firion. "Ok Incineroar, come on out!" said Prishe as she threw a PokéBall into the air. It opened and her Incineroar leapt into the air, then landing onto the ground on its right knee in front of Prishe. "Incineroar!" said Incineroar. Zidane's eyes widened in shock, along with everyone else. Incineroar showed a smirk on its face ready to face Zidane's team. "Wait a second, isn't Incineroar a dangerous Pokémon to train?" said Bartz. "That is true, due to its violent, selfish disposition. If it's not in the mood to listen to its Trainer's orders, it'll ignore them with complete nonchalance." said Tifa. "And they sometimes launch attacks at opposing Trainers too." said Squall. "That's a little reckless don't you think?" said Vaan. Squall and Tifa nodded their heads yes. "Ready to face me now Zidane? Incineroar and I are undefeatable in battle together. You can say that the two of us are completely in sync." said Prishe.
After hearing what she said, Zidane closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and looked at Prishe and Incineroar. "There's something that you should know Prishe." said Zidane as he took out a PokéBall. "And what is that?" she asked. "It's that Water always beats Fire! Greninja, let's do this!" he said as he threw the PokéBall into the air. It opened and Zidane's Greninja appeared onto the ground, standing on its hind feet with its arms crossed. "Greninja!" said Greninja. "So that's what a Greninja looks like." said Cecil. "It is one of the best Water-type Pokémon in the whole world! Moving with the speed and grace of a ninja, and attacking enemies with throwing stars out of compressed water, and their loyalty to their Trainers. That makes Greninja one of the best Pokémon ever!" said Tidus in awe. Squall, Cloud, and Noctis rolled their eyes as they looked at Tidus. "The battle may now begin!" said Firion.
"Ladies first." said Zidane. "If you insist. Ok Incineroar, use Bulk Up!" said Prishe. Incineroar growled and used Bulk Up. "So that's how she's going to play huh? Using Bulk Up to boost its physical Attack and Defense? It may look stronger now, but they don't know the strength that Greninja and I have together. Us thieves always have something up our sleeves." Zidane thought to himself. "Now use Darkest Lariat!" said Prishe. "Incineroar!" yelled Incineroar. It put out both its arms and spun around quickly, aiming at Greninja. "Dodge with Double Team and use Water Shuriken!" said Zidane. "Grenin!" said Greninja. It successfully used Double Team and dodged Incineroar's attack. Zidane also dodged the attack just in time before it hit him. Incineroar stopped and looked around confused of where Greninja was. Once it looked at the battlefield, it saw many Greninja there. "Incineroar! Watch out!" Prishe yelled. Incineroar looked up and saw Greninja throw a Water Shuriken at it and it hit it, knocking it back to the battlefield. "Nice work Greninja!" said Zidane. "Ninja!" said Greninja. Everyone else was surprised of Greninja's speed.
"Incineroar, are you alright?" Prishe asked. Incineroar stood back up, smiled at Prishe, winked its right eye and gave her a thumbs up letting her know that it's ok. Prishe sighed in relief. "How is she able to keep it tamed?" Onion Knight asked. "Because of their powerful bond together." said Shantotto. Onion Knight looked at her as she looked at him. "You see, Incineroar is her Starter Pokémon ever since it was a Litten. They traveled the region together to become the strongest partners in the world, but along the way they had some ups and downs because they truly didn't understand each other." said Shantotto. "How did you know that?" said Onion Knight. "I've traveled with them. They used to win many battles, then one day; they lost to their main rival. It shattered their young hearts and it took a heavy toll on them. Poor child blamed herself for the whole thing and ran away for a bit, leaving Incineroar upset too. We went into to forest and found her looking down at a river. I consoled them and told them that they needed to fully understand each other. Ever since then, they rekindled their friendship and their bond has become alot stronger than ever before." said Shantotto. "Wow that was an amazing story." said Onion Knight. "Thank you deary." said Shantotto. They looked back at the battlefield.
