The train screeched to a halt. Fraxure looked out the window. They were at their final stop. The Fairy region. She was staring out the window when from behind her she heard a chuckle. She quickly swiveled her head backwards. Standing in the shadows was...Her! The thing that looked like her crept forward and said in a voice not like hers at all "Gotcha!" Slowly the copys body melted little by little until it was a small purple blob. "Hi, my names Ditto. Whats yours?" With an astonished look on her face she stuttered "Fraxure." He smied and said "Well it's a pleasure to meet you Fraxure. I was thinking about making an alliance and you seem like a fine young lady." His smile got even bigger as he said "So what do you say?" Before she could say anything, outside the cart thier was a huge Boom! They both slowly crept out of the cart. Fraxure was amazed by what she saw. In the main cart lying on the ground was Gabite knocked unconscious. And standing on top of him was a small pink Pokemon with round innocent eyes. "I AM IGGLYBUFF!! NO ONE SHALL DEFY ME!!"

Pignite gaped in awe at Igglybuff. That tiny round Pokemon had just whooped a 150 pound dragon. Suddenly from the shadows lurched an enormous purple Pokemon. "Look little buddy I don't want to hurt you so get off of Gabite and leave us all alone." "YOU THINK YOU COULD DEFEAT ME!! MWAHAHAHAHA!! FOOLISH MORTAL!!!" With a flick of her tiny hand Nidoking was knocked off balance and fell to the ground. Befire he could do anything Igglybuff used Dazzling Gleam. Knocking him unconscious. Suddenly a looming presencw is felt be everyone. Coming out of a compartment is a gigantic Beartic with an equally large Sealeo by his side. With a roar Beartic charged. Igglybuff tensed and got ready to pounce. But before either of them took ine step forward two small discs shot from the roof hitting them both. Their bodies convulsed and then dropped. A screeching noise came from an intercom and a deep voice said "Please no more fighting or we will have to detain the rest of you, thank you." Pignite sighed with relief he hated unnecessary conflict. He meandered around the train for a few hours until it came to a stop. They were here. The Capitol.

Hawlucha and Mankey were led by a strange figure in all white to a private bedroom. "This is where you will be sleeping. Tommorow training will begin. Good night." he said with a demanding tone. Hawlucha stood staring at the door for minutes until she finally turned around to get in bed. Mankey was already passed out and snoring on the bed. She slowly scooted him over and got in bed. She knew tonight she wouldn't be sleeping.

Kirlia waltzed into the training room. She noticed everyone was already in small groups or pairs. She saw Solosis at a nearby station she started to gracefully walkwd towards him when she suddenly tripped over a small black and red cat-like Pokemon. "Get out of my way stupid cat!" she said as she kicked him away. She hardly made it two steps away before she fell to her knees. She stood up and looming behimd her was the menacing form of Pignite. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size buddy." Kirlia glanced around the room, she noticed everyone was staring at them. She had to fight him. Or she would be viewed as a coward. So she quickly shot a Psybeam. Pignite was blown into a nearby wall. He unsteadily rose to his feet with a gleam in his eyes that frightened Kirlia. With a mighty bellow he used Flamethrower and Kirlia barely had time to scream.

Marshstomp tentatively walked over to Pignite. "That was pretty great!" he said with a smile. "Oh, yeah. I was okay." Pignite shrugged. With a casual glance at Kirlia being floated off to the infirmary by her fellow tribute Solosis Marshstomp said "Look let me get to the point, I want to be allies." Pignite sat pondering the offer for a few minutes before saying "Only if Litten comes with us." Marshstomps smile grew "Thats not a problem. Not a problem at all."

Nuzleaf nervously twitched. He was sitting backstage awaiting his interview. He was thinking of all the ways not to pass out on stage when suddenly he heard his name being called. He shyly walked up the stairs onto the stage. He sat down on a comfy red chair opposite of a pale purple Pokemon with two tails. "Hi my name is Espeon, and you must be Nuzleaf. So tell us a bit about yourself." "Well," he stuttered "I'm from the Grass District my fellow tribute is Servine and I'm extremely nervous right now." The audience shuddered with laughter. Slowly a smile crept onto Nuzleafs face.

Staraptor crept quitely into his room. Noibat was laying soundless on the bed. He wished he could charm the audience like some of the other tributes. Especially that Nuzleaf he won over the crowd in an instant. Staraptor got into bed without a sound. He slowly and carefully curled up around Noibat. He had to make sure she survived the games. He had to.