"Incineroar, use Flame Charge!" said Prishe. Incineroar growled, stomped its feet, and cloaked itself with fire. After stomping its feet a few more times, it started running towards Greninja and hit it, knocking Greninja down to its back. "Greninja!" Zidane yelled. "Time to end this quick. Use Focus Blast!" said Prishe. "Incine-" said Incineroar as it charged Focus Blast in its paws. "Oh great, it's another Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon." said Vaan in an annoyed tone. "Uh Vaan? Incineroar is a Fire/Dark-type Pokémon." said Bartz. Vaan's eyes widened in shock. "What?! Are you serious?!" said Vaan. Bartz nodded his head yes. "Looks like the kid over here doesn't know his Pokémon types." said Squall. Vaan was mad from Squall's insult, but he remembered to keep his cool, so he turned back and resumed watching the battle. "Incineroar!" yelled Incineroar as it shot the Focus Blast out of its paws towards Greninja.
As the Focus Blast came near, Zidane began to shake in fear hoping for Greninja to get back up quick. A couple seconds later, Greninja got back up and deflected the Focus Blast, sending it back to Incineroar, hitting it, and knocking it out. "Incineroar!" said Prishe. "Incineroar is unable to battle. Greninja is the winner!" said Firion. "Alright! Way to go Greninja!" said Zidane excitedly. "Greninja!" said Greninja excitedly. Firion looked behind him and saw all the other Trainers in shock of the first result. Prishe walked to her Pokémon, knelt down, and petted its head. "Thank you Incineroar for a great battle." said Prishe. Incineroar purred its face onto Prishe's face as a sign of thanks. "Now you get a good rest." said Prishe as she returned Incineroar back to its PokéBall. She walked to her side of the field and looked at Zidane and hid Greninja as they looked at her. "What's the matter Zidane? This battle isn't over yet!" said Prishe. Zidane smiled happily from her response. "Let's see what you got next!" said Zidane. "You got it! Now, Electivire! Come on out!" said Prishe. She threw an Ultra Ball into the air and Electivire came out. It charged up the tips of its tail and thumped its chest. "Electivire!" said Electivire proudly.
"So she has an Electric-type Pokémon to counter Greninja? Nice." said Tifa. Cloud and Noctis nodded their heads in agreement. "I wonder where she got it?" Tifa asked. "Probably someone traded it to her." said Lightning. "But can it keep up with Greninja?" said Tifa. "Who knows." said Lightning. "Ok Zidane, let's see if you can handle a few jolts from Electivire." said Prishe. "Greninja return!" said Zidane. He returned Greninja to its PokéBall. "I guess he knew of the type disadvantage." said Warrior of Light. "Well yes, but what does he have to counter Electivire?" said Cecil. "Let us see for ourselves." said Warrior of Light. Zidane took out an Ultra Ball, looked at it, and smiled. "Krookodile, it's show time!" said Zidane as he threw the Ultra Ball. The ball opened and Krookodile appeared. "Krook." said Krookodile. "Now we're talking." said Squall. Zidane's Krookodile smirked at Prishe's Electivire, making it ready to battle. "Krookodile, use Dragon Claw!" said Zidane. "Krooka." said Krookodile. Its claws glew light green and started running towards Electivire. "Stop it with Ice Punch!" said Prishe. "Elect." said Electivire. It charged its right hand with a little blizzard after its hand glew light blue, watched Krookodile jump into the air aiming its claws at it, and both attacks collided, making a little explosion. Everybody shielded their eyes from the smoke and dust. Once it all faded away, everyone saw Electivire standing tall and Krookodile down on its left knee. "Krookodile!" said Zidane worriedly. "Lets end this! Use Dynamic Punch!" said Prishe. "What?! Since when can Electivire know that?!" said Zidane in fear. Electivire charged its fist with full power and ran towards Krookodile. Before the punch came close, Krookodile suddenly glew red, stood back up, and roared angrily sending off some kind of aura knocking Electivire back a few feet. Prishe and the rest of the Trainers became shocked and surprised of what just happened.
"What the?" said Vaan. "What's happened to it?" said Bartz. "Anger Point." said Kain. Vaan and Bartz looked at him all confused. "Anger Point?" said Bartz. "It's one of Krookodile's abilities. It raises Krookodile's Attack stat to its maximum after taking a critical hit from its opponent." said Kain. "Does it make Krookodile more dangerous?" Vaan asked. "I'm not sure." said Kain. Vaan and Bartz looked at each other nervously hoping that everything will be ok. Krookodile's aura disappeared from its body and then its gray eyes glew red for second before going back to gray. "Uh oh." said Prishe. "Krookodile, use Power Trip!" said Zidane. "Krookodile!" said Krookodile. It charged its power within itself, stomped its feet on the ground once, and shot off like a missile towards Electivire, hitting it and knocking it out in the process. "Krooka." said Krookodile. "Electivire is unable to battle. Krookodile is the winner." said Firion. "Electivire return." said Prishe as she returned Electivire to its Ultra Ball. "Good job out there, now you get a good rest." said Prishe. After putting Electivire's ball away, she takes out a PokéBall. "Machamp! Lets do this!" said Prishe as she threw the PokéBall into the air. The PokéBall opened and Machamp appeared. "Machamp!" said Machamp. Machamp and Krookodile stared at each other and showed little smirks, trying to intimidate one another. "Krookodile, use Aerial Ace!" said Zidane. "Krooka!" said Krookodile. Krookodile's arms glew light blue and started running towards Machamp. "Quick, grab its tail!" said Prishe. As Krookodile was close, Machamp grabbed its tail. "Krook!" said Krookodile. "Huh?!" said Zidane. "Now use Submission!" said Prishe. "Ma-champ!" said Machamp. It threw Krookodile into the air, jumped up, grabbed Krookodile's torso trapping its arms, and dived down to the ground, knocking out Krookodile. "Krookodile is unable to battle, Machamp is the winner!" said Firion.
Zidane took out Krookodile's Ultra Ball and looked at his Krookodile. "Krookodile return." said Zidane. After it returned, Zidane looked down at the Ultra Ball in his hand. "Thanks Krookodile. You get a good rest." said Zidane. He put the ball away and looked at Prishe and her Machamp. "Looks like she's a skilled Trainer after all. Who knows what she'll send out after Machamp? There's only one way to find out." said Zidane in his thoughts. He looked at his belt and saw a Dusk Ball next to Greninja's PokéBall. He took out the Dusk Ball and showed a smirk. "You're up Honchkrow!" said Zidane as he threw the Dusk Ball into the air. The Dusk Ball opened and Honchkrow appeared, soaring around the battlefield while staring at Machamp. After soaring, it flew down to its master and landed on its feet onto the ground. "Honchkrow!" said Honchkrow. "A Honchkrow?" said Prishe. "Well that's one Pokémon you don't see everyday." said Cecil. "I've never seen a Honchkrow before." said Yuna. "Honchkrow is the evolved form of Murkrow. When Murkrow is exposed to a Dusk Stone, it evolves into Honchkrow. They say that they will never forgive the mistakes of the Murkrow that follow it. With a mere cry, it can summon and organize Murkrow flocks in this manner. People would call Honchkrow the "summoner of the night"." said Kain. As they all looked at Honchkrow, Noctis felt a chill in his spine. "Noctis, are you alright?" Tifa asked him. "Yeah, I'm fine. Its just... I remember someone who has a Honchkrow as his main partner." said Noctis. Tifa noticed that Noctis felt a little tense when he saw Zidane's Honchkrow. Cloud, Squall, and Lightning also noticed too, but the three of them chose not to say anything.
Prishe and Machamp stared at Zidane and Honchkrow wondering what is their strategy. "Gotta take this bird down quick. Machamp, use Rock Slide!" said Prishe. "Champ!" said Machamp. "So that's how she's gonna play huh?" said Zidane to himself. Machamp summoned rocks from the sky and they started falling down towards Honchkrow. "Dodge it!" said Zidane. "Krow!" said Honchkrow. It flapped its wings and flew away from the oncoming attack. "That thing is fast!" said Prishe. "Sky Attack now!" said Zidane. "Honchkrow! Honch-." sad Honchkrow as it cloaked itself in a sparkling orange and gold aura, flying down towards Machamp. "Machamp, stop it with Cross Chop!" said Prishe. "Champ!" said Machamp. It crossed its two bottom arms, watched them glow white, and ran towards Honchkrow, making both attacks collide. Everybody around the field covered their eyes as the attacks made a little explosion. A couple minutes had passed and the smoke and dust faded away. Everyone opened their eyes and saw Honchkrow standing on top of Machamp. "Machamp is unable to battle, Honchkrow is the winner!" said Firion. "Great job Honchkrow!" said Zidane happily. "Honchkrow!" said Honchkrow happily as it flew to Zidane. "Machamp return." said Prishe. After it returned, Prishe looked down at the PokéBall in her hand. "Thank you Machamp, you were great out there. You deserve a good rest." said Prishe. She put the PokéBall away and took out a Nest Ball. "What is she up too? She knows that she only has three Pokémon left, but still I gotta be cautious of what she'll bring out next." said Zidane in his thoughts. "Bewear! Come on out!" said Prishe. The Nest Ball opened and Bewear appeared. "Wear!" said Bewear as it waved its arms. Everybody except Prishe got all scared of Bewear. "What's the matter Zidane? You scared of this cutie in front of me?" said Prishe.
Zidane looked at his Honchkrow nervously and looked up at everyone else seeing them take about ten steps back. "Well are you?" said Prishe. "Huh?" said Zidane. "You afraid of my Bewear?" Prishe asked. "Uh... yeah 'cause its one the most dangerous Pokémon in the world." said Zidane. "How can this adorable creature be dangerous? He wouldn't even harm a fly." said Prishe. "Except when it hugs their Trainers and break their spines." said Zidane. Prishe's eyes widened in shock to Zidane's response. It took her a minute to process what Zidane said, then she got her focus on the battle back. "Don't believe what he had said. You can't let him get into your head Prishe. He doesn't know what Bewear is capable of. Just focus and you'll be fine." said Prishe in her thoughts. "Bewear, use Giga Impact!" said Prishe. Bewear roared, charged itself with power, and launched like a rocket towards Honchkrow, hitting it successfully. "Honchkrow!" said Honchkrow. Zidane's eyes widened in shock as his Honchkrow landed onto the ground. All the other Trainers eyes widened in shock. "Didn't see that coming." said Cecil. Everyone watched Honchkrow slowly start to get up and fly in mid air again, shaking dirt off its feathers. "You alright Honchkrow?" Zidane asked. "Krow!" said Honchkrow. "How can it still fight?! That Giga Impact should've knocked it out." said Prishe. "Strong bond. Now Honchkrow, use Psychic!" said Zidane. Honchkrow's eyes glew light blue, using its psychic power lifting Bewear in mid air and throwing it down, knocking it out. "Bewear is unable to battle, Honchkrow is the winner." said Firion. "Bewear return." said Prishe as Bewear went back into its Nest Ball. "You were great Bewear. Take a good rest." said Prishe. She put the Nest Ball away and took out a Great Ball. "Granbull, time to shine!" said Prishe. The Great Ball opened and Granbull appeared. It let out a bark and then growled at Honchkrow. "She's got a Fairy-type on her team?!" said Zidane. "Now Granbull, use Play Rough!" said Prishe. Granbull let out a bark/roar and used its attack on Honchkrow, knocking it out. "Honchkrow is unable to battle, Granbull is the winner!" said Firion. Zidane's eyes widened in shock seeing his Honchkrow defeated after two successful battles. He took out Honchkrow's Dusk Ball and returned Honchkrow to it silently. "You were great out there Honchkrow, thank you so much my friend. Now you get a good rest." said Zidane. He put the Dusk Ball away and took out Greninja's PokéBall. "Come on back Greninja!" said Zidane as he threw the PokéBall in the air. It opened and Greninja appeared again. "Ninja!" said Greninja.
Prishe was surprised to see Greninja back on the battlefield. Greninja looked at Granbull for a few seconds and then looked back at Zidane, sensing his nervousness and anxiety. "Grenin." said Greninja. Zidane looked at Greninja as it looked at him. Greninja turned to Firion and made a time out sign to him. "Time out. You got two minutes Zidane." said Firion. "Huh?" said Zidane. He looked back at his Greninja, seeing it walk upto him. "What in the world is it doing? Why did it want a time out?" said Tifa. "It wants its Trainer to relax." said Cloud. "Hm?" said Tifa. "It can sense that Zidane's all nervous, so its trying to help him come back to his senses and help him focus again." said Cloud. "Ah." said Tifa. They both looked back at the battlefield and watched Greninja stand in front of Zidane. "Greninja?" said Zidane. Greninja put its right hand up and made a fist. "Ninja." said Greninja. Once he saw the look on his Greninja's face, Zidane's anxiety and nervousness disappeared. Zidane blinked his eyes, smiled, and gave a thumbs up to Greninja. "Thanks buddy." said Zidane happily. Greninja nodded its head, turned towards Granbull, and walked back onto the battlefield. "Everything alright Zidane?" Firion asked. "Yeah, I'm ok. Just needed a few seconds to relax." said Zidane. "You want to continue the battle?" Firion asked. Zidane nodded his head yes to Firion's question. "Alright, this battle continues!" said Vaan happily. "Thank goodness." said Terra.
"Ready bud?" said Zidane. "Grenin." said Greninja. "Ok, use Water Shuriken!" said Zidane. "Stop it with Thunder Fang!" said Prishe. Greninja created its Water Shuriken and threw it towards Granbull. Granbull's mouth became charged with electricity and bit down on the shuriken as it came close, making it evaporate. in front of its face. "Granbull get out of there!" said Prishe. Granbull got away from the mist and saw that Greninja was gone. "Where did it go?" said Prishe. She looked at Zidane and saw a smirk on his face. "What is he up too?" said Prishe. "Gunk Shot now Greninja!" said Zidane. Greninja appeared behind Granbull, put its hands together making a garbage bag, and threw it at Granbull. "Granbull!" said Prishe. "Now use Hydro Pump!" said Zidane. "Grenin-ninja!" said Greninja. It charged a powerful force of water in its right hand and shot it at Granbull. "Granbull you ok?" Prishe asked. Granbull stood up, looked at Prishe, and made a happy bark to let her know that its ok. "Thank goodness, now use Close Combat!" said Prishe. "Dodge it with Double Team!" said Zidane. Greninja prepared to dodge and all of a sudden, its legs glew light blue and it didn't use Double Team. "What happened? Did it just forget to use Double Team?" said Tidus. "I think it just learned a new move to replace Double Team." said Yuna. Greninja and Granbull's attacks collided for few seconds and then Granbull got hit in the head by Greninja's left foot, knocking it down and out. "Granbull is unable to battle, Greninja is the winner." said Firion. "Greninja? Did you just learn Aerial Ace?" Zidane asked. "Nin." said Greninja as it nodded its head yes. "That's awesome! You can use Aerial Ace now!" said Zidane happily. Greninja nodded its head happily to its Trainer's response.
Prishe took out Granbull's Great Ball and made it return to it. "You did great out there Granbull. Now you take a good rest." said Prishe. She put the Great Ball away and took out a Safari Ball. "This is it, my last Pokémon. Time to give it all I got." said Prishe in her thoughts. She looked down at it and showed a smile. "It's all you now Breloom!" said Prishe as she threw the Safari Ball. It opened and Breloom appeared. "Loom!" said Breloom. "Well this should be easy." said Zidane. "That's what you think." said Prishe. "What?" Zidane asked. "Breloom, use Mach Punch!" said Prishe. "Breloom!" said Breloom. It punched Greninja at blinding speed, sending it back near Zidane. "Greninja!" said Zidane worriedly. "Use Mach Punch again!" said Prishe confidently. "Loom!" said Breloom confidently. It ran towards Greninja, ready to strike again, but Greninja got back up and dodged the attack. "What?!" said Prishe. "Greninja, Aerial Ace!" said Zidane. Greninja's legs glew light blue and ran towards Breloom, striking its back with both feet. The impact from Aerial Ace sent Breloom flying towards everyone else. They all dodged Breloom and watched it hit a couple trees. "Breloom!" said Prishe worriedly. Firion ran over to Breloom and saw that it was knocked out. "Breloom is unable to battle, Greninja is the winner. And that means that Zidane has won the match!" said Firion. Prishe returned Breloom to its Safari Ball and she looked down in defeat. "Prishe? You ok?" Zidane asked. She looked up and saw him and his Greninja looking at her. "Yeah, I'm ok. At first I thought I was going to win it all, but then I got pretty careless throughout most of the battle. I guess you can say that I was overconfident." said Prishe. "You weren't overconfident and careless." said Zidane.
Prishe looked at Zidane all surprised from his response. "You are a really good Trainer. Heck, you managed to take down two of my strongest Pokémon. Truth is, I just only underestimated you once the battle began, but once your Incineroar gave my Greninja a hard time; I knew that from now on I should not underestimate anyone. I can sense a powerful bond between you and your team. They are the reason that you're here in the first place. They know that they will give it their all in battle just for you. You taught them to be strong together not as a team, but as a family." said Zidane. Everyone around them was touched by Zidane's words knowing their own teams must be happy to hear that too. "Zidane? Thank you for those words." said Prishe. "You're welcome." said Zidane. "Ninja." said Greninja. Zidane and Prishe shook hands after that. They looked at everyone else and saw most of them showed smiles. "We should get back inside, the sun's beginning to set." said Cecil. "Something tells me that its dinnertime." said Vaan. They walked back inside and went to the main dining room.
Main Dining Room
The Trainers walked into the room and saw Cosmos and Materia talking with someone. They all sat down at the table wondering who they're both talking too. Cosmos looked and saw them at the table and then looked away. "They're here sir." said Cosmos. The person nodded his head and both Cosmos and Materia walked to the table. "The master will see all of you now." said Materia. "The master?" said Squall. The door opened and the master walked into the room. "Greetings everyone. I am Regis Lucis Caelum, the creator of the Dissidia League. I want to congratulate you all for making it this far on your journeys. I know that it might've been challenging for you and your teams to get here, but I can tell that you all have learned so much as you battled many Trainers and learned new experiences." said Regis. He sat down on his chair and everyone else sat down on their chairs. Regis looked at all the Trainers before the food came, then he looked at Noctis. "Nice to see you home my son." said Regis to Noctis. Everyone else looked at Noctis after hearing what Regis just said. "You're his son?" Ace asked. Noctis nodded his head yes. "My family has a very long history in this city, being the most powerful family of the city." said Noctis.
"How powerful?" Yuna asked. "By royalty." said Noctis. "So you're a prince and your father's a king?" said Tidus. "That is correct." said Regis. "The Lucis Caelum family founded this land 2,000 years ago and made this land as a kingdom for many centuries before turning it into Lucis City." said Cosmos. "We also taught our city how to live alongside Pokémon. Taught them to see them as our friends and part of our families. And establish our bond with them as our partners in battle. We've always seen Pokémon as creatures with a heart and soul, not as tools. We make sure that we give them the best life possible in the city and in other parts of the region so they could live happily to the fullest." said Regis. Noctis nodded his head in agreement and everyone else nodded their heads too. The door opened and dinner had arrived. Everyone talked and ate happily for a half hour. The Trainers thanked Regis for the dinner and then left the room to find their bedrooms. The girls found the room that they'll all share together and all the boys had separate bedrooms. After getting their things together in their rooms, it was time to go to the stadium for the opening ceremony.
Dissidia Stadium- Battlefield
"Good evening everyone and welcome to the first ever Dissidia League Championship!" said Regis. The crowd cheered and screamed excitedly. "I want to thank you all for coming here live in person or watching this live broadcast around the world for joining us to see which Trainer competing here will become the Dissidia League Champion!" said Regis. The crowd cheered happily. As he continued his speech, Cosmos and Materia knew that it was time to get everyone ready to walk out the door and walk to the battlefield. "Everybody all set?" said Cosmos. "Yes ma'am." said the Trainers. "Then let's go." said Cosmos. They all walked out of the back room and walked to the main entrance door of the battlefield. As they got close, they heard the crowd and music in the stadium. Cosmos and Materia opened the door and the Trainers walked out to the battlefield while being greeting by thunderous applause and cheers. As they walked, they saw their friends that they traveled with on their journeys in the crowd waving to them and wishing them luck. The 22 trainers stood on the battlefield and were ready for the competition to begin. "Now it's time to reveal who will battle first tomorrow morning." said Regis as everyone looked at the screen. It showed all the Trainer's faces and a versus logo. The pictures of the Trainers began to randomize themselves and then stopped on the first two Trainers that will compete. "Our first battle will be: Squall vs. Laguna!" said Regis. Squall and Laguna looked at each other. "I wish you the best of luck Squall. May the best Trainer win." said Laguna. He extended his right hand, wanting a handshake from Squall. "Good luck to you too." said Squall as he took Laguna's hand and they shook hands. Everyone else on the field looked at them, ready to see the battle tomorrow morning.
